People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 322 My Family

On the top of Julu City, Xu Chen looked into the distance, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Not long after, Tian Shitou came to Xu Chen and whispered beside him: "Master, we just received news that Yuan Shao has died in prison by biting his tongue."

Hearing this, Xu Chen nodded without any special reaction: "Got it."

Seeing this, Tian Shitou stopped talking and simply stood next to Xu Chen, looking into the distance as well.

Unconsciously, Tian Shitou seemed to be immersed in it, and he suddenly realized what Xu Chen was thinking about at this moment.

In fact, this city wall is not unfamiliar to people.

Once upon a time, I also fought against the Han army here. At that time, the distant enemies included Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, and finally Huangfu Song. The final result was the defeat of the Yellow Turbans.

The most critical turning point of the Yellow Turbans' cause occurred here
Tian Shitou suddenly remembered the feeling of despair he had felt as an ordinary Yellow Turban soldier at that time when he heard that the Great Sage Master had died of illness, and that his army had finally been defeated by the elite Han army.

"We finally made it back. Unknowingly, so much time has passed." Tian Shitou sighed subconsciously.

Xu Chen glanced at him and smiled: "Yes, I am finally back. At that time, the Yellow Turbans had fallen to the bottom here, and today when I return here, my Yellow Turbans' new cause is rising."

Career Rise
These words made Tian Shitou feel a little dazed. After struggling for who knows how many years, the time had finally come for him to be able to say these words.

Although the Yellow Turbans had just defeated Yuan Shao, the other two battlefields were still undecided, and the expected four states had not yet been truly in his hands, but Tian Shitou felt more confident than ever before.

During the time of the Great Sage Teacher, the eight states of the world responded together, and the Yellow Turbans really had the potential to swallow up mountains and rivers and overthrow the country.

To be honest, today's Xuanxia may not have the same powerful momentum as the Yellow Turbans did back then.

However, Tian Shitou felt more at ease today. If he were given a choice, he would definitely not want to go back to the time of the Great Sage Master. This was not because he personally had a better future in Xuan Xia, but because Xuan Xia's foundation was more solid and its territory was more secure.

The land incorporated into Xuanxia is the real territory, and the people of Xuanxia are the real people of Xuanxia.

This is completely different from the original situation when the eight states of the Yellow Turbans moved together.

As long as Xuan Xia takes over the four northern states, the power of the country will be within reach, and the previous manifesto will be truly legitimate.

Thinking of this, Tian Shitou's body began to tremble with excitement.

"Master, we really did it. We have taken the main battlefield. Even if Lu Ping and General Wang Dang lose, it doesn't matter. The north has been taken into our possession, and we can dominate the world in no time!"

When he said this, Tian Shitou's mouth felt a little dry. When it really came to this, he felt like he was in a dream.

Thousands of people who had lost their homes at the beginning have actually risen against the odds and come this far.

"It would be great if the brothers who were buried here could see today." Tian Shitou sighed, feeling happy and depressed at the same time. After all, it was not easy to come this far.

Xu Chen patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "The work is not yet completed, it is too early to be happy now, let's take all the achievements in front of us first. Pass on my order, send Taishi Ci and Ma Yan to lead the army to support the other two armies, and Zhao Yun will lead the army to continue to attack Jizhou with me!"

Tian Shitou calmed down, saluted Xu Chen, and laughed loudly: "I understand!"

While the Yellow Turbans in Julu City were immersed in the joy of victory, there was one place that was completely in panic.

On the edge of Jizhou, a small army of more than a few thousand people was fleeing hastily to the south. This army belonged to none other than the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

In this battle, Liu Xie was actually brought to the vicinity of the battlefield by Yuan Shao, so that the emperor could supervise the battle.

However, Liu Xie was in the rear of the battlefield, so he was not directly affected by the defeat, but Yuan Shao's defeat on the front battlefield still frightened Liu Xie. Fortunately, a group of Han court officials reacted very quickly and immediately led a small army of several thousand to the south.

Speaking of this matter, Liu Xie also has to thank one person, that is Liu Bei, an official of Jizhou.

In this battle, Yuan Shao's army broke through, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu led their elite teams to successfully rush out of the battlefield. However, Liu Bei did not insist on escaping with Yuan Shao, but separated from the army as soon as he rushed out of the battlefield.

Liu Bei understood the situation clearly and knew that even if Yuan Shao's army broke through, they would not be spared by the Yellow Turbans, so he immediately decided to escape from danger.

After he divided his troops and left, he immediately led his army back to the rear and reported the battle situation on the front line to Liu Xie. This bought precious time for the Han court's emperor and his ministers, allowing them to quickly turn around and escape danger.

If it fell into the hands of the Yellow Turbans, Emperor Liu Xie and his ministers like Dong Cheng would not dare to imagine what the consequences would be, and the Han Dynasty would really be destroyed.

However, although they have now escaped from direct danger, Yuan Shao’s defeat has made them feel very confused.

Liu Xie actually didn't like Yuan Shao, but when he saw Yuan Shao being defeated, he panicked.

Although Yuan Shao's defeat seemed to have freed Liu Xie from his control, it actually put him back in a helpless situation. Although Liu Xie came to the border of Jizhou at this time, he had no idea where to go.

And even if they can find a place to settle down now, what should they do in the future? After Xuan Xia wins this battle, he will become so terrifying. Even a fool can understand this.

The coalition forces that Yuan Shao called upon to form have all failed. With only the remaining mess, will they still be able to face the threat from Xuan Xia?
"I heard that Xuande is also a relative of my Han Dynasty?" In the temporary camp tent, Liu Xie looked at a kind-looking man below. This man was Liu Bei, who saved him from danger at the critical moment.

Liu Xie had been busy escaping and had not had the chance to meet this hero properly. Now that he had breathed a sigh of relief, he thought of this matter.

While speaking, Liu Xie had a smile on his face and a friendly attitude, which was really gracious.

Liu Bei was such a smart man that he immediately realized what Liu Xie was thinking.

The emperor is now in a difficult situation and is at a loss. He is very eager for strength. Although the thousand soldiers he leads are not many, under the current circumstances, they are enough to make the emperor pay attention to them.

After realizing this, Liu Bei immediately kowtowed to Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, I am the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. Today, the Han Dynasty is in decline and the country is in ruins. As a descendant of the Liu family, I am worried every day and cannot sleep well. I only hope to help the Han Dynasty regain its glory with my humble efforts. In this time of crisis, I am very lucky to be able to be at your side and wait for your orders!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei raised his head and glanced at Liu Xie, his eyes moistened: "Your Majesty, you have been wronged over the years."

Liu Xie's heart suddenly shook, and his nose suddenly felt sore for no reason. He endured it and walked to Liu Bei and helped him up. Then he looked Liu Bei up and held Liu Bei's hand tightly.

"Now, the only people in the world that I can fully trust are those with the surname Liu. Xuande is a promising man. At this time, he should give full play to his talents. It would be a waste of his talents to serve as a minor official in Jizhou!"

Liu Bei was shocked and said quickly, "I am just a dull person, how can I receive such praise from Your Majesty?"

Liu Xie shook his head and said with a smile: "If Xuande had not played a role at the critical moment, I am afraid I would have fallen into the hands of the thieves. But for this contribution, I cannot treat you unfairly."

Liu Bei quickly cupped his hands and said, "I dare not take credit for this."

Liu Xie sighed and said quietly, "Xuan De, why do you have to be like this? I am in a difficult situation and I need help. Don't you, a relative of the Han Dynasty, want to serve me?"

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and immediately knelt on the ground again: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. My lifelong wish is to support the Han Dynasty. As long as Your Majesty needs me, I swear to follow you through life and death!"

Liu Xie then smiled and said, "That's great. I will call all the officials to discuss and choose an important position for Xuande so that he can make the best use of his talents."

Liu Bei was surprised and happy, and kept saying "Thank you, Your Majesty".
