Three Kingdoms: I choose to assist Sun Jian

"If that's the case, you're still a dutiful son!"

"this kid"

The potter immediately hesitated and said:

"Then the Chen family is a prominent family in Xuzhou, why did my father have to kill Chen Gui?"

"Fine, you don't need to kill him!"

Tao Qian heard this, raised his head sadly and said:

"If you still think of me as your father, you can kneel here all night!"

"In my bedside cabinet, there is my seal of the governor. After dawn, you can take the seal and go out to receive Xuzhou."

"Remember, no matter what happens, you must not kill your second brother!"

"Father, what did you say!"

Hearing this, the pottery merchant was surprised again and said:

"Haier and second younger brother are blood brothers, how can they kill each other!"

"That's right, that's good, that's good!"

Tao Qian said, leaned back on the soft pillow weakly, and said weakly:

"Kneel down, don't get up without my permission!"

As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes.

What he could do, he did.

Next, it's up to fate

In this silence, he has passed away without a sound.

The pottery merchant knelt in front of Tao Qian, listening to Tao Qian's orders, and could only remain motionless.

On the other side, after Tao Ying went out, Cao Hong, Chen Gui and others stepped forward to ask:

"Second Young Master, how is Tao Shijun, is he all right?"

Watching everyone approaching, Tao Ying said with red eyes:

"Father is fine, you don't have to worry!"

He took a look around everyone, finally set his eyes on Mi Zhu and said:

"Mr. Mi, father has something to tell you, can you take a step to speak?"

Mi Zhu listened, nodded quickly and said:

"But also!"

Saying that, ignoring Chen Gui's and Cao Hong's suspicious gazes, he and Tao Ying walked towards the outside of the mansion.

He walked all the way to the outer hall, and then he said anxiously:

"Second son, what happened to Lord Inspector?"

"Sir!"

Hearing this, Tao Ying burst into tears and said:

"Father may not survive tonight!"

"Lord Inspector, can't last tonight?"

Mi Zhu's pupils shrank when he heard it, and then asked hastily:

"Then what does the governor want to tell me?"

"Father wants me to give this to Mister!"

Tao Ying wiped his tears, took out a scroll of calligraphy from his bosom, and said in a sobbing voice:

"And ask my husband to leave Tan County with me as soon as possible!"

When Mi Zhu heard the words, he hurriedly took the handwriting to read, opened it up, and at a glance, he saw four large characters - the agreement to dissolve the alliance.

When he saw this book, he was immediately overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, before Tao Qian died, he would take the initiative to cancel the covenant!

And this book of covenant was specially handed over to him, the meaning is already obvious!

After thinking for a while, Mi Zhu asked again:

"Second Young Master, other than that, does Mr. Tao have anything else to say?"

"There's a little more to it!"

Tao Ying said with red eyes:

"Father told me that he has no other wish in his life, he only wishes that there will be no brothers in the family, so that the husband must save his brother's life!"

"I see"

Mi Zhu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, it seemed that this was Tao Qian's last wish.

This is to hand over Xuzhou to Bai Liming in exchange for the potter's life!

However, for Tao Qian, this is also the best choice to protect the two brothers now!

Immediately, he put the handwriting into his cuff, pulled Tao Ying and said:

"Second Young Master, it's not too late, let's go now!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Tao Ying's response, he dragged Tao Ying to face the night and walked towards the outside of the mansion.

At this time, on the official road from Huainan to Peijun, an army of more than [-] people was marching towards Peiguo County through the long snow field.

The leaders are Bai Liming and Sun Ce.

Behind them, there is a long dragon formed by torches, which meanders and stretches endlessly.

Chapter 215 Taking the absolute initiative, encircling the situation, Liu Bei's death is coming

Yuzhou, Peiguo County, Xiaoxian County.

This place is an important place in Yuzhou, and it is also the only way to enter Xuzhou from the west. It is only three hundred miles away from Tan County in the East China Sea.

After Bai Liming and Sun Ce led the army northward, they arrived here all the way and stationed troops on the border of Xuzhou.

This time they went to Xuzhou, Bai Liming almost dispatched all the elites from Jiujiang and Lujiang counties.

Take Sun Ce, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Xu Sheng and others as generals.

Zhang Hong and Lu Su joined the army, and Zhuge Jin served as secretary.

Let Zhu Zhi, Zhao Cen, Qiao Rui and others stay in Jiujiang, and personally command the [-] troops to come.

It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the weather was gloomy and cold.

In the cold wind, Bai Liming was leading the crowd to inspect the camp.

Along the way, I saw that the lieutenant soldiers were sitting around the furnace to keep warm. Except for the soldiers on patrol, there were almost no soldiers exposed to the cold wind.

Seeing this, Sun Ce who was following Bai Liming smiled and said:

"Sir, this coal is really a good thing!"

"It's heavier, but it's more burnt than the charcoal, and it's also warmer!"

"With this thing, the soldiers of our army will not suffer from the cold!"

In ancient times, sending troops was a hard job.

Especially when troops are dispatched in summer and winter, it is a great test for logistical support.

A little carelessness will cause a large number of soldiers to suffer from heat stroke, or freeze to death and frostbite.

And now, under Bai Liming's instructions, they discovered many open-pit coal mines.

After mining, the heating material in the general changed from firewood to coal.

It really relieved a lot of cold invasion in winter.

Listening to Sun Ce's words, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei also smiled and said:

"The major general said yes!"

"When there was no coal in the army before, our army marched in winter, that was torture!"

"Now that there is coal, there will be fewer complaints from soldiers!"

As they talked, they couldn't help but think back to the time when they were discussing Dong He and Yuan Shu. Those winter days were all hard work!

Often after a day of marching, basically everyone's face is numb from the cold.

What's more, they are now marching in the twelfth lunar month. If the guarantee is not good, how many soldiers will lose their combat effectiveness due to frostbite.

Bai Liming was walking in the front, seeing everyone like this, he couldn't help turning around and smiling, and said to Zhang Hong:

"Mr. Zhang, apart from the coal, have all the soldiers' winter clothes been distributed?"

"This winter, coal alone is not enough. We must maintain the strength of the army, and we must not let the soldiers freeze!"

Seeing that Bai Liming was concerned about the later stage, Zhang Hong quickly cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Military commander, don't worry, there is no shortage of these things in our army!"

"When we come out this time, apart from being frozen during the march, the military advisers don't have to worry about other aspects!"

"very good!"

Bai Liming nodded and said:

"There is no way to suffer from the cold during the march. What we want to ensure is to minimize frostbite."

Hearing Bai Liming's words, Zhang Hong couldn't help asking:

"Military division, speaking of it, there is one thing I don't understand, can the military division explain it in detail?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhang!"

Baili Ming laughed and said:

"If you have any doubts, you can ask questions."

Hearing this, Zhang Hong pondered for a while, then cupped his hands and said:

"Mr. Qi, the thing I don't understand is that since the Chen family is going to take advantage of the situation to welcome Liu Bei into Xuzhou, Tao Qian's son Tao Shang is there to help."

"In this way, even if we send troops to reach the border of Xuzhou, we can't send troops until we receive the news!"

"Then the direction of our troop increase, why don't we directly increase our troops in Xuzhou territory, join General Huang and the others, and come to the border of Xuzhou?"

"If we increase our troops in Xuzhou, as soon as our army receives the news, we can gather our forces and go northward to fight Liu Bei's army!"

"On the contrary, after coming here, not to mention the lack of troops, if you want to attack Tan County, you have to cross Pengcheng, which is equivalent to giving them time to react!"

Amidst Zhang Hong's question, everyone listened and nodded secretly.

He was a little puzzled about the direction of Bai Liming's troops this time.

After all, if it is close, it must be closer to Xuzhou from Xiaqiu. After going all the way north, you can directly reach Tan County.

On the contrary, when they came here, it was as if the soldiers were divided into two groups.

All the way in Xuzhou, but all the way outside Xuzhou.

Hearing this, Sun Ce felt a little puzzled and said:

"The military adviser said before that Liu Bei's army should be killed with a single blow. Could it be that marching like this is the way to kill?"

"more or less!"

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Bai Liming laughed and said:

"Everyone simply follow me into the account and discuss in detail!"

In the words, he led everyone towards the camp.

After entering, he didn't let everyone sit down, but went directly to the map and said to everyone:
