"Hahaha, Xuande is back. Quick, sit down.”
Liu Bei looked around the tent and forced a smile.
With such a great victory, Yuan Shao did not even rearrange his seat. It was still a low stool at the tent, as if no matter how hard he tried, he could not really integrate into this circle.
Humiliation!
He was clearly the one who had repelled the invading enemy and dispelled the might of the alliance army!
The three of them had even risked their lives, not even getting the least bit of respect in return.
Such a narrow-minded alliance leader, such a duke who did not care about anything, could they really save the Han Dynasty?
Liu Bei felt as if his legs were weighing a thousand pounds. The anger in his chest was about to burn away his last bit of rationality.
For the sake of righteousness in his heart, he finally held back and returned to his seat step by step. He cupped his fists at Yuan Shao and said,
"Alliance Master, we three brothers didn't fail our mission.”
"Alright, alright. The three of them were heroes. Men, serve the wine. Today, we won't go home until we're drunk.”
From the beginning to the end, Yuan Shao only paid lip service to the three brothers for defeating the enemy.
It was more of a way for the higher-ups to rope in the lower-ups. As for the matter of rewards, there was no mention of it.
The Plain Field Form was still the Plain Field Form.
Horse archers and infantry archers were still archers who couldn't even be ranked.
If he were to arrive at the main hall of the Imperial Palace in the future, this credit would naturally go into Yuan Shao's pocket.
It was because he had no one in the court, no power in his hands, and no soldiers under him.
In the past, Liu Bei did not know how despicable the human heart could be. Now, life had taught him a good lesson.
The banquet lasted until late at night. Only when everyone was a little drunk did Yuan Shao wave his hand."Everyone, it's already late at night. Go back and prepare your troops. We'll attack Tiger Cage Pass in a few days. Once we enter Luoyang and rescue the emperor, we'll gather again.”
Clang!
A wine jar exploded on the ground. Zhang Fei stood up, panting heavily. Borrowing the strength of the wine, he pointed at Yuan Shao and shouted,"Yuan Benchu, let me ask you, where is my brother's reward?”
Liu Bei was already 70% drunk. He raised his hand to grab Zhang Fei, but the latter broke free."Chen Zijin beheaded Hua Xiong and was promoted to the rank of a rebel commander. He was also promoted to the position of prefect of Dongjun along with Cao Mengde. Why do you think you can dismiss my big brother with a banquet after he defeated Lu Bu? Wasn't he the alliance leader? Wasn't he supposed to receive the seal on behalf of the heavens? Don't tell me you think that the three of us are easy to bully!”
"Yi De, don't say anymore! I'm here for the Han Dynasty, not for fame!”Liu Bei clenched his fists tightly. When he said this, his heart was bleeding.
It wasn't that he was noble, but if there was an official position, he would gladly accept it.
He was pretending to be noble just to hide the disappointment in his heart!
Loyalty to the Han Dynasty, what a bright and noble slogan.
However, Liu Bei himself did not know how long he could still be loyal to the Han Dynasty, which could only be paid over and over again without any returns.
Cough!
Yuan Shao coughed awkwardly.
It was true that he had wanted to take Liu Bei's credit. To put it bluntly, there were only so many credits for the crusade against Dong Zhuo. However, there were eighteen dukes here. If others got more, he would get less.
Liu Bei was just a mere Plain Field Minister. Even if he bullied him, he could do nothing about it.
Originally, everyone had a tacit understanding not to mention it, but now that Zhang Fei's words were exposed, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei bore a grudge.
"Yi De is annoyed. This alliance leader rewards and punishes clearly, so I naturally won't mistreat those who have done well. But now Lu Bu has not been removed, and Hulao has not been conquered. In the future, when you three brothers kill Lu Bu, you will be rewarded together. What do you think?”
"What do I think?" "What?" Zhang Fei sneered. If Lu Bu wanted to leave, who in the world could kill him? Based on the Yan Liang, the ugly man you're bragging about?”
"You!"
Liu Bei stood up with the help of Guan Yu and finally stood in front of Zhang Fei.""Alright, Yide, don't say anymore. I'm tired. Let's go back."
"Humph!" Zhang Fei glared at Yuan Shao one last time before supporting Liu Bei and walking out of the tent.
Only after the three of them had walked far away did Yuan Shao angrily slap all the wine on the table onto the ground.
"Zhang Yide, Liu Xuande! To think that I thought the three of them were righteous men, but I didn't expect them to be hypocritical villains.”
Puff!
At such a solemn moment, the bystanders were still rummaging through their stomachs to prepare words to comfort Yuan Shao. That sneer in the quiet big tent was particularly ear-piercing.
Everyone looked away. Chen Tong waved his hand in embarrassment."I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really couldn't hold it in.”
This time, Yuan Shao's face turned even darker. He flung his sleeves and left in a huff, and everyone dispersed.
When no one was around, Cao Cao asked,""What is Scholar Fang laughing at?"
"That Yuan Shao is extremely hypocritical, yet he still has the face to call others hypocritical. Isn't it funny?”
"Just because of this?"
"Not only that, but he also laughed at Liu Bei for clearly wanting to be rewarded, but not knowing to fight for it himself. Poor Zhang Fei stood up for nothing. Not only did he offend Yuan Shao, he didn't get any benefits at all.”
Cao Cao took a deep breath,"
"Zi Jin laughed at the wrong Liu Bei.”
"Why?" Chen Tong was puzzled.
"Why do you think Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Yu of Youzhou, and Liu Yan of Shu didn't come to help the king? The status of a relative of the Han clan was a sensitive one. If he had made great contributions to the country and entered the court, would the emperor be the eight-year-old child Liu Xie or the original Liu Bei? After all, in terms of bloodline, Liu Bei was closer to Emperor Gaozu than the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong. Thus, anyone in the tent could claim credit for it, but Liu Bei could not. Yuan Benchu had taken a fancy to this point, so he pretended to be deaf and mute.”
Chen Tong blinked his eyes hard." So there are so many twists and turns in this. It's really complicated." What if it was Big Brother? If Big Brother was the Alliance Master, how would he deal with Liu Bei?”
Cao Cao laughed,"I was kind enough to help you solve your doubts. How did you get in?" If I were Yuan Benchu and Liu Bei had made contributions, I would let him temporarily replace the governor of Qingzhou.”
"Big brother is the best."
"Tunnel?"
Cao Cao smiled and didn't reply.
Yuan Shao's intention to plot against Jizhou had already been revealed. With Han Fu's skill in Jizhou, it was only a matter of time before he was driven out of office by Yuan Shao.
As for the neighboring Qingzhou, it was a mess.
The Yellow Turban disaster continued for years, and the land was poor and hungry.
It just so happened that Liu Bei had the ability and ambition. After he went to pacify Qingzhou, he would take over. Wouldn't that save trouble?
Of course, Liu Bei could resist.
The problem was, with such a devastated Qingzhou as the foundation, how could they defeat the strong Jizhou?
Wasn't the so-called political stratagem to let others do things for him but be willing to do it?
