Can I get to the other side?

While Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were fighting fiercely in Yicheng, Lu Bu was hosting a banquet in the governor's mansion of Runan County.

Today was the happy day for his daughter to enter the palace.

"Everyone, don't go home until you are drunk today!"

Lu Bu raised a bowl of wine and said to the guests present.

The joy on his face could not be concealed at all.

"Mr. Wen, congratulations!"

"Before entering the palace, she was canonized as a noble lady, and her status is second only to the queen!"

"If I were to say, Queen Fu is now in the pseudo-imperial palace in Xu County. Why doesn't Your Majesty depose the queen and re-establish her?"

"Don't say this casually, be careful, be careful!"

All the guests, especially the military generals, were happy for Lu Bu.

They also felt the emperor's favor to their generals and felt proud of it.

There was even a big and strong man who muttered about deposing the queen.

Lu Bu was happy when he heard it, but for the sake of the emperor's reputation, he still scolded him.

Chen Gong, who was sitting below Lu Bu, offered Lu Bu a bowl of wine, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"General, you have been hiding this from me for a long time. You have never told me about such a big thing as conferring a noble lady."

Chen Gong felt that he needed to have a new understanding of Lu Bu.

He could even keep such a big thing as his daughter's entry into the palace in his heart.

This was completely different from his previous impression of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu laughed, drank the wine in the bowl, and said proudly: "What is a noble lady? If this general said..."

"Cough cough cough!!"

When Lu Bu was halfway through his words, Liu Bei, who was sitting on the other side of him, kept coughing and forcibly interrupted him.

"Xuan De, why are you coughing so badly?"

Lu Bu didn't understand why, and asked Liu Bei with concern.

"No problem. I just came here yesterday at night and caught a cold."

Liu Bei said while secretly winking at Lu Bu.

However, after a long time, Lu Bu didn't understand what he meant. He just stared at him blankly, thinking that his eyes were uncomfortable from coughing.

Chen Gong noticed this scene and immediately understood it.

No wonder Lu Bu could hide his thoughts for so long.

No wonder he didn't agree with someone who was talking about abolishing the queen, but scolded him instead!

Combined with the fact that Liu Bei interrupted him halfway through his words.

Chen Gong had already guessed that the nobleman might not be the end of Lu Lingqi.

He was surprised and happy.

"General, it's time to drink for such a happy event!"

Chen Gong took the initiative to reveal what Lu Bu had not finished saying, and his eyes were full of joy.

If it was really as he guessed...

"Yes, it's time to drink!"

Liu Bei glanced at Chen Gong and happened to meet Chen Gong's gaze.

The two of them tacitly didn't say anything else, just toasted Lu Bu.

"Hey, today I will drink you all down!"

Lv Bu said with great pride, not knowing that Liu Bei and Chen Gong had reached a tacit understanding in secret.

When the banquet was halfway through, a guard hurried in.

"General, the envoy sent by Sun Ce is outside the mansion to ask for an audience."

"Sun Ce's envoy?" Lu Bu put down his bowl and chopsticks, frowned and looked at Chen Gong, "Gongtai, Sun Ce sent an envoy to the door at this time, what is his purpose?"

Chen Gong stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and said: "Maybe he came to make friends with the general."

Lv Bu heard this, slapped his palm on the table, and said angrily: "Sun Ce is ambitious, sooner or later I will capture him alive and present him to Your Majesty, how dare he make friends with me?"

In his heart, Sun Ce is a rebel, and he is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

There is a natural opposition between the two.

If this thief is not eliminated, won't he leave a disaster for his grandson in the future!

If it weren't for the instructions from the emperor, and Chen Gong's constant reminders, he would have led his troops to attack Jiangdong by now.

"Kick the envoy out!" Lu Bu conveyed the order coldly.

The guard who reported the order received the order and was about to go down, but was stopped by Chen Gong.

"General, why not listen to the envoy and tell us what Sun Ce wants?"

Lu Bu didn't want to offend Chen Gong, so he waved his hand impatiently: "Bring him over."

Not long after, Sun Ce's envoy was brought to the banquet.

"Meet Wen Hou."

The envoy's etiquette was in place.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Liao was furious.

"My general captured Yuan Shu and made great contributions. The emperor personally conferred him the title of Wenxian Duke. You actually called yourself Wen Hou!"

Gao Shun and other generals under Lu Bu's command also glared at the envoy.

What does it mean to call yourself Wen Hou? Are you coming here to provoke me?

Seeing this, the envoy thought it was not good and quickly changed his words: "It was a slip of the tongue. I hope Lord Wen will forgive me."

Lv Bu's Lord Wen was conferred by an emperor whose authenticity is unknown, and his authority remains to be examined.

Therefore, apart from the princes close to Yuan Shao, not many people really recognize him.

"Humph!"

Zhang Liao snorted coldly and retreated behind Lu Bu.

Lv Bu glanced at Sun Ce's envoy, cut off a piece of mutton slowly and threw it into his mouth. After chewing a few mouthfuls and swallowing it into his stomach, he slowly said:

"What is the purpose of Sun Ce's envoy?"

The envoy said respectfully: "My master heard that Lord Wen has a daughter who is still waiting to be named in the boudoir, and wants to marry Lord Wen."

After the voice fell, the whole county governor's mansion was silent.

The guests at the banquet looked at the envoy with playful eyes, waiting for Lu Bu's thunderous anger.

Sure enough, Lu Bu slammed the table and stood up, staring at Sun Ce's envoy.

"How can a tiger girl marry a dog boy!"

"Someone, get out of here!"

Before the messenger could react, he was carried out by several guards.

He resisted vigorously and shouted: "Mr. Wen, my lord comes here with good intentions. What are you doing? Why don't you let me say a few more words?"

Lu Bu cursed loudly: "Sun Jian secretly kept the national jade seal, and he had long been disobedient. Yuan Thief even arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor! Sun Ce's son is Sun Jian's son, and Yuan Thief's adopted son, how can he live in the world? He will not You are willing to die to apologize and refuse to obey the emperor's edict, which shows that the wolf's ambition is obvious. I have nothing to say to you, the traitorous messenger!"

The envoy was immediately anxious. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had given them many warnings before coming, and he also knew the importance of this trip.

But Lu Bu doesn't play according to the routine!

As soon as he said his intention, he was thrown out.

He even branded Sun Ce as a rebel!

After the messenger was forked out, there was a lot of curses on the scene.

"Sun Ce, my son, wants to marry Duke Wen's daughter. You really don't know how high the sky is!"

"The traitors who do not respect the emperor have a way to kill themselves, and sooner or later Jiangdong will be wiped out."

"Hmph! There are just dead bones in the grave, but you still dare to have wishful thinking!"

"Families with these two surnames... Ahem, this traitor has a good plan. How did he know that our general's daughter is going to enter the palace and become a noble."

Lu Bu sat down angrily and took a few gulps of wine.

Who is his daughter?

His daughter is the future queen!

Sun Ce sent an envoy to ask for marriage, which was a humiliation for him.

"Gongtai, when will we send troops to conquer Jiangdong?"

Chen Gong heard this and thought for a long time before replying: "Sun Ce is powerful and must not be underestimated. Before the five counties of Yangzhou are completely digested and taken over, no war can be initiated without permission."

"The general only needs two years to cultivate and recuperate. During this period, he will strengthen his troops. After two years, he will be able to conquer Jiangdong."

When he heard that he had to recuperate for two years, Lu Bu instantly became weak.

Then I no longer had the mood to eat.

Liu Bei took this opportunity to drag him to the study room of the governor's mansion to talk alone.

"Fengxian, I have good news for you. Why don't you take a guess?"

In the study room of the governor's mansion, Liu Bei had a smile on his face, and it was rare for him to get along with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu blinked, but there was no clue at all. How could he guess?

He tentatively said: "Liu Biao replied to your letter and was willing to give up Jingzhou to you?"

When Liu Bei heard this, the smile on his face froze.

Some time ago, he wrote a letter to Liu Biao, wanting to explore Liu Biao's tone and attitude.

As expected, Liu Biao ignored him at all.

If he really dared to go to Jingzhou to take up his post, he would probably have his brains knocked out by Liu Biao.

"Mi Zhu came back from Yecheng the day before yesterday and brought news from His Majesty."

"It is reported that Zhen has decided to secretly surrender to His Majesty."

"With Zhen's financial resources, we can get the money, food, and even weapons and armor that Fengxian needs."

Hearing this, Lu Bu suddenly stood up and grabbed Liu Bei's hands tightly.

"Seriously? Xuande, please don't try to trick me!"

When he spoke, his voice trembled.

Since Dong Zhuo's death, he had been short of silver and food for so many years. He wished that one gold could be broken into two gold flowers, and he had never fought a rich war.

The dignified eight-foot-tall man, known as the unparalleled warrior in the world, could only scratch his head and scratch his head anxiously when faced with money and food, but was stunned that he had no solution at all.

Now that he learned that Zhen had surrendered to the emperor and would secretly support him with money, food, and even weapons and armor, he almost shed tears of excitement.

"This is what Guo Fengxiao told Mi Zhu himself. How could I lie to you?" Liu Bei pulled his hand back so hard that his bones were almost broken.

"Okay, okay! From this point of view, there is no need to recuperate for two years. When spring comes next year, I will capture Sun Ce's son. Ask him how the defeated dog dares to come to propose marriage!"

Lu Bu was very excited.

It was as if he had already seen the day when Sun Ce would be swept away.

However, Liu Bei's next news did not make him excited.

"Feng Xian, there is one more thing." Liu Bei's eyes were full of sorrow, and he sighed and said: "The Yuan thieves have been attacking Gongsun Zan for a long time, but they can't defeat it. I ordered people to take His Majesty to the front line to boost the morale of the army and boost the morale of the soldiers."

"Counting the days now, Your Majesty should have arrived at the Youzhou battlefield."

"What! How dare Yuan Tie'an do this!" Lu Bu was instantly furious. Like an angry lion, he smashed the desk in front of him to pieces.

He was breathing heavily, and a terrifying evil aura emitted from his body. His eyes were extremely fierce, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.

Holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, he walked out.

"Fengxian, what do you want to do?"

When Liu Bei saw the angry Lu Bu holding up Fang Tian's painted halberd, his eyelids suddenly jumped wildly.

"What to do? Of course I want to go to Youzhou and kill that traitor Yuan Shao!"

Lu Bu's voice was cold and stern, filled with murderous intent.

"No!"

Liu Bei was shocked and quickly stopped Lu Bu.

"Why not? I won't lead the army and go to Youzhou alone, and I won't hinder the overall situation. When I see Yuan Thief, I will cut him into pieces. Who can stop me?"

Lu Bu was really angry.

If something goes wrong with the emperor, what will he do? Who can make him a general?

What about his daughter's throne as queen?

Where did his grandson who was going to be the prince come from?

"Please calm down first! Although the battlefield is dangerous, Yuan Shao will never let His Majesty encounter any danger, otherwise his reputation will be completely ruined!"

"You rashly went to Youzhou, not to mention whether Sun Ce would attack. So what if you killed Yuan Shao? Will His Majesty be able to get out of trouble?"

"Your Majesty cannot get out of trouble, and you will even have to be buried with Yuan Shao! This is not cost-effective. If you die, who will fight for Your Majesty in the future?"

Liu Bei tried to persuade Lu Bu while trying to stop him.

But he could neither convince Lu Bu nor stop him.

I could only shout loudly: "Yun Chang, Yide, Wenyuan, Boping, Gongtai, come here quickly!"

Following Liu Bei's loud shouting, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Chen Gong, who were eating in the front hall, all hurried over.

"Fengxian wants to go to Youzhou alone to kill Yuan Thief, quickly..."

Before Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhang Fei's eyes lit up.

"I want to go too!"

Guan Yu gently stroked his long beard, his slightly squinted eyes shining brightly.

"I am also willing to go and help Duke Wen kill the thief."

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun also had expressions of eagerness on their faces.

When Liu Bei heard this, he quickly glared at the two sworn brothers.

Aren't you here to cause trouble?

In the end, it was Chen Gong's persuasion that finally persuaded Lu Bu.

…

Lujiang County Sheriff's Mansion.

After listening to the messenger's report, Sun Ce's eyes instantly became bloodshot.

"Whoa, yeah, yeah—!"

"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"

"How dare he, a slave with a third surname, humiliate me like this!"

Zhou Yu looked at the frantic Sun Ce with an ugly expression on his face.

His ugly face was not due to Lu Bu's refusal to befriend him, but because of Sun Ce's reputation.

Sun Jian, the biological father, indeed secretly hid the imperial seal.

The adoptive father Yuan Shu is indeed a traitor who is plotting rebellion.

Although Sun Ce listened to his advice and severed ties with Yuan Shu as soon as he became emperor.

But it is indeed true that he did not obey the emperor's edict.

Although they could excuse everyone by saying they didn't know whether the emperor was true or not, the problem was that he didn't take the emperor's edicts seriously on both sides!

It's impossible for both emperors to be fake, right?

"Is Lu Bu's banquet with guests celebrating that his daughter has been canonized as a noblewoman and will enter the palace to serve the emperor?"

Zhou Yu ignored the frantic Sun Ce and looked at the envoy who came back to report.

"Exactly." The messenger nodded and said.

Zhou Yu suddenly understood. After waving the messenger to retreat, he said to Sun Ce:

"Bo Fu, Lu Bu has a bad reputation, but now he can become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Why can't you?"

Sun Ce frowned, confused.

Zhou Yu continued: "Lü Bu had merit in conquering Yuan Shu. Don't you, Bo Fu, have no merit? He was able to confer the titles of General Hussar and Duke Wen, but you didn't get any rewards. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because you did not show your loyalty to the emperor."

"The emperor is just Yuan Shao's puppet, why should I show my loyalty to him?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "This is wrong! On the surface, you are showing loyalty to the emperor, but in fact, you are showing your goodwill to Yuan Shao and showing that you recognize the emperor of Yecheng."

"If you show your loyalty to the emperor, the three major stains in the past will not bother you, just like Lu Bu does today."

Sun Ce thought for a while and felt that what Zhou Yu said was not unreasonable, so he asked: "But where can I find a rebel who has arrogated the title of emperor and a jade seal passed down to the emperor to present to the emperor?"

Zhou Yu gently shook his feather fan, smiled slightly, and said: "To fulfill his status as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao first accepted the daughter of the Zhen family for the emperor, and then accepted the two Qiao from Jiangbei for him."

"In order to prove that he was a loyal minister, Lu Bu sent his daughter to the palace to serve the emperor."

"Bo Fu is not as good as..."
