Chapter 32: One day I will definitely kill you!

  In his heart, he strongly despised Cao Cao's despicable behavior. Li Yu, this foodie, decided to eat back! He didn't care about the ghostly eyes Liu Bei and Cao Cao exchanged, and he continued to stuff food into his mouth, not caring what the two big shots thought in their hearts;

  "Cough, cough!" Cao Cao coughed twice to attract Liu Bei's attention and asked: "Brother Xuande! What do you think of this alliance?" "Hehe... I am ashamed that Dong Zhuo couldn't defeat them," Liu Bei sighed and shook his head.

  "Yes! When people's hearts are not aligned, they cannot achieve great things. I wonder what expectations Brother Xuande has?" Cao Cao asked with a hint of intrigue, his mind secretly calculating something. Meanwhile, Li Yu listened intently to Liu Bei's words, no longer eating, and thought that Liu Bei's military insight and political acumen were still very astute. It seemed that people had underestimated him, overemphasizing his "crying skills" instead.

  Liu Bei, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, has been fighting battles and suffering defeats. It's better to say that he has been defeated repeatedly but still fights on, rather than saying he has fought repeatedly but been defeated. He never lost confidence and never complained, focusing solely on his ambition and striving for it with unwavering determination. This unyielding will is the hallmark of a true hero.

  He is indeed a monarch of his generation. When Li Yu heard his evaluation of the Allied Army, he immediately looked at him with new eyes;

  "Liu Bei is not talented, but he wants to take the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility, to revive the Han dynasty and eliminate the bandits! This can also be considered worthy of the noble blood flowing through his body!", Liu Bei cannot be said to be without grandeur, although he is in a desperate situation, he still has an unyielding spirit and his ambitions remain.

  "Oh? I wonder how you plan to achieve your ambitions?" Cao Cao was very interested, Li Yu had said that this person had wild ambitions when he first met him, and indeed he did!

  Liu Bei: "I think! The root of the great chaos in the world lies first and foremost in the disorder of people's hearts. Therefore, to bring peace to the world, one must first win over people's hearts; and the foundation of people's hearts lies in following the Way of Heaven, practicing benevolence and righteousness, and upholding loyalty and filial piety! Only then can the world be pacified and the great Han dynasty restored to its former glory!"

  "I don't think so! I believe that pacifying the world depends first on strategy and cunning. When strategy and cunning are employed, talented individuals will surely gather. When talented individuals gather, great accomplishments can be expected. From this, it is possible to bring peace to the world!", Cao Cao;

  "What? Brother Mengde, aren't you thinking of usurping the Han and establishing yourself?" Liu Bei retorted, because in this era, not everyone could grasp the power struggle, only the high-and-mighty emperor could, Cao Cao's viewpoint made him very dissatisfied.

  "Haha!", Cao Cao waved his hand. "Xia, 500 years ended with Shang; Shang, 500 years ended with Zhou; Zhou, 300 years and suddenly rose to the Warring States period, at that time the world was in great chaos, bringing out heroes one after another. From this we can see, the rise and fall of a country's fate is all up to heaven's will, without chaotic times, where would heroes come from? Alas, if it were a peaceful and prosperous era, you! Would only be a humble mat-weaver and shoe-seller, and I! Would only be a lowly officer under the gate. If there weren't these chaotic times, how could we achieve our ambitions?"

  "I don't have the ambition to usurp the Han and establish myself, however! —— As far as I know, there are indeed people among these vassals who are like that!", Cao Cao said with profound meaning.

  "Yes! I've seen through these people, they're not thinking of eliminating the bandits and restoring the Han Dynasty, they clearly want to take advantage of this chaotic world to gain a foothold for themselves and reap the greatest benefits! They clearly want to seize power in the chaos! Seize the world in the chaos!", Liu Bei said indignantly.

  "Yes! I've exhausted myself, front and back, just to maintain this discordant and treacherous alliance. If we don't maintain the alliance, Dong Zhuo will be invincible under heaven... Alas!"

  Two future big shots sighed and shook their heads, the two of them also considered themselves to be a good match, chatted idly for an entire afternoon.

  On the other hand, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were drinking with Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Cao Ren and Cao Hong, while Xiahou brothers and Yue Jin were busy managing and training their troops and did not attend.

  "It's no fun just drinking! Why don't we have a few rounds instead?" Zhang Fei's eyes rolled around, and he chuckled to himself. His intention was nothing more than to give the leaders of the Cao group a warning, to vent his anger, which naturally came from Li Yu.

  "Third Brother, stop being reckless!", Guan Yu scolded with a stroke of his beard. However, no matter how one looked at him, the half-open eyes revealed nothing but disdainful expression, which made others unbearable.

  "Alright! Let me, Old Zhang, exchange a few moves with you!" Zhang Fei and Wei Yan faced off, their eyes locked in a fierce stare, both of them burning with the desire for battle. After all, Wei Yan had gained great fame after capturing Hua Xiong, and Zhang Fei was also eager to test his skills.

  Xu Chu also wanted to go to war and beat this person who was disrespectful to his teacher Li Yu, but this was just a test of skill. He was not enthusiastic about it, what he really wanted was to kill him!

  The yard is too small, and the two of them riding horses would definitely not be able to show off their skills. Therefore, they decided to engage in a battle on foot. As for fighting on foot, Dian Wei was exceptionally skilled, and if one were to discuss horseback riding skills, Lü Bu would be unmatched. However, when it comes to the skills of fighting on foot during this late Han period, Dian Wei is also an unparalleled existence.

  One person held a spear with an eight-foot-long snake head, and another person held two black wind halberds, standing in the courtyard, surrounded by onlookers.

  "Take it!", a loud roar, Zhang San's voice dominated the scene, his long spear came down like a powerful axe, splitting the air with a "hua shan" move. Dian Wei was also a powerful warrior, his large halberd clashed hard against the spear with a loud "thud". The three people sitting inside, Li Yu and others, were startled by the sudden noise and quickly rushed out to see what was happening.

  "Cao Ren! What's going on here? Why are they still fighting?" Cao Cao asked discontentedly. "Hehe, big brother! These two, Guan and Zhang, are indeed heroic and chivalrous, and the younger brothers were itching for a fight to test their skills, so they just started!" Cao Ren was not particularly skilled in martial arts himself, but he loved watching others perform, and as he spoke, he didn't forget to keep an eye on the two men fighting.

  On the other side, Guan Yu was also explaining to Liu Bei;

  In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged over 40 moves, yet neither had gained the upper hand. Instead, their voices grew louder and louder, as if they were competing in a shouting match! The soldiers from the military camp kept coming to watch and cheer them on, which only added to their excitement;

  "Wow! Look out!", the long spear in his hand danced with a cold light, Zhang Fei changed his previous method of fierce and intense fighting, instead using a more agile approach. The spear darted left and right like a snake spitting its tongue, he already knew that his close combat tactics were inferior to Dian Wei's, because Dian Wei's double-headed spear was shorter and more suitable for close-range combat. With a coarse yet subtle strategy, Zhang Fei naturally changed his tactics, using the long spear's advantages to prevent Dian Wei from getting too close.

  This is just a test of strength, if it's really a life-and-death struggle, Dianwei would have paid the price of being stabbed by Zhang Fei with two spears to rush over, as long as he rushes over, Zhang Fei will basically be dead.

  "Stop! We should leave, My Lord!" Li Yu said, looking at the sky. On one hand, he was afraid that the two would really start a fierce fight and couldn't stop, which would be bad for both of them. On the other hand, he didn't want to alert the various lords in the allied army, as anyone with such powerful generals would notice you, and future developments would also be subject to their precautions, all because of one spar, not worth it;

  "Hum! You, Ming Zhuo, we should go!" Cao Cao shouted immediately. Liu Bei saw Cao Cao stop shouting and naturally also stopped Zhang Fei. After a round of farewells, Cao Cao led his Cao group out of Liu Bei's large camp;

  Li Yu walked a little later, and when he passed in front of Liu Bei, he whispered: "One day I will kill you! You must become Cao Gong's great enemy!", Liu Bei was stunned, and did not speak for half a moment;

  As he walked to the door, Cao Cao turned back and clicked his tongue: "Tsk! Indeed a hero!", "Big brother! How did you chat with Liu Bei?", Cao Ren asked.

  "What about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's drinking?","Ah, great! These two are loyal and righteous! Their heroic spirit is overwhelming! Great!", Cao Ren praised.

  "What a pity that such a talent has fallen into Liu Bei's hands!" Cao Cao said angrily, "Big brother! Isn't it... this Liu Bei hasn't been recruited by you?" Cao Hong;

  "He has grand ambitions and will not be used by me! Hua De is right! I only hope that this man will not become my great enemy in the future!" Cao Cao patted Li Yu's shoulder: "Fortunately, I also have two fierce generals like Guan Zhang! And there are great talents that Liu Bei cannot recruit! Let's go! Go back and rest!"

  "My lord is overpraising me!", Li Yu said humbly;
