New Three Kingdoms Tales: Starting as the expressionless Liu Bei

The axemen really charged forward. Liu Bei snorted coldly, his heart filled with disdain for Yuan Shao.

He is no longer the flustered college student he once was; now, he is the true nineteenth warlord.

He commands three controllable and unpredictable figures: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Tang Xiaohu. He also possesses thousands of elite soldiers and the trump cards of rules and wine to manipulate Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

He didn't even consider Yuan Benchu ​​a threat.

He immediately lowered his body and gave instructions to the three people behind him in a very fast voice.

"Second brother, to the left! Third brother, to the right! Little Tiger, stay by my side and Brother Gonglu's side, don't leave our side for even a moment!"

He paused, then emphasized, "Remember! No killing, no eating! Knock them all unconscious, do not kill a single one!"

Despite the urgency of the situation, he dared not forget that crucial rule for even a moment.

[Rule 4: The Unseen is not invincible. After killing or eating someone, the Unseen will enter a state of arrogance. Its mood becomes agitated, and its weaknesses are exposed. At this time, the arrogant will inevitably be defeated!]

If the enemy is still not defeated, it means you haven't killed enough. Please continue to stack the Pride buff on him.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both reckless brutes; once they're blinded by rage, he's unstoppable. If their arrogant state stacks up hundreds of times, forget about killing the enemy; they'll be in serious trouble on their own side first.

But as long as he knocks them unconscious, and doesn't kill or eat them, this rule won't be triggered. As long as the rule remains in his hands, suicide plus fine wine is enough to make those two brutes obedient.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei added sternly to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei:

"Listen carefully! If you dare to kill or eat even one person, I will immediately commit suicide!"

After finishing his beating, he changed the subject and started stuffing sweet dates into his palm.

"However, as long as you do as I say, you can drink as much wine as you want tonight!"

Upon hearing the word "wine," Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes lit up simultaneously, and their previously burgeoning murderous intent was instantly extinguished. They obediently nodded in agreement.

The battle erupted instantly. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both exceptionally brave generals, and with their skillful control, knocking out the group of axemen one by one was not difficult for them.

Yuan Shao stood on the command platform, his eyes fixed on the battlefield. Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had only knocked out the axemen one by one, and had actually refrained from killing a single one, he cursed under his breath.

He originally intended to use the lives of these axemen to instill arrogance in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, leading them to their own destruction, but unexpectedly, the plan failed.

Without further hesitation, the eerie aura that had been suppressed within him for so long exploded, instantly activating his bizarre transformation. He intended to personally snatch Gongsun Zan's eyeballs.

Liu Bei had been keeping a close watch on Yuan Shao out of the corner of his eye. Seeing the tiger stripes appearing on Yuan Shao's face and the pair of gleaming white shark fins rapidly forming on his arms, Liu Bei's expression changed drastically. He immediately shouted sharply at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei:

"Second brother, third brother, activate your supernatural powers and stop him!" As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his twin sword from his waist, holding the blade horizontally in front of him to prevent the two brothers from taking advantage of the chaos to stab him in the back and break the damned soul chains.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei exchanged a glance, let out a roar, and charged at Yuan Shao with their weapons in hand.

Yuan Shao simply stood with his hands behind his back, a contemptuous sneer on his half-human, half-tiger face, remaining motionless.

Seeing his underestimation of his opponent, the two men became even more enraged and quickened their pace.

However, just as the weapon was about to touch Yuan Shao, the figure vanished without a trace, like smoke scattered by the wind.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei missed their target and, unable to stop in time, were swept together by the immense inertia and crashed into each other, falling face-first into the dirt in a sorry state.

Oh no! Liu Bei's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart sank.

He immediately recalled Xun Yu's evaluation of Yuan Shao in the new Three Kingdoms.

Yuan Shao, sometimes near, sometimes far.

This guy actually has the ability to teleport!

Sure enough, a cold, biting wind silently swept past him from behind.

Liu Bei's pupils contracted slightly, and he turned around abruptly. He saw Yuan Shao hovering five meters behind him, his feet off the ground, like a weightless ghost, the smile on his tiger-like face becoming even more eerie and chilling.

Yuan Shao gave Liu Bei no chance to react and floated straight toward him.

Liu Bei was in imminent danger! His mind raced as he frantically searched for a way to defeat the enemy.

Tang Xiaohu was right next to him, currently riding a horse in a bizarre state.

But it's unrealistic to expect the strangely transformed Tang Xiaohu to stop Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao can teleport; even if Tang Xiaohu blocks his way, Yuan Shao can teleport again and get behind him.

A brilliant idea flashed in Liu Bei's mind, and he immediately came up with a plan. He would have Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Tang Sanzang surround him, forming an impenetrable protective circle.

As long as there is no gap, no matter how fast Yuan Shao teleports, he cannot get close to him.

But the thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he ruthlessly extinguished it.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had just gotten up from the ground and didn't have time to surround them. Besides, even if they had, he would never have entrusted his back to these two brutes.

A beast is a beast, and a monster is a monster; they can never be tamed, they can only be kept in chains.

With Tang Xiaohu guarding behind him, he felt reassured. As for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei sneered.

Not familiar with it.

The encirclement tactic wasn't working; he had to find another way. In a flash, a fragment of memory suddenly crashed into his mind.

Previously, in that eerie outhouse, Tang Xiaohu provoked Yuan Shao, who was caught in a strange situation, into a rage with just one sentence.

At that time, he speculated that Hua Xiong's weakness lay in his warhorse, while Yuan Shao's weakness might be his extreme thirst for recognition!

Without time to think, Liu Bei immediately turned his head and shouted at Tang Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, quickly question him! He's using the same trick again!"

The phrase "using the same old tricks" was like a key, instantly unlocking Tang Xiaohu's memories.

He shuddered, immediately recalling the thrilling standoff in the outhouse that day.

He took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and roared at the elusive ghostly figure:

"Yuan Shao! Our last duel is still unresolved! Didn't you say your shark fin could cleave through everything in the world? My body is impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire! If you have the guts, come and try to cut me again!"

However, Yuan Shao merely glanced coldly at Tang Xiaohu with his scarlet eyes. Without pausing, he floated straight toward Liu Bei, his hoarse voice filled with contempt:

"After I've dealt with Liu Bei, I'll come back and have some fun with you."

Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed slightly.

Oh no! Yuan Shao has actually become intelligent!

His mind raced, and he immediately thought of a possibility.

When they last clashed, Yuan Shao had not yet been completely corrupted by the supernatural. He was in a state of being half-human and half-supernatural, his mind was in chaos, like a child who had not yet learned to walk.

But now that so much time has passed, that strangeness has probably already completely taken over his body.

The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more convinced he became that this conjecture was almost certainly true. Back then, Yuan Shao walked slowly and leisurely, and would never have been able to teleport, but today he suddenly displayed such ghostly movements.

He was caught off guard by a lack of information and was careless!

Liu Bei clenched his fists, a wave of regret washing over him.

It's a pity, a lament, and a hateful thing. After acquiring the three strange figures of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Tang Xiaohu, he became arrogant and thought he was invincible.

Pride comes before a fall! He had actually committed this ironclad rule that he knew best.

If he can leave this place alive today, he must keep his composure and never let things turn out like they did today.

Tang Xiaohu reined in his horse and stood in front of Liu Bei, his face ashen.

He gritted his teeth, channeled all his strength into his right arm, and hurled the spear at Yuan Shao, attempting to buy some time.

However, Yuan Shao's figure only flickered slightly before he instantly teleported. The spear grazed his shoulder and embedded itself deeply into a distant pillar. He was now even closer to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's face remained as calm as a still well. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Keep having facial paralysis, keep having facial paralysis!

He silently gripped the double-edged sword in his hand, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force, preparing for a desperate fight with Yuan Shao.

At the critical moment, a highly recognizable colonel's accent suddenly appeared; the voice preceded the person.

"Sun Wentai's defeat was entirely within my expectations!"
