When the episode caused by Yu Xian came to an end, the minds of these princes from all directions changed a little.

Going back to Zhongmou seems to have become meaningless.

Zhu Jun, the important minister Yuansu who once assumed the expectations of countless people, fell to the ground suddenly as if he had risen suddenly.

He ambitiously thought that he could deal with rebellious officials and thieves, and rely on his political wisdom to influence this era on the cusp of the storm.

But I never thought that this world can never be easily changed.

Countless contradictions surge, and countless interests converge.

The final result is that the general trend of the world chooses people, not people can subvert the general trend of the world.

As the old Taoist Chong Xuanzi said, "The destiny is to let the hoe know that it should plow the ground, let the knife and ax know that it should chop, make the bells and chimes ring like gold, and make the utensils of defecation willing to be obscene."

If heaven needs a hoe, the hoe will be awakened by the demon.If God needs a sword and ax, the sword and ax will be awakened by the demon.If the sky needs the bell, the bell will be awakened by the demon.If heaven needs a device for defecation, the device for defecation will be awakened by the demon.

But if a toothpick thinks he is big and pretentious and wants to be a cotton swab, he will quickly lose the favor of the general trend just like Zhu Jun.

As the saying goes, "the heaven and the earth have the same force in time and time, but heroes are not free when they are transported away."

Taishi Zhu Jun, the man who was enough to change the world, went to Chang'an full of ambition, and was finally killed in the barracks of Xiliang soldiers...

After Tao Qian left, he immediately went to see Cao Bao, who had strong military power in his hands.

Although Xuzhou sent troops from all counties and states this time, the soldiers are still in the hands of Che Zhou and Cao Bao.

Leaving aside Che Zhou, as long as Cao Bao manages to detain the 500 people in his hands, then Tao Qian will have the capital to rely on.

Tao Qian and Cao Bao had a good friendship, and when Tao Qian spoke out what was in his heart, Cao Bao was very appreciative, and immediately patted his chest for full support.

Cao Bao remembered that the Mi family brothers had the idea of ​​going into politics, and immediately took Tao Qian to meet Mi Fang who was about to leave.

Mi Fang was also extremely moved after hearing this.

The Mi brothers are rich, but in such troubled times, the rich are the most insecure.

Although Xuzhou Mu was an empty shell in Tao Qian's hands, with the huge wealth of the Mi family and the support of the army in Cao Bao's hands, Xuzhou Mu could become a powerful official in the frontier.

The Mi family can also take this opportunity to share some power and gain the sense of security they want.

Mi Fang thought about it for a while, and immediately agreed decisively, "Even if my brother is not around, I can also be the master. Since the state shepherd is appointed by the imperial court, he should naturally have the real power to match it. Helping the state shepherd is an act of righteousness." .”

Tao Qian was very happy to be successful as a teacher.

He enthusiastically sat down holding the hands of Cao Bao and Mi Fang.

"Since we are working together, we don't have to be so polite. Let's count together, see what resources we have now, and what else we need to prepare."

After finishing speaking, Tao Qian looked at the two people beside him with a smile.

Although he is an empty state shepherd right now, he actually has a little secret.

That is, he is actually from Danyang.

Anyone who has watched "The Jackal and the Lady" knows that although the Danyang soldiers are pitiful, their combat effectiveness is still very fierce.

As long as he returns to his hometown and ascends the heights, it will not be a problem to recruit hundreds or thousands of elite soldiers.

Since Mi Fang planned to board Tao Qian's boat, she naturally wanted to show her sincerity.

He immediately took the initiative to speak.

"Money, food, horses, my Mi family has everything."

"Although there is no pig iron right now, there are more than [-] pieces of fine iron agricultural tools in my warehouse. There are no less than a hundred blacksmiths in my family all year round, and they can make weapons at any time."

"The only troublesome thing is the manpower. Although my Mi family has tens of thousands of servants, but right now I am rushing to grab the autumn harvest. Only half of the able-bodied people that can be drawn out are more than [-]. And there are many brave and ruthless people among the diners. , but there are not many who can form troops, these are all problems."

After Mi Fang finished speaking, Tao Qian and Cao Bao couldn't help but look at each other.

You can rebel against yourself.

As a colleague, Cao Bao panicked even more.

What should I say myself?

Although he has some soldiers in his hands, they are all soldiers from various counties and countries. It is still unknown how many can be left behind.

Besides, what else can I do?

Pretty daughter?

Tao Qian and Cao Bao were in embarrassment when Mi Fang suddenly said, "However, there is one person who may be able to use it."

Tao Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly changed the topic, "Oh? Who is it?"

Mi Fang said, "When I saw you off today, the Yaodao said something, did Zhou Mu pay attention?"

Tao Qian thought for a while and asked, "Liu Xuande?"

Mi Fang nodded, "That's right! Although that monster is a disaster for the country, with his status and status, even a casual praise is not something ordinary people can ignore. Besides, he is serious and calls Liu Xuande a hero in the world. This Liu Xuande must be There is something special about him.”

"I immediately sent a steward to inquire with the entourage in Youzhou after the incident. This Liu Xuande is a clan member of the Han family. He fought hard in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and won a small official position. Later, he was dismissed by the court because of trivial matters. Now he votes in the old Under senior brother Gongsun Zan's camp, although they are very close, they don't have the authority to exercise their hands and feet."

"This is a man who can fight. If the state shepherd Xu takes the position of Qianshi and adds some soldiers and horses to him, it should be enough to make his heart move."

Tao Qian was a little suspicious after hearing this.

"This monster was nothing ordinary before, but now it is because of me that he has achieved his reputation. He is young, so it is not surprising that he speaks a little nonsense."

To put it bluntly, Yu Xian's personalities were scolded by them.

It is precisely because they want to please Dong Bai and make Yu Xian resist Dong Zhuo's scapegoats that everyone accuses Yu Xian of various crimes.

Isn't such a villain who commits all kinds of evil and harms the country and the people scary?

Of course it's terrible!

Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

Outsiders may not understand such a big demon king of parallel imports, but those who were present knew it very well.

Seeing that Mi Fang was still unwilling to give up, Tao Qian smiled and said, "I have also considered this matter. I have a hero in Xuzhou who can lead the army to compete with all parties."

After hearing this, Mi Fang subconsciously thought about the characters in Xiazhou, "Oh? I don't know who the state pastor said?"

Tao Qian laughed, "It's Chen Gui's son, Dongyang County Magistrate Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong."

Cao Bao couldn't help frowning as he listened, "What kind of talent does this son have that can make Zhou Mu value him so much?"

Cao Bao couldn't help being entangled in this matter.

You must know that the team in front of you is obviously the one who should be in charge of the army.Tao Qian found someone else to lead the army, and even threatened that he would be a hero who could compete with all directions. Isn't this a slap in the face of himself?

Besides, who is the magistrate of Dongyang County?

In the Han system, large counties had magistrates and small counties had magistrates.

The magistrate of a large county can reach a thousand stones, while the magistrate of a small county has two specifications.

Small county, four hundred stones; small county mini, three hundred stones.

And the specification of Dongyang County is Xiaoxian mini.

A small county mini of [-] shi actually compares itself.

Cao Xiaowei, who ranks more than two thousand stones, refuses to accept it!

Tao Qian seemed to be well prepared for this situation. He looked at Cao Bao and said with a smile, "Well, I plan to go to Dongyang with you first to meet this person. I heard that you have a beautiful daughter. I intend to protect the matchmaker. To accomplish this good deed for you. If you can recruit this man as your son-in-law, it will be considered your first great achievement."

"What?"

Cao Bao was a little dumbfounded.

Why did you suddenly want to recruit Chen Yuanlong as your son-in-law?

Could it be that his core competitiveness in this team is really his beautiful daughter?
