Chapter 420
Xuzhou, Xiapi City.
Liu Bei has been very successful recently.
With the support of the Chen family in Xiapi City, his status is growing day by day.
Moreover, he is known in the city for loving the people like his own children.
Liu Bei often helps some poor people, which makes his reputation spread further.
The remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou are in chaos.
Without saying a word, Liu Bei led his troops to quell the rebellion after Tao Qian entrusted him with an important task.
He and Chen Deng complement each other.
Although their martial arts are not very sophisticated, they are more than enough to face the Yellow Turbans.
In addition, with Chen Deng's advice, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou were pacified in the shortest time.
Liu Bei, contrary to his usual behavior, did not report the Yellow Turban captives to the court for credit.
Instead, he intercepted them privately.
The Yellow Turban captives suddenly became soldiers in Xuzhou.
Tao Qian turned a blind eye.
This incident was also secretly instructed by him.
Tao Qian knew everything Dong Zhuo did in Luoyang.
He used to only study the struggles in the court, but in this incident, he deeply understood that the knife in his hand was most useful at the most critical moment.
In such a chaotic world, nothing is more important than military power.
Yuan Shao's failure was the biggest misunderstanding of military power.
Liu Bei worked hard under Tao Qian's instructions.
He also did not forget to secretly cultivate his confidants.
He selected brave men from the Yellow Turban captives and included them in his retainers.
After a selection, he obtained three generals, Zhang Kai, Bian Xi and Liao Hua.
They were much more skilled in martial arts than his sworn brother Zhang Nan.
This made Liu Bei very happy.
The team became stronger and stronger, making him stand straighter.
Chen Deng saw everything and did not say much.
Liu Bei is their favorite.
His sister has already married him.
Only when Liu Bei becomes better, will their Chen family become better and better.
Although this kind of thing is not good, it is fine as long as it is kept secret from Tao Qian.
The old Tao Qian forgets one thing after another.
Although he knows that military power is good, he forgets to guard against the people around him.
Chen Deng has a good idea of Liu Bei's heart.
He is definitely not someone who will stay under someone else for a long time.
Tao Qian is already old, and there is no suitable candidate for him.
Recently, he has taken a special interest in Liu Bei. Chen Deng naturally has some ideas about how Xuzhou will develop in the future.
After all, the current court has gradually lost control of the local areas.
Because of the existence of the governors, various places are vaguely close to the court.
Everything is self-evident.
Liu Bei's mansion is full of singing and dancing.
Chen Deng walked into the lobby and brought someone with him.
"Who is coming?"
Liu Bei, who was sitting in the main seat of the hall, hugged two beauties, and asked in a bohemian manner.
Chen Deng immediately replied: "This is Zang Ba, Zang Xuangao."
"From Hua County, Taishan."
"I went astray before, and I just woke up now."
"I heard your name, so I came to seek refuge."
As he said, he gave a look to Zang Ba beside him.
Zang Ba hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, saying respectfully: "I meet Mr. Liu."
Liu Bei, who was half drunk, looked at him, "Well, he has a strong physique and broad shoulders. He must be a fierce general."
"It's God's will that I, Liu Xuande, can get such a fierce general!"
"Come on, serve the wine!"
With the help of the two beauties, Liu Bei stood up and staggered to Zang Ba.
He personally handed over the wine cup, and the beauties beside him quickly filled it with wine.
"Since you have entered the door of my Liu family, you should drink this cup to the full!"
"From now on, we will share wealth and honor!"
The heroic words stimulated Zang Ba's senses, making him, who had been exiled everywhere before, feel warm in his heart.
However, he also knew that this was absolutely related to the fact that he had shown his martial arts before, defeated Zhang Kai and Bian Xi, and let Chen Deng see his true martial arts.
Taking the wine cup, Zang Ba raised his head and drank it all.
Liu Bei laughed heroically: "He is indeed a fierce general. You can see a little from his drinking!"
"Please take the table!"
Liu Bei raised his hand and invited Chen Deng and Zang Ba to take the table. Such a polite and humble manner made Zang Ba feel even warmer in his heart.
His originally flustered heart was instantly relieved.
His favorability towards Liu Bei increased greatly.
Chen Deng saw everything and thought to himself that choosing Liu Bei was indeed the right thing to do.
Although he was drunk, he was able to treat people well.
Facing a person like Zang Ba who was born in a humble family and was in exile before, he was still able to treat him warmly without any neglect. This way of treating people is not something that ordinary people can accomplish.
He had met Yuan Shao in Luoyang before, and he still remembered his arrogant look.
Liu Bei returned to the main seat with the help of two beauties. He sat down and raised his hand and waved, "Continue playing music, continue dancing!"
In the hall, there was singing and dancing.
When had Zang Ba seen such a decadent scene? After two glasses of wine, his face suddenly turned red.
…Mi Family Mansion.
Mi Fang was restless and paced back and forth in the lobby.
Mi Zhu walked into the lobby quickly, but before he could ask why he was so anxious.
Mi Fang lowered his voice and said impatiently: "I heard that Liu Bei and Chen Deng secretly discussed to take action against our Mi family!"
"Our business is getting bigger and bigger, and we have robbed too many Xuzhou noble families of their livelihoods."
"Now Liu Bei wants to unite with those people and put our Mi family to death!"
"Brother, you have to find a way quickly!"
"Otherwise, our Mi family will not be safe!"
The anxious voice echoed in Mi Zhu's ears.
"I will set off to Tanghai immediately to see my sister." Mi Zhu said decisively.
"Although my sister has been secretly sent to Tanghai before."
"But the news has always been under our control."
"Don't hide this matter anymore, you can send someone to release it secretly."
"Let Liu Bei and others have doubts, and be intimidated by the power of Tanghai and dare not act recklessly."
"Wait for me to ask for help, and our Mi family will be safe."
Mi Fang frowned, "But... do those people really dare not do it?"
Mi Zhu's face sank, "You should spread the news more harshly."
"Just say that my sister is the favorite wife of Tanghai District Mu."
"Tanghai has secretly sent Gao "Remember, everything you say should be vague." "Try to create a sense of mystery." "Wait until they figure out the truth." "I have returned from Tanghai." Mi Fang was still worried, "Brother... can you do it?" "Can Lord Tanghai really help our Mi family?" Although Mi Zhu was also in a state of anxiety, he nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely work." "I will leave immediately." After saying that, he didn't even pack his things or take any extra people with him, and immediately rushed to Xuzhou Wharf. Standing at the back door of the mansion, looking at Mi Fang riding away quickly, he felt lost. Thinking that the whole family seemed to be calm, but he didn't know when they would have to face the storm, his heart tightened and it became difficult to breathe. "Huh!" Taking a deep breath, Mi Fang tried his best to calm down. He returned to his mansion and immediately sent people to spread the news according to Mi Zhu's instructions.
Everything was arranged by him and carried out secretly.
