S-level auxiliary system: All the heroes of the ages are for my own use

Tao Qian thought about it, so he hurriedly asked the soldiers to bring his son, the counselors and the generals to discuss the matter.

After receiving Tao Qian's order, the soldiers got up and ran out. Tao Qian also quickly asked the maids to help him dress, and went to the front hall to wait for everyone to come.

Tao Qian came to the front hall, and after waiting for a short time, he saw his son Tao Shang hurried over.

When the potter saw his father's first words, he hurriedly asked:

"Father, I don't know why the child is so anxious to come here?"

Tao Qian signaled his son not to worry, and asked his son to stand beside him, waiting for others to come.

Not long after, other people trotted into the hall. Tao Qian saw that everyone had arrived, coughed, and said solemnly to everyone:

"Just now the city gate guards came to report that Cao Cao has dispatched 20 troops to the outside of the city. This time I asked you to come here to discuss countermeasures. I wonder if you have any strategies to retreat from the enemy?"

When everyone heard that Cao Cao had opened it again, they all became afraid. They all knew that although Xuzhou's troops could compete with Cao's army, they were not very good leaders!

After hearing this, the pottery merchant looked angry and said:

"Cao thief is too deceitful, we will fight with Cao thief!"

Everyone listened to the potter's words, but they didn't take it seriously. At this time, one person stood up and said:

"I think we still have to ask other princes for help. No one was willing to be an enemy of Cao Cao before, but now the princes of the world are eager to make a move. Maybe some people don't want Cao Cao to get Xuzhou. Let's give it a try."

Tao Qian looked at the speaker, it turned out to be Chen Deng, and felt that what Chen Deng said made sense, so he said:

"Yuanlong is right. Now all the princes in the world want to get a bigger territory. Cao Cao is very powerful. If Cao Cao gets Xuzhou, it will be a threat to them."

Chen Gui said:

"My lord, I also agree with my son Yuanlong's proposal. If it's just us, it will be difficult to resist Cao Jun."

After hearing this, Tao Qian asked again:

"Who should be sent to rescue the soldiers this time?"

After hearing this, the pottery merchant looked at Chen Deng, and the pottery merchant replied:

"Father, since Brother Yuanlong proposed, why not let Brother Yuanlong go, I believe that with Brother Yuanlong's intelligence, he will definitely be able to persuade those princes to come to rescue Xuzhou."

Chen Deng knew that this was his first day, even if the potter didn't mention it, he was ready to recommend himself, so Chen Deng stood up and said:

"Deng is willing to serve the Lord, and go to the princes to rescue soldiers!"

Chen Gui looked at his son and was very satisfied, but he was also a little worried about his son.

Seeing that Chen Deng agreed, and that Chen Gui didn't come forward to stop him, Tao Qian also nodded in agreement, so he looked at Cao Bao who was beside him, and said to Zhang Kai and others:

"I don't know how many of you can withstand Cao Jun's attack?"

Cao Bao and Zhang Kai stood up and said:

"Please don't worry, my lord. If it's a charge, we can't guarantee that we can repel Cao's army, but if we defend the city, we won't be afraid of them!"

Tao Qian was very pleased to hear what Cao Bao and others said, and said:

"Xuzhou depends on you! I hope you will work together to repel the Cao thief and keep Xuzhou safe!"

After Tao Qian finished speaking, he ordered everyone to act quickly, and everyone quickly retreated.

After walking out of the prefect's mansion, Chen Gui grabbed his son and asked:

"My son is going to rescue soldiers this time. Be careful along the way and bring more guards."

Chen Deng looked at his worried father, and comforted him in a low voice:

"Father, don't worry, the reason why I am willing to go out of the city to ask for help this time is not only for this purpose, but also to take this opportunity to make friends with other princes, or people under the command of other princes. If Xuzhou is captured, our father and son will also be able to rely on others in the future. Saving lives is the most important thing."

Chen Gui was very relieved to hear his son's words, he never thought that his son was so smart, he had already found a way out before the war started.

The two father and son went back while walking, while Cao Bao, Zhang Kai and others came to the city wall and looked outside the city. Sure enough, Cao Cao's army had already begun to set up camp.

Cao Bao ordered the soldiers to move the rolling stones and trees to the city wall of Xuzhou to prepare for a battle with Cao Jun.

Everyone went to work. In the prefect's mansion, the pottery merchant said to his father:

"Father, it seems that Cao Cao is determined to take down my Xuzhou this time."

Seeing that only his son was left alone, Tao Qian changed his face and said:

"That's right. Now I, Xuzhou, have no generals who can compete with Cao Cao's army. I'm afraid it will be a matter of time before the city is broken. Then you can lead your family out of the city and flee for your life."

When Tao Shang heard that his father had given up any hope for Xuzhou, he hurriedly said:

"Father, won't you come with us?"

Tao Qian looked frustrated, and said:

"If I escape from Xuzhou, the Xuzhou soldiers will be disappointed, and if Cao Cao can't find me after the city is broken, he will definitely send troops to chase after me, and none of us will be able to escape."

The potter said anxiously:

"Maybe, Chen Deng can bring reinforcements back. Father needn't be so depressed."

Tao Qian shook his head, his face became even uglier, and he said:

"The last time Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, you asked for help. You know better than me what the attitudes of the princes are. They didn't want to offend Cao Cao before, but now that Cao Cao is powerful, they will not come to offend Cao Cao. If possible, maybe Liaodong Liu Xuan, and Yuan Shao from Jizhou, they are the only two who are not afraid of Cao Cao!"

After hearing what his father said, the Tao merchant's eyes lit up, and he said:

"Father, my son is willing to go to Liaodong and Jizhou to ask for help. As long as one of them is willing to rescue us, then the crisis in Xuzhou can be easily solved."

Tao Qian looked up at his son, then lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said:

"If you want to go, go. If you can really let them come to rescue Xuzhou, tell them that we are willing to pay 20 dan of food and grass as a thank you gift!"

The potter was startled when he heard this, and said with a bit of pain:

"Father's 20 dan of food and grass, is it too much?"

Tao Qian said helplessly:

"Not much, as long as they are willing, don't say 20, even if it is 30, you have to promise them that the food and grass are gone, you can buy them again. If Xuzhou City is gone, your life and mine will probably end."

The pottery merchant knew the seriousness of the matter, so he nodded and said:

"My son knows, please wait at ease, father, I will go out to Jizhou and Liaodong immediately."

Tao Qian told the potter a few words, asked him to bring more guards, and then let the potter out.
