In the hall, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang no longer had their former pride. Even facing Yuan Shu, who was described as unworthy by Yuan Shao, the three brothers felt nervous at this moment.

As the eldest brother, Yuan Tan took a deep breath, faced Yuan Shu's scrutinizing gaze, took out the letter with gritted teeth, and walked out slowly.

"uncle"

"Ok?"

As soon as Yuan Tan opened his mouth, before he could even utter the word "father" in "uncle", Yuan Shu's brows knitted together, and his scrutinizing eyes became sharp, as if a steel knife was about to pierce his heart.

Yuan Tan was sweating profusely, and his voice became intermittent.

Yuan Shang gritted his teeth, walked to Yuan Tan's side, and said with all his strength: "General, we have heard that your reputation has shocked the world. We have come to see you with a letter entrusted by Ju Biejia!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Yuan Shang's words startled Yuan Tan. He reacted immediately and nodded in agreement.

Yuan Shu's frown relaxed, and he waved to the servant beside him, "It turns out to be a letter from Ju Biejia. Quick, bring it to me."

"Yes." The servant took two steps at a time and walked quickly to Yuan Tan, took the letter and handed it to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu opened the letter, originally intending only to take a quick look at it to see what Ju Su had to say.

After all, the fact that he went from occupying Jizhou to fleeing to Qingzhou in a panic was enough to show that Ju Shou was not as powerful as the rumors said.

You don’t know until you see it. Once you see it, Yuan Shu was really shocked.

His eyes widened in disbelief, and his hands began to tremble slightly.

The three brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were all very nervous. After all, the letter contained Ju Shou's lies. They were afraid that Yuan Shu would see through Ju Shou's words and thus turn against him.

Fortunately, Yuan Shu did not do as the three brothers thought. Yuan Shu waved to the generals and counselors beside him.

The officers and counsellors immediately understood what he meant and gathered behind Yuan Shu to take a look at the real appearance of the letter.

"What do you think of what Ju Beijia said?" Yuan Shu asked with a serious face.

The counselors who saw the contents of the letter were all shocked.

What was written in the letter?
It was said that Jia Xu not only used the emperor and the emperor's uncle to control the ministers, but was also so cruel as to distribute the family teachings of various ethnic groups to the soldiers!

Isn't this equivalent to digging up the roots of the gentry?
Jia Wenhe is indeed guilty of heinous crimes and is unforgivable!
As for the advice given in the letter, asking Yuan Shu to unite with Huainan and even various noble families to purge the emperor's side, the counselors felt that it was right, absolutely right.

Compared to these, the praises in the letter about Yuan Shu being a hero who would clear the world seem mediocre.

The soldiers showed worry on their brows. Let Jia Xu hold the emperor and the emperor's uncle hostage, and let them make a fortune.

As long as it doesn't get in their way, it's fine. Do you think your life is not long enough to fight with Guan Yu and Huang Zhong for this matter?

However, Lu Bu had different ideas. Well, Jia Wenhe did a good job!

In this way, wouldn't people like him have a chance to be promoted? Wouldn't they no longer have to look at the bad looks of the nobles? !
Therefore, although Lu Bu was keenly aware of Yuan Shu's intention to support him, he was also prepared to express his opposition.

"Snapped"

At this moment, Lu Bu felt his foot kicked by someone next to him, and he immediately became furious.

But when he turned his head, his anger was instantly extinguished.

The person who kicked him turned out to be Mi Fang.

His eyes darkened and he couldn't help but think about Mi Fang's intention.

Mi Fang would definitely not kick him for no reason. Could it be that Mi Fang meant to tell him not to go against Yuan Shu?
But isn't it also a big threat to the court if Yuan Shu integrates the power of the gentry?
During this period of hesitation, both the counselors and the soldiers gave different opinions.

The number of people supporting and opposing each accounted for half.

"Fengxian, what do you think?" Yuan Shu asked with a smile.

Based on Lu Bu's understanding of Yuan Shu, if he dared to say no, Yuan Shu would definitely turn against him.

Under Mi Fang's suggestive gaze, the silent Lu Bu recalled Mi Fang's previous words. "Yuan Shu? He is just a dead body in a tomb. There is nothing to fear."

For the current court, it is only a matter of time before Yuan Shu takes over.

Even if he offered Yuan Shu's head at this moment, it would be hard to say that he had made outstanding contributions.

What if Yuan Shu united with the nobles? What if Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor? What if, under these circumstances, he beheaded Yuan Shu?
Just thinking about it made Lu Bu so excited that every inch of his skin trembled.

“Fengxian?!”

Yuan Shu's somewhat unhappy tone startled Lu Bu, who immediately clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations, brother. Congratulations, brother."

"Hmm?" Yuan Shu was a little confused by Lu Bu's congratulations. He couldn't even keep the dissatisfaction on his face. He wondered, "Why are you so happy?"

"."

Lu Bu opened his mouth but hesitated to speak. This action made Yuan Shu really itchy.

He wanted to urge Lu Bu to tell him what was on his mind, but he saw Lu Bu looking around and then put his head close to his ear.

"Brother, I think with your ability, it is not worth it to just unite the nobles."

"Not worth it? What's the worthwhile way?"

"Brother, Jia Wenhe is spreading the family knowledge. This is an evil plot to dig up the roots! It will definitely cause displeasure among the nobles of the world. If you raise your arms and call for action at this time to show your destiny, won't the nobles help you?"

"This"

Yuan Shu's eyes widened and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

The destiny that Lu Bu mentioned, doesn’t he have the destiny in his heart?

If the imperial seal, which symbolizes the imperial power, is not the Mandate of Heaven, then what else can be the Mandate of Heaven? !
It just so happened that Qingzhou had Ju Shou to hold back Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei, and he also had the support of the gentry. If not now, when would he become emperor!
The one who replaced the Han Dynasty was Dangtu Gao!

Yuan Shu's breathing became more and more rapid. If it weren't for his wise counselors and generals in front of him, he would have laughed out loud towards the sky. He was only one step away from achieving his ambition!

Wait a minute
Yuan Shu suddenly remembered something. He stared into Lu Bu's eyes and said, "One word from Fengxian is worth ten years of reading! Fengxian, what is the reward you want?"

"I" Lu Bu said somewhat embarrassedly: "I want to be a marquis."

"Hahaha!" Yuan Shu patted Lu Bu on the shoulder, "Fengxian is a loyal and honest man!"

"what?"

Not only the counselors and generals, but even Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were a little confused. What exactly did Yuan Shu say to Lu Bu?
Yuan Shu did not give the others much time to think about it. He smiled at Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang and said, "Tan'er, Xi'er, Shang'er, I agree to this!"

"!"

The three of them looked at each other, and saw a look of surprise on each other's faces.

Yuan Gonglu actually.actually agreed?
The three of them just thought that there was something wrong with their ears. Yuan Shu’s attitude before was not very good, so why did he address them so intimately now?

It was not until the generals and soldiers shouted "Mr. Yuan, please think twice!" that Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang came to their senses and realized that they had not heard wrongly!

As for why Yuan Shu made up his mind
Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang all looked at Lu Bu at the same time, a hint of gratitude emerging from their originally complicated gazes.

It is said that Jia Wenhe has many evil schemes. It seems that General Lu was forced to surrender to Yuan Gonglu because his way of survival was cut off.

Otherwise, how can we explain Yuan Gonglu calling General Lu a loyal and honest man?

Otherwise, how can we explain the huge change in Yuan Gonglu's attitude?
It is very likely that it was General Lu’s persuasion.

"?"

Lu Bu glanced around and saw the grateful expressions on Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's faces, and was completely confused.

Could it be that Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang thought that they agreed because of me, Yuan Gonglu?

Whatever, even if I think this way, what can I do? It has nothing to do with me, so why should I care?
Lu Bu didn't say much.

Of course, Yuan Shu did not allow Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang to have too much contact with his counselors and generals. He waved his hand and shouted, "Come on, prepare the guest rooms so that my three adopted sons can have a good rest!"

Even though Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were unwilling, they had to bow and thank their uncle, then followed the guards out of the hall and went to the guest room.

After letting the three brothers leave, Yuan Shu threw down three words, "Conference room." The counselors and generals were slightly stunned. Whenever Yuan Shu said these three words, something big would happen.

Soon, the officers and officials of Huainan gathered in the meeting hall.

Facing the courtiers, Yuan Shu said frankly: "Jia Wenhe is cruel and merciless. He persecutes the nobles, suppresses the courtiers, and uses the emperor to control the courtiers. He is really hateful! I want to raise an army, march straight into Chang'an, and spread justice to the world!"

"?"

All the officials were silent. Wasn't Jia Xu in Jizhou? Why did they attack Chang'an?

To extend justice to the world?

Isn't this what Wang Mang did? !

After saying this, Yuan Shu clapped his hands, and the messengers who had been preparing for a long time began to read Ju Su's letter.

Ju Su's letter demonstrated from various aspects the persecution of the gentry by the court controlled by Jia Xu, such as letting Gongsun Zan take a group of gentry to Liaodong to die, and even distributing land to the common people. His intentions were so sinister that it made people tremble with fear.

People from the aristocratic families were all filled with righteous indignation and cursed Jia Xu.

The warriors were worried. They advised, "Mr. Yuan, Guan Yu, Zhang Yide and Huang Hansheng are all capable of fighting against ten thousand men. We can never defeat them!"

Yuan Shu curled his lips, "Guan Yu, Zhang Yide and Cao Mengde are all in Qingzhou, what do I have to fear? Could it be that Guan Yu, Zhang Yide and Cao Mengde can capture Qingzhou so quickly? Take this opportunity to attack Jizhou in the north first, and then join forces with Ju Biejia, so that Guan Yu and Zhang Yide will not be able to take care of both ends!"

Seeing that the warriors wanted to say something, Yuan Shu frowned and made a promise with some displeasure, "When the matter is accomplished, you will all be made marquises, marquises!"

As soon as the word "conferred marquis" was uttered, the voices of opposition suddenly decreased a lot, and at the same time many people became active.

Someone in the meeting room shouted, "The one who will replace the Han Dynasty is Dang Tu Gao! The throne of the emperor can be obtained by Yuan Gong!"

"!" Yuan Shu's face suddenly changed. He shouted angrily: "I am a Han official. I should be loyal to the emperor and the country. How can I do what Wang Mang did? Don't mention this matter anymore!"

Yuan Shu waved his sleeves, turned around and left angrily.

However, everyone clearly saw a smile on Yuan Shu's lips.

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly. Yuan Gonglu was going to refuse and give in three times.

He just felt troubled.

Fortunately, whenever he encountered a problem that bothered him, Lu Bu would go and ask Mi Fang.

"Military Advisor Mi, what was my reaction in the hall just now?"

“Just right.”

In Lu Bu's mansion, Lu Bu and Mi Fang sat opposite each other around a table and smiled at each other.

However, the cheerful atmosphere became solemn with Lu Bu's next words.

"Military Advisor, Yuan Gonglu wants to be emperor, but he is too hasty. I think if Yuan Gonglu really spreads the rumors about Ju Gongyu throughout Yangzhou, it will probably put the court in a difficult position. Even if Yuan Gonglu is killed, it may not be so easy to calm the situation in Huainan. Military Advisor Mi, do you have any good ideas?"

"Great plan." Mi Fang thought for a moment and said, "General Lu, I have a plan."

Lu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with interest: "Oh? Tell me about it."

"It's better to take the initiative."

"Take the initiative. How do you take the initiative?"

"The emperor's robe is on my body."

Mi Fang uttered four words lightly, which really scared Lu Bu.

"Mi Military Advisor, the imperial robe. Did I hear correctly? Not to mention that it is too presumptuous, where can you find the imperial robe now?"

"Of course it's in Yuan Gonglu's mansion."

"Yuan Gonglu?" Lu Bu showed surprise. If it was someone else, he would definitely suspect that the other party was deceiving him. But if it was Mi Fang, he believed that Mi Fang would never make a fuss.

He straightened his posture and asked seriously: "Military Advisor Mi, please tell me in detail!"

Following Mi Fang's narration, Lu Bu finally figured out the reason for the incident. It turned out that Mi Fang bribed the servants in Yuan Shu's mansion and brought in thieves. However, what Lu Bu didn't know was that although the thieves were called thieves, they were actually Chen Deng's assassins.

After several days of hiding behind the scenes, the thief finally discovered Yuan Shu's secret.

Yuan Shu liked to take out the imperial robe when no one was around, which showed that he had planned to become emperor long ago.

"So that's how it is. Should we let the thief steal the imperial robe and then take the opportunity to put it on Yuan Gonglu in public?"

Unexpectedly, Mi Fang shook his head and said, "No, it's not us."

"If not us? Then who else could it be?" Lu Bu really couldn't think of who else it could be.

Mi Fang uttered a name, "Qin Yi."

"Qin Yi." Lu Bu thought thoughtfully.

The next day.

Qin Yi, who had received Yuan Shu's order to set out for the mansion, murmured to himself, "Today, Lord Yuan is going to review the three armies, but he happened to leave a precious sword behind and asked me to go get it. What kind of sword is it that Lord Yuan values ​​so much?"

Qin Yi quickly arrived at Yuan Shu's mansion, and under the guidance of the servants, he came to a door.

Thinking of the anxiety that Yuan Shu had conveyed, Qin Yi hurriedly drove the servant away.

Seeing that there was no one around, he dared to push the door and leave with confidence.

When he saw the objects on the table clearly, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his breathing seemed to stop at this moment.

“That’s the royal robe.”

Qin Yi was in a trance, his Adam's apple moved uncontrollably, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Lord Yuan actually asked me to come and get the imperial robe?!
In a trance, Qin Yi was already standing in front of the table. He lifted the imperial robe tremblingly, and even his pupils were trembling.

Yuan Shu asked him to come and get the imperial robe.
The meaning is self-evident, isn't it to declare oneself emperor in front of the three armies? !

Then he appointed the generals to high positions. Even if there were voices of opposition, the matter was already settled!

And he, the confidant who personally helped Yuan Shu get the imperial robe, shouldn't he be directly granted the title of nobility? !
Thinking of this, Qin Yi gradually calmed down. He said inwardly: No, we can't delay any longer. If we delay, something might happen. Here I come, Mr. Yuan!

As for the sword, Qin Yi had long since put it behind his mind and forgotten it completely.

"Why hasn't Qin Yi come yet?" Yuan Shu frowned and gritted his teeth, "Damn it, he actually forgot to take the sword. How can I motivate the soldiers?"

Just when Yuan Shu was extremely anxious, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

"Mr. Yuan, here I come!"

"call."

Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief. It’s good that you’re here. It’s good that you’re here.

Yuan Shu looked at Qin Yi and was about to reach out to Qin Yi to take the sword.

However, something unexpected happened. Qin Yi quickly untied the bag, took out a piece of clothing and put it on Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was furious. What on earth was Qin Yi doing?

Just when Yuan Shu was about to yell at Qin Yi, the previously noisy training ground suddenly became quiet.

Even the loyal and honest Lu Bu was staring at him.

Yuan Shu's head was buzzing, and ten thousand question marks seemed to appear on his forehead. What on earth had happened?
Just as Yuan Shu lowered his head in a daze, Qin Yi said respectfully: "The mandate of heaven is with Yuan Shu. I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Only then did Yuan Shu realize what the clothes on his body were - they were imperial robes!

Yuan Shu's face suddenly changed. He wanted to cry but had no tears. At the same time, he said in a complicated tone, "You have caused me so much trouble."
