Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 527: Siege plan, lobbyist Liu Bei

Hearing this, Tao Qian asked curiously: "Yuanlong, if you have a plan, just say it and stop being secretive."

When Chen Deng saw this, he stopped talking about what was there and what was not there. Instead, he directly offered his advice: "My lord, when Lu Bu returns to help Xiapi, we can let him into the city without resisting."

Tao Qian was puzzled when he heard this and asked: "How can we put him into the city?"

"Don't worry, my lord, Lu Bu's food and grass were originally allocated by you, my lord. If my prediction is correct, the food and grass in Xiapi City will only be enough for Lu Bu's army for half a month."

Chen Deng explained to Tao Qian confidently: "As long as we let Lu Bu into the city, and then the army besieges Xiapi City, Lu Bu will definitely surrender within a month."

"Even if he doesn't surrender, the soldiers under his command will not be able to fight anymore. The worst result is that he will fight to the death to break out. Then we will wait for work and use our huge strength advantage to kill this tiger!"

After Tao Qian heard Chen Deng's plan, he laughed happily: "Okay, with Yuanlong's plan, I feel relieved!"

After praising Chen Deng, Tao Qian called for someone to pass Chen Deng's strategy to Cao Bao.

Soon, Tao Qian followed the plan and implemented the strategy of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao.

Liu Bei, on his side, led a hundred personal guards and came to Mount Tai without stopping, looking for Zang Ba.

Soon, Liu Bei found the camp where Zang Ba was stationed.

As expected, he was stopped at the entrance of the camp and surrounded by hundreds of people.

When Liu Bei saw this, he hurriedly said loudly: "Liu Bei, I'm here to see General Zang Ba. We have something to discuss. There is no ill intention. Please go and report it!"

The leading centurion was at a loss when he heard Liu Bei's words. After all, he had heard of Liu Bei's reputation as a benevolent and righteous uncle.

The centurion couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he said loudly: "You surround them here, I will go to meet the general!"

After saying this, the centurion went to tell Zang Ba the news of Liu Bei's arrival.

After Zang Ba learned that Liu Bei had arrived, he was in a daze for a moment: "Liu Bei? If he isn't staying in Langya, why did he come to me?"

After thinking about it for a while, Zang Ba really couldn't make up his mind, so he planned to go out and meet Liu Bei.

After all, Liu Bei was already well-known at this time, and the other party was still the emperor's uncle, so he couldn't just drive him away or kill him like he did with others.

At this time, the Taishan bandits were entrenched at the junction of the three states of Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou. Including Zang Ba, they were divided into five forces.

The four forces in Qiyu are led by Sun Guan, Yin Li, Wu Dun, and Chang Xi respectively.

Among them, Zang Ba was the strongest and had the most soldiers, so he was also the leader of the Taishan bandits, and the other four families were all under his command.

Zang Ba left the camp and headed straight outside the stronghold.

Although Zang Ba had never seen Liu Bei before, he saw an imposing man sitting on a horse from a distance. Although he was surrounded by soldiers, he did not show any signs of panic.

His ears hang down from his shoulders, and his arms are long and slender. Apart from Liu Bei, there is no one else with such looks.

Zang Ba walked straight towards Liu Bei, smiled and clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that Uncle Liu Huang is here. I missed you from afar. Please atone for your sins."

When Liu Bei saw Zang Ba's coming, he turned directly over the horse, and he said with his fists: "After hearing General Zangba's prestige, when you see it today, it really is worthy of his name!" Please." Zang Ba said and made a gesture of invitation.

Then, Zang Ba looked at his own soldiers and waved his hands lightly: "Okay, let's all disperse. The emperor's uncle is here this time, and you guys are surrounding him like this. How unbecoming it is!"

After receiving Zang Ba's order, the soldiers left separately.

Zang Ba took Liu Bei to his Chinese army tent, invited him to take a seat, and also showed Liu Bei tea.

Then, Zang Ba asked Liu Bei, "I wonder if Uncle Liu Huang has come to my barren land to give you any advice?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly said: "I don't dare to take advice as advice. Bei is here to lobby."

"Oh? Lobbyist? I wonder who the emperor is lobbying for this time?" Zang Ba asked curiously.

"This time, I was entrusted by Tao Qian and Tao Gongzu to ask the general why he allowed his men to plunder in the Xuzhou area?" After Liu Bei asked this question, he took a sip of tea casually.

When Zang Ba heard this, the smile on his face slowly turned into a sneer, and he asked Liu Bei: "Uncle Emperor, do you really not know, or are you just pretending to be confused?"

"This..." Zang Ba's words directly confused Liu Bei, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, Liu Bei reorganized his words and asked in surprise: "I wonder what the general said?"

Zang Ba looked at Liu Bei's confused look and realized that the other party really didn't know that several of his subordinates' camps had been burned down.

So he directly told Liu Bei everything about it.

After saying this, Zang Ba did not forget to complain about Tao Qian: "I had an appointment with Tao Qian before, and we agreed that I would only rob the convoys of the surrounding wealthy families, but he turned a blind eye."

"The result is not good. He actually sent troops to burn down my camp and kill my brothers. If I tolerate him any longer, then my Taishan Army will be disbanded!"

After listening to Zang Ba's words, Liu Bei was also confused: "General, where do you start with this? Brother Gongzu, he only planned to use troops against you today after General you robbed the army."

"Prior to this, Brother Gongzu has never sent anyone to attack the general's camp. I, Liu Bei, dare to risk my life as a guarantee. There must be some misunderstanding!"

Zang Ba looked at Liu Bei's confident look and was a little unsure for a moment.

At this time, Liu Bei began to complain with a wry smile again to win over people's hearts.

"General Zang Ba, to be honest, in preparation for coming here, in addition to being a lobbyist, there is one more thing. I hope General Zang Ba can win."

Zang Ba looked at Liu Bei's wry smile. He was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said, "Uncle, please speak."

"I hope General Zang Ba will not form an alliance with Lu Bu!" Liu Bei looked at Zang Ba with burning eyes and said.

It was Zang Ba's turn to be confused.

Zang Ba looked at Liu Bei blankly and asked with surprise: "Why did the emperor say this? When did I form an alliance with Lu Bu?"

When Liu Bei saw that Zang Ba didn't seem to be lying, he was relieved. Since there was no alliance, things would be easier to handle!
