Capítulo 424: Chapter 400: Reassessing Jizhou

Tao Qian did not hold out for much longer, seeing Liu Bei successfully take over the entirety of Xuzhou. A few days later, he passed away in his sleep without waking. Liu Bei personally announced the death and during Tao Qian's funeral, he warned the Xuzhou aristocratic family that should any harm come to Tao Qian's two sons, they would surely pay the price.

As for this matter, the Xuzhou aristocratic family also tacitly acknowledged it, seeking peace rather than opposition to the upper echelons.

Afterward, Chen Xi and the others did not overly provoke the Xuzhou aristocratic family; they only publicly elaborated on the need to deal with the problem of the Xuzhou soldiers. In this regard, the Xuzhou aristocratic family had no power to refuse, nor was it suitable for them to do so.

Liu Bei had already made concessions in the previous matters, and if the military power was to be diminished as well, then Liu Bei would certainly turn hostile without any mercy.
