Chapter 732

"They might even threaten the safety of our rear and our families at any time!"

Yuan Shao frowned: "I didn't expect Zhang Fei to be so powerful?"

"What kind of dog-shit luck did Liu Bei have to have two such powerful sworn brothers?"

Yuan Shao was also distressed, not knowing how to handle the Zhang Fei problem. He thought of the incompetent Guo Tu and glared at him: "Guo Tu, you handled this poorly, causing Zhang Fei to threaten our rear. What crime should you be charged with?"

"Ah, this..."

Guo Tu was startled and hurriedly argued: "My Lord! I do have fault in this matter; I underestimated Zhang Fei's strength!"

"But I did my best!"

"I sent 5,000 armored soldiers to surround and suppress Zhang Fei; this is already the strongest force we can muster!"

"Any more would be inappropriate!"

"I didn't expect Zhang Fei to be so powerful!"

"But doesn't this just prove even more that Liu Bei deserved to die?"

"Hmm?"

Yuan Shao raised an eyebrow: "How so?"

Guo Tu, seeing Yuan Shao attracted by his words, explained: "Think about it, My Lord! Zhang Fei is clearly so powerful, not even worse than Especially Guan Yu Yu, yet Liu Bei never mentioned him, and had no intention of letting Zhang Fei serve you, My Lord!"

"Even when you were going to punish him because Especially Guan Yu Yu killed your generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he was still like this!"

"This shows that he harbored evil intentions and was never truly defecting to you, My Lord. He just wanted to use you to deal with Cao Cao, to avenge himself, and also to sit back and watch you and Cao Cao fight to the death, so he could reap the benefits in the chaos!"

"It cannot be ruled out that he would backstab you then and seize your foundation!"

Guo Tu's thoughts became clearer as he spoke, and he felt more and more that what he said made sense...

He even felt that Liu Bei was absolutely ill-intentioned, just as he said.

Otherwise, how could you explain the Zhang Fei matter?

You could say Especially Guan Yu Yu was separated and fooled by Cao Cao.

But what about Zhang Fei?

Did you really think a mere excuse of mourning could fool the world?

What were you doing before?

When you were the King of Qi in Xuzhou, why didn't you let Zhang Fei come back to mourn his father?

You know, Zhang Fei's father had died long ago when Liu Bei was still in Xuzhou.

"That's true!" Yuan Shao felt Guo Tu's words made sense and was successfully led astray by him.

Xu You, seeing this, felt it was bad and immediately spoke: "My Lord! Guo Tu is arguing sophistry! We are not discussing whether Liu Bei deserved to die or if he harbored evil intentions!"

"Anyway, Liu Bei is already dead; whether he harbored evil intentions is no longer important, is it?"

"What we should be discussing is Guo Tu's negligence in failing to suppress Zhang Fei, which led to Zhang Fei threatening our rear."

With that, Xu You looked at Guo Tu with a cold sneer: "Hehe! Guo Tu, Guo Gongze, don't think you can gloss over this matter; you cannot escape the blame that is yours."
