Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 196 Stubborn Lu Bu

Yuan Shu saw that all his subordinates had finished, and said in a loud voice: "Last night, I received Yang Fengxin's report that Chang'an was disrupted, Lu Bu and Li Jue attacked each other, and Yang Feng escorted the young emperor to Nanyang. Will this general accept it?"

Feng Fang, Yuan Shu's father-in-law, who worked in Nanyang, stepped out of the shift and said, "Yang Feng is very poor and came to vote, so it's better not to accept it."

Yuan Shu smiled slightly and said, "Oh, let's listen to the details."

"In the past, Gaozu was only the head of a pavilion on Sishang, but he controlled the world. Now it has been [-] years, and his energy is exhausted, and there is a lot of turmoil in the world. If the general accepts the young emperor, he still needs to ask for advice on everything, but it will be a hindrance and useless." Feng Fang said.

Yuan Shu nodded and said: "Yue Zhang is right, send people over there to prevent him from coming."

"My lord, don't do it!" one person shouted out.

Yuan Shu looked up and saw that it was Yan Xiang, his master secretary, and asked, "What advice does Master Yan have?"

Yan Xiang bowed and said: "The lord is a Han minister, and the emperor is in trouble at this time, so he should do his duty as a minister and help."

"This..." Yuan Shu hesitated.

Yan Xiang continued: "My lord, you can refer to Zhao Qian. Have you ever heard that Zhao Qian was restrained by the new emperor? On the contrary, Zhao Qian took the order of the emperor to destroy Gongsun Zan and win Youzhou, and his momentum was huge. My lord thinks about it."

Yuan Shu nodded after hearing this, and also very much agreed with Yan Xiang's words. After all, Zhao Qian used the emperor's order to destroy Gongsun Zan, and everyone in the world saw it.

Just when Yuan Shu was hesitating, he suddenly saw a person sitting in the last seat with a calm demeanor, as if what everyone was discussing had nothing to do with him.

The man's expression was indifferent, but if you look carefully, you will find that the sleeve of his left arm is empty, fluttering with the wind from time to time.

And behind him, there is a person standing, with red phoenix eyes, crouching silkworm eyebrows, a face like a jujube, and the long beard under his jaw seems to have been broken, but he still looks majestic.

These two people were Liu Bei and Guan Yu who escaped from Gongsun Zan and defected to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu didn't want to accept Liu Bei at first, but his subordinates advised him that if he didn't accept Liu Bei, he would have a bad reputation of rejecting talents, so Yuan Shu kept Liu Bei.

Seeing Liu Bei at this moment, Yuan Shu sneered, and said loudly, "Xuande claims to be a clan member of the Han family, what's your opinion?"

When Liu Bei heard Yuan Shu calling him, he quickly stood up and said, "In Liu Bei's opinion, the general should accept the young emperor."

Yuan Shu smirked and said, "Please Xuande try it out."

Seeing Yuan Shu's smile, Liu Bei didn't think he was disobedient, and said indifferently: "Liu Bei asks the general, how is it compared to Zhao Qian?"

When Liu Bei asked, Yuan Shu immediately got annoyed and said, "What does Xuande mean by that? Then Zhao Qian is just a small official, and I have four generations and three princes, how can we be the same!"

"Liu Bei is presumptuous!" Feng Fang shouted, "You even compare the general with that Zhao Qian, do you look down on the general?"

Liu Bei was not angry at all, and smiled slightly, and said, "I have no intention of looking down on the general."

"Then what do you mean?" Yuan Shu asked.

Liu Bei laughed and said: "Even Zhao Qian, who was born as a minor official, dared to make a new king; the general inherited the power of the fourth generation and the third lord, how could he ignore the young emperor?"

Liu Bei's words made Yuan Shu stunned, and nodded unconsciously. Thinking about it, even that kid Zhao Qian dared to establish a new king, so why didn't he dare to accept the young emperor?
Seeing that Yuan Shu was moved, Liu Bei went on to say: "Back then, Duke Wen of Jin accepted King Xiang of Zhou, and the princes obeyed him; Gao Zu mourned for Emperor Yi, and the world returned to his heart. Today, the son Mengchen, why don't the general welcome him, and enshrine the emperor to follow the expectations of everyone, It’s a strategy of immortality!”

Yuan Shu nodded and said, "Xuande's words are very reasonable."

Liu Bei continued: "If this matter is not decided early, I am afraid that others will do it before me. If that happens, it will be too late for the general to regret."

Yuan Shu patted the cases in front of him and said, "Okay, according to Xuande's words, prepare to welcome the young emperor!"

A few days later, Yang Feng's chariot, which served Liu Xie, arrived outside Nanyang City, and Yuan Shu led a group of officials to greet him outside the city gate.

Seeing Liu Xie approaching, Yuan Shu led Wen Wu to go forward, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed again and again.

Liu Xie ordered Yang Feng to open the curtain of the car, and said: "I have a long way to go. I have been murdered by Min for a long time, and the Han family is unfortunate. Today, I am lucky to have a general to welcome me. I am really a minister of the country. Hurry up!"

Yuan Shu called Long Live, stood up, and said: "I have received national favors for many generations, and I am eager to repay them. I am full of crimes and thieves. I have more than [-] elite soldiers. If you obey and oppose, you will surely win!"

"If that's the case, I'm at peace." Liu Xie sighed.

Yuan Shu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you should protect the body of the dragon. This is the luck of the country and the world."

Liu Xie was overjoyed, so he named Yuan Shu a general, pretended to be a festival axe, and recorded the affairs of the minister.

Yuan Shu was also happy, so he welcomed Liu Xie into Nanyang City, and ordered people to build a palace for Liu Xie to live in.

At this time, although Lu Bu in Chang'an became the final winner, he was not very happy. After several battles in Chang'an City, the people were displaced, and there were ten rooms and nine empty houses. Although it was a majestic city, it was lifeless.

Gao Shun, Zang Ba, Wang Yun and others were all in Lu Bu's Marquis Mansion.

Wang Yun looked at Lu Bu and said, "Marquis Wen, I really can't stay in Chang'an City for a long time, please ask Marquis Wen to think about it."

"This Marquis has spent a lot of effort to get this city. Is it true that you can't stay for a long time?" Lu Bu asked unwillingly.

Wang Yun sighed and said: "With the strength of Marquis Wen, if Zhao Qian comes to attack, can he defend this city?"

Lu Bu was taken aback, and said unconvinced: "Didn't Zhao Qian also come to attack Chang'an before? Is this Marquis inferior to Dong Zhuo and Li Jue?"

Wang Yun shook his head and said, "That's why."

"Why is that?" Lu Bu asked.

Wang Yun said patiently: "Before, Dong Zhuo had the young emperor as a shield, and the princes were afraid of throwing rats, so Zhao Qian also had scruples, so he didn't come to attack each other. But at this time, the young emperor fled, and Marquis Wen's troops were few. It's worse."

Zang Ba said: "Marquis Wen, when the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover them with earth. If they flee without fighting, they will be ridiculed by the people of the world!"

Gao Shun also echoed: "That's right, Marquis Wen, the walls of Chang'an are high and thick, so it may not be able to stop the attacks of the princes!"

"You two generals, don't act impulsively!" Wang Yun quickly persuaded.

Lu Bu frowned, watching the three of them arguing, his mind became more and more confused, and he shouted: "Okay, don't talk about it, just after a big war, it needs to be corrected, and it is currently stationed in Chang'an."

"Marquis Wen!" Wang Yun said urgently, "Please think twice!"

Seeing Wang Yun's chatter, Lu Bu became a little angry. He stood up and said, "This Marquis has a red rabbit horse and a square halberd with a painting pole. Why are you afraid of the princes of the world? If they don't come, it's fine. If they dare to come, I will teach them to often This Hou Fangtian is very good at drawing halberds!"

Seeing that Lu Bu didn't listen to his persuasion, Wang Yun could only let out a long sigh, turn around and leave!
