Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Although Hua Xiong was able to uphold military law in the conflict between military law and human sentiment, it is still best to have both.

Then Liu Bei divided the Xiliang cavalry, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun excitedly ran wild.

Afterwards, Cao Cao and Liu Bei talked and were pleasantly surprised to find that they shared many of the same ambitions. The more they talked, the more excited they became, almost to the point of becoming sworn brothers.

Zhang Fei shouted in a loud voice, "Brother, something bad has happened! Rumors are circulating among the allied forces that Sun Jian is secretly keeping the traditional jade seal. The alliance leader is also saying that Sun Jian has gone to the main tent. We should hurry over there too!"

"What?" Liu Bei's expression changed drastically.

Then Cao Cao's expression changed drastically.

After Chen Xi explained Li Ru's plan, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. Even now that he knew about Li Ru's plan, he still felt heartbroken, because that was the Imperial Seal.

To be honest, it was only through the previous planning that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei agreed to Chen Xi's words; otherwise, they would have slapped him across the face right now. That's the Imperial Seal, after all, and it's not even important!

By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous!

Even in modern times, if someone actually obtained the imperial seal, how many people would actually hand it over?

As usual, Liu Bei entered the allied forces, but unlike the previous friendly atmosphere, the atmosphere within the allied forces was now cold and icy.

Upon seeing Liu Bei enter, apart from a few people who gestured to him, everyone else looked wary.

Liu Bei sighed and said, "Alliance Leader Yuan, now that Luoyang has been captured and Dong Zhuo has fled, I will soon be heading to Mount Tai to take up my post. As for other matters, please keep them confidential so that Dong Zhuo of Xiliang can't laugh at us."

Upon hearing this, Ju Shou's expression shifted between light and dark. He couldn't believe that there were actually people in this world who could be designed using an imperial seal!

But that's clearly what Liu Bei meant...

Upon hearing that Liu Bei was about to withdraw from the coalition and would not hinder them but rather provide assistance, the others became enthusiastic.

Liu Bei sighed, took his seat, and exclaimed, "The Han Dynasty! The Han Dynasty!"

Afterwards, Sun Jian arrived here looking very weak.

Later, Yuan Shao revealed the truth, and Sun Jian obtained the imperial seal.

Sun Jian's betrayed personal guards came out, and Sun Jian angrily drew his sword and attacked!

The two sides were on the verge of war.

Finally, Sun Jian swore that if he obtained the imperial seal, he would have him killed by a hail of arrows and forced to retreat from the place.

"Sun Jian is doomed!" Chen Xi declared.

Liu Bei was taken aback and said, "Sun Jian is doomed? Zichuan, although I am also very angry, is this how you draft the plan?"

"Sun Jian's return to Jiangdong will require him to pass through Liu Jingzhou's territory. Liu Jingzhou is a member of the Han imperial family with 100,000 soldiers at his disposal. Not to mention Cheng Pu, Han Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao, even if Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei came, it wouldn't make a difference!"

"He swore he would die from a hail of arrows, and Liu Jingzhou would make him die from a hail of arrows. For the sake of the Han dynasty's authority, Liu Jingzhou would definitely do it!" Chen Xi said with a faint smile.

Afterwards, the group chatted casually as they walked towards Taishan County.

In the meantime, Chen Xi researched and developed a method for making salt, which he then sent to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping.

After that, they went to Yingchuan.

The army's encampment outside Yingchuan nearly scared the governor of Yangdi to death. There was no way around it; anyone would be terrified to have such elite infantry and cavalry stationed outside the city.

Afterwards, Liu Bei sent the order to transfer the general over, and Chen Liang realized that it was a false alarm. Of course, Chen Liang also knew that going to Taishan County would not get him here, but wouldn't it be foolish to say this now?

This is a regional governor who holds both military and political power, unlike a county magistrate who only has political power.

Chen Liang warmly received Liu Bei, summoned the wealthy families in the city, and treated them to a lavish meal.

As for Chen Liang's hint that he wanted more soldiers, Liu Bei just laughed it off, saying that he didn't even have enough soldiers, and Chen Liang wanted more.

Singing and dancing were performed to welcome them and wash away the dust of their journey. Strangely enough, Chen Xi's father-in-law was also among them?

"Zichuan, what are you doing here?" Fanliang asked in confusion.

"Uncle, how are you? I saw the various lords of the world at Hulao Pass. The fate of the Guangwu lineage is over. I plan to follow Lord Xuande and seek wealth and honor." Chen Xi said with a smile.

"Watch your words!" Fan Liang shouted.

Afterwards, Fanliang showed Liu Bei and Chen Xi their faces.

Seeing that Fan Liang still didn't quite believe Liu Bei, Chen Xi thought for a moment and then pulled Jiang Shu over.

"How about Uncle takes a look at Mingzhi's face?" Chen Xi said with a grin.

Jiang Shu remained calm.

Fan Liang glanced at it and his expression instantly turned horrified.

Slaughter, endless slaughter, the nation was founded on slaughter, conquering north and south, shaking the world, the Sword Straight Empire.

The image of Wu'an!

Fan Liang remained silent for a moment before saying, "Sun Tzu, Wu Qi, Han Xin, and Bai Qi—their image is that of conquering the world through military force!"

Fan Liang left, then brought his son, Fan Qin, with him. There was no other way; Wu An Tian Xia was a god of war, and with Chen Xi and Chen Zichuan added to the mix, Liu Bei might actually have the power to restore order to the world.

On the other side, Jiang Shu looked at the name in front of him in surprise.

The words written on it were in large characters: Li Shimin!

The leader of the Eastern Hemisphere, the governor of Asia, Emperor Taizong of Tang, General of Heavenly Strategy, and Heavenly Khan Li Shimin.

Li Jing pacified Xiao Xian in the south, pacified Lingnan, destroyed the Eastern Turks in the north, subdued Fu Gongshi, and defeated the Tuyuhun in the west.

Zhao Kuangyin, with a single dragon-patterned staff, made all eighteen states under heaven belong to the Zhao family!

Jiang Shu told Chen Xi, and then chose Li Shimin.

Chen Xi also thought Li Shimin was a good choice, since the future goal was to contend for the world, and having Li Shimin in the Han Dynasty would be a safety net.

If Jiang Shu were to cause any trouble, Li Shimin could still fight back.

Of course, Chen Xi had no choice but to select the most reliable of the three military geniuses.

Then came the events of Chen Xi being expelled from the Chen family by Chen Qun and his repeated setbacks with Liu Bei.

Jiang Shu looked at Yingchuan with a cold smile. In his opinion, having more than 10,000 troops was enough to annihilate the entire Yingchuan, but ultimately he could not do so in the future.

After Chen Xi had made thorough plans, the group left and headed towards Xu Family Village.

In the middle of the conversation, Liu Bei mentioned someone named Xu Shu. Chen Xi then explained Xu Shu's background, which shocked Liu Bei. He then laughed and said, "When he arrives, I will definitely give him a good test."

"Don't worry, he'll definitely live up to all your efforts, and he'll definitely pass the exams," Chen Xi said with a smile.

As for Fan Qin, under Liu Bei's respect for talent, he has completely devoted himself to Liu Bei. He truly deserves to be called the succubus of the Han Dynasty!

We finally arrived at Xujiazhuang.

Zhang Fei let out a wild laugh and roared, "Xu Chu, come see me!"

Xu Chu, who had finally gotten rid of his studies and could secretly eat pig's trotters, was furious upon hearing this and quickly took out a large cleaver and came out.

Before the man arrived, the stone arrived first; a terrifyingly huge rock smashed out.

Zhang Fei dodged to the side, licked his lips, and said, "Xu Chu, come see me!"

Then they saw a muscular city wall emerge.
