When Mi Zhu heard that Tao Qian was going to Xiapi, he felt terrible.
He had spent a lot of money and food on Tao Qian just so that the Mei Clan of Eastern Sea could become a true aristocratic family like the Chen Clan of Xiapi!
In the end.
Tao Qian actually wanted to run?
So be it. A strategic retreat was nothing.
However, what made Mi Zhu's heart feel stifled was that Tao Qian actually didn't ask him to run with him!
"Tao Gongzu is his mother!"
Even if Mi Zhu had a good temper, he couldn't help but curse at this moment!
"Brother, Tao Qian is an ungrateful person. Why don't you surrender to Cao Cao?”Mi Zhu's younger brother, Mi Fang, was also indignant.
Mi Zhu shook his head,"We can't surrender to Cao Cao!" Although I, Mi Zhu, am the governor of Xu Prefecture, I am only a merchant.”
"With Tao Qian around, I still have some weight as the governor of Xu Province. Without Tao Qian, I, Mei Zhu, am no different from an ordinary merchant in Cao Cao's eyes!”
"Moreover, Cao Cao doesn't lack women. We won't get much benefits if my little sister marries him!”
Mi Zhu worshiped Qin Minister Lu Buwei, and the way he nurtured his little sister was also based on the standards of a young lady from a noble family!
Not only was she well-read and polite, but she also had the demeanor of a mother to the world!
Xuzhou scholars did not support Tao Qian, Mi Zhu with money to open the way, became Xuzhou do not drive.
However, when Cao Cao came, he, Mei Zhu, was nothing!
Mei Zhu's reminder made Mei Fang aware of the problem and she said worriedly,""Brother, what should we do now?”
Mi Zhu's eyes flashed with wisdom." Zifang, pack up all the valuables in the house and choose the best of the guards!”
"Once Tao Qian leaves Tancheng, we will follow him to Xiapi!”
"As long as Tao Qian is still alive, I, Mei Zhu, will be the governor of Xu Prefecture!”
"As long as there's life, there's hope!”
……
Cao Cao's camp outside Tancheng.
Man Chong sent the list of Tancheng's surrendered generals to Cao Cao.
"My lord, it has been three days since the declaration of surrender.”
"There are more than a dozen surrender documents thrown from the tower of Tancheng.”
"My lord's plan to sow discord has worked!”
Cao Cao's sharp eyes swept across.
Full Pet's notes were very detailed. Between the lines, Cao Cao had already seen through the mystery.
"They are all Yellow Turban generals!”
"Zhang Kai's betrayal made Tao Qian no longer trust the Yellow Turban generals!”
Cao Cao laughed coldly.
The soldiers of Qingzhou were all from the Yellow Turban background, but Cao Cao dared to use them!
In the end, it was Tao Qian who did not take the Yellow Turban generals seriously and was biased towards the Danyang soldiers. He could not use both kindness and intimidation!
"My lord, Tao Qian has been in battle for a long time. He definitely knows my lord's intentions!”
"However, Tao Qian allowed the Yellow Turban generals of Tancheng to do as they pleased. This subordinate believes that there must be a trap!”
Although Man Chong couldn't guess what he was willing to do, his intuition told him that Tao Qian must be plotting something!
Cao Cao sneered and said calmly,""There are only two possibilities."
"First, Tao Qian deliberately used the Yellow Turban generals to confuse me and set up an ambush in the city!”
"Second, Tao Qian wants to run!"
Man Chong was shocked." My lord, if Tao Qian runs, he will definitely go to Xiapi. Xiapi City is easier to defend than Tancheng!"”
"If Tao Qian goes to Xiapi and lets the tiger return to the mountain, there will be endless trouble!”
Cao Cao shook his head slightly." Bo Ning, Tao Qian is just a small problem. I can win more than ten rounds in a row. I'm not afraid of him making a comeback!"”
"Our army has been out for a long time, and our rations are about to run out. Even though Tan City has money and rations, the soldiers are also tired.”
"Tao Qian will defend Xiapi to the death, and Yuan Shu will not sit idly by. At that time, our army will definitely be in a stalemate in Xiapi.”
"If there is another riot in Yanzhou at this time, I will be homeless!”
As the battle progressed, Cao Cao's suspicion of Zhao Mu's identity as a transmigrator lessened.
Zhao Mu said that the entire Yanzhou rebelled, which made Cao Cao more and more uneasy!
It was easy to attack a city, but difficult to defend a home!
Once Yanzhou changed and the army was trapped in Xiapi, the foundation that they had built up over the years would be for nothing!
Cao Cao didn't want to continue being Yuan Shao's subordinate like Chunyu Qiong!
"Pass down the order to withdraw all the troops from the south gate and gather them at the east gate!”
"Regardless of whether Tao Qian wanted to run or ambush us in the city, I, Cao Cao, have already received his attack!”
……
Taishan County, Gao County.
Zhao Mu's group arrived safely.
When the Taishan Prefecture Governor heard the news, he quickly drove out to welcome them.
"We're finally here!"
Cao Song heaved a sigh of relief!
Once they reached Feng Gao County, there wouldn't be any danger!
"Jing Lue, it's all thanks to you!”
"This old man is a man of his word. After resting for a day, this old man will introduce you to someone!”
Cao Song was all smiles, clearly already very cordial towards Zhao Mu.
On the other hand, Cao Ang was unhappy along the way.
Because the person that Cao Song was going to introduce tomorrow was also the person that Cao Ang did not want to introduce to Zhao Mu the most!
