Chapter 81: Chapter 81: The Ambition of Fa Zheng

...

Guo Jia was the most formidable strategist Mount Tai had recruited in such a long time, so when Chen Xi summoned Liu Bei, he explicitly told Liu Bei to make as grand a display as possible, and he even specifically hinted that the young Fa Zheng was also very important, advising him to win over the boy's favor.

Liu Bei fully grasped Chen Xi's intention, and directly led all the remaining civil officials and military generals to welcome Guo Jia. To Chen Xi's astonishment, Liu Bei even brought out a carriage, an open-top carriage with tassels and ornaments decorating the cover, truly the highest standard.

Liu Bei personally helped Guo Jia onto the carriage, then climbed up himself and pulled Chen Xi up as well, leaving Fa Zheng alone, his face filled with envy as he watched the two sitting in the carriage, before Liu Bei extended his hand to him once more.
