A sound of greed and joy.
The next day.
When Yuan Yao woke up, he found that the sky was already bright.
He touched his body. The warmth was still there, but the beauty was gone.
He stretched and sat up. Breathing in the fresh air outside the window, he felt refreshed.
"Your Majesty, this concubine will help Your Majesty change and wash up.”
A gentle and caring voice came from outside the door.
He looked up to see Mei Zhen and Gan Mei, one carrying clothes and the other carrying a copper basin.
Yuan Yao smiled and sat on the bed, calmly accepting the service of the two girls.
The two women were slightly embarrassed as they helped him change and wash up.
Yuan Yao sized up the two of them, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Men in ancient times were really blessed!
He finally felt the joy that an emperor should have.
After changing and washing up, Yuan Yao accompanied the two girls for a warm breakfast, further deepening their relationship.
…………
A few hundred miles away from Shangcai City.
Liu Bei, the master of escaping, was running for his life with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, running for hundreds of miles.
He only stopped to catch his breath when he could no longer see his pursuers.
Liu Bei did a headcount and realized that there were only a few hundred soldiers left.
Even Liu Pi and Gong Du, who had joined the army earlier, had disappeared. It was unknown if they had died in battle or escaped halfway.
Looking at the defeated soldiers in front of him, Liu Bei could not help but feel sad. The 20,000 soldiers he had gathered with great difficulty had been lost again.
Could it be that I, Liu Bei, can only run for my life after being defeated?
He looked at the white clouds in the sky, looked at the empty surroundings, and listened to the whistling of the wind.
Liu Bei's expression was bleak, as if he had yet to recover from this crushing defeat.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation that there was no place in this vast world to stay.
Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes when she thought of the sadness.
"Second brother, third brother, it's all because I'm incompetent and have been defeated repeatedly, implicating the two brothers.”
"Both of you are great generals and have the courage to fight against ten thousand men. It's better for you to go to another wise lord. Don't follow a useless lord like me.”
Liu Bei said sadly to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as he wiped his tears.
Guan Yu was furious. He valued loyalty and loyalty the most. How could he leave his brother when he was in trouble?
"Big brother, you don't have to say anything. Ever since I became sworn brothers with you in the peach garden, I will never leave you unless I die.”
Guan Yu said with a resolute expression.
Zhang Fei's face was also filled with anger. He shouted loudly," Elder brother, what are you saying? I, Zhang Fei, respect you the most in my life. I will never betray you in my life."”
Hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes flashed with joy.
"Good, good, good. Yun Zhang, Yi De, you are both my closest brothers. I, Liu Bei, swear here today that I will never betray you two brothers in my life. If I violate this oath, I will be destroyed by the heavens!”
Liu Bei solemnly swore.
Seeing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also made a poison oath to show their determination to follow their big brother.
Just like that, Liu Bei added a poison oath to the foundation of the oath of loyalty in the peach garden. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would probably never be able to leave Liu Bei in their lives.
Seeing that his tears had made his two most capable subordinates even more loyal to him, Liu Bei could not help but feel a little smug. The grief he felt after being defeated by Yuan Yao also faded a little.
However, if Liu Bei knew that he was now in a grassland, he wondered what he would think.
After further binding the two brothers and solving the crisis of the team disbanding, Liu Bei began to consider where to go.
"Second brother, third brother, now that the matter of the imperial edict has been leaked, we have already fallen out with Cao Cao.”
"Now that he's on bad terms with Yuan Yao, he probably won't be able to go to Hebei's Yuan Shao.”
"After all, no matter how bad Yuan Shao's relationship with Yuan Shu is, they are still cousins. If he and his nephew Yuan Yao reconcile, then our situation will be very dangerous. Therefore, even though Yuan Shao is currently the strongest, we can't rely on him.”
"River East is separated by Huainan, so we can't go there.”
"Han Sui of Western Liang, Ma Teng is in a chaotic battle. We will only be cannon fodder if we go there with only a few hundred soldiers.”
"Hanzhong and Ba Shu are too far away and isolated. It's not a good place to go at the moment.”
"Now that things have come to this, I can only go to Jingzhou and rely on Liu Biao. On account of us being Han clan relatives, I believe he won't reject me.”
Liu Bei analyzed all the forces one by one and finally decided to rely on Liu Biao of Jingzhou.
"But, Liu Biao is a dog that guards the household. If elder brother relies on him, it will probably be difficult for him to do anything?”Guan Yu questioned.
Zhang Fei also nodded his head, agreeing with Guan Yu's point of view. After all, Liu Biao was not a hero, and this was something that everyone in the world agreed with.
Even Liu Biao probably knew how strong he was, so he never took the initiative to attack others, as long as others did not attack him.
To be able to defend his own land in Jingzhou was probably Liu Biao's greatest ambition.
"Don't worry about that. We'll go to Jing Zhou and ask Liu Biao for a piece of land to recruit soldiers and gather people's hearts.”
"After that, we will wait and see. When the battle between Yuan and Cao begins and Cao Cao's rear is empty, I will persuade Liu Biao to lead his troops to attack Xudu. If he is unwilling, then I will lead my troops to Xudu alone to take back the emperor.”
Liu Bei explained to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"Since big brother already has a plan, then the two of us brothers will listen to big brother.”Guan Yu and Zhang Fei cupped their hands.
"Yes, we'll listen to Big Brother!" Zhang Fei shouted from the side.
With the plan set, Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the remaining soldiers along the official road towards Jingzhou.
