Can I get to the other side?

No one expected Lu Bu's sudden outburst.

But there is only one exception - that is Chen Gong.

Chen Gong has been following Lu Bu for many years and knows Lu Bu's temperament clearly. The moment he saw Lu Bu take the knife from Gao Shun, he could already feel the strong murderous intent in Lu Bu.

The false emperor is in danger!

There was no time to persuade, no time to think carefully. The moment before Lu Bu turned around and brandished his sword, Chen Gong flew up and kicked Emperor Xian of Han hard!

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was still in panic, was kicked by Chen Gong and tilted his body. Lu Bu's sword cut directly over his head, cutting off the emperor's crown on his head along with his hair, and then slashed hard On the pillar behind him!

There was silence.

After a moment, the large vermilion pillar that was as thick as one person's arms creaked and whined, broke into two pieces with a click, and landed heavily on the ground. The beveled surface was extremely smooth and flat.

Lu Bu actually cut off this pillar with one sword!

It is unimaginable that anyone in the world can take this knife, and who dares to take this knife, no matter who comes, they will die!

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had disheveled hair and a pale face.

He looked at Lu Bu who was holding a knife in front of him, tremblingly reached out and touched the top of his head, screamed in fear, rolled and crawled to the corner, holding his head and trembling.

"Chen Gong!!"

Lu Bu suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Gong.

His eyes were red, and he pointed at Chen Gong with the nearly useless long knife in his hand, and said sternly: "You dare to stop me from killing the false emperor? Could it be that you have voted for the false emperor!"

Lu Bu's words revealed his murderous intent.

At this time, he was already blinded by his anger. Let alone Chen Gong, even if Diao Chan dared to block him, he would kill her without fail!

A mere false emperor dared to pretend to be the emperor to deceive him, and yet he believed him and treated him respectfully as the real emperor. This was simply a great shame and humiliation!

Without killing, it would be difficult to vent his hatred!

"General, please calm down for now!"

No matter how calm Chen Gong was, he couldn't help but sweat profusely when faced with the furious Lu Bu. He knew that if he didn't answer well, Lu Bu would definitely kill him.

Looking at the blade in front of him that was only an inch away from the tip of his nose, Chen Gong forced himself to calm down and said calmly: "General, the false emperor deserves to die, but he cannot be killed by the general. He must be handed over to the emperor."

"That's nonsense!"

Lu Bu was furious and glared at Chen Gong, "This fake emperor is pretending to be the emperor. Everyone can find it and kill him! Why should your majesty bother you!"

"If you don't kill him now, will you leave him alone to cause trouble?"

The pseudo-emperor in front of him is not of the same nature as Yuan Shu and his ilk. Yuan Shu can be kept and sent to the emperor to deal with, but keeping this pseudo-emperor will be a big disaster!

Chen Gong shook his head, walked to Lu Bu under Lu Bu's gloomy gaze, and whispered to him in a low voice: "General, this false emperor looks very similar to His Majesty, they are exactly the same. Don't you think there is something fishy, ​​General?"

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "There are so many people who look alike in the world! What's so weird! This guy is just lucky enough to look the same as your Majesty!"

"It would be fine if he didn't fall into the hands of this general, but if there is a way to heaven, he won't take it, and if there is no door to hell, he will break in!"

"He dares to come here to deceive me, general. How can we keep him here?"

What Lu Bu hated most in his life was that someone had deceived him. This false emperor pretended to be the emperor and deceived him. He immediately touched his two reverse scales. How could he endure this?

"General, calm down and listen to me first."

Chen Gong continued to persuade patiently, and continued to whisper in a low voice: "There is a secret about the palace, has the general heard of it?"

Lu Bu said impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it, why bother!"

Normally, he could still talk to Chen Gong in a friendly manner, but right now he was really not in the mood. He could no longer restrain his murderous intention to chop off the head of the false emperor.

Chen Gong glanced at Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and said quietly: "The general may not know that twins are not allowed to appear in the palace."

"It is said that there are no two days in the sky. This is regarded as an ominous sign. Therefore, if the concubine gives birth to twins, one of them will be drowned and the other will be left alone."

"There are indeed many people who look alike in the world, but people who look exactly the same are extremely rare, especially those who look exactly the same as the emperor."

"So I guess that this false emperor is most likely a twin brother of His Majesty, but Beauty Wang did not have the heart to kill him after giving birth to him, so he lived among the people and was eventually found to pretend to be the emperor."

"Even if he is not a twin brother, he may still have royal blood, or he may not be the illegitimate son of the late emperor... So General, do you understand?"

Chen Gongcong's tone was filled with worry.

He originally thought that the false emperor and the emperor were just similar in appearance, but when they met today, he discovered that they were more than just similar, they were exactly the same!

If Gao Shun hadn't asked those soldiers about his origins, he might not have been able to tell that he was a false emperor in a short period of time.

He was so similar that he didn't believe it at all if he said it had nothing to do with the emperor.

That's why such a bold guess came up.

"His Majesty's twin brother?"

Lu Bu's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look down at the familiar face of the unconscious Emperor Xian of Han, feeling shocked and uncertain in his heart.

They look... indeed exactly the same.

Chen Gong continued: "If he is really of Han Dynasty blood, you, general, have no right to deal with him. He must be handed over to your majesty. This is why I stopped the general from killing him."

Outsiders have no right to deal with the Han Dynasty bloodline.

When Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, he held the envoy Duan Xun hostage and asked him to kill Liu Yu in the name of Liu Yu's false title, but he didn't dare to do it himself.

This is just a relative of the Han Dynasty.

Even the death of the deposed emperor Liu Bian, Dong Zhuo only forced him to commit suicide. Because killing the blood of the Han Dynasty with his own hands has a very bad impact, it is bound to be unanimously hostile and resisted by the relatives.

Even if Lu Bu is valued by the emperor and has enough reasons to kill the false emperor, as long as he kills the blood of the clan, he will definitely be targeted, because it is not something that he, an outsider, is qualified to do.

As for how to target... Let's not talk about anything else. If Lu Lingqi wants to be the queen and her son wants to be the prince, the resistance will certainly double.

Lu Bu's reputation is not good to begin with.

It really can't add to his bad reputation.

Moreover, this false emperor may not only be a blood of the Han Dynasty, but may be the brother of the emperor, so he can't be killed. After all, who knows how the emperor intends to deal with him, and whether he knows about the existence of this twin brother?

After listening to Chen Gong's analysis, although Lu Bu still felt unwilling, he finally gave up the idea of ​​killing Emperor Xian of Han.

Chen Gong breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Lu Bu would go back on his word, and hurriedly said to Gao Shun: "General Gao, quickly take the fake emperor away, take good care of him, and don't let anything go wrong! Take him to Yecheng on a certain day and hand him over to His Majesty for disposal."

"Yes!"

Gao Shun came back to his senses and clasped his fists heavily.

Then he led people to carry up the frightened Emperor Xian of Han, and was about to take him away with Dong Cheng.

"Wait a minute!"

At this time, Lu Bu suddenly called Gao Shun, and then came to Emperor Xian of Han with a gloomy face, grabbed his collar, and punched him three times in the face!

"I! I! I! You dog-footed I!"

"Today, I will teach you a lesson! See if you dare to pretend to be the emperor again!"

Although Lü Bu did not kill him, his strength was not light. He punched Emperor Xian of Han with three punches, and he was beaten black and blue. He fainted without a groan.

After these three punches, Lü Bu finally vented his anger and asked Gao Shun to take him away. At the same time, he turned around and strode out of the banquet hall.

He also had to deal with the remnants of the army outside the city that followed the fake emperor.

...

Youzhou, Yicheng.

The governor's mansion.

Yuan Shao sat on the tiger-skin chair that originally belonged to Gongsun Zan with high spirits, and started a new round of parliament with a group of counselors and generals.

The theme of the parliament was how to take Ji County (Beiping).

Once Ji County was conquered, the entire Youzhou would fall into Yuan Shao's hands.

He himself also swept away the haze of the previous loss of soldiers and generals in Yecheng, raised the wine bottle and said:

"Everyone, follow me and drink this cup!"

After drinking the wine in the cup, Yuan Shao said again: "Ji County now has only 10,000 remnants, and these 10,000 remnants are all soldiers who are not good at defending the city. As long as the food and grass are replenished, I will gather the troops and conquer it in an instant."

He is back, the once confident general is back.

Yan Liang, Yuan Tan, Guo Yuan and others are all eager to make great achievements again.

Yuan Tan was the first to stand up and said: "Father, I am willing to be the vanguard in this battle."

"Good!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed and looked at Yuan Tan with appreciation, "My son has always led the way in battle and should be a role model for other generals."

"You will be the vanguard in this battle, Yan Liang will be the main general, Qu Yi will be the deputy general, and Yuan Hao will be the chief strategist."

Yuan Tan, Yan Liang, and Qu Yi all accepted the order with joy on their faces.

Only Tian Feng frowned and did not accept the order, as if he did not agree with Yuan Shao's battle deployment.

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng and asked in confusion: "Does Yuan Hao have any objections?"

Tian Feng nodded, stood up and bowed, saying: "My lord, Gongsun Zan has asked Zhang Yan for help before, but we have not received any news from the Black Mountain Army so far.

Although Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army is mixed in the mountains and forests and does not occupy any city, it must not be underestimated.

At present, the lord has taken three counties in Youzhou, and the top priority is to occupy other counties in Youzhou.

In this way, once our army arrives at the city of Ji County, Ji County will be surrounded, and even if Zhang Yan's army comes to help, it will not play any role.

In addition, although Ji County's troops are not large, the city is very strong, second only to Yicheng. Feng believes that this battle can besieged, not attacked. After three months of siege, Ji County will be conquered."

Yuan Shao heard this, and his face, which was originally full of joy, sank directly.

Since conquering Yicheng, his army has conquered every place it has passed.

He now only wants to take Jixian as quickly as possible, and then lead his troops to attack Yecheng.

But Tian Feng's words were completely opposite to what he thought in his heart.

Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "Three months, winter will come in three months. How can this general have time to waste these three months with Gongsun Xu!"

"As for the Black Mountain Army, it is just a group of Yellow Turban bandits roaming in Taihang Mountain. Even if Zhang Yan has ten courage, would he dare to be an enemy of this general?"

"If he sends troops to help, this general will overturn the entire Taihang Mountain and kill him!"

"Yuan Tan, Yan Liang, Qu Yi, reorganize the troops of each department, and send troops to Jixian in three days!"

Seeing that Yuan Shao was determined to do it, Tian Feng immediately stiffened his neck and said loudly: "My lord, think twice!"

"Gongsun Zan is dead. How can Zhang Yan not be jealous of such a large Youzhou? If the lord insists on doing it, Zhang Yan will definitely come to help! Once the lord is entangled by Zhang Yan, Qingzhou and even Bingzhou will be at risk of being lost!"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao's face became more and more ugly.

At this time, Yan Liang was also dissatisfied with Tian Feng's siege plan and said: "Yuan Hao's words are too alarmist. Tell me, how can Qingzhou and Bingzhou be at risk of being lost?"

Tian Feng said: "Lü Bu is loyal to the emperor, how could he not see that my lord is determined to win Yecheng? If my lord is restrained by Zhang Yan, how could Lü Bu not send troops to Qingzhou and rush to aid Yecheng!"

"Although Qingzhou has an army of 10,000 people, but there is no eldest son in charge, how can it resist Lu Bu's tiger and wolf army?"

"Bingzhou currently only has 10,000 defenders. If Han Sui or Ma Teng invade, will Bingzhou be able to defend it?"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's face suddenly froze.

It's not like he hasn't considered Tian Feng's worries.

But Yecheng has become his nightmare.

If the war in Youzhou is not resolved quickly and he returns to Yecheng, he will always feel uneasy in his heart.

The emperor of Yecheng, he still can't be 100% sure whether it is true or false.

But he couldn't talk to Tian Feng about this concern, and no one could help him make suggestions on this matter.

Yuan Shao opened his mouth and decided to adopt a compromise method.

"Yuan Hao, why not..."

"Lord!" Tian Feng couldn't see Yuan Shao's plan, so he interrupted him and shouted loudly:

"I know that my lord is eager to return to Yecheng, but the top priority is to annex all the cities in Youzhou except Jixian, not to conquer Jixian in a hurry for quick success.

In addition, the eldest son should also be ordered to go back to guard Qingzhou, and General Guo Yuan should be ordered to lead 10,000 troops to join the state.

Otherwise, once Zhang Yan, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Lu Bu or even Cao Cao invade, and the five armies advance together, the lord will lose everything! "

Tian Feng's voice echoed in the meeting hall of the Prefecture.

Yuan Shao's face turned completely pale.

Yuan Tan, Yan Liang and others all looked at their noses and hearts without daring to say a word.

Although they thought Tian Feng's advice was too conservative, they also admired him.

Among the people here, he was the only one who dared not to sway Yuan Shao's face and dare to confront Yuan Shao.

In the main seat, Yuan Shao's face turned blue and purple, and his chest heaved violently. He was obviously angry with Tian Feng.

If you make suggestions, then make suggestions. Why should you refute your master in public?

How can there be such a counselor in the world?

After a long time, out of confusion about returning to Yecheng, Yuan Shao flicked his sleeves and said with a cold face:

"Our army has been invincible during this period. It is a time when morale is high. How can we be afraid of this?"

"Guo Yuan led 10,000 troops to guard Bingzhou. Yuan Tan led 5,000 troops to guard Qingzhou."

"The rest of the people, follow my general and take Jixian directly!"

After that, he turned around and walked out of the meeting hall.

However, Tian Feng was obviously not satisfied with Yuan Shao's compromise decision and shouted at his back:

"My lord, do you want to destroy the hard-earned foundation?"

Yuan Shao paused, but did not look back. Instead, he quickened his pace to leave, pretending not to hear what Tian Feng said.

Yuan Tan, Yan Liang and others looked at each other and felt that there was nothing wrong with Yuan Shao's compromise decision. On the contrary, they thought that Tian Feng was too high-minded about Zhang Yan, the yellow turban leader.

Everyone crossed Tian Feng and left the meeting hall one after another to carry out the orders issued by Yuan Shao.

Tian Feng was the only one, still shouting on the spot:

"Although the soldiers under Zhang Yan's command are poor and good, they still have an army of nearly 100,000!"

"He has been active since the Yellow Turban Rebellion and has not been wiped out for fifteen years, which shows that he is by no means an ordinary person."

"Master, if you don't listen to my advice, you will regret it sooner or later!"

Hearing these words, Yuan Shao, who was about to reach the corner, finally couldn't help it anymore and turned around suddenly: "I am the general!"
