While Liu Feng beheaded Li Dian in Jinan County, Sun Ce also captured Runan County.

Without the guards of Sun Jian and Sun Ce, Yangzhou was quickly defeated by the coalition forces of Cao Cao and Liu Biao.

According to the agreement between Cao Cao and Liu Biao when they formed an alliance, Cao Cao and Liu Biao divided the six counties of Yangzhou equally.

Among them, Cao Cao occupied the three counties of Wu, Danyang and Kuaiji, while Liu Biao controlled the three counties of Jiujiang, Lujiang and Yuzhang.

After Liu Feng captured Qingzhou, it was naturally impossible to continue sending troops to attack other places. The army needed to rest and regroup, and Liu Feng also needed to stabilize the regime in Qingzhou.

After all, although Qingzhou is a relatively small state among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, it only has two counties and sixty-five counties in four countries.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. As a state, Qingzhou, like other states, has a complicated official network.

Although at this time Cao Cao had abandoned Qingzhou and moved to Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and his direct officials and troops also moved away with him.

However, after Cao Cao's long-term rule, there must be many officials in Qingzhou. Although they are not direct descendants of Cao Cao, they were inevitably promoted by Cao Cao.

In this case, they are likely to be grateful to Cao Cao. Even if Cao Cao retreats without taking them with him, they may still regard themselves as Cao Cao's subordinates.

So if Liu Feng and his army were in Qingzhou, these Qingzhou officials who were secretly loyal to Cao Cao might be restrained, but once Liu Feng left, without the deterrence of the army, they would most likely rebel.

Therefore, what Liu Feng has to do at this time is to temporarily stop the conquest of other states and counties, find out those who oppose Liu Feng in Qingzhou, and stabilize the power of Qingzhou.

After having the goal and plan, Liu Feng stayed in Jinan County, and Taishi Ci led the Youzhou army to complete the work.

A few days later, Taishi Ci came to report that a scribe had been found in Dongpingling City, Jinan County. Although this man was in Qingzhou, he claimed to be one of Liu Bei's men.

Taishi Ci saw that this man was very popular and spoke confidently and openly, so he believed what he said.

However, since this person was not Cao Cao's subordinate, but was under house arrest by Cao Cao in Qingzhou, Taishi Ci didn't know how to deal with it, so he came to report Liu Feng.

After listening to Tai Shici's description, Liu Feng immediately thought of a person in his mind, so he decided to go to Dongpingling City to meet this person in person.

So Taishi Ci naturally brought Liu Feng to this man's residence.

In a rather luxurious house, Liu Feng met this scholar with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.

This person was Xu Shu who was under house arrest in Qingzhou by Cao Cao.

Although Xu Shu was resentful towards Cao Cao and vowed to pretend to be crazy and act like a fool and never do anything else after surrendering to Cao Cao, he had no grudge against Liu Feng.

Not only did Xu Shu have no grudge against Liu Feng, but he also had a good impression of Liu Feng because Liu Feng repeatedly killed foreigners and protected the people on the border.

At this time, Liu Feng led the Youzhou army to attack Qingzhou, and it was no longer a secret that Cao Cao abandoned Qingzhou and went south to Yangzhou.

And since Qingzhou has now completely fallen into Liu Feng's hands, the young man appearing in front of him surrounded by stars like the moon must be the famous Side by Side King Liu Feng.

And he was put under house arrest by Cao Cao in Qingzhou. He thought he would spend his whole life in the depression of resisting Cao Cao and being unable to use his wisdom, but he never thought that he would have a chance to escape from Cao Cao's control.

And all of this was given by King Liu Feng.

After confirming Liu Feng's identity, Xu Shu stepped forward, bowed to God Liu Feng, and then said:"I am Xu Shu of Yingchuan. I have heard about the name of King Bingjian for a long time. I am lucky enough to meet him today. I would like to ask King Bingjian for his advice."

After Liu Feng heard Xu Shu's words, he understood clearly and knew that his guess was correct. This person was indeed Xu Shu who had not said a word since entering Cao's camp.

So he smiled and said:"It turns out that Mr. Xu Shu is Xu Yuanzhi, whom I have admired for a long time.

I have often heard Feng Xiao talk about Mr. Feng Xiao, saying that he is a genius in the world. When I saw him today, he was indeed an extraordinary person."

Xu Shu and Guo Jia were both from Yingchuan Academy. students, and both of them came from poor families. They were relatively familiar with each other and had a good relationship.

However, Guo Jia never mentioned Xu Shu in front of Liu Feng. Liu Feng moved Guo Jia out at this time just to bring the relationship closer between the two.

Sure enough, Xu Shu heard Liu Feng's compliment and hurriedly said:"Your Majesty, please don't believe the false praise of being a filial piety. The talent of a common man is not enough to be a filial piety. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not be under house arrest in Qingzhou and unable to escape."

However, Cao Cao couldn't escape. But he said:"I have already known why Sir was imprisoned by Cao Cao.

Speaking of which, it is not Sir's fault. It can only be that Cao Cao was too insidious and cunning and used Xu's mother as a threat. Even if Sir knew it was a trap, he had no choice but to do so. Jump in.

But this is enough to prove your filial piety.

Therefore, although you were caught by Cao Cao, you won the respect of the world. In my opinion, you did not lose."

Xu Shu said with a wry smile:"Even so, and What can I do?

After all, I was captured by Cao Cao, and even betrayed my lord Liu Bei and was forced to join Cao Cao's army.

After all, I was a surrender, but Cao Cao was driven to Xuzhou by King Bingjian, but he did not surrender. Bringing a concubine with him means that the concubine is not trusted in his heart. In this big world, I am afraid there is no place for a concubine anymore."

Liu Feng said:"I wonder what you think of Cao Cao, sir? Are you willing to serve Cao Cao?"

Xu Shu He said:"Although I, Xu Shu, was forced to surrender to Cao Cao, I secretly swore that I would never conspire for Cao Cao. I only have one lord in my heart, and that is Duke Xuande." After listening to Xu

Shu's words, Liu Feng took the opportunity to ask,"In that case , then Sir, you won’t blame me for driving Cao Cao out of Qingzhou, right?"

Xu Shu was full of resentment towards Cao Cao, and hurriedly said:"What are you saying, Your Majesty, you defeated Cao Cao’s thieves and rescued me from Cao Cao’s hands, how could I do this? Do I blame you?"

Liu Feng laughed and said,"In that case, how are you going to repay me, sir?

I wonder if you, sir, are willing to submit to me and end this troubled world with me?"

Xu Shu heard Liu Feng's words. Invited, after thinking for a moment, he said to Liu Feng:"The king's literary and military skills are unparalleled in the world, and like Xuande Gong, he is a member of the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, the king was personally named the King of Side by Side by the late emperor. You can It is said that you are the closest to the orthodox vassal king, so I am willing to surrender to you.

But I have a request. If the king agrees, I will definitely assist you with all my strength."

Liu Feng said:"As long as it does not violate loyalty, Yuan Zhi can speak."

Xu Shu He replied:"Xuan Degong is the old master of the concubine. I hope that the king will not send the concubine to deal with Xuande Gong."

Liu Feng laughed and then said:"Yuan Zhi is a true righteous man, so I naturally agree."
