Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 104 If I don't save the emperor, I will have no face to live in this world

Not only did Lu Bu not go to Yuan Shao's house for the banquet.

He even refused the accommodation that Yuan Shao prepared for him.

After leaving the palace, he and Liu Bei and others returned to the camp where the escort team was stationed outside Yecheng.

Along the way, everyone had a gloomy face and there was no conversation.

As soon as he returned to the tent, Lu Bu could no longer suppress his anger and became furious.

"Yuan Shao, you old thief! You are really going too far!"

"I captured Yuan Shu and presented him the Imperial Seal. In terms of achievements, how can he compare to mine? How dare you not give up your position as the Grand General!"

"They even coerced the emperor to make a reward!"

Lu Bu cursed loudly and was so angry that his hair stood on end.

When he entered the palace today, he was full of expectations, thinking that he would be awarded the title of general, but who knew that Yuan Shao would be so shameless and refuse to give up the position!

Moreover, he saw clearly that no matter what rewards the emperor gave, he had to ask Yuan Shao's opinion. Even if he was stupid, he knew that Yuan Shao was coercing the emperor, and the emperor could not make any decision on his own!
So it seems that the emperor is rewarding everyone, but in fact all the rewards are decided by Yuan Shao alone!
Zhang Fei now had a very good impression of Lu Bu, and he stood on the same front with him, cursing, "Yuan Shao, the old villain, is really shameless! He gave my elder brother a Tinghou and a shitty Jingzhou governor to get rid of him. This is clearly a slap in the face and a sweet date. He has no good intentions!"

If Guan Yu hadn't held him tightly in the court just now, he would have rushed up and scolded Yuan Shao to death!

Liu Bei looked very unhappy, and said with a face full of sorrow: "The emperor is in decline, and even the rewards are not up to him. He was actually bullied by Yuan Shao. If the emperor humiliates the minister, he will die. If we don't save the emperor, how can we, the ministers of Han, live in this world with dignity!"

Today in the hall, Liu Xie carefully asked Yuan Shao how to reward him. He was very distressed when he saw it. If he had not been rational, he would have drawn his sword and killed him on the spot.

In comparison, some of his rewards were simply insignificant.

"Brother, why don't you let me and my second brother sneak into the palace and secretly rescue the emperor?"

Zhang Fei clenched his fists, feeling indignant.

The emperor that day called him "big brother" and "uncle".

Now that his eldest brother and nephew are in trouble, how can he just sit there and do nothing?

"Yecheng is Yuan Shao's base camp. How can we allow you two to come and go freely with the emperor?"

Liu Bei directly rejected Zhang Fei's proposal.

Lu Bu gnashed his teeth and said, "How about I pretend to attend the banquet, and then when I get to Yuan Shao's house, I will take up my Fang Tian Hua Ji and cut that old villain into pieces!"

He was angry that Yuan Shao would not give up his position as general.

He was also annoyed that the emperor was under the control of Yuan Shao.

The emperor trusted him and cared about him so much. As a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, how could he not share the emperor's worries?

"No! It's easy to kill Yuan Shao, but it's hard to save Your Majesty." Liu Bei quickly stopped Lu Bu who was about to make a move.

"Yuan Shao is not like Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shao's power is not because of himself, but because of the Yuan family and the power behind him. Even if Yuan Shao dies, his advisers and generals are still here, and he has descendants who can inherit everything he has."

"Even if you kill Yuan Shao, we won't be able to rescue His Majesty from the palace. It will even make His Majesty's situation even more embarrassing."

How difficult is it to kill Yuan Shao?

Just now in the court, no matter whether it was Lu Bu, Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, any one of them could easily chop off his head.

Even if Yan Liang and Wen Chou were present, they would not be able to stop it.

But the problem is that killing Yuan Shao will not change the emperor's situation.

After Yuan Shao's death, his son will inherit his power, and the emperor will still be under control, and his situation will not change at all.

They also had no way to take the emperor out of the city from Yuan Shao’s base camp, and would instead lose their own lives.

"This really makes me angry!" Lu Bu's eyes were wide open, he was furious and helpless.

He knew that what Liu Bei said was right, but he was very unwilling to accept it.

This time, he escorted Yuan Shu to Yecheng with only a thousand soldiers and horses. His powerful generals, such as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, were guarding the major cities in Xuzhou and Yangzhou. Even Chen Gong stayed in Shouchun.

If he had known this, he should have brought tens of thousands of soldiers with him.

Directly break through Ye City, cut off Yuan Shao's head and let him go with Yuan Shu.

Liu Bei added: "The reason why Yuan Shao is so powerful is that he occupies the three states of Bingzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou, and he also has the reputation of the Yuan family, which has three officials in four generations." "We are unable to save Your Majesty from the predicament at the moment, so we can only develop slowly and defeat Yuan Shao in the future."

"Now that we have occupied Shouchun and part of Yangzhou, as long as we drive Cao Cao and Sun Ce out of Yangzhou, we will have the two states. Then, with Xuzhou and Yangzhou as the base, we can annex Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and great things will be accomplished!"

Liu Bei has his own analysis and understanding of the current situation.

This time, Lu Bu defeated Yuan Shu and presented the imperial seal to the emperor, which greatly earned him a wave of fame; as long as he could capture Yangzhou, he would have two states as his foundation.

It is possible that in the future it will grow strong enough to fight against Yuan Shao!

"Alas, this general knows all of this."

After listening to this, Lu Bu sighed and said gloomily, "It's just hard for your majesty. You have to rely on Yuan Shao all the time and act according to his mood."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't stop sighing.

After a long while, Lu Bu suddenly stood up and said with a firm face: "This general will go to the palace to meet your majesty and tell your majesty my plan. Only in this way can your majesty be at ease!"

Five years ago, he abandoned the emperor in Chang'an and fled.

Later, the emperor returned to Luoyang and asked him for help, but his troops were weak and food supplies were scarce, so he did not go to rescue.

The emperor was in trouble. He escaped from Cao thief and met Yuan thief again.

Now that he has a strong army and horses, he does not want to abandon the emperor as he did before.

Even if he cannot save the emperor at the moment, he must let the emperor know that he is not an erratic villain!

He, Lu Bu, is also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!
"This general will be back soon!"

Lu Bu felt his blood boiling all over his body. He walked out of the tent and hurried towards Yecheng.

Liu, Guan and Zhang looked at each other in bewilderment as they looked at Lu Bu's back.

Guan Yu asked with some concern: "Brother, nothing will go wrong, right?"

"Probably not." Liu Bei was also a little unsure, "Even if Yuan Shao hated Fengxian to death, he would not attack him in Yecheng."

……

Yuan Mansion.

After Yuan Shao and his advisers and generals returned, they engaged in a heated discussion.

"Lu Bu is arrogant and looks down on everyone. He doesn't take our lord seriously at all. We must teach him a lesson!" Chunyu Qiong's face was full of anger.

Today, Lu Bu not only rejected Yuan Shao's goodwill, but also did not give him any face at all. Every move he made was simply an insult!

Even if Yuan Shao could tolerate the humiliation of the king, he could not.

Upon hearing this, Ju Su glanced at him and said calmly, "How do you teach him a lesson? Do you plan to lead your troops to surround his camp, or do you plan to fight him one-on-one?"

"If it's the former, then you've made my lord a person who is jealous of his meritorious officials. If it's the latter... I don't know if General Chunyu is as brave as Lu Bu."

Ju Su never liked Chunyu Qiong, thinking that he often ruined his plans.

It would be fine if he didn't see him on weekdays, but since the other party was present today, he would definitely fight back.

Chun Yuqiong's face flushed red, and he retorted: "As a subject, can I only watch my lord being humiliated? If you have the ability, you can come up with a good idea!"

Ju Su's expression was calm. "Only a warrior like you would care about the temporary loss of face. My lord, you are so broad-minded. How could you lower your status to fight with Lu Bu just because of his rudeness?"

This sentence praised Yuan Shao and prevented him from doing anything to Lu Bu at this time.

By the way, he also stepped on Chunyu Qiong.

Seeing that Chunyu Qiong's face was about to turn purple, Yuan Shao finally spoke.

"Why do you think Lu Bu rejected my kindness?"

At the beginning, Lu Bu was eager to join him, but he just looked down on him.

Now, not only did they ignore his goodwill, they even harbored obvious hostility towards him.

Could it be that it was because I rejected his offer of service back then that he became angry and ashamed when he faced me again?
