Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

After Li Ji rushed out with a sword, Gan Ning, Zhou Yu and Xu Chu also rushed out.

However, there seemed something weird between these three people.

Gan Ning kept pleading for Sun Ce and wanted to step forward to protect Sun Ce, but Zhou Yu was vaguely standing in front of Gan Ning, blocking Sun Ce's way.

Even the Han sword in Li Ji's hand was pulled out from Zhou Yu's waist.

As for Xu Chu, he was chasing forward with his head covered, purely for the purpose of protecting Li Ji at all times and preventing Sun Ce from getting angry and counterattacking, which might hurt Li Ji.

This scene not only stunned Wei Yan, but also made many Tiger Guards who were originally guarding outside the big tent subconsciously nervous. Some Tiger Guards subconsciously clenched their weapons and wanted to stop Sun Ce for the commander-in-chief.

However, as carefully trained Tiger Guards, they are strictly bound by orders.

Without orders from Governor Li Ji or Commander Xu Chu, no rash action is allowed unless there is an attack from foreign enemies.

Therefore, each Tiger Guard almost clenched their weapons and stared at Li Ji or Xu Chu, waiting for the military order to be issued.

However, Li Ji did not really want to kill Sun Ce on the spot. While he just raised his sword and chased after Sun Ce, he naturally did not really order his soldiers to capture Sun Ce.

Otherwise, not to mention Sun Ce, even Lu Bu would not be able to rush out of the camp where countless elite troops were stationed alone.

However, the Tiger Guards did not react, which made Wei Yan, who was getting closer and closer to Sun Ce, subconsciously tense up.

The sudden change left Wei Yan no time to think carefully. As he instinctively took a step towards Sun Ce, all kinds of thoughts kept emerging in his mind.

'Should we stop Sun Ce?'

"This might be a good opportunity to show my goodwill to the Duke of Guoshi. Who knows, I might be able to become his confidant..."

"This opportunity is rare..."

Looking at Wei Yan walking towards him step by step not far away, Sun Ce's expression changed slightly and his heart sank.

No matter how Li Ji beat him, Sun Ce was willing and had no complaints.

But Wei Yan was the one Sun Ce brought back to Chaisang to recommend. Actually, Wei Yan was not yet a general under Liu Bei, but he had some personal relationship with Sun Ce.

If Wei Yan tried to stop Sun Ce at this time, wouldn't he be considered an ungrateful person who sold out his friend for his own future?

The distance between the two sides continued to narrow, and Wei Yan's expression was constantly changing.

Just when Sun Ce was about to approach within five steps, Wei Yan lowered his eyes slightly, sighed, and moved aside to make way.

At the last moment, Wei Yan gave up the opportunity to stop Sun Ce from showing goodwill to Li Ji.

Wei Yan dreams of making progress, but he is not a man without integrity.

Sun Ce not only spared Wei Yan's life but also recommended him. On the way back to Chaisang from Ba County, Wei Yan had many contacts with Sun Ce and was impressed by Sun Ce's generosity.

Of course, Wei Yan could not get over the word "righteousness" in his heart, but he also did not have the courage to risk his life to stop Li Ji. Even when he saw Li Ji approaching, Wei Yan subconsciously lowered his head to avoid Li Ji's sight, for fear that Li Ji would remember him.

However, Wei Yan's facial features were somewhat similar to Guan Yu's, which allowed Li Ji to recognize Wei Yan's identity at the first moment.

Immediately, after taking a deep look at Wei Yan, Li Ji turned around and continued to chase in the direction of Sun Ce.

At that moment, Li Ji almost thought that Wei Yan wanted to stop Sun Ce, in order to avoid being implicated by Sun Ce who seemed to be about to die, and also to serve as a token of his loyalty. 'Wei Yan...'

While Li Ji was thinking, he continued to shout out Sun Ce's crimes and ordered the traitor to stop and die.

At this moment, no matter how ignorant of the ways of the world, Sun Ce gradually connected the causes and consequences and realized that his teacher was putting on a good show for the people of the world.

Sun Ce killed Liu Biao in anger to avenge his father. This was an act of filial piety and there was probably nothing wrong with it.

However, he had to find a way to distance himself from Liu Bei, otherwise it would be very easy to attract all kinds of criticism, which would be very detrimental to his reputation.

After all, Liu Bei was promoting the golden signboard of "supporting the Han Dynasty". Once Liu Bei was involved in killing the governor of the same clan, it would undoubtedly tarnish the golden signboard of "supporting the Han Dynasty".

Therefore, Sun Ce, who had reacted quickly, deliberately rushed towards the crowded area in the camp, and even deliberately slowed down his speed to prevent his teacher from falling behind.

And this chase and escape...

Li Ji's physical fitness is considered good, but it is obviously not comparable to Sun Ce, a powerful general who can be regarded as one of the top human physical warriors.

After chasing Sun Ce around the camp for about two miles, Li Ji felt that he could no longer run.

"Traitor, why are you running so fast?"

Li Ji was panting and really a little irritated from running, and couldn't help cursing inwardly.

Finally, as the noise grew louder, Zhang Fei, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others, who had been notified in advance by Li Ji, also rushed over.

Zhang Fei stood in front of Li Ji like an iron tower and began to plead for mercy.

"Zikun, Zikun, don't be impulsive. Even if Bofu has made some mistakes, it is not a crime punishable by death."

With Zhang Fei's voice, his sound almost spread throughout the entire camp.

Although Zhang Fei tried to stop him, he did not dare to take the initiative to catch Li Ji.

Seeing this, Li Ji simply grabbed Zhang Fei's arm with one hand, and pretended in front of many soldiers that he was being barely pulled by Zhang Fei. He pointed his sword in the direction of Sun Ce and shouted angrily.

"Violating military orders, acting recklessly, and killing the governor without authorization, which of these shouldn't be punished by beheading in public?"

Zhang Fei looked at Li Ji who seemed to be firmly grasped by him. He was a little slow to react, but he still subconsciously pleaded for Sun Ce.

Among the three brothers in Taoyuan, Zhang Fei is the purest one, who only cares about friendship.

Military law and rules are all bullshit to Zhang Fei. They are not as important as friendship.

When Sun Ce was about ten years old, he became Li Ji's disciple and became Zhang Fei's nephew. He also conquered Japan with Zhang Fei, so the relationship between them was very close.

It doesn't matter if Liu Biao was chopped off, but how can it be compared with the lives of his own nephews?

"Mr. Zikun, I can't argue with you. I only know that what you said makes sense, but this is the disciple you have been teaching for nearly ten years."

"Besides, even if Bofu violated military law and made a serious mistake, he did not issue any military warrant. Even if he made a mistake, he should be sent back to Wujun and handed over to my brother for punishment. How can he be killed like this?"

Zhang Fei kept talking, even addressing her the same way he did when they first met in Zhuo County ten years ago. (End of this chapter)
