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

He was the King of Chu, but the beauties in his harem were all mediocre and vulgar, so he had no conditions to be stupid.

Xiangyang Chu Palace

Liu Biao sat high in the hall, looking at Liu Bei who was bowing respectfully to him, a complex expression flashed across his face.

He naturally knew why Liu Bei came here.

"Liu Bei, I meet the King of Chu."

Liu Bei clasped his hands and bowed to Liu Biao.

"Look at the seats."

Liu Biao nodded and said.

"Thank you, King Chu."

Liu Bei bowed again to express his gratitude.

I feel so much emotion in my heart.

They were both relatives of the Liu family of the Former Han Dynasty. However, Liu Biao was already the King of Chu, while Liu Bei was wandering around and was chased around like a stray dog.

God is really unfair.

This reminded Liu Bei of a saying.

The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand.

Could it be that Heaven has really died, leaving Liu Bei so miserable?

"I've heard of Xuande's name a long time ago. Now that I've seen him, I can see that his reputation is truly well-deserved."

Liu Biao looked at his younger brother and said something polite.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind."

"Bei is nothing more than a stray dog, having fought for half his life and yet having no place to stand."

"I'm almost forty, but I haven't accomplished anything in my life. I'm really ashamed."

Liu Bei sighed, lowered his head and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"Xuan De, don't underestimate yourself."

"I heard that you are determined to support the Han Dynasty. Although you were defeated in the struggle for supremacy against various rebels in the Central Plains, you have enhanced the prestige of the Han Dynasty."

Liu Biao stroked his beard. Although he felt it was funny, he did not laugh. Instead, he comforted the other party.

Is it funny?

It's funny that Liu Biao and Liu Bei were only eighteen or nineteen years apart in age.

Life circumstances are completely different.

Although he was affected by the Party Ban in the early days, he was able to resume his official career after the ban was lifted.

With the death of Emperor Ling, Liu Biao took advantage of the situation and became the governor of Jingzhou.

On the other hand, Liu Bei was really being played a big joke.

"Prince Chu, before I came here, I had always heard of his reputation for virtue, and that he and I are of the same clan."

"I earnestly implore the King of Chu to unite with Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, to jointly support the Han Dynasty and defeat the bandits, lest they usurp the Han throne."

"Liu Bei is willing to lead his troops to fully assist the King of Chu."

Liu Bei looked at Liu Biao with burning eyes and asked.

"I am the King of Chu of the Han Dynasty. Now the imperial court is controlled by thieves. The country is in danger. I must devote all my energy to it."

"It's just that I'm powerless."

Liu Biao stroked his beard and said with a look of shame on his face.

Support the Han Dynasty?

Liu Biao actually wanted to too.

After all, as long as he really succeeded, he, Liu Biao, would be the emperor, the Son of Heaven, and a figure like Emperor Guangwu.

But what is the truth?

It was already very difficult for him to defend Jingzhou.

Because of his ambitions in his early years, Liu Biao offended many people.

Wars broke out on two fronts, attacking Yangzhou in the east and advancing to Yizhou in the west.

He offended all the neighbors on all sides, but did not make any substantial progress.

In a nutshell, Liu Biao's life can be summarized in one sentence.

If I don't live well, others can't expect me to live well either.

Let’s take a look at the places where Liu Biao went to war with him.

Liu Yan died early, and the Shu region was in constant civil strife.

Sun Jian died early, and his son was driven like a dog by Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu died early, and the Yuan family, which had three generations of officials, fell into ruin.

Zhang Xian died early...uh, the old man hasn't died yet, but it is said that he will die soon.

Liu Bei harmed his lord, but Liu Biao harmed the enemy.

He was now thinking about when he could kill Dong Zhuo and his son, so that he could restore the Han Dynasty without fighting.

Seeing that Liu Biao's determination to support the Han Dynasty was not firm, Liu Bei felt helpless.

At the same time, he also labeled Liu Biao as a coward in his mind.

If Liu Bei had an army of more than 100,000, abundant money and food, and sufficient weapons and armor, he would have gone crazy killing people.

"Xuan De."

"The matter of supporting the Han Dynasty requires long-term planning and there is no time to rush."

"I'm planning to transfer Cai Mao back to Xiangyang and have you take charge of Nanyang. Would you be willing to do that?"

Liu Biao looked at Liu Bei and asked with a smile.

Cai Mao was disobedient, so he had to find someone to guard the north gate for him.

Otherwise, if Dong Yu's army marched south and Cai Mao surrendered without even defending the city, it would have been a huge blow to the morale of Jingzhou.

Liu Biao could not afford the consequences.

"Does the King of Chu really mean what he said?"

"If that's the case, I'm willing to go there and guard the northern gateway for Jingzhou."

Liu Bei, who was originally full of disappointment, suddenly brightened up his eyes and clasped his fists excitedly.

Seeing Liu Bei so excited, Liu Biao felt a little disgusted.

I'm lending it to you, not giving it to you. Why are you so excited?

However, although he was annoyed, Liu Biao had no choice but to use Liu Bei.

Who made Cai Mao and the Dong family flirt with each other?

Compared with Cai Mao, Liu Bei, a big brother who came from a gangster background, is obviously not a softie and will definitely fight the Dong family to the end.

"Okay, go down and prepare first, I will make it happen as soon as possible."

After a long while, Liu Biao gave instructions to Liu Bei.

"promise!"

"I'll take my leave."

Liu Bei suppressed his joy, bowed to Liu Biao, and left the main hall.

After Liu Bei left, Liu Biao turned his attention to Kuai Liang, whom he relied on quite a lot.

"Zirou, what do you think of Liu Bei?"

Liu Biao looked at Kuai Liang and asked.

"Liu Bei is a man of great ambitions. I'm afraid he won't be someone who stays under someone else's thumb for long."

“You can use it, but you can’t trust it.”

Kuai Liang glanced at Liu Biao and spoke very tactfully.

"Well, that's true."

"Liu Bei has been on the move for many years and has a strong will. It will take more effort to gain control."

Liu Biao nodded in agreement.

Seeing Liu Biao say this, Kuai Liang's eyes twitched slightly.

He was afraid that Liu Biao would misunderstand him as xenophobic, so he said it so tactfully.

No, he doesn't think he's being very straightforward, does he?

Who is Liu Bei?

After all, he was once a local lord. He came to you because he was beaten to the point of having no choice. Do you really think you can control him?

Even if, even if you have that ability.

But are you sure you have that fate?

Look at the people Liu Bei surrendered to, how many of them are still alive?

Gongsun Zan died, Tao Qian died, and even Cao Cao, who had had a little cooperation with them, didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

You have such a big heart!

Even so, Kuai Liang didn't know history. If he knew that Liu Bei had defeated Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao, I wonder what he would think.

"Your Majesty."

"Is it possible that I was being too polite?"

Kuai Liang thought it was a good idea to hang out with Liu Biao, so he kindly gave him a reminder.

"Well, what do you mean?"

Liu Biao looked at Kuai Liang in confusion.

"Liu Bei... he has bad luck and is a hindrance to his master."

Kuai Liang cupped his hands and spoke hesitantly.
