" My lord, there's news from Jiangxia. It says, it says…"
At this moment, in the Left General's manor in Xinye, Mei Zhu was carrying a military report from Jiangxia. He looked hesitant and did not know if he should tell Liu Bei!
Seeing Mei Zhu's expression, Liu Bei also felt that something was wrong, but his expression did not change!
"Zizhong, what happened? I've never seen you so flustered. If there's anything, just say it!”
After Liu Bei spoke, Mei Zhu sighed helplessly!
As Liu Bei's brother-in-law, Mi Zhu was a businessman, so he was the best at reading people's expressions!
Ever since Liu Bei had been captured alive by Kou Feng and his elite cavalrymen, Kou Feng had become a taboo in Liu Bei's heart!
It was not only because of Kou Feng's departure, which caused Liu Bei's reputation to plummet, but also because of deep regret!
Liu Bei regretted being so impatient. Otherwise, Kou Feng would still be his son. When Liu Chan grew up, wouldn't it be better to get rid of Kou Feng?
Now, not only did the people discuss whether he was really benevolent, but they also lost soldiers and generals. It was really a great humiliation!
Of course, Liu Bei's reputation had been declining day by day. It was also because Cao Cao had secretly added fuel to the fire that he had achieved such great results!
In other words, the fame that Liu Bei relied on to survive was no longer as useful as before!
Tell me, how could Liu Bei not regret it?
Thus, after hearing Liu Bei's words, Mei Zhu sighed helplessly.
"Lord, please don't be angry after reading this military report!”
At this point, Mei Zhu handed over the letter. Chen Dao used to be Liu Bei's bodyguard, but now he was just a small soldier!
Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh!
When Liu Bei received the military report and opened it, his originally calm face instantly turned ashen!
Then, he felt a deep sense of unwillingness!
"How is this possible? This little bastard, how could he be like this? Are Huang Zu and the Jiangdong Army trash?”
Liu Bei had never expected that this military report would write in detail how Kou Feng defeated the Jiangdong Army and took over Jiangxia after he turned to Liu Biao!
Speaking of which, Xinye was only a county. He, Liu Bei, had been fighting for decades, but he had only occupied a county!
However, Kou Feng, the adopted son that Liu Bei had abandoned and wanted to kill, had become the prefect of a county in just half a month. Now, he had tens of thousands of soldiers!
The population under his rule was close to a million. How could Liu Bei not be furious?
What followed was regret and jealousy!
Regret. If Kou Feng hadn't left back then, would Jiangxia have been his now?
Jealousy. Why was Kou Feng so lucky? He had unknowingly won over so many people!
Just Yang Zaixing, who could fight Zhang Fei, was enough to make Liu Bei drool!
Thinking about it, the scholar who had been by Kou Feng's side that day was also an existence that was not inferior to Xu Shu!
Liu Bei sighed deeply and waved his hand.
"Zizhong, I'm tired. You can leave first!”
Seeing Liu Bei like this, Mei Zhu had a helpless look on his face. To think that he, Mei Zhu, would give up his family wealth to help Liu Bei start his family and even marry his sister to him!
Who would have thought that after decades of war, Liu Bei would still achieve nothing!
"Yes!"
After saying this, Mei Zhu walked out of the general's manor. He understood that Liu Bei was truly in despair about the future!
This was because the military advisor that he had obtained with great difficulty had been snatched away by Cao Cao's evil schemes. The son that he had abandoned had achieved more than him!
Say, no matter how tough Liu Bei was, he was still in a mess and could not control himself!
At the same time, in Liu Bei's army, when Zhang Fei and Guan Yu learned of this, they were both furious, but there was nothing they could do!
What could they do? Xinye had less than 3,000 soldiers, and their generals were no match for Guan, Zhang, and Zhao. Although they were brave, they did not have a single real strategist!
As for Zhao Yun, ever since she returned from that day, she was rarely summoned by Liu Bei!
On that day, Zhao Yun had stayed behind to cover the rear. If he had died at the hands of Kou Feng, that would have been the best outcome for Liu Bei!
In this way, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would be grateful for Zhao Yun's kindness and would never forget it for the rest of their lives!
However, Zhao Yun had returned safe and sound in the end. He was clearly surrounded by Kou Feng's army, but he had returned safely. Wasn't this clearly telling Liu Bei!
He, Zhao Yun, had a good personal relationship with Kou Feng. Even though they had become mortal enemies, Kou Feng was still willing to let Zhao Yun go!
It was no wonder that when Liu Bei wanted to kill Kou Feng that day, only Zhao Yun spoke up to plead for him. It turned out that Zhao Yun and Kou Feng had been together for a long time!
As a lord, the thing that he could not tolerate the most was his courtiers and his son having too much of a personal relationship!
Otherwise, if his son rebelled, who would you, as a general, listen to?
Moreover, Zhao Yun was not a core figure in Liu Bei's heart. Now that such a thing had happened, Zhao Yun would not be reused by Liu Bei!
As such, Zhao Yun had recently noticed that after that battle, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the others had intentionally or unintentionally distanced themselves from him!
Regarding this, Zhao Yun was naturally quite puzzled!
He had clearly risked his life to cover the rear for these two. Could Liu Bei not see his loyalty?
As Zhao Yun thought about it, she inadvertently recalled Kou Feng's words that day and felt bitter in her heart!
"My lord, what do I have to do to make you truly understand my loyalty?”
……
On the other side, Kou Feng looked at Chen Dao and sorted out his current relationship with Liu Bei's group!
After hearing Kou Feng's analysis and Zhao Yun's awkward situation, Chen Dao's face darkened.
"Don't try to sow discord here. I've said it before. Even if I die, I will never surrender to you.”
Kou Feng helplessly shook his head when he heard Chen Dao's words.
"General Chen Dao, I still remember that the loyal and brave Zhao Zilong knelt down for you and begged me to save your life!”
Chen Dao's expression changed when he heard Kou Feng's words!
