Tao Qian felt embarrassed when he saw Zuo Rong rebut.
Seeing someone take the lead, Cavalry Commandant Sun Guan also said,""The position of Xu Prefecture's governor is a heavy responsibility. The governor had previously favored Liu Bei, so why did he suddenly recommend Xu Xiao today?”
The news of Tao Qian giving in to Xu Prefecture had already spread throughout Xu Prefecture.
Although Sun Guan was not convinced by Liu Bei, Liu Bei was still a relative of the Han clan.
But Xu Xiao?
It was just a reputation of filial piety and honesty.
Everyone present.
How many of them did not have the reputation of filial piety?
If Xu Xiao could be the governor of Xu Prefecture, Sun Guan believed that he could be the governor of Xu Prefecture too!
Cavalry Commandant Zang Ba also said," Lord Provincial Governor, I have to do my best for my brothers. Although I respect County Magistrate Xu's filial piety, I hope that my brothers can have enough to eat!”
Guangling Prefecture Governor Zhao Yu frowned. Compared to the other three, Zhao Yu's tone was calm."Lord Provincial Governor, is there a secret?”
Mi Zhu, Wang Lang, Chen Deng and Cao Bao remained silent.
Mei Zhu knew the truth while Chen Deng was observing.
As for Wang Lang, in another half a month, he would be relieved of his post as the governor of Xuzhou and head to Kuaiji.
Whether Xu Prefecture was given to Liu Bei or Xu Xiao had nothing to do with Wang Lang!
There was no need to offend anyone at this time!
And although Cao Bao similarly despised Xu Xiao, he was Tao Qian's confidant. It was impossible for him to refute Tao Qian's words on such an occasion.
Four people refuted Tao Qian's decision in succession, which made Tao Qian's expression turn uglier and uglier.
But it was also because of this.
Tao Qian wanted Xu Zhou to give Xu Xiao even more affection!
Whether it was Zang Ba and Sun Guan who followed him at the beginning, or Zuo Rong and Zhao Yu who followed him later, none of them were worth entrusting their lives to.
And Wang Lang was even more so.
He was about to become the prefect of Kuaiji, so how could he take care of his children and grandchildren?
As for Mi Zhu and Chen Deng.
Mi Zhu wanted to support Liu Bei. Although Chen Deng was a straightforward person, his father, Chen Gui, was an old fox. He would not do anything that did not benefit him!
Although Cao Bao was a trusted aide.
However, Tao Qian could still suppress him. If Tao Qian died, Cao Bao would not be loyal to his two unambitious sons!
Tao Qian secretly sighed, and his eyes became clearer.
"Liu Bei has already left Xuzhou!”
What was that?
Sun Guan was shocked. He exchanged glances with Zang Ba and saw the shock in the other's eyes.
How could Liu Bei leave Xuzhou?
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell.
Liu Bei was just being modest to avoid being criticized.
As long as Tao Qian gave in once more, Liu Bei would definitely accept the position of Xu Prefecture Governor!
How could Liu Bei leave at a time like this?
"Governor, why did Liu Bei leave Xuzhou?" Sun Guan asked in a deep voice.”
At this moment.
Xu Xiao had almost seen the situation of the entire banquet.
This was a group of proud soldiers, valiant generals, and powerful ministers.
No wonder Tao Qian wanted to give up Xu Prefecture.
With such an official, once Tao Qian died, the Xuzhou civil and military officials would not be able to support Tao Qian's two sons to rule!
"He asked Tao Shang to welcome me, and he even prepared to send the Xu Prefecture Governor to me. Tao Qian is giving his two sons a way out!”
Xu Xiao's thoughts were clear and instantly guessed Tao Qian's intentions.
Before Tao Qian could continue.
Xu Xiao put down the wine cup and answered Sun Guan's question, which seemed to be asking but had a questioning tone,""Correct me, Liu Bei didn't leave Xuzhou, he fled Xuzhou!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Sun Guan was shocked again!
Escape?
What was going on?
Did we miss any news?
Zuo Rong, Zhao Yu, Zang Ba, and the others also looked at Xu Xiao in shock!
Xu Xiao stood up and bowed to Tao Qian."Lord Provincial Governor, since you intend to give Xu Prefecture to me, then I, Xu Xiao, will not be polite and accept it! I have a very good conversation with those who are engaged in classics and learning. His talent and knowledge can educate Xuzhou scholars, and he is worthy of great responsibility.”
Xu Xiao first gave Tao Qian a guarantee, then he swept his gaze over Zuo Rong, Sun Guan, and the others. His tone became tough,
"As for everyone present, if you have doubts in your hearts, or if you don't accept me, Xu Xiao.”
"That's not important!"
"Because…"
"Provincial Governor Tao doesn't need the recommendation of the provincial governor of Xu Prefecture.”
Xu Xiao's arrogance.
Immediately, everyone at the banquet was furious!
Tao Qian remained silent.
He had already achieved his goal. Xu Xiao had actually given him a guarantee. Now, it would depend on whether Xu Xiao could suppress Xu Zhou's civil and military officials!
Suppress.
The letter of recommendation could be sent to Chang 'an immediately!
He couldn't suppress it.
Then Tao Qian could only find another expert!
"Xu Xiao, you dare to underestimate us?"
"Without us, do you think you can govern Xuzhou?”
"Hah! I'm afraid your decree won't even be able to leave the Provincial Governor's Office!”
Ze Rong raised his head again and stared at Xu Xiao with hatred!
Sun Guan also sneered." Xu Xiao, you're not the governor of Xu Prefecture yet, and you're already so arrogant. If you become the governor of Xu Prefecture, won't you want to dismiss us from our posts?"”
Zang Ba and Zhao Yu's expressions were also filled with unhappiness.
But the two of them did not speak!
"You are very smart, Minister of Xiapi!”
Xu Xiao's gaze was sharp. The way he looked at Zuo Rong was like a sharp knife!
"Ze Rong, don't think that I don't know that although you are supervising the grain transportation of Pengcheng, Xiapi, and Guangling, you have been stuffing your own pockets. You have built luxurious Buddhist temples, forged gold and copper Buddhas, and even demanded a large amount of money from the pilgrims!”
"When I became the governor of Xu Prefecture, the first person I killed was you!”
"Xu Xiao, how dare you!" Who in Xu Prefecture can submit to you?"
Tao Qian knew about Ze Rong's matter long ago.
However, Tao Qian was powerless to manage it.
But Xu Xiao was different!
Xu Prefecture would never allow people like Ze Rong to appear!
"I even dared to kill Zhang Fei, why can't I kill you?”
"Ze Rong, I know you have your private army, but I defeated Liu Bei. Do you think you can stop me?”
Hiss!
Everyone gasped!
Just now, he was still wondering why Liu Bei would flee from Xuzhou.
How was this escaping?
This was a huge defeat!
Not only that.
Even Zhang Fei was killed!
Who present didn't know of Zhang Fei's bravery?
Especially Zang Ba and Sun Guan, they were looking at Xu Xiao with fear in their eyes!
The civil servant might not understand Zhang Fei's bravery.
However, Zang Ba and Sun Guan were deeply moved!
Ze Rong's expression changed, and he immediately drew his sword.""Xu Xiao, you dare to kill me? Do you think I won't dare to kill you?”
Tsk ~
A light laugh.
Ding Xiaoxiu bit on the straw and put down the Qi family knife.
Seeing this, Zang Ba and Sun Guan stood up and pressed their hands on their swords.
The situation instantly became tense!
Zhao Yu suddenly stood up and looked at Tao Qian."Lord Provincial Governor, are you really going to let Xu Prefecture be given to Xu Xiao?”
Tao Qian held the wine cup. His seemingly turbid old eyes were unusually sharp."I'm not dead yet!"
