NOVEL NEXT Chapter 214
Time passed by minute by minute, and after less than half an hour, Cao Cao finally led the four generals Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong into the tent.
As soon as he saw Zhang Fu, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Brother Zhang Sheng, my brothers were indeed a little impulsive. Today, I specially brought them here to apologize to Brother Zhang Sheng."
As he said this, he also winked at the four generals behind him.
Seeing this, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong hurriedly bent down together and said in unison, "Sorry, it was all our impulsiveness. Please forgive us, Brother Zhang Sheng!"
At this moment, the four of them felt extremely aggrieved. After all, they were the ones who were beaten, but now they had to take the initiative to apologize, which made them feel very unhappy.
However, Zhang Fu hurriedly stepped forward, helped them up one by one, and comforted them: "No need to be so polite, Brother Mengde, we are all brothers, why be so polite?"
Then, he enthusiastically invited Cao Cao to sit in the main seat.
Then, Zhang Fu began to chat with Cao Cao, and Xiahou Dun and the other four could only listen silently, not daring to move or interrupt.
As for Zhang Fu's men, they also remained silent. After all, they were not familiar with each other, so it was naturally inconvenient to communicate rashly.
Just when Zhang Fu and Cao Cao were chatting enthusiastically, suddenly a man ran into the tent in a hurry, and said anxiously: "My lord, Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian led 20,000 troops to arrive first!"
Hearing this news, Cao Cao immediately stood up with an excited look on his face: "Great! Governor Tao is finally here!"
He turned to Zhang Fu and said: "Brother Zhang Sheng, you have a good rest here, I will go out to greet Governor Tao in person!" After that, Cao Cao couldn't wait to leave the tent.
However, Zhang Fu also stood up and said with a smile: "I will go with you!" He was full of curiosity and wanted to see what kind of person Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, was.
After all, he was the one who chose Liu Bei instead of his son to inherit his position.
......
On the way, Zhang Fu also used the system to look at the general who had just reported the news. He must be extraordinary, so he wanted to see who he was.
"It turned out to be Le Jin, one of the Five Sons and Generals!" Zhang Fu thought to himself.
Zhang Fu looked at Le Jin and knew that the main reason for Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Yu Jin, and Xu Huang among the Five Sons and Generals was because of their ability to command troops, while Le Jin was ranked in simply by relying on his martial arts, so he must be extraordinary.

Le Jin (? ~ 218), courtesy name Wenqian, was born in Weiguo County, Yangping County (now Qingfeng County, Henan Province), and was a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Le Jin was short in appearance, but became a clerk under Cao Cao's tent because of his courage, and fought in the south and the north.
He attacked Huojia and captured thousands of prisoners. In the Battle of Guandu, he killed Chunyu Qiong, a general of Yuan Shao.
He also joined the attack on Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang in Liyang and killed their general Yan Jing.
He also defeated the Yellow Turbans, Yong Nu, and Guan Cheng.
Later, he joined the pacification of Jingzhou and stayed in Xiangyang. During his tenure, Le Jin repelled Guan Yu and Su Fei, subdued the barbarians of Nanjun, and defeated Liu Bei's Linju Chang and Jingyang Chang.
Later, he followed Cao Cao to fight against Sun Quan and obtained the temporary festival.
Cao Cao returned from Hefei, leaving Le Jin, Zhang Liao and Li Dian to garrison in Hefei.
In the 23rd year of Jian'an (218), Le Jin died and was posthumously named Wei Hou. Later generations called Le Jin one of the "Five Good Generals" of Cao Wei.
Zhang Fu secretly said: "He has great military power, comprehensive strategies, loyal character, and integrity. He always leads the army in battles, and he is brave and strong. He can break through any obstacle. He beats the drums himself and his hands are never tired."
"He was also sent to lead the army, command the troops, and comfort the people to make peace. He obeyed orders without violation, and made decisions in the face of the enemy without any mistakes. In terms of merit and use, they should be favored."
......
Outside the Suanzao camp, Cao Cao saw Tao Qian from a distance. He immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Meet the governor Tao!"
And Zhang Fu stood quietly beside Cao Cao, without any movement, but straightened his body and looked calmly ahead.
Although he had concealed his true identity at this moment, he still maintained the majesty of the Ming King in his heart.
When Tao Qian saw Cao Cao, he smiled kindly and responded loudly: "Haha, Meng De, you don't have to be so polite!"
As he said, he got off his horse quickly, strode towards Cao Cao, and enthusiastically took his hand and walked into the Suanzao camp together.
.....
Zhang Fu looked at the fifty-year-old Xuzhou governor from behind, and also used the system to check Tao Qian's attributes.

Tao Qian
Force:25
Commander: 44
Intelligence: 83
Politics: 86
Magic Weapon: None
Magic Horse: None]
Tao Qian (132/133-194/195), courtesy name Gongzu. A native of Danyang, he was a minister in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty.
Tao Qian was originally a student, served in prefectures and counties, was selected as a talented person, served as the magistrate of Shu and Lu counties, the governor of Youzhou, and a councilor, with a straight character and great ambitions.
Later, he followed the left chariot and cavalry general Huangfu Song to fight against Beigong Boyu, served as the Yangwu school lieutenant, and then followed Zhang Wen to fight Han Sui and Bian Zhang.
In the fifth year of Zhongping (188), the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou rose up, and Tao Qian was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou by the court. He defeated the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou, promoted military farming, and restored production.
Later, he followed the advice of Wang Lang and Zhao Yu to send envoys to Beijing to pay tribute, and was appointed General of Andong, Governor of Xuzhou, and Marquis of Liyang.
In his later years, Tao Qian was defeated by Cao Cao in the war, and most of Xuzhou was almost destroyed by the war, so he died of excessive worry at the age of 63.
"This attribute is not bad, but it's a pity that after the age of 60, everything has become a little confused!" Zhang Fu said secretly.
Although it doesn't mean that Liu Bei is not good, he has two sons after all, and the result...
......
At this time, Tao Qian seemed to notice Zhang Fu, and Tao Qian also knew Zhang Fu's identity on the way.
"Brother Zhang Sheng, I am also from Danyang, and we are also fellow villagers!" Tao Qian looked at Zhang Fu, and then chatted with Zhang Fu.
Zhang Fu had learned a lot of local dialect from Chen Dao a long time ago, so there was basically no obstacle to chatting with Tao Qian in dialect.
Cao Cao was certain that Zhang Fu was the leader of the Danyang Volunteer Army, otherwise he would not have been able to communicate with Tao Qian so smoothly.
Tao Qian asked, "People in Danyang are martial artists. You must have good martial arts skills to form a voluntarist army in Danyang, right?"
Cao Cao was stunned. He knew that Zhang Fu had several powerful generals under his command, but he was not sure about Zhang Fu's own strength.
Zhang Fu looked handsome, and his body was not the type of strong and muscular, so he thought he was not a powerful general.
