The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 719 Know Liu Xuande?
In the second year of Xingping in the Han Dynasty, [-] AD.

In the name of avenging his father, Cao Cao, the shepherd of Yanzhou, launched a crusade against Xuzhou.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was shocked when he learned of this, and sent someone to arrest Zhang Kai, the real murderer of Cao's father. However, after killing Cao Song, Zhang Kai took away the money and disappeared long ago.

In desperation, Tao Qian had no choice but to send envoys to meet Cao Cao, explain the misunderstanding, and ask Cao Cao to calm down.

But how could Cao Cao listen to this side of the story, and refused to allow Tao Qian's request, and insisted on launching an attack.

As a result, the two sides launched a fierce attack on Pengcheng in Xuzhou.

Tao Qian is old and has no generals under his command. How can he be Cao Cao's opponent? In just over a month, Cao Cao captured the city.

Tao Qian had no choice but to retreat to Xiapi, but before his butt was hot, Cao Cao came after him and launched a fierce attack again.Seeing this, Tao Qian had no choice but to abandon Xiapi, and continued to retreat, retreating all the way north to Tan County, before gaining a firm foothold.

Cao Cao attacked Tan, but could not defeat him.

Then they took the surrounding counties, Li, Juling, Xiaqiu and other places, and all the people in the city were slaughtered.Whoever killed 10 men and women, leaving no chickens or dogs, and the Surabaya River was not left behind, so he was the city protection of the five counties, and there was no trace of them.

From time to time, Chen Gui, a famous scholar from Xuzhou, came to see Cao Cao.

"Today I heard that the Duke of Ming came to Xuzhou with a large army to avenge his father, and killed the people wherever he went, so I came here to speak. Tao Qian is a gentleman, not a person who loves profit and forgets righteousness; the murder of his father is Zhang Kai's evil, not Humility is also a crime. And the people of the prefectures and counties, what enmity do you have with Minggong? It is ominous to kill. Please think twice."

It's a pity that Cao Cao didn't listen at all at this time. Instead, he ordered Chen Gui to be thrown out of the camp, and said to each other: "Tao Qian sent troops to kill my father. This feud is irreconcilable! I have now raised an army to wash Xuzhou, Fang Xuewu hates it!"

Chen Gui went back and told Tao Qian about the matter, Tao Qian cried out sadly: "I have been guilty of the crime of God, and caused the people of Xuzhou to suffer such a catastrophe!"

"Now, Cao's soldiers are in great danger. I can only go to Cao Ying and let him cut me up, so as to save the lives of the people in Xuzhou." Tao Qian said.

As soon as the words fell, someone in the hall stood up and said: "The Lord has been in Xuzhou for a long time, and the people are grateful. Although there are many Cao soldiers today, they have not been able to break through Tan County. The Lord and the people will not go out; although a certain is not talented, he is willing to go to Beihai. Go get reinforcements."

According to Tao Qian, the person who offered the plan was a native of Qu County, Donghai. His surname was Mi, his first name was Zhu, and his courtesy name was Zizhong.The family has a huge amount of money, so don't drive to work under his account.

After Mi Zhu finished speaking, Chen Deng, Lieutenant of the Diannong School, got up and said, "Mi Zizhong is right, how can we just sit and wait for death. Although I am not talented, I would like to go to Qingzhou, and I ask Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, to send troops to reinforce Xuzhou."

This may be the last chance.

Of course Tao Qian didn't want to give up, don't look at what he said just now, it was just a means to buy people's hearts.

To be able to sit in the position of a big official in one side of the border, who is not a ruthless person who climbed up by stepping on countless corpses, and no one is Yi Yi's generation.

If it doesn't work, Tao Qian can escape back to his hometown in Danyang to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Of course, this is the worst plan.

Now that Mi Zhu and Chen Deng asked for their lives, Tao Qian was very happy in his heart, but his face was extremely excited, and he said excitedly: "Okay! Xuzhou's life is all on you two, I hope to go and return soon."

Mi Zhu and Chen Deng received the order and went to Beihai and Qingzhou respectively.

After several days of running around, Mi Zhu rushed to Beihai non-stop.

Kong Rong, governor of Beihai County, warmly received Mi Zhu. In fact, the two of them can be regarded as old friends for many years.

When Kong Rong learned that Cao Cao had aggressively attacked Xuzhou and slaughtered the local people wantonly, he couldn't sit still, and immediately expressed his willingness to send troops to rescue.

Kong Rong answered straightforwardly, and Mi Zhu was instantly relieved, but Kong Rong also said: "It is not difficult to defend Xuzhou, but if you want to repel Cao Cao, you need someone to help you."

Mi Zhu is so smart, he immediately figured out the deep meaning from Kong Rong's words, maybe Kong Rong also knew some strange people, so he humbly asked for advice: "Please advise me."

Kong Rong didn't go around in circles and told the man's name.

Mi Zhu frowned slightly, obviously he had never heard of this person's name, but this is not the point, as long as he can save Xuzhou.

"Where is this person now?" Mi Zhu asked.

"Under Yuan Shao's command, serve as guest minister."

Hearing this answer, Mi Zhu frowned even deeper: "Cao Cao formed an alliance with Yuan Shao last year, I'm afraid Yuan Shao may not agree to send troops."

"I don't dare to speak to others, but Liu Xuande is a true gentleman! If you ask, he will help you!" Kong Rong patted his chest and said in a very firm tone.

Mi Zhu is very aware of Kong Rong's character, he is not very capable, but has always had a high vision. The person who can be appreciated by him must be extraordinary.

"Okay, then let's go to Jizhou to try."

Mi Zhu resigned from Kong Rong and came to Jizhou.

Since Liu Bei successfully rescued Beihai County the year before last, Kong Rong's halo has brought him a lot of fame. Although he is not well known in the whole world, he is well known in the areas of Ji and Qing.

Back in Jizhou, Yuan Shao kindly received Liu Bei and made him a guest minister in the house.

But Yuan Shao said it nicely, but in fact, he didn't trust Liu Bei at all, let alone allocate him food, grass and soldiers.

Not only was Liu Bei not angry about this, but he was happy and leisurely. He grew flowers and plants in the yard every day, as if he had nothing to do with the world.

In the eyes of outsiders who don't know, they are very envious of Liu Bei's leisure.

During this period, Yuan Shao also secretly sent people to dig corners several times.

Guan and Zhang Zhiyong are no less than Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Yuan Shao naturally didn't want to wrong these two fierce men, but in the end, these two men didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Liu Bei had fed them, and they would rather follow Liu Bei to eat chaff and swallow vegetables than take up important positions under his own account.

This also made Yuan Shao have great doubts about his own reputation and prestige for the first time.

Now under Liu Bei's command, there are only two brothers, as well as Chen Dao and Sun Qian, plus himself, there are only five people.

So after Yuan Shao learned that Liu Bei was addicted to planting flowers and plants, he didn't take him seriously.

After all, what can five people do?
Even so, Liu Bei never thought of giving up.

He has his own ideals and aspirations, and no matter how many setbacks he suffers, he remains steadfast.

Indulging in mountains and rivers is just an illusion.

Hibernating here is because he is waiting for a bigger opportunity.

"Brother, happy birthday!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei pushed the door open and walked into the yard, with bright smiles on their faces, they spoke in unison.

In their hands, each was carrying a chicken or duck, which was obviously used to celebrate the eldest brother's birthday.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, he didn't think he was an emotional person, but he was very moved by the perseverance between brothers.

Do the math with your fingers, this year is thirty-four.

People say that one stands at thirty.

But he still failed.

"Follow me, I have wronged you." Liu Bei slapped the dirt off his hands, full of apology.

"Brother, what are you talking about! Being able to follow you, even if you go to the fields, is also a happy thing!" Zhang Fei, who has a reckless temperament, grinned loudly.

Guan Yu also nodded, and comforted him: "Brother, you are not a thing in the pool. The third brother and I have always believed that one day, you will break through the cage, soar in the sky, and become famous all over the world!"

The brothers understood him, Liu Bei was very relieved, but also extremely happy, so he put down the farm hoe in his hand and yelled: "Second brother and third brother, call Uncle Zhi and Gongyou, let's have a good lunch today! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Lai, who was guarding the door, reported: "My lord, a middle-aged man came outside, claiming to be Donghai Mi Zizhong, and wants to see you."
