Guo Jia had always given everyone the impression of a sick ghost. Who would have thought that he was really a genius?
Liu Bei's expression turned serious as he looked at Guo Jia.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had little contact with Guo Jia, also revealed expressions of admiration.
Dian Wei and Zhao Yun knew how powerful Guo Jia was, so they only nodded slightly.
Guan Hai couldn't help but ask,"Advisor Jun, how did you know that the envoy was from Tao Qian of Xu Prefecture?"”
Guo Jia smiled and turned to the city gate official."Go and invite the envoy into the residence!"
Then, he turned to Liu Shan with a questioning look in his eyes.
Liu Shan couldn't bear to see others acting cool in front of him. He cursed in his heart,"What are you acting for? I've seen the Three Kingdoms before."
"Don't keep me in suspense. There's only one reason why Tao Qian sent someone. It's because of Cao Cao and Cao Mengde!"”
Guo Jia clapped his hands and shouted,"As expected of the person I, Guo Jia, have taken a fancy to. My lord's words hit the nail on the head!"”
How did Liu Shan know? Under the surprised gazes of the others, Guo Jia began to tell the story of Cao Mengde and Tao Qian's love and killing.
Ever since Cao Cao had taken Yanzhou, his strength had expanded by more than ten times. He had to return to his hometown for wealth. Cao Cao did not have time to return to his hometown, but he asked someone to bring his father to Yanzhou to see his son's might.
Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was rich and overbearing. He had pulled dozens of carts of gold, silver, and jewelry, and there were more than a hundred boxes of money.
Cao Song couldn't be blamed for being so ostentatious. After all, his son was awesome!
Not many people in the Central Plains dared to provoke Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou.
Furthermore, Mount Tai's Governor, Ying Shao, had sent hundreds of soldiers to protect them. It would be good enough if ordinary bandits did not rob them, let alone rob them.
Unfortunately, there were some outlaws in this world. When Cao Song passed by Tao Qian's territory in Xu Province, he was quickly targeted.
When they arrived at Yinping, the local soldiers had the courage to rob Cao Song of his belongings.
Not only that, he even killed Cao Song.
The news quickly reached Cao Cao's ears. He was furious. His father had been killed. How could he tolerate this?
With the principle of looking for whoever was killed in his territory, Cao Cao calmly sent a letter to Tao Qian to ask for details.
Tao Qian received the letter and directly sent the messenger back. He even gloated,"Your Cao Cao's father is dead, and it's not my Tao Qian's father who is dead. What does it have to do with me?”
Later generations were deceived by the image of Tao Qian as a good old man in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. What was the real Tao Qian like?
During Dong Zhuo's reign, Tao Qian was the governor of Xu Prefecture. As a minister of the Han Dynasty, he did not participate in the alliance of the 18 vassals to attack Dong Zhuo.
Why didn't Tao Qian participate? Because he was very ambitious!
If Yuan Shao and the others were seen as first-class ambitious people, Tao Qian's ambition could be considered second-class.
He was waiting for the eighteen feudal vassals and Dong Zhuo to suffer heavy losses before he launched his final charge and plucked the greatest fruit.
Just as he had expected, although the 18 dukes won, they did not win and ended up disbanding.
Thus, Tao Qian welcomed an opportunity. He elected Zhu Jun, who had rebelled against Dong Zhuo, as the Grand Preceptor and sent a message to the various state governors, inviting them to join forces in the crusade.
Not only that, he also had to welcome the emperor.
Cao Cao was not the one who invented the idea of using the Son of Heaven to command the vassals. Tao Qian had long gotten tired of it.
Therefore, how could an ambitious person like Tao Qian allow an ambitious person like Cao Cao to exist on the border of Xuzhou?!
Thus, the two families started fighting. Unfortunately, Tao Qian's Xu Prefecture army was useless and was beaten up by Cao Cao.
Thus, he thought of Liu Bei from Pingyuan County. The most important thing was that he valued Liu Bei's son, the number one boorish man in the world, Liu Shan.
After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, everyone knew the cause and effect.
"Big brother, what should we do?" Guan Yu stroked his long beard. Are we going to Xuzhou or not? If he went, he would have to face Cao Cao. If he didn't go, he really couldn't afford to raise these 10,000 soldiers!”
Liu Bei was also in a difficult position. Cao Cao's strength had increased tremendously recently, and he did not want to face him so soon.
Guo Jia looked at Liu Shan with a smile and said,"My lord, make a decision!"
Liu Shan sneered." Since we intend to conquer the world, we will have to pass Cao Cao's test sooner or later. Xuzhou is the most important place in the Central Plains, and Danyang is the most famous source of soldiers in the world. Why don't we take it?"!”
Liu Bei sighed and said,"Tao Zhou Mu is a loyal elder. I can't bear it!" Once Cao Cao is defeated, I, Liu Bei, will definitely withdraw from Xuzhou and never meddle in it.”
Liu Shan rolled his eyes and thought,'This father is really good at pretending. I don't know how excited he is at this moment!'
He ignored the sighing Liu Bei and said to the crowd,""It's easy to invite a god but difficult to send one away. Immediately gather the army. After we meet the messenger, we will enter Xu Prefecture and meet that Cao Aman. From now on, Xu Prefecture will be surnamed Liu again!”
