"Report! Yanzhou Cao Mengde replied! ”

"Hurry up!"

Liu Beizhan looked at the letter, only glanced at it, and his face became extremely ugly.

What Cao Cao sent was not a reply at all, but a text from the conquest of Xuzhou!

Liu Bei's letter to Cao Cao was sincere, hoping that Cao Cao would put state affairs and the lives of all the people first, endure anger, and resolve it peacefully. However, Cao Cao insisted on using troops against Xuzhou and replied to the text without any explanation, without any politeness, only warnings and threats.

It is very clear in the text that whoever helps Xuzhou is my Cao Cao's mortal enemy!

Liu Bei's face turned blue, and his lips trembled slightly.

was warned and threatened, Liu Bei was not afraid. was despised and Liu Bei didn't care. Since the beginning of the army, no prince has ever paid attention to him, and Liu Bei has become accustomed to being ignored by everyone.

However, he couldn't stand Cao Cao's evil act of forcibly seizing Xuzhou!

Xuzhou is the gateway to the west and south of Qingzhou, and it is also the strategic goal planned by Xu Shu for Liu Bei.

If Cao Cao occupies Xuzhou, he will close the passage in both the west and south directions. Liu Bei will be completely surrounded by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and there will be no possibility of outward expansion.

Liu Bei handed the letter to Xu Shu calmly, Xu Shu took it, didn't even look at it, and put it aside. He had read the content of the letter from Liu Bei's face, and said lightly: "Xuzhou is not guaranteed, Qingzhou will become the next Xuzhou." ”

……

"Report! General Anyiwei's Mansion replied! ”

"Hurry up!"

The content of Liu Mang's letter was as Liu Bei expected.

Hedong was too far away from Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and Liu Mang was unable to send troops to mediate. However, Liu Mang said in the letter that he had sent a letter to Cao Cao, stating the benefits and disadvantages of using troops in Xuzhou, and strongly advised Cao Cao to act cautiously.

Liu Mang also said that as an ally, he resolutely supports all actions in Qingzhou.

The last sentence of the letter is exactly the same as what Xu Shu said: Xuzhou is not guaranteed. Qingzhou survives?

Xu Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Liu Jiangtian is generous in his words, but he has no substantive actions, and the lord needs to make a decision carefully." ”

Liu Bei sighed silently......

……

"Report! Xuzhou sent an envoy to the outside of the city. ”

"Who's the messenger?"

"Xuzhou, don't drive to engage in Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong."

"Huh?!" Liu Bei stood up "poutingly" and said busily: "Prepare quickly." Welcome to your guests! ”

Liu Bei walked back to the back hall quickly, shouting as he walked: "Change clothes, change clothes!" ”

The concubine hurriedly took out a brand-new robe and prepared to serve Liu Bei to change clothes, Liu Bei just stretched out his arms and hesitated. Said: "Don't wear this, wear that faded crimson robe!" ”

……

Mi Zhu was received with the highest courtesy in Qingzhou.

Except for Guan Yu, who was stationed in Jinan, Cao Peng, the main official of Qingzhou Prefecture, all went out of the city with Liu Bei to greet him.

Liu Bei stepped forward quickly, grabbed Mi Zhu's hand, and shook it affectionately, his eyes seemed to be filled with tears. "God is not merciful, so that I can't see Mr. Zizhong as soon as possible......"

Liu Bei's sensationalism was very infectious, and Mi Zhu and Liu Bei met for the first time. was moved by Liu Bei. "Humanitarian, virtuous, benevolent, when I see it today, it is true!"

Mi Zhu's side, a well-dressed scholar saluted Liu Bei very standardly: "Sun Qian, I have seen Xuande Gong." ”

"Oops! It turned out to be Mr. Gongyu of Beihai Yingling! Liu Bei grabbed Sun Gan's hand, "God has mercy on you, so that you can see Mr. Gongyou!" ”

Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou, has just come out, and Liu Bei can accurately say his words and place of origin. Coupled with his excited expression and trembling movements, Sun Qian was instantly moved more than Mi Zhu......

……

Mi Zhu came here just to ask Liu Bei for help to solve the difficulties in Xuzhou.

"Xuande Gong. On behalf of Xuzhou Tao Gong and the three million Li people, Mi Zhu implored Xuande Gong to send troops to mediate and save Xuzhou from fire and water! ”

After Mi Zhu finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

Liu Bei hurriedly dressed up, respectfully returned the salute, and tears appeared in his eyes again. "The difficulty of Xuzhou. The misfortune of the country and the misfortune of the people. Although the preparation is small, he does not dare not take the national fortune of the Han Dynasty as his own responsibility, and he does not dare to ignore the lives of the people. ”

Mi Zhu goodbye. "Xuande Gong Gao Yi!"

Liu Bei helped Mi Zhu sit down kindly. "Xuzhou Qingzhou is like lips and teeth. Tao Gong and Bei are both Hanchen, such as brothers with different surnames. The two gentlemen, Bei and Zizhong Gongyou, although they met for the first time, felt like brothers. And the people of Xu and Qing are even more prepared for their parents, brothers and children, without them to cultivate textiles, how can they prepare meals? How to dress? As he spoke, Liu Bei excitedly shook the faded robe on his body.

Liu Beizhi's sensationalism, the upper can move the sky, the lower can move the ground, Mi Zhu Sun Qian has already been impressed, only to keep giving salutes to show respect.

Liu Bei stretched out his long arm and waved it decisively. "Don't dare to forget the righteousness of the world, and will do your best to help Xuzhou. My Qingzhou, although there are only 30,000 soldiers and less than 100 horses, I am willing to do everything I can to live and die with Xuzhou! ”

The lord Liu Bei was impassioned, and Xu Shu beat the side drum at the right time. "To solve the difficulties of Xuzhou, it is better to plan carefully and ensure that both Xuzhou and Qingzhou are available."

Mi Zhu hurriedly said: "What Mr. Yuan Zhi said is very true! "No matter how generous Liu Bei is, he can't let his family save Xuzhou, and the lost soldiers will lose their territory.

Enough is impassioned, it's time to talk about the difficulties. Liu Bei said helplessly: "My Qingzhou soldiers and horses are weak, and there is not enough food and grass, so it is really difficult to compete with Cao Mengde." ”

Liu Bei is so righteous, how can Xuzhou not show something.

Mi Zhu said: "Xuande Gong, please relax, Tao Gong has promised that the grain and grass supply required by Qingzhou will be borne by Xuzhou." Mi deeply felt the righteousness of Xuande and promised that Xuzhou would compensate for the loss of soldiers and horses in Qingzhou to be solved. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly said that he didn't have to be polite, and Xu Shu continued to beat the side drum: "Mr. Zizhong is generous, but I'm afraid that Tao Gongli can't do it." ”

Mi Zhu smiled proudly: "If Xuzhou is beyond his reach, Mi is willing to become a soldier and fulfill his promise!" ”

Who is Mi Zhu? One of the richest people in the world!

"Ahhh Dezi Zhong Yinuo, Bei'an dares not to do his best! ”

Sun Gan said: "Mr. Xuande Gong and Mr. Zizhong are on the occasion of righteousness, Sun Gan is willing to rush to Beihai to borrow grain and grass from Kong Wenju to help Xuande Gong." ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed. "So good! A certain book was repaired, and Xianhe (Jian Yong) rushed to Beiping to ask Gongsun Boqi to send cavalry to help. ”

Everyone was overjoyed.

After analyzing the situation of the assembly of Cao's army, Liu Bei decided to rescue the Lang evil country in Xuzhou from the east road, through the Qi State and the Beihai State.

Xu Shu was ordered to sit on the plain, and Guan Yu was to guard Jinan. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei led a large army and rushed to Linqu in Qi State. There, after converging with Beiping and Beihai, the soldiers and horses marched to Xuzhou.

……

Xuzhou, Tan County.

Tao Qian half-leaned and half-sat on the couch.

He never expected that the act of currying favor with Cao Cao would bring disaster to Xuzhou.

was originally an old and sick body, how could it be such a blow.

Cao Cao did not listen to any explanation and sent troops to Xuzhou. However, the Xiapi State and the State were in harmony with each other, prevaricating for various reasons, and refusing to send troops to help defend it. The only way Tao Qian can think of now is to die......

"Report!" The sound of the scout's flight report came, and Tao Qian's body went weak and collapsed on the couch...... (To be continued.) )
