Chapter 316

Although Tao Qian said that he was mediocre, after all, he was still in Xuzhou for many years, and he would always leave some achievements. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info And Tao Qian's reputation in Xuzhou is still good, although there is a little jealousy, nepotism, and always used to looking at the background, ignoring those who have a bad background, but they don't oppress the people.

For the people, what if Tao Qian is crony? It doesn't matter to yourself, as long as the officials of this state pastor are better, don't overly oppress the people, you will be a good official.

This is also why when Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou, Xuzhou was also fought to the death.

Among the many achievements left by Tao Qian in Xuzhou, the road is included.

Tao Qian has served in Xuzhou for many years, and after the Jujube Alliance, there is no reason to be transferred out of Xuzhou, and he has done a lot of things in Xuzhou, especially the roads are not less repaired, and I dare not say that it is accessible in all directions, which is also good.

Now on the road to Xiapi, there is a group of people and horses galloping.

Especially the three people who were the leader, it was Liu Bei and his party who had just left Xiaopei not long ago.

Although the group was a little tired along the way, they were still in good spirits, especially Liu Bei, who didn't know what they were thinking while waving the horsewhip.

But to be honest, it's really not easy to rush in this era, all the people in the group are dusty all the way, even the most energetic Zhang Fei is tired, not to mention Guan Yu with a long beard, Guan Yu is a little distressed by the dirty beard. Fortunately, both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and others knew that the stakes were high, so they didn't complain about anything, not to mention...

"Big brother, Tao Fujun died of illness, Xuzhou has no owner, Chen Yuanlong and Mi Zizhong are all waiting for you to preside over the overall situation, this time the eldest brother has no reason to refuse, right?" Although he was tired all the way, his face was still dirty, and his originally dark face was even a little gray by dust, but Zhang Fei's mood was good, thinking about Liu Bei's entry into Xuzhou, and even laughed happily.

"Don't want to talk nonsense..."Hearing this, Liu Bei frowned, and couldn't help but reprimand. I already have Xiaopei, how can I still have such extravagant hopes, not to mention that Tao Gongzu treats us well, and now he has two sons, where do we need to come forward? ”

"Hmph..."Although he was reprimanded by Liu Bei, Zhang Fei was not very afraid, but just snorted lightly. I have also seen Tao Gongzu's two sons, but they are just ordinary people, how can they do big things, if Xuzhou falls into the hands of the two of them, I am afraid that it will not take long to be corrupted, if I want to say that if the eldest brother does not take over at this time, it will be to live up to Tao Gongzu's heart..."

This time, Zhang Fei's words were also approved by Guan Yu.

Tao Qian's two sons are indeed not very successful, Tao Qian is also unlucky, he finally repelled Cao Cao, and originally hoped that he could live a few more years and cultivate his two sons well, so that they can be qualified to inherit their status.

Pity...

Less than a year after Cao Cao retired from the army, he died of illness...

And to tell the truth, Tao Qian himself is just a prince with no ability, even if he tries his best to cultivate his two sons, what outstanding talents can he cultivate? Not to mention that his two sons were only middle-aged.

If you don't see it, it's Zhuge Kongming, and in the end, Liu Adou is helpless?

Compared with Zhuge Kongming's ability, Tao Qian's ability is really different...

Liu Bei didn't respond to Zhang Fei or Guan Yu, but obviously, the words of the two entered his heart, but at this time, he didn't have to say anything, not to mention...

Xiapi is already in front of you...

As the seat of Xuzhou, Xiapi is by no means comparable to an ordinary city, let alone Xiaopei. If you have to compare, I'm afraid that there are a few big cities today, such as Yecheng, Chang'an, Luoyang, or Xiangyang, Linzi and other cities―――――― don't look at Linzi in the Three Kingdoms period is not famous, and even in the Three Kingdoms or other games in the past dynasties, it is also the former capital of Qi.

The Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and the Qi State have never run.

The reason why Linzi had no sense of existence during the Three Kingdoms period was simply because Qingzhou did not have a strong enough monarch at that time. A Kong Rong is just a generation like Wang Lang and Liu Xuan, who has no ability, and is not a monarch who can open up territory, and the original Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe? The sense of existence is worse than that of Kong Rong, and he is still a cowardly and incompetent person, except for listening to Wu Zhu, he doesn't seem to have any opinions.

With such a monarch here, what sense of existence can Linzi have?

Almost at this time, Liu Bei and his entourage had already come to the moat, and just when they arrived at the location of the city gate, they saw a few people standing by the city gate.

"Xuande Gong!"

Seeing that Liu Bei had arrived, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu and others hurriedly stepped forward to greet each other.

At this time, Liu Bei was not in the mood to greet them, turned over and dismounted, and asked them. "Yuanlong, Zizhong, how is the situation in Xiapi now? Is it really already over there? ”

"Yes..."Speaking of this question, Chen Yuanlong's expression was a little sad, but it was just like the literal meaning, just a little.

It is not surprising that the relationship between him and Tao Qian is more similar to that of an employer, rather than a simple monarch, or at this time, there are no princes who can be called monarchs and ministers with the civil and military under their command. Originally, Chen Deng's relationship with Tao Qian was slightly closer, but later because he was too close to Liu Bei, he was suspicious of Tao Qian. is also a lot more estranged, and the feelings are naturally a lot indifferent.

"Some time ago, Tao Fujun's health was not bad, in addition to dealing with government affairs every day, he taught the two sons in the mansion, but a few days ago, Fujun suddenly became seriously ill, and he couldn't afford to be sick, and the doctors in the city had nothing to do, and finally..."

"Hey..."Hearing Chen Deng say this, Liu Bei also sighed, but he didn't say anything, just patted the shoulders of the two. Let's go in first..."

With Chen Deng and Mi Zhu leading the way, Liu Bei was naturally unimpeded along the way, not to mention that his reputation in Xuzhou was very good, and he was very virtuous, and many people felt that he would be the next monarch of Xuzhou, and they were even more unwilling to offend.

And Liu Bei's luck is also good, although Xuzhou is a famous state in the world, but no one in Xuzhou will compete with Liu Bei for inheritance. Tao Qian's two sons? There may be some threats, but unfortunately it is not a climate, and the family in Xuzhou has almost nothing to support them.

And what about those families in Xuzhou? The Mi family and the Chen family have unreservedly expressed their support for Liu Bei, as for the remaining one of the three major families, the Cao family? also put on an indifferent attitude, as long as they don't provoke them, they have no opinion.

Coming to the location of the mourning hall, Liu Bei stepped forward to salute Tao Qian's spiritual position, and then walked in front of Tao Qian's two sons. Just like everyone else in the mansion, Tao Qian's two sons were also dressed in white filial piety clothes at this moment, kneeling beside them, with a sad look on their faces.

No matter what else, they are Tao Qian's biological sons after all, and now that their father has died of illness, how can they not say anything?

"The two virtuous nephews should not be too sad, but also cheer up, so that Tao Fujun's spirit in the sky can be comforted..."

Hearing this, Tao Qian's two sons nodded, but the sadness on their faces did not decrease a little.

Seeing it in his eyes, Liu Bei sighed, but still continued. "No matter what, the position of Xuzhou depends on the two virtuous nephews..."

Hearing this, one of Tao Qian's two sons suddenly raised his head. My brother is a shallow learner, although my father taught diligently when he was alive, but unfortunately my two qualifications are mediocre, and I didn't learn anything, so my father is very disappointed, and now my father has passed away, I know very well how my ability is, and I hope that you can take over the responsibility, so that Xuzhou can rest assured, and my father will be at ease in the spirit of heaven..."

The other of the two brothers looked up and agreed.

Hearing the Tao brothers say this, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu suddenly showed expressions of surprise.

In fact, they followed Liu Bei to Xiapi this time, and they also saved some of the intention of helping Liu Bei get to Xuzhou. After all, there are two people in Xiapi who are Chen Deng and Mi Zhu to help, and there are some other families who are inclined to it, and the chance of success is still relatively large.

However, it is only relatively big, after all, not everyone in Xiapi City supports Liu Bei, not to mention that Tao Qian is not without a queen, he still has two sons. These two people are obviously more qualified than Liu Bei to inherit the position of state pastor, and although Tao Qian is a little incompetent, how can he not even have a henchman after so many years in Xuzhou.

Up and down, there are still some people who are loyal to Tao Qian, even if Tao Qian's two sons are not very successful, they are still very competitive with their help.

Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are a little proud, they also know that many things are not as simple as they think, that is, the two of them really have the ability to fight against ten thousand people, and it is impossible to help Liu Bei take Xiapi by force, so many things still depend on Chen Yuanlong and Mi Zhu's activities in the end. Who would have thought that just when they thought that they would need to wait for a long time in Xiapi to have some chance, Tao Qian's two sons actually took the initiative to bring up this matter.

Unlike the surprises of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei was pale in his face.

"This, how is this good, the two virtuous nephews are the personal of Tao Fujun, and it is natural to inherit the position of state pastor, how can he dare to do this?"

"Xuande Gong don't want to shirk...", but this time it was not Shi Taoqian's two sons who spoke, but Mi Zhu and Chen Deng next to him.

It's not surprising, don't look at Tao Qian's two sons who spoke by themselves this time, but the land of Yizhou was let out, which was an unpleasant thing for anyone. Comparing his heart to his heart, his father originally had a large amount of family business waiting to be inherited by himself, and because his own ability was not enough, he had to give it to others, no matter from which point of view, it was incomprehensible.

Of course, you can also say that since Tao Qian's two sons have spoken, maybe they can understand the reason? In the troubled times, it is necessary to have enough ability to protect the safety of one party, but the two of them do not have this ability, they are really reluctant to do it, and the final outcome may not be good-looking.

But actually...

To be reasonable, if the two of them can really see through, how can they not be favored?

"Don't be suspicious of Xuande Gong, this is what Tao Fujun specially instructed before he died, I heard it with my own ears next to me, and I ask Xuande Gong not to shirk..."

"Big brother, you just agreed!" At this time, Zhang Fei really couldn't wait to open his mouth and agree, after all, this is a great thing, he got Xuzhou for nothing, no matter how you look at it, there is no better thing than this.

"Yes, eldest brother, since this is Tao Fujun's last words before he died, why should eldest brother refuse..."

To be honest, hearing this, how could Liu Bei not even be a little moved, but...

In the face of everyone's persuasion, Liu Bei wavered for a while, but he still gritted his teeth and chose to refuse, even ignoring the disappointment in the eyes of his two brothers.

Seeing this, some people breathed a sigh of relief, but some people continued to dissuade them.

The snake can't be headless, and Xuzhou is the same, there was originally a Tao Qian, although his ability was a little worse, he was also the state pastor of Xuzhou, and he could lead everyone to do something, but now that Tao Qian is dead, they lack a leader.

To be reasonable, in fact, Chen Deng or Mi Zhu and others have this ability or qualification, the problem is that they just can't sit on it...

The so-called family is originally a network of relationships that are entangled in layers, and these networks will give them considerable help in normal times, which is why many families have been working hard to expand their relationships, but more relationships means that you not only have more friends, but also have more opponents, and they are the same.

If you really rely on your strength, it would be fine, but this is not the case, so you can imagine how other families will drag their backs...

In the end, these families in Xuzhou can't do it at all, even if you want to go up, there will definitely be people who oppose it, it's better to find a foreigner, nothing involved, the most important thing is that you are capable and obedient, and the best candidate for this person is Liu Bei.

In order to do this, not only based on Tao Qian's last words, but also Chen Deng, Mi Zhu and others persuaded Tao Qian's two sons to give up their inheritance rights for a while...

That's the whole of Xuzhou, even if there is Tao Qian's last words, it is not easy for his two sons to give up their inheritance...

It's a pity that in the face of everyone's persuasion, Liu Bei kept refusing. Just when everyone had nothing else to do, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"The Qingzhou envoy has arrived!"
