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

That's utterly hopelessly stupid.

Liu Bei was both angry and anxious.

But at this moment, Ganlu's heart was completely broken by what the other party had said earlier.

He could no longer listen to a single word.

"Liu Bei, you don't need to speak so grandly and eloquently."

"I, Ganlu, am devoted to you wholeheartedly, and I would be willing to die for you."

"If you say a word of concern today, it proves that you care about me."

"I would jump off the city wall without hesitation."

"I will never be an obstacle for you."

"But you disappointed me so much today."

"That's true... You, Liu Bei, a member of the Han imperial family, how could you possibly care about a mere weak woman like me?"

A bitter look appeared on Ganlu's face.

His expression was one of grief.

"I was just being too unrealistic."

"I was just being delusional."

"In that case, I will grant your wish."

"Didn't you say that women are like clothes and brothers are like limbs? Well, this piece of clothing has some ideas of its own today."

"I don't want to make your clothes anymore."

Ganlu closed her eyes in anguish, and silent tears slid down her cheeks.

"How dare you, you lowly wretch... how dare you do this!"

"Do you know what? You're the dumbest woman in the world."

"You, you, you, you're driving me crazy!"

Liu Bei was furious.

He was furious with the woman in front of him.

He's already made it so obvious, doesn't he know that he's doing it on purpose?

My purpose is to save you.

Could it be...

What a stupid woman, hopelessly stupid.

Indeed, women are stumbling blocks on my road to success.

Women are like clothes, brothers are like limbs—this saying is true.

Liu Bei was so angry that he became incoherent.

He could imagine what would happen once the news got out today.

Even if I were to capture Xuzhou, I would become a laughingstock throughout the land.

This made him both angry and anxious.

"Kill! Fire arrows and kill this woman! Kill this stupid woman!"

Liu Bei was furious.

He had initially harbored some feelings for the woman in front of him.

But this is what the other person said.

All it brought him was endless anger and humiliation.

There is only death.

Only then can it be washed.

Liu Bei's eyes were bloodshot, and a terrifying killing intent emanated from them.

"Big brother........."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hesitated, as if they wanted to say something but then stopped.

"No need for further words, my mind is made up. Since this foolish woman has already made her decision, why should I, Liu Bei, care about a mere piece of clothing?"

"Brothers are like hands and feet, women are like clothes, just a piece of clothing. Release the arrow."

Liu Bei roared.

Even if he is rational, cunning, and resourceful.

Faced with such a situation, all that remained in my heart was endless anger.

Even though you are wholeheartedly devoted to the other person.

Although they belittled her to the point of worthlessness, it was ultimately all for the sake of saving her.

And what about what the other party said?

It not only portrayed Liu Bei as a heartless and ungrateful villain.

This made him a laughingstock.

Once this news gets out, one can imagine how people will view Liu Bei.

Such humiliation can only be overcome with bloodshed.

As long as Ganlu lives, Liu Bei will forever be a laughingstock to the world.

"Hahaha, everyone says that you, Liu Bei, are benevolent and righteous, but in my opinion, you, Liu Bei, are nothing but a hypocrite who pretends to be benevolent and righteous."

"I just want to break free from your control and stop being your clothes."

"You get so angry and embarrassed."

"With a mindset like yours, how can you possibly revive the Han Dynasty, or accomplish anything great?"

"Liu Bei, you have disappointed me greatly."

Ganlu was even more disappointed.

She wasn't unaware that Liu Bei had deliberately said those words to save her.

But a woman is a woman.

It is a very emotional creature.

Sometimes, a single word from you can make her willing to die.

Sometimes, a single sentence is enough to drive him crazy.

And what I just said.

It also completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope in her heart.

"Sister-in-law, brother... no! Brother only said those things to save you... you've misunderstood him. Brother, let us brothers charge again?"

Guan Yu quickly pulled back the enraged Liu Bei.

"Shut up! What kind of person do you take me for, Liu Bei?"

“I, Liu Bei, would never risk the lives of my brothers for such a foolish woman.”

"Fire arrows."

Liu Bei roared.

This situation has now made Liu Bei a laughing stock in the world.

If he were to disregard the lives of his men for the sake of this foolish woman...

Let's try again.

So what did Liu Bei become?

How does the world view Liu Bei?

"Clap clap clap."

"What a show, Liu Bei! I really underestimated you."

Chen Gong clapped his hands and chuckled.

He never expected Liu Bei to abandon the attack on Xuzhou for the sake of a woman.

It's just a matter of delaying things.

Once Lü Bu returns, the situation will likely reverse.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise.

Even if Liu Bei loses Xuzhou this time, his reputation will be completely ruined.

"Chen Gong, you villain, how dare you devise such a vicious plan! I will kill you!"

Liu Bei gritted his teeth.

After saying that, he stopped wasting words with the other side and directly ordered the entire force to attack.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were helpless.

They could only endure endless humiliation and launch a fierce attack on the inner city.

An army driven by desperation is bound to win.

Chen Gong was forced into a series of defeats.

"Xuzhou can no longer be defended. Proceed according to the original plan."

Looking at Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei bravely leading the charge, Chen Gong finally sighed.

The only option was to order the troops to fight and retreat simultaneously.

Evacuate from the west gate.

.............

Finally, after a chaotic battle that lasted for an hour,

Liu Bei finally managed to breach the inner city.

However, even after breaking into the inner city, the cost to him was still enormous.

Of the original 8,000 soldiers, less than 4,000 remain.

Almost everyone was injured.

Even top-tier warriors like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were exhausted.

"Everyone, hold the gates of the four prefectures and do not allow anyone to approach the gates."

"Although we have now captured Xuzhou, the crisis is not yet over..."

Liu Bei forced himself to remain calm.

"Yes."

The generals accepted the order.

"By the way, have you found that bitch's body yet?"

As if he had thought of something, Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei standing to the side.

"There was a chaotic fight just now, so I didn't pay attention. However, we didn't find any enemy corpses when we cleaned up the battlefield."

"It seems that Chen Gong took him away."

"They want to use this as their last bargaining chip to threaten us."

Guan Yu pondered for a moment and then said...

"Never mind, we've already torn off all pretense of civility. I believe Lu Bu's army will arrive in Xuzhou soon."
