System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"Let's go with the wind..."

Liu Bei held the sword in both hands and danced with the wind in the courtyard.

"Brother, don't follow the wind. We are both exhausted after working the fields all morning."

Guan Yu touched his red face covered in sweat and complained.

"That's right. We're so tired that our feet are hitting our heads, and you're dancing with swords in this yard."

Zhang Fei, carrying a hoe, complained in a bad mood.

"What a great reversal of the Heavenly Gang."

"You call me Big Brother, why don't you let me be lazy for a while?"

Liu Bei sheathed his swords and glanced at Guan Yu.

"..."

"Brother, don't worry about these little things."

"Xiaopei is not a place to live for a long time. Can Xuzhou still be yours?"

Guan Yu pursed his lips and then asked in a low voice.

"I never thought that Cao Cao would be scared off by a letter from me."

Liu Bei smiled bitterly, obviously very distressed.

At first, he wanted to lure Yuan Shu into the game, let Cao and Yuan go to war, and then reap the benefits and seize Xuzhou.

But unexpectedly, Cao Cao retreated at the critical moment.

It doesn’t matter if Cao Cao retreats, the key is that Yuan Shu came and didn’t leave.

After a battle, Tao Qian reluctantly ceded Guangling County to Yuan Shu.

In order to "repay" Liu Bei's great help, Tao Qian recommended Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou and let him occupy Xiaopei.

To put it nicely, it was a reward; to put it bluntly, it was letting Liu Bei be a pawn.

After all, if Cao Cao wanted to attack Xuzhou, he had to go through Xiaopei.

Even if we attack Xia Pi from other routes, we cannot ignore Xiao Pei.

Otherwise, Xiaopei could send troops at any time to cut off Cao Cao's logistical supplies.

"Hey, what do you mean by scaring Cao Cao away with a letter? It's clearly someone else's backyard that's on fire, yet you're trying to flatter yourself."

Zhang Fei laughed evilly and teased.

"This kind of thing should just be kept between the three of us brothers. Don't spread it outside."

"I've been promoting and building momentum in Xuzhou all this time. If a black fellow like you gets involved, I'll tie you to a tree and whip you like I did to that Inspector."

Liu Bei's face darkened and he immediately gave a reminder.

"Don't worry, bro. I'm awake."

Zhang Fei responded quickly.

"My Lord, there's a letter from Yanzhou."

"Cao Cao has sent a letter inviting you to Yanzhou to help him repel the enemy."

Sun Qian ran over in a panic and said anxiously.

"what?"

"Sun Gongyou, have you drunk too much?"

"Cao Cao, should we send troops to help him repel the enemy?"

Zhang Fei looked at Sun Qian in confusion and asked in disbelief.

"I'm not drunk."

"Hey, the letter is right here."

Sun Qian shook his head speechlessly and hurriedly handed the letter to Liu Bei.

"Let me send troops?"

"It's ridiculous."

Liu Bei sneered, and his expression changed after he spread out the letter.

"hateful!"

"Cao is such a vicious villain."

Liu Bei crumpled the silk into a ball and cursed with a gloomy look.

"Brother, what did the letter say?"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei asked with strange expressions.

"Cao the thief said that he withdrew his troops out of my favor."

"Now there's a rebellion in his Yanzhou, so let me repay him for this favor."

"How shameless! The fire started in his own backyard."

Liu Bei told the contents of the letter truthfully, and while speaking he did not forget to curse the hateful thief Cao.

"Why don't we just not go?"

Guan Yu said with a relaxed look.

"He said that if I didn't go, he would send people to spread the word that I was ungrateful."

Liu Bei explained with some grievance.

Sun Qian: "How hateful!"

Zhang Fei: "That's truly abominable."

Guan Yu: "Big brother's character cannot be destroyed."

They have nothing now, and a mere Xiaopei is not even a place to stand.

If the glorious image they have worked so hard to build collapses, they will be finished.

"There's no other choice but to send troops."

Liu Bei shook his head helplessly.

Everyone headed out of the mansion.

As soon as I walked into the front hall, I saw Chen Qun coming towards me.

"Envoy, you are in such a hurry, what are you going to do?"

Chen Qun stopped and asked in confusion.

"Ah, Changwen, we are going to send troops to Yanzhou to help Cao Cao put down the rebellion."

When Liu Bei saw that it was Chen Qun, he immediately explained with a smile.

"Who gave the Envoy this idea?"
