"Xuande Gong, don't listen to rumors, this is Cao Cao's treacherous plan, to confuse my Xuzhou army and people with rumors, so that you can seize the opportunity of military morale when attacking the city!"

Sun Qian immediately panicked.

You're not going to tell me you're leaving, are you?!

My lord is just waiting for reinforcements to come and save his life!

This is the key to morale, if there are reinforcements, at least the sergeants can have a hope, if they are outside the city gates, they turn away.

Isn't it a fall into the ground!?

After Liu Bei heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "I will definitely return this favor for Brother Boju." ”

"It's okay, but I, Liu Bei, have a favor, but this is a small righteousness after all."

Liu Bei stared at Sun Qian and said, "Family and country, filial piety is righteousness." ”

"As far as I know, after Cao Cao entered Xuzhou, he did not slaughter the people, did not loot the township, but opened a warehouse to release grain to support the displaced people."

"Only by being so open-minded can we win the praise and support of the people and win the hearts of the people."

"Which is more important? Can Gongyu be conclusive? ”

"Nope."

Sun Qian chuckled in his heart.

He understands now, Liu Bei was invited, but he was not completely invited.

Liu Xuande claims to be a relative of the Han family, many years of foreign wars, although the number is not large, but experienced in a hundred battles, about Zhang two generals, plus he himself is very generous and charming, is to be a soldier in the fine and not more, but lose less and win more.

Most of his men are experienced veterans.

Originally, Sun Qian didn't understand why Liu Bei was small in number, but he was able to leave his figure in the victory.

They are the teachers of justice, and they are naturally like boats hitting the river with the current, and they are indomitable.

Nature wins.

Now it seems that Liu Bei is really leaving......

"Gongyou, Tao Xuzhou has lost power, and the people's hearts are towards Cao, even if my reinforcements are here, I can't say a word, Cao Cao's revenge is plotting against Xuzhou."

"for the people are toward him."

"If he has plundered and slaughtered, so that the people of the land are united in hatred and unwilling to surrender to the bandits, then he can defend it."

"Because the solidity of mountains and rivers is not in the bricks and tiles of the city walls, but in the hearts of the people."

Liu Bei said this sentence from the bottom of his heart, which made Guan Yu stop brushing his beard, and made Zhang Fei also nod in a daze.

Sun Qian was even more shocked.

A good sentence is that the solidity of mountains and rivers is not in the bricks and tiles of the city wall, but in the hearts of the people!

People's hearts are the most difficult barrier to break.

If the army and the people are single-minded, want to defend Xiapi, and have the determination to fight with blood to the last soldier, then Cao Cao will have to pay a huge price far beyond imagination even if he gnaws Xiapi down.

And it just so happens that this is what is most lacking in Xiapi now.

"Xuande Gong, what should I do now?"

"After all, if you want to go down first, my lord may be waiting for Xuande Gong to save his life."

"Humph!"

As soon as Sun Qian's words fell, Zhang Fei snorted coldly directly, and a voice like a bell came, "Your lord has done such a pickled thing, let my eldest brother lead troops to save him, if our brother goes out to fight bloody for him, I don't know how wronged he will be if he dies." ”

"Along the way, I heard the people talking, and it didn't look like you at all, Sun Gongyou, you came here to trick us, can that count?"

"According to me, it's still too late to leave now."

"Not bad," Guan Yu said succinctly, but his expression was even more contemptuous.

In his opinion, Tao Qian's behavior of asking for help is already a bit unacceptable.

You yourself coveted other people's possessions, and provoked a strong enemy, but you couldn't defeat them.

So why mess with it?

"I can't answer this ......"

Sun Qian took a deep breath and adjusted his losses.

Even if he is clever and eloquent, he doesn't know how to dismiss it.

Liu Bei glanced at the two of them left and right, then smiled at Sun Gan, and arched his hand: "Gongyou don't have to worry. ”

"By saying this, I am actually telling you that I will go in even though I know that I am in dire straits."

"This is worthy of the life of my brother Boju, and worthy of ...... You are a man of lofty ideals, and you have asked for help from thousands of miles. ”

Sun Qian was stunned for a moment, and for some reason, he was touched by this sentence, and his nose was sour, for me?!

Liu Xuande, for the sake of my savior, is he still willing to enter Xiapi?!

After Liu Bei said this, his face became solemn again, and he said again: "But I have a word first, I came from Youzhou, not to plot against Xuzhou and take advantage of people's danger." ”

"Please also ask Xuzhou Wenwu not to make a mistake with Tao Gong, Liu Bei is just asking for this favor, trying to say a word to Cao Gong."

"If it doesn't work, I can't control the situation, after all, I'm just a plain."

Now he has left the plains.

However, Liu Bei is good at hiding his heart, and the real reason for going south in his heart is that he only said it privately with the two brothers.

The north today shall not stay for long.

It wasn't that Gongsun Zan couldn't beat Yuan Shao, so he abandoned him.

But Gongsun Zhan is now very different from his early years, Xu has lived in the border for a long time to deter foreign races, but his reputation is not as high as Liu Yu, so his political views and concepts are gradually disagreeable.

Now Youzhou, actually...... It's already Gongsun Chan who is in charge.

This year, Liu Yu tried to take down Gongsun Chan and lead the troops to fight, but Liu Yu was kind-hearted and couldn't bear the soldiers to travel long distances, and the road was arduous.

As a result, he was broken by Gongsun Zan and put under house arrest, named Zhou Mu, but in fact he was just a puppet.

In this way, Gongsun Chan will make a move sooner or later, and Liu Bei must get out of his rule as soon as possible.

After all, Liu Yu's reputation is too big in Youzhou.

The local people even regarded him as a parent, and under his benevolent government, I don't know how many people were saved, and Liu Yu was still a relative of the Han Emperor, and his status was outstanding.

A few years ago, he rejected Yuan Shao's request to support him as the second son of heaven, and he was upright, worthy of the reputation of a celebrity Confucian, benevolent and loving the people.

Once Gongsun Chan attacked him.

Defeat is inevitable.

Liu Xuande saw this point so thoroughly that he could only abandon it.

Of course, this is also more righteous than small righteousness in his heart, if he is asked to help attack Liu Yu because of Gongsun Zhan's kindness, Liu Bei can't do such a thing, and he doesn't dare to do it.

People who are also clan relatives, how dare they bear the name of the Han Dynasty?

At this time, Sun Qian's heart was extremely complicated, but he also understood Liu Bei's friendship.

Immediately deeply moved, bowed and bowed, "Gongyou, I am very grateful to Xuande Gong, Xuande Gong's kindness, I will definitely remember it in my heart!" ”

Liu Bei smiled calmly, "It's serious." ”

"It's not because Gongyou is like this, but because I appreciate Gongyou's loyalty, and I think of my three brothers, all of whom are so heart-to-hearted."

"How can such a righteous man bear it?"

"Xuande Gong ......"

Sun Qian's expression was shocked, and a thousand words were already brewing in his heart.

……

After all, Liu Bei still followed Sun Qian into Xiapi City.

I went to the city gate tower and saw Tao Qian.

At this moment, Tao Qian was still lying on the couch and was angry, and when he saw Liu Bei coming, he sat up with difficulty, and his expression was quite excited.

I just endured it for a while, and I immediately burst into tears.

"Xuande, I asked for help from the princes of the Alliance, and you are the only one who is willing to come to the rescue of Xuzhou, this affection is really priceless! Xuande! It's a good time, with you, our army is stable, and the army and the people are united, and they will definitely be able to defend Xiapi! ”

"I, the people of Xuzhou, are looking forward to Xuande as a savior!"

Sun Qian, who was following Liu Bei, paused when he heard this.

This...... Where did the military and civilians come from?

Lord, be honest.

The main thing is that Xuande Gong has seen through everything a long time ago.
