"I understand, you should go back first."
Liu Bei dismissed the soldiers who came to deliver the news with a cold expression.
"Come here, call Mr.
Jian Yong and Sun Qian over."
At this time, Liu Bei had countless questions in his mind.
After interacting with Tao Qian for a few days, Liu Bei also recognized Tao Qian's character clearly.
Although he was kind and respectful on the surface, he He is also full of ambitions.
Nowadays, news is flying all over the city, and Tao Qian has sent people to deliver the news that he wants to give Xuzhou to him.
Although Liu Bei has some thoughts about Xuzhou, Tao Qian's approach makes Liu Bei not sure what to do. is good.
"Lord" Jian Yong and Sun Qian came to Liu Bei's hall together.
Seeing that Liu Bei looked a little bad, they quickly and respectfully saluted Liu Bei.
When Liu Bei saw the two civil servants arriving, his originally indifferent face suddenly showed a gentle smile, and he said to them in a somewhat friendly tone: "Now there are rumors inside and outside Xuzhou that Duke Tao wants to give Xuzhou to me.
Just now, Tao Gong specially sent someone to invite me and said that he would entrust Xuzhou to me.
You two are both wise men.
If you have any ideas, you might as well tell me and let me refer to it. " "My lord, I don't think Tao Gongzu is so kind.
My lord should be more careful."
Jian Yong was wearing a scholar's uniform.
His smiling face immediately became serious, and he said to Liu Bei in a very serious tone.
"Gongyou, what do you think?"
After Jian Yong finished speaking, Liu Bei looked at Sun Qian who was silent and asked in a serious tone.
Sun Qian touched his beard, looked at Liu Bei's eager eyes, and finally replied to Liu Bei: "My lord, you can go to Tao Qian's place, but you still need to bring the two generals Guan and Zhang.
As for Tao Qian's request to Xuzhou, My lord, you should refuse.
After all, the land of Xuzhou is not something that my lord can control now."
"I understand."
Liu Bei's face darkened after hearing the two people's suggestions.
After thinking for a while, he felt that now was not the time to be careless, so he nodded and said to the two civil servants.
Time passed quickly.
In the bedroom of the Zhou Mu Mansion, Tao Qian sat on the bed with a weak expression.
Looking at Liu Bei who walked in from the door, he quickly showed a smile and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, you are finally here."
Here you go, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
"Xuande heard that Tao Gong was unwell and wanted to visit Tao Gong.
Unfortunately, he was afraid of disturbing Tao Gong's rest, so he did not come to visit Tao Gong.
I hope Tao Gong would not blame him."
Liu Bei brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Tao Qian.
Liu Bei's bedroom, seeing Tao Qian sitting on the bed, he immediately saluted Tao Qian with a respectful look on his face.
When the two people behind him, Guan and Zhang, saw this, they also followed Liu Bei and saluted Tao Qian.
"Xuande doesn't have to be like this.
I know who you are.
Now that I'm calling you here, I've entrusted you with a heavy responsibility."
Tao Qian looked at the smile on Liu Bei's face.
He coughed a few times quickly, returned the courtesy to Liu Bei, and then said to Liu Bei in a serious tone.
Liu Bei looked at Tao Qian and became a little wary.
He touched his beard and asked Tao Qian in a kind tone: "What's the matter with Mr.
Tao?
Just tell Xuande.

Xuande is willing to relieve Mr.
Tao's worries."
"Haha Xuande, what do you think of Xuzhou?"
Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei's vigilant look and asked Liu Bei with a smile.
Liu Bei's face darkened when he heard Tao Qian's sudden question.
He thought for a while and said seriously to Tao Qian: "The land of Xuzhou is extremely rich.
The entire Han Dynasty, except Yizhou and Jizhou, is probably Xuzhou."
The richest."
"Xuande is right.
The sea near Xuzhou can produce salt.
You can go north to Hebei by land and go south to Jiangnan along the river.
The geographical location is advantageous.
The people are healthy and prosperous."
Tao Qian felt a little proud after hearing Liu Bei's words.
He nodded, and then said to Liu Bei in a serious tone.
"Mr.
Tao, what you said is true," Liu Bei said casually, looking at Tao Qian talking eloquently.
At this time, Liu Bei was even more confused.
What on earth was Tao Qian going to do?
"If Xuzhou is governed by Xuande, I'm afraid Xuzhou will be even more prosperous."
Just when Liu Bei was feeling a little confused, Tao Qian suddenly looked at Liu Bei and said in a serious tone.
Liu Bei was stunned after hearing Tao Qian's words, and then quickly replied to Tao Qian: "Duke Tao is joking, how can Bei Hede be able to govern Xuzhou?
Mr.
Tao, stop making jokes about Bei."
"Xuande, I am serious.
Xuande is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and his status is more suitable for sitting in the position of Xuzhou Mu than me.
Besides, my body may be taken back by God in a few days.
Now Xuande is kind to me and even more kind to the people of Xuzhou, so he cannot be in the position of Xuzhou pastor."
Tao Qian saw Liu Bei rejecting him directly, with some disbelief in his eyes, and he quickly said to Liu Bei in a sincere tone.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei looked happy after hearing Tao Qian's words, and they immediately wanted to agree to Tao Qian's request on behalf of their lord.
After listening to Tao Qian's words, Liu Bei fell silent, and his heart drove Liu Bei to agree.
Liu Bei finally hesitated and responded directly to Liu Bei in a serious tone: "Compared to Bei, Tao Gong is more important to the people of Xuzhou."
With kindness, Mr.
Tao can hand over Xuzhou to Mr.
Tao Ying, and he is willing to assist Mr.
Tao Ying to protect the people of Xuzhou and make Xuzhou a paradise on earth. " Zhang Fei and Guan Yu on the side listened to Liu Bei's words, and their originally expectant faces suddenly became silent, but they couldn't directly tell Liu Bei to change his mind.
"I'm afraid my son won't be able to defend Xuzhou.
I'll just have to find a job where he can eat.
As for Xuande, it would be great if you could agree to me for the sake of the people of Xuzhou.
Xuande, just agree."
"Yeah."
Tao Qian looked a little unnatural when he saw Liu Bei rejecting him directly, and he quickly spoke seriously to Liu Bei in an amplified tone.
"If Tao Gong says this again, he means he doesn't trust me, Liu Xuande.
I, Liu Xuande, would rather leave Xuzhou.
I will not agree to Tao Gong's request."

Liu Bei knew that he could not agree now.
If he agreed, there would be rumors outside that Liu Bei took advantage of Tao Qian's illness.
By capturing Xuzhou, Liu Bei's own reputation may be ruined.
"In this case, I can't persuade Xuande anymore.
I'm afraid my time is running out.
I have a wish that I haven't fulfilled.
I hope Xuande can fulfill it for me."
Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei and rejected him directly. , his face calmed down, and then he said to Tao Qian in a somewhat excited tone.
"Mr.
Tao, just say it.
Xuande will definitely fulfill Tao Gong's wish."
Liu Bei looked at Tao Qian who was a little emotional, frowned slightly, and then responded to Tao Qian in a calm tone.
"Xuande, I have never done anything untoward in my life.
I have two regrets in my heart.
One is that my eldest son was killed by a boy named Bai, and the other is that Xiaopei in Xuzhou was taken away.
Now I heard that the boy named Bai was the little boy.
Pei's guard , if Xuande can help me attack Xiaopei and kill the boy named Bai, I, Tao Qian, will repay Xuande's kindness in my next life as a cow and horse."
Tao Qian saw Liu Bei nodding in the same way, and immediately turned to Liu Bei with a mournful face. said.
Liu Bei looked at Tao Qian's appearance, and finally sighed helplessly, and replied to Tao Qian: "Don't worry, Mr.
Tao, Xuande is willing to send troops to attack Xiaopei, capture Xiaopei, and avenge Mr.
Ling."
When Tao Qian saw Liu Bei agreeing, his brows relaxed and he said seriously to Liu Bei: "Then I'll trouble Xuande."
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Liu Bei looked at Tao Qian and sighed helplessly, and finally left Tao Qian's bedroom with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"Liu Xuande, you are really unfathomable.
I'm afraid he will become a figure in the future."
Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei's slowly leaving figure.
His originally smiling face immediately became serious, and he murmured to himself in a heavy tone.
On the other side, Liu Bei left Tao Qian's mansion with a serious look on his face, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei with some worry.
"Lord, are we really going to attack Xiaopei?"
Zhang Fei finally couldn't help it and said to Liu Bei.
"Otherwise, I agreed.
I'm afraid the whole city will know the news tomorrow.
This Tao Qian is really an old fox.
I really underestimated him.
Let's go."
Liu Bei looked a little bad and said to Zhang Fei helplessly
