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

……

On that day, all the officials came to Dong Zhuo's mansion for a banquet, and they all nodded and nodded, not daring to speak loudly.

A short while later, Dong Zhuo arrived first, followed by two generals on either side. One of them, holding a halberd, looked like a god and exuded great power; it was none other than Lü Bu.

The other man, though dressed in armor, had delicate features and a gentle, refined appearance; he seemed more like a scholar than a military general.

Among the officials, some had already met him in Luoyang, while others were seeing him for the first time, yet all of them had heard of his great name, which was renowned far and wide.

Yu Zichuan's strategy is flawless!

Thinking of how this traitor helped Dong Zhuo repeatedly defeat the allied forces of the feudal lords, and how he used every means to aid and abet the tyrant and occupy a high position.

He was also the mastermind behind the emperor's forced relocation of the capital to Chang'an, a journey marked by hardship and displacement.

The officials truly hated him with a passion, but with Dong Zhuo above them, they dared not show it. They could only lower their heads and bow to Dong Zhuo.

At that time, Dong Zhuo sat high in the main seat, and all the officials below bowed their heads. His power was overwhelming and unparalleled!

After the officials had paid their respects, Dong Zhuo smiled and spoke.

"Gentlemen, listen up!"

Those eighteen warlords were all a motley crew. First, Zichuan, along with my son Fengxian, led only three thousand men and utterly defeated their army of hundreds of thousands, killing three warlords in succession.

The treacherous general Cao Cao, with his ambitions blatantly obvious, dared to pursue me after I moved the capital. He was ambushed at Zhongzichuan and executed on the spot, his head hanging above the gate of Weiyang Palace.

All of you are welcome to go and see for yourselves. Anyone who harbors disloyal thoughts and stirs up trouble will be just like this traitor, and will be executed without mercy!

Most of the officials had already received advance notice of these events, but hearing them from Dong Zhuo again still terrified them.

It is a pity that this traitor has been aided by Yu She, and they are now in cahoots, like tigers with wings. Even the coalition of eighteen princes could not withstand them. When will the emperor be saved, and when will the world be restored to peace?

However, Dong Zhuo's next words plunged them into utter despair.

He continued, "As for the remaining fourteen vassal states, they are nothing but a source of ridicule and are not worth worrying about."

As Zichuan had predicted, they had fallen into his trap of killing three warriors with two peaches and were now fighting endlessly for the city of Luoyang.

According to the latest military report, Gongsun Zan defected overnight, turned against Yuan Shao, seized Luoyang, and confronted the other warlords.

Shao was furious and led his troops to attack Luoyang. He failed to capture it after half a month, and the feudal lords ran out of food and dispersed.

Yuan Shu returned to Nanyang, Yuan Shao retreated to Hanoi, and Gongsun Zan left Liu Bei to guard Luoyang while he led his troops back to Youzhou. His memorial recommending Liu Bei as the Governor of Henan has now been sent to me.

The eighteen warlords are now either dead or scattered, fragmented and disorganized, and are hardly a cause for concern.

"The allied forces have disbanded?"

Upon hearing these words, how could the officials not be filled with fear and trepidation?

When I heard that the eighteen warlords had joined forces to fight against Dong Zhuo and restore the Han Dynasty, I was filled with anticipation. Now, I am filled with sorrow.

Currently, Dong Zhuo has seized power, wreaked havoc on the court, imposed harsh laws and punishments, and fabricated charges against officials. Every official lives in fear and trembles with anxiety.

Every day, they could only hope that Yuan Shao, who commanded the allied forces of the warlords, would soon come to Chang'an, rescue the emperor, restore order to the country, and give the scholars and officials a bright and just future.

As a result, Yuan Shao was defeated, and the coalition of the eighteen warlords was torn apart and collapsed.

Because of Yu She's plan to move the capital, the feudal lords fought amongst themselves and killed each other in the struggle for Luoyang. How insidious and treacherous that was!

It is a pity that this traitor, despite possessing the strategies of Marquis Liu, chose to serve a national traitor, causing our great Han Dynasty to be plunged into darkness.

The officials were already filled with gloom, but they still had to force smiles and bow and scrape to Dong Zhuo, offering their flattery and congratulations.

"A little rebellion is nothing to worry about."

This is truly Heaven's help to the Grand Tutor! The nation is fortunate, and the Han Dynasty is fortunate indeed!

"You are all important officials of the court. As long as you remain loyal, you will be able to enjoy wealth and honor throughout your lives."

As Dong Zhuo spoke, he looked at the officials, his gaze growing cold. "Now that I've said the good things, let's talk about the bad."

He raised his hand to signal Lü Bu to arrest the man, and right there at the banquet, Lü Bu dragged Zhang Wen, the Minister of Works, from among the officials and brought him down from the hall.

Everyone turned pale.

Before long, a servant brought a red platter and presented it to Zhang Wen.

The officials were utterly disoriented.

Dong Zhuo nodded in satisfaction and reassured everyone, "Gentlemen, do not be alarmed."

Yuan Shu allied with Zhang Wen, plotting to harm me. He sent a letter to Chang'an, but mistakenly left it with my son, Fengxian.

Therefore, he was beheaded.

"Gentlemen, there is no need for alarm. We will continue our feast."

The officials nodded in agreement, daring not to utter a word.

The scene before them astonished not only the officials but also Yu She, who was standing to the side of Dong Zhuo.

"Yuan Shu sent a letter to Chang'an, and even conspired with Zhang Wen to harm Dong Zhuo."

As the peerless general of my former lord, how could such a thing happen? How come I didn't know about it?

Given Yuan Shu's trust in me in my previous life, and his insistence on consulting me on all important matters, would it be necessary for him to keep it a secret if he wanted to join forces with Zhang Wen to harm Dong Zhuo?

There's no reason for that! Why would he need to come to me for something as secret as stealing the imperial seal? What would he have to hide about something like that?

They even sent a letter to Zhang Wen, but it was mistakenly delivered to Lü Bu instead.

Don't smear it, okay?

Although my old lord doesn't seem very smart, he's not that stupid either. Are the people he sent blind or deaf?

The Zhang and Lü mansions are so big in front of the gate, but I just can't see them?

So, Dong Zhuo, you must have a grudge against this Zhang Wen, right?

Thinking of this, Yu She knew that Zhang Wen must be innocent, but whether Dong Zhuo was seeking personal revenge or trying to intimidate the officials, he could not undermine him at this time. So he simply lowered his eyes and remained silent.

However, this matter is not over yet. Just as the officials were terrified and uneasy because of Zhang Wen's affair, several hundred surrendered soldiers from the north arrived.

Dong Zhuo immediately ordered that at the banquet, some of them have their hands and feet cut off, some have their ears and eyes gouged out, some have their tongues cut out, and some be boiled in a large pot.

The cries of anguish shook the heavens, a tragedy beyond description, and all the officials trembled and dropped their chopsticks.

Dong Zhuo, however, ate and chatted as if nothing was amiss, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you gentlemen touch your chopsticks?"

The officials were almost nauseous.

……

"Could one person be so cruel?"

The bloody scene before him was too much for Yu She to bear, so he asked Dong Zhuo for permission to use the restroom, which Dong Zhuo granted.

She left the banquet in a disheveled state, like a defeated army fleeing. In his haste, he passed by the garden and just then something darted out from the corridor. Before he could react, he heard a scream!

"Meow~!"

Yu She was also startled. He looked closely and saw that its fur was pure white, as white as snow. It turned out to be a domestic raccoon. When it darted over, he had accidentally stepped on its tail. It was now arching its back and its fur was standing on end.

Tanuki: "(/Puff!)"

Yu She saw that it was beautiful and was about to reach out to comfort it when he heard hurried footsteps behind him, as if someone was chasing after him, panting.

She had clearly heard the white fox's scream and cried out in alarm.

"How dare you!"

Who dares to be so audacious? I'll have Grandpa sentence you to death!

Yu She: "???"
