My father-in-law Guan Yu, I persuaded Liu Bei to launch a surprise attack on Xiangyang at the beginn

Chapter 1: Being picked up by Guan Yinping at the beginning

July of the 13th year of Jian'an.

Cao Cao, with the power of pacifying Hebei, assembled 100,000 elite troops, claiming to have an army of 800,000.

He led his troops south, heading straight for Jingzhou.

...

In the mountains and forests northeast of Fancheng.

A young man in strange clothes was crawling through the mountains, taking one step forward and one step back.

"They won't even let me into the camp. What happened to the promise of selecting only the most talented?"

"If you don't want to accept it, then don't accept it. At least give me some clothes. Then I won't have to hide in this deep forest and get lost. I'm afraid I'll starve to death in this desolate mountain..."

Xiao He was so hungry that he felt dizzy and dazed. He kept complaining to himself. He could only hope for a lucky break and open his backpack again to see if there were any leftover biscuit crumbs.

Just as he opened his backpack, a moose suddenly appeared behind him.

"careful!"

As a woman's warning sounded, a sharp arrow came towards him and whizzed past his ear.

The sharp arrow hit the elk.

Xiao He was suddenly startled, stepped on empty air, and rolled down the hillside.

"boom!"

His head hit the stone.

Just before closing his eyes, he seemed to see a woman in armor riding a tall horse running towards him in a daze.

Everything went dark before my eyes and I lost consciousness.

...

Fancheng, in a wing room in the inner courtyard of the government office.

Liu Bei and a group of counselors and generals were watching the young man lying on the couch, who was wearing strange clothes and was unconscious.

"Yinping, where did you bring this person back from?"

Liu Bei raised his head and looked at the bright and beautiful girl in armor with suspicion.

"My niece went out hunting this morning and chased an elk into the woods. Just as she was about to shoot her arrow, this guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

"Luckily, I deflected just in time, so the arrow just grazed the man's body and didn't kill him on the spot."

"But the man got startled, missed his step, and hit his head on a rock, knocking him unconscious on the spot."

"My niece found him quite strange, so she brought him back."

Guan Yinping was very clever and explained the whole story.

After hearing his niece's story, Liu Bei and everyone else looked at each other, and the doubts in their eyes only grew.

So he lowered his head and looked at the young man on the couch again.

He had no long hair and no beard, and at first glance he looked like a criminal who had been shaved.

However, the criminal was not wearing a prison uniform. It looked extremely strange and felt like neither cloth, linen nor silk. The material was unheard of.

I think it is made of some rare fabric. How could a criminal on punishment afford to wear such clothes?

In addition, there were a bunch of strange things piled on the table, all of which were taken out of the bag that the man was carrying.

There were flashlights, engineering shovels, thermoses, lighters...a bunch of odds and ends.

"Military Advisor Kong Ming, these items are truly rare. I have never seen them before in my life."

"You are well-informed and well-versed in history and the present. Do you understand these things?"

Liu Bei looked blankly at the young man in white holding a feather fan beside him.

This young man was none other than Zhuge Kongming, the Sleeping Dragon, whom he had just appointed as his military advisor after three visits to his thatched cottage to invite him out of seclusion.

Zhuge Liang widened his eyes and looked at it carefully, but a look of shame appeared on his face.

"Forgive my limited knowledge. I don't recognize any of the objects on the table."

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly embarrassedly.

Liu Bei's face became more and more surprised.

Even the Wolong who was known for being able to pacify the world with one thing had never seen these strange things, let alone these warriors.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Zhang Fei muttered to himself as he picked up a flashlight and looked around.

There is a cylindrical object that looks like iron but not iron, and like pottery but not pottery. On it is a round thin object that looks like crystal but is more transparent than crystal.

Zhang Fei narrowed his eyes and looked inside.

While playing with it, I accidentally pressed the switch button.

A beam of light instantly shone on Zhang Fei's face.

"oops!"

Zhang Fei screamed in fright and almost dropped the cylinder in his hand.

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and the Guan family father and daughter all came forward with a look of curiosity on their faces.

"How can this thing, without any fire, emit such a bright light?"

"How wonderful, how wonderful it is!"

Zhuge Liang took it from Zhang Fei and looked at it over and over again.

I looked at it for a long time, but couldn't figure out the reason.

I accidentally pressed the button again.

The beam of light disappeared instantly.

Zhuge Liang discovered the trick, so he turned it on and off, and the cylinder flickered, and he was amazed.

"What's the use of this thing?" Guan Yinping picked up the lighter from the table.

Several people came closer.

Guan Yu came closer, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and found that the little thing was transparent and contained something like water.

Just when people were speculating.

Guan Yinping accidentally pressed the ignition button.

"Pong!"

A stream of hot flame instantly rushed out from the nozzle.

Guan Yu came too close and his beautiful beard was almost set on fire. He was so frightened that he took half a step back and hurriedly lowered his head to check if his beautiful beard was damaged.

Guan Yinping's face turned pale and she threw the lighter down.

Her father loved his beard very much. If she accidentally burned a few of his strands, he would be in for a storm.

Fortunately, Guan Yu dodged quickly enough and his beautiful beard was not damaged.

"What on earth is this thing, and why can it spit fire?"

Although it was a false alarm, Guan Yu was still a little annoyed.

Zhuge Liang picked up the lighter and pressed it a few times like Guan Yinping did, and it really started to light up.

"This tiny thing can actually spit fire with just a light press. It's truly magical!"

Zhuge Liang nodded continuously and marveled at it again.

Guan Yinping breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her father's beautiful beard was intact, but she turned around and glared at the man on the couch.

"Uncle, father!"

"This guy's origins are unknown, his clothing is strange, and the things he carries are also strange. Could he be a Yellow Turban demon?"

Guan Yinping's guess made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately alert.

Liu Bei smiled disapprovingly and said:

"Yinping, don't make random guesses. The Yellow Turban Rebellion has been over for almost twenty years. There's no way there would be any Yellow Turban demons around now."

Guan Yinping was speechless.

Zhang Fei scratched his head, his eyes lit up:
"If he's not a Yellow Turban demon, could he be a hermit immortal?"

"Are these strange things of his all immortal things, like fairy lamps and fairy fires?"

Liu Bei was stunned and unable to refute for a moment, so he could only look at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang thought for a long time, then sighed:

"The sages only warned us to stay away from the notion of ghosts and gods, but they did not explicitly say whether or not there really are gods and ghosts in this world."

"I'm sorry I can't answer General Yide's guess."

What he meant was that he neither denied nor agreed, and he just remained silent.

Guan Yinping scoffed and said disapprovingly:

"Uncle San is just making wild guesses. If he really is an immortal, how could he be knocked unconscious by my arrow?"

This time it was Zhang Fei's turn to be speechless.

Everyone made various guesses, but no conclusion could be reached.

Liu Bei had no choice but to wave his hand and said:
"Although this young man looks strange, we should not make any assumptions."

"It won't be too late to find out his identity after he wakes up."

The words trailed off.

Xiao He, who was lying on the couch, suddenly sat up with a start.

He woke up.

Looking around, I found myself in an ancient room.

Three middle-aged uncles, a handsome guy in white clothes, and a spirited young girl in armor, the five of them were staring at him with wide eyes.

Xiao He swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice with a guilty look on his face:
"Excuse me, where is this place and why am I here?"

Liu Bei pointed at Guan Yinping and said:
"My niece said she was hunting in the mountains yesterday and accidentally startled you, causing you to tumble down the hillside and pass out."

"My niece just brought you back to Fancheng."

Xiao He touched the back of his head and gradually recalled what happened before. It seemed that it was just as he said. Before he fainted, he did see a girl dressed as a military general.

It should be the one next to her. Now looking at her carefully, this girl is actually a pretty little beauty.

"I see."

Xiao He calmed down and gave Guan Yinping a slightly unfamiliar bow:

"Thank you very much for your help, young lady. May I ask your name, and the general's full name?"

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other.

Being so polite and well-mannered, with decent words and actions, we can at least confirm that he is not a bandit, but most likely a scholar.

"I am Liu Bei, the Left General of the Han Dynasty, and the one who saved you is my niece Guan Yinping."

"May I know this gentleman's name?"

Liu Bei let down his guard, bowed politely, and gave his name.

"Liu Xuande?"

Xiao Hemo's eyes widened.

He was eight feet tall, with ears that reached down to his shoulders and hands that reached down to his knees...

General Zuo, Fancheng, niece Guan Yinping...

Who else could this person in front of me be but Liu Bei, the famous Emperor Zhaolie of Han Dynasty?
"it's fate…"
