Your Majesty, please spare Diao Chan; your yang energy is too strong.

Liu Bei was filled with regret.

If he had listened to Zhou Heng back then, how could he have suffered this misfortune today?

Thinking of this.

Liu Bei immediately summoned Zhang Fei.

"Yide, do you know where Master Zixiu is? Quickly invite him here, I want to repent to him in person."

Liu Bei quickly pressed for more information.

The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more he wanted to slap himself hard.

The more he thought about it, the more regretful he felt.

A person who could predict Lü Bu's moves a month in advance.

What extraordinary talent does he possess?

With his help, how can I not succeed in my great undertaking?

With his help, why should I worry about the Han Dynasty not prospering?

But this is the kind of person who sought refuge with me, and instead of cherishing them, I treated them worse...

The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more distressed he became.

He immediately summoned Zhang Fei.

"Zixiu? Who is that!"

Zhang Fei was completely dumbfounded.

Zhou Heng, whom he had beaten up, had completely forgotten about it the next day, let alone a month later.

In addition, Zhou Heng left without saying goodbye.

I haven't been in his sight for a month, so naturally I can't remember him at all.

"It's Zhou Heng, Zhou Zixiu! Don't tell me you didn't bring him with you when you escaped from Xuzhou?"

Liu Bei was extremely anxious.

Even because of nervousness.

The palm of Zhang Fei's hand was covered in a fine layer of sweat.

After all, Liu Bei's early life was filled with hardship and displacement, so he knew very well the importance of talented people.

The thought that the person he had been dreaming of had slipped through his fingers was truly horrifying.

Liu Bei was filled with regret.

"Ah..." Zhang Fei was completely bewildered.

"Third brother, isn't that Zhou Heng, the clerk who predicted Lü Bu's rebellion a month ago? Didn't you lash out at him for saying you were afraid of Lü Bu and whipped him thirty times?"

It was only after Guan Yu reminded Zhang Fei that he remembered.

"Ah, it's him!" Zhang Fei suddenly realized.

But she quickly became confused again.

"Brother, I don't know. I haven't seen him for a month."

Zhang Fei said blankly.

"what?"

Liu Bei was so angry that his heart and liver ached.

I left you in Xuzhou, and now you don't even know where your men have gone.

Ask three questions.

Is this how you defend Xuzhou for me?

Liu Bei was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

Originally, losing Xuzhou wouldn't have been such a big loss if we could have acquired a great talent.

It's still acceptable.

So you told me that you would stay in Xuzhou and help me defend it.

The person you had is gone, and you didn't even know it.

My great talent!

"are you mad at me.........."

Liu Bei grew angrier the more he thought about it.

If the person in front of me isn't my third brother...

He wanted nothing more than to rip the other person's head off and see what was inside.

"Why aren't you going to go find it?"

It took Liu Bei a long time to calm his turbulent emotions before he waved his hand weakly.

"Yes." Zhang Fei dared not refute.

"Oh, by the way, please call the two Mi brothers over for me."

"The Mi family?" Zhang Fei looked conflicted.

"What's wrong?" A bad feeling arose in Liu Bei's mind again.

"You're not going to tell me you escaped without them, are you?"

"Brother, I fought Lu Bu for a hundred rounds while I was drunk. Xuzhou had already fallen, and I could only take my men..." Zhang Fei said softly.

"You're really going to drive me crazy, Mi family! They're the source of all our logistics. Without the Mi family, we couldn't have stabilized Xuzhou. Without the Mi family, we wouldn't be where we are today. And now you're telling me you've lost them?"

Liu Bei's chest heaved violently with anger.

It's important to understand that the Mi brothers were not just his subordinates.

It also provides logistical support for him.

Without the Mi brothers, they would all be squatting in some remote corner of the world right now.

What makes them capable of taking Xuzhou?

And there's another secret he didn't tell...

The two Mi brothers were planning to marry their younger sister to him.

So, by that logic, the other party could be considered my brother-in-law.

As for the youngest sister of the Mi family, that stunning beauty.

Although he had only met her once, he was already deeply attracted to her.

If it weren't for concerns about his reputation, and given that he already has a wife and her status prevents him from being a concubine, he probably would have married her long ago.

However, even so, it's only a matter of time.

Because he needed the full support of the Mi family.

It is absolutely impossible for them to simply be a superior-subordinate relationship.

Therefore, this marriage alliance still needs to be formed.

As a result... now you've not only lost my Xuzhou, my wife, and my great talent, but also my future wife and logistical support.

All those years of hard work vanished in an instant.

"puff."

Liu Bei was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backward.

Fainted again.

It terrified Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

If that were all, Liu Bei would be angry, but he could still barely accept it.

But after he woke up...

Zhang Fei's next words almost gave him a stroke.

"My brother has already investigated and found out that Zhou Heng left us a month ago, resigned from his official post, and started his own business. Now..."

"The Mi brothers were rescued by Zhou Heng, and the Mi family pledged allegiance to Zhou Heng. Furthermore, three days ago they even... married Mi Zhu's sister."

Zhang Fei spoke cautiously.

"boom."

These words struck Liu Bei like a thunderbolt, crashing into his mind.

This left him completely dumbfounded.

"What did you say?"

It took Liu Bei a long time to react. He looked at Zhang Fei with trembling eyes, his face full of disbelief.

The great talent he deeply regretted had broken away from the power he had created.

Now he dominates Xuzhou, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers.

A few days ago, he easily rescued the Mi family from Lü Bu's hands with a ragtag group of people without lifting a finger.

They completely outmaneuvered Lü Bu.

In his heart, Mi Zhen was destined to become his wife.

Did she marry the most talented man she regrets?

This is equivalent to...

The company employee I used to look down on the most has now not only resigned but also started his own business.

He also created a large company that was in no way inferior to his own.

He even more boldly attracted his fiancée.

That fiancée originally belonged to him.

The company he founded originally belonged to him.

result..........

"puff."

Well, Liu Bei was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

However, Liu Bei fainted repeatedly due to anger.

He suffered repeated defeats in his battles against Yuan Shu.

Forced into a corner, he could only flee to Xiaopei and seek help from Lü Bu, who had once begged him to accept him.
