Uncle, please help the Han family

"I will remember your credit." Liu Yu patted Zhang Liao's shoulder lightly, then turned around, and patted Gongsun Zan and Zuo Ci with bloody hands, "I will thank you for your credit." Remember, when the time comes, we'll do the math again."

Do the math...

It sounds subtle.

However, Xiangguo should reward him with many good things.

Thinking of this, Zuo Ci also blushed a little shyly.

Wait, why are you so different from being shy?

"Xiangguo." Gongsun Zan, as the most stable person here, was the first to ask, "Then what should we say, are we going to enter Xiapi City?"

"After this battle, Cao Cao's vitality was severely injured, and Xiahou Dun also lost his combat strength. I guess he will not attack again." Liu Yu shook his head and said calmly, "Once it is determined that he will not attack again, then Yishui and The mouth of Surabaya is about to be opened, we can enter the city with a small part, but the main force should be placed outside the city."

"Indeed, water is what cavalrymen fear most. We must prevent Cao Cao from flooding the city." Gongsun Zan nodded in agreement, agreeing with Liu Yu's statement.

If they continue to fight, Cao Cao may not release the water, but if they stop fighting, Cao Cao's dark and damp character will definitely not make them feel better.

Instead of strengthening yourself, it is better to disgust others. Cao Cao is such a despicable villain.

"Today, Bogui, Zuo Ci and I will enter the city first." Liu Yu looked at Zhang Liao who was already extremely tired, and said with some distress, "It's all meaningless entertainment, Wen Yuan should take a good rest and stay with the army. so as not to be overworked.”

"Here."

Although Zhang Liao loves to make friends with people and is very popular, it doesn't mean he likes to join in the fun, so she is quite satisfied with Liu Yu's arrangement.

"Then shall we enter the city now?" Zuo Ci asked with some expectation.

"Do not."

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Yu shook his head, and said calmly: "Is there any reason to come uninvited? Let's wait for Tao Qian to invite you."

…………

"We won! Tao Gong, we won!"

After Chen Gong completely wiped out the Cao army in front of Xiapi City, Xuzhou's civil servants collectively entered the state pastoral mansion and began to express their congratulations to Tao Qian.

Everyone had bright smiles on their faces, and their voices were full of excitement, as if this battle had something to do with them.

"Then, what about Xiangguo?"

After Tao Qian heard this, he tremblingly got up from the bed, without even putting on his shoes, and with the help of the maid, he walked in front of all the civil servants.

"Xiangguo..." A middle-aged chief secretary squeezed out a flattering smile, stepped forward and said to Tao Qian, "Xiangguo's army is outside the city, and Chen Gong is inviting him to enter the city, but he thinks he doesn't want to be disturbed by entering the city." You declined, and the two are talking outside the city."

"Don't want to come to the city to disturb?"

Hearing this, Tao Qian frowned, became suspicious, and began to ponder this sentence.

"Xiangguo probably doesn't want to go to the city, after all, it's safer outside the city."

"Yeah, if he wants to go to the city, why would he worry about being disturbed?"

"In this case, then obey him, it's better not to disobey him."

Civil servants all thought that they should listen to Liu Yu's words and not have too many opinions.

Looking at these wine bags and rice bags, Tao Qian felt more and more that something was wrong. Although he didn't know what was wrong, these counselors who had no effect since Cao Cao's siege of the city, and even said side effects (expelling Chen Gong), really listened to what they said. ?

No.

Tao Qian felt that he could not listen to the trash's subordinates, but once he determined the direction, he quickly realized what he should do.

"Quick, help me into the sedan chair, I want to greet Xiangguo in person."

Tao Qian raised his hand and made such a decision with a serious expression.

"My lord, no, no!"

"You have a serious illness. If you go out of the city yourself, you may hurt your blood."

"Yes, yes, you must take good care of your body at this time, otherwise Xuzhou will definitely be taken away by Chen Gong."

"If she gets the power, she will definitely not let me wait!"

He said he cared about the lord, but within a few seconds, his selfishness was revealed.

These pedantic civil servants confirmed Tao Qian's ideas with their stupidity.

You guys are so stupid, I believe you ghosts!

"Hurry up and prepare the sedan chair, and go out of the city to welcome Xiangguo!" Tao Qian said angrily, "All of you, follow me out of the city and kneel down to welcome Xiangguo together!"

Chapter 397 Xiangguo's card

What Liu Yu wants is face, and what he wants is control. If you don't satisfy him now, when he starts to hold grudges someday in the future, can we get along?

If there is no such thing as Cao Cao, we in Xuzhou do have some status, and the court would have to coax us, but now the disaster is on the head, and you still don't obey him, how can you be so blind?

"........."

Seeing that Tao Qian had said that, these civil servants were also stunned. After looking at each other for a while, they nodded awkwardly quickly, and then a group of people protected old Tao Qian and walked out of the mansion.

……

"This battle was fought so well, congratulations to Gongtai."

Liu Yu clasped his hands together, bowed to Chen Gong with a smile, and sincerely congratulated him.

"It's Xiangguo's wise decision-making." Chen Gong bowed back modestly, and then said rather hypocritically, "I am also grateful to Tao Gong for giving me such an opportunity to fight against the Cao bandits with my colleagues in Xuzhou."

Although Chen Gong was very snobbish, he sprayed those grandsons all over after winning the battle, and even punished Tao Qian's eldest son to beat the drums, and let out a bad breath, but in front of Liu Yu, he behaved Quite humble, showing no bad character at all.

Is not this nonsensical?Do you want to say in front of Liu Yu that I can't stand those little bastards for a long time, but fortunately you are here, Xiangguo, who can take me away from this place full of big sabi?

This is not honesty, this is lack of heart.

"It's a pity that Mr. Tao is old. If he wants to continue to serve as the governor of Xuzhou, he may not have the energy." Liu Yu said with emotion.

"...It's a pity." Chen Gong didn't dare to answer this sentence, so he could only agree with it vaguely.

Good guy, Tao Qian hasn't officially retired yet, have you already started looking for candidates for the governor?

However, according to Xiangguo's style, this governor should not be born among Tao Qian's son, Xuzhou bureaucrats and other aborigines.

It is very likely that it is an official from Youzhou, and a general with a strong wrist will be the guard... guard.

"Xiangguo, let's go to the city."

Chen Gong didn't see Liu Yu's real thoughts, but he still invited him warmly.

"Well, this is..."

With a smile on his lips, Liu Yu didn't answer directly until dozens of officials lined up at the Xiapi city gate, and then an old man walked out of the city slowly with the support of a young man.

"gone."

After saying this, Liu Yu got on his horse and planned to leave.

"Leave a step for Xiangguo, stay for a step for Xiangguo!"

Seeing that Liu Yu was about to leave, Tao Qian quickly raised his hand, trying to persuade him to stay.

"..." After seeing this scene, Chen Gong realized how ruthless his new protagonist was.

He really wants to use it if he is under his leadership.

Even if Tao Qian was really sick and dying.

"Ah?" Liu Yu turned around, looked at Tao Qian who was not far away, and deliberately made a show of coddling, "The battle is not over yet, isn't that bad?"

This means that you want to enter the city, what do you think you are pretending to be!

Tao Qian was very annoyed by the bad character of this kid who likes to torture the old man, but the other party is like a "king" at this time, so he hurriedly asked his son to lead the horse for Xiangguo: "Hurry up and meet Xiangguo, welcome Xiangguo!"

"...obey father!"

Tao Qian's elder brother did not dare to be negligent, so he ran directly in front of Xiangguo's horse, bowed in awe, took the horse by the reins, and invited him into the city.

"Well, since Mr. Tao is so enthusiastic, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

There is a limit to hypocrisy. Liu Yu originally wanted to go to the city, but now that the other party has arranged the scene, Liu Yu stopped pretending.

In this way, with Tao Qian's son as the groom, let him lead himself to Tao Qian.

Logically speaking, Liu Yu should have dismounted at this time, but he had no intention of moving.

"..."

When everyone saw this scene, they were all embarrassed, and they all surrendered their eyes to Mr. Tao.

Could this Xiangguo be... Could it be that he wanted to let himself lie down in public as a footstool for him?

I, I am the son of Zhou Mu, you...

Forget it, lie down!

For the sake of the family, Tao Qian's eldest son had already given up his dignity as a man and bent down to be a 'stone'.

At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

Looking back, it was Liu Yu's gentle and handsome face.

"My lord, I'm going to dismount."

"……oh oh!"

Young Master Tao Qian was taken aback, and quickly stepped aside.

And Liu Yu got off his horse slowly, walked up to Tao Qian, and held his hand: "Mr. Tao came out to greet him even when he was in poor health. Such a profound friendship is touching."

"Xiangguo is serious, this is the duty of the minister."

Tao Qian squeezed out a smile with a little panic, but he didn't expect Liu Yu to be so polite, and he didn't think about Li Wei.

When you thought Liu Yu was a good man, he tortured a weak old man to death, and when you thought Liu Yu was bad because of this, he did this, touched the old man's rough hand, eh——

"Go into the city."

In front of Xuzhou civil servants, Liu Yu supported Tao Qian very generously and walked into the city.

Young and frivolous?

No need.

Buying people's hearts is always the first priority.

Some things, you have to let the other party say it by themselves, so that it is useful.

"Xiangguo."

Just as the two of them walked under the top of the city, when the light suddenly dimmed, Tao Qian looked into Liu Yu's eyes, and suddenly said humbly: "Do you think my son can be a small official in the court?"

"Tao Gong has two sons, which one are you talking about?"

Hearing this, Liu Yu got excited, but still asked in a puzzled way on purpose.

"..." Unexpectedly, Liu Yu was so desperate, Tao Qian was stunned, and after a little entanglement in his heart, he reluctantly said, "Both of them."

One proton is not enough, Xiangguo, you have no heart!

"Yes, very capable."

Liu Yu agreed without hesitation, and showed a sly smile: "Mr. Tao's two sons are very good. I will take them back to Yecheng in a few days, and arrange them to be on duty by my side."

"Thank you Xiangguo."

Walking through the city gate, under the sun, Tao Qian held Liu Yu's hand tightly, with tears in his eyes, and said earnestly: "My two sons, I will leave them to you. And the old man will last as long as possible." After Xiang Wangshi arrives, he will enter the loess again."

Tao Qian understands a truth very well, that is, verbal promises are meaningless to high-end politicians.

What Liu Yu needs now is a sense of security.

After he left Xiapi and Xuzhou, how can he still have effective control over the place, rather than the name of "management".

Then, handing over these two sons to Xiangguo as protons is the only real thing.

in fact……

Tao Qian's daughter Liu Yu also wanted to take her away, but thinking that this old man still needs someone to take care of him, let's leave some immediate family members for him, and don't do things too badly.

"It can be as short as three months, or as long as half a year. I will definitely come back." Liu Yu promised Tao Qian.
