My understanding is against the heavens, I will build an eternal destiny in the Three Kingdoms

"Various reasons?"

After Zhang Lu heard this, he looked at Zuo Ci's expression and said with amusement:"It seems that there is an interesting story in it! Brother Yuan Fang, could you please tell me? I'm curious?"

He felt that Zuo Ci was afraid that he had tricked those fellow Taoists, so he didn't dare to bring them in?

"Ah ha ha! After Zuo Ci heard this

, he immediately laughed and dropped the topic and said,"This still won't work!" It’s not convenient to say it right now!"

"Wait until later! When the time comes in the future, Brother Gongqi, you will naturally know!"

I won't tell you!

Otherwise, before I can comfort and convince my fellow Taoists, you might as well tell them first and cause trouble for me!

He is not stupid!

"Fine!"

Zhang Lu listened and did not continue to ask questions or joke. He still understood when enough was enough.

Otherwise, it would be bad to offend Zuo Ci.

After that, with Zhang Lu's full cooperation, Hanzhong secretly fell into Su Xuan's hands smoothly In his hands.

With the cooperation of the secret guards, Zhang Lu and the Su Chamber of Commerce, Su Xuan quickly took control of Hanzhong's troops, important official positions, and economic lifeline. When the time comes, he can easily merge Hanzhong Su Xuan came under the rule.

Even with the help of Zhang Lu, the secret guards began to infiltrate Jianmen Pass and other places to prepare for Su Xuan's capture of Shu in the future.

Of course, there were some minor twists and turns in the process.

After Zhang Lu's younger brother knew the truth, he naturally wanted to object at first, but he was quickly convinced.

It can only be said that Su Xuan gave too much, and it was all what they dreamed of.

On the Bingzhou side,

With Su Xuan's affirmation and support, Jiajiu quickly reorganized his troops, and then began to infiltrate Shangdang County and other places.

In just a few days, they successfully captured Shangdang County and Taiyuan County, and began to attack the surrounding Huns and Xianbei people.

For a time, Bingzhou became lively.

Under such circumstances, Yuan Shao first defeated Gongsun Zan, so that Gongsun Zan had to retreat to Youzhou.

Yuan Shao then began Seize the opportunity to pursue the victory.

At the same time,

Lu Bu had a new plan in Xuzhou. He directly bypassed Xiapi City and began to attack other parts of Donghai County, Taishan County and Langye County.

However, in more than a month, Lu Bu successively captured He conquered the entire Taishan County and subdued Zang Ba; he captured the entire Langye County and a small part of Donghai County, directly causing Tao Qian to lose most of Xuzhou.

During this period, Tao Qian did not fail to send Liu Bei and the others out of the city to fight against Lu Bu.

As a result, there is no doubt that it failed.

It caused a lot of losses to Liu Bei and the others.

In fact, if Liu Bei and the others hadn't run fast, Liu Bei might have died in Lu Bu's hands.

Even Guan and Zhang would definitely not be able to please them.

In Under this situation, Liu Bei and the others naturally did not dare to leave the city to fight easily.

Faced with Lu Bu's encroachment, Tao Qian, who was already in poor health, immediately fell into a terminally ill state.

Tao Qian, who realized that his time was running out, had no choice but to , he could only call Liu Bei and said to him:"Xuande! I'm dying!"

"How could this be?"

Liu Bei looked at Tao Qian, who was already as thin as wood and with a haggard face. Although he was very happy and excited in his heart, he still looked sad on the surface and said:"Tao Gong, don't talk nonsense. I believe that you are a good person with your own destiny! It will get better!"

"It's not getting better!

After hearing this, Tao Qian shook his head bitterly and said,"I know my body very well!" This time the deadline is really approaching!"

"Now, the only two things I can't let go of are Xuzhou and my wife and children!"

"I know very well that my two sons are just mediocre people, and even under normal circumstances, they cannot defend Xuzhou;"

"Not to mention, most of Xuzhou was already occupied by Lu Bu at this time! They are even worse!"

"As for me in Xuzhou now, only you, Mr. Xuande, can possibly defend Xuzhou on my behalf!"

"Therefore, I want to entrust the throne of Qi and Xuzhou to you, Mr. Xuande!"

"I just ask you to be kind to the people of Xuzhou, and at the same time, ensure the safety of my family. Please agree!"

If he didn't pass the blame to Liu Bei at this time, he was worried that his Tao family would be in danger of being exterminated.

After all, this is a fight between princes and kings!

Fights at this level have never been They all end with the annihilation of one clan and the eradication of the roots.

Tao Qian knew that he was about to die, so he naturally did not want to see this scene.

Since his son would definitely not be able to defend Xuzhou, and even Xuzhou itself now only has Less than half of the time, it is better to give up the throne of Qi and Xuzhou to Liu Bei, and let him control Xuzhou instead of the Tao family and become the new king of Qi.

In this way, the Tao family will become an ordinary gentry again.

As long as they remain in the future If you keep a low profile, don't fight or grab, and don't participate in the fight for hegemony among the princes, you can definitely save the family, right? The current throne of Qi and Xuzhou are a hot potato in the hands of the Tao family, and they can't wait to throw them away as soon as possible.

"this....Why did Tao Gong say this?"

Liu Bei heard this. Although he was very moved in his heart, on the surface he still quickly declined in panic and said:"Do you think I'm here to covet your inheritance?"

"This is too underestimating me, Liu Bei!"

"I, Liu Bei, came to support you, Mr. Tao, not for Xuzhou, but for morality!"

"You are trying to trap me into injustice! Please also ask Mr. Tao not to say this."

In the past, there were three concessions before abdicating the throne.

Even if Liu Bei saw that Tao Qian was really about to die and sincerely wanted to give up the throne to him, Liu Bei couldn't just accept it directly.

Otherwise, what would the world do? Look at him?

They will definitely call him hypocritical and a thief.

This is not what Liu Bei wants to see.

He also wants to continue to build his character and reputation as a benevolent and righteous man!

This is also a very important part of his future hegemony. Huan.

He has long seen it through. If a hero wants to succeed, he must establish a distinctive personality. Only in this way can he truly attract a group of people who appreciate his personality and like him.

"Why!"

Tao Qian was no fool. He was particularly keen at this time and naturally saw that Liu Bei's heart was moved and some of Liu Bei's thoughts.

He immediately persuaded again:"Mr. Xuande! Do you want to abandon the people of Xuzhou and watch them suffer and fall into Lu Bu's hands?"

"You are a benevolent and righteous king! The people of Xuzhou have seen what you have done for the people of Xuzhou during this period, and they also admire you very much;"

"Do you have the heart to watch them suffer or even die?"

Although Tao Qian felt disgusted, for the sake of the Tao family's life, he still had to continue to persuade Liu Bei with hypocrisy.

Fortunately, he was not in vain in the officialdom in the past and his acting skills are still very good..

Be as disgusting as you want! As long as the future of the Tao family can be ensured.

In addition, the more Liu Bei behaves like this, the more he can see that this man is a tolerant and scheming hero, a man who does great things.

He himself also You must have seen the right person.

Such Liu Bei should be able to fight against Lu Bu and protect the Tao family.

"this....."

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said with a wry smile:"Tao Gong, you are trying to force me! But even if I am willing to take on this responsibility, I am afraid that the civil and military personnel under your command will not be able to obey me. Therefore, this matter It's better not to mention it again!"

He made this very clear. You can agree if you want me to, but you, Tao Qian, have to help me convince these civil and military ministers to surrender to me.

Otherwise, I won’t be able to secure my position as the Lord of Xuzhou!

When the time comes, how can we stop or even defeat Lu Bu?

Tao Qian also understood what he said, and immediately replied:"Don't worry about this, I have already discussed it with Yuan Long and Cao Bao!"

"They all recognize your character and abilities, Mr. Xuande, and are willing to support you in becoming the King of Qi and the Lord of Xuzhou;"

"As long as you accept this, nothing will be a problem!"

In itself, Xuzhou cannot withstand the struggle now.

If they are not united internally, they will soon be completely defeated and occupied by Lu Bu.

But in view of Lu Bu's actions in other counties in Xuzhou, Chen Deng and Cao Bao would rather let Liu Bei take control of Xuzhou and become the new lord of Xuzhou than Lu Bu take control of Xuzhou. You know, when Lu Bu captured Taishan County in Xuzhou and other places, he treated the local nobles tyrannically wherever he went. Robbery carried out by big families.

Well! It doesn’t count as robbery, it means directly forcibly collecting a large amount of money and food from them.

In Taishan County and other places, there are many industries and money and food of officials such as the Chen Deng family and the Cao Bao family..

Therefore, they all suffered heavy losses.

How could they still accept Lu Bu's rule over Xuzhou?

They even wanted to kill Lu Bu.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, Lu Bu's men have strong soldiers and horses, strong strength, and domineering personality.

If it is true Let Lu Bu take control of Xuzhou and become the lord of Xuzhou. How will they control Lu Bu in the future?

How will they gain benefits?

In comparison, there are only five or six thousand soldiers and horses under his command at this time, and the generals can only be closed, and the civil servants are even more There is only one Jian Yong and one Sun Qian.

In addition, Liu Bei is hypocritical and likes to be benevolent and righteous.

This is much easier to control than Lu Bu.

In summary, all the powerful nobles in Xuzhou are indeed willing to support Liu Bei to become the new leader of Xuzhou host

"this...."

Liu Bei was stunned after hearing this. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

He really didn’t expect that these gentry officials in Xuzhou would really be willing to support him.

This is a huge surprise!

"Could it be that they were moved and impressed by my name of benevolence and righteousness? Impressed by my charisma?"

Liu Bei couldn't help but think ecstatically in his heart.

Thinking of this, he even had the urge to burst into tears.

He has simply set up a benevolent and righteous character, is it finally going to bear fruit?

"Don't hesitate! Lord Xuande! Ahem....Just agree! This is my last plea! please!"

Tao Qian coughed and asked Liu Bei.

"Why! After hearing this

, Liu Bei sighed, and then saluted Tao Qian with a cautious look on his face:"If that, then Liu Bei would rather be respectful than obey his orders!""

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Xuzhou and I will never let Lu Bu take over Xuzhou!"

"At the same time, I will also be kind to the people of Xuzhou, protect Tao Gong’s family, and let them live their lives in peace!"

Tao Qian said this, with full sincerity, and basically gave out all the conditions that should be given. Liu Bei did not dare to refuse any more.

Otherwise, he was worried that he would be self-defeating and make Tao Qian really mistakenly think that he was really If someone is not interested in Xuzhou and chooses someone else to take over Xuzhou, he would be blind.

The most important thing is to stop in moderation.[]

"Hahaha...cough cough cough!!"

After Tao Qian heard this, he laughed out loud with joy. His body was involved, and he couldn't help coughing again. It took a while to calm down, and then he said to Liu Bei:"That's it, that's great!"

"Someone is coming! Go and call Tao Shang, Tao Ying, Mr. Yuan Long, and Cao Bao! I have something to tell them"

"Here!"

Soon, Chen Deng, Cao Bao, Tao Shang and others came here.

Tao Qian said directly to them:"You are all here! I have already made an agreement with Mr. Xuande! He is also willing to take over the throne of Qi and become the new Lord of Xuzhou!"

"From now on, you should regard him as the Lord of Xuzhou and assist Lord Xuande in controlling Xuzhou. Is there any problem?"

"I have no objection! After hearing this

, Chen Deng and others shook their heads, and then saluted Liu Bei and said,"We have met Mr. Xuande!""

"hehe! I'm so embarrassed! I'm so embarrassed! Everyone, please get up quickly!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he saw this, but on the surface he pretended to be humble and panicked and helped Chen Deng and others up.

"I will need more care from you in the future!"

"I first came to Xuzhou not long ago, and I am very unfamiliar with everything here. To stabilize Xuzhou, I still need your support and help!"

It's done! He is really going to become the King of Qi and the Lord of Xuzhou.

Even people like Chen Deng are willing to surrender to him and do things for him. Liu Bei is simply elated.

How has he ever received such treatment?

Those in the past Which nobleman is not above the top and looks down on him?

Finally, is he going to survive?

Some subtle changes in Liu Bei's eyes did not escape Chen Deng's attention.

Chen Deng suddenly smiled coldly in his heart:"Haha! This Liu Bei is really hypocritical!"

"You obviously want it very much, you are obviously happy, and yet you still pretend to be scared and moved. It's simply disgusting."

"It's a pity that you won't know in a short time that I have already become His Majesty's servant!"

"Supporting you now is just to capture your power and temporarily hold Xuzhou, so that you can invade other princes and weaken the strength of several of you princes!"

"You don’t really think that I really want to surrender to you, do you?"

"Compared to my lord Su Xuan, who are you Liu Bei? hehe!"

Of course, these words are just in Chen Deng's mind, and he will not say them out.

Otherwise, he is afraid that Liu Bei and his two sworn brothers will come out and chop him.

Liu Bei has always been just a person in Chen Deng's eyes. Just a tool guy. ps: Please order first, customize, and support!
