When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 220: Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! (4k)

"Excuse me, are you Liu Xuande, Marquis of Xixiang?"

The surging male voice echoed through the clouds, and even the curtains seemed to be lifted by it. When the carriage stopped, Le Yin, who was sitting in the carriage, became curious, but he thought he had encountered bandits and robbers, and was afraid that he, with his mediocre martial arts, would add burden to Liu Bei, so he hid in the carriage. But now it seems.
"Zijing, did you hear that? It doesn't seem like we were encountered by robbers." He looked at Qian Zhao.

Qian Zhao guessed Le Yin's thoughts at a glance, and he said with a smile: "Musician, why don't you and I go down and find out what's going on?"

"That's great." Le Yin nodded.

The two men got out of the car and looked around, only to see a group of barbarians kneeling down.

This is novel.

The master and the disciple looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

Looking more closely, soldiers holding guns and swords emerged from the bare forest, holding up fluttering flags with heavy ink and colors on them.
"Towards?"

Qian Zhao read out the words on the flag.

Just when Qian Zhao was confused, he felt his sleeve being pulled again and again by Le Yin.

"Musician, what's wrong?"

"Zijing" Le Yin put his mouth close to Qian Zhao's ear and whispered: "Look, the Lord seems a little weird."

weird?

Hearing the voice, Qian Zhao's eyes immediately turned to Liu Bei. He saw Liu Bei standing straight in the same place, just like the wooden pole with a wine flag in front of a tavern.

This successfully aroused Qian Zhao's curiosity. What could have made a street-dwelling brother like him become so dazed?
Could it be that some stunningly beautiful woman has come?
Shaking his head, Qian Zhao threw this unrealistic idea out of his mind. He smiled at Le Yin and said, "Master Musician, why don't we go take a look ahead?"

"This," Le Yin asked worriedly, "Will the Lord blame me?"

Qian Zhao smiled, "Musician, Xuande, as a noble, personally led you down from the carriage, how could he care about such a trivial matter?"

"What you say makes sense, what you say makes sense"

Qian Zhao and Le Yin walked to Liu Bei's side. Wang Yue, who was following Liu Bei, glanced at the two of them. Without saying anything, he silently moved to the side to make room for Le Yin and Qian Zhao.

Wang Yue has always respected great scholars, let alone Le Yin, the deputy driver.

only.
Wang Yue looked at the two people walking in front of him, one was wearing a feather fan and a scarf, and the other was wearing armor and holding a sharp weapon. But the strange thing was that the young man dressed as a scholar had a steely and resolute face, while the young man who looked like a military general had a bookish air.

Could it be that these two people are wearing the wrong clothes?

A strange thought came to Wang Yue's mind, and his eyes glanced at Liu Bei uncontrollably, trying to ask Liu Bei's opinion, but he accidentally saw the complicated expression on his immediate superior's face.

Was it the joy of reunion that he had never seen before? Was it the sadness of the passing of time?

It seems that neither.
But what he could be sure of was that Liu Bei valued these two people particularly.

"I feel like Mr. Xu's position as the deputy driver won't last long."

"What are you talking about, Wang Jun?"

Just as Wang Yue was muttering, Qian Zhao's head suddenly came over.

"Hahaha, nothing, nothing to say," Wang Yue laughed.

Qian Zhao cleared his throat, "My Lord, I can't pretend I didn't hear anything."

"Brother Zijing, what do you mean?" Wang Yue glanced at Qian Zhao, then at Le Yin, and seemed to have guessed Qian Zhao's intention. He chose to surrender, "Brother Zijing, if you have any questions, just ask."

"Hehe." Qian Zhao looked like he had succeeded in his evil plan, but he lowered his voice and asked, "Lord Wang, what happened just now?"

"What happened? To be honest, I was chatting and laughing with you, but unexpectedly a few Shanyue barbarians appeared and kept knocking on your door to thank you. I was just wondering, it turns out that there were pursuers behind us."

"what's the situation?"

Even Qian Zhao was confused. When he learned that Liu Bei was going to be the governor of Jingzhou, he almost ran all over Luoyang and asked all the scholars in Jingzhou, and finally found out the situation in Jingzhou. Wang Min, the former governor of Jingzhou, had made great contributions in suppressing bandits, but was belittled by the local big families. On the eve of his appointment, he was in trouble. The rebels occupied the county towns of Lingling, Guiyang and other large counties in the south, and there were also Wuxi barbarians, Changsha barbarians, and Ba people who were in turmoil.
Even if there had been no Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jingzhou, except for Nanyang County and Nan County, the common people would have to think twice before going out.

He originally thought that the big family wanted to give Liu Bei a warning.

But, what is the meaning of foreigners kneeling down to express their gratitude?

And slow!

A bold idea arose in my heart.

If he remembered correctly, Liu Bei had seen immortals and knew everything from ancient times to the present. Could it be that these two people would also be great talents in the future, and their friendship with Xuande was very close, even as good as mine? !
"?"

Le Yin didn't know what his disciple was thinking.

I wanted to say something, but then I thought that the teacher’s teachings are not as good as the sincere communication between good friends.

That's all, that's all. I'll have to trouble you, my lord.
"Greetings, sir. I am Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi."

"Greetings to you, my lord. I am here to greet you, Lang and Juda."

The two men walked up to Liu Bei and bowed, their words and actions being impeccable.

However, these are not what Liu Bei wants to see. The names Xiang Lang and Xiang Juda sound unfamiliar, but considering that this is the territory of Jingzhou, it is very likely that they are wise ministers who were met in his dreams.

As for
Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi.
But he is my military advisor.

Liu Bei's thoughts drifted away like the river. He looked at the two people. He believed that these two people had also been visited by immortals in his dreams.

He took a step forward, stretched out his calloused hands, grasped the two men's arms, helped them up, and said with a smile: "Hello, gentlemen. Please stand up quickly. May I ask, Mr. Juda, is Mr. Yuanzhi from Yingchuan?"

Xiang Lang and Xu Shu, who had just been helped up by Liu Bei, looked at each other and showed an expression of "as expected" on their faces.

Qian Zhao, who was watching, became more and more certain of his own thoughts. The confused Le Yin decided to listen first. Wang Yue, who was confused, became even more confused. He muttered, "What does this have to do with Yingchuan?"

Xiang Lang nodded, "That's right, I don't know why you say that."

Liu Bei slowly released their wrists, grabbed Xu Shu's hand, and said with a smile: "I have a close friend, he is from Yingchuan, and he looks exactly like you. I call him my military advisor."

"Military Advisor." Xu Shu muttered to himself as he looked at Liu Bei's face. Feeling the warmth from the other's palm, he couldn't help but feel dazzled.

He knew that he would join Liu Bei's army and become a counselor in the future.

He was full of confidence when he came, but when he really met Liu Bei, he began to back down.

Even though people around him praised him for his extraordinary talent, the fact that his good friend went missing due to his previous efforts to eradicate evil was like a nightmare that he couldn't shake off.

He was afraid that as a latecomer, he would not be able to make plans for Liu Bei.

Although he knew that Liu Bei was most likely to be inspired by an immortal in his dream, he was still somewhat worried that Liu Bei was not Liu Bei.
It seems that I am worrying too much.

"Hahaha"

Xiang Lang obviously didn't have these worries. He naturally understood what Liu Bei meant. Military advisor? He didn't call Xu Shu "military advisor" in front of Liu Bei. If he revealed Xu Shu's identity as soon as they met, wouldn't it be more certain that the immortal had sent him a dream?
He clasped his fists and said, "My Lord, that's great. Brother Yuanzhi is exactly our military advisor."

"Thanks to Military Advisor Xu, we were able to wipe out the bandits."

"Speaking of which, these people are elite soldiers among the barbarians. We have been chasing them for several days, but we never expected to meet you today, and you actually surrendered on your own."

"It seems that only you, the Lord, can quell the rebellion in Jingzhou and restore peace to Jingzhou!"

Xiang Lang's flattery really opened the eyes of Prince Qian Zhaole Yinyue. How could he flatter you, my lord? Moreover, these barbarians don't look like rebels at all. Aren't they just the remnants of the defeated army being hunted down by you?

Wang Yue couldn't help but said, "Mr. Xiang, these barbarians don't even have complete weapons. There is not a single good weapon. How can they be called the main force?"

"You are right." Xiang Lang glanced at Wang Yue, then turned around and waved at the guard behind him. The guard immediately understood and untied the sword at his waist in a lightning speed, threw it to the ground, and then pointed at the sword on the ground with his finger trembling constantly. His expression changed instantly, and he shouted in horror: "You, you are so bold that you dare to hide a dagger!"

dagger
Qian Zhao and Le Yin fell silent.

Wang Yue even closed his mouth. How could it be seen that it was a dagger?

Even Liu Bei's eyes were attracted by this man. He was secretly shocked. After General Qu, there came another soldier named Xiang Lang. It was a pity that he couldn't go to the fairyland in the future.
After a little sigh, Liu Bei laughed and said, "Well, since Mr. Yuanzhi is good at strategy, I still have a few questions that I would like to ask you to answer!"

When saying this, Liu Bei's voice was very loud, almost roaring.

Xu Shu understood Liu Bei's intention, and he shouted back, "Please try to explain it to me, sir."

"good!"

In front of thousands of people, Liu Bei asked Xu Shu about issues related to military training and marching logistics, and Xu Shu answered them one by one.

After that, Xu Shu asked, "I wonder if my answer can solve your doubts."

Liu Bei did not answer immediately. He looked behind him to find a supporting actor. When his eyes fell on Qian Zhao, Qian Zhao stepped forward without hesitation.

"Zijing, what do you think?"

Qian Zhao looked at Liu Bei deeply, sighed helplessly, and then praised: "Good. This gentleman is really talented!"

"Hahaha, to be able to make Zijing praise you like this, you must be quite good."

As he laughed, Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu, restrained his smile, took three steps back, folded his hands together, and bowed deeply.

Xu Shu's pupils shrank, and he quickly supported Liu Bei, saying anxiously: "What do you mean, sir? Please stand up quickly, and speak frankly if you have anything to say."

Liu Bei said sincerely: "Mr. Yuanzhi, I know you have great talent. My army is short of a military advisor, but I still have an opening for a governor."

"Governing the central government?!"

Not only Wang Yue, but also Le Yin was stunned. The Zhizhong official was in charge of the documents of the various Caos, second only to Beijia, and his power was equivalent to that of the deputy governor. Not to mention the position of military advisor given by Liu Bei, which was to give Xu Shu all the military power.

How can you trust a stranger so much?

What surprised them even more was that Xiang Lang, who came with Xu Shu, was not jealous at all. Instead, he enjoyed it so much that his mouth was grinning from ear to ear, as if he was talking to him.

You have to know that the flag shows the word "向".

According to common sense, Xiang Lang should be the primary and Xu Shu should be the secondary!
Wang Yue and Le Yin couldn't understand.

Qian Zhao was thinking, Xu Shu is so powerful? He is good at military tactics? I wonder what kind of wars he has commanded in the future. I am also somewhat confident in military tactics. Well, I must ask Xu Shu for advice in private.

Unlike the two who were shocked, Xu Shu seemed to have expected this. The heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. After a long sigh of relief, he nodded, "Shu, I agree."

"Mr. Juda."

After receiving a positive answer, Liu Bei looked at Xiang Lang.

Xiang Lang rubbed his hands secretly, it was finally my turn.

He clasped his fists and said, "Sir, you can just call me by my courtesy name."

"Juda, I've heard that talented people tend to gather more talented people around them. I see that you are good at commanding people, so I want to recruit you as an official. What do you think?"

"Hahaha, sir, I have heard of your reputation since I was in Jingzhou. Today, you have made the barbarians surrender without a fight. I am willing to serve you and be your henchman. I will obey your orders and have no second thoughts!"

"Juda, please get up quickly."

The road ahead was safer than Wang Yue and Le Yin had imagined. Along the way, the people lined the streets to welcome them, making the two of them feel as if they were an army of kings returning from a victory.

This made them wonder, is there really a rebellion in Jingzhou?

What's even more mysterious is that Xiang Lang publicized Liu Bei's surrender without a fight.

When they were about to reach Wancheng, the story spread that Liu Bei walked into the barbarian tribe alone. The tribal leader felt ashamed under Liu Bei's verbal offensive and actually tied his hands with hemp ropes and surrendered with his entire clan.

This time even Liu Bei couldn't help laughing.

"what is that?!"

Wang Yue's exclamation brought Liu Bei's thoughts to the present. He looked up and saw a dense crowd of figures appearing in front of him.

He was just about to find out what was going on.

Xiang Lang spoke up: "My Lord, the scholars of Nanyang heard that you were coming and specially waited for you in the suburbs fifty miles away from Wancheng."

"Fifty miles out of town."

After hearing this answer, Liu Bei didn't believe that there was no wise minister who responded to his dream.

He lowered his voice and asked Xiang Xianglang, "Juda, how many of these people are in a similar situation to you and Yuanzhi?"

"Not many." Xiang Lang thought for a moment, "Lai Min, Xu Ci, Huang Zhu."

"Lai Min."

Liu Bei was slightly startled when he heard the name.

Xu Shu, who was riding with him, noticed that Liu Bei looked a little upset, so he asked, "Sir, why are you so worried?"

"Yuanzhi, what is the relationship between Lai Min and Sikong Lai Yan?"

"It's Lai Yan's son."

"Son of Lai Yan."

Liu Bei had never thought that the son of the Minister of Works was also his wise minister who answered his dream. He asked casually, "Yuanzhi, what do you think of this gentleman?"

"This gentleman."

Xu Shu couldn't answer for a while. He looked at Xiang Lang, and Xiang Lang's expression became strange.

?

This made Liu Bei interested.

Seeing that Liu Bei was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Xu Shu said, "Sir, this man has a kind nature, but his mouth is a little clumsy."

“Hahahaha,” Liu Bei waved his hand, “I thought it was a serious problem, but it turned out to be just a clumsy mouth. In my eyes, it’s just a small matter!”

However, the next moment, Liu Bei regretted it.

It was just as Xiang Lang said. When they were still fifty miles away from Wancheng, they met a group of people who had been waiting for a long time. There were so many of them that it looked like an endless dense forest. Standing at the front of the team were three people in gorgeous clothes.

The moment one of them saw Liu Bei.

He shivered and lowered his head, wishing he could bury himself deeply in the soil like the ostriches in the zoo in the fairyland or the afterlife.

Liu Bei immediately jumped off his horse and wanted to say, "Sir, please get up and don't panic."

Unexpectedly, this person shouted

"I, your Majesty, come to see you!"

Liu Bei: “!!!”

　I'm sorry, everyone. I'm really not feeling well. I'm really sorry.
