"Liu Bei."
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shao's expression was somewhat solemn, but he did not have any anger.
However, just as he said this, Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat.
Finished?
No way…
Hesitating, Liu Bei did not know what to say and could only listen.
Panic!
……
"Your three brothers retreated without being injured. How do you explain this?" Yuan Shao continued.”
Explain?
Explain my ass!
At this moment, Liu Bei was also conflicted. He couldn't tell the truth because he was worried that his brother would be injured, right?
If that was the case, none of the three of them would be able to leave this door today.
That's right!
Suddenly, Liu Bei had an idea." Reporting to the Alliance Master, the reason why our brothers retreated was for the sake of the alliance army!”
What?
This shamelessness?
Thick!
Cao Yu listened with great interest. This explanation was invincible.
The other dukes were the same. Many of them even laughed disdainfully.
At this moment, Liu Bei acted as if he did not know anything and continued to speak.
"Alliance Master, it's like this. Lu Bu's bravery is indeed extraordinary.”
"However, the three of us brothers can still fight him. Today, we pretended to be defeated to disturb his mind and make Lu Bu despise him.”
"We couldn't have imagined that our warhorses would gallop as fast as lightning. That's why our plan failed and one of us was injured!”
It was perfect!
Cao Yu couldn't help but nod his head. If he were to just lie, others really wouldn't be his match.
I made this up for you.
……
According to him, all the problems were attributed to the mount.
It was not a matter of skill that the car was not good!
Awesome!
In fact, his explanation was very lame, and it didn't stand up.
However, since Yuan Shao had the intention to rope him in, he would definitely go easy on him. Thus, at this moment, he could not help but nod his head.
"I see!"
Yuan Shao stood with his hands behind his back and took a deep breath. At the same time, Liu Bei felt relieved.
Did he believe it?
"Even if that's the case, it really wasn't the fault of the three of you, but you still returned defeated today."”
"If you end your karma, you can avoid death."
"But it's hard to forgive him!"
……
That's right!
Yuan Shu, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke up.
"Alliance Master is right. No matter what the reason is, since they have been defeated, they must be dealt with according to military law.”
"But the law is nothing more than human feelings.”
Yuan Shao was stunned. What? Did he think the same thing as me?
Yuan Shao turned his head and stared at his clan brother. He did not say anything more and pretended to be deep in thought before speaking.
"The highway is right."
"The death penalty can be avoided, but the crime will not be forgiven."
"In the end, he was defeated.”
……
Thirty?
Liu Bei's mouth corners twitched as he thought,'The military punishment is a military rod. It's different than the torture of the Supreme Court.'
The purpose of questioning was to make the other party confess, but in the military camp, it was to take a person's life.
Thirty strikes didn't seem like much, but with true love on him, who would know who was in pain!
But Liu Bei endured it!
He didn't dare to bargain. If the other party turned hostile, it wouldn't be just a matter of thirty.
Because Yuan Shao had obviously gone easy on him, Liu Bei was worried that someone would raise objections, so he hurriedly thanked him and then asked,"Alliance Master, am I thirty each, or are my brothers thirty each?”
"You alone!" Yuan Shao smiled faintly.”
……
Yuan Shao went easy on them. Everyone saw it and had different thoughts in their hearts.
The one who was the most displeased was Yuan Shu.
He glared fiercely at Yuan Shao from the side. Did you take someone else's money?
Isn't this a joke?
Could he vent his hatred with thirty strikes?
No way!
Thinking of this, he was just about to speak, but Yuan Shao had already beat him to it and ordered people to drag Liu Bei out and spank him.
The helpless Yuan Shu could only shout at this moment,"Executioner! Hit him hard!"
"Let him learn his lesson!"
Yuan Shu wanted to use his position to take revenge, but the other dukes were shocked.
The three of them had also failed. What would happen after that?
Who can defeat Lu Bu?
A few of them who had small forces and weak foundations had already begun to retreat.
If it really doesn't work out, we'll still carry the child.
It didn't seem bad to live a quiet life.
The hearts of the people were shaken!
……
Just as Liu Bei was dragged out, the messenger arrived.
"Alliance Master, Lu Bu challenges!"
"He wants Cao Yu to fight!"
Cao Yu?
Or him?
Yuan Shao frowned and looked towards Cao Cao's side. Could it really be that eight year old brat?
……
It was time to show off his true skills.
Cao Yu took a deep breath. Now that Liu Guanzhang had been defeated, there probably wouldn't be anyone among the dukes to fight.
The finale was about to begin.
Under Yuan Shao's watchful gaze, Cao Yu walked out with small square steps, swaying and stuck-up.
Cao Cao was dumbfounded.
This devilish brat!
You really showed up!
Although he was shocked, it was too late for Cao Cao to stop him. Cao Yu's small steps were like a slip, arriving in front of Yuan Shao in two steps.
Cao Cao could only smile bitterly at this moment. After all, he knew that no matter how much of a bastard Yuan Shao was, he wouldn't send an eight-year-old brat into battle, right?
……
Standing in front of Yuan Shao, Cao Yu bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Alliance Master!"
"…Nephew, what do you mean?"”
Cao Yu smiled and pouted." Isn't it your intention for me to come here, Alliance Master?"”
What?
Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and black lines appeared at the corner of his brows.
I just glanced at you, alright?
Was it a scam?
But before he could speak, Cao Yu continued,"In addition, it was because I heard clearly that Lu Bu specifically asked me to fight.”
"As a member of the alliance army and the son of my father, how can I cower?”
"As the saying goes, like father, like son. Don't tell me you're afraid of Lu Bu!”
Just Cao Yu's appearance as a pretentious little adult made the dukes unable to hold back their laughter.
He only smiled bitterly.
Had the alliance army fallen to the point of letting a child fight?
……
They felt this way, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had other thoughts!
After all, they still remembered that the person who had killed Hua Xiong was none other than this devilish brat's subordinate.
Since Zhao Yun could kill Hua Xiong, he might not be a match for Lu Bu!
In a flash, Yuan Shao was endlessly resentful in his heart. Previously, he was the one who was digging into a dead end. He should have let Cao Yu step forward long ago!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao's eyes flashed, and he looked at him with a chuckle.
"Nephew, your words are really uplifting!”
"The Cao family has a son like you. It's a good word!”
"It's just that Nephew is too young and is also Meng De's son, how can he participate in the battle?”
"I think it would be better to let your generals go forward and kill Lu Bu.”
Yuan Shao's words were absolutely digging a hole! It was a sure thing.
