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

Chapter 337 Liu Biao: Could it be that Liu Xuande is really my brother?
Liu Biao, who was on duty in the Northern Army, did not dare to delay for a moment when he received the emperor's edict. He took a step forward and headed straight for General Wei's Mansion.

It was really surprising that the emperor did not summon him into the palace but instead asked him to go and meet Liu Bei.

He had heard that the emperor relied heavily on Liu Bei, but wasn't he relying on him too much?

The decree is about taking over Liu Yu. The specific situation needs to be discussed with General Wei.
Of course, the position he took over was not the governor of Youzhou, but the governor of Youzhou. However, the governor of Youzhou was also a position of little importance, so it would certainly not be a good thing for the governor of Youzhou.

Fortunately, Liu Biao is a master who is good at adjusting his mentality. No matter what, the Governor of Youzhou is better than the Marquis of the Northern Army, right?
What's more, Youzhou is the place where General Wei's relatives live. Since General Wei left, Zhuo County has become prosperous, even he has heard of it. If it weren't for Gongsun Zan's strong army and Liu Bo'an's world-renowned reputation, it would have attracted others to get involved.

Unfortunately, Liu Bo'an and Gongsun Zan had always been at odds.
But why did the court send me to succeed Liu Bo'an?
Can I really handle it properly?
Thinking of this, Liu Biao couldn't help but become worried. Although he came from a prominent family and enjoyed a good education since childhood, it was a pity that he encountered the Party and Faction Persecution. He finally waited until the Party and Faction Persecution was lifted before he embarked on his official career. He had just become an official in the General's Mansion, but he encountered eunuchs who wanted to kill the general. He thought that the general would learn his lesson after escaping death, but he angered the public in dealing with the issue of scholars. He wanted to escape, but he encountered Dong Zhuo entering the capital.

He originally wanted to slip away, but unfortunately his reputation, the name of "Eight Talents" and his identity as a subordinate of the former general completely exposed him to Dong Zhuo's eyes. He had nowhere to escape or hide, so he had to bite the bullet and temporarily serve Dong Zhuo.

On the eve of the Luoyang fire, Liu Biao keenly smelled something wrong. Why was the former Prime Minister Dong so panicked? Just like a mouse seeing a cat, he wanted to run away immediately. Taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's distraction, he used the excuse of going out, wearing rags and linen clothes, and mingled with the common people.

Finally, Chen Dao rescued the emperor and Dong Zhuo fled.

And slow!

Liu Biao suddenly realized that he had overlooked something. Although Gongsun Bogui was unruly, he was a classmate of General Wei, and General Wei's relatives were in Zhuo County.
If we want to handle the affairs of Youzhou well, we must have the help of General Wei!
Your Majesty has good intentions!
Liu Biao's hands trembled with excitement, but his excitement came and went quickly. After a little thought, he realized that he might have misunderstood.

Since the capital was moved, the emperor has always been concerned about General Wei's opinion. The emperor probably knows very little about himself. If we talk about the people the emperor trusts the most, apart from General Wei, there are also Chen Dao, Chen Shuzhi, Guan Zhang and others. No matter how you consider it, it shouldn't be his turn.
Compared with the emperor's decision, Liu Biao would rather believe Liu Bei's advice.

The problem is that he and Liu Bei have no connection at all, the only thing they have in common is that they are both relatives of the Han Dynasty.
The more Liu Biao thought about it, the more confused he became. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the door of General Wei's mansion.

"He who comes is stopped!"

"Who are you!"

The guards' two scoldings brought Liu Biao back to the present. He took out his official seal and said, "Brave man, I am Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army, Liu Jingsheng. I have come to see General Wei on the order of the Emperor."

After questioning, the guard confirmed Liu Biao's identity and made a gesture of invitation, "General Wei has been waiting for a long time, please come in, Mr. Liu."

"Thank you."

Liu Biao clasped his fists and just now inadvertently thought of Luoyang before. Fortunately, it was all in the past and he was relieved. During Dong Zhuo's reign, not to mention the Prime Minister's Mansion, even the mansions of his brother and son-in-law, etc., there was not a single soldier in front of the door who did not accept money. Since Liu Bei took charge, he has never encountered this again.

Liu Biao shook his head and thought no more. He stepped over the threshold and entered General Wei's mansion, where he saw a lively scene. Perhaps a court meeting had been held not long ago, and General Wei's mansion was now bustling with officials busying about.

"You are Liu Jingsheng?"

The low and gentle voice drew Liu Biao's attention back to the present. He found a man walking quickly. This man was wearing a robe and had big ears.
The guard introduced: "Mr. Liu, this is General Wei."

"General Wei, this gentleman is Liu Jingsheng, the Marquis of the Northern Army." Even though Liu Biao guessed that the person in front of him was Liu Bei, when the truth was revealed, he couldn't help but feel it was not real.

"You are older than me. May I call you brother?"

After these words came out, not only Liu Biao, but even the officials who were passing by cast doubtful eyes. Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei with even more worry, thinking secretly: Why is Xuande like this? Xuande has never met Liu Jingsheng.
"General Wei is the emperor's uncle." Liu Biao was shocked. He was about to refuse, but when he saw Liu Bei looked disappointed, he thought he couldn't make enemies with General Wei, so he changed his words and said, "It's my honor."

"Good." Liu Bei was delighted, but also a little guilty. He said, "I was busy with official duties just now, so I didn't go out to greet you in person. I hope you can forgive me."

This look of apology made Liu Biao stunned. He had lived to such an old age and had seen everything. It would be an exaggeration to say that it was easy to tell whether a person was lying or not, but it was not difficult. But why, why didn't Liu Bei seem to be lying and even called him brother? He even smelled a sense of gratitude from it.
Weird, weird.

Not only did I not help General Wei at all, but now I have to ask General Wei for help.
Why?
Liu Biao couldn't figure it out and was at a loss for a moment.

Liu Bei looked at the middle-aged Liu Biao and felt deeply moved. He was truly grateful to Liu Biao. Liu Biao took him in and treated him very well. He even entrusted Jingzhou to him before he died of illness.

It is right to call you brother.

"This is not the place to talk, brother, please follow me."

While Liu Biao was in a daze, Liu Bei held his wrist and walked into the guest house together. He felt a little dizzy until he sat down on the chair.

"Brother, the situation in Youzhou is unusual. Liu Bo'an and Gongsun Bogui have been at odds for a long time. You are the only one among the royal family members who can be qualified to be the governor of Youzhou, so I recommend you to Your Majesty. However, it will be difficult before this. If you are unwilling, I would like to write to Your Majesty to let you serve as the governor of a county in Jingzhou. If you are willing."

Liu Bei made his words clear and straightforward. It is hard to say who is better, the Governor of Youzhou or the Governor of a county in Jingzhou.

After years of governance, Jingzhou has become more prosperous than before, which is unfamiliar to people.

On the other hand, even the Governor of Youzhou and the Governor of Youzhou could not suppress Gongsun Bogui, let alone the Governor?

Seeing Liu Bei's attitude today, Liu Biao believed that even if he was selected as a governor, with Liu Bei's care, his career would be smooth sailing.
The question is, is his ambition to pursue a career in politics?

Liu Biao fell silent and Liu Bei did not make a sound to disturb him.

After a few breaths, Liu Biao exhaled a breath of foul air. He looked into Liu Bei's eyes and said seriously: "I am willing to take over Liu Bo'an."

"Good!" Liu Bei seemed to have expected this and actually laughed out loud.

After Liu Bei finished laughing, Liu Biao began to ask for some practical benefits. After all, the governor of Youzhou was not a good position, and a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei actually held Liu Biao's hand and said, "Brother, you go to the army and select the elite soldiers yourself. I will give you as many as you want. You don't have to worry about the food and supplies. What do you think of the Bai Li soldiers?"

Liu Biao was silent, his hands shaking constantly. He felt that everything was too unreal. Was he crazy, or was the world crazy?
Even his own brothers couldn't possibly be so nice to him, right?
Could it be that Liu Xuande is his half brother? !
