Chapter 202 Cats and dogs also come to persuade peace
Holding a walking stick, Tao Qian trotted away and shouted: "I'm late to welcome you!"
Liu Bei hurriedly dismounted and raised his hand to return the salute.
He was the first rescuer who dared to come in after Xuzhou City was besieged.
After seeing Liu Bei, Tao Qian was very happy. He held the former's shoulders with both hands and shook him vigorously. Tears of excitement overflowed again.
Liu Bei is also a man with shallow eye sockets. He was supported by everyone just now, but now when he sees Tao Qian crying, he can't help but burst into tears.
"Master Tao Qian, you are suffering!
My Majesty Liu Bei, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, pays homage to Lord Tao Qian. "
No matter whether you cry or not, you should never forget something you should brag about when you see it.
After all, Liu Bei can only take advantage of this thing.
Tao Qian smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Bring me my big seal and give it to Liu Bei quickly."
"Uh!"
Suddenly hearing Tao Qian say that he would give him the seal, Liu Bei was startled, his eyes widened, and two emotions, excitement and worry, suddenly arose in his heart.
What do you mean?
Tao Qian was confused. Didn't he hear his own words clearly?
After bragging that he was Prince Jing of Zhongshan, he did not say that he was Prince Jing of Zhongshan.
Why was Tao Qian so polite and gave the seal directly?
In ancient times, the big seal was basically a symbol of power. Giving the big seal to Liu Bei was equivalent to giving the official title of Xuzhou Governor to Liu Bei.
Holding the big seal in his hand, Tao Qian burst into tears and spoke with deep affection.
"I see that your speech and behavior are nothing like ordinary people. I am old and incompetent and cannot take charge of Xuzhou. Please don't refuse."
Looking at the big seal so close at hand, Liu Bei's head was buzzing and his big ears were red.
Efforts always pay off.
A few days ago, I was a county magistrate, and I will soon be promoted to provincial governor.
If Liu Bei hadn't been sharp-eyed and saw the cold looks behind Tao Qian, he might have reached out to take the seal.
But in the end, he gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to reach out.
Liu Bei was still a complete nobody at this time, and many powerful people in Xuzhou City had just learned his name. No matter what, he would not be the governor of Xuzhou today.
Since it's impossible, let's establish a benevolent and righteous persona.
At the moment, Liu Bei talked eloquently and boasted a lot. Everyone nodded frequently, feeling that Xuzhou could be saved.
Finally, Liu Bei said solemnly: "Courtesy first, then attack. I have friendship with Cao Cao, so I will write a letter first to persuade him to make peace.
If he insists on not complying, it will not be too late to use swords and guns at that time. "
In fact, Liu Bei only met Cao Cao twice when he was attacking Dong Zhuo. It is not certain whether the latter remembered him.
But that didn't stop Liu Bei from raising his hand and bragging arrogantly: "I know Cao Cao, and we have a very close relationship..."
Everyone was in awe when they heard that Liu Bei actually knew Cao Cao, and there were many whispers in the hall.
"You underestimate Liu Bei, he actually has friendship with Cao Cao."
"It seems that we are ignorant. Liu Bei is not a mortal."
Tao Qian was also a little fooled, and bowed his hands: "Thank you, Mr. Xuande!"
……
"Your lord, Cao Cao's best friend, Liu Bei has sent a peace letter. Hurry up and present it to your lord."
At the gate of Cao Camp, a group of envoys came confidently. After giving a slight salute, they took out the letter from their arms and handed it to the sergeant on duty.
The sergeant on duty was slightly frightened when he heard this. He did not dare to neglect the visitor and hurriedly received the letter from the messenger.
After getting the letter, the officer on duty first went to the side to discuss.
"Have you ever heard of Liu Bei, my lord's best friend?"
"No, what he just said was that Brother Tie is cheating. The name sounds very cheating."
"Whatever his name is, have you ever heard of him?"
"Me? I've heard a little bit, hehe, I've heard a little bit."
The officer quietly turned around and saw the arrogance of the envoys, and he understood a little bit.
It was concluded that Liu Bei must be very powerful, so his envoys could not be offended.
He hurriedly sent someone to report the news to Cao Cao. At the same time, he took the envoy off his horse with a smile on his face and served him tea and snacks.
"Who is Liu Bei?"
After getting the letter handed over to him, Cao Cao read it up and down and asked questions.
Hearing this, Yu Jin stood up quickly, waved his hands and said loudly: "I know Liu Bei, I met him on the battlefield yesterday.
I almost chopped him to death, and hey, guess what?
Unexpectedly, he had a tall man with a beard under his command. He didn't know whether he was a coal burner or a charcoal digger. He was very dark-looking.
I was not very strong, and it was also my fault that I was hungry at the time, otherwise I would have killed the coal burner as well.
Next time don’t…”
Seeing Yu Jin spitting and having no intention of stopping, Cao Cao interrupted him with a loud shout.
"Then who is Liu Bei?"
"This? This?"
Yu Jin smacked his lips, stammered, and scratched his head in embarrassment. This was a bit beyond the scope of his knowledge.
Who is Liu Bei?
I’ve never heard of this person before!
Knowing that generals are all one-sided, Cao Cao rolled his eyes at him dissatisfied and turned his eyes to Guo Jia, but the latter's face was also a bit ugly.
Even though Guo Jia was extremely smart and traveled all over the country and visited many places, he couldn't remember it for a while.
I really don’t blame everyone for being ignorant, but Liu Bei’s power is too small at this time.
Yes, we all met at Hulao Pass, but the army at that time consisted of 30 people, so we couldn’t remember it at all.
Even if Liu Guanzhang had a fight with Lu Bu, he didn't win, so there's nothing worth bragging about.
Wu Anguo fought against Lu Bu by himself, and in the end he escaped unscathed. To be more powerful, Wu Anguo was the one who fought against him.
Besides, Liu Bei is just a plain-looking man at the moment. To us losers, he is a blue-sky master.
But in the eyes of Cao Cao and others, to put it bluntly, he was really just an insignificant official with little influence.
Think about it, maybe Liu Bei's reputation at that time was not as good as the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army: the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army were famous.
Jia Xu rubbed his beard and asked Yu Jin: "General, what did Liu Bei look like at that time?"
Yu Jin became energetic again, shaking his hands and saying.
"I don't know about anything else. They all have strange looks. Liu Bei has big ears and his arms are as long as a gorilla.
There were three of them, except the coal-burner.
There was another person with a big red face and a beard three feet long. He had a solemn expression and looked very fierce.
I was just hungry at that time, otherwise I would have to teach his three brothers how to behave.
You don’t know, I was almost..."
Hearing the big red face and the coal burner, Guo Jia folded his hands and smiled and said: "Thank you, general, for reminding me. I already know who Liu Bei is."
At that moment, Guo Jia revealed Liu Bei's identity in detail.
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao curled his lips slightly with disdain: "This, when you say it, it sounds familiar."
He held up the letter in his hand, threw it on the ground, and sneered.
"Even cats and dogs dare to come to persuade us to make peace. If anyone comes, I will kill the envoy and continue to attack the city tomorrow."
