Chapter 520
Xuzhou is Tao Qian's territory, and Xiapi is his base camp.

Cao Cao was able to bring [-] tigers and leopards to Xuzhou, and it was Tao Qian who entered the country for the sake of the alliance.

At this moment, there are only three hundred guards around Cao Cao. Although such a force is in the city.But Tao Qian would definitely not be able to be killed, and would be counter-killed.

Therefore, Cao Cao left Xiapi City and went to the military camp outside the city.

Xuzhou government office.

"My lord, Cao Cao has left the city." A messenger came to report the latest news to Tao Qian.

In fact, Tao Qian monitored Cao Cao's every move in Xuzhou, including three thousand tiger and leopard riders outside the city.

Tao Qian looked at Chen Deng, the counselor, and sighed, "I really shouldn't have invited Cao Song to the banquet. If I didn't invite him, such a thing would not have happened."

Tao Qian felt very guilty that Cao Song died in his Xiapi city.

Chen Deng hurriedly said: "My lord, you must not face Cao Cao with such emotions. I'm afraid it will cause his misunderstanding."

"Report..."

At this time, another messenger came and brought amazing news. Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry came out in full force, heading straight for Xiapi City.

"How could this be? Could it be that Cao Mengde thought I killed his father?" Tao Qian panicked.

Chen Deng looked nervous, "My lord, quickly close the city gate and order the soldiers to go up the city to defend against the enemy."

Half an hour later, Cao Cao led his tiger and leopard cavalry troops to the city of Xiapi.

His strength is not enough to attack Tao Qian's base camp Xiapi.

However, Cao Cao, who was full of anger, had to come.

"Tao Qian!" Cao Cao rode his horse and galloped down the city.

Tao Qian signaled the soldiers not to shoot arrows, and said softly, "Meng De, why did you do this?"

Seeing Tao Qian's docile appearance, Cao Cao felt an urge to pull over.This man is simply too bad. He killed his father, but he is like an innocent passerby.

He exploded in anger, and said angrily: "Tao Qian, everyone in the world says you are upright and virtuous. I never thought that you are greedy for profit and obsessed with blessings and frowns. You despicable villain, kill me!" You can still act so hypocritically after losing my father. Don’t you know that your conspiracy has already been exposed. "

"I, Cao Cao, swear here today that I will kill you and make the five counties of Xuzhou collapse. I mourn my father!"

The three thousand tiger and leopard riders shouted together, "The five counties of Xuzhou collapsed, and they were buried with the old man!"

The Xuzhou sergeant couldn't help but change his face.

Although Tao Qian guessed that he was misunderstood by Cao Cao, after hearing these words, he couldn't help being terrified. "Meng De...Meng De, there is no way you would listen to the conspiracy of the traitor. Your father died in Xuzhou City. I admit that I cannot escape the blame, but I definitely did not kill your father."

Cao Cao roared, "Tao Qian, you are a prince after all. Since you dared to do it, you dare not admit it? I have never seen such a shameless person like you!"

"Meng De, I didn't kill it. I can swear to the sky, I swear a poisonous oath! If I killed your father, he would surely die a terrible death, and the heaven and earth will perish. My Tao family is full of families, and I will never live forever!" Tao Qian explained as best he could.

The Xuzhou sergeants all showed indignant eyes. You must know that the ancients valued oaths very much. Tao Qian even swore like this, and even swore with the lives of the whole family, which is quite serious.

"Tao Qian, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Do you think that if you swear such a poisonous oath, the world will believe you?" Cao Cao sternly said.

On the top of the wall, Chen Deng stood up, "Cao Mengde, what evidence do you have that my lord did it?"

Cao Cao waved his hand.

Cao Su rode his horse out of the army formation, and shouted from a distance, "I am Cao Su, Tao Qian, you should know me too, right? I saw it with my own eyes, it was your bodyguard who killed my old man! If someone didn't save me, I would have died a long time ago." Killed by you!"

The sergeants in Xuzhou gasped. Hearing that this person was called Cao Su, he must be a member of the Cao family.People have seen it with their own eyes, it must not be fake.

Chen Deng and the others were also dumbfounded, and they all looked at Tao Qian.My heart said, my lord, you are too cruel, you killed Cao Cao's father in private.You can beat him up, why did Mao want to kill him?

"My lord, I said why some guards are missing..." Cao Bao's heart was torn, and he felt that the lord looked amiable, but he didn't expect to be so cruel, so he was killed by Cao Cao's father.From this point of view, it is really necessary to re-examine the Lord.

Tao Qian was about to cry, "It's really not me, someone must have set me up."

Chen Deng and others might believe his justification, but Cao Cao didn't.

"Tao Qian, Xuzhou will be slaughtered in the future to avenge my father!"

At this moment, Cao Cao no longer felt sad, but turned into vengeful anger.

He led three thousand tiger and leopard riders to retreat.

this night.

Xuzhou government office.

"Marquis Wen, Duke Xuande, you must believe me, I really didn't do it." Tao Qian almost cried, he knew that he must let Liu Bei and Lu Bu know that he didn't do it.In this way, when Cao Cao attacks, he can get more help.

Tao Qian knew very well that Cao Cao would not die together, and he would definitely use all his resources to attack Xuzhou.Tao Qian knew that he could not stop Cao Cao on his own.

Lu Bu knew who did it, so he stood up and said righteously, "Cao Mengde is unreasonable and self-righteous. If he sits down and talks, that's fine. If he attacks Xuzhou unreasonably, I, Lu Bu, will never sit idly by."

"What Wen Hou said is true, not to mention us, even Yuan Gong would not let Cao Mengde act like this." Liu Bei stood up and said.

Tao Qian breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he got the support of other people in the alliance, even if Cao Cao was unreasonable, there was nothing to fear.

When he sent Lu Bu and Liu Bei away, he felt that it was not enough for the two of them to guarantee their support.In this matter, we still need to go to the leader of the alliance to decide.That is, go to Yuan Shao for help.

When Tao Qian's envoy went to Luoyang, Cao Cao's envoy also came to Lu Bu's mansion.

Cao Cao sent a letter to Lv Bu, and if Lv Bu was the internal response, he would support Lv Bu as Xuzhou shepherd when he took revenge.

Lu Bu asked the envoy to bring back an affirmative answer.

…………

When Cao Cao returned to Xuchang, everyone in the house was dressed in mourning.

This greatly stimulated Cao Cao. Although he put on filial piety clothes, he did not shed tears.Tears are useless, only the blood of the enemy can heal the scars in his heart.

Cao Cao immediately summoned civil and military forces to discuss the matter of attacking Xuzhou.

Guo Jia sympathized with Cao Cao's pain, and said, "Tao Qian is a member of the alliance, so I should inform Yuan Benchu ​​first of all."

So Cao Cao sent an envoy to tell Yuan Shao that he would go to Xuzhou for revenge.

At this time, Tao Qian's envoy also came to Yuan Shao's emergency, saying that he was innocent.

After Yuan Shao heard the news from the two sides, the chief judge suddenly became dizzy.

"What do you think of this matter?" Judge Yuan hurriedly called for the jury members.

Guo Tu stood up, "My lord, this matter, whether it is true or not, is now the critical moment to encircle and suppress Qin Ye. Cao Cao should be persuaded to put righteousness first. When Qin Ye is defeated, It is certain that this matter will be liquidated fairly, justly and openly.”

Guo Tu's words were supported by Feng Ji and others.

Although Tian Feng and Jushou felt that it was a bit hasty to answer Cao Cao like this, but Cao Cao had no other choice since his father was dead.

Moreover, it is in Yuan Shao's best interest to maintain the stability of the alliance.
