Chapter 260

Li Hui pointed to the area of Wei County south of Xuanwei County,

"Wei County is the original commandery seat of Jianning Commandery and is currently occupied by the Barbarian King Meng Huo's fiancée, Miss Zhu Rong, and her younger brother, Dai Lai Dong Zhu."

"Commerce there is extremely developed; it is the great northern gate for Nanzhong to communicate with the outside world. To take Nanzhong, we must first take Wei County."

Zhang Fei suddenly said,

"I heard Miss Zhu Rong is the number one beauty in Nanzhong; is that true?"

Li Hui nodded,

"Yes, she is not only beautiful and heroic, but her martial arts are also extraordinary!"

"Legend has it that she is a descendant of the Fire God Miss Zhu Rong clan. She uses a long spear as a weapon, carries five throwing knives on her back, and has perfect aim. She also has a fierce tiger tamed by her side!"

Liu Bei?

"There is actually a real tigress!"

Guo Jia and Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei one after another,

"My Lord/Big Brother, you have to put in the effort again!"

Liu Bei??

"We agreed on campaigning against Nanzhong; what do these two mean?"

Li Hui was puzzled.

"Does the Lord already have a way to take Wei County?"

Pang Tong laughed.

"It's just a woman, she only knows how to fight. For the Lord to take her is naturally a matter of course."

Li Hui nodded.

"Zhu Rong will naturally be no match for Lord Liu Xuande."

The live stream chat exploded.

"This newbie Li Hui clearly doesn't understand what everyone means."

"This 'take' is not that 'take'!"

"The difficulty is a bit high this time; the beauty actually has a fierce tiger by her side."

"Flirting with girls has risks; flirting with Zhu Rong is life-threatening. One careless move and you become the tiger's rations."

Pang Tong, Guo Jia, Gan Ning, and others cupped their hands one after another.

"Lord, please take Zhu Rong, and take the important stronghold of Wei County for our army."

Liu Bei sighed.

"Fine, I shall endure the hardship once."

He paused.

"If I lead a large army south, Meng Huo and the others naturally won't sit idly by; they will also lead troops to aid Wei County."

"Gan Ning, you lead your own men, disguised, and head to Wei County!"

"Understood!"

"Wei Yan, Wang Ping, you take another force and quietly approach Wei County."

"Guo Jia, Gao Shun, Taishi Ci, E Huan, you first train troops in Xuanwei to attract Zhu Rong's attention. You must make them believe our main army is still in Xuanwei."

"Understood!"

"The rest will follow me, disguised as a merchant caravan, to infiltrate the Wei County area and wait for the opportunity to act!"

"Understood!"

Dianchi County.

Yong Kai was crying his eyes out.

"Barbarian King, you must uphold justice for me! That Liu Bei is utterly shameless; he actually incited Li Hui to seize my city!"

Meng Huo was still very young at this time, but he already looked very mature—in common parlance, he looked rather aged for his years.

"Brother Yong Kai, do not worry. Liu Bei has only twenty thousand troops, while I have over a hundred thousand. I can crush him into fragments at any time!"

"He may be showing off in the Central Plains, but this is Nanzhong, my territory. He has neither the right time, the right place, nor the support of the people!"

Yong Kai had thought the same thing initially, but he had been terrified by Liu Bei in a single battle!

He tried to persuade him again, "Barbarian King, we should take advantage of Liu Bei's unstable footing and mobilize our hundred thousand troops to quickly annihilate him."

Meng Huo waved his hand.

"Brother, don't be anxious. Let me marry Zhu Rong, the number one beauty of Nanzhong, first!"

"You must drink this wedding wine; you were the one who acted as the matchmaker for the marriage, after all."

Yong Kai cursed inwardly. It wasn't because of anything else, but because Meng Huo had the power to unite the cave masters and force Zhu Rong and Bringer of Caves to submit!

"Otherwise, would Zhu Rong marry you, Meng Huo, with that big face!"

Yong Kai naturally offered his congratulations on the surface.

"I must drink this wedding wine."

He suddenly added.

"Barbarian King, you must be careful. This Liu Bei loves to snatch other people's wives; he snatched Liu Biao's intended wife and forcibly took Liu Zhang's sister-in-law!"

"Zhu Rong is the number one beauty of our Nanzhong; Liu Bei definitely has ideas."

Meng Huo was furious and slammed the table.

"If he, Liu Bei, dares to do such a thing, I will surely hack him into eight pieces!"

He thought for a moment.

"Liu Bei is currently stationed in Xuanwei. As soon as he makes a move, I will immediately assemble the army and head to Wei County!"

Meng Huo thought of Zhu Rong's face and felt delighted.

"Hehe, in ten more days, I can..."

Early morning.

The market outside Wei County.

It was already bustling with people; locals, merchants from Ba Commandery, Shu Commandery, and even Jingzhou were there shouting to sell their goods!

A merchant caravan of several dozen people arrived from the east. The leader was high-spirited, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. Even in ordinary merchant attire, he stood out, especially when compared to the round-faced man and the ugly accountant beside him!

Passionate and bold barbarian women frequently cast flirtatious glances at Liu Bei. To these girls who wanted to steal his genes, Liu Bei responded with a polite yet distant smile.

Zhang Fei sighed.

"Sigh, my big brother is just a magnet for flowers. Zhu Rong should be easy to capture!"

Liu Bei shook his head.

"Zhang Yide, we are only here to incite Zhu Rong to defect. Watch your tongue."

Zhang Fei wore an 'I understand' expression.

"Big brother, I know!"

The group walked around the market.

Liu Bei sighed.

"Commerce is indeed prosperous here. If managed well, the lives of the people will be very good."

Not long after, Pang Tong returned and cupped his hands.

"Proprietor, I've inquired. Zhu Rong is to marry the Barbarian King Meng Huo in eight days, and they are currently purchasing large quantities of Shu brocade and silk."

Liu Bei laughed.

"That's perfect. We happen to have brought so much Shu brocade and silk; we must make a big profit!"

Zhang Fei was also muttering.

"That's right, just in time. She hasn't married yet, so there's still a chance to save her."

Liu Bei kicked him!

The live stream burst into laughter.

"Big-eared thief, can you stop pretending?"

"Brother Fei has already made your thoughts very clear."

"I think the big-eared thief wants to inspect the goods personally. After all, Zhang Fei didn't even like the beauty E Huan mentioned last time."
