Chapter 67

Seeing Liu Bian ask about Duan Wei, Fan Chou hurriedly replied:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, General Duan Wei is currently in the Taishou Fu."

"This humble general, not wanting to continue making mistakes, led the soldiers to surrender to Your Majesty!"

"Good, General Fan has merit in offering the city; in the future, you will first go under Fengxian's command and be a deputy general."

"After you have made contributions in the future, you will be rewarded separately."

Upon hearing this, Fan Chou was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him: "This humble general thanks Your Majesty; I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please follow this humble general into the city!"

After saying this respectfully to Liu Bian, Fan Chou intended to lead Liu Bian into the city.

"Your Majesty..."

Cao Cao on the side immediately stopped Liu Bian; being suspicious by nature, he was a bit afraid that this was the enemy's trick of fake surrender.

"Your Majesty, how about Mengde and I lead the army into the city first, and Your Majesty supports us from behind?"

Lü Bu was also worried and immediately asked Liu Bian.

"Haha, my precious subjects, no need to worry; I trust General Fan!"

Seeing that Cao Cao, Lü Bu, and the others were a bit worried, Liu Bian said with a smile on his face.

After speaking, he looked at Fan Chou with confidence, his eyes full of trust in him!

Seeing that Liu Bian trusted him so much, Fan Chou was immediately moved.

"Please rest assured, my lords; since I, Fan Chou, have already decided to surrender to Your Majesty, I will absolutely not be a fickle and capricious villain!"

Fan Chou said with a grave tone and a solemn face, guaranteeing to Cao Cao, Lü Bu, and the others.

Seeing Fan Chou's solemn guarantee, Cao Cao and Lü Bu also felt a bit apologetic and explained to him:

"We ask General Fan not to be angry; we were also thinking of His Majesty's safety."

"I dare not! The two generals were also considering His Majesty's safety after all."

"Since everyone has no more questions, then let General Fan lead the way; let's enter the city and talk."

Seeing that everyone had no more questions, Liu Bian ordered the few of them.

"Your Majesty, my lords, please follow this humble general!"

Fan Chou immediately clasped his fists to Liu Bian and the others, turned around, and led the crowd toward Linjing City.

In fact, the reason Liu Bian dared to trust Fan Chou so much was mainly because he had used the Probe Eye on Fan Chou:

Name: Fan Chou

Age: 28

Realm: Second-rate Martial General

Identity: Deputy General

Talent: Earth Grade Upper Quality

Constitution: Earth Emperor Body

Technique: None

Loyalty: 90

Liu Bian also didn't expect that Fan Chou's loyalty would have already reached ninety upon his initial surrender.

So, this was the reason why Liu Bian could trust him so much.

Only to see Liu Bian and the others following behind Fan Chou, with an army of seventy thousand mighty soldiers behind them.

The military flags were fluttering in the wind, and the central army was Liu Bian's red dragon imperial flag.

The large flags of the generals around them were slightly behind, all manifesting respect for Liu Bian, the Emperor.

The soldiers were dressed in uniform armor, their steps were neat and uniform, and every step made a solid sound, as if they were announcing their arrival to the earth.

As the army advanced, the earth trembled for it.

Their aura was like a mountain collapsing and the sea overturning, making it impossible for anyone to stop them.

"Greetings, Your Majesty..."

As Liu Bian passed in front of the soldiers of Linjing City, everyone knelt on the ground neatly and shouted in unison to him.

And at this time, the people in the city, after hearing the news that Liu Bian had entered the city, also came toward the city gate one after another.

They all wanted to see the true face of Liu Bian, the Emperor who could say those words to them, the poor people, at such a time.

Presumably, he was also worthy of their loyalty.

And seeing Liu Bian, who was young, mighty, and extraordinary, surrounded by the aura of an Emperor.

In their hearts, they were even more shocked.

This was the image of a great Emperor that matched their hearts!

After seeing Liu Bian's figure, countless people couldn't help but secretly think in their hearts:

"His Majesty's temperament is truly too mighty!"

"That's right! This is the aura that an Emperor should have!"

"Presumably, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of ancient times were probably just like this!"

Countless people were deeply shocked by the aura emitted from Liu Bian.

Under Liu Bian's moving words earlier, countless people in Linjing City were already full of good feelings for this Emperor of the Han Empire.

And at this moment, when they witnessed Liu Bian in person, this good feeling was instantly transformed into deep recognition and respect.

Only to see countless people kneeling on the ground to Liu Bian one after another, so excited that they couldn't control themselves, and shouting in unison:

"We, the subjects of the Han, pay respects to Your Majesty!"

This deafening shouting seemed to want to break through the clouds and reach the nine heavens.

The crowd seemed to feel that only in this way could they express their reverence and love for Liu Bian, this Emperor of the Han Empire.

Facing such a spectacular scene, even Liu Bian couldn't help but feel a bit carried away.

After all, being able to gain the recognition of so many people manifested the majesty and glory of him, the Emperor of the Han Empire.

And those ministers of the Han Empire who followed by Liu Bian's side, such as Cao Cao and Guo Jia, all stared at him with fanatical gazes.

Their eyes revealed endless respect; this was the Emperor they were loyal to!

They witnessed the glory of this moment, and the admiration for Liu Bian in their hearts became even stronger.

As core ministers of the Empire, seeing now that the Emperor they supported had won the recognition and support of the people, the joy in their hearts was self-evident.

Liu Bian looked at the excited and fanatical crowd before him and put away the agitation in his heart.

He wrapped his voice with Innate True Qi and said loudly: "My subjects of the Han Empire, all rise!"

In an instant, Liu Bian's majestic voice rang in everyone's ears.

The gazes looking at Liu Bian also became even more awed and fanatical.

They shouted loudly one after another: "We, the subjects of the Han Empire, thank Your Majesty!"

After the crowd heard Liu Bian's words, they stood up with a clatter and stared at Liu Bian with fanatical eyes.

"Subjects of the Han Empire, what I said today, I will realize as soon as possible; after I arrange the matters in the city."

"I will have people distribute a new type of food seed to you; I call it corn."

"Although this corn does not have the high yield of ten thousand catties per mu like sweet potatoes, it can also reach a yield of one thousand catties per mu."

"Moreover, corn does not have high requirements for land, and it can also be planted in dry land."

"Everyone, rest assured, as long as the imperial court is here, from now on, there will never be a single person among the people of our Han Empire who starves to death!"

Liu Bian said sincerely with a grave face to the fanatical people.

"What! Besides sweet potatoes, His Majesty actually has corn!"

"Moreover, the yield of this corn is even one thousand catties per mu!"

"Although it is not as high as the yield of sweet potatoes, for us, it is also much higher than the yield of three or four hundred catties per mu of wheat!"

"That's right, with corn, from now on, we won't be hungry anymore!"

After hearing that Liu Bian was going to distribute corn, this type of high-yield food, to them, the onlookers were immediately boiling.

The entire scene immediately became noisy, and the crowd discussed it one after another.

This was a major matter related to everyone's livelihood, so they couldn't help but be excited.
