By the time Liu Bei arrived at Guangling, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already taken Hailing and Gaoyou.
Because Guangling City was located in the south of Guangling, taking over Guangling City was equivalent to cutting off the connection between Yuan Shu's army.
For a time, the counties of Guangling Prefecture surrendered.
Other than the western Tangyi, the entire Guangling had been taken by Liu Bei.
When Liu Bei arrived ten miles below Guangling City, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already led their troops to welcome him.
Seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from afar, Liu Bei called out,"
"Second brother, third brother, I'm here!"
Seeing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly rushed out.
"Big brother! I missed you so much!"
Zhang Fei's loud voice could be heard on the entire public road.
Guan Yu stepped forward and smiled,"
"Big brother, we didn't fail our mission and have already taken over Guangling. We're just waiting for big brother to settle down!”
Liu Bei held onto Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's hands, grinning from ear to ear."
"You two have worked hard for this surprise attack on Guangling!”
"Hey! Big Brother, what are you saying!"
Zhang Fei laughed and said,
"The surprise attack this time was extremely successful. As soon as Second Brother and I arrived, the city was in our hands!”
"Ever since I, Old Zhang, sent out my troops, I have never fought such a carefree battle!”
Liu Bei smiled and said,"
"Hehehe…It's all thanks to the strategist's brilliant plan!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhang Fei's eyes glanced around. When he saw Yun Yi, he went forward and pulled Yun Yi and said enthusiastically,
"Advisor Jun, why are you hiding behind us?"
"Today is a great day. I, Old Zhang, want to have a good drink with you!”
When Yun Yi was pulled by Zhang Fei, he felt like a loudspeaker was ringing in his ear. He could not help but smile bitterly and say,
"Yi De, please let me go. These few days of marching has made my back ache. Let me rest and we'll drink again tomorrow!”
"That won't do!"
Zhang Fei pulled Yun Yi forward and said,
"You're a great hero. Let's see how I, Old Zhang, will make you drink!”
At this moment, Guan Yu saw this and shouted,"
"Third brother, don't be rude!"
"Advisor Jun's body is weak, and the journey is tough.”
Yun Yi saw that Guan Yu was speaking up for him and immediately smiled."
"General Guan, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you're still as elegant as ever!”
"Haha…"
Guan Yu smiled and stroked his long beard."
"Military Advisor, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Commander Yun!”
Liu Bei watched from the side and couldn't stop laughing.
If it was a golden age, the most unwilling thing for a ruler to see was the peace between generals and ministers.
However, in this chaotic world, what a ruler liked the most was to see the generals make peace!
Only with the strength of civil and military could one put in effort.
Now that Guan Yu and Yun Yi had reconciled, it was exactly what he wished for!
He stepped forward and pulled Guan Yu and Yun Yi back,"
"Come, second brother, Zhuo Qun, follow me into Guangling!”
Immediately, the large group of people headed towards Guangling City.
Liu Bei walked on the road, Guan Yu on the left, Yun Yi on the right, Wen Yi and Wu, very happy!
When they arrived at the prefect's residence, Liu Bei simply let Sun Qian arrange some trivial matters while he held a meeting in the residence.
This time, they had gained a lot from Guangling City, and Liu Bei had to make the decision.
The first to be dealt with was Qiao Rui.
He was pushed into the hall. His appearance was neat and tidy, and he had not been abused.
Seeing Liu Bei, Qiao Rui smiled bitterly and said,"
"The defeated general, Qiao Rui, greets Ambassador Liu!”
Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly stood up and untied Qiao Rui,"
"General Qiao, there's no need to be so polite!"
"General Qiao has suffered for the past few days!”
Qiao Rui had thought that Liu Bei would kill him to vent his anger, but he did not expect to receive such courtesy. She was instantly flattered and said,"
"Rui is just a defeated general. Envoy Liu's actions make Rui extremely terrified!”
Liu Bei said,"
"Victory and defeat are common in a military school, why worry about it!”
"I've long heard that Yuan Gonglu has a general named Qiao Rui. He's resourceful and brave!”
"Today, I've seen your elegance!”
Qiao Rui said shyly,"
"That day when I ambushed you on the road, I wanted to defeat you. I didn't expect anything else. Now that you treat me like this, how can I endure it?”
When Yun Yi saw this, he smiled and said,
"Since the lord and general are like this, why don't you join our army and make a good story!”
Qiao Rui was stunned and looked at Liu Bei. Liu Bei looked at him sincerely and said,"
"I wonder if General can lend me a hand?”
"This…"
Qiao Rui was at a loss for words.
"General Yuan has been kind to me. If I submit to you, I will definitely go against General Yuan. Please allow me to refuse!”
Hearing this, Liu Bei frowned, and he immediately found it difficult to deal with.
When Yun Yi saw this, he smiled and said,
"Let's discuss this matter again. I believe that the general has not been feeling well in prison these few days. It's not too late to go down and recuperate.”
Without waiting for Qiao Rui to refuse, he said in a clear voice,"
"Men, send General Qiao to rest!”
After Qiao Rui was sent away, Zhang Fei said angrily,"
"This fellow doesn't know what's good for him. Why should we keep him?”
Liu Bei said thoughtfully,
"From what I see, Zhuo Qun seems to have other intentions?”
Yun Yi smiled slightly and said,
"This Qiao Rui is from a prominent family in Yangzhou and is related to the former Grand Marshal Qiao Xuan. If we keep him, he will definitely be useful when we seize River East in the future!”
"Yes, this person is quite capable. The lord is currently lacking manpower.”
Liu Bei nodded."
"Zhuo Qun is right!"
At this moment, Mei Fang suddenly exclaimed,"
"My lord, you want to go south and seize Jiangdong?"
As soon as he spoke, he saw that Liu Guanzhang and Yun Yi's expressions were normal and could not help but be stunned.
Was it possible that only his brothers were unaware of such a grand strategy?
Yun Yi immediately stepped forward and said with a smile,
"This strategy of going south to Jiangdong was decided by the lord at my house a few days ago. Today, we have already seized Guangling and it is time to go to Jiangdong.”
Although his words sounded like a discussion, Liu Bei had already informed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
He was only informing the Mei Clan brothers now!
Seeing this, Mei Fang subconsciously looked at Mei Zhu.
However, Mei Zhu stood up with a serious expression and cupped his hands,"
"My lord, if my lord wants to seize River East, I'm afraid we don't have enough troops!”
"Zhu Yuan is willing to pay another ten thousand gold, five thousand servants, two thousand horses, and a certain amount of rations to help my lord succeed!”
Mei Fang's elder brother's words caused his eyes to widen.
Although the Mi Family was wealthy, they had really taken out too much this time!
It almost took up half of the Mi Family's assets!
However, it wasn't just Mi Fang who was moved, Liu Bei was as well.
Liu Bei stood up and said excitedly,"
"Zizhong treats me so well, how can I let him down!”
With the resources that Mi Zhu had provided, he could easily increase his army by 10,000!
Yun Yi also secretly nodded by the side.
This Mi Zhu was truly a speculator. Right now, Liu Bei had yet to make a name for himself, yet he dared to invest with all his might.
Which businessman in the world could have such boldness!
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also nodding their heads secretly, praising Mi Zhu's boldness.
Liu Bei was excited for a moment before he announced,"
"Everyone has contributed greatly to our army's capture of Guangling. I will reward you according to your contributions and arrange for future personnel.”
"This time, when we retreated to the West Coast, the Mi Clan's brothers gave us financial aid, allowing our army to regain its prestige.”
"That is why I appointed Mi Zhu as Xu Prefecture's other driver and concurrently as Guangling County Governor!”
"Mi Fang is the tooth general, listen to my orders!”
At this time, Old Liu's official position was the East Town General, ranked fourth in the Conquest General. He was in charge of Qing, Yan, Xu, and Yang, and was stationed in Yangzhou. In theory, he could not appoint a Biejia.
But now that the Imperial Court was in chaos, they naturally kept their word.
This time, he was going to River East, and his foundation was only Guangling County. However, he appointed Mi Zhu as the Guangling County Governor. It could be seen how important he was to Mi Zhu!
Mei Zhu bowed and said,"
"Thank you, my lord. I will not fail my mission!”
Liu Bei nodded and looked at Guan Yu,"
"Second brother, I appoint you as the commandant of Guangling County. After I leave, you will be in charge of the defense of Guangling County.”
Guan Yu said seriously,"
"Big brother, don't worry. With me here, Guangling will be safe!”
After making arrangements for Guang Ling, Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and said,"
"Third brother, I appoint you as the commander of the military academy. This time, you will follow me to attack the rebels of River East!”
Zhang Fei patted his chest and said,"
"Don't worry, Big Brother. With me around, the bandits in River East will definitely flee!”
"Yes."
Liu Bei looked at Yun Yi and said in a clear voice,"
"Military Advisor Yun Yi first helped our army escape from the ambush, then he gave us a few suggestions to resolve our crisis. This time, taking Guangling should be the main credit!”
"Here, I hereby confer Yun Yi the title of General of the Military Advisor and bestow him with a hundred gold coins. If I'm not around for this expedition, the Military Advisor can make the final decision! No one is allowed to disobey!"
Everyone was shocked.
