Shule, one of the 36 countries of the Western Regions, is located at the intersection of the north and south of the Western Regions, adjacent to Dawan, Wusun, and the Northern Xiongnu, and is the main road connecting the east and west, and the pass of the Western Regions. When Ban Chao was stationed in the Western Regions, he had garrisoned troops here.

Although it is in this battleground for soldiers, it is not taken seriously because of its small territory and barren land, and there are no more than 10,000 people in Shule, which is not prominent among the 36 countries in the Western Regions. However, perhaps because of the location on the main road, Ban Chao, Geng Gong and other Han generals have been stationed here, and they have seen the courage and resourcefulness of the Han people, and the royal family of this country has always been extremely close to and in awe of the Han family. After the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, this country was also one of the few countries in the Western Regions that still insisted on paying tribute and had no dissent.

Yuan, Cao, Liu, and Sun brought a large number of soldiers and young men to the Western Regions, and their last stop in the Western Regions was here.

Thanks to the generosity of the family, the four of them led the army all the way west and went very smoothly, but instead of being harassed in any way, they received preferential treatment from various countries, and prepared camp materials in advance.

What made Yuan Shao and them most pleased was that many small countries had some civilians and slaves attached to them. Needless to say, it is naturally because many families are optimistic about them, secretly manipulating, and betting on their own families.

Yuan Shao knew it in their hearts, but they didn't refuse to come. It's a win-win in itself, and the benefits of these populations are much greater in their hands than in the hands of the family. And they are now in the early stage of entrepreneurship, which is the time when the population is most needed, and at this time, someone is in the snow and takes the initiative to send investment, and they will naturally not refuse.

Although each of these small countries has a small population, it can send hundreds or even thousands of people. But no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, not to mention that the number is small but the number of times it can't stand is too large. The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions together are not a small number.

Regarding Yuan Shao's behavior of "stealing food", Yuan Shu just pretended not to see it. Because these populations are a drop in the bucket for Da Chu, but not for them. People are working hard for the Han people and Da Chu, as long as it is not excessive, this little support can still be given.

The group finally arrived at Shule, and there were nearly 10,000 more people in their respective teams. More than 100,000 people set up camp around Shule City.

"This is Shule City, it's a lot stronger than you imagined." After arranging the task, Sun Ce took Zhou Tai and a group of guards to the city of Shule, looked at the city wall in front of him, and nodded.

Sun Ce was the last to arrive, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei were already waiting under the city. Not because Sun Ce has a big frame, but because when it comes to internal affairs and camping ability, Chen Gong and others under Sun Ce are indeed inferior to the strategist group under the command of the other three.

"Ban Dingyuan and Captain Geng were stationed here, especially Captain Geng, who had no more than a few hundred people in this place to hold the 20,000 iron cavalry of the Northern Huns for several months, and in the end only more than 20 people did not give up, and finally held on until the reinforcements arrived, and only thirteen strong men were left to return to the country after victory. Such courage is really a model for our generation. Shule City has been reinforced by our Han army many times, if it is not strong enough, how can it withstand the Hun iron cavalry? Looking at the slightly mottled city wall, Cao Cao, who has had a dream of being a general of the expedition to the west since he was a child, sighed.

"For the affairs of the Western Regions, Meng De is really a treasure!" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Such a hero is indeed admirable, and in the future, we will also fight for the country and defend the frontier like Captain Geng!" Sun Ce said enthusiastically when he heard this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's getting late, so please go to the city. Our king has already prepared a banquet and has been waiting for a long time. The waiter said cautiously.

"Okay, let's go into town." Yuan Shao nodded.

Under the guidance of the attendants, the group rode directly to the palace in the gorgeous carriage that had been prepared by them.

In the main hall of the palace, the white-haired King Shule was waiting anxiously, with a look of panic and anxiety on his face.

When the waiter paged, he made up his mind and hurried to the gate of the palace to greet him.

Although Yuan Shao and the others didn't want to show anything deliberately, they had been in the position of the master of the people for a long time and held the power of life and death, and the king's aura on their bodies would unconsciously overflow. And Sun Ce, with his heroic spirit, is not inferior to others.

Feeling these momentum, King Shule became more and more nervous and panicked. In the end, it is a person from the kingdom, and this momentum is far inferior to that of King Wusun. Hurriedly said: "Xiao Wang has seen His Royal Highness King Zhao, His Royal Highness King Wei, His Royal Highness King Han, and His Royal Highness King Wu. ”

Sending Sun Ce out Yuan Shu originally wanted to let him be in charge and seal the country independently like Yuan Shao, so for the sake of Sun Ce's status, he directly named Sun Ce the king of Wu.

As for Yuan Shao, it is naturally impossible for him to call himself the son of Zhao Tianzi and directly descend to the king of Zhao. Cao Cao and Liu Bei were the same, each crowned king.

In fact, Liu Bei should have been crowned the king of Shu at the beginning, but this guy wanted to keep the reputation of the orthodox descendants of the Han family, so he asked Yuan Shu for a king of Han in order to die or live. Liu Bei's self-proclaimed King of Han is actually a bit out of line, but Yuan Shu doesn't care, whether Liu Bei is really dedicated to the Han family or what, it doesn't matter to Yuan Shu.

Moreover, seeing a big man crying bitterly every day, pestering himself and all the strategists under his command, looking like he would die if you didn't promise me, Yuan Shu really couldn't stand it, and he was afraid of being embarrassed.

After seeing Liu Bei's crying skills, Yuan Shu felt more and more that it was not for nothing that this product could succeed. Not to mention anything else, just this trick can come at any time to shock, and the crying skill of revealing true feelings is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

When it comes to acting skills and shamelessness, I, Yuan Shu, would like to consider you the strongest.

Lao Tzu is scared, it's not good! Go to the Western Regions for Lao Tzu, and if you want to harm whoever you want, just stay away from Lao Tzu.

Should I say it or not, Liu Bei got the most of the "gifted" population from various countries along the way, accounting for forty percent. There was no way, as soon as the words of benevolence and righteousness were spoken, tears were wiped away, and then a few representatives who had defected showed up to speak, and the officials and people of the countries who didn't understand anything unconsciously sent them to the door.

If it weren't for the fear of arousing public anger, Liu Bei might be able to wrap everyone up.

In this regard, Yuan Shao and the three of them were angry and had to pay compensation, and it was okay for them to pull down their faces, but they really couldn't do this kind of miserable and foolish work.

However, Liu Bei's "outstanding" performance also won their recognition. After all, this is also something that capable people can't do. Especially in the Western Regions, a place with a complicated surrounding situation, Liu Bei is estimated to be the one who can mix it up the most.

In the face of King Shule's respect, the three of them didn't care, but just nodded slightly: "It's hard work." ”

King Shule did not have the slightest resentment in his heart, but only felt that it was right, and respectfully welcomed the four into the prepared upper seats, while he himself was at the last seat.

Although he is also the so-called "king", how dare he really regard himself as a king in the face of the prince of Shangguo?

There are only more than 10,000 people in the whole country, not even 20,000 people, and I am afraid that it will not be less than this number in any small city in Dachu.

And in front of them, there are nearly 100,000 elite troops outside the city alone, not counting the rest of the young and strong.

The seating of the upper seats is obviously deliberately arranged, with four in a row to show that there is no distinction between up and down. However, in comparison, the middle two positions are indeed more noble, and the Han Dynasty respected the right, and Yuan Shu did not correct these details.

Yuan Shao naturally took the seat first, occupying the right position of the middle two, and Cao Cao occupied the other. Liu Bei didn't leave first, but looked at Sun Ce first.

Sun Ce was free and easy, and sat directly beside Cao Cao when he saw this. Although he has the desire to win, he also knows the general situation. Liu Bei Qian, he didn't know what to expect. The identities of the four people present are high and low, and they all have a tacit understanding in their hearts. It's here that he sits cheekily, and it's just ridiculous and generous.

Status is to be proved by one's own strength. He is the youngest and the least qualified, and he will put himself in the right place. It will come from when there is a change of position.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment when he saw this, then smiled slightly and sat in his own place. Although Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were silent, they were indeed appreciative in their hearts.

There is a basis for advancing and retreating, and this son is indeed qualified to sit in this position with himself and others.
