Chapter 168: Let Xuzhou
Thinking about it, Tao Qian took out a beautiful token from his arms: "Xuande, this is my Xuzhou customs clearance token, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Seal is now in Xiapi City, and when this battle is over, I will hand it over to you, and Xuzhou to you!" ”
"This ...... Why is that? Tao Envoy, what are you doing here? Liu Bei was stunned by Tao Qian's words, is this what it feels like to be smashed by a pie falling from the sky?
"If there is chaos today, the princes are constantly strife, and the emperor is imprisoned in Chang'an, it is the time when my Han is in danger of survival. Xuande is a member of the Han family, and he is in the prime of life, it is a good time in life, take this opportunity to be a Kuangfu design! Old and incompetent, unable to defend the land of one side, willing to cede Xuzhou to Xuande, Xuande Qingqing Xu Erzhou land, rest and recuperate, you can attack Chang'an, capture Dong thief, welcome Your Majesty to the old capital! Please don't shirk Xuande, I will go to the court myself to report this matter! Xuande, please rest assured! ”
In fact, there is another meaning in Tao Qian's heart, that is, he hopes that Liu Bei can spare his two sons a life, with the qualifications of his two sons, if the position of Xuzhou Assassin is passed on to his two sons, they will be destroyed in a few days! If it is worn to Liu Bei, maybe Liu Bei can help him shelter these two sons!
Liu Bei listened to Tao Qian's words, and he was overjoyed, and he should accept it.
"Ahem......" Suddenly, Chen Gong coughed twice.
"What's wrong with Gongtai?" Liu Bei said with concern.
"It's okay, maybe I'm feeling a bit cold." Chen Gong waved his hand, and then glanced at Liu Bei, signaling Liu Bei not to accept this Xuzhou assassin history!
Liu Bei understood what Chen Gong meant, and immediately nodded.
"Tao Envoy Jun, although he is a member of the Han family, but his merits are meager, and now he is trembling to be the Taishou of Qingzhou, walking on thin ice, for fear that he is not competent enough! How can you get this Xuzhou thorn history again? Liu Bei said, "Besides, Bei came to help the envoy fight against Cao Cao for the sake of righteousness, do you say this, do you suspect that Bei has the intention to swallow Xuzhou?" ”
"No, no, no!" Tao Qian hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, "Qian Nai really wants to, why did Xuande say that?" ”
"Tao Envoy, don't mention this matter again!" Liu Bei refused repeatedly.
"Lord, Xuande Gong, put this matter aside for the time being, then Cao Cao is still in the city, Xiaopeicheng is still very dangerous, let's discuss the plan to resist Cao first, what do you two think?" Mi Zhu on the side interrupted the two of them.
Liu Bei and Tao Qian glanced at each other and smiled awkwardly.
"It's Bei who is confused, Bei and that Cao Cao still know each other, and first repair a letter to him, persuade him to retreat, if that Cao Cao refuses, we will lead the troops to deal with him!" Liu Bei said.
He said this is really true, so many princes looked down on him Liu Bei, only Cao Cao stepped forward, sent him wine and food, and said good things for their three brothers. Therefore, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are also considered to know each other!
"This is reasonable, then it will be troublesome Xuande!" Tao Qian thought about it and felt that Liu Bei's words were quite reasonable, so he nodded, "Someone is here to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!" ”
Liu Bei wrote a letter in a hurry, handed it to a soldier, and ordered him to send the letter to Cao Cao's camp.
"Let's go back and rest first, just wait for the results!" Tao Qian said.
"Yes!" The crowd scattered in all directions.
"Gongtai, why didn't you let Bei accept the position of Xuzhou assassin just now?" When he returned to his residence and saw that there was no one around, Liu Bei asked Chen Gongdao.
"Lord, as you just said, we are here for the sake of righteousness, can An take advantage of the danger of others to accept this Xuzhou? Moreover, no matter what, it should be acceptable to the three of them, so that he Tao Qian can be regarded as sincerely handing over Xuzhou to the lord, and the lord must also behave reluctantly in order to show the benevolence of the lord! Chen Gong said.
"So, it's been taught, thank you for the reminder!" Liu Bei thought about it, it was indeed such a reason, and he bowed to Chen Gong and said.
"The lord is serious, this is the duty of the palace!" Chen Gong hurriedly helped Liu Bei up.
"Lord, then Cao Cao will definitely not give up attacking Xuzhou, or be prepared to drag it down, and if there is no news of Yuan Shu's attack on Yanzhou in the past two days, then Mr. Xianhe will be sent to lobby!" Chen Gong said.
"Yes, I know that." Liu Bei nodded.
……
"Report!" In Cao Cao's tent, a soldier came to report, "Enlighten the lord, a letter came from outside the camp!" With that, the soldier handed the letter and withdrew from the tent.
"Huh?" Cao Cao opened the letter suspiciously, and the more he looked at it, the deeper his brows locked, and finally Fang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Hehe, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are also here!" ”
"Is that Liu Bei, who was defeated by Lu Bu under the Tiger Prison?" Xiahoudun asked.
"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded.
"Haha, I've wanted to compete with these people for a long time, and now it's just right!" Xiahou shook his hands, "Big brother, please fight!" ”
"Don't worry, Yuan, there will be a time for you to fight!" Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow you will call the battle!" ”
"Yes!" Xiahoudun was overjoyed.
"Hehe, you want me to withdraw from the army with a letter? Liu Bei, Liu Bei, don't say that the two of us don't know each other, even if the two of us have a good relationship, so what? Is it up to you to decide whether to retreat or not?! Cao Cao was talking to himself while tearing the letter to shreds. Prepare to call for battle tomorrow! Besiege! ”
……
At this moment, in the governor's mansion of Yuzhou County, a person came from afar.
"Who is you?" Yuan Shu asked.
"Returning to the state of the herd, the villain is an ordinary person, and this time he is here for the benefit of the adult!" The man arched his hand and bowed to Yuan Shu.
"My interests?" Yuan Shu is unknown.
"After the fourth and third princes of the state pastor, will they be willing to nest in this place where the beans are bigger in Yuzhou?" The man didn't answer Yuan Shu's question, but asked about Yuan Shu.
"Of course I am not reconciled, but I ...... I can't beat that Liu Biao! Yuan Shu said with some embarrassment.
"Hehe, this is a good opportunity for adults to expand their territory, adults can't miss it!" The man whetted Yuan Shu's appetite.
"Oh? A good opportunity to expand your territory? Yuan Shu asked, "What is a good opportunity to expand the territory?" ”
"My lord, half a month ago, Cao Cao sent 50,000 troops to attack Xuzhou!" Speaking of this, the man paused, "At this time, Yanzhou is the most empty time, if the adults send troops, they can go down with a snap of their fingers!" ”
"This ......" Yuan Shu hesitated, "I am an old acquaintance with that Cao Cao, isn't it okay to do this?" ”
"Adults are not poisonous and husbands, hesitate at this time, regret it afterwards, and the brothers may fight for the sake of interests, not to mention that adults and Cao Cao are just old acquaintances!" The man continued to persuade.
"Is your message accurate? Did Cao Cao really attack Xuzhou? Yuan Shu rolled his eyes and asked.
"It's true, if there is even the slightest lie, I will not die a good death!" The man swore a poisonous oath on the spot.
"Okay, then, I will believe you once, are you willing to go with our army all the way to attack Yanzhou?" Yuan Shu asked.
"I don't dare to invite you!" The man readily responded.
"Good, good!" Yuan Shu Dale, "Come on, arrange a place for this gentleman!" ”
"Thank you, sir!"
