At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperor was incompetent, eunuchs held power, and the people suffered.
Dong Zhuo, under the order of General He Jin, led his troops from Liangzhou to the capital to suppress the Ten Attendants, but He Jin had already been killed by the Ten Attendants.
After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, no one could restrain him. He monopolized the government, was cruel and inhumane, and caused chaos throughout the land.
Yuan Shao gathered eighteen warlords to suppress Dong Zhuo, and at this moment, the warlords were gathered to discuss their plans.
Some were deep in thought with furrowed brows, some were confident with a smile, and some were completely bewildered.
"What does this mean? What's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be a task? How did I end up in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? And now I'm even Pan Feng?"
Li Pu looked at the large axe by his side and the armor on his body, feeling like crying.
He was an ordinary person from the 21st century. After graduating from high school without getting into college, he entered society. Although he had done all kinds of jobs, he had achieved nothing.
Recently, because a customer found two chicken butts in a plate of shredded chicken, he was fired by his boss as a scapegoat. With nothing, he could only go to a film studio to be an extra.
After experiencing an owl with a letter in its mouth, a ring with the shadow of an old man with a white beard, and a tunnel full of clocks, Li Pu suspected that there was something wrong with his brain.
After wandering on the way to the hospital for a long time, he decided that if he encountered such absurd things again, he would first determine whether it was an illusion.
Then a window popped up asking if he wanted to accept a task, without even explaining what the task was. After much hesitation, Li Pu thought that nothing could be worse than being a corpse, right?
But reality told him that there was something worse: actually becoming a corpse.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have accepted it! I thought it was a turn for the better, but it turned out to be a last gasp."
However, if Li Pu remembered correctly, Pan Feng would be killed by Hua Xiong at the Fenshui Pass, serving as a stepping stone for Guan Yu's reputation.
So, as long as this wasn't the Fenshui Pass, there was still a chance to turn things around. He could only pray that this wasn't the Fenshui Pass, so he could live a little longer.
"Everyone, please look. What stands before us is the Fenshui Pass..." A black, fat man pointed to a map hanging in the hall, speaking confidently.
But the other words spoken by this black, fat man were already forgotten by Li Pu, except for the three words "Fenshui Pass" that kept circling in his mind.
"Is it really the Fenshui Pass?"
"Then this black, fat man must be Cao Cao? The person in front of me is Han Fu, the person next to Cao Cao should be Yuan Shao, and the one sitting on the small stool must be Liu Bei, right?"
"At least I'm not in a hurry. There are at least two more unlucky ones before me who will be killed. Let me check the system's lottery first..."
Just as Li Pu was thinking, a soldier came in and knelt down in the hall.
"Report! General Yu She was killed by Hua Xiong, and Hua Xiong is now cursing outside the city."
The warlords, who were discussing the route of the army, were stunned for a moment, then all lowered their heads.
"Ah, even General Yu She was killed by Hua Xiong? It's a pity that my two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, are not here. If one of them were here, how could Hua Xiong dare to be so arrogant?" Yuan Shao, sitting in the middle of the alliance, looked up at everyone with anger.
"Is there any general who can go and kill Hua Xiong?"
"No, no, no!" Li Pu's heart leaped to his throat. If he remembered correctly, the next one to step forward would be his boss, Han Fu.
Of course, Han Fu wouldn't personally go to kill Hua Xiong. Instead, he would send someone out, who would be killed by Hua Xiong in three rounds.
What a sweet deal!
Li Pu inwardly lamented. He had just arrived in this world for a few minutes and was already being sent to his death.
That was Hua Xiong! According to Cao Cao's ranking, Hua Xiong was the fourth most important figure in Dong Zhuo's group, with martial prowess only below Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si.
As a rookie, how could he possibly go out now without being a sitting duck?
"I have a great general, Pan Feng! He can kill Hua Xiong!"
The person in front of Li Pu stood up and said loudly, his face full of confidence and no trace of fear, as if Hua Xiong would be easily defeated by Pan Feng.
But the person involved didn't see it that way. Li Pu wished he could sew Han Fu's mouth shut.
"Good! Order General Pan to fight Hua Xiong!" Before Li Pu could speak, Yuan Shao immediately gave the order.
It was over. Whether he went or not, he had to go. There was no joking in the army. Now that his boss, Han Fu, had sent him out and the alliance leader, Yuan Shao, had given the order, both his direct superior and his superior's superior had spoken. Even if he didn't go out to fight, he would still be killed.
After all, he was just a general under Han Fu. His death was insignificant.
Li Pu slowly walked out from behind Han Fu, his pale face making people suspect he was seriously ill.
Although Cao Cao looked at Li Pu with a smile, the disdain in his eyes was unmistakable.
The Liu Bei brothers, who were at the end, looked down on Li Pu's hesitation.
Zhang Fei even wanted to take Li Pu's place but was subtly stopped by Liu Bei.
"Bring wine for General Pan!"
A soldier came out with a wine jug and poured wine for Yuan Shao and Li Pu.
Li Pu closed his eyes and drank the bowl of wine. The wine was mixed with sediment, so the taste wasn't good.
After drinking the bowl of wine, Li Pu wanted to smash the bowl to boost his morale, but his hands trembled and he couldn't muster the strength.
The bowl clattered to the ground and stopped at Li Pu's feet after spinning a few times.
"Hmm?" Sun Jian, sitting next to Han Fu, was almost laughing out loud. He had never seen such a cowardly general since he started fighting.
The crowd in the hall was in an uproar.
"This Pan Feng..."
"Lord Han, it seems your general is a bit timid."
"Nonsense! Pan Feng is my unparalleled general! How could he be timid? Pan Feng, quickly go out and kill that Hua Xiong!" Han Fu covered his face with his sleeve and pushed Li Pu out of the hall.
"Yes..."
Li Pu walked out of the hall reluctantly.
"Wait! General Pan! You haven't taken your weapon!"
"Ha ha ha, an unparalleled general! Ha ha ha."
The warlords in the hall finally couldn't hold back their laughter. Even the usually aloof Guan Yu couldn't help but laugh, and Zhang Fei laughed so hard he slapped his thighs.
What to do! What to do! What can save my life now!
Li Pu's mind frantically searched for something that could save him.
Right! The lottery!
Li Pu remembered that he hadn't drawn his lottery yet. Although he had no idea what he would get, he just hoped it would save his life.
Heaven help me! Please give me something good!
It's a matter of life and death!
The lottery interface appeared before Li Pu. As he slowly walked out, he started the lottery.
Hero lottery begins!
Countless hero portraits flashed on the golden stele. Li Pu immediately recognized them as the heroes from League of Legends.
The screen flickered, and the hero that finally appeared before Li Pu was his favorite hero—Darius, the Hand of Noxus!
