Chapter 381: Three Lets Xuzhou (3)

"What! Principal Tao is gone! This is impossible, I just checked his pulse the day before yesterday, and even if Principal Tao can leave, he won't be so fast!

Mi Zhu, what's going on, could it be that something big happened in Xiapi yesterday? ”

Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu in disbelief, thinking that there must be something going on that he didn't know.

But when he saw Mi Zhu, he shook his head and said, "The lord wanted to summon you yesterday to discuss the matter of wanting Xuzhou again." It's just that at that time, you took someone to investigate the attack on the troops, and you happened to be absent.

So the lord and I discussed with Chen Deng, thinking about how to persuade you to accept Xuzhou. It's just that in the end, there is no particularly effective way. But the lord ......"

Mi Zhu said as he recalled yesterday's situation.

Tao Qian was lying on the sickbed as always, and discussed Liu Bei's affairs with them weakly.

When he saw that the two of their right-hand men didn't have any good plans, he sighed softly and said, "I know that Liu Bei has concerns, and if he rashly accepts my position in this special period, it will cause criticism.

Obviously came to support and help us resist Cao Cao. But on the contrary, he has become the master of Xuzhou, especially when I am still alive, it is easy for people to gossip, I am afraid that few people can accept it!

So now there is only one way to let him take my place, and that is to wait for me to die, and you will issue a decree to him to succeed me. ”

Seeing that Tao Qian's words vaguely had a desire to seek death, Mi Zhu and Chen Deng immediately knelt down on their knees in front of his sickbed.

"The lord must not talk nonsense, even if your body is still resistant after a few decades, how can you talk about life and death lightly!

Besides, Xuzhou still needs you to supervise it, even if Liu Bei succeeds to your position, you are still needed to help him manage the principals in various places! ”

"Hehe~! You have said that I am too important, even without my assistance, with Liu Bei's experience in ruling the three states, will you not be able to deal with them? ”

Seeing that the two were silent, Tao Qian breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "And you should have seen the strength of Liu Bei's team, even Cao Cao's elite troops are not its opponents. Xuzhou is foolproof with him! ”

The more Tao Qian spoke, the quieter his voice became, and his tone revealed the meaning of farewell, so that Mi Zhu and Chen Deng couldn't help but grab his hand and said, "Lord, there is hope to live." If you're dead, there's nothing! ”

"Yes! There is hope in life, but I have reached the time when the oil is exhausted, and I still leave this hope to the people in Xuzhou.

Zizhong, Yuanlong, after I die, you must hand over this wooden box to Liu Bei. And you must persuade him to succeed me. Let him continue to protect the people of Xuzhou for me! ”

After listening to Tao Qian's deathbed entrustment, Mi Zhu and Chen Deng sobbed: "Lord~! We understand, you can rest assured that we will complete the tasks you have assigned. The people of Xuzhou, we will definitely take care of it for you! ”

saw Tao Qian hand over the wooden box to the two of them, and then waved his hand weakly, signaling that they could leave.

Outside the Tao Mansion, Chen Deng looked at the wooden box on Mi Zhu's chest, and sighed: "Zizhong, it seems that you and I are about to change hands!" ”

"Alas! There is no way around it. The lord's health in recent years has not been very good, but he encountered Cao Cao again. If Liu Bei hadn't sent troops to support, I'm afraid that we would already be the souls of Cao Cao's sword by now!

So the lord has this idea, and I can understand it. Just thinking that such a good person as the lord is about to leave us, my heart is uncomfortable! ”

Seeing that Mi Zhu's eyes became red again, Chen Deng was also sour by what he said. stepped forward and patted Mi Zhu on the shoulder and said softly: "Zizhong, in the final analysis, this matter is still caused by Zhang Min and Cao Cao. None of this would have happened without them. So I Chen Yuanlong swears here, I must make sure that they will not die well! ”

Mi Zhu nodded sympathetically, and also vowed to make them pay.

In this way, the two began to silently think about how to persuade Liu Bei to accept the wooden box in their hearts, and thought about how to persuade him to deal with Cao Cao and Zhang Min after he accepted it.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that not long after they and Tao Qian separated, bad news came from Tao Qian's mansion.

It is said that Tao Qian's condition suddenly worsened, he fell unconscious on the sickbed, and finally died after being rescued by the doctor.

At the gate of Xiapi City, Liu Bei listened to Mi Zhu's words, looked at the wooden box he handed over, and suddenly said with tears in his eyes: "I didn't expect such a benevolent and generous person to be so gone!" But Principal Tao, how can I, Liu Bei, He De, actually let you be like this! ”

Needless to say, Liu Bei had already guessed that this was Tao Qian's death to fulfill himself. Otherwise, with his judgment, Tao Qian would not have died so soon, even if he was already terminally ill.

So the only explanation is that he ended his life early to let himself inherit the family business in Xuzhou with peace of mind.

At this moment, in addition to his gratitude to Tao Qian, he also has a sense of responsibility to the people of Xuzhou.

"Principal Tao, don't worry, I will definitely help you manage Xuzhou. I swear! ”

Silently made an oath in his heart, and Liu Bei slowly took the wooden box. And said to Mi Zhu on the ground: "Principal Tao is determined by death, if I don't accept this kindness, I'm afraid that heaven will not tolerate it." Therefore, I took over the position of the king of Xuzhou! ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, he immediately saluted and said: "Subordinate Mi Zhu, Mi Zizhong, see the lord!" ”

"This~!"

Cao Bao, who was taken back to Xiapi by Liu Bei all the way, saw this, and his eyes were about to pop out.

"What's going on? Tao Qian died, and then announced that Liu Bei would succeed him? Doesn't that mean that it is Liu Bei himself who will sentence me later! Wouldn't I be dead! ”

Cao Bao had already used the credit he had accumulated before, so that even if he was punished, it would not be too serious.

didn't expect Tao Qian to die like this, and he actually gave the position to Liu Bei. This is simply preparing for his death!

Cao Bao had the intention of running away in his heart at this moment. The people who watched left and right all looked at Liu Bei, and no one noticed him. So Cao Bao's feet slowly retreated, ready to take advantage of his unpreparedness.

It's just that he had barely taken a few steps backwards when he felt like he was hitting a wall. When he looked back, he found that Zhang Fei was looking at him coldly.

"What, you're going to slip away? I hurt my brother and want to leave like this, do you think it's possible? ”

Zhang Fei spoke, and without waiting for Cao Bao to explain, he picked it up and threw it directly in front of Liu Bei and said, "Big brother, this guy was about to run away just now, and I hit him." ”

Seeing Liu Bei's eyes, he suddenly turned cold: "Principal Cao Bao, it is a felony for you to poison your allies without authorization." Now that you want to run away without a verdict, it seems that you think that the crime you are carrying is still small, and you want to add a degree of guilt! In that case, then I can only fulfill you! ”

Liu Bei spoke, and said to Mi Zhu on the side: "Punish this person with a cane for thirty years, put him in prison, and wait for me to officially take charge of Xuzhou before I leave!" ”

Cao Bao was beaten thirty feet in front of everyone like this, so that when he left, he was taken away.

And after Liu Bei gave the order, he didn't care about him. looked at the wooden box in his hand, and slowly opened it under the curiosity of Zhang Fei and others.

I saw that in addition to the proof-printed token, there was an additional letter.

Liu Bei, who was puzzled, immediately opened it, and then after a while, his eyes moistened.

It turned out that this was a letter that Tao Qian specially left for him. The above clearly explained his previous two temptations, in order to confirm whether Liu Bei can really govern Xuzhou.

Because he didn't want his efforts in Xuzhou to be ruined by the peace he had worked so hard to build, he needed to seriously consider Liu Bei's character. And let Mi Zhu take care of Liu Bei and his party in order to facilitate the secret observation of him.

At the end of the letter, Tao Qian solemnly apologized to Liu Bei for his previous temptation. As compensation, he voluntarily took poison and died as an atonement for his sin.

At the same time, I hope that Liu Bei will see his good intentions and let him guard Xuzhou for himself and avoid being slaughtered! And his two sons who are placed in Yangzhou also hope that he can help take care of one or two if possible.

"Alas! is the same as the three Xuzhou, but I didn't expect the final outcome to be like this. It seems that this is fate! ”

Silently put away the letter, for Tao Qian's deathbed trust, he was determined to complete it very well. Not only for himself, but also for Tao Qian's heart of loving the people like a son!

At this time, Mi Zhu saw Liu Bei's moist eyes, and he could roughly guess what Tao Qian said in the letter without asking.

So he hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the tissue, and pleaded with Liu Bei: "Lord, this matter is all because of Zhang Min and Cao Cao, on behalf of the people of Xuzhou, I beg you to send troops to recruit them and avenge the old lord!" ”

I saw Liu Bei nodding: "If you don't say this, I will do it too." It's just that Cao Cao's matter involves Liu Xie, and he can't act rashly for the time being.

But Zhang Min and other remnants of the Yellow Turbans not only killed Cao Song out of the sight of wealth, causing the danger of Xuzhou, but also secretly ambushed my army and caused my brother to fall into a coma, I must avenge this revenge! ”

Hearing Liu Bei's words, although he was a little unwilling to be able to crusade against Cao Cao, but the situation was like this, and he couldn't say anything.

After leading Liu Bei and others into Xiapi City, Mi Zhu directly brought him and his subordinates to Xiapi University. Then, with the help of Chen Deng, he directly and publicly announced that Liu Bei would succeed him as the president of Xiapicheng University, and that Xuzhou would be merged into the Taoyuan Army from today.

Hearing the news, the entire university immediately set off an uproar.

"What, the old headmaster just died, so the new headmaster has been chosen? And this person is still here to support our Liu Bei! Could there be some inside story in this? ”

"That is, Liu Bei not only succeeded to the position of principal, but also included the entire Xuzhou into his own power, I am afraid that no one will believe it if there is no problem!"

"You're thinking too much! Liu Bei is a prince who owns the land of Sanzhou, if he really wants to annex our Xuzhou, will he still play any conspiracy? Didn't you see that the Cao family army that made us frightened was beaten away, and it was too simple for him to annex us! ”

"Hmmm! And now there are the right-hand men of the two old principals, Mi Zhu Chen Deng, if there is really any inside story, I don't think they will take the initiative to stand up! ”

For a while, the school had mixed opinions about Liu Bei's succession as principal, and there were all kinds of ideas. But fortunately, Mi Zhu and Chen Deng spoke for Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also appeared in front of everyone with the school seal, so most people had no opinion on Liu Bei's succession as principal.

However, what is not lacking in this world is all kinds of intrigues and intrigues.

It is not without people who covet Tao Qian's position, and there are these people's eyeliner in Xiapi University.

Not long after Liu Bei announced the succession ceremony of the president in the university, several pigeons flew out of Xiapi City, which shows that there are not a few ambitious people in Xuzhou.

It's just that I saw Huang Zhong guarding outside Xiapi City, looking at the carrier pigeons flying out of the city, the bow in his hand shook for a while, and he saw a rain of pigeons in the sky.

The corners of his mouth were raised, and with a wave of his hand, several of his subordinates went up to put away the carrier pigeon.

Then I saw Huang Zhong carrying a cage of pigeons and came to the principal's office to see Liu Bei.

"Big brother, as you said, not long after you assumed the position of headmaster, a large number of carrier pigeons flew out of the city gate. You see, my prepared cage is almost full! ”

"Hehe~! Principal Tao Qian is an honest person and is deeply loved by the people of Xuzhou. But this can only be said that he is very good at governance!

However, it can be seen from the military situation in Xuzhou that he is still lacking in management. So there will definitely be people who disagree with him and even want to replace him. It is only natural to send people into Xiapi University to monitor! ”

Liu Bei said as he reached out to take the contents of the letter that Huang Zhong had sorted out for him, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle slowly.

"I didn't expect that the presidents of colleges and universities in the six counties of Xuzhou and the other five counties all planted eyeliner in Xiapi. It seems that Xuzhou is not as peaceful as it seems!

But this is normal, after all, everyone wants to be in charge. It's just that now that this position has been occupied by me, then it's time to stop these people's thoughts! ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he asked Huang Zhong to see Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun all in the office.

Then he said to them: "Thanks to the care of President Tao Qian, let me serve as the president of Xiapi University and lead the schools in Xuzhou." So Xuzhou is now also the sphere of influence of our Taoyuan Army!

In that case, no other lawbreakers are allowed to exist in our territory. The remnants of the Yellow Turban who ambushed Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong before were one of them! ”

Hearing Liu Bei mention this, Zhang Fei stood up with an excited face and said, "Big brother, if you want to clear those yellow turban thieves, I am willing to be the vanguard." ”

Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun saw Zhang Fei like this, and immediately stood up and said loudly: "I am also willing to ask for my life to fight!" ”

"Good! However, there is a saying that the outside must first be inside. Therefore, before crusading against them, I want you to go to the four counties of Langya, Donghai, Guangling, and Pengcheng respectively and seize their military power. Can you do it? ”

"This~!"

The four of them were suddenly a little confused.

If they were to lead the troops into battle, they would be absolutely confident. But let them intrigue with those old slippery heads, then they won't have that confidence!

And seeing their confessional appearance one by one, he smiled helplessly.

"Forget it, I'll leave these things to Li Ru. A few of you will listen to Li Ru's arrangement for the time being! ”
