Kong Rong welcomed Liu Bei and others into the city and held a banquet in their honor. above the banquet The two parties complimented each other, then sat down at the table and toasted to drink, chatting happily.
After three rounds of drinking.
"Xuande, this is the work of Xuzhou Biejia.
His surname is Mi, his given name is Zhu, and his courtesy name is Zizhong.
Now Cao Cao is commanding troops to plunder Xuzhou, and he came here to ask for help.
This time Beihai is besieged, and Zizhong is also helping him."
Kong Rong said.
Then, they talked about Zhang Kai's killing of Cao Song.
Hear the words.
Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu and felt a little envious of Tao Qian for having such a loyal and loyal adviser, so he handed over his hands and said: "Tao Gongzu is a benevolent and righteous gentleman.
He will never do such a thing.
He just suffered this innocent injustice.
Cao Cao did a bit too much." " "Xuande is a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
Now Cao Cao is using his troops to burn, kill and loot in Xuzhou, harming the people of Xuzhou and relying on the strong to bully the weak.
Why don't you join me in sending troops to help?"
Kong Rong persuaded.
Now Beihai has suffered certain losses because Guan Hai led his troops to attack.
With Mi Zhu's previous persuasion, he also wanted to bring Liu Bei together and raise troops to Xuzhou to help.
Liu Bei fell silent.
He already knew what happened in Xuzhou.
Not only did he know it, but there was no one in the world who held great power who didn't know about it, but no one sent troops to help.
He wants to send troops to help, so that he can gain some good reputation, which is also good for him, but when he thinks that Cao Cao has a Qingzhou Army of 300,000, and then looks at his own net worth, he is not of the same level at all.
The rest of the people If you don't send troops to help, don't you want to fight Cao Cao head-on?
The 300,000 Qingzhou Army is no joke.
Then he said helplessly: "It's not that I want to shirk it, but I don't have many soldiers under my command, so I can't do anything."
"The reason why I want to rescue Tao Gongzu is because of the old righteousness, but it is also because of the great righteousness.
To protect the people of Xuzhou from the chaos of swordsmanship, doesn't Xuande have a righteous heart in his heart?
What's more, Gongzu also sent people to Qingzhou Tian Kai is asking for help.
When the time comes, we can unite together, so why not fear Cao Cao?"
Kong Rong persuaded.
Liu Bei thought for a while, although the emperor was now in the hands of Li Jue and others, Cao Cao did not dare to go too far, and there were still many soldiers and horses, so he might not be able to fight by then.
All he had to do was persuade Cao Cao to retreat. , but even if you want to go, you have to make arrangements.
He cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I would like to ask Prefect Kong to go ahead and allow me to go to Gongsun Zan and borrow three to five thousand troops and horses, and then I will rush to Xuzhou immediately."
"Xuande, please don't make a mistake," Kong Rong said.
Liu Bei said sternly: "Does Governor Kong think I am that kind of person?
The sage said: All people have died since ancient times, and people cannot stand without faith."
When I go this time, whether I borrow troops or horses, I will definitely go to Xuzhou in person to meet with Kong.
Together with the prefects, we can relieve Xuzhou’s predicament.”
"I wrongly blamed Xuande, so I will punish myself with a drink," Kong Rong said with a smile.
Mi Zhu also stood up, raised his glass and said, "Master Tao, I would like to thank Prime Minister Pingyuan."
He is not Kong Rong, and he cannot call Liu Bei by his name, only by his official position.
Liu Bei was not pretentious and raised his glass.
You must know that he also wants to have counselors, especially loyal counselors.
After all, he only has two sworn brothers under his command.
Guan Yu is okay, Zhang Fei is more than brave, but lacks strategy.

It's okay to make friends, but it's also okay to leave an impression.
Kong Rong, Liu Bei, and Mi Zhu drank it all in one gulp.
Immediately, Kong Rong looked at everyone present, and noticed one person, and said: "Ziyi, can you come with me to Xuzhou?
You are so brave and a powerful general in the world, why don't you contribute to the imperial court?"
Hearing this, Liu Bei also looked at Taishi Ci.
When Taishi Ci came to Pingyuan to ask for help with Kong Rong's letter, he knew that Taishi Ci was not under Kong Rong's command.
He could also notice the previous battle outside the city.
Although Taishi Ci was inferior to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in terms of military force, as Kong Rong said, he was also a fierce general in the world.
It would be a good thing if he could recruit his subordinates.
"Thank you Master Kong for the invitation."
Tai Shici stood up and bowed his hands in thanks.
Then he changed his voice and said, "I came to help at the order of my mother.
Now the difficulties in Beihai have been resolved.
Guan Hai died in the battle, and the banditry around Beihai has been eliminated.
No more worries.
But someone has invited me before, and I have agreed.
When I come back this time, I am going to take my mother with me, so I can only say goodbye here and see you later."
There was a look of sincerity on his face.
He was not lying.
He had indeed promised someone else.
He came back this time just to pick up his mother and help her.
This was because Kong Rong had been in Beihai for many years and was very popular with the people.
It's just for the sake of his mother who always takes care of him.
Kong Rong was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Since everyone has his own ambitions, it is not convenient for me to force Ziyi to stay."
Although he felt a little pity in his heart, given his character, he couldn't do anything excessive.
The invitation to Taishi Ci was just because of Taishi Ci's bravery.
He just wanted to stay in Beihai safely, and he just wanted to recommend him.
Tai Shici, but once someone has made a decision, it is no longer his responsibility.
Liu Bei on the other hand also felt a little pity in his heart, and he also took back his original intention to recruit.
After all, if a general like Taishi Ci promised others, he could not make him regret it with just a few words.
Immediately, the matter was never discussed again.
The banquet is over.
Kong Rong gave Taishi Ci some gold and silver treasures.
Taishi Ci refused to accept it, so he left Beihai City with one man and one horse and headed for Donglai.
Kong Rong also asked Mi Zhu to report back to Xuzhou first, and then arranged Beihai affairs, ordered his troops and horses, and set off for Xuzhou.
Liu Bei also led his troops to leave and rushed to Youzhou to see Gongsun Zan to discuss borrowing troops.
After that, he rushed directly to Xuzhou to join Kong Rong and rescue Xuzhou.
Everyone is busy.
For a time, the soldiers and horses set off and headed towards Xuzhou, which also attracted the attention of other princes.
After all, they all knew the resentment between Xuzhou and Cao Cao.
It was the revenge of killing his father.
Even if it was not Tao Qian who instigated it, Zhang Kai could still He is under Tao Qian's command.
In addition, the current situation in Chang'an is unclear, and Cao Cao has many good generals, so they don't take any action and just sit back and watch what happens in Xuzhou.
But now that they see someone entering Xuzhou and lying in the muddy water at this time, they are also more concerned.
After all, everyone likes watching theaters.

It has nothing to do with them anyway.
The more chaotic it is, the better.
However, in addition to the army that they were concerned about entering Xuzhou, there was a troop of more than a hundred people who also entered Xuzhou.
However, because of the small number and no banner, it did not attract any attention.
This army of more than a hundred people entered Xuzhou silently and continued to advance
