On this day, Liu Bei and the second general Yan Wen under his command were in his own mansion.

After Yan Liang entered the main hall, he drove out all the subordinates who were waiting on the side.

Then he came to Liu Bei's side and said to Liu Bei:

"Big brother, Tao Qian's old puppet will definitely not survive this month, it seems that our previous plan has been successful! But now that the two sons of the old horseman are here, if the old horseman returns to heaven like this, it will be difficult for us to take over Xuzhou justifiably! ”

"Haha! Second brother, you don't have to worry, this is something that my brother has already thought about what to do! In this way, as soon as you go out, you will spread the news that Tao Gongzu has come to his senses, and you must say that Tao Qian said that he would pass on the position of the state pastor to me! ”

"What? In this case, wouldn't the eldest brother become the target of public criticism! In case the civil and military forces of Xuzhou unite against the eldest brother, or if the old man Tao Qian really wakes up, won't our plan be in vain again! ”

"Don't worry, brother, Tao Qian, he can't wake up! As for the civil and military forces under Tao Qian, except for Chen Deng's father and son, the rest were not taken into account by the eldest brother! Just spread the news, and you'll just wait to see the show tonight! ”

"Alright then, big brother, I'll do what you want! But big brother, you have to think twice,"

"Don't worry, big brother, I have my own plans!"

Then Yan Liang took Wen Chou and left Liu Bei's mansion, not long after they left, the entire Xuzhou City was going crazy, and Tao Zhoumu actually came to his senses before.

The most incredible thing for them was that Tao Zhoumu did not pass on the position of Xuzhou Mu to any of his two sons.

Instead, it was passed to Liu Bei, the general under his command, Liu Xuande, and for a while, Xuzhou City fell into two emotions.

The people of Xuzhou City have a very good impression of Liu Bei, and since Uncle Liu Huang came to Xuzhou, he has not only pacified the bandits in Xuzhou.

Even at his suggestion, Tao Zhou Mu issued a series of decrees.

These decrees have made them the people get considerable benefits, and they sincerely welcome Liu Bei to become the state shepherd.

Contrary to the common people are those civil and military in Xuzhou, since Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, most of the power in their hands has been divided.

Now it can be said that more than 70% of the power in Xuzhou is in Liu Bei's hands.

This makes them almost an ornament, for them who are accustomed to the benefits of power, whoever wants to move the power in their hands is equivalent to their father's killer!

They don't want Liu Bei to become Xuzhou Mu, once Liu Bei really takes the position, their good days will come to an end, and Cao Bao is the most typical representative of these people.

Before Liu Bei came, he held all the military power in Xuzhou, but since Liu Bei came, now the army in his hands is less than 20,000 soldiers guarding the city.

This is a world of difference from his previous power, he has long held a grudge against Liu Bei, he has always wanted to get rid of Liu Bei secretly, but unfortunately he is not the opponent of Liu Bei's two righteous brothers.

Even if there is no Yan Wen's second general, he is not Liu Bei's opponent.

Originally, Cao Bao was still thinking about contacting some outside help to get rid of Liu Bei.

But when the news came out, Cao Bao knew that if he didn't act soon, then he wouldn't have any chance.

At noon that day, under the cover of his family, Cao Bao unknowingly came to Tao Qian's mansion, where he met the two Tao Gongzi who were under house arrest by Liu Bei.

After meeting Cao Bao, these two Tao Gongzi seemed to have seen a savior, and they kept complaining to Cao Bao while begging Cao Bao to let them out.

Even they all said that as long as Liu Bei let them out of the house, they could give up the position of Xuzhou Mu, which made Cao Bao even more disdainful of these two straw bales.

But now is not the time to offend these two bales.

Cao Bao made up his mind to use these two straw bales to get rid of Liu Bei, as long as Liu Bei got rid of them, there was no need to keep these two straw bales!

Thinking of this, Cao Bao put on a hypocritical face, and while comforting these two Tao Gongzi, he kept instilling his plan into these two straw bales.

Soon Tao Qian's two sons were bewitched by Cao Bao, and they decided to follow Cao Bao's plan, as long as their plan can succeed, tonight will be the death date of Liu Bei and Liu Xuande!

After Cao Bao left, the two Tao Gongzi ordered someone to invite Liu Bei into the mansion.

After Liu Bei entered the governor's mansion, they begged Liu Bei to allow them to go and see their father.

His father is now on the verge of dying, if they don't see each other again, maybe they won't have a chance in the future, and their statement was agreed by Liu Bei.

And Liu Bei was very pleased that the two of them could repent, and then Liu Bei took these two Tao Gongzi out of the state pastoral mansion and went to Tao Qian's place to recuperate.

Here Cao Bao has already led people to ambush, as soon as Liu Bei and the two Tao family's straw bales enter this gate, he will lead people out of the shadows and cut the three of them into pulp!

Soon the people he was ambushing in the dark came with the news that Liu Bei and the two sons of the Tao family had arrived not far away, and they were about to enter here.

Cao Bao couldn't help but feel a little excited at that time, the dream he had been thinking about for so long was finally about to come true, and Cao Bao's hands couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, Liu Bei led the two Tao family's straw bales in, and when Liu Bei and them were just halfway through, Cao Bao couldn't help but give the order to make a move.

His men immediately rushed out and chopped the two Tao family sons beside Liu Bei into pulp, and then they surrounded Liu Bei, who was wielding two swords.

Cao Bao came out of the dark at this time, he first glanced at Liu Bei who was surrounded triumphantly, and then laughed out loud and said:

"Liu Xuande, you didn't expect the old man to appear here! Today is your time of death, and if you want to suffer less, you'd better not fight back. Maybe the old man will be merciful for a while, and he can still keep you a whole corpse! ”

Just when Cao Bao was full of pride, Liu Bei suddenly put away the double swords in his hands.

Then he glanced at Cao Bao contemptuously, and then Liu Bei said a sentence that made Cao Bao feel terrified:

"The traitor Cao Bao was bold and reckless, and killed Lord Zhou Mu Tao and the two sons of the Tao family one after another! If you don't take down this traitor, you will have your own reward in the future! ”

"No!"

With the appearance of a promise, the soldiers who had surrounded Liu Bei before suddenly turned back and surrounded Cao Bao to death.

Only then did Cao Bao know that his subordinates had already been co-opted by Liu Bei.

It seems that Liu Bei has already made a plan to get rid of himself and the Tao family's two straw bales together, but unfortunately he didn't know it, and he fell into the trap of the other party stupidly.

Cao Bao glanced at Liu Bei with great resentment, and then was directly chopped into meat paste by those soldiers, and before he died, Cao Bao shouted at Liu Bei:

"Liu Bei, you wolf-hearted thing! The old man is waiting for you below, sooner or later you will die worse than the old man! ”
