Chapter 250

Lu Bu was furious. Although he didn't like Liu Bei, Liu Bei had taken his daughter and was far away from him, so there was no conflict of interest, and there was no need to do this.

"Chen Deng and his son? Very good, Gongtai, think of a way to lure them out!"

"Understood!" Chen Gong's spirit was greatly boosted!

At the same time, Ding Yuan Shao personally crusaded against Youzhou, but learned that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun had led troops out of Yanmen to gather people in the Shanggu and Dai commanderies,

and he was naturally furious, sending Gao Lan and Wen Chou to attack, but they were defeated by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun instead.

He just let Gao Lan and Wen Chou guard the city and focused on dealing with Brother Gongsun Zan,

"Wait until I occupy Youzhou, big-eared thief, you just wait for me!"

Bashu, Shu Commandery,

"My lord, Liu Bei is a wolf; do not let him enter Shu!"

Huang Quan tried his best to persuade him.

Yizhou Attendant Wang Lei also advised,

"My lord, Liu Bei's prestige shakes the nine provinces, and he occupies the land of three commanderies. The next step is to take my Bashu."

Liu Zhang was somewhat irritable,

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"Zhang Lu, Yong Kai, and Meng Huo, who of you can deal with them?!"

"Zhang Lu sent troops to attack Ba Commandery, Yong Kai is about to reach Yuexi Commandery, Pang Xi is tail-heavy, Li Yi is relying on his troops to be arrogant—what do you want me to do?"

Huang Quan and Wang Lei had no way either.

Attendant Zhang Song shook his head secretly. Given the situation, what else could they do? Welcome a wise lord into Shu!

He hadn't been sent to Cao Cao yet, but in his heart, he had already identified Liu Bei as the wise lord; only Liu Bei could stabilize the situation in Shu.

Zhang Song cupped his hands,

"My lord, Huang Quan and Wang Lei are short-sighted and villainous. Lord Liu Xuande helped Liu Biao quell Zhang Han Xian's rebellion last year and also repelled Sun Ce. Can he replace Liu Biao, or occupy one of Liu Biao's cities?!"

Huang Quan couldn't say that Liu Zhang was not as good as Liu Biao; wasn't that a slap in Liu Zhang's face!

Liu Zhang's eyes lit up,

"Zhang Song is absolutely right. Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness are spread throughout the world, and he is my Liu family brother. How could he plot against my foundation!"

Huang Quan and Wang Lei cursed Zhang Song,

"Betraying the lord for glory!"

Zhang Song naturally cursed back at them!

Liu Zhang patted the table,

"Alright, this time Liu Bei only brought twelve thousand troops, and I have over a hundred thousand soldiers. Do you look down on me that much?!"

Liu Zhang was not a fool; he wanted Liu Bei to help him quell the chaos, but he was also guarding against Liu Bei. He wanted to be the operator, but he had a misunderstanding of his own ability...

It could only be said that Liu Bei's reputation was too good, making Taking Xuzhou and Jingzhou refuse, and Yizhou probably thought the same.

"I have made up my mind. Zhang Song, you take three thousand troops to welcome Lord Liu Xuande!"

"Understood!"

Liu Bei borrowed one hundred ships from Liu Biao, spent a lot of money to collect dozens of cargo ships in Nanjun, recruited sailors, and had Gan Ning's three thousand water soldiers control the ships, going up the river to Bashu.

After sailing for several days,

Gan Ning shouted outside,

"My lord, we have reached Xiling Gorge."

Liu Bei led everyone out of the cabin of the tower ship.

On both sides, the walls stood a thousand fathoms high, the shadows of the mountains and the calls of apes, the waves were rolling and the water was urgent, and the mountain mist lingered, bringing a feeling of refreshment.

Behind them, a hundred boats competed, piercing through the vast fog in the river, and hundreds of ships marched majestically.

It turned out that Jingzhou merchants heard that Liu Bei was entering Shu and hurriedly drove their ships to follow, going to Shu to do some business.

Pang Tong, Wei Yan, and Huang Zhong, these Jingzhou people, were fine,

but Guo Jia, Sun Tao Qian, and Sun Jian Yong were somewhat seasick, their faces pale.

Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci, and Fa Zheng, however, looked normal; several of them were quite adapted to sitting on a boat.

Gan Ning was like a family treasure,

"My lord, after passing Xiling Gorge, it is Wuxia and Qutang Gorge, after which we can dock at Yufu to rest..."

As he spoke, tears welled up in Gan Ning's eyes,

"Since we were defeated by Liu Zhang, we haven't been home for several years. I don't know if my relatives in my hometown are still alive."

He cupped his hands fiercely,

"If it weren't for the lord, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for me to come back in this life."

Liu Bei patted him on the shoulder,

"Gan Xingba is now a General of the Wild, and must return home in glory!"

Gan Ning was full of hot tears,

"My greatest achievement is following the lord. The lord's name shakes the nine provinces, and everyone naturally envies me!"

After another difficult voyage,

the army arrived at Yufu.

Liu Bei let the soldiers rest, but they were not allowed to disturb the people!

The people of Yufu were originally frightened by the arriving army, but seeing that the soldiers did not commit any crimes, and asking, they learned it was Lord Liu Xuande's army, and their hearts were at ease.

"So it's Lord Liu Xuande's army, no wonder the military discipline is so good!"

"Yes, Lord Liu Xuande's benevolence and righteousness are spread throughout the world!"

Liu Bei led Guo Jia and the others to walk on the streets of Yufu.

Guo Jia's eyes lit up,

"My lord, the women here have fair skin, are very spirited, all look so beautiful, and are bold!"

Many had already thrown flirtatious glances at Liu Bei!

No other reason, Liu Bei is handsome!

Liu Bei laughed,

"Guo Fengxiao, it seems you don't understand the principle of not entering Shu when young!"

Pang Tong:?

"My lord, isn't it that Shu is too leisurely, grinding away the fighting spirit?"

Guo Jia waved his hand,

"Pang Shiyuan is superficial. I think the lord's understanding is more correct: the gentle village is the hero's grave!"

Pang Tong:?? Could it be that I am really superficial?
