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

Chapter 729
The envoy was obedient, and ran back to Tan County in desperation with Cao Cao's harsh words.

When Xun You learned that Cao Cao had scolded Tao Qian's envoy, he entered the account and persuaded him: "My lord, Liu Beiyuan came to the rescue. You should give courtesy first and then soldiers. You should reply with a good word and slow down your heart. Then attack the city with troops, and the city will be broken."

Cao Cao obviously didn't take it seriously, and sneered: "A mere child, why not be afraid of it!"
Back in Tan County, the envoy elaborated on Cao Cao's reply.

Tao Qian sighed again and again, and everyone was silent.

"It's better to cut off the old man's head, pick it up and give it to Cao Cao. His anger has subsided, so naturally he won't make things difficult for you." Tao Qian coughed violently a few times, feeling weak.

Many people remained silent, as if acquiescing to the plan.

Mi Zhu, who has the air of a gentleman, got up and said angrily: "My lord, you treat people generously and are loved by the people; while Cao Cao is only an eunuch, but he is tyrannical and murderous, extremely cold-blooded. Since ancient times, evil has always prevailed. How can you be like Cao Cao?" Bow your head!"

"But who can stop Cao Cao's 10,000+ army?" Tao Qian's face was wrinkled, and his face covered with aging lines was full of sadness.

Everyone here is also very self-aware. Cao Cao has a lot of capable men and strangers, and countless brave generals. With these soldiers alone, even if they can defend for ten days and a half months, the city will be captured sooner or later.

At this time, Liu Bei spoke up.

"In today's world, perhaps only one person can break the siege of Xuzhou."

"Who?"

"The Great General Sima certified by the imperial court."

"Lu Bu."

There was a flash of light in everyone's eyes, but then they shook their heads.

"Lu Bu has no relationship with us, how could he come all the way to rescue us?"

Liu Bei smiled. In this world, there are no permanent enemies or friends, but only eternal interests.

Tao Qian obviously understood this too, but he still had some concerns. He was afraid that when Lu Bu drove Cao Cao away, he would stay in Xuzhou.

As the saying goes: It is easy to invite God, but it is difficult to send God away.

Tao Qian didn't want the jackals to be driven away by the front door, and more ferocious beasts ushered in behind him.

Xuzhou officials, who came from prominent families, were also skeptical. None of them had ever met Lu Bu.But from the rumors outside, the great general Sima was brave and invincible, he was arbitrarily determined to govern, and he was more vicious in battle than Cao Cao.

But what repulsed them the most was that Lv Bu repeatedly suppressed the aristocratic family and elevated the status of the common people, which they could not accept.

Since ancient times, respect and inferiority have been ordered, and etiquette cannot be abolished!
If Lu Bu is in charge of Xuzhou, it will seriously affect their family interests, which the family cannot bear.

At this time, Ruo Rong, who was the governor of Xiapi County at the time, stood up, sneered at Liu Bei's proposal, and said in a strange way: "Mr. Take ten thousand steps back, even if Lu Bu agrees to come down. From Guanzhong to Xuzhou, we don’t count the mountain roads and river crossings. Even if we are in a straight line, there is still a distance of [-] miles. It will take several months to march quickly. Wait for Lu Bu to lead the army here , Cao Cao broke through Tan County a long time ago and slaughtered it all. May I ask, what is the use of him coming, can he collect the corpse for us?"

These words undoubtedly completely wiped out the handful of hopes in everyone's hearts.

Yes, Guanzhong is too far away from Xuzhou.

Even if Lu Bu had the heart, it would probably be beyond his reach.

Hearing this yin and yang tone, Zhang Fei exhaled an angry breath from his nostrils, and pretended to want to make Ruo Rong look good, but Guan Yu immediately stopped him.

Zhang Fei has a reckless temperament, but Guan Yu knows righteousness.

Although Ruo Rong looked down on his elder brother, under the watchful eyes of everyone, if Zhang Fei did something, it would definitely bring a bad reputation to his elder brother.

"Third brother, don't be reckless, and listen to what elder brother has to say." Guan Yu pulled Zhang Fei straight beside him, and whispered, signaling him not to mess around.

The smile on Liu Bei's face is still the same, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

He ignored Ruo Rong's sarcasm, turned around and told everyone in the hall: "It is not necessary for Lv Bu to visit Xuzhou in person to break the siege of Xuzhou. Moreover, Lv Bu is not in Guanzhong now. He had already stationed troops in a tiger prison a few days ago. Close the pass, Hulao Pass. We just need to send envoys to Hulao Pass, promise benefits, and persuade Lu Bu to send troops to attack Yanzhou. Yanzhou is Cao Cao's base, and he will definitely not just watch Yanzhou fall into Lu Bu's hands. We must return to the army to rescue, and once Cao Cao leaves, the siege of Xuzhou will naturally be solved."

"Xuande, wonderful!"

Kong Rong clapped his hands and laughed, and praised him without hesitation.

Ruo Rong stood speechless, Liu Bei's answer just now undoubtedly slapped him in the face, so he hated this fake-looking guy even more in his heart.

Tao Qian also felt that this plan is feasible, nodded and asked everyone in the hall: "Who is willing to be an envoy to ask Lu Bu for help?"

Ruo Rong sat down quickly, for fear that Tao Qian would hit him.

Everyone looks at me and looks at you, but they all don't want to go to this muddy water.

At this moment, Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui, got up and begged Tao Qian, "If the lord does not give up, I am willing to go to Hulao Pass."

If it were someone else, Tao Qian would immediately agree.

But Chen Gui...

Tao Qian was very worried.

This is a mature fox, who knows if he will get well with Lu Bu, and he sold Xuzhou in a blink of an eye.

"It's not that I don't want to be appointed. It's because Han Yu is my elder Xuzhou. Now that I'm old and the journey is far away, if something happens along the way, it will be a big loss for me in Xuzhou. Let the younger generation handle these things. !"

Tao Qian said with a peaceful smile, then turned his head and looked at Mi Zhu: "Zizhong, how about you go on your behalf this time?"

Mi Zhu would not shirk, and surrendered to accept orders.

Early the next morning, he took Tao Qian's handwriting and galloped towards Hulao Pass.

…………

Hulao Pass, the head of the city.

On this day, Lu Bu took his sons and daughters to the top of the city tower, and when he looked around, he could see beautiful mountains and rivers everywhere.

Looking to the north, you can also see the rolling turbid river, the turbulent waves crashing on the shore, rushing majesticly from west to east.

"so high!"

Little Bell let out a cry of surprise, and his delicate face was full of excitement.

It was the first time since she was born that she stood at such a high place.

Occasionally, a cool wind blows, blowing her temples flying in the air, which is very beautiful.

Immediately, Little Bell seemed to think of something, turned back and tugged on his father's sleeve robe, and asked curiously, "Daddy, why is this place called Hulao Pass?"

In Little Bell's mind, Daddy is almost omnipotent.

Lu Bu did not disappoint his daughter, pampered his little head, and explained with a smile: "According to the "Mu Tianzi Biography" records: the emperor hunted in Zheng, and there was a tiger in the reed. Dongguo, where life is stored, is called Hulao."

It probably means that King Mu of Zhou raised the tigers he offered here in captivity, so it was named Hulao.

　Thanks to Mao Mao from afar and Eagle of the People's Liberation Army for their rewards.
