At the beginning of the fourth year of Xingping, in the middle of spring, the army led by Liu Jian and Liu Bei finally arrived at the current capital of Xuzhou, Tancheng.

This time the class teacher returned to Xuzhou, and Liu Bei really experienced what it means to win the hearts of the people, what it means to welcome each other on the road, and what it means to welcome the pot pulp.

Especially when passing through the county seat, there were almost tens of thousands of people mixed in the rural roads outside the county seat, and they saw Liu Bei's army heading north, all vying to provide food and water to the soldiers, and cleaned up a large area of clean space next to the township gathering to provide Liu Bei and other people with troops to station.

Liu Bei was actually quite embarrassed, he didn't want to be stationed here too much to disturb the people, but Liu Jian obviously had a different attitude.

"We're going to stay here tonight, just one night."

Liu Bei was puzzled and said, "Why? It's not far from Tancheng? Why did you want to stay here? ”

"One, is that the elder brother should not violate the wishes of the people, you see, these tens of thousands of people greet each other, and greet you with pot pulp, so warm, how can you push it away, second, the elder brother must learn to be close to the people, over the years, our official position is getting bigger and bigger, and the power is getting bigger and bigger, but brother don't forget, the people who carry me are also the people, and the people who raise me are also the people."

"We have to maintain smooth communication with the people of Lishu, especially sometimes, we have to personally come down and take a look and observe the people's suffering, after all, the affairs of the people are not just as simple as the people below who have submitted them."

When Liu Bei heard this, he thought thoughtfully.

So, the two of them stayed here that night, and the soldiers and civilians had fun together.

Liu Bei did not take advantage of the people, he did not accept the gifts of the local people in vain, but took out a part of the military rations and used them in exchange with the local people, and it can even be said that the value of the food Liu Bei gave to the people was far more than the gifts of the local villagers to the soldiers in the army.

That night, Liu Bei personally entertained the three elders of the township and the township officials in Juzhong, and Liu Jian accompanied him.

In order not to scare these old people, Liu Jian did not report his name, but only listened as a deputy general beside Liu Bei.

"General Liu, this time the Cao army conquered Xuzhou, and the general led his troops here, otherwise...... Otherwise...... Otherwise we ......"

The one who speaks is that there is an order in this place, and he belongs to the township officials, and he is in charge of hearing lawsuits and collecting taxes.

As he spoke, he saw his tears crackling and flowing.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Why do you have to do this? Liu Bei came to Xuzhou because of morality, but in fact, he did not do anything big. ”

The three elders next to him hurriedly explained to Liu Bei: "General, although Li Youzhi's household registration is in his hometown, he is a foreign minister, and his brothers and sisters are all in Guangling, but it's a pity...... This time, Cao's army went north and forcibly moved the villagers of Guangling to Jiangdong. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed and sighed.

Cao Cao went north this time, with the power of great victory, forcibly relocated a lot of rural people to Jiangdong for reclamation, although it was conducive to the development of Jiangdong, but the south of Xuzhou was a mess, people went to the empty building, extremely decayed.

Of course, with so many people, it was impossible for Cao Cao to complete the migration, he just targeted a few large counties with large populations and forced the sergeants to supervise the migration.

Although Cao Jun had some specific plans, his plans and means of relocation were not perfect, and all the relocation costs, food and lodging needed to be solved by the people of Xuzhou who were relocated.

To be honest, this is tantamount to turning the villagers into displaced people to a certain extent, and under this chaotic migration, it is bound to cause many people to clash head-on with Cao Jun, resulting in the separation and death of the villagers.

Although it cannot be said to be purgatory on earth, for ordinary Li Shu, a hasty migration with no specific plan is undoubtedly a disaster.

And for their relatives who are still in Xuzhou, this will undoubtedly separate their relatives, and they may never see each other again in their lives.

It is true that what Cao Jun did in Xuzhou was not as bad as the slaughter of the city in history, but they were also extremely unfriendly to ordinary people in Xuzhou.

Liu Bei listened to the townspeople, Youzhi, Qifu, You Yu and others one by one told about Cao Cao's evil deeds, although these people were all in the East China Sea and were not directly harmed by Cao Jun, but many of their relatives and friends were in Pengcheng and Xiapi, especially recently a lot of displaced people have poured in from Xiapi to the north, which greatly disrupted the security of the East China Sea, and at the same time, from the mouths of these displaced people, the people can also know about Cao Jun's evil deeds, so no one is afraid.

Therefore, Liu Bei, who has been on the southern front line and fought against Cao's army, is a hero!

Moreover, Tao Qian's army was unable to shrink after being defeated by Cao Cao, and he completely lost the courage to continue fighting with Cao Cao, so in the eyes of many township officials and villagers, only Liu Bei could defend their Xuzhou.

And, who knows, will Cao Jun come again next time?!

"General Liu, can you not leave?"

I don't know who suddenly said this, and then I saw a group of township officials get up one after another and kneel down towards Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was taken aback when he saw this, he hurriedly got up and went to support these people present one by one.

But these people still knelt firmly.

"General Liu, the current Xuzhou can't live without you!"

"I wait for the lives of the small people, and only the general can be saved!"

"If the general is not there, what will happen to Xuzhou when the next time Cao's army goes north again?"

"General, please!"

“……”

All the people were kneeling in the middle of the field, making Liu Bei anxious, and comforting them sentence after sentence, telling these people to hurry up, but these people just couldn't afford it.

In the end, he saw Liu Bei sigh helplessly.

"The hearts of the people in the world are like a thousand burdens, which are difficult to bear."

At this time, I suddenly heard Liu Jian speak: "Your feelings, my General Liu understands very well, but there is one point, this matter is not General Liu himself can decide, it is not that General Liu does not want to protect the people here, it is really that General Liu also has a lot of hardships." ”

The township officials present looked at Liu Jian on the side.

Liu Jian sighed: "Ladies and gentlemen, you need to know that Xuzhou has never been under the jurisdiction of General Liu, this is the territory of Tao Yuanjun, Tao Yuanjun does not let go, how can General Liu stay?" ”

"And Xuzhou is now everywhere, there are rumors of the merits of my General Liu, and there are many accusations against Tao Envoy, let me ask how I can stay in Xuzhou for a long time with the situation of my lord?"

It stands to reason that Liu Jian's words can be said to be sincere, and these township officials should be able to understand it.

But in fact, they don't care.

"General Liu is for the country and the people, and he is loved by the people, and it is right!"

"Could it be that because Tao Yuanjun's reputation is not as good as General Liu, General Liu can't stay in Xuzhou?"

"What kind of reasoning is this?"

"I can't wait!"

"If Tao Envoy Jun wants to be a critic, he can be diligent in government and love the people, and be sympathetic to the people."

"yes, what's the point of bombing people away?"

“……”

The township officials present were noisy with each other. The "victim" Liu Bei, on the contrary, became a peacemaker, and vigorously persuaded these people present.

At this time, there was a person outside the tent who glanced at Liu Jian inside.

Liu Jian understood casually and followed the man out of the handsome tent.

It was Li Gu, the school lieutenant who was in charge of the affairs of the southeast.

"My lord."

"What's the matter?"

"Lord, there is news from Tancheng, Tao Qian should have been advised and instigated by the villain Cao Hong and his two sons, and he is determined not to let Xuande Gong enter the city!"

"In addition, his subordinates investigated, Tao Qian is also sending people to spread rumors everywhere, saying that the words made by him in Xuzhou before were maliciously slandered, which meant Xuande Gongye."

When Liu Jian heard this, he smiled indifferently.

"Tao Gongzu is famous on the outside, but not on the inside, and now this fox tail is finally exposed."

Li Gu hurriedly said: "According to the will of the lord, how should the last official act?" ”

"What should I do, what should I do, is it possible that I raise you and other scholars, when it comes to the skills in this area, it is not as good as Tao Qianhu?"

Li Gu said: "The school affairs office, naturally it will not disappoint the lord!" ”

Liu Jian turned his head to look at the tent, pointed to the township officials, and said, "See?" This is the real people's desire, the royal road is in my Liu family, and it will be invincible! ”

"Go ahead!"

"Whoa!"

……

……

A few days later, a major event occurred in the territory of the East China Sea Kingdom.

With Tancheng as the center, there are about more than 50 township officials, who actually coincidentally went to Tancheng together with the Wanmin Watch, asking Tao Qian to leave Liu Xuande in Xuzhou to protect the people of Xuzhou.

If one or two township officials go to Tancheng to give advice, it is not a big deal, for Tao Qian, it is not a big deal.

However, the township officials of more than 50 townships petitioned together, and there were more than 300 people who came to admonish them, and the people of the township behind these more than 300 people were more than 100,000.

Moreover, this is only a rural gathering near Tancheng as the center.

Who knows if further afield, will anyone still come to Xuzhou and advise Liu Bei to stay?

When Tao Qian saw those so-called "Wanmin Tables", his coughing voice became more violent, and he even coughed up two mouthfuls of blood.

At this time, Hua Tuo, who was in charge of diagnosing Tao Qian, was very helpless when he saw the situation in front of him.

He felt that this Tao Qian really couldn't be saved.

After coughing, I heard Tao Qian roar hoarsely.

"This Liu Bei, don't let him stay in Xuzhou!"

……

"Brother, look, that's Tancheng!"

Following Guan Yu's point, Liu Jian saw the city of Tancheng.

Tancheng is located in the south of the low mountains and hills in the south of central Shandong, the hinterland of the Lintancang Plain, the terrain is high in the north and low in the south, the east is high and the west is low, the rivers in the territory belong to the Huaihe River Basin, the Yi River, the Shu River, the canal water system, the flow direction is mostly from north to south, the Yi River and the Shu River run through the county border, it is the main river in transit, it has long been used as the state and county administration of Tan County, Donghai County and Xuzhou Thorn History Department, it is the granary of Lunan County.

Liu Jian carefully observed the situation around Tan County and praised it.

A good piece of plains and rivers crisscross the land, if it is well developed, it will inevitably become a place of abundance!

The land of Xuzhou must be in your own hands.

He was bound to win.

The army was stationed not far from Tanxian County, and Liu Bei sent people to Tancheng to show Tao Qian, hoping that Tao Qian could give his soldiers and horses a place to camp, and then allocate some grain to labor the army.

I thought it should be a very smooth thing, but I didn't think about it, but something went wrong.

The envoy didn't even see Tao Qian's face, and was directly sent back by the people in Tan County.

At the same time, the other party also sent a messenger and carried a thousand stones of grain, which was given to Liu Bei, and made it clear to Liu Bei: Tao Qian is very sick now, and there is really no way to meet Liu Bei, Liu Bei is working the expedition, and it is not suitable to stay in Xuzhou for a long time across the border, and ask Liu Bei to lead the troops back to Qingzhou.

Obviously, this is to drive Liu Bei away.

Although he didn't turn his face and didn't recognize people, he was almost close to tearing his face.

Liu Bei is a very good person, but it doesn't mean that he is a good person.

Sometimes, when Liu Bei's temper comes up, it is more terrible than anyone else.

"Smack!"

In front of the Xuzhou envoy, Liu Bei slapped the table case heavily, obviously already angry.

"I led the generals, from Qingzhou to come here, not for anything else, only for benevolence and justice, to help Tao Gongzu to fight Cao Cao, during the difficult and dangerous period, the soldiers were injured, and now the soldiers and horses are returning to the north, passing by Tancheng, but the lord of you does not even prepare the boundary of a camp, only gives a thousand stones of grain and grass to send, is it not to deceive me Liu Bei has not seen the grain!"

"What a merciless man!"

When the messenger heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, Tao Yuanjun is seriously ill, and now he is recuperating in bed, so he really can't entertain Xuande Gong......"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Zhang Fei sneer: "Tao Yuanjun is seriously ill, is there no one else in Xuzhou?" Tao Yuanjun is seriously ill, all things in Xuzhou have stopped, and all military and political affairs have been abandoned? ”

"This ......"

Liu Beiyan said: "In the coming day, I will personally go to Tancheng, hoping that your side can send qualified people to talk to me, and be sure to explain everything...... Let your family Tao envoy send someone who understands and explain what he is doing today! ”

The messenger hurriedly agreed, and then took his leave.

"It's just no one!"

Liu Bei stomped back and forth in the handsome tent angrily, and suddenly he looked at Liu Jian who was smiling on the side, and then said, "Deran, what do you say about this matter?" ”

Liu Jian said casually: "I have carte blanche to my brother about all the things in Xuzhou, what my brother should do, I just watch and don't participate...... How to communicate with Tao Qian depends on his brother. ”

"How can I be the Lord just sitting here?"

Liu Jian smiled and said: "I don't care about everything this time, it's up to you to decide." ”

After that, Liu Jian turned his head to look at the blue sky outside the tent, and said helplessly: "It's a pity that my army came here on an expedition to relieve the worries of Xuzhou...... I can't even hear a thank you. ”

After Liu Bei heard this, his face suddenly turned a little blue.

His hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

……

……

The next day, Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and Cheng Pu to the south gate of Tancheng, originally thinking that the other party would send someone to see Liu Bei, at least to open a city gate, put a drawbridge, and come to talk to Liu Bei.

Who would have thought that the other party's city gate was not opened at all.

On the city wall, there were already three people guarding Cao Hong, Tao Shang, and Tao Ying.

Liu Bei had previously had a relationship with Cao Hong, Tao Shang, Tao Ying and others in Tancheng.

When they met this time, they saw Liu Bei arching his hand towards the city and said, "Two virtuous nephews, why do you want to talk in the city?" Why don't you open the gates and talk about it?! ”

The pottery merchant arched his hand at Liu Bei expressionlessly, and said: "Liu Yuanjun, I will call you an envoy today for the friendship of the past, our two families are quite friendly, and it is really not appropriate to spoil this relationship because of some people's despicable methods!" ”

"Please also ask Liu Zhijun to lead the troops to leave Tancheng, our two families can still communicate in the future, if you want to go your own way, if you have to seize Xuzhou, then I will burn the jade!"

When these words came out, Liu Bei was immediately stunned.

Isn't this a basin on people's heads?!

"Virtuous nephew, I, Liu Bei, came to Xuzhou to help, and I never had this intention, but where did you start with this? It's chilling, isn't it? ”

"Chill."

Tao Ying on the side smiled coldly and said, "Xuande Gong, when you sent someone to spread rumors in Xuzhou to slander my father and slander my Tao family, didn't you think that your actions would be chilling?" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his nose was crooked.

"What does the prestige of your Tao family father and son in Xuzhou have to do with me? I, Liu, am fighting hard with Cao Ren and Sun Jian in Xuzhou, how can I have the heart to do these things? Your own prestige, which you did not defend yourselves, now you have come to slander me. ”

"With such a character, how can you sit in a state?"

Cao Hongdao on the side:

"Liu Bei, what you do is what you do, it's useless for you to quibble, you deliberately slander the reputation of the Tao family, and want to seize Xuzhou as your foundation, your sinister intentions can deceive the people, but you can't deceive those of us who understand, let me tell you, if you want to seize Xuzhou, it's impossible!"

Obviously, this is a ploy discussed by the potter, Tao Yong, and Cao Hong.

They themselves had ill intentions and didn't want Liu Bei to come to Xuzhou, so they used a trick to splash dirty water, and threw all the slander that Tao Qian received in Xuzhou on Liu Bei, and then let Liu Bei bear this notoriety, so that he was embarrassed to continue to stay in Xuzhou and drove him away.

After all, Liu Bei is a person who values reputation and feathers very much, they spilled this basin of dirty water, if Liu Bei is really angry and attacked, it proves that Liu Bei does have the heart to seize Xuzhou, and the things that slandered Tao Qian before will naturally fall on Liu Bei's head.

Since Liu Bei cherished his reputation so much, he would definitely not do it.

Liu Beiqi trembled.

He raised the whip of his horse and pointed to several people on the head of the city:

"You slander me like this, are you deceiving me Liu Xuan's kindness? Do you think that I really dare not attack this city of Tan? ”

The potter said: "Hmph! It is precisely because we know that you have the heart to seize Tancheng that we are here to persuade you today. ”

"Liu Bei, my father and you are both courtiers of the Han Dynasty, why are you struggling with each other now?"

When these words came out, Liu Bei almost vomited blood.

"What a bunch of shameless people, you are really bullying someone Liu is a good person! Believe it or not, I'm going to attack the city now?! ”

"Liu Bei, if you want to attack the city, come here, if you have the ability, kill us all, kill us, and everyone in the world will know the sinister intentions of this despicable villain!"
