Chapter 572

Compared to the old Tao Qian who had no ambition, he was even more afraid of Lu Bu, who was almost invincible in the world.

He didn't want to be neighbors with someone like Lu Bu.

Therefore, from his perspective, Lu Bu must not be allowed to occupy Xuzhou.

In addition, the Yellow Turban rebels in Beihai and nearby had already been defeated by Liu Bei and the others, and there would be no danger in the short term.

But how to deal with Liu Bei became a problem.

Kong Rong is not a fool. How could he not see that Liu Bei is a person with great ambition? A person with great ability?

If it weren't for Liu Bei wearing a coat of benevolence and righteousness, and he really needed help before, he would never have accepted Liu Bei's help.

Now, the favor has been returned, and Beihai and even Qingzhou naturally do not need Liu Bei anymore. He is afraid that Liu Bei will linger here and not leave.

By then, with Liu Bei's strength, he might occupy the magpie's nest and swallow his Beihai and even Qingzhou.

This is definitely not what Tao Qian wants to see.

Therefore, sending Liu Bei to Xuzhou is the best choice.

Achieving multiple goals at once.

Not only getting rid of a trouble and ensuring that Qingzhou will not be occupied, but also ensuring that Xuzhou will not be taken by Lu Bu.

"Oh?"

Liu Bei heard this, first finished reading the letter in his hand, then pondered for a while, bowed and said: "Since Mr. Wenju has spoken! And Xuzhou indeed has a need, I naturally cannot shirk my duty;"

"Lu Bu killed his lord twice and is inseparable from the death of the Son of Heaven. Such a treacherous villain, no matter what, cannot be allowed to seize Xuzhou!"

"No time like the present, I will set off now!"

"However, in terms of food, grain, and military equipment, I still need Mr. Wenju to support me a little!"

Liu Bei is not really a fool. How could he not see Kong Rong's other meaning?

But compared to the prosperous Xuzhou, the barren and chaotic Qingzhou is indeed not a good place. He naturally prefers to choose Xuzhou.

As for how to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou later?

He believes that as long as there is the threat of Lu Bu, Tao Qian cannot do without him.

Give him time, he believes he can win over a group of people in Xuzhou, gain a firm foothold, and eventually occupy Xuzhou.
