"Alas...how can a man serve two masters?"

"Huang Miao! This is not about the owner, but about the people of the world!"

Guan Yu let out a sigh of relief, feeling very helpless. Speaking privately, his sister-in-law did need his care, and his eldest brother was indeed not dead.

Yu Gonglai said that what Li Pu said made sense. To protect the people, killing the barbarians and protecting the country and the people was indeed not a private matter.

Guan Yu was a little confused. It would be easy if his eldest brother died. The worst he could do was leave his eight-foot body and follow his eldest brother.

Now the eldest brother is defeated and has fled far away, and the eldest sister-in-law is imprisoned. She intends to die to prove her innocence, but...

"Yun Chang, think about it carefully. Heroes like Yun Chang have been born in these troubled times. It must be God's pity for our people in China. If we die like this, how will we be different from those rotten trees and rotting grass?"

After Li Pu finished speaking, he left the room, leaving Guan Yu alone in the room.

Li Pu heard a sigh outside the house, and Li Pu understood that the matter was settled.

Now that he has more than half of the Chinese continent in his hands, Li Pu also has to make some arrangements for what will happen after he leaves.

The civil strife in the Three Kingdoms caused a large decline in the population. After the end of the Three Kingdoms, the three families returned to the Jin Dynasty, and then the Five Husbands invaded China.

The Han people have been reduced to two-legged sheep, and now Li Pu will naturally not let this happen.

Let powerful generals like Guan and Zhang show the barbarians what it means to be one Han against five barbarians.

Just locking up Zhang and Zhang will be more than enough to defeat fifty barbarians.

The key is that these two people have no ambitions and will not use any means to drive away the Hu Tunhan.

If it were Cao Cao, Li Pu would not be so relieved.

At night, a large number of candles were lit in Xuzhou's official residence, and prominent figures in Xuzhou City would appear here.

This was a celebration banquet prepared by Li Pu for all the soldiers. At Jushou's suggestion, officials from Xuzhou, big and small, were invited to attend the banquet.

To show your favor to them and also make them put down their guard.

Li Pu followed his kindness and sang and danced in the hall.

Everyone was enjoying themselves, and there were soldiers present who had destroyed the law, as well as local officials in Xuzhou.

Chen Deng stood beside Li Pu and introduced to Li Pu the people who were toasting to him.

"This is Xuzhou's Don't Drive Mi Zhu."

Although Mi Zhu spent all his wealth to support Liu Bei, Liu Bei obviously had no chance to notify the angel investor when he ran away.

So in this way, Mi Zhu was left in Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu toasted Li Pu and drank it himself.

Everyone looked at Li Pu at this time, and they were relieved after seeing Li Pu also drink the wine in the glass.

After drinking this glass of wine, it means that Li Pu will not pursue the past affairs, and it can be regarded as a clean slate.

As Liu Bei's biggest sponsor, Mi Zhu was not pursued by Li Pu. They were just seeking their own interests in their positions, and Li Pu would not pursue him.

The atmosphere in the hall completely relaxed at this time.

Everyone toasted to Li Pu one after another, and Li Pu refused all comers until...

"This is Zhuge Xuan, the governor of Yuzhang."

Chen Deng pointed at a tall man and said.

"Wait a minute!"

Hearing Li Pu's voice, the singing and dancing in the venue instantly stopped and they knelt aside. Everyone also put down their wine glasses and looked at Li Pu nervously.

"Do you have a nephew named Zhuge Liang?"

Li Pu's words made Zhuge Xuan a little overwhelmed and he quickly replied.

"Exactly, my nephew's surname is Zhuge Liang, his given name is Kongming, and he is fifteen years old."

"Okay, is your nephew in Xuzhou?"

"exist."

"Okay, let's invite you to join us for a banquet."

Li Pu knew that this person was Empress Zhuge Xuan, and he obviously treated Zhuge Xuan with great courtesy, which made other local officials in Xuzhou puzzled.

However, the atmosphere returned to its previous cheerful state, and everyone continued to drink and have fun.

Li Pu came to Zhuge Xuan with a wine glass and started talking with Zhuge Xuan.

Only then did Li Pu understand why Zhuge Xuan was in Xuzhou.

A few years ago, when Yuan Shu was still alive, he appointed Zhuge Xuan as the governor of Yuzhang.

So Zhuge Xuan took Zhuge Liang, who had lost his father early in life, to Yuzhang to take up his post.

But what I didn't expect was that Yuan Shu actually proclaimed himself emperor.

Before Zhuge Xuan arrived in Yuzhang, Yuan Shu was beaten by several nearby princes.

Especially Liu Bei and Cao Cao, who personally led their troops to kill him.

In this situation, even if Zhuge Xuan was given ten courages, he would not dare to go there.

So he stayed in Langye's hometown in Xuzhou. Later, Yuan Shu died, but Yuzhang was occupied by Cao Cao again.

Cao Cao had only been fighting Liu Bei for a year, and the Xuzhou people killed Cao Cao's father. At this time, Zhuge Xuan, a Xuzhou person, went to tell Cao Cao that I was going to Yuzhang to take up the post of governor?

No matter how big-hearted Cao Cao is, it is impossible for him to take office. It is more likely to let him take office underground.

So Zhuge Xuan stayed in Langxie for a while, and wanted to go to Jingzhou to seek refuge, but Jingzhou also started fighting, and the melee continued.

So Zhuge Xuan used his connections to find a position in Pengcheng.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, the boss changed.

Only then did Li Pu understand why Zhuge Xuan was in Pengcheng.

Speaking of which, this person is quite unlucky.

After a while, Zhuge Liang appeared in the hall.

Wearing a blue robe, he showed off his good temperament. There was no crown on his head, but it made him feel stable. His eyes were very bright, and he looked full of wisdom and very handsome.

Okay, the previous ones are all nonsense, Li Pu just thinks Zhuge Liang is handsome.

Everything else is just a filter.

He looks like a handsome high school student. He is about 1.7 meters tall. It seems that he will be at least 1.8 meters when he becomes an adult. There is nothing special about him.

Li Pu pulled Zhuge Liang over affectionately and started chatting with Zhuge Xuan.

After chatting for a while, Li Pu felt that he was almost done. Zhuge Liang was in his hands now and he couldn't let him go.

"Brother Yinyi, I would like to express my gratitude to my lord Han Fu by recommending Kong Ming to serve as an official. Do you think it's okay?"

Zhuge Xuan was stunned. Zhuge Liang had not yet reached the championship. Why did Pan Feng recommend Zhuge Liang?

But Zhuge Xuan thought again, is there anything in his family that Pan Feng should care about? It seems that there is nothing in his family that is worthy of Pan Feng using this method to obtain.

Furthermore, Pan Feng never minced words when doing things. He must have heard about Zhuge Liang's intelligence from someone, so he recommended Zhuge Liang.

You can also set an example for all families in Xuzhou. You see, I use Zhuge Liang at such a young age, so why do you worry about not being reused?

"That would be great. Kong Ming would rather thank General Pan."

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang quickly thanked Li Pu.

Zhuge Liang was also very curious about why Pan Feng, a general all over the world, recommended him.

But he couldn't find a reason to refuse, and his uncle had already agreed, so Zhuge Liang had no choice but to agree.

Furthermore, Han Fu's power is now at its peak, with most of China under his control.
