Xi Zhicai thought it was right. At this time, in Xia Pi City, thousands of miles away, Tao Qian was stroking his gray beard and lowering his head to think.?                                                                                                          �

"Come!"

A servant walked in outside the door: "What are the instructions of sir?"

"Call me and come here!"

"Here!"

What Tao Qian said about the difference is naturally that Xuzhou will not be the difference.

Tao Qian was not a local person in Xuzhou, but a native of Danyang, Yangzhou. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many clans, and almost all prefectures and counties had large and deep roots.

These families that have been passed down for hundreds of years are all local nominal emperors. If foreign officials pose a threat to their family's interests, they may be injured if they fight each other.

Therefore, such officials generally use two methods to quickly integrate into the local area and take over the power. One is to use the power of thunder and iron-blooded power to sweep away the local gentry and powerful forces, quickly build their own forces, and establish themselves in the local area; the second is the method of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, to make friends with some local gentry and suppress another part of the gentry, and thus establish themselves in the local area.

Tao Qian's method is similar to Liu Biao's method. As soon as he entered Xuzhou, Tao Qian's eyes turned to the local wealthy businessman Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu became famous in Xuzhou not only because of his billions of family resources, but also because of a magical thing that he had born into him.

It is said that when Mi Zhu was young, he returned from a long journey and saw a woman curled up next to her side on the side of a deserted road. He felt very pitiful. Seeing that she was dressed in torn clothes and was lonely, Mi Zhu felt unbearable. He carried her forward with her frame for more than twenty miles. The woman thanked her. Before leaving, the woman suddenly changed her hunchback and said to Mi Zhu: "I am the Lord of Fire Destiny. Now I am the Lord of Fire Destiny. I will go to the East Sea to burn your family. I feel that you are a virtuous person, so I talk to each other!"

Mi Zhu was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly begged privately.

The woman shook her head: "The destiny of heaven is like this, and I have to burn it. Since this is the case, you can go back, and I should go slowly. Remember, it is a fire in the middle of the day!"

When Mi Zhu heard this, he thanked him repeatedly, and then returned quickly. After arriving at home, Mi Zhu asked him to move out of the mansion. All the items were moved out. It was at midday. Fireworks suddenly appeared in the house and spread throughout the mansion. The large goods burned for a day and a night before they gradually went out.

Since then, Mi Zhu has done good deeds and is well-known.

After Tao Qian came to Xuzhou, he appointed Mi Zhu as the leader of Xuzhou; and Mi Zhu also reciprocated his favor and strongly supported Tao Qian and recruited troops to stabilize the situation in Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu not only has strong financial assistance, but also has political capabilities that ordinary people cannot match. This makes Tao Qian look at Mi Zhu in a different way and regards him as a confidant minister.

Perhaps because he is older, Tao Qian's temperament is far less decisive than when he was young. Tao Qian really can't make any decision on the imperial edict.

After a while, Mi Zhu, who was slightly fat, stepped in and bowed to Tao Qian and said, "What's the matter with me, sir?"

"Oh, Zizhong is here, sit down!"

Tao Qian first called Mi Zhu to sit down, and then handed the imperial edict on the table to Mi Zhu: "Zi Zhong, look!"

Mi Zhu received the imperial edict and read in a deep voice:

"The emperor ordered the emperor to follow the will of heaven and said:

Now that the four directions are now settled, the war is destroyed and the soldiers are stopped. It is the time when all the destruction is waiting for development! Yuan Shao, Bohai, ignorantly raised troops and pacified the generals, is a disobedient in the world! I heard that Mr. Tao is very righteous, and I am very relieved, so I want to order the soldiers of Xuzhou to rush north to punish Yuan Shao, and not to let my wishes down! I admire this."

"The Northern Expedition of Yuan Shao?" Mi Zhu frowned and thought.

When Tao Qian saw Mi Zhu looking at the imperial edict, he couldn't help but say, "What's the matter with the battle in the north and my Xuzhou? What's more, there is Qingzhou in the north of Xuzhou, Zi Zhong, what does this imperial edict mean?"

After a little thought, Mi Zhu understood the mystery: This is not the imperial edict of Your Majesty, it must be Guan Yan's meaning.

Jizhou is Guan Yan's territory. Now that Yuan Shao has sent troops to attack, Jizhou is in danger, and Guan Yan's clone is unable to go to rescue Jizhou at all.

The governor of Qingzhou Tian Kai was a subordinate of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou. Gongsun Zan was also involved in this attack on Jizhou, so Qingzhou would definitely not send troops to help, so Guan Yan put his ideas on Xuzhou. First, Tao Qian was absolutely loyal to the Emperor of Han. Guan Yan ordered Tao Qian to go to war in the name of Emperor Han, and Tao Qian could not refuse; second, Guan Yan had a good relationship with him, so Guan Yan knew that he was a very different person in Xuzhou and would definitely help him.

This Guan Yan made a wishful thinking!

Thinking of this, Mi Zhu couldn't help but smile and put down the imperial edict in his hand.

Seeing Mi Zhu smile, Tao Qian asked hurriedly, "Zi Zhong, do you have a good idea?"

Mi Zhu naturally couldn't say: This is Guan Yan who wanted to use you as a gun! Mi Zhu intended to help Guan Yan, but he did not want Tao Qian to suffer a great loss. So Mi Zhu had a plan: "Sir, your majesty's intention is just to lift the siege of Jizhou, and he did not ask us to help Jizhou. Retreat Yuan Shao. Gu Zhu had a plan, maybe it would be possible!"

"Oh? Zizhong said it!"

Mi Zhu leaned forward and preached in Tao Qian's ears. Tao Qian was smiling and cheering loudly.

Thirty miles southeast of Yecheng, there is a place called Tangwan. Although the place name is "wan", there is no water source. The north is already water-deficient and windy, and this "Tangwan" is extremely barren. This name may be the desire of the locals for water sources.

Yuan Shao's 30,000 troops were stationed here. Logically speaking, the army should have chosen a location that is easy to defend but difficult to attack and sufficient water sources. However, Yuan Shao predicted that this battle was a victory, so he did not station the army according to common sense. He chose this open and waterless area so that the troops could rush to Yecheng at any time.

Isn’t anyone dissuading this arrangement? Of course, there is one, the one who opposes the most fiercely is a counselor recently recruited by Yuan Shao.

This man's surname is Tian, ​​his name is Feng, his courtesy name is Yuanhao, and he is from Julu. He was originally a minor official in a county and was unsuccessful because of his integrity. Later, he heard that Yuan Shao, who was the third generation of the fourth generation, recruited talents in Bohai, so Tian Feng abandoned his official position and liked each other.

Seeing that he spoke extraordinary and thoughts were like a tide, Yuan Shao stayed with him and served as the chief of the chief.

Tian Feng was straightforward and said everything in a straightforward manner, often making Yuan Shao unable to come to Taiwan. At first, in order to show respect for the wise and humble, Yuan Shao never disputed Tian Feng on the surface, but he was already very annoyed.

A few days ago, Yuan Shao ordered camping in Tangwan. As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Feng refused and even said "If camping here, you will be defeated in the battle." Yuan Shao was furious and dragged Tian Feng down and killed him for the crime of "disturbing the morale of the army."

After everyone was comforted and pleaded, Tian Feng's life was held, but the death penalty was avoided, and the crime of living could not be escaped! Yuan Shao asked someone to beat Tian Feng's twenty military sticks, and then the matter ended.

In Yuan Shao's eyes, the twenty military sticks were nothing. They had already given Tian Feng a fire path, but Tian Feng was just a scholar, so how could he compare with the soldiers in the camp?

After the twenty army was beaten, Tian Feng was unconscious for a day and a night, and walked away from the gate of hell before slowly awakening. Yuan Shao felt that the punishment was indeed a bit heavy, so he asked someone to take good care of Tian Feng. After dozens of days of conditioning, Tian Feng could barely get down to the ground and walk around.

On this day, Tian Feng, as usual, was helping his followers and wandering around the camp.

Suddenly, a soldier ran in from outside the camp in panic, bowed to Tian Feng, and hurriedly walked towards Yuan Shao's camp.

Tian Feng felt something big happened, so he hurriedly called the soldiers: "Why are you so in a hurry without hiding it?"

The soldier wiped his forehead and replied, "Master, the spy came to report: Tao Qian from Xuzhou suddenly had 10,000 soldiers and headed straight towards the Bohai Sea!"

"Let's go to Bohai?" Tian Feng frowned: "How do you know that Tao Qian is against Bohai soldiers?"

"All the expeditions were issued, look!" As he said that, the soldiers took out a notice from their arms and handed it to Tian Feng.

Tian Feng endured the severe pain in his back, opened the notice, and read it briefly, feeling uneasy.

After pondering for a while, Tian Feng said word by word: "This must be Guan Yan's plan!"

"Tell me this matter, and I told my lord to go, there is nothing you have to do, you can go down!"

The soldiers were a little worried: "This..."

Seeing the soldiers sucking and spitting, Tian Feng frowned and said, "What, are you worried?"

"The villain dares not, the villain dares not!" The soldiers accused them repeatedly, and then walked out of the camp to work.

Seeing the soldiers walking away, Tian Feng handed the notice in his hand to the servant beside him and said with a calm face: "Chao this notice immediately, Wan Mo will leak the news!"

"Master, is it burned?"

Tian Feng nodded: "It's burned! You must not know about this matter by your lord, otherwise everything will be over!"

The servant has been following Tian Feng for many years. Seeing Tian Feng like this, it must be a big deal. So he didn't ask much at the moment, and the servant turned his head suddenly and wanted to burn the notice.

As soon as the servant turned his head, he collided with someone with a strong heart.

"Oh hey!" The two of them wailed and fell to the ground.

"Do you have eyes?"

The servant saw clearly that it was Guo Tu, another adviser under Yuan Shao, and hurriedly claimed the crime: "The villain knows his mistake, but the villain knows his mistake!"

Guo Tu seemed to be hurt by being hit, and the two beards on her upper lip were so painful that they were thrusting.

"What are you rushing to go? How can you be so abrupt and reckless in the camp..." Guo Tu suddenly stopped scolding, staring at the notice that fell to the ground with his eyes shining.

Guo Tu hurriedly patted the dust on his butt, picked up the notice on the ground and looked at it seriously.

Seeing this, Tian Feng closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and said softly: "The big thing is over!"

"Hehe!" After reading the notice, Guo Tu glanced at Tian Feng standing with his eyes closed, and said coldly: "Mr. Yuanhao, I just heard that you wanted to burn this notice?"

With a glimmer of hope, Tian Feng hurriedly explained: "Public rule, this matter..."

Guo Tu waved his hand and interrupted Tian Feng, sternly saying: "Tian Yuanhao, you should report to your lord such a major event. Why do you burn it out without saying anything? Humph, wait until I report to your lord, and then convict you!"
