Liu Yu looked at Cao Cao's intelligence on killing Xuzhou, and smiled.

Although Tao Qian wiped out all the evidence of the crime, there was almost no way for ordinary people to find out. But Liu Yu is different, he has installed a lot of "shadow" spies in Xuzhou. In order to make trouble for Cao Cao and Tao Qian, Liu Yu instructed the "dark department" to poke out this matter and let the two of them start fighting each other.

Liu Yu has recently taken over the "Shadow Department" with his own hands, and Li Gui, the leader, is now taking care of his father. Li Gui told Steward Li very frankly that Li Fu died at his hands, and confided the truth before and after. Steward Li's white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and the eldest son betrayed Liu Yu, the brothers killed each other, and under the stimulation, they fell ill.

Liu Yu personally visited Steward Li, but Steward Li just kept crying. Liu Yu knew that Steward Li would not be able to recover for a while, so he deliberately gave Li Gui a long vacation to take good care of him.

After Liu Yu personally accepted the "dark department", he realized how much work Li Gui usually had, and there were thousands of pieces of information gathered to Liu Yu every day. Fortunately, the "dark department" has formed a work system, and there is a special person in charge of each work, and Liu Yu has the right to make decisions.

Liu Yu instructed the "dark department" to pay attention to the battle situation in Xuzhou and the news of Yuan Shu recently.

Liu Yu now does not dare to guarantee what the ending will be between Cao Cao and Tao Qian, in history, because of Lu Bu's raid, Cao Cao hastily withdrew his troops, and now Lu Bu is staying here with Liu Yu, no one will stab Cao Cao, and I don't know what the situation is.

Yuan Shu has been building a huge palace recently, Liu Yu feels that this goods should be about to be called the emperor, and when the situation is very chaotic, Liu Yu can come out to pick peaches.

Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian is panicked now, he doesn't know that he poked out the matter of killing Cao Song. Now he has no time to investigate who it is, Cao Cao's army has entered Xuzhou, many cities have been breached, the people in order to escape the war, each fled from their homes, some hid in the deep mountains and old forests, some fled to the rear of the city, and some fled directly to other states and counties, Xuzhou's population loss is very serious.

Tao Qian's soldiers and horses are very strong, and the Danyang soldiers are the most powerful combat power under Tao Qian's command. However, no matter how strong a soldier is, without a qualified commander, he will not be able to bring into play the combat effectiveness of the troops. Tao Qian himself has the ability to command, but unfortunately he is too old to continue to lead the troops. And Tao Qian's subordinates are almost all straw bales who can only talk about empty words, and they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and in the face of the menacing Cao Jun, they all act as shrinking turtles. was a little bloody, and because of the lack of ability and unequal strength, he was quickly broken by Cao Cao. In this way, the situation in Xuzhou became more and more unfavorable to Tao Qian.

Tao Qian really wants to give himself a big mouth, why is he so angry when he is so old, now it's okay, it's a pleasure to kill Cao Song, but now that Cao Cao has come to kill him, the waste under his command can't block Cao Cao's attack, which makes Tao Qian very angry.

It's useless to get on fire, Cao Cao is unstoppable and killed, and he can't prevent it, so he can only ask for foreign help.

But Tao Qian had friction with the surrounding princes before, Shouchun's Yuan Shu was planning to find an opportunity to come to Xuzhou to get a piece of the pie, Tao Qian knew what Yuan Shu's virtues were, and letting Yuan Shu help was equivalent to luring a wolf into the room, so Yuan Shu couldn't count on it, and Tao Qian didn't dare.

Other princes can't count on it, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are good friends, and their friendship with Yuan Shao is not deep enough for Yuan Shao to send troops. Even if Yuan Shao wanted to help Tao Qian, he didn't have the time and troops to help him now. Yuan Shao is now preparing to take advantage of Liu Yu's turtle to shrink the defense line and kill Gongsun Zhan.

As for Liu Yu, Tao Qian didn't dare to be delusional, he had followed the crowd to condemn Liu Yu before.

In desperation, Tao Qian could only ask Kong Rong in Beihai for help.

After Kong Rong received Tao Qian's letter for help, he scolded Tao Qian for being shameless, when he was in trouble before, he begged Tao Qian to help, but Tao Qian didn't come a single soldier, and sat back and watched himself be destroyed. Fortunately, with the blessing of Sage Kong, Kong Rong was saved from extinction, and now that Tao Qian is in trouble, it is still a self-inflicted trouble, of course Kong Rong will not send troops.

However, Kong Rong's subordinates stopped Kong Rong, who was about to refuse, and vaguely said that Kong Rong could let the person who was in Beihai not leave.

That's right, this person is Liu Bei.

Since Liu Bei helped Kong Rong out of danger last time, he has been relying on Beihai and not leaving. Liu Bei had a great kindness to Kong Rong, and Kong Rong couldn't open his mouth and let Liu Bei leave. Liu Bei also treats Beihai as his own home, eats what he should eat, plays what he should play, and even constantly communicates with Kong Rong's subordinates, frequently going in and out of various wealthy families in Beihai, and constantly digging Kong Rong's corners. Kong Rong was furious, but because of Liu Bei's kindness, he didn't dare to say it directly.

Now that Tao Qian came to ask for help, and after his subordinates mentioned it, Kong Rong remembered Liu Bei, who had made him depressed recently, isn't now the best time to send away this plague god.

Kong Rong couldn't wait to run to Liu Bei's residence and communicate with him.

Kong Rong put Tao Qian's situation in great danger, and kept touting Liu Bei, saying that as soon as Liu Bei came out, then Tao Qian's danger could be solved at once.

Liu Bei pondered for a long time, but he was not fooled by Kong Rong. Liu Beilai is on the Beihai side, and he also wants to develop his strength on the Beihai side, but Kong Rong has begun to restrain Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei's wishful thinking cannot continue. Liu Bei also wanted to leave Beihai, but there was nowhere to go, so he could only stay here for the time being. Now that Xuzhou is in danger and needs help from others, then it is the best place for Liu Bei. And Xuzhou is very rich, if you have the opportunity to get this place, it can be compared to a dozen Beihai.

After thinking about it again, Liu Bei said awe-inspiringly: "Bei is the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, after King Jing of Zhongshan, how can the clan relatives of the Han family watch Xuzhou Assassin Shi being murdered, Master Kong can rest assured, I will go to Xuzhou now." ”

Liu Bei's words made Kong Rong's heart bloom, and this plague god finally agreed.

However, Liu Bei is not unconditional, he hopes that Kong Rong can lend him some soldiers and horses, not much, only 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Kong Rong was furious when he saw Liu Bei's lion open his mouth, but in order to send away this plague god, Kong Rong also endured it, and after bargaining, Liu Bei got eight thousand soldiers and horses and a month's grain and grass from Kong Rong. Kong Rong was in a big pain.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the three of them marched majestically to Xuzhou with 8,000 soldiers and horses.

Kong Rong, who was standing on the city wall, swore that he would never have any communication with Liu Bei, the plague god, in the future.
