Mi Zhu's words stunned everyone present.

But seeing Tao Qian, he looked at Mi Zhu suspiciously: "Then Liu Bei is Liu Deran's brother, and I heard that he is also the number one general under him, you let the old man invite him...... Without Liu Deran's consent, how could he come here? Besides, doesn't his coming mean that Liu Deran is here? ”

Mi Zhu shook his head and said, "If you think so, then you are wrong. ”

"The Mi family goes to Hebei to do business all the year round, and on the way to Hebei, they have also heard about various things in Hebei."

"After Liu Jian became the general of Fuyuan, he re-enshrined the generals under his command."

"Liu Bei used to be the pastor of Western Qingzhou, but now the government affairs of Qingzhou are all under Liu Yu, and Liu Bei was appointed as the hussar general who specializes in the north under the rule of General Fuyuan."

"However, the title of the pastor envoy of Xiqingzhou was, after all, directly enshrined to Liu Bei by the imperial court. This is something that Liu Jian did not deprive after he built the Fuyuan General's Mansion...... Therefore, the soldiers of Qingzhou are still under Liu Bei's overall planning. ”

"Liu Bei is under Liu Jian, and he has a certain degree of autonomy!"

"I heard that last month, there was a riot in Qingzhou because of the Dutian incident, so Liu Bei returned to Qingzhou to quell the disaster, and has stayed in Qingzhou since then."

"And Liu Jian is now rectifying the internal affairs of Jizhou and Youzhou, and I heard that he is entangled in all kinds of things, and I am afraid that he will not have time to fight abroad in a short time."

"As a pastoral envoy, Liu Bei should be able to lead the troops independently."

"Especially when I heard that this person is also based on benevolence and righteousness, and treats others with generosity."

"Why don't you send someone to contact Liu Bei and ask him to send troops to help?"

"Liu Bei takes care of his reputation, and if he is invited by the envoy, he will be willing to come to the rescue!"

"In addition, although Liu Xuande has the reputation of benevolence and righteousness, he is far inferior to his younger brother, and I heard that this person is not as resourceful as Liu Jian,"

"It is difficult for a person who has the name of a hero, who takes benevolence and righteousness as the foundation of his life, and who is still controlled by others, to seize the foundation of the Lord."

"Liu Jian is far away in Ji and You, and he doesn't want Liu Bei to take Xuzhou and his power rises, so if we can invite Liu Bei to come to Xuzhou to help us resist Yuan Cao, after he and Yuan and Cao are both defeated, it may not be difficult for the lord to invite him away from Xuzhou again...... Maybe the lord didn't have to bother, Liu Jian called him back. ”

Mi Zhu's words seemed to be like a heart booster, piercing into the heart of the elderly Tao Qian.

He felt refreshed.

"Zizhong's words are quite reasonable, since this is the case, then send two envoys to Yuan Shu and Liu Bei at the same time, and invite them to come to Xuzhou to help the old man fight against Cao."

Mi Zhu said: "I am willing to go to Yuan Shu and say that Yuan Highway sent troops to help." ”

Mi Zhu is very smart, since Liu Bei was recommended by him, then he can't take the initiative to ask for orders to go to Qingzhou.

Because he still knows Tao Qian well.

This person looks like an elder and has a fiery temper.

In fact, this old man's mind is not simple.

He has a lot of scheming about people, and he is suspicious by nature.

Now Mi Zhu took the initiative to go to Yuan Shu, but he could rule out the suspicion that he had secretly befriended Liu Bei in private.

Tao Qian nodded with satisfaction.

Then he looked at the crowd.

"Who is willing to go north to Qingzhou to see Liu Bei and ask him to send troops to help me Xuzhou?"

I never thought that under this question, the people present were silent.

It's not that they can't go, it's just that Tao Qian's mind is heavier, and these people simply don't say anything in order to avoid Tao Qian's suspicion of them.

Seeing this, Tao Qian couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"What? At this critical moment, is there no one willing to share the worries of the old man? ”

Everyone still didn't speak, for fear that Tao Qian would test them.

It's actually quite sad for a lord to do this.

Thinking of this, Tao Qian couldn't help but sigh.

Since these people present did not take the initiative to ask for help, Tao Qian could only order people in person.

He looked around, and after looking at it for a while, his eyes fell on Chen Qi's body.

"Brother Han Yu, it's better for you to ......"

Chen Jue was startled when he heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Envoy, at my age, I really can't go far!" And there is still an old illness in the body, this one to Qingzhou, if something really happens, will it have to kill me? ”

When Tao Qian heard this, he suddenly became angry.

I haven't finished speaking, why are you in a hurry?

"Han Yu, the old man didn't let you go, the old man wanted you to choose one of your two sons as a messenger and go to Qingzhou to see Liu Xuande."

"Your Chen family is the county of my Xuzhou, and having someone from your Chen family invite Xuande can also show my Xuzhou's sincerity to him."

When Chen Qi heard Tao Qian say this, he let go of half of his heart.

In fact, he didn't want his two sons to be involved in the matter of asking for help for Xuzhou.

In Chen Jue's opinion, this matter is completely thankless.

However, since Tao Qian put the matter on the head of their Chen family, Chen Qian had no way to refuse.

"In that case, then let my eldest son Chen Deng go to Qingzhou on behalf of the envoy."

Tao Qian smiled when he heard this.

"That's very good."

……

……

Then Mi Zhu went to Yuan Shu, and Chen Deng, Chen Qi's son, went north to Qingzhou.

After all, the matter was urgent, and Chen Deng hurried all the way to Linzi in Qingzhou.

Liu Bei probably arrived in Qingzhou a month before the war in Xuzhou.

This was something he had discussed with Liu Jian in advance.

In other words, it was the agreement they made with Mi Fang secretly in Yecheng.

Liu Bei said that he was quelling the rebellion in Qingzhou during this time, but in fact, the rebellion in Qingzhou was not very serious.

After all, Liu Jian eradicated more than 40 major clans in Jizhou in one fell swoop, and the prominent clans in Qingzhou were also greatly shocked.

Now, no matter how big the political reform is carried out in the four prefectures of Hebei, these high-ranking families are generally secretly making small moves, and they cannot organize large-scale rebellions.

Qingzhou occasionally jumps out of so many things that don't know the current affairs...... Just let Gao Shun, Han Dang, Cheng Pu and others clean up enough.

It was not his turn at all, and Liu Xuande personally stepped out.

When he returned to Qingzhou this time, Liu Bei was simply waiting for Tao Qian to invite him.

But before Tao Qian sent someone to invite him, Liu Bei also had nothing to do, shopping, hunting, drinking, barbecue, playing with dogs, horses, and buying clothes all day long...... It's all done when I was young.

Although it was very leisurely, Liu Bei felt very relaxed and not bored, which reminded him of the old days.

It seems that in recent years, he has not had such a chic life, which is really memorable.

When, after Liu Jian completely pacified the world and was peaceful, he would be a carefree general, and he would not lead troops or fight, just take his rank for nothing, and live such a day at home every day, wouldn't it be beautiful?

But now this must be difficult to achieve, he wants to live such a life, and it is estimated that Liu Jian will not be able to let him go.

Just when Liu Bei was living happily, the envoy from Xuzhou finally came to Linzi City to meet Liu Xuande.

The name of the messenger was Chen Deng, the eldest son of the Guangling Chen family.

Liu Bei has done a lot of homework in Xuzhou during this time, and naturally knows that the other party is a famous county in Xuzhou, so he is very polite and courteous.

Chen Deng is a smart and meticulous person, and his eye for seeing people is very accurate.

Although Liu Bei was suspected of putting on a show in front of him, Chen Deng only made a general contact with the other party, and looking at his words and deeds, he could guess what kind of character the other party was.

When they met for the first time, Liu Bei gave Chen Deng the feeling that he was bold and heroic, but he was elegant in his heroism, and he had an affinity that could not be concealed in words.

Even if it is a figure like Chen Deng. was almost infected by Liu Bei.

Such a Liu Bei made Chen Deng faintly feel yearning and admiration for him in his heart.

However, Chen Deng soon came back to his senses.

He was very surprised at Liu Bei's ability to infect himself.

This Liu Bei is still like this, so his lord-in-law ...... Liu Deran, whose fame and ability are far superior to him, what kind of hero does he have to be?

It's horrible!

……

"Yuanlong came to me this time to ask for help on behalf of Tao Envoy?"

Chen Deng arched his hand and said: "I have heard for a long time that General Liu has the name of a hero, and now Cao Song died unexpectedly in the realm of my Xuzhou, Cao Cao came to Pengchengguo with the army of Jiangdong, and vowed to take down my lord and ask for the guilt." ”

"Although my lord is willing to dedicate himself to the people of Xuzhou, how can he still not worry about handing over Xuzhou to a person like Cao Cao."

"Besides, there must be another hidden story behind Cao Song's death!"

"If Cao Cao really kills my master, he will make the villain's treacherous plan succeed! This is an unwise move, so my lord wants to ask General Liu to send troops south to help resist Cao's army. ”

Liu Bei said with emotion: "Tao Envoy Jun actually knows that there is Liu Bei in the world? ”

"It's just that I heard that although Cao Mengde marched into Xuzhou, he only killed local officials, and did not commit violence against the local people."

Chen Deng said: "This is exactly what Cao Cao's deceit is about, he sent troops in the name of revenge, but he did not seize the treasury, did not slaughter the people to vent his anger, but treated the people preferentially, and did the things that won the hearts of the people, making it clear that he was plotting Xuzhou in the name of revenge." ”

"Such a treacherous and cunning man, will the general watch his ruses succeed?"

Liu Bei sighed and nodded: "That is the case, then Liu will lead his troops to Xuzhou to help Tao Envoy Jun and Cao Cao...... However, I don't know what the battle will be, and Liu can only do his best. ”
