Chapter 400 Xu Ding Still Calm

"Tao Shijun hastily called me over, but is there something urgent?"

After receiving Tao Qian's message, Xu Ding rushed to the state pastoral mansion from where he lived.

At this time, most of Tao Qian's civil and military generals arrived, and they sat in two rows. Tao Qian asked Xu Ding to sit in the nearest seat, and then sighed: "The battle in the south of Bokang has come to an end. Qu County has been broken. Your love generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were beheaded by Liu Yao."

Most of the civil and military personnel in Xuzhou stared gleefully at Xu Ding, wanting to see Xu Ding's expression upon hearing the bad news.

But they were disappointed, because Xu Ding was just stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Liu Yao is so powerful, Qu County will be destroyed as soon as he says it, so how are Zizhong and Zifang's family?"

After speaking, he saw the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang who were at the bottom.

The two brothers' faces were not very good, and they clasped their fists in a depressed mood and said, "Thank you, Junhou, I don't know what's going on in Qu County."

Xu Ding nodded slightly, then turned to Tao Qian and said, "So Yuan Shu revealed the news, then his intentions are really good."

Everyone looked at each other, Cao Bao and Cao Hong looked at each other indifferently, Chen Deng stood up and said: "Your Majesty means that Yuan Shu has cheated."

Xu Ding said: "Of course!"

At this moment, Cao Hong stood up and asked, "Your Majesty! You said Yuan Shu was the one who cheated, but can you provide evidence?"

"The fact that he besieged the city and prevented us from communicating with the outside world is the best evidence. Before there is any information from our people to prove it, what he said should be false." Xu Ding said convincingly, and did not defend this issue. .

Tao Qian's subordinates immediately discussed and whispered to each other.

Obviously there are those who agree and those who disagree.

Tao Qian asked, "Bokang, what do you think we should do next?"

Besieged for so long, Xu Ding has not made any action, nor has he proposed any practical plan to defeat the enemy. Even Tao Qian, who is cunning and calculating, can't help but lose his temper.

Xu Ding said with a smile: "Keep it strong. If Yuan Shu likes to besiege the city, let him besiege it. Anyway, he won't be able to attack the city by force. We can just wait with peace of mind."

Tao Qian wanted to say something, but finally swallowed the words down his throat.

Xu Ding stood up and said, "Since there is nothing else, I'll leave first."

Tao Qian nodded slightly, and after Xu Ding left, the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang also bid farewell to Tao Qian.

Chen Deng and Chen Gui have been watching Xu Ding's expressions and movements. One of them is pinching his beard and the other is holding his wine glass, wondering what they are thinking.

Seeing that Xu Ding and the Mi family brothers had left, Cao Bao attended and said: "My lord, Xu Ding has a false name. He has been in Xuzhou for so long, and he has more than ten thousand elite soldiers, most of whom are cavalry, but he dare not go out of the city to attack Yuan Shu. It's unreliable, how to keep Tan County and our Xuzhou, we have to figure out a way ourselves!"

Tao Qian sighed and said, "Then what can you do?"

I……

Cao Bao is a vulgar martial artist, there is nothing he can do about it, so he turned his attention to Cao Hong. In terms of brains, of course, this family has more brains.

Cao Hongxin said that I had a fart idea, so he set his sights on Chen Deng.

The dragon of the Chen family was more powerful, so Tao Qian asked Chen Deng, "Yuanlong, do you have any good strategies?"

Chen Deng put down his wine glass, shook his head and said, "My lord, I have no good strategy here. Just as Marquis Weihai said, I can only sit and wait. I will consume Yuan Shu first, and wait and see the situation. Maybe the Donglai navy can turn defeat into victory and severely injure Liu Yao." , come to solve the problem."

Tao Qian was also in a melancholy mood, he waved his hands and said, "It's all gone, go back and rest earlier!"

Then everyone left the table and dispersed.

Although Tao Qian had a melancholy look on his face, his gaze became complicated again when he looked at the hallway where everyone had dispersed. He sat there for a long time and didn't know what he was thinking?
Mi Zhu, Mi Fang left the State Shepherd's Mansion, and after catching up with Xu Ding, Mi Zhu asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the war on the southern front?"

Xu Ding replied with a smile: "Does Zizhong want to hear the truth or lies?"

The two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were taken aback for a moment, and Mi Zhu said: "Of course it is the true meaning of the prince."

Xu Ding said: "My truth is that my army cannot be defeated. Liu Yao is not a threat to my generals at all. On the contrary, Liu Yao is vulnerable."

After speaking, I will leave.Mi Zhu and Mi Fang looked at each other, wanting to see something in each other's eyes.

Soon the two caught up again, and Mi Zhu wanted to ask again, at this time Xu Ding said: "Don't ask, Zizhong, I'll just ask you a word, when the weather changes, remember to follow in my footsteps as soon as possible."

After speaking, Xu Ding and the others urged the horses to run back to the residence.

Mi Fang asked, "Brother, what does Marquis of Weihai mean?"

Mi Zhu Banmi patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said: "I reckon there will be important news coming out soon, let's go, go home!"

out of town!

"Good news, my lord! Good news! There is movement in the city."

Yuan Huan walked into Yuan Shu's tent with a letter in hand and handed it to Yuan Shu himself.

Yuan Shu took a look at it, his face was full of joy, and he patted a few times: "Okay! That's great!"

"Come here! Call all the generals to discuss the matter. Tonight, I will take down Tan County and destroy Tao Qian and Xu Ding!"

………………

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the daily temperature difference is large, and the monsoon begins at night, which is chilly and chilly, which makes people feel unmotivated.

After besieging the city for many days, the two sides did not see any battle, and they lived in peace, which made the Danyang soldiers on duty a little slack.

Groups of three or five gathered around the fire.

Although there was enough food in Xuzhou, the soldiers still had two meals a day. In the first half of the night, they were able to stay up, but in the second half of the night, they were tired, sleepy and hungry, and their stomachs were croaking.

At this time, I can only drink a bowl of cold water to satisfy my hunger.

Today, the wind is strong at the top of the city, and the flags are flying with the wind.

Footsteps could be heard on the street under the city, and the soldiers who were still joking with nasty jokes saw someone approaching. They all stood up holding weapons, stared at the torches on the street and asked, "Who?"

No one answered them, so they all stood up nervously, and soon they saw the crowd under the torches.

It turned out to be a group of people who carried burdens and played companions like domestic servants.

In front of the crowd was a middle-aged man, dressed in official robes, with a dignified status.

"So it's Pei Xiang, I'm so rude."

The person who came was none other than Chen Gui.

Chen Gui smiled and said: "It's okay, you are on duty very well, the wind is strong tonight, the lord is afraid that the world will be colder, so he ordered me to send ginger candy to drive away the cold, and also told me to send supper in the middle of the night, so that the soldiers have the strength to fight against the cold. Guard the city with spirit."

The defenders were overjoyed when they heard the words, and said one after another: "Thank you, my lord, the lord is still benevolent and righteous!"

So under Chen Gui's command, the slaves distributed the ginger candy to all the guards, and then asked everyone to eat something to fill their stomachs.

A group of soldiers rushed over first, for fear that they would not have their own share if it was too late.

"Haha, delicious, enjoyable!"

"Great! Finally, I don't have to starve in the middle of the night!"

"That's right! Finally... this thing..." Someone just seconded the proposal, but found a sharp pain in his stomach, his face turned bitter, and his expression became ferocious and painful.

The others also clutched their stomachs and fell to the ground one after another.

"Chen Gui, you..." The general on duty pulled out his sword and pointed at Chen Gui. If he didn't understand that there was a problem with the food, he would not be worthy of being a city guard.

It's just that before he stabbed Chen Gui, he couldn't hold on, and wanted to collapse, so he had to hold his sword against the ground and hold on.

Chen Gui looked at the fallen guards and soldiers indifferently, and waved his hand in disapproval, "It's all settled, Kaicheng leads the army over, the sky is going to change in Tanxian County, and the sky is going to change in Xuzhou."
