Chapter 27: Guo Jia's Clever Plan Captures Wang Xue, Li You Leads the Army to Attack Dong Zhuo!

  Liu Bei got out of Li Yu's mansion, sat in his own carriage, and burst into tears. After turning a corner, he rushed to the Hanxing King's palace without even taking the main road. Chen Gong, the left national general, held back his horse and said, "Halt!" Everyone stopped. Zhang Fei was taken aback and said, "I say, little Guozi, what's wrong with you? Do you want to take a dump or pee?" Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I think this play is over." Liu Bei was stunned and asked Guo Jia, "What do you mean by 'this play'?" Liu Bei suddenly realized the meaning behind Guo Jia's words and his eyes lit up as he asked, "Guo Jia, what do you mean by that?" Guo Jia smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise for a lifetime, but foolish for a moment. Do you really think your fourth brother, our great general Li Yu, is truly dead?" Liu Bei wiped away his tears and asked, "Ah? Guo Jia, are you saying he's not dead?" Chen Gong, who was standing beside them, also smiled and said, "Yes, I agree with Guo Jia. He's not dead. As for why he faked his own death, Your Majesty, I won't explain it to you, but you should have an idea." Zhang Fei quickly said, "Guo Jia, don't be treacherous! If my fourth brother Li Yu is really dead this time, you'd better come up with evidence. Otherwise, I won't forgive you!" Zhao Yun and Guan Yu were also stunned, as if they were shrouded in mist.

  Both Guo Jia and Chen Gong believed that Li Yu was not really dead, but had been so heartbroken by the blow that he did not want to serve the imperial court anymore. They thought he might have faked his own death and changed his name. When they told everyone else about their theory, no one believed them. Zhang Fei, a rough and loud man, shouted: "You're talking nonsense, Guo Jia! Do you dare to make a bet with me?" Guo Jia smiled and said: "Why not? If General Li Yu is really dead, I'll die with him. And if he's not, you'll have to go to the brothel for three months, and I'll treat you to dinner!" Zhang Fei turned his sleeve and said: "If he's not dead, from today on, you'll go to the brothel for three months, and my brother will be your host! Ask our brothers to witness this bet." Liu Bei looked at them and asked: "What are you two betting about? Are you going to the brothel?" He thought that Guo Jia was indeed fond of such things. When he heard that Li Yu might not be dead, Liu Bei's spirit lifted, and he said: "Guo Jia, do you think my fourth brother Li Yu is still alive?" Guo Jia smiled and said: "That's what I've been thinking." Chen Gong chimed in: "But how can we get General Li Yu to come out? The greatest sorrow is when one's heart dies. This time, Your Majesty has hurt him too deeply!" Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong and his expression changed. Guo Jia saw this and smiled, saying: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have a plan, but you need to give me the power to arrange things. If anyone disobeys my orders, I'll punish them." Liu Bei laughed and said: "That's not difficult. Left State Chancellor Guo Jia, hear my command!" Guo Jia knelt down and said: "I'm listening." Liu Bei gave the order: "I command you to bring back my fourth brother Li Yu. You have full authority to handle everything. If anyone disobeys your orders, execute them on the spot." Guo Jia knocked his head on the ground and said: "I'll follow your orders, thank you, Your Majesty. I'll make a public declaration that if I fail to bring back General Li Yu, I'll be beheaded!"

  Here is the translation:

  This time, Guo Jia has real power. He immediately ordered everyone to hide in a secluded location and re-analyze the situation with the emperor. Guo Jia said, "It seems that Li Yu, the Grand Marshal, is too heartbroken this time, so he came up with this idea. If we want to invite him, we can only use an extreme method." He explained his plan, which was very bad and damaging. Only Guo Jia could come up with such a bad plan.

  Guo Jia said, "The key is to find someone to impersonate the Mountain King. Who will play this role?" He looked at Zhang Fei, who was dark-skinned. Old Zhang was anxious and quickly retreated. Guo Jia smiled slyly and said, "General Zhang, listen to my orders. I order you to pretend to be the Mountain King. Tonight, after midnight, lead your troops to break into Li Yu's residence. You must do it exactly as I say, without any mistakes."

  Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this plan. He glared at Guo Jia and said, "I'm telling you, Guo Jia, you're a scoundrel! Someone has died, but you won't even let their family have a peaceful day. You're using this as an excuse to rob them. You're a cultured person, what kind of heart do you have? I think you're the rascal that my fourth brother's wife talked about!"

  Guan Yu also didn't believe that Li Yu was dead and tried to persuade Zhang Fei, saying, "Third brother, this isn't our personal business. It's for the country to invite a wise man. If we disobey orders, we'll be punished."

  Zhang Fei shouted back, "You can do whatever you want, but I won't accept this order!" Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and loudly said, "Bring me General Zhang Fei and execute him on the spot!"

  The imperial guards were stunned and didn't dare to move. Liu Bei wanted to intervene, but Chen Gong gave him a signal not to speak. At this time, Guo Jia saw that no one was moving and continued, "I have the king's order in my hand. I will personally invite Grand Marshal Li Yu, and all problems will be handled by me, Guo Jia. If anyone disobeys orders, they will be executed on the spot!"

  The imperial guards had no choice but to move forward and bind Zhang Fei. Old Zhang was furious and about to fight back when Liu Bei said, "Third brother, a great man must know how to yield and compromise. Just go along with it."

  Zhang Fei saw this and smiled, saying, "Fine, I'll play along. Guo Jia, you're happy now, right?" Guo Jia sternly asked, "Are you willing to impersonate the Mountain King?"

  Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I've always been willing. For the sake of inviting my fourth brother Li Yu, I'll do whatever it takes." Chen Gong also chimed in, saying, "General Zhang, since you're going to pretend to be the Mountain King, you should disguise yourself a bit."

  Guo Jia gave orders and then transmitted them, saying, "We'll wait here. If someone comes, bring them here." Zhang Fei replied, "Yes, sir."

  Zhang Fei was a rough but clever person. He led a group of soldiers to scout out the area, memorizing the roads and alleys. They didn't light any lanterns or torches. Zhang Fei rode at the front, with 100 soldiers following behind him. They moved quickly and quietly, arriving at Li Yu's residence around midnight.

  It was dark and quiet, especially at this hour. The guards didn't stop them because Guo Jia had given orders to let them pass. Zhang Fei called his subordinates over and made arrangements, saying, "Do you all remember what to do?"

  The soldiers replied, "Yes, we remember." Zhang Fei said, "Good, just follow my lead. If anyone makes a mistake, I'll take their life."

  The soldiers hastily replied, "Yes, General Zhang, please don't worry. We remember."

  Wei Linjun's several leaders clapped their hands, brought thirty or so soldiers, and entered Li Yu's Grand Marshal Mansion. They took a look, the gate of the mansion was piled with hay, and they set the haystack on fire. As soon as the haystack ignited, flames shot up into the sky, casting a red glow over half of the Grand Marshal Mansion. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the crowd urged their horses to come to the front of the Grand Marshal Mansion, thirty or so horses galloping wildly, surrounding the mansion and circling around it. As they circled, they shouted: "Li Yu, you died a good death! If you hadn't died, we wouldn't have dared to come and take revenge! Now that you're dead, I'll kill everyone in your family, not leaving one alive! Take all the men, women, old and young of the Li family and flay them, making lanterns out of their skin! Kill!"

  The news spread to the General's mansion, and the manager of the mansion had never encountered such a thing before. He was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He opened the door and entered the inner courtyard, where he saw Madame Wang Xue, the wife of Li Yu. The official was now incoherent with fear, saying: "Report... report to the madam, something terrible has happened! A group of bandits from who-knows-where have surrounded our General's mansion, shouting that they want to take revenge and settle old scores. I saw flames rising high at the entrance of the mansion, and outside the gate, war horses were neighing and people were in a state of panic. Please, madam, make a decision quickly!" Madame Wang Xue was also frightened by this news, but she had participated in battles before and was not one to be intimidated. She steeled herself and went to the courtyard to listen, and indeed, it was true. What could they do now? After some thought, she finally came up with a plan. Although Li Yu had passed away, he still had many loyal soldiers who were skilled in martial arts. These soldiers said: "Don't worry, madam, these bandits are nothing to be afraid of. They're just taking advantage of the situation to try and gain something, but they've miscalculated. With us here, there's no need to worry. Please go back to your room and rest, I'll take care of them." The loyal soldiers of Li Yu's mansion numbered in the hundreds, all gathered in the courtyard. At this time, Madame Wang Xue said: "When my husband was alive, he would have led the charge! Now it's my turn to lead you to victory!" She then chose 200 men and ordered the others to guard the house with wooden clubs, stones, and bricks. The 200 soldiers followed Madame Wang Xue out of the mansion to confront the enemy. Madame Wang Xue was also wearing armor and a helmet, carrying her precious sword in hand, although she didn't know martial arts, she looked fierce enough to intimidate anyone! She mounted her red warhorse, grasped the reins, and led the 200 soldiers out of the mansion gate, like a flood bursting forth. When they arrived on the street, Madame Wang Xue saw people moving about and shouted: "Who are you, you reckless bandits! You must have eaten bear hearts and swallowed leopard gall to dare come to our General's mansion and cause trouble! Do you know the ferocity of Madame Wang Xue?" The 200 soldiers, emboldened by Madame Wang Xue's bravery, shouted: "Kill them! Don't let the bandits escape! Catch them!" And they charged forward.

  The disguised soldiers, seeing that their goal had been achieved, quickly retreated to the back to report to General Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei gave a thumbs up: "Well done, not bad, retreat to both sides." As they took their positions in the formation, Wang Xue arrived with his men. Wang Xue looked ahead and saw over a hundred bandits, led by a large fat man. In the dark, he couldn't see clearly, but felt that this person seemed familiar. He thought to himself, "I've never met any bandits before, where could I have seen him?" Wang Xue pointed with his sword: "Halt! You bandits, where are you from? Let your leader come forward and meet me." Zhang Fei had no choice but to continue the charade, holding his spear horizontally in his hand: "Halt, yellow-haired girl, I am Mountain Great King, speak with me!" Although Zhang Fei tried to change his voice, it was still recognizable. Wang Xue felt that the voice was familiar and looked closely at him under the light of the lanterns. He realized that this was none other than his husband's sworn brother, his own uncle, General Zhang Fei! Ah, he understood now. They were disguising themselves as bandits! Wang Xue's heart finally put to rest, he sheathed his sword behind his back and said: "You're not Mountain Great King, you're my Uncle Zhang Fei! What are you doing here?" Zhang Fei pretended not to understand, staring at him with wide eyes: "Nonsense, who is Zhang Fei? Which one is your uncle? I am Mountain Great King. Yellow-haired girl, listen to me, when Li Yu was alive, he relied on his martial arts skills to bully the heroes of the green forest, smashing our rice bowls. We've long wanted to avenge ourselves, but we didn't dare because we weren't as capable as him. Recently, we heard that Li Yu's old wounds relapsed and he died, what a joy! Now that he's dead, our hatred is not yet over, so I led my troops here to the front of your General's mansion, planning to dig up Li Yu's corpse and wipe out every last member of the Li family. Girl, where are you going?" Zhang Fei shouted and yelled, urging his horse forward with his spear.

  Here is the translation:

  Wang Xue took a look and said, "Ah, it's Zhang Fei! So he's one of those multi-talented types who can do everything except grind bean paste?" She thought to herself, "You're trying to trick me, what are you up to?" Without saying another word, she urged her horse forward, raised her sword and ordered her personal troops to form a battle array against Zhang Fei. These personal troops were all handpicked by Li Yu, and although Zhang Fei was invincible in battle, he couldn't bring himself to kill them! With three swift strokes of the sword, Wang Xue chopped off Zhang Fei's helmet tassel. Zhang Fei was furious, but also thought to himself, "A husband like that has a wife like this - my fourth brother is really good at training troops!" These personal troops were so skilled in martial arts, and more importantly, their formation was perfectly coordinated! Luckily for Zhang Fei, he dodged quickly, or else his head would have been chopped off. He didn't hate his sister-in-law, who wasn't skilled in martial arts anyway, but rather hated Guo Jia, the one who had advised against this battle. Seeing that things were not going well, Zhang Fei turned his horse around and ran away, shouting to his brothers, "This yellow-haired girl is really fierce, hurry up and retreat!" The troops retreated with a loud noise. Wang Xue saw that she had defeated Zhang Fei, but didn't know that he hadn't killed her personal troops because he didn't want to hurt them. If he had wanted to, none of them would have been left alive. She chased after him closely, and Zhang Fei led his horse into a nearby forest. Just as Wang Xue entered the forest on horseback, she saw lights shining brightly, and Guo Jia spoke up, "General's wife, please don't misunderstand - our prime minister is here." Liu Bei, the King of Han, also said, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to fight - I'm here."

  Wang Xue was stunned, and saw Hanxing King Liu Bei, the left and right Guo Chen Gong and Guo Jia, two generals Guan Yu and Huwei General Zhao Yun, his teacher Da Hongru Lu Zhi, Ting Wei Fu's chief law officer Fa Zheng, old general Yan Yan and many others. He quickly dismounted his horse, put away his sword, and came to pay respects to Liu Bei, saying: "Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this?"

  Here is the translation:

  "General Li, ah, haha, let's end this play here. Your husband, General Li Yu, isn't dead after all. Why did you fake his death and bury him? Now that our country needs people like never before, Dong Zhuo's army is about to attack our Yizhou state. We lack good generals, and we want your husband, General Li Yu, to be the commander-in-chief of our army. You two are really heartless, aren't you? Especially at a time like this, why did you have to put on this show?"

  Wang Xue saw that she had been caught and quickly tried to talk her way out of it: "Left General Guo, my husband is indeed dead."

  Guo Jia waved his hand and said: "Alright, alright. You don't dare to tell the truth. Let's just say that whether he's really dead or not, I'll ask you to stay here for a while and rest. Don't go back home for now."

  Why did Guo Jia say this? He had a plan. As soon as Zhang Fei returned from the west, the second group of people was sent out. They went east and shouted: "Oh no! The lady has been captured by bandits! Oh no!"

  This shout had an effect, and the remaining soldiers in the general's mansion immediately reported to the officials. The officials were shocked and fell to the ground. This time, all the servants were frightened, and the official got up from the ground and quickly left without saying a word.

  Where did he go? He rushed to the back garden. In the garden, there was a fake mountain built by Li Yu according to the layout of Huaguo Mountain. The official followed the path under the fake mountain and turned into an underground room. Inside, there were air vents, and lamps were lit. Li Yu was sitting inside reading a book.

  The old steward came before Li Yu and said: "General! Something's wrong! Something's wrong! You're not taking your position as general seriously, and you came up with this idea of faking your own death. What's the point of that? Now what should we do?"

  Li Yu had a good relationship with this official, who had followed him since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He asked: "What happened?"

  The official replied: "Your wife has been captured by bandits."

  Li Yu was shocked and asked: "Is this true?"

  The official said: "How could it be false?"

  Li Yu heard this and his heart was racing with worry. He didn't distinguish between truth and falsehood and ordered: "Bring my horse and spear!"

  He rushed out of the mansion, got on his horse, and chased after the "bandits" until he reached a small forest. As soon as he entered the forest, lanterns lit up everywhere, and many officials stood in a line. Han Xing Wang Liu Bei sat in the middle.

  Li Yu saw this and wanted to leave, but it was too late. Zhang Fei came forward and shouted: "Fourth brother! You're still alive!"

  Guan Yu also came forward and shouted: "Fourth brother, you've really scared us half to death!"

  Li Yu's face turned bright red with embarrassment, like a monkey's butt. He had no choice but to throw down his spear, get off his horse, and walk up to Han Xing Wang Liu Bei, saying: "I, Li Yu, pay my respects to Your Majesty. May you live for a thousand years!"

  Liu Bei saw Li Yu and turned his worry into joy, stretched out his hand to grasp Li Yu's two hands tightly and said: "Fourth brother, this joke of yours is too much, it scared me half to death!"

  Li Yu stood up to meet everyone. Zhang Fei washed his face and smiled as he came over, saying: "Little Four, you're getting more and more muddled with age. Are you trying to scare us to death? You frightened us so much that my tears alone could fill a basin! You're too wicked, making me, your third brother, unable to do anything but pretend to be the Mountain King. If I didn't pretend to be the Mountain King, you wouldn't have shown up!" Everyone burst out laughing at this.

  Why did Li Yu want to fake his own death and change his name? It was because he had been wrongly accused by others, and Liu Bei could not uphold justice. Although there was Fa Zheng who handled the case with integrity, the main culprit, Guo Fu, was still at large. Thinking about it made him feel indignant and hard to swallow. He had originally thought of helping Liu Bei as a blind man, but now he would never show his face again and let Liu Bei fend for himself. Unexpectedly, today he was forced out by someone, and it was too late for regrets.

  Someone asked what happened when Li Yu pretended to be dead in the coffin? It was because he had taken a kind of medicine that could change the color of his skin within a day and make his hands and feet cold. This deceived Liu Bei and others.

  Now, as the monarch and subject met face-to-face, Liu Bei held Li Yu's hand warmly and said: "Fourth brother, do you know that Dong Zhuo has raised an army of 50 million men, claiming to be 100 million, and is invading our borders? The people will suffer again. For the sake of the lives of all under heaven, I have specially invited you to take command."

  Li Yu's heart still burning with anger said: "Your Majesty, when the country is in difficulty, Li Yu cannot stand by idly. However, I have one condition. If Your Majesty cannot agree to it, then I am afraid I will not be able to take command. You may invite someone else who is more capable."

  "What is the condition that Fourth Brother has proposed?"

  "I want you to give me the head of your younger brother-in-law, Guo Fu, to offer as a sacrifice to the great banner."

  Li Yu said bluntly, and Liu Bei listened with a heavy heart, saying: "This, fourth brother, isn't this matter already settled? Not because of Mi Fang, you and I brothers can't have this gap, but how can the big brother still want his life? Moreover, don't you know? My mother, your adoptive mother Wang Taihou, has taken charge for you, and on the spirit tablet of your fake death, she has already placed Mi Fang's head. Now, one person can't have two heads, and it's impossible for the big brother to do anything about it. Fourth brother, don't you know? Li Yu heard this and smiled, then said: "Except for this condition, I have another condition. Let the king grant me an amnesty gold plaque instead of an amnesty death gold plaque. From now on, no matter what crime I commit, I will be exempt from punishment, to prevent such things from happening again in the future!" Liu Bei was stunned, and the matter was stuck there.

  Everyone looked at each other, what to do? Should they advise Liu Bei to give in or advise Li Yu to give in? What Li Yu said now wasn't unreasonable either, but Han Xing Wang Liu Bei was the current master of the king, how could this be done?!

  Zhang Fei, who was standing beside them, hastily came over to mediate: "What's the need for this? Fourth brother, isn't it just a matter of one condition? Alright, I'll take care of it. If big brother doesn't agree, you can blame me." Li Yu saw this and smiled, saying: "Third brother, do you keep your promises?" Zhang Fei said: "Of course! When have I ever broken my word? A man's words are like a horse that has already galloped away - if it doesn't work out, you can ask for my head." Li Yu laughed and said: "Alright then. Let's make things clear first - without the pardon token, I'm going home." Zhang Fei said: "Alright."

  Li Yu invited Liu Bei back to his own Grand Marshal's mansion. The play was no longer performed here, the mourning hall was dismantled, the coffin was carried away, and everyone took off their mourning clothes. Li Yu set a banquet to invite Han Xing Wang Liu Bei, second brother Guan Gong, third brother Zhang Fei, and many civil and military officials, after eating and drinking enough, the monarch and ministers rushed together to Han Xing Wang's Silver Peace Hall, choosing a good day, preparing to go on an expedition.

  At the Silver Peace Temple, after a meeting with the emperor, an immediate decision was made: Li Yu as the commander-in-chief, Guo Jia as the military strategist, Zhang Fei as the vanguard of the left army to exit from Qi Mountain, Guan Gong as the vanguard of the right army to exit from Yangping Pass, Xu Huan as the left wing, Zhao Yun as the right wing, Li Yu himself commanding the central army, Gao Shun and Zhang Ren etc. were ordered to listen and follow commands.

  Li Yu knew that Dong Zhuo's army was powerful, now in Yizhou, the frontline had 100,000 soldiers at Xiangyang City, 50,000 at Yangping Pass, and 50,000 at Qishan Pass. In Chengdu and Zitong, there were only 60,000 soldiers combined. Although there were 150,000 soldiers at Xiaomeng Pass and Jiangzhou, they couldn't be moved as they were needed to defend against Liu Biao's Jingzhou.

  In total, there were 260,000 soldiers, but some had to be left behind to prevent Han Zhong's Zhang Lu from invading again. Li Yu's current situation was indeed strained. Seeing this, Li Jia immediately suggested that Liu Bei increase the number of soldiers throughout Yizhou, and Liu Bei agreed.

  Chen Gong, a capable man, quickly recruited 250,000 soldiers in less than ten days throughout Yizhou, adding to the original 260,000 soldiers. There were now 510,000 soldiers. In Chengdu, the capital city, Liu Bei personally took charge, with Chen Gong as his assistant and General Yan Yan staying behind to guard against Han Zhong's unexpected invasion, leaving 100,000 soldiers.

  The fierce general Wu Anguo led the army to defend Xiaomeng Pass and Jiangzhou, fully mobilizing the 150,000 soldiers to prevent Liu Biao's Jingzhou from changing sides. Everything was arranged.

  Li Yu, the commander of the army, gathered 110,000 soldiers on the training ground and trained day and night. After they were well-trained, Guo Jia and Liu Bei also set a date for the ceremony to raise the great flag. On the day Li Yu took office, it was very grand. Han Xing Wang Liu Bei also wore his full uniform and rushed to the training ground, where he held a grand military review, then worshipped heaven and earth, and held a ceremony to grant seals and flags. Li Yu hung the golden seal with the lion's head on his chest, and Liu Bei held the Heaven Sword granted by Emperor Ling of Han in his arms, symbolizing that he had taken over the power. From now on, all military matters would be controlled by him alone. Anyone who disobeyed would be punished according to military discipline. Li Yu ordered the officer to take out the roll call book and read out the names one by one, not missing a single person. Ren Gui announced 17 prohibitions and 54 executions at that time, deciding to raise the flag and set off at noon.

  Han Xing Wang attended the military parade and awarded flags, feeling a bit tired, he retreated to the golden tent to rest for a moment before getting up. However, it was already noon, and Li Yu had not yet started his troops. Han Xing Wang Liu Bei wondered what was going on, why his fourth brother, General Li Yu, had not started his army. He thought about it and finally understood that Li Yu would have rebelled against him long ago if he wanted to, but now he just needed a guarantee. Thinking of this, Liu Bei called Chen Gong over: "Gong Tai, hurry to the general's tent and ask why he hasn't started his troops yet. If it's because of the pardon gold plaque, give him this jade pendant from me and tell him that from now on, I will treat him like a brother!" Chen Gong saw Liu Bei's anxious expression and quickly replied: "I obey your orders." Chen Gong rushed to the general's tent and saw Li Yu wearing his commander's helmet, golden armor, and white robe, holding the Heaven's Sword. The generals on both sides were standing at attention, shining with their bright armor. Chen Gong walked up quickly, bowed, and asked: "General, I have come under orders from the king to ask why you haven't started your troops yet?" Li Yu looked at Zhang Fei and said: "Third brother, I am preparing to start my troops. Bring it here!" He stretched out his hand, and Zhang Fei was taken aback: "What should I bring?" Li Yu chuckled and said: "Ha ha ha, third brother, you are a noble person who often forgets things! I want the pardon gold plaque. Without it, I won't be able to fight freely, and if I don't fight freely, I may not win." Zhang Fei was stunned: "Fourth brother, we were just joking around, why are you taking it seriously? That's just a joke, fourth brother! Quickly raise the flag and set off, what pardon gold plaque do you need?"

  Chen Gong saw this and had no choice but to take out Liu Bei's personal jade pendant, saying: "The Grand Marshal of the Han Dynasty, Li Yu, received an edict from the King of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, to lead the expedition to the east. Now, the King of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, bestows upon the Grand Marshal Li Yu his personal jade pendant, which is equivalent to the golden pardon plaque. From now on, seeing this jade pendant is like seeing the King of the Han Dynasty himself. The King of the Han Dynasty has bestowed this jade pendant upon the Grand Marshal Li Yu, and from now on, the King of the Han Dynasty and the Grand Marshal Li Yu are like one person. The affairs of Yi Province will be managed by the Grand Marshal!" Li Yu listened to this and hastily kowtowed, knocking his head against the ground, saying: "In this life, I, Li Yu, will never betray my elder brother Liu Bei! I am willing to serve my elder brother with all my might until death!" After finishing speaking, Li Yu received the jade pendant with both hands and wore it on his body. He then ordered the three armies to set off immediately! Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Gao Shun, and others did not dare to delay and quickly returned to their troops to depart.

  I helped LJ like this, not just because I pitied her, but also because I wanted to exchange this good deed for you. Whether you believe it or not, I have a clear conscience!
