陶谦见玄德仪表轩昂,语言豁达,心中大喜,便命糜竺取徐州牌印,让与玄德。玄德愕然曰:“公何意也?”谦曰:“今天下扰乱,王纲不振,公乃汉室宗亲,正宜力扶社稷。老夫年迈无能,情愿将徐州相让。公勿推辞。谦当自写表文,申奏朝廷。”玄德离席再拜曰:“刘备虽汉朝苗裔,功微德薄,为平原相犹恐不称职;今为大义,故来相助;公出此言,莫非疑刘备有吞并之心耶?若举此念,皇天不佑!”谦曰:“此老夫之实情也。”再三相让,玄德那里肯受。糜竺进曰:“今兵临城下,且当商议退敌之策。待事平之日,再当相让可也。”玄德曰:“备当遗书于曹操,劝令解和。操若不从,厮杀未迟。”于是传檄三寨,且按兵不动;遣人赍书以达曹操。 | Tao Qian was delighted with Liu Bei, admiring his high-spirited appearance and clear speech. Tao Qian bade Mi Zhu offer Liu Bei the seal and insignia of the protectorship office. But Liu Bei shrank back startled. "What does this mean?" said Liu Bei. Tao Qian said, "There is trouble on every side, and the kingly rule is no longer maintained. You, Sir, are a member of the family and eminently fitted to support them and their prerogatives. I am verging on senility, and I wish to retire in your favor. I pray you not to decline, and I will report my action to the court." Liu Bei started up from his seat and bowed before his host, saying, "Scion of the family I may be, but my merit is small and my virtue meager. I doubt my fitness even for my present post, and only a feeling of doing right sent me to your assistance. To hear such speech makes me doubt. Surely you think I came with greed in my heart. May God help me no more if I cherished such a thought!" "It is a poor old man's real sentiment," said Tao Qian. Time after time Tao Qian renewed his offer to entrust the region of Xuzhou to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei kept refusing. In the midst of this came Mi Zhu, saying, "The enemies had reached the wall, and something must be done to drive them off. The present matter could await a more tranquil time." Said Liu Bei, "I ought to write to Cao Cao to press him to raise the siege. If he refuses, we will attack forthwith." Orders were sent to the camps outside to remain quiescent till the letter could reach Cao Cao. |
