Can I get to the other side?

"Borrow troops?"

The two words Liu Bei said instantly extinguished Yuan Shao's enthusiasm, even the flames were gone.

He knew that the purpose of this guy coming here was not that simple!

Although Yuan Shao's enthusiasm was no longer there, he couldn't change his face directly on the surface, so he pretended to be concerned and asked: "What happened? Xuande actually wanted to borrow troops from me? Where are your troops in Pei County?"

Liu Bei said ashamedly: "Brother Yuan, you don't know, I was ambushed by Lu Bu's three-surnamed slaves. Not only did I lose Pei County, but even my wife and children were captured by them."

"Now I have nowhere to go, so I came to seek help from Brother Yuan."

"Brother Yuan is now promoted to the general and the great Sima, in charge of the world's military affairs. I hope Brother Yuan can lend me some troops to help me fight against the traitor Lu Bu and recapture Pei County."

Liu Bei looked sincere and stood up and saluted Yuan Shao.

"This..."

After hearing Liu Bei's purpose, Yuan Shao hesitated.

He didn't say yes, but he didn't refuse directly.

Seeing Yuan Shao's hesitation, Zhang Fei couldn't help but said, "It's just borrowing troops, not not returning them. As long as Pei County is taken back, the three of us brothers will definitely not owe you a debt!"

"Yide, don't be rude!"

Liu Bei turned around and scolded, then apologized to Yuan Shao, "Brother Yuan, please forgive my third brother for his rough temper."

Zhang Fei retreated to the back with a hum.

The reason why he was so rude in front of Yuan Shao was intentional, otherwise Liu Bei would not be able to get off the stage.

The two brothers have used this trick many times, and the effect is good.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao's attitude softened slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I don't disagree, but borrowing troops is not a trivial matter. Xuande, let me think about it for one night and give you an answer tomorrow, how about it?"

Liu Bei smiled and bowed his hands, "Of course."

He didn't expect Yuan Shao to agree immediately. Borrowing troops is indeed not a trivial matter. How many troops to borrow and how much food and grass to give all need to be discussed.

If Yuan Shao agreed immediately, he would be suspicious.

After talking about this, Yuan Shao looked at the other person standing next to Liu Bei, and his eyes lit up slightly.

"General Guan, long time no see."

Yuan Shao greeted with a smile.

He was deeply impressed by Guan Yu. When he was fighting against Dong Zhuo, he killed Hua Xiong with warm wine. What a style, he still remembers it.

It can be said that none of his generals can compare with Guan Yu.

Guan Yu bowed to Yuan Shao as a return gift, and then still stood by Liu Bei's side, like a guardian.

Feeling Guan Yu's coldness, Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel jealous of Liu Bei.

Whether it was Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, they were all fierce generals who could defeat thousands of enemies.

Even if you look at the world, such a general is extremely rare.

"How can a poor royal family member who made straw sandals be so loyal to two powerful generals?"

"What a shitty luck!"

Yuan Shao was quite jealous. He looked down on Liu Bei, but he was very envious of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

If he could recruit these two people, he would be able to defeat an army of 100,000!

"Brother Yuan, when can we go to see His Majesty?"

Liu Bei asked. Since he came to Yecheng, he must go to see the emperor, otherwise it would be unreasonable.

Yuan Shao put away his sourness and said with a smile: "I have sent someone to the palace to report to His Majesty. It should be soon... Look, it's here."

Just as he was talking, Ju Su walked into the hall.

"My lord, I have reported to His Majesty. His Majesty said that Liu Shijun and the other two should be allowed to enter the palace to meet him." Ju Su said.

Yuan Shao nodded, stood up and said, "Let's go, Xuande, I'll take you there."

He was worried about letting Liu Bei and the other two go to see the emperor alone, so it would be safer for him to take them there himself, so that he could save the situation if anything happened.

So the group set off for the palace.

...

At this time, inside the palace.

Liu Xie had changed his clothes and was waiting in the hall.

After Ju Su's training, his words and deeds were no different from those of the real emperor, and no one could see any flaws.

But when he thought that he was going to meet the Liu, Guan, and Zhang trio later, Liu Xie was still a little nervous.

It was not because of anything else, but because he was going to meet a living historical figure, and one of the forces in the future Three Kingdoms.

"Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei..."

Liu Xie murmured to himself, these three people can be said to be a model of brotherhood, and I don't know how many people they have influenced in later generations.

It can be said that without them, the Three Kingdoms would be less exciting and romantic.

"Your Majesty, someone is coming."

When Liu Xie was thinking about something, Guo Jia, who was standing next to him, whispered a reminder and pulled his thoughts back.

Liu Xie looked outside the hall and saw a group of people coming in.

The leaders were Yuan Shao and Ju Su, old acquaintances.

The three people following behind had a strange look.

One had arms over his knees and very long earlobes;

One had a leopard head and round eyes, a swallow chin and a tiger beard;

One had a face like a red date and a majestic bearing.

With just one glance, Liu Xie confirmed their identities.

It was Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei!

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms really didn't lie to me."

Liu Xie sighed in his heart. The three brothers looked similar to the descriptions in the book. It can be said that they were very vivid and highly recognizable.

After the group walked into the hall, Yuan Shao saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I am here with Liu Bei, a relative of the Han Dynasty, to see you."

After the words fell, Liu Bei stepped forward and saluted Liu Xie respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I am Liu Bei, and I pay my respects to you!"

Liu Xie looked at Liu Bei and asked curiously: "Are you Liu Bei? I heard that you are a relative of the Han Dynasty. I wonder who your ancestors are? Which lineage is it?"

Liu Bei answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, my ancestor is Liu Sheng, the seventh son of Emperor Xiaojing and King Jing of Zhongshan. I am the 17th generation grandson of King Jing of Zhongshan."

"So that's the case, then I should call you my uncle!"

Liu Xie suddenly realized.

But this made Liu Bei stunned.

Is it so fast to calculate the generation?

Shouldn't you look through the family tree?

This is too hasty...

But how could he know that Liu Xie also wanted to play a drama of looking through the family tree to recognize his relatives? But the family tree is all in the hands of the real Liu Xie, and he has nothing here.

So it's better to keep it simple and recognize the relatives directly.

Although Liu Bei felt that something seemed to be wrong, he naturally would not refute it, because this was an acknowledgement from the emperor.

To be honest, some people had always questioned his identity as the King of Zhongshan Jing, because there were too many descendants of the King of Zhongshan Jing, and it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

But now the emperor personally acknowledged it and called him the emperor's uncle.

Then no one could question his identity from now on!

His identity as a relative of the Han Dynasty was truly confirmed.
