Your Majesty, please spare Diao Chan; your yang energy is too strong.

"Hmph, Liu Bei is nothing but a stray dog. How dare he bark at me, Lü Bu?"

"If it weren't for my kindness in giving him a place to recuperate, he would probably be dead by now."

How dare Liu Bei repay kindness with enmity?

"Besides, Xiaopei is mine too. When did it become Liu Bei's territory?"

Lu Bu said disdainfully.

Having just captured Xuzhou, they are now about to avenge their great humiliation.

Lu Bu was naturally full of pride and arrogance, so how could he possibly take a mere Liu Bei seriously?

"As for Yuan Shu, if he dares to obstruct us, then I will join forces with Liu Bei today and at worst defeat him first. Ji Ling doesn't have the guts to do that."

Lü Bu also stayed in Xuzhou for quite some time.

He naturally knew what Yuan Shu was thinking.

They dared not offend both him and Liu Bei at the same time.

Now that he and Liu Bei are like oil and water, Ji Ling would never dare to offend him again.

After all, if he and Liu Bei were to unite...

Then it won't be Yuan Shu attacking Xuzhou anymore.

Instead, they were planning a counterattack on Guangling.

During this period, the other party had been trying to win him over by sending him money and food.

He even wanted to marry his own daughter.

He flatly refused.

Now, it's just a matter of crossing the line and taking a small Zhou Heng.

Even Ji Ling dared not make a move.

Gao Shun hesitated: "But... even so, what if Zhou Heng still has an ambush, or seeks help from Liu Bei and Yuan Shu? I'm afraid it would be disadvantageous for our army..."

“Ambush troops? Where did the ambush troops come from? Zhou Heng’s 10,000-strong army was utterly defeated by us before, and the 5,000 ambushers that appeared later were also utterly defeated by us.”

"Zhou Heng only had 15,000 troops in total, and now they have all been defeated. Where would he find an ambush force?"

"As for Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, I said they wouldn't make a move, and they won't."

"They don't have the guts to offend me, Lü Bu, for the sake of a mere Zhou Heng."

Lu Bu said unhappily.

Gao Shun hesitated, then said, "But..."

"But what?"

"Now Zhou Heng's army has suffered a crushing defeat, and all his troops have been exhausted. Now he only has the old, weak, sick and disabled left."

"Without any fighting capability, what ambush could there be?"

"Gao Shun, what is the reason for you repeatedly obstructing our lord's revenge?"

"Could it be that you, like that traitor Zhang Liao, also have the idea of ​​seeking refuge elsewhere?"

This time, it wasn't Lü Bu who spoke, but Hou Cheng.

Seeing that Lü Bu was displeased, Hou Cheng was overjoyed and immediately jumped out again to speak.

I already said that before.

Hou Cheng originally thought he could kill Zhang Liao, but Gao Shun stopped him.

So he hated Gao Shun as well.

Seeing that the other party had made the same mistake as Zhang Liao, which displeased Lü Bu, he was overjoyed.

Without saying a word, they dumped a bucket of shit on Gao Shenshun's head.

Even if we can't bring him down, it's still good to annoy him.

"Nonsense! Hou Cheng, you slandered Wen Yuan before, and now you're slandering me? What makes you think that?"

Gao Shun's eyes were filled with rage.

I had previously spoken out against the injustice done to Zhang Liao.

Now that something like this had happened to him again, he was immediately enraged.

His gaze was filled with murderous intent as he looked at the other person.

Such a treacherous villain has repeatedly framed us; we must have the chance to execute him.

"Whether you're slandering someone or not, you know perfectly well in your heart."

"Gao Shun, if I remember correctly, you and Zhang Liao were very close friends."

"So, you've gone to such lengths to obstruct our lord's pursuit, could it be that you, like that traitor Zhang Liao, have defected to Zhou Heng?"

"Otherwise, why would you repeatedly try to stop your lord when you already have the prize in your hands?"

Hou Cheng sneered.

His words were undeniably venomous.

It should be noted that Lü Bu was a very suspicious person, and the previous incident involving Zhang Liao had already made him very unhappy.

How could Lü Bu not be suspicious after Hou Cheng's words?

It was because Zhang Liao was quite close to Gao Shun in Lü Bu's camp.

Sure enough, as soon as Hou Cheng finished speaking, Lü Bu's eyes turned cold instantly.

"Nonsense! How dare this villain repeatedly slander me?"

Gao Shunqi's eyes were practically spitting fire.

If Lu Bu hadn't been there, he would have rushed over and chopped off the other man's head.

"General Gao Shun, don't get agitated! The innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will remain guilty. I believe our lord will make a wise decision," Hou Cheng said with a half-smile.

"Am I excited?" Gao Shun asked excitedly, his eyes practically spitting fire.

"Hehe... Yes, yes, General Gao is not agitated. General Gao is just close to that villain Zhang Liao. He has absolutely no connection with Zhang Liao. He pleaded for Zhang Liao before only because of his colleagues. Now he is doing everything he can to stop the lord from pursuing him. It is definitely not to let the tiger return to the mountain. I think he is just worried about the lord's safety."

"You..." Gao Shun was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although the other party seemed to be speaking up for him, their sarcastic tone clearly indicated that they were mocking him.

What's most despicable is that he specifically suggested letting the tiger return to the mountain, and he also specifically mentioned his relationship with Zhang Liao.

It's easy to imagine how these words would sound if they reached Lü Bu's ears.

I'm afraid any normal person would have some doubts!

How could he not hate this?

But there was simply no way to solve it.

Because Lu Bu is right there.

If he goes too far, it will only make Lü Bu more convinced that he has joined Zhou Heng along with Zhang Liao.

Because he knew Lü Bu's character too well.

The more you argue, the more he'll believe that's what you did.

But now, if he doesn't argue, he can't clear his name of the misunderstanding.

How can we not be anxious?

Seeing Lu Bu's face, which was as cold as frost, made his heart sink even further.

"My lord, this is all a frame-up by Hou Cheng. I swear to God, there is absolutely no truth to it..."

Gao Shun was speechless and unable to defend himself.

"Alright, with a formidable enemy at hand, how can you argue like children in front of the army? Let's leave this matter here and not discuss it again."

Lu Bu forced a smile and waved his hand.

"However, Hou Cheng is not wrong. After all, you are close friends with Zhang Liao. In order to avoid suspicion, we will temporarily take back the command of the Trapped Camp and let Wei Xu lead it. We will discuss all matters after the investigation is completed."

"Yes," Hou Cheng said with a smile.

I silently gave myself a thumbs up, and then I took down another one.

However, compared to the happy Hou Cheng, Gao Shun's face was full of disbelief.

It's important to know that he's different from Zhang Liao; he's followed Lü Bu through thick and thin since he joined the army.

So many years of relationship, and several near-death experiences.
