“Yes!” Zhang Liao, following the orders, was about to execute Xiahou De. However, he was stopped by Liu Mang.
“Xiahou De? Xiahou De!” Liu Mang remembered. In the Romance of Three Kingdoms, there really was a person named Xiahou De. He appeared chapter 70 of the novel. Elder brother of Xiahou Shang. He dismissed Huang Zhong for seeking battle. Slain by Yan Yan at Tiandang mountain.
Although Liu Mang doesn’t know much about Xiahou De, he knew who Xiahou Shang was. He’s Xiahou Yuan’s nephew. Being Xiahou Shang’s brother, he should also be Xiahou Yuan’s nephew. And now amongst the troops sieging the city was Xiahou Yuan. Perhaps something could come of this.
“What we need to do right now is to break out of the city. However, the surrounding Cao troops numbered tens of thousands. It is utterly impossible for us to break out with force! Thus, we could only use this trump card in front of us!” In the issue of breaking out of the city, Liu Mang was very concerned. After all, it was a matter of life and death to him.
“General Zhang Liao, is this Xiahou De’s army banner here?” Liu Mang asked Zhang Liao.
“Yes!” Due to Xiahou De being demounted, his banner was dropped by his troops. Luckily, the banner was not damaged in the strife.
“Brother Liu Mang plans to…” Zhang Liao seemed to have thought of something.
“Correct, I am going to do this…” Liu Mang said laughing. “Boss Lu, may I borrow your troops again?”
“Brother Liu Mang needn’t ask. Go ahead.” Lu Bu was neither a good person nor a bad person. He was just a genuine vile person. Whoever was good to him, he too will be good to that person.
