I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 585 Planning
Tao Shang and Tao Ying died so unclearly. Perhaps they thought they died clearly, thinking that they died in the hands of Cao Cao.

No one will express concern about their deaths, at least no one will care about them now. However, I believe that their deaths will be mentioned again before long.

At the same time, a group of officials from Xuzhou City, as well as a group of outsiders who came to visit Xuzhou, gathered on the official road from Xuzhou to Qingzhou and strongly invited Liu Bei to take charge of Xuzhou.

The local people in Xuzhou also gathered on the official road one after another, paying homage to Liu Bei from afar, shouting that they hoped Liu Bei could stay and govern Xuzhou.

Faced with this situation, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He temporarily stayed in the middle of the official road, looking at the dense crowd of people on the road ahead with a troubled expression, and sighed.

"Hey, you are trapping yourself in an unjust place."

Behind Liu Bei, Chen Gui walked out first with a cane.

He saluted Liu Bei: "Mr. Xuande, this is what everyone hopes for and what the people want... If the Duke refuses to return to Tancheng at this time, he will have lost his righteousness, the people's support, and his popularity."

What Chen Gui said was so pleasing to the ears that Liu Bei had no way to directly refute it.

Zhao Yu also stepped forward and patiently advised Liu Bei: "Mr. Xuande, look at the people here. Every one of them is so eager for me to stay. This is not something that just someone can do." Ordered.”

"You have to be a person with great wisdom, courage, virtue and justice to win the hearts of the people in order for the people of a state to treat you like this."

"Xuande, do you really want to ignore their wishes?"

"You know, for these people, only you, Mr. Xuande, can protect Xuzhou now."

"Everyone knows what happened to the people in the three counties of Pengcheng, Xiapi and Guangling. But I, the officials in Xuzhou, have nothing to do with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. We can only watch them move the people, disturb the people, and cause chaos. Southland of Xuzhou.”

"Xuan Degong, if you leave now, the northern border of Xuzhou will be captured by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao sooner or later, and the people here will be even worse than dead."

"Mr. Xuande, are you really willing to give up the lives and future of thousands of people in Xuzhou for the sake of your own reputation?"

"This one……"

Zhao Yu's words were extremely pleasing to the ears.

Even Liu Bei's face showed a look of understanding.

Liu Bei cupped his hands towards Zhao Yu and said: "What I said is true. Liu Bei almost put all the people in danger for his own selfish interests. This is really not what a gentleman would do. Sir, this is a lesson."

Soon, the audience said:

"Mr. Xuande, just come back with us."

"General Liu, Xuzhou cannot live without you."

“Mr.

"Mr. Xuande, the land of Qingzhou is rich and prosperous. With Liu Bo'an in charge, there is no shortage of Mr. Xuande. Please ask Mr. Xuande to stay in Xuzhou and save Xuzhou."

Just when everyone was rushing to persuade Liu Bei, they saw a general who was younger than Liu Bei riding up behind Liu Bei.

He looked around at the people present with a smile on his face, smiled softly and said:
"What you have said is true. This is related to the future and livelihood of the people in Xuzhou. We, the Liu brothers, can no longer care about our reputation. Please retreat, please allow me to properly persuade Brother Xuande to return to Xuzhou." , can you fulfill the wishes of the princes and the people of Xuzhou?"

Everyone present is a big shot. Although they have never seen this person, they saw his elite armor and the demeanor when he spoke, and listened to the self-promotion in his words...

Although he did not explain who he was, these people present were all smart people.

Coupled with the previous rumors, it was natural to guess his identity.

When many people saw Liu Jian, they couldn't help but feel a little excited, while many people still felt uneasy.

No matter what mood these people had at the moment, when they faced Liu Jian, they all shut up in unison, bowed and retreated like courtiers.

It's really a strange thing. They had never seen Liu Jian before, and now they were facing him in person, and he didn't even report his identity, but these people were actually in such a frightened mood.

Now Liu Jian has actually reached the power of being consistent among them.

After these people left, Liu Jian immediately looked at Liu Bei. "Brother, the matter is over and the net can be closed."

"This Xuzhou is yours from now on, let's go back to Tancheng."

When Liu Bei heard this, he shook his head and said, "What's mine? This is your Xuzhou. I'm just taking care of it for you. Don't talk nonsense."

After hearing this, Liu Jian laughed loudly and said, "Okay, it's my Xuzhou. What I mean is, we can close the net and go back to Tancheng."

"Go back to Tancheng and sort out your new subordinates. From now on, you will have to rely on them to govern Xuzhou."

When Liu Bei heard this, he felt a sense of relief in his heart for some unknown reason.

During the capture of Xuzhou, although Liu Jian helped, he was the one on the stage.

It can be said that it was he, Liu Xuande, who led this incident.

Liu Bei now feels very accomplished.

Of course, he will not forget Liu Jian's kindness. If it weren't for his younger brother's careful planning, Liu Bei would not have the sense of accomplishment he has today.

Liu Bei sometimes thought that he didn't know what kind of virtue he had accumulated to be able to have a good brother like Liu Jian.

"Deran, just how should I govern Xuzhou?"

Hearing Liu Bei ask himself so humbly, Liu Jian felt very comforted.

This is his brother Xuande!
At such a critical time, the achievements have been accomplished, but I still don't forget to ask myself about the next policy.

Obviously, Liu Bei now doesn't just want to prosper the Han Dynasty.

He also kept Liu Jian's ideals in mind and kept the great cause of the nation in mind.

"Brother, when you are in Xuzhou, you must first understand the importance of Xuzhou to our future strategy."

"Although the Guangling and Xiapi Kingdoms south of Xuzhou are currently occupied by Cao Cao, Cao Cao is definitely not willing to stay in these two places for a long time. I heard that he is now moving the people of Xuzhou on a large scale. Although I have the intention to stop him, but Now that Xuzhou’s internal affairs are undecided, we can only let Cao Cao succeed for a while.”

"However, after this matter is completed, Cao Cao's main garrison and defense areas will still be Yangzhou and Jiujiang. The frontline areas such as Xiapi, Pengcheng, and Guangling will become a buffer zone between Xuzhou and the southern forces."

"Militarily, my brother must use these three counties as the front line to build defense fortifications. Of course, it is not just defense. If we attack south, we must be able to use these three counties as a stepping stone at any time."

"For a long time to come, Xuzhou will serve as our frontline in Hebei, leading the charge against the south, and my brother will be the military and political commander in Xuzhou, leading the charge against the south."

"Externally, you must resist Yuan Cao, and internally, you must develop Xuzhou just like you develop Hebei."

"Since Xuzhou has fallen into our hands, the people of Xuzhou are our people, and we cannot let their treatment be worse than that of the people in the north."

"I can naturally support my brother in terms of money and food, but local land reclamation must also be put on the agenda."

"Brother also knows that food is the most important thing for the people, and food and cultivated land are the top priorities."

"There are precedents for farming in Hebei, as well as farmland, including renting and transferring matters. My brother can just copy it and move to Xuzhou."

When Liu Bei heard this, he seemed a little hesitant: "It's just that the local prominent families in Xuzhou have made great contributions in this support. If they want to cultivate their fields, I'm afraid it will greatly damage the interests of their families. I'm afraid I don't have the wisdom." Brother, your thunderous methods can shock the powerful clans in Xuzhou."

"What if these people collude with Cao Cao in Jiangdong again and cause trouble on the border?"

Liu Jian heard this and said: "Brother, don't worry. You don't have to worry about this. Just go ahead and do it. You have the ability, but you must have more confidence in yourself."

"As for your fear that Xuzhou's internal heroes will collude with Cao Cao, you don't have to worry about that."

"As far as I know, Cao Cao is also copying Hebei's strategy and implementing the method of farming and farming in Jiangdong. What my brother touched in Xuzhou was the interests of local powerful people. However, what Cao Cao violated in Yangzhou was still the powerful people of Yangzhou. It has become a trend in our country for the new Mu Shou to compete with other tycoons for food. Even if they come to Xuzhou in exchange for Cao Cao, they will only change the soup without changing the medicine."

"Those who understand, just accept it, and those who don't, use thunderous means to suppress them!"
