Chapter 119

"Lord, I received news that the wealthy Mi Zhu of Taking Xuzhou also intends to go to Bing Province and wants to marry his sister Mi Zhen to Liu Bei."

Cao Cao??

"The Zhen family of Hebei, the Mi family of Taking Xuzhou—the world's greatest merchants—actually both think highly of Liu Bei!"

Cao Cao was "Versailles-ed" by Liu Bei, who was far away in Bing Province!

"Actually both think highly of Liu Bei!"

Xun Yu bowed.

"Lord, but in general, Liu Bei's foundation is too shallow. Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan Shao are both strong enemies, and the space for development around him is limited, unlike our army, where Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and the nearby Taking Xuzhou and Yang Province are all densely populated areas."

Cao Cao laughed loudly and stood up tall.

"Good, we will focus on development now and completely control Yanzhou first."

"Lord is wise!"

Captain America and Hawkeye exchanged glances. They didn't expect that Liu Bei, whom they didn't think highly of at the beginning, would be so powerful!

"Is this Liu Bei really a contestant?"

The livestream comments of various countries also increased a lot.

"Listening to Xun Yu's analysis, the Big-Eared Thief is truly awesome!"

"Yes, if I had the Big-Eared Thief's background, I would at most be a general now."

"However, the Big-Eared Thief's screen is still black at this time. Too much!"

"Cao Cao is truly sour. He loves both beauties and generals!"

After everyone went down,

Cao Cao kept Xiahou Ding Yuan alone.

"Miaocai, you send someone to do something for me."

"Please instruct me, Lord."

Cao Cao hesitated to speak.

"He Jin was very good to me in the past. When I was down on my luck, he recruited me as a Dianjun Captain. He has great kindness to me."

"I heard that his son He Han Xian fell into the Yellow River and died miserably during the last retreat from Luoyang."

Xiahou Ding Yuan was a bit puzzled.

"Lord, do you want me to find someone to set up a monument for him?"

Cao Cao waved his hand.

"Someone has already done that. This He Han Xian had previously arranged a marriage with the Yin family of Luoyang. She should be in Jinyang now. You call someone to help me bring her over. I want to treat her well to repay He Jin's kindness."

Ten thousand horses galloped through Xiahou Ding Yuan's heart, and he thought to himself,

"Lord, if I didn't know that this Lady Yin has the name of the number one beauty in Luoyang, I would have almost believed it..."

Cao Cao??

"Miaocai, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I'll send someone to handle it immediately!"

The livestream comments exploded instantly.

"Boss Cao, your way of repaying kindness is truly a bit special!"

"Lady Yin must be as beautiful as a flower!"

"She is actually in the Big-Eared Thief's territory, so it must be very dangerous. Cao Cao needs to speed up!"

"Boss Cao is anxious. Having been snatched by Liu Bei to collect so many stamps first, he's anxious!"

Jinyang City, Taiyuan Academy,

Liu Bei brought Guo Jia, Ju Shou, and others over.

Liu Bei cupped his hands.

"Father-in-law, this academy is run very well. You've worked hard."

Cai Yong was a bit proud.

"It's also thanks to your help, Liu Xuande. This time we were able to find Brother Brother Wenjie to help, and brought two thousand scrolls of books from Jizhou. It's truly not bad!"

Han Fu cupped his hands.

"I want to thank Liu Xuande for giving me this opportunity; otherwise, I wouldn't dare to think about it."

Liu Bei repeatedly said it was Han Fu who took care of him and helped a lot.

In history, this Han Fu was indeed very miserable.

After Ding Yuan Shao took Jizhou, Han Fu's eldest son had his legs broken by gentry who wanted to curry favor with Ding Yuan Shao.

Afterward, Han Fu fled to Zhang Miao's place, terrified day and night. Hearing that Ding Yuan Shao's envoy had arrived, he committed suicide in the latrine with a small knife used for carving characters.

Liu Bei asked,

"Gongyu, how is this Taiyuan Academy?"

Ju Shou bowed deeply.

"Lord is far-sighted. Establishing the Taiyuan Academy to produce talent continuously is a great plan!"

Ju Shou truly admired him. Ding Yuan Shao and these people were still living off their old capital and had no long-term considerations, but the Lord had already established a foundation and built the root.

Liu Bei laughed loudly.

"Gongyu, I like this flattery of yours!"

He looked at Cai Yong.

"Father-in-law, have any young talents emerged in the academy recently? Let them come over to meet me."

Cai Yong nodded and sent someone to find them.

Very soon,

Several teenagers walked over.

"Teacher."

Cai Yong smiled and pointed at Liu Bei.

"This is the hero Liu Liu Xuande you discuss every day, my son-in-law!"

Several students were startled and quickly bowed.

"Guo Huai of Taiyuan."

"Wuqiu Sun Jian of Hedong."

"Pei Tao Qian of Hedong."

"Wang Can of Shanyang Commandery."

"Military Sima Zhi of Henei Commandery."

"Greetings, General Liu Xuande."

Liu Bei was stunned. The first four were true talents.

Guo Huai and Wuqiu Sun Jian were both famous generals, Pei Tao Qian was a veteran of three dynasties of the Wei state, and Wang Can was one of the Seven Scholars of Sun Jian'an.

Liu Bei encouraged them a few words and told them to come to work for him after graduating next year, which made them excited!

Cai Yong said sourly,

"Good son-in-law, you dug away so many of my excellent students as soon as you arrived. What do you want me to do?"

Liu Bei laughed loudly.

"Father-in-law, isn't the reason you cultivate them so they can benefit one side and have the opportunity to display their talents? Wouldn't it be better if you cultivate new talents next year?"

"I will increase the supply to the academy and give rewards to excellent students so they can focus more on reading."

As a modern person, Liu Bei attached great importance to education.

Cai Yong was then satisfied.

"Report~!"

"Lord, Minister Lu's motorcade is already twenty miles outside Jinyang City."

Cai Yong smiled.

"Ziguan has finally arrived. I'm going to drink enough with him tonight!"

Liu Bei smiled.

"Everyone, how about following me to the city to welcome Master Lu?"

"That is exactly what I wish."
