Chapter 416

One had a white face, one had a red face, and one had a black face.

Distinct and clear.

Su Li took one look and smiled.

It used to be said that if you speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

Now he spoke of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, and the three of them arrived immediately; it was truly magical.

Hmm, not bad.

White-faced Liu Bei, black-faced Zhang Fei, red-faced Guan Yu.

Old acquaintances, no need for further introduction.

.........................................................Zero.

White-faced Liu Bei, black-faced Zhang Fei, red-faced Guan Yu.

Old acquaintances; no need for further introductions.

"Damn it, what is there to fear about one Lu Bu? I, Zhang Fei of Yan, can fight him!"

Zhang Fei was the first to rush out, full of spirit, and speak.

"Big talk. Who are you?"

Yuan Shao stared at the three of them.

Before Liu, Guan, and Zhang could state their identities, Commandant Gongsun Zan, who had brought them in, stepped forward to introduce them.

"Gentlemen, this is Liu Bei, courtesy name Liu Liu Xuande, a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan."

"The two heroes beside him are his sworn brothers: the horse archer Guan Yu, courtesy name Yunchang, and the foot archer Zhang Fei, courtesy name Zhang Zhang Yide."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire camp fell silent.

But the next second, almost all the warlords showed expressions of contempt.

Everyone knew that Prince Jing of Zhongshan was a stallion in the truest sense.

His descendants numbered far more than a hundred.

Adding in distant relatives, there was no telling how many people shared that bloodline.

Some of the Liu clan members had status lower than that of ordinary gentry.

Now that a "Liu Liu Liu Xuande" had suddenly popped up claiming to be a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, the warlords naturally felt disdain.

Liu Bei saw the clear contempt on the faces of the warlords and felt very unhappy inside, but he showed nothing on his face, still bowing to the warlords with perfect etiquette.

It was only when his gaze fell upon Su Li that he received a modicum of courtesy.

"Brother Liu Liu Xuande, long time no see!"

After all, they had fought together before; based on that alone, Su Li would not treat Liu Bei with cold eyes like the other warlords.

"Brother Su."

Liu Bei hurriedly returned the bow, but looking at Su Li, who had already become a warlord in his own right, he felt a complicated mix of emotions.

At this moment, Yuan Shao spoke: "Liu Liu Liu Xuande, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Zhang Zhang Yide—three brothers, is it? According to Brother Bogui's meaning, can you three brothers fight Lu Bu?"

The most critical issue now was dealing with Lu Bu; Yuan Shao wasn't about to completely ignore the three of them.

"A mere Lu Bu, why would my eldest and second brothers need to act? Watch me, Zhang Zhang Zhang Yide, go up and chop off his dog head!"

Before Liu Bei could speak, the hot-tempered Zhang Fei boasted confidently.

Except for Su Li, these warlords all looked down on the three brothers, and Zhang Fei felt it necessary to open their eyes.

"Good. Since you are confident in slaying Lu Bu, then please go forth and fight!"

Yuan Shao nodded immediately.

In any case, none of the other warlords were willing to send their own top generals against Lu Bu, so letting Zhang Fei try wouldn't hurt.

But while Yuan Shao agreed, other warlords did not, especially Yuan Shu, who had just lost a top general. He immediately stood up to object: "A mere foot archer can go to battle? If this gets out, won't it be a laughingstock that our coalition has no one?"

"I ask the Alliance Leader to reconsider."

Warlords on good terms with Yuan Shu also chimed in.

"This..."

Yuan Shao was in a difficult position.

Because what Yuan Shu said was indeed reasonable; letting a foot archer fight was one thing if he killed Lu Bu, but if he couldn't, it would sound terrible if word got out.

Moreover, in their eyes, Zhang Fei going out was a guaranteed death sentence.

"Damn it, you lot..."

Zhang Fei was furious the moment he heard this. If Liu Bei hadn't been quick to grab him, Zhang Fei probably would have started a fight with Yuan Shu and the others right there.

This boorish attitude made the warlords, who considered themselves refined, dislike them even more. Many cast looks full of mockery and contempt at the three.

Even Commandant Gongsun Zan found it hard to speak for them and stood to the side, feeling awkward.

Seeing this scene, Su Li shook his head.

Very well, let me be the one to facilitate the historical scene of the three heroes fighting Lu Bu.

With a soft sigh, Su Li walked forward slowly and looked at the warlords: "Gentlemen, please hear me out. Since Brother Zhang Zhang Yide is willing to fight Lu Bu, it is actually a good thing."

"Otherwise, if we let Lu Bu continue to challenge us outside, our coalition will lose all morale. Or are you all prepared to send out your own powerful generals to defeat Lu Bu?"

Once these words were spoken, Yuan Shu and the others fell silent.

After all, Su Li had laid it out there; if they continued to object to Zhang Fei fighting, they would likely have to send their own men onto the field.

"Commandant Commandant Gongsun is right."

Seeing no one speak, Yuan Shao quickly made the decision: "Then let this hero Zhang Zhang Yide go to battle!"

Please subscribe, please rate.

"Commandant Commandant Gongsun is right."

Seeing no one speak, Yuan Shao quickly made the decision: "Then let this hero Zhang Zhang Yide go to battle!"

"Brother Su, you are truly righteous to speak up for us. Watch me go and defeat Lu Bu."

Zhang Fei said with high spirits and great excitement, then held his Serpent Spear and walked out of the camp with extreme confidence.

"Alliance Leader Yuan, would you like to go out and take a look? My third brother will surely defeat Lu Bu!"

To be honest, Liu Bei didn't have much certainty about whether Zhang Fei could beat Lu Bu.

But there was no choice; their three brothers were currently weak, and if they didn't use Lu Bu to establish their prestige...

Never mind these warlords looking down on him now, he wouldn't have a foothold in the future either.

So, after a slight bow, Liu Bei didn't wait to see if Yuan Shao would follow and led Guan Yu outside.

In case Zhang Fei wasn't Lu Bu's match, he could still go up with Guan Yu to help immediately.

The reason Liu Bei could become the future Emperor Emperor Zhaolie of Han was precisely because of this caution.

"Let's go, we should go out and watch too."

Su Li said to Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and the others behind him, then followed them out of Sishui Pass.

Zhao Yun and the others also followed Su Li out with expectant eyes.

Following Su Li's departure.

Yuan Shao and the others began to take Liu Bei seriously, feeling that this battle was worth watching, and they all walked out of Sishui Pass to the front lines.

…………

At this moment.

Several miles away, over a dozen Xiliang fierce generals stood before the formation, guarding Dong Zhuo in the center.

Below Sishui Pass.

Hundreds of thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry were lined up in perfect order thirty miles outside the pass.

A warrior with an aura as heavy as a prison and as mighty as a storm stood alone on his horse before Sishui Pass, looking down at the garrison on the walls with disdain.

This warrior.

He wore a seven-colored purple-feathered crown, a dragon-patterned battle robe, tiger-beast cloud-swallowing armor, and a precious belt with savage beast motifs.

With bow and arrows at his side, he held the divine Ghost-God Fang Fang Tianji.
