Liu Bei felt that at this time, his domineering spirit was spreading everywhere, and Kong Rong should bow to him.

How do you feel that Kong Rong now wants to leave by himself?

No, no!

Liu Bei felt that he could not leave. Once he left, he would have no choice but to return to the small county town of Pingyuan!

After seeing the prosperity of Beihai Kingdom, Liu Bei didn't want to go back at all.

Look at how nice Beihai is. The city is filled with flowers and crowds of people, all of which are money!

With money and food, he has endless sources of soldiers. At this time, Liu Bei felt that as long as he could take over Beihai, he would be sure to swallow up the entire Qingzhou.

By then, with Qingzhou in hand, Liu Bei felt that he could make great plans. Whether it was attacking Yuan Shao to the north, attacking Cao Cao to the west, or going south to capture Xuzhou, he could do it.

Therefore, in the following days, no matter how Kong Rong hinted to Liu Bei, hoping that he would leave, Liu Bei pretended not to see it.

Kong Rong had nothing to do about this. After all, he really couldn't defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei.

Fortunately, at this time, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, which made Xuzhou governor Tao Qian feel the crisis and asked Kong Rong for help.

After Kong Rong learned the news, he was very happy because he knew that he now had a way to make Liu Bei leave.

Sure enough, as Kong Rong expected, when he told Liu Bei that the Xuzhou governor came to him for help, but he still needed to guard against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and hoped that Liu Bei could lead troops to Xuzhou for rescue, Liu Bei agreed without even thinking about it.

However, Liu Bei still asked Kong Rong to borrow troops, but in order to allow Liu Bei to leave Beihai as soon as possible, Kong Rong did not argue with Liu Bei and gave him thousands of elite soldiers, along with a batch of grain and grass. This was considered a gift to Liu Bei.

Gone.

After Liu Bei left Beihai, he marched quickly and finally arrived at Xiapi before Cao Cao besieged the city.

After meeting Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, Liu Bei thought that he and Cao Cao were old friends. The two had participated in the battle against Dong together before, so Liu Bei wanted to write a letter to Cao Cao.

I want to be able to dissuade Cao Cao from attacking Xiapi.

At that time, how could Cao Cao, who was already blinded by hatred, let Xuzhou go just because of Liu Bei?

Therefore, Cao Cao didn't even think about it and wanted to refuse directly. As a result, just as Boss Cao's reply was written, news came that Lu Bu had captured most of Yanzhou.

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately panicked. Of course he knew what kind of person Lu Bu was. If Lu Bu was allowed to gain a firm foothold in Yanzhou and he wanted to drive Lu Bu out again, it would be extremely difficult.

After weighing the pros and cons, Cao Cao decided to go back to save Yanzhou first. After all, Xuzhou was here. As long as he could defeat Lu Bu quickly, he could come back and attack Xuzhou at any time.

Therefore, Cao Cao felt that it was better to betray Liu Bei to save face. He burned the silk letter he had just written and wrote another silk letter to Liu Bei expressing his willingness to withdraw his troops.

Afterwards, Cao Cao took his army and left Xuzhou. What happened next was naturally as rumored. Tao Qian felt that he was seriously ill and wanted to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei, on the other hand, pushed and gave way three times, and finally reluctantly agreed to Tao Qian's appointment as the governor of Xuzhou.

The rumors outside ended here, but the scenes in the sky continued.

After Liu Bei became the governor of Xuzhou, he felt that Tao Qian's two sons were also a big threat to him. After all, Tao Qian had been in Xuzhou for many years, so he would naturally have a large number of diehard loyalists.

Although Xuzhou was given up by Tao Qian on his own initiative, Tao Qian's giving up was not good news for those powerful families who relied on Tao Qian to make their fortunes.

Therefore, there are still many people in Xuzhou who are dissatisfied with Liu Bei and want to support Tao Qian's two young masters to come to power. In this case, they can still continue to develop in Xuzhou under the protection of the Tao family.

Liu Bei has always been very decisive in dealing with such unstable factors, so he asked his cronies to create golden remnants in the middle of the night, rush into the Tao family, and slaughter everyone in the Tao family.

At this time, everyone looked at the scene in the sky, and some looked at Liu Bei present, and they all looked like they couldn't believe it.

Before, Tao Qian's family was killed. Many people really thought it was the Yellow Turban Army, so after some investigation, they left it alone. But no one thought that Liu Bei would send people to kill the Tao family.

.

At this time, Liu Bei felt that large beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. He felt that everyone around him was looking at him with a very disgusted expression.

This is normal. Tao Qian gave up the throne to Liu Bei. From this point of view, Tao Qian should be Liu Bei's benefactor. However, Liu Bei did not want to repay the favor, but sent people to kill Tao Qian's two sons.

To put it bluntly, this is ungrateful, and to put it more seriously, you are worse than a pig or a dog.

Liu Bei knew that if he didn't defend himself at this time, he would really have no chance.

"Your Majesty! I am dissatisfied! Your Majesty used such evil methods to slander me, and I am dissatisfied!"

"Everyone knows that I, Liu Bei, am a clan member of the Han Dynasty. How could I arrange this identity myself? Moreover, Your Majesty said that I sent people to kill Governor Tao Qian and his family, which is even more unfounded."

"Everyone knows that Governor Tao is my benefactor, but I, Liu Bei, am actually a ungrateful person. For the sake of being a mere governor, I abandon my benevolence, righteousness, integrity and shame and kill Governor Tao's family?"

"If His Majesty intends to remove Bei from his official position, he can say so directly. Why bother to find such an excuse? To slander Bei's innocence out of thin air?"

"Or is Your Majesty being deceived by villains? If so, then sooner or later this big man's world will be defeated by Your Majesty! Then for the sake of the ancestral foundation, Bei has to raise an army, Qingjun will side with you!"

Liu Bei knew that at this time, just saying that he was not guilty would not change the attitude of the people in the world towards him. He could only pull down other princes and tell them.

Now we are grasshoppers on a rope. We can only find excuses as soon as possible to pull down Liu Xie. Otherwise, if we are taken down by Liu Xie, you princes will not feel good either.

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Yuan Shao, Cai Mao and others reacted.

At this time, they no longer care whether Liu Bei is a real villain or a fake. They know that if Liu Xie is allowed to use this excuse to take down Liu Bei at this time, their position will be embarrassing.

Will they continue to rebel without hesitation, or will they just stop?

If Liu Bei continues to rebel, it is unclear how many people in the world are willing to support his side.

If it stops here, wouldn't that mean asking Liu Xie to look at their heads one by one?

You know, they can be said to have openly rebelled now. If they back down at this time, will Liu Xie still keep them?
