陶谦入(ru)城,与众计议曰:“曹兵势大难敌,吾当自缚往操营,任其剖(pou)割,以(yi)救徐(xu)州一(yi)郡(jun)百姓(xing)之命。”言(yan)未(wei)(wei)绝,一(yi)人进前言(yan)曰:“府君久镇徐(xu)州,人民感恩。今曹兵虽众,未(wei)(wei)能即(ji)破(po)我城。府君与百姓(xing)坚守(shou)勿出(chu);某(mou)虽不才(cai),愿施(shi)小策,教(jiao)曹操死无葬(zang)身之地(di)!”众人大惊(jing),便(bian)问计将(jiang)安出(chu)。正是:本为纳交反成怨,那知绝处又逢生(sheng)。毕竟此人是谁,且(qie)听(ting)下文分解(jie)。
