Kong Rong's face was a little bad after hearing this, but the other party was reasonable, and it was not easy to say anything, so he said: "Since you agreed, it's okay!" After speaking, he asked Mi Zhu to go to Xuzhou first to report the matter, and at the same time, he also ordered the soldiers and horses, and then set off for Xuzhou.

Tai Shi Ci also bowed and said: "I came to help on my mother's order, now that the siege of Beihai has been lifted, Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, is from a group of counties with me, and he has a letter for me to go back, I can't help but obey and allow me to meet again later." ”

Kong Rong was grateful for Tai Shici's merits and wanted to reward him with money, but Tai Shici resolutely didn't want to.

When he saw his mother, he looked very happy and said, "I am glad that you have contributed to the siege of Beihai, you are my good son!" ”

So he sent Tai Shici to Yangzhou.

After Liu Bei and the others left from Beihai, they walked in the direction of Gongsun Zhan, and on the way, Yuyi sighed: "This Kong Rong is really excessive, I think our eldest brother is easy to bully!" ”

Liu Bei smiled: "What kind of calculation he has, I know very well!" ”

Guan Yu walked behind and said, "The fourth brother came back this time, I feel that I have made a lot of progress, and I am the first to speak." ”

"Thank you for the praise of the second brother, but was I very bad before? Of course, my martial arts naturally can't be compared to my second brother. ”

Yu Yi smiled.

"The fourth brother is humble, in this troubled world, martial arts can only be brave, and only strategists can win the world."

Guan Yu sighed.

Liu Bei said: "Yes, although I don't agree with Jia Xu's behavior, I am also very grateful that he can teach you some strategic skills." ”

"I've only scratched the surface, and there's still a lot of room for improvement."

Yuyi said modestly.

Liu Bei and the others walked quickly, and when they arrived at Gongsun Zhan, they told him the plan to save Xuzhou, and Gongsun Zhan seemed a little unrighteous at this time, and said: "We still have some friendship with Cao Cao, and you have no grudges against him, why should you stand up for others?" ”

Liu Bei said: "I have promised others, I can't break my promise." ”

Gongsun Zan was a little hesitant, after all, in some battles with Yuan Shao last time, he also lost some soldiers and horses, and if he lent it to Liu Bei, then his strength would also be reduced.

Seeing this, Yuyi said: "Although my eldest brother has no grudge against Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's action is to slaughter the people of Xuzhou, it is an atrocity, and we are also on the right way to go to Xuzhou, if you are willing to lend us troops, we have made some achievements, then the credit must be yours, and then everyone in the world will feel that you have great ambitions, and you will come to you from other places, why worry about not being able to beat Yuan Shao?" ”

Gongsun Zhan looked at Yuyi and looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei knew that there was no introduction, so he said: "This is the fourth brother I mentioned in the camp of the princes of the Eighteenth Road, whose name is Yuyi." ”

"Oh, so that's the case, it's really young and vigorous, and he has a good plan, Xuande is really lucky."

Gongsun Chan sighed.

"Haha, it's not enough to worry about."

Liu Bei replied.

"But I'm not in a good situation right now, so I can only lend you two thousand."

Zhang Fei had a very straight temper and sighed: "It's only two thousand, what's the use." ”

Liu Bei dismissed Zhang Fei and said, "My third brother is rude, please bear with me, although two thousand is not much, but it can be lent to me, I am already very moved, but I hope to lend Zhao Yun to me as well." ”

Yu Yi thought to himself, although this Liu Bei is not good at the art of war and strategy, he is still quite high in terms of winning people's hearts and emotional intelligence.

Gongsun Chan thought about it and agreed.

So Liu Bei took his brothers and 3,000 people from the headquarters as the front department, and Zhao Yun followed closely with 2,000 men and horses from Gongsun Zhan and walked in the direction of Xuzhou.

After Mi Zhu returned to Xuzhou, he told Tao Qian about the situation, saying that Beihai Kong Rong not only wanted to come by himself, but also invited Liu Bei from Pingyuan County as a helper, and he also told Tao Qian the news of the rescue of Qingzhou Tian Kai, and he was a little more settled.

But after all, it was not to the extent of desperate rescue, after Kong Rong and Tian Kai arrived, they were afraid that they would be attacked by Cao Jun, so they set up camp far away, and did not dare to advance rashly.

Not far away, Liu Bei also arrived, Kong Rong came out to greet him, and said, "Xuande Gong is really a promise, which is admirable. ”

Liu Bei said: "The things I promised, naturally count, how is the current situation?" ”

Kong Rong said: "We have just arrived, Cao Cao is very good at arranging troops, I don't think it can be easily dispatched, it is better to observe some of his movements first, and then make calculations." ”

Liu Bei said: "Cao Cao has besieged Xuzhou for a long time, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the food in the city will be insufficient and will not be able to sustain it, so I must take the initiative to attack." ”

Yu Yi didn't know the details, so he thought about going to attack first, and there was no problem in exploring the depth.

So Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to each order 4,000 soldiers, with the help of Kong Rong and Tian Kai, to kill in the direction of Cao Cao's camp, kill a road, and discuss with Tao Qian in person.

So the three of them became horns, and Guan Yu and Zhang Yun led the troops to meet on both sides. On a dark night, Liu Bei, Yuyi, and Zhang Fei each led a thousand men and horses into the vicinity of Cao Cao's camp.

When he was walking, suddenly a drum sounded, it was Cao Cao's army killing outside, and the first general was Yu Ban, shouting loudly: "Where did the madman come from, where are you going?" ”

Zhang Fei replied: "His grandmother's, what do you care about me?" After speaking, he didn't answer, and went directly to kill in the direction of Yu Ban, the two intersected for a few rounds, Yu Ban felt a lot of pressure, and then Liu Bei held a pair of swords to cover the kill, and Yu Ban immediately retreated back.

Zhang Fei advanced with the trend, and the troops soon came to the city of Xuzhou.

In the city, I saw a red flag with white characters written on it, which was very eye-catching, and the content was: "Liu Bei of the Plains!" ”

Tao Qian knew that it was reinforcements, so he hurriedly opened the city gate, and Xuande led everyone into the city, Tao Qian went up to greet him, and went to the palace together.

Greeting each other, Tao Qian set up a banquet to reward everyone.

Tao Qian saw that Xuande's appearance was extraordinary, his appearance was high, and his language revealed open-mindedness, and he was very happy in his heart, and felt that Xuzhou had hope, so he asked Mi Zhu to come to Xuzhou's brand seal. Liu Bei was very surprised and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Yuyi whispered: "What he means is to give Xuzhou to you!" ”

Tao Qian said: "Now the world is in turmoil, the government is declining, you are a member of the Han family, and the court also needs people like you to preside over the overall situation, Kuang Fu Sheji, I am already very old, I have no ability, I want to give Xuzhou to you, I believe that under your leadership, Xuzhou can become better, I hope you don't shirk!" I will personally write an essay to show the court. ”
