Tao Qian sighed. He was still somewhat resentful about Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou.

It is clear that his father's reasons cannot be blamed on himself.

He has suffered an unparalleled disaster.

But now, Tao Qian has looked away.

Perhaps when a person reaches the age of destiny, after experiencing this serious illness, certain things can be seen more clearly in an instant.

The Han Dynasty is in danger and there are many princes. This is a sign of the general change of the world.

In troubled times, it is not that simple to survive alone.

Xuzhou is located in the Central Plains, a battleground for all the princes in the world.

His idea of ​​preserving Xuzhou is simply unrealistic.

Whether it's Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, or Yuan Shao.

These people all covet Xuzhou.

However, now that Yuan and Yuan have no time to be distracted, Cao Cao is just taking advantage of it.

In the final analysis, his father's incident was just an excuse to target Xuzhou.

And this excuse was also given to him by Xuzhou.

After talking to Cao Bao for a while, Tao Qian already felt a little tired.

The energy in him is gone.

It probably won't last much longer.

The only thing we can hope for now is that after Liu Bei takes over Xuzhou, he will treat Xuzhou as he wants.

Just when Tao Qian was about to lie down and rest again, a messenger suddenly came from outside to report.

After hearing the news, Tao Qian forced himself to recruit the messengers again despite his fatigue.

After the messenger came in, he saluted Tao Qian and then said.

"Envoy, there is an envoy coming from outside the city, saying that his master Lu Bu also wants to help you!"

Lu Bu?

Upon hearing the news, Tao Qian was stunned for a moment.

Cao Bao on the side reacted immediately.

Who is Lu Bu?

That was a thunderous presence among the entire Han Dynasty. How could Cao Bao not have heard of it?

At this moment, Cao Bao was a little surprised when he heard that Lu Bu suddenly appeared outside Xuzhou.

He glanced at Tao Qian subconsciously, and Tao Qian in front of him was also frowning.

"Where is the messenger?"

"Replying to the envoy, the other party is now in the post house!"

See you?

Tao Qian's eyes narrowed, and he felt a little sleepy all over his body.

Lu Bu appeared outside Xuzhou. Although the news was a bit unexpected, Tao Qian quickly understood it.

The Yanzhou rebellion was caused by Lu Bu.

Now that Cao Cao has put down the internal troubles in Yanzhou, it makes sense that Lu Bu appears outside Xuzhou.

The other party is here to help me, but is there no place to go?

Tao Qian had some considerations. Lu Bu's appearance in Xuzhou could not be said to be good or bad.

He glanced at Cao Bao, who seemed to understand something and turned to look at Tao Qian.

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu is here to help Xuzhou, we can't refuse him!"

Cao Bao thought very simply. Tao Qian had asked various princes for help because Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou.

Now Lu Bu comes to help with an excuse, and the reason is naturally not that simple.

But the appearance of such a person in Xuzhou is not a bad thing in Cao Bao's opinion.

Lu Bu hated Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is now attacking Xuzhou.

Naturally, it is impossible for the entire Xuzhou to surrender to Cao Cao like this. Now that Lu Bu is invited in, it is not a bad thing.

"Lu Bu!"

Tao Qian murmured something at the corner of his mouth.

Now that Lu Bu has arrived in Xuzhou, the reason may be because the other party has been invaded by Cao Cao and has no place to go.

On the other hand, he may also have taken a fancy to Xuzhou.

But!

He, Tao Qian, was already about to die, so he had nothing to fear.

Now that Lu Bu is here, let the other party come!

Liu Bei has been unwilling to take over the position of Xuzhou. After Lu Bu appears in Xuzhou, his attitude may change.

Lu Bu, in Tao Qian's eyes, is naturally incomparable to Liu Bei.

But he, Tao Qian, has always asked Liu Bei to take over as Xuzhou Mu, but the other party has repeatedly pushed back. Now, he, Tao Qian, wants to put some pressure on Liu Bei.

"Forget it if we meet!"

"Inform the other party's envoy that Xuzhou is willing to accept Lu Bu. I think about it and let Lu Bu live in Pengcheng for the time being!"

After informing the messenger, Tao Qian said nothing more.

Cao Bao on the side nodded. With Lu Bu stationed in Xuzhou, there will naturally be one more variable for the entire Xuzhou situation.

Pengcheng, Xiapi, and Tancheng are at odds with each other, and it would be helpful to fight against Cao's army.

……

"Lu Bu?"

Within the Chen Mansion in Tancheng.

After learning that Tao Qian accepted Lu Bu into Xuzhou, the Chen family and his son were somewhat surprised.

Although Lu Bu is famous, his current situation is like that of a lost dog.

After leaving Chang'an at the beginning, Lu Bu worked under the Yuan brothers successively, and then became involved with Zhang Yang.

In the previous Yanzhou Incident, Lu Bu's role was even more obvious.

This time, this person transferred to Xuzhou again.

Now, it really feels like a bereaved dog with nowhere to go.

However, this dog is also a ferocious beast.

A beast that no one in the world can ignore.

"Although Lu Bu is very brave, he is just a man!"

Chen Deng commented that in his opinion, Lu Bu's role in the previous incident in Yanzhou was obvious.

But it is obvious that this person is just a knife used by Chen Gong and Zhang Miao.

But I don’t know this knife.

Such people are the simplest, and can make them feel happy with just a few words.

Not a threat.

"Yuanlong, do you want to inform Cao Ren about Lu Bu's arrival?"

During this time, Chen had already contacted Cao Ren, and the correspondence between them was extremely close.

The Chen family and some of the noble families in Xuzhou have expressed their willingness to welcome Cao Cao to take control of Xuzhou during their contacts with Cao Ren.

The two parties are now extremely ambiguous.

"Just mention it!"

Chen Deng thought for a while and said casually.

It won't be long before everyone knows about Lu Bu's entry into Xuzhou, and Cao Ying will naturally know about it too.

There is no need to cover up this matter.

As Chen Deng finished speaking, Chen Gui also nodded.

"However, although this person is just a useless man, the soldiers he brings under his command should not be underestimated!"

With Lu Bu's arrival, Xuzhou finally gained more power.
