Lu's relatives

Chapter 176 Tao Lu's words are sharp, what does Qin Xu mean?

Tao Qian came, dragging his newly recovered body, with a haggard face and gray hair, and with the support of the potter and Tao Ying, he came to the temporary camp of Lu Bujun.All the civil and military people in Xuzhou had already got the news, waiting in front of the camp gate, they didn't know how to feel when they saw Tao Qian's old-fashioned appearance, and their previous complaints towards Tao Qian also faded a lot.Although Tao Qian made a big scandal at the gate of Xiapi City this time, and was abruptly "scared" by the news that Cao Cao led the crowd to attack, since Tao Qian came to serve as Xuzhou Mu, although there are occasional After all, Xuzhou has become one of the most prosperous places among the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty in recent years. Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou has made great contributions.

"My lord..." includes the father and son of the Chen family who went to Lv Bu's camp for secret talks when they begged Lv Bu to lead his troops to prevent Cao Cao from going down to Pi, as well as Cao Bao and Mi Zhu, the heads of the Cao family and the Mi family, who took advantage of the situation to "conspiracy" against Lv Bu's son-in-law. People, seeing that Tao Qian, who is still quite handsome despite his age, has turned into this appearance, they all bowed to Tao Qian sincerely.

"Cao's army is under pressure now, and Lu Qingzhou has worked tirelessly to help me in Xuzhou. The old man is very grateful, so as soon as he woke up, he came to express his gratitude. Since you came early, you and the old man will go to see Lu Qingzhou and thank you face to face!" Seeing this The Xuzhou Liangzhu who had gathered under their own command had already lost their hearts at this time. Tao Qian didn't say anything, he threw away the support of his two sons, and tremblingly rushed to Xuzhou Wenwu who was present and made a square long bow , quite a bit of a hero, said with a deep sigh.

"Brother Gongzu, Bu originally wanted to visit the mansion after the military affairs were settled, but unexpectedly, brother Gongzu would come to meet him in person. How could Bu dare to take it? I'm really ashamed. I hope brother Gongzu will forgive me, forgive me. !" Tao Qian had arranged the scene and was waiting for someone to report, but unexpectedly, there was a sound of horseshoes in the camp, and Lu Bu arrived before the voice, and brought Qin Xu, Dianwei, Tai Shici and other generals from Qingzhou The heroic and mighty Qingzhou shepherd Lü Bu who came to greet him was not the same as the gray-haired Xuzhou shepherd Tao Qian who needed someone to support him when he walked. Qingzhou, which seems to be thriving by the day, is similar to Xuzhou, which is rich and has a strong army, but is everywhere showing signs of decline?This state of ebb and flow suddenly appeared in front of Xuzhou officials who had just felt a little sympathy for Tao Qian, Xuzhou civil and military officials who had just been a little flustered by Tao Qian's tragic card just now, the calculations surged in their hearts again come up.

"It's right, it's right! Tao Qian is incompetent, and he has Danyang's elite soldiers in his hands, but he caused Xuzhou to suffer, and made mere thieves dare to bully Dahanzhou County; and because of the misunderstanding between his family and Yanzhou Cao Cao, Xuzhou was in danger of dying. If it wasn’t for Lu Qingzhou’s righteousness to help me in Xuzhou, Tao Qian would really be dead, and I’m sorry for the Han court!” Tao Qian turned a blind eye to the reactions of the people around him, and still speaking slowly, said to Lu Bu: “This time only I would like to use the benevolence and prestige held by General Lu to save the millions of people in Xuzhou, even if Tao Qian dies immediately, there will be no regrets!"

"Gong Zu is too polite! There is no need to mention the previous matter. Since you and I are both the shepherds of Dahan Prefecture, how can Bu sit back and watch the thieves invade Xuzhou? It is his duty to come to help, not to mention that brother Gongzu is not tired in Qingzhou, In the case of internal troubles, have you given out some military funds to help? Actually, I don’t want to hide it from Gongzu, and there is still a little surplus in the past few days. Unexpectedly, Gongzu and Cao Mengde had a quarrel, and Bu also studied in Xuzhou. You shouldn't get involved in this personal grievance, Gongzu is seriously ill and can't take care of the matter, so he's doing it for me, but I won't return the remaining military funds to Gongzu!" Lu Bu seemed to be in a good mood, and after talking with Tao Qian Among them, he didn't shy away from the fact that Tao Qian came to Xiapi to save Xiapi after being invited by Tao Qian with [-] shi of grain.Even the change of defense against Xiapicheng this time has made a high profile.

"It is said that Wenhou in Qingzhou is generous, righteous, benevolent and mighty, which is different from what the outside world has said before. I can see it today, and it is true! But Wenhou is not polite. Tao also knows the difficulties in Qingzhou, so how can he care about some military supplies? Tao Mou will bear all the military resources needed to help Wenhou in Xiapi..." When Lu Bu met Tao Qian, although his words were extremely polite, most of the people present were those who had been in the officialdom for many years You old man, why can't you hear the sharp words in the conversation between these two people.From the very beginning when the two met, Tao Qian was almost at a disadvantage. He didn't know that Lu Bu was clearly rumored to be a stupid general. The matter of Tao Qian's payment of [-] yuan and food was turned over lightly, and the old fox like Tao Qian was also unknowingly fascinated by the authorities. He was led by the nose by Lu Bu, so that he had to flatter him against his will. After giving Lv Bu a hand, he made such a promise under the rush of words, and let Lv Bu get a batch of military funds for no reason. It's as if someone came to help and reminded you to bleed.

"My lord, the spring night is cool, Tao Xuzhou is old and frail, and he is recovering from a long illness, how about inviting Tao Xuzhou to the army tent to talk?" Just as all the civil and military personnel in Xuzhou saw their lord fall in front of Lu Bu Downside, there are quite a few diehards that Tao Qian has cultivated over the past few years. Seeing Tao Qian being beaten, he finally mustered up the courage to write a draft, and when he came forward to speak to save Tao Qian's face, Qin Xu's weak voice, full of caring tone, spoke to Lu Bu first.Cao Bao and Mi Zhu, who were standing next to Tao Qian, almost laughed at this pretentious attitude. The blind man could hear Qin Xu's ridicule towards Tao Qian. Just because of the sarcastic words in Qin Xu's words, the Tao merchant, the eldest son of Tao Qian who was supporting Tao Qian whose hands were trembling, wanted to eat this guy alive.

"That's right. I didn't know that when Gongzu came, Bu Zheng was arranging that if the previous letters were not good enough to persuade him, he would open the city to 'fight' the matter of Cao Mengde. Now that Gongzu has come and is the host, why don't we discuss it together?" How about two?" Although Qin Xu has already received the news, after all, Cao Cao has a history of tearing up the covenant for no reason and blatantly attacking his allies. His credit rating is infinitely close to zero, so Lu Bu is not careless, but There is no intention to deceive Tao Qian.

"This...Since Wen Hou invited me, Tao will be ashamed to take this opportunity to learn about Wen Hou's strategic skills!" It's a cold spring, and ordinary strong men will be a little bit overwhelmed if they stand for a long time, let alone Tao Qian. Already in his sixties, he had fainted twice before, and he hadn’t recovered well, so his body was already extremely weak; he was carelessly defeated in a rhetorical confrontation with Lu Bu before, and then he was treated by Qin Xu, a junior. After being ridiculed, he almost pointed at Tao Qian's nose and scolded him for being incompetent. After several rounds of stimulation, Tao Qian was already extremely angry in his heart, and he felt a little dizzy again. Both civil and military are present, but at this time, they are just holding on with the support of their two sons.Hearing Lv Bu's invitation at this moment, Tao Qian's meaning was fulfilled. To lose is not to lose, Tao Qian panted a little self-deprecatingly and said: "Tao is really old, and it's easy to stand here for a while. I can't stand it any longer, this Cao Cao bullied a certain old man, it's really hateful!"

Tao Qian's last words to save face were superfluous, and did not resonate with Xuzhou's civil and military officials at all. On the contrary, a considerable number of Xuzhou's civil and military officials who had been frightened during this period showed a bit of disdain Come.Originally, although Xuzhou and Yanzhou are adjacent to each other, after all, there are not many negotiations on weekdays. Besides, Xuzhou has always adhered to the strategy of making friends with each other and not offending each other. Why did he stay so well in Yuzhou, give up the fat that he could get right away, and come here in another way?How could Xuzhou have such a catastrophe?It's good now, seeing Lu Bu's new force joining, your words changed, and it turned out that Cao Cao bullied you when you were old?Co-author the pros and cons, the good and the bad, let your old Tao family say it all?

"Tao Xuzhou is right! Cao Cao's favorite thing to do is to bully honest people. Tao Xuzhou must take care of himself, and don't get angry because of such villains!" Seeing the bright eyes of Cao Bao and Mi Zhu, who were targeted by Xuzhou civil and military officials Staring at Lu Bu and Qin Xu himself felt a little uncomfortable, and it happened that Tao Qian said these words again, so Qin Xu had no choice but to divert his attention, and said "comfortably" with nothing to say: "Tao Xuzhou, don't worry, and Take a moment to see how my lord, Lu Qingzhou, handles that Cao Cao and vents his anger on you!"

"Report! My lord, according to the report from the detectives, there is movement in the camp of the Cao army outside the city!" Just as Lu Bu Qin Xu and others led the twenty-odd Xiapi officials and Tao Qian and his son into the camp, they were on duty tonight. Cao Xing came to report again: "This time, the movement in Cao's camp is quite strange. The last general dare not be good at it. Should he order the soldiers to strengthen their guard? Please decide, my lord!"

"Not good! Cao Cao sees that the lord has already changed his defense, and he is worried that he will suffer again, so he wants to run away overnight!" Before Lu Bu could speak, Qin Xu took the lead and shouted exaggeratedly: "General Cao, hurry up! Zang Ba and Tai Shici from the Qingzhou Barracks sent their headquarters out of the city to chase after him, don't let Cao Cao go!"

"Uh!..." All the civil and military personnel in Xuzhou looked at Qin Xu, who was replacing Lu Bu, the dignified Qingzhou shepherd, giving orders like Yue Zu, and even some people who didn't know Qin Xu's identity flashed a gloating expression on their faces.You must know that random orders in the army come from the 54 laws and seventeen cuts made by Sun Wu, a master of the art of war since ancient times. What's more, Lu Bu, the righteous master, did not say a word, and Tao Qian's civil and military officials were also there. If the act of exceeding authority is placed among the Xuzhou Danyang soldiers, even if he does not die, he will have to pull out a layer of skin!
"No!" However, the eyeballs of all the civil and military personnel in Xuzhou fell to the ground. Not only did Lu Bu not even blink his eyelids for Qin Xu's actions, but the generals under his command also looked familiar. , Cao Xing didn't even ask Lu Bu for instructions, and just took orders and left.

"Who is this kid?"

"It means that Lu Wenhou has a big heart, if...cough cough!"
