Chapter 195: Tao Qian who fell ill

。。。

"Tao Gong is seriously ill, he should go and see it, Zifang don't leave it alone", Liu Bei said with a smile, no matter what Tao Qian's true influence is, he has to go and see it.

In fact, Liu Bei also has a small abacus in his heart, otherwise he would have returned to Qingzhou a long time ago, why would he come to Pengcheng, Xuzhou.

"Xuande Gong, don't leave it here, wait for the opportunity to visit Qingzhou", Mi Fang said with a smile, it was not all polite words, his brother is in Qingzhou, he has almost gained a firm foothold, it is estimated that it will not take long to pick him up, and sooner or later we will meet, now I will leave a good impression on Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and it will be good to work under Liu Bei when the time comes.

"Welcome at any time," Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Zifang, let's go first, your brother is there in Qingzhou, you can come at any time", Liu Yi got up with a smile and said, and then left with Liu Bei.

Mi Fang got up and sent it off, sat back and drank, it was a coincidence to meet Liu Bei, I really didn't expect to meet in Xuzhou, Mi Fang really planned to go to Qingzhou, now Xuzhou really can't go down, the family has finished dividing the cake, since Mi Zhu left, Mi Fang's life is getting worse and worse, after all, their families at the beginning were looking at his brother's face.

In this way, Liu Yi followed Liu Bei, Zhao Yun followed behind, went to see Tao Qian, and did not encounter any obstacles, after revealing his identity, he went all the way unimpeded and went directly to Tao Qian's hospital bed.

"Tao Gong, what's wrong with you, don't get up, don't get up, lie down and lie down", Liu Bei hurriedly walked forward, and a few tears were squeezed out.

"Xuande, alas, it's a long story, sit down and sit down, this time Xuzhou is thanks to you", Tao Qian lay down again with Liu Bei's help, with a grateful face.

"Tao Gong, this is what Bei should do, when I went to Qingzhou, if it wasn't for Tao Gong's grain and grass support, Bei would not have today's status", Liu Bei held Tao Qian's hand with both hands and said with a grateful face.

"With a lot of effort, I didn't expect Xuande to be so affectionate and righteous, the old man is really grateful", Tao Qian said with emotion, how difficult it is to let others remember his kindness, Liu Bei can remember the great kindness, and he also knows how to repay, it is really not easy.

"Tao Gong's great kindness, Bei dare not forget, in order to prepare for Qingzhou, to prepare grain and grass to help, this time I heard that Cao Cao was going to be unfavorable to Xuzhou, Bei immediately rushed over, but unfortunately he still did not stop him, it was Bei's fault", Liu Bei said, regretfully touched his face, rescued tears, and looked very sad.

Liu Yi was stunned when he watched from the sidelines, this is a powerful faction, sure enough, the famous characters in history are not simple, tears are such a thing, they can come, and they haven't seen Liu Bei very sad before, so he went straight into the play, really, he can't accept it.

"Xuande, you have done a good job, then Cao Cao, I really misjudged him, he really took the innocent people to be angry, I am angry, I am angry, I ......am angry, I am angry, I am a little out of breath.

"Tao Gong, Tao Gong, don't be angry, don't be angry, Cao Cao has been driven away, everything is over", Liu Bei hurriedly went over and patted Tao Qian's backup, this is not the time for Tao Qian to die, I finally arrived, I have to get some money anyway.

Tao Qian finally recovered with the help of Liu Bei and sighed.

"That's it, the old man is really sorry for the people of Xuzhou, let them suffer", Tao Qian sighed and shed two lines of tears.

Liu Yi's eyes on the side are about to fall, these people, one by one, are all actors, Tao Qian is really so sad, Liu Yi doesn't think so, Mi Fang who stayed in Xuzhou feels that Tao Qian doesn't get much, plus the Yellow Turban period is obviously not made up, which makes Liu Yi seriously question Tao Qian's character.

I can still cry at this time, although Liu Yi doesn't know what Tao Qian is angry about, but it is estimated that he is not really thinking about the people, and now Liu Yi understands that in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, there are almost no people who really think about the people.

"Tao Gong has done a good job, they are all Cao Cao's evil thieves, it is really inhumane", Liu Bei held Tao Qian's hand and said comfortingly.

"Yes, the old man has tried his best, but the old man is incompetent, he can't keep the people of Xuzhou, and let the people of Xuzhou suffer this big crime, it's really old when he's old", Tao Qian sighed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Bei didn't answer on the side, how can you answer this, can you still say that Tao Gong is really old, so let's give way early, right? can only be silent, waiting for Tao Qian's next words.

Tao Qian stretched out his hand, and also held Liu Bei with two hands, and said: When there is chaos today, the country will not be a country, Xuande, you are a member of the Han family, and you are just contributing to the country. The old man is old and incompetent, and he is willing to give up Xuzhou. Don't shirk. I should write my own expression and play the court. ”

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, is it so direct, he will give it to Xuzhou directly, is this going to be or is it going to be, although Liu Bei has some small calculations in his heart, but this is too direct, and he is a little afraid to accept it.

Liu Yi also looked at Tao Qian with a sluggish face, this old man, on the road, Liu Bei's meaning of coming to Xuzhou, he immediately understood it, and immediately proposed to abdicate and make way for Xian, it is really sensible, but such a direct abdication, Liu Bei must not accept it, to give full play to the traditional Chinese virtues, humble and humble, otherwise people will laugh.

Liu Bei hurriedly excused himself and said: "Although Bei is a Miao descendant of the Han family, his merits are not commendable, and Ren Pingyuan is afraid that he is incompetent." The preparation was for the sake of righteousness to come to help. When you say this, do you suspect that I have the intention of annexation?"

Liu Yi was silent on the side, ready to watch them perform, Liu Bei said this very level, he didn't say that he didn't want Xuzhou at all, so he asked Tao Qian if he doubted him.

Tao Qian hurriedly said: "This is the old man's heartfelt words, and it is by no means hypocritical. ”

But Liu Bei just excused himself and refused to accept it. Of course I can't accept it, just let it go, say it's sincere, you continue to let it, Liu Yi is anxious to watch from the sidelines, Xuzhou, a piece of big fat meat, eat it, Liu Bei's power can be doubled in an instant, although I don't know if the strength can grow greatly, but at least I can have more territory, but Liu Yi is not in a hurry, anyway, there must be a drama behind.

Sure enough, Liu Bei said: "Preparing to rescue Xuzhou is for righteousness." Now if I possess Xuzhou for no reason, the world will think that I am an unrighteous person, Tao Gong will not say such things again in the future, do you want to trap me in injustice? ”

Tao Qian coughed a few more times, and Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to support him, his face full of worry.

After a while, Tao Qian lay on the sickbed and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, the old man knows that you are not that kind of person, you came to Xuzhou to rescue and repay your kindness, the old man is dying, and it is difficult to protect day and night; I hope that you will take the Han family city as the most important thing and accept the Xuzhou brand seal, and the old man's death will be limited!"

After saying that, Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei deeply, his face was full of expectations, Liu Yi wanted to step forward and accept it, such a sincere gift to a state land, it is really generous, don't want it, Xuande Gong, we almost have it, if you continue to play, Tao Qian accidentally burped, then it was really fun.

I saw Liu Bei say: "Let your two sons take over." ”

Tao Qian sighed and said, "None of his talents are competent. After the old man dies, I hope you will teach you more, and you must not let them hold the power of the state. ”

"Tao Gong, this ......", Liu Bei said excitedly, holding Tao Qian's hand and trembling.

Liu Yi smiled and nodded, it was finally over, looking at the flesh, two big men, you and I are hypocritical, although Liu Yi feels that this is also necessary, otherwise Liu Bei directly agreed to take over Xuzhou, it would be really embarrassing, it is estimated that Tao Qian also expected that Liu Bei would resign, so he would let Liu Bei so much.

In fact, Liu Yi felt that Liu Bei's main forces to take Xuzhou could not be arranged in Xuzhou, but could only be used as a granary, as well as the source of troops, and more importantly, it could reflect Liu Bei's benevolence, loyalty, and love for the people. It's just that Xuzhou, how to say it, is in the land of four wars, and the ambitious Cao Cao is eyeing each other and facing each other, needless to say. In addition, neighboring warlords such as Yuan Shu, LΓΌ Bu, and Yuan Shao were all in the strategically important Xuzhou and harbored annexation ambitions. These are all potentially dangerous. It can be seen that Xuzhou is not a delicious fruit, and if it is not done well, there is a danger of getting burned. Even if Xuzhou Mu Taoqian sincerely gave in, could his subordinates be convinced? These are very realistic, serious, and urgent problems, and Liu Bei cannot be ignored! In fact, it is true that not long after Liu Bei had Xuzhou in history, he was attacked by Cao Cao, LΓΌ Bu, and Yuan Shu, and Tao Qian's subordinate Cao Bao also rebelled against Liu Bei and helped LΓΌ Bu. As a result, Liu Bei had difficulty gaining a foothold in Xuzhou, and was eventually expelled from Xuzhou, where he was attached to Yuan Shao and Liu Biao. Of course, Xuzhou, which has an important strategic position, has great temptation for Liu Bei after all. Liu Yi knows that it is impossible for normal people to resist this temptation, this is a state place, and he is ready to deal with it, Cao Cao has already beaten away once, and now Yanzhou is in chaos, it is estimated that he has no energy to estimate Xuzhou, Yuan Shu that guy may still be bothering about the jade seal, and he is not afraid, Yuan Shaogong Sun Zan is in full swing, and in a short time, Xuzhou should be stable.

"Xuande, don't say anything, the people of Xuzhou need you, if you leave Xuzhou and Cao Cao makes a comeback, the people will be slaughtered, Xuande, listen to the old man, take this seal, and take care of the people of Xuzhou in the future, take care of the old man's descendants", Tao Qian said, panting more and more urgently, and suddenly, he hiccuped.

"Tao Gong, Tao Gong, Tao Gong, I haven't repaid your kindness yet", Liu Bei cried as he spoke, and then put the seal under his hand.

Liu Yi nodded, and also made a sad expression, Xuzhou is here, after Liu Bei's play, presumably the people of the world will have more trust in Liu Bei's character in the future, it is really a few in one fell swoop, no wonder Liu Bei can succeed, this is the operation.

In fact, in Liu Yi's current view, the story of Liu Bei's three concessions to Xuzhou in history may not be so simple, Liu Bei ignored everyone's persuasion and made Xuzhou three times, the purpose of which should be to lead Xuzhou out of the Yuan Shu camp and turn to an alliance with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, so I want to know the true thoughts of the upper echelons of Xuzhou. In real history, Liu Bei is a heroic figure with Hongyi's generosity, love and righteousness, and Qin and Han style. He once attached himself to Gongsun Zan as a guest general and served as the plain minister. During Liu Bei's tenure as the prime minister of the plains, he was difficult to win the palace outside, rich and wealthy inside, and approachable, and everyone followed him. Liu Bei probably knows that everyone wants this piece of fat in Xuzhou, but not everyone wants it, it seems contradictory, but it is worth figuring out. In fact, Liu Bei wanted to take Xuzhou in his heart, but he knew that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and even Gongsun Zhan and Liu Biao all wanted to carve up Xuzhou. So it's better to let Tao Qian, who is inactive, do it, anyway, there is no threat to himself. However, once Xuzhou is taken away by others, the situation is different, the above 5 families will send troops to attack, if it is not good, the family is busy, this point, Tao Qian Lao'er knows best, you think he doesn't want to give him his son, but to protect his son's life, what talent is not enough, but let Liu Bei take care of it, there are so many families, Liu Yi does not believe that with their assistance, Liu Bei can be stronger than Tao Qian's son, but now Liu Bei is indeed much stronger than in history, with soldiers and horses, with Qingzhou, Tao Qian may also be able to see Liu Bei's potential.

Liu Yi felt that Liu Bei also knew it in history, he really didn't want to be the lord of Xuzhou at first, and later saw that several major families in Xuzhou supported him, in fact, Liu Bei knew that these people were just using him as a shield, so he wanted to take refuge in the imperial court with this piece of fat, and then he rightfully entered the central group, so that Liu Xie could be a big official, a general, and even a prince.

So the first thing Liu Bei did when he accepted Xuzhou was to write a letter to Cao Cao, wanting to return to centralized power, Cao Cao was not a fool, he knew Liu Bei's wishful thinking, and he said that Liu Bei swallowed Xuzhou alone, although his father died in Xuzhou, but Tao Qian died, Zhang Kai also died, and you still have to take Xuzhou in the name of revenge, so Cao Cao secretly allowed Liu Bei to surrender, Mingli did not declare it to the princes, and asked Yuan Shu to fight Liu Bei. At that time, Cao Cao had what kind of power, coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven, very majestic, and then Lu Bu came, Liu Bei saw that this guy had developed limbs and a simple mind, why not let him be a substitute for the dead ghost, so he happily wanted to give Xuzhou to Lu Bu, but was persuaded by Chen Gong, of course, Chen Gong did not have such a distant gaze, but he suspected that Liu Bei did not really want to let it, from this point of view, Chen Gong compared to Liu Bei, Cao Cao is really 108,000 miles behind, the story is not over, the show began again, Liu Bei deliberately let Zhang Fei guard the city, The soldiers to Zhang Fei were all Danyang soldiers, the leader of the Danyang soldiers Cao Bao and Fei were at odds, and Liu Bei also let Cao Bao defend the city, and in the end Zhang Fei really did not disappoint Liu Bei, and gave the city to Lu Bu, Liu Bei cried and pulled Zhang Fei, and said that his wife is like clothes, and his brothers are like siblings. But what Liu Bei didn't expect was that when things came to this point, Cao Cao still didn't let him enter the Central Group and didn't take him in. What to do? The answer, of course, is to lie to Lu Bu again. So Lu Bu took Liu Bei into Xiaopei, and although life did not get better, at least it was not worse. Yuan Shu was the first to run to claim the title of emperor, breaking the balance of the five families, everyone, including Yuan Shu and his own brother, hurriedly drew a line with Yuan Shu, and our brother Lu Bu persuaded him to be in-laws with Yuan Shu. So Liu Bei looked for a grinding insertion, let Zhang Fei go to force Lu Buma, and finally fought, Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shu had become a public enemy, and he could take Xuzhou, so everyone knew about the later things, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Gao Shun, and Yuan Shu all became five-headed ghosts, and Cao Cao also included Yuan Shu's territory in his territory by the way.

In fact, to say that Tao Qian is also a talent, it is a pity that he stood on the wrong team and stood with Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan. In his early years, he had a grudge with Cao Cao. In order to reconcile with Cao Cao, Cao's father came to Yanzhou from Bozhou to reunite with Cao Cao, passed through Xuzhou, and assigned Zhang Min to escort him.

"Xuande Gong, Tao Gong died of illness, we should let the family in Xuzhou know, we can't stay here for too long", Liu Yi stepped forward and persuaded him, at this time, he couldn't let Liu Bei cry anymore, and quickly notified the Xuzhou family to bury Tao Qian is the right thing, the official seal is in hand, Xuzhou is already half in hand, and then I will do it with the family in Xuzhou, stabilize Xuzhou, and then go home, I feel beautiful when I think about it.

"Okay, let's go", Liu Bei got up and wiped away his tears.
