While lamenting that Liu Xie was a scourge, Ma Chao also felt a trace of jealousy in his heart.
He was jealous of none other than Liu Bei, who had led Xuzhou Mu.
Moreover, what makes Ma Chao want to slap himself is that he, Ma Chao, must bear at least half of the responsibility for this situation.
In the eyes of all outsiders in the Han Dynasty, whether Lu Bu did it for others or for himself, intentionally or unintentionally, in the affairs of Yan and Xuzhou, in short, he did a great favor to Tao Qian and saved the people of Xuzhou whose lives were hanging by a thread.
Cao Cao, who came to Xuzhou to kill people, went back to fight with Lu Bu.
Kong Rong and Tian Kai, who came to help, also went back and forth from where they were.
But then, everyone knew that at this time, Liu Bei not only did not leave, but completely left his original boss, senior brother Gongsun Zan, and began to work for the new boss, Tao Qian.
Moreover, with Liu Bei's superb acting skills, everyone also believed that Tao Qian, a veteran cadre who was over 60 years old, admired Liu Bei, a young man who was brave enough to do justice.
In addition to Liu Bei's status, Tao Qian respected him very much and extended his love to him several times.
He offered an olive branch and wanted to give up the entire Xuzhou to Liu Bei.
Think about it, in such a dark and troubled world, just because Cao Cao went back today doesn't mean he won't come tomorrow, and if Cao Cao doesn't come, it doesn't mean others won't come.
Old comrades like Tao Qian really can't do anything anymore.
Therefore, for the first time, Xuzhou and Comrade Tao Qian were placed in a very disadvantageous position.
Later, Liu Bei stationed himself in Xiaopei and did a very impressive job.
Tao Qian also gave Liu Bei four thousand Danyang elite soldiers as a gift, which made Liu Bei's strength increase by leaps and bounds, reaching a total of fifteen thousand infantry and cavalry.
Judging from this superficial situation, the relationship between Tao Qian and Liu Bei is really like a honeymoon couple, which is enviable.
But this kind of childish trick made Ma Chao see through it at a glance.
The two fake couples were talking about words and talking about swords.
From a quick glance at the sand table simulation map, you can see that Xiaopei, who belongs to Yuzhou, is like an iron arm blocking Yanzhou and Yanzhou.
Between Xuzhou.
It can be seen that Tao Qian gave Liu Bei 4,000 Danyang elite soldiers who were directly related to Liu Bei, mainly to let Liu Bei help him resist Cao Cao in Yanzhou.
Of course, since they are direct soldiers, they naturally also have the role of monitoring and restraining Liu Bei.
Then, Tao Qian tried to cover up his failure by submitting a letter to the court.
Liu Bei came with his own team when he changed jobs.
As the new boss, Tao Qian needed to give him a suitable position.
According to the practice of poaching talents, Liu Bei can only be given a higher position and better treatment.
Since Liu Bei was already a senior cadre at the county magistrate level before changing his job, Boss Tao recommended Liu Bei to the central government in Xuchang as the prefect of Xiaopei County.
In Tao Qian's view, this recommendation is just a formality as before, and there is no reason why the central government should not approve it.
What's more, at this time, it is commonplace for local powerful figures to appoint cadres at will.
Saying hello is to give you Liu Xie face.
But Tao Qian never expected that the reputation of Liu Bei and Liu Huangshu would actually reach the ears of Liu Xie in Xuchang.
What was even more unexpected was that Liu Xie would make an exception and promote Liu Bei to Yuzhou Shepherd.
You know, with Liu Bei's job change, he was promoted from Pingyuan Xiang under Gongsun Zan to Yuzhou Mu, which spanned five levels.
Although official positions in the late Han Dynasty have been fully filled, it is still incredible that this matter fell on Liu Bei.
As for whether Tao Qian later thought of Liu Xie's intentions like Ma Chao did.
Ma Chao didn't care, because in Ma Chao's view, Tao Qian had already made one mistake after another.
In this way, Liu Bei successfully changed jobs and became the shepherd of Yuzhou, entering the ranks of feudal officials.
However, what is funny is that at this time, he was not the only Yuzhou Mu in the world.
In Anfeng County, Yuzhou, there was also Guo Gong, the Yuzhou Mu appointed by Yuan Shu.
Of course, compared with Liu Bei, the gold content of Guo Gong's Yuzhou animal husbandry is somewhat lacking.
Products that have not been officially authorized by the central government are counterfeit and shoddy products.
But he also has an advantage over Liu Bei, that is, he has the wealthy Yuan Shu to back him up.
This real ingredient is something that all Liu Bei's mirror images can't compare with.
Liu Bei was thirty-four years old this year and had been working hard in troubled times for ten years.
Tao Qian was sixty-three years old this year, and it had been six years since he came to Xuzhou to take office.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, living sixty-three years old was considered enough.
Finally, old comrade Tao Qian became critically ill and could no longer hold on, so he needed to appoint a successor as soon as possible.
In view of the fact that his two sons, Tao Shang and Tao Ying, were both incompetent and had not yet entered official service at their old age, Tao Qian finally made a will.
"It's really Liu Bei."
After hearing this, Ma Chao couldn't calm down.
Because according to his conspiracy theory, he really couldn't figure out why Tao Qian made such a strange will in the end.
"It should be true."
He replied with certainty.
Seeing Ma Chao still looking unbelievable, he couldn't help but bring out the evidence and said: "Although Shadow's strength in Xuzhou is not great, such an important event as Tao Qian's will is still It can be found out.
According to information, Tao Qian's two sons and a group of civil and military officials were also present when Tao Qian was critically ill, and Tao Qian held Bijia Mi Zhu's hand and said something. " "Without Liu Bei, Xuzhou cannot be settled."
Ma Chao read this sentence silently: This sentence is clearly recorded in the history books, and it is impossible for Ma Chao not to know it.
And then I thought about it, Tao Qian’s will could not have been caused by any conspiracy: if Liu Bei’s appointment as Xuzhou Mu was a double act to win over his future uncle Mi Zhu, the so-called Tao Qian’s will was purely It is a fraud, which would overestimate Mi Zhu's ability.
Under the circumstances at that time, it would be difficult for a political secretary-general to convince the public without Tao Qian's will; Moreover, if Mi Zhu's words were just one-sided, they would be easily exposed.
In addition, Liu Bei was far away in Xiaopei, so it was impossible to force the Xuzhou cadres to submit obediently.
What's more, Tao Qian's direct descendant Danyang faction not only has soldiers, but also occupies important positions.
If a quarrel really breaks out, Liu Bei will have to go through a lot of trouble to calm it down.
Of course, Ma Chao believed that Liu Bei's fictitious will had some basis.
According to Ma Chao's life experience in this troubled world, a person can only grab what he wants and fight for it.
No one is willing to give away his own things to others.
But when it comes to Liu Bei, this basis becomes a special situation.
But the facts are the facts and cannot be disputed.
Perhaps, the only possible explanation is that Ma Chao thought that Tao Qian was good at his words even when he was about to die, and he really let go for the sake of the people of Xuzhou.
Or perhaps, there is another possibility, that is, Tao Qian, an old gangster for political speculation, told the truth at the moment of his death, and smiled and closed his eyes: I have been a gangster all my life, and finally I did this again, History still has to think that I was a good man.
I have fooled history, who among you is still dissatisfied?
Thinking about it, Ma Chao didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
In the end, I can only lament that the world is so chaotic.
In addition to entangled interests and constant conflicts, another important reason is that people are very different, and everyone may not necessarily have the same idea.
However, Ma Chao is not a selfless person after all, or it can be said that as an outstanding prince, he is not selfless enough to watch Liu Bei catching a piece of Xuzhou Mu's pie falling from the world without being indifferent and even handing over his hand to congratulate him. of.
Especially among this, there is also the factor that he acted as a promoter to promote the reputation of Liu Bei and Liu Huangshu.
Therefore, it is said that God’s evil deeds can still be forgiven.
If you do something wrong, you won't be able to live.
"Then everything is like this, Liu Bei will naturally become the Xuzhou Shepherd."
Unable to explain the complex expressions of regret, pity, and helplessness on his face, Ma Chao asked Duanmu Ruoyu again in an extremely depressed tone.
But to Ma Chao's surprise, Duanmu Ruoyu took a look at the above information and then replied with a strange tone: "Liu Bei did not take office.
Instead, he happily said two words to those Xuzhou civil and military officials: quit. " "Oh!"
Ma Chaozhen couldn't help blurting out these two extremely emotional words: Liu Bei's head was really kicked by a donkey. s: Thank you to my new friend Zlan for the tip.
