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

……

After reading the intelligence report from Yanzhou, Dong Zhuo saw the news that Liu Dai had led an army of a million Yellow Turbans and died instantly. He couldn't help but laugh.

"At Hulao Pass, are people like Liu Dai here to attack me?"

Li Ru pondered for a moment and said, "Right now, Yuan Shao is fighting Gongsun Zan in Youji, Yuan Shu is fighting Liu Biao in Nanyang, and Tao Qian is keeping the gates of Xuzhou tightly closed, fearing that he might get burned."

The various warlords fought their own battles, and no one could save Yanzhou from its peril.

Liu Bei led only 3,000 men to the rescue, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; he could not reverse the collapse of the dynasty. It was feared that Yanzhou would be occupied by the Yellow Turbans.

Their million-strong army, if left unchecked, will become a serious problem.

As Yu She listened to Li Ru's analysis, the memories of his past life fighting against Lü Bu alongside Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came vividly to mind. His friend Liu Bei, whom he had once served in the coalition of warlords, also did not disappoint him.

"The hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang have finally found a way to make a living, and Xuande has not disappointed me."

Because of Li Ru's plan, these hundreds of thousands of people were ultimately just the old, weak, women and children who were left over, and they were even worse off than the Yellow Turbans.

With all their might and courage, and relying on the strong walls of Luoyang, they might have a fighting chance to defend the city.

However, if they were to rush to Yanzhou for field relief, these three thousand men were probably the few combat-ready soldiers Liu Bei had managed to select.

With this in mind, he then offered his advice:

"The Yellow Turbans were rebels against the imperial court, and the feudal lords were unable to suppress them, but Liu Bei did."

The Grand Tutor could seize the opportunity to issue an imperial edict appointing Liu Bei as the Governor of Yan Province. This would allow him to serve the court in the name of the emperor, and even if the plan fails, there would be no loss.

If successful, the entire Yanzhou province could be mobilized to wipe out the million Yellow Turban rebels, which would also be a great achievement for the Grand Tutor in governing the country.

Secondly, Gongsun Zan's defeat at Jieqiao by Yuan Shao weakened his power, and he feared that he would be unable to withstand Yuan Shao's military might in the future, which could lead to Yuan Shao also gaining control of Youzhou.

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan were close friends. If Liu Bei occupied Yan Province and attacked Gongsun Zan from the rear in Ji Province, he could surely contain the rebel Yuan Shao, prevent him from growing stronger, and keep the warlords in check and incessant infighting.

Dong Zhuo then said, "Excellent."

……

After the three of them finished discussing official business, they saw that Dong Zhuo was tired and wanted to go back to his room to be with Diao Chan. He was about to wave the two of them away.

Yu She knew that if he didn't speak up soon, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to Lü Bu when he returned, so he stepped forward and spoke.

"Does the Grand Tutor lack ambition?"

Dong Zhuo: "???"

"Zichuan, what does this mean?"

Yu She then recounted Lü Bu's deeds in detail and advised him, saying:

"Diao Chan, can you fight on the battlefield for the Grand Tutor? Can you quell the rebellion for the Grand Tutor? Can you help the Grand Tutor conquer the world?"

Diao Chan couldn't, but Feng Xian could!

"The Grand Tutor is now a woman, yet he has lost the loyalty of Emperor Fengxian. Is this the behavior of someone with lofty ambitions?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo's expression immediately changed. "You rebellious son, how dare you! You dare to tease my beloved concubine and still hold a grudge? Come here and gossip in front of you, Zichuan!"

Diao Chan was offered to me by Wang Yun to curry favor with me, so how could I have taken her from him?

"You unfilial son, blinded by lust, have defamed me!"

Upon hearing this, Yu She realized something was amiss; the two sides' statements didn't match up.

He immediately frowned and said, "Grand Tutor, please calm down. There may be a misunderstanding here."

The matter of Wang Situ betrothing Diaochan to Fengxian had already been arranged. On the day of the event, Fengxian even held a banquet at his residence to celebrate with everyone, and She was also present.

Dong Zhuo was taken aback upon hearing this. "Is that so?"

Li Ru had previously advised Dong Zhuo against his obsession with Diao Chan several times, but not only did he fail, he also angered Dong Zhuo.

Seeing that Yu She's words had an immediate effect, he knew that the opportunity was rare and would not come again, so he hurriedly offered his advice.

"This must be Wang Yun's scheme to sow discord between the Grand Tutor and Fengxian!"

Moreover, during the "Broken Tassel" gathering of King Zhuang of Chu, he did not investigate Jiang Xiong, who had flirted with his beloved concubine. Later, when King Zhuang was besieged by Qin soldiers, Jiang Xiong rescued him with all his might.

Diao Chan is just a woman, while Feng Xian is the Grand Tutor and the unparalleled general.

If the Grand Tutor were to seize this opportunity to bestow the Jade upon Bu, Bu would be deeply grateful and would surely repay the Grand Tutor with his life. In that case, the plan to sow discord would fall apart on its own.

Grand Tutor, please reconsider.

"Does Zishi have the audacity to plot against me?"

Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru, then at Yu She, and seeing that both of his trusted advisors had come to persuade him on this matter, he began to waver.

"Wait a moment, I will think about it myself."

He then went alone into the inner hall, called Diaochan over, and deliberately spoke harshly and sternly to intimidate her.

"You vile woman! How dare you harm me?"

Although Diao Chan did not know the reason, she knew that she could not show weakness at this time, so she looked blankly at Dong Zhuo and pretended to be aggrieved.

"Why do you say that, Grand Tutor?"

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Dong Zhuo's heart softened somewhat, and he said to her:

"Just now Zichuan told me that Wang Yun had already betrothed you to Lü Bu, so why did you offer me up?"

Is this not sowing discord?

Diao Chan was incredibly quick-witted. Upon hearing these words, she burst into tears and uttered a string of words that flowed effortlessly from her lips.

"When did I ever promise him that? The Grand Tutor's prestige shakes the world, and he commands all officials, none of whom dare to disobey. He is a hero of our time, and who would not admire him?"

I have long admired the Grand Tutor and have already spoken with my adoptive father about my desire to submit to him.

Grand Tutor and my adoptive father are both important officials in the court. If he were to directly present me to them, it would be a great loss of face for both families.

With this in mind, the adoptive father took the family's prized pearl, inlaid it into a gold crown, and presented it to General Lü. He invited General Lü to his residence to discuss this matter and asked him to act as an intermediary to save face for both families.

Unexpectedly…

At this point, Diaochan covered her face and wept uncontrollably.

"I never imagined that General Lü... he saw that I was beautiful, so... he wanted to force me to become his concubine. He even said... he even said..."

Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard that Diao Chan had long admired him, and that Wang Yun had originally intended to offer Diao Chan to him, but Lü Bu had forcibly taken her. He immediately pressed for an explanation.

"What else is there to say?"

"I dare not speak."

"explain!!!"

He also said that the Grand Tutor was old and frail, nearing the end of his life, and could not compare to him in his youthful vigor and extraordinary prowess.

What else is there to say... He is the adopted son of the Grand Tutor, and has fought for the Grand Tutor on the battlefield, making countless contributions. He is just a woman. What's wrong with taking her as a concubine? Even if this matter is brought to the Grand Tutor's attention, in order to win him over, the Grand Tutor will surely give her to him just like he gave him the Red Hare horse.

I was determined not to comply, but how could I resist him? Fortunately, my adoptive father pretended to be nice to me and cleverly promised me to him, saying that he would send me to him on an auspicious day. Only then did General Lü give up.

Grand Tutor, please consider this! If your adoptive father sincerely wanted to give his concubine to General Lü, why would he have delayed for so long after agreeing?

Furthermore, if we accept what the Grand Tutor said, my adoptive father intends to use me to sow discord.

After promising General Lü that night, I should immediately offer myself to the Grand Tutor the next day, so as to avoid any complications if I delay, and there is no need to drag it out for so many days.

It was only because General Lü kept pressuring her after she made the promise that her adoptive father was driven to desperation and had no choice but to offer her to the Grand Tutor, disregarding all decorum.

Even now, there are still many rumors in the court mocking the adoptive father for currying favor with the Grand Tutor.

"Every word I have said is true. If the Grand Tutor does not believe me, he can simply send someone to investigate."

Diao Chan lay prostrate on the ground, weeping and pleading. She dared to speak like this and even asked Dong Zhuo to investigate.

The reason is that Wang Yun offered himself to Lü Bu that very night. Heaven and earth know this, and besides Lü Bu himself, who else can prove it?

Yes, Lü Bu could prove that Wang Yun had promised himself to him earlier, but how could he prove that he and his daughter were not coerced into it and forced into it?
