Chapter 307: Three Let Xuzhou
And Liu Bei's three brothers lived quite well in Xuzhou.
Especially Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, in the battle to repel Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, the two gave full play to their bravery, killing the enemy in fear, and the names of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei resounded throughout Xuzhou. The two felt that their previous days were too boring, and it was still this feeling of fighting on the battlefield that the man wanted.
Not to mention Liu Bei, as the eldest of the three, all the credit is related to him. The people of Xuzhou were very grateful to Liu Bei for repelling foreign enemies for them and saving them from the suffering of war. It can be said that Liu Bei's prestige in Xuzhou is second only to Tao Qian, and even surpasses Tao Qian in some cities. Liu Bei likes Xuzhou very much, it is a large place, rich in products, all walks of life are thriving, and the characters are quite handsome. Liu Bei is used to living a hard life in the north, and as soon as he comes to this world of flowers, he doesn't want to leave.
Liu Bei is also ambitious for Xuzhou, and he knows his thoughts from the fact that he goes to various families and officials' mansions every day.
Tao Qian sent someone to invite Liu Bei, and Liu Bei dressed neatly and took his two brothers to the Assassin's Mansion. On the way, Liu Bei thought that Tao Qian was dying, what did he want to do at this time? Is it to leave Xuzhou? This is not impossible, and the news that Tao Qian is sick in bed is not a secret in Xuzhou. Tao Sheng and the pottery merchant also fought to inherit the position of assassin, Liu Bei was very worried that if Tao Qian felt that he would become a competitor or hidden danger to Tao Sheng and the pottery merchant in Xuzhou, then Tao Qian would definitely let himself leave Xuzhou.
If this is the case, Liu Bei has to prepare his rhetoric, he doesn't want to leave Xuzhou. All the states and counties in the world have owners, except for Xuzhou, Liu Yu really has nowhere to go.
Tao Qian took his two sons out to greet him in person, Liu Bei hurriedly ran over to support him, and said kindly: "Tao Yuanjun is in poor health, and he personally came out to greet Zaixia, which makes Zai Xia embarrassed." ”
Tao Qian waved his hand and said, "The old man hasn't arrived at that time yet, Xuande, please, let's have a good chat today." ”
Liu Bei respectfully helped Tao Qian to enter the gate together.
In the living room, Tao Qian had already prepared all kinds of wine and food, just waiting for Liu Bei.
After eating something, Tao Qian said with a smile: "The old man is incompetent, so that the people of Xuzhou were slaughtered by others, but fortunately Xuande stepped forward to save the people of Xuzhou from fire and water." The old man replaced wine with tea, and thanked Xuande for his kindness on behalf of the people of Xuzhou. ”
"Bei Nai is a member of the Han family, this is what should be done in the future." Liu Bei sensed that something was wrong, and Tao Qian's posture seemed to let him leave Xuzhou.
Tao Qian glanced at Tao Sheng and the pottery merchant, Tao Sheng and the pottery merchant hurriedly toasted Liu Bei and said, "My brothers thank Xuande Gong for his great kindness." ”
Liu Bei drank a glass of wine with a heavy face, and he was already sure that Tao Qian was going to drive him away, and his brain was constantly running thinking about how to deal with it.
"Does Xuande have any plans next?" Tao Qian asked with a smile.
Liu Bei secretly shouted that it was not good, this old thing was about to start driving people, and he couldn't fall into his routine.
"Actually, I thought about it below. Originally, he planned to leave after relieving the crisis for Lord Tao, but the situation in the world changed drastically, so Liu Bei had nowhere to go. It's really a trick. Liu Bei began to pretend to be pitiful.
Liu Bei's attitude was in Tao Qian's arms, Tao Qian showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "The old man has something to ask for, I don't know if Xuande can be fulfilled?" ”
"Master Tao, please speak up." Liu Bei was already ready, if Tao Qian drove him away, he would have already found a reason.
"The old man is dying, and his body is about to die. The two sons are not successful, this Xuzhou sees that there is no one to protect the people, and the old man wants to ask Xuande to take over the post of Xuzhou assassin. Tao Qian stated his purpose.
"What?!" Liu Bei was stunned, thinking that Tao Qian was going to get him away, but he actually gave Xuzhou away. Liu Bei really wanted to pinch himself, this wouldn't be a dream.
"What does Xuande think? The old man knew that this was a bit difficult for a strong man, and hoped that Xuande would take it reluctantly for the sake of the people of Xuzhou. Tao Qian also Liu Bei found enough reasons, so it was up to Liu Bei to agree or not.
Liu Bei's mind was blank, could it be Tao Qian's temptation, Liu Bei felt that no matter whether Tao Qian was true or false, he couldn't accept it at the moment.
"Master Tao, is this sarcasm! came down to save thousands of people from fire and water, Lord Tao did this, but he wanted to trap Liu Bei in unkindness and injustice? ! There is still something to do, so I will leave. After Liu Bei said this, regardless of Tao Qian's reaction, he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and left the Assassin's Mansion directly.
Tao Qian didn't expect Liu Bei to go so fast, it seems that this matter is not so simple.
When Liu Bei's three brothers returned to the house, Zhang Fei shouted, "Big brother, why don't you accept it?" That's the history of Xuzhou. ”
"Third brother, there is no gift in the world for no reason." Liu Bei just said this simply.
Guan Yu understood what Liu Bei meant, Zhang Fei couldn't understand it, and he wanted to ask Liu Bei, but was stopped by Guan Yu.
Liu Bei needed time to calculate the gains and losses, after all, the temptation of Xuzhou was too great, and Liu Bei couldn't figure out Tao Qian's routine.
After a period of time, Tao Qian invited Liu Bei to come to the door again, but Liu Bei directly refused.
In desperation, Tao Qian sent Chen Qi to lobby.
Chen Qi's arrival made Liu Bei finally understand Tao Qian's intentions. Tao Qian really wanted to entrust Xuzhou to him.
Chen Qi had in-depth communication with Liu Bei, patting his chest to ensure that the Xuzhou scholars would support Liu Bei.
Liu Bei rejoiced in patience, since it was someone else who begged him, then he had to behave a little more virtuous, but he still refused tactfully, and his tone was not as resolute as last time.
Chen Qi is a human spirit and has seen through Liu Bei's thoughts. However, he didn't say anything, and he didn't say it in front of Tao Qian.
After another period of time, Liu Bei was ready to agree that as long as someone came to complain, he would agree. The Assassin Mansion finally came, but it brought the news of Tao Qian's death.
Liu Bei secretly scolded himself for putting on too many postures before, and now Tao Qian is dead, and the dragons in Xuzhou are leaderless, in case something happens, the cooked duck flies, and Liu Bei doesn't know where to cry.
Liu Bei hurriedly took his two brothers, put on white clothes, and went to the Assassin's Mansion.
The Assassin's Mansion had gathered the entire Xuzhou civil and military, and Liu Bei cried sadly in front of Tao Qian's spiritual position, and tears fell down without money.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Qi once again told Tao Qian's entrustment before his death, hoping that Liu Bei could reluctantly take over the position of Xuzhou Assassin.
"You are sincere, Tao Yuanjun also has good expectations for Zaixia, but how can Zaixia do it." Ordinary people's words would have been told directly and magnificently, and then they would take over the big cake, but Liu Bei still chose not to follow the routine.
Chen Qi and others said a lot, but Liu Bei just didn't agree.
In the end, Chen Qi could only magnify his moves.
A large number of "people" gathered outside the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, crying and shouting in the hope that Liu Bei would succeed to the position of Xuzhou Assassin.
Liu Bei was suppressed, isn't this what he has always wanted. Liu Bei walked out of the Assassin's Mansion, helped up the "people" who were kneeling on the ground, and said a word that made people excited, and finally in the eager eyes of these "people", Liu Bei said that as long as the people did not dislike his low ability, he was willing to dedicate his life to the people of Xuzhou.
The "people" cheered and celebrated Liu Bei's appointment as the assassin of Xuzhou.
And Chen Jue, who was hiding behind, stroked his beard and smiled, and Liu Bei looked at each other, tacitly acknowledging each other.
In this regard, Liu Bei succeeded to the Xuzhou Assassin History, became a prince, and at the same time married the daughter of the Mi family as his wife, and embarked on the peak of his life.
Third, the story of Xuzhou is widely known, and the world praises Tao Qian's high wind and bright festival.
