Chapter 387(1/2)
"Everyone, we are going to Xudu soon. We are all here for the same purpose.
It's just that there are so many of us who don't belong to each other, and we are facing powerful Cao thieves.
The situation was more complicated than when facing Dong Zhuo.
I have no other intention, I just have to select a suitable person.
Otherwise, I'm afraid they will be defeated individually. It's not that I don't believe in your abilities.
It’s just that Thief Cao has many talented people and strangers under his command, so it’s easy to defeat him by gathering all the strength, what do you think?”
Compared with Yuan Benchu before, he seems smoother now, at least his ability to put on a show is better.
In the past, he would have been more arrogant, but now he can let go of his arrogance.
His words seemed to be of some use to others.
Especially those who were not favored by others in the past, such as Sun Wentai, and now Liu Bei.
Of course, they are the only ones left who once attacked Dong Zhuo.
There is even a person here who can be regarded as a remnant of Dong Zhuo, but no one dares to say it.
"What are you looking at? If you want to choose, choose it; if you don't want to choose, don't choose! I'm just here to avenge His Majesty.
After all, Your Majesty has forgiven me. Although I can only be a prince outside the customs, at least I will not become a sinner of the Han Dynasty.
I'm very unhappy with what Cao Cao did, so I'm here, but you...
It’s not that I look down on you, except for a few people, there is no one who can beat you!”
Lu Bu didn't say who these people were, but people with a little bit of skill were slightly tense.
To make themselves look more powerful, it is obvious that Lu Bu's evaluation and recognition are still very important in their hearts.
"Alas, what time is it now, and I still feel like this, we are facing Cao Cao!
If everyone cooperates, the court will rely on us!"
Yuan Shao felt a little unhappy when he saw that everyone's eyes were on Lu Bu.
Why do you say that he is also the head of the Yuan family with four generations and three sons? Why should he go to see a reckless man?
After Yuan Shao finished speaking, Yuan Shu on the side said unhappily: "Okay, stop being so clever.
Why, do you want to be the leader of the alliance again to make your reputation even higher?
You already have such a high reputation now. No matter how high it is, you might not be able to become an emperor. It's a pity that the jade seal is no longer in your hands."
There was something in Yuan Shu's words. When he talked about Yuxi, everyone looked at Sun Wentai, then at Yuan Shu, and finally at Yuan Shao, which made Yuan Shao a little embarrassed.
He really just wanted to increase his reputation, and he did have the ambition to become the emperor. However, if he no longer had a super prop like the Yuxi, it would be almost impossible for him to become the emperor.
To find someone from the Liu family to be a puppet emperor is considered extreme, unless he has the courage to directly use his own banner and rebel directly.
But if he really had such courage, he wouldn't appear here.
And what about Yuan Shu? As we all know, this guy really has a jade seal in his hand. Yes, it was given to him by Sun Wentai, the Tiger of Jiangdong.
Sun Jian and Sun Wentai obtained this treasure during the last battle against Dong Zhuo.
After that, he ran all the way away from the battlefield, and then someone found out about it, and he was almost killed because of this.
Something different from other worlds happened again. Sun Wentai, who was shot by Huang Zu, did not die.
After waking up, he directly found Yuan Shu with the jade seal. After some transactions, the jade seal belonged to Yuan Shu.
Sun Wentai received 30,000 soldiers and horses and countless grain and grass, and became the person who laid the foundation for him.
Relying on these troops, he was able to carve out a future in Jiangdong, beheading him from one end of Jiangdong to the other.
He directly cut the aristocratic families and barbarian gangsters to pieces, and he had the final say in the entire Jiangdong.
Of course, because of this, there are very few people around him who can use him.
After all, he was too violent. Many people from those wealthy families were killed and moved directly without being willing to serve as officials in his territory.
As for Sun Wentai, what he wanted was this effect. Nowadays, everyone knows his reputation for cruelty.
But no one knew that Jiangdong was already thriving under his strength.
Seeing that everyone noticed him again, Sun Wentai smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that, everyone.
I admit that I was greedy when I got the jade seal, but later I also discovered that I don’t have this fate.
I simply found someone to replace my troops and win the current foundation. This status and wealth are really life-threatening.
Anyway, I definitely can’t be the emperor. As long as the person who becomes the emperor can be diligent and loves the people, I will support whoever becomes the emperor!"
This can be regarded as expressing one's own intention, and directly showing oneself an attitude that he will not proclaim himself emperor.
Although not many people believe this, they can give away the jade seals they get, which shows that they are sensible people.
Sure enough, neither Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, nor Liu Bei, a member of the Han clan, had any intention of blaming him.
"It's too early to say this now, our goal should be to get rid of Cao Cao first.
As for the jade seal and the throne, I think it’s better to capture Xu Du first and then talk about it.”
The person who said this was Yuan Shu. It was obvious that he had some thoughts about that position as he had the jade seal in his hand.
Originally, if Cao Cao had not killed Liu Xie, he would have been ready to proclaim himself emperor.
And what happened also gave him some more legitimate hopes.
He helped Liu Xie take revenge and kill Cao Cao, and then he took charge of the artifact and ascended to the position of the Nine-Fiveth Supreme. I believe no one would object!
This was also the reason why he wanted to stop Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao wanted reputation, and he wanted it too.
And seriously speaking, he is the legitimate son of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao is just a concubine.
"Yes, you're right, the most important thing now is to deal with Cao Cao.
Just everyone, can you please discuss and let me be the pioneer this time?"
Liu Bei stood up and said that most people didn't understand his choice. After all, Liu Bei's identity was actually a bit embarrassing.
Because it is now widely rumored that Liu Chan is the one who wants to be the emperor, and Liu Chan is Liu Bei’s son.
If Liu Chan became emperor, Liu Bei would be the supreme emperor.
Of course, this is not a good thing, after all, he carries the reputation of killing the emperor.
And others felt that it would not be appropriate for Liu Bei to go to war, because Liu Chan was in Cao Cao's hands.
If the time comes, Cao Cao uses Liu Chan's life as a threat to force Liu Bei to retreat.
If we even become enemies with them, what will happen then?
Of course it was impossible for Liu Bei to surrender and listen to Cao Cao's words, but he knew it, but others didn't.
Liu Bei was eager to jump out and express his attitude for this reason.
"Why are you all looking at me like this? Doubting me?
Do you think I will compromise with Cao Cao because Liu Chan is my son?
Okay, I, Liu Bei, will swear an oath here today, and I will not be a human being until I break Xu Du's oath.
Even if my son's life is used as a threat, I will definitely not waver in the slightest.
Now, do you still think that I can’t be this pioneer?”
"How can this be the case after Xuande has passed? My nephew still needs to be saved, but we just need to consider it in the long term.
Calm down, it’s not like everyone doesn’t believe in you, I believe in you and always have!”
"Yes, yes, everyone knows the reputation of Duke Xuande. I heard about the news that the late emperor was killed this time.
Duke Xuande cried bitterly and hated Cao Cao and his son very much. We cannot doubt him."
“Mr.
Keep your martial souls in check, Qisha and Pojun appear together, it’s hard to hold them back."
"······"
After Liu Bei's attitude came out, who could say anything?
Everyone expressed their kindness and attitude.
Of course, it is unknown how much the attitude of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei changed.
Gongsun Zan looked at Zhao Yun, who was exuding pressure in Liu Bei's camp, with a trace of pity and regret flashing in his eyes.
The children of his family cannot take back the water thrown out by the married general!
Lu Bu looked at Guan, Zhang and Zhao with bright eyes, his eyes revealing a strong fighting spirit.
The combination of these three people put some pressure on him, but at the same time it also aroused his fighting spirit.
Very few people can make him feel excited. This time is indeed an exception. I really hope I can give them a fight!
It was a good party, but now it was free from chaos. Yuan Shao looked at Liu Bei resentfully.
