Xiliang Iron Cavalry

In an instant, Yuan Shu seemed to have grown old. Ji Ling clearly saw that Yuan Shu's back was a little hunched, and his expression was sluggish. He was not as vigorous as when he was proclaimed emperor.

Since the defeat of the last battle, Yuan Shu stayed in the palace all day long, playing songs every night, not thinking about military affairs, officials and generals were all in danger, and the number of concubines and beauties in the harem doubled. Lin Xing's concubine has the attitude of being proud of life and wanting to be happy.

Xuzhou, which is calm on the surface, is undercurrents. The Cao family, the Chen family and the Mi family are trying their best to fight for military power and officials. Judging from Tao Qian's tone, Xuzhou is determined to give up to Liu Bei.

Generosity, generosity, royal clan, the combination of these two conditions made Tao Qian choose Liu Bei, but put his own children aside. In the bottom of his heart, Tao Qian still regarded himself as a loyal minister. Back then, the emperor asked the state herds for food and grass. At that time, Tao Qian sold the grain and grass in the warehouse to the royal family without any hesitation, which was many times better than Jia Rong's giving wine.

In the study room of the State Shepherd's Mansion, Tao Qian put down the books in his hand and praised: "These books made by Chang'an are much more comfortable than the book slips. If I had this kind of books when I was young, I wouldn't need a carriage when I moved. "

Liu Bei laughed and said, "What Master Tao said is true. It is rumored that there are countless strange things in Chang'an's craftsman's workshop. The Moonlight Cup of Xianlian is all made of this. I don't know where Jia Rong came from to make these things."

"Xuande, no matter what the method is, as long as it has strength, it is a good method. Then Jia Rong was just a small lieutenant who followed Dong Zhuo back then, but now he has become a famous general. Compared with you, Jia Rong's background is even worse, heroes come out of troubled times." Tao Qian sighed.

When mentioning Jia Rong's family history, Liu Bei expressed surprise on his face, "Jia Rong is very human."

"I'm old, and there is no one in the Tao family who can provoke Xuzhou. Tomorrow, I will mention Xuande as the Xuzhou pastor again. This time, I will not refuse." Tao Qian said.

Liu Bei cupped his hands and said: "Why should you do this, my lord? Now that Cao Cao is in a decisive battle with Yuan Shu, it is difficult to take care of Xuzhou at the moment. Bei will definitely do his best to help you."

"I'm running out of time." Tao Qian said calmly.

"Bei will do his best to assist the young master in governing Xuzhou!" Liu Bei said sincerely.

Tao Qian stared at Liu Bei for a moment, then laughed heartily and said, "Xuande is indeed a generation of benevolence and righteousness. Among the heirs of the Tao family, none of them can succeed, so they can only be handed over to Xuande."

"I just hope that Xuande can treat Tao family members kindly." After Tao Qian finished speaking, he closed his eyes and remained silent.

Liu Bei bowed his hands and left the study.

Jia Rong didn't worry about the various changes in Xuzhou. He just needed to settle the Mi family properly before leaving, and take the life of Cao Yan. The more chaotic Xuzhou was, the more calm the Xiliang army would develop. .

In the dark night, soldiers of all shapes and colors can be seen everywhere in Xuzhou City, rushing to the various gates of Xuzhou.

At this time, the Mi family had already settled everything properly. Mi Zhu's prestige in Xuzhou was not just for fun. Most of the soldiers in the army obeyed his orders and faced Cao Baoxu and the snakes in the open. The news about Cao Bao had already reached Mi Zhu's hands. .

Looking at the beautiful figure not far away, Jia Rong's body lying in the sun couldn't help but move.

"You must know what happened to my elder brother. He actually asked me to leave Xuzhou with you, and he actually believed in a murderous man wandering around the world." Mi Huan said dissatisfied.

Jia Rong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Isn't this exactly what you want? If you're still complaining here, be careful I'll go to Mi Zhu and tell him you don't want to leave."

"I thought I wanted to take you, but I was just a dragging bottle." Jia Rong muttered.

"What is a tug oil bottle?" Mi Huanpu asked with twinkling eyes.

Jia Rong made a slip of the tongue, and accidentally popped up a new term.

"Who the hell are you? Don't lie to me that you are a quack killer who has killed hundreds of people." Mi Huan stared at Jia Rong and said, "My elder brother will definitely not hand me over to a murderer, and elder brother I'm respectful to you, don't hide it from me, or I'll give you an order, and you won't be able to get out of the Mi Mansion."

Jia Rong glanced at the eccentric Mi Huan, and said with a dark smile: "The Mi family is already in trouble in Xuzhou, and they are still playing the lady's temper here, which made me anxious, so they turned around and left. It's your Mi family who are unlucky." Closing his eyes and humming an unknown song, Jia Rong ignored Mi Huan who was on the verge of going berserk.

Mi Huan muttered in dissatisfaction: "Nonsense, my eldest brother is Xuzhou, don't drive, but you are the one who can't protect yourself. You are just a murderer in exile."

Jia Rong didn't argue, and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

The days in the Mi Mansion seemed calm, but in fact it was not that simple. After suffering a loss, Cao Bao’s actions will become more secretive. This is not Chang’an. Although the Lone Wolf’s ability is very strong, he still cannot do it in Xuzhou city. Cover the sky with one hand.

In the middle of the night, Cao’s house was still brightly lit. Groups of armored soldiers were patrolling back and forth. The defenses were as strict as those in the city. Taking advantage of the darkness, the three men in black gently climbed over the courtyard wall, with only a slight sound of falling to the ground.

The man in black approached Cao Yan's residence with ease, avoiding the soldiers along the way.

The woman's groans and the man's heavy panting came from inside the room. The man in black frowned slightly, pulled out his dagger, gently opened the door, and stepped inside, while the other two men in black stood guard outside the door.

"Mr. Cao is really very elegant. He doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, and he is still here to harm a good woman." The man in black glanced at the naked two entangled under the red candle, and smiled lightly.

Cao Yan was shocked when he heard this, and pushed the woman beside him away. Just as he was about to yell, a dagger was lightly pressed against his neck, "Don't yell, my hands are not stable sometimes."

The man in black glanced at the woman beside him, "Put on your clothes and keep quiet."

The woman looked at the man in black in horror, nodded blankly, and then picked up the clothes.

The man in black cast his eyes on Cao Yan, and said with a light smile, "I was also entrusted by someone to come here to take your life, don't blame me for being cruel."

Cao Yan's face was pale, and he begged: "Hero, the Cao family still has a lot of property, if you don't give it up, just go and get it, please forgive me."

The man in black shook his head lightly: "That's not allowed. It's the rule of our business to use other people's money to eliminate disasters."

"How much money the buyer gives you, I am willing to pay double, no, five times." Cao Yan said hastily.

"Five million dollars." The man in black whispered, "Five times that is twenty-five million dollars."

The woman on the side was stunned by such a conversation. She had never seen so much money in her life. She tightly held her mouth with both hands, for fear of making any noise and causing the man in black to be dissatisfied. Not an inch up or down.

Cao Yan rolled his eyes slightly, "This hero, my Cao family is willing to pay 3000 million yuan."

The man in black chuckled, looked carefully at the woman next to him, showed his white teeth and said, "I still want to take your life."

Cao Yan looked excited and said in horror: "You can't kill me, my father is General Xuzhou, you can't escape."

In the dark night, the voice seemed a little abrupt, only the shouts of many soldiers came from outside.

The face of the man in black changed slightly, and he slashed the dagger across Cao Yan's neck mercilessly, bringing up a smear of blood. world.

Looking at Cao Yan who was still trembling in the pool of blood, the woman screamed, and couldn't bear the panic in her heart anymore, struggling to escape to the door.

The man in black looked at the woman with pity, and mercilessly slashed the dagger across without looking back, and walked out of Cao Yan's room.

The soldiers who came to Cao Mansion after hearing the news saw a black figure rushing out of Cao Yan's room, and hurriedly followed, but the man in black was extremely fast and was very familiar with Cao Mansion, so he disappeared after a few turns. The shouts of soldiers continued to be heard.

Cao Yan died under the guard of dense soldiers, Cao Bao was on the verge of rage, and his face was surprisingly ugly. Cao Yan was the only seedling in the Cao family, and the burden of inheriting the family fell to Cao Yan. , now that Cao Yan is dead, what face does Cao Bao have to face his ancestors, tonight's Cao Mansion will definitely be a sleepless night.

"It's all trash." Cao Bao was furious, overturned the table, and cursed loudly: "A bunch of idiots."

"Investigate, we must investigate, even if we search the entire city, we must find the murderer. I will dismember the murderer's body, dismember it, and hang it at the gate of the city." Cao Bao roared.

"No!" The generals in the room responded in unison.

In the city of Xuzhou, soldiers in a hurry broke the tranquility of the past. The city gates were closed tightly, soldiers ran rampant, and merchants' goods were constantly knocked over, but these soldiers continued on their way without looking back. When soldiers came, the people ran away in a hurry.

In the state pastoral mansion, Tao Qian said with an ugly expression: "General Cao, immediately withdraw the soldiers back to the barracks. Take a look at what the city looks like. The merchants dare not do business, and the common people dare not go out."

Cao Bao said with a cold expression: "My lord, I'm sorry I can't agree to my humble position. My son was murdered in the mansion last night. I have pity that there is only such a son in the Cao family, but he died unexpectedly."

Tao Qian also heard some rumors before, but now seeing Cao Bao mentioning it, his complexion changed slightly, "Is this really the case?"

Cao Bao nodded slightly, and a stern look flashed in his eyes, "No matter who it is, they will have to pay the price for this matter." He already had a conclusion in his heart, when he sent soldiers to attack the Mi Mansion, Mi Zhu must have known everything, and he did not expect Mi Zhu to act like this He was so vicious that he attacked Cao's mansion at night and killed his only son. This feud was irreconcilable, no matter how high the price was, Cao Bao would not hesitate.

"Don't disturb the order in the city." Tao Qian sighed and waved Cao Bao to leave.

Originally planned to cede Xuzhou to Liu Bei today, but it seems that it can't be realized. Xuzhou, which has always been peaceful, has strange things happening one after another recently. Tao Qian is puzzled. Could it be that Cao Jun's people took the opportunity to sneak into the city?

It's Singles' Day, it's not easy, one more chapter, let everyone have a good time, but it seems that I accidentally clicked and posted two chapters yesterday, sorry.
