Chapter 138

"Big Brother, what about me?"

Liu Bei and Guan Yu both laughed.

"Yide, you won't be left out. I have arranged for you to marry Wang Yan, the younger sister of Wang Ling of the Taiyuan Wang clan. She is not only a talented woman of Taiyuan but also dances with a good spear technique!"

Zhang Fei!

"Can do literature and martial arts? This works, haha."

"Big Brother, you are too good to me!"

Zhang Fei remembered that he was just a wealthy landowner in Zhuoxian before, and now he was the Governor of Dingxiang and was going to marry the legitimate daughter of the prominent Taiyuan Wang clan; he was also exceptionally excited.

He hugged Liu Bei and cried like a big cat.

"Big Brother, I didn't follow the wrong person back then. You are too good to me!"

Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder.

"I have what I have today because of the full support of you and Yunchang. I must be good to you!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and secretly swore in their hearts that they must work even harder to repay their big brother's kindness!

"Zilong will marry the legitimate daughter of the Guanqiu family. The weddings of the three of you will be held together at that time."

There was also much more barrage in the live broadcast room.

"This little peddler alliance has finally made it."

"That's right, who would have thought that three street peddlers would now be noble inspectors and governors, and all married to the legitimate daughters of prominent families!"

"Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are of one heart with Liu Bei; they are very loyal."

"That eared thief is also very good to them. If they weren't with that eared thief, they really wouldn't have their current achievements."

"The three of them can be considered to have achieved success together."

"I'm a fan of this brotherhood!"

"Liu Bei's move also strengthened his connection with the prominent families of Bingzhou and Hedong, tying them to the same chariot."

News also came from Hedong Commandery about Zhao Yun.

Niu Fu led troops to tentatively cross the Yellow River, but all were repelled by Zhao Yun; at this time, he had already retreated to the vicinity of Chang'an.

Jinyang City,

Inspector's Office,

Guo Jia organized the gains from this time and couldn't help but exclaim.

"My lord, I used to think these Hu Ren had no profit, but now I find that the Hu Ren are truly fat!"

Liu Bei patted Guo Jia on the shoulder.

"You kid, take it easy. Women and fine wine should be in moderation; I'm still counting on you to stay with me."

Guo Jia was moved in his heart.

"My lord, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

"You know what you're doing, my foot! I've already negotiated for you to marry the youngest daughter of the Taiyuan Wen family. She is very beautiful and has a good temper; she is just right for you."

Guo Jia was somewhat doubtful.

"My lord, I heard that this Lady Wen is quite sharp-tongued."

Liu Bei laughed.

"This is the result of Cai Yan and I discussing it together. Your personality needs a relatively strong wife to keep you in check."

Guo Jia let out a miserable cry.

"My lord, I still want to be single for a few more years..."

Liu Bei waved his hand.

"No negotiation. My wife said that this Lady Wen is very beautiful; you should be secretly laughing."

Guo Jia was happy. "Really? Then that doesn't seem impossible!"

Liu Bei also arranged the marriages for Xu Huang and others, marrying them to the daughters of prominent Hedong families.

He returned to the backyard, where Cai Yan was chatting with Zou Shi and Lady Gan.

The three of them didn't know what they were chatting about, but they were laughing very happily.

"My ladies, what are you chatting about?"

Cai Yan laughed.

"We were listening to Zou Shi talk about how you managed to marry her back in Anyi City."

Liu Bei was stunned and touched his face.

"Could it not be because of your husband's handsome face?"

All three laughed, laughing until their branches trembled.

"Hehe."

"Haha."

Zou Shi gave Liu Bei a charming look, the meaning being: let's talk about it in detail later!

Lady Gan brushed her hair, revealing her snow-white swan-like neck; she seemed to want to experience the feeling of tears like rain on pear blossoms again!

Cai Yan covered her mouth and giggled, thinking that her husband was not only learned, loyal, and funny—um, his body was also good! He was simply the perfect husband!

The netizens in the live broadcast room were completely sour.

"I really can't take it anymore! Jealousy is making me fall apart!"

"Three top-tier girls! That eared thief really has dog-shit luck!"

"Zou Shi's charming look is truly too beautiful!"

"Whose card is that eared thief flipping tonight? Jealousy is making me lose control!"

"How is Lady Gan's skin so good? Do they have skincare products in ancient times... envious."

"I want to see the great talented woman looking like tears on pear blossoms; it's a pity only that eared thief can see it!"

A few days later,

Liu Bei presided over the weddings of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, which could be considered arranging for the next generation of talents.

Cai Yan and Lady Gan were both pregnant; Liu Bei would soon be a man with heirs.

The construction of the Taiyuan Academy was also almost finished; Cai Yong recruited a hundred students this time, and the scale would be expanded later.

Liu Bei also sent people to find the famous physician Hua Tuo, hoping he would take charge of the Taiyuan medical office, practicing medicine while teaching a large number of physicians to help the people.

Luoyang City,

Dong Zhuo was furious; his wound was still aching faintly.

"Liu Bei crushed the Southern Xiongnu and defeated the Western Xianbei? He snatched over a hundred thousand women, over a million head of cattle and sheep, and over a hundred thousand warhorses?!"

"How can this Liu Bei be so capable!"

"I'm so angry I could die!"

"The Xiongnu are trash, the Xianbei are trash, and Niu Fu is also trash!"

"Zhang Yan, this guy, actually refuses to attack Taiyuan. He's a bandit, and he actually says he won't follow a rebel? Bah!"

Li Ru cupped his hands.

"My lord, now that Liu Bei's subordinates have intermarried with the prominent families of Hedong and Taiyuan commanderies, his control over these places is already very firm."

Dong Zhuo kicked over the desk.

"Fengxian, my son, quickly lead the troops and go on an expedition to Hedong with me!"

"Yes, Godfather!" Lu Bu was extremely jealous of Liu Bei!

Li Ru hurriedly advised,

"My lord, you must not! Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have assembled eighteen warlords; that is our number one enemy!"

Dong Zhuo sat down indignantly.

"I was so good to them, and they all want to rebel against me. Fine, I will eliminate you one by one!"

After Liu Bei presided over the weddings of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and others, he welcomed the envoys of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

"Benchu and Mengde both invited me to the Suanzao alliance? To jointly crusade against Dong Zhuo?"

Liu Bei nodded.
