Chapter 68: Asking for Help Everywhere
"Lord, you must be cautious in using troops this time, then Lu Bu led the troops out of Chang'an and wandered around, and his subordinates are worried that Lu Bu will take advantage of the time when the lord attacks Xuzhou to deal with me Yanzhou!"
Xun Yu said worriedly.
"And what do you think should be?"
Cao Cao frowned, after a few days, although Cao Cao was still angry, at least he was able to think calmly.
"Leave at least one top general and 30,000 soldiers and horses, otherwise I am afraid it will be difficult to resist Lu Bu!"
Xun Yu said solemnly, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses now do not exceed 120,000, which means that if he does what Xun Yu said, Cao Cao will not be able to take away 100,000 soldiers and horses this time.
"A certain general will leave the vast sea, but these 100,000 soldiers and horses must be taken away, and a certain will not only take Xuzhou but also slaughter Xuzhou City."
Cao Cao said strongly and cruelly, Cao Cao's attitude shows how much the death of Cao Song and others hit Cao Cao this time.
"Since the lord has decided, his subordinates will not say more!"
Xun Yu saw that Cao Cao was so determined, so he didn't speak, and he wasn't sure if Lu Bu would come, after all, according to the news, Lu Bu was using troops against Bingzhou. Therefore, it is okay to leave behind the vast sea and 20,000 troops.
Cao Cao did not conceal that he had a plan to attack Xuzhou, but instead announced it to the world.
In the name of Tao Qian's murder of his father and brother, he raised troops to fight, and when Tao Qian learned the news, he immediately sent his son and his nephew to ask for help.
Youzhou,
"Gongsun Taishou, please save my life in Xuzhou!"
It was Tao Qian's nephew who spoke, and in order to express his sincerity, Tao Qian specially sent his son, and the nephew asked for help everywhere.
"Tao Thorn History has an old relationship with a certain one, but a certain Youzhou is confronting that Yuan Shao, how can he send troops to aid Xuzhou, this is one of them, and secondly, a certain army to Xuzhou will inevitably pass through Jizhou, so how can Yuan Shao allow such a so."
Although Gongsun Zhan is murderous, he is righteous in his heart, Tao Qian is a loyal minister of the Han family, he still hopes to help, but unfortunately he can't do it.
"Alas!"
Tao Qian's nephew sighed helplessly, he had thought of this result before coming to Youzhou, but after hearing the result, he was finally lost.
"But I know that there are people in this world who can save Xuzhou."
Gongsun Chan said with a smile.
"I don't know who it is?"
Tao Qian's nephew was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
"Liu Bei of Qingzhou is a relative of the Han family, with benevolence and righteousness, and he also respects the history of Tao Thorn, if you go to him, you will definitely succeed."
After Liu Bei gathered Guan Hai's forces, he now has a strong force, with an army of 100,000 under his command, but his descendants are not too many.
"Don't hide it from Gongsun Taishou, the pottery merchant has gone to Qingzhou to ask for help from Liu Yuanjun."
Liu Bei is still a county commander, and he is not even a taishou, as for the reason, it is naturally because the three brothers of Liu Bei are too proud and stubborn and unwilling to please Li Guo and the others.
"Then I don't know if you have gone to find Sun Ce in Jiangdong?"
Gongsun Chan asked with a smile.
"This Sun Ce, he didn't send anyone!"
Tao Shang's nephew shook his head, Sun Ce has been using troops aggressively recently, and the people in Xuzhou naturally know that Tao Qian was afraid that finding Sun Ce would become a wolf into the house, so he did not send someone to find Sun Ce.
"Sun Ce's soldiers are strong and strong, and when Cao Cao united with Yuan Shao to design his father Sun Jian, Sun Jian was seriously injured and died, for Cao Cao, Sun Ce must have hatred, if Sun Ce is willing to help Xuzhou, not only can he retreat from Yanzhou's troops, but even hit Cao Cao's forces hard."
Gongsun Chan said solemnly that after making two transactions, Gongsun Chan was extremely concerned about Sun Ce, and after learning of his series of actions, he attached great importance to Sun Ce.
"Uncle is afraid of inviting Sun Ce to become a wolf into the house, after all, Sun Ce's ambition is no longer what it used to be."
Tao Qian's nephew hesitated for a while, but finally spoke.
"In that case, it's up to you to decide."
Hearing this, Gongsun Chan no longer persuaded him.
"Thank you, Lord Taishou!"
Tao Qian's nephew thanked Gongsun Zhan.
"Although I can't help Xuzhou, I still hope that Xuzhou can survive this hurdle."
Gongsun Chan said solemnly.
"Thank you!"
Tao Qian's nephew thanked him again.
At the same time, Tao Qian's son Tao Ying went to Jizhou and also met Yuan Shao.
"Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou is your father's own fault, and he can't blame others."
Yuan Shao's attitude is completely different from Gongsun Zhan, not to mention his relationship with Cao Cao, in fact, Yuan Shao also wants to eat Xuzhou, so he naturally will not help Xuzhou.
And he is not only guarding against Gongsun Zhan, but also guarding against Lu Bu, where does he have the time and troops to make up for the affairs of Xuzhou.
"Lord Assassin Shi, after you are the third prince of the fourth world, the leader of the Eighteenth Route Princes, why are you so ruthless."
Tao Ying's face was extremely ugly, in his opinion, if Yuan Shao helped, Xuzhou would definitely be able to escape, but unfortunately Yuan Shao's attitude made him extremely disappointed.
"Needless to say, it is impossible for this official to help you in Xuzhou."
Yuan Shao said firmly.
Hearing this, Tao Ying was desperate, Yuan Shao didn't help Xuzhou, he didn't know who else could save Xuzhou.
……
Qingzhou,
The potter finally saw Liu Bei, Qingzhou was originally the closest to Xuzhou, and it was the best to ask for help, but until this moment, the potter who went to Qingzhou did not see Liu Bei.
As for the reason, it was not because Liu Bei didn't see him, but because he didn't pay attention to Liu Bei, and on the way to Qingzhou, he stopped and stopped.
"The potter has seen Liu Yuanjun!"
After all, I'm here to ask for help. The potter still knows some measure.
"I've seen Childe!"
As the master, although Liu Bei is polite, he still has some master's demeanor.
"My father often said that the gentleman is benevolent, righteous and virtuous, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name."
The potter said politely.
"Lord Assassin Shi is polite, Liu Bei deserves the name of benevolence, righteousness and virtue."
Although he knew that the potter was saying polite words, Liu Bei still liked it in his heart.
"The gentleman is humble, and along the way, all the potters have heard are praises for the envoy, which shows the benevolence of the envoy."
Did the potters hear praise for Liu Bei all the way, naturally not, the potters were all the gentry along the way, and these people were extremely disdainful of Liu Bei.
"I don't know why Tao Gongzi came to Qingzhou?"
Kou Zhun spoke at the right time and ended the topic.
"My father mistakenly believed in the villain, resulting in a big mistake, Yanzhou Cao Cao wanted to make 100,000 troops break my Xuzhou, destroy my Xuzhou army and civilians, and the pottery merchant came to ask the envoy for help on his father's order."
The pottery merchant said sincerely, although Liu Bei was skeptical about whether he could rescue Xuzhou, the pottery merchant still hoped that Liu Bei would be able to send troops.
"Tao Thorn Shi is benevolent and virtuous, Liu Bei admires it to the extreme, Liu Bei is willing to help Xuzhou, and Cao Cao has an old relationship with a certain one, a letter from a certain first, if you can not use the soldiers, it is better."
Liu Bei said solemnly.
"Thank you, Lady Envoy!"
The pottery merchant did not have hope that Liu Bei would be able to persuade Cao Cao, but he still had some expectations for Liu Bei to send troops.
"That's as it should be!"
