Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 55 Liu Xie: Fengxian is a loyal and honest man!
Liu Bei finally captured Pei County.

No matter what method he used, as long as the result matched, Yan Liang and Wen Chou would have no reason to kill him.

Because of the military order, if they openly violated it, they would be tarnishing Yuan Shao's reputation and would be punished when they returned.

So no matter how unwilling they were, they had no choice but to give up.

After Yan Liang and Wen Chou left the Shanzi Camp with their soldiers, Liu Bei, who had escaped death, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still a little frightened.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Guan Yu helped Liu Bei up and asked with concern.

Liu Bei breathed slightly, said nothing, and was still trying to calm himself down.

Almost, just a little bit.

He was about to meet the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty.

This was the closest he had ever been to death!
"I didn't expect that thief Lu Bu would actually be willing to return Pei County. He is quite loyal. Next time I see him, I will poke him in fewer holes."

It was a rare occasion that Zhang Fei said something good about Lu Bu.

After all, if Lu Bu had not withdrawn his troops and returned Pei County, they would have really died here.

Liu Bei also sighed: "Lü Bu is still loyal to Your Majesty. Although his character is fickle, he is still a loyal minister."

He actually wanted to take a gamble this time, but judging from the result, he was right in his gamble, and Lu Bu was still loyal to the emperor in his heart.

That's enough.

After expressing his feelings, Liu Bei stood up and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, "Let's go back to Pei County first."

The two nodded and followed him.

……

The news that Liu Bei had captured Pei County soon spread back to Yecheng.

Liu Xie learned the news from Guo Jia. After hearing it, he was stunned for a long time and then gave a classic two-word evaluation.

"Bull and force it."

Apart from this, Liu Xie couldn't think of any other way to express his feelings.

Five thousand soldiers in ten days.

Did Liu Bei actually take over Pei County?
No one would believe it if you said it wasn’t opened.

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Pei County was not taken by Liu Bei through force, but by a trick. He wrote a letter to Lu Bu to get it back."

Liu Xie was even more confused after hearing this and asked, "Why would Lü Bu return the city he had taken to Liu Bei? Are they so close? This doesn't make sense."

Although he knew that Liu Bei was very good at persuasion, it was still a little unbelievable that he could get Lu Bu to hand over a city with just a letter.

"Although Liu Bei did not explain how he persuaded Lu Bu, I guess he probably borrowed your Majesty's name."

Guo Jia analyzed calmly, "Liu Bei has no capital to threaten or negotiate with Lu Bu. The only thing he can borrow is the name of Your Majesty."

"Although Lu Bu has no great ambitions and a fickle personality, he is very respectful to you, Your Majesty, and you have been kind enough to support him."

"So if Liu Bei borrows your name to ask Lu Bu to hand over Pei County, Lu Bu may agree."

This is the power of smart people, they can know the whole picture by seeing a small part.

Although it is slightly different from the actual facts, it is pretty close.

After listening to this, Liu Xie sighed: "Fengxian is a loyal and honest man!"

These words came from his heart.

Although people in later generations often called Lu Bu a villain, a slave of three surnames... bah, a slave of three surnames and so on, but when Liu Xie looked at Lu Bu's life from a God's perspective, he found that Lu Bu did the work of a loyal minister, and he really did it.

Ding Yuan wanted to establish Liu Bian, but Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan.

When Dong Zhuo was causing chaos in the imperial court, Lü Bu killed him. When Guo Si and Li Jue, Dong Zhuo's former subordinates, attacked Chang'an, Lü Bu attacked them.

When Cao Cao used the emperor to control the princes, Lu Bu attacked Cao Cao.

And although Lu Bu fought wars everywhere in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he did so without strategy. He fought against all the enemies of the emperor, and in the end he was killed by the treacherous minister Cao Cao.

Even now, when Liu Bei used the name of the emperor to ask him to hand over Pei County, he did it obediently without any complaints.

If this is not called a loyal minister, then what is a loyal minister?

He declared that Lu Fengxian was the most loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!

Guo Jia also nodded in agreement and said, "Lü Bu can indeed be won over. Maybe we can use his power to defeat Yuan Shao in the future."

"Speaking of this."

Liu Xie remembered something and asked Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, last time you talked about alienating Yuan Shao's sons, how is the progress now?"

"What is the current situation?"

He was deeply impressed by the three strategies proposed by Guo Jia last time.

After deciding to adopt the middle strategy, Guo Jia was asked to do it. I heard a while ago that Yuan Shao's two sons returned to Yecheng, and I don't know whether Guo Jia has started to take action.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already started to contact Yuan Shang. Yuan Shao's three sons are incompatible with each other. I am just adding fuel to the fire."

All we can say is that Guo Jia is worthy of being Guo Jia. The title of model worker belongs to him, which gave Liu Xie a positive answer.

Guo Jia said: "Yuan Shao is now recuperating from illness, so he has divided the city affairs between Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang. On the one hand, he wants to test the abilities of his two sons, and on the other hand, he wants to see the attitudes of his subordinates and see which son they prefer."

"Among them, Shen Pei and Feng Ji supported Yuan Shang, while Guo Tu and Xu You were more inclined towards Yuan Xi."

"Tian Feng and Ju Shou hold a neutral attitude, but to be more precise, they prefer Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, but Yuan Tan is currently leading troops to guard Qingzhou."

Guo Jia gave Liu Xie a brief account of the current situation.

Then he talked about his plans.

"Yuan Shang is Yuan Shao's youngest son and the one Yuan Shao loves the most, but he is too young and immature, and his personality is also quite impulsive."

"I have already gained Yuan Shang's trust. Next, I will further alienate the relationship between the two brothers and make them fight each other."

"It's a pity that Yuan Tan is not here, otherwise the situation would be even more chaotic if the three brothers fought each other."

Guo Jia could not hide his regret in his words.

He hoped that all three of Yuan Shao's sons were present, so that they could be caught in one fell swoop, without any fish slipping through the net and having to deal with them later.

After listening to this, Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly, and he mourned for the two brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi in his heart for a while.

You are so unlucky to be targeted by such a smart and treacherous person.

"Come on, Fengxiao. I'm rooting for you."

Liu Xie encouraged Guo Jia with a smile.

Apart from spiritual encouragement, he can't give Guo Jia any help now. Since he is a newbie, he should just lie down and get some points while watching the big guys show off their skills.

Random commands and blindly setting the pace will only lead to collapse.

Although Guo Jia did not understand what "Come on" meant, he could tell it was a word of encouragement, so he nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Leave everything to me!"

After saying this, Guo Jia stood up and left.

Looking at him striding away, Liu Xie felt that his back was tall and majestic, and a sense of security arose in his heart.

"It's great to be a jerk."

Liu Xie said with emotion.
