Chapter 1348: Three Ying vs. Luo Shixin
After Liu Bei was overwhelmed by Huang Chao and had more plains, he could have taken refuge in Beihai Kong Rong, who was closer, and Kong Rong would definitely take him in, after all, when Huang Chao attacked Beihai, Liu Bei sent troops to help Kong Rong, and Kong Rong still owed Liu Bei a bad way not to pay it back.
For Liu Bei. Taking refuge in Kong Rong is the best choice, but Kong Rong has been scared by Huang Chao, afraid of Huang Chao like a tiger, and watching Huang Chao take away his own plain.
After that, he didn't help Liu Bei recapture the plain, which made Liu Bei have a grudge against Kong Rong in his heart, so he didn't choose to send people under Kong Rong's fence, but chose Tao Qian in Xuzhou, who was farther away.
Liu Bei was driven out of Qingzhou like a lost dog, but for Tao Qian, it was simply a send-off in the snow.
Xuzhou has not even won a battle so far, and even if it can't defend it, it has been constantly losing and retreating, and only one place has been lost.
The Xuzhou army has been abused by Zhu Yuanzhang and lost his temper, everyone has lost confidence in the future, if it weren't for Tao Qian's death rather than surrender, I'm afraid Zhu Yuanzhang would have already unified the land of Xuzhou, two counties and four countries.
In Tao Qian's heart, Zhu Yuanzhang is a thief, he would rather die for the Han Dynasty than give in to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Under repeated defeats, although Tao Qian still did not give up, he would also summarize the reasons for the failure, he found that there were too few fierce generals in the Xuzhou army, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not need to dispatch Luo Shixin and Xue Ju, just one Xiang Zhuang, and no one in the Xuzhou army was an opponent.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang's command ability in battle was too strong, and no one in the Xuzhou army could compete with him.
The Xuzhou Army is too short of talents, whether it is a general or a handsome talent, the Xuzhou Army is lacking!
As soon as he thought of this, Tao Qian felt hopeless about the future in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but miss Sun Wu's days under his command.
Tao Qian regretted it in his heart, why didn't he listen to Sun Wu's advice at the beginning, if he had heard it, Zhu Yuanzhang might have died, how could he still be in the current situation?
What Tao Qian didn't know was that he could make Sun Wu miserable, and when he missed Sun Wu, Sun Wu hated him to death.
When Tao Qian was remorseful, Liu Bei took the initiative to vote, which made Tao Qian very happy.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, aren't they all fierce generals!
Liu Bei rose to the end of Wei, and even fought against Huang Chao, isn't it the handsome talent he has been waiting for!
The things that the Xuzhou army lacked the most were all sent to the door at once!
Tao Qian gave Liu Bei the highest standard of greeting, and afterwards treated him extremely favorably and courteously, and even ignored the opposition of his generals and let Liu Bei command part of Xuzhou's military power.
Liu Bei did not disappoint Tao Qian, after he joined Xuzhou, he strengthened the training of the Xuzhou army, enhanced the overall combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou army, and then repelled several attacks of the Ming army, so that the Xuzhou army regained the confidence to protect Xuzhou.
In fact, Liu Bei's so-called repelling the attack of the Ming army, except for the first time, the others were all tentative attacks of the Ming army, just for pretence.
Tao Qian naturally knew this, but considering that the Xuzhou army needed hope too much, so he would publicize it to the outside world, and it was Liu Beicheng who repelled the attack of the Ming army, and as a result, the Xuzhou army was really demoralized, and this propaganda was also understood by Zhu Yuanzhang as the arrogance of the Xuzhou army.
Only the first attack of the Ming army was true, and the reason why it was repelled by Liu Bei's army was also because of insufficient preparation before the battle, which shows that even so, Liu Bei used the strength to eat.
That battle can be called the battle of the transformation of the Xuzhou army, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei joined forces, first defeated Xiang Zhuang and other generals, and then defeated Xue Ju and his son, and finally the three joined forces against Luo Shixin.
In the face of Luo Shixin, a peerless fierce general who had drawn with Li Yuanba, even if Liu Guanzhang joined forces, he was still not an opponent.
That battle was a life-and-death battle for Sanying, if it weren't for the breakthrough of Guan and Zhang under great pressure, Liu Bei would have been killed by Luo Shixin.
After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei broke through, the former's basic force was 104 and reached the peak of the god general, while the latter was 103.
After breaking through the pass, Liu Bei was rounded again, and Sanying fought against Luo Shixin, although he still couldn't defeat Luo Shixin, and he was still at a disadvantage, but he could barely remain undefeated.
The two sides fought for a hundred rounds, Tao Qian saw that Sanying lacked stamina and was worried that Sanying would lose, so he took the initiative to recall Mingjin, while Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to withdraw his troops due to lack of food and grass.
After this time, after adding several temptations after that, Liu Guanzhang and the three of them greatly increased their prestige in Xuzhou, and the existence of the three of them made the Xuzhou army see the hope of holding Xuzhou, and Tao Qian also wanted to give up Xuzhou's pasture to Liu Bei.
The reason why Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei, an outsider, was mainly because of his previous experience of repeated defeats, and let him understand that he couldn't keep Xuzhou at all, so it was better to find a new captain for this ship.
Tao Qian really didn't dare to face Zhu Yuanzhang, he wanted to get out of the quagmire in Xuzhou, so he sincerely wanted Liu Bei to take over the mess in Xuzhou.
Liu Bei didn't know Tao Qian's thoughts, the first time Tao Qian let Xuzhou do, he thought that Tao Qian was testing himself, so he refused very firmly.
When Tao Qian asked Xuzhou for the second time, Liu Bei knew that Tao Qian was serious and was not testing himself, and he probably guessed Tao Qian's intentions.
For Liu Bei, who is now homeless, although Xuzhou is a mess and there is only one county, there is still a great temptation, after all, it is better to have a mess than nothing.
However, Liu Bei finally rejected Tao Qian, because he knew that Tao Qian had no other choice but himself, and he would definitely let it go a third time.
Sure enough.
Soon after, Tao Qian gave way to Xuzhou for the third time, and this time Tao Qian went to the hospital bed, there was a big look that you Liu Bei didn't answer, and I Tao Qian didn't blink to death, so that Liu Bei couldn't open his mouth even if he wanted to refuse.
Under the persuasion of the ministers of Xuzhou and the persuasion of Guan Zhang's two righteous brothers, Liu Bei took over the seal of Xuzhou Mu from Tao Qian and became the next Xuzhou Mu after Tao Qian.
After Liu Bei became the pastor of Xuzhou, the Xuzhou family took refuge one after another, and Chen Qi, the head of the Chen family in Xiapi, brought his son Chen Dengju to serve.
Although the Mi family moved to Nanyang to take refuge in Qin Hao, Mi Fang was also left to take care of the Mi family's remaining industries in Xuzhou, Xuzhou was so troubled by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Mi family's industry in Xuzhou and there was not much left, Mi Fang was congested by Liu Bei's fooled head, and he didn't listen to the dissuasion of his retainers and had to follow Liu Bei to create a career, so he took all the remaining industries of the Mi family to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei, who received the full support of the Xuzhou family, was rectifying the military and politics internally while needing reinforcements externally, and he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not give him much time to prepare.
Just before Zhu Yuanzhang's army was about to fight again, Liu Bei received the news that Qin Hao had won the Battle of Hetao and killed Emperor Temujin of Yuan.
