Chapter 443 Liu Bei refused to pick up Xuzhou

Cao Cao looked at the reaction of the generals and slowly raised the corners of his mouth, but soon he put away his smile, because at that time, he happened to hear from Guo Jia saying that the princes could threaten him in the future.

The first person to rise in Cao Cao's mind is not Yuan Shao, who is the most popular at the moment, but Wen Han, who is extraordinary.

"Exfant, if you don't follow closely, you will soon be thrown away by me. At that time, if you are not strong enough to fight against me, but you will block my way. Then don't blame me for Cao Mengde for being ruthless."

However, on the other side, Liu Bei and his generals entered the city. After Tao Qian led Xuzhou Wenwu to meet each other, they went to the government office together. After the ceremony, we set up a banquet to treat each other, and there was a wall of labor. Tao Qian was overjoyed to see Liu Bei's magnificent appearance and open-minded language. Mi Zhu was next to Tao Qian, talking about Liu Bei's loyalty, righteousness and benevolence. The more Tao Qian listened, the more he respected he respected him and treated Liu Bei very enthusiastically.

In the following days, Cao Bing outside the city did not move, and Mi Zhu said that it was all Liu Xuande's credit. Tao Qian also thought that he wanted to hand over the command power of Xuzhou soldiers and horses to Liu Bei. Liu Bei did not dare to accept it and postponed it again and again. What's more, Tao Qian's move was that he was trapped in injustice. He is a foreign general. He is new to Xuzhou, and his achievements are meager. If Tao Qian cedes his power, he will be rejected by people all over the world, and he will also be hated by Wenwu in Xuzhou. After listening to this, Tao Qian appreciated Liu Bei even more, thinking that he was really a loyal and benevolent man. Later, when the weather suddenly changed, Tao Qian's old illness recurred. He fell ill in bed. He was worried about the war and had no intention to rest at all. One night, Tao Qian suddenly called Mi Zhu and asked him to invite Liu Bei. Liu Bei was resting. He listened to Tao Qian's invitation and didn't care about grooming. He hurried to Tao Qian's mansion with Pan Feng and Zhang Fei.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Bei arrived at Tao Qian's bedside, he saw Tao Qian holding a plaque wrapped in yellow cloth in his hands. Tao Qian saw Liu Bei coming, with a smile on his pale face, and then called Liu Bei to walk in. When Liu Bei entered the room, almost all his attention was sucked away when he saw the plaque wrapped in yellow cloth. However, what kind of person Liu Bei was. Knowing that he was paying attention to this thing at the moment, he pulled back his spirit and hurriedly walked into Tao Qian's side. He only asked about his physical condition and ignored what was in Tao Qian's hand at all.

"Tao Gong, the weather is cold, so you should rest more. In the past few days, Cao Jun still hasn't made any movement. In the Tancheng war, with me and General Cao (Cao Bao), you can rest assured.

"Ha ha, okay, okay. Although Xuande is an outsider, he cares about Xuzhou. How dare I accept such great kindness from Xuande? Please ask Xuande to be worshipped by me.

"slow! Mr. Tao is actually breaking me. A few years ago, in order to be loyal and righteous, Tao Gong went out of the army to join the death of Dong Yishi. Although the righteous teacher failed to save the emperor in the end, it was enough to show Tao Gong's heart for the Han Dynasty. And Mr. Tao is deeply loved by the people of Xuzhou. There are few Han ministers in the world who are as loyal to the country and love the people like Tao Gong! Xuande has always admired Tao Gong, and how can he allow Cao Mengde to be his own selfishness and make Xuzhou alive and miserable!"

Liu Bei hurriedly picked up Tao Qian. At this moment, suddenly Tao Qian's face condensed and stretched out his hand to pull the yellow cloth away. The true face of the card seal finally appeared. Although Liu Bei knew what was inside, when the card seal appeared in front of him, Liu Bei still couldn't help but bursting with strange colors in his eyes.

This is the Xuzhou seal, which represents the highest power of Xuzhou, and the Han court is personally orthodox. Tao Qian put the Xuzhou card seal with both hands, and Liu Bei pretended to be calm and shouted in astonishment.

"What does Tao Gong mean?"

Tao Qian had a straight face, handed over the Xuzhou brand, and said in a condensation voice at the same time.

"Today's disturbance is down, and Wang Gang is not depressed. Xuande is a relative of the Han clan, and it is appropriate to help the society. I know that you are benevolent and loyal, but it is a pity that the Han Dynasty has declined and has not been reused for you. The old man is old and incompetent, and his health is getting worse and worse. If Xuzhou falls into the hands of Cao Mengde. I would like to give up Xuzhou to Xuande, but I hope Xuande will not refuse. After getting Xuzhou, he treated the people well, accumulated power, and saved the Han Dynasty. After the crisis in Xuzhou is resolved, I should write my own text and apply to the court.

Liu Bei was so happy that he could hardly control it, but he knew that it was not the right time, so he quickly stepped back a few steps and said goodbye.

"Although Liu Bei is a Miao descendant of the Han Dynasty, his achievements are weak, and he has never benefited the people. He is afraid that he is incompetent for the plains. Now it is a great righteousness, so I come to help. When Tao Gong made this statement, did he suspect that Liu Bei had the intention of annexation? If Liu Bei raises this idea, God will not bless you! I also hope that Mr. Tao will take back his foreword and don't distort Liu Bei's mind!"

"Don't misunderstand Xuande, this is my true feelings!!"

Seeing that Liu Bei was like this, Tao Qian even recognized Liu Bei as a person and insisted on giving up again and again. Liu Bei would not accept it. There was no other reason. At this time, Cao Cao's army was outside the city. Originally, Liu Bei's intervention had already angered Cao Cao. If Cao Cao learns that he took advantage of this effort to get the Xuzhou card seal from Tao Qian. Cao Cao will hate him deeply, and it is even likely that he will attack with him. Liu Bei is not afraid of Cao Cao, but he has to do everything according to his ability. Now he is not Cao Cao's opponent. Even if he takes over the power from Tao Qian, the literary and military generals in Xuzhou will definitely have a lot of doubts about Liu Bei's intention to come to Xuzhou this time, and people will be panicked. In this way, most of the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou will not listen to Liu Bei's orders. How can they face Cao Cao's tiger and wolf division?

Liu Bei deserves to be a hero. Xuzhou's power is in front of him, but he can analyze it well and continue to wait for the opportunity.

Mi Zhu, who was beside him, was also extremely admired when he saw Liu Bei like this. It is almost believed that Liu Bei is the embodiment of benevolence and righteousness. When Mi Zhu saw that Liu Bei refused, he said.

"Lord, now the soldiers are coming to the city, and we should discuss the strategy of repeling the enemy. It's not too late to make concessions on the day of peace.

After listening to this, Tao Qian also felt that it was reasonable, so he put down the Xuzhou brand seal for the time being and nodded and obeyed. When Liu Bei saw that Tao Qian put away the card seal, he also set a few points in his heart. He was afraid that he could not hold it, so he took over the Xuzhou card seal at once. As for Pan Feng and Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei, the moment they saw Tao Qian put away the Xuzhou card seal, both of them showed incomparable disappointment. If Liu Bei could get Xuzhou, he could become a prince, recruit soldiers and horses, save strength, and no longer shrink in the land of the plain.

After that, Tao Qian, Mi Zhu and Liu Bei began to discuss how to fight off the enemy. Liu Bei thought that Cao Cao had not attacked for a long time, and he must not want to lose a large number of troops, and then thought carefully that Cao Cao had another army in Guangling. At present, it was known that Cao Cao was going to wait for the end of the Guangling War and besieged the East China Sea, and hurriedly asked.

"I don't know who guarded Guangling. If Guangling is broken by another Cao army, the East China Sea will be isolated, so that the East China Sea will be in danger.

"Ha ha. Xuande doesn't need to be nervous about Guangling. Guangling is the lieutenant of the Dian Agricultural School under my command, guarded by Chen Yuanlong. Although this person is unruly and unruly, he is knowledgeable and resourceful. He comes from the Chen family. The Chen family is the most powerful rich family in Xuzhou. The old man was able to stabilize Xuzhou in his early years, all because of the Chen family's achievements. And it was Chen Yuanlong who saw through Cao Cao's fake play. Otherwise, Xuzhou would have fallen into Cao Cao's hands at this time.

Tao Qian heard Liu Bei ask about Guangling, and there was no hurry. He said with laughter. Mi Zhu also nodded repeatedly, as if he was convinced that Chen Yuanlong would definitely be able to defend Guangling.

"Chen! Yuan! Dragon!"

Liu Bei's pupils shrank for a moment and shouted in his heart. At the same time, Chen Deng's position in his heart rose sharply to a very high position. It can be seen that another Cao army is not only the most trusted by Cao Cao Cao, but also praised by the strict Meiji army. The way of soldiers is not inferior to Cao Cao Ren. Three years ago, he almost burned Wen Han to death in Tongguan, and then used a series of beauties to kill Dong Zhuo, assisted by Jia Xu, the chief counselor under Cao Cao's command. Chen Deng was able to defend Changling under the attack of the army where these two people were, and his ability must be amazing. If Liu Bei can get it, don't worry about his great career!

Liu Bei's heart began to beat wildly again. After 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, he felt that his luck had finally arrived. First, he received tens of thousands of thieves from the North Sea, and then Kong Rong lent 10,000 elite soldiers. Of course, Liu Bei never thought of returning this 10,000 elite soldiers to Kong Rong from the moment he borrowed it. After that, he met Tai Shici, whose martial arts were not inferior to Pan Feng and Zhang Fei at all. Although Tai Shici intended to join Liu Wei, the assassin of Yangzhou, Liu Bei had a lot of confidence that he could use great virtue to keep Tai Shici, a filial person, by his side.

And Xuzhou, who is engaged in driving, seems to be a loyal and loving person, and has a good impression of Liu Xuande. Later, Liu Bei learned that the Mi family where Mi Zhu lived was the richest giant in Xuzhou. He had so much money that he could even buy half of Donghai County. With the help of the Mi family, Liu Xuande can get a huge amount of money to recruit soldiers and horses and reserve power.

What makes Liu Bei Ruyi most ecstatic is that Tao Qian, an old fool, has been fooled by his own set of benevolence and righteousness, and insists on giving up the power of Xuzhou to himself. In this way, as long as everything is done according to his own plan, Liu Xuande's power can quickly expand and become a great prince sitting in a state.

But at present, the most important thing is how to remove the biggest obstacle in front of you. Of course, this obstacle is Cao Cao!

In a moment, Liu Bei had thousands of thoughts in his mind, and his face sank after thinking about it.

"If Guangling can resist another Cao army, and here in the East China Sea, Cao Cao did not dare to attack for a long time. With such a delay of half a month, Cao Cao may have the intention of withdrawing his troops. When the time comes, prepare another letter to Cao Cao and persuade him to make peace. In this way, it may solve the danger of the East China Sea and Guangling.

"Ai, that's the only way. I hope Cao Mengde will be willing to withdraw.

Tao Qian listened, nod silently and sighed helplessly.

The haze is everywhere in Xuzhou, and it seems that there will be a big storm at any time. And in Chang'an, there is also a frightening and strange atmosphere, which is unpredictable.

However, it is said that since Fan Chou was seized by Li Xu's death, Li Sui and Guo Yan are afraid of each other and have their own power. When Guo Wei saw that Li urged him to lead the Great Sima, he personally went to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and ordered him to make himself a general. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was originally a manipulated puppet. How dare he disobeyed Guo Yan's intention, so he followed his intention. When Li Shu heard that Guo Wei won the position of general, he even confirmed that Guo Wei had the intention to get rid of his exclusive power, and the relationship between the two became more and more tense.

When Li Ru saw it, he went to the residence of two people to explain the benefits. Two people are like fish and water. If they are together, they can be interdependent. If they are separated, they will definitely die.
