The Three Kingdoms: Zhaolie, the strategist, and the rise of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 1: I was saved by Liu Bei on the first day of my journey (new book, please bookmark it!)
The first year of Xingping was 194 AD.

Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou for the second time on the pretext of avenging his father.

Wherever the army passed, hundreds of thousands of men and women were killed, leaving no chickens or dogs alive, and the Si River stopped flowing.

Tao Qian invited Liu Bei to help him resist Cao Cao.

Liu Bei and Cao Bao joined forces to resist Cao Cao's army in Tan County, but were ultimately defeated by Cao Cao.

The battle situation became tense for a while, and the situation in Xuzhou was precarious!
……

“…cough…cough.”

With a violent cough, Li Yi struggled to crawl out from the pile of dead bodies.

He took a deep breath.

There is a vast sunset in front of me and a lingering breeze in my ears.

But what the breeze brought with it was the sweet smell of blood and the stench of rotting corpses that could not be blown away.

Li Yi's heart was full of excitement. He was a senior executive of the company and was leading his employees on a mountain climbing team-building activity.

However, he accidentally got separated from the main group, and when he finally found some people.

But they were a group of vicious soldiers, baring their fangs and brandishing swords, ready to chop him without asking why.

Li Yi had no choice but to escape.

These two days he was either running for his life or on his way to run for his life.

He never thought time would pass so slowly.

In two days,
All I could hear was the exciting neighing of war horses, and all I could see was the dull sight of splattering blood and flesh.

If Li Yi hadn't had good physical fitness, he would have been one of the corpses on the ground.

Looking at the broken limbs all over the ground, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh.

For the first time, he felt what it meant to rather be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.

In troubled times, human life is truly worthless.

Li Yi claimed that he was not a saint, but when he saw the piles of bones in front of him, he still felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

Perhaps this is what it means when a rabbit dies and a fox mourns, and animals feel sorry for their own kind...

Stand up and keep moving forward.

Li Yi is not a sentimental person, and he doesn't like to talk unnecessary nonsense.

The weak complain about the environment, the strong change the environment.

Facing the setbacks ahead, it is not manly to cry and whine. Only by facing the challenges head-on can you have a chance to survive in this cruel world!

Li Yi took off his backpack and counted the items inside.

Binoculars, lighters, chewing gum, first aid kit...all the mountaineering supplies are available.

Even in the most difficult times, Li Yi did not abandon his backpack.

He knew that these things were important and unique in this era...

Li Yi took out a piece of wafer biscuit and put it in his mouth to chew. This was the last one.

These days, I rely on it to replenish my body's energy so that I have the strength to avoid the pursuit of the enemy army.

"kill!!"

Suddenly, I heard a war horse neighing behind me.

A cavalry squad brandished long swords and rushed towards Li Yi with a roar.

Li Yi was secretly surprised and had to get up and run.

Before they had taken two steps, they ran into a cavalry formation head-on.

Li Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, is this God's will for me?
Even though I had more or less guessed that I might have traveled through time in the past two days, I was really unhappy during these two days.

He had been dodging the enemy's pursuit and had no chance to make use of his advantage as a time traveler.

Am I going to die here in obscurity?

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a middle-aged general in front of him shouting to Li Yi:

"Then Xiaolang, come over here quickly!"

Fortunately, Li Yi had learned ancient Chinese and could understand the general's words to some extent.

Rushing forward, the middle-aged general caught Li Yi, drew his sword, and chopped down the knight who was charging at him!
Good job!
In a flash, the bandit was beheaded.

Only when you see this scene with your own eyes will you feel shocked.

After the middle-aged general killed the bandits, the remaining bandits were frightened and fled in all directions.

Seeing this, a general volunteered:
"Brother, let me catch up with you!"

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged general waved his hand and answered:
"No need to rush, saving people is more important."

As he said this, he dismounted from his horse, lifted his clothes, and stepped forward to catch Li Yi.

He changed his fierce expression when facing the enemy and put on a light smile. He asked Li Yi kindly:

"Xiao Lang, are you okay?"

Li Yi was slightly startled, thinking that this man must be either rich or noble because of the supporters around him.

But he was willing to humble himself and care about ordinary people like himself, which was very rare in ancient times.

This kind of person is definitely someone who will accomplish great things, so you must hold on to him tightly!

"nothing……"

Li Yi shook his head and expressed his gratitude to the middle-aged general.

"If you hadn't saved me just now, I would have died at the hands of the thieves." "Thank you very much for saving my life, may I know your name?"

The middle-aged general replied:

"My name is Liu Bei, courtesy name Xuande."

"The person next to me is my second brother Guan Yu."

"Cao Cao led his troops to attack Xuzhou. I was entrusted by Envoy Tao to come and resist."

"I was leading the troops on an inspection just now, and I didn't expect to see Xiaolang being cornered by the enemy army. Fortunately, I arrived in time."

"Otherwise, you might die at the hands of the thieves."

Liu Bei?

Li Yi was surprised. The person in front of him was actually the famous Emperor Zhaolie of Han in history!

The person next to him should be Guan Erye, who is even more majestic and powerful than on TV.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu resisted Cao's army in Tan County, so it should be 194 AD.

This year,
Cao Cao's second attack on Xuzhou resulted in endless killing.

Yuan Shao dominated Hebei and fought endlessly with Gongsun Zan.

Sun Ce started his career in Jiangdong and gradually broke away from Yuan Shu's control.

Liu Bei was still wandering around, trying to find a place of his own...

This piece of land will soon be available, and once obtained, Liu Bei will have the opportunity to truly step up to the poker table.

Play games with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other princes to compete for the world.

You can’t go wrong!

After quickly sorting out the current timeline, Li Yi calmed down.

He had a strong ability to adapt to the environment. Following the principle of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do", he imitated Liu Bei and bowed.

"It turns out to be Envoy Liu. I have heard of you for a long time!"

This is the art of speaking.

Li Yi deliberately called Liu Bei "Envoy" instead of "Lord of the Palace".

Liu Bei was originally the Prime Minister of Pingyuan and should be called "Lord of the Fu".

But when he came to help Tao Qian, Tao Qian recommended Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou in order to boost Liu Bei's momentum.

Although this governor was a figurehead, he went through all the official procedures.

Calling Liu Bei "Envoy" is equivalent to indirectly acknowledging his identity as the Governor of Yuzhou, which is a form of respect.

Liu Bei felt a little favorable towards him and said with a smile:

"Do you know me, Liu Bei?"

Which hero doesn’t want to be famous throughout the world?

Liu Bei had just arrived in Xuzhou not long ago, and even a commoner had heard of his name. How could he not be happy?
"...Haha, Envoy Liu's name is well-known, and even a mountain savage like me has heard of it for a long time."

Seeing that Li Yi looked embarrassed at the moment, but still looked dignified and elegant, Liu Bei's favorable impression of him doubled, and he asked again:
"I see that the young man is very well-spoken and is definitely not an ordinary person. This is not the place to talk."

"How about you come back to Tan County with me?"

Li Yi was secretly delighted; this was the protection umbrella he had been longing for.

"How dare you disobey your orders!"

He responded and followed Liu Bei back to Tan County.

On the way, Guan Yu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke:
"Brother, what do you think of this man?"

Liu Bei answered without hesitation:
"He has a decent appearance and doesn't look like a bad person."

"Why do you ask me this, my dear brother?"

Guan Yu frowned and stared at Li Yi who was walking in front of him.

He is not one to gossip about others behind their backs.

But Li Yi's appearance is really weird!

He had neither hair nor beard, and looked like a thief who had been punished by having his head shaved.

Most of those who were subject to the punishment of shaving their heads had their appearance disfigured.

This person has regular facial features and fair skin, which is really strange.

Guan Yu did not want to speak ill of others behind their backs, but was also afraid that his elder brother would suffer, so he could only say:
"This person has a strange appearance, strange clothes, and unknown origins."

"These are troubled times, brother, please be careful and beware of thieves."

Liu Bei disagreed and shook his head lightly.

"If he doesn't tell me, how can I know his origin? I'll find out after I ask him."

"Besides, I see that this man has a decent appearance and is definitely not a bad person."

"He was also cornered by the enemy army before. You saw it with your own eyes. Why have you forgotten it?"

Guan Yu remained silent.

Liu Bei smiled slightly and patted his shoulder.

“Who is loyal and who is treacherous, who is good and who is evil, cannot be summed up in one word.”

"When we return to Tan County, we will have a final conclusion."

After saying this, he urged his horse forward.
