Chapter 312

Liu Bei coughed.

"Naturally, I like them."

Lu Lingqi was extremely happy, but then felt it was too ambiguous, and her ears instantly turned red.

"Lord Xuande, that is not what I~ meant..."

Liu Bei looked Lu Lingqi up and down and laughed.

"Oh, Young Lady Lu, then what did you mean?"

Lu Lingqi rolled her eyes beautifully.

"I never expected that the world-renowned Lord Xuande would also tease a young lady!"

Liu Bei laughed.

"Everyone has a love for beauty; teasing a beauty when you see one makes life a bit better."

Lu Lingqi felt wonderful inside; her idol, Lord Xuande, actually praised her as a beauty... so happy!

The two began to chat as if no one else was around.

Lu Lingqi let out crisp laughter from time to time.

"Lord Xuande, you want to save a million people? You are truly too benevolent and righteous; the people here have nothing to eat."

Lu Lingqi instantly transformed into Liu Bei's little fan girl.

"Lord Xuande is of high righteousness and will always care about the people."

Lu Bu??

He shook his head, having a bad premonition.

"Why is Lu Lingqi's voice outside? Huh, where's Liu Bei?"

"Did he steal my home?"

He was shocked, rushed out of the tent, and his expression changed drastically.

His precious daughter was currently looking at Liu Bei with infatuation, a smile on her lips, her face flushed!

"I guarded against this day and night, but my home was still stolen by that eared thief?!"

Lu Bu strode toward them.

"Ahem."

Reminding them to be careful, he was coming over!

Liu Bei's expression remained as usual.

"Fengxian, a tiger father has no dog daughter; I never expected your daughter to have such extraordinary martial arts and insight."

Lu Bu huffed; just because she's extraordinary, you have to set your sights on her?

"Why haven't you gone back to accompany your mother? Why are you out as a girl? What will you do if you run into a lecher!"

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Bei!

Liu Bei?? Who is this Lu Bu implying!

Lu Lingqi smiled and hurried away.

Lu Bu... how long has it been!

He pulled Liu Bei back to drink; he absolutely could not let Liu Bei meet Lu Lingqi again.

The broadcast room's barrage exploded.

"Haha, Lu Bu is guarding against him like a thief."

"Little Bubbu is quite cute!"

"Young Lady Lu is top-notch; she looks like an 'imperial sister' and has a supermodel figure. In an era where women are weak, she really makes my eyes light up."

"Long legs, no fat on her waist, beautiful and heroic; I love it, I love it!"

"Lu Bu is drinking, and the eared thief has already stolen his home! One word: Awesome!"

Early the next morning,

Liu Bei bid farewell to Lu Bu and Chen Gong.

"Take care, you two."

"Take care, Xuande."

Lu Bu also bowed with cupped hands; although he didn't like Liu Bei, he had to admit that Liu Bei's personality charm was great and he gave people a very good feeling.

Liu Bei glanced at the beautiful figure on the city tower.

"The whole army, set off!"

Liu Bei led his troops for a tour in the western part of Dong Commandery, and twenty thousand people were actually willing to follow him.

On one hand, Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and virtue was very high.

On the other hand, it also showed that the people really couldn't go on living; it is hard to leave one's homeland, but they really had no choice.

Liu Bei led the people to Chen Liu, and he himself was stunned.

Over 1.7 million people had gathered here; adding his own twenty thousand, over 40% of the people of Yanzhou were willing to follow him to Bingzhou this time!

This was a very terrifying number; the daily food and drink requirements were astronomical.

After Liu Bei met up with the others, he learned that Xun You had played a part in this.

"My lord, I just told them about the Cao Army mixing human flesh into the military rations; I never expected the people to be so terrified."

After Xun You finished speaking, his expression was gloomy.

"Cao Cao is lawless, and Cheng Yu is not a good person either; to actually do such a heinous thing!"

"Digging up graves, eating human flesh, massacring the people!"

Xun You continued,

"My lord, Cao Cao is cruel, and the Yanzhou gentry fear Cao Cao's retaliation, so many also intend to go to Bingzhou to avoid disaster."

Liu Bei nodded.

"Gentlemen, I have already had Gao Shun build a pontoon bridge at Maojin Ferry; we will go through Hulao, pass Luoyang, and head to Hedong."

"We must especially guard against Yuan Shao's movements in the north."

"Understood!"

Dong'e City.

Cao Cao was somewhat desolate.

"Zhicai, do you think I was wrong to kill Bian Rang's whole family?"

Xi Zhicai bowed with cupped hands.

"My lord wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, but I never expected Bian Rang to have such a great influence among the Yanzhou gentry."

Cao Cao shook off his spirits.

"No matter, once I kill Lu Bu, these gentry will still have to submit to me!"

Xun Yu walked in hurriedly.

"My lord! Liu Bei took the 800,000 shi of grain obtained from Xuzhou and migrated 1.6 million people from Yanzhou to Bingzhou!"

Cao Cao was nearly driven to a heart attack.

"What?! Liu Bei migrated away 40% of the people of my Yanzhou?!"

"This is to empty out my Yanzhou! Liu Bei, I will not share the same sky with you!"

Xun Yu's expression was somewhat bad.

"My lord, the people of Yanzhou are extremely short of grain, and seeing the excessive slaughter of the people of Xuzhou, plus knowing that human flesh was mixed into the military rations, everyone is terrified..."

He did not agree with Cao Cao's recent slaughtering methods; Xun You had also written him a letter specifically, saying that he had brought shame to the Xun family and was aiding the tyrant.

Xun Yu also felt miserable in his heart.

Cao Cao looked around.

"Am I really not as good as that Liu Bei? Are the people all going to leave me?"

Cheng Yu bowed with cupped hands.
