Chapter 327 Xun Yu’s Ideal Emperor (1/2)
Chapter 327 – Xun Yu's Ideal Emperor
Lu Bu escaped into Li Feihong's dimension. On the other side, Khan stopped chasing after Lu Bu.
The battle of Henan came to a conclusion as Khan regained the county from Tong's troops. Still, he had to abandon it since they had to flee back to Chang'An.
'Hu, now I know why Dong Zhuo razed the Luo Yang to the ground that day.'
Khan recalled his past life memories. His cringe smile and his frown were bitter, yet he felt better.
…
Meanwhile, the red knight Lu Bu entered Li Feihong's dimension as the last man. Blood spurted from his mouth as he was at his limit.
The Double Accel had many side-effects as it damaged his internal organs and his body circulation system to the point that it could cripple him for life.
Practicing this skill without life-saving skills or a physician nearby was fatal. By using this space-and-time law twice, Lu Bu had a delayed injury within his heart and blood vessels.
'Tong … Did you go through all of these when you fought me?'
Lu Bu collapsed, causing all soldiers to panic. Li Feihong and Zhang Liao came to bring him to this world's infirmary afterward, which this god of war would be treated there for some time.
…
Zhang He's Ghost Legion's 50,000 men and Ding Yuan's 10,000 cavalries arrived at Henan two hours after the siege at Henan had ended.
Unfortunately, Khan swiftly retreated from the county and marched through Hangu Pass already, leaving nothing for Zhang He and the others to find.
”A pity. We are too late.”
”Well, Feihong said they are alright, so we're still in good shape.”
Zhang He gazed toward Hangu Pass at the horizon, analyzing all reports they received from the clan chat. He wanted to consult Ju Shou, but the strategist was on the other side of the river at the moment.
The general took off his knight steel helmet, revealing his face. Zhang He was wearing a ninja robe and mask beneath his armor as he had prepared for any battle in the middle of the night.
He took off the mask, breathing in clean air.
”Let's guard Henan County and wait for our Lord.”
Ding Yuan nodded, ”Agreed. Well, my son is injured, and I don't think I have the right mentality to continue fighting.”
”You have a good son, Lord Ding.”
”Hahaha. Well, he's good as long as he doesn't have that temper.”
…
…
…
The alliance army occupied Hulao Gate within two days. Because these clone troopers of Khan did not fear death, the siege was more difficult than everyone had predicted.
The shameless Yuan Shao claimed the credit of being the first to breach the gate when all forces from the first wave were exhausted from the battle.
”Put our banners on top of the wall! The Yuan Family is the victor! We are the one that occupies Hulao Gate!”
Yan Liang bellowed with a smile. It was Tian Feng's plan to boost the credibility of the Yuan Family.
Cao Cao and Tong shook their head. They had more important tasks to do rather than fighting for the credit, so they left Yuan Shao alone.
On the other hand, Kong Rong did not like what Yuan Shao was doing. While Tong and his troops were marching through the gate, Kong Rong went to Tong's side and gave his opinion.
”Grand Commander Zhang, we should correct Yuan Shao's attitude before it's too late. If he kept boasting like this, the commoners would believe in his words, and it would look bad for you.”
Tong turned around and whispered to Kong Rong, ”Leave him be. The cockier he becomes, the more pain he will suffer once he falls. Instead of worrying about me, I want you to take your troops and return to Beihei. Go home and protect your city from the future possible struggle against Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, or Tao Qian.”
”W-What do you mean?”
”Yuan Shao and I will solve this enmity soon, and your territory might get caught in it during the process. For now, go home and protect your clan and your city. I see that you're loyal to her Majesty, so I'm willing to help you in her place. Will you trust me?”
”O-Of course, Grand Commander! I will inform my men at once!”
Kong Rong ran back to his men.
A few minutes later, Gongsun Zan did the same with Kong Rong by coming to give Tong a piece of advice.
”Little Zhang, about Yuan Shao, shouldn't you correct him? He's taking your credit even though he barely did anything.”
Tong sighed and said the same thing to his senior brother. As a result, Gongsun Zan also prepared to withdraw from this coalition.
”By the way, senior brother. I wish to ask you for a favor.”
”Oh? What's wrong?”
