"Great rivers and mountains!" Liu Bei stood alone on the city wall, looking at the scenery outside Tancheng City, and couldn't help but sigh.

He stretched out his hand and touched the city wall in front of him, cold and hard, there were blood stains on it that had long since dried up, and the sand particles were constantly rubbing under the palms of his hands, Liu Bei then patted his two hands and bounced off the dust on his hands.

The banner of the Cao army in the distance is faintly visible, fluttering with the wind of the mountain pass, with the passage of time, the banner of the Cao army is also more and more, the war between Cao Cao and Tian Kai and Liu Bei before, its losses are not, therefore, the withdrawal of the army rests for a few days, and then carries out a full-scale attack when the main force arrives in the rear.

"Liu Yuanjun, you are here!"

Hearing someone call him, Liu Bei turned around and turned out to be Mi Zhu.

"Ah, it's Zizhong, I'll take a look at the situation outside!" After Liu Bei finished, he turned around and looked into the distance again and said: "Cao's military strength is increasing day by day, and as soon as Tian Kai leaves, we no longer have the strength to compete with it!" ”

Liu Bei hammered the city wall in front of him with his hand and continued: "Xuzhou is magnificent, including six counties, such an outstanding state will fall into the hands of Cao Cao, it's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

"Liu Yuanjun, don't give up on yourself so quickly, we still have a glimmer of hope!" Mi Zhu never forgot a letter from that day, and he believed that this rebellion behind enemy lines would be successful.

"Hope?" Liu Bei turned his head and looked at Mi Zhu, who was also looking into the distance, and said, "Isn't there any news from Gongyou yet?" ”

Mi Zhu shook his head and said, "Well, not yet!" ”

Liu Bei once again fell into contemplation, went to the enemy's rear base camp to rebel, after all, it is a very dangerous thing, and the success rate is not high, Sun Gan can stand up and take on this task when he is in danger, it is enough to see that he is a person with great righteousness and responsibility, but the righteousness is the righteousness, the responsibility is the responsibility, and if the rebellion is not successful, Xuzhou will also be destroyed, and everything will become empty talk, and the character of Sun Gan will also be described by the victor as a person who will only do things that are not good.

"Is there anything going on with the Governor?" Liu Bei wanted to know what Tao Qian thought about the imminent plundering of Xuzhou or what preparations he had.

"Tao Qian has been secretly discussing with his confidant recently, and I don't know the specific content?" Mi Zhu said with a frown.

"His henchmen? Danyang people? Secret Discussion? Liu Bei said thoughtfully: "Guess what, what can they discuss with some Danyang people at this time now?" He had been with me before, Sun Jian's son Sun Ce was going to capture Jiangdong, and he was very worried about it! ”

"Very worried, worried about what?" Mi Zhu asked in surprise.

"I'm worried that Sun Ce will unify Jiangdong and then threaten Xuzhou!"

"Phew! This old fox! Mi Zhu scolded in a low voice: "How can he have foresight, even if Sun Ce really unifies Jiangdong, whether he will listen to Yuan Shu is still a question, once he doesn't listen, how can Yuan Shu tolerate him, besides, his father died at the hands of Liu Biao's subordinate Huang Zu, he didn't go west to avenge his father and chose to go north, isn't this another enemy for himself?" Unless Sun Ce is a fool, he will choose to set up a few more enemies when he is surrounded by enemies, but if he is really a fool, he will not be able to unify Jiangdong! ”

"That's good!" Liu Bei thought about what happened that day, and said, "I also answered him at the time, let him solve the matter of Cao Cao in front of him first!" ”

"His hometown is in Danyang, is he clearly looking for a way out for himself, these few eyes saw Cao Cao immediately overwhelmed the territory, he was discussing how to leave a way back for you, the reason why he was worried about Sun Ce was that he was afraid that Sun Ce would take Liyang, and he would have to obey the orders of a hairy man at that time!" Mi Zhu grasped the wall tile in front of him, and held it tightly, his hands turned red.

"Zizhong, let's go to the state pastor, when the time comes, it's really like you, it's over, Xuzhou can't be left without an owner for a day, now at this critical juncture, there must be no mistakes!" Liu Bei turned to Mi Zhu and said.

"Okay, let's go!" Zhu Zhu followed Liu Bei to the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, and at this time he said behind him: "I'm really worried about Sun Qian, I don't know if he's okay now?" ”

At this time, whoever said this, even he didn't have the confidence to go down.

"Zizhong, it is up to people to plan things, and things are to be successful, since we are the people of the Han Dynasty, we should swear to defend the territory of the Han Dynasty!" Liu Bei walked briskly, looking at the shops on both sides of the road, all of which had been closed, and the once brilliant and lively commercial streets had been dimmed.

"Liu Envoy Jun is righteous, and Mi Zhu admires, but we are not unprepared, Yuanlong has been following Tao Qian, I am afraid that he Tao Qian will run away with his Danyang soldiers at this time, regardless of the life or death of the people of Xuzhou!"

"Well, but I don't think the state pastor should be like this, after all, he has been here for a long time, although he is not from Xuzhou, but for such a long time, everything here is his own effort, he should not be so ruthless, leaving Xuzhou behind in times of crisis!"

"I hope Tao Qian will be like Liu Yuanjun!"

"Who's up ahead?" Liu Bei saw a person coming out of Tao Qian's mansion from a distance.

"Cao Bao!" Mi Zhu followed behind Liu Bei and said in a low voice.

"Cao Bao, is Lord Zhou Mu here?" Liu Bei asked.

"Ah, Pastor ...... The state pastor is here, and he is in it! Cao Bao looked nervous as soon as he saw Liu Bei and Mi Zhu, and said with a mechanical smile at this time.

"Okay, I have something to do with the state pastor, you can go and get busy!" Liu Bei stopped and looked at Cao Bao Dao.

"Something seems to be going on with him?" When Cao Bao walked away, Liu Bei quietly said to Mi Zhu: "I'm a little nervous again!" ”

"Let's go inside!" Mi Zhu hurriedly said.

"Let's go!" Liu Bei took three steps and made two steps, walked into the mansion, and saw Tao Qian sitting here reading a book at this time, so the two of them arched their hands and said: "My lord, let's discuss with you about counterattacking Cao Cao!" ”

"Oh, fight back against Cao Cao, come, sit down!" Tao Qian took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "How is Cao Cao's situation now?" ”

"Cao Cao's military camp is waving flags there, and there are more and more of them, probably the main force has been gathered, I estimate that they will attack Tancheng soon!" Liu Bei and Mi Zhu found a place and sat down.

"Oops, 50,000 troops!" Tao Qian put down the book in his hand, leaned back, sighed and said, "What is the concept of 50,000 troops, I don't know if you know it!" ”

"The mountains are all over the field, and you can't see the edge at a glance!" Liu Bei said casually.

"Well, yes, if you win, then naturally you don't have to, of course it's a good thing, so if you win, have you thought about what to do?"

"My lord, what do you mean by that, are you ready to start looking for a way out?" Mi Zhu asked in surprise.

"It's not a retreat, it's an insurance policy, take precautions, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, you have always heard the story of Meng Weijun!" Tao Qian stood up at this time, walked to the door alone, crossed his hands behind him, looked at the door and said: "Zizhong, Xuande, Xuzhou is now hopeless, under Cao Cao's attack, he has no room to resist, the previous alliance to crusade against Yuan Shao, how huge the momentum is, now, hehe, you see, this is about to become a dead city!" ”

Liu Bei and Mi Zhu looked at Tao Qian dumbfounded, and neither of them had a word.

"Gongsun Chan in the north, according to the report of the scouts, he was repeatedly defeated, forced to retreat to Yijing, and then the two armies held each other for more than a year, Yuan Shaobu retreated from the army with all the grain of Koji Yi, Gongsun Chan took advantage of the situation to attack, defeated Koji Yi, and got his car weight, but what can this be, he has already lost the hearts of the people in Youzhou, and finally went to perdition It can be seen, but it seems that when he heard that when he covered up the killing of Koji Yi, he killed his two brothers, one is called Gongsun Bin, and the other is called Gongsun Biao, and it is a living cramp and skin, it is cruel to think about!" When Tao Qian came here, he couldn't help but tremble: "It's sad, if you are like this to your own brothers, what can you do to the common people, according to Gongsun Zhan since he killed Gongsun Bin and Gongsun Biao, he has been drinking every day, and after getting drunk, he is in pain and tears, and he doesn't know what nerves he is making, maybe he is scared, and he also knows that he is going to fail, so he is repenting!" ”

Liu Bei and Mi Zhu still didn't speak, and continued to look at Tao Qian's self-talk.

"There is also Yuan Highway in Huainan, compared to his brother, he is really much worse, although his brother is not necessarily very good, they are just two gentlemen, with the kindness and residual power of the ancestors, he can succeed so quickly, of course, he fails very quickly!" Tao Qian came here, sighed deeply again, and said: "Yuan Shu is incompetent, he shouldn't have chosen to join Yuan Shu's team in the first place, he stood on the wrong team, and the consequence is that like me, I am hanging my head and living a life in fear, and I don't know when death will come!" ”

"Lord Governor, what are your plans, let's talk about it from the bottom of our hearts when we are here today!" Mi Zhu said at this time.

"Okay, let's dig out my heart, I decided to leave here and go back to Danyang, Yangzhou!" Tao Qian said.

"You finally chose to leave!" Mi Zhu was not surprised, because he had expected it with Liu Bei before, but he didn't expect Tao Qian to come out so openly.

"The days in Xuzhou, thanks to all of you for your care, but I don't want to stay, after all, I'm older, and the fighting spirit of the year has disappeared, and now I just want to live a stable life, not this kind of frightened days, I'm fed up!"

"Since you are so irresponsible, why did you insist on pulling me and Yuanlong to your side in the first place, you are Xuzhou's parent official, and when you are in trouble, you are not thinking about how to rescue Xuzhou, but thinking about how to find a way out for yourself, do you think you are worthy of the people of the six counties of Xuzhou, and are you worthy of the trust that the court placed in you back then?" The sentences are sonorous and powerful.

"I can't manage so much, Cao Cao's 50,000 iron cavalry will soon set foot in this Xuzhou, as a colleague for many years, I also kindly advise you, hurry up and pack up your things and leave, Cao Cao's ability to slaughter the city has been seen by you and me!" Tao Qian slowly walked up to Liu Bei and Mi Zhu and said, "I have already asked Cao Bao to go to the barracks to gather the army, and you should have seen him when you came just now!" ”

"What, you're going to take the army away!" Mi Zhu asked in surprise.

"These are Danyang soldiers, I'm leaving, they will only make trouble here, add to the chaos, and it's better to take them away!" Tao Qian walked back to his seat and slowly sat down.

Liu Bei and Mi Zhu also lowered their heads, and the two of them did not speak again.

"Report!" At this moment, a soldier hurried over.

"What's the matter?" Tao Qian asked.

The soldier looked at Liu Bei and Mi Zhu, but there was no at this time.

Tao Qian understood, so he said: "It's all your own people!" ”

"Yes, my lord, according to reports, Cao Cao's main force has been assembled, and now Tancheng has been surrounded, and all intersections have been blocked...... Slaughter the city! ”

"Poof~" When Tao Qian heard the news, his chest suddenly tightened, and blood spit out from his mouth, and then he fainted.
