Three Kingdoms: Sir, you love learning too much!

Chapter 63 Accepted too... too soon, right?
The civil and military forces gathered together, Zhao Yu and Chen Deng were at the top, his father Chen Gui was also invited, and the generals were led by Cao Bao.

In the group of common people, there are Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and others.

There were more than [-] confidants in the crowd, and Liu Bei stood behind the last person, and he didn't make any noise at will.

After Tao Qian woke up, he explained something, asked Chen Gui for a few words, and asked Sun Guan and Yin Li to bring a message to Zang Ba, who was stationed in Kaiyang.

From Chen Deng to Cao Bao, there were entrusted matters, but Sun Qian was not mentioned, as if he was not taken seriously.

Such scenes made Sun Qian secretly sigh with emotion, and sighed in his heart, he already vaguely understood... I am afraid that those things yesterday have already reached the ears of the lord.

The heavy gift from Xiaopei has three carriages, and Zhang Yang enters the city without shyness at all.

Sun Qian thought that Chen Deng and others also had them, but it seems that this is not the case, they may not.

It should be sour.

So what should I do now?With the attitude of the lord, he definitely doubts me. It has been rumored before that his temperament is not as lenient as before.

Thinking about it, it was because of the difficult times these days and the disharmony within the territory.

Xuzhou, in fact, is not peaceful. The tyrants from all over the country have not yet fully surrendered to the lord, and now there are very few people who are by his side after the truce.

If I remember correctly, Ruo Rong was already preparing to flee, Zhao Yu, Xue Li, etc. were also preparing, and under Tao Qian's command, only Chen Deng and other scholars were still making suggestions.

Could it be that I should find another place to go instead of wasting my time here.

While Sun Qian was thinking about it, Tao Qian over there also explained some important tasks of patrolling the city, and entrusted him with the preparation of military rations.

Then he took a look into the crowd, looked past Sun Qian to the place behind him, and called softly: "Dare to ask, has Xuande ever been here?"

Several people looked back, and naturally stepped aside.

Liu Bei, who was wearing a coarse cloth robe and a square scarf, walked up to Tao Qian with his usual expression, cupped his hands, and said, "Xuande is here, what do you want Tao Gong to tell you?"

"Oh, Xuande."

Tao Qian's expression relaxed, he forced a smile on Liu Bei, beckoned him to his bed, held Liu Bei with one hand, and said, "Your benevolence."

"I'm quite famous in the north. When I was calling for Dong, I worked hard in the coalition army, helping the Han people to fight. It's rare to have such a heroic spirit in the world. I, Tao Gongzu, am old and stupid. I offended Cao Cao, the evil star, and implicated many civil and military followers who followed me."

"Now, even though there is a winter truce, he will come again in the coming year. How can he easily abandon him when he comes to avenge his father's death."

"Cao Cao is bound to win Xuzhou's fourth battle..."

"I am no longer able to govern the county and fight against each other, but I know that you are generous, benevolent and righteous, good at fighting and understanding soldiers. Please take Xuzhou for the sake of my people in Xuzhou."

"Xuande, don't refuse. Now among the princes of the past, only you, Liu Xuande, are still running for the Han Dynasty, and those who are not motivated by the desire for profit, please consider my Xuzhou subjects and take over Xuzhou."

"Then, treat my descendants well, even if I die, I will have no regrets..."

Tao Qian patted the back of Liu Bei's hand slowly with one hand, his words were sincere and solemn, and he was already entrusting the funeral.

But when these words came out, Liu Bei felt scared, his back felt cold for no reason, and he subconsciously pulled his hands to refuse.

What's the meaning? !

The current Xuzhou is nothing more than a mess. If I take it over, can I beat Cao Cao?Besides, before Cao Cao left, he wrote a letter without any scruples, stating that he was retiring because of my persuasion.

is he really
Obviously impossible, Cao Cao must have withdrawn his troops because he was running out of supplies, or because he was eager to return to Yanzhou to collect Chenliu and other counties. Before he left, he even wrote a letter with great fanfare to drive a wedge between Liu Bei and Tao Qian.

Liu Bei did not keep the letters privately. Although Tao Qian didn't intend to read them, he still took them out to read together.

There is a sentence mentioned in it, which is "The virtuous brother has a kindness in Xuzhou, and he should be a place to stay." It is as if waiting for Liu Bei to occupy Xuzhou, and then go to Cao Cao to work together.

Tao Qian didn't care about this at the time, but not necessarily now.

Could he be testing me? !

Liu Bei was startled suddenly, and immediately took two steps back, cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Mr. Tao, absolutely not!"

"Xuzhou Mu is ruled by Lord Tao, how can I steal it?! Xuande came here because Lord Tao asked for help. He knew that Yan and Xu were about to go into chaos, so he brought his brothers to warn him."

"Xuande absolutely cannot accept it! If Tao Gong speaks again, he will be forced to go away. Although there is nowhere to go and it is difficult to settle down, Bei must never accept Tao Gong's kindness."

Tao Qian was also stunned for a moment when he said the calm words.

Didn't you come here for me in Xuzhou? !
Although I, Xuzhou, are about to go to war, I can manage it for half a year with your ability, and after it stabilizes, you can get thousands of soldiers and horses. Such a large amount of wealth can be regarded as a thank you gift from me, Tao Qian.

If you ask me for the gift of rushing to help now, I really can't give it.

Xuzhou, there is a shortage of food and grass...

He didn't want to.

"Xuande..."

Tao Qian saw that his gaze was firm, and he did not avoid it, and he already understood Liu Bei's will, so it might be useless to persuade him.

"This... this, Xuande is really a benevolent and righteous man. I, Tao Gongzu, made a reckless move. Then I...then I will set aside a city of Xuzhou and let Xuande settle it first, how about it?"

"This city is close to Xiaopei, which can prevent surprise attacks by Cao's army, and can strictly check whether there are vehicles and horses coming and going. Please prevent Yanzhou from exploring for me. In this way, it will be regarded as my Xuzhou, protecting the environment and the people..."

Um?Who are you talking about? !
Sun Gan was startled while listening, and secretly felt a sense of loss. These words were clearly alluding to me, if you scold me again, I will leave too, believe it or not! ?

Cao Cao promised a lot of money, and I will definitely have a place!
After hearing this, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief immediately, his complexion calmed down a little, and he was no longer as fierce as before, and couldn't avoid it.

"Thank you Tao Gongcheng."

……

The same parliament was also set up in the back hall of the government office a few days later.

But this time, Lu Bu, who was originally stationed in Kaiyang with Zang Ba, was invited.

Although Lu Bu was a guest official, after his arrival, the civil and military personnel in Xuzhou were indeed cheered up.

Then after knowing that he only had a hundred cavalry and that he was defeated by the Puyang army behind Yanzhou and came to vote, he quickly fell into a state of extreme panic.

In the hall, after Tao Qian had listened to the reports from various places, as well as the civil and military internal affairs, he invited Lu Bu to come before him, held his hand as well, and said that sentence.

"Please consider for my Xuzhou subjects and take over as Xuzhou Mu."

"I will live up to it, Tao Gong entrusted me!"

Lu Bu excitedly held Tao Qian's hand.

At this moment, Tao Qian's old and thin face trembled fiercely, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously for some reason.

Also, I promised too soon...

Lu Bu patted the back of his hand twice again, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Feng Xian will lead his army to defend Xuzhou to the death, and prevent that thief Cao Cao from crossing the border."

"This, ok... ok, then, I'll leave it all to Junhou..."
