Chapter 114: Ding Yuan Shao: This Zhen Mi is not bad

"Uncle, that Liu Bei is bullying people too much!"

Gao Gan cried and ran to Ding Yuan Shao to complain. There was no help for it; he couldn't beat Liu Bei, so he could only find a backer.

"It was clearly me who proposed to the Zhen family first. Liu Bei is shameless!"

"This Liu Bei, just after snatching Second Uncle's Beauty Feng, is now making a move on me! Hateful!"

Gao Gan was born into the Gao clan, a prominent family in Chen Liu, and had ambition but no talent!

Ding Yuan Shao was also annoyed. Gao Gan taking a daughter of the Zhen family was something he supported, as it would tie the Zhen family to his war chariot.

However, he couldn't bring himself to fall out with Liu Bei over this matter.

The most important thing at the moment was to control Jizhou and defend against Brother Gongsun Zan externally, so he had to send this Liu Bei away quickly!

He looked at the strategists around him.

"You all speak, how should this be handled?"

Xu You spoke first.

"Lord, Liu Bei is full of strategies. I didn't expect that after going to the Zhen mansion for a drink, he would reverse this matter!"

"Lord, we must find a way to take the Zhen family back."

Guo Tu observed Ding Yuan Shao's expression and, seeing his heavy look, knew Ding Yuan Shao's thoughts.

"Brother Brother Ziyuan, that is incorrect. Liu Bei is a fierce tiger; how can he allow others to touch the woman he has set his eyes on?"

"Moreover, Liu Bei only took Zhen Zhen Jiang. Most of the Zhen family's industries are still in Jizhou. Lord, by appointing Zhen Yan as an official, you have already gained the Zhen family's support."

Gao Gan was anxious.

"Uncle, it cannot end like this."

Ding Yuan Shao still quite liked this nephew and glanced at Guo Tu.

Guo Tu understood in a second.

"Young Master Yuancai, don't be anxious. The best-looking one in the Zhen family is not Zhen Zhen Jiang, but her sister, Zhen Mi."

"The other daughters of the Zhen family are already married. Zhen Zhen Jiang only remained until now because her fiancé suddenly passed away."

Gao Gan's eyes lit up.

That's right, that Zhen Mi is even better looking. In a few years, she will definitely be the most beautiful woman in all of Hebei!

Ding Yuan Shao, however, thought to himself: Since Zhen Mi is so beautiful, why let his nephew have the benefit? Wouldn't it be better for his own son?

It would be better if the Zhen family remained in his own hands.

In Liu Bei's military camp,

Ju Shou cupped his hands.

"Lord, by taking Zhen Zhen Jiang this time, Gao Gan will definitely be unconvinced, and Ding Yuan Shao may not stop either."

"What does Gongyu say?"

"Lord, the most beautiful one in the Zhen family is the youngest daughter, Zhen Mi. She once had the Zhen family open their granaries to help refugees and is a famous talented woman in Hebei."

"Ding Yuan Shao and Gao Gan failed in their plot for Zhen Zhen Jiang this time, so they will definitely wait a few years to take Zhen Mi. Perhaps Ding Yuan Shao will have his son take her, and thus the Zhen family will be tied to his war chariot again."

Liu Bei secretly praised Ju Shou. He was indeed meticulous in his thinking and had great talent. In history, it was indeed Ding Yuan Xi who married Zhen Mi.

Zhang Fei was startled and shouted,

"Big Brother, this won't do. The Zhen family is wealthy enough to rival a nation. We can't let Ding Yuan Shao get this benefit. You might as well marry Zhen Mi too!"

"Big Brother, I noticed long ago that the little girl's eyes flicker when she looks at you. She definitely has feelings for you!"

Liu Bei?? Zhang Fei's eyes were big; his observation shouldn't be wrong.

Xu Shu cupped his hands.

"Lord, Zhang Yide's words are rough but the logic is sound. It should be so!"

Liu Bei smiled.

"No matter. Your worries are very correct. I have already discussed it with the old lady. Zhen Mi will go to Taiyuan with us, let her learn from my wife Cai Yan, and incidentally manage the Zhen family's business in Bing Province."

Ju Shou and Xu Shu bowed in succession.

"Lord is far-sighted. Your subordinates truly admire you!"

The livestream was filled with complaints.

"The Big-Eared Thief is clearly plotting benefits for himself!"

"Yes, I really can't watch anymore. So sour!"

"The main wife, Lady Cai, is even being used by him as a wingman. This is truly unimaginable in modern times!"

"The Big-Eared Thief's reasons are always so impossible to refuse!"

"Zhen Mi is managing her own dowry, right? I've already separated from my wall!"

Three days later,

Liu Bei married Zhen Zhen Jiang, and all the famous gentry in Jizhou came.

Shen Pei, Tian Feng, the Geng family, the Li clan, the Zhang clan, the Xin family, and so on.

Ding Yuan Shao naturally came to attend as well. He sighed with emotion,

"Liu Xuande, thinking back, Meng De and I attended your wedding with Cai Yan in Luoyang. Now Meng De is in Dongjun, and you will soon return to Bing Province. Sigh, we are all going our separate ways."

Liu Bei's mouth twitched. This Alliance Leader Ding Yuan was implying something again, so he quickly left!

Liu Bei, considering the gift money, smiled.

"Brother Benchu, although I am also reluctant to part with you, I have to go back tomorrow. I've been away from home for too long."

Finally, he was leaving!

Ding Yuan Shao was naturally very happy and drank frequently with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei got these representatives of the Jizhou families dead drunk, which could be considered getting familiar with everyone.

Tian Feng sighed with emotion.

"General Liu Xuande's prestige spreads far and wide. Ju Shou is willing to go to Bing Province; he must have made a great determination."

Liu Bei smiled.

"Brother Yuanhao, Gongyu and I have compatible personalities and hit it off immediately. I am very gratified that he is willing to go to Bing Province!"

There were many famous scholars in Hebei. It wasn't that Liu Bei didn't want to recruit more, but in ancient times, it was hard to leave one's homeland, and few people were willing to leave their native place to join others.

Ding Yuan Shao was able to get the Yingchuan and Hebei gentry to join him because his ancestral home was in Runan and he occupied Jizhou and other places.

Cao Cao got the Yingchuan strategist group because Cao Cao occupied the Central Plains and had known these people since childhood.

Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou, and from that time on, he began to get famous scholars from Jingzhou to join him one after another.

Social circles, groups of friends and relatives, and native land—these were not things that could be abandoned just like that.

This was why Liu Bei was currently recruiting more poor scholars or those from families that had fallen on hard times.

Liu Bei took Ju Shou's hand, poured him several bowls of wine, and said sincerely,

"I am truly happy that Gongyu can help me. I will definitely not disgrace your talent."

Ju Shou was moved to tears.

"Lord."

Late at night,

The guests had mostly dispersed.

Liu Bei came to the backyard.

Zhen Mi was chatting with Zhen Zhen Jiang, and the two seemed to be talking about something and laughed happily.

Liu Bei stepped into the room and looked at the two.

Zhen Zhen Jiang was delicate and charming, and wearing her bridal outfit made her even more eye-catching and alluring.

Zhen Mi was naturally beautiful and stunning!

"Brother-in-law, you've only just arrived. Sister has been waiting anxiously."

Zhen Zhen Jiang blushed even more.

"Little sister, don't talk nonsense! When have I been waiting anxiously!"

Liu Bei smiled.

"It was I who was waiting anxiously, but there was no help for it; I had to send off the guests. My wife, please don't blame me."

Zhen Zhen Jiang bowed slightly.

"My husband naturally puts important matters first."

The two soon completed the ceremony.

The livestream comments increased a lot.
