Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 254
Liu Bei bowed his body, looked very humble, and said to Yuan Shu: "Just now at the banquet, what Master Yan said about Liu Biao was very much in line with his wishes, and I thought it was necessary to guard against it."

"En." Yuan Shu agreed, but didn't seem to care.

Liu Bei continued: "Although Liu Biao is the general's defeated general, we must guard against it. If the general raises troops to attack Cao and Liu Biao invades, how can we resist?"

"Forgive him for not having the guts!" Yuan Shu said extremely conceitedly.

Liu Bei chuckled and said, "The former Liu Biao may not have had such courage, but now, with Zhao Qian in the mix, the situation may be different. The general must guard against it."

Yuan Shu frowned and thought for a while, then snorted coldly: "The enmity between me and Cao Cao was all caused by Zhao Qian's forehead, and now he is sowing discord between me and Liu Biao. It is really hateful, it is better to attack Zhao Qian first!"

"Absolutely not!" Liu Bei said quickly, "Don't say that Jinyang, where Zhao Qian is located, is a long way from Shouchun even if it is Luoyang. If they attack from afar, how can Cao Cao and Liu Biao ignore it? When the time comes to join forces, the situation is bound to danger!"

Yuan Shu laughed, and said, "I'm joking, but Xuande doesn't have to take it seriously. Xuande should talk about how to deal with Liu Biao."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "I captured the Lujiang River for the general, which can be used as a basis for monitoring Jiangxia in Jingzhou."

Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Well, Xuande's words are good. I have newly acquired Lujiang River, so I can make good use of it."

Liu Bei stood aside with one hand on his knees and did not speak. Yuan Shu suddenly gasped and said, "Xuande, I remembered. Before you conquered Lujiang, you were named the prefect of Lujiang, right?"

Liu Bei nodded and said with a smile: "That's true. Prepare to live up to the expectations of His Majesty and the general, conquer the Lujiang River, and come back to report."

Yuan Shu got impatient again, and said, "Since Xuande is the prefect of Lujiang, it's up to you to guard Lujiang, so why choose someone else."

Liu Bei hurriedly bowed and said: "The general believes in Bei, and Bei will definitely live up to the general. It's just that your majesty, do you agree or not?"

Yuan Shu smiled and said: "I will go to court tomorrow, and I will tell His Majesty personally that I will definitely agree, don't worry."

"Thank you, General!" Liu Bei thanked again.

Yuan Shu nodded, waved his hands and said, "Xuande go back to rest first, I'm a little tired too."

"Prepare to leave!"

When Liu Bei came out of Yuan Shu's mansion, Guan Yu was still waiting outside the mansion. Seeing Liu Bei coming out, he stepped forward and asked, "What did elder brother say to Yuan Shu?"

"I invite Ying to go to Lujiang." Liu Bei said.

Guan Yu snorted coldly and said, "Brother is the prefect of Lujiang, why ask Yuan Shu for instructions?"

As Liu Bei walked, he said, "Second brother, how can you not see that this Huaiyang land is now in the hands of Yuan Shu, if he doesn't agree, how can I escape?"

"Isn't there still Your Majesty?" Guan Yu asked.

Liu Bei sighed, and said: "Your Majesty has suffered many disasters, and now it is difficult to be majestic. Yuan Shu doesn't take His Majesty seriously at all."

Guan Yu snorted coldly, and said, "Yuan Shu's fourth and third princes have committed such disloyalty, it is better to kill Yuan Shu, so that the Han Dynasty can be restored."

Liu Bei shook his head and sighed again: "It's not as simple as the second brother thinks! Yuan Shu has many confidants, and there are guards following him when he goes in and out. If I act impulsively, I am afraid that Yuan Shu is not dead, and His Majesty is in danger. At that time, Yuan Shu will All the blame is shirked on us, that is indefensible!"

"It's really hateful!" Guan Yu said angrily.

Liu Bei sighed again: "Throw a rat!"

"Brother is a member of the Han family, don't you plan to take care of it?" Guan Yu asked puzzled.

Liu Bei nodded, and said, "How can I sit idly by? This application to be stationed abroad is to leave the place where things are right and wrong in order to make big things happen."

Guan Yu didn't seem to understand, Liu Bei continued: "Lu Kang's political achievements in Lujiang were quite outstanding before, and the people were prosperous. Using this as capital, recruit troops and buy horses. When the time is right, we may succeed in counterattacking King Qin."

After listening to Liu Bei's explanation, Guan Yu suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Brother is so hardworking, Yu really admires him!"

"You and I, brothers, why be so polite, we will go back tonight and get ready to go anytime!" Liu Bei said.

"promise!"

The next day, in the court hall, Yuan Shu said to Liu Xie beside him, "Your Majesty, Liu Biao is now stationed in Jiangxia with evil intentions to harm His Majesty."

"Does the general have a good strategy?" Liu Xie asked.

Yuan Shu smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the emperor's uncle Liu Xuande is the prefect of Lujiang personally appointed by His Majesty, you can order him to lead the troops to garrison Lujiang, so as to observe the dynamics of Jingzhou."

Liu Xie was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was standing at the end of the shift without looking sideways.

Seeing Liu Bei's appearance, Liu Xie knew in his heart that it must be Liu Bei's plan, so Yuan Shu applied to himself and ordered Liu Bei to go out.

Liu Xie deliberately shook his head and said, "General Zuo is my uncle, and I don't want to let him go out to garrison the army. Does the general want someone else?"

Yuan Shu frowned, he didn't expect Liu Xie to disagree, and said displeasedly: "I hope that your Majesty will put the state affairs first, and don't act emotionally."

Yuan Shu directly taught Liu Xie a lesson. This remark was really outrageous, but the officials in the court did look at each other in blank dismay, and no one spoke out to stop him.

Liu Bei stood there as if he didn't hear Yuan Shu's words, as if he stayed out of it, but his only arm was clenched tightly.

Liu Xie was furious when he heard Yuan Shu's words, but when he saw Yuan Shu's sinister eyes, his anger dissipated immediately, so he sighed and said, "Then follow the general's suggestion."

The corner of Yuan Shu's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was satisfied that he had gained the upper hand again. He took a step forward and shouted loudly, "Liu Bei listens!"

Liu Bei frowned, but he still stepped out of the shift and responded, "The minister is here!"

The corner of Yuan Shu's mouth twitched, and he said, "Your Majesty ordered you to lead the troops to the Lujiang River to observe the movement of Jiangxia and ensure the stability of Huaiyang, so there must be no mistakes!"

"I obey the order!" Liu Bei replied.

Yuan Shu looked at the civil and military personnel on his side, and added: "The two generals Le Jiu and Chen Lan will serve as deputy generals, assisting Uncle Liu Huang."

As soon as the words fell, the two generals stepped out of the squad, clasped their fists and said: "The last general obeys orders!"

After the morning court was over, Yuan Shu returned to the General's Mansion, and the chief secretary, Yan Xiang, walked up to Yuan Shu and asked, "Why did my lord let Liu Bei go to Lujiang?"

"Of course it's to watch over Liu Biao for me." Yuan Shu said indifferently.

Yan Xiang said urgently: "Liu Bei is the most repetitive person. If he stays by my side, he will look up to me, and he will not be a threat. If he is left outside, once his wings are full, he will definitely come back. I hope the lord will find out!"
