Three Kingdoms: I will return it ten thousand times, my lord, I will never keep it for myself

In the mansion of the governor of Zhuo County, the lights were bright and a grand banquet was being held. The generals of the Bingzhou Army sat together to discuss how to further consolidate their control over the overall situation in Youzhou.

At the banquet, Liu Yao raised his glass and shouted, laughing and chatting with everyone, showing his pride.

"Come on! Everyone! In this battle, a bright new star emerged in our Bingzhou Army. He was brave and fearless, and defeated Yan Liang. In one battle, Yuan Shao's army was defeated!"

"Come on! Let's drink this glass of wine together! Let's celebrate together that a rising general has appeared in our Bingzhou!"

"Cheers! Cheers to the heroic and unparalleled General Zhao Yun!"

Before the words fell, the guests in the hall raised their glasses in their hands, full of pride.

In this battle, Zhao Yun defeated Yan Liang's army head-on with a thunderous force, and almost captured Yuan Shao, the hero of the troubled times, alive.

With this glorious military exploit alone, Zhao Yun has been able to gain a firm foothold in Bingzhou and become famous!

You know, Yuan Shao was born in a prominent family, with three dukes in four generations. His power is complex and huge. And Zhao Yun can achieve such a great feat in front of such a powerful enemy, which is really amazing.

"Report--"

The banquet was in full swing, with laughter and joy, when a guard hurried in and interrupted the joy.

"My lord, Generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are seeking an audience outside, and it seems that there is something urgent."

Liu Yao frowned slightly, and doubts arose in his heart.

"They are coming now? Introduce them quickly."

Tian Feng and Guo Jia heard the words, their eyes met, and they understood each other tacitly, and a deep meaning quietly flowed.

"Brother Ziyi! Your behavior is really against brotherhood! My elder brother risked his life to help you defend Zhuo County, and now he is seriously injured, pierced by arrows, and unconscious, but you turned a deaf ear to it! What do you want to do?"

Zhang Fei's words exploded like thunder, shocking everyone in the hall, and their eyes turned to Liu Yao.

Liu Yao was stunned, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and asked in disbelief:

"Why do you say that? Brother Xuande has suffered such a disaster? This...what is going on?"

Guo Jia hurriedly stepped out of the queue, looking solemn.

"My lord, I recall that Lord Xuande was unfortunately shot by an arrow in the past and was in critical condition. I immediately dispatched a military doctor to treat him. However, at that time, you were deeply involved in the stalemate of the battle to encircle and annihilate Ju Yi, and the situation was critical, so this matter was accidentally delayed and not reported in time."

"The failure of this matter is entirely due to my negligence, Guo Jia. It is really my fault! I beg the lord to punish me!"

After speaking, Tian Feng also stepped forward with a firm face.

"My lord, Yuan Hao was responsible for commanding this battle. Such omissions should be attributed to me. I hope the lord will punish me severely!"

Liu Yao's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand to signal the two to stay calm.

"Let's not talk about this for now. How is Brother Xuande's health?"

Zhang Fei walked up sullenly: "Humph! My eldest brother is now in a coma, with a high fever all day long, and even the military doctor said that he could not save him."

Liu Yao narrowed his eyes.

"In this case, invite Mr. Hua Tuo here immediately! Treat him at all costs!"

"Zhang Fei! Guan Yu! I was indeed negligent in this matter. I apologize to you!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that Liu Yao was very sincere, so they didn't say much, but left the hall silently.

Guo Jia and Tian Feng saw the backs of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and a trace of viciousness flashed in their eyes.

Liu Yao slowly lowered his body and sat back on the main seat that symbolized authority. His eyes were deep, as if he was seeing through people's hearts.

"Feng Xiao, Yuan Hao, you two actually hid so deeply from me." His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of imperceptible majesty.

Guo Jia and Tian Feng heard the words, their faces froze, and then they knelt on the ground without hesitation, with a respectful attitude.

"My Lord!" Guo Jia spoke first, his voice firm, "Since we two are determined to follow you, we should clear all obstacles for your great cause!"

Tian Feng followed closely behind, his tone full of loyalty.

"My Lord, Liu Bei is a noble man of the Han Dynasty. He is tough and flexible, and he is truly extraordinary. He also has two brave generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who are loyal to him and swear to serve him to the death."

"Such a person is like a dragon in the abyss. Once the time is right, he will soar into the sky!" Tian Feng's words revealed his deep fear and vigilance of Liu Bei.

"And the orthodoxy of the world has always belonged to the Liu family since ancient times." Guo Jia added, revealing his deep insight into the current situation and his loyal advice to the Lord.

"All this we do! It's for you!"

Guo Jia's tone was passionate, his eyes flashed with a calculating light, and he shouted loudly.

Liu Yao heard this and didn'tHe involuntarily put his hand on his forehead and gently massaged his temples, which were slightly tense due to his troubled thoughts.

"What about Liu Xuande, how is he doing now?" There was a hint of imperceptible urgency in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia raised his head quickly and reported solemnly: "My lord! After many investigations by my subordinates, we have mastered everything. The arrow that hit Liu Bei was poisonous. He is now in critical condition! Even if Mr. Hua Tuo, who has superb medical skills, comes in person, I am afraid that he will be unable to save his life!"

"Once Liu Bei dies, his two brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, will surely resent Yuan Shao and hate him to the bone!"

"These two are rare and brave talents. If you can take this opportunity to make them loyal to you and obey your orders, you can not only gain two peerless generals, but also take advantage of this opportunity to weaken or even eliminate your rival Yuan Shao! This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, or even three birds with one stone. Why wouldn't you do it, my lord?"

At this time, Zhang Liao and others who were standing by also pleaded for Guo Jia and Tian Feng.

Liu Yao slowly stood up from the table, his eyes piercing every inch of the hall.

"Humph! Guo Jia, Tian Feng, you two, even if you have a thousand reasons, you can't escape the suspicion of deliberately concealing. From today on, you must abstain from alcohol for two months as a punishment!" His voice was steady and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

"In addition, a six-month salary deduction will be made to serve as a warning to others!"

Guo Jia and Tian Feng smiled slightly.

This is almost the same as no punishment, just endure not drinking for two months.

As for a six-month salary deduction? Sorry, the top brass of the Bingzhou Army are not short of money now. They can eat and drink as they please with a six-month salary.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, my lord!"

Liu Yao waved his hand.

"Okay! Now we have one more thing to discuss. After Yuan Shao returns this time, he will definitely get involved in Qingzhou. We need to quickly integrate Youzhou!"

"If Yuan Shao leads his army north again, I don't want another war to break out in the rear of Youzhou!"
