The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 138 The Hero Liu Bei Has Rise

For the elimination of Gongsun Zan, Cheng Yuanzhi has higher requirements - the action must be fast!
He wanted to break through Yi Jing as soon as possible, and take out his body as soon as possible to target Cao Cao, no matter who the winner of the battle for Yanzhou was in the original history.At this moment, he only wants Cao Cao to lose!
Even if Cao Cao still defeated Lu Bu, at least let him return to before liberation-when there was only one county.

This is not mentioned.

When Cheng Yuanzhi swept Youzhou, Cao Cao's old father had an accident.

Before, Cao Cao sent Ying Shao, the prefect of Mount Tai, to Langya County to pick up his father Cao Song. When Ying Shao and Cao Song passed through Xuzhou, Tao Qian found out the news.

Tao Qian was angry about Cao Cao's massacre of the city, so he sent his subordinate Zhang Kai to follow him, pretending to be a bandit, slaughtered Cao Song's family and took away the property.

Ying Xun tried his best to escape, but he didn't dare to return to Yanzhou to return to his command, so he went straight north to join Cheng Yuanzhi.

Zhang Kai got a windfall and felt that Xuzhou would not be safe in the future, so he didn't go back to return to his command, and went south to vote for Yuan Shu.


When Cao Cao got the bad news, he cried to death.

Then he summoned all the generals to discuss sending troops to attack Xuzhou again.

Celebrities heard the news and came to dissuade them.

Before, Bian Rang was very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's massacre of the city, and often criticized the latter in front of others.

What is hard to hear!
Cao Cao has held grudges for a long time, but this time the latter dared to stop him from avenging his father.

Such a great opportunity...

Without further ado, Cao Cao killed Bian Rang with one knife.

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Tao Qian allowed his subordinates to kill my old father. This hatred is irreconcilable! I want to raise an army immediately to destroy Xuzhou and relieve my hatred!"

"The generals listen to the order, and the Japanese soldiers will send Xuzhou!"

Cao Cao personally led the army as the vanguard, ordered Xia Houyuan, Yu Jin, and Dian Wei to be the flanks, raised the white flag of "revenge and revenge", and rushed towards Xuzhou aggressively.

Along the way, Cao Cao imposed his anger on the people of Xuzhou, and wherever he went, he did not stay.

Xuzhou instantly became a purgatory, with rivers of blood flowing all over the place, and Surabaya was blocked by dead bodies and stopped flowing!

Tao Qian saw that Cao Cao had become more violent than before, killing people like chickens, he beat his chest and howled.

Tao Qian cried and said to his subordinates: "Cao's army is too powerful to resist. You might as well tie me up and send me to Cao Cao to save the lives of the people in Xuzhou."

At that time, there were Zhao Yu, Que Xuan, Ruo Rong, Cao Hong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Yin Li, Xiao Jian, Wang Lang, Chen Gui, Chen Deng, Cao Bao, Lu Lu and other subordinates. Fan et al.

Hearing this, Que Xuan responded: "The envoy is so righteous that he sacrificed one person to save Xuzhou. I admire him so much. However, after the envoy goes to Cao Ying, who will be the new Xuzhou shepherd?"

Lu Fan was about to go along with this proposal, but was suddenly pulled by Ruo Rong, who paused, unable to say what he agreed with.

Tao Qian was furious at once, got up and reprimanded: "Que Xuan gathered people to rebel and claimed to be the emperor in the early days; before that, he encouraged me to send troops to attack Yanzhou, which caused today's disaster. I took it down, dragged it out and chopped it down!"

Hearing the sound approaching, the soldiers in the corridor dragged Que Xuan down without any explanation, and slashed with a knife.

After a while, Que Xuan's head was thrown in, and Gu Lulu rolled several times on the hall.

The ground was stained with blood, and Que Xuan died with regret.

Everyone's hearts were tense, they knew that Tao Qian's words were just to test everyone, and they didn't really want to sacrifice their own lives to save the people of the whole continent, poor Que Xuan had no intention, and gave his life for nothing.

So everyone persuaded: "Master, this is not appropriate."

"My lord, I can't do it!"

"Cao Cao came here in a rage, and his anger is so strong that it is by no means a single life, so you should think twice."

"..."

Tao Qian looked at the performance of his subordinates with satisfaction, nodded slightly, and asked, "Do you have any good strategies to resist the enemy?"

Mi Zhu said: "My lord, you can ask Liu Bei, the prefect of Beihai, and Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, for help."

Tao Qian was overjoyed and ordered Mi Zhu to ride a fast horse to Qingzhou for help.

Mi Zhu traveled to Beihai, met Liu Bei, and told what Tao Qian asked for.

In words, the two hit it off.

Liu Bei raised five thousand troops and led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to rescue Xuzhou.

Before leaving, Mi Zhu informed Que Xuan of being killed, and said earnestly: "Fu Jun is going here, if Tao Qian lets the virtuous Xuzhou, Fu Jun will absolutely not accept it."

Liu Bei thinks so.

In his opinion, Tao Qian's method of imperial power is too naive, and a virtuous person like himself never uses such a childish method.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were guarding on the left and right, loyal and loyal, and suddenly felt a sense of superiority.

With these two people by their side, why worry about a major failure?
Liu Bei led the crowd to the city of Xuzhou. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed to kill Cao Jun, broke the siege of Xuzhou temporarily, and entered the city.

Tao Qian urgently ordered someone to host a banquet.

During the banquet, Tao Qian saw Liu Bei's dignified appearance, dignified appearance, not like an ordinary person, and secretly praised him, so he ordered Mi Zhu to take out Xuzhou's pastoral seal ribbon and bring it to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was stunned: "What do you mean by this, sir?"

Tao Qian said sincerely: "Xuande is magnificent, and he is an outstanding person in the world. I am old and incompetent. I should follow the example of the ancients and abdicate to the virtuous, and give up Xuzhou."

Come on, come on, he's started!

Liu Bei smiled secretly, stood up and saluted:
"I am low-minded and talented, and I am not competent to be the prefect of Beihai. I came to help Xuzhou today because of righteousness. When Tao Gong said this, could it be that he suspected that he had the heart to annex?"

Liu Bei pointed to the sky three times, and vowed: "If I have such thoughts, the emperor will not protect me!"

Tao Qian was relieved, and humbly said again: "This old man sincerely agrees, Xuande should not be suspicious!"

Liu Bei waved his hands again and again: "Please don't say anything, Bei is determined not to accept it!"

Seeing that Liu Bei really didn't want Xuzhou, Tao Qian let it go even harder, and almost stuffed the seal ribbon into the former's arms.

Mi Zhu couldn't stand it anymore, coughed, interrupted the two people's flirtation with each other, and persuaded: "It's better to wait until Cao Cao is retired, before it's too late."

Tao Qian glanced at Mi Zhu appreciatively.

He felt that Mi Zhu was helping him find the next steps, that he was one of his own!

From an angle he couldn't see, Mi Zhu and Liu Bei met their gazes and nodded to each other.

Satisfied with wine and food, Liu Bei murmured: "I want to write a book to persuade Cao Cao to retreat, what do you think?"

Tao Qian was surprised: "Today's events are different from those in Qi State. Lu Bu and Xuande had no enmity that day. It is understandable that Xuande retreated the enemy with a letter. I have a grudge against Cao Cao who killed my father. I am afraid that he will not let it go. ah."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Idle is idle, it's always right to try, if Cao Cao refuses to retreat, it won't be too late for me to raise troops to fight against him."

Tao Qian smiled and nodded: "In this case, there is Lao Xuande."

Liu Bei immediately wrote at his desk and wrote a letter to Cao Cao, urging him to withdraw.

The words in the letter are quite polite, enumerating the righteousness of the world, the grievances and grievances between the two sides, and the great truths that should be solved rather than tied.

It can be summed up in one sentence: "Death cannot be brought back to life. I am very sad that your father died. Even if Tao Qian did this, you have no proof! Since I am here today, shouldn't you give me face! I am a ruthless person who has even defeated Lu Bu."

Cao Cao was furious after receiving the letter and cursed Liu Bei's eighteenth generation ancestors. Just as he was about to scold Liu Bei's nineteenth generation ancestors, he suddenly heard a report from Tanma: Yanzhou was attacked by Zhang Miao and Lu Bu!

Is the old nest taken away?
Cao Cao was shocked and asked why.

It turned out that Lu Bu escaped from Chang'an and went to Yuan Shu first and then to Yuan She. The latter arranged for him to be stationed in Licheng County on the border between Jinan and Yanzhou.

Before going to Xuzhou, Cao Cao took advantage of his anger and killed the famous scholar Bian Rang. This action made the Yanzhou scholar-bureaucrats, including Zhang Miao, panic.

Zhang Miao was worried that the next person Cao Cao would kill would be him, the prefect of Chenliu, and he was worried.

Cao Cao once again went to the east to conquer Tao Qian, and Zhang Miao was moved after he did not return for a long time.

Zhang Chao, Zhang Miao's younger brother, discussed with Cao Cao's aides Chen Gong, Xu Si, and Wang Kai. Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou first, and then killed celebrities. He is really not a man!

How about stabbing Cao Cao to death in the back, and from now on everyone will be at ease, eating meat in large bowls, drinking in large bowls, playing vigorously... Cough cough, in short, the bright prospect, how can it be a "cool" word!

See Zhang Miao hesitated.

Chen Gong advised: "Nowadays, great talents are everywhere and there are disputes in the world. Mr. Zhang, you have such a high reputation and many soldiers. You are looking around with your sword. You can also be called a hero among men. But now you are controlled by others. How can a man stay depressed for a long time?" ?”

"Now that Yanzhou is empty, Cao Cao leads the army to the east. Lu Bu who is stationed in Licheng is a powerful general in the world. His bravery is unmatched by anyone in the world. If he is recruited into the gang, we will occupy Yanzhou together, and great things will be accomplished!"

Zhang Miao was overjoyed and no longer worried.Immediately send someone to send a letter to Lv Bu, agreeing to send troops separately, you will be north and we will be south, and we will share Yanzhou.

……

Cao Cao was horrified when he learned the details.

I had no choice but to write back to Liu Bei, sold him a favor, and hurriedly retreated to rescue Yanzhou.


Tao Qian was overjoyed when he learned that Cao Cao had retreated after seeing the letter, and invited everyone to a party to thank Liu Bei.

After three tours of wine and five flavors of food, Tao Qian got up and invited Liu Bei to the upper seat, and then mentioned the matter of giving up Xuzhou.

Naturally, Liu Bei knew the truth that the flying birds were exhausted, the good bow was hidden, the cunning rabbit was dead, and the lackeys were cooking. He also knew that Tao Qian's move was to see off guests.

The enemy has gone, and he began to think that Liu Bei was an eyesore in Xuzhou.

So he rejected Yin Shou, cupped his hands, and offered to leave, saying that he was going back to Beihai.

Tao Qian panicked when he heard the words: "If you leave me alone, I will die with regret!"

The implication is, if you leave, what will Cao Cao do if he comes again?
Liu Bei's city was much deeper than Tao Qian's, and Tao Qian didn't see that Liu Bei didn't want to leave either.

He had no choice but to offer generous terms, with enough money and food supplies, and the equipment belonged to Xuzhou. He only asked Liu Bei to garrison troops in Xiaopei, west of Xuzhou, to defend Xuzhou.

Liu Bei knew very well that Qingzhou could not stay for long, and would be annexed by "Yuan She" sooner or later, so after repeated concessions, he stayed in Xiaopei.

Before leaving, Liu Bei and Mi Zhu met eyes again.

Not long after, Tao Qian contracted a serious illness, and it seemed that he would not survive for a while.
He suspected that there was something wrong with his illness, so he invited Liu Bei to discuss military affairs.

Tao Qian took out the seal ribbon again and gave it to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei still refused again and again. Tao Qian called Liu Bei closer, pointed his finger at his heart, and said intermittently: "My heart... my heart... my heart aches."

Liu Bei comforted in a low voice: "Master, just bear with it and pass."

Tao Qian said again: "Yes... yes... is it you..."

Liu Bei asked, "Ah? Sir, what did you say?"

Tao Qian could no longer speak, and died with his fingers.

Do not look down.

.........

After Tao Qian died, Liu Bei naturally lived up to expectations and became Xuzhou Shepherd.

In private, Mi Zhujin said: "Your Majesty, even though Tao Qian is dead, he still has two sons who have grown up. In order to avoid future troubles, why not..."

With that said, Mi Zhu raised the knife in his hand and waved it in the air.


　Thanks: Undying Immortal Zhang for his amazing reward, bowing 180 degrees.
