0012 Send another distress message
Tao Qian looked at Zhao Yu, and saw that Zhao Yu still looked anxious, so he coughed lightly twice, and said softly: "Yuanda, it seems that this is Tan Yi's case, since God wants to arrange it like this, you and I will follow the meaning of God, you listen well, write a letter for help to Liu Xuande, and ask Liu Xuande to send someone to Xuzhou to help us!"
The Yuan brothers and Liu Xuande have always had a grudge, Yuan Highway raised troops with such fanfare, if we invite Liu Xuande to go out of the mountain and come to subdue Yuan Highway, I think, Liu Xuande will not refuse us, maybe this is our last retreat! ā
When Zhao Yu heard Tao Qian say this, his head suddenly turned, and he immediately turned from sorrow to excitement: "That's right, Liu Xuande and Yuan Highway have always had hatred, this is something that everyone knows, and now that we are isolated, we can give it a try on Liu Xuande's side."

Although Liu Xuande escaped Jiang Long, after all, he still came to do things with a benevolent heart, I expect that if we ask him to come over to help, the matter will be done, and he will not make too many demands, so wouldn't it be passive to take the initiative? ā
Tao Qian listened to Zhao Yu's radiant words, and a trace of joy appeared on his face, for Liu Jing, he knew more than ordinary people, Tao Qian knew Liu Jing, not just because he had worked with Liu Jing.
Another reason is that Tao Qian has always had the ability to recognize people, a person, as long as he has stayed in Tao Qian's front for a period of time, Tao Qian through the person's speech and demeanor, a careful observation of his thoughts and deeds, you can see the person's ability and quality, ambition and ambition, perhaps, this is also related to Tao Qian's age.
Since Zhao Yu thinks so, does Tao Qian need to say anything else? There is no need for Tao Qian to do the work of his subordinates, which is naturally a good thing, because Tao Qian is afraid that the people below him will see that he intends to give up Xuzhou, and among Tao Qian's many subordinates, this Zhao Yu is smart, so Tao Qian is still most afraid that Zhao Yu will see through things, but fortunately, Zhao Yu has not thought of that level.
After Zhao Yu wrote the distress letter, he sent someone to select the fastest galloping horse and sent it to Youzhou at an expedited speed of 800 miles.
On the other hand, Tao Qian ordered Cao Bao to mobilize more than 13,000 soldiers and horses from all over Xuzhou to transfer troops to the banks of the Surabaya River, to make the second line of defense, trying his best to prevent Yuan Shu's troops from advancing towards Xuzhou City, and buy time for the arrival of Liu Jing's reinforcements.
Tao Qian's distress letter, five days later, arrived in Youzhou City and appeared in Liu Jing's hands.
After Liu Jing carefully read the distress letter written by Zhao Yu, he immediately smiled and asked the person who sent the letter: "Is the situation in your Xuzhou really the same as what is written in this letter?" Is Yuan Highway about to capture your Xuzhou? ā
The person who sent the letter hugged Liu Jing and said: "Back to Uncle Liu's words, the situation in Xuzhou is as said in the letter, it is very crisis, Yuan Highway raised 40,000 troops, and wanted to pour the power of the whole state to take Xuzhou City in one fell swoop, and now the war has spread to the banks of the Surabaya River, less than 100 miles away from Xuzhou City, and the destruction of Xuzhou is only in the evening. ā
The messenger who delivered the letter also revealed his true feelings when he spoke, and the tears of excitement in his eyes were about to overflow, and Liu Jing couldn't bear to see it.
Liu Jing began to think about it in his heart, this Yuan Shao is dead, Qingzhou is only Yuan Shu left, this person does not get rid of one day, he will become an obstacle to my unification of the Central Plains one day, Qingzhou as a large state on the coast of the Bohai Sea, out of the plain area, more farmland, rich in grain, is a good granary.
Liu Jing originally planned to wait for Zhuge Liang to quickly occupy Yanzhou, then he ordered him to take his life, and then he took command of the expedition himself, and went to attack Qingzhou together to destroy Yuan Shu.
However, there is a good saying that the plan is not as good as the change, since now this Yuan Shu and Tao Qian have opened a tug-of-war in Xuzhou, and the battle is still very fierce, and Zhuge Liang, who is far away in Yanzhou, is also about to take Yanzhou, and victory is in sight.
Therefore, Liu Jing felt that at this time, he gathered soldiers and horses from Youzhou and marched towards Qingzhou, and at the same time sent someone to send a letter to Zhuge Liang, asking Zhuge Liang to collect the troops and horses and attack Qingzhou together.
Moreover, if he really did this, it could also be regarded as saving Tao Qian's life, so that Tao Qian would have another thing to be grateful for, which was a good thing for Liu Jing to kill two birds with one stone, and Liu Jing would certainly not let go of such a good opportunity.
Liu Jing thought about it, and said gently to the person who sent the letter: "Hehe, you Xuzhou is in trouble, this is your own Xuzhou own business, and this is also the trouble caused by your lord Tao Gongzu himself, you say, why do you have to kill Yuan Benchu by design?" Isn't this self-inflicted? I knew that Yuan Highway would come to avenge his brother, so you shouldn't provoke his Yuan brothers! ā
When the person who sent the letter heard Liu Jing say this, he sighed: "Don't hide it from Uncle Liu Huang, their Yuan brothers, but they are really too deceitful, you give us a comment, he Yuan Benchu didn't wait for Qingzhou, why did he want us to come to Xuzhou?"
Qingzhou has his own brother Yuan Highway there, and it is reasonable for Yuan Benchu to be stationed in Qingzhou, but he Yuan Benchu left Qingzhou to ask for land from our Xuzhou, this is Yuan Benchu's mistake, this is obviously their brothers conspiring to slowly annex our Xuzhou, no wonder we killed him! ā
Liu Jing smiled and said to the person who sent the letter: "You don't need to say it, in fact, I know the whole story of this matter, is it that Tao Gongzu swallowed his anger and agreed to Yuan Benchu's request to garrison, and then, in order to get out of this evil breath, the people around your lord sent General Zang Ba to lead people to ambush Yuan Benchu, coincidentally, Lu Fengxian also fled to Xuzhou, and also knew that Yuan Benchu wanted to go to Xiapi to garrison the army, so Zang Ba and Lu Fengxian teamed up to intercept Yuan Benchu, am I right? ā
The person who sent the letter heard that Liu Jing had said what Zang Ba and Lu Bu had done, and he was very surprised: "Uncle Liu Huang is really a god and a man, and the little one admires the earth and throws himself to the ground, and the villain no longer dares to hide Uncle Liu, this matter is indeed as Uncle Liu said, and there is no false ingredient!" ā
Liu Jing nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Yes, even if you are more honest, let me tell you, I am also an old friend with your father-in-law Tao Gongzu, when you had difficulties before, I also helped out, do you remember when Han Wenjie once raised troops to attack Xuzhou?" ā
When Liu Jing said that when he rose, he actually remembered that he had sent troops to help Tao Qian attack Han Fu, back then, Han Fu was strong and very arrogant, with the help of the Yuan brothers to rely on, often bullying the weak, looking for the surrounding states and counties, and even he started the idea of Xuzhou.
