Chapter 353

The scouts arranged by Guo Jia appeared 'appropriately'.

"Report! My lord, General Zhang Fei and General Ma Chao have made a lightning raid of a thousand miles, pacifying He Pass, crossing the river into Xiao Huang Zhong, and forcing all the Qiang tribes west of the river to surrender. Western Qiang is completely pacified!"

"General Zhang Liao made a lightning raid of several hundred miles, leading troops to kill the Di King of Xingguo, A Gui, and the Di King of Baixiang, Yang Qianwan, then turned to strike Gaoping and Tuge, achieving great victories in all!"

Everyone was greatly shocked, to the point that they could barely hold their wine cups.

"That is to say, the leaders who didn't come to attend Lord Xuande's wedding banquet have been killed?!"

"It's a good thing I came!"

"Lord Xuande is mighty!"

Seeing that the timing was ripe, Liu Bei said in a loud voice,

"Gentlemen, now that the likes of Han Sui and the Western Qiang King have been wiped out, I intend to reopen the Silk Road, open up trade with the various countries of the Western Regions, and rebuild Liangzhou into a prosperous land. Are you all willing to follow me?"

The meaning was: I am going to lead Liangzhou toward a moderately prosperous life; you all decide for yourselves what to do! ===== CHAPTER 354 =====
