Chapter 184: The Eighteen Warlords: Damn! We were drinking, and Liu Bei

Niu Fu and the others had no choice but to curse loudly!

The two armies grew further and further apart, getting closer and closer to Luoyang.

Niu Fu decisively stopped the pursuit and discussed with everyone how to shift the blame so as not to be punished by the Prime Minister.

The Xiliang soldiers unanimously decided to shift the blame to Lu Bu!

Who told him to be a Bingzhou man!

When Lu Bu returned, he was scolded by Dong Zhuo, and his resentment toward Dong Zhuo grew deeper.

Luoyang City,

The Jiade Hall, which was the least burned, could shelter them from the wind and rain.

The warlords were still drinking here, cups clinking; everyone was a bit tipsy again.

Several warlords whose relationships were already tense and whose territories overlapped began to spray each other.

Yuan Yi intentionally or unintentionally implied that Han Fu's prestige was not enough, meaning Yuan Shao's prestige shook the nine provinces, and his position as Inspector of Jizhou should be yielded!

Han Fu felt aggrieved; when the Yuan brothers fought, he gave grain when they wanted grain, and weapons when they wanted weapons; now they even wanted his position as Inspector!

But his personality was cowardly, and he didn't dare to confront them directly!

Qiao Mao and Liu Dai were at odds; taking advantage of the alcohol, they had been spraying each other for a long time, almost coming to blows!

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were plotting another matter at this time.

Sun Jian strode in,

"Alliance Leader, my previous injury has not healed, so I plan to return to Jiangdong to recuperate."

Yuan Shu snorted,

"Sun Jian, your injury is not on your body, but on that Imperial Seal!"

Sun Jian's heart skipped a beat; it seemed there was Yuan Shu's mole among his subordinates! He had been betrayed!

Sun Jian naturally denied it flatly!

Yuan Shao stated that he was the Alliance Leader, and the Imperial Seal was something that must be kept by him!

Sun Jian, who had obtained the Imperial Seal with such difficulty, naturally was unwilling to hand it over.

The two sides were instantly at daggers drawn!

It wasn't until Sun Jian kicked away the 1.5-meter-tall Honda Tadakatsu that Yuan Shao realized that this Sun Jian was a fierce general, and his own life was in danger!

"Report! ~"

The scout broke in again; seeing the situation in the hall, sweat instantly broke out on his forehead!

Yuan Shao hurriedly gave himself a way out,

"Wentai, we are all allies, why resort to swords!"

"What is it?"

"Report to the Alliance Leader, Liu Bei has led his troops back."

Everyone:??

Yuan Shao laughed heartily,

"Alright, Wentai, put down your sword; let us go together to welcome the great hero who saved the commoners of Luoyang."

Sun Jian couldn't get angry anymore; he didn't really want to finish off Yuan Shao either, as there would be many troubles, and he might not be able to get out of Luoyang.

Liu Bei soon arrived at Jiade Hall; he keenly noticed the discord here,

"Sun Jian and Yuan Shao are clashing? I'm afraid it's for the Imperial Seal."

Yuan Shao laughed loudly,

"Xuande, we have been wasting time here, while you have crushed the Xiliang army and shaken the nine provinces; I am ashamed!"

Liu Bei secretly smiled; this Yuan Shao said he was ashamed on the surface, but in reality, his "red-eye disease" (jealousy) had flared up again!

Tao Qian interjected,

"Xuande, I heard you saved seven hundred thousand commoners of Luoyang? A great act of kindness!"

Kong Rong also sighed with emotion,

"Xuande, quickly tell everyone how you managed to do so many earth-shattering things!"

Liu Bei cupped his hands,

"You all praise me too much; my troops were only ten thousand plus, and I just caught the Xiliang army off guard."

"I was pursued by Niu Fu and the others this time, and I just ran to the vicinity of Luoyang; they feared the prestige of the Allied Forces, so they didn't dare to pursue anymore."

Liu Bei's humility instantly won everyone's favor again.

The unpleasantness of being "rolled" by Liu Bei before dissipated quite a bit.

Han Fu, Tao Qian, and others pulled Liu Bei into the hall,

"Come, come, Xuande, let's go in and drink, and tell us about your experiences these past few days."

Sun Jian, however, cupped his hands and said,

"Gentlemen, I am not feeling well, so I won't stay long."

He cupped his hands to Liu Bei,

"Xuande, let's drink again next time."

Liu Bei also cupped his hands,

"Brother Wentai, then take care of yourself."

Sun Jian cupped his hands and left with his men!

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked at each other, the ruthlessness in their eyes flashing and disappearing!

Liu Bei sighed inwardly, ===== CHAPTER 185 =====
