Liu Bei and his entourage finally arrived in Xuzhou City, this time their purpose was very clear, they must exchange for enough grain and grass for the development of Qingzhou, otherwise no one can open the kind of dead situation in Qingzhou.

As long as this time you can get grain and grass in Xuzhou, you can stabilize the early investment in Qingzhou, and when Liu Bei and they subdue the yellow scarves and start Tuntian to resume production again, Liu Bei's foundation will be considered up, and Cao Cao at this time has just started in Yanzhou, but Liu Bei and Cao Cao can't compare with the place where Cao Cao's family is well-off, his father is an official in the court, Cao Cao is definitely not short of funds, and the Cao family is also not a small family, even if those first-class families don't look down on them as the descendants of eunuchs, But there are always some good families, and the grain and grass that started is not a problem for Cao Cao, but Liu Bei is different, there is no upfront investment, and there is no good family, at this time, there is no money to buy grain and grass, not to mention that Liu Bei has no money.

"Ziang, I have arrived in Xuzhou City, will this trip go well", Liu Bei was a little worried about whether the grain and grass could be obtained, along the way, the conversation with Xi Zhicai made him understand how difficult it was to get this opportunity, if he missed the rapid development opportunity of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, even if Liu Yi has great talent, it is difficult for Liu Bei to start together with other princes, Liu Bei's Yellow Turban in Qingzhou is not only Liu Bei is in sight, Cao Cao's Yanzhou is very close to this, and he must also have some thoughts about Qingzhou.

"Xuande Gong rest assured, we are not empty gloves white wolves, it may be a little difficult to borrow grain and grass with your friendship, but there is no problem in buying grain and grass", Liu Yi said with a smile, even if he is not sure in his heart, but as a strategist, at least calm must be there, if you are not sure of what you are making and you are very flustered, then the impact will be great.

"Xuande Gong don't have to worry, the book is exchanged for grain and grass, it is estimated that it will only happen at this time, Tao Qian will not let go of this opportunity, the book is a representative of knowledge, he Tao Qian does not need it, the family in Xuzhou has been coveting it, the problem of grain and grass is not big", Xi Zhicai added, it may be difficult to buy grain and grass with money, if the book is not exchanged for grain and grass, it is estimated that someone deliberately blocked Liu Bei's development.

Liu Bei was much more relaxed when he heard the two strategists in his body say this, and arranged for Guan Yu to be stationed outside the city and led the rest of the people into Xuzhou City.

Liu Yi estimated that he would be able to see Tao Qian after entering the city, and the army was passing by, someone must have informed Tao Qian early, plus Liu Bei's army was stationed outside the city, there was obviously no hostility, and according to etiquette, he would definitely see it.

"Xuande, Luoyang farewell, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's good lately", Tao Qian laughed and walked in front of Liu Bei, he has always been very optimistic about appreciating Liu Bei, in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, they talked very closely, and the way they dealt with the jade seal made Tao Qian even more impressed.

"I haven't seen you for many days, Tao Gong's demeanor is still the same, I am ready to lead the army to hurry, pass Xuzhou, come to visit Tao Gong, and thank Tao Gong for his kindness", Liu Bei is indeed very grateful to Tao Qian, Liu Bei approached Tao Qian and Kong Rong purposefully, but they admired Liu Bei very much, and also went to the court to ask for Liu Bei's officials.

Liu Yi pursed his lips on the side and didn't speak, Tao Qian and Kong Rong's request for the above table did play a little role, but it was more about how much Liu Bei contributed in the first battle of the Tiger Prison Pass, and how much he showed his face, Dong Zhuo's judgment on the strength of the army of the Qinwang from all walks of life, after Dong Zhuo was defeated, he relied on the Son of Heaven in his hand to divide the Kwantung princes, as long as the Xuande Gong entered Dong Zhuo's eyes, it would naturally be used as the object of differentiation, so that there would naturally be official positions, Tao Qian and others did play some roles, but Liu Yi didn't feel much, But now after all, there is a request for others, so let Liu Bei brag about him, and when Tao Qian is blown up, it will be guaranteed to borrow grain again.

"Xuande doesn't have to be so polite, follow me into the city, you have come from afar to work hard, the old man has prepared a banquet to entertain you", Tao Qian said with a smile, he still enjoyed what Liu Bei said, others came from afar, and as the host, they should be entertained.

It is said that the banquet is actually a family banquet, Liu Bei has not yet reached that height, so Tao Qian welcomes him, so the banquet is set up in Tao Qian's house, and Liu Bei also feels that there is nothing wrong.

"Xuande, this trip to Qingzhou to take office, has the holy decree come down", Tao Qian said casually, he had already sent someone to prepare for food.

"It hasn't been issued yet, but it is estimated that it should be in Qingzhou, and the army march must not have issued the holy decree quickly, and it is estimated that the holy decree will be received after arriving in Qingzhou", Liu Bei also drank tea and chatted with Tao Qian without a word.

The banquet was soon served, it can be seen that there are a lot of cooks in Tao Qian's family, this old guy is very good at enjoying, but one person holds the right to the entire state of Xuzhou, and it is natural to enjoy good things, it is still very rich when the table is still very rich, Liu Bei and Tao Qian also began to use the banquet after talking for a while, Liu Yi and others are quite satisfied with this banquet, all the way to eat are dough, occasionally not in a hurry to catch a pheasant to eat, in exchange for anyone to feel satisfied, Liu Yi suspects that the ancient life is very short must be related to the bad food.

After eating, the servants changed into pastries and tea, and Liu Bei and Tao Qian continued their conversation, but at this time they basically began to talk about business, unlike casual talk before the banquet.

"Tao Gong, you also know the situation in Qingzhou, it is very difficult to deal with this mess in Qingzhou from scratch", Liu Bei began to pour bitter water, saying how miserable he was, and Tao Qian, who listened to it, was also stunned.

"Xuande, if there is any difficulty, if there is a place that can help, the old man will do his best", Tao Qian also knows the situation in Qingzhou, Liu Bei must need some help, now the situation in Xuzhou is very stable, it doesn't hurt to give Liu Bei some help, Qingxu is connected, and it is easy to talk about any difficulties in the future.

"Tao Gong is righteous, the biggest problem in Qingzhou is that the grain and grass food is not enough, and I want to exchange some books and Tao Gong for some grain and grass this time", Liu Bei was overjoyed and said, I didn't expect Tao Qian to be so refreshing.

"Books for grain and grass, Xuande is not joking", Tao Qian was a little surprised, originally he planned to invest some grain and grass for Liu Bei, anyway, Xu is very stable now, he is not short of grain and grass, as long as he does not borrow soldiers, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to say that the book is in exchange for grain and grass, where did the book come from, it was completely unexpected by him, but this is fine, Liu Bei of the province opened his mouth too big to make him embarrassed.
