"Order someone to write to Lu Bu, threatening that I am dead, my subordinates will not be able to form an army, if Lu Bu comes to chase and kill, I can ambush in Maling Mountain and beat Lu Bu!"

Jia Rudao said: "It's really a clever plan, but people can say it."

So let the soldiers wear linen and filial piety, and lied that they were dead, and someone had already come to Weiyang to report that Lu Bu had already reported that Cao Cao was burned by the fire and was on the verge of death, and his subordinates were defeated. Lu Bu was very happy, and immediately asked people to gather their soldiers and horses and go to kill Cao Cao's soldiers and horses.

In the middle of the Rushing Ma Jun Mountain, there were shouts of killing all around, and Lu Bufang knew that this was a strategy, but it was too late.

Although Lü Bu tried his best to escape, most of the soldiers and horses he took with him also died, and the defeated soldiers walked back to Weiyang and closed their doors.

In this year, the locusts rose up in a big way, causing a catastrophe, eating rice, and the locusts were inching every inch, and the people suffered.

Therefore, unscrupulous manufacturers have raised the price of rice, and a bucket of rice is as high as 50 gold, and those who can't afford to buy rice can only live on grass root bark!

The same situation occurred in Cao Cao's military camp, because the grain and grass were exhausted, and he led his soldiers and horses back to Juancheng to rest temporarily.

Lü Bu also encountered the same situation, and could only strike with Cao Cao.

So far, I have obtained the longed-for and short peaceful days!

It is said that Tao Qian was already over seventy years old at this time, and seeing that he was about to die soon, the destiny of heaven had arrived, so he hurriedly asked Mi Zhu to discuss with Chen Deng.

"The reason why Cao Cao retreated was because Lu Bu hit him in the back and hurt him, and now that the city of Yanzhou is flat, Cao Cao will definitely attack Xuzhou again in the coming year."

"I'm already old, frail and sickly, not enough to be a pastor in Xuzhou, let the official out and give it to Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande doesn't agree, what should I do?"

Mi Zhu said: "The prince of the mansion is seventy and three, at this time and that time, Liu Xuande did not agree at the time, and now he must be regretting it, the prince of the mansion will give up his seat again at this time, Liu Xuande will definitely agree!"

Chen Deng said: "Mi Zhu's words also have some truth, if you really give up your seat, it's better to give it a try."

Tao Qian was overjoyed, wrote a letter, and delivered it to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei received a letter, which only said that there was something important to discuss, and only Zhao Yun understood in his heart that most of this trip was abdication to make way for Xian.

Liu Bei led Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to leave Xiaopei and led dozens of personal guards to Xuzhou City, where Tao Qian personally went out to greet them and brought them into the mansion.

"Please ask Xuande Gong to come over today, not for anything else, just for the future of Xuzhou, I am old, frail and sickly, not enough to command the normal arrangement of troops, although Cao Cao's danger does not exist, everyone knows that it is the reason why Lu Bu killed his back door, if Cao Cao sweeps Lu Bu, he will definitely reorganize his troops to capture Xuzhou again."

He paused slightly and said: "Everyone in the world knows that the descendants of Jun Han have virtue, and Jun is the best candidate for Xuzhou Mu. I want to entrust the whole city, and I hope you don't refuse. ”

Liu Bei was slightly dull, shook his head, and said: "Fujun's surname is Tao, Liu Bei's surname is Liu, I dare not agree, I am afraid that the world will not accept Liu Bei."

"Fujun has two sons, why don't you pass on one of them? It was not Liu Bei who shirked, but Liu Bei didn't dare to respond. ”

Tao Qian said: "Why do you focus on surnames?"

"My eldest son is a businessman, and he only has money and copper in his eyes, if Xuzhou is entrusted to him, Xuzhou will die in the future, and the people of the world still don't hate me to the bone?"

"The second son is cowardly and incompetent, and he is still an embarrassed person!"

Liu Bei said: "How can Liu Bei be so entrusted by the king?"

Tao Qian said: "If you make this Xuzhou pastor, it is a great thing for the world, I only hope that the king can treat my two sons well, not to ask them to be promoted and rich, but to spare their lives!"

Liu Xuande said: "The true feelings of the prince of the mansion are touching the heavens and the earth, but Liu Bei is shallow in learning, and it is not enough to take on this great task, the monarch of the mansion chooses someone else, and Liu Bei will not dare to have two hearts!"

Mi Zhu was beside him, and he couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "The prince of the palace is weak and sickly, I am afraid that he will die soon, and the two sons are not motivated, so they cannot be entrusted to the whole city."

"The prince of the mansion has taken a fancy to the talent of Xuande Gong, so it is better to agree, don't shirk!"

Chen Deng said: "Liu envoy Jun, the government Jun loves the talent of the envoy, so the people of Xuzhou trust each other, if you have the ability, why bother to fake your hands to others?" Liu Yuanjun, don't speak too hurtfully. ”

Liu Bei was speechless, "This ......"

Zhang Fei was anxious and said: "Why should my brother twist and pinch him, like a woman, a manly husband is vigorous, since the prince of the mansion has given up his seat wholeheartedly, why doesn't my brother agree, why do you refuse to leave?" We didn't rob it. ”

Guan Yu stroked his beard, Danfeng's eyes were cold, and he said, "Shut up!" Do not trap your brother in unrighteousness! ”

Tao Qian said: "I can recommend a person, this person is talented, can assist you, this person's surname is Sun, the name is Qian, the word Gongyou, this person can be engaged."

He turned his head to Mi Zhu and said: "Make Jun a masterpiece today, you must not neglect your duties, and you should do your best to assist!"

Liu Bei liked it violently in his heart, but his face was still very reluctant to look.

"Liu Bei, how can he be virtuous, I am afraid that he will have the trust of the king!"

Tao Qian coughed violently a few times and said, "I have passed away soon, Liu Xuande, do you want to be angry with me?"

Mi Zhu held the handsome seal and handed it to Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande still did not obey, at this time, everyone knelt down and said: "Please make you accept Xuzhou Mu, otherwise I can't afford to kneel for a long time."

Seeing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei persuaded Liu Bei, and Liu Bei said: "In this case, Liu Bei is temporarily in charge of Xuzhou Mu."

Liu Bei, in accordance with Tao Qian's guidance, made Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, and Chen Deng as strategists, leading the soldiers into the city on the one hand, and appeasing the people on the other!

Within half a month, Tao Qian really died, and Liu Bei held a funeral for Tao Qian and was buried on the bank of the Yellow River.

Liu Bei played Tao Qian's suicide note in the imperial court.

Cao Cao was in Juancheng, knowing the news that Tao Qian was dead, although he was happy in his heart, he was very annoyed, hated Liu Bei's villain, and effortlessly, with one shot and one bullet, easily obtained control of Xuzhou City.

"Damn Liu Bei, you didn't have much effort to capture the city, which annoyed me very much!"

According to Cao Cao's personality, he will not give up!

"Hate Tao Qian's old thing, dead? Before I could do anything, you'd die! Liu Bei, what the hell, it's effortless to build a city, I'm so angry! ”

Immediately, he was going to order, plus the recovered Qingzhou soldiers, to send 500,000 troops to crusade against Liu Bei, pick up Tao Qian's full door, and raze the nine clans.

Jia Rudao stood up and stopped Cao Cao's actions.

Jia Rudao said: "Now that Liu Bei has obtained Xuzhou Mu, the people are stable, and the initiative has been obtained.

"If you want to start an army, find a reason first!"

Cao Cao said: "Revenge, isn't it a reason?"
