The place erupted in excitement after Wang Fangyi shouted inside the brothel.
Liu Bei and his two companions were also shocked by Liu Wei's extravagance.
A prince is a prince, spending money like water!
Pingyuan City is located at the border of Qingzhou and Jizhou, a thoroughfare with many people traveling between the north and south.
The scale of this brothel was certainly not to be underestimated; the women inside were skilled in everything from playing musical instruments and singing to calligraphy, painting, music, and chess.
The group sat cross-legged in a large hall, divided into two groups.
Each person had a woman serving them.
A dozen or so women in the middle, dressed in thin clothes and with graceful figures, danced gracefully to the music.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu were eating grapes fed to them by a woman next to them. Zhang Fei also became very tender and asked a woman to pour him wine.
Liu Wei looked at Liu Bei and the other two who were joking with the woman, raised his hand, and the music stopped abruptly, and the dancers also stopped moving.
"Uncle Liu, what do you think of tonight?"
"Your Highness has truly opened my eyes to the world! In the end, all the hard work and building of a career is for the sake of enjoying music and wine in such a pleasant way."
Liu Bei had already drunk quite a bit of wine, and his face was even redder than Guan Yu's. "It's a pity that I have the ambition to serve my country and make great achievements, but I have no way to do so. I can only stay in this county and let the years slip by!"
"Haha! Since I call you Imperial Uncle, I will not treat you as an outsider!"
"I have just the right opportunity to make a name for yourself and achieve unparalleled success. It's up to you whether you can seize it," Liu Wei said with a smile to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's expression turned serious, and he immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "I am foolish and ignorant, please enlighten me, Your Highness."
“Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun of Youzhou colluded with the Wuhuan Dunta to cause trouble, and the Murong Xianbei also coveted Dai, Shanggu and other places.”
"Judging from your skills, you three brothers should go to the north to fight the enemy, instead of staying here to guard a county town and serving as county magistrates, horse archers, and foot archers!"
"We have long wanted to go to the north, but we have no way to do so!" Liu Bei felt that Liu Wei's words had struck a chord with him.
"I am currently the General Who Guards the North, and my purpose in going to Youzhou is to assist the Governor of Youzhou in quelling the rebellion!"
Liu Wei said calmly.
Now that things have come to this point, if Liu Bei doesn't take the initiative to surrender, Liu Wei will abandon them.
"I am willing to resign my official post and follow Your Highness to Youzhou!"
Liu Bei replied without hesitation, "My two brothers and I are willing to serve you, my lord, even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire."
After saying this, he pulled Guan Yu and Zhang Fei over to bow and pay their respects to Liu Wei.
Guan Yu never expected that he had looked down on Liu Wei back then, thinking him unfilial and heartless.
But unexpectedly, his sworn brother has now defected to him.
Guan Yu was still somewhat unhappy. Wasn't this a slap in the face to his past self?
However, considering Liu Wei's gift of the fine horse and Liu Bei's presence, Guan Yu turned his head to the side, cupped his hands, and bowed.
"Haha! With the help of my three royal brothers, pacifying the Wuhuan and Murong Xianbei tribes will be as easy as taking candy from a baby!"
"Then, let the music continue, and let the dancing continue!"
Liu Wei burst into laughter.
This trip to Pingyuan County, showing off his strength, acknowledging Liu Bei as his uncle, gifting him a fine horse, and inviting him to brothels—all these actions are clearly aimed at bringing Liu Bei under his command!
Now that Liu Bei is willing to follow him to pacify the foreign tribes, this trip to the plains has not been in vain!
"I disagree!"
At that moment, a loud shout rang out!
