Chapter 450 Liu Bei's Conspiracy in Xuzhou

Liu Bei just smiled faintly. After the banquet began, he sat next to Chen Deng, toasted or asked for a topic to talk to him, which had always been a sign of goodwill.

After the banquet, Tao Qian suddenly invited Liu Bei to sit down. Liu Bei refused. Tao Qian insisted on inviting him, and Liu Bei had to obey. After that, Tao Qian straightened his face and bowed his hand to the crowd.

"The old man is old, the second son is not talented, and he can't bear the heavy responsibility of the country. Liu Gong is the youth of the emperor's family. He is highly talented and not afraid of strength. If it hadn't been for him to solve the danger of Xuzhou this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. I hope that Liu Gong can take over Xuzhou. I'd rather beg for leisure to recover."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in each seat. Liu Bei was stunned, and there were huge waves in his heart. A pair of palms of his hands unconsciously sweated, and he hurried back to worship Tao Qian.

"It is for righteousness to come to save Xuzhou. Now there is no reason for it, and the world will prepare for it early. I also hope that Mr. Tao will take back his life, and he will never suffer!"

As soon as Tao Qian heard this, he immediately cast his eyes on Kong Rong. Kong Rong understood and said.

"Today, the tomb of the Han Dynasty is late, and Haiyu is subverted. As a descendant of the Han Dynasty, Liu Gong, why not take advantage of this to make achievements, accumulate power, and save the country? Xuzhou Yinfu, with a household registration of one million yuan, Liu Shijun takes this, why worry about the great cause?

Liu Bei secretly looked at the reaction of Xuzhou Wenwu around him. Seeing that their faces gradually showed expectation, his heart jumped faster, but he still said.

"Tao Gong, who was ordered by the emperor to govern Xuzhou, is orthodox. How can we replace it? I will never dare to respond to this matter.

Tao Qian saw that Liu Bei still refused. His face was slightly anxious, and he turned his eyes away and looked at Chen Deng. Chen Deng listened to Liu Bei's words silently, and his eyes had been staring at Liu Bei's eyes just now, as if he wanted to see through Liu Bei. When Tao Qian looked at it, Chen Deng pondered for a while and also opened his mouth and said.

"Tao Fujun is so sick that he can't see things, but Tao Fujun is willing to give up Xuzhou, showing his deep belief in the virtue of Ming Gong. As for the orthodoxy, as long as Mr. Taofushus a letter and asks the court, it will be okay. I hope the Ming Gong will not resign.

When Chen Deng spoke, Liu Bei's eyes were extremely bright and he listened carefully. If he wants to stabilize Xuzhou in the future, Chen Deng is the key! When Liu Bei heard Chen Deng's words, there was a little misnoyance in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He secretly said that if Chen Deng refused to be convinced, the matter of Xuzhou would be postponed for the time being. After thinking about it, it's a hurt.

"The fourth generation and third Duke of Yuan Highway, returned from the sea, close to Shouchun, why not give it to the state?"

A few months ago, after the truce between Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and Sun Jian, Sun Jian captured Yangzhou. Although Liu Biao had great talent, he only knew how to defend one side, so he did nothing. As for Yuan Shu, he has always been afraid of Sun Jian and regards him as the biggest opponent for hegemony in the south. Therefore, taking advantage of Sun Jian's attack on Yangzhou, he sneaked into Huainan County and took advantage of Shouchun. Yuan Shu has access to Runan, Nanyang and Huainan. The three counties are all rich counties, and the combined area is almost comparable to that of Xuzhou. Moreover, the people of these three places are rich and rich in grain. Yuan Shu is so famous, and no one dares to touch his beard in the south.

Kong Rong did not like Yuan Shu and said bluntly.

"It is not shameful that the bones in the tomb of Yuan Highway are dead, do not pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, and the unreasonable soldiers violate Yangzhou. Sooner or later, such benevolent and righteous people will be attacked by the princes of the world. How can they be fooled? Today's things are not taken by heaven, and regret cannot be traced.

After listening to this, Liu Bei's face showed hesitation, so he was silent, but his eyes had been paying close attention to the faces of the people around him. Seeing that Liu Bei still refused, Tao Qian looked up to the sky and shouted.

"If you leave me, Xuzhou will be devoured by a strong tiger. I won't close my eyes!"

At this time, Pan Feng couldn't help but persuade him.

"It is not only the concession of Mr. Tao, but also the brother and the state affairs. In this way, it can also solve the worries of Xuzhou and the worries of the people!"

"It's not that I forced his state and county. He gave in to him with good intentions. Why bother to refuse!"

Zhang Fei Weng also said angrily. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei stared and pointed to Zhang Fei and scolded.

"Third brother, shut up!! Do you want to trap me in injustice?

Seeing that Liu Bei suddenly became angry, Zhang Fei was very innocent and did not dare to refute, so he had to shut up angrily. Later, Tao Qian gave in again and again, but Liu Bei just didn't accept it. And all the people in Xuzhou had the heart to leave Liu Bei and persuaded him one after another. Liu Bei is like a hunter who is cooking prey. Looking at the heat of the prey, he promised to stay for the time being in embarrassment to assist Tao Qian in managing Xuzhou. Tao Qian was overjoyed. As long as Liu Bei was willing to stay, he was not afraid that he would not take over Xuzhou. When Chen Deng heard that Liu Bei promised to stay in Xuzhou for the time being, there was an inexplicable light in his eyes, as if he understood something.

After that, Tao Qian gradually handed over the state affairs to Liu Bei one by one, and handed over his power to Liu Bei little by little. On the surface, Liu Bei assisted Tao Qian, but in fact, the power in Xuzhou was gradually gathered in Liu Bei's hands under Tao Qian's intention.

However, it was said that Cao Cao led the army back to Yanzhou. At that time, Li Xu and Guo Yan had just started fighting. Cao Cao thought that it was not the right time, and many soldiers had just finished the battle in Xuzhou and needed to rest. At this time, the soldiers were allowed to rest for a while, and at the same time, they recruited soldiers and horses from all over Yanzhou who had not participated in the battle of Xuzhou. At the same time, they also arranged Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to arrange heavy, grain, fodder, weapons and other preparations.

What Cao Cao didn't expect was that at the time of his expedition to Xuzhou, Yanzhou locusts suddenly rose and ate all the rice. Every grain is as expensive as gold. In addition to the battle in Xuzhou, Cao Cao used a lot of grain. The people still have enough grain. How can there be leftover grain for soldiers and horses to go to Chang'an?

Chang'an and his party, Cao Cao must go for the overall situation in the future. And the soldiers and horses have no food, so it is impossible to be the director at all. Cao Cao was worried about this day and night. After Xun Yu came, he hurried to discuss with him.

"There is a shortage of food this year, and the matter of Chang'an should not be delayed. I don't know if Wen has a plan to solve the lack of food?"

Before Xun Yu came, he knew that Cao Cao was worried and had been thinking about it for a long time. After meditating for a while, he said the plan he had already thought about.

"I heard that Chen Di has a yellow scarf with He Yi, Huang Shao, etc. The thieves plundered the state and county. There are many golden silk, grain, and such thieves, and it is easy to break and take their grain in case of Chang'an. The court is happy, the people are happy, and it can also solve the Lord's current worries. It is also a matter of Shuntian."

As soon as Cao Cao heard this, his slender and sharp eyes suddenly lit up and he nod his head repeatedly. At present, he called Dian Wei and Cao Hong, prepared to transfer soldiers from Yanzhou, and led troops to Chendi three days later.

Cao Cao's behavior has always been vigorous and vigorous, and the military order is strict and clear. And Cao Cao, and all the soldiers under his command are strict, so the soldiers dare not slow down at all. As soon as the decree arrived, the soldiers and horses who went on the expedition gathered quickly and rushed to Chendi under the leadership of Cao Cao, Dianwei and Cao Hong.

A few days later, He Yi and Huang Shao of the Yellow Turban Party knew that Cao Bing had arrived and attracted the crowd to welcome him. They would meet in Yangshan. Although there were a large number of thieves and soldiers, they were all foxes and dogs, rabbles, and there was no team, and the formation was messy. Cao Cao looked at the horse in front of the battle for a while, and he had a way to defeat the enemy. Cao Hong led the former military commander's gunmen and swords and shields to attack. Cao Hong waved his knife and roared, like a crawling black leopard, rushing to the front. The generals were brave and inspired the soldiers to fight. The soldiers behind Cao Hong were like wolves and tigers, waving weapons to follow Cao Hong. Cao Cao leaned on the heavenly sword again and ordered the soldiers of the Chinese army to shoot with a strong bow and a hard crossbow, and rushed to the thief. Suddenly, the arrow crossbow was like a flint missile, falling wildly into the thief's formation, so that the thief was in a mess. Cao Hong took advantage of the chaos of the thieves and accelerated his speed repeatedly. First, he killed the crowd of thieves, chopped them with a big knife, killed several thieves in a row, and poured into the crowd. The soldiers who came later took advantage of Cao Hong's bravery and took weapons or stabbed or chobbed, killing the thief in front of him. Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and listened to the endless screams of the thief, as if he was enjoying a wonderful song.

Yi Tianjian moved slowly again. The dian Wei behind Cao Cao laughed hungrily, grinned with a big mouth, shouted loudly, sat down on the horse, led all the cavalry behind him, and launched a charge. Dian Wei danced a pair of iron halberd, with gusts of fierce evil wind, rushing faster and faster. Between the lightning, he saw him killed into the crowd of thieves. Dian Wei's wild dance and double halberd danced densely, forming a forbidden place of death around him. As he kept moving, the thieves were split or stabbed by countless rapid halberd lights and shadows. The death was extremely horrible.

Cao Bing entered the flock like a tiger and slaughtered thieves like a tiger. In particular, the cavalry led by Dian Wei, under the continuous storm of Dian Wei, killed faster and faster. A bloody bloody road opened in the crowd of thieves, almost killing the rear army of thieves. He Yi was afraid that Dian Wei would kill him, so he quickly ordered a small leader to lead a cavalry to block it. The little leader got the order and immediately led an army and galloped to Dian Wei. Dian Wei was killing vigorously. Seeing a small leader killing, the thirsty fighting spirit in his eyes soared. He slapped the horse to meet him and ran to the little leader. He only heard a sudden roar of Dian Wei, like a dragon running, which scared the little leader almost fell off the horse. Dian Wei took the opportunity to stretch out his huge arm, grabbed the head of the small leader with one hand, pulled it suddenly, and fell to the ground. The little leader didn't have time to scream. He bumped violently with the ground, and the whole head exploded on the spot, which was extremely horrible. Dian Wei's fierceness immediately scared the surrounding thieves to death.

At this time, Dian Wei suddenly turned around and looked at He Yi. He smiled inexplicably, which made He Yi feel that he was like falling into an ice cave, and his whole body was extremely cold. He saw that Dian Wei galloped in his direction again. He could no longer stop his fear and pulled the horse and fled. As He Yi fled, the remaining thieves had no intention of fighting and fled back like ebb tide. After Cao Bing chased and killed the thief out of Yangshan, Cao Cao ordered to stop the battle and temporarily go to the village in Yangshan.

The next day, He Yi was shocked and did not dare to fight. Huang Shao didn't know that Cao's soldiers were horrible, so he led the army to Cao Zhai to fight. In the circle, a general walked out to fight, wrapped in a yellow scarf, dressed in a green jacket, and carried an iron rod in his hand, which was very powerful and shouted.

"I'm He Man-ya! Who dares to fight with me?"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong with a joking smile in front of the battle. Cao Hong understood, shouted loudly, got out of the horse, took a knife and rushed to He Man. He Man's body was a little bigger than Cao Hong. He smiled coldly and satirized that Cao Hong did not measure himself and waved an iron stick to meet him. The two knives and sticks bumped into each other and made a violent sound. Then Cao Hong retreated three steps in a row, while He Man retreated six or seven steps in a row. The battle of strength, which is stronger and which is weaker, can be known at a glance. The corners of Cao Hong's mouth were upturned, and his eyes were full of disdain. When He Man saw it, he only felt that an open fire was burning. He immediately rushed to Cao Hong. The iron rod fell like a huge mountain, but Cao Hong turned his body and quickly avoided it. Then the two of them hit each other and fought with each other. They fought for 20 or 30 times, regardless of victory or defeat.

Cao Hong knew that He Man's martial arts skills were not good, and it was difficult to take it lightly. He suddenly pretended to be unable to do it and was cheated away by He Manlian. How could He Man spare Cao Hong and come immediately? Cao Hong sneered behind him, suddenly turned around, cut He Man's right arm with a knife, and cut off his whole right arm with blood. He Man screamed, and his whole face was almost twisted. At this time, Cao Hong stabbed again and cut He Man's face. He Man's face was divided in two and died on the spot.
