Lu Bu who heard the first line of what Chen Going said managed to calm down, but after hearing the second line he became angry again asking how could Lie Fan isn’t interested in his daughter, describing how her beauty is unparalleled and doesn’t lose to Lie Fan’s current wives, Chen Gong doesn’t understand how could Lu Bu sudden changed what he said previously while Zhang Liao can only shake his head.

Zhang Liao has been with Lu Bu way longer than Chen Gong has, He and Gao Shun were the longest serving Lu Bu since the time Lu Bu served Ding Yuan, then Dong Zhuo where met some of the generals who joined Lu Bu’s unit, and now serve Lu Bu as their Lord.

When Lu Lingqi was born, Zhang Liao remembers clearly how Lu Bu held a large banquet to celebrate the birth of his first descendant and daughter, making it the biggest banquet ever held that year.

After that, he saw how Lu Bu cared for and spoiled Lu Lingqi since she could walk, giving her everything she wanted. When Lu Lingqi was old enough to understand Martial arts, Lu Bu taught her at Lu Lingqi’s request.

Since learning martial arts, Zhang Liao watched how Lu Lingqi began to grow from a cute cub to a ferocious tigress, domineering just like her father but having the beauty of her mother, this created an aura that fascinated many people, especially Lu Lingqi women guards who followed her loyally.

Lu Bu was very overprotective of Lu Lingqi, he didn’t allow any boys to approach her even a male guard to protect Lu Lingqi when Lu Bu was at the highest of his protectiveness for Lu Lingqi.

So the scene he is watching right now is like a play that he watched over and over before, only with Lu Bu’s anger 2x time worse than usual.

When Chen Gong wanted to persuade Lu Bu again, Zhang Liao stopped him from talking about it anymore shaking his head and mouthing the words that he should try this next time when Lu Bu have cooled down.

Chen Gong sighed when Zhang Liao stopped him from talking anymore, he could somewhat understand Lu Bu’s feelings about Lu Lingqi liking Lie Fan who can be considered his nemesis in this era, but if they didn’t send an envoy to Lie Fan soon it will be to late.

Chen Gong leaves Lu Bu’s side, riding his horse toward Hou Cheng who is leading Lu Bu’s Army to gather the supplies right now, leaving Zhang Liao and Lu Bu together alongside the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

Zhang Liao: ”My Lord I think what Master Chen Gong just proposed is our only way to survive the battle against Cao Cao and Liu Bei.”

Lu Bu: ”You too Wenyuan?! You have been alongside me for a long time so you should understand why I denied Gongtai’s suggestion!”

Zhang Liao: ”Of Course My Lord, I have served to since I was young when we served Lord Ding Yuan, and when Young Lady Lu was born I was also there beside you waiting outside alongside Gao Shun, but Young Lady liking Lie Fan doesn’t mean Lie Fan like the Young Lady, especially since he has 3 wives who according to the rumors was stunning beauties.”

Lu Bu: ”Yes Qi’er matter is one of the reasons I denied the plan of us allying with Lie Fan, the other reason was how could I face him the man who defeated me even though he has two other people whose prowess was almost on the same level as me! Where would I put my face if I asked him for help?!”

Zhang Liao: ”My Lord do you remember the teachings that Lord Ding Yuan gave to us? About how our ego and pride could be our downfall when we knew we should ask for help but don’t do so?”

Lu Bu: ”Hah... Of course, I remember even though I still feel guilty for killing him, his teachings are the reasons that I’m still sane in leading all of you as a Lord.”

Zhang Liao: ”Then why don’t you face the problem of asking Lie Fan to become our ally the same as using Lord Ding Yuan’s teaching to keep yourself sane from leading us all? But changed it to keep us, especially Lady Yan and Young Lady Lu safe.”

Lu Bu who heard what Zhang Liao said became enlightened, he felt he could do that even though his face and pride would hurt a little but for the safety of his wife and daughter he could let that slide.

Feeling that the tension around Lu Bu has subsided, Zhang Liao heaves a such of relief as Lu Bu is finally persuaded, this is a skill that he and Gao Shun are proud of where they can persuade Lu Bu sometimes.

It will never work all the time but in dire situations or moments such as this, it can become a useful skill to have as Lu Bu can become as stubborn as an ox or even more stubborn than an ox when he has decided on something.

While all of that happens, far away in Yang Province Lu Jun is leading his unit to march toward Yan Baihu’s last known location after his army was fully rested, his generals Lu Bao and Lu Qian were riding beside him.

Lu Jun right now is reading a letter that he received from a messenger who introduced himself as Sheng Xian’s messenger, ordered to give this letter to whoever of Lie Fan’s Army Group he encountered.

When Lu Jun heard this, he wanted to order the execution of this messenger because he felt that Lie Fan’s Army Group was classified information.

Fortunately, Lu Bao who was on his side stopped him and whispered to him how Lie Fan’s Army Group had been known far and wide in the land, especially after the crusade against Yuan Shu who gained the attention of all the Lords of the land.

Thanks to Lu Bao’s words, Sheng Xian’s Messenger was spared unbeknownst to him of course. Lu Jun finished reading the letter and contemplated, the letter contained Sheng Xian asking for a short-term alliance against Yan Baihu.

Lu Jun carefully weighed the advantages and risks of forming a short-term alliance with Sheng Xian against Yan Baihu. On one hand, it could be a strategic move to weaken a common enemy, creating a temporary alliance for mutual benefit. However, he couldn’t ignore the potential consequences of such an alliance.

Lu Jun considered his Lord, Lie Fan, who might not view this alliance favorably due to him not consulting or informing Lie Fan first. If Lie Fan knows about this from other people or sources, he feels this could lead to distrust and strained relations between the two of them.

As Lu Jun pondered the dilemma, he envisioned potential outcomes where he succeeded in defeating Yan Baihu together with Sheng Xian, but also the risk of Sheng Xian betraying them after the common foe was dealt with.

With a furrowed brow, Lu Jun grappled between the advantages and disadvantages of the decision before him, after thinking for a while finally he decided to accept Sheng Xian’s offer of a short-term alliance.

The reason is that Lu Jun feels that Lie Fan will understand his decision, especially with how cunning Lie Fan is in playing the political board, managing to rise as one of the strongest Lords at such a young age.

Also how many prisoners or surrendered retainers of his enemy joined Lie Fan and were positioned in high ranks such as Liu Ye, Liu Ba, Jiang Qin, and many more proving that Lie Fan was not a paranoid person.

Lu Jun Informed the messenger to tell Sheng Xian that he would accept and that in 3 days he would reach his location to attack Yan Baihu from the rear, the messenger who heard the good news cupped his hand in excitement and said his gratitude to him.

The Messenger after giving this gratitude leaves Lu Jun’s army formation, riding his horse to the south at the fastest speed his horse can, to bring the news toward Sheng Xian.

Three days passed in tense anticipation as Sheng Xian led his army in a fierce battle against Yan Baihu’s forces, defending against Yan Baihu’s aggressive onslaught

The air was thick with anticipation and uncertainty, the outcome of the alliance was hanging in the balance. Sheng Xian strategically positioned his troops in a formation that could push back Yan Baihu Army momentarily, anxiously awaiting Lu Jun’s promised arrival.

When the battle was starting to look bad for Sheng Xian and his army, the distant sounds of marching footsteps and horse gallops echoed through the battlefield. Sheng Xian’s gaze intensified as he saw Lu Jun’s army emerging from the distance, ready to strike the rear of Yan Baihu’s Army.

With precision and coordination, Lu Jun leads his army to descend upon Yan Baihu’s unsuspecting army, catching them off guard, chaos ensued as Yan Baihu’s soldiers struggled to respond to the unexpected assault.

Yan Baihu and his generals were also caught off guard by the sudden attack, Yan Baihu ordered Yan Yu and Chen Mu to regroup his men and defend against the attack that came from their rear.

Sheng Xian who saw Yan Baihu’s army slowly descending to chaos seized the opportunity, launching a concentrated attack from the front, pushing in against Yan Baihu’s army creating a pincer movement that further disoriented Yan Baihu’s soldiers.

The element of surprise worked in favor of Lu Jun and Sheng Xian, turning the tide of the battle for Sheng Xian who’s starting to look bad for him previously.

Yan Baihu, caught between the two forces, faced a formidable challenge as his army slowly crumbled under the joint assault, and the chain of communication between his ranks also crumbled.

Amidst the clash of swords and the thunderous roar of battle, Yan Yu and Chen Mu fought side by side, leading their units to create a safe zone for Yan Baihu. The collaboration between the two allows Yan Baihu to be safe from danger, for now.

In the midst of the chaos, as Yan Yu and Chen Mu fought side by side, Chen Mu abruptly turned around, delivering a devastating blow to Yan Yu’s back. Yan Yu who was struck by Chen Mu, turned his head toward Chen Mu whilst in shock about what had just transpired.

Yan Yu with blood seeping from his mouth, faces Chen Mu with a mix of shock, pain, and anger. He struggled to comprehend the betrayal that Chen Mu committed, his voice strained as he asked Chen Mu why he did it.

Chen Mu with his expression cold and calculating, offered no immediate explanation to Yan Yu who is a dying man now, all of Yan Yu’s men were also in shock about what had just occurred when Chen Mu’s men suddenly attacked them taking them by surprise, just like what Chen My did to Yan Yu.
