The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the armor light opened to the sun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The city wall of Xuzhou is extremely strong, outside the city gate of Xuzhou, hundreds of thousands of troops are standing there neatly, and the majestic momentum sweeps the whole land, as if Xuzhou is about to break into the city at this moment.

The banner above the hundreds of thousands of troops has a domineering "Cao" character written on it, which is obviously Cao Cao's army, and Cao Cao's army is likely to want to break through Xuzhou.

In the fourth year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao led his troops and horses to attack Tao Qian, and captured more than ten cities in a row.

At this time, Cao Cao's troops were under the city of Xuzhou, but Xuzhou Mu Taoqian could not defend the city, and Cao Cao led hundreds of thousands of troops to retreat because of lack of food.

As for why Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, first, because Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, fled to Langya in order to avoid Dong Zhuo's rebellion, but was killed by Tao Qian's subordinates, so Cao Cao held a grudge against Tao Qian. The second is because the city of Xuzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a must-take place for soldiers.

"Tao Qian, I, Cao Cao, will let you live a few more days, and the next time I lead the army will be when you Tao Qian dies."

Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops retreated mightily and left Xuzhou, Cao Cao had to retreat because of the lack of food and grass, Cao Cao looked at Xuzhou City in hundreds of thousands of troops and gritted his teeth, and vowed that Xuzhou would be taken down next time he came, and all men and women would be slaughtered at that time.

"Big brother, it seems that Cao Cao's army is ahead!" Xu Ning sat on the war horse and saw Cao Cao retreating from a distance, Xu Ning looked at Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops with solemn eyes and said to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei squinted his eyes at Cao Cao's army in the distance, and said a little heavily: "It seems that Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou is imminent, and our road in the future is a little difficult." ”

Liu Bei immediately ordered his group to rush to Xuzhou, and soon, Liu Bei and others came to the city of Xuzhou.

Xu Ning watched the city gate of Xuzhou closed, and the sergeants were guarding the city tower in a state of preparation, and took a sharp breath and shouted to Xuzhou City: "We are the army of Liu Bei, the ancestor of the Han family, please open the city immediately!" ”

An officer above the city tower looked at Liu Bei's army of more than 1,000 people, and immediately asked someone to run to the city to report to Tao Qian, and then shouted to Liu Bei and the others outside the door: "You guys, later, I will immediately let people report to Tao Qian's state pastor." ”

"Thank you, general." Liu Bei sat on his war horse and said with a fist at the officer who spoke.

So, Liu Bei and the others rested outside the gate of the city tower in Xuzhou for the time being, Xu Ning looked at the tall city tower in Xuzhou, and secretly admired in his heart that this is indeed a good place for both offense and defense.

Not long after, Xu Ning and Liu Bei and their entourage saw an old man with black hair and white hair, wearing brocade clothes and a white beard on the city tower, thinking that he was Tao Qian.

Tao Qian's solemn eyes looked at Liu Bei and his party, and found that this group was the army dominated by Liu Bei, although Liu Bei only had more than 1,600 people, but the majesty of that breath was extraordinary.

Because Tao Qian and Liu Bei met in his early years, Tao Qian easily recognized Liu Bei today, Tao Qian shouted at the top of his voice: "Xuande, I haven't seen you for many years, but I have been fine." ”

Liu Bei heard Tao Qian's shout, and he was also overjoyed, and responded loudly: "Xuande is all right, which makes Tao Gong worried." ”

"Quickly open the city gate and welcome Xuande in." After Tao Qian nodded to Liu Bei with a smile, he immediately ordered the officer next to him solemnly.

"Click..."

The thick gate of Xuzhou City opened, Liu Bei and the others walked towards the city step by step, Xu Ning also sat on the war horse and looked at Tao Qian, this Tao Qian does have the power of the princes all the way, but he is old and can't hold on for long.

After entering Xuzhou City, Tao Qian greeted him at the city gate, and then ordered people to arrange Liu Bei's more than 1,600 soldiers, and then found the residence of Xu Ning, Guan Yu and others.

Moreover, Tao Qian knew that there was also the only female Wu Qingxue in the group, and arranged a quiet and elegant place for Wu Qingxue alone, which made Xu Ning have a good impression of this Tao Qian in his heart.

In Tao Qian's meeting hall in Xuzhou, Liu Bei, Xu Ning and others sat on the guest side, Tao Qian sat at the head of the hall from afar, and the old Tao Qian was a little rickety.

"Why did Xuande come to my Xuzhou?" Tao Qian sat in the first place and didn't say anything polite, and said directly to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei made a look of shame, then sighed and hugged his fists at Tao Qian and said respectfully: "Tao Gong, I am ashamed to say that now Xuande has no place to settle down, I have come to live here for a while, and I hope that Tao Gong will not dislike us." ”

Tao Qian's wrinkled old face smiled and shook his head: "Xuande said that it was a blessing for me to be able to come to me, how could I dislike you and other heroes?" ”

Liu Bei then stood up and bowed to Tao Qian, after all, he and others also came to Tao Qian to plan, and the people of Xuzhou under Tao Qian's rule can also live and work in peace and contentment, so they should worship Liu Bei.

Liu Bei saluted as the lord, and Xu Ning and other generals also followed Liu Bei to salute Tao Qian, who was sitting on the main seat. Then they each sat in their seats and listened and watched quietly, whether they were subordinates could not speak casually, otherwise it would be bad for Liu Bei to lose face.

Then, Tao Qian looked at Xu Ning, who was sitting next to Liu Bei, with a deep gaze, and said with a smile: "Could it be that this is the immortal general who is comparable to Wenhou Lu Bu - General Xu?" ”

Xu Ning had already felt that the old man was glancing at him all the time, and Xu Ning did not lose his modesty and said: "Tao Gong praised it falsely, the kid is just an ordinary general." ”

"Hahaha." Tao Qian raised his head and laughed when he heard Xu Ning's humble appearance, and then said: "General Xu can't say that, I heard that General Xu is an immortal descending to earth, and he has been a rival to Lu Bu, and he is a peerless general in the world, how can it be explained by an ordinary?" ”

"Hehe..." Xu Ning didn't answer, it was a tiring job to talk to this old fox who had lived for more than sixty years, Xu Ning simply said hehe and didn't speak, so as not to be too tired to say a bunch of compliments to this old man.

Tao Qian saw that Xu Ning didn't say anything to Xu Ning after he spoke, and turned to Liu Bei to say something homely, and as he spoke, Tao Qian suddenly said a deep lament that spread over the entire hall: "Alas! ”

"Why is Tao Gong so worried, is it Cao Cao and Cao Mengde who came to attack?"

Liu Bei saw this old Tao Qian, and he was also a little worried in his heart, after all, Tao Qian was a rare good official in this troubled world.

Tao Qian sighed again, and said to Liu Bei leisurely: "Xuande, my subordinates killed Cao Cao's father by mistake, and I, the princes of Xuzhou, are worried about it, this Cao Cao wants to forcibly take my Xuzhou on this ground!" ”

You're not talking nonsense! Old man, how old you are, you are about to enter the earth, now that this troubled world is coming, who doesn't want the big cake of Xuzhou! Xu Ning felt a burst of disdain in his heart, every time people in the Three Kingdoms era sent troops, they must be famous, it was too hypocritical.

"When Cao Cao comes next time, the hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou City will be gone! Now my troops in Xuzhou are insufficient, and there is no general in charge, so it is difficult to defend the city! ”

Tao Qian then told Liu Bei and others about the current situation in Xuzhou, and he was also a little happy in his heart, Liu Bei and others came at this critical moment, maybe they could have a little hope to hold this Xuzhou City!

Liu Bei was originally passed on in the troubled times with benevolence, and when he thought that the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Xuzhou City would be slaughtered by Cao Jun, a sense of pride rushed in his heart: "Tao Gong rest assured, as long as Xuande is here, he will swear to protect Xuzhou City." ”

Tao Qian saw the resolute gaze of Liu Bei and others, and knew that Liu Bei was not in vain, Tao Qian got up from his seat with difficulty and bowed deeply to Liu Bei and said, "I am here to thank Xuande for the righteousness of the people of Xuzhou." ”

"Tao Gongyan is serious, this is what Xuande should do." Liu Bei didn't dare to bear Tao Qian's bow, and immediately stepped forward to help Tao Qian up.

Then everyone laughed and greeted each other again, as if they had forgotten the upcoming Cao Cao army at all.

Xu Ning listened to these compliments from Liu Bei and Tao Qian, and his ears itched, alas! Why do you have to talk so much nonsense! Dude, I can't get used to it! It's still good for my family's clear snow, and there is no such problem.

"Ding! The host's new mission, use all means to repel the approaching Cao Cao army and defend Xuzhou! ”
