I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 583 Who controls Xuzhou?
The gates of Tancheng were opened, and the shouts of Xuzhou officials asking Zuo Rong and Que Xuan to postpone the offensive came from the city wall.

Under the city, the person responsible for governor of the clans at the city gate was Chen Gui's son Chen Deng.

Que Xuan and Zuo Rong were also very sensible. They stopped their troops from attacking the city.

Then the two of them rode horses and came to the city.

Zuo Rong had worked under Tao Qian for a while in the past and knew the Chen family. Although Chen Deng didn't show up much at that time, Zuo Rong still remembered this person.

"Isn't this Chen Yuanlong of the Chen family? Haha, the person who wants to ask for the opening of the city is your father, Mr. Chen?"

"On this occasion in Xuzhou, the most discerning person is your father, Mr. Chen."

"Your behavior is right. Only by doing this can the situation in Xuzhou be saved."

"You can get out of the way now."

"After I enter the city and take charge of the overall situation, I will definitely not treat you and your son badly."

Chen Deng was not in a hurry to get out of the way. He just looked at Zuo Rong and Que Xuan in front of him with a half-smile, and asked: "Are you two really going to enter the city? You must think carefully. After entering, you will come back again." There is no turning back.”

Chen Deng's words made Zuo Rong and Que Xuan feel a little uncomfortable.

Zuo Rong frowned immediately.

"What does Yuan Long mean by this?"

"The meaning of Chen's words should be clear to both of you. Could everything happening in Xuzhou today be a coincidence? You two came here suddenly, so you must not have suddenly become so elegant."

"You two must have an idea of ​​why Xuzhou is in such a situation now, and you must have been taught by others when you came here."

"Who will this land of Xuzhou eventually belong to? You two must know it better than me."

"Compared to Tao Shijun, that person is not someone you can serve casually. At least you can't treat him like you treat Tao Shijun. Do you two really want to be like you before? Are you acting wantonly? If you enter Tancheng today, if someone finds out, please think twice about your future."

These words were neither light nor serious, but they sounded alarm bells in the hearts of Que Xuan and Zuo Rong.

Obviously, they just got a little carried away.

There is no doubt that the person who wrote to them was Liu Jian.

If you think about it carefully, it is impossible to treat Liu Jian like Tao Qian.

It is impossible for them to act recklessly under Liu Jian's nose.

Thinking about what Liu Jian has done in Hebei over the years, they should understand that although Liu Jian treats his subordinates very well and treats his subordinates exceptionally well, he is also a very strict person.

Thinking about the dozens of prominent families that were wiped out in Hebei, and then thinking about the current situation of the tribes in northern Xinjiang - Wuhuan, Xianbei, Xiongnu, etc., they naturally knew what kind of person Liu Jian was.

If you are obedient and go along with him, everything will be easy for him to say.

How dare you make small moves in front of Liu Jian...

I'm afraid the consequences will be...

Today they have one foot forward to the Tancheng Slips, but if they want to take another step forward in the future, it will be difficult.

The Hebei overlord's power to intimidate these people is indeed extraordinary.

Just thinking about it for a moment, Que Xuan and Zuo Rong felt that the clothes on their backs were soaked.

It seems that from now on, we really have to be more careful, and we can no longer act as recklessly as before.

And considering the size of the Chen family, since they can establish a relationship with Liu Jian, it is obvious that they also know some inside stories.

So now we should treat the people in Tancheng with respect and caution. Who knows which of them are related to Liu Jian?
Later, they would report some things that were not beneficial to them to Liu Jian.

But a smile immediately appeared on Zuo Rong's face.

He said very boldly: "Yuan Long, you are still too young! What I just said to you is just a joke, so why do you have to be so serious?"

Chen Deng's face also showed a smile.

"Mr. Zuo, how could you know that I'm not joking with you?" Zuo Rong and Que Xuan were stunned when they heard this.

"Ah, yes, haha, yes, it's all a joke!"

Then Jue saw Zuo Rong let out a long sigh.

The Chen family is indeed a famous family in Xuzhou. Chen Gui alone is already very powerful. Now there is Chen Deng. It seems that there are countless outstanding people in Xuzhou. There are so many!
Facing Chen Deng, Zuo Rong did not dare to make any excuses.

"Then I dare to ask Yuan Long? What should I do now?"

Chen Deng was very humble: "I am a nobody, how dare I negotiate my future with such heroes as Duke Que and Duke Zhe."

Zuo Rong said hurriedly: "Yuanlong comes from a distinguished family and has a broad vision. He is naturally more knowledgeable than us when it comes to knowledge. We consulted Yuanlong today and found him. We also ask Yuanlong to give us some advice!"

Chen Deng did not write any ink and said: "Since the two asked Chen about this matter, Chen will speak frankly. Now that the gate of Tancheng is open, but as for who should be brought into the city to take charge of the situation, I am afraid that the two identities are not enough. , but isn’t there someone behind you who can make the decision? Why hesitate here?”

"If we can lure the rightful master into the city, even though you two can't lead Xuzhou by yourself, you can still achieve great achievements. The nobles in the north will naturally not treat you lightly, and you will definitely be favored and put to good use."

When Que Xuan and Zuo Rong heard this, they suddenly realized that they had just been a little complacent, but they had forgotten this most important thing.

They set their sights on Liu Bei in the distance.

…………

At this time, Liu Bei and a group of people were sizing up the situation in Xuzhou from a distance.

Seeing that Zuo Rong, Que Xuan and others were about to send troops to attack Tancheng, Liu Bei's face showed a sad look.

"Because of the Tao family, the people of Xuzhou are in such a state! This is not what we want! It has happened now. How can I ignore this war? Yun Chang, Yide, you must mobilize your troops immediately, let's go to Xuzhou Below the city, we must prevent Que Xuan and Zuo Rong from attacking at will and hurting innocent people."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hesitated when they heard this.

The Tao family treated them so arrogantly just now, but now Liu Bei wants to send troops to help them. Isn't this a bit too low on himself?Too old and nice, right?
Zhang Chao on the side said: "General Liu, this is Tao Qian's own family matter and has nothing to do with us. Besides, the Tao family's father and son treating the general like this is really a great insult to the general. If the general goes to save him at this moment, wouldn't he? Condoning the Tao family and his son's trip? Besides, if the general goes to rescue him now, the Tao family and his son may think that the general wants to seize Xuzhou, and will slander the general again. The general has finally restored his reputation. If it is tarnished by Tao Qian, it will be unavoidable. Somewhat not worth it.

Without thinking, Liu Bei said firmly: "What does my reputation mean compared to the people of Xuzhou?"

"I don't know why Que Xuan and others came here to attack Tancheng, but if Tao Gongzu alone puts the people of Xuzhou in such a situation, that would be immoral!"

"Even if I risk my life, I can't ignore the safety of the people in Tancheng!"

"I, Liu Bei, can save just one person, but saving a whole city is worth it!"

It was at this time that everyone had an indescribable respect for Liu Bei.

I never thought that Liu Xuande could be so benevolent and righteous.

It's not whether he's pretending or it's true, but at least the way he feels to everyone now, it's true.

Especially figures like Kong Rong and Liu Yao also greatly admired Liu Bei.
At the same time, they thought of another thing.

If Liu Bei is such a person, then what kind of hero and outstanding person must Liu Jian be?
Hebei is now developing vigorously and its people are prosperous.

Compared with the original, the life of all classes has been greatly improved, and it can be said to be prosperous for a while!
Now it seems that it makes sense.

Just when everyone was filled with emotion, Zuo Rong and Que Xuan suddenly stopped their attack on Tancheng.

This incident surprised everyone.

Not long after, Que Xuan sent an envoy to see Liu Bei.

After the envoy greeted Liu Bei, he explained his intention.

"General Liu, Duke Zhe, and Duke Que denounced Tao Qian in an attempt to denounce Tao Qian. Now that Tao Qian is dead, Tancheng is empty and there is no one to take charge of the overall situation. Duke Zhe, Duke Que, and all the Xuzhou officials in Tancheng, beseech Xuande The public enters the city and takes charge of the overall situation!"

Liu Rong, the king of Langya, said to Liu Bei: "Mr. Xuande, Tao Qian is in crisis now. No one in Tancheng has made the decision. Duke Xuande's prestige and virtue are the highest among all. Please enter the city quickly and take charge of the overall situation!"

"Yes, even Zuo Rong and Que Xuan have invited Mr. Xuande. At present, no one except Mr. Xuande can take up this responsibility."

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei said: "If I enter the city, it will be like what Tao Gongzu said, I am here specifically to capture Xuzhou. You are all heroes in this area, and there are many capable people. Xuzhou will be a burden to you, so I will never go there!" The princes choose talented and virtuous people to take over Xuzhou... I bid farewell."
