Since they were all family, Guan Yu could finally tell Liu Bei and Zhang Fei about his grievances.

When they heard what Guan Yu said in person, they realized how much suffering and injustice Guan Yu had endured during the time they were separated from him.

Zhang Fei's mentality immediately became balanced.

"You should surrender!"

Zhang Fei took a sip of wine and grinned.

"Third brother!"

"It's all over."

"Yunchang, take a good rest."

Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei and then comforted him.

"Brother, I came back from Hanzhong this time and passed by Niutou Mountain in Nanyang. I recruited a group of bandits."

"The leader, Zhou Cang, is exceptionally brave and courageous, and even more remarkable is his loyalty and righteousness."

"This time, they will come with me. I will have them stay outside the city."

Guan Yu thought of Zhou Cang and immediately said to Liu Bei.

"what!"

“It’s them.”

"I'm worried about how to persuade them to come down the mountain and join our army."

"I didn't expect that my second brother would make such a great contribution right after returning."

"Xianhe, go tell Shan Fu to go and settle Brother Zhou Cang and his men."

Liu Bei showed a look of surprise and immediately gave instructions to Jian Yong.

"promise!"

Jian Yong smiled, responded, and quickly left the hall.

"Brother, it's been several years since we last met. I wonder how we are doing now?"

"How many soldiers and counselors are under your command?"

Guan Yu watched Jian Yong leave, then looked at Liu Bei.

"Haha, to be honest, I don't have many people under my command right now."

"There are no more than twenty generals and no more than thirty thousand soldiers."

"The advisors are Xianhe, Gongyou, and Shanfu, who has been with us for two years."

Liu Bei felt that he had indeed made a lot of progress, at least he was more powerful than when he was in Xuzhou.

Although there are fewer soldiers, he has now learned Dong Jun's elite soldier system.

The quality of soldiers is more important than quantity.

In the past two years, the number of people has grown from 10,000 to 30,000, which is a very good progress.

The reason he said this was actually because he was being modest and waiting for his second brother to praise him.

"What, only this much?"

Guan Yu's face changed and he said in disbelief.

When he was in Cao's army, Guan Yu discovered how big the gap between the two sides was.

After being captured, he also obtained some relevant information from Dong's army.

The gap between Cao Cao and Liu Bei is so huge, not to mention the even stronger thief Dong.

The bandit Dong boasts of having a thousand generals and hundreds of strategists.

"Hey, my brother is just a county governor, how many soldiers can he have?"

"Liu Biao is extremely worried about the 30,000 troops and is on guard all the time."

Zhang Fei on the side spoke the truth.

Is it that they don't want to recruit more soldiers and have to implement some elite soldier system?

No, they have no choice but to use elite troops.

Nanyang was the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The population at its peak was over two million, nearly three million.

Although they suffered a lot from the Yellow Turbans and Yuan Shu, the base number was there, and a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, right?

We can still gather 700,000 people.

Even a county is catching up with another state.

With such a large population, if Liu Bei was not restrained, he would still be able to recruit an army of 50,000 or 60,000, but it would be more difficult.

Nearly ten to one is the limit during wartime.

Even so, I'm afraid men will have to fight and women will have to transport.

"Brother, we must break free from the shackles."

"The thief Dong has his sights set on conquering the world, and already eight states have fallen into his hands."

"After two years of recuperation, I'm afraid he can't wait to head south and take over the whole world."

"Brother, how can you support the Han Dynasty with just these few men?"

Guan Yu said with a serious expression.

"It's easy to say, but Xuzhou is lost!"

"Nowadays, living under someone else's roof, naturally there are restrictions."

Zhang Fei on the side was a little unhappy and spoke immediately.

"How dare you ask why Xuzhou was lost?"

"You drank too much and made mistakes, which led to the ambush of Xia Pi and the collapse of the front line."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu angrily brought up old grudges.

"Didn't you surrender to the enemy?"
