The Three Kingdoms: General Yu She, reincarnated a hundred times.
Chapter 77 Can someone like Bei really achieve great things?
……
Seeing Liu Bei stop, Zhang Fei couldn't help but wonder.
"Hey bro, what are you standing there for? Let's go!"
Guan Yu also advised, "General Gongsun has always treated my elder brother with kindness and respect, so he probably won't make things difficult for you."
Liu Bei remained silent for a long time, raising his eyes to gaze at the setting sun on the horizon, which painted half the sky red.
The sunset glow shone on his face, and he suddenly asked, "Second brother, third brother, do you think someone like me can really achieve great things?"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were stunned for a moment. Before they could answer, Liu Bei had already let out a long sigh of relief and strode into Gongsun Zan's camp with his head held high.
When Gongsun Zan heard that Liu Bei had arrived, he hurriedly got up to greet him. His face was initially filled with joy, but then he seemed to remember something.
His joy immediately turned to sorrow. "Xuande, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that my camp is running low on supplies, and I'm truly powerless to do so..."
However, Liu Bei waved his hand this time, his face solemn, and asked the question.
"Bo Gui may take Luoyang to seize control of the central plains."
Gongsun Zan's expression immediately changed. "What do you mean by that, Xuande?"
"Now the Han dynasty is in turmoil, the traitor Dong Zhuo has kidnapped the emperor, wreaked havoc on the court, caused immense suffering to the people, and brought misery to Luoyang to this day."
Luoyang is now in the hands of the allied forces. If Bo Gui does not take it, it will surely be taken by the feudal lords.
The feudal lords were all scheming and self-serving, claiming to uphold righteousness but harboring selfish desires. They were called Han officials, but in reality, they were traitors to Han!
When it comes to opposing Dong, they back down; when it comes to dividing the spoils, they rush to do so; when it comes to helping the people, they shirk responsibility; and when it comes to enriching themselves, they swarm in.
How can such cowardly people accomplish anything? If Luoyang falls into the hands of the feudal lords, how can the Han dynasty prosper, and what hope is there for the world?
Rather than that, it would be better for Bo Gui to take it. You and I, brothers, can work together with one heart and one mind to restore order to the nation and bring peace to the world.
"Hiss~ I have also pondered what Xuande said for a long time."
"I lament that my forces are all based in Youzhou, which is too far away to be of any help. Even if I were to capture Luoyang, it would be difficult to hold it. Therefore, I have not engaged in conflict with the other warlords."
Liu Bei laughed, "My foundation is now in Luoyang! If Bo Gui takes Luoyang, I am willing to defend it for you, obey all your orders, and none will dare to disobey."
"With you and me, from north to south, supporting each other, and brothers of one mind, great things can be expected, and great undertakings will surely succeed."
Gongsun Zan carefully examined Liu Bei and thought to himself that if Liu Bei stayed in Luoyang and occupied the heart of the Central Plains for him, the north and south could coordinate their efforts, which would be of great benefit whether he marched south from Youzhou or fought against other warlords.
He nodded and said, "If that's the case, what plan should we devise?"
"Robbing grain!"
Liu Bei's face was half-lit and half-shadowed by the candlelight in the tent, and he uttered two words in a low voice.
"Robbing grain?"
Gongsun Zan was naturally alarmed. Dong Zhuo had already fled to Chang'an; whose grain was he going to rob? And whose grain could he possibly rob?
"The plan to seize grain has been carefully considered and planned for a long time; Bo Gui, do not doubt it."
Liu Bei then explained to Gongsun Zan in detail, "The current feudal lords are like a disorganized bunch, holding banquets and fighting endlessly every day. They are nothing but a rabble."
Last time, Yu She and Lü Bu led three thousand cavalry and were able to break through the enemy's camp.
Now, Bo Gui has 7,000 White Horse Cavalry under his command, and my three brothers are also generals. If we take advantage of the lords' unpreparedness and trample their camps, how could we be inferior to Dong Zhuo?
Tonight we will launch a night raid on the allied forces' granaries, seizing all their grain and supplies in Luoyang, and then take over the defenses of Luoyang to defend against the other warlords.
Upon hearing Liu Bei's plan, Gongsun Zan felt a chill run down his spine.
"Such a betrayal of the allies—what if the feudal lords unite to attack?"
Liu Bei laughed, "They can't even join forces to fight Dong Zhuo, so how can they talk about forming an alliance?"
Even if they raise an army to attack, then let's see whose swords are sharper.
Bo Gui, do not worry. The hundreds of thousands of people in the city are willing to die for you and me after just one full meal. Luoyang is a city with high walls and thick walls, so what do we have to fear from the feudal lords?
Moreover, since we have seized the allied forces' supplies, the alliance will disintegrate and collapse within days.
"Alas! Mengde first advocated righteousness, and we all came to fight against Dong Zhuo. In the past, we made an alliance at Suanzao and swore an oath with blood. How heroic and passionate we were!"
"I never imagined that Cao Cao would be dead, and that the allied forces would have ended up like this."
Gongsun Zan had been persuaded by Liu Bei, and only thought of the past, so he couldn't help but sigh with regret, but Liu Bei just laughed coldly.
"If they had even a fraction of the will to save the Han dynasty, how could things have come to this?"
"Indeed, rather than joining forces with these scoundrels, why don't we brothers work together to restore the Han Dynasty!"
The two had already made their plans and were preparing for the opportune moment.
……
In the dead of night, when the feudal lords were completely unprepared, the sound of horses' hooves broke through the camps and the shouts of battle echoed across the fields.
Everywhere was ablaze with the light of burning camps, and cries of "Enemy attack!" echoed incessantly. How familiar this scene was!
But this reminded the feudal lords of the fear they felt when Yu She trampled through enemy camps and Lü Bu killed several feudal lords.
For a time, most of them retreated to their fortified villages, doing their best to protect themselves and daring not to go out to fight.
Yuan Shao was shocked upon hearing this news. An enemy attack?
Where did the enemy attack come from?
Dong Zhuo has already retreated to Chang'an and is hiding there. How can they possibly attack?
As he hastily mustered his troops to meet the attack, he saw the White Horse Cavalry rushing in. The three leading generals were a man with a double-edged sword, arms that reached past his knees, a man with a Green Dragon Blade and a face as red as a date, and a man with an eighteen-foot spear, their roars like thunder.
Wherever the three went, they were almost invincible.
"Gongsun Bogui, how dare you!"
Yuan Shao cursed loudly, but then he saw Gongsun Zan charging towards him with a spear in the distance. "We came here to uphold the Han Dynasty and save the people, but Yuan Shao, you have disobeyed the imperial decree for disaster relief and abandoned the people of Luoyang."
This is a blatant defiance of the emperor's edict; how is it any different from the traitor Dong Zhuo?
"Today, Zan has rid the country of a traitor, having been ordered to punish the rebels!"
Yuan Shao: "???"
"That damned traitor Dong Zhuo forged an imperial edict! He himself looted all the grain in Luoyang, and then ordered us to provide disaster relief—what kind of logic is that?"
But Gongsun Zan is already at war with him, so this explanation doesn't make sense.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao had few capable warriors when the allied forces faced Hua Xiong and Lü Bu, so he had already transferred Yan Liang, and now was the perfect time.
He then ordered Yan Liang to go into battle, and said to him:
"That man with a two-foot-long beard and a face like a red date is Guan Yu! He beheaded Hua Xiong at Sishui Pass."
With a leopard's head and piercing eyes, a swallow's chin and a tiger's beard, that's Zhang Fei! He fought Lü Bu at Hulao Pass.
Both of these men are formidable warriors of our time and should not be underestimated. In your opinion, do you have the confidence to lead them into battle?
Yan Liang proudly raised his head, glanced sideways at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and said, "These scoundrels are nothing more than targets for sale."
"I am willing to go into the midst of ten thousand troops, take the heads of these two men, and present them to my lord."
"good!"
Why was Yuan Shao not overjoyed? Then, in an instant, he was filled with grief!
Yan Liang went into battle, but was immediately killed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Yuan Shao's army, which had originally been able to resist Zan's army, was shocked and terrified, and immediately collapsed.
Meanwhile, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, relying on their White Horse Cavalry, displayed their courage for a moment, but feared the combined might of the allied forces. Taking advantage of the lords' unpreparedness, they plundered grain and supplies and then hurriedly retreated to Luoyang with Gongsun Zan, defending the city and distributing grain to the people.
When Yuan Shao regrouped and mobilized the allied forces to come and punish Liu Bei, he was met with hundreds of thousands of people in the city who were united in their hatred of the enemy, ready to die for Liu Bei, and willing to repay him with their lives.
……
Not long after, in Chang'an.
Upon hearing that the allied forces of the feudal lords had turned against each other, Dong Zhuo brought along his generals Yu She and Lü Bu to join the officials for a banquet.
