Chapter 243
Lu Bu withdrew his men and horses, Chu Tianshu and the others naturally wouldn't go after them, but if they chased them, they would offend Lu Bu's men and directly use crowd tactics to fight the enemy. No matter how powerful you are, you will be consumed to death.

Besides, I came to Xuzhou this time to understand the dangers of Xuzhou, not to fight Lu Bu to the death.

"Zilong, thank you for coming, otherwise we would be in danger." Liu Bei said happily.

Indeed, if Zhao Yun hadn't suddenly killed him just now, Chu Tianshu and the others would have been in danger.

Zhao Yun said: "Mr. Xuande is being polite, this is what Zilong should do."

"Zilong, are you the only one here?" Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun and asked. He had written to Gongsun Zan, asking Zhao Yun to bring troops to Xuzhou to support him. It was impossible for Gongsun Zan to let Zhao Yun come alone.

Zhao Yun said: "My men and horses are behind, and my lord only gave me 2000 men and horses."

Hearing this, Zhang Fei said, "Zilong, that Gongsun Zan is too petty, why don't you come with us?"

Openly digging corners, and saying that other people's protagonists are stingy, this is something only people like Zhang Fei can say.

"Yide, stop talking nonsense." Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei, telling him not to talk nonsense.

Although Liu Bei also wanted Zhao Yun to join him, he knew that it was not the time yet, as he was now wandering around without even a place to stay.

Secondly, he has some friendship with Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan is also good to Liu Bei. It is very disrespectful for you to poach other people's corners like this.

"Zilong, let me introduce you, this is Chu Tianshu Chu Xiaoyao." Liu Bei introduced Chu Tianshu to Zhao Yun with a smile.

Chu Tianshu stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Yun's hand, and said, "Zhao Zilong, look up to me for a long time."

People in ancient times didn't practice handshake etiquette, so after Chu Tianshu grabbed Zhao Yun's hand, he looked confused, not knowing what was going on.

"Xiaoyao, hello, hello." Zhao Yun smiled awkwardly, feeling that Chu Tianshu was a bit too Meng Lang, and would hold his hand as soon as they met.

"Brother, let's go to Xuzhou City quickly." Guan Yu said, standing outside Xuzhou City is not an option. We came all the way, we are exhausted, and we need to go into the city to have a good rest.

"That's right, brother, I'm hungry, and the horse is also tired." Zhang Fei said.

Liu Bei shouted to the defenders on the city wall: "I am Liu Xuande, I am here to find Mr. Tao Qiantao, Mu Tao of Xuzhou. I hope you will put down the suspension bridge and open the city gate to let us in."

The guard above didn't know Liu Bei and the others at all, and said, "I'm sorry, we won't open the city gate without Master Tao's order, so please go back."

When Zhang Fei heard this, his violent temper immediately became angry. He pointed to the defenders on the city wall and said, "You are so rude. My elder brother kindly came to help you, Mr. Tao, but you refused the door. I see you Tao My lord and the people of Xuzhou deserve to be..."

Seeing that Zhang Fei's words became more and more outrageous, Liu Bei scolded: "Yide, don't talk nonsense, shut up."

Zhang Fei was not afraid of anyone, but he just listened to his sworn brother and kept his mouth shut.

Liu Bei looked at the guards on the city wall and said, "General, please go and tell Master Mutao of Xuzhou that Liu Xuande is here to help."

The guard thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you wait first and I will inform Mr. Tao."

Not long after, an old man in his sixties came to the city wall. This person was Xuzhou Mu Taoqian.

"Is Liu Xuande down there?" Tao Qian squinted his eyes and asked, he was getting old and his eyesight was not good.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei said, "It's my Majesty, Master Tao, I hope you will put down the suspension bridge, open the city gate, and let me wait in."

Tao Qian immediately asked people to lower the suspension bridge, opened the city gate, and let Liu Bei and the others in.

After Chu Tianshu walked into the city, he was relieved, finally able to eat and sleep well.

Diao Chan followed closely behind Chu Tianshu, for this strange place, she had only Chu Tianshu to rely on.

"Xuande, don't blame me for making you wait for a long time." Tao Qian said with a smile after seeing Liu Bei.

"Master Tao is polite." Liu Bei said respectfully, no matter in terms of age or official position, Liu Bei is not as good as Tao Qian.

Moreover, Tao Qian is a humble elder, very respected, and Liu Bei is like his student in front of him.

Later, Chu Tianshu and the others saluted Tao Qian together. Tao Qian immediately asked the people below to settle the people Zhao Yun brought, and then he personally hosted a banquet for Liu Bei and the others.

At the banquet, Tao Qian called some officials from Xuzhou to accompany him. Chu Tianshu was not interested in these people, only in the food on the table.

My stomach was already croaking with hunger, and after traveling for more than ten days, there was no trace of oil in my stomach.So, looking at the table
Chu Tianshu wanted to gobble up the meat for a long time.

When Tao Qian asked everyone to use the chopsticks, Chu Tianshu couldn't wait to start using them. As for Diao Chan, with Tao Qian's family members, she would not be hungry.

With a full stomach, Chu Tianshu just wanted to take a hot bath, and then have a good night's sleep. He didn't think about other things at all.

After drinking and eating, Tao Qian sighed, and Liu Bei who was sitting below asked, "Master Tao, why are you sighing?"

Tao Qian shook his head and said: "Xuande, it's not because of Cao Mengde's matter. Alas, I wanted to do good things, but I didn't expect to do bad things with good intentions. I have already tied the servant who killed Cao Mengde's father to Cao Mengde. But he, Cao Mengde, not only killed all my people, but also said that he would let the people of Xuzhou be buried with his father."

Hearing this, Zhang Fei said angrily: "This Cao Mengde is really hateful. If he dares to lead the troops here, I, Zhang Fei, will definitely let him come and go."

Liu Bei said: "Master Tao, don't worry, as long as we are here, we will definitely help defend Xuzhou City."

"I don't know what Xuande can do?" An old man looked at Liu Bei and asked.

This old man is Chen Gui, Chen Deng's father.

But in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you may know some things that their father and son did.

Lv Bu wanted to marry Yuan Shu, but Chen Gui and his son were afraid of Lv Bu's power, so they instigated Lv Bu not to marry someone like Yuan Shu. Later, Chen Deng and his son opened the gate of Xuzhou and let Cao Cao in.

Therefore, in a sense, Chen Deng and his son can be regarded as traitors.

Tao Qian immediately introduced Chen Gui's identity to Liu Bei, and after the two parties greeted each other, Liu Bei said, "Bei has nothing to do right now, but Bei believes that as long as we work together with the people of Xuzhou City, we will be able to defend Xuzhou City. "
