Chapter 573
"Haha!"
Kong Rong was overjoyed to see Liu Bei so straightforward, and immediately smiled: "This is natural! Even if you didn't say it, 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!"
"In addition, I keep my word. The three thousand troops I mentioned before will also be transferred to you later!"
"I hope you can help Tao Qian solve the great trouble of Lu Bu as soon as possible."
Mainly, he was afraid that if he didn't give it, Liu Bei would be dissatisfied.
Getting rid of Liu Bei early is the right way.
"Then thank you, Mr. Wenju!"
Liu Bei was also happy when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to thank him.
Being able to have three thousand more troops, even if the troops under Tao Qian are not elite, they are much better than ordinary refugees. Plus, Kong Rong would definitely be embarrassed not to provide military equipment and weapons, right?
These troops, in the hands of his second brother and third brother, after training for a period of time, their combat effectiveness will go up.
If he had to recruit them himself, he didn't know how much money and grain it would cost to get these three thousand troops.
Counting the 5,000 troops he currently has, he now has eight thousand troops.
It's already not bad.
Of course, the 5,000 troops suffered losses in the previous battles, but they have all been replenished through various channels.
Afterwards, Liu Bei returned to his camp, found Zhang Fei and Especially Guan Yu Yu, and said to them: "Second brother, third brother! Quickly pack up your things, reorganize the troops, we are preparing to go to Xuzhou."
"Hmm?"
Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this: "Why, Big Brother? Is that old man Kong Rong killing the donkey after the mill, preparing to drive us away?"
"I'll go stab him 100 transparent holes! You can't do this!"
"Third brother! Don't talk nonsense! Things are not what you think."
Liu Bei frowned and scolded when he heard this.
Everything about his third brother is good, except that he doesn't like to listen to people and is impulsive and irritable.
Sometimes it makes him have a headache.
At this time, Especially Guan Yu Yu also spoke: "Third brother, calm down first and listen to Big Brother finish."
Zhang Fei calmed down temporarily, and Especially Guan Yu Yu continued to look at Liu Bei and asked: "Big Brother! What is the reason? Why are we suddenly going to Xuzhou again? What happened there?"
Liu Bei immediately told Zhang Fei and Especially Guan Yu 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!"
"In addition, Qingzhou is chaotic, and population loss is also very serious. It is indeed not suitable as our foundation!"
"By comparison, Xuzhou is much more prosperous and wealthy!"
"The key is that it hasn't experienced much war yet. If we can get Xuzhou as a foundation, the great cause is promising!"
"Furthermore, second brother, third brother, didn't you regret not being able to fight Lu Bu last time?"
"Now isn't the opportunity here?"
"Fight Lu Bu well, maybe you will really break through to the Heaven-Man Realm!"
If this is really the case, then he will really make it big.
Those are Heaven-Man Divine Generals!
If he can have two Heaven-Man Divine Generals, why worry about not accomplishing the great cause?
How many warlords in this world can be his second brother and third brother's opponents?
"Eh? That's true! This is good!"
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Finally, there is a chance to fight the thief Lu Bu! I want to see how powerful this Heaven-Man Divine General is!"
"Indeed!"
Especially Guan Yu Yu also stroked his beard with expectation: "There is no reason why Lu Bu can break through to the Heaven-Man Realm, but we can't! This is our opportunity! Then let's go to Xuzhou!"
"However, Big Brother, how can you ensure that we won't be driven away by Tao Qian again after we go to Xuzhou?"
"And how can you ensure that we can gain a foothold in Xuzhou, or even occupy Xuzhou?"
"That Tao Qian shouldn't be simple either, right?"
Things that have happened once, he doesn't want to happen a second time.
"Yes!"
Zhang Fei also reacted and couldn't help but look at his Big Brother: "Big Brother, how can you guarantee?"
"Hehe!"
Liu Bei smiled slightly: "I naturally learned my lesson and have ideas in my heart!"
"First, Tao 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;"
"Second, Tao Qian's two sons are both mediocre in ability and cannot hold Xuzhou in a chaotic world;"
"Third, Xuzhou is not monolithic internally, and we have the opportunity to divide and win people over!"
"Finally, we can nurture bandits to increase our own importance, not in a hurry 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;"
"I believe that as long as I am given enough time, I will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou!"
"Of course,"
Speaking of this, Liu Bei noticed that Especially Guan Yu Yu's expression changed slightly, and his face sank, looking a bit disappointed: "Brother knows! Doing this is a bit unkind!"

"Calculating against people behind their backs is not what a gentleman does!"
"But brother has no other way! Watching the Son of Heaven suffer, the Han world falling apart, watching the Han about to go and never return!"
"Brother has achieved nothing, not even a piece of territory! Every time I think of these, my heart aches like a knife;"
"Therefore, in order to revitalize the Han, so that the Han world will not be completely overturned, even if I become a despicable person, I must turn the tide;"
"If you second brother and third brother cannot understand and accept it, and are unwilling to continue following me, I can also understand. How about we part ways here?"
Liu Bei saw that Especially Guan Yu Yu was a bit uncomfortable. There was no way, his change before and after was too big.
From full of benevolence and morality, suddenly becoming calculating behind people's backs, calculating other people's foundation.
No matter how you look at it, it is not what a benevolent person does.
Even if he knew that even if he didn't say this, Especially Guan Yu Yu and Zhang Fei probably wouldn't leave him.
