"No!" Xun You, as a military advisor with the army, couldn't watch Cao Ying give the wrong order, he stood up and said: "Lord, Xuzhou can't be defeated, we can continue to fight in the future!" If Yanzhou is lost, we will be homeless! ”

"This—" Cao Ying's anger subsided slightly, and he frowned, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, Cao Ying asked, "If we do our best to capture Xuzhou and then return, do you think we can do it?" ”

Xun You shook his head and said, "Lord, how long will it take for us to capture Xuzhou?" In case Xuzhou can't be captured and Yanzhou is lost, what should I do? We can't afford to lose, and we can't lose! ”

"Damn Liu Bei, damn Lu Bu!" Cao Ying smashed his fist on the handsome case and said, "Gongda, what do you say we should do?" ”

Xun You stroked his short beard under his chin and said, "You might as well sell a favor to Liu Bei!" It's good that Liu Bei despises us and others, and it will be much easier to attack Xuzhou in the future! ”

"Good!" Cao Ying gritted his teeth and said: "Yuan Rang, let the corporal pack his bags and prepare to withdraw the army, Gongda, and entertain the messenger!" ”

"Yes!" With a strong unwillingness, Xiahoudun took Yu Ban and others down to collect the troops, but Xun You reluctantly entertained Liu Bei to envoy.

When the envoy returned to the city, when he talked about what happened to Cao Ying, it could be described as a twist and turn. Although everyone didn't understand, Cao Ying had withdrawn his troops after all!

"Xuande Gong, thanks to you!" Tao Qian held Liu Bei's hands, tears rained down, while the others looked at Liu Bei with a strange expression, as for Liu Bei, he was also a little inexplicable! However, Liu Bei quickly reacted.

"Tao Envoy Jun, this is not my credit, but the moral victory over Cao Ying!" Holding Tao Qian's hands, Liu Bei's face was full of righteousness, as if he had found an organization.

Tao Qian once again ordered someone to take out Xuzhou's civil registration atlas and soldier talisman seal and hand it to Liu Beidao: "Xuande Gong, you save the people of Xuzhou from fire and water, don't shirk this time!" ”

"No!" Liu Bei Zhengse said: "I once said that I came here with great righteousness, if I take this thing, won't it make the world misunderstand me?" Tao Yuanjun, I understand your kindness! ”

"This..."Tao Qian looked at Chen Qi, hoping that he would come out and say something.

"Ahem..."Chen Jue coughed twice and said: "Tao Fujun, what Xuande Gong said is very true!" Do you want to trap him in injustice? I remember that there is a small city next to Xuzhou City, called Xiaopei. The prince of the mansion can let Xuande Gong live here temporarily, in order to help each other, I don't know what the two of them think? ”

"This..."Liu Bei hesitated, he was still a little reluctant to plain. You must know that Liu Bei has been in the plains for two years, and his prestige in the hearts of the people of the plains has reached a certain height, and if he leaves the plains, he will have to start anew.

"Xuande Gong rest assured, although Xiaopei is a small city, it is much larger than the plains, enough to feed your men!" Chen Jue thought that Liu Bei was worried about the lack of money and food!

"That being the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" Liu Bei was very heartbroken, but he still gritted his teeth and agreed. After all, as long as he stays in Xuzhou, he will have the opportunity to inherit Tao Qian's position. Don't you see, Tao Qian has already wanted to hand over Xuzhou to him twice?

"Good! Just let Mi Bei drive you! Seeing that Liu Bei was willing to stay, Tao Qian was naturally very happy, but some people were unhappy, such as pottery merchants and Tao Ying. However, no matter how unhappy the potter and Tao Ying were, they only dared to do things behind their backs, and they were against Liu Bei head-on, they didn't have the courage yet.

Three days later, at the gate of Xiaopei City, Tai Shici led the horse, carried a weapon on his back, and immediately put a bag of dry food. Obviously, Tai Shici, who had completed the task, was ready to leave Xiaopei and go to Liu Xuan. For such a general, how can Liu Bei be willing to let him go?

"Ziyi, can't you just not go?" Liu Bei took Tai Shici's hand and said reluctantly: "Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to stay, create a great cause with me, and help the Han family?" ”

"Xuande Gong, I want to stay too! But people can't stand without faith! It's just weird, we hate to see each other late! Fortunately, Liu Miao is also a relative of the Han family, and under his command, he can also support the Han family! After more than a month of getting along, Tai Shici has been conquered by Liu Bei's personality charm, but he still remembers the agreement with Liu Miao and refuses to break the contract.

"I..." Liu Bei hated the identity of the Han clan for the first time, he didn't know how to keep Tai Shici, so he could only hold Tai Shici's hand and refuse to let go for a long time.

"Xuande Gong!" Tai Shi Ci frowned, although he didn't want to leave, but Liu Bei was so obstructed, he was still a little unhappy. In Tai Shi Ci's heart, Liu Bei is perfect, and he doesn't want this perfection to break.

"Ziyi, take care!" Seeing Tai Shi Ci frowning, Liu Bei was suddenly shocked in his heart, and he easily opened Tai Shi Ci's hand, but tears slid down his cheeks.

"Xuande Gong..."Tai Shici was very moved when he saw this, if he wasn't worried about treachery, he really didn't want to leave. As a courtier, his greatest wish is to be used by the Lord. Now that Tai Shi Ci has met the Ming Lord, but he wants to give up for a promise, how can he feel good in his heart?

"Ziyi, go! I'm afraid I'll be reluctant to let you go..."Liu Bei turned around, he couldn't stop crying.

"Xuande Gong, accept my worship!" knelt on the ground and knocked his head three times, Tai Shici, an iron man, even shed tears.

"Huh? General Taishi, Xuande Gong, what are you doing? General Taishi is going to go far away? A voice sounded, and Tai Shici and Liu Bei hurriedly wiped their tears.

"I've seen Mr. Chen!" It turned out that the person who came was Chen Deng, who was ordered by Chen Qi to contact Liu Bei and see if Liu Bei was qualified to succeed him as the lord of Xuzhou. Of course, the main thing is to check Liu Bei's attitude towards the Guangling Chen family.

"Hey! What sir! Just call me Yuanlong! Chen Deng asked with a smile on his face: "General Taishi, which play did you and Xuande Gong play here?" ”

Liu Bei looked at Tai Shi Ci, and when he saw Tai Shi Ci nodding, he told Tai Shi Ci and Liu Mi the agreement. Chen Deng smiled when he heard this: "General Taishi, you don't have to go to Liu Xuan!" ”

"Why is that?" Tai Shi Ci's eyes widened, and Liu Bei also looked incredulous.

Chen Deng smiled and asked, "May I ask General Taishi, how can you go to a dead man?" Suicide? ”

"Dead people? Liu Miao is dead? How did he die? Tai Shici's face was full of surprise, but Liu Bei was ecstatic.

Of course, Liu Bei quickly put away the joy on his face, but instead showed a heavy face, but there was still a trace of smile in his eyes. It's a pity that although Liu Bei covered it up very well, even Tai Shici was deceived, but with Chen Deng's wisdom, how could he not see the ecstasy that flashed on Liu Bei's face? However, Chen Deng did not point it out. In troubled times, only heroes are worthy of refuge. Undoubtedly, Liu Bei is a hero!

"General Taishi, don't worry, go to the city to guard the mansion, and I'll tell you slowly!" Looking at Liu Bei with a sad face, Chen Deng secretly said in his heart: "Since you are a hero, I will help you!" ”

When they came to the City Guard Mansion, Liu Bei and the three of them sat down as guests and hosts, and Tai Shici couldn't wait to ask: "Yuanlong, can you tell me, how did Lord Liu Jian die?" ”

Chen Deng said with a smile: "Sun Jian and Yuan Shu attacked Jingzhou and couldn't hold on to Liu Biao, but Yuan Shu refused to replenish Sun Jian's army on the grounds that Sun Jian had no results. In desperation, Sun Jian ordered his eldest son Sun Ce to conquer Jiangdong. As a pastor of Yangzhou, Lord Liu naturally had an unshirkable responsibility, but was broken by Sun Ce. It is said that he has been killed by Sun Ce! ”

"This..."Tai Shici's eyes were closed, his hands were clenched, and his heart was very struggling. On the one hand, he wanted to stay and assist Liu Bei, but on the other hand, he was worried that Chen Deng would deceive him.

Seeing Tai Shici's inner struggle, Liu Bei laughed softly: "Ziyi, whether Liu Miao is dead or not, you don't know where he is, so naturally you can't go to him." It's better to stay for now. If you find out about Liu Xuan's whereabouts, you will go to him. If Liu Miao is really dead, how about you stay and help me? ”

"Xuande Gong... I..."Looking at Liu Bei's indifferent expression, Tai Shici's heart trembled. The longer you spend with Liu Bei, the easier it is to be infected by his personality charm, especially an assertive and ideal general like Tai Shici.

After some struggle, Tai Shi Ci decided to stay in Xiao Pei, after all, Tai Shi Ci and Liu Xiang were not the relationship between Liu Guanzhang in history, and he didn't need to die for Liu Xuan. However, Tai Shici hoped that Liu Bei would promise that once he knew Liu Xuan's whereabouts, he would go to defect.

As long as Tai Shici can stay, what else does Liu Bei have to say? After agreeing to Tai Shi Ci's request, Liu Bei invited his subordinates to come and set up a banquet for Tai Shi Ci to receive the wind. Hearing that Tai Shi Ci was not leaving, Liu Bei's two brothers were also very happy, after all, Tai Shi Ci was a tiger general with extraordinary ability.

Handed over Tai Shici to the two brothers to pour wine, Liu Bei and Chen Deng came to the study.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Liu Bei entered the study and bowed to the end.

"Oh? What did Xuande Gong thank me for? Chen Deng smiled: "If it is General Taishi, then there is no need!" In the next day, I just told Liu Xuan's news truthfully! ”

"So, Liu Miao is really dead?" Liu Bei's eyes widened and he looked happy. Although he had already cultivated a faceless of joy and anger, he was still happy about Liu Xuan's death.

"I don't know!" Chen Deng smiled: "What does it matter if you are dead or not?" Now that General Taishi has stayed, even if Liu Miao is not dead, what ability does he have to recruit General Taishi? ”

"This..."Liu Bei shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid that the agreement between General Taishi and him is his biggest capital!" ”

"That's easy, too!" Chen Deng said with a smile: "As long as Liu Xuan dies completely, he can break General Taishi's thoughts!" ”

"It's not good! After all, Liu Miao is also a member of the Han family, so if you don't help him, how can you still harm him? Liu Bei really wanted to kill Liu Xuan, but Chen Deng was not his own person after all, so he didn't dare to confide in him.

"Xuande Gong Rende!" Chen Deng said with a smile: "Then it's up to my Chen family to inquire about Liu Xuandegong's life and death, okay?" ”

"Yuanlong is willing to help me?" As the saying goes: Nothing to be courteous or stealing! Liu Bei looked at Chen Deng, his eyes full of suspicion.

Chen Deng smiled lightly and said: "My Chen family lives in Guangling and is under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou Mu, how can I be an enemy of the State Mu? ”
