Three Kingdoms: Take care of Lady Gan on behalf of Liu Bei at the beginning

Chapter 1 Liu Wu Rushes to Xinye
The seventh year of Jian'an, 202 AD.

Yuan Shao, the overlord of the north, was defeated repeatedly by Cao Cao and died of grief and anger.

Liu Bei once again fled south like a stray dog ​​and took refuge with Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao treated him as a guard dog and stationed troops in Xinye to guard against Cao Cao.

Cao Cao gathered his forces to attack Hebei. On the other hand, he arranged for Cao Ren to station troops in Wancheng to guard against Liu Biao's army advancing north.

Following Liu Biao's orders, Liu Bei led his troops to attack Xu Du and fought with Cao Ren in Wancheng.

When Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were checking the terrain, they encountered an ambush.

Despite the best efforts of his personal guards, Liu Bei was hit by two poisoned arrows and was in critical condition.

……

Xinye, a courtyard with the words "Guan Mansion" written on it.

backyard.

In one room, the smell of blood and herbs was strong and pungent.

Liu Bei lay on the bed with his eyes closed and his whole body wrapped up like a dumpling.

If you look closely, you will see that Liu Bei on the couch is missing one of his arms.

"Godly doctor, how is my elder brother? Can he survive?"

Guan Yu nervously asked the genius doctor Zhang Zhongjing in the room.

Zhang Fei, who was standing by, also wanted to grab Zhang Zhongjing and question him.

Zhang Zhongjing glanced at Liu Bei, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei:

"Generals, Envoy Liu's life is safe for the time being."

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard this, they were immediately overjoyed.

"However, Envoy Liu was hit by two poisonous arrows. Although he lost an arm to save his life, the injuries and poison still caused serious damage to his body."

"From now on, I can't do any big movements. Even when I walk, I need someone to support me. Otherwise, if I stumble, my life will be in danger."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not happy yet, as they were shocked by Zhang Zhongjing's turn of events.

Even when walking, you need someone to support you?

Even a stumble could put your life in danger?

"How could this be?" Zhang Fei was shocked.

"Good doctor, is there any way to restore my elder brother's health?" Guan Yu asked Zhang Zhongjing anxiously.

Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and sighed, "Even so, we still need a doctor to take care of us all the time."

"What..." Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took a breath, unable to believe it.

"Brother, how could this be possible? I will skin and dig out the bones of that damn Cao Ren to avenge you." Guan Yu was furious as never before, his phoenix eyes filled with murderous intent.

Zhang Fei was also angry.

I think they all have great ambitions and take it as their responsibility to restore the Han Dynasty.

However, Liu Bei suffered such a heavy blow.

They focused all their hatred on Cao Ren.

They went to the outside of Wancheng to check the terrain, and the terrain there was superior, so it was obvious that Cao Ren had ambushed the assassins long ago.

But isn’t this too cruel?

"Ahem... Second brother, third brother, the news of my serious injury must not be spread out, otherwise, our power will be dispersed, and Liu Biao and Cai Mao will definitely expel and annex us."

Just as Guan and Zhang were furious, Liu Bei's weak voice was heard from the bed.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurried to the bedside.

"Hey, brother, it's already this time, why are you still caring about this?"

Guan Yu spoke to the pale and weak Liu Bei with both anxiety and helplessness.

"No, our efforts of 10 to 20 years cannot be destroyed in one day. We still need to restore the Han Dynasty. The Liu, Guan, and Zhang families must stand among the top families of the Han Dynasty. This is the eldest brother asking for your help. We must not give up."

Liu Bei's pale and weak face flushed a little, and he grabbed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said.

"Brother, don't get excited, don't get excited." Seeing Liu Bei so excited, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were shocked and hurried to comfort him.

Afraid that something might happen to Liu Bei.

However, Guan Yu then thought about the current situation and sighed:

"Brother, it's not that the second and third brothers have given up. It's just that the current situation is very unfavorable. Zilong's loyalty is not to be mentioned for now. Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and the Mi family all came to join you because of your potential. If they knew about your situation and that you have no children, I'm afraid they would look for another way out."

"Although Jian Yong and Sun Qian followed their elder brother in their early years, they also wanted to pursue a better future."

"Chen Dao and Xu Shu have only recently joined my brother, so it's hard for them to be very loyal to me."

"Liu Biao is pushing us to fight against Cao Cao. If he learns of my eldest brother's condition and finds that we are useless, I'm afraid he will take back Xinye or annex us."

Guan Yu shook his head and sighed.

Liu Bei was forty years old and had no children. Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Mi and others under his command had been in unrest over the past few years because of this.

Now that they have suffered such a heavy blow, they will certainly not be able to retain talent.

If the news got out that Liu Bei was seriously injured and unable to recover, he would definitely be abandoned by Liu Biao.

The career that has been built up over decades is facing collapse.

Liu Bei's pale face became even paler. He said:

"No, we can't let our forces fall apart. We have not accomplished our great cause, and we are ready to die, but my second and third brothers have not been made marquises or generals, and have not achieved the highest positions and honors for our clan."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very moved, but also felt even more uncomfortable.

"Go to Hefei and invite my cousin Liu Wu. He is very talented and looks similar to me, so he can replace me to stabilize the situation. He is also a member of the Liu family and will not stand for the Liu family's foundation to be destroyed." Liu Bei suddenly gritted his teeth and said.

"What? Liu Wu?"

Guan and Zhang, who were feeling uncomfortable, both raised their heads when they heard Liu Bei's words.

What subconsciously emerged in the minds of the two people was the face of a man they saw in Xuzhou, who looked extremely similar to Liu Bei, except that he was a lot younger.

"This..." Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other.

……

On the official road to Xinye, dozens of elite soldiers were guarding a carriage, moving forward quickly.

The leader of the guards was a mighty man dressed in brocade clothes, holding a long spear, with a bow and arrow and a bell on his waist.

"Brother Gan, I don't know why Liu Bei is so anxious to see me. When the time comes, no matter what happens, you must protect Wu."

Liu Wu opened the curtain of the carriage and smiled at Gan Ning, who was riding his horse outside the carriage in a majestic manner, with the sound of bells ringing in his every move.

"Haha, I've heard that Liu Bei has two powerful generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who are capable of fighting ten thousand enemies. I've wanted to see them for a long time. If I could have a fight with Guan and Zhang, that would be what I want most, haha." Gan Ning laughed heartily.

Upon hearing this, Liu Wu smiled with satisfaction.

At the beginning, he went south from Xuzhou to the Yangtze River and made friends with Gan Ning, who was still a Jinfan thief, for money. This was because Gan Ning was not only a famous general of the Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, but also because of his strong character, bravery and good fighting skills, and he was very loyal and righteous.

If they were close friends, Gan Ning would have protected Liu Wu during the chaotic times.

However, when Liu Wu thought of Liu Bei who was eager to see him this time, his brows frowned.

He was originally an ordinary 996 office worker in the future, named Li Li. However, he accidentally traveled to Zhuo County, Youzhou, and became a member of the same clan as Liu Bei, and was named Liu Wu.

When he was born as a baby, it was the third year of Emperor Ling's reign, Guanghe, which was 180 AD.

When he was four years old, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.

At that time, his father actually discovered that he looked very similar to Liu Bei when he was a child.

Although Liu Wu was surprised, he didn't care.

After all, they are brothers and sisters, and their blood is very close, so it’s not a big deal if they look alike.

When he was ten years old, eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo. In that year, Liu Bei, as recorded, fought against Lu Bu together with Guan, Zhang and other heroes, and became famous throughout the world.

At that time, Liu Wu decided to cling to Liu Bei's thigh and give Liu Bei some foresight and help so that he could make a fortune as soon as possible.

However, life was even more difficult for children in ancient times.

It was far away from Liu Bei, and the road was full of rioters, robbers, and bandits, making it impossible to deliver letters.

Even if he said something, Liu Bei didn't believe it at all.

At this time, people around Liu Wu said that he looked very similar to Liu Bei when he was young.

Liu Wu didn't care either.

At this time, Liu Bei, who had been wandering for six years, still had not seized the benefits of the princes' campaign against Dong Zhuo and the princes' ceding of land.

Liu Wu was a little anxious.

By the third year of Chuping, Liu Wu was already thirteen years old.

In ancient times, he was old enough to get married. He sent a message to Liu Bei, analyzing that Tao Qian in Xuzhou was old and surrounded by wolves, tigers and leopards. He guided Liu Bei that if there was a chance, he could go to Xuzhou and use Xuzhou as his base.

Because Xuzhou can be said to be the highlight of Liu Bei's first half of his life.

As long as Xuzhou is held, it may be possible to use the land of Xuzhou to deal with Cao Cao, and later join forces with Cao Cao to resist the more powerful Yuan Shao, so that the Liu family can prosper sooner.

He advised Liu Bei that if he arrived in Xuzhou, he should win over local forces and even form an alliance through marriage to gain support.

The person you need to be careful of is the wandering Lu Bu. Don't underestimate Lu Bu's intention to hurt others.

Because these are things that happened to Liu Bei in history, Liu Wu just said them in advance.

If Liu Bei trusted him, Liu Wu was still very confident that he could make Liu Bei better than in history.

Or maybe it was Tao Qian's request for help, or Liu Bei's own kindness and righteousness that drove him.

Or maybe Liu Bei listened to Liu Wu's words and really went to Xuzhou.

As in history, Liu Bei became the governor of Xuzhou.

Marry into the Mi family and gain their support.

A governor of a state is a high-ranking official in frontier regions, such as a province or several provinces in later generations.

At that time, Liu Wu was also very happy, so he went to Xuzhou with the young men of the same clan to join Liu Bei.

But when they saw Liu Bei, everyone was dumbfounded.

Liu Bei and Liu Wu look so similar, as if they were cut from the same mold.

At this time, Liu Wu was shocked and numb.

He just heard people say that he looked similar to Liu Bei when he was young, but he never paid much attention to it.

But, this face hit.

The other party is the governor of a state and a famous prince in the world. This is not a good thing.

Without waiting for Liu Wu to say anything, Liu Bei put him under house arrest and blocked the news.

finally.

People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.

Liu Wu promised Liu Bei to retire and not to appear in front of others easily or cause trouble.

But Liu Wu also put forward his own conditions. If Liu Bei becomes king or emperor in the future, he should not forget to give him wealth and honor.

"Liu Bei is in a hurry to see me. Is there something important? Or is it that Xinye is in trouble now and he has decided to use me?"

"It's just that the previous incident seemed like he wanted to get rid of the donkey after it had done its job, but it hasn't passed yet. Who would offer him advice? Although I have some knowledge of later generations and my vision has been broadened, in terms of talent and military affairs, I am not necessarily better than Liu Bei."

Liu Wu frowned, not understanding why Liu Bei was so anxious to see him.

When it comes to sorting out his own talents, Liu Wu still has self-awareness.

How many people in modern times can stir up the world situation?

Among the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, which one of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Sun Quan was a stupid person?

Why was Liu Bei so anxious to see me?
When the team arrived at Xinye City, Liu Wu and others were led by Guan Yu to a mansion.

"Guan Mansion?" Liu Wu saw the plaque on the mansion through the gap in the carriage, but his brows furrowed even more.
