The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Smiling, Liu Bei asked politely, "Why did Yuanlong call me?"

During the banquet, he talked with the Chen family father and son.His father, Chen Gui, is an unfathomable old fox with exquisite faces, but his son has a calm personality and extensive knowledge, which makes Liu Bei very fond of him.

Chen Deng has a straightforward temperament and doesn't beat around the bush. He thinks that Liu Bei is a very good person who can accomplish great things, so he makes plans for him: "Now the Han Dynasty is late, Haiyu is overthrown, and it is time to make contributions. Xuzhou Yin Fu, With a household registration of one million, if Duke Xuande can use this as a foundation, he can achieve great success!"

For a person in his 30s who has not yet achieved a career, especially for an ambitious person like Liu Bei, this kind of temptation is enough to break the sky.

However, Liu Bei held back.

He was worried that Chen Deng was just testing himself, so he said seriously: "It is righteousness to save Xuzhou this time! Now that there is no reason for it, the world will prepare for the unrighteous, and it is really hard to obey."

Fame, this is what Liu Bei cares about most.

It is precisely because he is afraid of being criticized by others, that Liu Bei cannot be decisive in many things.

At least, for now.

"It's too late to regret if you don't take it!"

Chen Deng sighed and walked away gradually.

"Brother, since Tao Qian took the initiative to gift Xuzhou to such a good opportunity at the banquet just now, why didn't you agree to come down?" When there was no one around, the panicked Zhang Fei finally couldn't help it.

At the banquet, his elder brother rejected Tao Qian again and again, Zhang Fei saw it, and felt anxious in his heart, wishing he could stand up by himself and agree to it for his elder brother.

Although Guan Yu didn't say anything, he still had doubts in his heart.

"We're new here, we don't have the slightest foundation here, and we're here in the name of saving Xuzhou. If I happily take the position of Xuzhou Mu at this time, it's hard to say whether I can sit still.

But what will the world think of me?They will say that I, Liu Bei, am a hypocritical jackal, a rat who deceives the world and steals his name.In this way, who else will sincerely serve me in the future? "

Liu Bei expressed his inner worries.

He does not have the shadow of his ancestors, nor does he have strong military strength.If you want to win people's hearts, you can only rely on yourself to accumulate fame step by step until everyone in the world recognizes you.

Liu Bei believes in benevolence, righteousness and people's hearts, but Zhang Fei doesn't believe in this. He pointed to the west and shouted: "Brother, you are the benevolence of a woman. Look at Lu Bu and Cao Cao, who is telling you about etiquette and morality?" , They only believe in fists. Big brother, don’t you understand such a simple truth as winning?”

"Third brother, pay attention to your attitude." Guan Yu reminded.

"Hey, such a good opportunity is right in front of us, but my elder brother refuses to take it, it really drives me crazy!"

Zhang Fei clenched his fists and pounded heavily on the stone wall of the corridor.

Zhang Fei was in a hurry, and Liu Bei also knew that he was thinking of himself, so he stepped forward and patted Zhang Fei's shoulder lightly, with his own belief in his gentle tone: "Violence will only bring about killing, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the hearts of the people." world."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the dark room, half a candle was burning.

There are only three Tao family father and son.

"Father, do you really want to give up Xuzhou to Liu Bei?" Tao Ying, the second son of the Tao family, sounded slightly dissatisfied.

"Second brother, you are stupid. This Xuzhou was managed by my father with painstaking efforts. It belongs to our Tao family. When will he get his surname Liu to sit here. Our father, this is testing him!"

In comparison, the eldest son Tao Shang seems to be much shrewd.

"It's a temptation, but——it's also serious."

Tao Qian gave the answer and sighed leisurely.As long as the two sons can be a little promising, he will not entrust Xuzhou to outsiders.

Knowing son Moruo father.

Tao Qian knew very well that the two sons were not suitable for being an official at all.If Xuzhou is passed on to his son, sooner or later it will be taken by others, and the Tao family is likely to be destroyed.

This is not the result Tao Qian wants to see.

"Why, father, Xuzhou was managed by you through hard work. Wouldn't it be a pity to give it up to others like this?" Tao Ying was very annoyed. He would rather his elder brother pottery take the state animal husbandry position than see Xuzhou fall into it. In the hands of people with foreign surnames.

"I have taught you for decades, but in the end, you two are still short-sighted. If my father handed over Xuzhou to you, it would be a disaster for the people of Xuzhou and the entire Tao family."

Tao Qian glanced at the faces of his two sons, mourning their misfortune and angering them.

Although the Tao brothers are not very capable, but fortunately they are obedient.Even in the face of his father's reprimand, he never dared to refute and listened honestly.

"Let me ask you, Liu Bei said to write a letter to Cao Cao to make peace, do you think Cao Cao will agree?" Tao Qian sorted out his thoughts for his two sons.

The two brothers shook their heads at the same time, with Cao Cao's temper, definitely not.

"Since it won't happen, Cao Cao will definitely lead his troops to commit another crime. Let me ask, can Liu Bei's soldiers stop Cao Cao's army?"

The two brothers shook their heads again, probably very nervous.

"Cao Cao insisted that I killed his father, so after he entered the city, the first thing he would do would be to kill us father and son. At that time, what should I do if people use swords and I use fish?"

The two brothers were silent. Before that, they hadn't thought about it at all.

"So, for my father, I just thought about it. Why not just throw this hot potato to Liu Bei. As long as he is willing to take over, my father will retire and return to Danyang to avoid disaster."

At the same time, this is also a good time to test Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei takes over Xuzhou without hesitation, it means that he is a jackal wrapped in human skin, and he will try to avoid it in the future.

Fortunately, Liu Bei didn't take over, which means that this person at least knows propriety, righteousness and shame, and even if he takes the position of Xuzhou Mu in the future, he won't embarrass the Tao family.

Seeing Mi Zhu's attitude towards Liu Bei at the banquet, Tao Qian was even a little skeptical, and the two had already hooked up in private.

However, this is no longer important.

"I'm old, and I may only have a year or two left to live. To put it bluntly, what's the point of letting me sit in that position now?"

In his prime, Tao Qian had ambitions.But now, he only thinks about how to protect the Tao family in this troubled time, not to be overwhelmed by the dust of history.

"You two brothers, don't think about grand plans and hegemony. You are not that material, and you can't play with others. Living to pass on the Tao family is more important than anything else."

After living for more than sixty years, Tao Qian could see clearly that even if he escaped Cao Cao this time, there would still be Lu Bu and Yuan Shao next time.

These careerists will not let Xuzhou stop.

The two brothers Tao Shang and Tao Ying were unwilling, but their father's order was hard to disobey, so they had to nod in agreement.

…………

Thirty miles away from Tan County, tens of thousands of military tents were set up.

Cao Jun's soldiers had all rested, and they were extremely exhausted after several days of attacking fortified positions.

Only the big tent of the Chinese army is still lit with fire, which is very bright.
