Chapter 84
In the broadcast room,
"Awesome, the eared thief has tricked another military strategist!"
"This Guo Fengxiao, I thought he was a drunkard, but I didn't expect him to have such great talent!"
"Didn't you all notice? It turns out the eared thief had secretly planned so much!"
"Is this damn guy a veteran shut-in?!"
"The eared thief is just pure bluffing. How could people from Luoyang and Guandong come to places like Taiyuan and Hedong Commandery?"
"That's right, and Taiyuan has the Western Xianbei and Wuhuan to the north, and the Southern Xiongnu to the west. He will be exhausted from running around and won't even have the chance to head south."
"Liu Bei is just dreaming. Dong Zhuo has over a hundred thousand iron cavalry in the Hedong and Changancheng areas. What does he have to compete with others!"
"Guo Fengxiao is just so-so. He couldn't even see this; he was just lucky to copy Tian Dan's homework!"
There were all kinds of discussions online, feeling that Liu Bei's ideas were a bit wishful thinking and actually difficult to achieve.
Liu Bei led his army toward the seat of Taiyuan Commandery, Jinyang City.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Zilong whipped their horses and chased all the way, finally killing Yufuluo and also recapturing Jinyang City!
By the time Liu Bei led his army to arrive, the powerful clans of Taiyuan, such as the Wang clan and the Guo clan, came out of the city one after another to welcome him.
Liu Bei naturally talked happily with them. To gain a foothold in Taiyuan, he had to have a good relationship with these powerful clans.
The Taiyuan Wang clan had great influence throughout Bing Province. Wang Yun came from here, and later there were Wang Ling, Wang Chang, and others.
The Guo clan later produced the famous general Guo Huai!
The Wang clan, the Guo clan, and other prominent families were also very supportive of Liu Bei's arrival.
Taiyuan Commandery was often invaded by foreign tribes. Not long ago, Yufuluo had been burning, killing, and looting here, and everyone had swallowed their anger, having had much of their wealth and population snatched away.
Taiyuan Commandery was in urgent need of a powerful army to deter these foreign tribes.
The Bing Province Inspector Ding Yuan held the title but stationed his troops in Henei Commandery, completely ignoring the life and death of Bing Province!
The head of the Wang clan, Wang Ze, cupped his hands,
"Captain Liu, please, you must stay in Taiyuan, stay in Bing Province."
Wang Ze had previously served as the Administrator of Dai Commandery, and now that he remained in the Wang clan, he had seen too many cases of foreign tribes oppressing the Han people.
Liu Bei cupped his hands,
"Brother Jidao, I have come all the way from Hedong, and my heart is also filled with indignation. Places like Taiyuan and Yanmen were originally the territory of our Great Han, but now they are occupied by the Western Xianbei and Wuhuan. It is hateful!"
"And the Hetao Plain, which was originally the land of our Han family, is now also occupied by the Xiongnu!"
The heads of the other powerful clans felt a joy in their hearts. As long as Liu Bei had this intention, it was good!
The head of the Guo clan shed tears,
"Captain Liu, we have finally waited for the Imperial Army."
Liu Bei sighed,
"Everyone, I really want to stay here, but unfortunately, the imperial order is hard to disobey..."
Wang Ze and the others looked at each other,
"Captain Liu, we, the scholars of Taiyuan, will jointly submit a petition to the Emperor, requesting to facilitate this matter."
Liu Bei nodded,
"That would be excellent. I can also give my all for the peace and prosperity of the people of Taiyuan and Bingzhou."
Everyone agreed one after another, crowding around Liu Bei as they entered Jinyang City to eat meat and drink wine.
Zhang Fei sighed,
"Brother is truly loved by the people!"
The netizens in the broadcast room were also watching with great interest,
"The eared thief is treacherous. He has made up his mind to stay in Taiyuan Commandery and is still pretending!"
"These powerful clans are almost so grateful they are about to kneel down. I guess they were sold by Liu Bei and are still counting the money for him!"
"You don't know anything. Bingzhou is invaded by foreign tribes and has little profit, so no powerful armed force is willing to station there. Liu Bei is sending charcoal in snowy weather for them!"
"I agree with this. Both sides are like a turtle and a green bean that have caught each other's eye!"
Liu Bei drank several clan heads under the table, and after calling them brothers, he returned to the military camp.
Guo Fengxiao didn't get drunk this time and had even organized the documents.
The other several great generals were also waiting there.
"My lord, this time we have won a great victory, and the gains are also quite abundant."
"Our army captured sixty thousand Baibo troops and thirty thousand Xiongnu. We seized fifty thousand warhorses, one hundred and thirty million cash, fifty-one thousand shi of grain, over eighty thousand head of cattle and sheep, and various other weapons."
Liu Bei laughed,
"We used to lack warhorses, but now we have so many extra warhorses that it's a bit of a trouble."
The Xiongnu were accustomed to taking their cattle and sheep with them on expeditions, so Yufuluo was truly wiped out in one go this time!
Achieving freedom of warhorses, cattle, and sheep so quickly was something Liu Bei hadn't expected either.
