Liu Bei was lucky this time, originally the main force of the Cao army was stationed in the north of Xuzhou, but because the two support armies of Kong Rong and Tian Kai arrived at the battlefield and set up a large camp thirty miles north of Xuzhou, Cao Ying, who was attacked by the enemy on his back, had to divide his troops to guard against it, and relaxed his precautions in other directions.

On the one hand, it is prepared, there are famous generals and fierce generals to open the way, on the other hand, it is not well prepared, caught off guard, the result of this small battle can be imagined, after more than half an hour, Liu Beijun successfully broke through the Cao army's blockade, the whole army was killed under the city of Xuzhou, and the Xuzhou army that went out of the city to meet the Xuzhou army, the Cao army general who was in charge of the battlefield at the east gate of Xuzhou was forbidden to lose face, not only did not stop Liu Bei, but also was beheaded by Liu Jun's array of more than 500 people, and went to Cao Ying to ask for guilt with a disgraced face.

When Liu Jun entered the city and stationed, the whole city of Xuzhou was a sensation, Tao Qian personally led the civil and military officials to the city gate to greet him, and paid tribute to Liu Bei, Tao Ying had no official position, and could not come to the front of Liu Bei to salute and greet him, but just crowded in the crowd, and the military and civilian people of Xuzhou watched the famous Liu Bei Uncle Liu Huang to observe whether he was worthy of his own refuge, and his thoughts were complicated.

Like the legend, Liu Bei, who is dressed in armor, is indeed born with an extraordinary appearance, in his thirties, his face is like a crown of jade, his lips are greased, although his earlobes are not as big as the legendary double earlobes and shoulders, but they are far beyond ordinary people, and there is a kind smile on the corner of his mouth at any time, giving people a feeling of easy approach, and at the same time he is dignified and has an extraordinary temperament, and makes people feel that he cannot be offended, and he can't help but have a heart of admiration, and he is born with a leadership style.

Tao Ying saw a red-faced general who stood out from the crowd, with a long beard and three feet, a green robe and a green crown, holding a green dragon glaive iron broadsword, and his every move was majestic - green grass, watermelon skin, Guan Lao's hat Post and Telecommunications Bureau, who is this, I don't need to introduce it.

Leopard head ringed eyes, swallow jaw tiger whiskers, holding two people high snake spear in his hand, this is of course Zhang Fei Zhang Yide, this time Liu Jun entered the city, he always rushed to the front of the team, the blade Cao soldiers will be innumerable, the first to break through the Cao soldiers, after entering the city, naturally by all the Xuzhou soldiers and people of gratitude and respect.

White horse and silver gun, eyes like stars, handsome as a twenty-eight virgin, this handsome guy's name doesn't need to be guessed, who else can there be besides Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong? As a cloud fan, Tao Ying certainly hopes that he can gain his loyalty, but unfortunately, Zhao Yun is not only Gongsun Zhan's subordinate now, but also has a deep relationship with Liu Bei, and Tao Ying, who is very self-aware of his charm, has no choice but to die.

However, Chen Zhi is as mysterious as in history, Tao Ying has been looking in the crowd for a long time and has not found the slightest clue about him, maybe because he has not joined Liu Bei's team, or maybe because he is not amazing, the old man Luo Guanzhong is too lazy to write him into "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but it doesn't matter much to Tao Ying, anyway, after a while, the cheap dad will definitely invite Liu Bei and his henchmen to the palace for a banquet, and Tao should have the opportunity to meet at that time.

Sure enough, after holding Liu Bei's hand and talking for a long time, the cheap father Tao Qian really proposed to invite Liu Bei to the government for a banquet, Liu Bei did not shirk too much, first inquired about whether the Xuzhou army and people had run out of food, and after receiving a positive answer, he quickly nodded and agreed, and rushed to Tao Qian's mansion surrounded by a large group of Xuzhou civil and military officials such as Mi Zhu, Mi Fang brothers and Chen Qi, Chen Deng and his son. The city defense was temporarily handed over to Cao Bao and Cao Hong and other military generals.

A large group of people entered the state pastoral mansion, the Tao family has already put the banquet on the table, Cao soldiers besieged the city for two months, relying on the wealth of Xuzhou, although the city has not run out of food, but it is impossible to put on the delicacies of the mountains and seas again, can only put some pigs, sheep and meat dishes as much as possible, Tao Qian, who is surnamed Gwen Houchun Du, is extremely ashamed, and apologizes to Liu Bei repeatedly, but Liu Bei obviously did not take these little things to heart, repeatedly modest, and repeatedly grateful Tao Qian for his kindness, thinking that Tao Qian can put such a banquet to entertain himself when the enemy army is besieging the city, it is already too gracious, He is a humble person, and he is really flattered to be so loved by Xuzhou Mu Taogong.

Liu Bei's humility naturally won the applause of the house, every day in Xuzhou City to promote Liu Xuande's name and love of Mi Zhu, Mi Fang brothers are even more flattering, no mouth to praise Xuande Gong's high wind and bright festival, Tao Qian is also very happy, first invited Liu Bei and his party to sit down, and Liu Bei and others for a long time, until Zhang Fei couldn't wait to pick up the wine jug and pour wine was scolded by Liu Bei, Tao Qian finally remembered his two sons, beckoned to the pottery merchant and Tao Ying, and ordered: "Mingwen, Mingwu, come over to your Uncle Liu to see the gift." ”

"No." The eldest brother potter respectfully agreed, and quickly pulled his younger brother Tao Ying up, pulled him in front of Liu Bei, hugged his fists and bowed, and took the lead in saying: "Little nephew potter, I have seen my uncle." ”

"Little nephew Tao Ying, I've seen my uncle." Tao Ying learned to salute his eldest brother, but he was scolded by Tao Qian, "Kneel, Xuande Gong is the benefactor of the people of Xuzhou, and he is also your benefactor, make a big salute." ”

"No." The potter agreed again, and he knelt down when he brushed his robe.

"Two virtuous nephews, don't be polite." Liu Bei hurriedly got up, holding the potter with his left hand, and Tao Ying with his right hand, but Tao Ying didn't move at all, Liu Bei's right hand was empty, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared, but Tao Ying and Liu Bei stood very close, so Liu Bei's little action did not escape Tao Ying's young and bright eyes.

"Xuande Gong, they are all old and unscrupulous dogs." Tao Qian coughed and introduced his son: "The eldest son is a famous businessman, the word is clear, the second son is named Ying, and the word is clear, they are all mediocre and useless people, and they are not worthy of the big responsibility, and I hope that Xuande Gong will take care of them more." ”

"Tao Gong is modest, the two sons are both talents, heroes, he is not a thing in the pool." Liu Bei's kind words were very sincere, as if they were the truth.

"Xuande Gong has won the award, and he has won the award." Tao Qian sighed from the bottom of his heart, Tao Qian was heartbroken for these two wasted sons.

"Three generals, what my father treats you today is the most famous wine in Xuzhou, which is called a bottle of incense." Tao Ying suddenly spoke, turned to Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "It's still an old wine that has been cellared for many years, and the three generals must drink more." ”

"Really?" Zhang Fei didn't think much about it, raised his hand and slapped open the sealing mud of the wine jar, and did not pour it into the wine bowl, he poured a few big mouthfuls while holding the wine jar, and when he put down the wine jar again, Zhang Fei was already full of joy, laughed and said: "Sure enough, it is good wine, rare good wine!" Thank you, Envoy Tao! ”

Tao Qian hurriedly humbled himself, and Tao Ying said: "If the third general likes it, there are still many such good wines in the little nephew's house, and the little nephew will ask his father to send someone to send ten more jars to the third general." ”

"Hahahaha......, good, good, thank you, thank you." Zhang Fei laughed heartily, "You're Tao Gongzi, right?" My old Zhang remembers you! ”

Tao Ying smiled slightly, bowed his hand, retreated to his brother Tao Shang's side, and when he peeked at Liu Bei's expression from the corner of his eye, he saw that Liu Bei really showed a look of surprise, and he glanced at the Mizhu brothers next to him, and the Mizhu brothers were also very surprised, and looked at Tao Ying's eyes full of doubts. Seeing this scene, Tao Ying, who had been in the officialdom for several years, suddenly knew in his heart, "Liu Bei must have known about Tao Ying's situation before." ”

After this quiet episode, the banquet soon began officially under Tao Qian's repeated invitations, during the banquet, the guests and hosts talked very happily, Liu Bei's lofty and open-minded words also left a deep impression on everyone present, and Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers also desperately praised Liu Bei's rescue work, which drove a lot of wall grass to echo the voice, and completely turned Liu Bei into the protagonist of the banquet, and also made Liu Bei seem to be the real master of Xuzhou.

The one who should come is always coming, at the end of the banquet, Tao Qian suddenly ordered someone to take out his token and seal, and took it in his hand, seeing Tao Qian so act, the people present naturally looked at each other, I don't know what Tao Qian suddenly took out the card seal representing the supreme ruling power of the five counties of Xuzhou for, only Tao Ying, who was sitting at the end, had a heartbeat, and understood that his cheap father finally made up his mind and was ready to give up the territory.

Through the understanding of the place in the past few days, Tao Ying finally understood why the cheap father Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei, thanks to the blessing of Cao Song's father, Cao Jun, who was red-eyed by hatred, slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, and the northwest area was empty, and the five counties of Xuzhou In addition to Guangling, Langya, Donghai, Xiapi, and Pengcheng were all patronized by Cao Jun, and were killed by Cao Jun to the point of blood, and his vitality was greatly injured, and his overall strength was completely weakened.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, at this time, Tao Qian's fellow countryman Pi Xiangrong raised troops to rebel, led the army into Guangling under the pretext of avoiding Cao Bing, attacked and killed Guangling Taishou Zhao Yu during the banquet, and the arson robbed the entire territory of Guangling, Guangling was empty, Tao Qian's painstaking management of the five counties of Xuzhou collapsed together, several years of hard work, all for the ruins, the Xuzhou paradise in the troubled times, also suddenly turned into a Shura slaughterhouse.

In terms of the army, in the battle of Surabaya, the main force of the Xuzhou army was annihilated, completely annihilated by the Cao army, the corpse was thrown into the river, Surabaya was not flowing, and there were less than 7,000 soldiers and horses left in Xuzhou, and they were forced to retreat to Pengcheng to survive.

Internal and external troubles broke out together, and before it was confirmed that Kong Rong, Tian Kai and Liu Bei had sent troops to rescue, the helpless Tao Qian was almost ready to flee back to his hometown in Danyang - if Mi Zhu hadn't brought the accurate news of the arrival of the rescue soldiers back to Xuzhou, Tao Qian would have done so.

It is likely that it is precisely because of this that after Liu Bei rescued the troops into the city, Tao Qian, who had seen Liu Bei's martial talents, made up his mind to give up the post of Xuzhou Assassin to Liu Bei! - Although Tao Ying thinks this reason is far-fetched.

In front of everyone's eyes, Tao Qian left the table with the seal in his hand, walked in front of Liu Bei, and bowed deeply to Liu Bei with the seal, Liu Bei was taken aback, hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and asked suspiciously: "Why did Tao Envoy Jun make this big gift?" If you have any commandments, you will be taught. ”

"Sure enough, it came." Tao Ying's heart jumped again, knowing what the cheap dad wanted to say next, and at this time, a crazy thought suddenly flashed through Tao Ying's mind, Tao Ying didn't think much about it, he also left the table, and shouted: "Uncle Liu!" ”

Tao Ying's cry was like an earth-shattering shock, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention to him, including Tao Qian, who retracted the words that came to his lips, and turned his gaze to his second son, his cloudy old eyes were full of surprise.

"Uncle Liu." Tao Ying shouted again, strode to Tao Qian's side, knelt down on Liu Bei's knees, clasped his fists, stared at Liu Bei with enthusiastic eyes, and said loudly: "Uncle, there is a big chaos today, the dynasty is sluggish, and my uncle is a relative of the Han family, and he is just contributing to support Sheji." My father is old and sick, my little nephew is weak and incompetent, and he is shallow in virtue and talent, so he is willing to give up the five counties of Xuzhou to his uncle, and I hope that my uncle will not shirk! ”

"Ahh Countless people screamed, looking at Tao Ying with incredible faces, Tao Qian was even more dumbfounded, saying that he didn't expect that his stupid son would be able to guess his intentions and say what he wanted to say for himself.

"The first key to officialdom is to observe words and looks, and figure out what you want! I know what Tao Qian is thinking in his heart, Liu Bei, what you are thinking in your heart, I have to observe it carefully. Tao Ying's expression was full of enthusiasm and expectation, and his eyes were staring at Liu Bei's face tightly, not letting go of any clues............
