Chapter 604

"Sir, what are you saying? Your suggestion is a golden word! I wish you would give more advice!"

Liu Bei gave Chen Deng a smile like a spring breeze.

He actually wanted Chen Deng to submit completely, and had tried it.

But the man was willing to serve him, but not willing to call him his Lord.

There was still a significant difference.

However, Liu Bei did not force Chen Deng, only thinking that the time was short, the Chen family was big, and there were too many concerns, and Chen Deng was still watching his ability and potential.

Therefore, Liu Bei was not angry at Chen Deng's attitude, but rather appreciated and trusted Chen Deng even more.

If someone easily served him as Lord at the beginning, he would have to worry about whether there was any conspiracy.

After all, he knew his own situation very well, and he knew the situation of the Chen family very well.

Pies don't fall from the sky.

Chen Gong looked at Chen Deng with appreciation and said: "I have long heard that Chen Yuanlong of Xuzhou has peerless talent. I didn't believe it in the past, but today, I completely believe it!"

Chen Deng smiled faintly: "Not at all! Mr. Gongtai overpraises me! Compared to you, I am still far behind!"

"Heh!"

Chen Gong smiled noncommittally, then looked at Liu Bei: "I wonder what decision Lord Xuande has made?"

Liu Bei replied immediately: "I think Mr. Yuanlong's analysis is very reasonable. Since the Marquis of Wen has such sincerity, I agree to the peace negotiation and alliance!"

"We will temporarily use our current boundary line as the boundary, live in peace, and work together to deal with Cao Cao;"

"After defeating Cao Cao, we will see what the relationship will be. What do you think, Mr. Gongtai?"

Liu Bei would certainly not do permanent peace and alliance.

Because he was still thinking that after his strength became strong, he would fight back, drive Lu Bu out of Xuzhou, occupy Xuzhou completely, and become the true master of Xuzhou!

Otherwise, just being the master of a small half of Xuzhou looked a bit low-grade.

Of course, his ambition was far more than Xuzhou. In the future, he also wanted to take Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and even the entire Great Han world.

He wanted to be the second Liu Xiu, revive the Han three times, become the ancestor of the Han season, and leave his name in history.

Of course, he knew this was very difficult, and almost impossible to achieve.

But he still wanted to fight, so that his time in this chaotic world wouldn't be in vain, right?

Think of the ancestors Liu Bang and Liu Xiu, whose early situations were even worse than his!

In the end, didn't they succeed step by step?

He believed he could do it too.

"Haha! That's natural!"

Chen Gong naturally heard the hidden meaning in Liu Bei's words and agreed with a smile, without any intention of refusing.

Because he and Lu Bu thought the same!

After defeating Cao Cao, there was no need to let Liu Bei occupy a part of Xuzhou, and it was even an eyesore.

At that time, their strength would have increased greatly, and they could completely defeat Liu Bei by force.

Even if they couldn't kill Liu, Guan, and Zhang in the end, they had to drive them out of Xuzhou.

Just like this, with both sides having their own ghosts, Lu Bu and Liu Bei reached an agreement, formed an alliance, and began to bury their heads in development.

The war in Xuzhou ended abruptly, as if returning to the peaceful period of the past.

Afterward, Liu Bei went to see Tao Qian and talked about the peace negotiation and alliance.

"Is that so?"

Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei deeply and sighed: "That's good! Indeed, Xuzhou should not be chaotic anymore! We can't let Cao Cao take advantage!"

"I have already abdicated to you, so you don't need to tell me about this kind of thing in the future! Lord Xuande, you can handle it yourself!"

"I already feel that I won't live for a few days! I hope Lord Xuande can keep his promise and take care of my Tao family for me! Please!"

At this time, Tao Qian's face was withered, even more unbearable than the last time Liu Bei saw him.

It was indeed a state of being terminally ill and nearing death.

This made a trace of sadness appear in Liu Bei's heart, but it was quickly drowned out by a strong sense of joy.

He was ultimately abdicated by Tao Qian, and Tao Qian had been operating in Xuzhou for many years, with forces all over Xuzhou.

If Tao Qian didn't die, Liu Bei couldn't truly sit firmly in the position of King of Qi.

Therefore, he still hoped that Tao Qian would die early.

Although thinking this way was a bit immoral, for the sake of his great cause, Liu Bei felt that he could only be hypocritical once.

Everything for the Great Han!

"Lord Tao, please rest assured, I will definitely do what I promised!"

That's what he thought in his heart, but on the surface, Liu Bei replied respectfully.

"Good! Very good! That's good!"

Tao Qian nodded powerlessly, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

However, a few days later, Tao Qian died of illness.

Liu Bei was completely at ease and began to actively govern the small half of Xuzhou he controlled, and fully expanded his military preparations.
