Bao Xin and Cao Ren heard what Cao Cao said. Also looked at Lin Yuan.

There were many generals under Cao Cao's command, and the two of them didn't know which general to send to pick up Cao Song and the Cao family.

Lin Yuan heard Cao Cao's words and said with a smile:"I have already thought about the candidate."

"What does the lord think of Zhao Yun?"

Hearing Lin Yuan say Zhao Yun's name, Cao Ren and Bao Xin were stunned for a moment.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Yuan's words. Zhao Yun's martial arts was the strongest among the generals under his command.

Zhao Yun and Lu Bu were sitting together outside Hulao Pass Killing more than a hundred rounds without falling into a disadvantage surprised Cao Cao and other generals at the time.

There was actually a general who could tie with Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun was the first one they saw.

"It is indeed good that the military advisor chose Zhao Yun!"

Cao Cao looked at Lin Yuan with a smile on his face.

Lin Yuan smiled when he heard Cao Cao's words. He chose Zhao Yun not only because of Zhao Yun's martial arts.

Zhao Yun was not only humble but also very witty. Lin Yuan along the way. Yuan could not guarantee whether there would be any unexpected changes.

With Zhao Yun in Lin Yuan believed that he could adapt to the situation even if unexpected changes occurred, and brought Cao Song and the Cao family to Yanzhou

"I think Gao Shun can also go to Langya County with Zhao Yun. Gao Shun's reticence really knows how to judge the situation."

"If the two generals Zhao Yun and Gao Shun go, they will definitely be able to safely send the lord's father and the rest of the Cao family to Yanzhou."

Lin Yuan looked at the three Cao Cao men and mentioned Gao Shun again.

When they heard Lin Yuan mention Gao Shun, Cao Cao's three men had a glimmer of light in their eyes.

Among Cao Cao's generals, Gao Shun was the most taciturn. But the other generals Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and others were... They did not dare to underestimate Gao Shun. They admired Gao Shun's method of training soldiers.

Especially the trapped camp under Gao Shun, although there were only a thousand people.

Cao Ren and others knew in their hearts that they could not compete with Gao Shun with an army of thousands. Cao Ren and other military generals also recognized

Gao Shun very much, and the military advisor suggested that it would be no problem for the three of them to let Gao Shun and Zhao Yun go.

"Now that the military advisor has decided on the candidate, he sends Zhao Yun and Gao Shun there."

Cao Cao looked at several people making a decision.

"The lord also wants to send spies to infiltrate Xuzhou. These spies don’t need to do anything."

"Just observe whether a group of people is invited to Xuzhou."

Lin Yuan looked at Cao Cao and asked another question.

"Rest assured, the military knows what to do."

"It's up to you to arrange Cao Ren's spies!"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren and gave the order.

"Yes!"

Cao Ren bowed his hands in salute, turned and left the hall.

Lin Yuan looked at the map in front of him, with a faint smile on his face when he saw Xuzhou.

Xuzhou Governor's Mansion! Tao

Qian with a gray beard sat in the main seat. Although his face was calm, his eyes were full of excitement. Shining light.

On both sides of him stood the civil and military officials of Xuzhou. The civil official Chen Deng was at the front on the left.

Chen Deng was the son of Chen Gui. He was cheerful and resourceful. He was in charge of

Xuzhou's agriculture and the people of Xuzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment. Chen Deng's Credit.

Tao Qian is also more optimistic about Chen Deng. The person in the front on Tao Qian's right is Cao Bao.

He is in charge of the army in Xuzhou and is also Tao Qian's most trusted general.

The other civil servants and generals are clearly separated and stand behind Chen Deng and Cao Bao.

Tao Qian Qian glanced at the officials below, with a sad look on his face

"Everyone, the Yellow Turban Army attacked Yanzhou a few days ago."

"Liu Dai, the herdsman of Yanzhou, led his army out of the city to fight with the Yellow Turban Army, but was beheaded by the Yellow Turban Army."

"Yanzhou City is in danger, Bao Xin turns to Cao Cao for help"

"Cao Cao came to Yanzhou with his army. Not only did he become the new shepherd of Yanzhou, he also surrendered the Yellow Turban Army."

"What do you think about this matter?"

Tao Qian said with a trace of emotion on his face. He was shocked when he learned that Liu Dai was killed by the Yellow Turban Army a few days ago.

Liu Dai and he were both members of the eighteen princes who conquered Dong Zhuo. He didn't expect that they would Killed by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

When Liu Dai died, the city of Yanzhou was in danger. Tao Qian wanted to send Cao Bao to lead the army to support Yanzhou.

Once Yanzhou became safe, he would have the opportunity to take Yanzhou to himself.

Just when he ordered Cao Bao to lead the army , when preparing to go to Yanzhou.

The spies came to report that Cao Cao led an army into Yanzhou City, became the herdsman of Yanzhou and surrendered the Yellow Turban Army.

Tao Qian was very surprised when he heard what the soldiers said. He did not expect that Yanzhou was conquered first.

It was still what he was most afraid of. When the princes Cao Cao was conquering Dong Zhuo,

Tao Qian had observed other princes, and the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were more fearful to him. Gongsun Zan, who had a white horse, and Sun Jian, a fierce tiger, were both princes he was afraid of.

At first, Tao Qian He didn't pay attention to Cao Cao. Later, Cao Cao captured Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass.

Defeating Lu Bu, forcing Dong Zhuo to take the emperor to escape from Luoyang.

Tao Qian knew at that time that Cao Cao would become the prince he was most afraid of.

Not only Because of Cao Cao and the young counselor Lin Yuan beside Cao Cao.

When other princes were trying to win over Lin Yuan, Tao Qian also tried to win over Lin Yuan but failed.

Cao Cao's strength increased greatly after he conquered Dong Zhuo, and now he has Yanzhou as his backing.

The strength has greatly increased. Xuzhou where Tao Qian is located is not far from Yanzhou. The emperor moved the capital to Chang'an, and the world has begun to be in chaos.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao attacked Han Fu, and the defeated Han Fu had no choice but to give up the pastoral care of Jizhou to Yuan Shao.

Once Cao Cao attacked him Xuzhou had ideas, and Tao Qian knew that he could not withstand Cao Cao's army.

Lin Yuan, his counselor, and Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's counselor, were all defeated by this man.

How could he resist Lin Yuan's plan? In his opinion, no one among the civil servants and generals could compete with Lin Yuan.

After knowing that Cao Cao became the shepherd of Yanzhou, Tao Qian had been thinking of ways to protect Xuzhou. When other civil servants and generals in the hall heard Tao Qian's words, they looked at each other No one spoke.

Cao Bao turned around and saw that no ministers spoke.Tao Qian cupped his hands and said:

"Lord, the world is in chaos"

"Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan attacked Han Fu, and the princes began to compete with each other for the city."

"Cao Cao was very ambitious, and now he became the shepherd of Yanzhou."

"Next, I will definitely have thoughts about my lord’s Xuzhou, and my lord has to guard against it!"

After Cao Bao's words fell, everyone nodded slightly when they heard Cao Bao's words.

Tao Qian touched his gray beard. What Cao Bao just said was exactly what he was thinking.

Whoever among the princes is more powerful will be able to fight. He has the right to speak.

If he, Tao Qian, had powerful troops, he would definitely attack Cao Cao's Yanzhou.

Tao Qian believed that Cao Cao might be planning how to capture Xuzhou at this time.

Chen Deng stood aside without saying anything, his expression very serious. Calm.

Tao Qian looked at Chen Deng and said,"Yuanlong, what do you think of this matter?"

When everyone heard Tao Qian mention Chen Deng, all their eyes turned to Chen Deng.

Chen Deng is the youngest among the officials under Tao Qian's command, but he is very good at managing agricultural affairs.

This is why the officials under Tao Qian's command do not dare to underestimate Chen Deng. place, but there was one person who looked down upon Chen Deng, and that was Cao Bao.

Since ancient times, many civil and military officials were at odds with each other, and Cao Bao looked down on Chen Deng, a young civil servant. In particular, Tao Qian valued Chen Deng, which made Cao Bao look down on Chen Deng. He was even more dissatisfied.

Cao Bao also looked at Chen Deng who was standing aside, with a hint of disdain on his face.

Chen Deng's face became calm after hearing Tao Qian's words, and he looked at Tao Qian and said,"I think General Cao Bao's words are reasonable." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Now that Cao Cao has become the shepherd of Yanzhou, he will definitely be eyeing the lord's Xuzhou, so the lord still needs to be more careful."

Tao Qian frowned when he heard Chen Deng's words. Chen Deng didn't give him any practical advice. However, Chen Deng managed the farming under him, and Tao Qian didn't force Chen Deng to give him advice. Cao Bao heard Chen Deng's words.

, with a hint of pride on his face.

You, Chen Deng, are favored by the lord, but your method is not the same as my general.

"Report, the lord has a secret message!"

While Tao Qian was thinking about how to deal with Cao Cao, a soldier walked in holding a bamboo tube.

Tao Qian took the bamboo tube, opened it and took out the brocade cloth inside. There was a hint of joy on his face when he saw the content on it.

"Everyone else, please step back, Chen Deng, Cao Bao, you two stay!"

Tao Qian closed the brocade cloth in his hand, looked at everyone and said

"I resign!"

Although the minister was confused, Tao Qian read the content on the brocade and asked them to leave.

However, everyone did not ask any more questions and left the hall in an orderly manner.

Soon only Tao Qian, Chen Deng and Cao Bao were left in the hall, and Chen Deng Looking at the happy Tao Qian, he frowned.

The secret report just now was definitely not simple, otherwise Tao Qian would not have let the other ministers leave.[]

Chen Deng despised Tao Qian in his heart. He thought Tao Qian had two faces.

It's just that Tao Qian asked him to manage farming, and he was more interested in farming.

He never had any crooked ideas about Tao Qian, but he also hid his clumsiness in front of Tao Qian and rarely gave Tao Qian any advice.

"Yuan Long, Wen Wei, and the spies in Yanzhou sent back information"

"Cao Song wrote a letter to his son Cao Cao, saying that he would take members of the Cao family from Langya County to Yanzhou."

Tao Qian put the brocade cloth on the table and looked at Chen Deng and Cao Bao with a smile on his face as he told the contents of the brocade cloth.

After hearing Tao Qian's words, Cao Bao had a trace of doubt on his face. Cao Cao's father returned Yanzhou.

Cao Bao didn't understand why the lord was so happy.

Chen Deng looked at Tao Qian who was looking happy and frowned slightly.

He knew why Tao Qian was so happy when he saw Cao Song going to Yanzhou.

Chen Deng didn't have any He opened his mouth to speak, but looked at Tao Qian. The same was true for Cao Bao.

"Cao Cao became the shepherd of Yanzhou and had elite soldiers under his command."

"Cao Cao will not be reconciled to having only Yanzhou as a state city. Once he has the opportunity, he will definitely attack Xuzhou"

"Cao Song took his family members to defect to Cao Cao at this time. If he wanted to go to Yanzhou, he would have to pass through Xuzhou."

"At this time, I invited the people from the Cao family who gave Cao Song to Xuzhou, and then told Cao Cao the news."

"Cao Cao knew that his father and family members were in my hands, so naturally he would not have any thoughts about Xuzhou anymore."

"Unless Cao Cao ignores the lives of his father and everyone in his family and attacks Xuzhou"

"If everyone in the world knows about this, they will definitely insult Cao Cao as an unfilial son."

Tao Qian said with a smile on his face.

He was worried about how to resist Cao Cao and save Xuzhou.

When he saw the secret report sent back by the spies, he knew that the opportunity had come.

As long as he invited Cao Cao's father and family members to Xuzhou, Cao Cao He would definitely not attack Xuzhou.

Tao Qian believed that Cao Cao would not dare to bear the reputation of being an unfilial son. This would be very detrimental to Cao Cao.

"The master's plan is very clever, I will finally be convinced!"

Cao Bao's eyes lit up when he heard Tao Qian's words. With Cao Song and the Cao family in his hands, Cao Cao would not dare to attack Xuzhou.

Chen Deng frowned when he heard Tao Qian's plan. It was exactly what he thought.

Tao Qian wanted to make a fuss about Cao Cao's father. Although he despised Tao Qian's plan, he had to say that once Tao Qian's plan succeeded, Cao Cao would indeed be unable to attack Xuzhou.

Unless Cao Cao was accused of being an unfilial son, Chen Deng believed that Cao Cao would not be able to attack Xuzhou. Dare to bear this infamy.

Chen Deng’s face was calm and he didn’t speak.

Tao Qian had a smile on his face when he heard Cao Bao’s praise.

"In the next few days, Cao Song will take the Cao family members from Langya County to Yanzhou."

"Cao Bao, please arrange for your lieutenants to be stationed inside and outside Xuzhou City with their own soldiers."

"Once Cao Song and other members of the Cao family were discovered, they were invited to the Governor's Mansion."

Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao and gave the order. Chen Deng is in charge of farming. It is most appropriate to leave this matter to Cao Bao, a general.

"The general will obey!"

(Zhao)"But my lord, I have never met Cao Cao's father or the Cao family, and I don't know who Cao Song or the Cao family is."

Cao Bao looked at Tao Qian and expressed his difficulties. place.

Tao Qian frowned when he heard Cao Bao's words. He and Cao Song had a conversation at a banquet when they were officials in the same court.

He couldn't come out in person and wait for Cao Song's arrival inside and outside Xuzhou City.

"When Cao Song and the Cao family travel from Langya County to Yanzhou, they will inevitably bring a large amount of money and supplies with them."

"Once the soldiers you arrange see a group of people carrying a large amount of money and supplies,"

"I invited these people to the governor's office in Xuzhou. I believe that among these people there must be Cao Song and Cao family members."

Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao and told him how to identify Cao Song.

In his opinion, Cao Song would have to carry a lot of supplies when he took his family members on a long journey.

Xuzhou was Cao Song's only way. As long as there were soldiers, Observe carefully even if you don’t know what Cao Song looks like.

You can still find Cao Song and send him to the Governor’s Mansion

"Cao Bao was convinced of the master's clever plan. Cao

Bao looked at Tao Qian and praised him a few more times. Then he remembered something and looked at Tao Qian and said:

"Lord, if Cao Song does not leave Xuzhou City, the people sent out by the general may not be able to see Cao Song."

"Don't worry, I and Cao Song were officials in the same dynasty after all."

"Cao Song would definitely choose to go from Xuzhou to Yanzhou. He didn't expect that I, an official in the same dynasty, would invite him to the Governor's Mansion."

When Tao Qian said the word"please", he emphasized his tone.

"You will eventually understand!"

When Cao Bao heard Tao Qian's words, there was a hint of joy on his face.

Chen Deng on the side looked calm, but he was disdainful in his heart.

As long as Cao Song goes from Xuzhou to Yanzhou, Tao Qian will definitely invite him to the Governor's Mansion as a hostage

"There is one more thing, Cao Bao, you must remember it!".
