The pottery merchant and Tao Ying died in such an unknown way, perhaps they thought they were dead, they thought they were dead at the hands of Cao Cao.

No one is concerned about their deaths, at least not for now, but it is believed that it will not be long before their deaths are brought up again.

At the same time, a group of subordinate officials in Xuzhou City, as well as a group of outsiders who came to visit Xuzhou, gathered on the official road from Xuzhou to Qingzhou and invited Liu Bei to enter Xuzhou.

And the local people in Xuzhou are also piled up on the official road, one after another to Liu Bei Yaoyao to pay homage, shouting that Liu Bei can stay and govern Xuzhou.

Faced with this situation, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little difficult.

He temporarily stayed in the middle of the official road, looking at the dense people on the road in front of him with a look of embarrassment, and sighed for a long time.

"Well, you're going to be caught in the land of injustice."

Behind Liu Bei, Chen Qi walked out first on crutches.

He saluted Liu Bei: "Xuande Gong, this is what everyone expects and what the people want...... If the public refuses to return to Tancheng at this time, it will be a loss of righteousness, a loss of popular support, and a loss of popularity. ”

What Chen Qi said was very good, so that Liu Bei had no way to refute it directly.

Zhao Yu also stepped forward and patiently persuaded Liu Bei: "Xuande Gong, look at these people present, each of them expects the Duke to stay so much, this is not something that can be done by just finding someone." ”

"You have to be wise, courageous, virtuous and righteous to win the hearts of the people in order to make the people of a state treat it like this."

"Xuande, do you really want to cure their wishes?"

"You know, for these people, only Xuande Gong can protect Xuzhou now."

"The people of Pengcheng, Xiapi, and Guangling are well known, but my subordinate officials in Xuzhou, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have no choice but to watch them move the people, disturb the people, and cause trouble in the south of Xuzhou."

"Xuande Gong, if you leave now, the northern border of Xuzhou will be conquered by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao sooner or later, and the people here will be even more alive than dead."

"Xuande Gong, are you really willing to give up the lives and future of thousands of Li Shu in Xuzhou for the sake of your own reputation?"

"This ......"

Zhao Yu's words can be said to be extremely pleasant.

Even Liu Bei's face showed a look of enlightenment.

Liu Bei arched his hand to Zhao Yu and said: "What the public said is very true, Liu Bei almost made the people fire and water for his own selfish interests, it is really not a gentleman's doing, Mr. taught a lesson." ”

Soon, the audience said:

"Xuande Gong, you can go back with us."

"General Liu, Xuzhou can't live without you."

"Xuande Gong! Please also ask Xuande Gong to return to Xuzhou with us, and we are willing to go to the court together, and Xuande Gong is Xuzhou Mu. ”

"Xuande Gong, Qingzhou is rich, with Liu Bo'an in charge, there is no shortage of Xuande Gong, please ask Xuande Gong to stay in Xuzhou and save Xuzhou."

Just when a group of people were vying to persuade Liu Bei, they saw a general who looked younger than Liu Bei, and came behind Liu Bei.

He looked around at the crowd with a smile on his face, smiled lightly and said:

"What the Duke said is very true, this is related to the future and life of the people of Xuzhou, our Liu brothers can no longer take care of the reputation, the Duke of Zhu retreat, let me persuade Brother Xuande well, let Brother Xuande return to Xuzhou, and fulfill the wishes of the Duke and the people of Xuzhou, can you?"

The people present were all bigwigs, although they had never seen this person, but they saw his elite armor, and his bearing when he spoke, and listened to his self-proclaimed ......

He didn't say who he was, but the people present were smart people.

Coupled with the previous rumors, it was natural to guess his identity.

When many people saw Liu Jian, they couldn't help but feel a little excited, and many people still had apprehension in their hearts.

No matter what kind of mood these people were in at the moment, but in the face of Liu Jian, they all shut up in unison, and retreated like courtiers.

It's really a strange thing, they had never seen Liu Jian before, and now they are facing him personally, and he hasn't even reported his identity, but these people are all so frightened.

Now Liu Jian has already reached the prestige of a word among them.

After these people left, Liu Jian immediately looked at Liu Bei.

"Brother, the matter is over, you can close the net."

"This Xuzhou will be yours from now on, let's go back to Tancheng."

When Liu Bei heard this, he shook his head and said, "What's mine, this is your Xuzhou, I'm just taking care of it for you, don't talk nonsense." ”

Liu Jian laughed after hearing this, and said, "Okay, it's my Xuzhou, I mean, we can collect the net and go back to Tancheng." ”

"Go back to Tancheng, take care of these new subordinates of yours, from now on, you will have to rely on them to govern Xuzhou."

When Liu Bei heard this, he didn't know why he felt a sense of happiness in his heart.

During the period of taking Xuzhou, although Liu Jian helped, the person on the table was himself.

It can be said that it is he who leads this incident, Liu Xuande.

Liu Bei now has a great sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Of course, he would not forget Liu Jian's kindness, if it weren't for the careful planning of his younger brother, Liu Bei would not have the sense of accomplishment he has today.

Liu Bei sometimes thinks that he doesn't know what virtue he has accumulated, but he can have a good brother like Liu Jian.

"Deran, it's just how should I govern Xuzhou?"

Hearing Liu Bei ask himself so humbly, Liu Jian was very comforted in his heart.

This is his Xuande brother!

At such a critical time, the achievement has been accomplished, but he still does not forget to ask about his next policy.

Obviously, Liu Bei is now more than just wanting to prosper the Han.

He also kept Liu Jian's ideals in mind and put the great cause of the nation in his heart.

"Brother, you are sitting in Xuzhou, first of all, we must figure out the importance of Xuzhou to our future strategy."

"Guangling and Xiapi to the south of Xuzhou, although it is now occupied by Cao Cao, but Cao Cao must not stay here for a long time, I heard that he is now moving the people of Xuzhou on a large scale, although I want to stop him, but now Xuzhou's internal affairs are undecided, so Cao Cao can only succeed for a while."

"However, after this matter is over, Cao Cao's main garrison and defensive attack and defense place is still the land of Yangzhou Jiujiang, and the Xiapi, Pengcheng, Guangling and other places on the front line will become a buffer zone between Xuzhou and the southern forces."

"Militarily, my brother will use these three counties as the front line to build fortifications, of course, not only defense, if we attack south, we must also be able to use these three counties as a pedal at any time."

"For a long time in the future, Xuzhou will be the frontier of our Hebei, the main to the south, and the elder brother is the military and political commander of the south who is in charge of Xuzhou."

"Externally, you have to resist Yuan Cao, and internally, you have to develop Xuzhou like Hebei."

"Since Xuzhou has fallen into our hands, the people of Xuzhou are our people, and we can't let them be treated worse than the people in the north."

"In terms of money and food, I can naturally support my brother, but the local reclamation of tuntian must also be on the agenda."

"My brother also knows that the people take food as the sky, and food and reclaimed land are the most important things."

"Hebei's Tuntian, as well as Dutian, including the matter of rent and mediation, have precedents to follow, and my brother can completely copy them to Xuzhou."

When Liu Bei heard this, he seemed to hesitate: "It's just that the local Wang clan in Xuzhou has made a lot of meritorious contributions in this support, if you want to Tuntian Dutian, I am afraid that it will greatly infringe on the interests of its family, I am only afraid that I don't have your thunderous means to deter the strong clans of Xuzhou." ”

"What if these people collude with Cao Cao in Jiangdong again and cause trouble on the border?"

Liu Jian heard this: "Brother, don't worry, you don't have to worry about this, just let it go, you have the ability, but you must be a little more confident in yourself." ”

"As for your fear that Xuzhou's internal heroes will collude with Cao Cao, you don't have to worry about this."

"As far as I know, Cao Cao is now copying Hebei's strategy, implementing the law of Dutian and Tuntian in Jiangdong, and my brother is touching the interests of the local heroes in Xuzhou, but what Cao Cao has violated in Yangzhou is still the interests of Yangzhou Haoqiang, and the new herdsmen and Zhuhao are grabbing food to eat, and it has become a trend in my Han Dynasty, even if they change Cao Cao to Xuzhou, they will change the soup and not the medicine."

"If they know each other, they will accept it, and if they don't know each other, then use thunderous means to suppress them!"
