In this era, the clan is not a big deal. Four hundred years after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the old Liu family spread out and there were tens of thousands of clan members surnamed Liu. The direct clan was not that valuable, let alone a distant clan like Liu Bei.

After King Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty.

Even though Liu Yu, who had served as Zongzheng in the past, had rectified his title, he still couldn't get the title of Prince Jing of Zhongshan.

Normally, if Liu Bei met any stranger, he would quickly reveal his identity to enhance his appearance. Although it may not be of much use, it can at least make him more courageous to act and speak to a certain extent.

But today, Liu Bei had no intention of saying this in front of Liu Qi. After all, compared with Liu Qi's status, he was far inferior.

He just didn't expect that Liu Qi would actually take the initiative to ask him about the clan family. It seemed that Liu Qi was really willing to call him "Uncle Xuande".

Liu Qi helped Liu Bei step down in this way, which greatly exceeded Liu Bei's expectations.

At that moment, I saw him standing up, clasping his fists with both hands and saying: "The prince thinks so highly of Liu Bei, Bei is really flattered... Alas, it also ruins the prince's happiness. Although the prince praises Yu so much, Bei is actually in a weak position.

After being defeated, I came here to help you, and begged the king to take me in."

Liu Qi smiled and said: "It's not about taking in or not. Mr. Xuande is an uncle of my clan. As the same clan, you and I are also members of the Protector Alliance. From now on, we will work together to support the Han Dynasty! Let's not hide it.

Uncle Clan, I am still relatively short of manpower here. If Mr. Xuande does not give up, would you like to serve in our Chinese army?"

Liu Qi did not let Liu Bei speak, but he did it himself. Liu Bei was extremely surprised. He did not expect that Liu Qi would take him under his command without asking too much, and it was a matter of course, without any loss of face for himself.

"This...this, the Lord is so kind to me. I can't thank you enough for causing trouble to the Lord."

"How could it be? Since the time when the Yellow Turbans were fought, my uncle has traveled to many places and fought in various places all year round. Uncle Xuande is still from Youzhou and has a lot of experience in riding horses in the north. What my uncle has is exactly what I am.

What the Southern Army lacks! It's just that Liu Qi is just a general who suppresses the west at the moment. He can't give Uncle Xuande an overly high rank as a lieutenant... He might as well be appointed as Zhonglang General. If he has merit in the future, he will be promoted, how about?

"

Although Liu Bei was originally the captain of Yuyang, he also understood that he would not be able to hold a position as high as two thousand stones once he came under Liu Qi's command.

But he never expected that Liu Qi would appoint him to the highest military position under his command as soon as he came up.

As far as Liu Bei knew, there seemed to be only a handful of lieutenants under Liu Qi's command.

There are indeed not many Zhonglang generals under Liu Qi. Now there are only Huang Zhong, Cai Xun, Zhang Yun, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Xu Shu... plus Tai Shi Ci, who was just promoted to Zhonglang general for killing Liu Wei.

At that moment, Liu Bei stood up and saluted Liu Qi: "Bei first came to join us, but he has not made any great achievements. How can he dare to receive this honor? It is absolutely unacceptable."

Liu Qi shook his head and said: "Although my uncle has no merit in the Jingzhou Army, he has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. In recent years, my uncle has been in the north, assisting the Grand Sima, echoing our Jingzhou Army from the north to the south, fighting against Yuan Shao, expelling Gongsun, and fighting fiercely with Cao Cao."

, Which of the piles and piles of pieces is not a credit?"

"This... I might not be able to convince the public."

"This lieutenant general, I say my uncle can do it! My uncle can do it! Who dares to say no?"

Even though it was Liu Bei, I couldn't help but be moved at this moment.

Liu Qi is indeed sincere.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Liu Qi nodded with satisfaction at first, then suddenly sighed and said, "If Qi had a few more heroes like uncle under his command, things would be easier to handle."

Liu Bei saw the sad look on Liu Qi's face and couldn't help but said with concern: "If the prince is in trouble, you might as well tell Liu Bei. If he can solve the problem for the prince, Liu Bei will not hesitate to die."

Liu Qi sighed: "I have just pacified Yizhou. The three armies are exhausted, and all generals have been mobilized. However, the larger the area in charge, the more thieves we have to face."

"Those thieves actually make you so worried?"

Liu Qi scratched his forehead and said: "Now under my command, Huang Zhong is stationed in Xiangyang to defend me from Cao Cao in the north, Wenpin is stationed in Hanzhong to defend against the Xiliang generals, and Wei Yan is stationed in Jiangxia to defend against Yuan Shu... But there are also the barbarians from the south who have repeatedly

If the message fails to arrive, there are strong signs of rebellion. There is Sun Jian, a fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, to the east of Jingzhou, and there are scholars to Xie in Lingling. They are afraid that they may invade from time to time. Although I still have strong generals under my command, I cannot fully mobilize them, just because the main force of our army is

, you still need to be ready to go north to protect you."

Liu Bei seems to be loyal, but in fact he is a person who likes to show off by nature.

He has liked to wear gorgeous clothes since he was a child. He is also willing to say that he is a member of the Han clan when meeting people, and he loves to express himself.

When he first came to Liu Qi, he was still a bit humble. Now that he saw Liu Qi treating him with great courtesy and entrusting him with important tasks, Liu Bei felt happy and couldn't control it anymore, and his true nature was revealed.

"If you don't give up, the three warriors Liu Bei brought will be enough for you to use."

"Oh? What does uncle mean?"

"Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide are both my sworn brothers. Although they are not as good as the generals under the Junhou in both civil and military affairs, they are also battle-hardened warriors. Although Zhao Zilong is the supervisor of the army, he is my brother-in-law and is highly valued by the Grand Sima. There are three of them.

Maybe the presence of people can relieve the worries of the kings and princes?"

Liu Qi turned to look at Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun looked at each other.

Then Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Fei is willing to go!"

Zhao Yun also cupped his hands and said, "Just ask your Majesty for your orders."

Liu Qi smiled with satisfaction and said: "Okay, okay... In that case, I will ask Brother Zilong to be the Commander-in-Chief of Kuaiji to defend Sun Jian in the east for me. Brother Yide can be called the Commander-in-Chief of Yuesun to intimidate the southern barbarians for me. Guan Yunchang is

Lieutenant Lingling, go to the south and take up his post to stop Shi Xie for me."

Liu, Zhang and Zhao were shocked when they heard this.

The three captains did not want Liu Qi to give them away at once. When Liu Bei was in Yuyang, he was only appointed as the captain of Yuyang, with a rank of two thousand stones. Now that he has come to Jingzhou, he has not only been promoted but also a general.

Well, even the three younger brothers who came with him have risen in status and are now on the same level as him in the past.

After a long time, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun quickly thanked Liu Qi.

That night, Liu Qi held a banquet at the Animal Husbandry Department to honor Liu Bei!

During a banquet, both Liu Qi and Liu Bei drank a lot. Liu Qi kept saying with emotion that it was a great joy for Liu Bei to join him.

Liu Bei, on the other hand, kept thanking Liu Qi for accepting him and treating him so favorably. He swore that he would be loyal to Liu Qi to the death.

After the banquet, Liu Qi did not go home, but rested in the study room of the Animal Husbandry Department.

Cai Xun and Zhang Yun, two flatterers, personally sent him back.

Liu Qi drank in a daze and felt very happy.

He said to Zhang Yun: "Go and order someone to bring some wine, and let's have another drink!"

Zhang Yun ordered someone to bring tea and poured it for Liu Qi himself: "Bo Yu, you are drunk... drink some tea soup to relieve the hangover."

Liu Qi was reluctant to drink it at first, but Zhang Yun and Cai Xun couldn't stand it, so he had to drink it.

Cai Xun asked: "Sister-in-law, Liu Bei is just a defeated general. You can just accept him. Why do you still entrust him with important tasks... He has become a general as soon as he comes. Isn't it too generous? But it is How can we lose face?"

Zhang Yun was also worried and said: "Not only did Liu Bei be appointed as the Zhonglang General, Guan, Zhang and Zhao Yun were also appointed as Captains and stationed at important border areas. Now Liu Bei is inside and the fierce generals are outside. Are you not making yourself uncomfortable? What?"

Liu Qi chuckled, stretched out a finger and shook his head, but did not answer him.
