Xuzhou, the official road.
White robes, silver armor, and a silver spear, a hundred riders stepping on the dust!
Such a vast and mighty aura attracted the attention of the nobles and commoners along the way!
"Are these cavalrymen from Xiao Pei?"
"Since when did Xiao Pei have cavalry?”
"You must be ignorant! The brother-in-law of my Second Master's younger brother's daughter-in-law's grandchild's godmother is on duty in Xiaopei. This is the personal cavalry of the county magistrate of Pei County, Xu Xiao. In the west of Xiaopei, 800 broke 3,000 and chased Liu Bei out of Xiaopei!”
"How is that possible? That Liu Bei had scared Cao Cao away with a single letter! How could he be chased out of Xiao Pei by a county magistrate!”
"Forget it! He even sent a letter to scare off Cao Cao. That was because Lu Bu had attacked Yanzhou and even Cao Cao's hometown had been stolen. He would definitely take advantage of the situation to do a favor!”
"This County Magistrate Xu's cavalry is heading in the direction of Peng City.”
"Fight my ass! That was the order from Provincial Governor Tao to invite County Magistrate Xu to a banquet, and he even emphasized that he wanted to see the Snow Dragon Cavalry that defeated Liu Bei!”
"How do you know? How did you know it was called the Snowy Dragon Knights and not the White Robe Army?”
"Tsk! As I said just now, the brother-in-law of my Second Master's younger brother's daughter-in-law's grandchild's godmother is working in Xiao Pei! I'm looking for someone to use my connections to go to Xiao Pei as well!”
"I'm envious!"
The Snowy Dragon Riders trod on the dust.
At the very front.
They were Xu Xiao, who was wearing the county magistrate's uniform, and Ding Baiying, who was cold and aloof.
And Ding Xiaoxiu, who was carrying the Qi family's saber and biting a straw, with an unruly expression on his face.
Pengcheng Pass.
There were already officials waiting there.
"County Magistrate Xu, I am a potter in Xuzhou. I have been ordered by the provincial governor to wait here!”
Tao Shang?
Xu Xiao was slightly stunned.
Tao Qian's son?
"Tao Dianxue, are you from the same clan as the Provincial Governor?" Xu Xiao returned the greeting.”
"I'm the eldest son of the Provincial Governor," Tao Shang said with a smile.”
He was really Tao Qian's son!
Xu Xiao was surprised.
He was a little puzzled that Tao Qian would let his eldest son come to welcome him!
They exchanged a few pleasantries.
"Can my Snow Dragon Riders enter the city?" Xu Xiao asked.”
This time, coming to Peng City, Xu Xiao already had plans for the worst.
After all, Tao Qian conceded to Xu Zhou.
But now, Liu Bei had been defeated by Xu Xiao and escaped.
If Tao Qian was suspicious, he would definitely have conflicts with Xu Xiao.
Although the battle report and confession could give Xu Xiao some righteousness, this ultimately still depended on Tao Qian's attitude towards this matter!
If Tao Qian wanted to become enemies with Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao did not mind attacking Peng City!
With the eight hundred Snow Dragon Cavalry, Xu Xiao already had the qualifications to rule over a region!
Even if his reputation wasn't enough!
However, the Snow Dragon Knights were absolutely loyal to Xu Xiao.
He would definitely not be instigated to defect!
If his Reputation Points were not enough, he would kill his way out!
"Of course!" Tao Shang laughed. Father also wanted to meet the valiant cavalry under County Magistrate Xu!”
.....
Eight hundred Snow Dragon Cavalry stepped into Peng City in unison.
Just one look was enough to make one feel intimidated!
Tao Shang secretly praised," As expected of the Snowy Dragon Cavalry that could defeat Liu Bei's 3,000-strong army. They follow orders strictly, and their formation is strict. They are far superior to Cao Bao's 5,000-strong cavalry!"”
Xuzhou also had cavalry.
However, Tao Shang felt that Cao Bao's 5,000 cavalry was not as intimidating as the 100 Snow Dragon Cavalry!
Tao Shang even had a strange thought.
Could Cao Bao defeat a Snow Dragon Knight?
"Strange?"
"There's something wrong with this route."
This was not Xu Xiao's first time in Xuzhou.
The route from the West City Gate to the Provincial Governor's Office was not the one they were taking now!
Tao Shang's route was equivalent to the Snow Dragon Riders circling the inner city of Xu Prefecture!
However, Xu Xiao did not point it out!
He only secretly gave a hand signal to the Snow Dragon Cavalry's cavalrymen.
An hour later.
Xu Xiao arrived near the Provincial Governor's Estate.
Tao Shang invited," Magistrate Xu, the Snowy Dragon Cavalry will stay here for the time being. The Provincial Governor has already prepared a banquet in the manor!"”
Xu Xiao dismounted.
"Bai Ying, Xiao Xiu, follow me. The rest of you, stand by!”
"No order, don't move!"
Stepping into the Provincial Governor's Estate, Xu Xiao saw everyone attending the banquet.
Other than Tao Qian's trusted aide, the commander of the Danyang Soldiers, Cao Bao, the other two were also present.
Mi Zhu, Wang Lang, Chen Deng, the Commandant of Agriculture, and even Zang Ba, the Commandant of Cavalry in Langya Town, Sun Guan, the Commandant of Cavalry in Donghai Town, Zuo Rong, the Prime Minister of Xiapi, and Zhao Yu, the Governor of Guangling, all came to the banquet.
These people.
They were all civil and military officials that Tao Qian valued the most!
Seeing Xu Xiao, Tao Qian laughed loudly and warmly welcomed him,"County Magistrate Xu, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you!”
Xu Xiao returned the greeting.”
Xu Xiao glanced at the seats and found that only the first seat on Tao Qian's left was empty!
He frowned.
Xu Xiao was puzzled.
What was Tao Qian doing?
Tao Qian didn't know what Xu Xiao was thinking, but he warmly invited Xu Xiao to sit down at the last empty seat.
He didn't understand Tao Qian's intentions.
But Xu Xiao still sat down calmly!
Suddenly.
A cold snort sounded.
It was Zuo Rong, the prime minister of Xiapi. Seeing Xu Xiao sit down calmly, he was a little dissatisfied!
Zuo Rong was the Prime Minister of Xiapi and was trusted by Tao Qian. He was in charge of the military rations in Xiapi, Pengcheng, and Guangling. He had great power.
He originally thought that Tao Qian was going to invite some important person.
After all, even Zang Ba, Sun Guan and Zhao Yu had come to Peng City from their respective counties.
However, he never thought that…
It was actually a small Pei County Magistrate?
Not only was Zuo Rong unhappy, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and Zhao Yu, these four people who held great power, also looked at Xu Xiao with unfriendly gazes.
Chen Deng and Wang Lang were bewildered and didn't know what Tao Qian's intentions were.
The only one who knew the truth was Mei Zhu, who shook his head with a bitter smile.
He had already guessed Tao Qian's motive!
Now that Liu Bei had been defeated by Xu Xiao, not only did Tao Qian not blame him, but he even treated him with great hospitality and called his most trusted subordinates back to Peng City.
There was only one reason!
Xu Xiao replaced Liu Bei and became Tao Qian's candidate to ensure the prosperity of the Tao clan in Xu Prefecture!
As expected.
After introducing each other and exchanging pleasantries.
Tao Qian suddenly put down his wine cup and sighed."Although Cao Cao retreated, it was only because Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou. Now, Cao Cao and Lu Bu had stopped fighting because their rations had been exhausted. Without the hidden danger of Lu Bu, they would definitely attack Xuzhou again next year!”
"This old man is old, and my two sons can't bear the responsibility!”
"The current county magistrate of Pei County, Xu Xiao, is brave and good at fighting. He is also famous for his filial piety and honesty. This old man has the intention to recommend County Magistrate Xu to be the governor of Xuzhou!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Everyone was shocked!
Zuo Rong slammed the table and stood up." Xu Xiao is only a child. He hasn't been crowned yet. What qualifications does he have to be the governor of Xu Prefecture?"”
