"Now we can only write to Cao Yanzhou first and put all the blame on Zhang Kai." Tao Qian took a breath and continued, "If Cao Cao wants to raise an army to take revenge, he must attack our Taishan camp first. Although Cao Bao is brave, he is not handsome.

I wonder if Mr. Lu is willing to go to Mount Tai to take charge?"

Lu Zhi did not want Xu Yan to fight, and felt that he could go to Mount Tai to mediate the matter, so he nodded and said, "That's fine, we can let Xuande station troops in the Xiaopei area to prevent Cao Cao from using troops in the future."

As mentioned earlier, Xiaopei's geographical location is extremely important to Xuzhou, because ancient wars relied on rivers to quickly transport grain, grass and baggage. Controlling Xiaopei suppressed Surabaya, and there were many important rivers in Jishui. If the enemy could not capture it,

From Pei County, we can only walk from Mount Tai to Langya, then go south through a large area of ​​mountains and hills along the Yishui River to Tancheng, the East China Sea, where Xuzhou is governed.

Tao Qian was also knowledgeable about military matters, so he naturally understood Lu Zhi's intentions and nodded, "I will mobilize Cao Hong to help Xuande."

Hearing that Tao Qian wanted Cao Hong to help Liu Bei, Lu Zhi couldn't help but look at Tao Qian deeply.

Cao Hong was not a great talent, and he was not proficient in literature or martial arts, but he was one of Tao Qian's people brought from Yangzhou, so he was highly trusted by Tao Qian.

Tao Qian's intention of using him is self-evident.

In Xuzhou, Liu Bei was regarded as Lu Zhi's biggest supporter, so he naturally wanted to fight for Liu Bei's interests.

"It would be great to have Cao Zhizhong to help him, but Cao Cao is a very good man. Xuande is short of soldiers and horses, so he should send the Pi soldiers to help."

Tao Qian nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll ask Chen Deng to lead three thousand troops to help."

After hearing Chen Deng, Lu Zhi was satisfied.

Among the many young scholars in Xuzhou, the one that Lu Zhi valued the most was Chen Deng. Although this man focused too much on family interests, he still had some talent.

Tao Qian's military order was quickly conveyed to Liu Bei in Pengcheng on a fast horse. Liu Bei received the military order and immediately called for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to discuss the matter.

Liu Bei has lived a good life in the past two years. Compared with Cao Cao, who has been on the move for a year, and Yuan Shao, who was beaten by Ma Qiang and forced to withdraw from Jizhou, he can be considered at ease in Pengcheng.

In the past two years, he, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei all married separately, but because of their busy official duties, the three of them spent much more time sleeping together in the government office than at home.

Liu Bei, who served as the Prime Minister of Pengcheng, was not proud of being promoted to the county governor. Instead, he became more humble because he found his own incompetence in handling various affairs. Not only did he often consult local scholars, but he also got rid of his love for beautiful clothes.

Even though the conditions are better now, he still wears linen clothes every day, talks to people without any pretense of state affairs, and often goes into people's homes to understand the people's conditions. He has won the support of everyone in Pengcheng, and many people have come to seek refuge.

The one whom Liu Bei values ​​the most is Sun Qian.

Sun Qian was from Beihai and a disciple of Zheng Xuan. He was calm, talented and sociable. He gave many ideas to Liu Bei in governing Pengcheng.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen." After listening to Liu Bei's introduction, Sun Qian shook his head and said, ""The Book of Rites: Qu Li Shang" says: We cannot share the hatred of our father. Cao Cao will definitely raise troops to take revenge. Xuzhou Taiping

Years ago, I didn’t expect that I would be killed by weapons because of this.”

"Brother, General Cao has some friendship with us. Can you mediate between them? When next spring comes, let's fight and hide Dong Zhuo together. How can we fight alone?" Zhang Fei muttered.

"Master Lu can't mediate. I'm afraid Cao Cao won't listen to what my eldest brother said." Guan Yu shook his head and said, "Brother, I think a war is inevitable. Mr. Tao Shijun, Duke Lu wants us to send troops to Pei County, so he must have the same thought.

.”

Liu Bei stroked his beard and nodded and said, "Yun Chang's words are reasonable, but even if there is only a chance of success, we still have to try. If we can succeed, the people of the two states will be spared the suffering of the sword."

Zhang Fei suddenly shouted, "That's right! We can ask the camp leader to come forward! The camp leader is now General Zhenbei, and holds the Qinghai and Hebei states in his hands. If the camp leader speaks, Cao Cao will not dare not listen!"

Zhang Fei has a certain admiration for Ma Qiang and always feels that Ma Qiang can solve any problem.

On this point, Cao Ang said that I was the same way.

"Yes! If Ma Zhenbei can be persuaded to intervene in this matter, Cao Cao will definitely be concerned." Sun Qian also thought Zhang Fei's idea was a good one.

"Okay, I'll send two letters to Qingzhou and Yanzhou respectively, but we can't just rely on mediation without preparing for war. Otherwise, we in Xuzhou will suffer the loss if we fight together."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he stood up and came to the map and said to his two brothers, "Third brother, you lead a thousand soldiers from your country as the vanguard to capture Xiaopei. Yuzhou is now leaderless. You must be polite first and then attack. It's best if you don't hurt anyone."

Yun Chang, please immediately summon the sergeants who have gone home on vacation to return to camp, and then join me as the rear team.

Gongyou, I'm afraid I will be in Xiaopei for the next period of time, and I will leave the government affairs in Pengcheng to you, and I will leave Furen to help you."

"promise!"

Liu Bei, who has been silent for a long time, is about to return to the big stage of the world, and Zhang Kai, who caused all this, has already rushed all the way to Jiujiang.

I have to say, he ran really fast!

Zhang Kai knew that after the incident was exposed, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou could not tolerate him. His only way to survive was to hire Yuan Gongdao regardless of his background.

From the perspective of employing people, Yuan Shu is a real meritocracy. In addition to Sun Jiajun, there are many generals who are former thieves among his subordinates, such as Mei Gan, Lei Xu, Chen Lan and others, who were once Naturally, there is no shortage of thieves in Wuthering Mountains like him.

What's more, he brought a lot of gifts.

Sure enough, when he learned that Zhang Kai had intercepted and killed Cao Song, and then saw the boxes of gold beads dedicated to him, Yuan Shu just felt that our old Yuan family is so happy today, let Cao Mengde have nothing to do with me, retribution is here. !

After being happy, Yuan Shu made Zhang Kai the captain of the school with a stroke of his pen and kept him in the army.

Anyway, he is far away from Cao Cao now. Even if Cao Cao wants to trouble me, please kill Tao Qian first.

"I don't know what Cao Mengde's expression would be like if he knew his father was killed, hahahahaha!" Yuan Shu looked at the north and laughed, wishing he could fly to Cao Cao now to see his face.

But the person who knew it faster than Cao Cao was Ma Qiang who was far away in Jizhou.

Well... long live the telegraph!

"Xiahou Dun went to pick up Cao Song? Huh? Or was he killed by Zhang Kai? Oh, he's not dead yet..." Ma Qiang looked helpless as he looked at the information that Guo Jia hurriedly sent.

I have a pretty good impression of this old lady Cao.

These days, those who do things for money are all good officials!

still?

Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other and quickly averted their eyes.

Did Duke Ming already know that Zhang Kai would kidnap and kill Cao Song?

In other words...behind this matter, is Mr. Ming secretly manipulating it?

The two smart minds of Guo Jia and Jia Xu were immediately filled with thoughts.
