The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 206 Gan Zhaolie Arrives, the Real and Fake Liu Bei

"I naturally trust the Emperor's uncle's loyalty to the Han Dynasty. I also believe that the Emperor's uncle will lead his five generals to help me defend the Han Dynasty, right?"

Xiu looked at the young man in front of him who was several years younger than him and agreed with some embarrassment. Due to the huge gap in their status and age, and the concern that his choice might affect the order of time and space, Xiu could only superficially agree to the young leader's request.

"Gongsun Zan!"

"exist!"

As Liu Bian opened his mouth, a muscular man suddenly appeared behind him and knelt down in front of him.

"Uncle, I am in a very dangerous situation now. There are not many people I can trust. Even my uncle He Jin can frame me for his own benefit. Therefore, you are one of the few people I can trust."

Liu Bian moved aside, revealing Gongsun Zan behind him, and introduced him to Xiu.

"This is my General Fenwu Gongsun Zan. He is a close confidant of my mother. Gongsun Zan has a 30,000-man guard force within the Youzhou sphere of influence. I have decided to hand this force over to my uncle. If I am in any danger in the palace in the future, I hope my uncle can bring this force to rescue me immediately!"

Liu Bian took a token from Gongsun Zan, on which were engraved the five words "Guangxi Personal Guards", and then Liu Bian handed the token to Xiu.

"With this token, the emperor can mobilize this army at any time."

"But leader, Youzhou is so far away from the capital. If something unexpected happens, even if I mobilize troops immediately, will it be in time?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, Uncle, if you encounter an emergency, you can contact Tian Kai, the head of the Qingzhou District School Alliance. He has 1 soldiers under his command and is ready to be deployed at any time!"

Xiu thought about the distance between Qingzhou and the capital. If he could mobilize troops in time, this guard could reach the capital within two hours. Although it could not immediately reverse the situation, it could still delay the war for a while.

"Alliance leader, why doesn't this army just stay stationed near the capital?"

Xiu was a little confused. Wouldn't it be more convenient for this troop to be stationed near the capital?

"Ugh…"

Liu Bian sighed and said somewhat dejectedly.

"The area near the capital is controlled by my uncle He Jin and the Ten Eunuchs. I cannot deploy any troops, but I have some information to share with you. My uncle, General He Jin, and the Ten Eunuchs are at odds with each other. They have formed a terrifying balance with the royalists behind me. I hope this information will be helpful to you, my uncle!"

After listening to Liu Bian's words, Xiu nodded but said nothing, and couldn't help thinking in his heart.

"Could this army be the foreshadowing of the Three Kingdoms in the future? President, I really don't want to become an enemy of you!"

Seeing that Xiu was a little distracted, Liu Bian seemed to know that this task was too difficult and immediately added.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry too much. The 3 troops I gave you are only a part of them. I still have some troops with Fang Mu. If anything unexpected happens, my beloved Lord Fang will bring his troops to support you!"

Liu Bian's words were shocking, and Xiu's eyes widened immediately, a little unable to believe his ears.

"Alliance leader, the Lord Fang you're referring to is not Fang Mu, right?"

Xiu seemed to know what Fang Mu had been doing during the time he disappeared.

"Indeed, Uncle, you also know Lord Fang. In fact, half a year ago, before my power was completely emptied, I appointed Lord Fang the King of Xiliang. Although it was a sinecure without any real power, Lord Fang relied on his own strength to carve out a niche for himself in the chaotic Xiliang region. According to the secret letter Lord Fang sent back last time, he has already stationed 3 troops in Xiliang. Now, with the addition of the troops under your command, I believe that no one else will dare to do anything to me in the short term!"

……

Xiu returned to the Cao family compound and kept thinking about Fang Mu becoming the King of Xiliang. He was very sure that there was no such character as the King of Xiliang in the Three Kingdoms, but Fang Mu played this role.

Wouldn't Fang Mu's actions affect the order of time and space?

Xiu sat on the sofa, thinking deeply, and finally made up his mind to go to Xiliang to find Fang Mu and ask him clearly!

Just when Xiu wanted to find his brothers to discuss going to Xiliang, a voice suddenly came to his ears. Xiu was slightly stunned, and then teleported away from the Cao family compound.

"Hey, was the person who just teleported over there Big Brother?"

Huang Zhong pulled back his hair that was blown away by the wind. He did see a figure teleporting past him just now, but the speed was too fast and he didn't see the face clearly.

"It seems so. Big brother, you're in such a hurry to go out alone without even saying hello. Is there something urgent?"

Ma Chao scratched his head and asked with some confusion, but he and Huang Zhong looked at each other and couldn't figure it out, so they continued to do their own things.

……

"Brothers, I'm back!"

Just as everyone was preparing for dinner, Liu Bei walked into the Cao family compound with a girl.

"Hey, Brother Liu, this girl is..."

Cao Cao noticed the pretty girl next to Liu Bei at a glance, and similarly, Ah Xiang also noticed this girl.

"Hello everyone, my name is Gan Zhaolie, and I'm Liu Bei's fiancée. Please take care of me in the future!"

"puff!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei sprayed the juice in his mouth onto Ma Chao in front of him. However, Ma Chao had no time to scold Zhang Fei. He looked at Gan Zhaolie in front of him with disbelief.

"fiancée?"

The five Tiger Generals looked at each other, mouthed the three words to each other, then looked at Gan Zhaolie and then at Ah Xiang next to them.

“Be prepared…”

Ah Xiang was also a little confused, but to everyone's surprise, Ah Xiang did not immediately become jealous of Liu Bei like other little girls, but returned to her seat and ate dinner calmly.

"Everyone, let's eat first. Butler, bring another set of bowls, chopsticks and seats!"

Seeing the awkward situation, Cao Cao quickly tried to smooth things over. He then called the housekeeper to buy more bowls, chopsticks and stools, and also arranged a seat for Gan Zhaolie.

"I want to sit with Brother Bei!"

Gan Zhaolie looked innocent as he moved the stool next to Liu Bei, seeming to stick to him. Liu Bei didn't seem to mind and seemed to enjoy it instead.

"A Xiang, do you know what happened to Brother Liu?"

Looking at the two people talking and laughing, Cao Cao whispered to Ah Xiang beside him.

"I don't know either. Beibei never mentioned this girl to me, nor did he tell me that he would bring someone back today!"

Ah Xiang was also very angry. Originally, Huang's mother took "him" out this afternoon saying that she had something important to discuss. "He" said that he would talk to her about the new song he wrote tonight, but unexpectedly, he brought back a girl whom he didn't know at all, and she was his fiancée!

"Brother Bei, I want to eat that!"

Gan Zhaolie pointed to a lobster on the table, and Liu Bei immediately smiled and picked one up and put it in Gan Zhaolie's bowl.

"Well~ I need my brother to feed me!"

"Okay, okay, I'll feed you. You're my little sweetheart!"

Liu Bei said this lovingly, then peeled the shrimp and carefully put it into Gan Zhaolie's mouth.

"puff!"

Hearing the three words "Xiaoxin Gan", Zhang Fei spurted out another mouthful of juice, spraying Ma Chao in front of him with blood again.

"Fei, what are you doing!"

Ma Chao quickly picked up a tissue to wipe it, and Zhang Fei kept saying sorry to Ma Chao.

"I'm stuffed!"

Ah Xiang could no longer bear the ambiguous atmosphere at the dinner table. She put down the cutlery in her hands, wiped her mouth, and immediately went upstairs to her room.

"Brother, sister-in-law seems angry, do you want to go see her?"

Diao Chan and Guan Yu looked at each other, and then Guan Yu spoke to Liu Bei beside him. Just when Liu Bei was about to say something, Gan Zhaolie suddenly interrupted.

"You are Brother Bei's second brother Guan Yu, right? I want to correct you. Since I am Liu Bei's fiancée, then I should be your sister-in-law. If Brother Bei wants to coax someone, it should be me!"

Gan Zhaolie openly revealed his possessiveness towards Liu Bei. Just when his brothers were about to object, Liu Bei suddenly spoke.

"That's right. I can only devote my time and energy to my little Gan. I don't have time to care about other girls!"

"Other girls?"

Everyone looked incredulous; they couldn't believe what they heard.

"Big brother actually calls sister-in-law another girl?"
