Your Majesty, please spare Diao Chan; your yang energy is too strong.

Having followed Lü Bu in his campaigns over the years, I have earned credit for my hard work, even if I have not made any great contributions.

Unexpectedly.........

Besides, weren't you also fooled by him before? You just made the same mistake as him.

Are you taking out your anger on yourself?

Upon realizing this, a trace of resentment inevitably arose in Zhang Liao's heart.

However, he didn't say much, but just looked at Lü Bu calmly.

"What are you waiting for?"

Zhang Liao's attitude enraged Lü Bu even more.

Actually, Lu Bu was just saying that in anger, and he regretted it as soon as he said it.

However, given Lü Bu's personality, he was destined never to apologize to his subordinates.

So, they just went with the mistake.

They were hoping that once Zhang Liao backed down, the matter would be resolved peacefully.

Unexpectedly... Zhang Liao just looked at him calmly.

Having been repeatedly tricked by Zhou Heng, he is now extremely sensitive.

Seeing Zhang Liao's attitude now.

He was even more furious.

Because this attitude was seen as a provocation by him.

This completely enraged Lü Bu.

Being tricked by Zhou Heng is one thing.

He was even provoked like this by his own subordinates.

How could a man as powerful as Lü Bu possibly tolerate this?

Lu Bu was furious; his last shred of reason was completely overwhelmed by rage.

"Ugh, I'm so angry! Did you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

"Even without you, I, Lü Bu, will still roam the world freely."

"Take him out and behead him."

Lü Bu gave another order.

"This..." The armored soldiers hesitated.

"Are they all dead? I told you to push Zhang Liao down and execute him."

Seeing the soldiers around him looking at each other blankly and not making any move for a long time, Lü Bu became even more furious.

He immediately kicked over a nearby armored soldier and roared.

So, even you guys are laughing at me, aren't you?

They outwardly comply but inwardly defy them.

They all bullied me.

You're ignoring my orders, aren't you?

Lu Bu's face was contorted with rage.

"As ordered."

The soldier was startled and rushed in.

I was complaining madly in my heart.

How do we know if you're angry or if you'll change your mind later?

"Wait a minute, Fengxian, Wenyuan was worried about the loss of Xuzhou, he didn't let the other party go on purpose."

However, before they could finish complaining, a loud shout interrupted them again.

Who else could it be but Chen Gong?

"Moreover, Wen Yuan didn't know anything about the other party's background at the time."

"That's why they made the wrong judgment."

"Although Wen Yuan was wrong in this matter, his crime does not warrant death."

Chen Gong pleaded for mercy.

Previously, Chen Gong hadn't taken Lü Bu's anger to heart.

Because he only thought that Lü Bu was angry and would be fine after his death.

There's no need to go against Lü Bu at this time.

Therefore, there was no plea for leniency.

After all, this matter was extremely frustrating.

Moreover, he was such a proud man as Lü Bu.

It's inevitable that I need to vent.

So Zhang Liao will have to make do for now.

At worst, I can comfort Zhang Liao myself later.

Unexpectedly... this delay...

Lü Bu actually wanted to kill Zhang Liao.

This really stumped him.

How can one sit still?

“Gongtai, I have said that anyone who dares to plead for Zhang Liao will be punished the same as him.”

Lu Bu said with a grim expression.

Lu Bu, who was seen as being provoked by Zhang Liao, showed no respect for anyone.

“Fengxian, I know you’re angry, but now is not the time to act impulsively.”

"Although Wen Yuan made a mistake, his crime does not warrant death."

"Moreover, we are in dire need of manpower right now, and we have just taken Xuzhou. We are surrounded by powerful enemies and powerful families that are ready to rebel at any time."

"You shall kill Wen Yuan now."

"Wouldn't that be like cutting off your own arm?"

Chen Gong earnestly advised him.

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, but then, remembering Zhang Liao's provocative gaze, he said firmly again, "So what if I cut off my own arm? Does that mean I can't compete with the heroes of the world without Zhang Liao?"

Chen Gong: "Fengxian, think it over..."

Lü Bu: "Anyone who dares to say another word, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Chen Gong's expression also turned grim: "Is that really so?"

Lü Bu: "A gentleman's word is as good as a swift whip. My mind is made up, there's no need for further words."

As he spoke, Lü Bu coldly looked at the armored soldiers in the distance: "What are you waiting for?"

The soldiers dared not delay and forced Zhang Liao toward the door.

"Let's see who dares."

However, at that moment, a loud shout startled everyone present.

Chen Gong walked up to Zhang Liao with a cold expression, pushed aside the armored soldier next to him, and helped Zhang Liao up.

Lu Bu, veins bulging on his forehead, picked up Chen Gong and demanded, "Chen Gong, what do you want to do?"

Chen Gong remained unfazed: "Naturally, I'm trying to stop you from making a mistake, my lord."

"you........."

Lu Bu's face turned pale with anger. He was about to say something, but before he could finish, Chen Gong interrupted him.

"What are you?"

"Do you think you can bring the entire Mi family back by killing Wen Yuan now?"

"Do you think killing Wen Yuan now will wash away your previous shame?"

"People will only laugh at you, but you'll only kill your subordinates to vent your anger."

"If you act like this, then don't even think about making a comeback, and don't even talk about conquering the world."

"With your limited perspective, how can you possibly compete with the heroes of the world?"

"Wen Yuan did nothing seriously wrong, yet you killed him without cause. Tell me, who among your subordinates will dare to risk their lives for you in the future? Won't everyone live in fear?"

"I think we should just give Xuzhou back to Liu Bei instead."

Chen Gong said coldly.

These words were undeniably harsh.

He made Lü Bu's face turn red and then red again.

However, he didn't care.

I already gave you a way out, so if you didn't take it, don't blame me.

"And if you ask me, the person we should kill first is not Zhang Liao, but you, Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian."

"The reason you're angry is because you feel that you, the greatest warrior in the world, have been fooled by a bunch of rabble, right?"

"If word gets out, it will become a laughing stock."

"You're resentful, so you want to find someone to take the blame for you."

"But have you ever considered that if Wen Yuan wasn't worried about you, why would he have withdrawn without permission?"

"How could we have been fooled by that Yellow Turban rebel?"

"If you now shift all the blame onto Wen Yuan, won't that discourage your officials and make you a laughingstock among the other lords?"

However, Chen Gong had no intention of letting him off the hook.

He immediately spoke coldly again.

In the entire Lü Bu camp, who would dare not call Lü Bu their lord, who would dare to contradict Lü Bu to his face, and who would dare to curse Lü Bu like a grandson?

That must be Chen Gong.
