The sky is a little gloomy, and even the rain seems to have turned gray.

There were cries all around, and everything seemed a bit too sudden.

Liu Bei was in a daze.

Tao Qian died, passing away suddenly in the depths of summer.

Recalling his first arrival in Xuzhou, Liu Bei felt increasingly sad.

Tao Qian's treatment of their brothers was extremely good, and he could be said to be very considerate.

The brothers were short of troops, so Tao Qian turned around and sent thousands of Danyang soldiers to resist Cao Cao, forcing all Cao Bao to obey his orders.

It has been entrusted to Xuzhou several times before.

Various measures can show Tao Qian's trust in him.

Now, Tao Gong is dead, but he can't even see him one last time.

Liu Bei looked sobbing and remained silent for a long time.

Beside them, Guan and Zhang both looked a little sad.

"General, before his death, Mr. Tao made a final statement. I hope General will take over the great cause of Xuzhou!"

Mi Zhu held up Tao Qian's last words with both hands, her voice low and her whole body trembling slightly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Liu Bei.

After hearing this, Liu Bei looked at Tao Qian's last words in front of him with fixed eyes.

If he accepts this will, he will be the lord of Xuzhou in the future.

However, Liu Bei seemed a little dazed at this moment, as if he didn't hear Mi Zhu's voice.

Cao Bao on the side didn't say a word, just looked at the scene in front of him quietly.

Before Tao Qian died, he had entrusted him with instructions.

If you follow Liu Bei, then follow Liu Bei.

"Brother!"

Seeing Liu Bei's lack of response, Zhang Fei beside him couldn't help but feel anxious.

In the current situation, brother, why should I hesitate?

This is already Tao Qian's fate, why is the elder brother still hesitating?

Zhang Fei was a little confused and quickly shouted to Liu Bei.

On the other side, Guan Yu also raised his head and looked at Liu Bei quietly.

Compared to Zhang Fei's anxiety, Guan Yu didn't say anything.

He can somewhat understand how his eldest brother is feeling at this moment.

Your fate is right in front of you, so there is no need to worry about it.

Probably thinking about Tao Qian's friendship, I should express my stance this time.

"General?"

Mi Zhu shouted again, her voice already somewhat tragic.

Liu Bei came back to his senses, looked at Mi Zhu who was holding his life in front of him, and then glanced at the people in front of him again.

"Bei, how can I be so virtuous and capable as to be able to withstand such great trust from Mr. Tao?"

Liu Bei's voice was low, but there was no intention of rejection in his words.

After hearing this, Mi Zhu bowed her body and did not move, and handed the suicide note up with both hands.

On the side, Sun Qian glanced at Liu Bei and bowed directly to speak.

"Before your death, I used my fingers to tell you that the general is an outstanding person in the world, and only the general can shoulder this great responsibility!"

"If the general cannot supervise Xuzhou, none of us in Xuzhou will be able to live in peace!"

Sun Qian shouted loudly and his words were quite sincere.

Hearing this, Cao Bao's face also darkened: "Please also ask Mr. Liu to take over this life!"

As Cao Bao spoke out, the entire Danyang Sect had recognized Liu Bei's identity.

Coupled with the forces led by Mi Zhu and Sun Qian, except for some Xuzhou nobles, Liu Bei has won the hearts of most of the people.

Liu Bei hasn't spoken yet.

After seeing this situation, Guan and Zhang on the side also spoke out to advise.

As everyone spoke sincerely, Liu Bei sighed, and then picked up the suicide note from Mi Zhu's hand.

"Since you all believe in Liu Bei so much, you should do your best and be worthy of the entrustment entrusted by Mr. Tao!"

"I've met Mr. Liu!"

Seeing Liu Bei take over the order, Mi Zhu was the first to speak out, followed closely by Cao Bao and others who also started to change their names.

From this moment on, Liu Bei became Xuzhou Mu!

"Zizhong, Gongyou, I have taken over Xuzhou and everything is unclear. Can you two be willing to temporarily take over the position of assistant?"

After the matter settled, Liu Bei withdrew his expression of compassion. After he calmed down, he looked at Sun Qian and Mi Zhu.

Immediately, he asked the two of them.

The two of them happily accepted the order, and Liu Bei immediately asked Cao Bao to take the lead in Xuzhou military affairs for the time being, and the latter also responded.

"I have issued an order to summon Chen Deng as the governor of Xuzhou!"

Liu Bei has not forgotten Chen Deng. Now that he has taken over Xuzhou's pastoral position, the nobles in Xuzhou cannot avoid it.

The Chen family is the leader of the Xuzhou gentry.

Regarding Chen Deng’s appointment, it can be regarded as a good relationship between Liu Bei and the Xuzhou gentry.

Mi Zhu and others did not have any objections to this.

"Everyone, Tao Gong is newly mourned. Please ask General Cao Bao to lead the troops to bring peace to the people!"

"Zizhong, you are responsible for the funeral of Mr. Tao!"

"I ordered all sergeants in Xuzhou to pay filial piety..."

Liu Bei opened his mouth and gave a series of instructions.

The top priority is Tao Qian's death, and no one has said anything about it.

……

At the same time.

Lu Bu, who was in Pengcheng, also received the news of Tao Qian's death at this moment.

Within the Pengcheng Yamen Office.

After hearing the news that Mi Zhu and other officials in Xuzhou were all heading towards Xiapi City to welcome Liu Bei as the pastor of Xuzhou, Lu Bu frowned visibly.

It had been less than a month since he entered Xuzhou. Within this month, he wanted to visit Tao Qian.

However, before he could see him, Tao Qian died.

The news came so quickly that for Lu Bu, his mood did not change much.

However, now that Xuzhou is about to change its owner, this kind of thing has added another variable for Lu Bu.

"Your Majesty, how virtuous and capable is Liu Bei that he got the land of Xuzhou for nothing?"

When Lu Bu was sullen, Hou Cheng beside him couldn't help but made a sarcastic remark.

After hearing this, Lu Bu raised his head and glanced at the other party.

Yes, why should Liu Bei?

This person was just an insignificant person in front of Hulao Pass back then!

He has neither fame nor prestige.

Why did you take over Xuzhou?

That Tao Qian really lost his mind.

Thinking about Lu Bu, he has been famous all over the world for a long time, and he is also the warmest prince of the Han Dynasty. Then why doesn't Tao Qian entrust Xuzhou to him?

"Your Majesty, I don't think Liu Bei has much prestige in Xuzhou. With your power, you can stay in Xuzhou temporarily!"

"One day, I can have a showdown with Cao Cao and avenge me and others for that day!"

Hou Cheng was angry, and everyone over there was a little moved by this.

Hearing this, Lu Bu nodded subconsciously.

Yes, if he had never had any territory, how could he be inferior to Cao Cao?
