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

...

宛城

When the army returned to Wancheng, Liu Bei immediately summoned everyone to discuss the next steps.

"My lord, the outcome of this battle...did something go wrong?"

"Is my guess wrong?"

Xu Shu frowned and looked at Liu Bei's embarrassed appearance and couldn't help but say.

"No, the military advisor has made a brilliant prediction. The enemy has indeed fallen into an ambush."

"It was just that I underestimated the enemy, which allowed them to break through the encirclement."

"Although the enemy cavalry escaped, we did win this battle."

Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu gratefully and smiled.

I won, I finally won once.

When I won in the past, it was mostly because my opponents were too weak and their strength was not proportional to mine.

For example, during the rescue of Beihai, although there seemed to be a big gap in troop strength, in fact the Yellow Turban Army's combat effectiveness was too low, and then Guan Yu killed the enemy general Guan Hai in the battle.

But later, when he faced strong enemies, he was defeated almost every time.

This time, it was the first time that I achieved such great results when facing an opponent of equal strength or even stronger than myself.

Xu Shu made an indelible contribution.

"Military Advisor, I'm convinced."

Zhang Fei bowed to Xu Shu and said with admiration.

"This is what I should do."

"But from now on, I'm afraid Dong Jun won't be so easy to deal with."

"The troops arriving this time are the vanguard, and Dong Yu's main force is following behind."

"With my own abilities, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you achieve great things."

Xu Shu sighed and said with his head down.

"Shan Fu, you don't have to belittle yourself."

"Before you came to me, I rarely won a fight."

"I have great confidence in your abilities."

"It's a rare victory today. I'm planning to hold a banquet to celebrate this victory."

"This will also boost the morale of our troops."

Liu Bei held Xu Shu's hand and spoke to him with sincere eyes.

"good idea."

"My lord, I have a friend who is now living in seclusion in Wolonggang. He has extraordinary talent and unpredictable plans. How about inviting him to come with us?"

Xu Shu's eyes lit up and he immediately made a suggestion.

"Okay, then send someone to invite him."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei did not refuse, but he did not take it seriously either.

It is very common for intellectuals to flatter each other.

He just thought that Xu Shu's good friend wanted to enter the officialdom.

"My lord, this man is truly talented. How about you go there in person to show your sincerity?"

Xu Shu frowned and quickly persuaded him.

"this..."

Liu Bei felt unhappy when he heard what Xu Shu said.

He had just won a battle with great anxiety and hadn't had a chance to rest yet.

Let him rush to Wolonggang, Xiangyang now?

He had heard Xu Shu mention it before, that Wolonggang was in the mountains northwest of Xiangyang.

It’s more than 400 miles round trip, do you still want Brother Liu to not get any sleep?

“The greatest talents in the world must be given more attention.”

"This is the only way to show that the lord respects the virtuous and humble."

Xu Shu quickly opened his mouth to compliment him.

"Tomorrow."

"Dong the thief won't be here any time soon."

"Tomorrow I will rush to Xiangyang and ask to see the King of Chu again, asking him to send reinforcements to Nanyang. Otherwise, I am afraid I cannot defeat the thief Dong alone."

Liu Bei sighed and nodded in agreement.

Wolonggang is like a winding dragon lying on the bank of the Yangtze River.

The scenery here is picturesque and intoxicating.

The lush trees are like a green ocean, the chirping of insects and birds interweave into a wonderful symphony, and wisps of mist cover the mountains like a veil, making it like a fairyland.

“It’s a really nice place.”

Liu Bei felt relaxed and happy, with a hint of intoxication on his face.

"That Wolong Diaolong guy really knows how to enjoy himself."

"But shouldn't dragons be in the water? Why are they hiding in the mountains?"

Zhang Fei, carrying the 10-foot-long object, joked with a suspicious look on his face.

"The water was taken by the turtle."

Guan Yu stroked his short beard and echoed.

"..."

"Do not talk."

Liu Bei suppressed his smile and said with a stern face.

Can you be serious?

They are looking for great talents.

I'm not going to the mountains to look for turtles.

The reason why Zhang Fei and the others were so dissatisfied was that this was not their first time here.
