"Elder brother, Liu Wu led our army and defeated the invading Lu Bu.”
"Not only that, we also killed Song Xian and captured Zhang Wenyuan alive.”
"Moreover, he persuaded Zhang Liao to betray Lu Bu and surrender to us.”
Guan Yu didn't dare to hide it and could only repeat it.
Liu Bei was stunned. His face was filled with shock, and his eyes were filled with deep confusion.
After a long time, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
"Chief Yun, tell me, how did he do it?”
Liu Bei grabbed Guan Yu's hand and asked excitedly.
Guan Yu then explained in detail how Liu Wu was able to perfectly win the White Robe Army and the White Horse Righteous Follower.
"He trained the White Robe Army and in just a month, they were able to stop the Bing Province cavalry?”
"Zilong once commanded the White Horse Righteous Followers. I didn't think of using him well, but my younger brother thought of him instead?”
Liu Bei's brows furrowed in disbelief.
"That's right, I didn't expect him to be so capable. Big brother said that Liu Wu is a mediocre person, how could big brother's judgment be wrong!”
Guan Yu sighed.
"Could it be that I was wrong? My little brother is a piece of unpolished jade?”
Liu Bei muttered to himself.
Guan Yu sighed." If I had known that Liu Wu had such abilities, my brother would have put him in an important position earlier. Perhaps the situation today would have been very different."”
These words caused Liu Bei to feel a tinge of regret.
Thinking back to the time when Liu Wu came to seek refuge from thousands of miles away, he did not use Liu Wu because Liu Wu was not his biological brother and he thought that Liu Wu's talent was mediocre. Liu Bei felt ashamed.
"No matter what, Liu Wu has made a great contribution this time and can be considered to have made up for his act of making decisions on his own. This foolish younger brother thinks that elder brother should not blame him anymore.”
Guan Yu said.
Liu Bei coughed a few times and said lightly," Don't you know my magnanimity? Yun Chang, since he has made a great contribution, I'll let it go this time."”
"Elder brother has the bearing of a great lord.”
In order to make Liu Bei happy, Guan Yu calmed his emotions and could only flatter him.
"Now that Lu Bu has suffered heavy losses, he shouldn't be able to attack Haixi for a while.”
"After you go back, continue to recruit soldiers and buy horses. After I recover from my injuries, we will turn from defense to attack and take back Xiapi!”
Liu Bei took on the aura of a lord and warned earnestly.
Guan Yu's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly said," Elder brother, before I left Haixi, Liu Wu had already sent an envoy to summon Chen Gui, his son, and Zang Ba. They led their troops to Haixi to meet up. They planned to march westward and defeat Lu Bu in one fell swoop to recover Xiapi!”
"What?"
"Why didn't you stop him?" Liu Bei asked.”
Guan Yu explained," Third Brother and I have discussed it and we feel that Liu Wu's words are reasonable. Lu Bu's strength has been greatly reduced. If we can unite Chen Deng and Zang Ba's troops, we have a high chance of recovering Xiapi and exterminating the slaves of the three families!”
"You muddle-headed, Chief Yun, you muddle-headed!"
Liu Bei shook his head and rebuked, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Guan Yu was confused, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Liu Wu is indeed a talented general. Otherwise, he would not have won this battle.”
"However, Zang Ba is the local tyrant of Langye, and Chen Gui and his son are from the mighty family of Xu Prefecture. With my political skills, I have been dealing with them for so long, but I still have no way to integrate these two forces and make them sincerely submit.”
"Chief Yun, think about it. Even I can't do it. With Liu Wu's power, can he make those foxes listen to his orders?”
"When the time comes, although the three families will join forces, their hearts will not be united and each has their own ulterior motives. Not to mention recovering Xiapi, they will probably be defeated by Lu Bu.”
Liu Bei's voice was stern as he analyzed the pros and cons, causing Guan Yu to break out in cold sweat.
Guan Yu quickly cupped his hands." Elder brother, you are right. I was careless. I will rush back to Haixi now to stop Liu Wu's plan to recapture Xiapi."”
Liu Bei heaved a sigh of relief and waved his hand weakly.
Guan Yu stood up and said goodbye.
"Wait!"
Before he could step out of the door, Liu Bei suddenly thought of something and stopped him.
"Does elder brother have any other instructions?"
Guan Yu turned around and bowed respectfully.
Liu Bei instructed," I'm recuperating on this isolated island. I lack a woman to take care of me. The next time you come, bring one for me."”
"Yes."
Guan Yu quickly agreed and then asked,"Does elder brother have anyone in mind?"”
Liu Bei tapped his forehead with his finger, and his eyes flashed."Do you still remember Gan Mei, the daughter of Gan Gong of Xiapi?”
"Foolish brother remembers that the Gan family is a small family in Xu Prefecture. That Duke Gan was somewhat close to his elder brother and once expressed his willingness to offer his daughter to his elder brother as a concubine.”
"His daughter Gan Mei, I have seen her before. She is indeed quite beautiful, and she is also gentle and virtuous.”
Guan Yu said.
Liu Bei nodded slightly." I heard that when Xiapi City fell, Gan Gong's entire family also escaped. Perhaps he'll go to the west of the sea to seek refuge with me. Go back and keep an eye out for me. If you find the father and daughter of the Gan family, send Gan Mei over to serve me."”
"Don't worry, elder brother. I will definitely take note!”
Guan Yu accepted the order and left.
…
North of Haixi City.
The white-robed army was escorting a carriage that was heading toward the west.
After the previous victory, Liu Wu had taken some time off to accompany Mei Huan back to Qu City's Mi Family, and it could be considered as a family visit.
"Husband, do you really plan to turn from defense to attack and lead the army to recover Xiapi?”
Inside the carriage, Mi Huan asked as she rested her head on Liu Wu's arm.
"Haixi is after all vast and sparsely populated, far less densely populated than Xiapi. It is not good for me to continue this stalemate.”
"Naturally, I want to take advantage of Lu Bu's recovery to attack and recover Xiapi.”
Liu Wu put his arm around her shoulder and explained.
"Although Lu Bu has lost a battle, he still has five thousand soldiers.”
Mi Huan said worriedly.
" Haven't I already summoned Zang Ba and Chen Gui?" Liu Wu sneered." By then, we will have at least ten to twenty thousand men. It will be enough to take Xiapi."”
"Let's not talk about Zang Ba first. Chen Gui and his son are extremely shrewd. Will they really lead their army to help?”
Mi Huan's eyes flickered with doubt.
"When Liu Bei was defeated, the Chen father and son refused to help because they believed that Liu Bei was mediocre and could not resist Lu Bu.”
"Now, in the battle of Haixi, I have already proved my strength to them. The Chen father and son will no longer have any worries and will definitely help me recover Xiapi.”
"After all, I said before that as the Lord of Xu Prefecture, I am ten thousand times better than Lu Bu!”
Liu Wu also told his wife everything he knew and voiced out his speculations.
Mi Huan was skeptical and didn't ask further.
As the husband and wife spoke, the carriage had already entered Haixi and arrived outside the government office.
It had just rained on Haixi, and the ground was quite muddy.
After Liu Wu jumped down from the car, he opened his arms to Mi Huan and said with a smile,""In case you dirty Madam's dress, I'll carry you in.”
A faint expression appeared on Mi Huan's face and she couldn't help smiling shyly.
After hesitating for a moment, she still handed herself over to Liu Wu with a red face.
Liu Wu carried Mi Huan and walked towards the mansion door under everyone's gaze.
On the steps of the mansion.
Guan Yu paced with his hands behind his back, waiting for Liu Wu to return.
Seeing that the carriage had stopped, Guan Yu wanted to go up to it.
Right at this moment, the scene of Liu Wu hugging Mi Huan entered his eyes.
"It's fine if he held Sister-in-law's hand and hugged Sister-in-law's waist, but now he actually hugged Sister-in-law in public!”
"This Liu Wu is getting more and more outrageous.”
Guan Yu's eyes were spitting fire as he clenched his fists.
