"Pei Kingdom and my Xuzhou are dependent on each other. As long as we pay a sufficient price, Lu Su may still save us, but how could this guy Lu Bu save us? I sent someone to ask him for help before, but he refused directly." Tao Qian was full of regret. He shouldn't have let Zang Ba go at the beginning, otherwise there would be no trouble today. Now, even if he wants to ask Lu Bu for help, the other party may not help him.

But Chen Deng said, "It's time and time. Now that Cao Cao's army has arrived in the East China Sea, next to Lu Bu, Lu Bu is definitely uneasy. If the envoy requests him to lead his troops to rescue him with generous conditions, he will definitely agree. Otherwise, once my Xuzhou is captured, he will be the next one."

"What conditions do you need to send troops to help?" Tao Qian understood in his heart as soon as he read this sentence. It seemed that if he wanted to gain the safety of Xuzhou, he could only make up his mind.

Tao Qian felt very sad for himself. He originally wanted to save Xuzhou and had no ambitions, but he didn't expect that the disaster would come soon. First, Zang Ba was deceived by Pei Qing, and then the number one general he trusted, Cao Bao, was indeed a fool, and could only speak loudly, but had no ability. Another general, Zu Rong, who was relied on, took the opportunity to escape to Guangling, and killed Guangling prefect Zhao Yu, robbed a large amount of property, and took more than 10,000 people across the river and defected to Xue Li, who was in Moling. Later, he heard that he used the same means to kill Xue Li, and then defected to Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou.

In the absence of any help, Tao Qian sighed: "Since that's the case, I'll ask Yuanlong to go to Langya Kingdom and ask Lu Bu to lead his army to help us. At that time, I'm willing to hand over the position of Xuzhou Mu to Lu Bu. In addition, I will send Mi Zizhong to Pei Kingdom to ask Lu Su to send troops. After the matter is completed, I can promise to cut off Pengcheng Kingdom and Pei Qing."

"No, then Xiaguan will go to Langya." Chen Deng sighed. Although he knew that Xuzhou would be in peace from now on, he could only try his best to eliminate the war. After all, Cao Cao was too cruel and ordered the city to be massacred. Even if Xuzhou was given to Lu Bu, he could not give it to him.

Chen Deng made a little preparation and took Tao Qian's guarantee to go to Langya to meet Lu Bu.

At this time, Lu Bu was also paying close attention to the situation in Xuzhou, because the north of Donghai County was Langya Kingdom. Once Cao Cao conquered Donghai, Xiapi and other places, he would definitely not let Langya Kingdom go. But Lu Bu knew what kind of deep hatred he and Cao Cao now have?

But at this time, Chen Gong advised him to be calm because Chen Gong believed that Tao Qian would definitely find a way to send someone to find him soon, because in the whole of Xuzhou, the only one who has the power to fight against Cao Cao is now Langya. Tao Qian would not refuse to invite them, and even for revenge, Tao Qian would drag them into the war.

At this time, Zhang Miao also advised Lu Bu not to be too impatient and wait patiently for the opportunity.

If the person Cao Cao hated the most was definitely Zhang Miao brothers and Chen Gong, because if it weren't for them, Lu Bu would not have the chance to betray him. Cao Cao was very likely to have directly attacked Chang'an and occupied the Sanfu area when Pei Qing dragged the main force of the Western Liang army. However, although he successfully used the emperor to command the princes, his own strength did not improve much, and instead could not even control Luoyang. He felt uneasy because Pei Qing easily kicked the emperor to him, fearing that this was Pei Qing's conspiracy.

Zhang Miao naturally knew that Cao Cao hated him, so now he could only stay with Lu Bu and do his best to help Lu Bu out of advice. In fact, he didn't know at all that if Lu Su had not delayed Cao Cao's itinerary with a trick, both him and Lu Bu would have been caught up the night before they left Mount Tai and then wrapped in dumplings.

Seeing that the two wise men Chen Gong and Zhang Miao were all persuading this way, Lu Bu was skeptical in his heart, but he could only choose to believe it, secretly preparing for the troops and ordering the soldiers to prepare for the challenge.

As Chen Gong expected, it was indeed correct. A day had not passed, and Lu Bu heard that Tao Qian sent Chen Deng to ask for a meeting.

When Lu Bu heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered to meet Chen Deng. Chen Gong advised him to hang him first, just lie down safely in the tent, and it would not be too late to see Chen Deng again in an hour.

So Lu Bu sent his general Song Xian to stop Chen Deng outside the tent and told him that he was resting and that he would talk about it after he finished resting.

However, Chen Deng shouted loudly outside the tent: "Eunuch Lu, I am not only for Mr. Tao, but also for you. Now Cao Cao is tyrannical. If the general leads troops to repel Cao Cao at this time, he will definitely win the hearts of the people in Xuzhou. General Lu, you take this opportunity to win the hearts of the people. The whole Xuzhou is within your reach. If General, you learn from those scholars and lie down in the account, you can certainly take the initiative, but you will definitely miss the opportunity. Once Xia Pi is captured, Cao Cao will definitely turn around and fight with General Lu. At that time, the general is isolated and helpless. Moreover, with the precedent of your death, who is the most powerful person in the world willing to take you in?"

After hearing about it in the tent, Lu Bu jumped up and opened the tent directly and said, "This is all Mr. Chen's idea. In fact, what I disdain most is this kind of thing. I have heard of Yuanlong's name for a long time. Fortunately, I met today. Please come in quickly. Let's discuss the issue of sending troops."

Chen Gong, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but look red when he heard about it. He didn't expect that Lu Bu would point out his name in person, which was really embarrassing.

Fortunately, Chen Deng just smiled and looked at Chen Gong, and did not say anything more, but continued to say to Lu Bu: "Empress, Cao Cao is attacking Tan County with all his might. He would never expect that you would send troops at this time. As long as the siege of the East China Sea is lifted, Cao Cao will not dare to advance without authorization. The situation in Xuzhou will stabilize. Gong Tao has made a promise that as long as the general can repel Cao Cao and protect our Xuzhou, Gong Tao is willing to give up the position of Xuzhou to the general."

"What? Is this true?" After hearing the news, Lu Bu was immediately uneasy and asked with disbelief.

"Haha, of course it's true. This is a handwritten book by Gong Tao, and it was said in front of all the civil and military officials. The general will know it after a look." Seeing Lu Bu's reaction, Chen Deng felt a little contemptuous, because Lu Bu was too impatient.

"It seems that such a person will find it difficult to defend Xuzhou after all. It is a mistake to place Xuzhou on him, but I have no choice now. I don't want to see my hometown Xia Pi being retaliatedly massacred. I can only take one step at a time to see which one Pei Qing or Cao Cao is expected to get Xuzhou. I will find a way to help him in exchange for family safety."
