Chapter 188 Even Liu Bei can abuse me? Isn't patricide a basic operation? This is the fate of the traitor who usurped the Han Dynasty!
He couldn't figure out why.

Just over two years ago, he dealt with Liu Bei as easily as dealing with a chicken or a dog.

Now, only two years have passed, and Liu Bei has become so strong that he has been reborn?

In a head-on confrontation, his elite Huainan soldiers were no match for Liu Bei's Jingzhou troops!

It would have been fine if I had been defeated by Cao Cao, but now even Liu Bei can bully me. Have I, Yuan Shu, fallen to the point where no one can defeat me?

"Your Majesty, it must be because Zhang Liao refused to fight to the death that he was defeated by the Western Liang cavalry, causing our army to be completely routed."

"The situation is hopeless, Your Majesty, please retreat north quickly~~"

Yang Hong persuaded with a bitter face.

While trying to persuade them to retreat, he took the opportunity to put the blame for the defeat on Zhang Liao's refusal to fight to the death.

Yuan Shu was instantly furious and glared at Lu Bu with resentful eyes.

Zhang Liao is a general under your command, Lu Bu. If he is unwilling to fight to the death, then it must be that you, Lu Bu, are unwilling to fight to the death for me?
What are you thinking?

Yuan Shu's resentful eyes clearly showed this question.

Just when sweat was pouring down Lu Bu's forehead and he didn't know how to deal with it.

More than ten sharp arrows were whistling towards us.

"Puff puff!"

Several royal guards were nailed to the ground by arrows.

Blood splattered all over Yuan Shu's face.

Yuan Shu's resentment was immediately extinguished, and he did not bother to question Lu Bu. He turned his horse and fled, shouting:

"Retreat, retreat of all troops——"

Yang Hong felt relieved and quickly turned his horse around, following Yuan Shu in his flight to the north.

The left and right imperial guards, as if they had been pardoned, all surrounded Yuan Shu and fled north in a hurry.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong looked at each other, and a look that only the two of them could understand flashed in each other's eyes.

So the two of them whipped their horses and followed Yuan Shu.

Since their own emperor had packed up and fled, who in Yuan's army had the courage to hold on any longer? So they fled in all directions like ants whose nests had been breached.

Flags with the word "Yuan" on them fell to the ground and were trampled by Liu's army.

Yuan's soldiers who were not fast enough in escaping were killed at will by Liu's ferocious soldiers.

Zhang Xiu was the commander of the Western Liang Cavalry, and from the very beginning he had been chasing in the direction of Yuan Shu's escape.

That was Yuan Shu, the traitor who usurped the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor!

Not to mention capturing Yuan Shu alive, even if he could be killed, it would be an unparalleled feat.

Just based on this achievement, even if you lie down and do nothing from now on, you will surely be granted a title and enjoy wealth and honor in the future.

So Zhang Xiu galloped away on his horse, not even bothering to kill the scattered Yuan soldiers on his left and right, and chased after Yuan Shu.

But at this time, Yuan Shu was secretly complaining.

He finally regretted his extravagance and indulgence in wine and meat, which turned him from a handsome and elegant young man into the second Dong Zhuo.

Now that he was running for his life, how could his mount run fast with his fat body weighing two or three hundred pounds?

Seeing that Zhang Xiu's Xiliang cavalry were getting closer and closer behind him, Yuan Shu was extremely anxious and almost cried.

"Fengxian, give me your Red Hare!"

"Quick, give it to me!"

Yuan Shu suddenly had an idea and shouted at Lu Bu who was following closely beside him.

The Red Hare is a divine horse. Even though it is fat, it is enough to carry him and help him escape from the pursuers and save his life.

Lu Bu was startled and his eyes suddenly widened.

This old thief, at this critical moment, actually wanted to steal his Red Hare?

If I give you the Red Hare, how can I escape?
You are trying to save yourself, but you want me to be trapped by the pursuers and lose my life!
Lu Bu clenched his fists suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot, and the word "kill" was almost written on his face.

"Lu Bu, what are you still hesitating about?"

"His Majesty is both your Son of Heaven and your adoptive father. As the son of a minister, it is only natural for you to offer your horse to save His Majesty!"

"Quickly exchange Red Hare for Your Majesty!"

Yang Hong also noticed that Lu Bu was hesitating, so he shouted at him harshly.

Lu Bu's anger had reached its critical point, his hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword, and his eyes were full of ferocity.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

A barrage of arrows came from behind. It was the pursuing Xiliang cavalry, who launched a mounted archery attack.

Arrows whizzed in like rain, killing a large number of the Royal Guards on both sides.

The soldiers were panicked and scattered in all directions, not caring about Yuan Shu's life or death.

"Marquis Wen!"

Chen Gong saw the opportunity, and with a low roar, he signaled to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked around and immediately understood.

The situation is in chaos, and Yuan Shu's only trusted confidant is Yang Hong. Now is a godsend opportunity to kill Yuan Shu.

By then everyone will think that Yuan Shu died in the chaos of the army, not at the hands of Lu Bu.

Once Yuan Shu died, wouldn't it be a natural thing for him to take over by just raising his arm and gathering the defeated troops?
"Lü Fengxian, what are you still hesitating about? Hurry up and give the Red Hare to His Majesty!"

Yang Hong had not yet realized that his death was approaching and was still shouting in dissatisfaction.

He even reached out and tried to grab the reins in Lu Bu's hand.

"brush!"

Lu Bu unsheathed his sword, swift as lightning.

A stream of blood splashed out, and before Yang Hong could react, the arm he stretched out had been cut off in half. "Ah——"

A heart-wrenching howl sounded.

"Lü Bu, how dare you, how dare you——"

Yang Hong looked at Lu Bu in pain, shock and anger.

Lu Bu's eyes were like blades, and he said coldly:

"Who do you think you are? How dare you give orders to me?"

"Yang Hong, I have disliked you for a long time, and today I will kill you!"

Amid the roar, the sword in Lu Bu's hand danced.

After seven or eight sword lights passed by, Yang Hong was chopped into pieces and fell to the ground.

"Lu Bu, you——"

Yuan Shu was horrified. He never expected that Lu Bu would dare to kill Yang Hong in front of him.

The next moment he suddenly woke up and realized that his adopted son was rebelling!
Yuan Shu was so frightened that he whipped his horse like a madman and tried his best to escape several steps away.

Unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, Lu Bu rode his Red Hare and easily caught up with him.

Lu Bu raised his bloody sword with a ferocious sneer on his face, obviously intending to kill him.

Yuan Shu suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and realized that his adopted son had killed his father twice and was a wolf that could never be tamed!

I was too arrogant at the beginning, thinking that I was different from Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, and that I had enough political skills to control Lu Bu.

However, he didn't expect that he would end up raising a tiger to cause trouble and follow in the footsteps of Dong and Ding.

"Lü Bu, I am your adoptive father. If you kill me, you will be committing patricide three times!"

"Do you really want to be infamous and despised by all eternity?"

Yuan Shu angrily rebuked Lu Bu with gritted teeth, trying to awaken the little conscience that was left in Lu Bu's heart.

Lu Bu did hesitate for a moment.

However, it was only for a moment.

"If a man cannot leave a good reputation for centuries, I would rather be infamous for eternity!"

"If I had not wanted to seize your inheritance, why would I have endured the humiliation and accepted you, a withered bone in a grave, as my foster father?"

"Today I will kill you first, then seize your inheritance, and make you pay for the humiliation you have brought upon me with your life!"

"go to hell!"

Lu Bu vented all the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, and with the bloody sword in his hand filled with anger, he slashed at Yuan Shu.

Seeing that there was no escape, Yuan Shu had to draw his sword to meet the attack.

"Crack!"

The long sword in his hand was cut off by Lu Bu in an instant.

The sword, which still had its full force, hit Yuan Shu's shoulder.

What surprised Lu Bu was that Yuan Shu was too fat. After the sword cut through the armor on his shoulder and penetrated into the flesh and bone, it failed to cut off his shoulder.

Lu Bu frowned, sheathed his sword, and was about to strike with a second strike.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Another round of arrow rain came, covering the sky and the earth.

Lü Bu had no choice but to quickly brandish his sword to block the incoming arrows.

Yuan Shu, who was standing beside him, was in so much pain that he had no time to block the arrow and was hit by another arrow in the back.

Another scream was heard.

Yuan Shu's body swayed, and he looked up and fell off his horse.

Lu Bu deflected the rain of arrows, turned around and saw that Yuan Shu was not dead yet, so he wanted to turn his horse back and give him one more strike with the sword.

It's too late.

The cavalry led by Commander Zhang Xiu were already approaching. If he turned back to finish his attack, he would surely be surrounded and killed by the Xiliang cavalry.

Without his Fang Tian Hua Ji and with his right arm injured, how could he withstand the siege of thousands of cavalrymen?
"Wen Hou, it's too late, hurry up!"

Chen Gong beside him also reminded him hurriedly.

Lu Bu had no choice but to grit his teeth and urge his Red Hare to flee.

When Yuan Shu fell to the ground and struggled to get up, he saw that Lu Bu had already disappeared into the distance.

"Lü Bu, oh Lü Bu, you are such a disloyal, unfilial, and conscienceless beast!"

"How could I have trusted a slave like you who has three surnames?"

"I should have listened to Yang Hong's advice and killed you long ago!"

"I have no eyes, no eyes~~"

Yuan Shu lay on the ground, pounding the ground with his fists, cursing in grief and regret.

Just as he was roaring and cursing, Zhang Xiu had already arrived on his horse.

The horse's hoof failed to stop and stepped on Yuan Shu's hand.

"Crack!"

Yuan Shu's palm shattered.

Another heart-wrenching howl was heard, and Yuan Shu collapsed to the ground again, almost fainting from the pain.

"Yuan Shu, you are so brave that you dare to adopt Lu Bu as your adopted son."

"You deserve this fate!"

Zhang Xiu looked down at Yuan Shu's miserable state with a sneer, and then shouted:
"Catch this traitor who usurped the Han Dynasty and hand him over to the lord for punishment!"
