The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 509
In June of 196 AD, the second year of Jian'an.

After Liu Bian explained the affairs of Nanyang, he returned to Chang'an with an army of [-]. Of the [-] troops, [-] were Chang'an soldiers and horses, and [-] were the Imperial Forest Army.

After passing through Wuguan Pass and entering Chang'an, Liu Bian stopped in Chang'an first, and at this time, Liu Bian also received the news that Tao Qian died of illness!
Tao Qian, who was supposed to die of illness in 194 A.D., lived two years longer because of Liu Bian's butterfly effect, but he did not escape the torment of illness after all. On a stormy night, he died forever.

Tao Qian entrusted Gu Mi Zhu and Cao Bao to help his eldest son Tao Shang to be the governor of Xuzhou.

Outside the city of Xuzhou, Cao Bao came to look for Zhao Guangyi and Xi Zhicai with a happy face. In a secluded hut by the lake, Xi Zhicai was also dying of illness.

"General Zhao, Tao Qian died of illness, and his son Tao Shang succeeded him. He is just an incompetent person and cannot take charge of Xuzhou. I have long hoped to join Zhao Shijun's command, but I am obliged to do so!" Cao Bao bowed down to Zhao Guangyi to show his loyalty .

It's just that Zhao Guangyi didn't have the heart to deal with this at this time, and Xi Zhicai was about to fail. Zhao Guangyi waved his hand and said, "We'll discuss this matter later. Please, General, invite the best doctor in Xuzhou to come over!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "It's useless, I should have died a long time ago, I have been training for the past year to survive for a while. General Cao, please go out first, I have something to say with the second general!"

Cao Bao nodded and exited the hut, Zhao Guangyi looked at Xi Zhicai and said: "Master, you wait for a while, I will take you back to Yanzhou to see your brother."

"No need, I'm determined... I came to Xuzhou because I didn't want to say goodbye to life and death, so I'm content to find a safe place to leave this world quietly. Before I leave, I have a few things for you to do!" Xi Zhicai said weakly.

"Military division, let's talk."

"The first means to win Xuzhou. Although Tao Qian died, the Tao merchant succeeded to the throne. The Tao merchant was incompetent, but he was not at fault. Although Cao Bao took refuge in us, there was no deep hatred between Yan and Xu. He would not be able to succeed if he directly defected. So we It is necessary to send troops to Xuzhou, and to intimidate Xuzhou with the power of soldiers and horses, then it will be easy for Cao Bao to defect."

Zhao Guangyi asked suspiciously: "But didn't the military adviser say that Yanxu didn't have a deep hatred? In what name did our army send troops?"

"I'll have my name after I die. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive today. After I die, you will bid farewell to the potter in secret and ask him to escort us back. When you kill them halfway, you will say that they are greedy for our property. I was killed by him in the rebellion. The chief counselor of Yanzhou died in Xuzhou, this reason is enough to attack Xuzhou!"

"Military division..." Zhao Guangyi was extremely surprised, and his face was full of grief, he said: "Military division insists on coming to Xuzhou, has this day already been planned?"

Xi Zhicai's pale face slightly hooked, and Xi Zhicai continued without denying it: "Taking Xuzhou is the first thing, now I'm telling you about the great cause of the lord, you must tell the lord!"

After hearing this, Zhao Guangyi was full of solemnity, nodded and said: "Military teacher, please tell me, I will definitely tell my brother verbatim."

"Nowadays, the Son of Heaven is the most powerful in the world. Qingzhou and Youzhou are all under his orders. I have already seen it. Even after the Lord takes Xuzhou, he only occupies the three states of Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, and is far from being able to compete with the Son of Heaven. The emperor's next move should be to deal with Yuan Shao, so the emperor must not be allowed to succeed, let the lord abandon the previous suspicions, and join forces with the princes from all walks of life, as long as he looks for an opportunity for the emperor to lose the game, then the Qingzhou, Youyou's forces It will disintegrate, and then the lord will have a strong chance to compete against the emperor." Xi Zhicai warned.

"Military commander, don't worry, I will remember everything!" Zhao Guangyi nodded and said.

Xi Zhicai closed his eyes wearily, and after a long time whispered: "Leopard is a mediocre person, you can't use him again. And give this letter to the lord!"

Zhao Guangyi nodded and took the letter. The moment he took the letter, Xi Zhicai's arm withered like a tree root limply fell down. Zhao Guangyi was startled and went up to sigh, only to find that Xi Zhicai had lost his breath. .

Zhao Guangyi's expression became much more relaxed, and he opened the letter with his hands. After reading it, Zhao Guangyi looked at Xi Zhicai's body and said coldly: "You are really guarding against me, saying that I am unwilling to be inferior to others and let my brother guard me?"

Zhao Guangyi's expression changed, and he murmured: "Since you have seen my ambition, you will know that I will definitely read the letter. Why do you need to write this letter? It's unnecessary? Could it be that you have already notified your brother that this letter Are you warning me not to act rashly?"

A letter left by Xi Zhicai made Zhao Guangyi suspicious. After thinking for a long time, Zhao Guangyi couldn't think of a reason. It seemed that he had to wait until he returned to Yanzhou to see how Zhao Kuangyin treated him.Immediately Zhao Guangyi removed the hut and conspired with Cao Bao to seize Xuzhou. Cao Bao expressed his full cooperation.

Zhao Guangyi kept secret about the death of Xi Zhicai, so he went to bid farewell to the pottery merchant that night, saying that he had fewer soldiers and asked him to send troops to escort him.

Who would dare to offend Zhao Guangyi in Xuzhou?Now this great god is naturally happy to go to the pottery merchant, so he sent a general with [-] riders to escort Zhao Guangyi back to Yanzhou.

On the way, according to Xi Zhicai's plan, Zhao Guangyi sent Shi Wansui to rob and kill all the soldiers and horses sent by Xuzhou to protect him. Can't be killed.

After returning to Yanzhou, Zhao Guangyi came to see Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin was devastated when he learned of Xi Zhicai's death. Zhao Guangyi told Zhao Kuangyin about Xi Zhicai's dying instructions.Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin had nothing wrong with him except grief, Zhao Guangyi heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that Xi Zhicai did not tell Zhao Kuangyin about his ambition.

A few days later, Zhao Kuangyin came out in grief, and Xi Zhicai worked so hard to win Xuzhou by himself, how could he let him down?Under the cooperation of Cao Bao, Zhao Kuangyin immediately raised [-] troops, attacking Xuzhou in the name of Xi Zhicai's revenge.

When the news spread to Xuzhou, the potters immediately called civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures. Cao Bao went straight to the point and said, "Yanzhou soldiers and horses attacked in a big way, and his chief military officer Xi Zhicai died in our Xuzhou. He hated you Xuzhou so much. Zhao Kuangyin The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, how can we be their opponents, why not surrender as soon as possible."

The pottery merchant looked sad and said: "I just took over the great business from my father, can't everyone work together to help me defend against the enemy?"

"No, we are no match for Yanzhou soldiers and horses, let alone Yanzhou soldiers who are good at fighting and hate us. If we resist, how can we survive when the city is broken?" Cao Bao shook his head and refused to give Tao A glimmer of hope.

The pottery merchant looked desperate. Could it be that Xuzhou is about to change hands before he has settled down for a few days?Even if the potters didn't want to invest, most of the military power was in the hands of Cao Bao, so the potters had nothing to do.

Mi Zhu immediately shouted: "Qingxu's alliance has not been long, you Cao Bao can't resist, and there are Qingzhou soldiers and horses, now you can invite Qingzhou soldiers and horses to resist Zhao Kuangyin."

"Hmph, look at these civil and military forces, who else wants to resist Zhao Kuangyin? Xuzhou can't hold it, so don't waste your efforts. The road to the south of Qingzhou has been blocked by my troops. They don't want to send troops south. The eldest son is still ready to surrender. Let's do it!"

The pottery merchants looked at the crowd of civil and military men, each of them dodged their eyes, and some of them were simply destroyed, and directly asked the pottery merchants to surrender.

This is no discussion, this is clearly a coup d'état!
The pottery merchant sighed and reluctantly accepted this fact.Cao Bao sneered and ordered the potters to be taken away. As for Mi Zhu, Cao Bao could not restrict his freedom. He didn't dare to attack Mi Zhu either.

When Mi Zhu returned home, he found Yu Yunwen's liaison person of the Jinyiwei, and asked, "How is it, Mr. Yu, do you have any news?"

"Don't worry, sir, my military adviser got the news when Xi Zhicai died, and is ready to send troops to meet you." Jin Yiwei comforted.

"I'm afraid it's too late to send troops. Cao Bao has sent soldiers to the north. You can't go south. Even if you attack by force, it will take several days. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin's troops may have already approached the city!" Mi Zhu shook his head and said.

Jin Yiwei smiled and said: "My soldiers and horses don't go on dry roads, but on waterways, why are soldiers and horses stopping them?"

Mi Zhu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in confusion: "There is no big river between Qing and Xu, so where is the waterway to go, sir, don't be joking."

"Yes, there are thousands of miles of waterways in the east of the two states!"

Only then did Mi Zhu come to his senses, and his face turned pale with shock, "Is it possible to go by sea?"

Mi Zhu couldn't digest this news for a while. The sea in this era is still a taboo, even in later generations, it is still impossible to explore some parts of the sea in depth.Even the navy is divided into ranks, some can run rampant in calm lakes, and some can run rampant on swaying rivers.A navy that can run rampant on the Yangtze River is the most powerful navy in the world.

Now Qingzhou actually wants to go by sea, which makes Mi Zhu unbelievable.

"Your Excellency, don't worry. Our Qingzhou navy has been established for many years. It is composed of civilians from the seaside of Donglai County. The place where it was established was trained at sea. It has a lot of knowledge about sea water conditions, wind and waves. Our warships are even taller. It can accommodate hundreds of people without fear of the wind and waves at sea!" Jin Yiwei explained.

However, the sailing of this era is not Liu Bian's family. In history, the Gongsun family of Liaodong sent troops from Liaodong to plunder Donglai and other places.In the late Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan also sent people to Baodao.

It is also entirely feasible for the Qingzhou navy to go south to Xuzhou along the coastline.

Mi Zhu took a deep breath and said in admiration: "It's surprising that Qingzhou has a powerful naval force. Is there any need for my cooperation?"

"The military adviser said that he is only going to pick up and save people. If you have anything to bring, get ready early, as well as the potter, Brother Tao Ying. When the time comes, the military adviser will send someone to send news, and you will rescue them." , when the time comes, we will take you to the sea and go to Qingzhou by water." Jin Yiwei said.

"It's simple. I have tens of thousands of disciples. It's easy to go to the governor's mansion to bring out their young master and brother! Then I'll wait for the news from Army Master Yu! Haha." Mi Zhu laughed loudly.
