Chapter 302

Liu Bei smiled.

"Alright, Yide, Ziyi, I know you are doing this for my own good; don't mention this matter again; I will never take this Xuzhou."

Guo Jia cupped his hands.

"My lord is wise."

Zhang Fei... this is still wise!

"Guo Fengxiao, you sycophant, don't ruin my Big Brother."

Guo Jia's mouth twitched.

"Yide, what do you know!"

"Tao Qian has managed Xuzhou for many years; is it something that can be given away just like that? Although Xuzhou is wealthy, it is a place of four battles; can the surrounding wolves let my lord enter and rule Xuzhou in peace? It is far away from Bingzhou; attending to one thing and losing another, the loss outweighs the gain."

"The noble families of Xuzhou, and even Tao Qian, are just afraid of Cao Cao's military force and want my lord to protect them; once Cao Cao's troops retreat, it will be hard to say."

"Moreover, my lord came to rescue; if you become the master of Xuzhou at this time, what will the world think?"

Zhang Fei seemed to understand but not quite.

A guard came to report.

"My lord, Mi Zizhong is visiting."

Liu Bei nodded; his brother-in-law had come.

"My lord."

Mi Zhu walked in and cupped his hands.

Liu Bei helped him up.

"Zizhong, I have been waiting for you in Bingzhou for a long time."

Mi Zhu said in a low voice,

"My lord, it's not that I didn't want to come; Tao Gong had a lot of opinions about me defecting to you, so I haven't been able to set off."

Zhang Fei??

"This Tao Qian, I thought he was a good old man; it turns out he has always been guarding against Big Brother!"

Liu Bei smiled.

"This time Tao Qian can't stop Zizhong from coming to Bingzhou."

Mi Zhu was very moved; his talent was average, but Liu Bei valued him so much, which made him feel very warm in his heart.

The next day, Tao Qian woke up, and the first thing he did was look for Liu Bei, afraid that he would run away.

Seeing Liu Bei, naturally, it was another round of giving away Xuzhou, and Liu Bei declined again!

After lunch, Tao Qian tried to persuade him again, but Liu Bei still refused!

Three times of letting and three times of refusing,

everyone praised Liu Bei's high righteousness!

Cao Cao outside the city sent a war letter to Liu Bei to fight a decisive battle today,

but Liu Bei hung up the 'no-war' sign, which made Cao Cao furious.

Cao Cao was about to have his home stolen, so there was no need to lose troops to fight him; he would retreat on his own later and fight Lu Bu!

"What? Tao Qian wants to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei?!"

"Three times of letting Xuzhou, and Liu Bei is still pretending? Both of them are sick!"

After Cao Cao heard this news, he instantly doubted life!

He raised almost all his troops to take Xuzhou, Tao Qian resisted to the death, and he lost troops and generals,

but Liu Bei just brought troops to help, and Tao Qian actually wanted to give Xuzhou's three million people to Liu Bei!

"I fought bloody battles, spent hundreds of thousands of grain and pay, the Eared Thief is shameless! He came and just picked the peach!"

"Old fellow Tao Qian, pedantic and incompetent, and also dim-sighted!"

Cao Cao became angrier the more he thought about it, and he didn't feel well at all, his head splitting with pain!

"Alas, I am so angry!"

Xi Zhicai persuaded,

"My lord, don't worry, Liu Bei will definitely not want this Xuzhou..."

Cao Cao was blinded by jealousy for a moment, but after Xi Zhicai's analysis, he let out a long breath.

"What is Liu Bei trying to do! Idle? With so many beautiful concubines at home, why come out? Does he like that little old man Tao Qian! His taste is really heavy!"

Cao Cao complained for a while, and his mood improved a lot.

"The Eared Thief is sick! If you don't want it, give it to me!"

"Let Xia Hou Dun and the others go to challenge again!"

"Understood!" ===== CHAPTER 303 =====
