Tai Shici's behavior of instigating Liu Bei's soldiers to rescue Gao Yi made Zhang Fei a little dumbfounded, he couldn't help but be furious, and was about to get on the horse and intercept it: "This guy is so unkind, he actually instigated our people!"

Liu Bei grabbed Zhang Fei: "These horses were originally given to us by Gao Fujun, and it doesn't hurt to give them back now, I don't want to owe him anything!"

Guan Yu didn't speak, a ripple appeared in his heart, how could his brother not owe Gao Yi something? Give money, food, land, and people, without asking for anything in return, and it was also a support for Gao Yi when his own armament was very tight, and now that my brother said this, is he going to completely draw a line with Gao Yi?

Liu Bei looked at the crowd that gradually disappeared in the sky, and secretly sighed in his heart that his prestige was still not enough, it was a pity that such a good army could not be recruited as subordinates, and it could not be used for himself, and it would be an enemy in the future.

He didn't know, he only knew that he had chosen to part ways with Gao Yi in an almost cold-blooded way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After pondering for a long time, Liu Bei sighed and said, "I am not as good as Gaofu Jun!"

Xuzhou City.

Although it was night, the city was already brightly lit, shining like day, the people were welcome, Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and his party to the front of the palace, Tao Qian and Kong Rong Tiankai with the same class of Xuzhou civil and military officials lined up in front of the palace and thanked him: "Xuzhou is safe and secure, all rely on the power of the king." ”

Liu Bei was ashamed for a while, and couldn't help but thank: "The prince of the mansion has a good reputation, and he has no merit, all of which are the plans of the prince of the high mansion, but it is a pity that he is not here, which makes Bei Xin very uneasy." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was embarrassed, and Tao Qian also knew that Gao Yi persuaded Cao Cao's army to retreat but was detained as a hostage, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"The prince has already set up a banquet for everyone, let's go to the table first!" Mi Zhu knew that it was not a way to continue to be so embarrassed, so he played a round road.

When everyone entered the house, Tao Qian invited Liu Bei to sit on the seat, and of course they pushed each other again.

Everyone sat down, and Liu Bei asked: "I heard that Cao Cao sent an envoy to agree to this peace, I don't know why, I wish to hear the details." ”

Tao Qian hesitated, but still said: "The old man is ashamed, Cao Cao's envoy said that everything said in the Xuande book is a rumor, and now Cao Cao has seen through this strategy, and he detained Gao Yi as a hostage, because Gao Yi's territory is much larger than that of Xuzhou, and he is much richer, so he is willing to withdraw from the army." ”

Liu Bei's face was dripping with sweat, and he was speechless for a long time.

"This is not right, if this is the case, then why Cao Cao did not continue to attack, but retreated in a panic, there must be something wrong in Yanzhou. Guan Yu said.

"Yes, Yanzhou has rebelled, and Chen Gong was sent by the old man to plan Zhang Miao's rebellion!" Tao Qian's words shocked the four seats.

Everyone talked about it, and Liu Bei was also taken aback, but he immediately recovered his expression and said: "It turns out that the prince of the palace has already set up a strategy to break the enemy, can you know it?"

"It doesn't hurt to say it, Cao Cao first got Yanzhou, worried that the people would not be convinced, so he took the opportunity to kill the celebrity and the people, and even countless people, not wanting to be self-defeating, so that everyone in Yanzhou is in danger, Chen Gong originally wanted to abandon Cao Cao and take refuge in Xuzhou, Zeng Xingye came to the old man for a long talk, the old man then suggested that he continue to lurk in Yanzhou and wait for the opportunity to move, now it seems that his strategy is successful, although Zhang Miao was defeated by Gao Yi and Yuan Shu before, but still has deep connections in Yanzhou, I heard that the fierce general Lu Bu as a help, it seems that Cao Cao will not survive this year, and the blood of tens of thousands of innocent people in Xuzhou will not be shed in vain！”

When Tao Qian said this, he was full of momentum that was not commensurate with his age.

"So we, the reinforcements, have been fighting Cao Cao here for several months, just to hold Cao Cao back and let the prince's plan be implemented?" Liu Bei thought for a while, endured the dissatisfaction in his heart, and asked humbly.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work! Originally, the old man couldn't wait for today, if it weren't for the reinforcements of Xuande and Wenju and the strategy of Gao Fujun, cough cough...... The old man hereby apologizes to you. As he spoke, Tao Qian drank all the wine in the cup.

"But Tao Fujun—" Zhang Fei stood up and yelled.

"Yide sit down!" Liu Bei immediately dragged Zhang Fei down.

"But big brother, weren't we being used by him?" Zhang Fei whispered.

"Don't say it!" Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

"General Zhang Fei, what were you going to say just now?" Tao Qian asked Zhang Fei.

"Uh......" Zhang Fei wanted to say something, but saw Liu Bei pulling his robe at him, so he sighed and said: "Fujun Yingming, I wanted to toast you with a glass of wine just now, but the eldest brother didn't let me live or die, saying that I drank and made a mistake!"

"You might as well do it, now that the war is over, everyone should drink hard!" Tao Qian said.

After three rounds of drinking, Tao Qian's face showed a slight red light, and he got up and said to everyone: "The old man is old, the second son is not talented, embarrassed by the country's heavy responsibility, Xuande Gong is the emperor's family, the virtue is high, and he can lead Xuzhou, and the old man is willing to beg for leisure and recuperate." ”

Liu Beizheng felt self-sad, he had been drinking stuffy wine, and when he heard Tao Qian's words, he was taken aback, almost vomited a table of wine, and hurriedly said: "I am ready to save Xuzhou, it is for righteousness, I am hating myself for having no merit to show it, and I have been repeatedly defeated by Cao Cao, I am really ashamed." If there is no reason to have it in Xuzhou, wouldn't everyone in the world think that they are unrighteous people?"

Mi Zhu said: "This is not the case, the Han Dynasty is late, Haiyu is subverted, the traitor is in charge, the villain is ambitious, and the tree is meritorious. ”

Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu and said: "Although what Zizhong said is good, but Bei also knows his ability, and he is too stubborn to be able to do his job for a Runan Taishou, and Xuzhou is a huge place, so he will never dare to accept the order in this matter." ”

Chen Deng, who had not spoken, spoke: "If you want to keep high righteousness and do not give up, then Xuzhou has no lord to trust, and the people will suffer this disaster for a long time? ”

Although Zhang Fei, who had been standing by Liu Bei's side for a long time, did not understand these negative sophistries of affirmation and negation, he knew that his eldest brother had the hope of becoming the pastor of Xuzhou, if that was the case, he would be able to command more men and horses to fight, and he would no longer be a poor sour man who only led more than a thousand people to fight.

But Zhang Fei was about to say something but was stopped by Liu Bei, he said: "Yuan Highway is the fourth and third dukes, and he is in Shouchun today, why not let him go with the state?"

"No, no, no!" Kong Rong on the other side clapped his hands and laughed, "The so-called four worlds and three dukes are already dry bones in the grave, so why should they worry about it? Yuan Highway is immoral and incompetent, lacks strategy and little wisdom, fought with Cao Cao in the past, frustrated the ground, fled for 600 miles, and could not eat and sleep at night when he heard the name of Cao, how can he easily entrust it to the lord of Xuzhou? Xuande wants to get a clear name, and has the ambition to gallop the world, no state and no county, can not wait for the old dead boudoir? is it a fallacy, don't you listen to the sky and take it, but suffer the blame? regret can not be chased, time does not wait, I hope Xuande will think twice. ”

Liu Bei was like a mang on his back, like a fish in his throat, like walking on thin ice, like sitting on pins and needles in the abyss, but he just shook his head vigorously.

Seeing this, Tao Qian snot and tears came out together: "If you let the old man go, the old man will not be blinded!"

Guan Yu couldn't stand it: "Since the monarch of Tao Mansion has given way, why doesn't my brother have the right to take charge of state affairs?"

Zhang Fei also waved his hand and said: "It's not the state and county that I forced him, he is kind to him, why bother to refuse?"

Liu Bei said angrily: "You want to trap me in injustice?"

Tao Qian saw that Liu Bei repeatedly pushed back, so he retreated and said: "If Xuande will refuse to obey, this near the city, the name is Xiaopei, enough to garrison the army, please Xuande temporarily garrison this city, in order to protect Xuzhou, how so?"

"Yes, yes, that's all it takes, you can't let Master Tao kneel down and beg you, right?" Kong Rong said.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!" Liu Bei is indeed not easy to refuse, but his heart is very uncomfortable, after all, he has already made a little famous in Runan, and he came to rescue Xuzhou because he didn't want to be said to be relying on Gao Yi's help, but he didn't think that it was Gao Yi's credit to finally solve the siege of Xuzhou, Runan He must not be able to go back, and he was laughed at by the world when he went back, Xiaopei is not bad here, and he can also fight more battles to exercise himself.

Xiao Pei?

Liu Bei was suddenly a little stunned.

Isn't Xiao Pei the place where Gaozu raised his troops back then? Tao Qian sent him here, obviously with a deep meaning!

Thinking like this, Liu Bei couldn't help but look at Tao Qian, but it happened to collide with Tao Qian's eyes when he looked at him, and his eyes were full of expectations: "Xuande, Xiaopei is a blessed land and a dangerous land, don't let the old man down!"

"Tao Fujun rest assured, with Liu Bei in one day, he will definitely not let Cao Cao cross Xiaopei with a single soldier!"

Isn't this what he decided to sweep the world for? Anyway, it is not the first time that he has sent people under the fence, and Liu Bei believes that if the fog clears, he will eventually see a sunny day.

But Liu Bei didn't know that a trace of his imperceptible character in the battle of Xuzhou was captured by Guan Yu, and it also made Guan Yu change many of his previous views on Liu Bei.

He can't, so he won't, because Liu Bei is Liu Bei, Guan Yu is Guan Yu, sometimes the key is not the similarity of each other, but the difference between each other.
