"It's indeed a clever plan." Cao Cao immediately slapped and said to Cheng Yu: "As long as this plan is implemented, Xuzhou will sooner or later be my possession."

Cao Cao then decided to do what Cheng Yu said, so early the next morning, Cao Cao rode alone and came outside Tao Qian's camp and said loudly: "Where is Tao Gongzu? This time I led the army to come, not for his own sake, but for revenge, and for the revenge of killing my father, irreconcilable. No matter you invite the Heavenly King, I want to avenge this revenge. For revenge, I will burn it! I heard that you are a kind elder, are you willing to put the whole Xuzhou in war for this hatred? I also know that it was not you who harmed my father, but after all, under your rule, you will inevitably have the responsibility you deserve. If you are a true benevolent, come and talk to me. If you are willing to help me with revenge, I don't want to make you embarrassed."

Tao Qian in the camp was moved after hearing this. If the crisis could be resolved through negotiation, it would be something he could not ask for. So he ignored the dissuasion of the charming and others and insisted on walking out of the camp and bowed to Cao Cao, "Meng De, if you want to follow my friendship with Lingzun, you should call you a virtuous nephew. It's a pity that your father died because of me. I really don't have the face to call you that. However, I had a friendship with your father, and I must know this. If not, your father could not live in Langya at the beginning. But it's a pity that the traitor Zhang Kai actually felt like he was money and killed you temporarily.

The father's evil thoughts led to your father's death. Tao felt deeply regretful about this. As soon as he heard the news, I ordered the thief to capture the thief and avenge your father. It's a pity that the thief was very alert. When my order was conveyed, the thief Zhang had surrendered to Yuan Shu. Meng De, you also know that Yuan Shu's power is growing constantly, and it is the time to be full of complacent intentions. Although he has an alliance with me, he is unwilling to extradite Zhang Shu to me. But Meng De, don't worry, I, Tao Qian, promise you that sooner or later, will definitely catch Zhang Shu and leave it to Meng De. If you violate this oath, I will teach me that Tao Qian will not have a place to die..."

"Hmph, you said so much, it's just an excuse. I just got a guarantee from you, but when will my father's soul rest in the nine fountains? If you don't show enough sincerity today, I will definitely fight with you and burn it!" What kind of person is Cao Cao? It can be seen at a glance that although Tao Qian's words are nothing wrong, in fact there is only one word, that is "drag". How could the shrewd Cao Cao allow Tao Qian to drag him like this? He can't even afford to drag him.

So Cao Cao said this and asked Tao Qian to take out some real things, and don’t think that he could resolve the crisis with just a few words.

Tao Qian smiled bitterly when he heard this. If Zhang Kai was still in Xuzhou, he could kill him one by one even if he had ten lives. But now that Zhang Kai has arrived in Huainan, no matter how capable he is, he would not be able to snatch Zhang Kai from Yuan Shu and kill him to avenge Cao Song.

"Hehe, although Zhang Kai escaped, what about his family? Even if her family escaped, will his tribe members escape together? You can kill his family and tribe members in Xuzhou and avenge my father. In this way, although Zhang thief is still out of trouble, my father's hatred can finally be resolved. Is it cost-effective to exchange the lives of Zhang Kai's family and tribe members for the stability of the entire Xuzhou? I believe you can finally figure out the calculation. If you insist on disagreeing, I will definitely kill Xuzhou. Even if it is burned, I will definitely do whatever you want!"

Cao Cao's attitude was still tough, but he had already compromised in his words. Tao Qian could understand that as long as he could kill Zhang Kai's family and tribe members and give Cao Cao a step forward, this matter could come to an end for the time being.

In fact, as soon as Zhang Kai escaped, Tao Qian had already controlled Zhang Kai's family and tribe members. After all, Zhang Kai killed someone temporarily and immediately ran away after killing him. How could he have time to take care of his family and tribe members? However, Tao Qian was thinking that he was not as guilty as his wife, and only controlled Zhang Kai's family and tribe members, restricting their personal freedom, and was not imprisoned or executed.

Although Tao Qian still thinks that it is right to be less guilty than his wife, the situation is better than others now. In order to calm down the anger and save the people of Xuzhou, Tao Qian feels that it is definitely worth it to protect Xuzhou with the lives of Zhang Kai's family and tribe members and to prevent Xuzhou from a greater disaster.

Therefore, Tao Qian no longer cared about the morality in his heart and immediately ordered the arrest of Zhang Kai's family and tribe members, and beheaded in front of the two armies, so that Cao Cao could extricate his anger in order to resolve the current disaster.

After only half a day, Tao Qian had brought Zhang Kai's family and tribe members to the battlefield and killed them all on the charge of treason.

"Meng De, you have also seen that in order to show sincerity, I have killed Zhang Zhe's family and tribe members in public to pay tribute to the spirit of Lingzun. As for Zhang Kai, I will definitely not give up on his pursuit. I will capture the thief and personally send it to your tent for disposal. In addition, I will also compensate 100,000 stones of grain, 5,000 pieces of silk, and 10 million yuan as the expense of pension for Lingzun, and I will send my son to mourn for Lingzun to express my repentance. I wonder if Meng De can agree to turn war with me into jade and silk?"

"Hmph, Tao Gongzu, what you said is really ridiculous. How can you exchange some wealth for the revenge of killing your father? If I really do this, how will the people in the world see me?" Cao Cao sneered when he heard this. Although he found a step, he suddenly felt that such a step really damaged his image, so he decided to let the other party add weight, and it would be better to agree to give some counties and states to his own jurisdiction.

However, at this moment, Idiom hurried over and said anxiously to Cao Cao: "Duke Cao, according to the spy's return, Yang Feng, the new governor of Bingzhou, suddenly attacked and killed Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, and annexed Hanoi, to contact the Huns, in order to prevent the court from benefiting the court, the emperor issued an edict to ask the lord to return to the court to deal with Yang Feng quickly, and asked Cao Gong to put the matter of the country first, respect the emperor's edict, quickly quell Yang Feng's rebellion, and ensure that the emperor has no worries."

After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately said, "Hmph, Tao Gongzu, since the emperor summoned me, I dare not refuse to reply. This matter will come to an end for the time being. I hope you can fulfill your promise and quickly catch the real murderer. If not, when the Hanoi Rebellion is quelled, I will definitely raise my troops again and avenge my father at all costs!"
