Chapter 25: Liu Bei: A duel under the city walls! Has a fan of Gan appeared on the ramparts?
Bu Si roared,
“Listen up, you lot on the other side! I am the Yellow Turban commander Bu Si. Hand over your wealth and women at once!”
The voice from the opposite side was even louder than his, resonant like a great bell, completely drowning him out:
“Your Grandfather Zhang Fei is here! Why haven’t you dismounted and surrendered yet?”
Many Yellow Turban soldiers felt their eardrums ache, secretly shocked,
“Damn, that round-faced man has a massive set of lungs!”
Zhang Fei continued to bellow,
“Open your dog eyes and look! This is my elder brother, Liu Liu Xuande, a scion of the Han imperial clan, the most prized pupil of Lu Zhi, the very Liu Liu Xuande who slew Zhang Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao!”
Bu Si was startled and took a closer look,
“Handsome features, large ears—it’s Liu Bei!”
These commanders knew exactly who had killed Zhang Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao,
“It’s actually Liu Liu Xuande!”
Bu Si almost turned his horse around to flee!
Liu Bei had first broken Cheng Cheng Yuanzhi, then lifted the siege of Qingzhou, and later killed Zhang Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao. As the most prized disciple of the Yellow Turban nemesis Lu Zhi, he already held a fearsome reputation among the Yellow Turban ranks!
The deputy general Chen Bo hurriedly said,
“Commander, Liu Bei only has about five hundred men behind him, and they are just county soldiers from Xiaopei. Now is the perfect time to take his head and present it to the Heavenly Duke General!”
Bu Si thought about it—that’s right! Why hadn’t he thought of that?
“I hear that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun under Liu Bei’s command are all fierce warriors. We must proceed with caution!”
At this moment,
Liu Bei spurred his horse out from the ranks,
He raised the long spear in his hand and shouted loudly,
“Bu Si, do you dare to fight me, Liu Bei, one-on-one?”
Bu Si was amused,
“Liu Bei, a Han imperial scion, a mere Confucian scholar, actually dares to challenge me to a duel?”
“Fine, I’ll capture him directly!”
Bu Si kicked his horse’s belly and charged out, brandishing his ring-pommel saber,
“Liu Bei, today I shall avenge the Earth Duke General and the People’s Duke General!”
“Giddyap!”
Bu Si held his ring-pommel saber high, screaming as he charged toward Liu Bei!
Liu Bei also spurred his horse to accelerate!
“Whoosh!”
As the two horses closed in, Liu Bei suddenly thrust his spear,
A scream was heard from Bu Si. His entire body was skewered by the long spear in Liu Bei’s hand like a candied hawthorn, dead in an instant!
Liu Bei tossed Bu Si onto the ground like trash, raised his dripping spear, and pointed it at the opposite side,
“Will you lot surrender, or do you wish to end up like this thief?”
The Yellow Turban soldiers were terrified out of their wits!
“The commander didn’t even last one move?”
“This Liu Bei is fierce!”
The formation fell into even greater disarray!
Liu Bei’s soldiers shouted loudly,
“Mighty! Mighty!”
Zhang Fei shouted loudly,
“Big Brother, don’t kill them all! Leave some for me!”
Over there, Chen Bo hurriedly shouted,
“Don’t panic, everyone! They don’t have as many men as we do! Charge together! Kill Liu Bei, and the Heavenly Duke General will grant a heavy reward!”
“Whoosh!”
A long spear suddenly pierced through Chen Bo, carrying him flying several meters away before he fell to the ground!
Liu Bei nodded to himself. His spear-throwing practice hadn’t been in vain; he had the strength, and his aim seemed pretty good too!
The Yellow Turban army was in chaos. From that far away, Liu Bei had actually killed Chen Bo with a spear throw!
Just how much strength did he have?
“Run!”
“Flee!”
Without the restraint of their commander and deputy, the Yellow Turban soldiers instantly turned into scattered sand and fled toward the rear!
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun didn’t need Liu Bei’s signal; they had already led two hundred men each to slaughter them,
One slash per person—it was too easy!
Zhang Fei roared,
“Don’t run! Stay and fight me for three hundred rounds!”
The Yellow Turban soldiers ran even faster. Just a moment ago, Zhang Fei had swatted a whole row of them to death with his spear—three hundred rounds? They couldn’t even last one!
Zhao Yun led the cavalry in a simple line formation, sweeping across and harvesting the lives of the routed Yellow Turban soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables!
The entire battlefield was filled with the wailing of the Yellow Turban thieves!
Liu Bei shouted,
“Kneel and you shall live!”
“Kneel and you shall live!”
Many Yellow Turban soldiers hurriedly threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground!
In the livestream, the netizens were restless,
“Damn, damn, Liu Liu Daer is quite fierce.”
“Who would have thought that in just a few months, Liu Bei would transform from a veteran shut-in into a fierce warrior!”
“That spear thrust was truly stunning!”
“I’m a fan of this Liu Daer thief now!”
The onlookers in Xiaopei, watching the battle from the city walls, were also whispering among themselves. ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
“County Magistrate Liu is truly too strong!”
“Nearly ten thousand Yellow Turban thieves were wiped out in an instant!”
“With County Magistrate Liu here, we don’t have to be afraid anymore!”
“That spear thrust—I didn’t even react before the bandit leader was dead!”
A young woman was looking at Liu Bei under the city wall with admiration.
Although she wore coarse cloth clothes, she could not hide her charming posture, beautiful appearance, and skin as white as jade!
“County Magistrate Liu is truly brave. Killing those Yellow Turban bandits was well done!”
“Traveling a thousand miles to deliver his mentor, fearing no power, and exterminating the Yellow Turban bandits—a true hero indeed.”
This girl was Gan Mei, the biological mother of A Dou in history, Lady Gan.
Her village had been burned, killed, and looted by the Yellow Turban bandits, forcing her to flee into Xiaopei, so naturally, she had no love for the Yellow Turban bandits.
As she stared intently at Liu Bei’s figure, she listened with relish to the crowd discussing him. She knew everything about Liu Bei’s recent deeds, and her admiration grew even deeper.
Several elders looked at Gan Mei, then at Liu Bei under the city wall, their minds becoming active,
“County Magistrate Liu doesn’t seem to have taken a wife yet.”
“How can he manage without someone to look after him?”
“Although the Gan family is of humble birth, the fortune-teller said her future status would inevitably be noble.”
“It seems this nobility lies right here!”
The men hurriedly had their wives make arrangements...
Liu Bei, under the city wall, didn’t know that while he was still killing enemies, he had already been arranged with a top-tier fan! ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
