Chapter 24

Liu Yu sighed inwardly.

Just now, none of his subordinates had made a sound; Liu Bei was indeed exceptionally courageous.

Liu Bei had no reason to refuse. These people could just drift along,

but he couldn't!

Without support, he could only rely on himself, so he had to make a name for himself and expand his strength as quickly as possible!

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu could raise tens of thousands of men with a wave of their arms and control a province,

and Cao Cao's relatives could bring thousands of soldiers to join him at will, even outsiders like Xu Zhu could bring over a thousand men from the Xu family village!

Liu Bei couldn't compare; these powerful clans and noble families wouldn't join him, so he could only try his best to gather those military generals and strategists who were not of high birth.

He had to close the gap caused by birth as quickly as possible!

Liu Yu laughed.

"Xuande, I will send the Bandit-Breaking Commandant Zou Jing to lead troops with you to rescue Qingzhou."

Liu Bei knew Zou Jing; he was a mutual friend of his and Gongsun Zan's, and had previously served as the County Magistrate of Zhuoxian, treating the former Liu Bei quite well.

At this time, Zou Jing was suppressing rebels in the Yuyang Commandery area, with over four thousand soldiers.

Liu Bei left the Inspector's mansion and headed straight for the military camp, announcing that they would march tomorrow to fight a war!

Zhang Fei yelled excitedly,

"Big Brother, we're finally going to fight! I was bored to death!"

Guan Yu was also filled with battle intent; clearly, one Cheng Yuanzhi wasn't enough for him to hack at!

Liu Bei nodded.

"Our destination is Qingzhou, but first we will go to Yuyang Commandery to rendezvous with Zou Jing. I want to go see an old friend."

Zhang Fei gossiped,

"Big Brother, it wouldn't be an old lover, would it? The two sisters-in-law might get angry!"

Bai Yuekui... she was already too lazy to explain.

Liu Bei laughed.

"It is my former classmate, the Commandant of Surrendered Captives, Gongsun Bo'gui."

Guan Yu stroked his beard.

"Big Brother, this Gongsun Zan is quite remarkable now, shaking the lands beyond the frontier with his might. His White Horse Followers have made the Hu Ren tremble with fear."

Zhang Fei snorted.

"My Big Brother broke fifty thousand Huang Jin rebels; he is also very amazing!"

He had now become Liu Bei's fanboy, quite protective of his Big Brother.
