Chapter 291

"Report~!"

"My lord, Lu Bu is recruiting troops and buying horses in Jizhou, and he is also letting his troops plunder, causing Yuan Shao to be suspicious of him; he has just led his troops and fled from Wei Commandery."

Zhang Fei widened his eyes.

"Is this thief Lu Bu changing masters again?"

"Big Brother, he won't come to Bingzhou, will he!"

Guan Yu, however, said,

"This Lu Bu definitely won't come to Bingzhou."

Liu Bei also nodded.

Lu Bu was extremely jealous and hateful toward him; even if he surrendered to Cao Cao, he wouldn't surrender to him.

Bai Yuekui walked in hurriedly.

"Urgent letter from Xuzhou."

Liu Bei opened it and took a look.

Cao Song took his younger son Cao De to defect to Cao Cao, who was already the General of the East and Governor of Yanzhou, from Langya Commandery, with more than one hundred carts of accompanying wealth.

However, when they were in Taishan Commandery, they were coveted by Zhang Kai, the Commandant of the guards sent by Tao Qian, who led soldiers to kill Cao Song's whole family and ran off to Wufeng Mountain to become bandits with the wealth.

Liu Bei handed the bamboo slips to everyone to watch.

Jia Xu frowned.

"This Tao Qian is also an old fool; I'm afraid Cao Cao has an excuse to send troops to Xuzhou this time."

Xun You also said,

"Xuzhou is wealthy and has a large population; Cao Cao has been short of grain all year and has long wanted to occupy the land of Xuzhou; now he has an excuse."

Xu Shu cupped his hands.

"My lord, Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou and part of Yuzhou; now if he gets Xuzhou, all three states are places with large populations; our army cannot fail to guard against it!"

Ju Shou cupped his hands.

"My lord, there is no need to worry too much; Tao Qian has managed Xuzhou for a long time, and the Danyang soldiers he recruited are also very elite; they won't be easily defeated."

"Yuan Shu of Huainan will also not sit idly by and watch Cao Cao occupy Xuzhou."

Liu Bei looked at the young Fa Zheng.

"Xiaozhi, tell us your opinion as well."

Fa Zheng paused.

"My lord, Xuzhou has more than three million people, vast fields and land, and also sea salt and aquatic products; Cao Cao will definitely take advantage of the time before the other warlords react, using the name of avenging his father, to take Xuzhou quickly with the force of a thunderbolt!"

"Force of a thunderbolt? A massacre of the city?"

Jia Xu, Xun You, and others nodded one after another; this young Fa Xiaozhi sees things very accurately.

Guo Jia sat up from the side of the low table in a flash.

"My lord, Tao Qian is on good terms with you; he will definitely send a letter to ask for help; my lord must not sit idly by and ignore it; make preparations early!"

Liu Bei stood up tall.

"Everyone, I can understand Cao Cao avenging his father, but if he uses his father's death to seize Xuzhou and slaughter the people of Xuzhou, I cannot sit idly by and ignore it."

"After the wedding banquet tonight, the generals will go back and prepare; in a few days, we will send troops to aid Xuzhou!"

"Understood!"

The live broadcast room's barrage also exploded.

"The Eared Thief's group of strategists is awesome!"

"Indeed, the situation on Cao Cao's side was cleared up in an instant by the strategists eating the wedding banquet!"

"Guo Jia, Xun You, Jia Xu, Ju Shou, Xu Shu, and the young Fa Zheng; this is definitely a group of top-tier strategists!"

"The key is that these strategists don't have internal strife like Yuan Shao's side."

"Eared Thief, today is your big day; can you not be so neglectful of your proper work?"

"I want to see the young lady Dong Bai!"

In the backyard,

Liu Bei walked into the room, supported by Beauty Feng and Lady Yi.

Cai Yan and the others helped Liu Bei and Dong Bai complete the ceremony.

Diao Chan said with a giggle,

"Husband, you must not bully Sister Dong Bai; she is very well-behaved."

Zou Shi, however, smiled lightly.

"No matter, I have already chatted with Sister Dong Bai."

Everyone had an expression of 'so that's how it is.'

Dong Bai's face was already bright red, even her earlobes were red.

"Sister Zou!"

Zou Shi was also from Liangzhou, so naturally, she would take care of Dong Bai.

After everyone dispersed, Liu Bei sat down beside Dong Bai and examined her carefully.

Dong Bai's pair of eyes were very bright, clear and limpid, shining like stars, cute and playful; her face was white and glowing, and her figure was petite.

Her body was a bit stiff, and she said timidly,

"Husband."

Liu Bei hugged her petite body. "Don't be nervous; let's talk for a while first."

Dong Bai nodded obediently, but thought in her heart,

"Husband is so gentle, but Sister Zou taught me never to believe in Husband's gentleness; who is the real one?" ===== CHAPTER 292 =====
