Chapter 273

"Just this?"

"Isn't Yuan Shao the leader of the alliance? His face has been rubbed into the dirt by that eared thief! That eared thief didn't even throw anything but an iron spear!"

"It's just Gongsun Zan attacking Bohai Commandery, what a waste!"

Li Ru sighed,

"My lord, after this incident, Liu Bei's prestige has surpassed Yuan Shao's, and he has also made a statement to the people of the world: from now on, whoever touches Liu Bei's people, no matter who they are, he will absolutely not stand by and watch..."

Dong Zhuo felt miserable inside. Once upon a time, he too had been this domineering, but now...

"Bring wine!"

Li Ru sighed to himself.

The live broadcast room's chat was also getting busier,

"This Dong Zhuo is finished!"

"Dancing as usual, drinking as usual, this little life of his isn't bad!"

"Dong Zhuo has definitely been beaten into a state of self-seclusion by that eared thief!"

Li Jue cupped his hands,

"Strategist, should we report to my lord that Xun You was rescued?"

Li Ru glanced at Dong Zhuo, who was drinking and making merry,

"No rush to say it; my lord is in no mood to listen right now."

Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci led troops to continue north with the Zhen family,

while Guan Yu and Xu Shu remained to guard the border between Hedong and Henei, continuing to absorb refugees and guard against Yuan Shao and the Black Mountain Army.

Liu Bei arrived at Anyi City in Hedong with his personal guards,

"Lord Xuande, many thanks for the grace of saving my life!"

Xun You cupped his hands and bowed deeply!

Liu Bei walked quickly a few steps and helped Xun You up,

"Gongda is loyal and righteous, disregarding danger to assassinate Dong Zhuo; I admire you greatly."

He looked at the thirty-something-year-old Xun You before him, whose body was thin and whose appearance was somewhat haggard.

In history, Xun You was not as famous as Xun Yu, but he was more adept at flexible and varied enemy-defeating tactics and military strategy.

It could be said that Xun Yu focused mainly on strategy, while Xun You focused on tactics.

Offering the brilliant plan to flood Xiapi City, the scheme to behead Yan Liang and Wen Chou, advising Cao Cao to attack Hebei first, and his endless brilliant schemes during the Battle of Guandu!

These were Xun You's main achievements.

Xun You, however, felt somewhat ashamed,

"Lord Xuande is the true hero of the Great Han. I was merely imitating others; I was imprisoned by Dong Zhuo before I could even carry out the assassination."

"Wu Qiong died a miserable death, He Yong committed suicide, and Zhong Ji fled. If not for Lord Xuande, I fear I would not have made it out alive."

Liu Bei shook his head,

"Brother Gongda, that is incorrect. Assassinating Dong Zhuo lies in the heart, not the result. In Chang'an, among so many people, only you and a few others gave up your official positions and dared to assassinate the traitor Dong!"

Xun You was moved to tears, never expecting that the world-renowned Liu Bei would think so highly of him.

"Lord Xuande, you flatter me..."

"Lord Xuande, saving me earlier cost you several brothers."

Liu Bei nodded and said in a deep voice,

"Gongda, rest assured. These were all righteous men. I will treat their families well, provide them with pension land, and raise their children and parents."

"Many thanks, Lord Xuande. I will also contribute my share when the time comes."

Liu Bei, however, cupped his hands and bowed,

"I have long heard of Gongda's great talent. Bingzhou is in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt, and there are over a million more people to settle. I would like to invite Gongda to be my Bingzhou Registrar."

The Registrar is a subordinate official to the Governor, in charge of the state government's documents and files, and manages affairs within the office; their status is higher than that of a Commandery Governor.

Xun You hurriedly bowed even deeper,

"My lord, this subordinate will serve you with all his heart and soul from now on!"

Liu Bei laughed heartily and helped Xu You up,

"Good! Today is a happy day; let us not stop until we are drunk!"

"Du Ji, you as well!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Liu Bei drank all the officials of Anyi under the table before returning to the backyard.

Bai Yuekui flashed out,

"Captain, just how good is this Xun Gongda that you sacrificed several good men and spent quite a bit of money to bribe people?"

Liu Bei smiled,

"Slightly lower than Guo Jia, higher than Xu Shu. You tell me, is it worth it?"

Bai Yuekui's eyes lit up,

"Then it is indeed quite worth it!"

Liu Bei looked at her,

"You actually led the team yourself this time. You weren't injured, were you?"

"It's nothing. I didn't enter the city; I waited outside Changancheng."

Bai Yuekui didn't care,

"What a big deal. Thanks for your concern!"

Liu Bei suddenly moved close to Bai Yuekui and reached out to wrap his arms around her waist,

"Thanks? How do you intend to thank me?"

Bai Yuekui's neck was sprayed by Liu Bei's breath, and her face turned red instantly,

"Captain, you're drunk..."

0 ······Begging for flowers····· ·······

Liu Bei chuckled,

"Wine doesn't intoxicate people; people intoxicate themselves. Do you know why?"

Bai Yuekui bit her lip, her neck turning red,

"Heaven knows you, let me go quickly."

Liu Bei's strength was so great that she definitely couldn't break free!

"Woo! ~"

Soon,

the live broadcast room went black,

leaving only Hua Mulan in Jinyang City, seriously reading documents.

"Damn it, eared thief, take your dirty hands off!"

"My Miss Bai Yuekui, draw your blade already!"

"Are you stupid? Bai Yuekui was already stunned by Liu Bei long ago."

"That's right, Bai Yuekui has received so many benefits from Liu Bei; haven't you noticed she's getting younger and prettier? It's time for the eared thief to close the net."

"Scumbag!"

Bai Yuekui's eyes were red as she punched Liu Bei once!

Liu Bei pulled her into his arms,

"The three of us broke into the end of the Han dynasty alone; we should have supported each other from the start. Isn't it better now?"

.......... 0

Bai Yuekui snorted,

"Your logic is all twisted!"

She sighed deeply; things were already like this, so let it be!

"I will not become one of your backyard women."
