At that time, Jiujiang was too guarded by the border, and Tao Qian had a good relationship, and when he heard that Xuzhou was in difficulty, he personally led 5,000 troops to the rescue. When Cao Cao heard this, he was furious and ordered Xiahoudun to intercept and kill him on the road.

Besides, where Cao Cao's army went, they killed people and dug graves.

Tao Qian was in Xuzhou, and when he heard that Cao Cao raised troops to take revenge and kill the people, he cried bitterly and said, "Have I offended God? As a result, the people of Xuzhou suffered from this catastrophe! ”

Urgently gather the officials to deliberate. Cao Bao said: "Cao Bing has arrived, how can he wait for death!" I'm willing to help you defeat them. ”

Tao Qian had to lead the troops out of the city to greet him, and from a distance, Cao Cao's army looked like frost and snow, and the Chinese army erected two white flags, and the words revenge and hatred were written in large characters.

The army formed a formation, and Cao manipulated his horse out of the formation, dressed in white, and scolded with a whip.

Tao Qian also bowed under the banner of Ma Zaimen and said, "Modesty wanted to befriend you, so please let Zhang Qian escort you." I don't want him to hurt people and not change his heart, so that there is such a thing. It's really not the reason for Tao Qian. I hope you think about it. “

Cao Cao scolded and said, "Old horseman! Killed my father, and don't dare to talk nonsense! Who can catch me alive? ”

Xiahoudun came out in response. Tao Qian hurriedly fled into the formation. Xiahoudun rushed to come, and Cao Bao jumped on his horse with a gun and came to meet him. The two horses intersected, and suddenly the wind blew fiercely, flying on the beach and rocks, and the two armies were in chaos, and each withdrew its troops.

Tao Qian entered the city, discussed with everyone, and said: "Cao's army is too strong to resist, I tied myself to Cao Cao's camp and let him cut it to save the lives of the people of Xuzhou County." ”

Before the words were broken, a person stepped forward and said: "You have been guarding Xuzhou for a long time, and the people are grateful." Now although Cao Cao has many soldiers, he has not been able to take our city immediately. You and the people can't stand out; Although I am not talented, I hope to use a small strategy to teach Cao ** that there is no place to be buried! Everyone was very surprised and hurriedly asked him what he could do.

Speaking of the people who offer advice, they are from Qu County, Donghaihai, surnamed Mi, called Zhu, and the word Zizhong. This man has been rich for generations, he once went to Luoyang to buy and sell, and returned by car, and met a beautiful woman on the way, who came to seek the same car, so Mi Zhu got out of the car and walked, and let the woman sit in the car by herself.

The woman asked Zhu to be in the same car. Zhu sat upright in the car and did not squint his eyes. After walking for miles, the woman refused to leave; They said to Mi Zhu respectively: "I am from the south of the Huode Xingjun, and I am ordered by heaven to burn your house." Thank you for being courteous to each other, so tell you. You can return immediately and move out your belongings. I'm coming at night. Then he was gone.

Mi Zhu was taken aback, rushed home, took everything in the house, and hurriedly moved out. Sure enough, the kitchen caught fire that night, and the house was completely burned down. ，

As a result, Mi Zhu gave up his family wealth to help the poor. Later, Tao Qian hired him as a different driver.

On the same day, he said: "I want to go to Beihai County in person and ask Kong Rong to send troops to rescue; Another person went to the Taishou Gongsun Zan of Beiping in Youzhou: if these two soldiers and horses came together, Cao Cao would definitely retreat. ”

Tao Qian agreed with his idea, so he wrote two letters and asked who dared to go to Youzhou for help. One of them answered his wishes. Everyone looks at the past, it is a native of Guangling, surnamed Chen, named Deng, and the character Yuanlong

。 Tao Qian first sent Chen Yuanlong to Youzhou, and then ordered Mi Zhu to send a letter to Beihai, and he led everyone to defend the city to prevent Cao Cao's attack.

Let's talk about Beihai Kong Rong, the word Wenju, a native of Qufu in Lu State, the twentieth grandson of Confucius, and the son of Kong Zhou, the commander of Taishan.

Smart since childhood, when he was ten years old, he went to meet Henan Yin Li Ying, Kong Rong said to Li Ying: "We have been friends for generations. ”

When he saw it, Li Ying asked, "Why is your grandfather related to my grandfather?" ”

Kong Rong said: "In the past, Confucius taught Lao Tzu, and you and I have not been friends for generations? ”

Li Ying couldn't help but be surprised. After a while, Taizhong doctor Chen Feng arrived. Li Ying pointed at Kong Rong and said, "This is a strange boy!" ~”

Chang Wei said: "When you are young, you are smart, but when you are older, you are not necessarily smart. “

Kong Rong responded: "If what you said is right, then you must have been a very smart person when you were young." ”

Li Ying and the others also said with a smile: "When this child grows up, he must be a big man of the current generation." Hence the name.

Later, he served as a lieutenant general, and was repeatedly promoted to Beihai Taishou. I like the guests the most, and I often say: "The seats are always full, and the wine in the bottle is not empty: this is what I hope for." ”

Six years in Beihai, very popular with the people. At that time, he was sitting with the guests, and people reported that Xuzhou Mizhu arrived. Kong Rong invited him to come in and ask him what he meant, Mi Zhu took out Tao Qian's book, and said: "Cao Cao's siege is very tight, I hope you come to the rescue." ”

Kong Rong said: "I have a good relationship with Tao Gongzu, and Zizhong is here in person, why don't you go?" It's just that Cao Cao and I have no hatred, and we should send someone to send a letter to reconcile first. If not, then raise troops. ”

Mi Zhu said: "Cao Cao relied on force and refused to make peace. Kong Rong asked people to order troops on the one hand, and send people to deliver letters on the other. While they were deliberating, someone suddenly reported that a large group of soldiers and horses from the north had come to Beihai.

Looking carefully at the past, it turned out to be Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, it turned out that Liu Bei recruited soldiers and horses in the plains to strengthen his own forces, and in the past few days, he brought the newly recruited soldiers, and also Guan Yu, Xu Chu came to the plains, and the junction of the Beihai to train troops.

happened to meet Chen Deng, who went to Gongsun Zhan for help, and was trapped by a group of bandits, and Liu Bei was going to save him when he saw it. The thief Kou didn't care because he saw that Liu Bei had few soldiers.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Xu Chu immediately stepped forward, and the leader of the thieves came out angrily. Yun Chang rode out and went straight to the leader of the thieves. The two horses intersected, and the army shouted.

How could the leader of a mere thief beat Guan Yu, in just one round, the green dragon knife was raised, and the leader of the thieves was under the horse. Liu Bei and Xu Chu both came out, one holding a male and female double-strand sword, and the other holding a tiger's back sword, and slaughtered into the enemy formation.

The thieves were solved in a short time, and Liu Bei and Chen Deng talked in detail.

Liu Bei and Chen Deng said, you don't have to go to Gongsun Zhan, he and Yuan Shao are in dire straits, so I'll help you.

Although Chen Deng knew that there were not many soldiers under Liu Bei's command, his two sworn brothers were capable people at first glance, so they happily agreed. Liu Bei has stayed enough in the plains, there is no place to expand at all, Qingzhou is the territory of the hussar general, even if he lends Liu Bei ten guts, he will not dare to start a war with Xue Rengui now. The north is Gongsun Zhan, who has helped him a lot, and Jizhou is the base camp of the fourth and third dukes, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei wants to take this opportunity to go to Xuzhou to see if there is any room for development.

Kong Rong ordered to open the city gate and let Liu Bei and others in, Kong Rong led Mi Zhu to see Xuande, explained in detail Zhang Xian's killing of Cao Song, and said: "Now, Cao manipulated the soldiers to plunder, surrounded Xuzhou, and came to ask for help. “

Liu Bei said: "Tao Gongzu is a benevolent gentleman, and he never imagined that he would have to suffer this innocent grievance. “

Kong Rong said: "Now that Cao Cao is cruel to the people and bullies the weak, why don't you come with me to save Xuzhou?" ”

Liu Bei said: "I have this intention, but the three brothers have no ability, but they have no soldiers and horses. ”

Kong Rong said: "In this case, I will allocate 5,000 men and horses to you, and hand them over to you to save Xuzhou, okay?" ”

Liu Bei said: "In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" ”

Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to lead Kong Rong's 5,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard, and he personally led the 2,000 soldiers and horses of the plain as the rear team to Xuzhou.

Speaking of Liu Beijun's arrival, Liu Bei said: "I'm afraid that there is no food in the city, and it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time." "Let Guan Yu lead 4,000 troops and garrison them outside; Liu Bei and Xu Chu killed Cao Ying and went directly to Xuzhou to meet Tao Qian to discuss. ”

Tao Qian was very happy, met Liu Bei, and sent soldiers and horses to fight with Liu Bei.

On this day, Liu Bei and Xu Chu led a thousand men and horses to fight at the edge of Cao Bing's village. As he was walking, a drum sounded in the village, and the horse army marched like a tide, and the possession of the general came out.

At the head of this general, this is Yu Ban, Le Ma shouted: "What a madman! Where to go! ”

Zhang Fei saw it, and he didn't talk anymore, and took it directly from the ban. The two horses intersected, and when they reached a few times, Xuande took two swords and swung his troops to rise, and fled in failure. Zhang Fei pursued and killed before resisting, all the way to the city of Xuzhou.

Seeing the red flag in white characters on Xuzhou City, writing "Liu Xuande of the Plains", Tao Qian hurriedly ordered the door to be opened. Liu Bei entered the city, and Tao Qian connected to invite Liu Bei to go to the mansion together.
