Three Kingdoms: I have a job transfer palace

On the Jizhou side, Yuan Shao was horrified when he learned that Liu Feng had sent nearly 60,000 troops to attack him, and hurriedly organized an army to resist.

Regarding Liu Feng's actions, Yuan Shao jumped in anger, but he was also very helpless.

After all, Liu Feng was attacking him with the slogan of revenge for Gongsun Zan, and he sent mainly Baima Yicong and the Youzhou army with Zhao Yun as the commander.

At least morally, he had no way to refute Liu Feng.

Yuan Shao was very scared when he learned that Liu Feng had sent more than 50,000 troops to march towards Jizhou.

After all, he had personally seen the combat effectiveness of Liu Feng's troops. Whether as an ally during the crusade against Dong Zhuo or as an opponent in the Battle of Jieqiao, Yuan Shao was deeply impressed.

When the princes attacked Dong, facing the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry led by Lu Bu, Yuan Shao was very lucky that he had an ally like Liu Feng on his side who could withstand the charge of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

However, in the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, when Liu Feng became his opponent, Yuan Shao deeply felt Lu Bu's despair when facing the Red Blood Dragon Rider.

In addition to the Red Blood Dragon Riders, the Dragon Warrior Soldiers also left a very deep impression on Yuan Shao.

They were both heavy infantrymen. The eight hundred heavy infantrymen that Qu Yi climbed up in front of the dead soldier were killed instantly in just one encounter with the Red Blood Dragon Cavalry.

The dragon warriors, on the other hand, formed a formation and charged among their tens of thousands of troops. No matter the cavalry, infantry, or even the archers, they could not hurt the dragon warriors at all.

Such a strong contrast made Yuan Shao fearful of Liu Feng's armies. Both armies only had 3,000 men. If the number had been larger, he might not have been able to escape at that time.

When he heard that Liu Feng had sent a total of 56,000 troops at this time, he felt extremely desperate.

However, scouts later found out that among the 56,000 troops, only 3,000 were Longwu soldiers from Liu Feng's headquarters, and another 3,000 were white-horse followers led by Zhao Yun.

And the main army of 50,000 people are just ordinary Youzhou soldiers.

This news made Yuan Shao relieved.

After all, although there were many people, there were only three thousand dragon warriors that he could not resist. As for Baima Yicong, in his opinion, he was just a defeated general, and he could just leave it to Qu Yi to resist.

And the 50,000 Youzhou army is not worth mentioning.

So Yuan Shao sent his generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou as commanders, together with generals such as Qu Yi and Zhang He, and Shen Pei and Guo Tu as counselors to resist.

However, facing the powerful Youzhou army, Yuan Shao's troops still lost more than they won.

Especially when Qu Yi faced Baima Yicong and wanted to defeat his opponent again in the same way, he found that Baima Yicong seemed to have changed into a different unit.

Their bows and arrows can also penetrate the defenses of heavy infantry, and their armor can also block the shots of advanced warriors.

Baima Yicong hated Qu Yi and his soldiers who had died first. They defeated him on the boundary bridge that day and shot his old lord Sun Zan to death.

At this time, they thanked Liu Feng for the transformation he had brought to them, and spread all their anger on the Xiandenshi. They killed all eight hundred Xiandenshi with the weapons in their hands.

Even Qu Yi was stabbed in the arm by Zhao Yun, dropped his weapon and ran away.

In the rest of the battle, Dian Wei also showed his prowess, fighting Zhang He and Gao Lan alone against two, and slashed them both.

Liu Feng's army had the advantage in the battle in Jizhou, and the victory in the battle in Xuzhou was about to be decided.

Facing Cao Cao's army, which was mainly composed of Qingzhou elite soldiers, Tao Qian, who was old and frail, showed his defeat from the beginning.

Although the Xuzhou defenders were mainly composed of Tao Qian's Danyang elite troops, they were unable to withstand the attack of Cao Cao's Yanzhou army due to long sparse battle formations.

With the successive defeats in battles, Tao Qian was already in poor health, and now he was even worse. He was so angry that he couldn't even get sick.

Fortunately, Liu Bei, who was desperate at this time, brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei brothers to Xuzhou to seek refuge with Tao Qian.

With the addition of the three Liu Bei men, especially the peerless military generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Xuzhou, which was originally on the verge of collapse, finally managed to withstand Cao Cao's attack.

Cao Cao, who had been having a very smooth war before, suddenly felt in trouble due to the addition of Guan Yu and others.

However, he admired Guan Yu even more.

During this period, Tao Qian had been bedridden. He knew that Xuzhou had not been lost for so long only because of the defense of the three Liu Bei brothers.

Although Tao Qian is old, he has a very vicious eye for recognizing people after living for such a long time.

He could tell at a glance that Liu Bei was a dragon and a phoenix among men. He was just a dragon swimming in the shallows at the moment, but he would surely soar into the sky in the future.

His two sons, Tao Ying and Tao Shang, were incompetent in culture and military affairs. If he hadn't been Xuzhou Mu, they might not even be able to eat.

If he died and Liu Bei left Xuzhou feeling hopeless, his two sons and Xuzhou, which he had run for many years, would definitely encounter Cao Cao's murderous hands.

Thinking of Cao Cao's previous massacre of local people when he conquered Beihai, Langya and other places, Tao Qian was worried that if Liu Bei left his two sons, they would be killed by Cao Cao.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Tao Qian decided to pass Xuzhou Mu's position to Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei was determined not to accept Tao Qian's gift.

However, Tao Qian knew that the reason Liu Bei chose to come to Xuzhou at this time was to take the opportunity to control Xuzhou.

If he really transferred the position of Xuzhou Mu to his son, although Liu Bei would not say anything, he would definitely try his best to take the position of Xuzhou Mu away in the future.

In this case, Tao Qian decided to pass the position of Zhou Mu to Liu Bei no matter what, and in order to prevent Liu Bei from becoming suspicious of Tao Shang and Tao Ying in the future, he also asked them to leave Xuzhou as soon as possible.

Therefore, Tao Qian later proposed twice that Liu Bei should serve as the pastor of Xuzhou.

Finally, when he brought it up for the third time, Tao Qian's condition worsened, and he said to Liu Bei:"Mr. Xuande, I, Tao Qian, have lived an upright life. The only thing I'm sorry for is the people of Xuzhou.

I know that these two dogs are definitely not state herders." If Duke Xuande doesn’t agree, wouldn’t he be pushing me, the people of Xuzhou, into a pit of fire?

If Duke Xuande doesn’t agree today, I will bang my head against the wall and die!"

Liu Bei saw Tao Qian’s words and said this. For his sake, he finally stopped refusing and accepted the position of Xuzhou Mu.

When Tao Qian saw that Liu Bei finally agreed to be the pastor of Xuzhou, he laughed three times and then passed away.

After Tao Qian's death, Liu Bei took over Xuzhou, which boosted Xuzhou's military morale to a certain extent and initially used Tao Qian's death to defeat Cao's army in one go.

However, as the battle continued, the Xuzhou army was unable to completely expel Cao's army from Xuzhou for a long time, and its morale began to decline.
