Taking advantage of Tao Qian's death, Lu Bu inadvertently helped contain Cao Cao, and Liu Bei seized Xuzhou.

Entering Xuzhou in the south was a strategy planned by Xu Shu for Liu Bei a long time ago.

But even Liu Bei himself didn't expect it to be so smooth.

Under Tao Qian's rule, although Xuzhou was slightly chaotic, due to the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Xuzhou did not participate in the war in the Central Plains, and the population and economy maintained a good growth momentum.

There is no free lunch in the world, let alone such a large piece of fat in Xuzhou.

When you eat it, it's refreshing and fragrant. But it's not easy to digest.

In the later period of Tao Qian's rule, the counties and states have gradually become independent.

In particular, the Xiapi kingdom was integrated with each other, governing the local area with religion, changing religion into shackles, and replacing law with doctrine. And the army is self-respecting, the imperial court edict is ignored, and the instructions for the Xuzhou assassin history are even more discarded like waste paper.

Cao Cao raised troops in Xuzhou, but Zhenrong refused to send troops to help Tao Qian.

After Tao Qian's death, Guangling Taishou Zhao Yu rushed to the funeral, and Zhenrong actually intercepted Zhao Yu halfway, and sent troops to seize the main city of Guangling.

Xiapi and Guangling, accounting for nearly half of Xuzhou's territory, have convenient water and land transportation, and are the southward passages and gates of Xuzhou.

Evil deeds must not be tolerated.

Moreover, Liu Bei seized Xuzhou, and one of the banners he played was to conquer Zhenrong.

If you can't fulfill your promise, you will lose trust with the Xuzhou family and the people.

……

After several months of governance, the three counties of Xuzhou Donghai, Pengcheng and Langya have gradually stabilized.

With the support of Mi's, Chen's and other families, the Xuzhou family gradually recognized Liu Bei.

It's time to make good on your promise and ask for it!

Liu Bei was studying with Xu Shu, Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, Sun Qian and others on the strategy of using troops against Zhen Rong, and Shi Tianze hurriedly came. "Lord, Zilong is coming to resign."

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth instantly drooped......

Zhao Yun and his subordinates rode lightly, which Liu Bei borrowed from Gongsun Zhan.

After the matter in Xuzhou was completed, Zhao Yun resigned, which was expected.

However, Liu Bei was reluctant.

Not only Liu Bei, but also Xu Shu and others were reluctant. Some people. I am not familiar with Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun has more than 1,000 elite light riders, and no one is reluctant!

In the area of Xuzhou, there are no military horses. Under Liu Bei. There are even very few soldiers who are good at cavalry warfare.

Even if you are willing to Zhao Yun, you are reluctant to ride more than a thousand light horses. However, you can't say to Zhao Yun, you go back and leave the cavalry behind......

Seeing the lord Liu Bei, he was crying. Xu Shu stood up with a smile and whispered a few words in Liu Bei's ear, and Liu Bei's face instantly turned bright.

……

To be honest, after getting along for half a year, Zhao Yun and Liu Bei and Zhong Wenwu also had feelings.

Under Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun did some work at most to transport grain and grass. But here, Liu Bei regarded him as a general and treated him like a brother.

Liu Bei treated Zhao Yun even better than his righteous brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, which made Zhao Yun very moved.

But. Since you choose to follow, you must be resolutely loyal, this is the discipline of discipline. No matter how deep the feelings are, they can't replace the temperance.

Farewell is Zhao Yun's only choice.

Walking on the way to the Assassin's Mansion, Zhao Yun looked lonely.

"Hey, Zilong, why are you going?" Zhang Fei came head-on.

"Oh, third brother." Zhao Yun smiled unnaturally, "Xuzhou is done." A certain went to resign to Xuande Gong and returned to Youzhou. ”

"Huh? You're leaving! Zhang Fei's eyes widened, "Tsk, alas." Tsk, sigh......" Zhang Fei kept twisting his mouth as if he had stuffed his teeth and couldn't get it out.

"General Bo Jue has the grace of knowing a certain ......"

"Zilong, don't say it." Zhang Fei patted Zhao Yun's arm vigorously. "Yes, if we are generals, we must be loyal to the lord. Although I am reluctant to let Zilong go. But I've got your back! ”

Zhang Fei's words moved Zhao Yun and felt a little comforted.

Sun Qian went out of the mansion and saw Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun facing each other, sighing long and short, secretly screaming that it was not good. Reckless Zhang Fei, don't be bad!

"Yide! I'm looking for you. Sun Qian shouted from afar.

"Mr. Gongyu, what are you looking for me?"

"The military consumption of your ministry has not been reported to me, go, hurry up and take me to your ministry for inspection."

Zhang Fei pouted. "It's a trivial matter, just ask the quartermaster, I can't figure it out. Zilong is leaving, I have to send it off. ”

"What, Zilong is leaving?" Sun Qian pretended to be surprised.

Zhao Yun repeated Fang Cai's words again, and Sun Qian sighed again and again. "Alas...... Alas...... Alas......"

didn't say anything, reached out and patted Zhao Yun's arm, and dragged Zhang Fei away to prevent him from doing anything bad.

As soon as Zhao Yun entered the mansion, he saw Shi Tianze being supported by Xu Shu and walked out with difficulty.

Zhao Yun was shocked: "What's wrong with General Runfu?!" ”

"Alas...... Alas...... Alas......" Shi Tianze shook his head in pain.

"Alas...... Alas...... Alas......" Xu Shu shook his head strangely, "Sick! ”

"Huh? But if you are sinned, you can't sit still, so go to the healer. ”

"Just go." Xu Shu replied, "Where did Zilong come from?" ”

"A certain person came to ask Xuande Gong to resign and return to Youzhou."

"Huh?" Xu Shu was surprised, "Alas...... Alas...... Alas......"

"Alas...... Alas...... Alas...... "Shi Tianze didn't know if it was painful or reluctant, and sighed a few times.

As if they had discussed, the two stretched out their hands together, patted Zhao Yun's shoulders respectively, and shook their heads.

Shi Tianze, with Xu Shu's support, limped away.

Zhao Yun looked at the backs of the two of them, and wondered in his heart: General Runfu's walking posture doesn't look like hemorrhoids!

was "sigh sigh" by several people in a row, and just got some comfort from Zhang Fei, and they were all dispersed.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a while, but still walked in.

"Xuande Gong, Xuzhou is finished, Zhao Yunte is here to resign." Zhao Yun's voice unconsciously lowered. He lowered his head deeply, as if he had done something wrong, and did not dare to look up at Liu Bei.

For a long time, I didn't hear Liu Bei's response.

"Xuande Gong...... Zhao Yunlai resigned......" Zhao Yun repeated in a low voice.

After a while, there was still no response.

Zhao Yun finally couldn't help it, raised his head slightly, and looked at it......

Liu Bei sat straight behind a few cases, holding the map on the cases with both hands, staring ahead with stunned eyes, two strings of tears, and they were pouring down.

"Xuande Gong ......" Zhao Yun choked up, but for the sake of the general's discipline, Zhao Yun spoke again, "Yun, I am here to resign......"

Liu Bei finally nodded slowly. "I and Zilong, I have no chance......"

Zhao Yun couldn't answer.

Liu Bei wiped away his tears and ordered: "Call Mr. Zizhong......"

Mi Zhu came, Liu Bei shed tears, gave a few orders, and Mi Zhu left.

Liu Bei was silent, just kept crying. Zhao Yun's heart is uncomfortable......

Mi Zhu returned, and the guards carried back a few large boxes.

When it was opened, it was filled with silk and gold and silver.

Zhao Yun was stunned, and "poof" bowed down. "Xuande Gong, Zilong doesn't dare to accept it."

Liu Bei was still only crying, as if he couldn't speak.

Mi Zhu was also in tears, leaned down, and whispered to Zhao Yun: "The lord loves talents, so he has these rewards." The lord is already bored, and if Zilong doesn't accept it, the lord will be even more uncomfortable. ”

"Why is Xuande Gong bored?"

"It's not about the conquest of Rong. The soldiers were about to be used, and Runfu became ill and could not ride horses or command the troops. Yun Chang, Wu Yunzhao, and Zhuge Gongxiu are leading the troops outside, guarding against Yuan and Cao, and the lord has no generals available, how can he not worry? Alas......"

Liu Bei urgently needed to hire people, but he came to resign, Zhao Yun felt extremely guilty.

After thinking for a moment, he finally said, "Or, wait for the conquest to be reconciled, and then leave?" ”

Mi Zhu said happily: "Zilong solves the worries of the lord, which is to solve the worries of the people of Xuzhou!" (To be continued.) )
