"Xuzhou! Sleepy Dragon Shoal! From the first time he saw Mi Zhu sent by Xuzhou, and the first time he learned from Mi Zhu's mouth, he came up with this idea, this cage made of gold will make Liu Bei can't resist the temptation and willingly get into it;

Defeated and defeated, defeated again and again, Liu Bei has never gotten much, he was born from the grassroots, he is not the kind of rich and handsome, he will lose himself under the huge surprise, this kind of loss is terrible! It will make him lose his long-term thinking;

Tao Qian is dead, and Yu Wei is still alive. The Danyang soldiers are the elite soldiers brought out by Tao Qian, they will only obey Tao Qian's orders, and Tao Qian's last order is to surround Picheng, whoever dares to make a move... Kill!

The family lords in Xuzhou also do not have a decisive rebellious heart, because they have a strong self-confidence, this self-confidence is the accumulation of decades or even hundreds of years, no matter who rules Xuzhou, he will inevitably use them, so they are cold-eyed and expressionless to watch the change of power in Xuzhou, everything has nothing to do with them, the premise is - to ensure their interests;

So they all waited... Waiting for that person - Liu Bei!

……

……

"Uncle Liuhuang!" , Mi Zhu led more than a dozen small officials to the south of Qingzhou and the city of Beihai to meet Liu Bei;

Nominally speaking, Liu Bei is now also Yuan Shao's subordinate official, otherwise Tian Feng and Zhang Jaw and others would not let him live this small life here, of course, here the face of this great Confucian is also very influential, Beihai used to be his territory, and now that Yuan Shao is here, he still can't shake his supreme position, so this is still his territory;

Since it's his territory, he always doesn't need others to talk about entertaining people here, right?

Humble, benevolent, and respectful, the shining point on Liu Bei's body was like a light in the dark, blinding Kong Rong's twenty-four titanium alloy dog eyes, but the reason for this was nothing more than Liu Bei saving his life! In the case of Yuan Shao watching coldly and Tao Qian pretending to ignore it, Liu Bei's arrival at that time will undoubtedly make him remember it for life;

Liu Bei humbly returned the salute, stretched out his hand and signaled Mi Zhu to walk towards the city, and there were four generals lined up behind him, Second Brother Guan, Third Master Zhang, Fourth Uncle Zhao and Taishi... The Five Masters?

This Taishi Five Masters is Taishi Ziyi who broke through on a single horse, Liu Bei never gave up every opportunity to win over talents, and Taishi Ziyi had no reason to give up; What does it mean to get the moon first? Liu Miao is good to Tai Shici, but his mother's fate is difficult to disobey, although Liu Bei did not capture Tai Shici's heart, he captured Tai Shici's mother's heart;

With the old lady's words, Tai Shici didn't dare to disobey even if he had ten guts, just like that... He followed Liu Bei!

In addition to these four fierce generals in the world, there is also a "dumb gentleman" behind Liu Bei, who only listens and sees with his eyes and ears, rarely makes his own comments, and no one can read his true thoughts;

This is a person who is both respectable and terrifying, don't you see that Zhang Sanye, who has always been short-tempered, is being cleaned up?

Don't you see the arrogant and invincible Second Brother Guan respecting him?

When his eyes collided with him, Mi Zhu felt a chill in his heart, and he vaguely remembered the wolf he met on the grassland in the north when he went out to walk and trade! Fierce, cruel, shady... Just one look can make people feel cold all over their bodies;

It was as if it had penetrated his mind and warned him wordlessly...

After stabilizing his unsteady mind, Mi Zhu bloomed with a bright smile, because he knew that sometimes they were subordinates, and they could not stop the decision of a lord; A subordinate is a subordinate after all, and a subordinate is not the lord after all; Subordinates can't replace the lord, the lord is the last one to make a decision, not a subordinate...

There was already a communication, so Mi Zhu only used a few words to explain his intentions, he contacted Liu Bei before anyone in Xuzhou, unlike Tao Qian, it was just a toothless tiger who was dying and old and no longer there, and what he saw in Liu Bei was more than that, this is a dragon who wants to ride the clouds to the sky! It's just that there is no time for the storm to change...

Ambition, courage, and... Energetic, Mi Zhu was impressed by Liu Bei's charm, and finally prostrate at his feet, choosing to surrender, out of interests or something else, in short, he said something from the bottom of his heart, stated his interests, and welcomed Liu Bei into Xuzhou;

……

……

Under the huge surprise, Liu Bei smiled gently and calmly, entertained them, and was not in a hurry to give a reply, maintaining his usual calm style;

In fact, he didn't know how to choose; He expects his advisor to be his spiritual sustenance - "Mr. Dumb" gives him a reassuring pill and helps him make a choice;

Mr. Dumb had nothing to say, because he was "Mr. Dumb", so he held up the book and let Liu Bei read it!

Liu Bei is a well-understood guy, he is very skilled in all kinds of communication methods, although Mr. Dumb is silent and even smiles and encourages him, but under the surface, Liu Bei understands another meaning, that is, disagree!

Mr. Dumb did not agree to go to Xuzhou for development, he had already chosen a place for Liu Bei to make a fortune, Shuchuan or called Yizhou, with a vast territory, a large population, a solid livelihood, a large number of talents, and a dangerous geography, no matter from what point of view, where is the best place to make a fortune;

At the beginning, you can avoid the strong enemies around you, and when you develop, you can attack and retreat and defend... Liu Yan is dead, his two older sons have also hung up, and there is only one Liu Zhang left, how about Liu Zhang? Weak, incompetent, and not even a small one who has the talent to keep it, it seems that Xuzhou is more like a white pick-up, so why not Yizhou?

Compared with Shuchuan, Xuzhou's wealth is not inferior to him, the same wealth, the most important thing is that he is in front of him, it is a big pie falling from the sky, the vast majority of people will not hesitate to pick it up, only one in 100 million people will not pick it up, which does not include Liu Bei;

Seeing the benefits and not seeing the hidden crisis, Tao Qian had a bad relationship with his neighbor Cao Cao during his lifetime, and Mr. Cao Cao had also seen it, treacherous and cunning, of course! These aren't terrible! I'm not afraid that cultural people will play hooligans, I'm afraid that hooligans have culture, and Cao Cao still has immortal talents! At least... Liu Bei is not yet his opponent;

In the face of such a rich place as Xuzhou, an important place in the Central Plains, Cao Cao will not let it go! Sooner or later, he will come, judging from the current situation, Mr. Dumb is not optimistic about Liu Bei, he thinks that he must first avoid strong enemies, slowly develop and grow, and finally have the capital to compete for the world;

This is a strategic vision, but also a sense of crisis, this sense of crisis does not only come from Cao Cao in Yanzhou, but also from Yuan Shao, the well-deserved overlord in the northern land! Yuan Shu, the well-deserved overlord of the south of the Yangtze River!

Yuan Shao will go south sooner or later, this is a matter of time, the white horse general Gongsun Zan is brave and good at fighting, but he is always alone, and the strength of one person is not comparable to the strength of countless people under Yuan Shao; Once Yuan Shao goes south, the 500,000 troops are all belittling him, even so, what does Xuzhou compare with others?

Liu Bei is not Cao Cao, he has not yet had the consciousness to compete with Yuan Shao, and at that time, Xuzhou will just be a property to give away, not to mention the waste of time and energy, and it will dampen enthusiasm...

It seems that Yuan Shu was defeated very badly in the battle of Fengqiu, so much so that he became the object of ridicule among the princes of the Han Dynasty after a meal, and became a laughing stock that people took as a warning; In fact, as long as General "Hulai" and Ji Ling are here, no one can do anything about Yuan Shu!

There are no more areas around Nanyang County and Fengqiu, but Yuanshu still has the eastern part of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, and Jiangdong is just his subordinate territory, and the momentum is nothing more than that;

Yuan Shu has enough strength for the Northern Expedition, or to go to Jingzhou to find trouble with Liu Jingsheng, has Liu Bei thought about it?

This is Liu Bei's current situation, Mr. Dumb knows that the time is not right, and it is not good to discourage Liu Bei's enthusiasm now, so he chose to shut up; What he thinks about all the time is that he finally met a good lord who is worthy of his service, and he will do his best to plan for him in the long run...

Mr. Dumb did not object, nor did he agree, but wrote two words on the book: "Okay!" ”；

Liu Bei is a ** silk grassroots, and suddenly he has the opportunity to become rich and handsome, how can he give up? So he decided to take all his soldiers and horses, bid farewell to Kong Rong, and came to Xuzhou;

……

……

When Tao Qian's three sons prostrated at the feet of Liu Bei in front of the gate of Xiapi City, when all the civil and military forces in Xuzhou surrendered to Liu Bei's slender figure, and when all the people of Xuzhou shouted "Welcome Uncle Liu" like a tsunami, Mr. Dumb squinted his eyes and twitched a few times, looking at Mi Zhu indifferently;

Dangerous and cold, Mi Zhu smelled a thick danger, but he could only stiffen his face and smile, because this was Tao Qian's last plan, everyone knew it, he couldn't change anything, he could only silently feel the anger of Mr. Dumb;

Because he is also a smart man, how can a famous businessman be a fool? Tao Qian's three sons gave up Xuzhou, which belonged to them, in front of everyone, and in front of everyone, even if there was a conflict with Liu Bei in the future, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to kill them.

Not only that, Liu Bei also has to protect these three sons, no matter what happens to them in the future, if one of them dies... The blame will all fall on him!

This is an exchange, exchanging Xuzhou for their stable life;

This is a kind of bondage, which invisibly tied Liu Bei to Xuzhou, a seemingly stable and gorgeous chariot, but in fact it was already broken;

This is a threat, but Liu Bei has to accept the threat willingly, only by accepting this threat unconditionally, can he get what he wants unconditionally;

Tao Qian is not a good general, nor a good politician, or not a good person, but he is a good father after all, he took great pains for his son, and planned such a play with his own hands when he was dying, and finally everyone cooperated with the perfect performance;

Because he wants to get it, he has to pay, Liu Bei has not realized the problem inside, and at the same time, he is happy and sincerely frightened to help everyone up, and he said compliments repeatedly, very modest;

Seeing through the ultimate purpose of this conspiracy at a glance, Mr. Dumb stretched out his slender fingers and shook them a few times in front of Mi Zhu vaguely, with an indifferent expression, silently warning them;

Mi Zhu smiled bitterly, he was shot even if he was lying down, and Mr. Dumb meant to tell him, let him bring a message to let them, the old ministers of Xuzhou, be honest! Mi Zhu bowed respectfully and humbly expressed his meaning...

Seeing the unhurried figure of Mr. Dumb walking past Mi Zhu, who was bowing his waist, Zhang Fei was puzzled: "What does this mean?" Brother, tell me? ”

He asked the newcomer Tai Shi Ci, their relationship is very good, except for Liu Bei and Guan Yu, there are too many Shi Ci, as for Zhao Yun, Zhang Sanye thinks he is too handsome and is unwilling to be with him, compared to Tai Shi Ci, who is slightly worse than Zhao Yun, it meets his appetite;

Tai Shici shook his head uncertainly: "It should be Mr. Mi's back pain, right?" ”

Zhang Fei suddenly said: "I see? ”

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun: "..."

No matter how you look at it, there's something wrong here, right? How can it be that simple!
