Lu's relatives

Chapter 233 Let Xuzhou die and make a peach blossom oath

Tao Qian fell ill again!When 5000 people entered the Acropolis of Xiapi City and saw the fledgling appearance in the Danyang army camp to which Cao Bao belonged, although Qin Xu had a bad impression of Lao Tao's tricks to plot Qingzhou from time to time, Tao After all, Qian has managed Xuzhou, which was once ravaged by the same yellow scarf, into a rich state capital, wealth and prosperity, and a fertile land that makes the surrounding forces covet. This alone is worth Qin Xu temporarily letting go of his calculations. , calmly faced the [-]-year-old master of Xuzhou.

People say "Feng Tangyi is old, Li Guang is hard to seal!", Lao Tao is actually quite unlucky!
When he was young and filial and honest, it was the time when his relatives and eunuchs were fighting for power the most intensely. The emperor kept changing like a revolving lantern. When a young man became an official in the court, he happened to catch up with the disaster of the party. Almost all educated people were implicated, and there were countless victims for no reason. However, Nian Jiangshan was devastated by the Yellow Turban Rebellion that spread almost to the whole territory, but this time, Tao Qian seized the opportunity and took advantage of the time when Yizhou, who had bad intentions and only wanted to have the emperor's air, Liu Yan, who served as governor of Jizhou, wrote a letter to persuade the emperor to take the post of governor of the state. Lao Tao was considered to have sprouted from an old tree. Xuzhou Mu jobs.

But in five years, Tao Qian can be said to have worked hard for this Xuzhou.Recruiting Danyang soldiers to protect the environment, persuading farmers to promote business to enrich the people, clearing up the Yellow Turbans, and conquests from all directions, it was very difficult to govern Xuzhou into what it is today.Tao Qian, who has seen through the troubles of the world, originally thought that when the great Han Dynasty was about to die, he would leave an iron bucket-like foundation for his two useless sons.Unexpectedly, in this world, as early as ten years ago before the Yellow Turban chaos, there was already a chaos of upside-down ethics and collapse of rituals and music. Although Hengzhi Cehe is known as the best soldiers in the world, he does not have a state army with good generals. In this world where even the emperor has been regarded as private property by Dong Zhuo and Li Jue and Guo Si successively, it is really difficult to keep his foundation. Confused, but also naive.

Even so, it still cannot be denied that whether it is the strategic vision of quitting in time to compete for the muddy waters of Qingzhou, the strategy of spending huge sums of money to link forces around Xuzhou, and the ultimate calculation to protect Xuzhou, even if it is now defeated He wanted to mess with Qingzhou but was suppressed by Qingzhou, and he wanted to hand over to Yanzhou but was bullied by Yanzhou. Even a bereaved dog like Yuan Shu dared to come to Xuzhou to "borrow food" when he was chased and fled. He got mixed up in the matter, but Tao Qian can still be regarded as a hero for a while, but he just happened at the wrong time.

"Tao Xuzhou!" Looking at Tao Qian who was lying on the marching platform, his head was tightly tied with a white cloth to relieve the pain, his hair was haggard and messy, his lips were pale and chapped, his face was sallow without a trace of blood, except for the accumulation of depression under his cheeks There was a glaring flush, and his originally rich figure was already emaciated, like a candle in the wind. Qin Xu originally planned to fight this old Tao after forcing Yuan Shu away. Nothing can make this old thief live too comfortably, but seeing Tao Qian already looks like this, Qin Xu can't think of it anymore.

"General Qin, since you are here, Yuan Shu must have fallen into your scheme and hated Tao to the bone, right?" The old thief said something, but Tao Qian struggled to sit up with the support of Qin Xu and Cao Bao after seeing Qin Xu who was brought in by Cao Bao with a rather sad expression. A pair of old eyes, with deep and inexplicable gaze, stared at Qin Xu for a long time, and said slowly.

"Tao Xuzhou, don't talk too much, don't think too much, taking care of your health is the most important thing. Right now Yuan Shu has retreated, Xuzhou has no war, and Qin will go back to Qingzhou soon." Qin Xu had a faint smile on his face , without the slightest timidity, looked into Tao Qian's eyes and said.Although Qin Xu and Lu Bu have always had the same thoughts as Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others, wanting to take Xuzhou, a rich place, as their own, it is actually not the best time. Lu Bu and Qin Xu have argued more than once However, the current situation in Qingzhou is unstable, rather than being blamed by other forces for occupying Xuzhou, it would be better to let Tao Qian act as a shield.Right now, the Qingzhou soldiers have the final say on the defense of Xiapi City, the seat of the Xuzhou government, and the Chen family father and son, who are in charge of government affairs and civil affairs, also have the intention to surrender, and one-third of the Danyang soldiers are occupied by Lu Bu's cheap old man Cao Bao, let alone He has already taken refuge in Qingzhou's Mi family who is in charge of Xuzhou's money bag.Moreover, the purpose of Qin Xu's visit this time has always been to try to get Tao Qian to dispel the pursuit of Kan Xuan's looting of military assets and grains hidden in Xuzhou and Qingzhou's possession of them. Some people in the province always use this matter to do The article, taking advantage of the severe drought in the Central Plains, always wants to calculate Qing and Xu Erzhou to fight each other to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Qin Xu was able to stabilize Cao Cao in Yanzhou who was trapped by the war in Chang'an with [-] shi before, but he can't guarantee It is still possible to use such a small price to settle the envoy of Jizhou, which has been kept by Lu Buliang until now.Therefore, to resolve the Xuzhou matter as soon as possible and ensure the stability and "obedience" of Xuzhou is actually Qin Xu's ultimate goal.

"It seems that Tao is really old! General Qin is not coming this year, is it?" After all, Tao Qian was seriously ill and weak, and couldn't bear to sit for a long time. After looking at Qin Xu for a long time, he didn't realize that Qin Xu listened to him There was something strange, and he leaned tiredly on the long pillow, closed his eyes, and suddenly chatted with Qin Xu about homework.

"It will be eighteen at the end of the year!" Someone Qin said nonsense with his eyes open.Including the 30 years in the previous life, Qin Xu's "actual" age is not much younger than Tao Qian, but who told Director Qin in his previous life to come to the end of Han Dynasty, the original owner of this body was so young? It's not like he lied to Tao Qian.

"When I was as old as General Qin, I was still playing around in the countryside. I was ashamed of playing, so I worked hard to learn. I was valued by my father-in-law, Cangwu Prefect Gan Gong. Lang, transferred to Shu county magistrate, Lu county magistrate, later moved to Youzhou governor, recruited to pay homage to Yilang, because of his military achievements, he became the captain of Yangwu, moved to Xuzhou governor, and later led Xuzhou animal husbandry. Speaking of General Qin, on this matter, But it’s the same experience as the old man.” Tao Qian closed his eyes and smiled, as if the person sitting in front of him was not the Qin who often made Lao Tao want to strangle him to death, but rather his own nephew who had the leisure to say Bring up the past.

"It's an honor for Qin to be able to have the same experience as Tao Xuzhou." Qin Xu really didn't understand what this old Tao wanted to do, and why he suddenly got involved in it, but seeing Tao Qian's picture always It is possible that the appearance of the "past" can only temporarily suppress the doubts in my heart, and echoed.

"Speaking of which, this old man has been ashamed of his dead wife for a long time. At the beginning, Mr. Yue Gang helped me a lot, but Tao did little to benefit his wife and family. I am extremely ashamed!" Tao Qian seemed to ignore Qin Xu at all. Feeling puzzled, he said to himself: "On this point, Tao is not as good as General Qin. Presumably when he returns from Xuzhou this time, Lu Qingzhou should preside over the wedding for General Qin, right?"

"This... probably?" Qin Xu was getting more and more confused by Tao Qian, and turned his questioning gaze to Cao Bao, who was waiting beside him.But to Qin Xu's disappointment, Cao Bao was also startled by Tao Qian's sudden change of temper, and secretly shook his head at his son-in-law, Qin, so that Qin Xu could only nod along with Tao Qian and said .

"Heh, Tao is old and talkative, but he has forgotten that General Qin doesn't like to listen to such nonsense from such a bad old man. Maybe General Qin, you have longed for Tao to die for a long time, right?" Tao Qian closed his eyes. eyes, but seemed to have noticed Qin Xu's actions just now, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, before Qin Xu could explain, he said with a light smile: "That's all, it's already this time, what else can Tao do?" I don’t care about it. Maybe time is running out, let’s talk about something serious, I believe you can’t hide it from General Qin, the thing that Tao said during the day that he will let Xuzhou’s documents be listed, is actually a lie, Tao is thinking about scheming Where are Lu Bu and General Qin in Qingzhou, you son-in-law?"

"Tao Xuzhou has always been witty, so Qin can save it! Speaking of which, Qin also likes to ask Tao Xuzhou about these methods, and he has really benefited a lot! I think Tao Xuzhou has hated Qin for a long time, and it is time for him to take care of himself. , Qin will discuss with you again after Tao Xuzhou recovers!" Seeing that Tao Qian's aura is getting weaker and weaker, but he is still holding on to say these words, Qin Xu is not in the mood to argue any more now, so he conveniently Tao Qian raised the pillow a bit higher, and said tactfully as Tao Qian said.

"The biggest difference between General Qin and Tao is that they are too soft-hearted!" Tao Qian seemed to be taken aback by Qin Xu's actions. After holding his breath for a long time, he suddenly said such an endless sentence, and sighed: " How can I not know how Tao is? It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are good, and when a bird is about to die, his song is also sad. Can General Qin agree to Tao's small request? Don't worry, Master Qin, this matter has nothing to do The matter of Qingzhou and Xuzhou is just my last wish of a dying old man, of course, if Master Qin is not at ease, there is no need to agree."

"If Tao Xuzhou has something to explain, Qin can invite the eldest son or the second son to come." Just kidding, although Tao Qian's current dying appearance makes Qin Xu feel a little sad for hurting him, but for him Tao Qian, an old fox, had to be wary of every word, but it was a matter of common sense. Seeing that Tao Qian refused to say anything clearly, he asked himself to agree, Qin Xu would not be fooled by anything, said.

"Huh...huh...Qin...General Qin, the old man's request will definitely not embarrass you, General Qin, and there are also, heaven...great benefits." Tao Qian's breathing became heavier and heavier, as if he had already At the last minute it was mediocre.

"General Qin..." After all, he has been a ruler for five years. Seeing that Cao Bao, who is Lv Bu's cheap father-in-law, is also very heartbroken by the current appearance of his lord Tao Qian who has already betrayed him, he also looks at Qin Xu with pleading eyes It seems to be persuading Qin Xu why not agree to it first, after Tao Qian passes away, isn't it all a matter of one thought whether he wants Tao Qian's so-called great benefits at that time?

"Well, Tao Xuzhou, as long as Qin doesn't go against his heart and Qingzhou won't be harmed at all, Qin agrees!" It is too important to pay attention to whether this kind of forced to accept the promise, since it is here, Cao Bao has opened his mouth, and it is not too late to listen to what is going on before making a decision, Qin Xu said.

"Good! Good! Good! Tao believes that General Qin must be the one who keeps his promise!" Tao Qian coughed violently, forced himself to shout three good words, and shouted at the screen behind the couch: "Qian'er, Come out now, the old man was sorry for your aunt that day, and caused the Gan clan to be wiped out in the chaos of war, so that all the descendants of the father-in-law Gan’s lineage were cut off except for you, a weak girl. For more than ten years, I have felt ashamed of myself. When you were a baby, the old man promised to find you a great hero as your husband, and now he has finally fulfilled his wish!"

"What?!" In fact, ever since Tao Qian applauded loudly, Qin Xu had already begun to regret how he was so easily influenced by Cao Bao and persuaded by Tao Qian, and after seeing the screen, a young man walked out. When Fang Erba was a pretty woman, before he even had time to look at the face of this Qian'er, Qin Xu had already screamed out in surprise.Lao Tao is trying to harm someone?When I came to Xuzhou before, I brought back a Mizhen, which already made sister Yan, a dark-bellied beauty, fall into the vinegar vat. Thanks to the old father-in-law Cai Zhonglang's tutoring, and Lu Lingqi had no intention of objecting, nothing happened.But if he brought another one back, and it was the daughter of Tao Qian's wife and family, would there be a fallout?Qin Xu regretted why he didn't bring Lu Lingqi in, it was too embarrassing.

"My lord, this..." Cao Bao was also shocked by Tao Qian's sudden change of scene. Just kidding, Lu Bu's daughter and Qin Xu's wife, Lu Lingqi, are nearby, and Tao Qian is so big and Zhang Zhi Such a marriage was arranged for Qin Xu, and it happened that he "forced" Qin Xu to agree under his own "matchmaking".If Lu Bu found out that he was acting as a matchmaker for his son-in-law Qin Xu in front of his beloved daughter, Cao Bao couldn't guarantee that he would have a higher status in Lu Bu's heart than Lu Lingqi.

"Chang'an is far away, and the emperor is in trouble. There must be many twists and turns. Tao knows that the deadline has come, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to wait for the reply. He has already distributed the copy of the so-called document to Xuzhou and Qin Xu and Qin Zhongming before. The [-] Danyang soldiers seal letter is also here, and Xuzhou will entrust Zhongming in the future!" Tao Qian ignored the strangeness of Cao Bao and Qin Xu, and seemed to be suddenly recovering from his illness. Qin Xu, who was in confusion in his mind, panted and laughed loudly: "There are two sons, and Shang'er is stupid and not a great talent. He has been ordered to guard the family business of Danyang's ancestors. My son is eager to learn, but his mind is deep, and he hopes to be good at seducing him. Now that both of them are Zhongming's younger brothers, I don't have to worry about it! Wanwang Zhongming is not easy to take pity on me. Take care of Tao's two sons, treat Qian'er kindly, and be careful. Xuzhou, be careful of Qingzhou Confucius..."

"My lord!!!"

"Uncle!!!"

"Tao Gong!!!"

Tao Qian, a hero of the generation, hadn't finished speaking when his attempt to stuff Gan Qian's arm into Qin Xu's hand came to an abrupt end, and he lost his breath.There was a cry of mourning in the military tent, but Tao Qian still couldn't close his eyes angrily, until Cao Bao's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at Qin Xu as if begging. Qin Xu, who was born in this era, sighed deeply. When forcibly holding Gan Qian's hand, who didn't look at Qin Xu at all, and had a somewhat stubborn look on her face, Tao Qian seemed to let go of all his thoughts, and actually closed his eyes slowly.
