Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 451 Liu Bei Takes Control of Xuzhou
"What's your idea, sir?" Guan Hai asked quickly after hearing this.

"Nanyang Yuan Shu has plenty of soldiers and food, but I don't know if you dare to grab his food and grass." Lu Bu said after thinking for a while, in Lu Bu's view, Nanyang Yuan Shu is the kind of fool who has a lot of money, and now Lu Bu wants to deal with Cao Cao For a while, he couldn't care about trouble with Yuan Shu, but this didn't hinder him. Lu Bu felt uncomfortable sending someone to find Yuan Shu. Since Lu Bu lacked military supplies, why didn't he ask Guan Hai to trouble Yuan Shu?Although with the strength of the Yellow Turban Army, it is impossible to shake Yuan Shu, but it is not a problem to make Yuan Shu feel uncomfortable, not to mention borrowing other people's food to support his own soldiers, even just thinking about it, Lu Bu feels good .

"Hey, there is no daring in our line of business. I remembered what your lord said. He Yi, Huang
The two of Shao are now active in the Yingchuan area of ​​Runan, and they have plundered the two places for a lot of money, food and supplies over the years. I will go to find the two and join them as soldiers to serve the Lord. "Just listen to Guan Hai said with a smile.

"That's very good. I'll send someone to inform Chen Gong and ask him to let you cross the border. If you need anything in the future, you can find me or Chen Gong." Seeing that Guan Hai's words were reasonable, Lu Bu also agreed.

"It's just that I can't take these old and weak with me here. These people have followed me for many years, and I have to trouble adults to take care of them." Guan Hai turned his head and looked at the old, young, women and children behind him and said.

"Don't worry about these things." Lu Bu also nodded and agreed.

"Boom." At this moment, the sound of horseshoes behind the Yellow Turban Army suddenly sounded, and a group of men and horses rushed out of it. The iron chain serial horse army came out from behind.It turned out that in order to prevent the Yellow Turbans from recurring on Mount Tai, Lu Bu asked Tai Shici to lead his troops to detour and copy the back of the Yellow Turbans. upset.

"My lord, the enemy army is coming, my lord will go first, and I will leave it to my subordinates to deal with it." Guan Hai was also taken aback when he saw an army horse coming out from behind, but he immediately reacted and said to Lu Bu.

"Hehe, don't worry, this is my team. I think they came here because they were worried about my safety." Seeing that Guan Hai cared so much about him, Lu Bu finally knew that Guan Hai really surrendered to him. Hai went to Runan Yingchuan area, Lu Bu felt relieved, so he waved his hand at Guan Hai and said.

"Tai Shici, this place is not far from Donglai, I will accompany you home to see your mother." After Guan Hai left with [-] yellow scarf elites, Lu Bu turned and said to Tai Shici who was beside him .

"This? Yanzhou's military situation is urgent, and adults are needed all the time. How can adults leave for my family's affairs?" Suddenly, Tai Shici finally knew why Lu Bu had to bring himself with him for this trip. It seemed that Lu Bu wanted to take advantage of the trip to Mount Tai. Asking myself to go home, thinking about it, Tai Shici's eyes turned red and he was inexplicably moved, but now that Lu Bu's every move is related to the lives of many people, Tai Shici really dare not let Lu Bu accompany him Go to Dongnae.

"Um, general, Qingzhou is now Yuan Shao's territory, it's too risky to take this trip." When he heard that Lu Bu was going to Donglai, Dian Wei also tried to persuade him.

"Haha, there is no place in the world that I, Lu Bu, can't go to. What's more, with the five thousand wolves riding behind me, I'm afraid those Qingzhou officials should be worried. Besides, we are all cavalry. It won’t take much time to go. I, Lu Bu, both of my parents died in my early years, and now I have achieved some achievements, but I can’t show my filial piety in front of my parents’ knees. Son Yi, let me kowtow at your mother’s knees to show my filial piety. After saying that, Lu Bu galloped out, no more; he ignored everyone's persuasion, but saw that Lu Bu was going in the direction of Donglai, Qingzhou.

However, Liu Bei said that since he set off from Xuzhou with troops, he has been stationed on the border of Xuzhou and has not marched into Yanzhou. Whether or not to bring troops back to Xuzhou.

"Brother, we stay like this all day long, and we don't allow drinking, and a bird can fade out of our mouths. According to me, we should send troops to kill Cao Cao right now. If brother thinks that Cao Cao is defeated at this time We won't win by force, even if we go to Lu Bu to compete, it's good to avenge the one-shot revenge of the past, it's better than spending time with this bird now." Looking at Liu Bei's face full of thoughts, Zhang Fei Nonsense on the sidelines.

"Third brother, don't say these songs are useless, brother is thinking about something." Seeing Zhang Fei's nonsense, Guan Yu gave Zhang Fei a blank look and said.

"You two virtuous brothers, I have something to discuss with you two." Liu Bei ignored the two of them and said, "Now that Cao Cao has retreated to Juancheng, and Lu Bu has not launched an army to pursue him, I am thinking, we should also return to Xuzhou Alright, what do you two think?"

"Hey, it's good to go back to Xuzhou. Xuzhou is much better than Pingyuan. It's just that you don't want to accept the seal of the Xuzhou governor, otherwise the Xuzhou governor can be worthy of a part-time job for you, the emperor's uncle." identity." Hearing Liu Bei said that he was going back to Xuzhou, Zhang Fei said with a smile.

"Brother, this time, my third brother and I also have the same meaning." Guan Yu opened his eyes and continued with brilliance: "Brother wants to achieve great things, and he needs a state like Xuzhou to let him show his strengths. The plain is only a county, and there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses on the left and right. It is really useless in this troubled world. Why don't you take Xuzhou to make great things happen." Guan Yu also said earnestly.

"Hey, the two virtuous brothers think, why Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, didn't pass on the position of governor to his sons, but to me, an outsider? Besides, you and I are all outsiders, and the soldiers are few. If we can’t convince the public internally, and are powerless to meet the enemy externally, I’m afraid that if we take over Xuzhou, we won’t be able to hold Xuzhou safe, but will be plotted against by those who care about us.” Hearing what the two said, Liu Bei sighed and expressed his worries. place.

"We all look forward and backward like big brother, so we don't have to do anything at all." Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei stood up and said.Although Zhang Fei recognizes Liu Bei as his big brother and is loyal, but he is also quite critical of Liu Bei's sometimes too contrived problems.

"Report, Master Mi Zhu, please see me." At this moment, a soldier suddenly came in and reported to Liu Bei.

"Oh, Mi Zhu is here, there is something necessary. Let's go and meet each other soon." Upon hearing Mi Zhu's arrival, Liu Bei walked out first in three steps, followed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Uncle Huang, Tao Cishi occasionally caught wind and cold a few days ago, but these days it's getting worse. Please hurry back to Xuzhou as soon as possible to discuss important matters." Mi Zhu said quickly after bowing his hands and bowing to Liu Bei.

"Tao Inspector Shi is seriously ill. I will send troops back to Xuzhou immediately." Hearing the news from Mi Zhu, Liu Bei asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to send troops back to Xuzhou without saying a word.

But he said that Tao Qian was already old and unwell. The last time Cao Bing attacked, Tao Qian was even more depressed and ill. Even though Cao Bing retreated, Tao Qian's health was getting worse day by day.At this time, he finally couldn't hold on anymore, so he quickly sent Mi Zhu to ask Liu Bei to discuss the funeral.

When Liu Bei returned to Xuzhou with his troops, Tao Qian's body became even more haggard, and he could only lie on the bed and talk to Liu Bei.

"Uncle Huang, you're finally back. I'm afraid I won't have much time with my body, and I'm really worried that I won't be able to wait for Uncle Huang to come back." Tao Qian showed a bitter smile as he spoke, but he didn't know how to affect that person. The persistent illness at the office suddenly coughed.

"Lord Inspector, you don't need to say more, when you recover your health, we will consider everything in the long run." Seeing that Tao Qian was coughing continuously, Liu Bei quickly persuaded him.

"My body, I understand it myself, I'm afraid it won't last long, and some things must be explained clearly." Tao Qian glanced at Chen Deng next to him, and saw Chen Deng take out a box from the cabinet beside him. An exquisite box, although Liu Bei has only seen this box once, it is enough for Liu Bei to remember, because this box is nothing else.It was the box that Tao Qian used to hold the governor's seal letter when Tao Qian was going to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

"What is Tao Cishi doing? I, Liu Bei, am by no means the kind of person who covets other people's cities. If Mr. Cishi is like this, Liu Bei can only bring his two brothers back to the plain." Seeing Chen Deng take out the box, Liu Bei Knowing what Tao Qian meant, he stood up and said firmly.

"Why is the emperor like this? This old man is already dying. Only this Xuzhou can't be relieved. Could it be that the emperor can't fulfill my wish for me, a rotten person who is about to go to another world?" Seeing Liu Bei's resoluteness, Tao Qian is sincere Said.

"Please don't shirk Huang Shu." At this time, Chen Deng also brought the box in front of Liu Bei and said.

"Liu Bei has never had any experience in presiding over state affairs. I'm afraid he will fail the entrustment of your lord." Seeing the seal letter in front of his eyes, Liu Bei hesitated for a while, and said again.

"Don't worry about this, Uncle Huang. I, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, and Chen Deng are still very useful. I have already explained to them. With their support, Uncle Huang can rest assured." Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei again and said.

"Since this is the case, Liu Bei has the right to stay in Xuzhou for the time being and preside over Xuzhou for the governor. When the governor's health improves, Liu Bei will return the seal letter." Liu Bei thought about it, and felt that his play was done enough. If you accept the seal letter, you will miss the opportunity. Thinking of this, Liu Bei naturally reached out to take the seal letter, but he only said that he was watching for Tao Qian.In fact, with Tao Qian's current body, anyone can see that Tao Qian's time is running out, and it's good for Liu Bei to take advantage of Tao Qian's serious illness to get familiar with Xuzhou's affairs. Take over Xuzhou.
