The place where the Tinggong in Pengcheng was in the main hall in the southeast of the governor's mansion was different from what the pottery imagined. The Tinggong Hall was not as magnificent as he guessed, or it was carved with beams and painted columns, and it was magnificent... On the contrary, the construction of the Tinggong Hall was relatively simple, with old wooden corridors, blue and gray bricks and tiles falling out of several rows of plans, and it seemed that it was neither thick nor thin. Only Tao Qian's main seat was placed on a low squat, symbolizing the identity of presiding over the meeting. For an adult at the level of governor, it was really a bit shabby.

When the brothers Tao Shang and Tao Ying arrived, the officials who were qualified to participate in the court in Xuzhou were basically present. Tao Qian, with a cane, quietly watched the two boys enter the hall, and smiled unconsciously, but then disappeared without anyone noticing.

"Father, my husband, I have something to delay. I will come a little later. I hope I will forgive you." Tao Shang bowed with fists.

Tao Qian nodded slowly, not annoyed because his two sons came late. It was obvious that the old man was quite satisfied with the two children without absent from work... As for the late arrival of clock in, it was not a big deal.

Poor parents in the world, Tao Qian’s requirements for his two sons are really low.

Tao Shang was very suspicious that Tao Qiansan, who made Xuzhou die so quickly, had nothing to do with Cao Cao and Liu Bei. It was probably because he was exhausted and haggard because of his concern for his descendants.

"Everyone." Tao Qian saw that everyone was here, and said first: "A few months ago, after Cao Cao in Kyoto failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he fled to Chenliu, organized 5,000 rebels, raised a high banner, and made an appointment with the prefect of the governors of various prefectures and counties to attack Dong Zhuo. Last month, Qiao Mao from Dong County sent people to send an edict saying that he was secretly ordered by the three dukes of the capital, and the county magistrates of Zhuo sent troops to serve the king... Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, also joined forces with Yuan Shao to raise troops in Hebei. The princes of Guandong responded fiercely to this matter. I have been repeatedly invited by various towns and wanted to resign... Now that I have summoned the dukes here, I discuss this matter and attack Dong Zhuo, which is of great importance. It is really difficult for me to make a decision."

After saying this, Tao Qian swept his eyes around and looked at the people present inquiring manner.

Everyone here dared not speak casually, and they were waiting for the four auxiliary ministers in Xuzhou to take the lead in making remarks.

The so-called four auxiliary ministers in Xuzhou are Mi Zhu, Cao Bao, Zhao Yu and Wang Lang.

The four of them are all powerful gentry, among which Mi Zhu is the richest, Cao Bao is the best, Wang Lang is the most talented, and Zhao Yu is the most sensible.

Two years ago, Tao Qian was able to successfully take over Xuzhou. In addition to the imperial imperial seal, the most important reason was that as soon as he arrived in the local area, he made bargaining transactions with the four powerful people, and used policies to exchange for the support of the four people, so that he could firmly sit in Xuzhou.

The problems raised by Tao Qian are also difficult for the four assistant ministers.

People in later generations may have a clear view of the situation at that time. Anyone who picks out a middle school student knows that attacking Dong Zhuo is actually a way to follow the heavens and respond to others! But after all, it is because of the practice of predecessors.

As for the situation at that time, Dong Zhuo occupied Guanzhong and controlled some parts of the northwest! As we all know, Guanzhong had a fertile land of thousands of miles, and the country was rich and the people were strong. During the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty lived here to face the east to fight for the world, and all the six countries were not their enemies! Later, Emperor Gaozu secretly visited Chen Cang and attacked Chu here, which also achieved the imperial career and commanded the world!

Moreover, the Central Army of the Han Dynasty and the main force of Xiliang were both under the control of Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Army of Dingyuan of Bingzhou to surrender! It can be said that the most powerful army of the Han Dynasty was basically in the hands of Dong Zhuo.

Although local warlords expanded their armed forces due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they have not reached the peak of the separatist rule of heroes! They are currently in the development stage, and in terms of military strength, they are still subject to the central government's restraint and cannot recruit too much. Dong Zhuo is strong and the local area is weak, which is undoubtedly true.

Besides, it is rumored that Dong Zhuo deceived the emperor and the emperor. After all, it is heard from the truth. No one can guarantee that it is not Dong Zhuo's political opponent who just talks nonsense to deal with him?

What if the local warlords slap themselves if they are wearing pairs of pants and the local warlords are uprising, wouldn’t they slap themselves?

"Encourt!" The first person to speak was Cao Bao, who is currently responsible for commanding the central army of Pengcheng. He has the power of military power and has a high voice. He is responsible for the military affairs in Xuzhou.

"General Cao, what do you mean?" Tao Qian hurriedly asked.

Cao Bao touched his short beard, pondered for a while, and said, "Eunuch, the situation is uncertain today, and the situation is unclear. Now all the princes are making righteous promises and want to attack Dong Zhuo, but the victory or defeat is actually unknown. Moreover, the court has not received a clear imperial edict. Once they are involved in the situation, the consequences will be unimaginable. According to the opinions of the subordinates, the envoy should not get involved in such a mess!"

After hearing this, Tao Qian said silently and just nodded: "Okay, okay..."

"I will follow my opinion, no!"

At this time, Wang Lang, one of the four auxiliary ministers, was originally a disciple of the Grand Marshal Yang Ci, and his reputation was also considered to be the most famous in the world. Tao Qian has always liked talented people, so he appointed Wang Lang as the governor, and was in charge of the civil servants of Cao in Xuzhou and was responsible for Xuzhou's literary affairs.

Tao Qian turned his head and looked at Wang Lang: "What are the insights of Jingxing?"

"The envoy, the one who has joined forces with the princes to attack Dong Zhuo is mainly Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Bao Xin, Cao Cao and others! Let's not talk about Bao Xin and Cao Cao for the time being, the Yuan brothers are descendants of famous families, and all the gentry in the world are against him! I heard that Yuan Shu has joined forces with Sun Jian to kill Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, and has his own land. The Nanyang household registration is hundreds of thousands! With the reputation of Yuan, the population of Nanyang will become a domineering in the south within two years! Now he wants to fight Dong, if we don't follow, what should we do in the future? If Yuan Shu raises troops to punish him, can Dong Zhuo, who is far away in Guanzhong, help me in Xuzhou?"

Tao Qian continued to nod: "Okay... OK."

Among the four auxiliary ministers, Zhao Yu met Feng’s rebellion the most. Seeing that Cao Bao and Wang Lang’s remarks were not completely affirmed or rejected by Tao Qian, he did not make any comments. He just asked: “The envoy kept nodding and saying yes. I wonder if it is better to follow Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu?”

Tao Qian was silent for a while before slowly saying: "Actually, it's all good..."

Tao Shang heard it below and couldn't help but think about it. Tao Qian is talented, but this kind of power of a hoist is really useless. He can't laugh at him on the surface... After all, it's not very nice to laugh at his own father when he says it.

He was a little slight person and had no qualifications to speak in this court discussion, but after all, he had already communicated with Mi Zhu in advance. Whether Tao Qian's intentions can be changed depends on him!

Mi Zhu sat upright and finished listening to everyone's words. At this time, he stood up slowly, looked around, and finally bowed and said, "Ming Gong, I have something to say."

Wang Lang's words and Cao Bao's words made Tao Qian hesitate. When he saw Mi Zhu get up, he hurriedly said, "What's the point of not being able to do that, but it's okay to say it!"

Mi Zhu cleared his throat and said, "At present, it is beneficial to attack Dong Zhuo and watch it on the wall. However, it is even more beneficial to respond to the call to send troops. First, it can promote the name of Xuzhou and enable all the talents from all directions to come to the market. We do not need to be incompatible with Dong Zhuo like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. As long as we can win one or two victories in the battle, or to kill several of his generals in the battle, it is enough! Second, after Dong Zhuo saw the strength of Xuzhou, in order to restrain Yuan Shao and others, he would definitely win over him. Third, he would not offend the neighbors of Xuzhou and protect the people of Xuzhou without worries! At that time, we can attack and retreat and defend, and all parties will use Xuzhou as a supplement. Isn't it better to watch it on the wall? When this chaotic season, we will follow the rules and will never last long. I hope the lord will think carefully!"

Seeing that Mi Zhu was basically in line with his opinion, Wang Lang hurriedly stood up and said, "I'm so kind to you, the words of the other person are very good!"

When Zhao Yu saw the wind, he saw Mi Zhu and Wang Lang retreating together, and then stood up and agreed: "I agree."

Among the four auxiliary ministers, Cao Bao was the only one who supported him. He had a dark face at this moment, looked back and forth at Mi Zhu and Wang Lang, and said, "You two seem to have forgotten something important!"

Everyone turned their faces to Cao Bao, but saw Cao Bao saying sternly: "The king is responsible for the civil affairs of Xuzhou, and Mi Bian Jia is responsible for official grain and taxation, but this military affairs have always been the general! Now, Zang Ba of Xuzhou has collected troops and stationed in Kaiyang, becoming the overlord, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others are all relying on him, and they are powerful. Once the troops and horses are fighting in the west, what should Zang Ba take advantage of the situation and disrupt Xuzhou? Besides, the attack on Dong Zhuo is a major event for the princes. If the alliance is made, the envoy of Tao must go in person. Let's not discuss whether the troops can move for the time being. Zang Ba's troubles are not yet determined. If the lord leaves Xuzhou easily, who will mediate in the center if there is something?"

Mi Zhu frowned when he heard this. Now the power of Xuzhou's military and horse dispatch lies in Cao Bao. He shirked the accident because of the accident, which is indeed difficult to deal with. Moreover, it is true that Zang Ba is currently nominally surrendering to Tao Qian, but his actions are completely self-dedicated. This person stationed troops in Kaiyang and conquered the thieves of Mount Tai for his own use. His strength is enough to compete with the local soldiers and horses in Xuzhou. Cao Bao used this as a reason to keep Tao Qian in Xuzhou, which is indeed a thing of the past...

After looking around the hall for a week, Mi Zhu's eyes fell on Tao Shang's body, and his eyes lit up instantly.

There is another way!
