Zhang Fei muttered something on the side, and Liu Bei couldn't help but frowned after hearing this.

Nowadays, half of Xuzhou is controlled by Cao Jun.

So what if he takes over Xuzhou? Will Cao Cao let him control Xuzhou?

What's more, there is one more Lu Bu this time.

Once Tao Qian dies, in Liu Bei's view, the entire Xuzhou will inevitably fall apart due to factional reasons.

As a result, Cao Cao had a huge advantage.

How will he confront Cao Cao then?

"Zizhong, Gongyou, although what you two said is correct, at this moment Xuzhou is not something I can take over if I can."

"If you accept Lu Bu, he will have more than ten thousand soldiers under his command. This kind of power cannot be underestimated!"

"What's more, Cao Jun is still watching with eager eyes outside!"

"This Xuzhou, I..."

Unable to pick it up, Liu Bei was a little helpless.

If Cao Cao was not outside, there would be no problem for him to take over Xuzhou. The key is that Cao Cao's army is now in Xuzhou.

Once the opponent attacks, it will be impossible to resist with the strength they currently control.

"What the lord said is true!"

Sun Qian nodded, the presence of Cao Jun was indeed difficult to ignore.

Mi Zhu next to her also frowned.

At this moment, Sun Qian suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Bei.

"My lord, why not drive away the wolf and devour the tiger!"

Wanting Liu Bei to secure Xuzhou, Sun Qian thought about it carefully and found that it was a bit too difficult after all.

Although he, Mi Zhu, and most of the people in Xuzhou did not have many opinions on supporting Liu Bei.

But the nobles in Xuzhou and Cao Cao cannot be ignored.

Lu Bu finally settled in Xuzhou, and Tao Qian's original intention was to let him contain Xuzhou's forces.

With the addition of a new force, the whole of Xuzhou will be more wary.

However, Tao Qian is not a good player after all.

However, Tao Qian is already dying, so nothing the other party does will surprise anyone.

If Liu Bei had promised Tao Qian to take over Xuzhou earlier, Lu Bu would not have entered Xuzhou now.

Of course, no one can say whether Liu Bei will accept Lu Bu or not.

"Driving away wolves and devouring tigers?"

"What's the explanation?"

Liu Bei glanced at Sun Qian curiously.

Several people on the side also turned their attention to Sun Qian.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Sun Qian opened his mouth and explained leisurely.

"The so-called driving away wolves and devouring tigers is to use one force to drive away other forces!"

"Now, it is too difficult for my lord to sit firmly in Xuzhou!"

"I heard that my lord and Cao Cao are acquaintances. Since it is difficult to resist Cao Cao's army now, why not take the initiative to let Cao Cao's army enter Xuzhou!"

"Given the conflict between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, it is impossible for the two to live in harmony!"

"With this, we can drive away wolves and devoured tigers. Later, the lord will take the opportunity to plot something else!"

After saying this, Liu Bei frowned slightly.

Zhang Fei beside him could no longer bear it.

What is this called driving away wolves and devouring tigers? This is clearly bowing to Cao Cao!

What's your plan, Sun Gan?

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had just surrendered, Zhang Fei couldn't help opening his mouth to curse.

At this moment, the whole face was a little darkened, and the features began to look a little more ferocious.

Sun Qian's expression didn't change much.

He knew that if he said such words, he would easily make people unhappy.

But now, for Liu Bei, there is no other choice.

For now, this is considered the best choice.

Guan Yu's expression is also a little ugly.

This strategy is not a clever one, it is nothing more than bowing your head!

Mi Zhu beside him also sighed.

Liu Bei raised his head and glanced at Sun Qian. He also knew in his heart that it was extremely difficult for the other party to tell such a plan to his face.

This kind of courage is not easy!

Liu Bei's eyes flickered, and his expression gradually became a little dazed.

Before that, he was just a small county captain.

Over the past few years, he looked back and found that his journey had been too difficult, and he had not achieved much until now.

Such a big piece of cake from Xuzhou almost hit him on the head, which really made Liu Bei a little happy.

But now he realizes that he can’t swallow this piece of cake!

"Just do as Gongyou said!"

Liu Bei came back to his senses and smiled at Sun Qian.

Hearing this, Sun Qian in front of him was completely stunned.

He originally thought that such a strategy would make Liu Bei feel disgusted and even angry.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei accepted it readily.

How courageous this is.

Without any hesitation, Sun Qian turned over and knelt down directly in front of Liu Bei.

"My lord trusts me so much, I will live up to my lord in this life!"

Just one sentence made Sun Qian completely recognize Liu Bei.

Although he had taken the initiative to serve the other party before, he still had some considerations in his heart.

Although this strategy is a helpless move, it is also a building of trust between each other.

If Liu Bei is unwilling, he may become angry and drive him away.

Then there will no longer be any relationship between them as ministers.

However, at this moment, Liu Bei readily accepted it, which made Sun Qian feel a little warm in his heart.

As the saying goes, a scholar will die for a confidant.

He is lucky to meet such a lord.

Seeing Sun Qian next to him like this, Mi Zhu naturally felt something in her heart.

Mi Zhu was also waiting for Liu Bei's reaction to Sun Qian's plan.

If the other party drives Sun Qian away in anger, it will be difficult for people to surrender with such an attitude.

But Liu Bei’s choice is gratifying.

So what if Xuzhou is gone?

His Mi family has a lot of wealth, so he has the ability to help Liu Bei make a comeback.

Such a change only occurs in an instant.

Next to them, Guan and Zhang were somewhat stunned.

However, no matter how you look at the results in front of you, they are extremely good.

……

Mid-June, Slight Heat!

For more than a month, rainfall has been scarce in all parts of Han Dynasty.

In Yanzhou, it just rained lightly.

This rain was like God's sudden interest, but it came suddenly and ended too quickly.
