Chapter 83: Liu Bei's Hope?
Jian Yong received Cao Cao's promise and returned to Guangling City happily.
Liu Bei was discussing with his civil and military personnel how long it could last. Suddenly, he heard that Jian Yong was back and immediately stood up and went outside the county government to greet him.
Jian Yong and the two servants rode a horse, three of them were covered in dust, with a tired and haggard face.
Seeing Liu Bei and others greeting him outside the county government office, Jian Yong quickly turned over and dismounted, strode forward, and then bowed to the end and said, "Lord! Yong Xing has not humiliated his orders, and has asked Cao Cao to send troops to Xuzhou to attack Cao Bao!"
Liu Bei suddenly heard that Cao Cao had agreed to send troops, but he did not show any obvious happy expression.
He strode to Jian Yong, pulled Jian Yong's arm and helped him up. Looking at Jian Yong who had lost weight significantly, Liu Bei said in a heavy tone: "Thank you hard to keep on the way!"
Jian Yong remembered the hardships of the journey. He was almost killed by the bandits after less than two hours of sleep a day. He immediately swallowed something in his tone and returned: "It's not hard, as long as the lord can retake Xuzhou, it's all worth it!"
Liu Bei nodded and said nothing.
He personally helped Jian Yong into the county government, settled him in his seat and sat down before asking: "When will Cao Cao send troops?"
After recalling it, Jian Yong replied: "It should have sent troops on the way back!"
"So fast? Doesn't he need to prepare?" Guan Yu asked in confusion.
"No, the second general, Cao Cao was probably ready to send troops before I arrived." Jian Yong returned.
"Where is he going to send troops?" Zhang Fei asked with wide eyes.
"Accumulate Yuan Shu!" This is what Cao Cao told Jian Yong, but Jian Yong would not be so naive that he believed it. "But I think Cao Cao must have the idea of sending troops to Xuzhou. He was a little unsteady when he sent troops first."
"Then let's ask him to send troops to attack Cao Bao, wouldn't it be true that Cao Cao's thoughts?"
Zhang Fei's words made the chamber silence.
Mi Zhu smiled bitterly and said, "Please ask Cao Cao to send troops, we still have a hope to retake Xuzhou; if we don't invite, we will have no hope."
"The lord is the governor of Xuzhou personally granted by the imperial court. For the sake of fame, Cao Cao would not dare to harm him even if he wanted to embezzle Xuzhou." Sun Qian also expressed his own opinion at this time, and he continued: "If the plan is done properly, we may continue to take charge of Xuzhou. As long as the lord hides his strength during this period, he secretly accumulates strength. When the world changes, we can take advantage of the situation!"
"There is a change in the world..." Liu Bei seemed to see hope again, bowed and asked Sun Qian: "Please give me advice!"
"I dare not take it!" After Sun Qian replied, he thought about the language before he spoke: "I heard a piece of news from a merchant today that General Gongsun from the north had been besieged by Yuan Shao in Yijing Building, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated."
When everyone heard this, they sighed to varying degrees.
Thinking back to the time when Gongsun Zan asked people for territory and territory to Liu Bei, it was really the most righteous.
However, Liu Bei extended a helping hand several times when Gongsun Zan was in danger, and he also forgot to repay Gongsun Zan's kindness.
Later, Gongsun Zan refused to listen to Liu Bei's advice, and his defeat was a result of his own fault.
Liu Bei sighed in his heart. He played a good hand with great cards and was really regretful of his old classmate's experience.
But now he is unable to protect himself and he is indeed unable to help Gongsun Zan.
Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to him again, Sun Gan continued to say: "When Gongsun was defeated, Yuan Shao could unify the north. At that time, whether it was Cao Cao from Yanzhou or Lu Bu from Qingzhou, they would become a stumbling block for Yuan Shao to sweep the world!"
Liu Bei suddenly realized, then looked at Sun Gan with a radiant look and asked, "At that time, Cao Cao and Lu Bu will have no time to care about us, and the opportunity that belongs to us will come!"
"Lord is wise!" Sun Gan smiled and bowed his hand to compliment.
The big problem has been solved and the future direction has also been found. Not only Liu Bei, but everyone present has also relaxed.
In order to activate the atmosphere, Jian Yong suddenly said to Liu Bei: "Lord, I heard a very interesting rumor when I was in Yanzhou."
"Oh? Let's hear it!" Liu Bei's interest was immediately aroused.
After clearing his throat, Jian Yong said: "It is rumored that Lu Yan and Lu Bu are both masters of the innate realm..."
"Didn't this rumor have existed long ago?" Zhang Fei was impatient and interrupted before Jian Yong finished speaking, "And he was originally innate, you just don't believe it..."
Jian Yong ignored Zhang Fei. They were too familiar with each other and didn't need to be polite.
After glaring at Zhang Fei, Jian Yong continued, "But the way Lu Yan and Lu Bu entered the innate realm is very different!"
"Huh?" Even Mr. Guan Er, who closed his eyes and rested, was hung up.
Seeing that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were staring at him, Jian Yong did not dare to keep him in a silence and went straight to the point, "Lu Bu entered the innate energy to absorb the innate energy between heaven and earth; while Lu Yan entered the innate because of the innate skill he had practiced since childhood!"
"Innate Ability!!!"
It's awesome to hear this name!
"But!" Just as everyone was discussing the innate qi with great interest, Jian Yong said loudly: "If this innate qi wants to cultivate the innate qi, there is a rule that must be followed!" However, when the key point was said, Jian Yong stopped again.
"Tell me quickly! I will keep you in hiding if I don't get you drunk today!"
After being threatened by Zhang Fei, Jian Yong smiled awkwardly, "The rule is to keep the body of a boy!"
As soon as Jian Yong said, the scene suddenly fell into a strange silence...
"There is also such a skill?" After a long time, someone finally expressed everyone's thoughts.
"If it is not a boy's body, even if you practice innate skills, you cannot cultivate innate true qi. If you have already cultivated innate true qi and later lose your boy's body, you will also lose innate true qi and fall from the innate realm."
"This price is a bit too high!" Liu Bei sighed and said, "With this happening, will Lu Yan have no descendants?"
"Brother, for a warrior, he can give up everything for the pursuit of martial arts!" Guan Yu suddenly replied.
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu when he heard this, but was shocked by Guan Yu's eyes that had become bright at some point.
However, Liu Bei was so cunning that he could hardly see any abnormalities on the surface.
Zhang Fei kept nodding, obviously agreeing with Guan Yu's words very much, "If I hadn't broken my body early, I would have wanted to learn some innate skills!"
"Vulgar words!"
"The third general is so charming!"
Zhang Fei looked at the people around him with a provocative look, as if he didn't care about the disgusting and joking eyes of the people around him.
Although Liu Bei didn't quite understand the ideas of these pure warriors, he did not refute them.
"I never thought that the young scholar who had a quick glance outside the Sishui Pass was the most incredible sage in this world..."
Speaking of this, Liu Bei said in a deep overview: "Cao Cao was assisted by Lu Yan at the beginning of his rebellion. He is really... envious of others!"
