Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 476 A Thunderbolt from the Blue Sky, Desperate Tao Kan

As everyone knows, Tao Kan is listening to the conversation between Tao Qian and his son at the door.

Since Tao Kan was Tao Qian's adopted son, he did not need to go through any communication when meeting Tao Qian.

Tao Kan, who had just returned from Ji County, had just returned from the travel and dust, and before he could explain Lu Bu's attitude to Tao Qian, he heard these heart-wrenching words by accident.

Tao Kan standing at the door had mixed feelings. At this moment, he seemed to be drained of all his energy.

Tao Kan also knew that he was an adopted son who had no blood relationship, so he had been working hard all these years, trying hard to get Tao Qian to recognize him.

Is Tao Kan interested in the six counties of Xuzhou?It would be a lie to say that there is no intention. In this troubled world, who wouldn't want to crack the soil and become a lord and become the overlord?
But Tao Kan never revealed his true inner thoughts, he just tried his best to do all the things Tao Qian entrusted to him well, conscientiously, hard-working and hard-working.

But when a hopeful person accidentally learns that all his hopes have been dashed, it is undoubtedly a shocking blow to him.

This is as cruel as a boy who has had a crush on the goddess for a long time before he can confess, and then accidentally learns that the goddess is already married and has children.

Tao Kan didn't open the door to ask Tao Qian why all this happened, because he knew that tearing up his face at this time would do him no good at all.

The dazed Tao Kan staggered away from the governor's mansion and shut himself in the house.

Tao Kan really wanted to get drunk, but he couldn't, because he had to meet Tao Qian before Tao Qian knew the news of his return, otherwise Tao Qian would be suspicious.

After a while, Tao Kan estimated that the pottery merchant had left, so he got up and went to meet Tao Qian.

"Meet foster father!" Tao Kan saluted with his usual expression.

"Is the general willing to send troops to help?" Tao Qian asked hopefully.

"Father, the general did not agree to this matter, and returned all the gifts from the father. The general made it clear that it was not for him to intervene in this matter. It is only natural for Cao Cao to avenge his father. He can only help persuade , instead of sending troops to obstruct it." Tao Kan clasped his hands.

"Forget it, forget it, what the general said is also reasonable, we can't make things difficult for the general, just go down!" Tao Qian waved his hand feebly.

"Resign, baby!" Tao Kan cupped his hands and left.

After Tao Kan left, Tao Qian sat alone for a long time, then got up and said, "Get ready to drive, I will go to Langya overnight to supervise the battle!"

……

It's night, at Tao Kan's house.

Tao Kan and Liu Yun sat opposite each other and drank, and there were wine jars on and off the table.

"What is it that displeases Brother Shixing?" Liu Yun asked in confusion.

From entering the room to now, Liu Yun has asked this question no less than ten times, but Tao Kan just drank and didn't answer.

This time, Tao Kan still did not answer the question, and still picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

"If Brother Shi Xing doesn't understand what he said, then I don't need to drink this wine!" Liu Yun threw his glass.

"Brother, knowing too much will not do you any good. Come on, let's drink!" Tao Kan was already a little drunk.

"Based on our friendship, why can't we say it? Speak!" Liu Yun looked at Tao Kan with piercing eyes.

Seeing that Liu Yun insisted on asking, Tao Kan had no choice but to tell Liu Yun the ins and outs of the matter.

After Liu Yun heard this, he was furious: "What an old man! Doesn't he know what his own two sons are like? How much have you done for Xuzhou in the past few years? This stupid old man Don't you see?"

Tao Kan didn't expect that Liu Yun's reaction was stronger than his. Liu Yun's voice made Tao Kan half sober.

In desperation, Tao Kan quickly covered Liu Yun's mouth: "Speak carefully! Be careful that walls have ears!"

Liu Yun faltered and wanted to speak, Tao Kan ordered: "Don't speak loudly, do you understand?"

Seeing Liu Yun nodding his head, Tao Kan let go of his hand.

"Brother, what are you doing to assist such a fatuous lord? His two sons can only fight each other and do things that people look down upon. Since Tao Qian wants to pass the throne to that pair of trash , we don’t need to assist Tao Qian! Xuzhou is handed over to them, and sooner or later someone will take it away!” Liu Yun said angrily.

"What good connections do brothers have?" Tao Kan was also moved by Liu Yun's words.

"Shi Xin, right now there are [-] soldiers and horses in the camp outside the city, and the [-] cavalry will be assigned to me. As for the [-] Danyang soldiers, you and Cao Bao will each control half of them. That is to say, the soldiers that can be mobilized by the pair of trash Ma, but there are more than [-] defenders in the city. If you and I join hands, it will not be difficult for Xiapi City to change hands." Liu Yun sneered.

"Brother, you want to rebel?" Tao Kan was taken aback by Liu Yun.

Tao Kan originally thought that Liu Yun would at most switch to other princes, but he didn't expect Liu Yun to come directly!

"What if it's the other way around? At present, most of the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou are gathered in Kaiyang. If you and I jointly capture Xiapi City, we can conquer the rest of the counties within a few days. When the Yanzhou army attacks , according to the city to defend or surrender Cao Cao, what choice we make depends entirely on our wishes." Liu Yun said in a low voice.

"I have to say, brother, what you said is a perfect strategy, but after all, I am Tao Qian's adopted son. If I do this, how will I gain a foothold in the world in the future?" Tao Kan hesitated.

"Shixin! What is the juncture? Are you still concerned about what you have? Think about it, if the six counties of Xuzhou were captured by Cao Cao, we would have to leave Xuzhou. Rather than doing this, it would be better to strike first!" Liu Yun said viciously.

"What about Cao Bao and his [-] troops?" Tao Kan asked.

"If Cao Bao is willing to join forces, then add him; if this man is obsessed with his obsession, just terminate him and annex his troops! Until now, I still don't know why Cao Bao became the general of Xuzhou!" Liu Yun sneered.

"What about the potters and Tao Ying? Chen Gui and Chen Deng's father and son in the city are also a variable. There are not a few family members of the Chen family!" Tao Kan said.

"The Tao merchant and Tao Ying can be killed or kept as a gift to Cao Cao. As for the Chen family, Chen Gui and his son have long been dissatisfied with Tao Qian's stupidity. In my opinion, they may not help that pair of waste. Besides, Chen The nursing home at home is only [-], so we can't make any trouble." Liu Yun replied.

"Besides, Chen Deng's talent is well-known in Xuzhou. If he and his son can be recruited to work together, great things will be accomplished!" Liu Yun added.

"This is a very important move, please allow me to think about it." Tao Kan frowned.

"A man can act with a clear heart. He Tao Qian didn't treat you as a foster son at all. Why do you still respect him as a foster father? Besides, the six counties of Xuzhou have reached a critical moment of life and death. If you and I don't do anything, these things will be terrible. You have to take advantage of Cao Cao!" Liu Yun persuaded.

"Let me think twice." Tao Kan took a deep breath.

……

Xuzhou, Langya.

[-] Cao Jun in linen and filial piety lined up under Kaiyang City, looking at Kaiyang City in sight.

Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Wei Wentong, Master and Apprentice Shang, Lai Huer, Tian Yu and others stood on the tower, looking at the brightly armored and high-spirited Cao Jun, everyone felt a little apprehensive.
