PS: Thank you for the tip of the brothers in the deserted year of the lonely island!

"Tao Shang sent someone to say, as long as I agree with him to become the next Xuzhou Mu, then I will cut off two of the two remaining countries and one county in Xuzhou to me, as for Tao Ying, he also said that as long as I support him to become the next Xuzhou Mu, then he will cut a country or a county in Xuzhou and me, from here, this Tao Ying is not as bold as his brother Tao Shang."

In the county government of Liuxian County, Cao Cao spread out two bamboo slips representing the meaning of the pottery merchant and Tao Ying, put them on the table, looked at them carefully, and said with a smile to the next Wenwu.

After Cao Cao finished saying with a smile, Guo Jia, who was at the head of the group, stood up and smiled at Cao Cao: "The lord, whether it is a pottery merchant or Tao Ying, at this moment, do not want to work together, but fight with each other, and use the foundation of Xuzhou as a bargaining chip. ”

"Well, Wenhe, Yuanlong, is there any news from them?"

When Zhao Yun led the troops to open Donghai County, Cao Cao, who stayed in Xuzhou, did not do nothing, Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, or the allegiance of the Chen family and the Mi family, was the biggest thing Cao Cao did.

Among them, the Mi family chose to be loyal to Cao Cao because Cao Cao was willing to marry Mi Zhu's sister, that is, Mrs. Mi of Liu Chan, the queen of Shu who gave birth to the happy Shu queen in later generations.

As for the Chen family, Chen Deng was loyal because he wanted to make a career under Cao Cao, and as for Chen Qi, the current head of the Chen family, he chose to re-bet on Cao Cao because of Tao Qian's growing mediocrity and incompetence, as well as his disbelief in the Tao family's second son.

For Chen Jue, who was born in a family, as long as his family can prosper for a long time, then there is no pressure on him to abandon the old lord and be loyal to the new lord.

Of course, whether it is the Chen family or the Mi family, the betrayal of the two families, in fact, is inseparable from Tao Qian, when Tao Qian was young, he was indeed a generation of wise masters, but with the growing old and weak in recent years, Tao Qian in addition to gradually delegating power, making the subordinate military fight, but also secretly instructed the Xia Pi Xiang Rong to supervise Guangling, Xiapi, Pengcheng to transport grain, using the grain in his hands, the Dafutu Temple, which can accommodate more than 3,000 people, read Buddhist scriptures.

And to believe in the Buddha exempted from military service as a call, attracting more than 5,000 households, each of which bathes the Buddha, sets up more wine and rice, and sets up a seat on the road, through dozens of miles, the people come to watch and eat and ten thousand people.

At the same time, it is also alienated from the sages, the appointment of villains, backsliding, Guangling is too guarded by Zhao Yu, Xu Fang is also a celebrity, with loyalty and straightforwardness, Cao Hong and other slanderous villains, humble and profound, criminal and political disharmony, goodness is more victimized, and it is gradually chaotic, these words secretly spread in Xuzhou City, all show that the old Tao Qian has gradually lost the wisdom of his youth.

At this time, Tao Qian was just like what Chen Shou commented in the Three Kingdoms of the later generations: "Tao Qian was in a coma and died of sorrow, and Zhang Yang gave the head to his subordinates, all of whom owned the state and county. ”

Therefore, whether it is the Chen family or the Mi family, being able to persuade Cao Cao to be loyal with little effort is inseparable from what Tao Qian did in his later years.

Of course, this incident also made Cao Cao's heart even more awake, the era of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is not like the later generations, this is an era like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the monarch chooses the minister, the minister also chooses the monarch, once the monarch is mediocre and incompetent, then the civil and military below are very likely to betray directly and be loyal to others.

Of course, there is one of them, which makes Cao Cao secretly awe-inspiring, that is, the family, if it were not for the Chen family, Cao Cao almost forgot about it, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms did not completely perish until after the Tang Dynasty, the time of the rise was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chen Jue's actions, so that Cao Cao had a strong sense of vigilance against the family, and because of this, it brought a huge disaster and shocking changes to the family in the future.

After not saying much, I said that at this time, Jia Xu, who was appointed by Cao Cao to contact Chen Deng and Mi Zhu in Xuzhou City, heard Cao Cao's inquiry, and bowed his hand to Cao Cao and said: "Back to the lord, the Chen family and the Mi family have sent news, saying that Tao Qian is seriously ill in bed at this time, and the limit is approaching, as long as the lord arrives in the city, and the letter sent by the second son of the Tao family to the lord is handed over to Xuzhou for the big and small civil and military to watch, then they are sure to persuade Tao Qian to let go of Xuzhou!" ”

"Good! If Xuzhou goes down, then the four states of Yan, Qing, Xu, and Henan in the Central Plains will have three states in hand, without further ado, the order will go down, and the whole army will rest for half an hour, and after half an hour, the whole army will set off! ”

Cao Cao, who was about to unify the land of Sanzhou, stood up under his ambition, waved his right hand outward, and the civil and military forces under his command did not know if they were infected by Cao Cao at the same time. ”

After Wen Wu retreated, Cao Cao, who was sitting in the hall, moved his gaze to the map of the thirteen states in the world behind him, and it can be seen from this map that Yanzhou and Qingzhou Beihai County have been dyed black unique to Cao Jun.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao clapped his hands and let a guard offer pen and ink, and the wolf in his hand did not hesitate to blacken the land of Xuzhou, after Xuzhou was dyed black, it can be seen that Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, these three states are connected together by black, seeing this, Cao Cao's eyes flashed a satisfaction and ambition.

Not enough, far from enough, he wants to make the entire thirteen states dye black that belongs to Cao Jun, even outside the Han world······

Half an hour later, the 300,000 Cao army rested, the forward 100,000 were led by Cao Ren, the Chinese army was 150,000 led by Cao Cao himself, the rear army was 50,000 led by Xiahoudun, and the 300,000 black-clothed and black-armored Cao army was like a black cloud crushing the city and wanting to destroy it.

One day after Cao Jun's departure, Tao Qian also convened large and small civil and military staff members in Xuzhou's governor's mansion to gather here to prepare for the next Xuzhou pastor.

"The lowest rank (the last general, etc.) is referred to the lord!"

Tao Qian, who was emaciated and had to take a breath when he took a step, with the support of his second son, made it difficult to reach the position of state pastor, and after a moment of respite, he raised his left hand with some sleepiness and struggled and said, "Everyone, please get up, sit!" ”

"Thank you, lord!"

After a burst of friction between the sleeves and armor, the civil and military sides sat opposite each other, and Chen Deng, who came here with his father Chen Qi, sat behind, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes.
