Han Shimou

Liu Bei just smiled lightly, and after the banquet started, he sat beside Chen Deng with acquaintances, toasting or finding topics for conversation with him, always showing his goodwill.

After the banquet, Tao Qian suddenly invited Liu Bei to sit on the table, but Liu Bei refused, Tao Qian insisted on inviting, Liu Bei had no choice but to obey.

"I'm old, my two sons are not talented, and I can't bear the heavy responsibility of the country. Liu Gong is the young man of the imperial family, with great virtue and talent, and is not afraid of power. If he hadn't solved Xuzhou's crisis this time, the consequences would be disastrous. I hope Liu Gong can take over Xuzhou. I am willing to beg for leisure recuperate."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in all seats.Liu Bei's face was shocked, and there was a huge wave in his heart. The palms of his hands were sweating, and he hurriedly paid homage to Tao Qian.

"Bei came to save Xuzhou because of righteousness. Now that there is no reason for it, the world will have a heart for it. I also hope that Tao Gong will take back his order, and Bei will never accept it!"

When Tao Qian heard this, he immediately cast his eyes on Kong Rong.Kong Rong understood it and said.

"The mausoleum of the Han Dynasty is late, and Haiyu is overthrown. As the heir of the Han Dynasty, Liu Gong, why not take advantage of this to build a career, accumulate power, and work hard to save the country? Xuzhou is wealthy and has a household registration of one million. Liu Shijun leads this, so why not worry about his great success?"

Liu Bei secretly observed the reactions of Xuzhou's civil and military forces around him. Seeing that their faces gradually showed anticipation, his heart beat faster, but he still said.

"Tao Gong, it is orthodox to be governed by the emperor's order to govern Xuzhou. How can Bei replace it. I dare not obey orders in this matter."

Tao Qian saw that Liu Bei was still unwilling, his face was slightly anxious, and he turned his eyes to Chen Deng again.Chen Deng listened to Liu Bei's words silently, his eyes had been fixed on Liu Bei's just now, as if he wanted to see through Liu Bei.And when Tao Qian looked over, Chen Deng pondered for a while, then opened his mouth to speak.

"Mr. Tao is sick and can't take things seriously, but Mr. Tao is willing to give up Xuzhou, which shows that he deeply believes in the virtue of Duke Ming. As for the orthodox theory, as long as Mr. Tao writes a letter and asks the court for instructions, that's all. I hope you will not say goodbye."

When Chen Deng spoke, Liu Bei's eyes were extremely bright, and he listened carefully.If he wants to stabilize Xuzhou in the future, Chen Deng is the key!And when Liu Bei heard that Chen Deng's words were a bit off-putting, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and secretly thought that if Chen Deng was unwilling to be convinced, the matter of Xuzhou would have to be postponed for the time being.After thinking about it, he evaded again. <, why not give it up with the state? "

A few months ago, after the truce between Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Sun Jian, Sun Jian captured Yangzhou. Although Liu Biao had great talent, he only knew how to defend one side, so he didn't move.As for Yuan Shu, he has always been afraid of Sun Jian and regards him as his biggest opponent in the struggle for hegemony in the south.So while Sun Jian attacked Yangzhou, he attacked Huainan County, and the tiger occupied Shouchun.Yuan Shu got Runan, Nanyang, and Huainan. The three counties are all vast and wealthy counties, and the combined area is almost comparable to Xuzhou. Moreover, the people in these three places are rich and rich in food. Yuan Shu is so famous that no one in the south dares to touch Its tiger beard.

Kong Rong did not have a good impression of Yuan Shu, and said bluntly.

"The dead bones in Yuan Gonglu's tomb do not respect benevolence and righteousness. It is shameless to invade Yangzhou with unreasonable soldiers. Sooner or later, these benevolent and unrighteous people will be attacked by the princes of the world. What a shame! Today's matter, God will not take it, regret it Do not chase."

After Liu Bei listened, he hesitated, so he kept silent, but his eyes were always paying close attention to the faces of the people around him.Seeing that Liu Bei still refused, Tao Qian looked up to the sky and shouted.

"If you leave me alone, Xuzhou will be devoured by a strong tiger, and I will die in peace!"

At this time, Pan Feng couldn't bear it anymore, and opened his mouth to persuade.

"Since inheriting from Mr. Tao, brother has the power to lead the state affairs. In this way, it can also solve Xuzhou's worries and the worries of the people!"

"It's not that I force his state and county. He kindly gave in, so why bother to refuse!"

Zhang Feiweng said the same thing in a low voice.Unexpectedly, Liu Bei stared, pointing at Zhang Fei and cursing.

"Shut up third brother!! Are you trying to trap me in unrighteousness?"

Seeing that Liu Bei was suddenly angry, Zhang Fei was very innocent, and he didn't dare to refute, so he shut his mouth angrily.Later, Tao Qian gave way again and again, but Liu Bei just didn't accept it.And everyone in Xuzhou wanted to keep Liu Bei behind, and they all persuaded him.Liu Bei is like a hunter who is cooking his prey. Seeing that the prey is almost ready, he reluctantly agrees to stay and assist Tao Qian in managing Xuzhou.Tao Qian is overjoyed, as long as Liu Bei is willing to stay, in time, he is not afraid that he will not take over Xuzhou.When Chen Deng heard that Liu Bei agreed to stay in Xuzhou temporarily, there was an inexplicable light in his eyes, as if he understood something.

After that, Tao Qian gradually handed over state affairs to Liu Bei one by one, and handed over his power to Liu Bei little by little. Gathered in Liu Bei's hands.

However, Cao Cao led the army back to Yanzhou. At that time, Li Cui and Guo Bang had just started fighting.Cao Cao thought it was not the right time, and many soldiers just finished the battle in Xuzhou and needed to rest.Immediately, the soldiers were allowed to rest for a period of time. At the same time, soldiers and horses who had not participated in the Xuzhou battle were recruited from all over Yanzhou.

What Cao Cao didn't expect was that when he was in Xuzhou, Yanzhou locusts suddenly appeared and ate up all the rice.One dendrobium per grain is as expensive as gold. In addition to the Xuzhou war, Cao Cao used a lot of grain.

Chang'an and his party, Cao Cao must go for the sake of the future.But there is no food for soldiers and horses, so it is impossible to be a director.Cao Cao was worried about this day and night, and when Xun Yu arrived, he hurriedly consulted with him.

"There is a shortage of food this year, and the matter of Chang'an must not be delayed. I wonder if Wen Ruo can have a plan to solve the food shortage?"

Before Xun Yu came, he knew what Cao Cao was worried about, and he had already thought of a plan. After pondering for a while, he said the plan he had thought of earlier.

"I heard that in the area of ​​Chendi there are He Yi, Huang Shao, and others from the Yellow Turban Remnant Party. The thieves plundered the prefectures and counties. There were many gold silks, food, and such thieves, and they were easy to break. They took the food to prepare for the affairs of Chang'an. Joy, the people are happy, and it can relieve the Lord's current worries, which is a matter of heaven."

When Cao Cao heard this, his slender and sharp eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded in agreement.Dian Wei and Cao Hong were called immediately, and the soldiers who were going to be transferred from Yanzhou would lead the troops to Chendi three days later.

Cao Cao has always acted vigorously and resolutely, and the military orders are strict, and orders must be followed.Including Cao Cao, and all the soldiers under his command are strict about themselves, so none of the soldiers dare to slow down.As soon as the decree came, all the soldiers and horses that went out quickly assembled, and under the leadership of Cao Cao, Dian Wei, and Cao Hong, they rushed to Chendi.

A few days later, He Yi and Huang Shao, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party, knew that Cao Bing had arrived.Although there were many thieves and soldiers at that time, they were all foxes and dogs, mobs, no ranks, and the formation was messy.Cao cao rode his horse and watched for a while before the formation, and he had a way to defeat the enemy.Shiling Cao Hong led the front army commander gunmen and sword shield soldiers to attack. Cao Hong waved his sword and roared like a black leopard crawling, rushing to the front.The bravery of the general inspired the soldiers to fight. The soldiers behind Cao Hong were all like wolves and tigers, brandishing their weapons and following behind Cao Hong.Cao Cao once again leaned on the sword of heaven and ordered the soldiers of the Chinese army to shoot with their bows and crossbows the rushing thieves.Immediately, the arrows and crossbows, like flint missiles, fell wildly into the bandits' formation, shooting the bandits upside down and into chaos.Cao Hong took advantage of the turmoil of the thieves and sped up his speed again and again. First, he rushed into the crowd of thieves.The soldiers who came later took advantage of Cao Hong's bravery, stabbed or chopped with weapons, and killed the thief in front for a while.Cao Cao squinted his eyes, listening to the thieves' endless screams, as if he was enjoying a beautiful tune.

Yi Tianjian moved slowly again, and Dian Wei behind Cao Cao laughed eagerly, grinning with his whole mouth wide open, shouted loudly, slapped his horse, and led all the cavalry behind him to charge.Dian Wei brandished a pair of iron halberds, and with gusts of fierce wind, he rushed faster and faster, in a flash, he was seen entering the gangster's chaotic circle.Dian Wei danced wildly with his double halberds in an impenetrable way, forming a forbidden area of ​​death around him. As he continued to move, the thieves were scattered, split or stabbed by countless swift halberd lights, and their deaths were extremely terrifying. .

Cao Bing ran into the flock like tigers, blindly slaughtering the thieves.Especially the cavalry led by Dian Wei, under Dian Wei's continuous charge like a violent storm, they killed faster and faster, a bloody road opened up in the crowd of thieves, and almost killed the rear army of the thieves.He Yi was afraid that Dian Wei would be killed, so he quickly ordered the little leader to lead a cavalry army to stop him. The little leader got the order and immediately led an army to gallop towards Dianwei's place.Dian Wei was fighting vigorously, when he saw a small leader coming, the hunger and thirst in his eyes suddenly swelled, he patted his horse to meet him, and rushed to the little leader, only to hear Dian Wei's sudden roar, like the sound of a dragon running, The little leader almost fell off his horse in fright.Dian Wei took the opportunity to stretch out his huge arm, grabbed the head of the little boss with one hand, pulled it suddenly, and fell to the ground.The little boss didn't have time to scream, and he collided violently with the ground, his head exploded on the spot, and his death was extremely terrifying.Dian Wei's fierceness immediately frightened the surrounding thieves out of their wits.

At this time Dian Wei suddenly turned around and looked at He Yi, showing an inexplicable smile, which made He Yi feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and her whole body was extremely cold, and she saw Dian Wei galloping in her direction again, and never again. Unable to stop his fear, Rama fled.Following He Yi's escape, the remaining thieves no longer had the will to fight, and fled back as if retreating from a tide.Cao Bing took advantage of the momentum to chase and hide the kill, and after killing the thief out of Yangshan, Cao Cao ordered to stop the fighting and temporarily set off in Yangshan.

The next day, He Yi was still in shock and dared not come to fight.Huang Shao didn't know the terror of Cao's soldiers, so he led his troops to Caozhai to fight.At the circle of the formation, a general went out to fight on foot, with a yellow scarf on his head, a green jacket on his body, and an iron rod in his hand. He was very mighty and yelled loudly.

"I am Jietian Yasha He Manye! Who dares to fight with me?"

Cao Cao was in front of the formation, looking at Cao Hong with a playful smile.Cao Hong comprehended, shouted loudly, flew off his horse, raised his knife and stepped out, rushing towards He Man.He Man's body was somewhat bigger than Cao Hong's, and he sneered coldly, insinuating that Cao Hong was overreaching, and swung an iron rod to meet him.The two men's sabers and sticks collided with each other, and there was a loud bang. After that, Cao Hong retreated three steps in a row, while He Man retreated more than six or seven steps in a row.In the battle of strength, who is strong and who is weak can be known at a glance.The corners of Cao Hong's mouth turned up, and his eyes were full of disdain. Seeing this, He Man felt an open fire burning. He rushed to Cao Hong immediately, and the iron rod slammed down like a giant mountain, but Cao Hong turned around and quickly avoided it. .Afterwards, the two of you fought with each other with a knife and a stick, and fought twenty or thirty rounds, with neither winner nor loser.

Cao Hong knew that He Man was skilled in martial arts, and it would be difficult to take it lightly when confronted head-on, so he had a plan in mind, and suddenly pretended to be powerless, and was defeated by He Manlian and left.How could He Man spare Cao Hong and come immediately.Cao Hong sneered behind him, turned around suddenly, and slashed He Man's right arm with a stick, cutting off the whole right arm bloody.He Man screamed, his whole face was almost distorted in pain, at this time Cao Hong cut He Man's face again, He Man's face was split in two, and he died on the spot.
