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

Liu Bei said to Tao Qian: "Brother Gongzu, you are fine. You are here because of Lu Bu's affairs!"

"I..." Hearing this, Tao Qian was about to say that he was here because of Cao Ang's affairs.

As a result, Liu Bei spoke first again.

I saw Liu Bei holding Tao Qian's wrist and saying with a smile on his face: "Brother Gongzu, Bei already knows that your general Cao Bao defeated Lu Bu in Xiapi City."

"It's just a pity that Lu Bu escaped. It would be great if we could take the opportunity to catch him."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, Tao Qian fell silent.

After a while, Tao Qian saw that Liu Bei had stopped talking, and then he suddenly said: "Cao Jun is here!"

Hearing Tao Qian's words, Liu Bei's smile froze on his face.

Then, Liu Bei stopped smiling and asked Tao Qian, "Brother Gongzu, what do you mean?"

"Because the imperial court was preparing to intervene in our attack on Lu Bu, Cao's army came to Xuzhou. It seems that the Cao family is preparing to attack us this time."

Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei with a serious face. He knew that Xuzhou was the place where Liu Bei established himself.

If he were here, there would still be room for Liu Bei to survive.

But if Xuzhou is occupied by the Cao family, then with Cao Ang's character, Xuzhou will definitely not leave Liu Bei as a hidden danger.

Tao Qian hoped to use this to persuade Liu Bei to join forces with him to fight against Cao's army.

After Liu Bei listened to Tao Qian's words, he said with a puzzled face: "Brother Gongzu, I have always heard that the young general Cao Ang is famous for his benevolence and righteousness. Is there any misunderstanding in this?"

When Tao Qian heard this, he shook his head and said, "Xuande, what misunderstanding allowed Cao Ang to lead an army of 300,000 people into Xuzhou?"

"This..." Liu Bei was speechless for a moment.

Tao Qian spoke again: "Xuande, I came here just because I hope you can join forces with me to fight against Cao Jun!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he hesitated. After a while, he finally spoke: "Brother Gongzu, I still feel that there must be some misunderstanding. If possible, I would like to visit Cao Ying!"

"What are you doing in Cao Ying?" Tao Qian asked Liu Bei with a surprised look on his face.

Liu Bei spoke up and said, "Brother Gongzu, Bei has a personal relationship with the Major General, and now he is willing to be a lobbyist to persuade him to withdraw his troops!"

When Tao Qian heard this, he was very moved. After all, he knew that if he really went to war with Cao's army, he would not be able to win the battle with his remaining Xuzhou army.

However, he was still worried that Liu Bei would fail, so he continued to ask: "If Cao Ang doesn't retreat, what will Xuande do?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he cupped his hands towards Tao Qian and said, "Brother Gongzu, Bei must be on your side."

"With your words, I feel relieved." Tao Qian felt relieved after receiving Liu Bei's answer.

Tao Qian spent the whole night repairing here in Langya before setting off back to Pengcheng.

……

On the other side, after a long journey, Chen Deng also came to Mount Tai and found Zang Ba.

After Chen Deng saw Zang Ba, he bowed his hands and said, "General Zang Ba, we meet again." Zang Ba saw Chen Deng coming, and said politely: "It turns out to be Mr. Yuan Long. Come on, please take a seat." !”

The two of them were making a living in Xuzhou together. Zang Ba was considered the overlord in Xuzhou, and Chen Deng was from the Chen family and worked under Tao Qian. Naturally, the two of them had met many times before.

Chen Deng cupped his hands in front of Zang Ba and sat down on the side seat instead of taking a seat.

Zang Ba didn't say much about this, he just walked to his seat and sat down, then looked at Chen Deng.

"Mr. Yuanlong, what are you doing in a remote place like mine when you're not staying in your Pengcheng?" Zang Ba looked at Chen Deng and asked with a smile.

Originally, when Zang Ba said this sentence, it was slightly sarcastic.

And Chen Deng was not an idiot, so he could naturally hear the sarcasm in Zang Ba's words.

However, facing Zang Ba's ridicule, Chen Deng did not change his expression. After all, he was here to persuade the other party to join forces with his lord to fight against Cao Jun.

If we start talking about the serious matter and fall out, even the joint fight against Cao will fall through.

I saw Chen Deng cupping his hands in front of Zang Ba and saying: "General Zang Ba is joking. If I don't come this time, not only will I not be able to stay in Pengcheng safely in the future, but I am afraid that you, the general, will not be able to continue to be stable." I’ll stay in the Taishan area.”

When Zang Ba heard what Chen Deng said, the smile on his face froze.

After a while, Zang Ba turned to Chen Deng with a displeased face and said, "Chen Yuanlong, what do you mean by this?"

Before, Liu Bei came as a lobbyist and stopped the relationship between Zang Ba and Tao Qian.

But what Chen Deng said now made Zang Ba unable to sit still. Could it be that after Tao Qian defeated Lu Bu, he would take action against himself?

When Zang Ba thought of this, he couldn't help but scold Liu Bei in his heart for not keeping his word.

Chen Deng looked at Zang Ba who didn't know what he was thinking, and couldn't help but ask: "What is the general thinking?"

Hearing this, Zang Ba responded with a cold face: "Of course I'm thinking about how to deal with your lord!"

"Ah?" Chen Deng looked at Zang Ba in surprise, not understanding why the other party said such things.

But Chen Deng reacted quickly. He immediately realized that Zang Ba had misunderstood.

So Chen Deng hurriedly explained: "General Zang Ba, I think you have misunderstood me!"

"Misunderstanding?" Zang Ba asked slightly puzzled.

When Chen Deng saw this, he continued to explain: "Yes, I am telling you that the reason why General Zang Ba cannot stay safely in Mount Tai in the future is because Cao Ang brought an army of 300,000 to station in Xuzhou!"

As soon as Zang Ba heard that Cao Ang had marched into Xuzhou with an army of 300,000 men, he immediately became dizzy.

Although the Taishan Army under his command is also known as 300,000, even if the strength of the troops is the same, the quality of the soldiers, how can it compare with the brave and capable Cao Army?

You know, the current Cao army is a real army that has fought a hundred battles, and has fought all kinds of battles.

As for the Taishan Army under his command, although he calls himself the Taishan Army, they are actually bandits. If a war really breaks out, it would be great to have 100,000 soldiers who can be mobilized normally!

After a moment of palpitations, Zang Ba looked at Chen Deng and asked, "Mr. Yuanlong, you came to me this time to resist Cao Jun?"

"Yes, this is what my lord meant!" Chen Deng nodded heavily.

But Zang Ba on the side frowned, not knowing what he was thinking. (End of chapter)
