Chapter 338: Duan Wei

Watching Duan Wei leave, Lü Bu knew that he had still chosen to resist.

However, this was all within their expectations.

This attempt to persuade surrender was just a trial; if Duan Wei could surrender, that would be for the best.

If he resisted, it would only be a little troublesome.

Not to mention Liu Bian, who had already reached the Innate Realm.

Just him, Lü Bu, and his army of fifty thousand third-rate martial generals, taking Linjing City, which was guarded by forty thousand ordinary soldiers, was not a difficult task.

Not to mention, there was also Jia Xu's Shadow Guard helping in the dark!

Subsequently, Lü Bu turned and rode quickly toward Liu Bian.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate failed to persuade the surrender; this person, Duan Wei, is relatively foolishly loyal."

"He received kindness from Dong Zhuo early on, so he is loyal to Dong Zhuo!"

Lü Bu looked at Liu Bian with quite a bit of guilt, although Duan Wei's choice was within his expectations.

"Hehehe, Fengxian, no need to mind; we were just trying."

"If Duan Wei could surrender, that would be for the best, what a pity!"

After Liu Bian comforted Lü Bu, he secretly sighed that it was a pity.

Lü Bu scratched his head in great confusion, not knowing if he was pitying Duan Wei for not surrendering.

Or pitying Duan Wei himself!

With Lü Bu's wisdom, asking him to think about this question was indeed a bit difficult for him.

Immediately, he shook his head and asked Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, how about letting this subordinate lead men to storm the city!"

"Hehehe, that is not necessary; your Postnatal Third Heaven strength has not yet reached the point of not fearing arrows."

"Moreover, storming a city guarded by forty thousand people is the most unwise behavior."

Liu Bian immediately dispelled Lü Bu's idea of wanting to storm the city. He then warned him:

"Fengxian, in the future, when attacking a city, unless your strength is so great that you do not fear arrows on the battlefield, you should listen more to the military advisor's opinions!"

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Lü Bu also earnestly took Liu Bian's warning to heart; after all, Liu Bian was also thinking of his safety.

"This subordinate obeys; in the future, I will definitely listen more to the military advisor's suggestions!"

After warning Lü Bu, Liu Bian said to the others.

"This time, I will take action myself to break open the gate of Linjing City!"

"Since breaking through to the Innate Realm, I have not had a chance to take action; it is just right to let you all see the power of the Innate Realm."

Ever since he broke through to the Innate Third Heaven, Liu Bian had not taken action; this time, he wanted to see just how strong he could be with his Innate Third Heaven strength!

"Your Majesty, would this be too dangerous? You are of imperial body, how can you easily take risks!"

Hearing that Liu Bian wanted to take action himself, Cao Cao was shocked and said loudly and anxiously to him.

"Yes! Your Majesty, this matter must absolutely not be done!"

Guo Jia also exhorted Liu Bian.

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees with General Cao and Fengxiao; this matter must absolutely not be done!"

"This minister has already arranged for the Shadow Guard to lurk in Linjing City."

"When the time comes, we and the Shadow Guard will work from inside and outside to take Linjing City; it will be easy!"

Jia Xu also advised Liu Bian.

He had also just arrived at Linjing City today; after distributing ten tons of corn seeds in Chun Gu County, he had ridden quickly to join Liu Bian.

Looking at the anxious crowd, a trace of warmth flowed through Liu Bian's heart.

"You can rest assured! I have the Emperor Armor to protect my body; in this world, no one can break my defense!"

Liu Bian explained to the crowd with a confident face.

"My Emperor Armor is an existence that transcends Immortal Artifacts; even if I just stand there, they cannot harm me in the slightest!"

Regarding the Emperor Armor rewarded by the system, Liu Bian also did not know how strong its defense was.

If he wanted to know the defense of the Emperor Armor, he would have to see if there was a chance in the future.

Currently, there was no one in this world who could break the defense of the Emperor Armor and hurt him.

And he, as the emperor of the Han Empire, would have fewer and fewer chances to take action in the future.

His existence served more as a deterrent. If one day he really needed to take action,

that would mean the Han Empire had encountered a strong enemy, a powerful existence that everyone could not resist.

Cao Cao and the others only then knew that the armor Liu Bian was wearing was actually an existence that transcended immortal artifacts!

You must know, they didn't even know what an immortal artifact looked like!

Now, suddenly being told that the majestic and domineering armor on Liu Bian was an existence above immortal artifacts,

this huge shock left the few of them unable to recover for a long time.

After recovering, they all stared at the Emperor Armor on Liu Bian with fiery eyes.

If it weren't for their absolute loyalty to Liu Bian, they would probably have been unable to resist taking action to snatch it from Liu Bian.

Seeing the fiery gazes of Cao Cao and the others, Liu Bian said to them meaningfully:

"Rest assured, as long as you follow me well, you will all have a chance to possess these things!"

Hearing Liu Bian's words, everyone looked at Liu Bian excitedly.

"These ministers thank Your Majesty; we are willing to die for Your Majesty!"

Everyone shouted loudly to Liu Bian with loyalty and solemn voices.

"My dear ministers, rise! I know of your loyalty to me!"

Looking at the solemn expressions of the crowd, Liu Bian said to them with a serious expression.

Subsequently, he asked the few of them with a hint of playfulness: "Now, are you still worried about my safety?"

Hearing Liu Bian's inquiry, the few of them blushed slightly.

They cupped their hands respectfully to Liu Bian and said: "Your Majesty's strength is heaven-reaching; we are convinced!"

Seeing that the crowd no longer blocked him, Liu Bian was in a great mood.

He waved his hand at the crowd and shouted loudly: "Since you have no more questions, then follow me and watch me break the city!"

"This subordinate obeys!"

Subsequently, the crowd crowded around Liu Bian, followed by seventy thousand mighty troops, and headed toward Linjing City.

At this time, the people in Linjing City thought that Lü Bu and the others had already retreated and were just about to rest.

They saw that Lü Bu, who had already left, had returned.

And this time, he had brought seventy thousand troops with him.

In an instant, the city became chaotic.

Especially when Liu Bian's red dragon flag appeared in the center of the army, they became even more panicked!

After all, Liu Bian's identity was completely different from Lü Bu's.

Duan Wei could command the army to take action against Lü Bu.

However, if the target of this action became Liu Bian, then not everyone would necessarily take action.

After all, the Han Empire had once been glorious, and the four hundred years of rule of the Han Empire had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Back then, they had all been proud to be subjects of the Han Empire, to be Han people!

Now, asking them to take action against the emperor of the Han Empire for no reason was a crime of treason.

If they failed, they would be executed to the nine clans!

Even if they succeeded, they would have no face to face the ancestors of the Han, no face to face their ancestors.

"General, it's bad!"

At this time, Duan Wei, who had just returned to the Taishou Mansion, had not even sat down when he heard the anxious voice of the deputy general.

"What is it again? You had better give this general a reasonable explanation, otherwise, military law will be served!" ===== CHAPTER 339 =====
