A person with great ability?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it weren't for Liu Bei wearing a cloak of benevolence and righteousness, and he really needed help before, he would never have accepted Liu Bei's help.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now, the favor had been done, and Beihai and even Qingzhou naturally didn't need Liu Bei anymore. He was afraid that Liu Bei would linger here and not leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>By then, with Liu Bei's strength, he might take over the nest and swallow his Beihai and even Qingzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was definitely not what Tao Zou Qian wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, sending Liu Bei to Xuzhou was the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Killing multiple birds with one stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not only did he get rid of a trouble and ensure that Qingzhou would not be occupied by others, but he could also ensure that Xuzhou would not be taken by Lu Bu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Bei heard this, first finished reading the letter in his hand, then pondered for a moment, and bowed: \"Since Lord Lord Wenju has spoken! And Xuzhou indeed has a need, I naturally cannot refuse;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That Lu Bu killed his master twice and is inseparable from the death of the Son of Heaven. Such a treacherous villain, no matter what, cannot be allowed to take Xuzhou!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"There is no time to lose, I will set off now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"However, in terms of food, grain, and military equipment, I still need Lord Lord Wenju to support me a little!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Bei was not really a fool; how could he not see Kong Rong's other meaning?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But compared to the prosperous Xuzhou, the barren and chaotic Qingzhou was indeed not a good place, so he naturally preferred to choose Xuzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for how to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou later?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He believed that as long as there was the threat of Lu Bu, Tao Zou Qian would not be able to do without him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Given time, he believed he could win over a group of people in Xuzhou, gain a firm foothold, and eventually occupy Xuzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kong Rong was overjoyed to see Liu Bei so straightforward, and immediately smiled: \"That's natural! Even if you didn't say it, Liu Xuande, I would send you a batch of food, grain, and military equipment to thank you for your help to me and Beihai during this period!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In addition, I keep my word. The three thousand troops I mentioned before will also be transferred to you later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I hope you can help Tao Zou Qian resolve this great trouble of Lu Bu soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mainly, he was afraid that if he didn't give it, Liu Bei would become dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sending Liu Bei away early was the right path.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then many thanks to Lord Lord Wenju!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Bei was also happy after hearing this and hurriedly bowed to thank him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Being able to get three thousand more troops, even if the troops under Tao Zou Qian's command couldn't be counted as elite, they were still much better than ordinary refugees. Plus, Kong Rong would definitely be embarrassed not to provide full military equipment and weapons, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These troops, in the hands of his second and third brothers, after training for a period of time, their combat effectiveness would go up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he had to rely on himself to recruit, he didn't know how much money and grain it would cost to get these three thousand extra troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Counting the 5,000 troops he currently had, he would have eight thousand troops now.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was already not bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, the 5,000 troops had losses in previous battles, but they had all been replenished through various channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Afterwards, Liu Bei returned to his camp, found Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and said to them: \"Second brother, third brother! Quickly pack up your things, reorganize the troops, we are preparing to go to Xuzhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei was stunned after hearing this: \"Why, Big Brother? Is that old man Kong Rong killing the donkey after the mill, preparing to drive us away?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'll go stab him with 100 transparent holes! This is not how things are done!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Third brother! Don't talk nonsense! Things are not what you think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Bei frowned and scolded after hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His third brother was good at everything, but he just didn't like to listen to people and was impulsive and irritable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sometimes it made him have a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this time, Guan Yu also spoke: \"Third brother, calm down first and listen to what Big Brother has to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei calmed down temporarily, and Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei and asked: \"Big Brother! What is the reason? Why are we suddenly going to Xuzhou again? What happened over there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Bei immediately told Zhang Fei and Guan Yu the whole story in detail, and finally said: \"This is actually a good thing for us! Not only can we get a batch of money and grain, but we can also get troops!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In addition, Qingzhou is chaotic, and the population loss is also very serious, so it is indeed not suitable as our base!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Compared to it, Xuzhou is much more prosperous and wealthy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The key is that it hasn't experienced much war yet. If we can get Xuzhou as a base, the great cause is promising!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, second brother, third brother, didn't you regret not being able to fight Lu Bu last time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now isn't the opportunity here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Fight Lu Bu well, maybe you will really break through to the Heaven-Human Realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If that were really the case, then he would really make it big.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Those were Heaven-Human Divine Generals!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he could have two Heaven-Human Divine Generals, why worry about not achieving the great cause?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How many feudal lords in this world could be his second and third brothers' opponents?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Eh? That's true! This is good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei's eyes lit up: \"Finally there is a chance to fight the thief Lu Bu! I want to see how powerful this Heaven-Human Divine General really is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Indeed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guan Yu also stroked his beard with expectation: \"There is no reason why he, Lu Bu, can break through to the Heaven-Human Realm, but we can't! This is our opportunity! Then let's go to Xuzhou!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"However, Big Brother, how can you ensure that we won't be driven away by Tao Zou Qian again after we go to Xuzhou?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And how can you ensure that we can gain a foothold in Xuzhou, or even occupy Xuzhou?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That Tao Zou Qian shouldn't be simple either, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Things that had already happened once, he didn't want to happen a second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei also reacted and couldn't help but look at his Big Brother: \"Big Brother, how can you guarantee it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hehe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Bei smiled slightly: \"I naturally learned my lesson and have ideas in my heart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"First, Tao Zou Qian is already old, and I heard that he has had many illnesses in recent years, so he may not live for a few more years;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Second, Tao Zou Qian's two sons are both mediocre in ability and cannot hold Xuzhou in a chaotic world;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Third, Xuzhou is not monolithic internally, and we have the opportunity to divide and win people over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Finally, we can raise bandits to respect ourselves, not rush to defeat Lu Bu, and rely on the tug-of-war with Lu Bu to drag it out and stay in Xuzhou for a long time;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I believe that as long as I am given enough time, I will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Of course,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Liu Bei noticed that Guan Yu's expression changed slightly, and his face sank, looking a bit disappointed: \"Brother knows! Doing this is a bit unauthentic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Scheming against people behind their backs is not what a gentleman does!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But Brother has no other way! Watching the Son of Heaven suffer, the Great Han world falling apart, watching the Great Han about to go and never return!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yet Brother has achieved nothing, not even a piece of territory! Every time I think of these, my heart aches like a knife;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Therefore, for the sake of reviving the Great Han, so that the Great Han world will not be completely overturned, even if I become a despicable person, I must turn the tide;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If you, second brother and third brother, cannot understand and accept it, and are unwilling to continue following me, Brother, I can also understand. How about we part ways here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. There was no way, his transformation before and after was too big.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>From full of benevolence and righteousness, suddenly changing to scheming behind people's backs and scheming against other people's foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No matter how you look at it, it's not what a benevolent person would do.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even if he knew that even if he didn't say this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei probably wouldn't leave him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>PS: Seeking first subscriptions, self-subscriptions, and support!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>0 Seeking flowers\u003C\u002Fp>",1610,"2026-06-16T22:49:48.247Z","2026-06-17T08:57:40.402Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b0bda1c0d4744966caf4b8d6a69b24fd68ad297b69418c9a1fb7a09a721545f9","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-366","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-364",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
