The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 286 Liu Bei Enters Xuzhou

"Lord Xuande, if you want to go to Xuzhou, just go. Why do you have to take me with you?" Yang Ji complained to Liu Bei half-deadly.

Yang Ji had no idea what Liu Bei was doing. He was just staying in the Government Affairs Office, planning to return to Licheng to garrison in a few days.

As a result, I don't know whose sweet talk Liu Bei listened to, but he rushed into the Government Affairs Hall and dragged Yang Ji out, saying that he would take Yang Ji to Xuzhou with him, and the killer Li Ru would also be traveling with him.

Yang Ji had originally planned to go to Bohai County for some fun after returning to Licheng, but now, all his plans had gone down the drain.

"I have already signed Zichuan's transfer order for Yuanzhi. Yuanzhi will help you in Licheng, so everything will be fine.

Besides, even if something happens, I believe Yuan Zhi will handle it well. Let's let the young man have some experience now." Liu Bei glanced at Yang Ji and knew what this guy was thinking. He just wanted to go to Licheng to fish.

After transferring Xu Shu to Licheng, Yang Ji could use the name of training Xu Shu to throw all the work on hand to Xu Shu, and then Yang Ji could just lie back in the Licheng government office.

"Lord Xuande, have you forgotten that Yuanzhi is not much different from me in age?" Yang Ji said meaningfully.

“I’m not old enough to have a dizzy head yet, so of course I remember that the age difference between you two is not much.

But, do you dare to say that you didn't put Yuanzhi and Xiaozhi together when you arranged the work?" Liu Bei looked at Yang Ji sideways.

You want to use age as an excuse? Sorry, we don't judge people by age here, we usually judge people by ability.

If age is really the key, you, Yang Ji and Chen Xi, should give up your positions first to the two middle-aged uncles Li You and Jia Xu.

"What's more, Yuanzhi has already awakened his spiritual talent, and it's time for him to try to handle affairs independently." Liu Bei said with some emotion.

The memory of meeting Xu Shu in Yingchuan is still vivid, as if it happened just yesterday.

I didn't expect that so much time has passed in the blink of an eye, and even Xu Shu, a little gangster, has awakened his spiritual talent.

By the way, is there something wrong with Xu Shu's talent? Fa Zheng, who is the same age, was educated by his great Confucian father since childhood, so he was able to awaken his talent at this age.

How come it took Xu Shu only two to three years to go from a scoundrel to a first-class wise man? He only awakened his talent a few months later than Fa Zheng.

Forget it, never mind. This world is not a purely materialistic world anyway. As long as Xu Shu feels he can do it, then it’s fine.

"Speaking of this, shouldn't that guy Xiaozhi be sent to Qi to take up the post? We can't appoint him as the prime minister of Qi but never take up the post." Li Ru interrupted.

It has been several months since Chen Xi handed over the seal and documents of the Prime Minister of Qi to Fa Zheng, but Fa Zheng has never been to Qi even once. What is going on?

"That's right. Anyway, the princes in all directions have been doing some big things recently. It would be a good thing to let Xiaozhi go to Qi to take office. After all, Yuanzhi is in charge of Licheng." Liu Bei thought about it and agreed with Li Ru's suggestion.

Recently, Fa Zheng has completely left his position under Guo Jia, Li Ru, and Jia Xu. It's time for him to be released to take charge of a region on his own and gain some training.

Liu Bei immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Chen Xi, asking him to send Fa Zheng to Qi to take up his post.

"By the way, Wenru, why did you also come out with Lord Xuande?" While Liu Bei was writing a letter, Yang Ji looked at Li Ru.

"Aren't you supposed to be educating the three new young people? Do you still expect Chen Zichuan to educate you?" Yang Ji also mocked Chen Xi, the guy who only knew how to teach by rote learning.

After all, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi went to Li Ru's classroom to study because they couldn't stand Chen Xi's teaching methods.

"Zichuan's educational method is quite suitable for talented young people. As long as they can hold on, it'll be fine." Li Ru said lightly.

Although he also felt that Chen Xi's educational method was quite outrageous, he had to admit that for a genius boy, perhaps Chen Xi's educational method was the most correct one.

For a talented boy, you just need to give him a textbook, and after a while he will be able to give you a reference book full of annotations and thoughts.

"Besides, this trip to Xuzhou won't take too long. By the time we return to Fenggao, they will probably have finished reading the books I left for them."

Li Ru refused to talk about what kind of books and homework he left for Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong. After all, he asked Chen Xi to specially create a list of books and homework, which would ensure that the talents of these talented young men would be developed to the maximum extent.

Yang Ji looked at Li Ru suspiciously, he suspected that Li Ru had something else to say.

It's a pity that he didn't learn how Li Ru taught Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong, otherwise he would definitely understand the meaning of Li Ru's words.

At the same time, the main reason why Yang Ji did not think deeply about Li Ru's words was that Li Ru said that they would return to Fenggao from Xuzhou soon.

Yang Ji curled his lips at Li Ru's optimistic estimate. He didn't think that this trip to Xuzhou would end soon.

Even if they want to end it early, they have to see whether the Xuzhou families are willing.

By the way, the current time is February of the fourth year of Chuping, which is February of the lunar calendar in 193.

As the news that Tao Qian was going to welcome Liu Bei to Xuzhou spread in Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou did not react much, but the Xuzhou aristocratic families began to panic.

After all, no matter how the upper class changes, as long as it does not affect the lives of the lower class people, the lower class people will not care about these changes.

Or to put it another way, when the lower-class people work hard to barely make a living, they do not have the energy to care about changes in the upper class and the various policies issued by the rulers.

Unless these changes affect the lives of the grassroots people, who would have the time and energy to pay attention to these things?

As for the reason why the Xuzhou aristocratic families were in an uproar, as mentioned before, Liu Bei's guiding ideology for governing the world did not have much in common with the aristocratic families' guiding ideology for monopolizing the world.

How much knowledge the descendants of Xuzhou families have inherited from their ancestors is another matter. After all, there will always be a few descendants of Xuzhou families who are incompatible with the mainstream descendants of Xuzhou families.

It is hard to say whether the heads of the various families in Xuzhou are wise and knowledgeable people who understand the general trend of the times, or short-sighted people who only think about family interests.

After all, do you really think that others can't see that Cao Song was killed and Tao Qian was framed?
After Tao Qian's death, who was the biggest beneficiary and who was the mastermind behind the scenes? It was obvious that the Xuzhou family was the biggest beneficiary.

Generally speaking, whenever there is a group of people who benefit the most, this is the tone, unless they are really lucky.

"Why, do you think there will be unexpected surprises waiting for us on this trip to Xuzhou?" Li Ru couldn't help but ask after seeing Yang Ji's silence.

Yang Ji nodded. "This trip to Xuzhou probably won't be as smooth as we thought. Alas, can't these guys just be quiet for a while? They only know how to cause trouble for others. It's easy to turn it into a game of Candy Crush."

Yang Ji sighed. After receiving the news that Liu Bei was leaving Fenggao, these Xuzhou aristocratic families had held many meetings to discuss how to deal with Liu Bei's entry into Xuzhou.

Although such meetings had been held more than once after Liu Bei's grand sacrifice at the Jingling Hall, no consensus had been reached.

It dragged on and on until the day Liu Bei set out for Xuzhou. It was really a dream.

Then, a traitor sneaked into the emergency meeting of Xuzhou aristocratic families, and the minutes of the meeting fell into Jia Xu's hands.

This is also the main reason why Yang Ji judged that Liu Bei’s trip to Xuzhou would be a surprise.

For Liu Bei, it would be a real surprise if he really encountered any unexpected events outside the itinerary during this trip to Xuzhou.

After all, Liu Bei also brought Chen Dao, the military commander under Chen Xi, with him on this trip.

At the same time, Yang Ji also has a team of elite Danyang soldiers with double talents under his name, and Chen Dao is now Yang Ji's deputy general on this trip.

"Xuzhou aristocratic family, humph!" A cold light flashed in Li Ru's eyes. If the surprise that Yang Ji mentioned really happened during this trip to Xuzhou, he wouldn't mind letting the Xuzhou aristocratic family see his methods.

If it weren't for the fact that Tao Qian wanted to welcome Liu Bei to Xuzhou, according to Li Ru's idea, the army would have set out directly to take Xuzhou.

Looking at the cold air emanating from Li Ru, Yang Ji chuckled, "I hope something unexpected will happen to the Xuzhou family's plan, otherwise Zichuan's family-driven plan will have to change again."

"Aristocratic Family Drive Plan?" The cold light in Li Ru's eyes turned into curiosity. "What exactly is this Aristocratic Family Drive Plan that Zichuan mentioned? Can you introduce it to me?"

The aristocratic family driven plan was a term that came up with Chen Xi after he was drunk one time, saying that it could make the aristocratic families obey their command.

Unfortunately, Chen Xi fell drunk after uttering this word, and Yang Ji was the only one with a smile on his face at the scene.

At that time, someone ran to Yang Ji and got drunk and asked Yang Ji to announce the plan so that they could help find out the omissions and fill in the gaps.

Then, the guy who was drunk and acting crazy in front of Yang Ji was thrown by Yang Ji to an altitude of ten thousand meters to sober up.

Yang Ji said that he did not participate in Chen Xi's family-driven plan, so he did not know what the specific content was.

If anyone wants to know, he can let that person experience the thrill of bungee jumping from 10,000 meters above the ground for free.

Perhaps someone, under this kind of adrenaline rush, could have a synaesthesia effect with Chen Xi and sense from Chen Xi what the specific content of this plan is.

"Why, Wenru, do you want to try the feeling of bungee jumping from an altitude of ten thousand meters?" Yang Ji looked at Li Ru with malicious eyes.

"No need for your help. If I have the chance, I will try it myself to see what this bungee jumping from 10,000 meters above the ground like you mentioned is like." Li Ru turned his head without changing his expression.

Li Ru doesn't want to experience the thrill of bungee jumping from a height of 10,000 meters. He also wants to see the day when his dream comes true in reality.

After a long while, Liu Bei finally finished writing the letter to Chen Xi. The first thing he said when he saw Li Ru was: "Wenru, why do you look so pale all of a sudden?"

"..." Li Ru's face suddenly became worse. Unfortunately, he didn't want to attack Yang Ji, otherwise he would have to let Yang Ji see his martial arts.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Xuande. I'm fine. Maybe I was blown by the wind." Li Ru could only shake his head.

"Are you sure everything is okay?" Liu Bei looked back and forth between Li Ru and Yang Ji suspiciously several times.

Regarding Li Ru's explanation, Liu Bei just wanted to point fingers at Li Ru, how could you, a person who has cultivated Qi into a Gang, be blown into this state by such a cold wind?
However, since Li Ru said so, what could Liu Bei do? So he just pretended that he knew nothing.

After getting some things out of his mind, Liu Bei asked Yang Ji, "By the way, Zi Yu, do you know who is the commander of the elite troops of Danyang under Lord Tao?"

"Idiot, idiot, Cao Bao." Yang Ji said lazily. Everyone knows he is an idiot.

"Your evaluation... is really accurate." Liu Bei never thought that Cao Bao's ability could be evaluated in this way.

"The name suits him. His ability is not a big deal, but what's more important is that he doesn't even have the slightest self-awareness.

I don’t know what Tao Gongzu was thinking, he actually chose such a fool to be the commander of Danyang’s elite troops.

Also, even if Tao Gongzu's elite Danyang troops have no commander, they are better than Cao Bao's random command." Yang Ji commented sharply on Cao Bao.

"Shuzhi, do you think so or not?" At last, Yang Ji pointed at Chen Dao.

"Ah?" Chen Dao said that he was from Runan, Yuzhou, and didn't know what the situation was in Xuzhou.

"Okay, Shuzhi, don't pay attention to him. He is just teasing you." After Liu Bei glared at Yang Ji, he quickly said to Chen Dao.

It would be bad if this left any shadow in Chen Dao's heart, because this was the commander of the Royal Guards that Chen Xi had prepared for him.

The people who can be mentioned by Chen Xi are not simple guys, especially those who were personally recruited by Chen Dao and Yu Jin.

Liu Bei had already witnessed Yu Jin's abilities. His ability to train troops on a large scale was something that not everyone could do.

Don't compare him with Yang Ji, and don't compare him with Huangfu Song. These two are both cheating players. How can ordinary people like us cheat like them?
As for the 50,000 troops commanded by Yu Jin in the Nanyang camp, the soldiers originally under Cao Cao are now about to gather elite talents.

It is conceivable how high Yu Jin's attainments in large-scale military training are. Perhaps he is not as good as Yang Ji's cheating skills.

However, Yu Jin's method of training soldiers is at least understandable to others, while Yang Ji's method of training soldiers can probably only be used by Yang Ji himself.

Chen Dao was the general recommended by Chen Xi to Liu Bei before Liu Bei set out for Xuzhou, in order to recruit the elite troops from Danyang under Tao Qian.

At the same time, Chen Xi also said that Liu Bei's personal guards were selected from the elite of Danyang.
