In 192, after killing Dong Zhuo, Lü Bu escaped from Chang'an City. With a few hundred followers, he wanted to defect to Yuan Shu. Lu Bu thought that he had killed Dong Zhuo and avenged Yuan Shu. So I look forward to Yuan Shu treating himself well. However, Yuan Shu considered Lü Bu a traitor and did not accept him.

Later, Lu Bu went to Yuan Shao. and Yuan Shao went to crusade against Zhang Yan. Lü Bu defeated Zhang Yan. Then ask Yuan Shao to increase his troops. And Lu Bu connived at the soldiers to burn, kill and loot, which made Yuan Shao even more dissatisfied. Lu Bu sensed Yuan Shao's intentions and wanted to leave. Yuan Shao was afraid that Lu Bu would harm him, so he sent someone to assassinate Lu Bu. Lu Bu heard the wind and fled. Yuan Shao was going to send troops to pursue Lü Bu. All the generals were afraid of Lu Bu's bravery and did not dare to approach.

Lü Bu later defected to Zhang Miao instead. Zhang Miao himself was at odds with Yuan Shao, but Zhang Miao was afraid that Cao Cao would kill him because of Yuan Shao, and he always felt very uneasy in his heart. Zhang Miao followed Chen Gong's advice, accepted Lu Bu, and let Lu Bu serve under his account.

Lu Bu finally found the person who contained him.

At this time, because of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, they revolted again. Cao Cao had a meritorious crusade against the Yellow Turban Army. He was named General Zhendong by the imperial court. He recruited talents everywhere, and celebrities and fierce generals all came to defect. Wen has Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and others, Wu Yu Ban, Dian Wei and others, and there are many talents under him for a while.

Cao Cao sent someone to Langyu to pick up his father Cao Song. When Cao Song took his family to Xuzhou, Xuzhou Taishou Tao Qian not only warmly entertained them, but also specially sent Captain Zhang Min to escort them. Who knew that Zhang Min was greedy for the Cao family's money, and actually killed all the Cao family and fled.

From here, it can be seen that Tao Qian did not intentionally want to kill Cao Cao's family. It was Tao Qian's pig teammate Zhang Min who killed it. And Cao Cao's side designated that Tao Qian killed it. Tao Qian must be unlucky now. Dare to make Cao Cao angry. The consequences are generally not good.

After Cao Cao learned that his whole family had been killed, he gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "Tao Qian killed my father, this is an enmity that does not share the heavens!" I can only take revenge now by leading the army to bloody Xuzhou! After speaking, Cao Cao immediately led the army and went to Xuzhou. And every time he got a city, he slaughtered all the people of the city.

At this time, Tao Qian knew that he couldn't beat Cao Cao, and originally planned to tie himself up and go to Cao Ying to ask for help, but the general Mi Zhu suggested that he ask for help from Beihai Taishou Kong Rong and Qingzhou Assassin Shi Tian Kai. Tao Qian sent Mi Zhu and Chen Deng to Beihai and Qingzhou respectively to ask for help.

Soon after Mi Zhu arrived in Beihai, he was besieged in the city by the Yellow Turban Army with Kong Rong.

At this time, Kong Rong sent people to ask Liu Bei for help, and Liu Bei led 3,000 men and horses to come. Soon the siege of Beihai was lifted, and Kong Rong invited Liu Bei to go to Xuzhou to rescue Tao Qian, and Liu Bei readily agreed.

Liu Bei borrowed the general Zhao Yun and 2,000 men from Gongsun Zhan and went to Xuzhou overnight. Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to stay outside to answer, and he and Zhang Fei led a thousand men and horses into Xuzhou. Tao Qian saw that Liu Bei was a hero, so he wanted to give Xuzhou to him, but Liu Bei refused to accept it.

Later, Liu Bei sent a letter to Cao Cao, persuading him to cease fighting. Cao Cao was unwilling, but suddenly received news that Lu Bu had been run over several times and defected to Zhang Miao. Now on the orders of Zhang Miao, he is leading troops to attack his base in Yanzhou and Puyang. At this time, Cao Cao had no choice but to accept Guo Jia's suggestion. Push the boat down the river, and retreat to the rescue.

Tao Qian saw the besiegers retreating. I can't help but rejoice in my heart. Invite Kong Rong, Tian Kai, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun to the city for the banquet. At the banquet, Tao Qian once again proposed to give up Xuzhou, but Liu Bei refused. At this time, Tao Qian had to ask Liu Bei to temporarily garrison Xiaopei to help defend Xuzhou. Liu Bei reluctantly agreed.

Why did Tao Qian give Xuzhou to Liu Bei the first two times? Why did Liu Bei refuse?

I think it is estimated that Tao Qian is old. Tao Qian saw that Liu Bei was a real hero. Especially when Xuzhou was in crisis, he brought troops to rescue.

So I want to give Xuzhou to the young Liu Bei to do it. In this way, the strength of Xuzhou can be preserved. Second, we can protect the fathers and people of Xuzhou. Let someone like Liu Bei manage Xuzhou, so that the people of Xuzhou can live with peace of mind.

So why did Liu Bei refuse? I think, first, Liu Bei is not very familiar with Xuzhou, in case there is something wrong in Xuzhou. Liu Bei, who has no experience in this area, is not easy to start. The second is that Liu Bei feels that there is no way to take over Xuzhou under the current situation. In case Cao Cao called, there was nothing he could do, and if he didn't save Xuzhou, he would lose everything. At this time, Liu Bei wanted to wait and see what happened. When the time comes, it is not too late to take over Xuzhou.

This is the reason for the author's analysis.

It is said that when Cao Cao returned, he happened to meet Lu Bu. Although Cao Cao said that Lu Bu's tactics were very clumsy. However, Lü Bu threw his cavalry and defeated Cao Cao's elite Qingzhou soldiers. These Qingzhou soldiers were the troops that Cao Cao incorporated when he exterminated the Yellow Turban Army.

Lu Bu caused chaos in the Cao army. Cao Cao could only ride his horse and flee.

At this time, thanks to Cao Cao's fierce general Dian Wei, he came to the rescue. Cao Cao also fell off his horse and injured his hand by fire.

Later, Lu Buyin listened to the strategy of the strategist Chen Gong. also designed to almost let Cao Cao be captured alive.

Later, in 194, both armies withdrew due to locust plague and famine, and after the end of the war, the people's lives fell into a state of famine, and there was almost a tragic situation of cannibalism.

At this time, Tao Qian, who was not long 63 years old, suddenly fell seriously ill. Seeing that the deadline was approaching, when he was dying, Tao Qian summoned Liu Bei to the bed and begged Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou again. Liu Bei repeatedly shirked at this time, and Tao Qian died of hatred.

Tao Qian died.

That Tao Qian did not die of illness before. What happened?

In 194, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian submitted a table and proposed to appoint Liu Bei as the assassin of Yuzhou. Later, Tao Qian was sick in bed. It is necessary to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei. At first, Liu Bei resolutely resigned on the grounds of Yuan Shu.

This is the record in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms".

So did Liu Bei take over Xuzhou in the end?

The first is the version on Romance.

After Tao Qian's death, his subordinates handed over the Xuzhou card seal to Liu Bei, Liu Bei resolutely refused to accept it, and the next day, the people of Xuzhou came to Liu Bei's mansion crying and asked Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also repeatedly persuaded Liu Bei that he could no longer shirk. I had to obey my fate and take on the heavy responsibility of managing Xuzhou.

The second is the version on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Liu Bei stayed in Xuzhou under the strong advice of Chen Deng and Kong Rong.

These two versions, no matter who persuaded Liu Bei. In the end, Liu Bei took over Xuzhou. That's for sure. Because Liu Bei saw that the time was ripe, coupled with the persuasion of others. Liu Bei finally agreed to take over Xuzhou.

So what happened next?

When Cao Cao heard that Liu Bei had won Xuzhou, he couldn't help but be furious, so he sent troops to fight. The strategist Xun Yu suggested that he attack the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan and other places and seize the local grain. Cao Cao captured Yingchuan, Runan and other places according to the plan, and also surrendered a general Xu Zhu. Speaking of which, it is recorded in the official history that Yuan Shu came to attack Liu Bei. Liu Bei fought against Yuan Shu.

Speaking of which, it is described in the "Romance" that Cao Cao recovered Yanzhou and Puyang. Lu Bu was desperate and came to Xuzhou to seek refuge with Liu Bei. Liu Bei is also very good. is generous, regardless of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the resolute opposition of the two, they gave Xiaopei to Lu Bu and let him live there temporarily.

At this point, the chapter of Xuzhou Fengyun is also coming to an end.

What happened to Lu Bu in Xuzhou? Please follow below.

Tao Qian is dead, but he has been mentioned many times above. What kind of person is Tao Qian? What about his background?

Tao Qian is a very inconspicuous character in the Three Kingdoms. The image in the history of the Three Kingdoms gives people a kind of gentle and elegant old man.

Moreover, Cao Cao regarded Tao Qian as an enemy. At this time, because Tao Qian killed Cao Cao's father Cao Song and younger brother Cao De.

Tao Qian had three times to Xuzhou Mu to Liu Bei. In the end, they died early. So what is Tao Qian's life? The following is an introduction to Tao Qian's life.

Tao Qian, whose name is Gongzu, is a native of Danyang, Yangzhou. Tao Qian lost his father at an early age. He lacks family education. became a prodigal son.

Later, Tao Qian became a person who studied hard and was young and studious. Later, Tao Qian was recommended as Maocai and served as the county magistrate of Lu County. Later, it was promoted to the history of Youzhou Thorn. The official is the speaker.

In 185, the army under the jurisdiction of Zhang Wen, a general of the chariot cavalry, fought against Han Sui together. Later, due to the resurgence of the Yellow Turban Party in Xuzhou, Tao Qian served as the assassin of Xuzhou at this time, and annihilated the Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop.

In 190, when Dong Zhuo rebelled, Tao Qian also sent troops to crusade. Later, after Dong Zhuo's rebellion subsided, Tao Qian was appointed as General Andong and Xuzhou Pastoral Envoy.

After Tao Qian got Xuzhou. It is also a warlord who has become a separatist party. Almost as equal to the great warlord Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu at that time.

Xuzhou was at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It's a relatively large territory. Both strategic and military strength are relatively outstanding.

Moreover, Xuzhou is relatively rich, and people from other places often come here.

Tao Qian alienated Zhao Yu, the upright Guangling Taishou, and instead got close to the traitorous Cao Hong, and the rewards and punishments were uneven, and the politics were unclear, so that the loyal people were killed and Xuzhou was in chaos. He also served as a subordinate to plunder with Que Xuan, who was known as the Son of Heaven, and later killed Que Xuan and reorganized his soldiers and horses.

In 193, Cao Cao, who was already a pastor of Yanzhou, ordered Taizhou Taishou Yingxun to escort Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, to Yanzhou.

According to the records of the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", Tao Qian sent people to intercept and kill Cao Song and Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De on the way because he was annoyed with Cao Cao.

And the Book of the Later Han Dynasty recorded Tao Qian's generals. Because of the greed for the property carried by Cao Song and his party. An attack was launched on the border between Hua County and Fei County. killed Cao Song's father and son.

No matter how they killed Cao Song's father and son. Cao Cao regarded Tao Qian as an enemy who killed his father. and quickly launched a fierce attack on Tao Qian.

Cao Cao Xingshi crusaded against Tao Qian. Menacing.

Surabaya was full of corpses, and under Cao Cao's onslaught, Tao Qian was defeated, and Cao Cao retreated.

In 194, Cao Cao went east again, Tao Qian wanted to escape from Danyang, and Liu Bei came to ask for rescue.

Tao Qian appointed Liu Bei as the assassin of Yuzhou, and garrisoned Xiaopei. He also said to Mi Zhu: "Except for Liu Bei, no one else can rule Xuzhou." "Later, in the case of internal and external troubles. Tao Qian's old illness relapsed. He died of illness at the age of sixty-two.

Later, Liu Bei was repeatedly persuaded by Chen Deng and Kong Rong. In the end, he became the new owner of Xuzhou.

The head of Tao Qian Rongma has been a whole life. It can be described as a dedication. There are indeed very few loyal ministers like Tao Qian. There was just a small episode. It was Tao Qian who sent people to kill Cao Cao's father Cao Song and younger brother Cao De.

However, most historians believe that Cao Song's father and son were not killed by Tao Qian's will. It was Tao Qian's subordinate Zhang Min who was killed because of greed for money.
