Chapter 856: Lu Bu Questions His Life, Specialty Products of the Conan World (5/5, please subscribe)
Su Xiao: "Yes, yes! By the way, is this Lu Bu the Lu Bu from the official history, or the one from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
Hu Yifei: "Definitely the Romance. In the official history, Lu Bu isn't some number-one martial general under heaven."
Lu Bu: "I'm not the number-one martial general under heaven in the official history?"
Zhao Kuangyin: "Hard to understand? In the official history, your martial evaluation is passable—good at archery, horsemanship, and mounted archery, known as the Flying General. But compared with Guan Yu, you're quite a bit worse."
Lu Bu: "I'm worse than Guan Yu?!"
Hu Yifei: "That's in the official history. In the Romance, you're still number one under heaven."
Lu Bu: "That's not right—is there even water in my being number one under heaven?"
Ye Hei: "That's normal. Guan Yu is the only martial general in the official history with a record of beheading an enemy commander in front of the formation. He was enshrined as the Saint of Martial, and the title was well deserved. Actually, the Romance even weakened Guan Yu."
Hu Yifei: "Indeed weakened. In the Romance, it says Guan Yu's Red Hare was so fast that Yan Liang was cut down before he could react—there's a suspicion of a sneak attack. The official history records it as—Yiyiyu"
"spotted Liang's command canopy, spurred his horse, stabbed Liang amid ten thousand men, cut off his head and returned, and none of Shao's generals could withstand him."
Wang Chao: "In the official history, Guan Yu had neither Red Hare nor the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. As a mere mortal, he charged into thousands of troops and horses, cut down a general and returned—it's simply absurd to the extreme."
Ye Hei: "Taking an enemy's head amid the Wan Army is exactly what Guan Yu did."
Lu Bu: "A mere Yan Liang—I could take his life just as easily."
Mao Lilan: "It's all official history, you know. You're a character from the Romance arguing with a character from the official history—you're not even from the same world."
Su Xiao: "Probably because General Lu places a lot of weight on his being number one under heaven."
Lu Bu: "That is a warrior's glory—you wouldn't understand!"
Su Xiao: "You could take a look at Romance of the Three Kingdoms and see if it matches up with what happened on your side."
Lu Bu: "Many thanks."
Yang Yanqi: "I never thought I'd actually be in the same group as Lu Bu!"
Bao Zheng: "No—has Miss Yang not noticed that His Majesty the Founding Emperor is also in the group?"
