The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 938 The Fall of Youzhou
In Dongyang City, when he learned that Ma Teng had turned his spear to Guanzhong, the new emperor Liu Bian, who was wearing a reckless dragon robe, was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, especially happy: "Lü Bu's backyard is on fire, God help me!"

Although we don't know who made the move secretly, but being able to recruit Ma Teng, the Northwest wolf, is enough to give Lu Bu a headache for a while.

When Liu Bei and others heard about this, they also had joyful expressions on their faces.

Aside from being happy, Liu Bian did not forget to order people to spread the matter, preferably to make it known to the world.Many soldiers under Lu Bu's command were brought out from Guanzhong and Xiliang, and now there is a disturbance there, together with rumors, it will inevitably lead to instability of the army.

This is their best chance!

"Your Majesty, the Xianbei and the Huns are holding back Lü Bu in the north, and Ma Teng is also planning to plot Guanzhong. Coupled with the pressure from Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao in the south, it is the time when Lv Bu's power is at its weakest. After confronting for so long, we should also support him. Let's see some color!"

Sure enough, among the hundreds of officials standing in the hall, some people came out to report and strongly advocated a decisive battle with Lu Bu.

This is also what Liu Bian was thinking.

Before, the two sides had confronted each other on the border of Yanzhou for so long, there was a lot of thunder and rain, there were countless scolding battles, and there were only a handful of real confrontations.But in this period, due to the containment of all parties, Lu Bu can hardly mobilize troops from other regions. This is indeed the best opportunity for the imperial court in the Kanto region.

As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness to kill him.

It’s good that Ma Teng can enter Guanzhong, or the Huns and Xianbei can break through Bingzhou. If they don’t succeed, it will be troublesome when Lu Bu waits for a while and mobilizes troops from other regions to go to Yanzhou!
"Cao Qing's family, what do you think?"

Liu Bian inquired lightly, and did not directly challenge Lu Bu to fight, but turned his attention to the not-so-tall man below.

In the palace of the court meeting, all the officials seemed to be well-equipped, but Liu Bian, as the emperor, knew in his heart that many of them were mediocre people who did nothing for nothing, and there were only a few of them who really had the right to speak.

But even so, Liu Bian couldn't dethrone them, after all, he still counted on the families behind them to contribute money and efforts.

Without the support of these big families, Liu Bian could not support so many troops.

"Your Majesty, I think that the false emperor Yuan Shu should be eliminated first, and then Lu Bu should be drawn."

Cao Cao knew what Liu Bian was thinking, but he didn't follow his words. Although Cao Cao's mentality had changed over the years, he still put himself in the position of a Hanchen.

Whether it is Liu Xie in Guanzhong or Liu Bian in Guandong, no matter who is the emperor, he is of the blood of the royal family, and Yuan Shu is just an outsider, how can he convince the world with just a baseless lie?
"Your Majesty, I dare not agree with General Cao's opinion." Liu Bei, who was named Situ because of his contribution to helping the dragon, took two steps forward and lightly pressed the wat board in his hand to express his dissent.

"Oh? What's your opinion, Uncle Emperor, feel free to say it." Sitting on the emperor's throne, Liu Bian seemed particularly magnanimous.

Liu Bei straightened his body slightly, and began to narrate in a calm manner: "The false emperor Yuan Shu is certainly hateful, but a few months ago, Lu Bu sent troops to attack Huainan. If we send people again at this time, if we run into Lu Jun, wouldn't it be another disaster?" Do you want to fight? At that time, the three forces will fight in chaos, and it will only be the people in Huainan who will suffer. Therefore, I do not agree to send troops to Huainan."

Liu Bei's words are well-founded, and his words show that he cares about the people, and everything is for the sake of the people.

Liu Bian nodded slightly, and couldn't help but applaud: "The emperor's heart is for the people, it's really a blessing for the great man!"

"Your Majesty praises you, in today's world, only Your Majesty is the Holy King."

The two exchanged blows.

At this time, a new urgent report came from the north.

The Bingzhou army led by Liu Yu smuggled across the northern part of Heishan, invaded Daijun, which borders Bingzhou to the west of Youzhou, and then crossed Heishan and easily captured Shanggu.

After stepping into Youzhou, Liu Yu sang all the way, almost effortlessly, and attacked the city. In addition, Liu Yu had accumulated a lot of popularity in Youzhou before, and the people of Youzhou responded one after another, and all the guards everywhere surrendered.

In just over a month, most of the counties and counties in Youzhou fell into the hands of Liu Yu.

On the contrary, Gongsun Zan's chief Shi Guanjing, who likes to flatter and flatter on weekdays, kept mobilizing troops to actively resist Liu Yu's invasion.

However, these years Gongsun Zan's forced conquest and warlike behavior have made the people in Youzhou miserable and complained, and they have long lost the support of the people. Therefore, even if Guan Jing wanted to fight, he couldn't stop his defeats, and even almost became prisoners several times.

But even so, Guan Jing did not surrender to Liu Yu, and stood firm on one city after another, hoping that his lord would lead an army back to aid Youzhou as soon as possible.

"This nasty old thief actually attacked Youzhou while I was out!"

Hearing this news, Gongsun Zan couldn't bear it any longer, and scolded on the spot, his face full of anger.

Afterwards, he clenched his fists at Liu Bian and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Youzhou is in trouble, so I will take my leave!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Liu Bian to speak, he turned around and walked out of the hall without authorization.

This behavior can be described as extremely rude, and he didn't take Liu Bian, the emperor, seriously.

In fact, Gongsun Zan did not regard Liu Bian as the emperor in his heart. He was also a famous figure in Liaodong after all, how could he be called by a child.

Calling him 'Your Majesty' is enough to save face.

All the officials in the palace turned a blind eye to this. A few days ago, a Yilang angrily scolded Gongsun Zan for being disrespectful. As a result, after he came down to the court, he was directly beheaded by Gongsun Zan's generals on the charge of secretly colluding with Lu Bu.

After the emperor learned about it, he only reprimanded him a little, and then there was no further text.

After all, Gongsun Zan had [-] soldiers in his hands, so if Liu Bian wanted to move him, he had to weigh it in advance.

"General Gongsun, wait!"

Although he was very angry, Liu Bian couldn't break his face with Gongsun Zan during this period, and he hadn't reached the point where Asuka had done his best.He controlled his emotions and said with a smile: "Earlier this morning, I received a report from General Yuan Shao, saying that he has sent General Wen Chou with [-] troops to Youzhou for reinforcements."

Yuan Benchu?
Gongsun Zan frowned. The two were rivals back then, how could he be so kind?
"General Gongsun, don't worry about it. Now all the ministers are serving the court. When the general expels Liu Yu, he will definitely return Youzhou. I can guarantee you."

Liu Bian said with certainty that he didn't care whether Yuan Shao would be able to withdraw from Youzhou later.

To start a war with Lu Bu right now, Gongsun Zan's iron cavalry is indispensable.

"Since Your Majesty said so, I will give you this face."

Gongsun Zan agreed. He used to work under Liu Yu, and he knew that Liu Yu was not good at leading troops in battle. With Wen Chou leading the army, Liu Yu must not be an opponent.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan actually agreed, Cao Cao couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.I don't know whether to say that he is brave or foolhardy, or that he thinks things without going through his brain.

How could Yuan Shao be so kind?

This move is clearly an attempt to annex Youzhou on the grounds of sending troops.
