Chapter two hundred and eighteen trouble
Deputy Director Tao and Boss Cao actually have many similarities. They are both cunning and treacherous, cruel and lustful, and are also free and easy and careless, and hate useless red tape. Therefore, after the Cao Tao and the two families are truly determined to abandon their past grudges and join forces to cooperate, Tao
The deputy director and Boss Cao simply didn't bother to write a marriage agreement, let alone pay tribute to the alliance and the three animals. They just slapped the high fives and made a verbal agreement.
The hostages that each other must not give up, and eliminate the possibility of sneak attacks that both sides fight undeclaredly. When it is really necessary to take action, they must exchange the hostages first. It is the gentleman between Deputy Director Tao and Boss Cao, the despicable villain.
The agreement is also the basis for the cooperation between Tao and Cao's army to trust each other and work together.
After finalizing this agreement, Deputy Director Tao and Boss Cao broke up on the day of the talks. Boss Cao brought Guo Jia and Xiahou Yuan and other original teams back to Xuchang, while Deputy Director Tao brought Cao Ang and Xiahou Juan back to Xuzhou.
Boss Cao even forced Xiahou Juan as his adopted daughter, promising to wait until Xiahou Juan is thirteen years old, he will be allowed to be a side room for Deputy Director Tao to strengthen the connection between Cao Tao and Tao families, and by the way, he will be the father-in-law, nemesis Tao.
The deputy director has a long wish - his wish to be a son-in-law for Boss Cao.
"When Brother Ying comes, after returning to Xuzhou, he will explain the situation to his brother clearly, and then ask his brother to come to Xuchang to accompany him. This may take some time, but please don't worry, Chen Dao and Xu Huang's team will be immediately
Withdraw from Yanzhou." This is the apologetic explanation of Deputy Director Tao, who was not prepared.
"Don't worry, I have trusted the envoy. Although the envoy's envoy's tricks are endless, they always do what they say and promise a thousand gold." This is Boss Cao's free and easy reply.
In order to deceive more people and facilitate demolition, Deputy Director Tao has always paid great attention to his credibility. So after returning to Xuzhou, Deputy Director Tao's first thing was to visit his brother and report to Tao merchants with tears in his eyes
I have already promised to hand over my brother as a hostage to Lao Da, and kowtowed to my brother to apologize to his elder brother. However, Tao Shang, the good brother of Deputy Director Tao, is indeed a kind person. I heard from my brother that Lao Da Da had already given his elder son.
After Cao Ang sent him to Xuzhou as a hostage, he immediately said with a smile: "Cao Ang is the same generation as you and my brothers. Since he is not afraid of danger, he can come to Xuzhou as a hostage. Can you still lose to him for your brother? You don't have to make things difficult for your brother.
That's it, Xuchang, and my brother had long thought of bowing in front of the emperor and bowing to me, and he had just finished the courtesy of my Tao family."
With the support of his reasonable good brother, a series of earth-shaking news broke out between Deputy Director Tao and Boss Cao, who once fought to the death. One was more amazing, and one was more shocking.
I found it unbelievable. First, the Xuzhou army voluntarily withdrew its troops from Yanzhou and unconditionally withdrew its land in Yanzhou. Then both sides jointly reduced the border troops. Xiaopei and Hulu, which had once stationed heavy troops on both sides, also opened border cities outside the city.
, allowing the people of Xu and Yanzhou to pass freely and trade at will. The head tax and carriage tax for passing business travelers were also abolished, and the goods tax was also uniformly stipulated as the lowest 30 taxes in this era. The result was not only the Xu and Yanzhou states.
The people and businessmen cheered and made Xiaopei and Hulu quickly prosperous and prosperous.
The next amazing news is that Cao Boss made a mistake in medicine and actually committed suicide by killing his father's enemy Tao Qian as the censor. He summoned Tao Shang to the court as an official with the reputation of Emperor Xian of Han, making Tao Shang the old Tao family
The first three important officials, Tao Shang himself, also happily obeyed the orders in the surprised eyes of the people of Xu Yan, and led his wife and children to Xuchang to the court to accompany him. At the same time, only a few interested people knew about another important situation, in fact, before that.
The eldest son and legitimate son Cao Ang had already escaped to Xuzhou for no reason and was appointed as the prime minister of Pengcheng by Deputy Director Tao, and helped Chen Deng to act as the government affairs of Pengcheng.
By the way, during this period, Cao Boss and Cao Ang also gained an unexpected surprise, that is, Deputy Director Tao actually asked Cao Ang to participate in Pengcheng's military farming affairs without any hesitation, and also let Cao Ang contact the five counties in Xuzhou in terms of agriculture.
When Cao Ang, a hostage, asked to avoid these secrets carefully, Deputy Director Tao said more generously: "It doesn't matter, I learned to take it back to Yanzhou. I will do wheat bean interplantation and
Earthworm breeding is to benefit the people of the world, not to be selfish. If these methods of increasing income in grain can help the people of Yanzhou, it will also fulfill my wish." Cao Ang bowed to Deputy Director Tao repeatedly, and admired this more and more than himself.
A brother who is one year older.
Even more shocking news is still behind. When the Tao merchant arrived in Xuchang and was appointed as the censor, the first thing he did when he took office was to submit a letter to his brother, Tao Ying, the rebel Liu Bei, impeached the six major crimes of the thief of the country, and requested Emperor Xian of Han to issue them.
The imperial edict ordered the princes of the world to attack Liu Bei, and also asked Liu Biao, who took Liu Bei, to hand over the traitor and rebel, and to be punished and investigated in Xuchang, otherwise he would be the same as Liu Bei!
It was supposed to go to Xuzhou to enjoy the blessing, but because of the interception of Uncle Liu's halfway, he caused himself to come to Xuchang to suffer losses and suffer. He was merciless in everything and was like a puppet. Emperor Xian of Han naturally hated Uncle Baiqi to death.
, When he met with the virtuous and loyal minister of the long-awaited Deputy Director Tao, he submitted an impeachment. He also saw that Cao also echoed the major charges of Emperor Liu's uncle, and "please" him issue an edict to fight against the thief. Emperor Xian of Han rarely issued an edict from the heart.
Once, with the reputation of the Emperor of Han, he issued an order to order all the princes in the world to raise an army to attack Liu Huangshu!
With the fig leaf of Emperor Xian of Han, Deputy Director Tao rarely stood up in front of his father-in-law, Da Yuan Sangong, and spoke. When Da Yuan Sangong sent an envoy to condemn him for his private withdrawal from Yanzhou, Deputy Director Tao immediately took it.
He issued the imperial edict from Emperor Xian of Han as a shield, and insisted that he was supporting Cao to attack the traitor Liu Bei, so he retreated from Yanzhou without asking his father-in-law. In fact, he did not have the intention of disobedience to go against his father-in-law's will.
In addition, Deputy Director Tao naturally had to write to his father-in-law to explain the reasons, listing the crimes of Liu Huangshu colluding with Xuzhou and attempting to annex Xuzhou, betrayed Boss Cao, colluding with the atrocities of the Yellow Turban thieves to invade Huainan, and colluding with Gongsun Zan to rebel thieves.
The evil beastly behavior was planned, and he urged his father-in-law to restrain his brother-in-law Yuan Tan, and ordered the Jizhou army to withdraw from Yanzhou to support Cao in the attack on Liu Huangshu, and cut off Gongsun Zan's iron wings to prevent Liu Huangshu from threatening the interests of his father-in-law - although Liu Huangshu was
The saying that Nanyang can threaten Jizhou is a bit outrageous, but our Deputy Director Tao still said it shamelessly.
It can be imagined that the old man Yuan San, who has not had Alzheimer's disease, learned that Boss Cao and Deputy Director Tao exchanged hostages, and then saw Deputy Director Tao's extremely shameless letter, what would the anger in his heart be like.
High, in short, after tearing the letter to pieces, the Grand Duke of Yuan raised the case in front of him by more than ten feet high, but the Grand Duke of Yuan still refused to relieve himself. He jumped up again and roared like thunder, "Ignorance and righteousness."
Little beast! Little bastard who repays his kindness with grudge! Shameless dog thing! I am so blind. How could I marry my daughter to you, an unfilial dog thing?!"
"Lord, now you should see clearly the character of Tao Ying's traitor?" Mr. Guo Tu of the Prince of Yuan Tan naturally would not miss the opportunity to beat the dog in the water. He immediately stood up and stirred up the flames and said, "Tao Ying's traitor has been repeatedly used to make trouble before.
Flattering in front of the lord is just to use his reputation to protect him. In fact, there is no respect for the lord in his heart. Now that his wings are hard, he will no longer take the lord seriously. If the lord does not punish him severely, he will not take the lord seriously.
This ungrateful traitor is afraid that all the princes in the world will be like pottery thieves and will not take the lord seriously."
"Shameless man, a treacherous thief, I swear to kill you! I swear to kill you!" The Grand Duke of Yuan roared again, "Send troops! Send troops to Xuzhou immediately! Take this shameless thief to me, and cut it into pieces with thousands of swords.
, Lingchi executed!”
This time, Mr. Yuan Shang, Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others dared not say anything, and they all lowered their heads to their arms, for fear that the Grand Duke of Yuan Sanqing would remember the past and settle the old accounts, but they had encouraged Grand Duke of Yuan Sanqing to drive the Tao Cao family.
Xun Chen, who had been fired, stood up and bowed easily and said, "My lord, please calm down. Tao Ying's move is just unwilling to waste with Cao's fire. Although he also disrespects him to the lord, he
The original intention is just for self-protection, which is not surprising. The lord also asks to temporarily stop the anger of thunder and never act impulsively. It is a waste of national strength by raising a sword and consuming national strength. You must act cautiously."
"What does Mr. Youruo mean?" Guo Tu asked in surprise: "The Tao thief is disrespectful to his lord, and he sends troops to attack him and severely punish him. How is it considered impulsive to act? So what is the waste of national strength?"
"Mr. Gongze insists on trying to persuade his lord to send troops?" Xun Chen asked without hesitation, and sneered, "If Mr. Gongze insists on this, then Chen does not object. Just ask Mr. Gongze, the lord's main force has already gone north to Youzhou.
Now we are going to send troops to attack Xuzhou to capture the pottery thieves. Where does the soldiers come from? Where does the grain come from? Does Mr. Gongze have the ability to sprinkle beans into soldiers? If he sprinkles a handful of beans out, he can transform the lord into a lord.
Thousands of soldiers?"
Guo Tu was speechless for a moment, but he quickly retorted: "It is true that our main force has indeed gone north, but our army still has certain troops on the southern line, so we can still capture some Xuzhou cities as a foothold for attacking the entire Xuzhou area.
,When our army's main force wiped out Gongsun Zan and returned to the southern front, and then wanted to capture the entire Xuzhou area, wouldn't it be easy to get back to the front?"
"If Mr. Gongze hopes that the two thieves of Cao and Tao will unite more closely and work together to fight against the lord, then do so." Xun Chen said coldly: "Cao Cao and Tao Ying were once irreconcilable. The reason why
Abandoning past grudges and working together is because we are afraid of consuming each other's strength and letting our army reap profits. In the future, our main force of our army will not be able to compete with our army even if they join forces. Therefore, they exchange hostages and work together. If Mr. Gongze advises his lord to send troops again
If you attack the pottery thieves, then these two traitors have no choice but to unite more tightly, collude more deeply, and join forces to fight against the lord's army!"
"Lord, Mr. Youruo's words are reasonable." Tian Feng also stood up and advised: "Tao Ying, Cao Cao and the two thieves had a deep grudge. They abandoned their past grudges and worked together to cooperate with each other. They were just afraid of the threat of the lord and were forced to work together to protect themselves. In this way, the alliance was
, if urgent, they will rescue each other, and if slow, they will fight each other. The lord sent troops to attack the crime will only backfire, making the two thieves more closely united. It is better to be with the two thieves to temporarily accept the excuse of the pottery thieves and wait until Gongsun Zan is pacified.
It’s not too late to free up your hands to discuss the issue of sending troops.”
"Mr. Tian Feng and Mr. Xun Chen are right." Ju Su also advised: "The two thieves in Tao and Cao are in harmony and are unparalleled in their appearance. The lord sent troops to attack the crime at this moment. The new alliance of the two thieves will inevitably join hands to fight against our army. It is better to be patient for the time being.
It is not too late to try to break up the alliance between the two thieves, so that the two thieves hate each other, and the alliance collapses, and then defeat them one by one."
The three-president of Yuan Yuan is notoriously soft, and Gongsun Zan's centipede's insect died but was not stagnant. The black mountain bandit Zhang Yan has also shown signs of clown jumping again recently. At present, he cannot put his main force into the southern line, so I heard it
After the persuasion of these capable advisers stopped them, the Three Duke of Yuan could not help but hesitate, and his previous anger began to dissolve.
Unfortunately, there were several mortal enemies of Deputy Director Tao. In order to seize this opportunity to make Da Yuan Sangong and Deputy Director Tao completely turn against each other, Xin Ping stood up again and bowed to Da Yuan Sangong and said, "Lord,
What Mr. Ju Su said was very true. Tao Ying and Cao Cao and the two thieves who were both in appearance and were extremely treacherous. The alliance they signed was completely vulnerable and could easily be cracked and interfered with."
"According to his opinion, the lord is better to ask the eldest son to withdraw his troops from Mount Tai and move his troops to attack Langya. When Cao's thief saw that his lord was definitely relieved and dared not violate his lord's power again. Tao Ying's thief even asked Cao's thief for help. Cao's thief.
He would inevitably refuse to send troops to help. In this way, the so-called alliance between the two thieves of Tao and Cao will also be a bird."
"Lord, Mr. Xin Ping is a great plan." Guo Tu took the opportunity to incite: "Lord ordered the eldest son to attack Langya, and the Tao thieves would ask Cao thieves for help. Because Cao thieves were selfish, they would definitely not send troops to help. The two thieves would not be willing to send troops to help.
The alliance will be defeated without attacking!"
"Mr. Guo Tu, Mr. Xin Ping, are you crazy?" Tian Feng said furiously: "Not whether the Cao thief sent troops to provide assistance, just say that the Tao thief is currently on the northern front. Our army attacked him with a partial army.
That would be a humiliation of oneself and there is no chance of winning!"
The face of the Grand Duke Yuan San immediately became gloomy, and he snorted heavily, saying, "Take your own humiliation? Can Xuzhou soldiers and horses be compared with my Jizhou army?"
"Lord said this very well." Guo Tu quickly echoed: "Xuzhou's soldiers have always been weak, and the soldiers are incompetent. In the battle of the war that year, our army defeated more than 10,000 troops in Xuzhou with only two thousand soldiers.
Later, Cao's bandits led only tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Remnants, and even defeated more than 20 cities in Xuzhou. They defeated tens of thousands of bandit troops in Xuzhou and killed the bodies of bandit troops in the river, but the Si River did not flow! And our Jizhou army was strong and strong.
If the elite is ten times better than the Cao bandits, how can it be easy to attack the Xuzhou bandit army? One is the one that serves ten?"
"Mr. Gongze, don't talk about those old calendars!" Tian Feng was even more angry and said loudly: "The current Xuzhou army can still be compared with the Xuzhou army back then? It's impossible to conquer the camp, the Gentleman Army
Invincible, he has never suffered a defeat since his debut! There is also the Zang Ba team that has truly been controlled by Xuzhou, the Tao thief's hometown soldier Danyang soldiers, which army is easy to match?"
"Why did Mr. Yuan Hao develop ambition and destroy his own might?" Guo Tu smiled and said, "The camp is only about 700 people, and after several rotations, it is no longer as good as before. The gentleman's army is flashy and unreal, and it has never been defeated because they have never lost anything.
I have met northern cavalry and specialized in bullying enemy infantry. Zang Ba's Langya soldiers were mostly from Taishan, Qingzhou, and had no loyalty to Xuzhou. Danyang soldiers were famous for being a single soldier in one dragon, fighting against a group of insects in formation!
I don’t understand, why would Mr. Yuan Hao be afraid of such a mob?"
"Yes, if the Xuzhou thief army is so powerful as Mr. Yuan Hao described, why did Tao Ying traitors use any means to flatter and please the lord? In order to ask the lord to come forward to protect him and not let the thief Cao attack him?" Xin
Ping also asked Tian Feng with a smile.
Tian Feng was speechless because Tian Feng had never seen the current situation of the Xuzhou army with his own eyes. He had to listen to the current situation of the Xuzhou army. In fact, he didn't know much, and because Cao Boss and
The help of good friends such as Uncle Liu, and Deputy Director Tao's deliberate low-key battle with Qingzhou, the Xuzhou army did not encounter a strong enemy, so let alone Tian Feng and Da Yuan Sangong, they are Deputy Director Tao's good brother-in-law Yuan Shang.
Mr. Yuan San didn’t know what the Xuzhou army was like now? What has it grown to where it has grown?
Seeing Tian Feng shut his mouth helplessly, Xin Ping smiled proudly, then shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that the lord treats Tao Ying as a parent-child, and he still marrys his beloved daughter to him. In the end, this traitor
But he saw that he had opened his eyes and ignored his lord for the sake of small profits. He even dared to despise his lord's dignity and used a piece of imperial edict that was like waste paper to deal with the lord..."
"Shut up, stop talking!" The grand Yuan Sangong's anger was finally stirred up by Xin Ping and Guo Tu. He interrupted Xin Ping's fanning flames first, and then said viciously: "We must teach this ungrateful and unfilial dog guy a lesson!
He asked Xiansi to withdraw his troops from Mount Tai and lead his army to attack Langya for 15,000. It is necessary to teach Tao Ying a lesson!"
"No!" Xin Ping and Guo Tu agreed happily.
"Also." After a moment of calculation, the Grand Duke of Yuan ordered: "Send 5,000 more cavalry to Xiansi from Jizhou. The area of Langya is vast and sparsely populated, with few rivers and cities. It is suitable for cavalry combat, so you can also let it go
That unfilial dog guy saw with his own eyes what is the true invincible iron cavalry! Let the dog guy know that his talented gentleman army, his magic weapon, could not even be considered a nonsense in front of my iron cavalry!”
"Lord, the time is probably not right for sending troops at this time?" Xun Chen plucked up his courage and advised: "The alliance between the two thieves of Tao and Cao may not be reliable. If the lord can disintegrate it without bloodshed, it is better to send troops a hundred times directly."
"I have decided, don't say too much!" The Grand Duke of Yuan San waved his hand angrily and said angrily: "If you don't beat this unfilial dog, you will not be obedient!"
Chapter completed!
