Uncle, please help the Han family

nonexistent.

"And if we win this battle, if the results are good, we can wipe out [-] to [-] enemies, but even so, we will have to sacrifice a lot. Cao Cao's strength is still not to be underestimated."

Tao Qian knew that Cao Cao still had [-] Xia Houyuan's troops to move.

At this time, Langya County is definitely for her to give up.

"Yes." Liu Yu still didn't fool him, and said honestly, "It may be five thousand to ten thousand, but in terms of battle damage ratio, it shouldn't look too good. When your defenders in Xuzhou arrive, at best, they will only Seven or eight thousand."

"If you win, you don't necessarily win, but if you lose, you definitely lose."

Tao Qian raised his head slowly, summarizing this 'battle of hope'.

It can be said to be very accurate.

It's hard to say whether you can retreat after winning, but you will definitely break the city if you lose.

At that time, Liu Yu of the whole cavalry will definitely be able to run.

In the melee, Zhang Liao might be able to escape even if he rescued him.

And Tao Qian will surely die without a place to bury him.

"People in the world say that I, Tao Qian, am old and stupid, that I am pedantic and cowardly now, and that the children I have raised are all incompetent and weak. If they say that, I should die with shame."

While talking, Tao Qian stood up with difficulty, actively refused Chen Gong's support, picked up a box from under the desk, and uncovered the cloth wrapped on it layer by layer.

In the end, what appeared in the eyes of everyone was a box carved with exquisite patterns.

Just like that, Tao Qian opened the box.

Not surprisingly, it contained Xuzhou Mu's big seal.

This object is the only symbol of ruling Xuzhou.

In troubled times, those who have this thing are all overlords (at the state level). After all, the state shepherd is different from the governor, and its actual value is far better than that of the feudal officials.

"Xiangguo."

Tao Qian, who was already 'shaky', walked up to Liu Yu with this big seal in his arms, and presented him to Liu Yu with tears in his eyes: "When the princes met, I was wrong at that time. I stand firmly on your side. I know that no matter how I admit my mistake, I can't make you forgive me. But, for the sake of me being a useless old man, please rest assured."

Tao Qian finally used the word 'let go'.

This word, the emotions mixed in it are much more direct than forgiveness, punishment, and remorse.

Because whether it is forgiveness, punishment, or remorse, it cannot be truly eliminated.

The only word to let go is to completely empty out everything in the past.

At this moment, in Liu Yu's eyes, he was not a cunning old man, but a miserable old man.

Does Liu Yu hate Tao Qian?

No.

Since the end of the Eighteenth Route Princes' Alliance, Liu Yu has formed a relationship with all the princes except Sun Jian (because his daughter is in his hands) in his heart, marking them as opponents that must be eliminated.

Including Tao Qian, who was also included by Liu Yu in the must-clean up list.

However, Liu Yu is not a robot, he is not a decisive and absolutely worthwhile Internet hero, his kindness makes him feel more sympathy for this old man at the moment.

"Ah."

Directly took over the Xuzhou state herding seal presented by Tao Qian with both hands, Liu Yu agreed to this old man who was not far from death, agreed to save his family's life, and tried not to give up the Xiapi battlefield as much as possible.

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Tao Qian lowered his head and sincerely surrendered to Liu Yu.

If I didn't let Zhang Kai mess with Mrs. Cao at that time, maybe it wouldn't have turned into the situation it is today.

It can only be said that it is one's own fault, one's own fault.

Liu Yu didn't respond to Tao Qian's thanks, but turned his head and handed the state animal husbandry seal to Chen Gong, saying lightly: "You are more useful than me in defending the city now. Wait until Cao Cao retreats." , and return this thing to me."

That's right, pay me back.

Liu Yu is already the lord of Xuzhou at this time, unlike Liu Bei who pushes back and forth, he accepts it with peace of mind.

"...here."

Chen Gong took the big seal with both hands, and nodded reverently.

"That's the end of my conversation with Mr. Tao. Next, you can prepare arrows. I'll wait for you at the posthouse."

After Liu Yu put down these words, he was about to turn around and leave, but when he left, he stopped again, looked at Chen Gong, and asked in a confirming tone: "Want to chat?"

"..."

Chen Gong, who was at a loss just now, nodded excitedly at Liu Yu's invitation and said, "Well, I want to chat!"

Chapter 390 The Upper House Drawer, Chen Gong Limited Edition

Chen Gong's emotional changes towards Liu Yu are very subtle.

It can be said that she initially had a good impression of Liu Yu because Liu Yu was Cao Cao's opponent.

And according to Chen Gong's first formula: whatever Cao Mengde opposes, she supports.

So her initial impression of Liu Yu was 'a friend who can cooperate'.

As for advocating and respecting Liu Yu so much now, it is because she is in a very dangerous situation at this time. Outside there is Cao Cao who wants to tear herself into pieces, and inside there are Chen Deng and others who want to throw herself off the top of the city. In a very embarrassing position, the only option at this time is to surrender to Xiangguo.

When a person is in despair, it is too reasonable to regard the only person who can help him as a spiritual support.

Liu Xie: I am familiar with this matter.

At this time, after Chen Gong got the seal of the state shepherd that Liu Yu let him use for the time being, he first went back to his room to hide the great artifact, then changed his clothes, and after dressing himself up as much as possible, So he went to the posthouse by car to talk to Liu Yu.

Along the way, she thought a lot about what she wanted to tell Liu Yu.

Of course, no matter how helpless she is now and how much she treats Liu Yu, she still represents Xuzhou's position and Tao Qian's interests.

Therefore, this time, I still have to talk more about how I should live and die with Xuzhou.

Xiangguo's strategy is indeed feasible, but there are too many variables, and there are still many areas that need to be polished, and the error tolerance rate of the all-or-nothing game is too low. If we can find a "moderate" method in some aspects, It would be nice to be able to mitigate the risk.

It was true that Liu Yu could get wet directly because the timing was wrong, but Xuzhou was here, and it couldn't go anywhere.

Xiangguo had to bear some of this risk.

"Sir, we have arrived at the posthouse."

While thinking about it, the carriage had arrived in front of the post house.

"You wait here, pay attention to the martial law, and report to me if you have important matters."

It is an absolute secret that Xiangguo's entry into the city is an absolute secret. At present, he and Tao Qian know about it. Although the information is leaked at this moment, everyone in the city will know that Xiangguo exists, and then let those officials and families find ways to keep him, and indirectly take Xiangguo. 'Holding' can bring an army of [-] to Xiapi in an instant.

But for this kind of behavior, Xiangguo will definitely settle accounts afterwards.

At a lower level, the nine clans were exterminated, and at a higher level, all those who coerced him were put into a frying pan and fried.

That way, the death is even worse.

Therefore, for tomorrow's counterattack, it is necessary to keep Xiangguo's whereabouts secret.

Even, even after that, no one could know that Xiangguo was here tonight.

So, after asking the coachman to wait outside the post house and telling him to pay attention to the notification, he went to the post house where Liu Yu was by himself.

And when she was at the door, she met two female warriors holding Qingwu. They seemed to be Liu Yu's people, because there were quite a few people on her side who could use Qingwu. She had never seen these two new faces before. Pass.

"I am Chen Gong."

Chen Gong didn't talk nonsense, and said directly to the two of them.

And these two people probably also received the order from the person who 'proclaimed Chen Gong' to go with them, and they didn't conduct any search on themselves.

Chen Gong just walked into the post house.

After entering it, she didn't see Liu Yu at first sight, but a female general with long blue hair and a kind expression...

A beautiful short girl with blue hair?

This person should be Zhang Liao.

After seeing the real person, Chen Gong was very surprised. After all, it was very different from the blood-covered, blue-haired killing god described by the outside world.

This person looks very gentle.

"Is it Mr. Chen Gong?"

Not only looks, Zhang Liao's tone of voice is also very gentle, even to a stranger, it is like talking with a friend, very close and natural.

strangeness……

It's obviously only the first time we've met, why do you want to be friends with this female general so much?

But after spending more than half a month with Xuzhou Tao Qian's subordinates, he still didn't have the slightest desire to get to know them in depth, and even said that they would part ways after the battle was over soon.

Could it be that because I admire Liu Yu too much, I also have a preconceived impression of his subordinates?

But if this is the case, why is the woman standing beside him, this girl with blue hair, his feelings for her...different from Zhang Liao?

Sure enough, it must be because Zhang Liao is more kind and this one is more serious.

"Well, I'm Chen Gong." Chen Gong also smiled, and bowed respectfully to Zhang Liao, "Your Excellency is General Zhang Liao?"

"Well, I'm Zhang Liao, Xiangguo is waiting for you above the attic, please."

Zhang Liao stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden ladder behind Chen Gong.

"Thank you."

After Chen Gong thanked Zhang Liao slightly, he stepped onto the somewhat narrow wooden ladder, and then climbed up carefully.

The second floor is a cramped attic with not too much space, the lighting is rather dim, without any wooden furniture, but it is very clean, and you can sleep directly with a quilt.

And Liu Yu just sat cross-legged in front of a small tea table, waiting for him.

Chen Gong first smiled at Liu Yu, then leaned forward, bowed his waist, and walked forward slowly.

However, just as she set off, the ladder behind her was suddenly removed.

"...This?" Chen Gong was stunned, because there was only one way to get down to the attic on the second floor.

This place is a full three feet high (about 6 meters) from the ground on the first floor, and I am not a warrior, so if this continues, I may send it on the spot.

"Here, there are only the two of us, and the ladder has been removed, which means..."

Sitting in front of the coffee table, Liu Yu came up with a wave of re-enactments of the classics, and slyly said to Chen Gong: "No matter what you say here, don't worry about it being leaked out."

"Even though that's what I said..."

Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, then glanced back, hesitant to speak.

But your two subordinates are still here, if they leak it, won't I be finished?

There is no sense of security at all!

However, in such an environment, there is really no need to worry about being eavesdropped by other idlers.

For example, there are Xuzhou people all over the city.

"Tao Qian was still there just now, so I was a little bit considerate in what I said, and since he is gone now, we are the only ones left, so let me be direct." Liu Yu said straight to the point without being playful, "Now is The best chance to leave Xiapi City, do you want to come with me?"

To be honest, Liu Yu has tried his best in this battle, but Cao Jun has four red sun formations.

So, now, Run, bring Chen Gong and the artifact that Chen Gong got for him earlier, it can be said that he won't lose money for a small profit.

As for Tao Qian, there was really no other way.

It's not that Liu Yu doesn't want to help, but as a brilliant politician, he needs to make certain trade-offs.

You can indeed try to fight this battle, and there is a chance to win it, but the price of losing is too high, and according to this situation, I loaned Zhang Liao to Tao Qian. How can Zhang Liao escape from the middle of the war?

And what will be the result then?

Losing a general, Chen Gong couldn't get it, and the artifact he got was returned in this way.

So, don't be fettered by poor Tao Qian's tears, take Chen Gong away now, you won't lose anything.

It depends on Chen Gong, how to choose.
