The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 205 Hongmen Banquet

Liu Bei was naturally very familiar with the situation in the northern region under Chen Er's rule. It was precisely because he had a sufficient understanding of the region he governed that Liu Bei concluded that Chen Er, like himself, might also be a time traveler, a chosen one, which led to today's meeting.

The meeting lasted for an hour, but the three still couldn't find a suitable solution. Finally, Sun Quan couldn't help but stand up and say, "Since none of us can find a suitable solution, let's put these issues aside for now and focus on stabilizing the world first."

"What insights does General Sun have about the organization?" Chen Er asked.

Sun Quan said to Liu Bei and Chen Er, "Let the three of us share resources and help each other to deal with other forces first. After stabilizing the world, we can then discuss the future political system."

Sun Quan's suggestion was indeed the most appropriate one at the moment, but Chen Er knew very well that today was definitely not a day when the problem could be solved peacefully. After waiting for so long, Liu Bei's large organization had most likely already crossed the river.

Chen Er quickly stood up and said, "In that case, let's call it a day. We can discuss and handle any future matters together."

“Good,” Sun Quan nodded.

However, Liu Bei, having received a hint from his subordinates, said, "Gentlemen, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if it's feasible?"

Chen Er understood immediately; the main event was about to begin. Sun Quan, however, asked with a puzzled expression, "I wonder what suggestions Lord Liu has?"

"I suggest you two come with me to Ba County for a chat!" Liu Bei said, rising to his feet with a loud laugh.

Upon hearing Liu Bei's words, Sun Quan was greatly surprised and said, "Liu Bei, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean? Well, I would naturally like to invite you two to visit Ba County." Liu Bei said with a loud laugh.

Upon hearing Liu Bei's explanation, the three words "Feast at Hongmen" immediately came to Sun Quan's mind.

Just as Liu Bei raised his right hand, ready to strike, Sun Quan's first instinct was to rush forward and subdue him. However, Chen Er was faster. Before Sun Quan could even react, Chen Er had already rushed forward, grabbed Liu Bei's right hand, and said to him, "Liu Xuande, Lord Liu, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"What?" Liu Bei was a little confused. What was Chen Er waiting for? They hadn't just met.

Seeing Liu Bei captured, Zhang Fei, who was twenty meters away, immediately drew his sword and shouted at Chen Er, "Release my brother!" Chen Er ignored him completely.

Upon hearing Zhang Fei's roar, Liu Bei said to him, "Yide, don't panic. His Highness the King of Wei won't do anything to me. Besides, our organization has already taken control of the surrounding area. I'm sure His Highness the King of Wei is a wise man." Liu Bei then looked at Chen Er.

Chen Er laughed loudly and said to Liu Bei, "Lord Liu, do you think your plan is flawless? Your plan has been under my control for a long time. You must be tired after acting for so long. Why don't you come back to Yuyang with me as a guest? I don't know if you think my Yuyang is too small."

Upon hearing Chen Er's words, Liu Bei did not become disheartened as Chen Er had expected. Instead, he excitedly said to Chen Er, "A person who can conquer several provinces in just a few years is indeed not to be underestimated. But do you think that can change the situation? I have reached an agreement with the King of Nanyang and mobilized 100,000 troops to surround Shiyang. You are already trapped."

"Is a 100,000-strong organization really that powerful?" Chen Er said to Liu Bei, "Look at the place you chose, it has a panoramic view. And look at the soldiers behind me. Do you really think Liu Biao and your rabble can stop my elite dragon cavalry?"

Following Chen Er's gaze, Liu Bei finally understood why Chen Er's forces consisted entirely of cavalry. However, Liu Bei did not believe that just five hundred cavalrymen could break through the blockade of a large organization of tens of thousands.

As if knowing what Liu Bei was thinking, Chen Er said to Liu Bei, "You don't think I only brought this many men, do you?"

Seeing Liu Bei's innocent expression, Chen Er smiled and said to Liu Bei, "To tell you the truth, my five thousand cavalrymen were already prepared fifty miles away."

Chen Er slightly exaggerated his strength by mentioning five thousand cavalry, but it wasn't a huge lie, since many of his cavalrymen were two horses per person, and a single horse could be considered a combat unit.

Upon hearing Chen Er's words, Liu Bei realized that there was no way to keep Chen Er here today. He wondered where Liu Bei got the audacity to think of others when he was still being controlled by Chen Er.

"In my previous life, I was just a ship engineer who could only contribute to my country with my own strength. In this life, although I am Sun Quan, my patriotic heart still exists. So for the sake of the Nine Provinces, I am willing to dedicate my strength. However, King Wei, you must know that as a member of the family, I must consider the Sun family of Jiangdong."

Sun Quan's previous life was an engineer at a shipyard in Dalian. However, he concealed some things from Chen Er and Liu Bei. He was not an ordinary engineer, but an organizational ship designer.

Although the technological limitations of this life severely restricted his abilities, he still managed to build a powerful ironclad fleet for Jiangdong, which is why his influence in Jiangdong grew stronger.

Moreover, this armored fleet has never been exposed to the world. Even Li Zhong's intelligence department did not discover it. If it weren't for this meeting between the chosen ones, Sun Quan might have continued to hide it.

Chen Er was no longer a newbie to this world; he understood Sun Quan's concerns. He said to Sun Quan, "I know your concerns too. Don't worry, I, Chen Er, will be here today..."

This was a miniature flintlock pistol specially made for Chen Er by Ying Qiuyu. The miniature pistol with rifling grooves had an effective killing range of less than thirty meters, which was exactly within Liu Bei's range. Chen Er smiled sinisterly, flipped the flintlock trigger, and pointed the gun at Liu Bei.

Chen Er had no gentlemanly conduct of not shooting an enemy in the back; he had only one goal: to teach Liu Bei a lesson, even if he couldn't kill him.

Hearing Liu Bei's shout, Zhang Fei, who had just fired a signal flare, turned around and saw Chen Er's actions. Just as Chen Er pulled the trigger, he shouted loudly at Liu Bei, "Brother, watch out!"

A gunshot rang out, and a cloud of smoke rose before Chen Er's eyes. He didn't have time to explain much to Sun Quan, and only shouted at him, "General Sun, until we meet again!"
