Chapter 149

"That's it?"

"Isn't Ding Yuan Shao the leader of the alliance? His face was rubbed into the ground by the Big-Eared Thief! The Big-Eared Thief even just threw one iron spear!"

"It's just Brother Gongsun Zan attacking Bohai Commandery; what a waste!"

Li Ru sighed.

"My Lord, after this incident, Liu Bei's prestige has surpassed Ding Yuan Shao's, and he has also made a statement to the world: whoever touches his people, no matter who they are, he will absolutely not stand idly by..."

Dong Zhuo felt miserable in his heart. Once upon a time, he was also this overbearing; now...

"Bring wine!"

Li Ru sighed to himself.

The livestream chat also had more comments.

"This Dong Zhuo is finished!"

"Dancing, drinking—this life is not bad!"

"Dong Zhuo must have been beaten into autism by the Big-Eared Thief!"

Li Jue cupped his fists.

"Military Advisor, should we report the fact that Xun You was rescued to my Lord?"

Li Ru glanced at Dong Zhuo, who was drinking and making merry.

"No rush to say it; my Lord is not in the mood to listen right now."

Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci led troops to continue north with the Zhen family.

Guan Yu and Xu Shu remained at the border of Hedong and Henei to continue absorbing refugees and guarding against Ding Yuan Shao and the Black Mountain bandits.

Liu Bei led his personal guards to Anyi City in Hedong.

"Lord Liu Xuande, thank you for saving my life!"

Xun You cupped his fists and bowed deeply!

Liu Bei took a few quick steps and helped Xun You up.

"Xun Gongda is loyal and righteous; you didn't fear danger to assassinate Dong Zhuo. I admire you very much."

He looked at the thirty-something Xun You before him; his body was thin, and his appearance was somewhat haggard.

Xun You was not as famous as Xun Yu in history, but he was better at flexible and ever-changing tactics and military strategies.

It could be said that Xun Yu focused mainly on strategy, while Xun You focused on tactics.

The brilliant plan to flood Xiapi City, the plan to behead Yan Zhang Liang and Wen Chou, advising Cao Cao to attack Hebei first, and the countless brilliant plans in the Battle of Guandu!

These were Xun You's main performances.

Xun You felt ashamed.

"Lord Liu Xuande is the hero of the Great Han; I was just imitating him poorly. I was discovered and imprisoned by Dong Zhuo before I could even assassinate him."

"Wu Qiong died miserably, He Yong committed suicide, Zhong Ji fled. If it weren't for you, Lord Liu Xuande, I fear I wouldn't have made it out alive."

Liu Bei shook his head.

"Brother Xun Gongda, that is not so. Assassinating Dong Zhuo lies in the heart, not the result. In Chang'an, there were so many people, yet only you few gave up your official positions and dared to assassinate the Dong thief!"

Xun You was moved to tears; he didn't expect Liu Bei, who shook the world, to think so highly of him.

"Lord Liu Xuande is too kind..."

"Lord Liu Xuande, saving me cost several brothers their lives."

Liu Bei nodded and said in a deep voice,

"Xun Gongda, rest assured. These are all righteous men; I will treat their families well, provide them with land, and raise their children and parents."

"Thank you, Lord Liu Xuande; I will also contribute my share when the time comes."

Liu Bei cupped his fists and bowed.

"I have long heard of Xun Gongda's great talent. Bing Province is in ruins, and there are over a million people to settle. I would like to invite Xun Gongda to be my Bing Province Administrator."

The Administrator was a subordinate official of the Governor, in charge of documents and files, and handled affairs within the government; his status was higher than that of a Commandery Governor.

Xun You hurriedly bowed even deeper.

"My Lord, this subordinate will devote his life to you from now on!"

Liu Bei laughed heartily and helped Xu You up.

"Good. I'm happy today; let's not return until we are drunk!"

"Du Ji, you too!"

"Yes, my Lord!"

Liu Bei drank all the officials of Anyi under the table and returned to the back courtyard.

Bai Yuekui flashed out.

"Captain, how good is this Xun Xun Gongda that you directly sacrificed several good men and spent quite a bit of money to bribe people?"

Liu Bei laughed.

"Slightly lower than Guo Jia, higher than Xu Shu. You tell me if it's worth it?"

Bai Yuekui's eyes lit up.

"That's indeed quite worth it!"

Liu Bei looked at her.

"You actually led the team yourself this time; you weren't injured, were you?"

"It's nothing; I didn't enter the city and waited outside Chang'an."

Bai Yuekui didn't care.

"What's the big deal? Thanks for your concern!"

Liu Bei suddenly approached Bai Yuekui and reached out to wrap his arm around her waist.

"Thanks? How do you plan to thank me?"

Bai Yuekui felt Liu Bei's breath on her neck, and her face instantly turned red.

"Captain, you're drunk..."

Liu Bei chuckled.

"Wine doesn't intoxicate people; people intoxicate themselves. Do you know why?"

Bai Yuekui bit her lip, and her neck turned red.

"The ghost knows you; let go of me quickly."

Liu Bei was so strong that she inevitably couldn't break free!

"Woo!~"

Soon,

The livestream screen went black.

Only Hua Hua Mulan remained in Jinyang City, seriously looking at documents.

"Damn, Big-Eared Thief, take your dirty hands off!"

"My Bai Yuekui, you should draw your sword!"

"You're stupid; Bai Yuekui was already stunned by Liu Bei."

"That's right, Bai Yuekui got so many benefits from Liu Bei; haven't you seen her getting younger and more beautiful? It's time for the Big-Eared Thief to close the net."

"Scumbag!"

Bai Yuekui's eyes were red, and she punched Liu Bei.

Liu Bei hugged her in his arms.

"The three of us broke into the late Han period alone; we should have supported each other. Isn't it better now?"

..... ..... 0

Bai Yuekui snorted.

"You have all the twisted logic!"

She sighed at length; things were already like this, so let it be!

"I won't become one of your backyard women."
