Chapter 281: Cao Cao, due to greed for beauty, caused the loss of Dian Wei

Cao Cao heard this from the side and scolded with a smile:

"Practice what? You are all brothers, don't hurt the harmony."

Although he said so, he was actually overjoyed in his heart.

Dian Wei ranked third, meaning he, Cao Cao, had the third fiercest general in the world under his command.

Does Liu Bei have this glory? Does Sun Quan have it?

No.

Cao Cao's happiness didn't last long.

Because the Sky Screen began to display Dian Wei's detailed life.

【Dian Wei Detailed Personal File】

【Lifespan/Ancestral Home: No clear record of birth year in official history, died in 197 AD, from Jiwu, Chenliu.】

【Mentorship: No clear master's inheritance, belongs to born brute force, self-taught in martial arts, experienced as a wanderer for many years.】

【Nicknames: Ancient E Lai, Dian the Brave, Cao Wei's First Tiger Guard, Double Halberd Divine General.】

【Forces served: Early years as a wandering hero → First submitted to Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao → Later transferred to Xiahou Dun → Finally submitted to Cao Cao.】

Cao Cao saw the four words "Ancient E Lai" and couldn't help but laugh again.

E Lai was the first fierce general under King Zhou of Shang, said to be able to tear tigers and leopards apart.

Comparing Dian Wei to E Lai was a huge compliment.

But immediately after, the Sky Screen began to play Dian Wei's early deeds.

【Early years as a wandering hero, once avenged a friend, killed the local tyrant Li Yong alone, entered the market with a blade, hundreds of people dared not approach.】

Li Shimin's comment popped out.

【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!】

Ying Zheng looked at this comment and narrowed his eyes.

He was becoming more and more curious about this emperor named Li Shimin.

This person's comments on military generals always hit the nail on the head, unlike Liu Bang who only knew how to shout "Good fellow."

Liu Bang shouted vigorously: "Good fellow! Killing people for friends, entering the market with a blade, hundreds of people dared not approach, isn't this Fan Kuai? 'No, Fan Kuai is a dog butcher, this one is a murderer.'"

Liu Che looked at his ancestor helplessly.

Three Kingdoms plane, Eastern Wu.

Sun Ce sat in the big tent, looking at the Sky Screen, his brow twisted into a knot.

Zhou Yu stood beside him, his feather fan shaking lightly, his gaze calm, but hidden thoughts in his eyes.

"Dian Wei."

Sun Ce read this name, "Under Cao Cao?"

Zhou Yu nodded: "Heard he is the guard commander, don't know what his ability is."

Sun Ce snorted: "Can rank third? Higher than Guan Yu?"

"I want to see what ability this person has."

He, Sun Ce, was known as the "Little Conqueror," also a fierce general in his youth, never hesitating to charge into battle.

But if he were to rank the Three Kingdoms Combat Power Ranking, he estimated he wouldn't make it into the top ten.

It wasn't that he was weak, it was that there were too many fierce generals in the Three Kingdoms.

Now a Dian Wei suddenly popped up, he hadn't even heard of him, and he actually ranked third?

Sun Ce felt somewhat unconvinced.

But he didn't speak, because he knew the Sky Screen would give the answer soon.

Zhou Yu suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but every word was clear:

"Bofu, look at this person's nickname—Ancient E Lai."

"E Lai was a man of King Zhou of Shang, famous for his bravery."

"Being able to compare Dian Wei to E Lai shows that later generations have a very high evaluation of him."

Sun Ce was silent for a while and said: "No matter how fierce he is, he is Cao Cao's man anyway."

"If we meet on the battlefield one day, I will meet him."

Zhou Yu smiled and didn't respond.

But he was thinking about one thing—Dian Wei ranked third, then who is second? Who is first?

Also, what rank is Lu Bu?

Shu Han.

Zhang Fei's voice was exceptionally loud today.

"Third place?! Someone I've never heard of ranks third?!"

Zhang Fei paced back and forth in the courtyard, full of dissatisfaction.

"My Second Brother only ranked fourth! Guan Yu! Guan Yunchang! Guan Yu who took Yan Liang's head in ten thousand armies! Why rank behind him?!"

Guan Yu sat on the side, phoenix eyes slightly closed, holding a teacup, his expression as usual.

But Zhang Fei had been his brother for decades and knew his Second Brother wasn't happy either.

This person Guan Yu looked like he didn't fight or grab, but he was more arrogant than anyone in his bones.

There were few people in the world who could make him convinced.

Now the Heavenly Dao told him that someone named Dian Wei ranked ahead of him, so he couldn't be comfortable.

Liu Bei smoothed things over: "Third Brother, don't be anxious, let's see what ability this person has."

Zhang Fei sat down and said angrily: "Let's see! I want to see how well he can fight!"

Zhao Yun stood on the side, silent all along.

But he was also pondering in his heart—Dian Wei, Cao camp's person, he hadn't paid much attention to him before.

Why did this person rank third?

The Sky Screen didn't make them wait too long.

【Participated Battles: Battle of Puyang, Battle of Yanzhou Pacification, Battle of Wancheng.】

【Core Battle Records: Battle of Puyang hard-shook Lu Bu's army, crushed the enemy formation, forced Lu Bu to retreat.】

Zhang Fei saw the four words "hard-shook Lu Bu" and his eyes widened.

What kind of person is Lu Bu?

Zhang Fei had fought him, before Hulao Pass, Three Heroes Fight Lu Bu, the three of them didn't win.

Later, Zhang Fei fought Lu Bu alone several times, each time slightly inferior, and neither could do anything to the other in a short time.

Zhang Fei knew clearly that Lu Bu was the number one in the world.

But now the Sky Screen said that Dian Wei hard-shook Lu Bu's army in the Battle of Puyang and crushed the enemy formation?

Zhang Fei turned to look at Guan Yu: "Second Brother, you have also fought Lu Bu, who do you think can hard-shake Lu Bu's army?"

Guan Yu put down his teacup, his phoenix eyes opened slightly, was silent for a moment, and said four words: "Depends on how you fight."

Zhang Fei was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Guan Yu didn't explain further.

But he was thinking about one thing—Dian Wei wasn't dueling Lu Bu, he was charging.

Charging and dueling are two different things.

Dueling is a contest between two people, charging is one person rushing into an army of thousands, killing through the enemy formation.

Dian Wei being able to do this shows that his ability is not in dueling, but in battlefield explosive power.

The Sky Screen continued to tell Dian Wei's deeds.

【Battle of Wancheng: 197 AD, Cao Cao took Zhang Xiu's aunt, Zhang Xiu hated it and suddenly rebelled, launching a night attack on Cao's camp.

Dian Wei was drunk and had his double halberds stolen, but still held the camp gate with short weapons, suffering dozens of heavy injuries, both arms were cut off, still fighting with enemy soldiers.

Finally, he died of exhaustion and heavy injuries, staring and cursing until death, exchanging his own life for Cao Cao's breakout and escape.】

A picture appeared on the Sky Screen.

A camp, night as ink, fire burning to the sky.

An iron tower-like man stood at the camp gate, covered in arrows, blood flowing like a river.

His double halberds were gone, he only held a short blade, but it was already chipped.

The enemy surged over like a tide.

He grabbed an enemy soldier as a weapon, swung it, and smashed a piece.

Another one.

Another one.

He broke one arm, so he continued to fight with the other.

Both arms were broken, so he used his head to hit, his teeth to bite, staring and cursing, until the last drop of blood flowed out, still standing there, not falling.

Zhang Fei didn't speak.

Guan Yu's phoenix eyes opened completely.

Zhao Yun gripped the long spear in his hand, his knuckles white.

The Chengdu drill ground was dead silent. The soldiers who were still discussing just now were all silent at this moment.

One person, blocking thousands of troops alone, suffering dozens of injuries, both arms cut off, still fighting to the death without retreating.

This is no longer a question of martial arts, this is willpower.

Zhang Fei suddenly stood up and said in a muffled voice: "I'm convinced."

Guan Yu looked at him and didn't speak.

Zhang Fei's temperament is straightforward, not convinced is not convinced, convinced is convinced.

Being able to make him say these three words shows that Dian Wei really shocked him.

But Guan Yu was thinking about another thing—Dian Wei died too miserably.

Not because he died on the battlefield, but because his death could have been avoided.

It was Cao Cao's greed for beauty that killed Dian Wei. ===== CHAPTER 282 =====
