Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

When I saw Mi Zhu, he was no longer Xuzhou Biejia, but a middle-aged man in common clothes.

"Greetings to the Commander-in-Chief." Mi Zhu bowed his hands to Li Chen.

Since he was asking for help for something, it was natural to assume the attitude of asking for help, so Mi Zhu put his position very low.

Li Chen pointed to the empty seat on the left, and said, "Zi Zhong, please sit down."

Li Chen sits on the main seat, Chen Deng sits on the right, and Mi Zhu sits on the left.After the three of them sat down, Li Chen ordered his attendants to pour tea for the three of them.

After drinking a cup of Qingming, Mi Zhu said what he came for: "Master Dian, my Mi family is willing to offer three thousand gold, how about temporarily protecting Liu Xuande's safety?"

Three thousand gold, I have to say that the clans of this era are really rich.Not to mention the Yuan family, big clans like the Cao family, and even small clans like the Mi family don't seem to put three thousand pieces of gold in their eyes.

As soon as Mi Zhu finished speaking, Chen Deng looked at Li Chen, as if he wanted to say something.Li Chen nodded slightly at him, indicating that he could speak.

Chen Deng looked at Mi Zhu and said with a smile, "Zi Zhong, Ming people don't whisper. The three thousand gold is unnecessary. I want you to buy food and grass from Tao Qian."

When Tao Qian left Xuzhou, he sold the stored grain in the warehouse to the three families of Chen, Mi and Zhen.Among them, the Chen family has the most, and the Mi family has the least.But this small amount is also for the base of grain storage in Xuzhou as a whole.

Mi's stockpiled grain bought from Tao Qian, let alone a lot, still has tens of thousands of dans.

Chen Deng probably knew how much grain the Mi family had bought from Tao Qian.At that time, the price of Tao Qian's grain sales was extremely low, so although the batch of grain was slightly more expensive than three thousand gold, it was not much more expensive.

Chen Deng felt that this condition was within Mi Zhu's acceptable range.

As expected, Mi Zhu didn't even hesitate for a moment, and agreed very readily.

Mi Zhu knew very well that it was wartime, and Mi's food was all in Xuzhou city, and it was impossible to transport it out of the city now.And once the battle situation in Xuzhou gets tight, Li Chen may requisition this batch of grain at any time.Instead of this, it would be better to keep Liu Bei with this batch of grain for the time being.

Li Chen originally wanted to exchange Liu Bei for Zhao Yun, so it was a surprise to be able to get tens of thousands of dans of grain for nothing.

Li Chen looked at Mi Zhu, and asked nonchalantly, "Zi Zhong, do you want to save Liu Xuande?"

Li Chen asked so directly, which made Mi Zhu a little surprised.He froze for a moment and then said: "That's right, brother Xuande has a very good personal relationship with me, so it's a great thing to be able to save him."

After getting Mi Zhu's affirmative answer, Li Chen didn't bother to go around the corner, but straight to the point and said: "In fact, Liu Xuande is useless in my hands, but people make mistakes, and they have to pay for their own mistakes. Lost battles Naturally, you have to pay the price of losing the battle, Zizhong, if you say yes or no."

As soon as Li Chen said this, Mi Zhu thought, it seems that there is something to talk about.If Liu Bei can be rescued easily, there is no need to ask for help everywhere.

"Marshal Dian, I wonder what price brother Xuande will have to pay?" Mi Zhu simply asked bluntly.

Li Chen didn't bother to go around any detours, and said directly to Mi Zhu, "I want that young general in white robes under the city today."

It is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal for Mi Zhu to exchange Zhao Yun for Liu Bei.

However, at this moment, Mi Zhu was sitting in front of the desk, frowning.After a long time, he said to Li Chen: "Commander, you don't know. That young general is named Zhao Zilong, and he was not deployed by Brother Xuande. He is a subordinate of the White Horse General Gongsun Zan. I will say no to whether this can be changed." Calculate."

Li Chen stood up, walked towards the door with big strides, and said calmly: "Since what you say doesn't count, then find Gongsun Zan to talk to me. I don't care whether you send it or tie it, in short When I saw Zhao Zilong, I released Liu Xuande."

After finishing speaking, Li Chen left Yunlong Palace.

As soon as Li Chen left, Mi Zhu naturally turned around and went back to the mansion to discuss with Sun Qian.

Xuzhou, Mi Mansion.

"Brother Gongyou, Li Chen's request is exactly the same. Do you think General Gongsun can talk about it?" Mi Zhu looked at Sun Qian and asked frankly.

In Mi Zhu's view, it would be great if Zhao Yun could be replaced.After all, now that Liu Bei is in Li Chen's hands, even if Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian come to help, if they rob him by force, they will inevitably hurt Liu Bei, the hostage.

Today, Liu Bei's safety comes first.What Mi Zhu could think of, Sun Qian could naturally think of too.After pondering for a while, Sun Qian said: "When General Gongsun arrives, I will mention it to him. Given the friendship between General Gongsun and the Lord, this matter should not be a big problem."

Zhao Yun was just an inconspicuous young general under Gongsun Zan's command. In this era, it is not surprising that it is rare and common for people to befriend each other and ask for one or two generals from each other.

Temporarily protecting Liu Bei's safety, and getting Li Chen's exchange terms, Sun Qian can also leave the city to discuss with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

In Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's temporary camp, Guan Yu frowned when he heard Sun Qian's exchange terms, but he didn't say much.Although Guan Yu felt that this was a bit unfair, but for the safety of his elder brother, he didn't say much after all.

On the contrary, Zhang Fei yelled: "Change it, change it. If Zhao Zilong doesn't want to, I, Lao Zhang, will tie him up, and I will change the eldest brother back."

Chapter 36 Tao Qian's decision

Three days later, Danyang.

Danyang County belongs to the territory of Sun Jian of Eastern Wu, and this Danyang County is the ancestral land of Tao Qian.And because Danyang is not far from the territory of the Shanyue people, from time to time, some Shanyue people would come down the mountain to cause disaster, so Sun Jian of Eastern Wu did not have much control over this place.

Cao Cao once said: "Danyang is dangerous, the people are many and vigorous, good at martial arts, noble strength, and a land of elite soldiers."

It is also this sentence that made Danyang the place where the major warlords recruited soldiers during the Three Kingdoms period, and Danyang's elite soldiers can be said to be famous all over the world.

Sun Jian set his sights on the Central Plains, so he did not clean up the Shanyue people in the territory.However, the local Han people naturally could not let the Shanyue people bully them, so the local tyrants spontaneously formed forces and recruited young and strong to resist Shanyue.

It is said that Tao Qian led three thousand confidant soldiers back to Danyang, and was immediately honored as a guest of honor by the local county magistrate.There is no other, because Tao Qian's three thousand confidant soldiers are all elite soldiers, a regular army with complete armor.

To say that Tao Qian really knows the current affairs, he knows that although staying in Xuzhou can be a Xuzhou shepherd in name, he has also put himself in the center of the whirlpool.Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and even the smaller Yuan Shu, anyone can crush him to pieces.

Although this Danyang is small, he has money, food and soldiers here, and lives comfortably and worry-free.

However, Tao Qian wanted to avoid trouble, but trouble came to him by himself.

People of Tao Qian's age are most afraid of what, what they are most afraid of is not being safe at the end of the festival.Jian Yong is a lobbyist, and what he is good at is this kind of sophistry.Therefore, it is extremely accurate to judge people's hearts.

It was because of Tao Qian's mentality that Jian Yong came to Tao Qian with a big swagger, without hiding his whereabouts.

Danyang County is not big, so almost the whole of Danyang knew that Jian Yong came to Danyang and asked Tao Qian for help.

Danyang County, Tao Qian's residence.

After returning to Danyang, Tao Qian no longer had to worry about the future, and his health improved in Xuzhou. Today, he happened to be basking in the sun in the backyard garden.

"Push, push, push." ​​The pottery merchant rushed in from the outside, and whispered into his father Tao Qian's ear, "Father, Jian Yong has come to Danyang?"

"What?" Tao Qian stood up abruptly.

These days, Xuzhou City was tricked by Li Chen, and Cao Pi's two attacks were defeated, including Liu Bei's begging for Xiapi, which Tao Qian knew.

However, this is nothing to Tao Qian.Before he left, he handed over Xuzhou to Mi Zhu. For Tao Qian, I gave it to you. Whether Liu Bei is capable or not is your own business.But Tao Qian never expected that Jian Yong would come to Danyang.

The pottery merchant immediately murmured in his father's ear, telling about Liu Bei's defeat and capture, including the battle between the three heroes in Xuzhou city and Yucheng.

The more Tao Qian listened to it, the more frightened he became, and his complexion became clearer and clearer.Although he is old, he can guess Jian Yong's intentions.

Tao Qian said with a livid face, "He, Jian Yong, purposely announced his intentions. He is trying to defeat my army."

"Father, we have already handed over Xuzhou to them. Now that Liu Bei himself has been defeated and captured, he has peace with us." The pottery merchant said unhappily, obviously not wanting to go into this troubled water.

Tao Qian's complexion changed again and again, he gave up Xuzhou to stay away from the center of the storm.If it wasn't a last resort, he absolutely didn't want to go through the muddy waters of Xuzhou.But at this time because of Xuzhou, Jian Yong came to the door again, if he didn't help, it would be late.

When a person is about to die, the most important thing is the name behind him.No one wants to be cast aside like Zhang Rang and Dong Zhuo.

Speaking of which, Tao Qian still cherishes feathers.

If it were Cao Mengde, who would rather me bear the world than the world bear me, he would definitely say what he loves, what does it have to do with me Cao Mengde if you kill him Liu Xuande.

"Shang'er, how many new servants are there?" Tao Qian looked at his son and asked.

The potter pondered for a moment, then replied: "We have recruited more than [-] people so far. Our business has not yet spread out, so it is enough for the time being."

"Business can be done slowly. If you don't bring money with you, you won't take it with you when you die."

"Shang'er, go and call Cao Bao here." Tao Qian ordered.

Not long after, I saw a pottery merchant leading a rough man to see Tao Qian.

"My lord." Seeing Tao Qian, Cao Bao hastily bowed his hands and saluted.

Cao Bao is Tao Qian's absolute confidant. This can be seen from the fact that Tao Qian left Xuzhou, except for his own family and only brought Cao Bao, an outsider.

"Cao Bao, you are a general who fights on the battlefield. You haven't made a name for yourself yet, but it's a shame to be a domestic servant with me in this small Danyang. I intend to ask you to lead [-] elite soldiers back to help Liu Xuande and rescue Liu Xuande Afterwards, you can seek refuge with your own master. These three thousand elite soldiers will be compared to a promotion gift." Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao and said with piercing eyes.

When Cao Bao heard this, he immediately knelt down on one knee and expressed his opinion: "My lord and Cao Bao have the kindness of knowing each other, how can Cao Bao betray my lord."

When Tao Qian heard this, he hurriedly said, "I told you to go, so why talk about betrayal?"

Cao Bao also understood that Tao Qian had made up his mind, so he simply didn't want to shirk it, he just waited to bow his hands and said: "I am the master, since the master has made a decision, I can only act according to his orders."

"You can act with confidence, the family is urinating in Danyang. If I, Tao Qian, eat a bite of meat, I won't let your Cao Bao's wife and children drink soup." Tao Qian patted Cao Bao on the shoulder and said.

"No, if Cao Bao is outside, he will definitely not lose face to the lord." Cao Bao expressed his opinion.

Speaking of Jian Yong, he did not visit Tao Qian immediately when he came to Danyang, but first visited some local celebrities, and then intentionally or unintentionally stated the purpose of his trip. ,

Jian Yong put Tao Qian on fire, and Tao Qian naturally had a way to deal with it.

Before Jian Yong could go to Tao Qian's mansion, the pottery merchant came to him first.

At noon, Jian Yong had just returned to the inn from going out, and saw the pottery merchant waiting for him with Cao Bao.

"Brother Xianhe." Seeing Jian Yong, the potter hurriedly saluted.

Seeing Jian Yong, a pottery merchant, hastily greeted him, and asked with concern: "Has your father's health improved a lot?"

The pottery merchant replied: "After not worrying about Xuzhou's government affairs, my father's body has indeed been numbered a lot."

After some politeness, the pottery merchant said straight to the point: "My father already knows about the Xuzhou matter, and it happened because of Xuzhou. Naturally, my father will not sit idly by."

"When my Tao family moved back from Xuzhou to the ancestral land of Danyang, General Cao led three thousand elite soldiers to guard them. Today, my father entrusted me to hand General Cao and three thousand elite soldiers into the hands of brother Xianhe."

The Tao merchant has already understood what he said, my Tao family will give you three thousand elite soldiers, now you can go, don't disturb my stable life.

Jian Yong's purpose is to ask for help, now that the purpose has been achieved, naturally there is no need to make more entanglements.Hastily cupped his hands in thanks: "My lord, I would like to thank my lord first."

Chapter 37 The Betrayed Zhao Yun

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Jian Yong arrived in Danyang and invited three thousand soldiers from Tao Qian.On the other side, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong also happened to come to Youzhou.

Although Liu Yu is the shepherd of Youzhou now, almost all the military power in Youzhou is in the hands of Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping.Liu Yu is in charge of the entire Youzhou in name, and Gongsun Zan also surrenders to Liu Yu on the surface. The two are currently in a fairly mild honeymoon period.

According to the historical records of previous lives, the honeymoon period in which Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan were in charge of the government and the army by one person lasted for a long time.Whether it is Liu Yu or Gongsun Zan, they all belong to the kind of people who have no ambitions, and they are all people who want to manage Youzhou well.

Unexpectedly, the reason why the two fell out.It turned out that there was a disagreement in the strategy for dealing with the alien races in the grassland. Liu Yu advocated enlightenment for the alien races in the grassland, and wanted to use the Han people's culture to tame them.Gongsun Zan, on the other hand, advocated killing to stop killing. As for the prairie barbarians, the only way to make them obedient was to kill and fear them.

It is precisely because of the different understandings of "corporateization" that the two can kill each other.Liu Yu had no soldiers in his hands, so he could only attract Yuan Shao to deal with Gongsun Zan, which eventually led to Gongsun Zan's death.

Gongsun Zan has no bad deeds, and most of his records are fighting against aliens.Adding the slogan of Baima Yicong, "Where righteousness lies, life and death follow each other! The sky can learn from it, and the white horse is the proof." It is enough to fool many young people in the second year of middle school to die for Gongsun Zan.

Zhao Yun, for example, is such a second-year middle school youth.

Gongsun Zan is very loyal, or in other words, he is talking about loyalty.This is his advantage, but also his disadvantage.

Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei are brothers of the same school. They both studied under Lu Zhi, a great scholar in the late Han Dynasty.The brother Gongsun Zan did it, and everyone should give him a thumbs up.

Since the battle of the Yellow Turban against the rebellion, Gongsun Zan has been extremely benevolent to Liu Bei.Liu Bei gave people when he wanted them, and he gave money when Liu Bei wanted them. It can be said that he spared no effort to support Liu Bei.

"Kick, kick, kick."

As soon as he entered the border of Youzhou, Zhao Yun rushed straight to the border of Beiping. At this time, Gongsun Zan was usually in the army camp.

Galloping all the way, Zhao Yun came to Gongsun Zan's camp.After some inquiring, it was only then that Gongsun Zan had led troops to inspect the border.The grassland is vast, and it is definitely impossible to find it. In desperation, we can only wait for the time being.

After waiting for about two full hours, he saw a white horse cavalry not far away.

When the cavalry entered the camp, Gongsun Zan dismounted and handed the white horse to his followers.At this time, Zhao Yun rushed up to greet him, cupped his fists and said, "My lord."

Seeing Zhao Yun, Gongsun Zan was stunned for a moment, thinking that this person looked familiar, but couldn't remember.At this time, a general beside him reminded: "This is a small school you lent to General Liu, named Zhao Yun."

At this time, Zhao Yun was just a member of Baima Yicong, and he didn't leave any impression on Gongsun Zan.It also happened that Liu Bei saw Zhao Yun's martial arts, so he borrowed it from Gongsun Zan.

Logically speaking, I, Gongsun Zan, treated you like this.You Liu Bei discovered Zhao Yun's talent, you should remind me at least.However, instead of reminding Liu Bei, he deceived people away by cheating and abducting.The most important thing is that Gongsun Zan doesn't have any generals under his command, but Liu Bei has Guan Yu and Zhang Fei instead.

It can also be seen from this detail that Gongsun Zan really has a heart for Liu Bei, Liu Bei is also a real dog, Gongsun Zan is feeding his conscience to the dog.

Gongsun Zan looked at Zhao Yun, and asked with a smile, "You're not working by Xuande's side, why are you back?"

When Gongsun Zan asked this question, Zhao Yun immediately told Gongsun Zan what had happened these days back and forth like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

"What, Xuande was captured?" Gongsun Zan said in shock.

"That's right, my lord, General Liu has been captured," Zhao Yun said solemnly.

I have to say that Gongsun Zan is a fastidious person.Hearing that Liu Bei was captured, he didn't even think about it, and said directly to his brother Gongsun Yue: "I ordered three thousand white horses to rescue Xuande, and I will hand them over to you at the border in a few days."
