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

Zhuge Liang had a really good impression of Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang would remember him for the rest of his life just for the incident in Xuzhou.

If someone else were in this situation, he might consider refusing.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that even if he had all the talents of the Dragon and the Phoenix, it was a blessing from heaven for him to be able to rule the country.

But he is Liu Bei.

It was Liu Bei who rushed to Xuzhou's aid despite knowing that the enemy was powerful.

"Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, heroes have risen up across the country, but Dong Zhuo and his sons have swept across the northern frontier."

"It depends on the timing and also on people's planning."

"Now Dong Zhuo and his sons have millions of men, and it is truly impossible to compete with them."

"The north is strong, the south is exhausted. Sun Ce, with 100,000 troops in Jiangdong, could have been used as external aid, but unfortunately he was assassinated. The new lord, Sun Quan, is still young. Jiangdong's foundation is plagued by internal and external troubles. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to achieve anything in the short term."

"Although Liu Biao of Jingzhou had ambitions for advancement before, he is now old and has become a ruler who only cares about defending the city."

"Liu Zhang of Yizhou holds a vast land of abundance, yet Yizhou is plagued by powerful rivals, with a weak ruler and strong ministers."

Zhuge Liang was silent for a while, then spoke.

"So, sir, what you're saying is that no one can stop the thief Dong from taking over the world?"

"If you want to use this to persuade me to give up the idea of ​​supporting the Han Dynasty, then I will only disappoint you."

Liu Bei's eyes were firm, without the slightest hesitation.

"No."

"Liang said this to tell you, Lord Envoy, that there is no one you can trust in the world, so you should become your own supporter."

"Liu Biao's health has been declining for the past few years."

"If you truly intend to overthrow the Han Dynasty and achieve a grand hegemony, you only have a glimmer of hope if you take Jing and Yi provinces."

"Now is the best time."

"Jingzhou, with Hanmian in the north, Wuhui in the east, and Bashu in the west, is a place where military power can be deployed."

"Yizhou, the land of abundance, is a country of prosperity and strength, with abundant money and grain. It is the place where Taizu rose to power."

"These two states are the lands bestowed upon you by Heaven."

"Now, Jiangdong is deeply troubled by internal troubles and has no time to care about other things. If you take Jing and Yi provinces, there will be no one to stop you."

"After the lord captures Jingyi, Jiangdong will have no choice but to unite with us to fight against the powerful Dong father and son."

"If you can control both Jingzhou and Yizhou, you can improve your government at home and ally with Jiangdong. When there is a change in the world, you can send a general out of Jingxiang to attack Wan and Luo."

"If the envoy personally leads his elite troops out of Qinchuan to attack Chang'an, wouldn't the people offer food and drink to welcome him?"

"If it is true, then the great cause can be accomplished and the Han Dynasty can be revived!"

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan gently and spoke slowly.

"Jingzhou is Liu Jingsheng's foundation..."

"Wrong, Jingzhou is the foundation of the Han Dynasty."

"If you are still so indecisive when it comes to accomplishing great things, then you should just go back to selling straw sandals."

Liu Bei was about to say something when Zhuge Liang interrupted him.

Hey!

Just one sentence about selling straw sandals allowed Liu Bei to break through the defense.

He just wanted to refuse because of his status.

After all, as a local lord, it would not sound good if he attacked his own family members.

But now that things have come to this, I can't really go back to selling straw sandals, can I?

"Please come out and lend me a hand, sir!"

Liu Bei bowed again with a very respectful attitude.

Looking at Liu Bei, who was in such a humble position, Zhuge Liang was moved.

Sima Hui originally said that it would not be so easy for him to get her.

But at this moment, Zhuge Liang wavered.

"To achieve the general's ambition, Liang, I am willing to serve you at your service!"

Zhuge Liang straightened his clothes and bowed.

After getting Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei did not hesitate and left Wolonggang with the three of them.

By the time they rushed back to Wancheng, it was two days later.

Wancheng

"My lord, you are finally back."

"If you don't come back soon, the enemy will be at your doorstep."

Jian Yong came forward anxiously and said.

"Oh?"

"But has the thief Dong made any new moves?"

Liu Bei's expression became stern and he asked.

"According to spies, Dong Yu has led a large army to Yingchuan and is preparing food supplies from all directions."

"Also, send Huang Zhong and Huang Xu, father and son, to lead 10,000 infantry to clear the way."
