Volume 4 Chapter 7: Don’t tell me this is the capture of Liu by Yi De (2)

Yi De POV

Ha~~~~ Hu~~~~ I gripped the Serpent Spear in my hands tightly as I breathed in and out. I’d heard before from my family that it was only cold when snow was forming and not when it snowed but I never believed it until today.

On the second day after big sister captured w.a.n.g Zhong, I stood before the Xu state city gates once more.

“Must be captured alive.” Though big brother was not beside me, I could still hear his words repeated in my head over and over.

“Opening the gates~~~~” Hearing the message from the people above the city walls, I ordered the troops to step back and then with a dull clunk, the gates began to open up slowly.

What greeted me was a s.h.i.+ny wintry landscape as I whipped my horse.

Yi De understands so don’t worry big brother.

Liu Dai did not leave his camp and answer the challenges so I could only bring some coins and bring the confrontation to him.

I ordered my troops to set up camp about 5km away from Liu Dai’s camp, and told a subordinate to impersonate me and bring 1,000 troops to his camp and yell and scold him.

Liu Dai doesn’t know what I look like of course, so giving him a false impression is definitely useful.

After about an hour, my subordinate returned to camp and reported what happened to me in a helpless tone, “Lord Zhang Fei, the other side defiantly stays in his camp no matter what kind of insults I use.”

“Ah, that’s fine. Just continue impersonating me for now.” I smiled casually as I said so. She seemed to think that it was weird for me to find this outcome favourable but she did not ask further and left soon after.

As expected, that little Liu Dai is afraid of me and does not dare to leave camp.

I took a swig of wine brought from Xuchang– Ha~~ It really is sweet and trong~~~ I wonder if I’ll ever get to drink this wine again in future,

“Hai~~ That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Liu Dai!” I scolded softly and did my best to prevent myself from taking another swig and lose control.

Yi De, you got to use your brain~~ — Is what I kept saying to myself.

Liu Dai has a numerical advantage so a forceful attack won’t work. If I confront him directly, it will be very disadvantageous for my side. So the crux of the matter is how to get Liu Dai to leave his camp and attack me as soon as possible. For him to attack me, he must have 100% confidence in ensuring my defeat. So, the best way is to let him find my weakness.

Liu Dai POV

“Is the one outside still scolding?”

“Report, they’ve gone back.”

“Remember the face of that general called Zhang Fei. If she ever comes again, we will stay in camp on guard.”

“Yes, sir!” The soldier acknowledged the order and left the tent but I still found it hard to be calm.

“Imperial Chancellor…” I said as I looked at the ‘曹’ flag, and felt both admiration and helplessness for my lord.
