Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
Under the astonished yet expectant gazes of his soldiers, Dong Zhuo, dressed in the clothes he had finally managed to put on, stepped out of the tent.
The small clothes clung tightly to Dong Zhuo's body, perfectly showcasing his physique to everyone.
Can you imagine a nearly 300-pound (150 kg) obese person wearing a workout outfit and yoga pants? Hmm... that's it!!
"Hmph!"
Seeing Dong Zhuo's appearance, everyone couldn't help but chuckle, pursing their lips tightly and trying hard not to laugh out loud.
"What kind of looks are those?! Are you trying to make fun of me...!"
As Dong Zhuo stepped out of the tent, he was met with the strange looks from his brothers. He glared at them with a fierce expression, shaking his round belly as he spoke.
"No...it doesn't seem like it...! No...it doesn't exist!"
The lieutenant hurriedly shook his head in denial, but it was easy to see from his flushed face how hard he was trying to hold back.
"Hmph!"
Dong Zhuo lowered his head, glanced at the belly that was now covering his face, and couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Set off!"
Without further delay, Dong Zhuo ordered his men to bring over two of the strongest warhorses in the army. He then carefully mounted the horses and led his men away from there.
Along the way, everyone was amazed by Dong Zhuo's horsemanship, as he rode two horses at a gallop and could switch between them from time to time.
They never imagined that someone so obese could be so agile...!
After a day's march, as evening approached, a small tribe came into view.
"Brothers, follow me and kill them!!"
Seeing the tribe less than ten miles away, Dong Zhuo drew his goose-feather sword from his waist, roared, and charged forward.
"General Dong, wait a moment...!"
Upon seeing this, Jian Shuo, who was standing nearby, hurriedly spoke up to stop Dong Zhuo.
"Hmm? What...?" Dong Zhuo looked at Jian Shuo with a puzzled expression.
"General Dong, this time we're disguised as Juyan people to launch a surprise attack on the Xiongnu...! It's probably not appropriate for you to go..."
Seeing Dong Zhuo's plump and strong appearance, Jian Shuo gave Dong Zhuo a very tactful look from head to toe.
"What's wrong? I'm wearing Juyan clothes too, is there something inappropriate...?"
Jian Shuo's gaze puzzled Dong Zhuo. "I'm clearly an imposter disguised as a Juyan person! Why is it inappropriate?"
Jian Shuo couldn't help but pat his forehead, and then said bluntly, "Who doesn't know that the people of Juyan are barely surviving? How could there be such a fat person?"
“I’m so…!”
Upon hearing Jian Shuo's words, Dong Zhuo was so angry that the fat on his face trembled, and he almost couldn't hold back.
The brothers behind him immediately suppressed their laughter and turned their heads away.
"Therefore, for the success of this plan, you should stay here and wait for our brothers to return victorious..."
Jian Shuo also suppressed a laugh, then turned his head to look at the tribe not far away.
"All right.....!"
After thinking it over, Dong Zhuo also felt that Jian Shuo's words made sense. If he really aroused the suspicion of the Xiongnu and caused the plan to fail, he would really have no way to explain it to the emperor.
"Brothers...! Charge with us!"
Jian Shuo didn't hesitate. He immediately drew his long sword from his waist, spurred his horse on, and charged forward, with the Xiliang cavalry following closely behind, howling.
"Haha....Haha~!"
After running a distance, the soldiers, recalling Dong Zhuo's appearance, finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, having held it in all the way.
What are they laughing at...?
Hearing the bursts of unrestrained laughter that suddenly erupted from the ranks, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but frown.
"No...no good omen...!"
The guard beside Dong Zhuo shook his head, his face flushed, and turned away.
"Really...? Then why don't you dare look me in the eye when you speak...?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo turned his head and glared fiercely at the guards beside him.
"My little one, I miss home...!"
As luck would have it, the guard turned his head in the direction of Liangzhou.
"Sigh~ yeah, it's been almost a year since I came out!"
Dong Zhuo looked towards Xiliang and couldn't help but sigh in despair.
Hearing Dong Zhuo's sigh, even the guards who had been suppressing their laughter showed a hint of homesickness on their faces.
Meanwhile, Jian Shuo led his still-laughing Xiliang cavalry to the vicinity of the tribe.
"Boom! Hahaha! Hahaha!"
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves, mixed with strange laughter, immediately alarmed everyone in the tribe, and the Xiongnu men in the tents rushed out with their weapons.
"He...they?"
The Huns who ran out of the tent looked at the cavalrymen who had rushed close and were still laughing incessantly with fear on their faces. This bizarre scene made many people pause for a moment.
"Kill!! Kill everyone except the young women...!"
Jian Shuo, who was at the forefront, roared and charged into the tribe. He went straight for a Xiongnu man, and with a swift stroke of his knife, the man only had time to scream before falling into a pool of blood.
After killing the Xiongnu man, Jian Shuo roared at the Xiliang soldiers behind him and then charged toward another target.
"kill!!!"
After a loud roar, the Xiliang soldiers charged toward their respective targets.
