A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 708 Liu Guanzhang

After accumulating for so many years and occupying most of the country, with the emperor and justice in his hands, Lu Cheng did not delay any longer and sent troops everywhere to clear the world.

After pacifying Liang Province and destroying Yuan Shu, Lu Cheng's army had accumulated an invincible momentum and was invincible wherever it went.

Faced with such an army sweeping across the world, Liu Biao did not forcefully resist, for fear of being defeated and killed, and bringing harm to his family.

Lu Cheng did not kill all those who were willing to go to Luoyang to pay homage to the emperor. At least he gave them a chance to retire.

For those who still resist, we will send our army to invade and crush them directly.

In August of the fourth year of Chuping, Zhao Yun escorted Ma Teng's family and led light cavalry back to Luoyang.

At the same time, Lu Cheng sent Zhang He and Xu Huang into Jingzhou to take over the defense of Jingzhou and reorganize the troops of Jingzhou.

At the same time, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin also arrived in Jingzhou and took over the Jingzhou navy.

At the same time, Taishi Ci led his troops to conquer the counties of Yangzhou, squeezing Cao Cao's living space.

In September of the fourth year of Chuping, Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhi, sent an envoy with gifts to Luoyang to pay homage to the emperor and express his submission.

At the same time, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong also sent an envoy, Yan Pu, with gifts to Luoyang to meet with General Lu Cheng and express his intention to surrender.

When this trend took shape, everyone with a discerning eye in the world knew that the time for the unification of the world was not far away. The only uncertainty was whether and when General Lu Cheng would ascend to the throne and become emperor.

In the court, many officials who were originally loyal to the Han Dynasty and Emperor Liu Xie also began to want to join the general's camp.

In this world, there may not be many people who help others in times of need, but there are definitely many people who add icing on the cake or take advantage of others’ misfortunes.

Not everyone can be loyal to the Han Dynasty to the end and seek to leave their name in history.

In Luoyang City, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang were walking on the street. Looking at the bustling scene around them, they couldn't help but sigh: "Luoyang was almost burned down by Dong Zhuo in the past, but I never thought that we would see such a prosperous scene today. If... if the emperor could..."

Seeing Liu Bei sighing there, Zhang Fei beside him could not help but speak up: "Brother, if you don't want to stay in Luoyang, the three of us brothers will go far away. The world is so big, there is always a place for us to stay."

"Although the world is vast, it is not the land of the Han Dynasty. I, Liu Xuande, have devoted myself to serving the imperial court, and have never seen the emperor. Now that I have come to Luoyang, I must at least fulfill this wish."

At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly heard a few pedestrians talking around him: "Have you heard? The general and his disciples are providing free medical consultations at the city's medical clinic today. Let's go and line up. Maybe we can get the general to diagnose us."

"It's probably too late to go now, isn't it? The general is usually very busy with government affairs, and when he occasionally comes out for a free clinic, it's always packed with people, and the line can fill the entire street."

"Even if I can't meet the general, it would be nice to meet his young disciple. I heard that the young master is only twelve years old, but his medical skills are already quite good. Moreover, when he sees poor people seeking medical treatment, he will give them some medicine for free."

"The general is kind-hearted and benevolent, and he loves the people. The disciples he taught also have such broad minds. It is really admirable."

Hearing this, Guan Yu glanced at Liu Bei and said, "Brother, should we go meet that great general?"

Zhang Fei, who was standing by, heard this and his already dark face instantly became even darker: "Why should we go see him if there is nothing going on?"

Liu Bei thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's go and meet the general."

Zhang Fei was a little anxious: "Brother!"

Liu Bei sighed, "Third brother, this great general has pacified the world, made the people well-fed and well-clothed, and enjoyed peace and prosperity. He has indeed made contributions to the country and the people. I, Liu Bei, have wasted half my life trying to do something for the people of the world, but in the end, I have accomplished nothing. That great general has done everything he said. Isn't he worthy of our admiration?"

In fact, people's ambitions change as their strength grows.

When Liu Bei first led his army to fight against the Yellow Turbans, he never thought that he would become the King of Hanzhong, or even the emperor and divide the world into three parts in the future.

Perhaps, at first he just wanted to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, assisting the emperor and supporting the Han Dynasty.

But now that the country is about to be settled and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, Liu Bei has still accomplished nothing. Naturally, he does not dare to hope for any grand ambitions.

Even if Zhuge Liang, who is now 12 years old, becomes 28 years old, he will not think of assisting Liu Bei and dividing the world into three parts after he comes out of the mountains. Unless Zhuge Liang really knows magic and can call the wind and rain and turn beans into soldiers, it is possible for him to go against the will of heaven.

Under the general trend, any resistance is futile.

In a medical clinic on the main road in the south of Luoyang City.

Lu Cheng, who had nothing to do, got in a good mood and took Liu Xie, who was in plain clothes, to the clinic to provide free medical treatment to the people.

In front of the clinic, there was only a small team of guards directing the people to line up and maintain order.

The people outside lined up in an orderly manner from the beginning to the end of the street, standing against the wall, and did not affect the street traffic.

Inside the clinic, Lu Cheng took an old man's pulse with a smile on his face, and said casually: "The old man must have eaten something cold recently, which hurt his spleen and stomach. It's not a big problem. I'll prescribe a prescription for you. Go get some medicine. You will be cured in less than three days."

"Thank you, General."

Liu Xie, who was standing aside, was filled with admiration when he saw the people expressing their sincere gratitude to Lu Cheng.

At this time, a man in his thirties came to the clinic with a little girl. After seeing Liu Xie, he immediately took the little girl to bow to Liu Xie and said, "Thank you, Doctor. Last time, thanks to your free diagnosis for my daughter and the medicine she gave me, my daughter is now completely healed. We came here this time to thank you."

We are poor and don't have anything valuable, but the sweet potatoes we planted this year have produced a good harvest. I brought some for you, and you must buy them."

"This..." Liu Xie looked at the father and daughter with gratitude on their faces, and felt a little excited, but he still looked at Lu Cheng out of habit, not knowing whether he should say it.

Lu Cheng nodded: "Xiao Xie, since it is a sincere thank you from the people, you should accept it."

Liu Xie then reached out to take the bamboo basket from the man, and then reached out to touch the little girl's head: "Xiao Taozi, thank you for your gift."

The little girl was not afraid of strangers: "Big brother, when I grow up, I will marry you and become your wife, okay?"

It was the first time that Liu Xie had encountered such a thing, and his face turned red immediately. The people around him couldn't help laughing, and the scene was quite harmonious.

After the father and daughter left, new patients entered the clinic.

At this time, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang just arrived at the door of the clinic. When they were about to look inside, they suddenly saw a few familiar faces.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but exclaimed: "Isn't that Lu Bu? And Xu Chu! Why are they all here?"

"I thought there were only so many guards outside, but I didn't expect there were so many hidden talents inside this clinic."

Lü Bu and Xu Chu also saw the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang outside. They gestured to Dian Wei who was standing at the door. Dian Wei immediately walked up to the three brothers and said, "Three of you, if you are not here to see a doctor, please don't stay here, so as not to disturb the people who are seeing a doctor."

Liu Bei bowed and said, "Please inform the general that I am Liu Bei from Zhuo County and would like to see the general."
