"Cough cough..."

When the smoke and dust cleared, all four of them were covered in blood and looked extremely disheveled.

"Not bad, not bad. You survived one of my ultimate techniques, you can be proud of yourselves."

Zhao Hao smiled faintly, showing no signs of fatigue.

It was as if using such a move was a technique that could be used casually.

Buzz!

Zhao Hao drew a ditch in front of the four people.

"Liu Xuande, considering your merits in quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion and besieging the border, Fengxian and I will spare your lives today. However, you keep saying you are going to the capital to eliminate treacherous officials. If Dong Zhuo is truly the treacherous official you claim to be, have you considered that your actions could kill the Emperor?"

Liu Bei was taken aback, then lowered his head in silence and began to carefully consider Zhao Hao's words.

"Hmph, you don't even know how to consider the big picture. If you're like those fame-seeking, ambitious types, I won't hold back next time we meet!"

"Hmph, you, Marquis of Jinyang, are nothing but a fame-seeker!"

"Third brother, you mustn't speak recklessly!"

Liu Bei and Guan Yu were truly speechless. Now that they were at the mercy of others, if Guan Yu continued to provoke them like this, wouldn't they be courting death?

Moreover, Zhao Hao's words seemed to imply something more. Although Guan Yu and Liu Bei were not exceptionally intelligent, Zhao Hao's prompting made them realize that there were clues about the allied forces.

"Hehe, Zhang Yide from Yan, is that right? I've heard from others that the reason you call yourself a Yan person is because you and Zhang Rang, the head of the Ten Attendants, are from the same clan and origin. You're not a Yan person, but a eunuch, right? Hahahaha!"

"Aaaaaah! I'm going to kill you!"

No one could stop Zhang Fei's uprising, not even his eldest and second brothers.

But outsiders won't hold back against you!

"Get down!"

Zhao Hao swept his leg, knocking Zhang Fei to the ground.

"What, you know now that it's not pleasant to be falsely accused?"

Today, I, Zhao Hao, will teach you that when you speak and act, you need to be logical and have evidence.

Otherwise, how you treat others will determine how they treat you!

You can continue to call the Fengxian brothers traitors, or you can call me Zhao Hao a fame-seeker.

But if you choose to continue down this path, I, Zhao Hao, will let the world know.

You, Zhang Fei, are sisters with Zhang Rang!

"Me! Ugh...!"

Zhang Fei wanted to argue, but Liu Bei and Guan Yu rushed up and quickly covered his mouth.

If this continues, the three brothers will really perish here, and they'll even drag Zilong down with them...

“Lord Jinyang, my third brother speaks recklessly. It is my fault as his elder brother for failing to discipline him properly. I beg you to punish me!”

Seeing Liu Bei's posture of apologizing, Zhao Hao simply waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't try that on me. You're a defeated army. Apologize? If you wanted to punish someone, you would have done so long ago."

Everything that needed to be said has been said. Go back and tell Yuan Shao to retreat to his hometown in Bohai and cower there.

"If you don't leave within three days, I, Zhao Hao, will mobilize the entire army and annihilate you treacherous rebels who have forged imperial edicts. Do you understand?"
