As Liu Bei came out, Xiaotian grabbed him by the arm and said, "Old Liu, you've come at just the right time. The three of us were discussing what to do about the Emperor. Old Cao thinks it's best not to dispatch troops right now, but my father-in-law and I believe we should send out an army to secure Sili Province first, establish border defenses, and finally escort the Emperor back to Luoyang."
Liu Bei pondered this for a moment and said, "All of that will take time, but I think Old Cao makes a valid point. That region is simply too close to the state's enemies, so it's not suitable to return just yet."
Lü Bu said with dissatisfaction, "I have my Sky Piercing Halberd, and Tianming gave me back my Red Hare. Just give me ten thousand soldiers, and I will eliminate those state enemies."
