Liu Wei remained noncommittal. "Li Su, do you want to be like the Flying General, driving out the Xiongnu and achieving great deeds?"

"My lord, I...I can't do it!" Li Su waved his hands repeatedly.

"How can a man say he can't do it?" Liu Wei immediately straightened his face. "There's one thing right now that I absolutely need you to do!"

"May I ask what brings you here, Your Excellency?" Li Su was immediately flattered.

He knew that he was just a fishmonger, despite having the aura of being a descendant of the Flying General Li Guang.

But that was hundreds of years ago.

"We need to survey the area around Daihai Lake! We're not familiar with the route, so we'll need you to guide us!"

Liu Wei stared at Li Su and said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Li Su replied without hesitation, "This humble commoner is willing to go. May I ask when Your Excellency will depart?"

"Now!"

......

Right now!

Located in the southern part of Dingxiang Prefecture, on the main river valley road leading from Luo County towards Yanmen.

Dust billowed, and hooves thundered!

A dozen or so knights dressed as Han border soldiers were galloping along.

These dozen or so cavalrymen were all covered in dust and blood, their armor in disarray.

At that moment, a fork in the road appeared ahead.

"Wen Yuan, do you know which road leads to Yanmen?"

A handsome, tall young general, holding a halberd, asked a man beside him.

"Fengxian, the one on the left leads to Shanwu, and the one on the right leads to Yanmen!"

"Let's go to the right!" Lü Bu decisively chose the right path.

"Fengxian, it's correct that we're going to Yanmen, but the journey from here to Yanmen is twice as long as the journey to Shanwu!"

"I'm worried that by the time we go to Yanmen to bring back reinforcements, I don't know if Lord Ding will be able to hold out until we return."

Zhang Liao said with a grave expression, "Why don't we go to Shanwu and find that prince?"

It turned out that, under Ding Yuan's leadership, they were escorting salt, iron, and armor to Luo County to hand over to the Xiongnu people.

To their surprise, the two burly envoys were not among them.

Ding Yuan refused to hand over the goods and led his troops out of the Xiongnu encirclement, heading straight for Yanmen.

We arrived at an abandoned city halfway through our journey and just took a rest.

But they were caught up by the Xiongnu and surrounded.

Ding Yuan, leading his troops and supplies of salt and iron, did not want to fall into the hands of the Xiongnu.

He then sent Lü Bu and Zhang Liao to break through the encirclement and fetch reinforcements, while he and Zhang Yang held the ruined city.

"As for Shanwu, it's just a rumor. Even if there really is such a prince, and he has tens of thousands of soldiers!"

Whether he will come to our rescue is still unknown! Lord Ding treats us like brothers, and I cannot entrust his fate to a mere rumor!

Lu Bu's face darkened.

"Fengxian, how about this: you go to Yanmen, and I'll go to Shanwu!"

"Whether the good side is real or fake, it is still a hope!"

Zhang Liao's eyes hardened.
