Unexpectedly, Zhang Chang, a former figurehead of the Yellow Scarf, hacked to death Cao Song's family for money, and Cao Cao wanted to wash Xuzhou to avenge his father. After Tao Qian lost and Liu Bei saved him, Tao Qian tried several times to give way to Liu Xuande because of his virtue. Until Tao Qian was dying, Liu Beifang was in charge of Xuzhou for three times.

In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Tao Qian once intended to cede Xuzhou to Liu Xuande, but it was also entrusted by his deathbed at most once. However, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei gave way to the rear of Tao Gongzu three times and became a shepherd in Xuzhou under the persuasion of the generals and the demands of the people.

Is it necessary for fortune tellers to "bang", choose an auspicious day and fast for three days to smoke and change clothes? I went to Wollongong to pay homage to Zhuge Liang.

Before Kong Ming went out of the stronghold, he was known to have three points in the world. Because of Liu Bei's kindness, he went out of Longzhong to help him establish the foundation of three-point world.
