After Liu Shi finished adjusting and was preparing to go to Taiyuan, Wang Xiu and Wang Fu came to Chang'an with more than a dozen people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Liu Shi was overjoyed and arranged for Wang Xiu and Wang Fu to work for the state, but he was stunned by a piece of news brought by Wang Xiu: Originally, he still wondered if he was famous, so did Wang Xiu and Wang Fu come to defect? But this Wang Fu is the long history of Kong Beihai, shouldn't he come?

After listening to Wang Xiu's story, I understood: Kong Rong was broken by Yuan Tan, fled from Qingzhou, and went to Xu County to join the Son of Heaven.

This Cao Cao dared to set up the imperial capital in Xu County, it seems that he is very wary of Yuan Shao!

Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao avenged his father, bloodbathed Xuzhou, Xu, Yan Erzhou celebrities, sages were all shocked, Chen Gong, Bian Rang persuaded not to listen, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian sent the state to engage in Mi Zhu to Beihai for help, and met Liu Bei.

Kong Rong was agitated by righteousness, Liu Bei agreed with indignation, had 3,000 troops, and selected 2,000 soldiers from the Yellow Turban tribes received by Liu Shi, bid farewell to Liu Shi and Kong Rong and returned to the plain, and sent Gongsun Zan to him, and the 1,000 light cavalry under the control of Zhao Yun took it to the aid of Xuzhou.

After Liu Bei arrived, he met with Kong Rong and Wu Anguo, saying that he had an old relationship with Cao Cao, and he needed to salute first and then soldier, so that Guan Yu set up camp and took Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun into the city. The defenders of the city hurriedly opened the door when they saw the big banner "Pingyuan Liu".

Tao Qian and Liu Bei met when they met during the alliance, and both sides gave gifts.

Tao Qian felt very guilty because of Cao Cao's blood washing in Xuzhou, and saw that Liu Bei wanted to make concessions in Xuzhou.

Liu Bei Zhengse said: "Does Ming Gong want to be caught in injustice? I came to the rescue at the invitation of Kong Beihai out of righteousness. ”

Tao Qian saw that Liu Bei sternly refused to accept Xuzhou, so he had to give up. The two discussed how to withdraw from the army.

Liu Bei said: "I am also familiar with Cao Gong, in line with the first salute and then the soldiers, send a letter, if Cao Gong does not retreat, it is not too late to meet again." ”

Cao Cao received Liu Bei's letter, threw the letter on the ground, and scolded Liu Bei for not knowing what to do, and wanted to kill the envoy and step up the attack.

Strategist Xi Zhicai hurriedly came in and said: "Wait, I received the report just now, and I found a large army behind Liu Bei, about 100,000 people, moving towards Xuzhou under the banner of Liu, and I will talk about it when it is investigated." ”

At this time, the junior colonel sent Xun Yu an urgent letter: "Yanzhou was attacked by Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong, and the situation was critical, and Cheng Yu and Xun Yu could only keep Juancheng, Fan, and Dong'e counties fortified. ”

Cao Cao was shocked and said, "Yanzhou is lost, I have no home!" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "It's better to sell a favor to Liu Bei, but let Tao Qian compensate 100,000 yuan for grain and grass, which can also be used to dispel their suspicions and avoid Xuzhou chasing after them." ”

Cao Cao replied to Liu Bei: "The army can be discussed, but within three days, the Yanzhou army will be compensated with 100,000 yuan of grain and grass, and the thief will be arrested." ”

Tao Qian was too short of time and Xuzhou could only provide 30,000 pieces of grain and grass after the war, and Xuzhou would make every effort to arrest the thief Zhang Min, and once captured, he would immediately send it to Cao Cao for processing.

Cao Cao agreed to withdraw his troops after receiving 30,000 pieces of grain and grass.

The siege of Xuzhou has been lifted, Tian Kai and Kong Rong each retreated, and Liu Bei also bid farewell to Tao Qian.

Tao Qian took Liu Bei's hand and said: "Xuzhou is not a public and cannot be guaranteed, I will give you 4,000 Danyang soldiers, and then show you as the assassin of Yuzhou." There is a small Peike garrison next to Xuzhou, you can stay here, all the grain and grass supply in Xuzhou, I don't know what Xuande wants? ”

Liu Bei saw that Tao Qian's words were earnest, so he had to write to Gongsun Zhan to resign and stay in Xuzhou.

A few days later, Liu Shi came to Xuzhou, where he was extremely wealthy and had many houses.

However, after Tao Qian heard about this, he gave Liu Bei's mansion the first set.

Tao Qian saw that Mrs. Liu Bei was dying early, and married his niece Gan Qian to him.

By the end of the year, Tao Qian was becoming increasingly ill and knew that he would die soon, so he called farewell to Mizhu and Chen Deng to discuss.

Mi Zhu said: "If it is not Liu Bei, you can't settle in Xuzhou!" Before the official body was strong, Liu Bei did not accept it, and at this time, the public was in poor health, and Liu Bei must not refuse. Why didn't the public invite Liu Bei to come? ”

Tao Qian looked at Chen Deng again, and Chen Deng nodded.

Tao Qian sighed secretly, "My two sons are really useless!" That's it! "Send a message to Liu Bei to Xuzhou.

Tao Qian took Liu Bei's hand and said: "Today, I pass on the king, there is nothing else, I am seriously ill now, I am afraid it will be difficult to get better, the gentleman is benevolent, and for the Han family, for the people of Xuzhou, I hope to take over Xuzhou." ”

Liu Bei took Tao Qian's hand and said with tears: "Jun is in good health, occasionally infected with small itches, there should be no big deal, not to mention that Jun has two sons, why don't you hand over Xuzhou to them, be prepared to help, no dissent." ”

Tao Qian sighed: "Although I have two sons, the eldest son Ying and the second son Shang, but they are all overwhelmed, and you must not let them take over the affairs of the state." After I die, these two sons will still be taught and taken care of by Mingjun. After saying that, he was out of breath.

Liu Bei hesitated, and Chen Qun, who was engaged in Yuzhou, persuaded Liu Bei: "Xuzhou is not a good place, most of the Xuzhou army is controlled by the Danyang people, the villagers of Tao Xuzhou, and its military leaders Cao Bao and Chen Tan are extremely powerful in the army, and they are not controlled by the public. Once something happens, the army is different, and the public is in danger. The money and grain are controlled by Mi, and the officials in the state are the old ones of the Chen family, a famous family in Xuzhou, and the three parties are not satisfied. If the Ming Duke can take Yuzhou as the base, although he can only control the land of the two counties, he is better than unfettered, and he can calmly govern it to see its changes. ”

Liu Bei agreed and rejected Tao Xuzhou's kindness.

Chen Deng, who was engaged in Xuzhou, rushed to Xiaopei and persuaded Liu Bei: "Today, the Han family has been robbed, the sea has been overturned, and the meritorious service is today." Xuzhou is rich, with a household registration of one million, and hopes that the public can supervise Xuzhou and return the people to peace. ”

Liu Bei said: "Beide is thin and shallow, Yuan Highway is close to Shouchun, this Duke is the fourth and third dukes, and everyone expects to return, you can recommend him as Xuzhou Mu!" ”

Chen Deng said: "Yuan Highway is arrogant and lascivious, rigid and self-serving, and is not the master of chaos. If you can lead Xuzhou and get 100,000 steps to ride, you can help the people and become the business of the five hegemons, and you can cut the land and defend yourself, and leave a record in the history books. This is called heaven and not taking, and regret is beyond reach. If you don't take it now, I won't dare to listen to you anymore. ”

Kong Rong also sent a letter to persuade: "Yuan Shu! Dry bones in the mound. Xuzhou! If you don't take the land from heaven, you will suffer from it. ”

Liu Bei weighed the pros and cons, received the seal ribbon, took over Xuzhou, and handled the affairs of Tao Gong.

Mi Zhu was recruited as Xuzhou Beijia, Chen Qun, Sun Qian was engaged, and Chen Deng was a staff member.

As soon as Xiaopei's soldiers returned to Yancheng, they went out to settle the people and arrange funerals.

Xuande and the big and small soldiers, all hung filial piety, set up a memorial service, and after the sacrifice, they were buried in the plains of the Yellow River. Will Tao Qian's posthumous table, Shen played the imperial court.

Soon, Kong Rong was broken by Yuan Tan, abandoned the city and left, Kong Rong's general Wu Anguo led his troops to defect, Liu Bei was overjoyed, gave the school captain, and guarded the East China Sea.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan fought in the boundary card, but unexpectedly, Yecheng in the backyard was occupied by the black mountain thieves Yu Poison.

It turned out that Yu Poison was relieved by Cao Cao's strategy, and after returning to the old nest, he was unwilling, and saw Yuan Shao fighting with Gongsun, thinking that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and set troops in Yecheng.

After Yuan Shao received the secret report, he made peace with Gongsun Zhan and retreated to Boluojin, at this time the news spread, and the entourage of generals and strategists were all discolored, and they were panicked, and they didn't know what happened to their parents, wives and children at home. Only Yuan Shao looked as usual.

Yuan Shao sent the generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Ju Yi, and invited strategists Tian Feng and Xu You to come to discuss.

At this time, the school came to report: "The Yecheng family has arrived." ”

Yuan Shao summoned him and asked carefully: Among the Black Mountain thieves was named Tao Sheng, who was at odds with the thieves, and after leading the troops into the city, he secretly sent Yuan Shao and the families of the strategists and generals out. Hearing that Yuan Shaotun's soldiers were in Boluojin, he sent it.

Yuan Shaoci Feng Tao was promoted to the general of Jianyi Zhonglang and marched into the army to rebuke Qiu.

When the Montenegrin thief saw Yuan Shao attacking from three sides, he was afraid in his heart and retreated to Montenegro.

Yuan Shao led his troops in hot pursuit, and tens of thousands of thieves such as poison were wiped out in the black mountain thief's lair, and only a few escaped through the net.

Jizhou recovered, and Yuan Shao's prestige soared.

At this time, Lu Bu came to vote.

Yuan Shao decided to exterminate Zhang Yan, a Yanshan thief who lived in Changshan, to avoid future troubles.

The soldiers were divided into three routes: Lu Bu was ordered to be on the left, Ju Yi was on the right, and he brought the Chinese army. After more than ten days of fighting, Zhang Yan was defeated and forced to retreat to the mountains and forests.

Lü Bu was not rewarded by Yuan Shao for his merits, and he was dissatisfied, conniving at the looting of the soldiers, and often complaining to Yuan Shao's subordinates.

Yuan Shao was angry in his heart, and secretly killed Han Meng, who was very close to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu secretly felt that something was wrong, and asked Yuan Shao to retreat to Luoyang.

Yuan Shao ostensibly agreed, and secretly sent fifty elite killers to infiltrate Lu Bu's tent.

Lu Bu had already taken precautions, and these killers pounced.

Lü Bu fled with his cronies to Hanoi's Taishou Zhangyang.

Yuan Shao secretly sent this news to Li Xuan and Guo Yan.

Li Qi and Guo Yan were afraid that Lu Bu would unite with Zhang Yang, and bribed Zhang Yang's generals with high-ranking officials and wealth, so as to kill Lu Bu.

was known by Lu Bu in advance, and Lu Bu said to Zhang Yang: "You are the same townsman as me, I don't want to be unfavorable to you because of me, it is better to send me to Li Xuan and Guo Yan to get the favor of Li and Guo." ”

Zhang Yang knew Lu Bu's worries and arranged for Lu Bu to be alone in a county.

However, Lu Bu was not at ease and fled to Zhang Miao again.

Yanzhou Chen Gong, Xu Yan, and Wang Kai were dissatisfied with Cao Cao's bloody bath in Xuzhou, found Zhang Miao, and said to Zhang Miao: "Today is falling apart, heroes are rising, you are in the land of four wars, the jurisdiction is thousands of miles, and between Gu Pan, you are enough to be a hero, but now you are under the control of people, don't you think it's very worthless." Now Cao Cao led the army to the east, Yanzhou was empty, and Lu Buxiongjie, joining forces with him, could share Yanzhou, to observe the situation in the world, and then make changes, or to be horizontal. ”

Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao also persuaded: "Cao Cao's tiger and wolf generation, now the soldiers have invaded Xuzhou and shed thousands of miles of blood, people and gods are angry, and everyone in the world should fight it together." ”

Zhang Miao ordered Lü Bu to lead troops to attack Dongjun, and Chen Gong persuaded the officials of Dongjun to greet him.

The counties of Yanzhou responded one after another, pushing Lu Bu as the history of Yanzhou and Puyang as the state rule.

Only Juan, Dong'e, and Fan counties failed to break through because Xun Yu and Cheng Yu stubbornly defended to the death.
