Chapter 0240 Tao Qian’s panic, Liu Bei’s advice, Qiao Rui’s uneasiness!!!
Xuzhou, Tancheng.
The night was as dark as ink, and the mansion of Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian was brightly lit.
The servants in the mansion were busy.
They were more careful than usual because the atmosphere in the mansion was unusually heavy.
Tao Qian sat upright in the main seat, his face full of shock, shock, and disbelief.
The wine glass tightly held in his hand was shaking slightly because of excessive force.
His eyes swept across the people in the hall, and finally fell on Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
These three people have been in Xuzhou for some time, and Tao Qian is well aware of their talents.
Moreover, they have been to Chang’an City and met the great general Gu Chang’an.
At this moment, he hopes more than ever that they can give him advice.
“The general’s ingenious idea is unbelievable. He dared to launch a surprise attack on Shouchun, capture Yuan Shu’s family, and seize Yuzhou and Yangzhou!”
Tao Qian’s voice was trembling and a little shocked.
“”Everyone, in this situation, where should my Xuzhou go!”
Liu Bei sat in the guest seat, his brows furrowed, his eyes deep.
He had witnessed Gu Chang’an’s war potential.
He also admired Gu Chang’an’s great achievements in fighting against 300 elite soldiers alone and attacking Yizhou.
But he didn’t expect that it would not be long before
Gu Chang’an attacked Shouchun again and did such a big thing.
For Xuzhou, it is indeed in a very embarrassing situation.
Whether it is Yuzhou or Yangzhou, it can be said that Xuzhou is half surrounded on both sides, and Xuzhou is on the sea.
It can be said that it has completely lost its strategic depth.
Gu Chang’an took Yuzhou and Yangzhou, and the threat to Xuzhou was too great.
In the hall, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu and others looked at each other, with an unbelievable look on their faces.
Cao Bao stood up suddenly and shouted:”My lord, there is no need to worry too much. If the enemy comes, we will stop him and cover him with earth. As long as Gu Chang’an dares to come and invade Xuzhou, he will never return!”
Liu Bei was speechless.
He, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other. They all saw contempt for Cao Bao in each other’s eyes.
They thought, what kind of person are you, Cao Bao, to dare to compare yourself with Gu Changan.
This is a typical case of ignorance and fearlessness.
However, as a guest army, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could not say anything.
“General Cao, please be patient!”
Liu Bei waved his hand and was happy for Cao Bao to sit down.
“After the general captured Yuzhou and Yangzhou!”
“This is indeed not a good thing for us in Xuzhou. Now Xuzhou is under attack from both sides!”
“But I don’t think the general will attack Xuzhou right away. I’m afraid Jingzhou is more dangerous than us!”
“Liu Yan and Yuan Shu’s families were not destroyed, so maybe Lord Tao could consider it!”
Cao Bao was furious after hearing this.
He stared at Liu Bei directly:”Liu Xuande, what do you mean?”
“Are you trying to persuade my master to surrender to Gu Chang’an?”
Guan Yu heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:”Cao Bao, don’t be rude to my brother!”
“My brother is just suggesting, everything will be decided by Lord Tao!”
Zhang Fei also stood up and shouted:”Cao Bao, if it weren’t for Lord Tao!”
“”I, Zhang Yide, will definitely chop off your head!”
Seeing this, Tao Qian couldn’t help feeling annoyed.
He stood up and said excitedly:”Now that a disaster is imminent, you all should stop arguing!”
“Let’s think of other countermeasures!”
Liu Bei pondered for a moment and slowly said:”The general is completely different from Dong Zhuo!”
“During the two rebellions in Guanzhong, although the property was confiscated, the whole family was not wiped out!”
“Those who were beheaded in the end were nothing but the main culprits!”
“Liu Yan and Yuan Shu can prove that the general is a tolerant person!”
“But everything depends on Mr. Tao and your own consideration!”
“As long as we in Xuzhou are united, we will not be afraid even if the general is powerful!”
At this time, Wang Lang stood up, coughed lightly, and said slowly.
“My lord, Gu Changan’s move has undoubtedly pushed Xuzhou into a desperate situation!”
“However, instead of worrying about what happens later, it is better to think about what would happen if Gu Changan launched a surprise attack on Xuzhou!”
“Whether we can resist or not, we must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!”
Zhao Yu also nodded and echoed:”Jing Xing, what you said is absolutely right!”
“Gu Changan’s surprise attack on Shouchun was successful this time, who knows if he will also launch a surprise attack on our Xuzhou!”
“We must be on high alert and not slack off at all!”
Tao Qian listened to everyone’s discussions and opinions, and his worries were slightly reduced.
Whether it was Liu Bei or his advisers and generals, they could only provide him with suggestions.
In the end, Tao Qian himself was the one who made the final decision.
He decided to think about it carefully before making a plan.
After the banquet,
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei rode on tall horses.
They headed towards Xiaopei and let the horses move forward slowly.
“Brother, I think Mr. Tao may have decided to leave. What should we do next?”
Guan Yu suddenly asked.
“Alas!”
Liu Bei sighed.
“It was all because of my greed before that I ruined the future of my two brothers!”
“We should have stayed when the general invited us!”
Zhang Fei glared and said loudly.
“What are you talking about, big brother? We three brothers do not ask to be born on the same day, month and year, but only to die on the same day, month and year!”
Guan Yu was also displeased:”Big brother, don’t say such things again in the future!”
“Anyway, wherever Big Brother goes, we will follow!”
Liu Bei sighed in his heart, he stroked the horse under him.
This horse was given by Gu Chang’an.
He was thinking a lot in his heart, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say…
Yangzhou, Shouchun.
Qiao Rui was very uneasy.
General Gu Chang’an invited him to a banquet alone.
This made Qiao Rui very uneasy.
Qiao Rui had never really dealt with Gu Chang’an.
In the battle of Nanyang County, facing Gu Chang’an’s subordinates, Gao Shun, Dian Wei and Ma Chao.
He can be said to have returned in a disastrous defeat.
But this was only an indirect contact, and he didn’t know much about General Gu Chang’an.
The first time they met was in Yuan Shu’s mansion.
Now Yuan Shu has been sent to Chang’an City.
Yuzhou and Yangzhou were also completely taken down by Gu Chang’an.
They were originally counselors and generals under Yuan Shu. They have been a little trembling during this period of time.
I don’t know why General Gu Chang’an invited him to a banquet today.
But he remembered a rumor.
General Gu Chang’an is beautiful!
And he has two daughters with national beauty!
