In the setting of Cao Cao and his advisers, the original first method, that is, to destroy the false way, and after quelling the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion, he took Xuzhou easily, but when he saw the lives of the people of Xuzhou at this time, the first idea was excluded by Cao Cao.

The remaining way, speaking of which, thanks to Liu Bei, if it weren't for Liu Bei, Cao Cao would not have been able to think of such a good way.

People in later generations all know the story of Tao Qiansan's decision to Xuzhou, some people think that this is a show, and some people think that Tao Qian is sincere, but in Cao Cao's view, Tao Qiansan let Xuzhou completely because he was forced by his subordinates.

After all, Tao Qian is first and foremost the lord of Xuzhou, and Liu Bei is a guest army anyway, so why does Tao Qian need to put on a show, or take the position of the state pastor to show off, as for sincerity, it is even more ridiculous.

The reason why Tao Qian let Xuzhou three times is entirely because Tao Qian saw that most of the civil and military forces under his command had taken refuge under Liu Bei's command, and if he wanted to ensure the lives of his descendants, then he had to give up Xuzhou, not wait until the end, when Liu Bei was not ready to continue waiting.

Such an idea was more certain in the evening, when some Xuzhou officials were flattering or implicitly flattering in order to welcome themselves.

"Gongzu, although the Son of Heaven asked me to send troops to quell the rebellion, in recent years, my Yanzhou harvest has not been good, and the matter of money and food has always been troubled in my heart!"

Although Liu Bei, who was studying history, united with Xuzhou civil and military forces to force Tao Qian to give up Xuzhou, but on the surface, Cao Cao did not show Xiàn, but made a greedy appearance, constantly saying how short of money and food he was.

As the lord of a state, and Cao Cao, who is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, actually made such a look at this time, not to mention that the civil and military forces under Cao Cao were stunned, even Tao Qian and the civil and military forces of Xuzhou were stunned, and some of the civil and military forces of Xuzhou who were not well concealed flashed with contempt in their eyes.

It's good to be troubled, it's good to be troubled!

Tao Qian, who came back to his senses, was overjoyed, because Cao Cao asked himself for money and food so openly and secretly, in Tao Qian's opinion, it was not intended for Xuzhou, after all, if he intended to be with Xuzhou, then Xuzhou's Qiē was not his Cao Cao's in the end, why make such a shameful attitude.

"Prime Minister Cao Cheng is the Son of Heaven, sharing worries for the Han Dynasty, working tirelessly, personally leading troops to quell the rebellion, Chen Tao Qian is the pastor of Xuzhou, how can he sit idly by, please rest assured, the money and food sent by the prime minister this time are all wrapped in the minister's body!"

Compared with Xuzhou, the small money and food are more important, and everyone who understands knows it, so Tao Qian did not have any unwillingness to pay for the money and food sent by Cao Jun this time, but was willing.

"Well, good, good, good, Gongzu deserves to be Gongzu, Cao is the son of heaven in this generation, thank you Gongzu!"

Cao Cao had a smile on his face, raised his glass to face Tao Qian, and his wide sleeves covered Cao Cao's face, so no one saw Cao Cao's eyes flashing with essence at this time.

Asking for money and food is not Cao Cao's fundamental purpose, appeasing Tao Qian and letting him relax his vigilance is Cao Cao's main purpose, after all, Tao Qian is still Xuzhou Mu at this time, if he can't think about it, if he wants to burn a jade, then it will bring Cao Cao a lot of trouble, therefore, at this time, it is still necessary to appease him appropriately, in Cao Cao's opinion.

On the dinner, because of Cao Cao and Tao Qian, the inexplicable tacit understanding in their hearts, so the atmosphere of the whole banquet was very warm, a scribe wearing wide-sleeved clothes, toasting, sighing about the past and the present, and the generals wearing armor were drinking and boxing, coming to the hall from time to time, drawing swords and competitions.

The lively banquet was not until after the moon was in the middle of the sky, and then it gradually ended, Cao Cao, whose face was full of drunkenness, was supported by his subordinate Wenwu, while muttering words that he didn't know what they meant, while shaking around, no matter who it was, seeing Cao Cao at this time, he thought that he was already a drunk who couldn't get drunk anymore.

But this is such a drunken ghost Cao Cao, after being helped to his courtyard, his eyes suddenly became very sober, and he glanced at Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and asked them to guard the door, Cao Cao took Guo Jia and others into the house.

Cao Cao, who entered the house, asked Guo Jia and the others after he became the leader: "What, do you think this plan can be successful?" ”

On the reception dinner, Cao Cao's subordinates are not really focused on having fun, Cao Cao is constantly appeasing Tao Qian and reducing his vigilance, Guo Jia and others are testing the Wenchen under Tao Qian's command to see if they have other thoughts in their hearts.

"Returning to the lord, a qiē is just as the lord thinks, since Tao Qian expelled power, not only the subordinate military disputes, but also some civil servants, lost confidence in Tao Qian, and this time the Qingzhou Yellow Turban rebellion, Xuzhou soldiers faced the chaos of the party, defeated again and again, lost the city and lost the land, and lost the army, which made this part of the civil ministers even more optimistic about Tao Qian, therefore, in the humble view, although it cannot be said that they immediately turned to loyalty to the lord, but it is true that they are not loyal to Tao Qian wholeheartedly."

After Guo Jia finished speaking with a smile, Lu Su and Fu Zhu both stood up and told everything they observed one by one, the words of the two were similar to Guo Jia, they were both part of Tao Qian's ministers, and they were no longer wholeheartedly loyal to Tao Qian, but began to waver.

In general, in a word, that is, Tao Qian's dominance over the subordinate martial arts is indeed no longer an iron plate, and the people's hearts are floating, which is a good description of Tao Qian's subordinate martial arts.

"Wenhe, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, do you think that among the civil and military forces in Xuzhou, there are those who are easy to say and make them loyal to me?" Cao Cao, who heard the words of Guo Jia and the others, greatly increased his confidence, since Tao Qian is a martial artist and people's hearts are fluctuating, then it shows that it is feasible to learn Liu Bei above history, so the next thing to do is to choose the first person to contact.

"Hui Lord, I think that the first person to be contacted by Wenchen is two candidates, the first Chen Deng, and the second Mi Zhu!"

"Chen Deng, Mi Zhu ・・・・・・"

Cao Cao muttered the names of the two people in his mouth, and he also remembered in his mind, about the information about the two people, Mi Zhu needless to say, Liu Bei's relative in later generations, Liu Bei was able to successfully capture Xuzhou, Mi Zhu also spent a lot of effort in it, as for Chen Deng, not to mention, Lu Bu, the world's first general, finally died in Baimenlou, a large part of the reason is because of him.
