Liu Xuande would never be a succubus of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

"Cough cough cough."

Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously looked at Master Lu. The latter not only had no intention of rescuing him, but on the contrary showed a faint smile.

No, why is there suddenly tension between you two?

"Um……"

Sun Jian on the other side did have some insight. He quickly lowered his head and didn't look at anyone, and concentrated on drinking the wine in his hand.

This Xuande is really a heroic figure. First, he is Master Lu’s trusted student, and then he seems to have some connection with the only daughter of the Jia family... It's really scary.

But it's normal.

Judging from his appearance, whatever he does will be simple.

"Alas, there is no other way. Xu can only stay here and help the governor deal with the situation."

"Why," Master Lu turned to look at Jia Xu, "are you unhappy?"

Jia Xu suddenly felt like he was being stared at by a tigress, and a little cold sweat immediately broke out on his back. He quickly smiled and said, "Master, you are so magnanimous. I admire you very much. Of course, I am very happy to do this."

"That's good."

Master Lu nodded in satisfaction, then ordered, "I will send troops to Wu Commandery tonight to explain the situation to the prefect... Tomorrow, you will take my order and dispatch 500 officers and soldiers to Wu Commandery."

Liu Bei immediately bowed and said, "Disciple obeys your command."

Sun Jian also smiled with relief, clasped his fists, and said, "On behalf of the people of Wu Commandery, I would like to thank the governor and Lord Xuande."

The reason he came here was, firstly, to ensure that the "bronze mask" in his hand could be successfully displayed in front of Lu Taishou, and secondly, to persuade them to help Wujun.

Unexpectedly, Prefect Lu and his disciples were all ambitious people, and they chose to go there on their own initiative without any persuasion.

This world still belongs to the Han Dynasty.

"You guys go down and rest first."

"only."

-

After Liu Bei and Sun Jian settled in, they came to the yard, and when he looked up, he saw a small figure.

"Hey, big brother!"

A childish voice sounded, and a pink little girl ran over from a distance and handed the flowers in her hand to Liu Bei.

"For you."

"Thank you."

Liu Bei took the flower, an exceptionally delicate and beautiful pink one. He smiled and pinched Zuo Ci's cheek: "Where did you get this?"

"Hehehe..." Little Zuo Ci smiled mysteriously, "This is a secret. By the way, this flower can protect big brother from all harm~"

"So amazing."

Liu Bei thought it was just a child's joke and was about to pinch little Zuo Ci again when the latter suddenly jumped and fell into his arms.

"Hey."

The tremendous force knocked Liu Bei to the ground immediately, with great doubt in his eyes.

No, sister, my body has been strengthened by the fragments of Chixiao. I can fight against the robots of the Mohist School and kill the masters of the Yangzhou martial arts world in an instant. How come I fell down with just a slight touch from a little girl?

unbelievable.

Before Liu Bei could react, the little girl above him raised her head, her eyes emitting a light golden light.

She said in a sly voice, "Big brother's arms are still warmer... I miss you so much..."

"What are you thinking about?"

Liu Bei tried to move his body, but found that the other party was like a stone mountain and could not move at all.

"I want to stay in my big brother's arms forever."

Xiao Zuo Ci suddenly stopped smiling and said expressionlessly, "But, big brother, I feel very sad when you leave."

How did this kid know that I was leaving Shouchun County?

Liu Bei smiled helplessly and said, "It won't be long, just a little while."

"Really?" Little Zuo Ci said noncommittally, "Then you have to promise Zuo Ci that you will come back, okay?"

"of course."

"The hook."

"Hook."

Interlace your little fingers together.

Then, the little girl's mouth curled up slightly, she stood up and ran away smiling.

"This child..."

Liu Bei looked at the little girl's back, shook his head and said, "Sure enough, guys named Zuo Ci are not simple."

Mohist Chapter: Chapter 16: How dare you tease me, Lord Lu, in person?

Originally, there were not too many officers and soldiers in Shouchun County, and most of them were children of aristocratic families. What they were best at was "eating empty salaries" and "recruiting people for money" and other illegal activities.

Such military force is indeed unable to resist foreign enemies, so in the past, if the people sent by the court wanted to quell the rebellion, they had to rely on the major families.

The noble families were able to sit back and relax, but they didn't expect that the new governor would bring a disciple with him, who killed them and made them run around without any escape.

Then, their private soldiers either returned to the fields or chose to be incorporated into the officers' soldiers and form new recruits with other people who joined the army.

Among them, 500 people were all good fighters. They were trained personally by the majestic Master Lu, and were turned into a usable army in just one month.

This time, Master Lu appointed Liu Bei to be in charge of the army, one to train the troops, and the other to hone his military capabilities.

In fact, the key to leading troops in battle is not how smart you are, nor how powerful you are. The trick lies in "mastery".

The eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of one person can be easily arranged, but what about ten, one hundred or even five hundred people?

These people eat as soon as they open their mouths, and eat as soon as they sit down... well, the key is how to use these people as arms.

On the high platform, Liu Bei looked at the dark clouds below and felt a little uneasy.

He traveled through time from his previous life, experienced business, was suppressed and even framed, and finally crawled out of a swamp and stood beside the Master.

Leading troops is a test.

Only by surpassing your past self can you take a step forward.

Liu Bei knew this truth very early, so he abandoned the "arrogance" of being a time traveler and the "cowardice" from himself, and successfully broke out from the sea of blood.

He had also doubted and suffered, and even doubted whether he could achieve the same or even higher achievements as the historical man named "Liu Bei".

…ultimately, these ideas faded away.

Because Liu Bei knew clearly that after the Eastern Han Dynasty was divided into three kingdoms and the three kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty, the infamous "Five Barbarians Invading China" began.

Foreign tribes marched south in large numbers, and the tribes within and outside the country rose up in rebellion. Liu Cong, Shi Hu and others wreaked havoc on the world, slaughtered all living things, and tore the Central Plains apart...

There is still heroic spirit to sing about the Three Kingdoms, but during the Five Barbarians Invasion, there is only starlight but no entire starry sky.

Furthermore, Liu Bei knew that if he kept his head down, even if he could become rich and powerful, he could not guarantee that he and his family and friends would be able to live in peace in the chaotic times to come.

When someone raises a knife, you'd better make sure you have one in your hand instead of praying that the other person will suddenly have mercy and spare you.

"call."

Liu Bei took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, the fear in his eyes was gone.

He took a step forward, his voice amplified by the power of the Scarlet Sky fragments, and said:

"A hundred years ago, the Han Emperor tamed the barbarians and, with great kindness, relocated them here. But for a hundred years of kindness from our great Han people, we have only been rewarded with repeated rebellions..."

"Just think about it. They plundered your food, your wives, and your children. They treated you like spineless sheep and wantonly ravaged your fertile land."

"As citizens of the Han Dynasty, as heads of families, can you truly endure this evil aura?"

The officers and soldiers below were all aware of what the young man in front of them had done. In addition, they were all aware of the disasters caused by that group of barbarians, so they could empathize better.

Back then, the fields were dry and there was no harvest, and the stored food was looted by the barbarians. When they were huddled in the streets due to hunger and cold, it was the new governor and his disciples who brought good news - rice porridge and fertile fields.

Then they provided them with housing and jobs, so that they could transform from private soldiers of the aristocratic families into regular officers and soldiers.

What a great favor this is!

Not to mention fighting the enemy barbarians, even if the new governor and his disciples wanted to capture the neighboring counties, they would attack without asking any questions.

“I can’t stand it!”

“I can’t stand it!”

"very good."

Liu Bei looked at the five hundred men with high morale, and something came to his mind. He smiled and said:

"Food and fodder are available along the way here, and if you behead a barbarian, you can get a share of good farmland or food and fodder."

"!!!"

"Lord Liu Bei's kindness is unparalleled!"

"We are willing to die for Lord Liu Bei!"

“…This young man is really interesting.”

Sun Jian, who was standing on the other side, looked at Liu Bei with a slight smile on his face.

He was famous for his bravery since he was young, and he had led his fellow townsmen in battle, so he was particularly aware of the military's morale.

The first is righteousness, the second is benefit, and the third is kindness.

It wouldn't be surprising for an experienced general to make such a promise in just a few words, but how old was Liu Bei? He hadn't even worn a crown yet!

I didn’t expect that there are such heroic young men in the world. Does this also prove that the way of heaven may have changed?

Sun Jian did not think further, because he no longer had the ambition to rule the world, but was determined to defend his hometown to the death.

As long as he can deal with the Mohists who are harming the people, he is willing to contribute everything he has.

I just wonder if this little boy named Liu Bei can be so calm on the battlefield?

"Brother Wentai, please show us the way."

Liu Bei's light voice came, and Sun Jian immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

After saying this, Sun Jian immediately mounted his horse and rode forward first.

Liu Bei smiled, then mounted his horse and shouted, "All troops, march out!"

"only!"

When the entire army set out on the expedition, Liu Bei seemed to have sensed something and turned around to look behind him.

Three figures could be vaguely seen there, namely Master Lu, Jia Xu and little Zuo Ci.

Master Lu still maintained a calm expression and just nodded slightly to Liu Bei to show his approval.

Jia Xu looked at Liu Bei with a smile, and it was a deal. No one knew what bad idea he was thinking of.

As for little Zuo Ci, he was crying with tears in his eyes and looked extremely miserable.

“…Can you please stop crying?”

Master Lu tilted his head slightly, stretched out his hand to pull little Zuo Ci to his side, and said softly: "Don't worry, your elder brother Liu Bei will return victorious soon, and then you can continue to act like a spoiled child to him."

"Wow... No..."

"Okay, okay, I'm not being coquettish, I'm just clinging to him."

"No..." Little Zuo Ci raised her head and said aggrievedly, "Sister Lu...you stepped on my foot!"

"what."

Master Lu quickly withdrew his foot and looked apologetic.

Jia Xu turned his head away speechlessly and grumbled, "A dignified Lu Zigan from Zhuo County actually ran to Shouchun County to bully a little girl. This is really, tsk tsk tsk."
