After Cao Chun left with Yuan Shu, Lu Bu did not stay any longer. He cupped his hands at Liu Bei and led his troops back to Xiapi.
Now that Shouchun had fallen, there was no need for him to continue to station his troops outside Xiaopei City and block Liu Bei from leaving.
Only Liu Bei stood rooted to the ground, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Now that the world was in chaos, all the vassals were fighting.
Yuan Shu was like this.
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Sun Ce…Who wasn't like this?
However, these people all had a foothold.
Only he was now living in Xiao Pei and was restricted everywhere.
It was easier said than done to help the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
Yuan Shu was right.
Cao Cao's ambition was to rule the world.
Now that they had taken Yangzhou, their next step would probably be to attack Xuzhou.
If Xu fell into Cao Cao's hands, where would he go?
At this moment.
Liu Bei really wanted someone by his side to point him in the right direction.
The road ahead was uncertain, and everything was still unknown.
He missed Su Ran a little.
Why was she so obsessed back then and allowed her third brother to drive Su Ran away?
However, he also understood that even if his third brother did not vent his anger, he did not care much about Su Ran.
If you want to blame someone, blame Xu Shao's monthly review and Sima Wei's comments.
Misleading the students.
Liu Bei sighed deeply.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
Zhang Fei, who was beside Liu Bei, couldn't help but ask with concern.
"It's fine. Go back."
Liu Bei waved his hand.
He rode away.
"Big brother, there seems to be something on your mind." Guan Yu frowned.
"An also felt it, but big brother didn't want to say it, so An couldn't ask.”Zhang Fei said in a muffled voice.
He looked rough, but he also had a meticulous side.
"Forget it, let's go back to Xiao Pei first." Guan Yu shook his head and chased after Liu Bei.
"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, wait for me."
Zhang Fei also followed.
The shadows of the three of them were stretched long under the setting sun.
On the other side.
Lu Bu led his troops back to Xiapi. After less than half a day of marching, he saw that it was already late at night. He ordered the army to rest in place and continue on their journey the next morning.
Before he could rest, he saw Chen Gong rushing over.
"Mister, didn't you stay behind to guard Xiapi? Why did he come here? Did something happen in the city?”Lu Bu asked in surprise when he saw Chen Gong.
"Xiapi is fine."
Chen Gong waved his hand, grabbed the teapot, and drank a large mouthful of water. Then, he looked at Lu Bu and asked," Fengxian, let me ask you. Did Cao Chun lead his troops into Xuzhou and capture Yuan Shu?”
"Not bad." Lu Bu nodded.
"Then did you stop him?"
"Sir, what are you saying?" Lu Bu shook his head in surprise and said," Yuan Shu is a traitor of the Great Han Dynasty. Cao Cao has come to kill the traitor under the orders of the Emperor. How can I stop him?"”
"Aiya!"
Hearing this.
Chen Gong patted his leg heavily and said uneasily," That's bad.”
"Hmm?"
Lu Bu was stunned. He asked with a puzzled expression," What does Sir mean by this? Don't tell me you want me to save Yuan Shu?”
"Of course we can't save Yuan Shu, but you can't just watch him get captured by the Cao army.”
"Why?"
"When Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Huai and his family, he was forced to abandon the city and move the capital to Chang 'an. Do you think it was just because of the 18 dukes?”
Chen Gong's expression was solemn as he said," It's also because the Yuan family has four generations and three dukes.”
"Dong Zhuo killed the wrong person. He couldn't bear the consequences of killing Yuan Huai, so he could only move the capital!”
Lu Bu's expression changed slightly, but he didn't think much of it.""So what? Yuan Shu didn't die in my hands.”
"It was Cao Cao who offended the Yuan Clan, what does it have to do with me?”
"Fengxian, don't you understand?”Chen Gong glared at Lu Bu in disappointment and said bluntly," Although Yuan Shu usurped the Han Dynasty and became independent, he is still a member of the Yuan family. He can't kill just anyone. Cao Cao has the Son of Heaven in his hands. He can kill him in the name of the Son of Heaven. Not to mention the people of the world, even the Yuan family can't say no.”
"If Cao Cao had killed Yuan Shu in Shouchun, then everyone would have been happy and it had nothing to do with you.”
"The bad thing is that Yuan Shu fled to Xuzhou and was captured by Cao Cao's army.”
"With the Yuan Clan's reputation, they won't blame Cao Cao, but they will definitely implicate you.”
"Right now, Yuan Shao is attacking Youzhou. Once he defeats Gongsun Zan, he will occupy Qingyou and the four prefectures of Ji, becoming the number one duke in the world.”
"Moreover, Yuan Shao has always paid attention to his reputation. If this matter reaches his ears, he will definitely hate you.”
"In addition, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will definitely have a life and death battle. In order to eliminate future troubles, Cao Cao will definitely take Xu Prefecture within two years.”
"As for you, you have become a thorn in the side of the two great dukes at the same time. In this world, where is there still a place for you?”
The more Chen Gong spoke, the angrier he got. He pointed at Lu Bu's nose and scolded," I originally planned to use the opportunity when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were fighting to let you gain benefits from both sides and wait for an opportunity to rise up.”
"But after this incident, all our plans were destroyed.”
"Fengxian, when will you use your brain and understand something?”
"You really don't understand, but before you do anything, you can send someone to ask me before making a decision.”
"Hey!"
Chen Gong sighed.
Lu Bu's face twitched as he was infuriated by Chen Gong's accusation.
Although he felt that Chen Gong was right, he was the master and Chen Gong was the subject. Such an unceremonious accusation, did he still have him in his eyes?
He wanted to be angry and give Chen Gong a look, but when he thought about how he would have to rely on Chen Gong in the future, he could only suppress his anger and say coldly,"Then what should we do now?"
"The mistake has been made. What else can we do?”Chen Gong said coldly.
"Sir!" Lu Bu could only give in and shout at Chen Gong.
However, Chen Gong was unmoved.
Seeing this, Lu Bu was even more furious.
However, for the sake of the future, he could only endure it and bow solemnly."Sir, I know my mistake. Please teach me!”
Chen Gong's attitude softened.
He looked at Lu Bu and said," Bring the seal of the Prefecture Overseer and send it to Xiaopei. Give it to Liu Bei. Let Liu Bei be the Prefecture Overseer of Xuzhou, but he will still be stationed in Xiaopei."”
"Ah?" Lu Bu was once again stunned. What did this mean?
"Liu Bei is the herdsman of Xu Prefecture. Yuan Shu was captured by Cao Cao's army in Xu Prefecture. If Yuan Shao wants to blame someone, he can only blame Liu Bei. At least in name, you can stand firm. In the future, there will be much room for reconciliation between you and Yuan Shao.”said Chen Gong.
"For a mere name, you have to do this. Why do you have to do this?”Lu Bu was somewhat unwilling.
The seal was related to the land of a prefecture. Now that he had Xu Prefecture, he naturally could not bear to give it away easily.
"If your name isn't right, then your words won't go smoothly. Sometimes, your name can also turn into a sharp sword to kill. Fengxian, if you want to live, you'd better listen to me.”
Chen Gong said helplessly," Besides, it's just a piece of jade. It's useless. Even if Liu Bei gets it, it's useless. With his few men, he won't be able to cause any trouble. Xu Prefecture will still be in your hands."”
"Think about it, Yuan Shu claimed to be the emperor after obtaining the jade seal, but is he really the emperor?”
"Whoever has soldiers in their hands can wield power.”
Lu Bu was finally persuaded." In that case, I'll listen to you."”
"That's for the best."
Chen Gong nodded in satisfaction and continued," Fengxian, if you have any problems in the future, don't make any decisions on your own. You should come to me more often. Do you understand?"”
Lu Bu's anger, which had just subsided, rose again, but he still cupped his hands unwillingly and said,""Got it."
"Alright, rest well."
Chen Gong turned around and walked out.
Lu Bu's expression darkened as he watched Chen Gong leave.
"Chen Gongtai!"
Bang!
He punched a hole in the document in front of him!
