I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 525

Mi Zhu's words stunned everyone present.

But Tao Qian looked at Mi Zhu suspiciously and said: "Then Liu Bei is Liu Deran's elder brother, and I heard that he is also the number one general under him, you ask the old man to invite him... Without Liu Deran's consent, how could he come here?" ? Besides, doesn’t his coming mean Liu Deran’s coming?”

Mi Zhu shook his head and said: "If you think so, then you are wrong."

"The Mi family has been doing business in Hebei all year round. On the way to Hebei, they also heard about various things in Hebei."

"After Liu Jian became the general of Fuyuan, he re-appointed the generals under his command."

"Liu Bei used to be the shepherd envoy of West Qingzhou, but now all the government affairs of Qingzhou belong to Liu Yu, and Liu Bei was appointed as the Hushi General under the command of General Fuyuan, who is in charge of the northern border."

"However, the title of Shepherd of Xiqingzhou was granted to Liu Bei by the imperial court after all. After Liu Jian built the Fuyuan General's Mansion, it is not easy to deprive him of it... Therefore, the soldiers of Qingzhou still belong to Liu Bei at present. coordinating."

"Liu Bei is under Liu Jian and has a certain degree of autonomy!"

"I heard that there was a riot in Qingzhou last month because of the Dutian incident, so Liu Bei returned to Qingzhou to quell the disaster, and has stayed in Qingzhou ever since."

"And Liu Jian is now rectifying the internal affairs of Jizhou and Youzhou. I heard that he is involved in many things, and I am afraid that he will not have time to fight abroad in a short time."

"As a pastor, Liu Bei should be able to lead the army independently."

"Especially when I heard that this person is also based on benevolence and righteousness, and treats others generously."

"Why don't you send someone to contact Liu Bei and ask him to send troops to help?"

"Liu Bei is concerned about his reputation, and he is willing to come to the rescue when he is invited by the envoy!"

"In addition, although Liu Xuande has the reputation of benevolence and righteousness, he is far inferior to his younger brother. I heard that this person is not as resourceful as Liu Jian,"

"It is very difficult for a person who has the name of a hero, regards benevolence and righteousness as the foundation of his life, and is still under the control of others to seize the lord's inheritance."

"Liu Jian is far away in Ji and You. I don't want Liu Bei to win Xuzhou and his power will increase greatly. Therefore, if you can invite Liu Bei to Xuzhou to help us defend against Yuan Cao, after he and Yuan and Cao are both defeated, the Lord wants to invite him to leave again. Xuzhou, it may not be a difficult task...Maybe Liu Jian will call him back without the Lord bothering."

Mi Zhu's words seemed to be like a tonic, piercing into the heart of the elderly Tao Qian.

He felt refreshed.

"Zi Zhong's words are quite reasonable. If so, then send two envoys to Yuan Shu and Liu Bei at the same time, and invite them to come to Xuzhou to help the old man fight against Cao."

Mi Zhu said: "Someone is willing to go to Yuan Shu's side and say that Yuan Gonglu sent troops to help."

Mi Zhu is very smart. Since Liu Bei was recommended by him, he can't take the initiative to ask for orders to go to Qingzhou.

Because he knew Tao Qian quite well.

This person looks like an elder in appearance and has a hot temper.

In fact, the old man's mind is not simple.

There are many people who are calculating and suspicious by nature.

Now that Mi Zhu took the initiative to go to Yuan Shu's place, on the contrary, he could rule out the suspicion that he had secretly made friends with Liu Bei.

Tao Qian nodded in satisfaction.

Then he looked at the crowd.

"Who is willing to go north to Qingzhou to meet Liu Bei and ask him to send troops to help me in Xuzhou?"

Unexpectedly, after this question, the lovers present did not make a sound.

It's not that they can't go, it's just that Tao Qian has a heavy heart. In order to avoid Tao Qian's suspicion of them, these people simply didn't respond.

Tao Qian couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw this.

"Why? At this critical moment, no one among you is willing to share the old man's worries?"

Everyone still remained silent, for fear that Tao Qian was testing them.

It is actually quite sad for a lord to do this.

Thinking of this, Tao Qian couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Since none of the people present volunteered, Tao Qian had no choice but to appoint someone himself.

He looked around, and after looking for a while, his eyes fell on Chen Gui.

"Brother Hanyu, why don't you..."

Chen Gui was startled when he heard the words, he waved his hands hastily and said: "Master, at my age, I really can't travel far! Besides, I still have old illnesses, if I really go out on the way to Qingzhou, What is it that will kill me?"

When Tao Qian heard this, he immediately became angry.

I haven't finished talking yet, why are you in a hurry?

"Han Yu, I don't want you to go, I want you to choose one of your two sons as an envoy to go to Qingzhou to meet Liu Xuande."

"Your Chen family is the prefect of my Xuzhou. If someone from your Chen family invites Xuande, it will also show that my Xuzhou is sincere to him."

Hearing what Tao Qian said, Chen Gui was half relieved.

In fact, he didn't want his two sons to get involved in the matter of seeking help for Xuzhou.

From Chen Gui's point of view, this matter was completely thankless.

However, since Tao Qian put the matter on the heads of the Chen family, Chen Gui had no way to refuse.

"That being the case, let my eldest son Chen Deng go to Qingzhou on behalf of the envoy."

Tao Qian smiled when he heard this.

"So good."

……

……

Then Mi Zhu went to Yuan Shu's place, while Chen Gui's son Chen Deng went north to Qingzhou.

After all, the matter was urgent, so Chen Deng hurried all the way to Linzi in Qingzhou.

Liu Bei arrived in Qingzhou about a month ago during the Xuzhou war.

This is what he and Liu Jian discussed in advance.

In other words, it was the agreement they secretly made with Mi Fang in Ye City.

Liu Bei said during this period that he was suppressing the rebellion in Qingzhou, but in fact the rebellion in Qingzhou was not that serious.

After all, Liu Jian eradicated more than 40 big families in Jizhou in one fell swoop, and the famous families in Qingzhou were also greatly shocked.

Now, no matter how major political reforms Liu Jian implemented in the four prefectures of Hebei, these noble families generally made small moves secretly, and they could not organize large-scale rebellions.

Qingzhou occasionally pops up a few things that don't know the current affairs... It's enough for Gao Shun, Han Dang, Cheng Pu and others to clean up.

It was completely out of his turn for Liu Xuande to act in person.

When he came back to Qingzhou this time, Liu Bei was simply waiting for Tao Qian to invite him.

But before Tao Qian sent someone to invite him, Liu Bei had nothing to do. He spent his whole day shopping, hunting, drinking, barbecue, playing with dogs, horses, buying clothes...all things he did when he was young.

Although it was very leisurely, Liu Bei felt very relaxed and didn't feel bored, which reminded him of the old days.

It seems that in the past few years, he has not lived such a chic life, it is really memorable.

When, when Liu Jian completely pacifies the world and everything is peaceful, he will be a carefree general who will neither lead troops nor fight wars, just get a rank salary for nothing, and live such a life at home every day, wouldn't it be beautiful?

But now it must be difficult to achieve. He thought about living like this, and Liu Jian probably couldn't let him go.

Just when Liu Bei was living happily, Xuzhou's envoy finally came to Linzi City to meet Liu Xuande.

The envoy reported his name as Chen Deng, the eldest son of the Chen family in Guangling.

Liu Bei had done a lot of homework in Xuzhou during this period, so he naturally knew that the other party was a famous prefect in Xuzhou, so he was very polite and treated each other with courtesy.

Chen Deng is a smart and meticulous person with a very precise eye for seeing people.

Although Liu Bei was suspected of being a showman in front of him, Chen Deng only had a rough contact with the other party, and by observing his words and deeds, he could guess what kind of person the other party was probably.

When we met for the first time, Liu Bei gave Chen Deng the feeling that he was bold and bold, yet elegant in his boldness, and he had an affinity that couldn't be concealed by words.

Even for someone like Chen Deng.He was almost infected by Liu Bei.

This kind of Liu Bei made Chen Deng faintly yearn for and admire him.

However, Chen Deng quickly came back to it.

He was very surprised by Liu Bei's ability to infect himself.

If this Liu Bei is like this, then his lord... Liu Deran whose reputation and ability far surpass him, what kind of hero should he be?
It's terrible!
……

"Yuan Long came to me this time to ask me for help on behalf of Mr. Tao?"

Chen Deng clasped his hands and said, "I have heard for a long time that General Liu is known as a hero. Today, Cao Song died unexpectedly in our border of Xuzhou. Cao Cao sent an army from Jiangdong to Pengcheng, vowing to bring down my lord and question him."

"Although my lord is willing to dedicate his life to the people of Xuzhou, he is still worried about handing over Xuzhou to someone like Cao Cao."

"Besides, there must be something else hidden behind Cao Song's death!"

"If Cao Cao really kills my lord, the villain will succeed in his tricks! This is an unwise move, so my lord wants to ask General Liu to send troops to the south to help resist Cao's army."

Liu Bei said with emotion: "Tao Shijun actually knows that there is Liu Bei in the world?"

"It's just that I heard that although Cao Mengde entered Xuzhou, he only killed the local officials, and did not commit any violence against the local people."

Chen Dengdao: "This is exactly where Cao Cao's deceit is so powerful. He sent troops in the name of revenge, but he did not seize the treasury, did not massacre the people to vent their anger, but treated the people preferentially. He did the thing of winning people's hearts, which is clearly a way of revenge. name, plot Xuzhou."

"Such a treacherous and cunning person, is the general going to watch his trick succeed?"

Liu Bei sighed and nodded: "In this case, then Liu will lead his troops to Xuzhou to help Tao Shijun and Cao Cao... However, I don't know how the battle will turn out. Liu can only do his best. .”
