Rebirth of Lu Bu, the tyrant of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 201, Cao Cao sends troops to Xuzhou, Liu Bei suffers (1 more, please collect)
Liu Bei thought about it carefully, and what Jian Yong said was indeed reasonable, "Then tell me, what should we do now."

"Tao Qian is old and at the end of his strength, and his two sons are mediocre.

Tao Qian is a sensible person. In this era of tigers and wolves competing for power, if he wants to preserve the Tao family, he must give up the position of governor of Xuzhou, otherwise he will be annexed by other princes.

At this time, Tao Qian has no way out. If the lord is willing to send troops to support him at this time, Tao Qian will definitely be very moved. In addition to the lord's identity as the uncle of the Han family, Tao Qian is likely to give up the five counties of Xuzhou to the lord." Jian Yong road.

Liu Bei's eyes moved slightly, "This, how is this possible, the five counties of Xuzhou are vast and abundant, and the Tao family has been in charge of Xuzhou for many years, how could Tao Qian give up the five counties of Xuzhou to me."

Jian Yongdao, "Don't worry, the general, Tao Qian has always been diligent in government and caring for the people. For the sake of the people in the five counties of Xuzhou, he will agree."

There was a smirk on the corner of Liu Bei's mouth, "Haha, Jian Yong is really my Liu Bei's think tank, then this matter is settled like this, you quickly write a letter and reply to Tao Gong, just say that I, Liu Bei, is willing to lead the army Three thousand go to support."

Jian Yong immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Tao Qian.

At the same time, Lu Bu also received a letter from Tao Qian asking for help.

In the hall, Guo Jia, Liu Ji, Chen Gong, and Lu Su were all there.

Lu Bu said, "Cao Cao's troops are coming to Xuzhou, everyone thinks what we should do."

Chen Gongdao said, "Cao Cao is very ambitious. Now he has controlled Sizhou. It is false to send troops to Xuzhou to avenge his father. It is true to plot Xuzhou."

Guo Jiadao, "Gongtai's words are justified. Cao Cao has indeed played a good card. He used his father's revenge as an excuse to attack Xuzhou and became famous.

However, in terms of the overall situation, Cao Cao's strength is already strong enough now. If he is allowed to win the five counties of Xuzhou, his future strength will be immeasurable.

Therefore, I suggest that the general send troops to support Tao Qian. If we can take the five counties of Xuzhou by the way, it would be great, but how to send troops still needs to be considered in the long run. Right now, we had better not make enemies with Cao Cao."

Liu Ji nodded, "That's true. Making enemies on all sides is not good for us for the time being. I also agree with what Feng Xiao said, sending troops to help Tao Qian.

For us, the five counties of Xuzhou pose much less threat to us under the hands of Tao Qian, if we can support Tao Qian to become our own person, that would be a good thing."

"Tao Qiangui is the governor of a state, so it's not that easy to bring him under our command," Chen Gong said.

Lu Su said, "In my opinion, it's actually not difficult. I heard that Tao Qian was old, weak and sick, and his second son was not very talented.

Tao Gong was worried that if the position of governor of Xuzhou was passed on to his two sons, the feudal lords of all directions would stare at Xuzhou county, so he never passed on the position.

Lu Su is not talented, and he has a little friendship with Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao Shang. He is willing to enter this tiger's den and support Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao Shang, as Xuzhou Governor.

A look of joy flashed in Liu Ji's eyes, he lightly shook his feather fan, and exclaimed, "This plan is very clever. With the talent of brother Zi Jing, we will be able to control the five counties of Xuzhou in our hands. The five counties of Xuzhou are connected, and their strength will expand countless times in an instant, and they will win the Central Plains, just around the corner."

Lu Bu was a little bit reluctant, "So, wouldn't it mean that Zijing was sent to the tiger's mouth, no, this is absolutely not possible."

Lu Su smiled lightly, "Don't tell me that the general looks down on Zijing, thinking that Zijing can't do this well."

"Of course not. Zijing has a great talent, and everyone sees it. I just don't want you to go too far. If something happens, there will be no one to take care of it," Lu Bu said.

Lu Su said, "Thank you for your concern, General, but those who do big things should take a long-term view. The general will be the one who plans big things in the future. Since we have already joined the general, we can't just eat free food in this county guard's mansion. It's time to serve the general." Get a job."

Lu Bu sighed softly, "Oh, well, this trip goes deep into the tiger's den, and there are many dangers, so I will arrange General Bai Hong to be your bodyguard. He was born as a swordsman, and his swordsmanship is superb. Life is naturally not a problem."

Lu Su said, "Thank you, General."

Liu Jidao, "Brother Zijing is plotting in the city, so there is no problem, but I suggest that the general send [-] troops to support Tao Qian. Even if he doesn't fight with Cao Jun, at least he can win Tao Gong's favor, which is very beneficial for Zijing in the city. ".

Lu Bu held his head high and said, "I have no objection, then I will personally lead an army of [-] to support Tao Qian."

Lu Bu then led [-] troops, Guo Jia was in charge of state and county affairs, Liu Ji went out with the army, Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng each led [-] soldiers and horses to go out with Lu Bu to rescue Xuzhou from the siege.

Under the city of Xuzhou, Cao Cao personally led [-] troops to the city. All the soldiers were wearing mourning uniforms, holding white long flags, sharp knives and axes, and imposing like a rainbow. They wanted to break through Xuzhou and behead Tao Qian to avenge his father Cao Song and his clan.

Tao Qian sent dozens of letters asking for help. Although there were replies, most of them said that because of the war, there were heavy casualties and they could not provide assistance.

Only Liu Bei, the county magistrate of Pingyuan, Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, and Lu Bu, the governor of Bingzhou, replied to the letter, saying that they were willing to send troops to support them.

However, Cao Cao's army had already approached the city, but he had not seen the arrival of reinforcements from all directions.

Tao Qian stood on the top of the wall and said earnestly, "Mr. Cao, I am very sorry about your father, but I really did not do it. I have sent someone to behead the bandit who killed your father. Now it is hanging on the top of the city to show sincerity.

As long as Mr. Cao can retreat, I am willing to agree to any request."

Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Then I will let you give up the position of governor of Xuzhou, will you give it up?"

Tao Qian froze in place immediately, sure enough, this thief Cao wanted to plot against Xuzhou for what he wanted to avenge his father.

Before Tao Qian could speak, Cao Cao said angrily, "Shameless old bastard, you can think of reasons for being lowly, you can kill my father, but you can't insult Cao Cao's IQ.

Do you think that sending troops to kill my father, and then beheading a few bandits as scapegoats, and beheading them is nothing? How can I, Cao Cao, be so easily fooled?"

"Today, you'd better hand over the five counties of Xuzhou obediently. I can keep the people of Xuzhou safe, and I won't hurt a single soldier. If you wait for me to attack the city, it will be another matter, and I will kill them all." People in Xuzhou, avenge my father and brother," Cao Cao said angrily.

Tao Qian stood on the top of the wall and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

It's not good to provoke anyone, but this tiger and wolf Cao Mengde must be provoked.

This man is ambitious and has been eyeing the five counties of Xuzhou for a long time, so how could he be willing to let the five counties of Xuzhou go for nothing.

He coughed a few times, and then said loudly, "If the general insists on attacking Xuzhou County, then we will have no choice but to resist desperately. Even if we fight to the death, we will never give up Xuzhou to you."

Cao Cao's eyebrows twitched slightly, he didn't expect Tao Qian to be so old and dull, yet he still had such backbone.

Xun Yu said, "The reason why Tao Qian has been able to sit in Xuzhou for more than ten years is because he has a 5000 Danyang soldiers in his hands. lost heavily".
