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

Chapter 750 Uncle, I'm leaving
The emperor's personal expedition was decided, but Liu Bei felt that there was something wrong with Liu Xie's personnel arrangements.

He had no objection to the other personnel, but he felt that the military supervisor was inappropriate.

Liu Bei, who almost watched Liu Xie grow up, knew Liu Xie's character well. He reminded Liu Xie to value the lives of his soldiers and not to act rashly, and he believed that Liu Xie had listened to his words.

But, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Who hasn’t had an impulsive experience when they were young?

Liu Bei still felt unsafe just letting the veteran generals Qian Zhao and Tian Yu, who had been stationed at the border for many years, assist Liu Xie. Qian Zhao and Tian Yu were his good friends, and Liu Xie might respect Qian Zhao and Tian Yu for their sake. Under normal circumstances, he would also listen to Qian Zhao and Tian Yu's advice. What if an accident happened? Could Qian Zhao and Tian Yu still stop Liu Xie?
As for Huang Quan, Xiang Chong, Guan Xing, and Zhang Bao, these wise ministers are probably more like good friends and brothers in the eyes of the emperor.
If tens of thousands of soldiers died because of this incident, tens of thousands of families would be grieved!
Therefore, we must take precautions before it happens.

Looking around the court, who else can take on this important task?

Liu Bei looked around and his eyes finally locked on his old brother Zhao Yun.

In terms of closeness, Zilong is not a brother but is better than a brother. The third brother mentioned more than once in front of the emperor that Zilong is the fourth brother; in terms of status, Zilong is the most powerful general with the highest official title and rank in the world; in terms of talent, Zilong is both civil and martial; in terms of virtue, Zilong's virtue is no less than that of the prime minister!

For others, Zhao Yun’s biggest problem is that he has made too many contributions.

Not only did he have great military achievements, he also cultivated high-yield rice with Jian Yong, which was simply incredible.

Is it a problem for Liu Bei to have great contributions?

A great achievement that shocks the master?

If anyone dares to mention Zhao Yun's great achievements in front of him, he will let the other person know how to write the word "Wu" in "Wufu of Zhuo County"!
So the question is, would Zhao Yun be willing?
Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun read Liu Bei's thoughts from his eyes. He nodded vigorously without hesitation.

Liu Bei understood, and he said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, I think it would be better to let General Zuo serve as the military supervisor."

What? General Zuo?!

Liu Xie's heart trembled, and joy suddenly surged out of his heart. He immediately raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Yun with burning gaze, his mouth corners crooked with a smile.

Blood-stained battle robes penetrated through the armor, who dared to fight against me in Dangyang! Since ancient times, the only one who rushed into battle to support his lord in danger was Zhao Zilong of Changshan!
The courage of the fourth uncle is no less than that of the second and third uncles! With the help of the fourth uncle, I am invincible!

"Cough cough." Liu Bei coughed lightly a few times.

Liu Xie then realized that he had lost his composure just now. He withdrew his gaze awkwardly and turned to look at Liu Bei. His eyes were filled with emotion. The one who understands me is my uncle!
Liu Xie suddenly realized that he had not yet confirmed Zhao Yun's position as military supervisor, and he hurriedly said, "Appoint General Zuo Zhao Yun as military supervisor!"

Later, he gave Zhao Yun land, houses, jade and gold, but Zhao Yun declined them all.

Liu Xie sighed in his heart: He is worthy of being my fourth uncle.

At this point, the personnel who would go on the expedition were determined.

Thanks to the efficient transportation network, the imperial edict quickly reached Qian Zhao and Tian Yu.

The moment he learned of the imperial edict, even a calm and composed Tian Yu was shocked. What was going on? Your Majesty wanted to go to war in person? Didn't Brother Xuande stop him? Huh? Why did Brother Xuande strongly support Your Majesty? Wait a minute, this seems quite normal.
After a brief hesitation, Qian Zhao and Tian Yu quickly calmed down.

What they were most worried about was whether Huo Jun and Li Hui could take over the position of stabilizing the border, guarding and pacifying the barbarians. When handing over the tasks, the two of them spontaneously negotiated with Huo Jun and Li Hui.

The more I talk about Qian Zhao and Tian Yu, the more I am shocked. Incredible, incredible! Zhong Miao/De'ang is a rare talent! Are all the court officials nowadays so powerful?
Upon asking Qian Zhao and Tian Yu, they suddenly realized what was going on. They were both at a loss whether to laugh or cry. After all this time, they realized that Zhong Miao/De'ang was the person strongly recommended by Brother Xuande. Why would they have gone through all this trouble if they had just said it earlier?

The two men put aside their last bit of worry, packed their bags and rushed to Chang'an.

All the way from Bingzhou and Youzhou, Qian Zhao and Tian Yu's smiles never fell, and their faces were smiling more and more, especially when they saw the curling smoke rising from the window while riding on the train, they both sighed from the bottom of their hearts, "It's great."

After getting off the train, Qian Zhao and Tian Yu walked out of the station, neither of them expecting to meet each other.

An unexpected yet reasonable voice appeared in my ears.

"Zi Jing!"

"Guo Rang!"

This voice is Brother Xuande!
Qian Zhao and Tian Yu were delighted, and when they looked carefully they saw that it was indeed Liu Bei and Liu Xie.

The two wanted to salute, but Liu Xie waved his hand and said with a smile: "Generals, my surname is Jian and my name is Li." He then smiled and introduced Liu Bei beside him, "This is my uncle, his name is Jian Liang."

Qian Zhao and Tian Yu understood that the man had come here to hide his identity.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Zijing, Guorang, there are no strangers here, so you should just call me by my courtesy name."

Qian Zhao and Tian Yu didn't act pretentiously and started calling him "Brother Xuande" all the time.

The four of them talked and laughed. Qian Zhao and Tian Yu talked a lot about things in Bingzhou and Youzhou, and Liu Xie was quite interested in what they heard.

Liu Bei instructed: "Zijing, Guorang, I will need your help in this expedition."

"Hey, what are you talking about, Brother Xuande? We will certainly assist His Majesty with all our strength. Don't worry about it." Qian Zhao waved his hand to indicate that it was no big deal.

Tian Yu said calmly: "Brother Xuande, don't worry."

Liu Bei personally sent Qian Zhao and Tian Yu back to their respective homes. After exchanging some greetings, he turned around to prepare for the expedition.

After a month of preparation, everything is ready.

On the parade ground outside the city, Liu Xie, who was standing on the high platform, was so excited that he could even hear the violent beating of his heart in his chest.

He knew that he could not show it at this moment. Facing tens of thousands of troops, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "I have received the mandate of heaven, and I rule the four seas. The four barbarians are submissive. I have worked hard for decades. Now I hear that the rebels in the south of India are rebelling and insulting the Han Dynasty. It is really hateful! If the barbarians are not allowed to see the power of the Han Dynasty, the barbarians will dare to rebel today and harass the Han territory tomorrow! Soldiers of the three armies listen to my order. At noon tomorrow, burn incense to pray to heaven and beat drums to move out of camp. When the day comes for the horses to drink from the Ganges, I will take off my battle robe and drink with you, so that the barbarians in India will know the color of the Han flags!"

"Send a message to the three armies, march west tomorrow!"

The moment the words fell, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted: "March west! March west!"

The sound was so great that it resounded throughout the world.

夜

Liu Xie moved to the Prince of Yan's mansion. The gatekeeper wanted to report to Liu Bei, but was stopped by Liu Xie.

Liu Xie walked towards Liu Bei's study, intending to take a last look at Liu Bei through the window, but he was noticed by Liu Bei as soon as he got close.

"Your Majesty, please come in."

Liu Xie smiled awkwardly and pushed the door open and walked into the study.

"Uncle, it's so late, why are you still busy? What are you busy with?"

"Now that the Han Dynasty is prosperous, we can focus on solving many bad customs and habits."

Liu Xie thought to himself, it turns out to be such a trivial matter.

But he did not reveal his true thoughts, he just nodded and said: "As long as the emperor uncle wants to do something, it will be done."

Liu Bei did not take up the topic. He smiled and asked, "What is the purpose of your visit, Your Majesty?"

Liu Xie wanted to say, "I am here to say goodbye to my uncle," but then he thought it was very strange and changed his words to, "I am here to accompany my uncle."

After saying this, Liu Xie sat down next to Liu Bei, and while sitting there he fell into a deep sleep.

Liu Bei laughed in silence and gently carried Liu Xie to the bed in the room and put him down.

The next morning, Liu Xie, who had wanted to say goodbye to Liu Bei, learned that Liu Bei had been working on official business late into the night, and immediately gave up the idea.

It’s better not to disturb the emperor’s uncle.

Liu Xie looked towards Liu Bei's room and said softly, "Uncle, I'm leaving."

Little did they know that Liu Bei had not slept all night.
