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

……

Yuan Shu hurriedly looked back at Yu She and asked in a low voice, "Judging from what that concubine's son said, the Imperial Seal of the State seems to be in Wentai's hands."

If we intend to seize it, what should we do now?

I would like to ask Zichuan to devise a plan.

Yu She: "???"

"Is that so?"

He discovered that he had died too young in his previous lives and hadn't had a chance to experience these things, so he secretly used magic:

"My lord, do not hesitate. You must prioritize the preservation of Wentai."

Regardless of whether Yuan Shao's words are true or false, or whether the Imperial Seal is truly in Wen Tai's hands, if he remains indifferent to Yuan Shao's open bullying of Wen Tai, he will not only lose face for his lord, but also greatly lose the people's trust.

Secondly, if the Imperial Seal is indeed in Wentai's hands, and Yuan Shao were to take it now, both publicly and privately, our lord would likely never have another chance to obtain it.

"It would be better to protect Wentai for now, so that he will remember our lord's kindness. In the future, we can use either gratitude or coercion. As long as the imperial seal is still in his hands, once we return to the south, with only Wentai and our lord, are we afraid we can't cleverly seize it?"

Yuan Shu said, "Good." He then quickly stepped forward, stood in front of Sun Jian, and faced Yuan Shao directly.

"Alliance Leader Yuan, you're pressing me so aggressively. What are you planning to do to Shu's subordinates while I'm away?"

"Is it Vice Alliance Leader Yuan here? ↑↓"

Yuan Shao had already seen him bring his men in, but he was busy with the matter of the Imperial Seal and did not want to cause any more trouble, so he had not paid any attention to him.

Seeing Yuan Shu's posture, which clearly indicated his intention to protect Sun Jian, he immediately turned cold and questioned him in a deep voice.

"What am I supposed to do? Why don't you ask Sun Jian what great things he's accomplished?"

We, the eighteen warlords, have joined forces in this righteous cause to jointly punish the traitors of the state, in order to restore the Han Dynasty and revive the nation.

And he! Having stolen the imperial treasure, he intended to leave without saying goodbye, secretly keeping the imperial seal. What exactly was his intention?

Could this also be the vice leader's intention?

Yuan Shu then looked back at Sun Jian and asked him about it.

"Wentai, the Alliance Leader says you stole the Imperial Seal of the State, is that true?"

Sun Jian was greatly shocked and feigned ignorance, replying, "What are you saying? How...how could I possess the Imperial Treasure?"

Does being the leader of the alliance give you the right to frame and oppress others at will? Vice-leader, you must stand up for Jian!

Yuan Shu nodded and replied to Yuan Shao:

"Alliance Leader, look, Wentai said he didn't."

There must be a misunderstanding here. That traitor Dong Zhuo kidnapped the emperor and looted Luoyang, yet he wouldn't leave behind even a single coin of gold or silver. How could he possibly have lost the Imperial Treasure?

Seeing the two of them singing in unison, Yuan Shao was both amused and annoyed. He stared coldly at Sun Jian and asked in a deep voice.

"Sun Wentai! Have you thought this through?"

"The item you found in the well at Jianzhang Palace the other day has been hidden away until now. How could you have forgotten it already?"

Seeing that Sun Jian was still pretending to be ignorant, he raised his hand, summoned a man, pointed at him, and asked, "Wentai, do you recognize this person?"

Sun Jian glanced at the man and saw that he was the same soldier who had helped retrieve the imperial seal that night, and that the man had secretly communicated with Yuan Shao.

Knowing that if he confronted this person, he feared he would be unable to deceive him any longer, and that not only Yuan Shao, but even Yuan Shu, who still trusted him at the time, would try to seize his imperial seal.

Sun Jian was enraged and drew his sword to slash at the soldier.

"You scoundrel, how dare you make false accusations?"

Yuan Shao also drew his sword and rebuked him, "How dare you! In broad daylight, do you intend to kill someone to silence them?"

After he finished speaking, the two men behind Yuan Shao drew their swords and stepped forward. One was Yan Liang, wearing an embroidered robe and golden armor, and the other was Wen Chou, wearing a white robe and silver armor.

Recently, Yuan Shu, relying on the prestige of General Yu She, forcibly took the position of deputy leader of the alliance and suppressed him in every way. Yuan Shao was indignant, so he specially transferred these two to compete with Yuan Shu. Unexpectedly, they ran into the matter of Sun Jian hiding the imperial seal.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, who were behind Sun Jian, also drew their swords.

They urged him urgently, saying, "Take it out quickly to avoid trouble."

He gritted his teeth, thinking, "How can you force someone to do something that's out of nothing?"

The two sides were on the verge of battle, with a fight about to break out at any moment.

……

"What's in the well at Jianzhang Palace?"

The scene before him startled Yu She. He was writing down the events of the day when he suddenly heard a soft cough. It was clear that his master was at a loss and was urging him to step in and resolve the matter.

"The saying 'the capable are often burdened with more work' probably refers to this."

He sighed inwardly and quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Alliance Leader! Brother Wentai! Please don't get angry! Let me say a word."

As he spoke, he quickly raised his hand and pointed to the soldier that Yuan Shao had just led out, saying:

"This must be a spy orchestrated by Dong Zhuo to sow discord among the feudal lords and cause our army to fall apart."

Leader of the Alliance, consider this: if the matter of the Imperial Seal causes discord within our own ranks, who will benefit? The traitor Dong Zhuo!

He had just suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the allied forces, and the emperor had been forced to flee to Chang'an. What was he afraid of? The allied forces.

If the leader of the alliance turns against Wentai today because of this person's one-sided story, then who among the feudal lords can trust each other in the future?

Today he sends someone to say that Wentai has obtained the imperial seal, tomorrow he sends someone else to say that someone is secretly keeping the emperor's carriage, and the day after tomorrow he sends someone else to say that someone has the ambition to become emperor.

Must the alliance leader also relentlessly question everyone involved? Can right and wrong be determined solely by one party's opinion and verbal arguments?

If this is the case, then the warlords will attack each other entirely at their whim. Dong Zhuo, a treacherous tiger, occupies Guanzhong, honing his military might; one day, his iron hooves will sweep south, and we will all be reduced to dust.

Sun Jian was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly pointed to the soldier, saying, "What Zichuan said is exactly what I think. This thief must be a spy of Dong Zhuo. I urge the alliance leader to kill him quickly and not disappoint the expectations of the lords."

As for the claim about the Imperial Seal of the State, it is utterly false!

I swear to Heaven that if I obtain this treasure and conceal it, I will not have a good end; I will surely die under a thousand arrows!

"this……"

Seeing Sun Jian's resolute oath, Yuan Shao hesitated, not truly believing Sun Jian's promise.

Rather, as Yu She said, the only evidence that Sun Jian obtained the imperial seal is one-sided. If Sun Jian is punished based solely on the opinion of one person, it would be difficult to convince the public.

After all, to the other warlords who were unaware of the truth, Yuan Shao could point to Sun Jian's possession of the Imperial Seal of the State today and raise an army to punish him, and in the future he could also point to them as having secretly possessed some imperial treasure and raise an army to attack them.

How could the other warlords present not be alienated from Yuan Shao?

Moreover, with Yuan Shu and other warlords present, they obviously wouldn't just stand by and watch him fight Sun Jian.

Considering this, Yuan Shao had no choice but to give up for the time being, and only stared intently at Sun Jian.

"Brother Wentai, remember the oath you made today!"

"If I hear that you have the Imperial Seal in your hands one day, don't blame me for forgetting our past friendship and the merit of defeating Dong Zhuo, and for raising an army to punish the rebel and rid the Han Dynasty of the traitor."

Facing Yuan Shao's gaze, Sun Jian remained dignified and fearless.

"What is there to fear if one has lived a life of integrity and upright conduct, even if it involves fabricating a crime out of thin air?"

Seeing that Yu She had persuaded both sides to back down, Yuan Shu quickly stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over.

"Alright! Today is a day of great victory, let's hold a banquet to celebrate and not talk about these unpleasant things anymore."

As he spoke, he looked at Yuan Shao with a smile, "The Alliance Leader probably doesn't know yet, does he? The other day, Yuan Shao led his army to a great victory over Dong Zhuo at Xingyang, killing the Xiliang troops so badly that they lost their armor and weapons and were routed. Dong Zhuo was chased so badly that he fled in panic."

If not for Lü Bu's intervention, Zichuan would have nearly killed Dong Zhuo with a single spear thrust, thus securing peace for the realm.

Yuan Shao: "???"

Yu She: "..."
