Chapter 409: Tao Qian let Xuzhou
"Hah! This Liu Da'er, I didn't expect to really run in like that. Seeing this, Cao Cao smiled dumbly. Although your plan was to rush in, but seeing that the enemy actually took the initiative to get out of the way, no matter how you thought about it, there should be a deception, but Liu Bei didn't even think about it, so he ran in, which was even more chaotic than Cao Cao at the beginning.
Liu Bei estimated that there was no way, under normal circumstances, staying outside and cooperating with Tao Qian was the best way to deal with it. But now, Liu Bei stays outside and no one provides him with food at all, not to mention that his little people may be annihilated by us at any time, even if we ignore him, Liu Bei will not last long. And the most important thing is that Tao Qian insisted on sticking to it, and it was absolutely impossible to rush out and cooperate with Liu Bei. So it could only be Liu Bei who rushed in to help Tao Qian defend the city. If there are three or five thousand people, it will still be somewhat helpful to defend the city. Guo Jia analyzed.
"That's the best, anyway, we have already made up our minds to besiege them and starve them to death. If more people go in, Tao Qian will run out of food for a period of time. Moreover, Liu Bei, as an outsider, can still be concentric internally when there is enough grain and grass, but when there is insufficient grain and grass, there will be contradictions within them. Cao Cao said with a smile, it is conceivable that once the grain and grass in Xiapi City are insufficient, first of all, there will definitely be a part of the surrender faction to stand up, and then, compared to the outsider Liu Bei, he must first meet the food supply of his own people. And once the army food supply brought by Liu Bei becomes less and there is no food to eat, even if Liu Bei can endure it, Zhang Fei can't help it! They are here to help, they don't even care about their own lives, they come to save you Tao Qian. As a result, you Tao Qian can't even guarantee a bowl of rice, what is this!
Then there will be recriminations. The locals of Xiapi would accuse Liu Bei and others of wasting their food; And Liu Bei and his entourage will accuse Tao Qian of being unkind. If it is said that Xiapi was originally able to support for three months. So now that Liu Bei and his entourage have arrived, Xiapi can only hold out for two months.
However, Liu Bei is not Tao Qian. My Brother Yun's personality is still a fierce general like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and I think the lord also knows something. Although he is also defending the city, Tao Qian can't hold on, and Liu Bei's people may run out from time to time to rush out and kill them. Guo Jia opened his mouth to remind.
Cao Cao touched his chin,
"It's a problem, use Dian Wei to block Zilong. However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are temporarily unstoppable. I was going to try your catapult, but now it seems like I'd better forget it. Continue to surround like this, let Yu Ban be careful, to prevent someone from running out late at night to attack the camp. Cao Cao said.
The winner is king, and the loser is the loser! As long as Xiapi is defeated, then no matter whether Liu Bei is occupying the righteousness now, or Zhao Yun who he gets, there will be no meaning at that time. This is also the reason why Cao Cao is so calm now, because of him now. And I really haven't found any reason that could lead to failure!
That's why Cao Cao said that Liu Bei was stupid, and if he came up at this time, he was simply here to die!
"Now that Liu Bei has entered the city, why don't we add a fire to them immediately?" Guo Jia said suddenly.
"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up
Let's say that Liu Bei led troops into the city. Tao Qian immediately put down his identity and led the ministers to meet in person. Words of gratitude and praise. Tao Qian has Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, etc., and Liu Bei is naturally the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang. plus one Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.
Zhao Yun was a fierce general under Cao Cao before, and Tao Qian naturally knew this very well. Now I heard that Zhao Yun couldn't get used to Cao Cao's slaughtering of the city, so he left Cao Cao, and now he went to Liu Bei and deliberately rushed back to stop Cao Cao. The present couldn't help but express their respect to Zhao Yun alone.
While everyone was talking, someone suddenly came to report that Cao Cao had sent an envoy to deliver a letter.
Tao Qian hurriedly took it and looked at it, his face suddenly changed, he was entangled for a while, suddenly sat down on the chair, sighed and said,
"That's it, that's it, since this matter started because of me, Cao Cao came to avenge his father, in order not to kill again, I will tie myself up to see Cao Cao."
"My lord! No! This is Cao Cao's plan! Even if you die, Cao Cao will not give up Xuzhou! Mi Zhu suddenly shouted.
"Yes, my lord, if you are gone, who will handle the state affairs!" Chen Deng followed.
"Tao Gong, please think twice!" Liu Bei also persuaded beside him.
Tao Qian suddenly turned to Liu Bei and said,
"Liu Gong is the head of the emperor's family, his virtue is high, after my death, Liu Gong can lead Xuzhou!"
Everyone at the scene was shocked, they never thought that Tao Qian would suddenly say such a thing, is this a blatant temptation? As a result, Tao Qian continued,
"Cao Cao's letter is very clear, he only wants my life, if I can't believe him, I can give Xuzhou to Liu Xuande. Once I die, if Cao Cao still insists on attacking, the people of Xuzhou can continue to fight against him under the leadership of Liu Xuande, and breaking his promise in this situation will not benefit him Cao Cao at all. ”
After listening to Tao Qian's words, before others could react, Liu Bei immediately said,
"No! Kong Beihai asked Liu Bei to save Xuzhou for a great righteousness. Now there is no reason to do it, and the world will definitely think that I, Liu Bei, am an unrighteous person! ”
Conspiracy! It's definitely a conspiracy! Not to mention whether Tao Qian is testing or not, just saying that Cao Cao wrote such a letter must be a conspiracy! Even if you Cao Cao really only planned to kill Tao Qian, why did he let Liu Bei, who had just arrived, lead Xuzhou Mu instead of Tao Qian?! Does anyone else trust him Liu Bei? Does anyone else obey him Liu Bei? Why can't others replace Tao Qian to lead Xuzhou Mu?
Like Mi Zhu, like Chen Deng, which one is not a virtuous and talented person? And compared to Liu Bei, an outsider, as a local scholar, it is easier for them to dominate this place in Xuzhou! Especially in this kind of war period, only by passing on the throne to the original descendants will there be no chaos. At this time, it was suddenly passed on to an outsider who was not familiar with anyone, and it was strange that there was no internal problem!
So at this time, Liu Bei couldn't and didn't dare to accept it, no matter how willing he was in his heart.
Tao Qian continued,
"Today, the Han dynasty is declining, the sea is subverted, and the achievements are being established, which is at this time. Xuzhou is rich, with a million household registrations, Liu Zhijun leads this, and it is impossible to resign! ”
Liu Bei shook his head and said,
"I will never dare to respond to this matter!"
Tao Qian said again,
"I'm frail and sickly, and I've been gradually unable to handle official business recently, so please don't quit!"
Liu Bei still shook his head, and then said,
"Yuan Highway is the fourth and third dukes, the sea is home, and it is close to Shouchun, why not let it go to the state?"
In other words, Yuan Shu really said that if Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to him, he Yuan Shu would come to the rescue.
"The dry bones in the Yuan Highway mound, why worry about it!"
One sentence for the two of you, one sentence for me, Tao Qian pushed again and again, but Liu Bei just didn't accept it. Seeing that the people next to him couldn't stand it anymore, Guan Yu couldn't help but say,
"Since the Tao Gong gave in, the eldest brother and the right to take the state affairs first." (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
