"Third brother, this is, after all, the territory of Marquis Dingshan, and this council meeting is being presided over by Marquis Dingshan. Don't cause trouble, or it will be our fault," Guan Yu whispered, trying to persuade him.
"Hmph, my brother will sit at that round table sooner or later." Hearing this, Zhang Fei could only say with a helpless but determined tone. He didn't dare to cause any more trouble and obediently sat at the two tables on either side with Liu Bei and Guan Yu. He was still somewhat afraid of Marquis Dingshan.
However, when they arrived at the tables on either side, they sat in the front row, which Liu Bei tacitly agreed to, as he also wanted to take this opportunity to show his face.
After the feudal lords and their subordinates took their seats, they discussed Wang Han's intentions with those they knew. Some closed their eyes to rest and ponder Wang Han's goals. Even those who disliked each other did not resort to violence, but instead mocked one another, revealing each other's vulnerabilities and shortcomings. The others did not intervene, simply watching the spectacle unfold.
After the feudal lords who had arrived in Luoyang had all entered the court and taken their seats, five figures entered from outside. With the arrival of the five, or rather, with the arrival of one of them, the entire court fell silent, somewhat surprised by the arrival of the five. Besides Wang Han and Cao Cao, who knew that they would come, there was also Emperor Xian, Lü Bu, and Zhang Sai, a subordinate of Wang Han.
When Liu Bei saw Lü Bu enter with the Marquis of Dingshan, his heart skipped a beat. He never expected that Lü Bu would not only have survived Cao Cao's attack but would also join Cao Cao in surrendering to the Marquis of Dingshan.
Wang Han and the other four entered the court together. Cao Cao and Zhang Sai casually found empty seats at the round table and sat down, while Lü Bu went to sit on either side. Upon seeing Liu Bei and the other two, he went straight to Liu Bei.
Emperor Xian followed closely behind Wang Han. After Wang Han sat down in the easternmost position, Yuan Shao, seeing Emperor Xian standing behind him, immediately understood and rose to offer his seat to Cao Cao. Emperor Xian thanked Yuan Shao and then sat in the seat Yuan Shao had offered, which was to Wang Han's left.
Wang Han glanced around at the feudal lords seated at the round table, then at the lesser feudal lords on either side of the table, and said under everyone's gaze, "There are more people here today than I expected. I originally thought only half of you would come. But indeed, none of those who were not expected to come are here."
“Since everyone who could come is here, let’s begin,” Wang Han said. “First and foremost, the most important thing is that the war between the feudal lords within our China has been going on for five or six years, and it should stop now. If anyone wants to continue the war, I’ll gladly oblige.”
Upon hearing this, the feudal lords looked at each other, none of them expressing their opinions, but none of them dared to object either.
