BSI Chapter 110 You are not welcome here!
Chapter 110 You are not welcome here!
When Yuan Shao heard Zhou Cheng say these words through gritted teeth, he was dumbfounded.
In his understanding, if he hadn't promoted this fool, he would still be in the army as an ordinary soldier.
Once you become the city gate general, you should be devoted to guarding the city gate for him.
And no matter the time, a single word from him would be enough to make them run to him without complaint and obey his orders without hesitation.
"What...what do you mean?" Yuan Shao pointed at him and shouted angrily.
"Without me, you would be nothing but a lowly commoner!"
"Hahaha……"
Zhou Cheng threw his head back and laughed, his eyes filled with disappointment. "You always think of yourself as a benefactor!"
"Everything you have given us is a gift from you, and the Prime Minister truly treats us as his own people."
"Do you even know how difficult life is for those brothers whose pay you owe them?!"
"Everyone is angry but dares not speak out because they are afraid of offending you and never having another chance to receive it!"
"After the Prime Minister arrived here, he not only settled everyone's arrears in wages, but also paid them an extra six months' wages, and prepared enough food for the families of each brother."
"But he... doesn't see it as a blessing, and that's the biggest difference between you!"
"We are all human beings; we know who treats us well and who truly cares about us!"
"Instead of spending all your time kneeling and begging for favors from others!"
These resounding words expressed the sentiments of everyone.
It's unclear who first uttered the phrase, "You're not welcome here!"
In an instant.
All the soldiers present, along with the ordinary people around them, shouted at the same time.
"You're not welcome here!"
The thunderous roar made Yuan Shao's face grow paler and paler.
He stared at it all in disbelief, completely unable to comprehend how things had turned out this way.
The Yuan family has held high office for four generations, wielding such immense power, yet these people completely disregard it.
Aren't they afraid?
What he didn't expect was...
The hundreds of people who had originally followed him back now looked shaken.
Faced with overwhelming insults and attempts to drive them away, their instinct was to return to the crowd.
At this moment, they didn't care about the fact that the family had been in power for four generations or that the Yuan family had been established for so long.
He just wanted to return to the community, because most of them had their homes here.
But Li Zhao unleashed an even more ruthless move!
He looked at the wavering soldiers, still making their last stand, and said loudly, "Anyone who wants to come back is welcome to do so!"
"The choice is in your hands. Whether you go home or continue down this path to the bitter end, think it over carefully!"
These words became the last straw that broke their psychological defenses!
In less than a quarter of an hour, more than half of the hundreds of people who had returned with Yuan Shao laid down their weapons, took off their armor, and rejoined the crowd.
The remaining few, with the exception of a very few of Yuan Shao's confidants, made the same choice after a brief struggle.
that's it.
Yuan Shao watched helplessly as he became a lonely figure.
The sound rang in my ears again, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing out!
finally.
He left the place in a disheveled state, filled with endless humiliation and resentment.
He was now surrounded by five or six attendants, a far cry from his former glory.
Upon witnessing Yuan Shao's departure, countless soldiers and civilians cheered with joy.
In their view, since they drove them out by their own hands, they had truly become masters!
Amidst the joyous cheers, Lü Bu raised his question, "My lord, this was the perfect opportunity! We should have used them to kill him just now!"
"But there's still a chance, all it takes is a word from my lord..."
He didn't say what came next, but the meaning was clear.
Even if we catch up now, we can easily take Yuan Shao's life.
But Li Zhao shook his head, looking at him with a meaningful gaze, "Fengxian, not everything in this world can be solved by killing!"
"Killing him now would be illegitimate and unreasonable. Besides, what good would it do to let him leave?"
Lu Bu was visibly taken aback for a moment, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I really can't compare to my lord..."
……
"Heavens above..."
"Open your eyes and look at what this world has become!"
"Those treacherous, traitorous bastards, yet they portray themselves as righteous and noble!"
"Isn't it because they saw that Li Zhao had better food?"
"They...they'll all die a horrible death sooner or later!"
After galloping a long way, Yuan Shao could no longer contain himself and roared to the sky from his horse.
After saying that, everything went black and he fell off his horse.
Several attendants quickly gathered around, looking at him with great concern.
nowadays.
Yuan Shao was their only hope; they couldn't afford to die so easily.
"My lord, how are you?"
"My lord... wake up..."
"..."
It took Yuan Shao a long time to recover. He looked at the blue sky with a face full of despair.
The Yuan family had produced three high-ranking officials for four generations; with such a family background, how could he have ended up like this?
What he was so proud of clashed sharply with the harsh reality.
I can't accept it for a while!
"Don't... don't worry about me!" Yuan Shao waved his hand gently.
"My lord, you must pull yourself together! That Li Zhao has only occupied Ye City; the other counties and prefectures of Ji Province are still under your control!"
"And there's Bingzhou... there's still a chance. We can't let the world laugh at us!" a general said quickly.
He was more anxious than anyone else!
He had staked everything on following Yuan Shao; if he continued down this path of despair, wouldn't he have lost everything?
Others also spoke up, offering their best to comfort them.
Yuan Shao's bewildered gaze gradually brightened. "Yes!"
"Who said I lost? Let those despicable bastards know what a stupid mistake they made!"
"Walk……"
Driven by intense hatred, he mounted his horse again and headed towards the nearest county, Wei County.
Just as the general said, the other counties and prefectures in Ji Province are still under his control.
There's always a chance to start over!
When Yuan Shao arrived in Wei County with his men, he discovered that the situation was even worse than they had imagined.
Although they were not explicitly rejected, they were warmly welcomed inside.
It soon became apparent that he was about to be placed under house arrest.
Yuan Shao acted decisively, immediately leading his men to flee, and without choosing any other place, headed straight for Bingzhou.
Upon arriving in Bingzhou, he immediately spread the word that Li Zhao harbored wolfish ambitions and intended to rebel.
Now that they have occupied Ji Province, they will pose a threat to everyone. They really don't respect the imperial court!
He understood the various feudal lords well, so whether Li Zhao intended to harm the court was completely irrelevant.
But this guy has grown up and is now a threat to others.
Then he will immediately become everyone's enemy!
Yuan Shao intends to use the people of the world to ensure that Li Zhao has no chance of ever recovering his power...
