As for Zhang Fei's more than a hundred war cavalry, even if he lost his command, more than half of them were killed or injured, leaving only twenty or thirty people.

With the addition of soldiers, Yu Jin was also much more relaxed, and he was not at a disadvantage in the battle with Zhang Fei.

Half an hour later, Cao Jun saw that he had the chance to win, but at this moment, there was a sudden shout of killing from behind.

"Third Brother, don't panic! Guan Yu is here!"

"General Zhang, don't panic! We're coming!"

"kill!"

Hearing the sound, Yu Jin thumped in his heart, and quickly ordered to retreat. "Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

Seeing that Yu Jin was about to leave, Zhang Fei, who had been pressed and beaten for a long time, was willing to give up where he was, and immediately chased after him with a spear.

"Let's take a break from the ban! Fight Grandpa Zhang for another [-] rounds!"

Hearing Zhang Fei's voice, Yu Jin knew that he was not an opponent, so he hurriedly left five hundred soldiers in tears to block the pursuit, and led most of them to leave first.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei killed and scattered Cao's army, they lost the opportunity to pursue and kill them, so they could only escort more than a hundred prisoners and retreat to Xiapi.

In the prefect's mansion in the city, Liu Bei was talking happily with Chen Deng. The two talked and stopped, and occasionally burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Brother, we're back!" Before anyone arrived, the voice came first. Hearing Zhang Fei's voice, Liu Bei and the two quickly stood up to meet him.

Seeing Zhang Fei so happy, Liu Bei knew the result in his heart, so he said: "Second and third brothers have worked hard, sit down quickly!"

"Brother, Mr. Yuanlong is really a god. I, Lao Zhang, led the troops to chase after him, and he caught up with Cao Jun. If the second brother didn't come, I would have stabbed Yu Jin hundreds of holes!"

Zhang Fei said eloquently, as if Guan Yu didn't come, he could catch up with Cao Cao and take his head.

And Liu Bei knew Zhang Fei's heart, so he could only take the initiative to worry about some exaggerated words, sorted it out in his heart, and knew the cause and effect.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Bei said to Chen Deng: "Sir, now that Cao Jun has retreated, he is ready to go to Langye and report to Taozhou Mu. He is at ease."

Seeing this, Chen Deng didn't know what he meant, so he clasped his hands and replied, "Okay, Yuan Long hasn't seen my father for a long time, why don't we go with Ming Gong."

"It's so good." That's what Liu Bei was waiting for. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to ask Tao Qian for Chen Deng, as well as some more soldiers, horses, food and grass. He had grown his strength and occupied Xuzhou.

After earnestly explaining to Guan and Zhang to guard the city, Liu Bei led Chen Deng to set off in a hurry.

And Tao Qian, who was far away in Langye, learned that Cao Jun had retreated at this time, and finally let go of his worries for many days.

But then I thought about it, and there was a sense of sadness. Xuzhou was surrounded by powerful enemies. Cao Cao retreated this time, and it is inevitable that he will not come again next time.

Even if Cao Cao doesn't come, there are still Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, Tao Qian will never have peace, and will always face endless battles.

Moreover, all ministries in Xuzhou, including Cao Bao and others, still obeyed the arrangement, and the rest were all people with different intentions, which can be described as internal and external troubles.

Liu Bei is a good person, benevolent and loyal, and his performance in this battle is also remarkable. If Xuzhou is handed over to him, will he be able to save the lives of his family?

Tao Qian thought carefully in his heart, Xuzhou is just a hot thing in his hands, if he is reluctant to let go, he is afraid of losing people in Huicheng, so he has to retreat bravely!

He wanted to leave Xuzhou in his heart, but he had already made a decision at the moment of difficulty, and Tao Qian was in a dilemma. "Come here, invite Chen Gui to come, and say that you have important matters to discuss."

"Yes!" The servant who was waiting on the side heard the order, bowed and strode away.

Knowing Tao Qian's invitation, Chen Gui fell into thinking. Now that Cao Cao has retreated, what else does Tao Qian have to do, so anxious.

But under the constant urging of Tao Mansion servants, Chen Gui could only put away his thoughts and follow the man to Tao Mansion.

Following the servants who came to Tao Qian's room, seeing him lost in thought, Chen Gui saluted and said, "Han Yu has met Tao Zhou Mu."

"Oh, Han Yu is here, sit down quickly." Tao Qian put away his random thoughts, hurriedly welcomed Chen Gui to sit down, and then retreated all the servants.

Chapter 300 Big Ear's Good Thing Comes

Seeing such a scene, Chen Gui was shocked. It seemed that Tao Qian was making a big move. Could it be that he wanted to send troops to attack Cao Cao.

No, with his personality, he would definitely not dare to send troops to attack first. He couldn't guess the intention, so Chen Gui had no choice but to keep his mouth shut to avoid any misunderstanding.

Tao Qian got up and closed the door himself, then came to Chen Gui's side, and asked in a low voice: "Han Yu, Gong Zu regards you as a relative, this time you should help plan carefully."

Um! ?

Tao Qian said such a thing, could it be that he wanted to choose to take refuge in one of the princes.

"Despite the arrangements made by Mr. State Shepherd, Han Yu will definitely do his best." Chen Gui was still unclear, so he could only show his loyalty first.

Tao Qian nodded slightly, and quickly said: "Now Xuzhou has become a piece of fat in the eyes of the princes from all walks of life. Qian wants to give up the position of state herdsman, and intends to save the lives of the whole family. What does Han Yu think?"

"This, this..." Chen Gui wanted to break his head, but he never thought that Tao Qian would suddenly want to get out of Xuzhou, and his jaw almost dropped in a moment of shock.

Others squeezed their heads and tried desperately to plan a county or a state in this troubled world, but this Tao Qian actually wanted to send Xuzhou out of his hands?

But after thinking about it, Chen Gui felt relieved. After all, Xuzhou's position was too important. If he had no ambition, he would not be able to hold on to it for a long time even if he occupied it.

But Tao Qian is now old and has no fighting spirit in his heart. He will inevitably want to save his family's life and let go of the power in his hands.

Chen Gui asked Tao Qian, who was expecting to come, "Forget it, does Master Zhou already have a suitable candidate in his mind, why don't we discuss it?"

"Liu Bei, the patriarch of the Han family, what about this person?" Tao Qian whispered what was in his mind, wanting to see what Chen Gui thought.

Liu Bei?

This person looks gentle on the outside, benevolent and loyal, but he has a lot of plans in his heart, and whether he has a foundation behind him, if Xuzhou falls into his hands, he may not be able to hold on for long.

Chen Gui shook his head and said, "Why don't Zhou Mu choose one of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, it's better than Liu Bei."

Tao Qian chose Liu Bei because of his own thinking. After all, Cao and Yuan have not yet decided the winner. If they vote for one of them, the other party may hold grudges. In case of defeat, the Tao family has been operating for many years. I'm afraid it will be destroyed once.

Tao Qian replied helplessly: "Han Yu, the current situation is unclear. If you make a choice now, it's like taking a gamble. It's better to leave it to Liu Bei. Even if the city is lost by then, the two of them will not be able to find the old man. And Liu Bei will also be grateful to the old man, isn't it all beneficial and harmless."

It seems that Tao Qian has made up his mind, but he just wants to take the lead in supporting Liu Bei so that Liu Bei can take over Xuzhou smoothly.

Chen Gui quickly made up his mind and said, "That's fine, but Zhou Mu wants to try to see if Liu Bei is a benevolent person?"

"Huh? How to try?" Tao Qian approached a lot and asked impatiently.

Chen Gui replied: "If this battle is won, Liu Bei will definitely come. At that time, Zhou Mu will choose a place where there is no one, and hand over Xuzhou's letter seal to him. If he takes it immediately, this person must be a ungrateful person." If the person who refuses, then he is a person worthy of entrustment."

Tao Qian nodded slowly and said, "Okay, what Han Yu said is right, if you misread Liu Bei, wouldn't you be sending yourself to the tiger's mouth?"

……

…………

Two days later, Liu Bei led Chen Deng to Kaiyang City, and said goodbye to each other.
