Tao Qian quickly grabbed Cao Song's hand with great enthusiasm.

Cao Song turned his head and said to the servant standing beside him:

"Go and pack your things, let's go to the Governor's Mansion to bother you for a few days."

Tao Qian also shouted to his subordinates waiting outside the door:

"Go ahead, Mr. Cao's room has been refunded. I will give the store owner as much money as he wants, and the store owner's money is not allowed to be deducted!"

For a while, the subordinates of the two old fellows were busy, while Tao Qian held Cao Song's hand, walked out of the room, and went downstairs.

After coming out of the inn, Cao Song, led by Tao Qian and his son, came to Xuzhou Governor's Mansion. The gatehouse alone is very grand.

Seeing Cao Song staring at his gate in a daze for a while, Tao Qian took Cao Song's hand and said to Cao Song:

"Master Cao, let's go and talk to Tao in the mansion."

Tao Qian took Cao Song into the Governor's Mansion. Along the way, Tao Qian introduced the situation in the mansion to Cao Song. The two held hands and came to Tao Qian's room for guests!He said to Cao Song:

"Mr. Cao, come on, sit down and rest quickly, I'll ask someone to clean up the room for you."

Tao Qian shouted to the door:

"Come on, hurry up and tidy up a clean room for Mr. Cao, and then send some wine and meat. I want to have a few drinks with Mr. Cao."

After receiving the order, the servant hurriedly bowed his hands and retreated.

After a while, a maid brought the wine, meat, and the potters were here, and behind each of them stood a maid who poured wine for the big shots.

Tao Qian raised his wine glass and said to Cao Song:

"Master Cao, come on, let's finish this glass of wine first."

Cao Song also raised his wine glass and said to Tao Qian:

"Okay, thank you Master Tao for your hospitality! Cao respects you!"

The potter couldn't get in the way, so he just toasted and drank with the two old guys.

The three drank the wine glasses in their hands, and Tao Qian began to talk.

"Master Cao, passing by Xuzhou, is this going to Mengde's Yanzhou?"

Cao Song smiled and replied:

"Yeah, isn't it that Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo, and he went to Chang'an again. The world is not peaceful, and it's not safe anywhere. It's safest to be around him. My son Mengde is recruiting troops in Yanzhou. Eliminate Dong Zhuo, a thief who steals the country, and the second is to help the Han Dynasty."

When Tao Qian heard Cao Song's words, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face, he just smiled and said to Cao Song:

"What Mr. Cao said is true. Now that the world is in chaos and the Han Dynasty is withered, it is not safe anywhere. Since recruiting soldiers and horses is to help the Han Dynasty and kill Dong bandits, then I, Tao Qian, should support Meng De even more."

Cao Song listened to Tao Qian's words, Tao Qian wanted to attach himself to his son Cao Cao.

"Master Tao is serious. My son Mengde is only doing his own meager effort. If I want to help the Han Dynasty, how can my son do it alone? It is still necessary for the princes of the world to unite as one and advance and retreat together. Just do it."

Tao Qian saw that Cao Song was smart enough, and immediately understood what he meant, and said to Cao Song with a smile:

"Alas... Tao is not serious. Cao Mengde assassinated Dong Zhuo alone, and joined forces with the nineteen princes to attack Dong Zhuo. Although Dong Zhuo was not beheaded, Tao knew a little about Cao Mengde's actions. Cao Mengde You don't have to be humble, old man."

Cao Song raised his wine glass, had another drink with Tao Qian, and said to Tao Qian:

"My son Mengde has some talents. As long as Mr. Tao has the heart to help the Han family, he must be very willing to make friends with Mr. Tao."

A few people were like this, drinking and chatting. When Cao Song drank a little too much, he began to talk about how powerful Cao Cao was and how he recruited so many soldiers so quickly, so Cao Song said to Tao Qian drunkenly:

"My son, Meng De, assassinated Dong alone, and earned my son a lot of good name and prestige. When the nineteenth princes attacked Dong Zhuo, it was my son, Meng De, who came up with a strategy alone. That's why Dong Zhuo was killed. Drive the traitors out of Luoyang!"

Tao Qian and Tao Shang, father and son, listened to Cao Song's constant praise of his son, but they didn't take it seriously, and simply perfunctory this drunken Cao Song.

"Oh? It turns out that Cao Mengde is so powerful, now Tao knows it."

Cao Song continued drunkenly and said:

"This time I heard from my son Mengde that after Dong Zhuo fled to Chang'an, the princes began to recruit soldiers non-stop, all thinking of getting a benefit from the centuries-old world of this big man. How many people really want to help the Han?" It’s all for your own selfish desires.”

Tao Qian didn't expect that Cao Song would lose control of his mouth after drinking too much alcohol. Can these things be said casually?

Tao Qian and Tao Shang father and son also simply complimented Cao Song. Tao Qian saw that the time was almost up, and asked his son Tao Shang to send Cao Song back to the room prepared for him.

As soon as he returned to the small courtyard of the room prepared for Cao Song, the servant who came with Cao Song quickly took Cao Song and sent the drunk Cao Song into the room.

Early the next morning, Tao Qian, Tao Shang, and his son came outside Cao Song's courtyard. At this time, Cao Song had just woken up because he was drunk yesterday. The servant reported that Tao Qian, his father, and his son were already waiting outside the small courtyard.

Cao Song asked his servants to invite Tao Qian and his son to come in. Tao Qian saw Cao Song and said to Cao Song:

"Yesterday, I saw Mr. Cao was drunk, so I sent you back. Today, my son and I will take Mr. Cao for a stroll in Xuzhou city? See the scenery and food in my Xuzhou city."

Cao Song was not too polite, and he agreed very simply. There is no rush to go to Yanzhou, just enjoy the beautiful scenery while walking.

"Then please trouble Mr. Tao and Mr. Tao."

Several people came out of the governor's mansion and came to the street. Tao Qian and his son introduced this to Cao Song and introduced that to Cao Song.

The two bought a lot of things for Cao Song, and Tao Qian ordered his son to buy as long as Cao Song liked it.

The few people wandered around until the afternoon before returning to the Governor's Mansion. They ate lunch in a restaurant on the street and drank some wine. This time Cao Song was not drunk.

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Cao Song bid farewell to Tao Qian and Tao Shang's father and son, went back to rest, and prepared to leave for Yanzhou early tomorrow morning.

But Tao Qian and the Tao merchant father and son did not rest. They explained everything to Cao Song yesterday, and today they took Cao Song to stroll around Xuzhou City, and bought so many things for Cao Song.

"Shanger, this Cao Song is going to go to Yanzhou to find Cao Cao tomorrow morning, and I plan to send a team to escort Cao Song all the way to Yanzhou for my father. Who do you think is more appropriate to send?"

After hearing this, the pottery merchant didn't pay much attention, he just escorted Cao Song to Yanzhou, not to fight, just find a few people with similar force.
