Liu Yu looked at the information that Cao Cao was killing towards Xuzhou and laughed.

Although Tao Qian wiped out all the evidence of the crime, most people could hardly find it. But Liu Yu was different. He installed many spies from the "Ancient Ministry" in Xuzhou. In order to cause trouble for Cao Cao and Tao Qian, Liu Yu ordered the "Ancient Ministry" to expose the matter and let the two of them start fighting each other.

Liu Yu has taken over the "Ancient Ministry" recently, and the leader Li Gui is now taking care of his father. Li Gui told Butler Li frankly that Li Fu died at his hands and revealed the truth about the past and back. Butler Li gave the black hair to the man, and his eldest son betrayed Liu Yu, and his brothers were ill after each other.

Liu Yu visited Butler Li in person, but Butler Li just kept crying. Liu Yu knew that Butler Li would not recover for a while, so he specially gave Li Gui a long vacation to take good care of him.

After Liu Yu personally accepted the "Secret Ministry", he realized how much work Li Gui's usual workload was. There were thousands of information collected from Liu Yu every day. Fortunately, the "Secret Ministry" had formed a work system, and there were dedicated people to take charge of each work, so Liu Yu only had the right to make decisions.

Liu Yu instructed the "Ancient Army" to pay attention to the war situation in Xuzhou and the news about Yuan Shu recently.

Liu Yu cannot guarantee what the ending between Cao Cao and Tao Qian is. In history, due to Lu Bu's raid, Cao Cao hurriedly withdrew his troops. Now Lu Bu is staying here with Liu Yu. No one will stab Cao Cao, so the situation is not known.

Yuan Shu has been building huge buildings recently and building huge palaces. Liu Yu feels that this guy should be almost going to be emperor. The situation is very chaotic at that time, and Liu Yu can come out to pick peaches.

Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, was panicked now. He didn't know that he had exposed the fact that he killed Cao Song. Now he had no time to investigate who it was. Cao Cao's army had entered Xuzhou, and many cities had been captured. In order to avoid the war, the people fled their homes. Some hid in the deep mountains and forests, some fled to the cities in the rear, and some fled directly to other prefectures and counties. Xuzhou's population was seriously lost.

The soldiers and horses under Tao Qian were very strong, among which the Danyang soldiers were the most powerful combat power under Tao Qian's command. However, no matter how strong the soldiers were, no qualified commander could not exert the combat power of the troops. Tao Qian himself had the ability to command, but unfortunately he was too old to continue to lead the troops. Tao Qian's subordinates were almost all idiots who were just talking nonsense and fearing death. Faced with the aggressive Cao army, they all acted as turtles. They were a bit bloody, but because of their lack of ability and unequal strength, they were quickly defeated by Cao Cao. This led to the situation in Xuzhou becoming more and more unfavorable to Tao Qian.

Tao Qian really wanted to give himself a big mouth. Why are you so angry when you are so old? Now that you can kill Cao Song, it's great to kill him, but now Cao Cao has come to kill him, and the wastes under his command cannot block Cao Cao's attack, which makes Tao Qian very angry.

It’s useless to get angry. Cao Cao came to fight unstoppably, and he couldn’t help but ask for foreign aid.

However, Tao Qian had had friction with the surrounding princes before. Yuan Shu of Shouchun was planning to find an opportunity to come to Xuzhou to get a share. Tao Qian knew what Yuan Shu was doing, and asking Yuan Shu to help was equivalent to attracting a wolf into the house, so Yuan Shu couldn't count on him, and Tao Qian didn't dare to do so.

The other princes couldn't count on him. Yuan Shao had a good relationship with Cao Cao, and his friendship with Yuan Shao was not deep enough to let Yuan Shao send troops. Even if Yuan Shao wanted to help Tao Qian, he would not have time and troops to help him. Yuan Shao was now preparing to take advantage of Liu Yu's retreating defense line and kill Gongsun Zan.

As for Liu Yu, Tao Qian dared not think about it even more. He had followed the crowd and submitted a letter to the emperor to condemn Liu Yu.

In desperation, Tao Qian had to ask Kong Rong in Beihai for help.

After receiving Tao Qian's letter of help, Kong Rong scolded Tao Qian for being shameless. When he was in trouble before, he begged Tao Qian to come for help, but Tao Qian did not come and watched him be destroyed. Fortunately, the blessing of Saint Kong Saint Kong was that Kong Rong was spared from the destruction. Now that Tao Qian was in trouble, he still caused trouble himself. Of course, Kong Rong would not send troops.

However, Kong Rong's subordinates stopped Kong Rong who was about to refuse and vaguely stated that Kong Rong could let the person who was leaning in the North Sea not leave.

That's right, this person is Liu Bei.

Since Liu Bei helped Kong Rong escape from danger last time, he has been staying in Beihai and has not left. Liu Bei has great kindness to Kong Rong, so Kong Rong has been unable to speak up and let Liu Bei leave. Liu Bei also regards Beihai as his own family, eating what he should eat and playing what he should play. He even keeps communicating with Kong Rong's subordinates, frequently entering and leaving the wealthy families of various aristocratic families in Beihai, constantly digging holes and Rong's corners. Kong Rong was very angry, but due to Liu Bei's kindness, he dare not say it directly.

Now Tao Qian is here to ask for help. After his subordinates mentioned it, Kong Rong remembered Liu Bei, who had made him depressed recently. Isn’t this the best time to send this plague god away?

Kong Rong ran to Liu Bei's residence impatiently and communicated with him.

Kong Rong kept praising Tao Qian's situation in a very dangerous situation and said that once Liu Bei came out, Tao Qian's danger could be solved in an instant.

Liu Bei pondered for a long time, but he was not fooled by Kong Rong. Liu Bei stayed in Beihai and wanted to develop his strength in Beihai, but Kong Rong had already begun to restrict Liu Bei, making Liu Bei's wishful thinking unable to continue. Liu Bei also wanted to leave Beihai, but there was no place to go, so he could only stay here for the time being. Now Xuzhou is in danger and needs help from others, so it is Liu Bei's best place to go. Moreover, Xuzhou is very rich, and if he has the opportunity to get this place, it can be comparable to more than a dozen Beihai.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Bei said righteously: "Bi is the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of Han, the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, and a relative of the Han Dynasty. How could he see the governor of Xuzhou being murdered? Lord Kong rest assured that Bei will go to Xuzhou now."

Liu Bei's words made Kong Rong feel excited, and the plague god finally agreed.

However, Liu Bei was not without conditions. He hoped that Kong Rong could lend him some soldiers and horses, not much, only ten thousand soldiers and horses.

Kong Rong was furious when he saw Liu Bei's lion speak, but in order to send the plague god away, Kong Rong endured it. After bargaining, Liu Bei got 8,000 troops and a month of food and grass from Kong Rong. Kong Rong's flesh hurt a lot.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, three of them, marched towards Xuzhou majesticly with eight thousand soldiers.
