“All the gods of heaven and earth, although we three have different surnames, we swear today to become brothers.
From now on, we will join forces to be loyal to the country above and look after the peace of the people below.
Although we were born on different days, I wish we could die on the same day.
May all the gods of heaven and earth look down on our will, and if any of us breaks our oath, may they be punished by heaven!”

“The Emperor must have majesty.
Only then can we gain the respect of the people and firmly protect the ancestral shrine and its foundation.
But unfortunately, the current emperor is extremely weak.
What do you guys think?”
At Dong Zhuo's words, the ministers' bodies froze for a moment, and their hearts sank.
They barely managed to control their shaking eyes and looked at Dong Zhuo.
“I dare say.
King Jinryu, who loves learning and is intelligent, is truly worthy of sitting on the throne.
So, I want to depose the emperor and make King Jinryu the new emperor. What are your thoughts?”

"Your Majesty, are you in your right mind? Let's just say that killing innocent people a moment ago was a mistake.
But how do you explain the harm done to the elder Yeo Baek-sa now?”
“Think about it.
"What would happen if this adult went home and saw his family massacred? He would surely send men after us to exact revenge."
“That doesn’t justify killing an innocent person.”
When Jin Gong spoke as if scolding him, Cao Cao whipped his horse and spoke briefly.
“I would rather abandon the world than have the world abandon me.”
Jin Gong was left speechless by Cao Cao's reaction.

As Guan Yu left the barracks, Cao Cao poured him a cup of hot wine and offered it to him.
“Drink this and go.”
“I will drink that wine after cutting off Hwa-ung’s head.
“I’ll be back before the alcohol gets cold.”
Guan Yu dodged the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and leaped onto his horse.
Then I ran towards the enemy lines as if I was flying.

“Chosun, you are the only one who can save this country.
Now, the evil deeds of the traitor Dong Zhuo have reached their peak.
There were more than a few loyal subjects who could not contain their indignation and tried to kill Dong Zhuo.
But no one achieved their goal, and they were all killed by him.
Dong Zhuo has an adopted son named Lu Bu, who is said to be the greatest warrior in the world.
What Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu have in common is that they are greedy for alcohol and women.
After hearing you today, an idea came to mind.
I will promise to marry you to Lu Bu, and then I will offer you to Dong Zhuo.
If we create this kind of animosity between the rich, we can force Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo.
If this plan succeeds, you will save the world and eliminate the evildoers.
Chosun, do you think you can do this?

"Look ahead!"
At this time, Sun Ce raised his hand and pointed forward.
When the generals looked there, they saw a herd of men on horseback riding from the distant plains, kicking up dust.
The prince returned without a moment's delay and kept his promise.
The generals, impressed by Sun Ce's insight and Taishi Ci's loyalty, unconsciously raised their hands in cheers to welcome Taishi Ci and his 3,000 soldiers.

“I invited you to this place to promote reconciliation, not to cause conflict!”
As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, he grabbed the Fangcheonhwageuk and ran to a place far away outside the gate of the garrison.
Lu Bu, who had returned with the spear upside down, spoke to Liu Bei and Ji Ling in a solemn tone.
“The distance from here to that door is at least 150 steps.
Now I will aim my arrow at the branch on the tip of that spear.
If I correct you, know it as the will of heaven, reconcile, and go back.
But if the arrow misses, it may be the will of heaven to fight.
"At that time, I will not interfere in this matter. If either side disobeys me, I will aim that Bangcheonhwageuk at them."
Lu Bu's proposal was completely unexpected by both Liu Bei and Qi Ling.

The vanguard had no choice but to draw the swords of the soldiers nearby and swing them at the rushing enemy.
At this time, the vanguard had taken off not only his armor, but even his upper body.
The vanguard met the rushing enemy and stabbed and cut down about 20 people in an instant.
The general's men, frightened by the vanguard's bravery, began shooting arrows.
Arrows rained down on the half-naked body of the vanguard.
In an instant, the vanguard's body transformed into that of a hedgehog.
But even in that state, the vanguard did not fall and fought against the enemy.
At this time, an enemy soldier sneaked up behind the vanguard and stabbed him in the back with a spear.
Then, the world's greatest vanguard, who had been boasting of his reversal of momentum, could no longer endure it and collapsed with a scream, spewing out red blood.

"Yu Gong sat at the head of the table, and I was left kneeling at the bottom of the stairs.
Why doesn't the ball say a word of mercy to me?
Upon hearing that, Liu Bei nodded quietly.
Lu Bu, knowing that Liu Bei had accepted his request, gained confidence and pleaded with Cao Cao.
“If Your Majesty appoints me as a minister, I will become your right-hand man and do my best to pacify the world.
Please give me a chance.”
Although Cao Cao did not usually trust Lu Bu, he valued his bravery more than anyone else.
Cao Cao, still feeling a little foolish after hearing Lu Bu's plea, turned to Liu Bei and asked.
"What do you think?"
