Chapter 4: I have the general Pan Feng

The lottery begins. As this task primarily involves battles between generals, the lottery summons the generals from the historical narratives! After the system introduces the lever of the slot machine, numerous portraits of generals flash by rapidly... There is Xue Rengui, dressed in a white robe and wielding a painted halberd, there is Yue Yun, swinging a silver hammer, and there is Yuwen Chengdu, firmly grasping a golden-winged halberd...

Everyone was greatly astonished. At this moment, Li You heard Pan Feng behind him stir, seemingly wanting to challenge Hua Xiong to a duel. "Hey, I am unfamiliar with this place and only know you. Please don't go out there and get yourself killed!" Just as he was feeling anxious, Li You suddenly sensed the tiger talisman in his sleeve heating up in waves, as if something unusual was about to occur

You must give me something more powerful! Do not let it be that we cannot defeat Hua Xiong! Li You silently prayed; at this moment, there had been no movement in the main tent since Yu She was killed by Hua Xiong.

Looking at myself again, draped in a brocade robe, wearing a golden helmet, with a long sword at my waist, I touch my chin, feeling the three strands of long beard beneath my jaw. I am neither the image of a frail corporate white-collar worker nor the handsome young lord of a noble estate.

Li You caught sight of Guan Yu behind Liu Bei, who had already shown a look of surprise. Gritting his teeth, he silently shouted "Stop!" The slot machine ceased its spinning, and a general was drawn out. The system's voice then echoed, "The summoned general has arrived outside the tent and is ready for battle at any time"

Hey, wait a moment, let me figure out how to use this thing first!" Li You suddenly shouted anxiously, "Can't you give me some time to recall 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' properly?

Oh? But what about Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, who broke the Yellow Turbans after the Prince of Jing of Zhongshan?" Li You interjected, while Cao Cao beside him flicked his sleeves in annoyance

Yuan Shao furrowed his brow and scanned the people in the tent, "Who dares to go into battle?"

After entering the main tent and finding an empty seat to sit down, Li You realized that he seemed to be the second to last lord to arrive; just as he settled in, a handsome lord arrived with three others and took the last available seat. The three individuals stood behind him, and their extraordinary appearances immediately attracted the attention of many lords.

Oh? Which person does Wen Jie intend to send into battle?" Yuan Shao glanced at Pan Feng, who stood behind Li You. Hmm, this general appears quite formidable; perhaps he really can slay Hua Xiong

At this moment, the scout reported, "Hua Xiong has led the iron cavalry down the pass, using a long pole to taunt Governor Sun with a red scarf, and has come to the camp to loudly insult and challenge us."

Just as he remembered being drenched in sweat, the system's voice sounded again, "The host is receiving a task for the first time, and is now granted a lottery draw. Would you like to start the lottery?"

"Who is behind Governor Gongsun?" Yuan Shao inquired from above the main tent

I am fine, and take me with you! We must not keep General Benchu waiting! Since the situation cannot be changed, let us go and see what is happening now! Li You said

Li You slowly opened his eyes, and before him stood a man who was eight feet tall, with a broad waist and muscular arms. He wore a helmet and armor, wielding a large axe, looking quite formidable.

"Open! Open immediately!" Li You seemed like a drowning person grasping at a straw, urgently shouting in his heart; as soon as his voice fell, the panel in front of him suddenly transformed into the appearance of a slot machine

At this moment, Yuan Shao was preoccupied with Sun Jian's defeat and had no time to ponder these matters. Without much thought, he nodded in agreement. Thus, under Li You's suggestion, Liu Bei also mixed in at the end and took a seat. After sitting down, he cast a grateful glance at Li You, which softened the expressions of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind him as well.

Yuan Shao was greatly pleased and ordered Yu She to take the field. However, it was not long before a scout returned to report, "Yu She fought with Hua Xiong for less than three exchanges and was slain by Hua Xiong"

The task has commenced. The host must slay Hua Xiong before Guan Yu and lead the troops to capture Si Shui Pass. Upon completion of the task, a lottery draw will be rewarded; failure will result in annihilation. The system's emotionless voice echoed, causing Li You to break into a cold sweat, frequently glancing at Guan Yu behind Liu Bei, fearing that he might leap out at any moment

As soon as it began, that voice ignored him completely and unhesitatingly issued the command to enter. A flash of white light illuminated the surroundings, and Li You fainted once again

Upon seeing this, Yuan Shao, feeling momentarily frustrated, uttered his classic line, "It is a pity that my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou have not yet arrived! If one of them were here, what fear would we have of Hua Xiong!"

After receiving a positive response, Li You cupped his hands and said to the alliance leader Yuan Shao, "Alliance leader, since Lord Xuande is a noble descendant of the Han dynasty, he should naturally sit alongside us!"

"My lord, Sun Wentai has just been defeated by Hua Xiong, and Yuan Benchu is currently gathering various forces in the main tent for a discussion! My lord, please follow me to join them!" A rough voice startled Li You from his daze.

Ah? Is he the legendary unmatched general Pan Feng? Since he calls me 'my lord', am I not now the Governor of Jizhou, Han Fu? Li You suddenly pinched his thigh; a sharp pain made him realize that he was not dreaming, and the news he received earlier in the White Tiger Hall was all true

Yuan Shu turned around and sent out the valiant general Yu She, who said, "The young general is willing to go."

You... you are!" Li Youyi was still unable to adapt, feeling dazed as she asked.

Li You did not have time to see who the drawn general was, when he saw that Guan Yu was already preparing to speak. He hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "My lord, please do not be angry. There is no need to use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. A mere Hua Xiong does not require the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou to take the field! Allow me to first send one of my subordinate generals to engage him in battle."

This Pan Feng is indeed a loyal minister! Li You had just taken in his expression, sighing that it would be a great pity if he were to die at the hands of Hua Xiong! Just as he was about to rise, he noticed a tiger talisman placed on the table in front of him, which was the very one that had brought him to the White Tiger Hall. Li You discreetly tucked the talisman into his sleeve and followed Pan Feng out of the main tent

However, it seems that neither my generals, Pan Feng nor Ju Yi, are a match for Hua Xiong. Am I to fail my first mission?

Li You secretly reached into his sleeve to grasp the tiger talisman, and suddenly a panel lit up before him. He was taken aback, but upon noticing that Yuan Shao, Pan Feng, and others in the tent showed no signs of reaction, he realized that the panel was likely visible only to him

My lord, have you overexerted yourself and harmed your spirit? I am Pan Feng!" The general, who was holding a large axe, quickly dropped the axe and came over to support Li You, asking with concern.

I have a general..." Li You replied while looking at the panel. When he clearly saw which military general had been drawn, he almost spat it out! How could it be him? This is too much of a coincidence, right? However, if it is him, then there might still be a chance of defeating Hua Xiong.

Gongsun Zan called out to the tall man with long arms and knees, saying, "This is my childhood brother who shared the same quarters, Liu Bei, the Prefect of Pingyuan."

"Yes, my lord, please follow me this way!" Pan Feng, seeing that his lord was unharmed, felt a bit of the anxiety on his face dissipate. He bent down to pick up the large axe and led the way forward.
