Chapter 11 Liu Bei: “Uncle… Shuzhi, what did you say? Mi is pregnant?”

“Sister Mi, you are pregnant. Liu… is so amazing!!!”

After Mrs. Gan reacted, she looked at Mrs. Mi in shock with a look of joy mixed with joy.

“This…” Mrs. Mi was also overwhelmed by the joy and panic of being pregnant. Hearing Mrs. Gan’s exclamation, her delicate and charming face turned red.

“Sister Gan, why do you have to be so exaggerated?!” Madam Mi was embarrassed and anxious, and scolded Madam Gan.

Mrs. Gan also came to her senses at this time, but she didn’t care. Instead, she hurried to Mrs. Mi, touched Mrs. Mi’s belly, put her head on Mrs. Mi’s belly, listened to what she said, looking curious.

“Sister Mi, let me listen to see if the child is making any noises!”

Madam Mi: “…”

……

Xinye City, Guan Mansion, backyard.

In the ward, Liu Bei was shocked when he heard Guan Ping report that Liu Wu had captured Wancheng.

“Liu Wu actually captured Wancheng and killed Yu Jin. How is this possible?”

“Yu Jin is one of Cao Cao’s most powerful generals. Moreover, according to my second brother, Cao Ren left at least 5,000 troops for Yu Jin. How could such a strong city, guarded by Yu Jin, be captured by Liu Wu?”

Lying on the sickbed, Liu Bei widened his eyes, looked at Guan Ping in shock, and exclaimed.

Liu Bei seemed unable to believe that Liu Wu could really capture Wancheng and kill Cao Cao’s general Yu Jin.

In fact, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Xu Shu, Jian Yong and others did not really expect Liu Wu to be able to capture Wancheng.

After they agreed on a strategy with Liu Wu, they re-arranged their subsequent strategies based on Liu Wu’s strategy.

The strategy after this was that Liu Wu’s troops were frustrated in their attack on Wancheng. However, Cao Ren, who was leading troops outside, would immediately return to support when he learned of the attack on Wancheng.

After all, Wancheng is very important and it concerns the ownership of Nanyang County.

This was the clarion call for Guan Yu to lead his army to counterattack Cao Ren’s army.

Regardless of whether Guan Yu could really defeat Cao Ren, the ambush would definitely cause casualties to Cao Ren’s army, thereby weakening Cao’s military strength.

They did not tell Liu Wu about these, but wanted to use this battle to grind down Liu Wu’s edges and make him “more obedient”. It can even be said that they used Liu Wu as a gun, and used the consumption of Liu Wu’s troops to pry open the powerful Cao Ren.

They don’t feel it’s a big deal.

They even felt that this did not do any harm to Liu Wu. After all, without experiencing the beatings of war, how could Liu Wu be honest and not tormented?

How strong can Liu Wu’s troops be? They will be tempered by war, and only those who remain will be veterans of many battles.

However, Liu Bei did not expect it, he really did not expect it.

Liu Wu actually captured Wancheng in one fell swoop!

Guan Ping was unaware of the subsequent strategies formulated by Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others. He just thought that Liu Bei was shocked by Liu Wu’s battle record.

Guan Ping smiled and said to Liu Bei:

“Master Liu Wu did capture Wancheng. Scouts reported that after Master Liu Wu showed Yu Jin’s head to Cao’s army, he also took many prisoners.”

“My lord, the news that Wancheng has been captured has spread throughout Xinye City, and the soldiers in the city are all overjoyed.”

Guan Ping told Liu Bei the good news.

However, when Liu Bei heard the good news, he felt quite complicated.

Deep down, Liu Bei was not very happy.

Because it was not Liu Bei who led the troops to capture Wancheng, but it was done by people on his behalf.

This is somewhat ironic.

But rationally speaking, Liu Bei should be very happy.

Because they captured Wancheng, it meant that they could potentially take over the entire Nanyang County.

Nanyang County is the imperial hometown and the largest county in the world.

The land here is fertile, the population is dense, and it is a strategic location. It can advance to the Central Plains such as Yuzhou and Yanzhou in the north, to Hanzhong in the west, and to Xiangyang and Jiangdong in the south. For Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other civil and military officials who have fallen to the small city of Xinye, being able to capture Nanyang County is an unprecedented excitement and surprise.

After all, the troops stationed in the small city of Xinye and surviving in the cracks were always being calculated and targeted by both Cao Cao and Liu Biao.

It’s too difficult and too painful.

Therefore, if they can completely control Nanyang County, they will be able to break through the situation. Liu Bei should be happy, and the Xinye forces should also be happy.

With mixed feelings, Liu Bei showed a stiff smile on his face and said:

“It’s good news, and the soldiers should be happy and cheering. However, it’s not time to celebrate yet. We must not let our guard down. Immediately have Shuzhi send half of his personal guards to Wancheng to help Zihao defend Wancheng. We must not lose it again and let Cao’s army capture it.”

“Also, tell the whole army that if we can hold Wancheng, after the battle, we will slaughter chickens and sheep to reward the whole army for two days. Those who have made contributions will be rewarded at least 100 coins!”

Liu Bei was talking about rewarding the three armies. Guan Ping did not feel that it was awkward for Liu Bei, who was lying on the sickbed, to give orders. He cupped his hands and said excitedly:

“Yes! Ping will now pass the order to the entire army!”

As he said this, Guan Ping was about to turn around and go out to convey Liu Bei’s military orders.

However, at this moment, Chen Dao hesitated and walked to the door.

“Uncle Zhi, you’re here? Why don’t you come in? The lord has something to tell you!”

Guan Ping turned around and saw Chen Dao, greeted him and said with a smile.

“Uncle Zhi is here? Come in quickly!”

Liu Bei, who was lying on the sickbed, listened to Guan Ping’s words and said with a gentle smile on his face.

Chen Dao walked in, bowed to Liu Bei, and said:

“I greet you, my lord!”

After the ceremony, Chen Dao’s expression became conflicted.

Liu Bei looked at Chen Dao’s expression and frowned, but he still smiled gently:
“Uncle Zhi, what happened?”

Although Chen Dao hesitated, he gritted his teeth and said:
“My Lord, I just learned that the doctor took Madam Mi’s pulse and it was a happy pulse. Madam Mi is pregnant!”

Chen Dao’s voice was not loud, but to Liu Bei and Guan Ping it sounded as loud and harsh as the morning bell and the evening drum.

Liu Bei was shocked.

Guan Ping’s eyes widened and he looked at Chen Dao in disbelief.

“Uncle… Uncle Zhi, what did you say? Mi is pregnant?”

Liu Bei’s face turned very ugly, and he looked at Chen Dao with a somewhat unacceptable voice.

“This… I dare not hide it. Madam Mi is indeed pregnant.”

Chen Dao bowed to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei suddenly covered his chest with his hands.

pain!
Excruciating pain!

This is not physical pain!
But it was more unacceptable to Liu Bei than the pain in his body.

Mrs. Mi remarried Liu Wu just one month ago, and she is pregnant?

“Bei…Bei got it. You guys can get out now.”

Liu Bei gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and then said:
“Shuzhi, don’t forget to dispatch half of your personal guards to rush to Wancheng to help. We must not let Wancheng be recaptured by Cao’s army. You should go to Wancheng in person to help defend the city.”

Liu Bei seemed to have recovered his composure in an instant and made arrangements for Chen Dao.

“Yes!” Chen Dao looked at Liu Bei worriedly, immediately agreed, bowed and turned to leave.

Guan Ping also bowed to Liu Bei and left.

As Chen Dao and Guan Ping left the room, Liu Bei was the only one left in the room.
