Liu Ye introduced everyone to each other before pulling Zhang Fei into his own camp.
As for Liu Bei, Liu Ye did not call him, causing Liu Bei to stand awkwardly on the spot.
He thought about it for a while, but he still followed them in shamelessly. He also wanted to know what the emergency was.
Chen Qingzhi, as the commander under Liu Ye, was the first to speak at this time,""After learning that Deng Mao had been defeated and killed, Yellow Turban Thief Commander Cheng Yuanzhi had already led 40,000 troops and rushed all the way here. He will reach Zhuo County by tomorrow morning at the latest.”
Liu Ye's sharp senses noticed that Liu Bei's expression changed in an instant, but it quickly returned to normal.
"Xuande, do you have any opinions on this?”
Liu Bei cursed in his heart when he heard Liu Ye call out his general.
Don't you have any ideas? You keep asking me what I think.
Of course, Liu Bei did not dare to be impudent in front of Liu Ye, the King of Zhao. He cupped his hands and said,"With the elite soldiers of His Highness, King Zhao, here, the mere Yellow Turban bandits are nothing to be afraid of. I believe that His Highness, King Zhao, will take the initiative to attack and will definitely be able to win.”
Liu Bei's reaction was also very fast. How could he give Liu Ye any chance at this time? He directly let Liu Ye take the initiative to attack.
"Xuande, you are right. A mere Yellow Turban bandit is a piece of cake for me.”
"Take the initiative to attack and take advantage of the fact that they have come from afar and have yet to stabilize their footing. We will definitely be able to destroy them in a single battle.”
"With such a great contribution, I want Liu Bei to join us. What do you think, Xuande?"
Liu Bei's face was completely ashen. Even a fool would understand that Liu Ye was clearly targeting him.
If there was a chance to make a name for himself, Liu Bei would definitely be willing.
However, the Yellow Turban bandits were too powerful. The five hundred rebel soldiers that he had recruited with great difficulty did not have any combat strength at all. If they really charged forward, there would definitely not be many left.
"I've just recruited a few men, and they're not even equipped or trained enough. How would I dare to act presumptuously in front of His Highness the King of Zhao? If I go, I'll only be a burden to His Highness the King of Zhao. I'm willing to lead my men to defend the city and wait for His Highness the King of Zhao to return triumphantly.”
Liu Bei had already made up his mind. This Liu Ye was too much of a scammer. Even if he really had some merit, he would not dare to take it. The most important thing was to stay in the city and protect his life.
"Since Liu Bei is unwilling to lead the army, then stay and defend the city. I will let General Chen make the arrangements.”
Liu Ye had no intention of forcing Liu Bei. In any case, Liu Ye was determined to win against the Yellow Turban bandits. Without Liu Bei's men, it did not matter at all.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. Rest assured, Your Highness. I will definitely guard Zhuo County well and will not disappoint Your Highness.”Liu Bei said with a smile.
After the meeting ended, everyone left.
Although Liu Bei wanted to recruit Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei had already thrown himself into Liu Ye's embrace. He could only bring Guan Yu, Jian Yong, and the others away.
Looking at Guan Yu's departing back, Liu Ye felt a little regretful.
Such a good general was poached away by Liu Bei just like that.
As for making Guan Yu stay at this time…Liu Ye did not have the intention of trying to make Liu Bei jealous or even sow discord between them.
With Liu Bei's glib tongue and Guan Yu's loyalty, no matter how he operated, Liu Bei would be able to win Guan Yu's heart with his ability as the Best Actor.
Moreover, there were many civil and military officials in the Great Han Dynasty, including Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, and many others. Liu Ye didn't need to compete with Guan Yu.
Now, Skynet was already doing its best to find the whereabouts of these people. He believed that it would not be long before they could bring Liu Ye some surprises.
Even if he didn't capture all the civil and military officials of the three kingdoms, he could at least bring back a few useful talents.
Zhang Fei did not spend the night in Liu Ye's military camp. Instead, he returned to his own home.
The next morning.
Zhang Fei brought all the experts of the Zhang family, as well as the money and grain of the entire Zhang family, over. There were a total of several carts.
"Zhang Fei greets Your Highness. Thanks to Your Highness 'great kindness, Zhang Fei has brought all the rangers of our Zhang Village and Youzhou.”
"He even sold the peach garden at home in exchange for some money and food, and was willing to hand it over to His Highness the King of Zhao.”
Zhang Fei was also extremely straightforward in doing things.
That night, he found someone to sell the peach garden and all the properties in the family.
He brought along some of the rangers who were on good terms with him and the able-bodied men in his family to rush over to support Liu Ye.
"Alright, it's rare for Yi De to be so sincere to this king. Take these things as this king lending them to you. After pacifying the Yellow Turban bandits, this king will return them to you a hundred times over.”
Although Liu Ye did not have any soldiers or money at the moment, Zhang Fei's actions had also officially expressed his determination to submit to him. Liu Ye still nodded happily.
Not far away from the camp, Liu Bei saw the money Zhang Fei had brought with him, and his face was filled with envy.
If he could take Zhang Fei in, wouldn't these things be his?
With the addition of his 500 volunteer troops, he could expand the strength of his subordinates to more than 1,000 people.
Unfortunately, all of this was ruined by Liu Ye.
"My lord, you don't have to worry too much. Although we weren't able to recruit a fierce general like Zhang Fei, we have the help of Commander Yun.”
Jian Yong's flattery was heard by Guan Yu. He stroked his beard arrogantly and nodded repeatedly.
"Xianhe is right, I have a cloud that surpasses 100,000 soldiers!”
At this moment, Liu Bei was also praising Guan Yu. Now that he had already lost Zhang Fei, this fierce general, Liu Bei could not lose Guan Yu.
