The Three Kingdoms: General Yu She, reincarnated a hundred times.

Chapter 20 My Lord Yuan Shu, a Loyal and Virtuous Man of the Han Dynasty!

……

"Lord Xuande, you flatter me."

"Mr. Zichuan, you are too kind."

Liu Bei and Yu She both wanted to befriend each other, so they didn't dwell on the small matter. Soon, Yu She, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were chatting happily again, celebrating their victory amidst the thunderous cheers of the allied soldiers.

Just then, another figure leaped out from the crowd, and he laughed loudly, saying:

"My peerless general has arrived!"

It was none other than Yuan Shu.

Yu She stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said, "This humble general, Yu She, has fortunately fulfilled his mission!"

"Okay!"

Yuan Shu hurriedly stepped forward and personally helped him up, saying, "Zichuan's great victory over Lü Bu this time is truly commendable. I shall hold a banquet to celebrate with you."

The other lords followed suit, their faces beaming with the joy of victory, and they echoed each other's sentiments, praising Yuan Shu and his ministers.

"With the assistance of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the valiant efforts of all the generals, how could this be the achievement of just one person?"

Despite his modesty, Yu She was about to go inside when he noticed that Yuan Shu was still holding his hand and looking at him meaningfully. He then coughed lightly.

Yu She: "Hmm~?"

Upon hearing that extremely familiar soft cough, Yu She's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have made another promise to his lord.

"If Yuan Shu were to kill Lü Bu and return victorious, he would surely carry the momentum of great achievement and unparalleled prestige, forcing the other lords to jointly elect Yuan Shu as their leader."

Yu She: "..."

"Didn't I fail to kill Lü Bu either? Why do you still want him?"

But clearly, having been kept on tenterhooks, Lord Yuan Shu's patience had reached its limit. If he didn't see some tangible reward soon, he might start to doubt again and stop believing in him.

Well, since things have come to this, let's do it.

As for whether doing so would offend Yuan Shao and the other warlords?

"What a joke! She is Yuan Shu's 'peerless favorite general.' Anyone who dares to lay a finger on me is testing the might of my lord's 'general,' Sun Wentai!"

Anyway, none of these people are their lords. So what if they are offended? Can they bypass Yuan Shu and come after them?

But if he really offends Yuan Shu, Yu She's good days will be over.

……

Thinking of this, Yu She looked down upon the other feudal lords with pride and sighed deeply.

"Now that Dong Zhuo's power is great, the emperor is in imminent danger, and the people are suffering terribly. This is the time for loyal ministers to risk their lives and for good generals to display their martial prowess."

However, since the alliance meeting, all of you have obeyed the orders of Alliance Leader Yuan, held your troops back at Suanzao, and indulged in feasting and drinking in your tents. You have not achieved any merit, nor have you repaid your loyalty!

The emperor eagerly awaited his arrival, and the people eagerly anticipated his progress, but his hesitation and reluctance greatly disappointed the world.

"You gentlemen have enjoyed the Han dynasty's bounty and imperial favor for generations; how are you any different from rotten wood and decaying grass in your actions?"

After saying this, he drew his sword and pointed it directly at Yuan Shao.

"Now that Shao is incompetent, things will surely change in the long run. The leader of the feudal lords should be the one with virtue!"

Yuan Shu, courtesy name Gonglu, was the legitimate son of four generations of high-ranking officials. He was a model of heroes in the world, always thinking of supporting the Han Dynasty and prioritizing loyalty and integrity.

Whenever he thought of His Majesty falling into the hands of the traitor Dong Zhuo, suffering humiliation and lamenting the peril of the nation, Lord Yuan was filled with grief and tears would stream down his face.

Seeing that his lords were stuck at Suanzao, fearing the might of Dong Zhuo's army, and prioritizing their own interests over the greater good, causing hundreds of thousands of troops to hesitate to advance, Yuan Gong was filled with regret and could not sleep at night.

If Lord Yuan were to become the leader of the alliance, he would surely mobilize a million troops, break through the Si River to save Luoyang, welcome the emperor, and save the people!

If this is true, and the people are saved from suffering, and the Han dynasty is saved from collapse, then what is there to fear from the traitor Dong Zhuo? Why would the world not be at peace?

Do you all agree?

Yu She's words were powerful and resounding. He returned with the momentum of a great victory, and his words were so powerful that they made the other feudal lords ashamed and speechless.

His remarks at this time served two purposes: firstly, to fulfill his promise to Yuan Shu and to complete the "plan of crossing the river" that he had previously made up on the spot, so as to avoid his lord settling scores with him later.

Secondly, he also had some selfish motives, thinking that if Yuan Shu could truly take control of the overall situation and command the other lords, none would dare to disobey him.

Our ambitious lord will surely launch an attack and defeat the traitor Dong Zhuo, to demonstrate that his achievements as the leader of the alliance far surpass those of Shao.

If we can take advantage of this to break through the pass as soon as possible and reach Luoyang before Dong Zhuo moves the capital, we might be able to save those millions of people from suffering.

……

Upon hearing Yu She's words, Yuan Shu was greatly pleased, thinking to himself, "Here he comes! Zichuan has indeed lived up to my expectations."

He then stepped forward, looking down on everyone and deigning to look down on the feudal lords.

"Zichuan's words are the essence of the correct method!"

Son of this lowly servant, since you assumed the position of leader, you have accomplished nothing for several months now.

How can an incompetent person have the face to command the feudal lords?

Born of a concubine, he is of lowly birth and has usurped the name of the Yuan family, presumptuously commanding the righteous army of the world.

"Quickly abdicate to avoid further humiliation, or I'll show you the true sharpness of Zichuan's sword!"

Yu She: "..."

"I was merely feigning arrogance, but my lord's conceit was completely natural!"

In front of all the feudal lords, he rebuked Yuan Shao as the son of a lowly servant, a illegitimate and despicable child—this shows he completely disregarded Yuan Shao!

"You...you people! How dare you!"

In the past, in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo held the officials hostage and wanted to depose and install the emperor. Yuan Shao stood alone, fearless and dignified.

"Do I fear your sword now?"

The two, Yu She and Yuan Shu, were singing in unison, which had already angered Yuan Shao to the point that his face turned red. He glared at the two men and drew his sword.

Then Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei stepped forward and silently stood behind Yu She.

Although the three men did not think highly of Yuan Shu because of what had happened before, they came with high hopes, intending to unite the warlords to support the Han Dynasty, rescue the emperor and make a name for themselves. However, for several months, the warlords had been feasting and dancing all day long without making any progress in their troops, which had already disappointed them.

Hearing Yu She's words at this moment, how could they not be delighted? If they supported Yuan Shu as the leader of the alliance at this time, it would truly enable the other warlords to raise troops sooner, eliminate the traitor Dong Zhuo, and restore the Han dynasty. They would naturally do so without hesitation.

Among the other warlords, considering that it was Yuan Shu who had put forward his analysis of Dong Zhuo's military strategy, the allied forces had achieved some results. If Yuan Shu could be the leader, defeating Dong Zhuo might not be just empty talk.

Therefore, Kong Rong, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian and others also silently stood behind Yuan Shu, clearly echoing Yu She's words of loyalty and righteousness, and strongly advocating for a swift attack on Dong Zhuo.

Seeing this, Han Fu, Wang Kuang, Liu Dai, and others also stepped forward to defend Yuan Shao, saying, "Dong Zhuo's power is too great, we cannot advance rashly," and "Yuan Shao is also planning for the country, and his decision to hold back his troops is a wise and prudent move."

As the two sides drew their swords and remained locked in a stalemate, their gazes inevitably fell upon the still hesitant warlords, led by Cao Cao, including Bao Xin and Wei Zi.

Seeing the two Yuan brothers vying for supremacy and both looking towards him, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

Although he was willing to support Yuan Shu and advance his troops to restore the Han Dynasty as soon as possible, now was not the time for internal strife. If the two sides continued to fight, the eighteen warlords would fall apart, and the great cause of defeating Dong Zhuo would perish halfway.

He then spoke words of reconciliation, saying:

"The spirit of the highway to save the Han Dynasty is as bright as the sun and moon."

His initial actions were for the benefit of the nation, not for personal gain.
