Chapter 655

Seeing that Cao Cao had sent heavy troops to guard Puyang City and that Sima Yi was young but calculating, Liu Bei did not force an attack on Dong Commandery. He left Zhang Liao to guard Jiyin Commandery.

He himself led troops to meet the generals at Xuxian, Cao Cao's old lair!

Xuxian,

Liu Bei met with Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, whom he had been separated from for a long time.

Guan Yu was full of tears,

"Big brother, I was careless and did not take Yecheng. Please punish me!"

Liu Bei laughed loudly,

"Yunchang, you went east from Hulao, broke through more than ten cities in succession, and shook the Central Plains. I don't even know how to reward you yet."

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang again,

"Kongming is a great talent. Not only did you govern Jingzhou well, but you also helped me take Xuxian. You have great merit."

He patted Zhuge Liang's thin shoulder,

"It's just that you shouldn't work your body too hard. I will prescribe some medicine for you to recuperate. Throw those miscellaneous matters to your subordinates to do; don't do everything yourself."

Zhuge Liang was grateful in his heart,

"My lord's great kindness, Liang has no way to repay."

Liu Bei smiled,

"You gave up your comfortable life as a recluse to help me restore the Han—that is already the greatest reward."

He took Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu's hands and entered Xuxian together.

The people of Xuxian were calm, Liu Bei's great army did not commit any offenses, and now the city had returned to normal life order.

Liu Bei arrived at the former residence of Cao Cao's General of Chariots and Cavalry, where a woman in white stood.
