Chapter 245

"Old General Huang Zhong and Gan Ning pursued Xia Hou Dun, shot and killed the Cao general Li Dian, and also shot and wounded Xia Hou Dun..."

Liu Biao's vision went black. This was the Huang Brother Hansheng who told him he had to get up six times a night and couldn't fight anymore!

"Why is everyone leaving me? Why do they look down on me so much?!"

Liu Biao felt depressed, and he was also afraid that Liu Bei would occupy Nanyang and not leave this time!

"Report~!"

A guard came to report,

"My lord, Lord Liu Xuande sent a letter asking you to send troops to take over Wan County. He has already led his troops back to Guanzhong, leaving only Taishi Ci with three thousand men to guard it."

Liu Biao nodded,

"Liu Xuande is very kind."

He opened the letter and saw,

"Hmm, Liu Xuande says this was all Zhang Xiu's rebellion and has nothing to do with me, and he even sent the letters from Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao."

"He is worried that Cao Cao will lead a large army to invade, so letting the people temporarily leave northern Nanyang is also acceptable."

Soon, Liu Biao felt he had been rash.

Besides the two hundred thousand who went south to join relatives, the other six hundred thousand people in northern Nanyang had all migrated from Wuguan to Guanzhong. He truly didn't know how many would return next year!

He couldn't even blame Liu Bei for this; it was a two-way choice. The people just didn't look favorably upon him!

Liu Biao felt congested in his heart and almost fell ill.

Cai Mao, however, had more thoughts. His brother-in-law was clearly more capable than Liu Biao and had more popular support! The future was promising!

Liu Bei watched the endless stream of people at Wuguan and felt very happy. These were all precious people; six hundred thousand people could make the Guanzhong region more prosperous.

"Since you've come, don't leave. At least for the next few years, they won't want to leave."

The livestream barrage also increased a lot,

"The big-eared thief is awesome, even the villager he found is so powerful!"

"I now believe Huang Brother Hansheng can fight for another twenty years!"

"These people are all willing to follow Liu Bei, which shows he has the hearts of the people!"

Liu Bei left Zhuge Zhang Liang, Pang Tong, Cui Cui Zhouping, and others to escort the people to continue to Guanzhong,

while he himself led his troops with light gear, taking the Cai ladies and others, and quickly returned to Chang'an City.

Back at the General of Agile Cavalry's Mansion,

Liu Bei first listened to the reports from Xun You, Ju Shou, Fa Zheng, and others, and arranged for them to immediately formulate a plan to settle the people of Nanyang Commandery.

After finishing his work, he returned to the backyard.

After three months of absence, finally returning home, it was naturally a happy reunion.

Dong Bai, Diao Chan, Beauty Feng, and Zhen Mi clamored for Liu Bei to see if they had gained weight!

Liu Bei naturally checked them one by one carefully.

Xiao Qiao's belly also had some scale. Liu Bei took her pulse and indicated that both mother and child were safe.

Xiao Qiao smiled,

"Husband, I missed you so much."

Liu Bei held her in his arms,

"Hmm, it will be better when the fetus is more stable."

Xiao Qiao's pretty face flushed red,

"What are you saying! I really missed you."

For the next ten days,

Liu Bei naturally enjoyed the massages and relaxation from his wives and concubines at home.

Such a long expedition was truly exhausting, and he needed to be well comforted.

Zou Shi, Dong Bai, Ma Ma Yunlu, and Lu Lu Lingqi formed the Bing-Zhang Liang Alliance,

Zhen Mi, Zhen Jiang, and Dong Shi formed the Jizhou Alliance,

Cai Yan, Diao Chan, and Yi Shi formed the Luoyang Gang,

and Beauty Feng, Fu Shou, Mi Zhen, Gan Shi, and Ding Yuan Shi formed the Central Plains Alliance.

They all vied for beauty, uniting to chat with Liu Bei and show off their talents.

Fu Shou didn't quite understand why Liu Bei liked to ask her and Dong Shi to chat and talk together.

Cai Shi sighed,

"It's too competitive. I thought I was enterprising and beautiful enough, but compared to this, I need to work much harder!"

Huang Yueying was arranged by Liu Bei to go to the Craftsman Bureau, leading dozens of craftsmen to overcome technical difficulties.

Liu Bei also set up a small women's school, where Cai Yan, Zhen Mi, Cai Shi, and others went to teach, and the students were the daughters of his civil and military officials.

Inside the General of Agile Cavalry's Mansion,

Liu Bei rested his head on Cai Shi's lap,

Zou Shi fed him fruit,

over there Da Qiao played the zither and Xiao Qiao played music, melodious and pleasant,

Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, and Beauty Feng danced gracefully, their figures slender and their dance steps beautiful—it was extremely beautiful.

Liu Bei sighed,

"These days are so comfortable."

The famous artists of the Three Kingdoms: the music department's Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, the dance department's Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, and Beauty Feng.

The talented women of the Three Kingdoms: Cai Yan and Huang Yueying,

as well as the famous beauties Zou Shi, Cai Shi, and Yi Shi.

And over there, the agile Lu Lu Lingqi and Ma Ma Yunlu, who were sword dancing, were all top-tier!

The livestream room was already sour to the sky,

"The big-eared thief is too happy!"

"Living these days, even if I were an emperor, I wouldn't want to change!"

"I'd be willing to lose ten years of my life to be him! But the big-eared thief!"

"This person is more Cao-like than Cao the Thief! I've already separated from my wall!"

Liu Bei enjoyed his family happiness but didn't forget his subordinates.

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge,

"Kongming, my wife has arranged for you a daughter of the Song family of Pingling, Fufeng. Empress Song of Emperor Ling came from this family. The Song family is virtuous and wise, and her family background, talent, and beauty are top-tier in Sili."

Zhuge Zhang Liang was moved,

"The lord has done so much for me and even arranged such a good marriage for his subordinate. Subordinate..."

Liu Bei laughed,

"I plan to appoint you as Governor of Fufeng Commandery. Are you willing?"

Zhuge Zhang Liang's eyes lit up, "Subordinate will definitely work hard to manage Fufeng Commandery well and wait for the lord's arrival."

He knew that the lord was about to make a move on Hanzhong.

Liu Bei nodded,

"Pay attention to the infiltration of Hanzhong, as well as the repair of the plank roads."

"Understood!"

Liu Bei looked at Gan Ning again,

"Gan Gan Xingba, I have arranged for you Ma Teng's niece. Her martial arts and appearance are both top-notch, and she is very spicy. Can you subdue her?"

Gan Ning's mouth almost split to his ears, and he laughed loudly,

"My lord, rest assured, I will definitely complete the mission!"

Liu Bei almost kicked him. What complete the mission!

"Brother Hansheng, my wife has arranged for you the Geng family of Chang'an. She has been a widow at home for two years, is twenty-eight years old, and her appearance is also extremely beautiful."

Huang Zhong was shocked,

"My lord, you arranged one for me too?!"
