Chapter 140

Zhao Yun sighed in admiration.

"I was curious before why the lord built so many houses; so that was it. The lord is far-sighted; I admire him extremely!"

Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Jia Kui, Hao Zhao, Wang Ling, Han Hao, and others all marveled at Liu Bei's foresight!

"Following such a lord, the future is limitless!"

Bai Yuekui and Hua Mulan looked at each other and truly admired Liu Bei.

"The captain actually thought of this; we are truly not as good as him."

Bai Yuekui was depressed.

"Every day I see him chatting with Lady Cai and the others; I didn't expect that he already had so many plans in his heart!"

"He can become the captain; it seems it is truly a manifestation of his strength!"

Hua Mulan secretly admired him; the captain had already risen to the strategic level!

Liu Bei waved his hand.

"Military Advisor, you flatter me. Actually, I just felt that Dong Zhuo was unrighteous and that the Guandong warlords would also fight among themselves in the future; I just wanted to gather refugees in the Hedong and Bingzhou areas."

Everyone praised him again.

"The lord's benevolent heart makes us admire him."

"The lord takes precautions; it makes us admire him."

Liu Bei didn't expect that building a refugee camp would actually earn the sincere admiration of his subordinates.

The Xia Kingdom audience in the live broadcast room also discussed it one after another.

"That eared thief actually has such foresight?"

"I don't believe Dong Zhuo will move the capital; Luoyang has a million people and so many buildings and wealth!"

"I just want to see the daily life of that eared thief with Lady Zou, Lady Gan, and Cai Yan!"

"Nineteen warlords with over three hundred thousand troops; I don't believe they can't break Luoyang City!"

Liu Bei looked at Guo Jia.

"Military Advisor, for this alliance, what suggestions do you have? How many troops should I bring?"

Guo Jia paused.

"My lord, for this alliance, the warlords will test and observe each other. Our army should not perform too well, nor too poorly."

"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are from a family of four generations and three dukes, but they like to be jealous of others. My lord, do not bring more troops than these two."

Liu Bei nodded; the Yuan family's hereditary red-eye disease had also been seen by Guo Jia!

"Secondly, this alliance will not have much of a result. My lord, it is best to bring all cavalry. If you encounter duels or pursuit of remnants, you can take the initiative to take them on."

"If you encounter attacks on passes or strong cities, my lord, you can use the excuse that you have few troops and they are all cavalry!"

Liu Bei praised him greatly; that is, push away all the dirty and tiring work, but for things that show strength and increase fame, you must fight to do them!

Everyone secretly admired him in their hearts; this Guo Jia could simply be called a genius!

Zhang Fei laughed out loud.

"Military Advisor, fortunately, you are following my big brother. If you were following someone else, I, old Zhang, would definitely be the first to chop you; you have too many tricks, I can't even count them!"

Guo Jia 'thanked' Zhang Fei for his praise!

Liu Bei stood up.

"Good, for this alliance, I will bring fifteen thousand cavalry. Yunchang, Yide, and Zilong will go into battle with me!"

"Understood!"

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun's eyes all lit up; there were battles to be fought!

"Gao Shun, you sit in Hedong, arrange for those surrendered troops to build houses for the winter, build pontoon bridges, and be ready at any time to receive the people of Luoyang across the Yellow River."

"Gongming, assist him!"

"Understood!"

"Hao Zhao, I appoint you to garrison Yanmen Commandery alone. Do you have confidence?"

The young Hao Zhao knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice,

"My lord, rest assured, I will swear to guard Yanmen to the death!"

"Good!"

"Wang Ling, guard Xihe Commandery."

"Military Advisor, Bai Yuekui, and Hua Mulan, stay in Taiyuan and be responsible for the coordination of the entire Bingzhou."

"Han Hao, be responsible for the Tuntian affairs of Taiyuan Commandery."

"Understood!"

The others went down to prepare.

Liu Bei kept Gao Shun and Xu Huang.

"Your task is very important. Dong Zhuo is driving the people of Luoyang; we need to quickly build many pontoon bridges to receive the people of Luoyang across the river, and at the same time, guard against attacks by the Xiliang iron cavalry."

Both expressed that they would certainly do their utmost!

Xu Huang cupped his hands.

"My lord cares for the people; this is a great kindness!"

Liu Bei let the two go down to prepare first.

He returned to the backyard.

Cai Yan already knew the news that he was going on an expedition, and her eyes were moist.

Liu Bei took Cai Yan into his arms.

"My lady, since we got married, I have been fighting everywhere, and we have been together less and apart more. Please do not blame me."
