Three Kingdoms: Do you call this a weak counselor? !

Chapter 68 Don’t want to be decent?Then I'll help you look decent.

"Mr. Yuanlong, the situation is critical. What should Xuzhou do next?"

Tao Qian, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked even older at this time, as if his life was exhausted.

Originally, Tao Qian could survive for a while, and his condition would never be as serious as it is now.

But this time the defeat was too complete and the situation was critical.

He was frightened all the way, and his condition became more serious due to the shock and excitement.

Chen Deng said:
"I originally thought that there would be chaos in Yanzhou, and Cao Cao's traitors would withdraw their troops.

But who would have thought that the crisis in Yanzhou had just begun and it had already been resolved!
Cao Cao is bound to win Xuzhou.

It’s really difficult to resist it..."

Tao Qian felt even heavier after hearing Chen Deng's words.

Even talented people like Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong are powerless to deal with the current situation.

That shows that the situation in Xuzhou is really bad to a certain extent.

"But my lord, there may be some way to save it at this time."

Hearing Chen Deng's words, Tao Qian became more energetic again.

Looking at Chen Deng, I hope Chen Deng will speak quickly.

Chen Deng said:
"This method is... My lord, why not give up the post of Xuzhou Mu to Liu Bei.

And fully support Liu Bei in becoming the new Xuzhou Mu.

Liu Bei is not an ordinary person, he has talents and skills.

The reason why the defeat was so miserable this time was mainly because I misjudged the situation.

But the situation was so critical at that time, and Liu Bei was still able to rush out and save his life. This is enough to show how extraordinary this person is.

More importantly, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun under his command are all powerful generals.

If Liu Bei can be made the Mu of Xuzhou, things may be very different in Xuzhou next. "

After hearing Chen Deng's words, Tao Qian nodded after thinking for a while.

He said that he would act according to Chen Deng's words.

He also asked Chen Deng to help him call Liu Bei.

Half a day later, Liu Bei appeared in front of Tao Qian.

After saying a few words, Tao Qian asked people to take out Xuzhou Mu's seal and give it to Liu Bei.

Let Liu Bei become the new Xuzhou Mu.

Seeing this, Liu Bei immediately refused and refused to accept the post of Xuzhou Shepherd.

Tao Qian tried to persuade him, and Chen Deng and others nearby also tried to persuade him, but Liu Bei refused.

Tao Qian and others continued to persuade him, but in the end Liu Bei did not grant the seal of Xuzhou Mu.

After everyone left, Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao Shang, came to Tao Qian and watched Tao Qian kneel down and cry.

Tao Qian glanced at his son and said:

"Why are you crying?"

Tao Shang said:
"I feel sad that my father's illness has not been cured for a long time."

When Tao Qian heard this, he glared at him and said:

"I think you are crying because I did not leave Xuzhou Mu to you, but gave it to Liu Bei and Liu Xuande!"

The potter just cried and didn't say much about it.

This undoubtedly confirmed that what Tao Qian said was correct.

Tao Qian glanced at his son and said with a bit of resentment:

"Do you know why I didn't give you the position of Xuzhou Mu?
You don’t even have a look at what’s going on in Xuzhou now.

There is nothing I can do about this situation.

With your talent, are you really qualified to serve as Xuzhou Shepherd?
I'm afraid that it will be swallowed up soon, and nothing will be left, not even the skin or bones.

Liu Bei is not bad and has certain talents.

If he becomes Xuzhou Mu, the ending for you, mother, son, brothers and others will not be too miserable.

He will at least preserve your glory and wealth.

Also, this Xuzhou Mu, do you think I can’t give way now?

Chen Deng and others have clearly stated their support for Liu Bei.

Under such circumstances, Yi Bao can still have the last dignity.

Hello, I'm well, everyone is well!
If you don't give in, I'm afraid you and I, father and son, will lose even the last bit of dignity!

Stand up for me quickly!
Don't cry here, I'm not dead yet!
Today I will explain it clearly to you.

Xuzhou Mu belongs to Liu Bei, don't think too much about it.

With your talent, taking over Xuzhou Mu will be a disaster rather than a blessing. "

The potter originally had much more to say.

But at this time, I heard Tao Qian's words.

I saw my father again, showing signs of anger.

So he swallowed the rest of his words.

After waiting here for a while, he left here amidst Tao Qian's driving.

After watching his eldest son leave, Tao Qian couldn't help but sigh secretly.

With his son like this, he is really not qualified to be a pastor in Xuzhou.

And he wanted to give Xuzhou Mu to Liu Bei.

In addition to what he just said to the pottery merchant, there is another very important reason.

That is the current situation in Xuzhou, which is precarious.

He himself felt very tired and wanted to get rid of the mess...

Liu Bei, on the other hand, was unwilling to take over Xuzhou as pastor, and he also felt that Xuzhou was now in a mess.

He didn't know how to face Cao Cao and how to defend Xuzhou after taking over Xuzhou.

Two days later, Tao Qian once again asked Liu Bei to take over the post of Xuzhou Mu, but Liu Bei still refused.

Three days later, Tao Qian became seriously ill.

When he was critically ill, someone called Liu Bei again.

Then let Xuzhou.

Liu Bei still refused.

Tao Qian was already at the end of his life, but later on, he could no longer speak.

In the end, he could only point one finger to Liu Bei and the other to Xuzhou Mu's seal and die.

"Liu Shijun, please take over the post of Xuzhou Mu!

If you don't take Xuzhou Mu down, Xuzhou will really have no way to resist Cao Cao's thieves.

And Mr. Tao will die with his eyes closed! "

Chen Deng spoke out to persuade.

Liu Bei let out a long sigh, and after bowing respectfully to Tao Qian's corpse, he finally took over the seal representing Xuzhou Mu.

He also said that he would first take charge of Xuzhou Mu.

From now on, if there are talented people, they will come to Xuzhou.

He will hand over the pastoral care of Xuzhou to others and abdicate in favor of talents.

Liu Bei became the shepherd of Xuzhou. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's people were very happy and congratulated Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was in a good mood.

Although Xuzhou now.It looks stormy.

But he eventually became Xuzhou Mu.

For the time being, we have a certain foundation here in Xuzhou.

However, his happiness did not last long.

Because after he was happy, he needed to face the extremely difficult situation in front of him.

No matter how he thought about it, he felt that he could not break the situation.

If it weren't for Zhang Cheng to turn the tide in Yanzhou and protect Cao Cao's retreat.

Then he still has a lot of room for maneuver here.

But now, with the emergence of Zhang Cheng, many things that he could have done have been blocked.

Liu Bei began to meet frequently with Chen Deng and the leading figures in Xuzhou to build relationships.

As quickly as possible, control the power Tao Qian left behind.

This matter went quite smoothly...

On this day, Liu Bei had just sent Chen Deng away, but Zhao Yun came in a hurry.

And brought a piece of news that made Liu Bei feel extremely heavy... "Zilong."

Liu Bei stood up and went outside to greet Zhao Yun.

There was a smile on his face.

But what Zhao Yun said next made Liu Bei smile.It disappeared all of a sudden.

"Liu Shijun, Yun came here this time to say goodbye to Liu Shijun."

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and asked Zhao Yun why he was so good, and suddenly said goodbye to him.

Zhao Yun cried and said:
"I just got the news that my brother...my brother passed away unfortunately.

My brother treats me very well. My parents died young and it was my brother who raised me up.

He is said to be an elder brother, but he is said to be his parents.

My brother passed away unfortunately, and I really can't stay here any longer.

I must go back, see my brother for the last time, and keep my brother's filial piety. "

Liu Bei originally wanted to make more noise to persuade Zhao Yun to stay and try not to let Zhao Yun leave.

After all, he liked Zhao Yun very much.

He has always wanted to get Zhao Yun into his hands.

But after hearing Zhao Yun say these words, he couldn't even say anything to persuade him to stay.

Except sighing secretly.Brother Zhao Yun died unexpectedly, so he could only comfort Zhao Yun and agree to Zhao Yun's departure.

And prepare to hold a farewell banquet for Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun rejected Liu Bei's kindness.

“When I learned that my brother had passed away, my heart was as sharp as a knife, and my heart was as fast as an arrow.

I couldn't wait to come to my brother's side immediately, not wanting to delay for a moment, so there was no need for a farewell party. "

As Zhao Yun spoke, he solemnly saluted Liu Bei with clasped fists, then got on his horse and rode away.

Liu Bei stood here and bid farewell to Zhao Yun in tears...

……

"Liu Shijun, you should not let Zhao Yun leave.

Zhao Yun is a man of great martial arts. If he can be kept by his side, it will be a great help.

I heard that Zhao Yun had a good impression of the various policies implemented by Cao Cao.

Once he is allowed to leave this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to be used by Liu Shijun in the future.

There is a high possibility that he will become an enemy of Liu Shijun.

How about sending people to intercept and kill him on the road at this time, and eliminate future troubles forever. "

Chen Deng turned around from the side and looked at Liu Bei saying this with murderous intent in his eyes.

Liu Bei thought for a moment after hearing this, shook his head and said:
"Forget it, Mr. Yuanlong.

Zilong and Bei have known each other for a long time.

And this time, he came with me to Xuzhou, and he has been conscientious and loyal to his duties. He has never owed me anything, and it is unjust for me to kill him.

What's more, he left this time to attend the funeral for his brother. "

Chen Deng shook his head and said:
"Who knows if his brother is really dead?"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly nodded.

“I believe in Zilong.

Zilong is a loyal person.

Never make fun of your loved ones. "

When Chen Deng saw that Liu Bei could not be persuaded, he couldn't help but sighed secretly:

"In the future, I'm afraid Liu Shijun will regret today's decision."

Liu Bei shook his head and said:
"Even if Zilong really becomes my enemy in the future, I will not regret today's decision."

Seeing this, Chen Deng once again couldn't help but secretly shake his head and sigh.

I feel that Liu Bei is too kind and too mother-in-law.

But then, a smile appeared on his face again.

It is precisely because of this kindness that people can feel more confident about doing things with him.

The two of them changed the topic away from Zhao Yun.

Later, I started to talk about the current situation and looked for ways to break it.

Now Cao Cao has begun to work hard to manage the many places he conquered.

The situation in Xuzhou now seems relatively stable.

However, this is only temporary.

As Cao Cao gradually ate up the Xuzhou lands he had newly captured.

Then a more violent attack will inevitably be launched.

By then, Cao Cao, whose strength has greatly increased, will be even more difficult to deal with.

When talking about this matter, even Chen Deng felt a little depressed and had no good solution.

After all, Cao Cao strictly followed the benevolent policies that Zhang Cheng had mentioned to him before.

Take one step at a time and don't rush.

Cao Cao himself had strong soldiers and horses, but now he was as steady as an old dog, making every move.

They don't have much chance at all.

Whenever they discuss these matters with Chen Deng, Chen Deng and Liu Bei can't help but think of Zhang Cheng.

How wonderful it would be if there was no Zhang Cheng!

It will definitely be much easier for them to deal with Cao Cao!

It won't be as difficult as it is now.

Compared with Liu Bei, Chen Deng and others' frowns, Cao Cao was in an unusually cheerful mood.

The smile on his face basically never stopped.

He had such a great time fighting this battle, it really was so great!

Xuzhou is about to be pushed aside!
Now, temporarily stopping the offensive is just to consolidate the benefits already obtained.

As long as he consolidates the territory he has occupied.

Then you will accumulate greater strength, and use an upright division to carry unrivaled momentum and crush it!
Get the rest of Xuzhou into your hands.

This feeling of being invincible and crushing the enemy.

This was something he had never experienced before.

Now, as soon as he experienced it, he was immediately obsessed with it.

Talk.He was able to have such a good experience, and Zhang Cheng played an irreplaceable role in it.

After his expedition to Xuzhou is over, he must reward Mr. Gaojiu well!
Originally, Cao Cao had already thought of a reward for Zhang Cheng in his heart.

But now, after Zhang Cheng tried his best to turn the tide and stabilize the situation in Yanzhou, and he used a trick to directly capture most of Xuzhou, Cao Cao's thoughts changed again.

He found that the rewards he had thought of at the beginning were too low and could not match Zhang Cheng's achievements.

So we need to think better again. .

It made him want to appear distressed.

In recent times, Cao Cao has been thinking about this matter when he has nothing to do.

Thinking about what to do to give Zhang Cheng a surprise.

It can make Zhang Cheng sincerely convinced and work for him more loyally in the future.

After thinking about it for several days, Cao Cao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a very good idea.

The more I think about it, the more I think this method is good.

He decided immediately that after the Battle of Xuzhou was over and he returned to Yanzhou, he would implement it immediately.

I think when that time comes, Mr. Gao Jiu will definitely be very happy after knowing the reward he gave him!

This is the first time that Zhang Cheng can make Cao Cao so worried and rack his brains to reward him.

Next, Cao Cao's side quickly conquered Xuzhou.

As for Tao Qian's death and Liu Bei succeeding Tao Qian as the Mu of Xuzhou, Cao Cao already knew about it, but he didn't take it to heart.

Because of the strategy Zhang Cheng had set for him, no matter who became Xuzhou Mu, there was no way to make a comeback.

Xuzhou, he is determined! !

Pushing forward in time, the place came to Yanzhou, when Zhang Cheng led Dian Wei and others to support Cao Hong and prepare to fight against Lu Bu.

"Sir, you must let me take action against Lu Bu this time!"

Dian Wei held two iron halberds and looked at Zhang Cheng to plead.
