Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 453 Liu Bei's Sorrow
Zhao Yun watched the fight between the two and felt both amused and helpless. Just as he was about to sit down, he saw Liu Bei coming over and hurried over to greet him.

"No need to be so polite, Zilong."

Liu Bei, with his signature smile on his face, helped Zhao Yun up.

He turned his head and looked at Deng Yuan and Zhao Ying, and couldn't help laughing.

"Oh? Are you two so interested in learning how to use your spear here?"

With the appearance of Liu Bei, the two naturally could not fight anymore.

After Zhao Ying put away his spear and saluted Liu Bei, he walked away angrily, leaving Liu Bei somewhat confused.

"This... is it because I disturbed the pleasure of your discussion that made Miss Zhao so angry?"

Zhao Yun came over and explained, "This matter has nothing to do with General Liu. They were just angry with each other. It's just right to interrupt them."

When Liu Bei heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I wonder what advice General Liu has for you, since you have come?"

Zhao Yun asked.

"I don't deserve your advice, but I have heard that you two are heroes, and I admire you so much that I came to see you."

"General Liu shows me kindness, Yun Busheng is not afraid."

"You're welcome. You're also surnamed Liu and a member of the royal family. You have such a unique vision. From this, we can see what a hero the general is."

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this: "The general's character, martial arts, wisdom, and vision are all first-rate. How can a humble man like me compare with him? Hero Deng is joking. Come, please take a seat, heroes."

The three of them sat down directly on the rockery next to the training ground.

"When I traveled to various states, I also heard about the three brothers of General Liu, who wiped out the Yellow Turbans, appeased the people, and performed benevolent and righteous deeds. There are many similarities between them and what the general did in Bingzhou. It seems that if we want to pacify the world, we have to rely on the relatives of the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shao and others are really far from being reliable. They are unreliable, unreliable."

Deng Yuan's few words made Liu Bei say that he was not worthy of the honor.

"You two are both extremely brave and are truly extraordinary men. Now that you can serve the court and make contributions to the country, it is truly a blessing for the people and the country."

He said this with great sincerity, which moved Zhao Yun and Deng Yuan.

"General Liu has a kind heart. It seems that the people of Shangdang County will have a good life."

Zhao Yun sighed with relief on his face.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't say it. After he said this, Liu Bei's face suddenly became a little gloomy.

"Ugh……"

The two were a little surprised. They were talking just fine, so why did Liu Bei suddenly sigh?

"General Liu, what are you doing..."

Liu Bei glanced at the two of them, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, which made Deng Yuan anxious.

"Hey, man, if you have something to say, just say it. Why hesitate?"

Liu Bei patted his thigh and sighed, "I am unworthy to be a relative of the Han royal family. During this time of national crisis, I have not achieved anything. I cannot punish the traitors, nor can I bring peace to the people. I am truly ashamed of my ancestors." He spoke so sadly that tears and snot flowed down together.

Zhao Yun felt some sympathy for him and tried to comfort him, "General, don't blame yourself. Since you are a hero, there will always be a place where you can be useful. Besides, the general has appointed you as the governor of Shangdang County. Isn't this a good opportunity for you, General?"

"Yes, I think that Yuan Shao of Bohai is ambitious and not a good person. He will have some plans sooner or later. General, you can reorganize the army and improve the military in Shangdang, appease the people's livelihood, and defend the court against Yuan Shao. You will definitely be able to realize your ambitions."

Liu Bei looked at Deng Yuan in surprise. He obviously didn't expect that someone as carefree as him could come up with such a statement.

"Oh, I didn't expect Deng Yingxiong to have such insight. I am really impressed by him."

Deng Yuan grinned: "Hey, it's just a small matter, just a small matter."

Zhao Yun said, "Zi Yang is right. Shangdang County is richer than Taiyuan County in Bingzhou. It is comparable to Yanmen County. It has hundreds of thousands of people and the natural barrier of Huguan Pass. General, you can recruit soldiers and store food and grass here. You will have a great time in the future. You have two sworn brothers to help you and the general to support you. You will have no problem making achievements. Why worry?"

What the two men said made sense, but Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged and the gloomy cloud over his face remained.

"My second brother is good at commanding the army, and my third brother is very brave, but Yuan Shao is so powerful, and he has many generals under his command. Shangdang faces Jizhou directly. It is really difficult for the three of us to protect the people here."

Deng Yuan nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense. I've heard that Yuan Shao has been secretly in Jizhou for many years, and he has won over many powerful families there, including some military families. The children of the Wen and Yan families are the most outstanding. It is rumored that the most outstanding young men in martial arts are Wen Chou and Yan Liang, both of whom are brave enough to fight against ten thousand men. If they really launch a surprise attack, the general will not be able to rescue them in time, and Shangdang will be difficult to protect."

Zhao Yun asked curiously, "Oh? How good are these two in martial arts? Has Ziyang ever seen them?"

Deng Yuan shook his head and said, "I have never seen them. But it is said that the two of them are invincible in Jizhou and have never had any rivals. There are many famous scholars and heroes in Jizhou. Even if it is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show that the two are extraordinary."

He suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Of course, compared to Brother Zilong, I am definitely not as good, haha."

"Brother Ziyang, you are overpraising me. Yun is just an unknown person in Changshan. I dare not compare myself with the famous people in the world."

Deng Yuan turned around and continued to say to Liu Bei: "General Liu is so concerned about state affairs, which is admirable. However, the general has many famous generals under his command, why not ask for help from him? I think General Gao is very capable of commanding troops. If he can stay and help, Shangdang will be as solid as an iron barrel. Yuan Shao is nothing to him."

Liu Bei looked dejected. "Alas, although I have this intention, General Gao Shun is the general's favorite general. In the future, he will be indispensable in the conquests and pacification of the princes. How can I mess up the general's plan?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun and Deng Yuan nodded in agreement.

"That's true."

Liu Bei let out a long breath and forced a smile.

"Alas, I was so emotional that I talked too much and ruined your interest. Thank you for taking the trouble to chat with me for so long. It is time for me to leave. During Zhang Yang's tenure, he harmed the people and caused great harm. I was trusted by the court and succeeded as the governor. Now I will repay his kindness by crushing myself to pieces. Farewell."

He stood up, said goodbye to the two of them, and left alone. His figure looked quite lonely.

"It is not without reason that Liu Xuande is so highly valued by the general."

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Bei's back and sighed.

"Well, if the general is not here, this Lord Xuande must be a powerful leader in this chaotic world. When General Gao and I meet the general in a few days, you and I might as well mention it to the general. I think the general will make some arrangements."

"With over 10,000 soldiers, it is indeed difficult for the three brothers of Lord Xuande to defend Shangdang. However, the general is very careful in his work. Judging from Yun Yun, he must have made some arrangements. Maybe he has already found generals to come to help."

"Zilong is right. Never mind. These things are not something you and I can worry about. Come on, let's continue the competition. Competing with Zilong is one of the greatest pleasures in life."

"Haha, Ziyang, since you are so kind, I won't be polite."
