The big war is resting.

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei collected their troops, they went straight to ask Liu Bei why he had withdrawn from the army. Zhang Fei said angrily, "Such a good opportunity to destroy Cao, why did the eldest brother still order the troops to be collected?" Big brother, you don't know, the second brother's soldiers and horses are about to be killed in front of Cao Thief's eyes! If Cao Cao is beheaded, then the first contribution to relieving the siege of Xuzhou must be the eldest brother! ”

Facing Zhang Fei's questioning, Liu Bei first looked at Guan Yu, who was silent, but saw Guan Yu squinting at each other, even if he didn't speak, he was obviously a little puzzled. Liu Bei sighed secretly, and said, "Second brother, third brother, I know that you are brave, but my army is small, how can we defeat the tens of thousands of Cao thieves?" Both Tian and General Cao have defeated Cao's army, and if I don't give the order to collect the army, Cao's army will immediately surround us. ”

"Damn it!"

Zhang Fei was a little angry, "Tian Yuanjun and General Cao also have a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, how can they let Cao Jun defeat them so quickly!" Can't they see it, if they hold on for a while, the second brother will definitely be able to cut off the head of the Cao thief. ”

"Don't talk about yourself!"

Liu Bei's face changed, "How can most of the elite of the Cao army faced by Tian Yuanjun and General Cao be compared to us?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei snorted coldly, but he didn't say anything.

On the other hand, Guan Yu didn't say a word from beginning to end, but his face was faintly arrogant, obviously like Zhang Fei, he looked down on Tian Kai and Cao Bao. However, Guan Yu also understands that now they are under the fence, and they should still know what to say and what not to say.

No matter how bad Tian Kai is, he is also the Qingzhou Thorn History played by General Baima, Liu Bei's boss! As for Cao Bao, who is also a general in Xuzhou, he is almost a representative of Xuzhou's military power. It is nothing more than Liu Bei being so careful, the identities and status of these two people are destined to be easily offended by Liu Bei.

"Second brother, third brother."

Liu Bei said, "After we enter Xuzhou for a while, don't talk nonsense, and don't be arrogant!" ”

"I see."

Zhang Fei replied.

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei, even though there was still some arrogance on his red face, he still arched his hand towards Liu Bei, which could be regarded as a reply.

The arrival of Tian Kai and Liu Bei made Tao Qian, who was sick on the couch, barely support himself and entertained the guests at the palace.

Although the battle was lost, the arrival of reinforcements still greatly boosted morale. And this battle was not so badly defeated, when Tian Kai and Cao Bao saw that the battle was irreversible, they immediately withdrew their troops. As for Liu Bei, it was the only bright spot on the battlefield, not only defeated the general of the Cao army, but also almost attacked and killed the middle army of the Cao army. In this way, it was much better than the battle of Pengcheng.

"In times of crisis, we can see people's hearts!"

With the support of the left and right, Tao Qian, who was already a candle in the wind, tightly held the hands of Tian Kai, the assassin of Qingzhou, "Tian Yuanjun can save me from the difficulties of Xuzhou, and the old man has thanked the envoy for the great grace of the millions of Li people in Xuzhou!" ”

"Tao Gong, please get up!"

Seeing that Tao Qian wanted to kneel, Tian Kai hurriedly helped Tao Qian up, he couldn't afford Tao Qian's gift as an elder.

"Old and old and faint, but it caused this disaster for Xuzhou! Millions of people have suffered so much, and this is the sin of one old man! Debo has reached this point, and An can continue to be the pastor of Xuzhou? The second son is young, and he is not enough to fight against Cao thief! ”

Tao Qian's voice was very hoarse, he glanced sideways at the waiter on the side, waved his hand to signal him to step forward, and then said Tian Kaidao, "Tian Zhijun, this is the seal of Xuzhou Mu, and I also ask Tian Yuanjun to lead Xuzhou Mu on my behalf to fight against Cao thief!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Tian Kai was shocked, looking at the seal that was close at hand, he wanted to stretch out his hand, but when he was only halfway there, his eyes saw the people around Tao Qian.

Tao Qian's confidant Cao Hong squinted at each other, Xuzhou Don't Drive Moose Zhu was expressionless, Chen Deng narrowed his eyes and was silent, and Cao Bao stared at him, as if hostile. On the contrary, it was Tao Qian's two sons, the pottery merchant Tao Ying and the two looked at a loss. I don't know if it's timidity or whatever, there is a lot of unwillingness in that look, but I don't dare to question my father's words.

Tian Kai turned his gaze to Liu Bei and the three again, but saw that Liu Bei beside him was still smiling, while Guan Yu Danfeng beside Liu Bei squinted, faintly disdainful. Zhang Fei was stunned, obviously dissatisfied with Tao Qian's treatment of Tian Kai so much, but forgetting the merits of his eldest brother Liu Bei.

"Tao Gong!"

Pushing the seal back, Tian Kaiqiang resisted the temptation, and looked at Tao Qian, who didn't know whether it was sincere or tentative, "I am already the Qingzhou Thorn History played by General Baima, how can I continue to serve as the Xuzhou Mujun?" Tao Gong's prestige, all over the world, the Cao thief raised troops in Xuzhou for no reason, wantonly slaughtered innocents, this is the anger of people and gods. I was ordered by General Baima to come to the rescue of Xuzhou, how can I do anything else? ”

"Tian Envoy Jun really has the style of a countryman!"

Tao Qian said tremblingly, and did not continue to force, but put his eyes on Liu Bei on the side, "Could this be Liu Xuande who saved Beihai?" ”

"Boy Liu Xuande, meet Tao Gong!"

Liu Bei restrained his smile and bowed to Tao Qian very respectfully.

"Sure enough, it's magnificent."

Tao Qian sighed, "The world has you Liu Xuande, it is really a blessing in the world and a blessing in Xuzhou!" ”

"Tao Gong praises!"

Liu Bei said modestly.

"Since Tian Yuanjun is the assassin of Qingzhou, and he refuses to accept the seal of my Xuzhou pastor, it is better for you to take charge of Xuzhou for me!"

Tao Qian put the seal in front of Liu Bei's eyes again.

But Liu Bei immediately pushed him back, and his face remained unchanged at all, "Xuzhou can't do without you, Tao Gong!" How can Liu Bei be able to be a state pastor? I know that now that Cao's army is in the city, Xuzhou is in danger, but Tao Gong must not worry, with me and Tian Envoy Jun, I will not let Cao's army conquer the city! ”

Seeing Liu Bei push the seal back, Tao Qian's face was slightly gloomy, and he sighed, "Cao Jun is menacing, and now Tancheng has also become a lonely city, I'm afraid it won't last long!" is old and old, and he is really unable to face this crisis in Xuzhou! Don't hide it from you, I intend to retreat to my hometown Danyang, just to spend my old age in peace. ”

"Why does Tao Gong have to be like this!"

Tian Kai immediately objected, the reason why he died to help Xuzhou was that he didn't want Cao Cao to occupy Xuzhou. If Cao Cao occupies Xuzhou, then he doesn't have to continue to do it. Whether it is for their own interests or for Tao Qian's interests, this Xuzhou must not be lost, and this Tancheng must not be abandoned, "Even though Cao's army is powerful, but we defend the city, Cao Cao is helpless." ”

"If Tao Gong wants to retreat to Danyang, where will he put Xuzhou Million Li?"

Liu Bei also persuaded, "Please also ask Tao Gong to think twice!" ”

"But—"

Tao Qian looked at his two sons, who were still a little dazed, and the words that he wanted to say stopped, but he just sighed, "That's it!" Tian Yuanjun and Xuande came to relieve the siege of Xuzhou regardless of their safety, and the old man set up a feast here today to reward you! This unpleasant thing will not be mentioned for the time being, but please come to the banquet first! ”

"No!"

All of them responded.
