Chapter 200

Everyone soon returned to the city, and naturally, wine and dishes were arranged. 2

Liu Bei soon became familiar with everyone. 2

Ju Shou raised his cup. 0

"Lord Xuande, I truly admire you. Sending troops thousands of miles, stabbing Dong Zhuo, defeating Lu Bu, rescuing the people of Luoyang—every single thing makes my heart yearn for it."

Liu Bei drank a few cups with Ju Shou. He truly took a fancy to this Ju Shou.

Capable of both civil and military affairs, he could be said to be the top-tier strategist in the Hebei provinces.

He advised Yuan Shao to welcome the Han Emperor, but Yuan Shao did not follow.

He advised Yuan Shao not to let his youngest son manage the best Jizhou, but Yuan Shao did not listen.

He advised Yuan Shao to rely on Hebei's advantages to fight a protracted war and drag Cao Cao to death, but Yuan Shao still did not listen!

He advised Yuan Shao again to protect the grain in Wuchao, but Yuan Shao did not accept it!

Yuan Shao always managed to find the wrong answer from a pile of correct ones; there was no one else like him!

It was truly impossible to carry Yuan Shao, this guy. In the end, he achieved a name for loyalty and was beheaded by Cao Cao!

Moreover, Ju Shou could also govern the locality and lead troops to fight. Except for his martial arts being a bit weak, he was simply an all-around talent.

Ju Shou also took a fancy to Liu Bei. Let alone the mediocre lord Han Fu, even Yuan Shao, that alliance leader, was far behind compared to Liu Bei!

Zhang Fei, however, grabbed Zhang He to compete in martial arts, naturally beating Zhang He very miserably.

Zhang He competed with Zhao Yun again, and it was another miserable defeat.

Zhang Fei put his arm around Zhang He's shoulder.

"My Big Brother is the most capable of fighting. Now I am completely no match for Big Brother."

Zhang He saw Liu Bei chatting and laughing with Ju Shou, and admiration rose in his heart.

"Lord Xuande is loyal, courageous, and benevolent; absolutely a wise lord!"

Liu Bei also stood up and came over to drink with Zhang He.

"Junyi, I just watched your martial arts competition. If you had gone to the alliance, you would definitely have become famous throughout the world."

Zhang He hurriedly bowed with cupped hands.

"Lord Xuande flatters me. Today's competition made me realize that there is a heaven beyond heaven."

Liu Bei laughed heartily and helped Zhang He up.

"Junyi is too modest."

Zhang He was indeed stunned.

Just now he deliberately wanted to test Liu Bei's strength, but was helped up by Liu Bei easily.

That is to say, Liu Bei's strength was much greater than his!

"No wonder he could send Lu Bu flying with one iron hammer!"

Zhang He cupped his hands.

"Lord Xuande, your prestige shakes the Nine Provinces. You cleverly used wonderful schemes to break the Xiliang soldiers, defeated Lu Bu, and rescued the commoners. I have always admired you deeply!"

Liu Bei smiled.

"Good, then we must not return until we are drunk today!"

Zhang He was excited. Liu Bei was already the Inspector of Bingzhou and a hero of the world, yet he still looked favorably upon him, a mere Military Sima, and was courteous to the wise.

Ju Shou watched from the side and nodded secretly. Lord Xuande has the demeanor of a wise lord.

Although this Zhang He was only a Military Sima, after getting along, Ju Shou could see that Zhang He had the demeanor of a famous general and would be of great use in the future.

I didn't expect Liu Bei to see it as soon as he arrived. He truly has the ability of Gao Zu to recognize talent! Yi. ===== CHAPTER 201 =====
