Chapter 280: Reviewing the Three Kingdoms Top Ten Combat Power Ranking Third Place: Dian Wei

~9 min read 1,611 words

The next day, before dawn, Liu Bang was squatting on the steps in front of Weiyang Palace.

He didn't sleep well last night.

Since coming to Liu Che's place, he hadn't slept soundly.

It wasn't entirely because of the Sky Screen; it was mainly that Ying Zheng, sleeping next door, made noise every time he turned over in the middle of the night.

"Up so early?"

Gu Shanhe appeared behind him at some point, holding a bowl of soy milk, still steaming.

Liu Bang looked at him: "Immortal Master, don't you sleep at night?"

"I sleep."

Gu Shanhe took a sip of soy milk, "Woken up by the rooster's crow."

Liu Bang curled his lips, just about to say something else, when the palace gate opened and Ying Zheng walked out.

Dressed in a black deep robe, his hair tied meticulously, forming a sharp contrast with Liu Bang's disheveled appearance.

Ying Zheng looked at Liu Bang squatting on the steps and said expressionlessly: "Hard to be of great use."

Liu Bang wasn't annoyed, grinned: "First Emperor, you're up early too."

Ying Zheng ignored him, walked to the courtyard, stood still, and looked at the eastern sky turning white with his hands behind his back.

Liu Che hurried over from the side hall, tying his belt as he walked, obviously just woken up by the eunuch.

Seeing that the three were already there, he hurriedly bowed: "High Ancestor, First Emperor, Immortal Master, I'm late, I'm late."

Liu Bang waved his hand: "You're not late, I'm just too early."

As soon as the words fell, the sky lit up.

This time the golden light came fast and fierce, different from the previous few times.

The previous Sky Screens lit up slowly, like someone slowly lighting a big lamp.

Today is different—today it was "boom," the whole sky exploded at the same time, golden light spilled over the sky, and even the clouds were scorched into the color of red copper.

Liu Bang was dazzled and narrowed his eyes: "Good fellow! What's wrong today? Is God in a bad mood?"

Gu Shanhe looked at the golden characters slowly condensing in the center of the Sky Screen and said slowly:

"Not in a bad mood, it's just that this person today has a big impact."

In the center of the Sky Screen, a large line of characters emerged like they were cut by a knife or axe, each stroke carrying heavy pressure—

【Reviewing the Three Kingdoms Combat Power Ranking Third Place: Dian Wei】

Ying Zheng frowned.

He had never heard this name.

Liu Bang also scratched his head: "Dian Wei? Never heard of him, which god is this?"

Gu Shanhe knew Dian Wei, but didn't know much.

He only knew that this was a fierce general under Cao Cao, died quite early, and couldn't say what battle records he had.

The first thing that came out on the Sky Screen was a poem.

The handwriting was rigid, penetrating the sky, like an iron tower-like man standing there, looking down at everyone.

【Iron body stands tall in the Central Plains, double halberds across the sky intimidate ten thousand marquises.】

【One force can lift a thousand-foot flag, a lone body dares to block the flow of ten thousand armies.】

【Charging into the formation at Puyang startles Lu Bu, dying for the lord at Wancheng reports to Cao Hou.】

【Loyal and brave, peerless, called E Lai, heroic soul through the ages is naturally romantic.】

Liu Bang finished reading the poem and scratched his head: "Charging into the formation at Puyang startles Lu Bu? Did this person fight Lu Bu?"

Liu Che nodded: "Looking at the meaning, it should be."

Ying Zheng's gaze fell on the four words "dying for the lord at Wancheng."

Dying for the lord means this person died fighting for his lord.

A person who can give his life for his lord will never have poor combat power.

【Reason for Ranking】

【Ranked third on the Three Kingdoms Combat Power Ranking, firmly occupying the list by virtue of three core hard-core strengths:

First is peerless strength, crowning the world, with a majestic appearance and born divine strength, lifting the giant gate flag that was about to fall with one hand, wielding eighty-pound double halberds with ease;

Second is charging into battle, bravery crowning the three armies, the Battle of Puyang fighting to the death against Lu Bu's army, charging and crushing the enemy formation with the posture of breaking the formation;

Third is dying for the lord, iron-blooded legend, guarding the camp gate alone at Wancheng, suffering dozens of heavy injuries, using enemy soldiers as weapons with bare hands, staring and cursing the thieves until death, pure martial power, willpower, and battlefield explosive power are all top-tier in the Three Kingdoms.】

Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw the five words "eighty-pound double halberds."

He didn't understand martial arts, but he knew weight.

An eighty-pound iron thing, an ordinary person couldn't lift it with both hands, and this person could use it as a weapon with ease, and it was a pair.

Then how much strength must he have?

Liu Che was also calculating this account.

He remembered the military generals under him, Li Guang was known as the "Flying General," skilled in archery and horsemanship, but if Li Guang were asked to use an eighty-pound thing as a weapon, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to get on a horse.

Liu Bang was direct: "Eighty pounds? I can't even lift a forty-pound tripod."

"Is this person's strength bigger than a cow?"

Sui Wendi Yang Jian's comment popped out from the Sky Screen.

【Sui Wendi Yang Jian: Born majestic, with extraordinary strength, self-taught in all skills, and also righteous and chivalrous, killing local tyrants alone for friends, possessing the backbone of ancient chivalrous men!】

Li Shimin followed closely.

【Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Heroes emerge in chaotic times, such born divine strength is already rare, and also possesses chivalry; if born under my command, he would definitely be an invincible fierce general!】

Zhu Yuanzhang's comment was big and bold.

【Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang: Good fellow! Killing local tyrants alone, hundreds of people dare not approach, this aura is domineering enough! He looks like a ruthless person who is not easy to mess with, straightforward temperament, suits my taste!】

Qianlong shook his folding fan.

【Qianlong: Majestic appearance, possessing ambition and chivalry, truly a hero with backbone; a small person in the late Han can also hide peerless sharpness, rare, rare.】

Liu Bang looked at these comments and suddenly turned to ask the Immortal Master Gu Shanhe: "What is the background of this Dian Wei?"

Gu Shanhe thought for a moment and said: "He is Cao Cao's guard commander, to put it plainly, a personal bodyguard."

"But this is not an ordinary bodyguard, it's the kind of bodyguard who can block thousands of troops and horses."

Three Kingdoms Space plane.

Cao Cao didn't go to the military camp today.

He took a rare day off, specifically waiting for the Sky Screen.

When Guan Yu was on the list yesterday, he felt somewhat uncomfortable—Guan Yu was so fierce, but he followed Liu Bei, that weaver and mat seller.

He treated Guan Yu well, gold on horseback and silver off horseback, but Guan Yu still left.

Today he wanted to see who this third place was.

When the Sky Screen lit up, Cao Cao was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.

He saw the two words "Dian Wei," and the teacup in his hand almost couldn't be held.

"Dian Wei?!"

Cao Cao stood up abruptly, tea spilling on his sleeve without noticing.

"It's my Dian Wei!"

Xiahou Dun widened his eyes next to him.

"Lord, Dian Wei... is on the list? Third place?"

Cao Cao couldn't answer, his eyes fixed on the Sky Screen, the arc of his mouth getting wider and wider.

When the Sky Screen read the four words "Ancient E Lai," Cao Cao finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said three good words in a row, turned to look at the iron tower-like man behind him.

"Commander Dian, did you hear that? Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking, Three Kingdoms Combat Power Third!"

Dian Wei stood behind Cao Cao, his body as majestic as a small mountain.

When he heard his name, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon returned to a dull expression.

Cao Cao saw him like this and was so anxious he slapped his thigh:

"Why aren't you happy! This is the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking! All the lords in the world are watching!"

Dian Wei said in a muffled voice: "Lord, I didn't understand, is that talking about me?"

Cao Cao was amused by him: "If it's not you, who is it? Is there a second person named Dian Wei?"

Dian Wei scratched his head and smiled honestly.

Cao Cao's mansion exploded.

Xiahou Dun was the first to lean over, looking Dian Wei up and down, clicking his tongue in wonder.

"Good you, Dian Wei, usually silent, the Heavenly Dao actually ranked you third? One place higher than Guan Yunchang?"

Dian Wei didn't know how to answer, just smiled honestly.

Xu Chu also came, he was half a head shorter than Dian Wei, but also a sturdy man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

He stood in front of Dian Wei and looked him up and down, saying in a muffled voice:

"Brother Dian, the Heavenly Dao says you are third, I'm somewhat unconvinced, shall we practice some other day?"

Dian Wei looked at him and said one word: "Good." ===== CHAPTER 281 =====
