Tao Qian's background was not good.
His ancestral home was in Danyang, and he was born into a family of petty officials.
He became an orphan when he was a child.
Because he had no one to control him, he was famous in the county for his wandering.
He is somewhat similar to Gongsun Zan.
They were both praised for being filial and honest because of their handsome appearance.
What is going on?
It turns out that Gan Gong, the governor of Cangwu who was also born in Danyang County, accidentally met Tao Qian when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives.
He saw that he was handsome and thought that he would be promising in the future, so he married his daughter to him.
Tao Qian had an old father-in-law who was a prefect as his backer, and he was quickly able to become an official.
Otherwise, as an orphan, wandering around all day, let alone becoming an official, it would be strange for someone to marry his daughter to him.
Tao Qian's ability to achieve the official position of Xuzhou Mu is not only due to the support of his father-in-law in the early stage, but it is also inseparable from his own hard work.
After so many years of hard work, Tao Qian has long seen through the power of the wealthy families.
They have a bad face, so they hate them.
After some hard work, he finally satisfied Xu Rong's request.
Xu Rong was still a trustworthy person.
After getting the property and materials he wanted, he quickly broke camp and returned to Qingzhou.
Everyone in Xuzhou was relieved.
One breath.
Perhaps after he relaxed, his body's resistance dropped, and he was invaded by evil spirits.
Tao Qian soon fell ill.
This time, the illness was so severe that many famous doctors could not cure him.
Tao Qian knew that his time had come and he began to think about his posthumous affairs.
Both of his sons were mediocre people.
Being a rich man was enough.
It was impossible to make a few splashes in this turbulent and troubled world, but he was worried.
After his death, someone was harmful to his two sons.
Tao Qian had been considering who would succeed Xuzhou Mu while he was ill, and finally decided to let Liu Bei be the Xuzhou Mu and entrust him with his posthumous affairs.
Tao Qian knew that Liu Bei was a man of great dignity and always wanted to maintain his reputation of benevolence and righteousness in front of the world.
He asked Liu Bei to be the shepherd of Xuzhou.
Liu Bei would definitely protect his two sons and would not treat them harshly, but if he let others There is no guarantee that he will become the shepherd of Xuzhou, and currently in Xuzhou, only Liu Bei has the ability to maintain the stability of Xuzhou, and no one else can.
Liu Bei finally had a piece of land where he could make his own decisions.
After Tao Qian's death, he officially became the Xuzhou Mu, but he was not easy to be a Xuzhou Mu.
There were powerful enemies outside and powerful families inside who refused to show their face and officials did not cooperate.
The political affairs in the state were always in a state of semi-paralysis.
Zhang Fei was so angry that he led his troops to rush to the homes of some officials and forcibly took them to the government offices for duty.
These officials were not intimidated when it came to handling government affairs.
Although they arrived at the government office, they did nothing.
They drank tea, chatted and slapped themselves all day long.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others had no choice.
Liu Bei had better make a ruthless move.
He sent people to the Mi family's house with generous gifts to propose marriage, hoping to marry the lady of the Mi family and win the support of the aristocratic families through marriage.
The Mi family is originally a merchant family and has not been an official for a long time.
It has always been at the bottom of the Xuzhou family.
In order to obtain a higher status, the Mi family also hopes to cling to powerful figures.

Liu Bei sent someone to propose marriage, and the head of the Mi family, Mi Zhu, was chosen.
The two hit it off immediately.
With the financial, human and material support of the Mi family, Liu Bei suddenly came to life.
He also had food and grass for his soldiers and horses.
The government also had money to pay salaries to the officials, and some stewards were transferred from the Mi family to serve in the government.
Seeing that the situation was not good, other aristocratic families feared that their positions would be taken over by others if they did not go on duty at the government, so they all returned to the Yamen to handle official duties.
After this marriage, the Liu Bei brothers finally gained a foothold in Xuzhou, but it was not easy to take full control of the situation.
There were still too few people under their command, so they sent people to post recruitment notices outside the government offices.
But no one came, so it could only develop slowly.
Chang'an.
Only two days after Liu Chengcai returned to Chang'an from Zhongmu, Guo Jia came to report: "My lord, General Zang Ba has led his troops to control the entire territory of Yingchuan.
Xun Gongda has entered Yingchuan to take over the government affairs.
Lu Bu's side is still temporarily There was no response.
Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for Cao Cao to reconcile with Lu Bu.
Lu Bu occupied his territory, which he hated more than Tao Qian for killing his father.
Now Lu Bu has been captured by our army and has lost Yingchuan.
To retreat, we can only stay in Yanzhou.
There must be several fierce battles to be fought between Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Zhang Miao.
His subordinates concluded that the war between them will definitely not be fruitful in a short time.
In addition, a message came from Jingzhou.
The bad news is that Liu Biao had a bad start.
His 20,000-strong naval force was ambushed by Sun Ce's army near Chaisang, and most of his troops and ships were lost.
Liu Biao was heartbroken and has now retreated."
Liu Cheng felt a headache and said: "This Liu Jingsheng has political means, otherwise he would not be able to go to Jingzhou alone to recruit a group of people and secure his position, but his ability to fight and use generals is almost zero.
Do you think this matter is serious?"
How to dispose of it?
Guo Jia thought for a while and then said: "My lord, my subordinates suggest that the imperial court canonize Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, as General Annan, and order him to send troops to attack Sun Ce.
Then write a letter to Zhu Dan, asking him to urge Liu Biao to continue the march.
Zhang Xian has always been at odds with Liu Biao.
And, Liu Biao listens When Zhang Xian becomes General Annan, he must have a sense of urgency in his heart and will not withdraw his troops.
In addition, Yangzhou should take action.
Sun Ce cannot be allowed to run wild in Jiangdong.
Liu Yao must send troops to stop Sun Ce from being unstoppable."
Liu Cheng thought for a while and said: "Okay, just follow Feng Xiao's instructions.
At the same time, he will give Liu Yao a policy letter, ordering him to be the governor of Yangzhou and the governor of Yangzhou's military forces.
He will send troops to meet Sun Ce.
The policy letter sent to Liu Yao will be kept for a few days. , I have other arrangements.”
Guo Jia promised: "Follow your orders" After Guo Jia left, Liu Cheng stood up.
Sun Ce's reputation as the Little Overlord was not in vain.
This man was brave and brave.
Coupled with Zhou Yu, who was proficient in military tactics and formations, and was assisted by a top-notch strategist, ordinary people really couldn't deal with him.
"Comer" A clerk outside the door came in and cupped his hands and said, "What are your orders, my lord?"
"Go and tell Taishi Ci to come see me."
"promise" On this day, Taishi Ci, who was in the military camp, received the order and immediately flew to the Grand Sima Mansion in Chang'an to meet with Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng saw him at the martial arts training ground, and the two even exchanged several rounds.

After the fight, Liu Cheng threw Taishi Ci a towel to wipe his sweat and said: "Ziyi, the situation in Yangzhou is a bit turbulent.
Sun Ce of Lujiang recently launched an army to attack Jiangdong with the assistance of his military advisor Zhou Yu, and the governor Liu Yao has no men available.
General, I plan to send you to serve as the captain of Yangzhou and the general of Ping Ke.
You will be under the control of Liu Yao in name, but in fact you will only be subordinate to me.
I have ordered you to go there because I want you to command the troops.
Liu Yao has the ability to govern the local area, but he can't fight, and he is also a grinding man.
He has no determination and courage.
After you go there, you must consolidate Yangzhou's troops and contain them as soon as possible.
Following Sun Ce's offensive, Sun Ce's martial prowess should be on par with yours.
This person is not scary.
The Zhou Yu next to him is the one you need to deal with carefully."
Taishi Ci clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I will definitely live up to the Lord's trust."
"Okay, when you go to Yangzhou, you are allowed to choose fifty soldiers from the army to accompany you as bodyguards.
If I have any orders, I will send someone to contact you.
This is the method of contact.
You must remember it and burn it after you remember it."
After that, he took out a note and handed it to Tai Shici.
Taishi Ci took the note, read it, put it under an oil lamp and burned it.
Only two days later, Taishi Ci led fifty cavalry out of Chang'an, walked to Nanyang, and went down the river to Danyang, the seat of the Yangzhou governor.
More than twenty days later, Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha, received the imperial policy and was appointed as General Annan.
He worked hard to raise food and military supplies, and sent his son Zhang Ze to lead eight thousand troops to attack Yuzhang.
Liu Biao couldn't sit still after learning that the imperial court had conferred Zhang Xian as General Annan.
Although General Zhennan was more senior than General Annan, he had no jurisdiction.
If Zhang Xian defeated Sun Ce first this time, how could he be called Liu Miao Miao?
Under the advice of his subordinates and the supervision of Zhu Dan, Liu Biao had no choice but to lead his army to attack Sun Ce again.
The resistance from the officials in the counties and counties in Jiangdong was fierce.
Sun Ce was attacked simultaneously by Liu Biao and Zhang Xian.
Sun Ce, who had insufficient troops, was already stretched thin and overwhelmed.
People of insight have now finally seen the power of coercing the emperor to order the princes.
It is not that the princes do not understand the intention of the court, but they understand that what can happen if you disobey the court's order and attack other princes, the court will order other princes Rather than being beaten by others, it is better to take the initiative to beat others.
There is always an advantage in taking the lead.
Sun Ce's situation was very critical, but it was impossible for him to give in and surrender.
He fired his bow without turning back.
Zhou Yu was indeed talented.
He commanded the army to temporarily withstand attacks from three directions by himself.
Nanchang, Governor's Mansion.
Sun Ce frowned.
Now the three armies of Liu Biao, Zhang Xian, and Liu Yao were coming from three directions.
The counties he had just captured were taken back.
Fortunately, Han Dang and Huang Gai were in front.
He, Sun Ben and others temporarily blocked the three armies.
Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, how to resolve the crisis at hand?
Han Dang, Huang Gai and Sun Ben cannot stop them for too long.
Even if we can completely withstand one of them, or even repel one of them, we will not be killed by the other two armies."
All we can do is run away in panic.”

Zhou Yu's face was calm.
He knew that it was useless to be anxious.
He stood up and said: "In the overall situation, I still lack something.
I didn't expect that this dispatch of troops would cause such a strong reaction from the court.
Liu Biao was not a worry at first.
Zhang Xian It is not a cause for concern, let alone Liu Yao, but the court They forcefully mobilized all three of them to deal with us at the same time.
Now we are being attacked by three parties.
Strategically, our army has fallen behind.
If we want to get rid of the current unfavorable situation, the only way is to seek reinforcements from the outside.
In this regard, we I think Zhang Zhao’s thoughts should be consulted”:
