"Sigh..."

Upon hearing that Su Li, who had suppressed the Huang Jin with him in Yecheng that day, had become the Administrator of Changshan, Liu Bei let out a faint sigh.

He felt that compared to Su Li, the difference between them was like heaven and earth.

He estimated that next time they met.

He wouldn't even dare to call Su Li "Brother Su" anymore; he would have to address him as "my lord."

Zhang Fei noticed the gloom in Liu Bei's heart and suggested, "Big Brother, we killed countless Huang Jin in Yecheng and performed great meritorious service, yet because we offended a small Eunuch, we only ended up with the position of County Captain. We have no real power and are restricted at every turn."

"In my opinion, this County Captain position isn't worth keeping!"

Liu Bei's gaze sank as he looked at Guan Yu: "Yunchang, what do you think?"

Guan Yu's expression remained unchanged. As usual, he habitually stroked his beautiful beard and said slowly, "The third brother is right. Big Brother, with your talent, serving as a mere County Captain is truly a waste of your abilities!"

Seeing that both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei shared the same sentiment, Liu Bei fell into deep thought: "I was once a classmate with the White Horse General Gongsun Zan; we are very good brothers."

"Brother Gongsun recently sent word that Zhang Chun and Zhang Chun of Youzhou have colluded with the Hu people to launch a rebellion, and he has invited us to go and suppress it."

"Why don't we three brothers go and join him, serving the country while honing ourselves!"

"I will listen to Big Brother."

"Me too!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded at Liu Bei.

With their talents, remaining to guard a single county was truly too stifling.

Liu Bei finally decided to abandon his post and leave.

When the Commandery Inspector learned that Liu Bei had dared to abandon his post voluntarily, he was furious: "Rebellion! This is rebellion! A mere County Captain actually dares to leave without notice!"

"Men, follow me to arrest him and bring him to justice!"

Abandoning a post is not a small matter, as it can be defined as contempt for the Emperor's grace.

But it is not a large matter either.

After all, during the Eastern Han period, official positions could be bought with money; if you abandon a post, the imperial court would be more than happy.

But perhaps the Inspector was in a bad mood today and insisted on making a mountain out of a molehill, immediately gathering troops to pursue Liu Bei.

However.

Let alone a small Inspector like him, even if a Commandery Administrator came, they wouldn't be able to easily arrest Liu Bei.

The result was obvious.

Whether it was the Inspector or the troops he brought, they were all defeated by Liu Bei and his men.

The Inspector was even tied up by Zhang Fei and whipped one hundred times.

He was almost beaten to death.

It was Liu Bei who hurriedly stopped him: "Yide, do not beat him to death, otherwise it will damage our reputation."

Zhang Fei then let the Inspector go.

To be honest, Liu, Guan, and Zhang all had the temperament of outlaws in the early stages; drifting from place to place, they didn't have much of a burden.

In this day and age, beating an official to death was nothing; it could easily be blamed on bandits.

While Liu Bei was on his way to join Gongsun Zan.

Su Li had already returned to Bai Yun City, placing the captured Xiliang warhorses into the upgraded horse ranch of Bai Yun City for animal husbandry.

A full twenty thousand plus Xiliang warhorses!

It was enough to form a powerful Crimson Blood Cavalry.

During this period, Su Li also shared some resources with Mu Qingqing.

That beautiful player was overjoyed.

She was so excited she almost offered herself to him.

Soon.

The imperial court's official appointment documents and official seal for Su Li as the Administrator of Changshan arrived.

The former Administrator of Changshan, Deng Song, was transferred to the imperial court.

"When I first heard the great name of Lord Su, I knew that Lord Su was no mere fish in a pond."

"I was not wrong, though I did not expect that you would be the one to replace me."

When the former Administrator of Changshan, Deng Song, saw Su Li again, he felt a bit of nostalgia.

Who could have imagined that Su Li would replace his position so quickly.

Hearing Deng Song say this, Su Li felt a bit embarrassed and could only cup his hands in flattery: "Lord Deng, going to the imperial court to serve is also a step up in your career."

Deng Song shook his head: "Luoyang City is full of turmoil and every step is fraught with danger; it is better to stay in Changshan and enjoy peace in a corner."
