Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 366 New 3 Kingdoms 6

When the guards heard this, they looked up and glared. They saw three riders standing not far away. One of them was wearing cloth and no armor, and they held different weapons. The one in the middle had two swords on his waist and looked like his father had just died. The one in the green robe held a blue dragon crescent blade and his small eyes showed nothing. Another one carried a snake spear on his shoulder and looked at the corpse on the ground with excitement and anger. It was obvious that he was the one who had just spoken.

"What are you looking at? I said he deserved to die, and he deserved to die!" Zhang Fei felt very uncomfortable with the looks from his personal soldiers.

"When did our general offend you, so that he unfortunately died in the battlefield today and was humiliated by you?" None of the soldiers who could be selected as the personal guards were simple.

"Hahaha, who told him to steal the credit from my second brother. Hua Xiong was originally the one my second brother wanted to kill, but he got involved. Tell me, do you think he deserves to die?" Zhang Fei said angrily, pointing at the corpse on the ground.

"Hey, third brother, don't talk nonsense." Guan Yu said slowly, stroking his beard.

"Brothers, as the saying goes, the dead are the greatest. The general has unfortunately died in battle, but he was humiliated by such a villain. If I don't seek justice, I will not be a man. I am sorry for the friendship we had with our former comrades. Kill him!"

A group of personal soldiers were enraged by Zhang Fei's words. They rode their horses a few feet away and then turned around to charge towards the three brothers.

"Hahaha, no need for big brother or second brother, I, Old Zhang, can poke ten thousand transparent holes in all of you by myself!" Zhang Fei laughed and rode his horse forward.

From the moment Zhang Fei mocked people for having a good death to the moment the gunfight broke out, Liu Bei didn't say a word. Now he and Guan Yu even watched Zhang Fei killing Gongsun Zan's personal soldiers.

The three brothers were already on the battlefield, and they were not wearing armor or helmets, especially the one who was killing people with his hair dishevelled. Such strange attire made the passing generals and soldiers think they were the remnants of the Xiliang Army, so they joined the battlefield one after another. Liu Bei and Guan Yu saw that more and more people were besieging Zhang Fei and went to help.

By the time Cao Cao passed by and called for a stop, the three brothers had already killed several generals and dozens of soldiers, not counting the wounded.

Because Cao Cao was not wearing armor like the other three, everyone believed that they were wearing the same pants and were not satisfied, so they brought the case to the alliance leader Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao wanted to bang his head against the wall. The dead generals and soldiers were not only Gongsun Zan's, but also those of other princes. Even several of his own soldiers were killed by these three people.

"Liu Xuande, I respect you as a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and I treated you with courtesy for joining the coalition against Dong Zhuo as a commoner. Why did you allow your subordinates to insult the generals who died in the battle? Not only that, but you also attacked and injured my coalition forces. Countless generals and soldiers were killed and injured at the hands of the three of you. What do you have to say about this?" Yuan Shao asked Liu Bei, who had a deadly look on his face.

Liu Bei was staring at the ground and was about to answer, while Zhang Fei wanted to use his sword to reason, but then he found that his weapons had been confiscated.

"Leader, I, Cao Mengde, have something to say about this matter! Fighting on the battlefield is life and death, and it is natural for Zhang Fei and his brothers to mock their sworn brother after his death because he had taken away their chance to fight. We should be understanding. On the contrary, those soldiers were intolerant and could not appreciate heroes. They are dead and it is not worth making a fuss over this. Putting aside the facts, is the general who caused the fight not wrong?" Cao Cao stood up to defend Liu Bei and his three brothers.

How could there be such a shameless person in the world! Cao Cao's words not only chilled the hearts of the princes who attended the meeting, but even Cao Ren could not accept it.

"Brother, two nephews from my Cao and Xiahou families also died at the hands of these three people, and you still want to speak for them!"

"Cao Ren, the dead have no value, but the living do!" Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren and reprimanded him righteously.

"Cao Cao, that was my general. He just killed Hua Xiong and died on the battlefield to support the Han Dynasty, but he was humiliated by a common man. And you actually defended such a jealous person who can't distinguish right from wrong. I, Gongsun Zan, will never coexist with you!" The honest man Gongsun Zan was angered by Cao Cao's shamelessness.

"Haha, Cao Mengde, your words and actions today really opened my eyes!" Yuan Shu was so angry that he laughed.

"Come here, take Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei out and beat them with twenty military sticks. After the execution, expel them from the barracks!"

Yuan Shao saw that the situation in the tent was tense and if it dragged on any longer there would probably be a fight, so he quickly ordered the three brothers to be dragged out and beaten up before being driven away. As for how they would be settled later, it had nothing to do with him, the leader of the coalition.

Liu Bei still had a dead look on his face. Guan Yu wanted to resist but his weapons had been confiscated and the other side had weapons in their hands. After weighing the pros and cons, he endured it. Zhang Fei not only struggled but also cursed Yuan Shao and a group of princes.

During the execution, Cao Cao had a gloomy face. He did not expect that the princes would not give him face and punish Liu, Guan and Zhang for a few worthless dead people. He felt sad and angry.

"If you don't listen to me, you will regret it later!"

Cao Cao glanced coldly at the princes in the tent, turned around and walked out. He thought that Liu, Guan and Zhang had been defeated and were now being carried out of the barracks, so he was going to take in these three people.

This performance stunned all the princes. They were all fools. Are you, Cao Cao, a smart one?

Cao Cao openly protected Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei when they were causing trouble, which became the fuse for the split of the already unstable coalition. However, at the moment, Dong Zhuo was still there and no one had openly fallen out with them.

No one knew how Dong Zhuo was defeated, the director didn't film it anyway. He fled back to Luoyang with his remaining troops, packed up the emperor and all the officials, burned the palace and fled to Guanzhong, saying that recent celestial phenomena and nursery rhymes suggested that the Han Dynasty could only be saved if the capital was moved to Chang'an.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he immediately ran to find Sun Jian. The two agreed that Cao Cao would pursue Dong Zhuo and rescue the emperor, while Sun Jian would attack Luoyang and pack up and wait for the emperor to return.

Sun Jian thought this was a good idea. He gave his 3,000 cavalry to Cao Cao as requested and led his infantry to attack Luoyang.

A few months later, Yu Xian returned to Luoyang in a disguised form as a soldier under Sun Jian. Sun Jian walked into the ruins of the palace with his two sons and his generals, and after saying a bunch of treasonous words, he suddenly walked up the steps and lifted a burning board with his sword.

Cheng Pu picked up a brick-like seal from under the wooden board, turned it over and looked at the eight large characters on it and became excited. He told Sun father and son what this thing was in public. After listening to it, Sun Jian had something in mind. The eldest son Sun Ce even knelt down on the spot holding the thing and uttered something extremely treasonous.

"Congratulations, Dad, you can be crowned emperor!"

"Call your uncle the emperor," Yu Xian moved his fingers when he heard this. Sun Jian was still happy about his son's words when a gust of wind suddenly blew and broke a military flag next to him. Both Sun's father and son turned pale, especially Sun Ce, who at this moment did not have the spirit of being Yingzi's father at all.

"Congratulations, my lord! This is a sign from heaven, meaning that you should discard this military flag and replace it with the royal flag!"

Cheng Pu's words made Yu Xian dumbfounded instantly. I broke the flagpole to remind Sun Ce to be sensible. Your explanation is completely wrong. This is a military flag, not a reading comprehension question in the Chinese college entrance examination!

"My lord, Cheng Demou is making a big mistake. The strong wind just now blew off the military flag. It was God's punishment for the eldest son's disrespectful words. I hope my lord will think twice." Huang Gai originally wanted to flatter him, but he had his own ideas and what he said was just a spoiler.

"Huang Gai, what do you mean?" Sun Ce couldn't stand such words.

"My Lord, Cheng Demou, what happened when the seal was in the hands of Qin II? What happened when it was in the hands of Wang Mang? Didn't they still die and their country was destroyed? Besides, we followed our lord to defeat Dong Zhuo and support the Han Dynasty. How could we find the imperial seal and not hand it over to the leader to return it to the court in the future? Instead, we planned to hide it and plot the throne!"

Huang Gai's mind was as clear as a mirror but his body was out of control. He said it directly, making Sun and his sons and all his confidants present look very embarrassed.
