"Drink, drink, ..., come and drink this cup."

It was already the late night, and the banquet in Xia Pi City showed no signs of stopping.

Those who can't drink much have already passed out drunk on the couch.

Even those who can drink a lot already have blurry eyes and are a little tipsy.

Zhang Fei's eyes were blurry and he couldn't speak clearly, but he was still very drunk.

I finally get a chance to drink, how can I not drink to my heart's content?

He drank a few more cups in a row, his eyes becoming increasingly listless. He changed into a comfortable position, lying on the couch with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Sun Qian looked at everything in front of him with clear eyes.

Because of what Uncle Liu said that day, the string in his heart was invisibly tighter than that of others.

At today's banquet, he drank a few glasses and then put down the glass in his hand.

It was boring and annoying not to drink among a group of drunkards. He had heard the drunken talk around him dozens of times, but the drunkards kept repeating it over and over again.

Sun Qian felt helpless as he heard this meaningless sentence over and over again.

At this moment, a soldier ran in in panic.

"It's bad. Lu Bu is leading his troops into the city."

Sun Qian stood up instantly and walked in front of the soldiers.

"Who? Lu Bu?"

"Yes, it is Lu Bu. He is leading his men to attack this side now."

Upon hearing the news, Sun Qian felt as if he was sitting in an ice cellar and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

Lu Bu really came, and Uncle Liu's worries before leaving actually came true.

Remembering what Liu Huangshu had said to him before he left, Sun Qian forced himself to calm down. He quickly walked to Zhang Fei, picked up a glass of wine, and poured it over the drowsy Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei shivered from the wine and sobered up a little.

What's going on? Is it raining?

"Lü Bu has entered the city." Sun Qian anxiously pointed out the key to the problem.

"Lü Bu?" Zhang Fei sobered up instantly after hearing the news. "The three family slaves are really abominable. Come, bring me my armor so I can kill him."

"General Zhang, this is not the time to show off your bravery. The Emperor's uncle has ordered that if there is any change in Xia Pi City, you must take your men to Huaiyang immediately and not stay for a moment."

"But..." Zhang Fei was somewhat unwilling.

"But what? General, are you confident that you can defeat Lu Bu? If you go out now, you will be captured by Lu Bu."

The shouting and screaming outside the door gradually got closer, and Sun Qian's words became more and more harsh.

Zhang Fei pondered for a moment. Although Lu Bu was a hateful guy, his martial arts were indeed not weak.

Even if I hadn't drunk, I couldn't beat him. If I fought now, I would be even more defeated. It seems that now, except running away, there is no better way.

He hurriedly went to look for war horses and weapons in preparation for his escape from Xia Pi.

Seeing that Zhang Fei had understood, Sun Qian did not stop, but rode a fast horse, took advantage of the chaos to go out of the city gate, and galloped northward.

……

……

When Liu Yu saw Zhang Fei fleeing in a panic, a cold look flashed across his eyes.

At this time, Zhang Fei was kneeling in the hall, apologizing to Liu Yu.

"Uncle, it's all my fault for being greedy for wine. I let Xia Pi fall into the hands of that bastard Lu Bu. Uncle asked me to lead the troops to attack. I will definitely kill Lu Bu and atone for my sins."

Liu Yu had no expression, remained silent, and stared at Zhang Fei without saying a word.

Silence, dead silence.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became very depressing. Zhang Fei's forehead was covered with sweat, and his back was already wet with sweat.

He didn't know what punishment he would face, but judging from Liu Yu's attitude, the punishment would not be too light.

It was unknown how long it had been before Liu Yu managed to utter a few words from between his teeth.

"Come here, drag him out and behead him."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fei's brain was instantly confused. To be honest, although he thought Liu Yu would punish him, he did not expect the punishment to be so severe.

The reason is very simple. The Han Dynasty was in decline, and Emperor Liu had the world in his heart and took it as his responsibility to revive the Han Dynasty. Now, with many heroes and princes emerging, it was the time to use people. How could he be killed for a small mistake of his own?

After Liu Yu gave the order, Xu Chu could not stand any more. Although the two of them usually competed with each other and neither of them would give in, they had similar personalities and actually had a good relationship. When he heard that Liu Yu wanted to kill Zhang Fei, how could he remain silent?

He bowed hastily and said, "My lord, Yide was greedy for wine and made a big mistake. Please forgive him this time for his past merits."

"Merits are merits, faults are faults. Merits should be rewarded, faults should be punished. Let Yide speak for himself about his past contributions. Have I ever been stingy with my reward for him?"

"My uncle has never been stingy with his rewards to me." Zhang Fei replied in a low voice.

"In that case, do you have anything to say about your punishment?"

"Uncle, I have nothing to say. I am willing to be killed."

"Good, you are a real man if you dare to take responsibility for your actions." Liu Yu slowly raised his hand and issued an order, "Drag him out and behead him!"

Hearing Liu Yu's praise, Xu Chu thought that things had taken a turn for the better, but Liu Yu remained firm in his attitude and did not change at all.

"My lord, the world is still unsettled and it is time to use more people. Please spare Yide's life and let him make up for his crime with merit."

"Since it is a chaotic time, severe punishments must be used. If everyone is like Yide, with no regard for military discipline, how can the soldiers fight? How can we talk about pacifying the world?"

Liu Yu's words were fierce, with no intention of giving in. Zhang Fei's dark face turned pale. When he heard how Uncle Liu treated him, he felt so regretful that his intestines turned green. If it weren't for his drunkenness, how could he have been in such trouble today?

If God gave him another chance, he would definitely quit drinking.

A real man should die when he dies, and there is nothing to be afraid of. However, dying in such a way made Zhang Fei feel very cowardly.

He was originally a butcher in Zhuo County. It happened that the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. The imperial court allowed local recruitment of soldiers, and he shared the same ideals as Liu Bei and Guan Yu, so he had the opportunity to fight on the battlefield.

Thinking of the promise he made to Liu Bei and Guan Yu when they swore brotherhood, Zhang Fei became even more sad. He couldn't help but shed tears.

The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother are incompetent, so they have to go first. We will be brothers in the next life.

Xu Chu pleaded for a long time, but seeing that Liu Yu was not moved at all, he became very anxious.

But he was not good at speaking. After thinking for a long time, he could not think of any reason. He could only look at Liu Yu helplessly, like a wronged child who did not get a gift.

Liu Yu saw the expressions of both men. There was no change on his face, and he did not give orders immediately. Until he saw the soldier standing outside the door and winked at him, he waved his hand gently.

"Take Yide away and prepare for execution."

The soldiers bowed and accepted the order, then escorted Zhang Fei out.
