My Father in Law is Lu Bu

ith animosity.
It was because of Pang Tong that they attacked Lu Bu and Liu Mang, losing a lot of their comrades while obtaining nothing in return.
Naturally, the soldiers also felt angry.

“Third Brother, shut up!” Liu Bei shouted at his brother after calming himself a little.

“Brother!” Zhang Fei became dissatisfied, still blaming Pang Tong for Chen Dao’s death.
“Brother! Was it worth it for the Xiliang Cavalry?” It was the first time Zhang Fei questioned his brother.

Liu Bei himself did not know whether his actions had been worth it.
Chen Dao was his most loyal general.
He was like another one of Liu Bei’s brother.
They had gone through many hardships together and Chen Dao was not placed any lower than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Liu Bei’s heart.
The White Eared Soldiers were also needed for him to make a comeback but Liu Bei had lost both.

On the other hand, Liu Bei had managed to save Zhang Xiu and also his reputation as a benevolent person.
He may not know whether this was worth it but he knew that Pang Tong did not betray him.
This series of events had made him feel even older.

“Milord! This is my, Pang Tong’s fault.
Please execute me to bring justice to the soldiers!” Pang Tong was no longer able to see the future.
He wanted to save Zhang Xiu to show Liu Bei’s benevolence and subdue Zhang Xiu.
He had expected casualties amongst the White Eared Soldiers but he did not expect them to be completely routed.
Lu Bu had planned to take the White Eared Soldiers the entire time.
For them to have such a scheme, it must have been made by Chen Gong.

Pang Tong was certain that his talent was no less than others like Chen Gong and Guo Jia.
Besides that, he had the advantage as he was younger.
Pang Tong would be able to support his Lord for over ten years but Chen Gong and Guo Jia may not be able to do so.
Pang Tong believed himself superior, forgetting that younger also meant less experienced.

“How could this be Shiyuan’s fault?” Liu Bei laughed bitterly and shook his head.
He looked at the soldiers, knowing that there would be a mutiny if he did not give a good explanation.
Liu Bei then knelt down on the floor.

“Milord.
What are you…?”

“Brother?”

“Milord!” Liu Bei’s actions had caused everyone to be stunned.
They felt as though they had said something wrong.

“Men.
If there is anyone to blame, it is me, Liu Bei Liu Xuande.
I am incompetent.
I am powerless to protect the Han.
I am powerless to defeat the Traitor Lu!” Liu Bei spoke as he wept, using his same old tricks.
He would have already made a name for himself if he worked under others as he was brimming with talent despite his bad personality.
He could have become a commander.
Cao Cao asked the Emperor to make him the Left General and also be the Royal Uncle because of his talents but Liu Bei refused to work under others.

Liu Bei wanted to achieve his dreams of sitting in the Imperial Canopy.

“Brother! This is not your fault, why are kneeling on the ground?” Zhang Fei also knelt down.
The others also did not dare to continue standing when their Lord was kneeling.
“It is that Fatty! It is Pang Tong’s fault!”

“Milord.
How could I let you take the blame for me?” Pang Tong felt touched.
Even if Liu Bei was acting, the act of kneeling on the ground for him had made him frantic.

“Shiyuan.
There is no need for you to say anything.”

“Third Brother.
You do not understand.
The Military Advisor did all this for me and the Han.
The era of the Han is ending and traitors are everywhere.
Cao Cao had deceived the Emperor.
General Yang Wu protecting us from them is our blessing.
That is why, General Yang Wu cannot die.
He is also one of the hopes for the Han.
I am sure Shuzhi would also sacrifice his life for General Yang Wu if he had the chance!” In order to save Pang Tong, Liu Bei went through a lot of hardships to praise Zhang Xiu.
Both Chen Dao and the White Eared Soldiers were already gone.
There was no purpose in blaming anyone.
If Liu Bei had not turn things around so quickly, he would lose Pang Tong as well.
At that time, there really would not be any hope left for him.
With Pang Tong around, he would still have some hope.

“If Third Brother needs to blame anyone, blame me.
It was my orders that killed Shuzhi and the other soldiers! If the others are still dissatisfied, I am willing to die in the Military Advisor’s place!” Liu Bei then took out his sword but it was definitely impossible to kill himself with Zhang Fei and Liao Hua nearby.
He made it look as though they were forcing him to die.

“Third General, let go! Someone needs to be responsible for the lives of those lost!” Liu Bei said without listening to reason.

“Brother… you!” Zhang Fei never cared about saving Zhang Xiu.
He knew that all this happened because of Pang Tong.
In fact, Zhang Fei did not look at Zhang Xiu kindly ever since Liu Pi was forced to die.

“Milord this is not your fault.
This is because of that Slave of Three Surnames! He is the reason Chen Dao and the White Eared Soldiers died!” Liao Hua was the one that knew what to say.
He could see that Liu Bei have already set up the stage.
He also could not let his patron, Pang Tong, to die.

“Yes! It is that Slave of Three Surnames! He is the one that killed General Chen Dao and all of our comrades!” Liu Bei’s soldiers suddenly started to agree.
The hatred had all been transferred to Lu Bu.

“Third Brother.
You…” Liu Bei smiled when he saw everyone changing their opinions of Pang Tong.
All that is left was Zhang Fei.

“I understand, Brother! Military Advisor, I am sorry for accusing you wrongly!” Zhang Fei was unwilling but he still acted according to his brother’s desires.

“Third General is too polite.
You are simply someone who says what he thinks!” Pang Tong would also not pursue the matter after Zhang Fei apologized.

“Milord, we must quickly leave!” Pang Tong suddenly said.
They were based near the forest but it was not certain that Lu Bu would not reach here.

“Yes.
We must leave!” Liu Bei nodded.
The soldiers also scattered.
They would leave Yangzhou together with Zhang Xiu and the Xiliang Cavalry.
