Chapter 160, three let Xuzhou

Jin Yun not only showed his loyalty, but also repaid Cao Cao with practical actions, and insisted on holding Fan County extraordinarily, but also took the initiative to defeat the vanguard generals sent by Zhang Liao.

The situation in Fan County temporarily turned into a safe situation, Cheng Yu did not stop, rushed to Dong'e, halfway to find that Chen Gong's vanguard was about to cross the Yellow River, to launch a general attack on Dong'e, Cheng Yu took it to heart, simply demolished the pontoon bridge of Cangtingjin, arrived at Chen Palace on the north bank of the Yellow River, looking at the rolling and rushing Yellow River, and could only look at the river and sigh.

Cheng Yu came to Dong'e smoothly, and saw that the county commander Zao Yuan had mobilized the officials and the people to defend the city together, the army and the people were busy, united as one, and the upcoming Chen Palace army was not afraid, Cheng Yu was deeply pleased, and his excited eyes were moist, he knew very well that there were only the last three cities left in Cao Cao's territory at present, and any city could not be lost, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

The arrival of Cheng Yu also gave everyone a backbone in their hearts, and the army and the people were united and vowed to defend Dong'e to the death.

With the efforts of Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Xiahou Xuan, in the face of Lu Bu and Zhang Miao's repeated onslaughts, Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fan County have always stood tall, at this moment, Xun Yu and others are looking forward to it, hoping that Cao Cao will come back as soon as possible, Xun Yu Cheng Yu is the backbone of the local military and civilians, but Cao Cao is the backbone of the entire Yanzhou.

Cao Cao surrounded Tancheng and attacked repeatedly for several days, Liu Bei in the city, seeing that the equipment guarding the city had been exhausted, his heart fell into the abyss at the bottom, Liu Bei even had the idea of escaping, but at this time, Cao Cao received an urgent report from the rear, even if he was unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and order, "Retreat!" ”

The second time, in the eastward expedition to Xuzhou, Cao Cao had the absolute upper hand, but he once again hated and retreated.

Shi also fate, how similar it is to Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, he obviously has an advantage, but he always has to withdraw for one reason or another.

The first time, Cao Cao had to withdraw because of the lack of food and grass, and the second time, Zhang Miao suddenly turned back, and Lu Bu supported Zhang Miao, almost ending Cao Cao's nest, and Cao Cao had to return with a feather.

These two times, they have nothing to do with Tao Qian, not because Tao Qian has a good command and how much talent he has to command the troops, nor is it because the Xuzhou soldiers fought bravely and took the initiative to beat Cao Cao away.

"Cool!" Liu Bei, who originally wanted to slip away, was surprisingly lucky, and when he learned that Cao Cao had retreated, Liu Bei was excited again and cheered in his heart.

"What a blessing from heaven!"

The first time, Liu Bei didn't move a single soldier, Cao Cao retreated, and the second time, seeing that Liu Bei was about to be unable to hold on, Cao Cao retreated again.

Liu Bei's mood can be imagined, how excited and excited, he thought in his heart, "It seems that this Xuzhou is really a blessed land for my Liu Bei." ”

Although Cao Cao retreated, Tao Qian was bedridden repeatedly, and his condition did not improve because of Cao Cao's retreat, but the oil ran out, and his life came to an end irrepressibly.

Knowing that the limit is approaching, Tao Qian's mind is surprisingly sober, he knows very well that the land of the four battles in Xuzhou will inevitably lead to military disasters and wars, whoever wants to fight for it, since his son has no ability to defend Xuzhou, he simply gave it to Liu Bei.

There is Gongsun Zan in the north of Xuzhou, Cao Cao in the west, Liu Biao, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu in the south, not to mention anything else, Cao Cao retreated this time because of the fire in the backyard, who can guarantee that he will not lead the troops to commit again, Tao Qian is very wise, recruited Mi Zhu, explained the aftermath, and asked him to ask Liu Bei to lead Xuzhou Mu.

After Liu Bei saw Tao Qian, he insisted on not accepting it, and politely rejected the seal ribbon that Tao Qian handed to him.

Although he refused, but when he returned to his residence, Liu Bei didn't sleep all night, he really wanted to take the seal ribbon over, after all, he was 34 years old, and he had been wandering for so long, it was time to have a place to settle down, but if he accepted it directly, Liu Bei was worried about causing criticism and bad reputation for himself.

wants to be a bitch and set up an archway, this is the true portrayal of Liu Bei at the moment.

The last time Cao Cao retreated, Liu Bei had already refused to go back with Tian Kai, in essence, he had no way to retreat, and then wanted to go to Gongsun Zhan, it was impossible, the only way out was to continue to stay in Xuzhou, Tao Qian entered the dying moment, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

Mi Zhu didn't give up, and came to see Liu Bei again, Liu Bei said vaguely, "Is it...... Who could be more suitable than me? ”

Mi Zhu said earnestly, "Xuande Gong, don't shirk anymore, it's you." ”

Liu Bei pretended to be a gesture, and after Mi Zhu left, Chen Deng came again.

Liu Bei was secretly happy in his heart, "It seems that everyone unanimously supports letting me serve as the pastor of Xuzhou." ”

Chen Deng got straight to the point, "Jun has the name of a countryman, today there is a big chaos, the Han family is declining, meritorious service, all in the present dynasty, Xuzhou is rich and rich, with a million household registration, and wants to make the king take care of the state affairs." ”

Shirk, or shirk, Liu Bei shook his head, "How can you prepare for what virtue, now the Yuan Highway is all in Huainan, this Jun is the fourth and third dukes, the name is in the sea, and the world admires it, you can hand over Xuzhou to him." ”

Chen Deng shook his head categorically, "Yuan Shuzhi is talented, arrogant and domineering, and he is by no means a master of governing the world." ”

Seeing that Liu Bei still did not express his position, Chen Deng said again, "Xuzhou has more than 100,000 soldiers, if you make the king sit and lead Xuzhou, you can support the Son of Heaven, save the people of Li, and achieve the hegemony of the Spring and Autumn Period. ”

Chen Deng's words, Liu Bei was very useful in his heart, especially Chen Deng's praise of his reputation as a national scholar, Liu Bei almost clapped his hands excitedly and praised, "Yuanlong, he is really Xuande's confidant!" ”

However, Liu Bei's joy and anger are invisible, he knows that the more this time, the more he must calm down, and he can't express his position easily.

No matter how Chen Deng persuaded him, Liu Bei still didn't express his position.

Even if Chen Deng wanted to forcibly hold him hostage to stay in Xuzhou, Liu Bei would not agree.

Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, and Tao Qian failed to move Liu Bei, and in the end, even Kong Rong from Beihai came.

Kong Rong is a rare celebrity in the world, even he came, Liu Bei almost couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart, "It seems that this Xuzhou really belongs to me, this is the will of God." ”

Kong Rong said to Liu Bei, "Yuan Highway is a dry bone in the grave, why mind?" Today's matter, the people want to hand over Xuzhou to the envoy, but the heavens will not take it, and the regret cannot be chased. ”

Under the repeated persuasion of everyone, Liu Bei replied shyly, half-pushed, and finally accepted Xuzhou, and the first thing he did when he took office was to show Kong Rong as the Thorn History of Qingzhou.

For Kong Rong, Liu Bei reciprocated with peach, but what about Gongsun Zhan? Liu Bei has been in the plains for so long, how can he not know that the history of Qingzhou is Tian Kai.

Gongsun Chan helped Liu Bei so much, but as a result, Liu Bei stabbed the knife with a backhand and stabbed the knife into Gongsun Chan's heart.

In doing so, Liu Bei has his own considerations, he wants to officially break away from Gongsun Zhan, and openly express his stance to the world that he wants to break with Gongsun Zhan.
