Chapter 301
He took Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci, Guo Jia, Fa Zheng, and others into Tancheng.
"Xuande is of high righteousness; this old man, this old man is extremely grateful."
Tao Qian saw Liu Bei, held Liu Bei's hand, was extremely excited, and was a bit incoherent.
Liu Bei smiled.
"Tao Gong has gifted me grain several times; coming to help this time is also a matter of course; besides, Cao Cao is slaughtering the innocent in Xuzhou, so I cannot sit idly by and ignore it!"
The noble families of Xuzhou praised Liu Bei one after another.
"Lord Xuande is indeed benevolent throughout the world!"
"The model of our Han!"
"Lord Xuande has come, Xuzhou is saved."
Tao Qian was filled with emotion, looked around, and felt that he was really old, his will depressed.
He suddenly bowed deeply to Liu Bei.
"Xuande, this old man is old, my two sons are untalented and cannot bear the heavy responsibility of the country; you, Xuande, are known for your benevolence throughout the world, a descendant of the imperial family, with great virtue and talent; you can lead Xuzhou; this old man is willing to beg for leisure to recuperate!"
Everyone was shocked; they didn't expect Tao Qian to want to give up Xuzhou as soon as they met!
Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he thought to himself,
"I really didn't choose wrong; this is the wealthy Xuzhou with three million people, not my pork shop!"
The Xia Kingdom live broadcast room also exploded, and netizens from various countries sighed one after another.
"Damn, this Tao Qian is old and confused; this is a whole state!"
"The Eared Thief's prestige is this high? Awesome!"
"Taking Xuzhou, the Eared Thief will have two states, nearly seven million people, and become the number one warlord in the world!"
"Why don't you agree quickly!"
Liu Bei also bowed to Tao Qian.
"Tao Gong has benevolence and virtue, and manages Xuzhou well; I just came to rescue, how can I get this Xuzhou? This matter must not be done!"
Zhang Fei?? Big Brother actually refused; this isn't a piece of pork, it's Xuzhou!
He was anxious to death, wishing he could agree for Liu Bei!
"If Second Brother were here, it would be great!"
Tao Qian was sincere in giving it up; he had been scared by Cao Cao recently, and after the city was broken, his life would definitely not be saved.
Moreover, his health had been very poor recently, and he was afraid he wouldn't last long.
Liu Bei was also sincere in not wanting it.
Xuzhou is a place of four battles, far away from Bingzhou; if he took Xuzhou, not only would Cao Cao fight him, but Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and even Lu Bu would come to fight him!
If a pack of wolves attacked together, even a tiger would have to run away, and even one mistake would lead to a total loss!
Moreover,
this time Liu Bei came to rescue Xuzhou, and the world admired him for it.
If he took over Xuzhou, the nature of the matter would change.
Liu Bei's act of refusal instantly won the favor of the Xuzhou noble families.
Tao Qian was already in tears.
"Xuande, don't decline; these old bones of mine are about to fail."
Tao Qian tried to persuade him again, but Liu Bei refused resolutely again!
Tao Qian was too excited and fainted instantly!
Liu Bei??
Everyone? Actually giving away Xuzhou and making himself faint!
The live broadcast room was also full of exclamation marks.
"Too magical!"
"What is the Eared Thief doing? Look at how he angered Tao Qian; just take Xuzhou away!"
"That is, when my Brother Fei gave you all his family wealth, did you hesitate!"
"What is the Eared Thief pretending for? Sometimes I really don't understand him."
"Is there a possibility that the Eared Thief really doesn't want Xuzhou?"
"The person upstairs finally understands."
Everyone helped Tao Qian up in a flurry.
Liu Bei took Tao Qian's pulse.
"Everyone, don't panic; Tao Gong is just too anxious, plus he has been worried too much these days, so he fainted; he will be fine after resting for a night."
Tao Qian was sent to rest.
The noble families of Xuzhou came to get to know Liu Bei.
"Old man Chen Gui has met Lord Xuande."
"Chen Deng has met Lord Xuande."
"So it is the Chen father and son; the Chen family has two talents, I have long admired them."
Both claimed they didn't dare.
Liu Bei was sincerely praising the two.
As the saying goes, the Chen father and son are like iron, while the Governor of Xuzhou is like flowing water!
As the local noble family of Xuzhou,
the Chen family first assisted Tao Qian,
then Liu Bei,
and then Lu Bu, especially playing Lu Bu around, and finally defected to Cao Cao.
Whether in the Romance or historical materials,
the Chen Gui and Chen Deng father and son of the Xuzhou noble families always give people a feeling of being sinister villains.
But Liu Bei felt that this was also a way of life, at least it guaranteed the safety of their family.
No matter who managed Xuzhou, they would still dance, drink, flirt, and pay grain as usual!
It was similar to Jia Xu's planning for himself.
Chen Deng, however, looked down on Yuan Shu; he could defect to anyone else, but he wouldn't defect to this childhood playmate, obviously not thinking highly of him.
Liu Bei met everyone and talked happily.
It was not easy to drink alcohol now, but everyone was glowing.
"Lord Xuande has come, we are finally saved."
"Lord Xuande, don't leave in the future."
"Bingzhou is bitter and cold, Xuzhou's climate is so good."
"Lord Xuande, my daughter at home has just grown up and admires you greatly; I only ask..."
Liu Bei thanked them while declining.
The live broadcast room was sour.
"Sending money, sending grain, sending women, and even sending Xuzhou; what is so good about the Eared Thief!"
"I can only be envious!"
"Liu Bei is also too popular with the people."
Everyone chatted until late at night before gradually dispersing; Lord Xuande had come, and they could finally sleep well.
Zhang Fei scratched his ears and cheeks, finally finding an opportunity.
"Big Brother, it's not that I'm talking about you, such a good opportunity, why did you give it up? This is Xuzhou!"
"Guo Jia, Xun You, why didn't you persuade him!"
Taishi Ci cupped his hands.
"My lord is benevolent, but this Xuzhou..." ===== CHAPTER 302 =====
