The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

Does that mean she is here to challenge someone to a duel?

Although there is a long tradition of challenging someone to a fight before a battle, it is rare throughout history for someone to actually accept the challenge.

After all, there may be generals with low intelligence and angry recklessness, but there are definitely no fools.

Even though he was leading his soldiers, he still risked his life in a one-on-one duel with the enemy's commander. This behavior was tantamount to sending his soldiers and his life away.

Even if one is stronger than the other, a normal general would not accept the challenge for the sake of the overall situation, let alone the other party is Lu Bu.

"Is the person coming Liu Zhaoqing?!"

At this moment, an attendant beside Lu Bu shouted to the coalition forces in the distance.

Under the influence of his divine gift of being able to amplify his voice, Liu Zhaoqing and others in the distance could hear it clearly.

Before Liu Zhaoqing could say anything, Liu Bei frowned and asked, "Why did Lu Bu come to Zhaoqing right away?"

"Zhao Qing is the leader of the alliance, and Lu Bu is most confident in his martial arts, so..." At this time, Guan Yu behind Liu Bei paused and said, "Maybe he wants to challenge Zhao Qing to a duel?"

"A duel? Looking for Zhao Qing?" Zhang Fei glared at him and said bluntly: "That's too shameless!"

"Zhao Qing, don't agree to that little brat!"

Liu Zhaoqing smiled and said, "Of course I won't agree, but I don't think she's here to challenge me in a one-on-one fight."

He nodded to Zhao Yun who was standing beside him, and then he shouted, "Marquis Changping is here, why don't you surrender quickly?!"

Lu Bu frowned slightly and looked at Liu Zhaoqing. Although they were far away, Liu Zhaoqing could still feel the sharpness coming from his scarlet eyes.

But strangely, this sharpness disappeared very quickly.

It was Lu Bu who turned away his gaze on his own initiative.

Then, Lu Bu nodded to the person behind him, who immediately dismounted, came to Lu Bu, raised the scroll in his hand high above his head and presented it to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu did not open it, but handed it to his subordinate who was responsible for passing the message.

"What on earth is this guy doing?" Gongsun Zan looked confused.

Yuan Shao also frowned, completely unaware of what Lu Bu was doing.

Cao Cao knew that he should set up camp quickly at this time, otherwise the danger would increase greatly when it gets dark.

But like everyone else, she didn't quite understand what Lu Bu was doing.

And if Lu Bu was still watching there, it would be difficult for the coalition forces to set up camp under her nose.

As someone who had fought with Lu Bu before, Cao Cao knew that even if they were so far apart, as long as Lu Bu was willing, she could rely on the speed of Red Hare to reach him in less than five breaths and turn the coalition forces upside down.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao’s expression suddenly became solemn after seeing Lu Bu coming out of Hulao Pass.

Just at this moment, Cao Cao suddenly saw Xun Yu looking slightly surprised, as if he had discovered something.

He rode his horse to her side and asked, "Does Wen Ruo know what she wants to do?"

Xun Yu shook his head slightly: "I can't guess what you want to do, but..."

She looked at the subordinate who was shouting at Lu Bu, or more specifically, at the thing in the subordinate's hand.

“…That should be an imperial decree.”

"Imperial edict?" Cao Cao was surprised.

Similarly, Liu Zhaoqing had already seen the object that looked like an imperial edict.

Even though it was difficult to see clearly from a distance, Liu Zhaoqing could clearly feel the faint but obvious breath of a real dragon coming from afar. This was a breath that only the emperor of the Han Dynasty possessed among mortals.

So that was definitely an imperial decree.

"'I have been on the throne for five days. I heard from the Prime Minister that Zhao Qing, the Marquis of Changping, has made great contributions again. He defeated the Wuhuan at Bailang Mountain and defeated the Xianbei in Mobei. The Prime Minister and I are very happy. Therefore, I will appoint Zhao Qing as the General of the Northern Expedition and reward him with ten thousand catties of gold, three thousand pieces of brocade, and one million coins. He can go to the capital to receive his reward!'"

"'Emperor Xie, edict issued on the seventh day of the sixth month in the first year of Yonghan.'"

After the servant finished reading it, a dragon roar suddenly came from his hand.

This movement also made everyone in the coalition forces understand that it was actually an imperial edict.

For a moment, people were in panic, and many of them subconsciously wanted to kneel down.

But at this moment, Cao Cao on the side immediately shouted to the back: "No one is allowed to kneel, or beheaded!"

Then he signaled Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren behind him to supervise the army, but Yuan Shao on the side was still hesitating.

"What is Cao Cao doing? Isn't that an imperial edict?" Zhang Fei didn't understand what Cao Cao was doing.

"Eldest sister..." Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head.

"Eh? Big sister, you also asked us not to kneel, but aren't you usually the most concerned about the Han Dynasty..."

"Yide, look at the leader." Liu Bei interrupted Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei looked at Liu Zhaoqing and found that Liu Zhaoqing gave orders to Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao beside him almost at the same time as Cao Cao, asking them to supervise the army and conveyed the message not to panic.

Then he nodded to Xun Yu, who immediately mounted his horse and rode towards Yuan Shao, whispering in his ear, probably to explain the situation.

Just when Zhang Fei was confused, Liu Zhaoqing suddenly looked at her.

"General Fei, please come over here."

"Ah? Me?" Zhang Fei pointed at himself.

"Go quickly." Liu Bei urged.

Zhang Fei rode his horse to Liu Zhaoqing's side with doubts.

Just at this moment, another loud shout came from Lu Bu's side.

"Why hasn't Liu Zhaoqing, the Marquis of Changping, accepted the order yet?!"

"I'll talk and you shout." Liu Zhaoqing ignored the front and said to Zhang Fei on the side.

Zhang Fei was stunned. Isn't this treating him as a messenger?

However, when she turned her head to look, she found that the alliance army was in a strange atmosphere, and her eldest sister and second sister were looking at her, and their eyes were telling her not to mess around.

I thought that Liu Zhaoqing was not the kind of person who would play tricks on others, and he must have something important to convey, so he came to find me.

So for the first time ever, Zhang Fei did not get angry about being treated as a "messenger".

After seeing Zhang Fei's agreement, Liu Zhaoqing looked in the direction of Lu Bu and then said, "The traitor Dong Zhuo has usurped the imperial power and changed the emperor without authorization. Now he has even issued a false edict. His crime should be cut into pieces by swords and pulverized into ashes."

It turned out to be a swear word. Zhang Fei immediately became alert when he heard it, but she was still confused.

"A fake imperial edict? That's a fake imperial decree? Wasn't there a dragon roar? And the fluctuations when the soldier shouted were just like the emperor himself..."

"Yide, let you speak first." Liu Zhaoqing had no time to explain and asked Zhang Fei to pass the message first.

The imperial edict was indeed authentic. Even the fabric it was made of was of the best quality. The handwriting was definitely written by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty himself. It was even likely guided by the Three Dukes and others, which made it appear that the emperor's grace was great when it was read out.

However, Liu Zhaoqing and the alliance could not admit that it was the real imperial edict.

They were advancing under the name of opposing Dong and clearing the court. If there was something missing, it was a legitimate successor to the imperial throne.

The latter can make all the actions of the alliance reasonable, and no matter what they do, it can be said that they are instructed by the heir to the royal power.

But the alliance had no crown prince and no second emperor.

Therefore, once the alliance admits that this is a genuine imperial edict, it will fall into the paradox of "clearly under the pretext of opposing Dong and clearing the court, but now the king wants to reward but refuses to accept the edict and enter the palace."

That would lose the crucial "legitimacy".

Perhaps in extremely chaotic times, this kind of "legitimacy" is not important, but now, Liu Zhaoqing must be certain that it is a false imperial edict.

Only in this way can we continue to implement the original plan and stabilize the morale of the military and the people.

Even if it couldn't be more true, now it can only be false.

When Zhang Fei shouted out Liu Zhaoqing's words, not only Lu Bu, but all the soldiers in Hulao Pass heard it clearly.

Lu Bu frowned slightly, then she took a deep breath and spoke:

"As expected, you are only a loyal minister on the surface. In fact, you are just like these rebels. You are just here to disrupt the capital and the world in the name of removing Dong."

Lu Bu's voice reached the ears of Liu Zhaoqing and the people around him, and Liu Zhaoqing spoke immediately.

"Last month, the governor of Youzhou reported my expedition to the north to His Majesty. However, more than a month later, Your Majesty has only just given me the reward. This is obviously Dong Zhuo's plan. He was so bold as to coerce and use the former emperor to forge the imperial edict, thus creating the image of a real dragon. His treacherous heart is obvious."

Zhang Fei continued to speak and convey Liu Zhaoqing's words.

After these words were spoken, the princes and soldiers in the alliance gradually returned to stability.

Liu Zhaoqing was not only answering Lu Bu, but also explaining to the allied forces. This statement obviously gained the recognition of many people.

Even Lu Bu was silent for a moment.

Then Lu Bu continued to speak on his own, saying: "The Prime Minister did not threaten the King of Hongnong. If you think this is false, why don't you go to the capital? Wouldn't the truth be revealed then?"

Before Liu Zhaoqing could answer, Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows and said, "Go to Beijing? Isn't that just going to die? Only a fool would do that."

The words were bad but the meaning was clear, and it saved Liu Zhaoqing the trouble of turning them into long sentences.

"If you are just worried about your life, I can guarantee that no one will harm you if you go to the capital with you," said Lu Bu.

"You just need to go see His Majesty and receive your reward. Do you still think this is a fake edict?"

"To be with a man like you who killed his master and father? You're almost head-broken!"

Zhang Fei's answer finally made Lu Bu narrow his eyes and feel angry.

"There is no place for you to talk here. I can hear him. Get out of here."

"What? Are you so arrogant, Red Radish?"

"Red radish?" Lu Bu looked at Zhang Fei and his eyes quickly turned cold.

Zhang Fei thought that Lü Bu didn't understand, so he explained: "It's just vegetables that grow in the soil. Aren't those two tufts of hair on your head radish leaves? Oh, no, I forgot that you are not tall either. You should be called 'Red Dwarf Radish'."

"court death."

Lu Bu pulled Red Hare's reins, and Red Hare immediately jumped up and rushed towards Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei's eyes flashed with a gleam when he saw this. She said this just to irritate Lu Bu. Otherwise, when she came up with a bunch of nonsense, Liu Zhaoqing might really be in a dilemma.

"Come and show me how much weight this little radish of yours is!!"

Zhang Fei laughed twice, then holding the Zhangba Snake Spear, he rode his horse towards the fast-moving Lu Bu.

"Third sister!" Liu Bei hurried forward but was stopped by Liu Zhaoqing.

"Sister Xuande, you and Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others should be careful to prevent Lu Bu from rushing in." Liu Zhaoqing said.

Lu Bu and the divine horse under his crotch are really too abnormal. If she really charges into the formation, not only can she destroy all of them by herself, but she will definitely cause considerable casualties to the coalition forces and seriously affect the morale.

Therefore, it was actually the right choice for Zhang Fei to face Lu Bu in a duel.

"But Yide..."

"Don't worry, we'll go help her." Liu Zhaoqing said.

Liu Zhaoqing then looked at Zhao Yun, who had been waiting for a long time and immediately stepped forward with his spear.

At the same time, Zhang Liao on the side, after confirming that Liu Zhaoqing nodded to him, also raised his halberd and headed forward.

The reason why Liu Bei and Guan Yu were not allowed to go and recreate the famous scene was because Lu Bu was indeed too terrifying now, and Liu Zhaoqing was worried that Liu Bei might encounter an accident.

At the same time, Liu, Guan and Zhang are also the alliance's trump cards, so it's best not to use them now.

In addition, Liu Zhaoqing had long wanted to see how powerful Lu Bu was and who was more powerful between him and his two generals.

Now Lu Bu came here impulsively only because he was angered, and his main target was still Zhang Fei. In addition, Zhang Fei had demonstrated his extraordinary physical fitness in previous battles.

It is estimated that only she can withstand a direct attack from Lu Bu's halberd, so it is safer for Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun to go to fight.

This is also an excellent opportunity to test Lu Bu's strength.

Seeing Zhang Fei and Lu Bu coming into contact with each other, the huge Red Hare kicked directly at Zhang Fei on his horse.

Zhang Fei snorted coldly: "How dare a beast like you show off your hooves in front of your general?"

After saying that, she raised her left arm and grabbed Red Hare's ladder directly, then turned the spear with her right hand and stabbed it straight into Red Hare's abdomen.

But at the same time, Zhang Fei suddenly felt a murderous intent beside him, and his body immediately leaned backwards.

A huge painted halberd came flying rapidly from a distance, passing less than an inch from the tip of her nose, and dangerously went straight into Lu Bu's hands.

Just as Zhang Fei stood up and hadn't looked up, she felt a huge momentum coming from above her head.
