I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 520 Boss Cao Was Murdered
Soon, Liu Bei was called into the hall by Liu Jian.

Liu Jian then introduced Liu Bei to Mi Fang and said: "This is my brother-in-law, authorized by the imperial court, and he is the Hussar General who is in charge of foreign affairs!"

When Mi Fang heard the words, she suddenly realized, she hurriedly got up, and greeted Liu Bei for a while.

"I've heard Liu Xuande's name for a long time, and I heard that he is also a member of the Han family, and he has been fighting with the general for a long time. He has the name of a hero and is as powerful as thunder. When I saw him today, he really lives up to his name and looks like a true hero."

Liu Bei didn't know Mi Fang, so he just looked at Liu Jian suspiciously, and saw Liu Jian nodded at him with a smile, and then gestured with his eyes.

As expected, Liu Bei and Liu Jian are brothers of one mind. Although he didn't understand what Mi Fang was talking about here, he still saluted Mi Fang very enthusiastically.

"Bei Yi has long admired Mi Jun's great name!"

Afterwards, Liu Bei sat on the same side as Mi Fang, and asked Mi Fang for a while.

Now ask Mi Fang what she is doing in Jizhou this time, ask Mi Fang if the road is good, ask whether there are many bandits on the road from Xuzhou to Hebei, ask Mi Fang what to eat okay...

Faced with such an enthusiastic Liu Bei, Mi Fang was really overwhelmed. He had heard of Liu Bei's name a long time ago, and knew that this person was the number one general under Liu Deran's command, but he never thought that Liu Xuande would be so approachable... and Liu Bei Frugal as approachable.

After chatting for a while, Liu Bei grabbed Mi Fang and said, "Zifang, you and I hit it off right away. You came to Yecheng this time, but there are many good things you have never seen before. I will take you there in the future." How about a tour in the city, so that you can have a good taste of the scenery in Hebei?"

Mi Fang couldn't help being shocked when she heard this, after all, Liu Bei's status is much higher than him!
And it is such a well-known and battle-tested general who now wants to personally act as his guide in Ye City, how can Mi Fang not feel panicked and nervous?

"Mr. Xuande, this matter, this matter is absolutely unacceptable! How can Mi Fang and He De... how dare you bother Duke Xuande? Besides, you are entangled in many things..."

Liu Bei laughed loudly and interrupted him: "You and I hit it off right away, why should it be like this... Deran, I'm taking a few days off to accompany Zifang around Yecheng, is it okay?"

Liu Jian smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem!"

Afterwards, the three of them talked for a while, and the Liu brothers personally sent Mi Fang out of the mansion, and Mi Fang was overwhelmed by the flattery, bowing to her again and again.

Liu Jian sent his personal escort to escort Mi Fang out of the mansion, and then there were only two brothers Liu Jian and Liu Bei left in the hall.

"Xuande, are you too enthusiastic?"

Liu Jian sighed and shook his head: "At any rate, you are also a general. If you personally accompany a white wealthy family to play in the city, you will lower your value."

Liu Bei laughed and said: "You can't do some things that lower your status. As a brother, I naturally have to think about it for you. The Mi family in the East China Sea is related to Xuzhou. How can such a rich place be handed over to others? With Mi's heart, our army will have domestic support in Xuzhou. To the north of Huaisi, it is equivalent to having a place for food and grass supply. Once the soldiers enter Xuzhou, there is a foothold for food and grass supply, and it will be as if there is nowhere to go The Realm of Man!"

"Since that's the case, how can I not accompany him well as the second head of the Mi family in the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

Although Liu Bei spoke calmly, Liu Jian could naturally hear his deep care and concern for him from his words.

There is no doubt that all that Liu Bei did was for himself.

"Brother, the affairs of Xuzhou are very important, but I can't do without Jizhou recently. One is that Bingzhou has just been conquered. Although Guo Jia is in charge, I have to take care of Jizhou's government affairs. The other is that Hebei is becoming more and more prosperous. The people's livelihood is stable, and many wealthy families and local officials have begun to relapse, taking profits from them and destroying the atmosphere I have established in Hebei over the years. Many ports in the Bohai Sea have been put into use, and sea routes, shipping, and commercial roads have begun to be put into use. The next step I just want to start to revitalize the navy, and at the same time set up laws for maritime commerce, and there are still a lot of hidden people in Hebei, I need to rectify it, and find out all the hidden people..."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "In short, you have a lot of things to do in Hebei, and you are too busy, so the things in Xuzhou will be handed over to me, right?"

"Yun Chang has been in charge of foreign wars for these years, and I have always been in charge of domestic wars. But that was in the past. In the eyes of all the herdsmen in the world, I was not ranked first. Now we are the strongest in the world, and the time is right. The right place, the people and the people are all in my place,"

"As the saying goes, when the two Yuans, Caos, and Dongs gradually weaken, they will start to cease fighting with each other in order to fight against us. This is the law of history, and it is the inevitable result of the weaker forces' choice in order to survive, so Before that, brother, you must train yourself well, become my arm, and be able to stand alone!"

"This Xuzhou is where you tried your hand... Take Xuzhou from Tao Qian's hand and Er Yuan's mouth!"

Liu Bei's face revealed a look of awe.

"Hey, I didn't have any pressure at first, but what you said made me feel uncomfortable, as if I was carrying a heavy burden on my back!"

Liu Jian said with a smile: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Who made you capable, brother?"

"Don't flatter me..." Liu Bei rolled his eyes and muttered.

Then, he seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Deran!"

"Ok?"

"You want me to enter Xuzhou, what's the reason? I'm afraid it's unreasonable to rely on Donghai Mi's family to lure me there? Of course, it's feasible if you just send troops to go there directly, but it seems that it's so direct to seize other people's foundations. as a teacher of unrighteousness."

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Don't worry about that. Er Yuan will give us the reason soon. You must know that people who come from the fourth generation and the third father generally have no patience in doing things, especially Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are now in the same trap. When the stalemate was reached, one of them was eager to expand their strength, and the other was eager to find a place to settle down. Under this mentality, it is easy to do something unscrupulous..."

"for example?"

"Hahaha, I don't know the specifics. I'm not a roundworm in the stomachs of the two Yuan brothers. Just look at the direction of Xuzhou!"

……

Things really developed as Liu Jian thought.

Yuan Shu, who is currently stationed at the border, is coveting Xuzhou.

It's just that Tao Qian has a good friendship with him, and the Yuan family and the Tao family have always had interests. Although Yuan Shu has a thick skin, he is embarrassed to directly send troops to Xuzhou to seize Tao Qian's foundation.

But Yuan Shu is not someone who just sits and waits. He sent someone to Xuzhou to meet Tao Qian, and explained to Tao Qian that he has elite soldiers and good generals. He heard that there are many rebellions in Xuzhou, so Yuan Shu can send troops to Xuzhou unconditionally to help Tao Qian calm down All kinds of yellow scarves, big and small, even in the Zang Ba Rebellion, Yuan Shu could easily capture them.

This is a typical example of bragging and not drafting.

But Tao Qian is not a fool
Faced with Yuan Shu's self-recommendation, Tao Qian was also hypocritical and submissive. In his reply letter, he expressed a lot of gratitude to Yuan Shu, but there was not a single sentence that allowed Yuan Shu to enter Xuzhou. .

After all, he is also 60 years old, so how could he be easily fooled by Yuan Shu?
Facing Tao Qian's old stubbornness, Yuan Shu was very angry. This old guy is a hob meat.

But now he doesn't ask himself, if Yuan Shu enters Xuzhou without authorization, there really is no good reason.

Yuan Shu was very helpless, so he began to discuss with his subordinates.

Not to mention, although Yuan Shu is in a mess now, there are still some people around him who follow closely and never leave him.

Just because he loves racing doesn't mean he's worthless, does he?
Yuan Shu explained Tao Qian's attitude to his subordinates, and finally heaved a long sigh helplessly: "Tao Laoer won't let me enter Xuzhou, just use some nice words to deal with me, if I go directly to Xuzhou, I'm afraid everyone will It's not suitable to take it if the county is forbidden, and you still need to carefully plan and plan for me."

After Yuan Shu said this, he saw that his generals and advisers began to plan seriously.

But everyone said something to each other, and no one got to the point.

After all, this is not an easy thing to do. Tao Qian will not let go, no matter how much research you do here, he will not let you go.

So this matter is actually a more difficult matter to deal with.

In the end, Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu's chief adviser, had to come up with a good idea, or a poisonous plan for Yuan Shu.

"You know, Mr. Yuan, where are Cao Mengde's family members now?"

Yuan Shu was taken aback when he heard the words, "Aren't his family members following him?"

Yan Xiang shook his head and said: "According to my reports, although Cao Cao's wife, children and others are all in Qiao County and went to Yuzhou, his old father Cao Song took refuge in Langya Country."

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Old man Cao Song is actually in Langya Country? Isn't he in his hometown in Qiao County?"

Yan Xiang shook his head, and said: "The specific reason why Cao Song is in Langya Kingdom, I don't know about it, I just guess according to my subordinates, when Cao Cao rebelled against Dong, I think Cao Song may not agree with Cao Cao's direct support of Yuan Shao to fight against the court of."

"I think Cao Song was afraid of being persecuted by the court, so he moved his assets and population, and hid in Langya, away from the center of the court. This is reasonable."

"It's just that time has changed. Cao Cao has gained a firm foothold in Huainan, and has also seized the land in the east of the river. There is a faint tendency to separate the southeast."

"Cao Cao's power is basically stable now, and Cao Song will transfer to Jiangdong to join Cao Cao if he thinks about it."

Yuan Shu said bitterly: "Old man Cao was in Luoyang back then, and I didn't like him. His son took away my foundation, but he went to Jiangdong to enjoy the blessing instead! It's really hateful!"

Yan Xiang said: "My lord, you can think carefully. Although Cao Song is hateful, it may not be so easy for him to go to Jiangdong to enjoy happiness."

In a word, the key point is reached.

"According to Yan Jun's intention, you want to attack Cao Song, an old thief?"

Yan Xiang said seriously: "Since my lord intends to enter Xuzhou, why not use Tao Qian's name to take advantage of Cao Song's southward journey to Jiangdong..."

Having said that, Yan Xiang stretched out his palm and made a slight chopping gesture.

When Yuan Shu heard this, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"Is this possible?"

Yan Xiang nodded earnestly: "As long as we keep secret and leave evidence on purpose to point to Tao Qian, Cao Cao will doubt us, but he has no evidence, so what can he do with us?"

"If all the evidence can point to Tao Qian, and instead of taking revenge on Tao Qian, Cao Cao accuses Tao Qian, how will he deal with himself in front of the world?"

"Although Mrs. Cao is a descendant of the eunuch, she should also pay attention to filial piety, righteousness and shame?"

"How can those who do not avenge their father be tolerated in the world?"

Yuan Shu couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, "This is a great strategy."
