Chapter 130: Let Xuzhou
The siege of Beihai County was lifted, Kong Rong feasted the three Liu Bei brothers in the mansion, but a person broke into the banquet, it was Mi Zhu who came to ask for help, Kong Rong saw his person, and only then remembered Tao Qian's request for help, so he told Liu Bei about it.
Liu Bei was surprised, "Xuzhou Tao Qian is a deferential gentleman, can Cao Cao An commit the realm of Xuzhou?" ”。
Mi Zhu said that Zhang Wen killed Cao Cao's father Cao Song, Cao Cao was angry with the people of Xuzhou, threatened to slaughter the city, and said sadly, "Now Cao Cao's soldiers are besieging Xuzhou, and Xuzhou can be broken overnight, and the two princes are invited to rescue!" ”。
Kong Rong said to Liu Bei on the side, "Jun is a member of the royal family, this time Cao Cao brutalized the people and bullied the weak, why not go to Xuzhou with Kong Rong?" ”。
Liu Bei's face was embarrassed, he originally came to rescue Kong Rong, but it should be Zhang Mancheng is an unknown person, so he made a favor, and Cao Cao, who surrounded Xuzhou, had many soldiers and generals, Liu Bei was unwilling to confront Cao Cao head-on, so he could only reluctantly say, "It's not that Xuande refuses to save Xuzhou, it should be a small number of soldiers under his command, I'm afraid it's useless!" ”。
Kong Rong saw that Liu Bei's two brothers were powerful people, so he thought about taking Liu Bei to Xuzhou together, so he said, "This is also easy to do, I heard that Fujun and Gongsun Chan are familiar with each other, why don't you go to Gongsun Chan to borrow some people and horses and go to Xuzhou with me!" ”。
Feelings, this Kong Rong is not a good bird, he has to pull Liu Bei into the water, and Kong Rong's remarks, Liu Bei has no reason to refuse, so he can only reluctantly respond to the matter, and said, "In this case, Lord Kong Rong will go to Xuzhou first, go to Gongsun Zhan to borrow troops, and then come!" ”。
Kong Rong took Liu Bei's hand and said, "Don't lose your trust!" ”。
Liu Bei's face was embarrassed, "Master Kong Rong thinks that Liu Bei is who, the eldest husband has no faith and does not stand, Liu Bei borrowed a military horse or can't borrow a military horse, he must rush to Xuzhou!" In fact, Liu Bei didn't want to mix with this troubled water, but he couldn't stand Kong Rong's ink, and Liu Bei, who had a keen political sense, noticed that this Xuzhou would inevitably be profitable, so he happily went to it, and he also had to hold the shelf appropriately and not move lightly.
Liu Bei went to Gongsun Zhan to borrow troops, and Kong Rong also ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses to go to Xuzhou, but asked Mi Zhu to go back to Xuzhou first to report to Tao Qian.
Originally, this Kong Rong saw Tai Shi Ci's ability and intended to take him in, but he didn't want this Tai Shi Ci to say, "Ziyi came to help on the orders of his mother to keep Beihai safe, but he repaid the kindness of the king, but he didn't dare to stay here for a long time, a few days ago, there was a Yangzhou assassin Liu Xiang wrote a letter to call Tai Shi Ci to return, thinking of his friendship, he didn't dare to shirk it, and he should go quickly!" ”。
Tai Shi Ci's words were convincing, although Kong Rong loved his talent, but he couldn't keep it, so he could only send Tai Shi Ci back, this Tai Shi Ci went out of the North Sea border, turned south, and went to Yangzhou.
This Liu Bei rushed to Gongsun Zhan's place and threatened to ask his brother to borrow troops, Gongsun Zhan knew that Liu Bei was going to save Xuzhou, so he asked, "You have no grudge against that Cao Cao, and you have no kindness with that Tao Qian, why did you make a move?" ”。
Liu Bei didn't say his true thoughts, but just said, "I have promised to go, and I don't dare to break my promise!" ”。
Zhang Fei, who was next to Liu Beizhi, shouted, "You guy, you are stingy, you just came to borrow some soldiers and horses from you, do you want to inquire about the that the Sprinkle family pulled last night?" ”。
Liu Bei blamed Zhang Fei for being unreasonable, but Gongsun Zhan didn't care, and this reckless man didn't refute his face, "Since my brother wants to save Xuzhou, I will borrow 5,000 men and horses from my brother!" ”。
Liu Bei originally had 5,000 men, and Gongsun Zhan borrowed another 5,000, just to make up 10,000, and drove to Xuzhou.
However, he said that Mi Zhu reported to Tao Qian, saying that it was Beihai Kong Rong who came to the rescue, and invited Liu Xuande from Pingyuan County to send troops; At this moment, Chen Deng also rushed back from Qingzhou, saying that Tian Kai also led troops to rescue.
At that time, Tao Qian was at ease, thinking that Xuzhou was rescued, but he didn't want this Kong Rong and Tian Kai to be afraid of Cao Cao's mighty troops, far away from Xuzhou, and did not dare to enter lightly, and Cao Cao learned that the two military horses were coming, and he was suspicious, and he also divided the army into several teams, and did not dare to attack the city.
At this time, Liu Bei Liu Xuande led 10,000 troops, came to Xuzhou, saw Kong Rong's team, far away from Cao Cao, and asked Kong Rong what he meant, Kong Rong said, "Cao Cao's soldiers are powerful, and his people are good at using soldiers, not to fight lightly, I am afraid that there will be a loss, now the plan, it is advisable to wait and see the movement of Cao Jun, and then you can enter the army!" ”。
Since Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, he must be fishing here, if he fights with Cao Cao outside the city, Liu Bei will not be able to ask for any benefits at all, and this Kong Rong plan is obviously the method of shrinking, Liu Bei of course did not agree, so he said, "I am afraid that there is no food in Xuzhou City, it will be difficult to last, I will send my second brother Guan Yu Guan Yun to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to assist the prince to feint to attack Cao Cao, and I will lead the third brother Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide through the encirclement of Cao's army, sneak into the city, and then make plans, how?" ”。
Kong Rong promised, converging Tian Kai's soldiers, and Guan Yu, forming a horn momentum with each other, and Guan Yu galloped with a green dragon glaive knife, and the two sides responded.
Kong Rong's troops went out first and attacked the left flank of Cao Cao's army, and one of Cao's troops came out; Tian Kai's troops came out and attacked the right flank of Cao Cao's army, and there was also a team in Cao's army to greet him, and Liu Bei saw the opportunity, so he sent Zhang Fei in front, leading three thousand men and horses, and went straight to Cao's army Dazhai. Isn't it a search for death? ”。
Zhang Fei saw that there was a person blocking the way in front of him, and he squeaked in his mouth, but he didn't reply, and played with a snake spear with both hands, like a wind and clouds, and it was forbidden.
Zhang Fei and Yu Ban intersected with two horses, weapons collided, fighting less than ten rounds, Liu Bei standing behind Zhang Fei couldn't sit still, galloping horses and dancing swords also came to help, Yu Ban saw that the reckless man in front of him was unstoppable, and there was a helper behind him, where was he willing to fight again, sold a flaw, then turned back, Zhang Fei wanted to chase, but was stopped by Liu Bei, "The first task is to enter the city!" ”。
At that time, Zhang Fei did not chase Yu Ban, but protected Liu Bei and slashed directly to the city of Xuzhou.
Mi Zhu on the city of Xuzhou saw that there was a banner under the city, which was the book "Liu Xuande of the Plains", and he saw a person with a wide face and long ears, and a reckless man beside him, so he knew that Liu Bei was really coming, so he let people open the city gate and welcome Liu Bei into the city.
Mi Zhu ordered someone to open the city gate, and on the other hand, he reported to Tao Qian, saying that Liu Bei from the plain came to help.
At that time, Tao Qian was overjoyed when he heard the news, and personally rushed to welcome Liu Bei into the city, invited him to the palace, asked about everything outside the city, and then feasted and drank to entertain Liu Bei.
Liu Bei did not refuse, and said to Tao Qian at the banquet, "Don't worry, my lord, Cao Cao came to attack Xuzhou, although the momentum is huge, but after all, it is an unrighteous soldier, and with Beihai Kong Rong and Qingzhou Tian Kai to rescue, Xuzhou will be safe!" ”。
Tao Qian heard this, mixed joy, "A certain old and powerless, I wanted to be good to Cao Cao, but I didn't want to cause such a big disaster to the people of Xuzhou, a certain dereliction of duty!" This Tao Qian asked Liu Bei about his life experience, and Liu Beiyan said, "After King Jing of Zhongshan, he now lives in Pingyuan County!" ”。
Tao Qian saw that this Liu Bei was arrogant and open-minded, so he smiled, Liu Bei noticed it, and said, "Although a certain is a royal family, but the Han family is in decline, and a certain can only temporarily live in a county, I hate to revive the dynasty, but it makes adults laugh!" ”。
Tao Qian heard this, but smiled even more, and said, "I think Xuande is not very human, since Dong Zhuo's chaos, the Han family is full of holes, and the old man is powerless, but the king can do it, but there is no state for the king to display his ambitions, a certain Tao Qian is willing to let Xian and hand over the land of Xuzhou to the envoy!" ", and then asked people to take out the official seal of Xuzhou and hand it over to Liu Bei.
Political acumen made Liu Bei smell a little smell, so he ran to Xuzhou, I didn't expect that there was really a big pie waiting for Liu Bei here, but Liu Bei did not take the Xuzhou seal handed over by Tao Qian, but excused himself, "Liu Bei He De How can he be, An dares to take Xuzhou, if outsiders say this, it is not that I Liu Bei came to Xuzhou for the sake of Xuzhou, so I dare not take it!" ”。
Tao Qian saw Liu Bei's decision, and concluded that this person's character was better and more in line with his mind, so he said, "This time the world is in turmoil, the emperor is trapped in Chang'an, Cao Cao is a eunuch, and he also dares to add soldiers to the princes, it can be seen that the people's hearts are not ancient, and they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so as to sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, the old man is already sixty years old this year, although he has the heart to correct the world, but he is old and incompetent, this is the time to make the king act, the old man is willing to give up Xuzhou, please do not shirk, Tao Qian should write his own text, play the court, and ask for a Xuzhou pastor for the king!" ”。
On the banquet, Liu Bei accompanied Tao Qian, and sat down to be the civil and military ministers of Xuzhou, except for a black man Zhang Fei, everyone heard that Tao Qian wanted to let Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and they all had doubts on their faces. ”。
Tao Qian looked at him, it was Cao Bao, the captain of the city, Liu Bei listened to Cao Bao's words sincerely, "This general is right, a certain person came from afar, how can the state and county trust each other, adults are child's play, don't take it seriously!" ”。
Zhang Fei was eating wine and meat, and suddenly heard that there was a man on the opposite table who was obstructing his brother's good deeds, so he was furious, stood up, and said sharply, "Which bastard are you to interfere in the affairs of your family and beg for a beating?" ”。
The atmosphere was quite strange for a while, Liu Bei originally wanted to excuse himself, of course he didn't really excuse himself, but now Cao Bao's words have made Liu Bei speechless, it seems that there is still suspense in this matter!
Liu Bei angrily shouted that Zhang Fei was unreasonable, Tao Qian also reprimanded Cao Bao for his nonsense, and another person stood up between the banquets and said, "Now that Cao Cao's soldiers are in the city, it is better to think about the strategy of retreating from the enemy, and after the matter is settled, it is not too late for the Lord to discuss the affairs of the state and county with the envoy!" ”。
The person who spoke, Liu Bei, knew the person he saw in Beihai County, Mizhu of Xuzhou, and Liu Bei also said, "This is very true, it is important to retreat from the enemy Cao Cao!" ”。
Tao Qian saw that Liu Bei was so resolute, so he didn't mention the matter, and only said that he was drinking with Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei was punished by Liu Bei to stand behind him, and he couldn't drink alcohol and wasn't allowed to eat meat!
