Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

Stay in Xuzhou?

Liu Bei's face changed slightly, what is this?
Guest?

Why should I, Liu Bei, risk my life to protect Xuzhou?

Of course, Liu Bei did it for fame before.

As long as he can gain fame, people all over the world will know Liu Bei, and know that there is a clan like him in the Han Dynasty, who has been working hard to revitalize the Han Dynasty.

This time, one of the important reasons why Liu Bei came to Xuzhou from Beihai was to increase his reputation.

Another important reason is to continue to avoid the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao.

Otherwise, Gongsun Zan should naturally say, you Liu Bei went to rescue Beihai, and you have already solved Beihai's difficulties, why don't you come back to help me? What do you mean?

And now, Liu Bei has come to Xuzhou again, to help the people of Xuzhou resist Cao Cao's brutality.

If this matter got out, if Gongsun Zan dared to force Liu Bei to go back, he would be risking the displeasure of the world.

When the people of the world heard this, they would all praise Liu Bei's righteous deeds and Liu Bei's benevolence.

Talented people in the world will also know who Liu Bei is. After all, Cao Cao launched an army to attack Xuzhou and slaughtered the city all the way. Sooner or later, it will spread throughout the world.

However, this was Liu Bei's previous thought.

Now, Liu Bei's thinking has naturally undergone earth-shaking changes.

Tao Qian actually wanted to give up Xuzhou Mu's position to him.

A pie that suddenly fell from the sky.

If Tao Qian didn't say this, Liu Bei wouldn't have any thoughts.

But when Tao Qian said this, Liu Bei's thoughts became big and he got angry.

Xuzhou, I, Liu Bei, must get it, just this time.

Liu Bei is very clever.

He knew in his heart that if Tao Qian wanted to get Xuzhou, it was not enough. He had to get the support of Xuzhou gentry.

The largest gentry in Xuzhou is the Chen family in Pengcheng.

The current head of the Chen family is Mr. Chen Gui.

The rest of the gentry, as well as the Pengcheng Cao family, are represented by the military's Cao Bao.

There is also the Zhang family in Pengcheng, the representative is Zhang Zhao.

There is also the Zhang family in Guangling, represented by Zhang Hong.

There is also the Lu family in Xiapi country, the representative figure is Lu Su.

Both Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong moved their families to Yangzhou to avoid disaster because of Cao Cao's crusade against Xuzhou and excessive killing all the way.

And Lu Su is a native of Dongcheng in Xiapi State. Dongcheng is located in the southernmost part of Xuzhou and borders Yangzhou.

In addition, there is also the Zhao family in Langya. The representative is Zhao Yu, who is now serving as the prefect of Guangling.

There is also the Xiao family in Donghai County, the representative is Xiao Jian, who is now the Prime Minister of Langye.

There is also a Wang family in Donghai County, the representative is Wang Lang, Xuzhou Biejia, that is, the one who was scolded to death by Zhuge Liang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

In fact, it was a non-existent thing. Wang Lang later became an important minister of Cao Wei, which is quite remarkable.

As for the Mi family.

Although the wealth is incomparable to the country and the family wealth is countless, it is a family of merchants after all, similar to the Zhen family in Hebei, and its status is not high.

Therefore, although Liu Bei obtained Xuzhou from Tao Qian in history, these gentry either went south to Yangzhou, or ignored Liu Bei at all.

Only Mi Zhu has a good vision.

Not only did she marry her beautiful younger sister, Mi Zhen, to Liu Bei, a bad old man who was twice her age, but she even helped her with almost everything she could.

The reason why Tao Qian wants to let Xuzhou is not because he really wants to, it is because he does not have Liu Yan's means, nor Liu Biao's tricks, but he is just a Xuzhou shepherd who exists in name only.

Since these aristocratic families cannot be controlled, in case Cao Cao raises his troops again, it is better to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

For one thing, you can get a good reputation for Rangxian.

Secondly, Liu Bei led the army to fight really well. If he can stop Cao Cao's army, Tao Qian can also save his life.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Therefore, many people think that Tao Qian is the biggest beneficiary for letting Xuzhou go.

However, it was not so easy for Tao Qian to let Xuzhou go.

Tao Qian is willing to give in, and Liu Bei is willing to take it, but the gentry in Xuzhou may not agree.

Chen Gui, Wang Lang, and Zhang Zhao who hadn't gone south were all scheming, squinting their eyes and saying nothing.

Although Zhao Yu, Xiao Jian, Zhang Hong and others were not as old as Chen Gui, Wang Lang and Zhang Zhao, they had good concentration and kept silent.

Only Cao Bao's character became a little anxious and expressed his objection, but he was quite tactful, after all, Tao Qian had to save face.

Tao Qian is also an old fox. Turning his head to look, he knew that what Cao Bao said just now represented the meaning of these gentry.

"Zi Min's words are wrong." Tao Qian smiled slightly and explained, "Cao's army is powerful, but Xuande has only three thousand soldiers, how can he resist?"

"Cao Cao attacked fiercely with the power of a state. If Xuande can't resist with the power of Xuzhou, this battle will be lost."

"If this battle is defeated, I don't know how many people in Xuzhou will die in the flames of war, and the land of Xuzhou will also be under Cao Cao's brutal rule."

"You may all know that after Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, he used meritocracy as the criterion for selecting talents, which is completely contrary to the imperial court's system."

"If Cao Cao really occupies Xuzhou, do you think there are still a few people here who can keep their official positions and their family's status in Xuzhou?"

Tao Qian's words are cruel.

Xuzhou is bordered by Yanzhou, and what happened in Yanzhou can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of these Xuzhou gentry. Cao Cao did engage in meritocracy, regardless of his background.

Especially that Xi Zhicai, a Confucian scholar from a poor family, is the most popular in front of Cao Cao.

These gentry, when it comes to ability, that is, Chen Gui, Zhao Yu, and Wang Lang have strong abilities, and they can definitely be favored by Cao Cao.

As for Cao Bao, although he is not an idiot, he is still a second-rate general.

Seeing this, Tao Qian simply added another sentence, and said lightly: "Let's talk about the military. Once Cao Cao controls Xuzhou, I'm afraid Xu Wenxiang and Zang Xuangao will definitely be reused by Cao Cao."

In fact, Tao Qian's words are also very euphemistic.

Otherwise, it would be like this: Once Cao Cao controls Xuzhou, I am afraid Zimin and Zifang will have to stand aside.

Zimin is Cao Bao, and Zifang is Mi Fang.

Zang Ba and Cao Bao were at odds, and the whole Xuzhou knew about it.

Because Cao Bao was the general of Zhonglang and Zang Ba's boss, Zang Ba refused to accept it, so he took the official position of Xuzhou riding captain and stationed troops in Kaiyang.

And Xu Sheng, because he came from a poor family, his relationship with Cao Bao is also very ordinary.

Hearing Tao Qian's words, Cao Bao's expression changed slightly, he didn't say anything, and fell silent.

In the hall, it immediately became quiet.

Tao Qian asked loudly again: "For the sake of Xuzhou's plan, I want to let Xian and Liu Bei Liu Xuande alone, I wonder if anyone else thinks it's wrong?"

Neither Cao Cao nor Liu Bei are the bright masters these gentry want.

However, comparing these two people, they naturally prefer Liu Bei.

Since Liu Bei belongs to the Han Dynasty, he naturally would not ignore the nobles of the gentry.

As for Cao Cao, he is a descendant of an eunuch, and he is really unreliable in doing things.

At this time, Mi Zhu said: "Your Majesty is wise, and my subordinate Mi Zhu is willing to regard Liu Bei as the Lord of Xuzhou."

Mi Fang followed immediately: "The last will second the proposal."

Cao Bao said unwillingly: "The last general will second."

Zhang Zhaodu is planning to move south, so naturally he won't make enemies: "The lower officials seconded the proposal."
