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

……

As Yuan Shu pointed at Yu She, subtly boasting about his own achievements with a "come and praise me" smile on his face, everyone realized that this deputy leader of the alliance had led the troops to pursue Dong Zhuo in Xingyang and defeated him decisively.

All the feudal lords were astonished!

In contrast to the scene where Yuan Shao just listened to one side of the story and interrogated his ally Sun Jian, even almost resorting to violence, why didn't the other warlords praise Yuan Shu, the deputy leader of the alliance,?

So far, since the warlords began their campaign against Dong Zhuo, most of the victories have been won by Sun Jian, who was an vassal of Yuan Shu. The great victories of breaking through Sishui Pass, capturing Luoyang, and even pursuing the traitor Dong Zhuo were all led by Yuan Shu.

"Then may I ask, our alliance leader, what commendable achievements do you possess?"

……

On that day, everyone drank and sang, feasting to celebrate their victory. Yuan Shu, the deputy leader of the alliance, became very famous, and the other lords paid homage to him. He almost overshadowed Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance. How could Yuan Shao not be wary of him?

Yuan Shao knew that if he wanted to surpass Yuan Shu and regain control of the coalition of warlords, he had to do something earth-shattering!

He secretly contacted his trusted lords, including Han Fu, Zhang Miao, Wang Kuang, and Yuan Yi, to plot a secret affair.

At a banquet one day, Yuan Shao raised his hand to signal a temporary halt to the singing and dancing, and raised his cup to the other lords, saying:

"Now that the traitor Dong has abducted the emperor to the west, the passes have been cut off, the roads are blocked, and news is not being transmitted. The court is in imminent danger, and the emperor's life or death is uncertain."

Furthermore, the ruler was controlled by Zhuo in his youth, causing the people to lose their allegiance. If this continued, the country would cease to exist.

Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, was a member of the Han imperial family and the hope of the people!

I intend to install Yu as emperor to continue the Han dynasty and secure the state.

If that is the case, then by supporting the emperor to punish the traitor Dong Zhuo, what need is there for the world to be unsettled, and what need is there for the four seas to be uneasy?

If you gentlemen share this view, then Shao can send an envoy to Yu to discuss the matter of following the dragon's lead.

Upon hearing Yuan Shao's words, all the other warlords paled in shock.

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao with disbelief, his gaze filled with unfamiliarity, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Benchu, you...you're so foolish!"

The reason we raised an army to punish the rebels, and that people far and near responded, is because it is a great cause for the world!

You have arbitrarily deposed and installed emperors; are you any different from the traitor Dong Zhuo?

Who in the world can bring peace to this land?

Yuan Shao stared back at him coldly, his eyes as still as a deep well, as if he had long expected this day to come.

Just as Cao Cao had previously conspired with Yuan Shu to capture Sishui without informing him, Yuan Shao deliberately did not consult with Cao Cao beforehand this time as well.

This was because his advisor Guo Tu advised him: "Cao Cao and She's views are similar, and they are very much like strategists. They cannot be trusted! If secrets are not kept, disaster will result. If he secretly imparts them to strategists, She will use their schemes against him, and the great cause will surely fail."

……

He looked at Cao Cao, who was filled with righteous indignation, his childhood friend and comrade-in-arms, and Yuan Shao smiled, a cold smile.

He simply asked:

"Mengde speaks very nicely, but the current situation is difficult. Dong Zhuo has taken the emperor hostage and retreated to Luoyang, closing the Xiaohan Pass to isolate the inside from the outside world."

We have not heard the imperial edicts for a long time, and the people of the world do not know where they belong. The country is without a ruler, and the people are without a master. How can we talk about the greater good of the world?

Only by supporting Liu Yu as emperor and raising the banner of the Han Dynasty can the dragon banner point westward, punish the disloyal, restore the Han Dynasty, and return to the old capital.

This is the great principle governing the world!

He pointed to the distant Luoyang, where black smoke still lingered and the city lay in desolate ruins.

"Let's look at the present situation, Mengde."

The area within a radius of two hundred miles has been reduced to scorched earth. There are no people, no city, and no food. Before leaving, Dong Zhuo burned and looted everything here. We are temporarily occupying this place. All our food and supplies are brought from Jizhou by Governor Han. The consumption of resources is enormous.

How can it last?

Only by establishing a new emperor and using his name to command the world can the thirteen provinces of the Han Dynasty be obeyed.

With the combined strength of the entire nation, they marched westward, leading a million troops to conquer the Xiaohan Pass.

"Only then will we have the opportunity to eliminate the traitor Dong Zhuo and restore the Han Dynasty!"

Cao Cao was furious. "This is utterly wrong!"

We came here to uphold righteousness and rid the country of traitors. How could we, who rid the country of traitors, become traitors to the country?

Although Dong Zhuo has fled to Chang'an, his safety is only temporary. If you gentlemen follow my plan, Yuan Shao should lead the northern troops to Mengjin to control the strategic pass, while Gonglu should lead the southern army into Wuguan to intimidate the Guanzhong region.

With the alliance leaders and deputy leaders working together with one heart, and all the lords of the north and south following suit, the situation in the world will shift from the obedient to the rebellious, and the Han dynasty's rule can be firmly established!

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he hurriedly invited Yu She out, saying, "The previous attack on Sishui and the great victory at Xingyang were all due to Zichuan's strategy."

"You all know of Zichuan's abilities. Now, you may ask him: if Cao Cao had followed his planned strategy, could he have captured Chang'an and eliminated the traitor Dong Zhuo?"

Yu She: "..."

Seeing that all the feudal lords were looking at him, Yu She was speechless.

"Could he say that he had just secretly memorized Cao Cao's strategy? Both Wen You and Mengde were her teachers."

At this moment, he felt exactly like a disciple who was secretly reciting his teacher's words, and was called out by his teacher on the spot and asked if what his teacher said was correct.

What could Yu She say? Of course, it was:

"What Mengde said is the same as what Shelue said!"

If you gentlemen follow this plan, the elimination of the traitor Dong Zhuo will be within our grasp!

Yuan Shu also expressed his strong support for this; in short, he would support anyone who opposed Yuan Shao!

Shu Nai scoffed at Shao, saying:

"How dare a lowly concubine and her illegitimate son presume to discuss the matter of deposing and establishing an emperor?"

The treacherous minister Dong Zhuo usurped power; this is a minor threat, but we will surely capture him sooner or later.

Deposing and installing emperors, and acknowledging them as subjects facing north—this is the behavior of treacherous ministers; how can it be considered for the sake of the country!

My family has held high office for four generations, serving as ministers and officials for generations. Now that the country is in peril, I, with a loyal heart and unwavering resolve, am determined to eliminate Dong Zhuo. I know nothing else.

"And you? Born of a lowly servant, you are cowardly and of lowly status, not only lacking in gratitude but also harboring rebellious intentions. If your ancestors had spirits, they would surely curse you to the depths of the underworld."

Yuan Shao was embarrassed and angry by his scolding. He had known that Cao Cao was now colluding with Yuan Shu, so he had no intention of persuading him. He just said coldly.

"You all face west, while I face north."

He then turned and left, and began to order someone to write a letter to Liu Yu. Han Fu, Zhang Miao, Wang Kuang, Yuan Yi and others also left with him.

Upon seeing this, Gongsun Zan said to Yuan Shu, "I disagree with Liu Yu on political matters and we have many grudges. If Shao supports Yu as emperor, Youzhou will surely be thrown into turmoil."

I cannot stay any longer and must return to Youzhou immediately. The task of defeating Dong Zhuo can only be entrusted to the Vice Alliance Leader and the gentlemen.

But rest assured, although Zan is in Youzhou, he is also responding to the deputy leader's orders, coordinating efforts from the north and south, and will certainly not allow Shao's plan to succeed.

When Gongsun Zan was about to leave, Liu Bei, who was still under his command, naturally followed him. The three brothers then came to bid farewell to Yu She, and all felt reluctant to part.

When Bei and She parted, they held hands and wept. "After today's parting, I don't know when we will meet again. I am deeply grateful for Zichuan's recommendation of my brother, and I will never forget it."

If he ever encounters any trouble, he may come to me. I will prepare a warm welcome and wait for him, and I will never abandon him, even in life or death.

Guan Yu silently handed over half a scroll of bamboo slips, which contained the essence of Yu She's spear technique that he had been pondering recently.

"Time was short, and I didn't want to part ways so soon, so I didn't get to do everything I wanted."

This is just a small token of my gratitude, to express my thanks and hope that Zichuan will not abandon me.

Zhang Fei then carried over two large jars of wine, saying, "I, Old Zhang, am a rough man, so I won't say anything else."

Come on, let me drink first!

Yu She: "..."

"Are you just looking for an excuse to drink?"

Yu She was also reluctant to part with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, truly feeling a deep sense of loss.

Putting everything else aside, what will happen if he encounters Lü Bu again after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei leave?
