Whether he can successfully defeat Gongsun Zan and occupy Youzhou depends on how his trip to Xuzhou goes and how he talks with Liu Bei.

Xuzhou went to Tancheng, the capital of Xiapi, and Liu Bei was sitting in the palace of the city lord. Behind him was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Chen Deng Mi Zhu and even Kong Rong were present.

There are only a few officials remaining in the seats.

Those officials, including Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Chen Qun, Yuan Huan and others, were all recruited by Liu Bei using his status as the governor of Yuzhou, and they are Liu Bei's current circle of confidants.

The officials left behind by Tao Qian, except Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, were all excluded because most of them were Yellow Turban generals and had no bottom line in their work.

What everyone is discussing right now is a former Tao Qian's confidant general who is now causing chaos in Xuzhou and causing Liu Bei a lot of trouble.

Some people said bitterly: "This Bi Rong has made us miserable!"

Chen Deng said: "Chang Wen, now that Quan Rong has fled to Yangzhou, we can only make up for it."

Chen Qun, also known as Changwen, followed Liu Bei after he was conquered by Liu Bei and appointed as a surname in Yuzhou.

But Chen Qun has been in a bad mood recently, because he has always opposed Liu Bei's leadership of Xuzhou. As a result, Liu Bei started an uprising with Chen Deng and Mi Zhu without telling him a while ago, and took Xuzhou from Tao Qian without bloodshed, which made Chen Qun very uncomfortable.

.

In Chen Qun's view, Liu Bei has no ability to keep Xuzhou now!

Everyone wants to take a bite of this place in Xuzhou, because this place is so important!

Cao Cao has already attacked twice, and Yuan Shu is also ready to make a move. In a short period of time, Liu Bei cannot digest the Danyang soldier faction left by Tao Qian.

Especially when Liu Bei went to Qingzhou to rescue Tian Kai, he was defeated by Yuan Jun. More than half of his soldiers were killed or injured. As a result, his control over Xuzhou became even weaker!

The house leaked and it rained all night. Quan Rong, who was left behind by Tao Qian, began to act like a monster and caused a lot of trouble in Xuzhou.

Quan Rong, who once served as the state minister of Xiapi State, was responsible for the collection of money and grain from the three counties of Guangling, Xiapi and Pengcheng. This was equivalent to controlling half of Xuzhou's fiscal revenue.

Originally, these revenues were to be sent to Tancheng, the seat of the Xuzhou government, for the use of the people of Xuzhou, but Quan Rong kept it privately and used the money to build temples and hold Buddha bathing ceremonies, just to hold wine and banquets on the roadside.

The cost should be calculated in hundreds of millions.

In the past, Taoism flourished in Xuzhou because of the Yellow Turbans, but Buddhism flourished from the time of Zuo Rong. It can be said that Zuo Ronghe played an extremely important role in promoting the prosperity of Buddhism in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

As a result, the custom of worshiping Buddha in Xuzhou became increasingly popular, and Zuo Rong gained an excellent reputation among the gentry and common people.

Wool comes from sheep, so Bi Rong's money came quickly and he spent it quickly, so he made crooked ideas.

When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Zuo Rong led more than 10,000 men and women under his command to escape and went south to Guangling County. Zhao Yu, the governor of Guangling County, heard about Zuo Rong's reputation and treated him as a distinguished guest.

But Zuo Rong saw that Guangling County was prosperous and prosperous, so at a banquet, he killed Zhao Yu in the name of toasting, led his soldiers to kill, burn, and plunder, and then went south to Moling to join Xue Li.

Xue Li was originally the prime minister of Pengcheng State under Tao Qian. Knowing that Zuo Rong had a good reputation, he also treated Zuo Rong as a distinguished guest.

But now the news came that Zhe Rong used the same method to kill Xue Li too!
