Tao Qian stood at the head of the city and looked at the generals of Liu Beijun and Cao Cao's army completely. When he saw that Zhang Fei not only defeated Cao Cao's general Xiahoudun, but also beheaded one person, Tao Qian was very happy at the moment. This proves that although Cao Jun is strong, he is not invincible!

Not only was Tao Qian happy, but the others who accompanied him were all relieved. Everyone was frightened by Cao Jun's massacre of the city, for fear that Cao Jun would capture Xuzhou City. Seeing that Liu Beijun's generals won today's battle and killed Cao Cao's generals, this is simply a big victory! The morale of the Xuzhou army in the city was also boosted.

Liu Beijun entered the city again and was greeted more warmly. Tao Qian set up a banquet in the governor's mansion and warmly invited Liu Bei to go with him. Liu Bei couldn't get away, and pedaled to the state pastor with Tao Qian.

When I came to the house, the banquet was already on the table. Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and Han Fei into the table. Tao Qian saw Dian Wei standing behind Liu Bei at a glance, and said, "Brother Xuande, why don't you let the general behind you sit together!" ”

Liu Bei turned his head and said to Dian Wei: "There is no danger here, you can also go eat something!" ”

"It's the lord." Dian Wei answered and sat down under Zhang Fei. Tao Qian saw him sit down and smile even more, he raised his wine glass and said to Liu Bei: "Today, the general under the command of the virtuous brother returned with a great victory, I am very happy!" This first glass of wine is my best respect for my brother and the two generals! ”

Liu Bei hurriedly raised his glass and said: "Brother doesn't have to be like this, it's really not worth mentioning that it's just a small victory today!" ”

"Eh, Brother Xian's words are wrong! Cao Jun's brave martial arts are well known to the world, and the generals under the command of the virtuous brother can defeat him, which shows that the virtuous brother will be better than him! And today's battle has greatly boosted the morale of the city, all of which are the credit of the virtuous brothers! Come on, come on, drink this cup to the brim! Tao Qian said to put down the first thing to do as respect. Liu Bei greeted Zhang Fei and Dian Wei as well as drank the wine in their glasses, and the banquet officially began after the first drink.

During the banquet, Tao Qian and Liu Bei frequently raised their glasses, and after a while, Tao Qian's face was dyed with a layer of red. At this time, he suddenly wanted Liu Bei to beckon, signaling him to come to his side, Liu Bei did not doubt him, got up and sat down next to Tao Qian.

At this time, Tao Qian suddenly reached out and grabbed Liu Bei's arm and said, "Brother Xuande, I have something to ask for for my brother now, and Brother Wanwang will agree!" ”

"Brother, what are you doing! If you have something to tell me, you can do it, but if the little brother can do it, he will not refuse! Liu Bei hurriedly spoke, and at the same time he struggled to get rid of Tao Qian's pull. But Tao Qian grabbed it extremely hard, and Liu Bei saw that he couldn't break free without hurting Tao Qian, so he grabbed it.

"You can definitely do this matter, you must agree to be a brother!" Tao Qian said sincerely.

"This ...... And the elder brother said, "Be prepared to listen to your commands!" Liu Bei said speechlessly. At this time, Han Fei, who was not far away, vaguely heard the conversation between the two, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The heart spoke: "Could it be that Tao Qian wants to ......?"

Before Han Fei could think about it, he heard Tao Qian speak: "Brother Xuande, my brother is old, and his body is not as good as day by day. If I continue like this, I am afraid that I will be entrusted by the saint, so I am thinking about giving up the position of Xuzhou pastor to the virtuous brother! I hope that the virtuous brother will not shirk! ”

"How can this be!" Liu Bei exclaimed. "Brother must not have this thought, if the brother insists again and again, the younger brother will lead the army to leave tomorrow!"

"Why did Brother Xuande Xian want to leave?" Tao Qian was stunned.

"Brother, the younger brother is all here to relieve the siege of the elder brother, if he is invited by the elder brother, wouldn't he be suspected of taking advantage of the danger of others! Let the world see me! Liu Bei explained with a wry smile. Besides, the younger brother has never occupied the heart of Xuzhou, so don't mention this matter again! ”

"Hey, that's fine! The virtuous brother has a few more drinks, and I have people prepare some wine and meat as a reward, so let people send them to the barracks, okay? ”

"It's all up to my brother!"

"Okay, come and have another drink with you and my brother!" Looking at Liu Bei and Tao Qian, who were raising their glasses again, a smile appeared on the corner of Han Fei's mouth, and he sighed in his heart that the wheel of history had indeed turned back.

Compared with the jubilation in the city, Cao Ying was much more deserted. Cao Cao sat in the big tent, and the Xiahou brothers and Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others were on the left and right. At this time, Cao Cao spoke: "In today's battle, because of the defeat of the fighting general, the morale of our army has been greatly damaged!" What should you do now? ”

"Lord, this time the troops are in a hurry, now that this Xuzhou City has Liu Bei to help, it may be difficult to capture it in a hurry, so it is better to retreat early......" Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao's face was not good, so he said in the end his voice was much quieter.

"Lord, tomorrow I ask for orders to attack the city! It is necessary to snow the shame of today! Xiahoudun said.

"I'm with my brother!" Xiahou Yuan also spoke.

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he was constantly thinking about the benefits and losses in his heart, and it was quiet and scary in the big tent for a while. Suddenly, Guo Jia's stomach gurgled, and because the tent was extremely quiet, everyone listened to it truly. invariably set their eyes on Guo Jia.

Cao Cao also reacted at this time, and everyone had been discussing that they hadn't eaten dinner yet. At that moment, he opened his mouth and ordered the soldiers to bring dinner, and then he looked at Guo Jia and asked, "What does Feng Xiao think our army should do?" ”

"My lord, I really don't want to spend a long time here! But if they retreat so easily, I am afraid that Liu Bei and Tao Qian will look down on the lord. Therefore, the lord should ask for the funds to withdraw from the army! Guo Jia said with a slight smile.

"Then how can Tao Qian be willing to pay obediently? Unless our army wins again! Cheng Yu said.

"What Brother Zhongde said is good, then let's win again!" Guo Jia said with a smile. Everyone in the big tent was stunned when they saw Guo Jia's smile, and at the same time, everyone's hearts were a lot calmer! It seems that losing one game today is not a big deal.

At this time, the food was put on the table, and Cao Cao immediately beckoned everyone to start eating. Guo Jia looked at the food on the table at this time, and said silently in his heart: "Han Fei, I will strike first this time, and let's see how you deal with it." ”

Han Fei didn't know that Guo Jia had prepared a big gift for himself over there, and he was helping Dian Wei carry the drunk Zhang Fei into the car. Then he went to the military camp in the city with Liu Bei and others. Originally, Tao Qian asked Liu Bei to stay in the state governor's mansion, but Liu Bei also returned to the barracks on the grounds that there was something in the camp.

The soldiers in the camp ate very well in the evening, and it seems that Tao Qian really did what he said and brought meat and wine to the camp. Liu Bei ordered everyone to rest, but left Han Fei alone.

"But do you still regret that you didn't pick up Xuzhou just now?" Han Fei asked Liu Bei.

"Zicong, did you hear that? But I don't regret my decision at all! Liu Bei stared at Han Fei and said.

"Well, the lord did the right thing, this will make Tao Qian still persevere, and when he really can't hold on, he will come to the lord and you!" Han Fei said with a smile.

Liu Bei smiled noncommittally, and then asked Han Fei seriously: "Zicong, what do you think we should do next?" ”
