Lu's relatives

Chapter 217

Xuzhou, in the city of Xiapi.

Tao Qian, who is already quite old, is taking a trembling walk in the mansion with the support of his eldest son Tao Shang. The old and firm spirit of the past has not appeared in Tao Qian who is the lord of Xuzhou for a long time. pass.The setting sun, which was about to fall, let out the last ray of light, and shone on the father and son who had no similarities in appearance, pulling out long phantom shadows, overlapping with the slow pace of the two.Tao Qian's cloudy eyes are like two muddy springs, quite dull, falling on the eldest son Tao Shang who is reckless and frivolous in the eyes of outsiders, has a reckless temper, and always does stupid things that ruin his own foundation, revealing from time to time There is a kind of regretful and loving color.

"Father, this plan of yours is absolutely perfect. No matter whether Lu Bu sends troops this time or not, the ultimate result will be to split his heart, expand his foundation, and attack from all sides. There is no way to break it. It can be regarded as an insult to my son!" Tao Shang's ugly face was filled with some suppressed joy, he gently supported his father's arm, and seemed to be a little uneasy and whispered: "But Daddy , are you sure that Lu Bu will not send Qin Xu Shuzi to lead the Qingzhou soldiers? Then Qin Xu is Lu Bu's son-in-law, and he has some tricks, and according to the old gentleman, this guy is very trusted by Lu Bu, if... ..."

"Shang'er, you are still too young!" Tao Qian seemed to know that the pottery merchant would ask this question a long time ago, patted the arm of the pottery merchant holding his arm, and said with a bit of wisdom in a wise tone: "Lu Bu What kind of person he is, the world has already made a public opinion. This time, the design of being hidden by the traitor Kanxuan in our capital cannot be taken lightly. If it was in Qingzhou, Qin Xu would have controlled the entire army of Lu Bu, and the name of the flying general has been accumulated for many years With his prestige, Lu Bu may indeed have no doubts about his son-in-law; but if Qin Xu's boy is alone in command of an army no less than the strength of his own when both inside and outside Qingzhou are worried, hmph, it's not for his father. Look down on Lu Bu, he doesn't have that capacity yet!"

"What if..." The pottery merchant still didn't quite understand what Tao Qian meant, and asked hesitantly.

"No chance!" Tao Qian interrupted the potter's speculation without hesitation, and watched the last ray of light in the sky fade away with his hands behind his back. , and absolutely will not allow such a phenomenon that the branches are the same thick, not to mention that Qin Xu is only the son-in-law of that Lu. Son-in-law! Humph! Lu Bu is less than forty years old, and he has recruited Cao Bao and his son-in-law Girl, I will never tolerate Qin Xu getting out of control! As a father, he was not yet blinded, when he broke the siege of Xiapi that day, he could see that these soldiers stationed in Xuzhou and Qingzhou were all arrogant and brave men. It will take time and strict training, and even an elite army that is no less than my Xuzhou Danyang elite, even as a father, will not easily hand it over to anyone, anyone, before he swallows his last breath. People! So, my son really worries too much!"

"Father said it!" I don't know if Tao Qian's words accidentally showed a little bit of murder, but he finally showed his arrogance as the lord of Xuzhou. After hearing Tao Qian's words, the pottery merchant felt uncomfortably low. He shook his head, turned his eyes that didn't know what to think to one side, took Tao Qian's thin arm again, and made a more submissive gesture, and said: "Fortunately, there is a father in Xuzhou. Don't even think about taking a step in my Tao family's Xuzhou. But, father, although Lu Bu was trapped by your clever plan, but Yuan Shu..."

"Yuan Shu only occupies two counties, and his foothold in Yangzhou is not stable. The invasion is only a few remnant soldiers, and his actions are only for some food and military resources. He does not intend to be in Xuzhou Prefecture. It is just a minor problem and nothing to worry about! Disagreement with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, wanting to ally with Gongsun Zan and his father several times, and mortal enemy with Cao Cao in Yanzhou, will never form a deadly enmity with Xuzhou easily, it is very easy to break it, as long as the father's faction can say it Shi Xu can turn an enemy into a friend with a little food and grass..." Tao Qian didn't look at the potter's face, he turned a blind eye to the potter's unnatural movements just now, panted for a while, and said patiently: " Right now Xuzhou is mainly dealing with Qingzhou Lu Bu, other things are nothing more than scabies. Shang Er, you are not young, but your qualifications are only mediocre, and you were humiliated by Qingzhou Qin Xu before, and your military morale is not good. How can you rest assured as a father? I just hope that before you go to the ground, you can clear up some obstacles for your future, so as not to be..."

"Report! My lord! Eldest son! Someone came to report Qingzhou news!" Before Tao Qian finished speaking, he was disturbed by the general who broke in suddenly, sighed softly, and remained silent.

"What's the report, bring it to me!" Tao Qian's words just now seemed to be an account of the funeral, and they were heard by Tao Shang's ears, as if he didn't rely on the sound of nature. I also feel sad when Tao Qian is about to run out of oil and lamps, but just now Tao Qian's use of Lv Bu will let Qin Xu lead the army alone, and then extended the ruthless art of mastering others However, it was just right for the potter's appetite, and this kind of worry about Tao Qian's situation at this time has also faded a lot. Tao Qian, who was listening as if he knew Xuzhou's future well, seemed to have something important to explain, but he was beaten by this scout. Cut off, seeing Tao Qian lost his ability to talk, how can the potter not be angry.

"No!" The general of the Tao family also knows a thing or two about the frequent moodiness of the Tao family father and son recently. Silk, leaping over the potter who had already stretched out his hand, ran to Tao Qian in small steps.

"Well, Shang'er, you can read it to Weifu!" Tao Qian didn't take the silk, and motioned for the family to pass it to the pottery merchant, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Let Weifu also read it!" I know exactly how Lu Qingzhou, who is known as the world's tiger, broke this situation!"

"Yes, father!" The pottery merchant gave the famous general a hard look, snatched the silk that the general had bent over his head, shook it angrily, and before the general retreated, he read aloud: "Qingzhou Mulu, Qin has been entrusted with the seal of General Fenwu to lead Qingzhou soldiers, and he will soon come to Xu...Father, what's wrong with you?"

"Lu Bu! Lu Bu! You really dare... Poof..." Just as Tao Shang finished reading the first sentence, Tao Qian's already trembling body trembled even more. Qian suddenly straightened up his rickety old waist, stared at the sky with unbelievable eyes, screamed as if he had exhausted all his strength, a blood mist spewed out straight away, and walked straight back. down.Fortunately, the general didn't have time to retreat, so he lowered his head and waited beside the father and son, his eyesight and hands quickly helped Tao Qian, and Tao Qian was saved from falling to the ground.

"Father, there is nothing wrong with you, father! Then Qin Xu, that Lu Bu...how should I, Xuzhou, deal with it?" The pottery merchant was also confused by the sudden news, and said incoherently.Just now his father, Tao Qian, swore that Lu Bu would never try to solve this conspiracy like the only one who "suicided himself", how much time has it taken?It turns out that Lu Bu actually did what Tao Qian said was absolutely impossible.Perhaps in the eyes of Tao Qian, the mighty and mighty neighbor Lv Bu who occupies Qingzhou is the greatest enemy of the world, but in the eyes of pottery merchants, because of the shadow left in the Lishan Valley, Qin Xu, who can't write or mention martial arts, is the strongest What's more, according to the news from the "friend" in Qingzhou, Lu Bu not only gave Qin Xu the right to command the Qingzhou soldiers, but even gave Qin Xu the seal of General Fenwu before he became the shepherd of Qingzhou. What do you mean?What kind of theory, what kind of father and son hurt each other, it is obvious that everything that my father inferred just now has become a lie. How can this embarrass the feelings of the Tao merchant who has finally regained some confidence?
"The old man is fine, Shang'er stays, and the rest, retreat...retreat!" Tao Qian, who was rushed by the crowd, managed to catch his breath, and supported the pottery merchant Barely standing up on his shoulders, his pale face blushing, he forced himself to order.

"This... my lord, your body is important, you should quickly summon the doctor!" Among the people who came, a bold general just said a word of concern, but he was glared at by the ungrateful old Tao Qian, Stopped talking, and the rest of them bowed their heads as promised and left.

"Shang'er... Come here, because my father has something to tell you!" Tao Qian stood proudly with his thin body, and he heaved a sigh of relief until all the generals had disappeared, and couldn't hold on any longer. He seemed to be trembling all over his body, looking at the potter with blank eyes, he gritted his teeth and said as if he had made some kind of determination: "Since the only loophole I planned for my father this time has been solved by Lu Bu, if you want to Trapping Qingzhou to death has become impossible, the current plan is to take advantage of the fact that Qin was ordered to take charge of the Qingzhou soldiers, and the soldiers and horses he brought here must not have many opportunities. But I, Xuzhou, can't come forward in this matter. In this case, you send your confidants, no, you personally avoid the defense of Qingzhou soldiers, go to Yuan Shu's barracks overnight, and say that we want to use the minimum grain and grass in Guangling County as a bargaining chip, and Yuan Shu agrees to borrow Dao Xiapi, kill whoever comes!"

"Father, this, can this work?" The pottery merchant was really frightened by his father's crazy plan, swallowed hard, and said, "I used tricks to trick Lu Bu into the trap before letting Yuan Shu go The gangsters went down to the counties of Pi and Guangling, and they were already showing weakness to Yuan Jun, which fueled his arrogance. If Yuan Shu had ulterior motives and pretended to agree, he would take advantage of this opportunity and instead of stopping Qin Xu, he would directly attack Xiapi. , wouldn’t that just give Lv Bu the reputation of righteousness out of thin air, and even the fact that Lv Bu’s thieves embezzled our Xuzhou and robbed our military resources by the Kanxuan rebels before, is it nothing?”

"My son can say this, and I am very comforted for my father!" Tao Qian finally showed some relief in his eyes when he saw the pottery said these words, shook his head and said patiently: "Then Yuan Shu is my son. I don't know, this man has always been a chivalrous and frivolous man. He and Yuan Shao of Jizhou are half-brothers. They belong to the Yuan family of four generations and three fathers. They have always been at odds with each other because of the distinction between the son and the concubine. This time Yuan Shao and the grandson uncle When Gui fought in Hebei, he had the intention of forming an alliance with Bogui. He attacked Yanzhou, but was finally attacked by Yuan's allies Cao Cao and Liu Biao, and took Yuan Shu's old nest Nanyang away, leaving Yuan Shu standing alone between Huai and Si , in the place where Cao Cao and Liu Biao are spying, if someone expresses goodwill for his father, Bogui's ally, and does not care about his invasion of Xuzhou, and there are so many military rations to support him, but the one who seeks the attack is the same as his family. Lv Bu's army, Cao Cao's ally who hates him, according to Yuan Shu's temperament, will definitely agree readily, and will not be so confused as to reject Xuzhou's goodwill and make enemies on all sides. But I must be cautious when I go here, and I must not divulge any information, so as not to hinder plan for the Father."

"What's the matter? Does father still have backhands to deal with Lu Bu?" The Tao merchant was originally dizzy after hearing Tao Qian's explanation of the current situation, but suddenly heard Tao Qian's words, and suddenly asked in surprise.

"That's right!" Tao Qian said with a sneer with a flash of madness on his sickly flushed face.
