Chapter 306

Liu Bei did not take it to heart.

Tao Qian had managed Xuzhou for many years, and Cao Cao was currently in a precarious position; since he himself could hold Xuzhou, why bother ceding it? It was only human nature.

But in the eyes of others, Liu Bei was truly peerless in benevolence and righteousness, refusing Xuzhou even when it was served to him on a platter.

"Lord Tao is ill, and Lord Xuande still helps him with his medical care; he is truly too benevolent and righteous!"

Everyone admired Liu Bei, and everyone felt they could never be like Liu Bei!

Soon, these events spread from Xuzhou across the length and breadth of the land!

【Ding! Liu Bei, you have aided Xuzhou from a thousand miles away and refused Tao Qian's offer of Xuzhou dozens of times; your name for benevolence, righteousness, and loyalty has spread across the Nine Provinces once again, and your prestige has risen!】

【Special Reward: Daoist Absorption and Breathing Technique: Strengthens the body and delays aging.】

【Daoist Art of Yin-Yang Harmonization: Once Yin and Yang are balanced, all illnesses vanish!】

【Reward: Physique +2, Lifespan +10 years.】

Liu Bei was overjoyed.

"The system gave me a miraculous medicine that can cure all illnesses? Powerful! Awesome!"

"This breathing technique can actually be passed on to the ladies."

The people of the Xia Kingdom also received corresponding rewards and were deeply moved.

"So Liu Bei refused Xuzhou for our sake."

"Liu Daer is awesome!"

"I am so captivated by Liu Bei that I can't help myself!" said a certain young lady.

Bai Yuekui also received a reward.

"I've become prettier, and also bigger? Then I must repay his kindness! ~"

Puyang City.

After a period of hardship and displacement, Lu Bu finally regained most of Yanzhou, and he instantly felt he was capable again.

"Hmph, Yuan Benchu only knows how to use me. Without you, I can still accomplish great things!"

Lu Lingqi walked over.

"Father, Lord Xuande intercepted Cao Cao in Xuzhou and helped us a lot. Shouldn't we express our gratitude?"

Lu Bu instantly felt terrible.

"Hmph, Liu Bei only has twenty thousand men. If I hadn't raided Yanzhou, Liu Bei might have been wiped out by Cao Cao. He should be thanking me!"

"What is so good about Liu Bei that you worship him so much!"

His own precious daughter not only failed to worship him but instead viewed his most hated enemy, Liu Bei, as a role model. How could Lu Bu not be angry?

He also thought of a more terrifying matter.

"I absolutely must not let that eared thief meet my daughter!"

Losing Diao Chan and then losing his daughter?

Lu Bu felt he could not bear such a heavy blow!

"Hmph, from now on, you are forbidden from mentioning Liu Bei!"

Lu Lingqi looked at Lu Bu's back and huffed.

At her current age, she was in the rebellious phase of youth.

"If you won't let me mention him, I'll think about him even more! Lord Xuande is benevolent, righteous, and brave; he is simply a perfect man! If only I could meet him!"

Lu Bu did not expect Chen Gong to bring up Liu Bei again.

"My lord, Liu Bei helped Tao Qian hold Xuzhou and refused to accept it, so his prestige is even greater. My lord is a hero who killed Dong Zhuo; you should interact with him."

"Cao Cao still has over eighty thousand troops in total, which is not easy to deal with, and Yuan Shao might help him."

Lu Bu...

"Gongtai, can you stop asking me to seek out that eared thief!"

Chen Gong bowed with cupped hands.

"My lord, to achieve great things, one must endure what ordinary people cannot. In the past, Han Xin..."

Lu Bu sighed deeply.

"Fine, let that eared thief be arrogant for a few more years!"

Cao Cao led his army to counterattack Lu Bu, thinking he could easily defeat him.

Unexpectedly, they fought in Puyang and suffered several defeats.

The locust plague in Yanzhou was even more widespread and fierce!

Both sides were increasingly short of grain and temporarily retreated to face each other.

Cao Cao sent messengers on horseback to beg Yuan Shao for aid while trying every possible method to gather grain and fodder.

Xuzhou, Tancheng, Tao Qian's residence.

The place was brightly lit, and everyone was drinking and feasting.

"Xuande is loyal and righteous; every time, it is you who rescues everyone."
