"Liu Yuanjun!" Mi Zhu, Chen Deng and Zhao Yu saluted together after entering the door, and Liu Bei also hurriedly replied. After the two sides greeted each other, they sat down with the host and the guest. Liu Bei sat on the main seat, Mi Zhu and the other three sat in the guest seat, Guan Zhang, Zhao Feng, and Guan Hai accompanied the prime minister.

"I don't know why the three of them came to visit at night?" After a few polite words, Liu Bei asked directly. In fact, Zhao Feng felt that Liu Bei's words were somewhat knowingly asked, but there were some scenes that still had to be explained.

"The king is really quick to talk, so we will not be vain. Liu Yuanjun, the three of us have already discussed, and we all feel that this Xuzhou assassin history is really not a gentleman. Mi Zhu looked at the two people who came together, and said after getting their approval.

"The three of them are serious, they are lowly and virtuous, and now they are afraid that they are incompetent in the plains, how dare they get involved in Xuzhou? This rescue of Xuzhou is just for carelessness, how dare you have other intentions? When the public said this, could it be that Liu Bei had the intention of annexation? If you think of this, the emperor will not bless you. Liu Bei said with a straight face. Zhao Feng inevitably despised Lao Liu for pretending to be a little at this time, but after thinking about it, maybe Liu Bei didn't expect Tao Qian to be so generous, and he would directly give Xuzhou to him. God, this is a big state with a population of 2 million, and it is really surprising that this old man can have such courage.

Next, Chen Deng and the other three naturally took turns to persuade them, but Liu Bei just refused to let go, so anxious that Zhang Fei scratched his ears and cheeks, and Zhao Feng was secretly amused. However, to Zhao Feng's surprise, Liu Bei proposed that they go to Huainan Yuan Shu, but Chen Deng pointed out that Yuan Shu was "dry bones in the grave". Zhao Feng remembered that Cao Ying once said when he was cooking wine and talking about heroes in history, it seems that the notoriety of Yuan Highway has been widely spread at this time, but it is not created exclusively by Cao Ying.

In the end, Chen Deng saw that Liu Bei refused to let go at this time, so he had to say: "Since the envoy is so benevolent and righteous, then we must not force the monarch to be the unrighteous person." However, now in Xuzhou City, the four wealthy families, if we don't save the king, this time they have turned into ghosts under the knife. It is said that if the queen is sent, he will serve as a dead force. ”

"The three of them are serious." Liu Bei also returned the salute. Zhao Feng was moved in his heart and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Yuanlong, what is the four major families in Xuzhou?" ”

"It turned out to be General Zhao." Chen Deng also smiled and said: "The four major families in Xuzhou are the Mi family who run shops, the Zhao family in the East China Sea, the Chen family where Bucai is located, and the Cao family in the army. ”

"I see." Zhao Feng's heart suddenly brightened, this Mi family, the Zhao family and the Chen family, they all have their own sources of interests. If Liu Bei enters Xuzhou, then their family's income will not only not be affected, but will be increased by a more stable objective environment. Only this Cao family holds the military power of Xuzhou, and once Liu Bei and other outsiders arrive, it will inevitably affect his interests, so he will oppose it.

Unexpectedly, there are so many intricate families in just one Xuzhou City, and these four families almost control the lifeblood of Xuzhou City. Zhao Feng knew a lot about history in his previous life, but if he really wanted to really see the power of the family, he couldn't help but be shocked. However, it seems that Xuzhou is not the most exaggerated, think about the Wu County in Eastern Wu, there are the four families of Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang, just a big place, and they have to be divided so finely, Zhao Feng estimates that if he is Sun Quan, he will feel pain in the face of such a complex group of subordinates.

Wait, Lu family? Zhao Feng suddenly remembered that Lu Kang, the previous patriarch of the Lu family, had just been killed by Sun Ce in Lujiang City last year, and the current patriarch should be that Lu Xun. This kid shouldn't have been reused yet, so why don't you take the opportunity to dig him up? Zhao Feng secretly calculated in his heart, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a little funny: Let's wait for Liu Bei to enter Xuzhou. Thinking of this, he looked up, but saw Chen Deng looking at him with a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart: This Chen Deng really has some doorways.

After Chen Deng finished speaking, everyone chatted a few more words and then said goodbye. After all, the enemy army has not retreated now, and everyone has to prepare more for tomorrow's battle. "Two virtuous brothers, Bo Tao Zhongfu, what do you think these three are doing today?" Liu Bei asked after the three of them left.

"Lord, as I expected, Tao Fujun knows that his life will not last long, and the two sons under his knees are not successful, so he wants to entrust Xuzhou to the lord. These three wanted to protect the interests of the family, and the other did not want Xuzhou to be ownerless, so they came to persuade the lord. Zhao Feng speculated.

"I guess that's the same." Liu Bei nodded. It's okay for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to go into battle to kill the enemy, this kind of analysis of the situation is not good, and they can only nod after listening to it. As for Guan Hai, uh, automatically ignore it.

"Since everyone in Xuzhou wants to entrust Xuzhou to the eldest brother, what are you polite to the eldest brother?" Zhang Fei was a little impatient when he thought of this. "The three generals are a little restless, in fact, although Tao Fujun and others want to entrust Xuzhou to the lord, but today's trip is not without temptation. If the lord is in a hurry, it will inevitably cause misunderstanding among those who have a heart. Zhao Feng continued to explain.

"Makes sense." Zhang Fei also nodded his head, but Liu Bei seemed to react at this time, turned his head to Zhao Feng and said, "Bo Tao, you also want me to enter Xuzhou?" ”

"That's nature, my lord, why don't you want Xuzhou, which was sent to the door for nothing?" Zhao Feng said with a smile, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Guan Hai all nodded again and again, expressing deep agreement.

"We have come to save others, but how can we covet the inheritance of others? If so, how am I different from that Cao? Liu Bei said hurriedly. Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhao Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes, he knew that Liu Bei was afraid of his reputation for "benevolence and righteousness" again. However, he was familiar with Liu Bei's surname, and he had already thought of a rhetoric: "Lord, Cao Ying is cruel and unkind, poisoning the people. But the lord saves people from danger, how can he generalize? And now that the life of the king of Tao Mansion is not long, if the lord does not take charge of Xuzhou after a hundred years, will the two million people not be poisoned by Cao Ye again? The lord is a relative of the Han family, and he has always taken Kuangfu Sheji as his own responsibility, and he should be the one to do at this time. ”

"Big brother, what Bo Tao said is true." After listening to Zhao Feng's words, Guan Yu also agreed again and again, and Zhao Feng couldn't help but be secretly proud, but he didn't expect that Second Master Guan, who was known for his arrogance in history, actually agreed with me more than once. After listening to the words of the two, Liu Bei closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "At present, Cao Bing has not retreated, so let's get past the current difficulties first." ”

"That's how it should be." Guan Yu and Zhao Feng also agreed, and then rested separately, preparing to recharge their energy to deal with the upcoming big battle tomorrow...... However, Zhao Feng knew that Cao Ying was about to withdraw his troops. Due to the influence of his butterfly effect, Liu Bei sent troops directly from Pingyuan County to Xuzhou to rescue this time, which should have arrived a few days earlier than in history, but it is estimated that it is not far away, and it is estimated that Cao Ying will soon retire.

Early the next morning, the sound of horns outside the city woke up Zhao Feng. Putting on the armor as fast as possible, Zhao Feng hurriedly rushed to the city with Liu Bei and them to prepare for defense. At this time, the Cao army under the city was already lined up and was calling the battle, there was no general in Xuzhou City before, and such a call was deaf, and the other party directly waited for the city to attack the city before starting to fight. But now that Liu Bei is here, hiding from being beaten is not his style, at least not the style of Liu Bei, who is not yet forty years old and relatively young and energetic.

Sure enough, Liu Bei said to Tao Qian: "Tao Fujun, I see that the Cao army is calling for a battle here, if you let Bei and the two brothers and their subordinates go down to face the battle, it will also improve the morale of the defenders." Liu Bei is also a battle-hardened person, and he knows that blindly shrinking will not be conducive to morale, so he decided to fight first.

"Xuande Gong, please." Tao Qian is indispensable, and now Liu Bei can be said to be his only life-saving straw. So Liu Bei ordered 2,000 men and horses in his headquarters and led everyone to open the city to meet the enemy.

"Huh?" In the battle of Cao's army, Cao Ying was about to order a direct attack on the city, and when he saw that the other party had come to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the battle, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but then he reacted that this should be Liu Bei who came out to fight. Cao Ying's eyes rolled, waiting for the other party to set up the formation, but he took the initiative to drive the horse from the Chinese army to the front of the formation, arched his hand towards Liu Bei on the opposite side and smiled: "Brother Xuande, it's been a long time." Since he asked Dong Zhuo for a hurry, he hasn't seen him for several years. ”
