Chapter 4

The Battle of
Xia Pi

�General!� Diao Chan ran up and stared up at Lu Bu with
frightened eyes. Quietly she whispered,
�What do we do?�
�You, are
going to leave. I cannot have you here;
you can�t fight your way out if needed.� Lu Bu reached down for her hand.
�I�.don�t want to loose you.�
�Fengxian,
I won�t leave! I will be with you or I
do not want to live.� Chan never felt panic like this before.
�Chan,
honey, we will be together again. You
just can�t be here, right now. Not with
a pending battle. You must leave before
they are too close.�
�But�� Chan
began to cry as she felt his massive calloused hand wrap around hers. They couldn�t be separated, not now�.not now
that she finally had him.
�No buts.
You must be safe.� Lu Bu looked behind him to make sure no one overheard.
�Dear, if this does not go well I will send Ling to escort you to her
grandfather�s home. I�ll need to tell
her it is to keep you safe�.when it will be to keep you both safe. I cannot image what Cao Cao would do to you
two...� the mighty warrior looked away and couldn�t continue. He had to make sure the girls were protected;
he had already put them in too much danger.
�Why does
she get to stay?� Chan whimpered.
�My love,
Ling can fight her way out if need be.�
Chan
nodded. There was no use arguing any
further, once the great general had passed along an order it was to be
followed.

Lu Ling Qi
watched her father and his lover talk amongst themselves, and then Chan hit her
knees crying. Of course her father was
off his horse in a second, comforting her and telling her everything would be
alright. Of course it would be
alright! Three of the best fighters in
the empire were going to be defending the stronghold. There was no way they�d lose; Cao Cao
couldn�t have brought enough men to take down Lu Bu. This would be a day that
went down in history and made Lu Bu famous.
Zhang Liao sighed
as his experienced eyes scanned the fortress.
Men were jumpy, horses exhausted and generals wary. Then he looked over to Lu Bu, who was trying
to help Diao Chan into a carriage. Chan
was hysterical and it was not helping matters any. Lu Bu tried to pry her hands off his arms,
but he wasn�t all that interested in watching her leave. Liao�s eyes suddenly darted to Ling, who was
quickly closing the distance between her and the distraught couple. What the hell was she�oh.
Diao Chan
held her cheek from the surprise attack from Ling. The slap was uncalled for and neither she or
Lu Bu had time to react before Ling shoved her into the carriage.
�Save your
fucking drama! Our morale is bad enough
without you acting like this is the final farewell.� Ling slammed the door to
the carriage.
�Ling�.� Lu
Bu�s deep growl made the horses flicker their ears nervously.
�You know
I�m right.� Ling snapped back.
Lu Bu
grabbed her arm and drug her close enough to make sure only she could hear. �If
you raise your hand to her again I am going to take a switch to your ass, I
don�t care how old you are.�
�Sorry..�
Ling looked away; she still wasn�t able to hold his stare for very long.
�Fengxian�.she
was right. I am not helping. Fight, win
and I will be waiting for you.� Chan waved and ducked into the carriage.
�You are
lucky you are my daughter. If you were
anyone else you would be dead.� Lu Bu shoved her away from him and mounted Red
Hare. �Men, ready yourselves for
battle!�
Ling ground
her teeth together as he rode off and turned to see Liao�s comforting
smile. She made her way over to the
older general. �What?�
�You�re
crazy.� Liao patted her head affectionately.
�Just like your old man.�
�We�re in
deep shit aren�t we?�
�Yeah. Ten brigades.� Liao smirked. �And a hell of a
lot of good generals.�

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

�Lord Cao
Cao!� Dian Wei rode up. �A couple of
officers would like to talk with you.�
�So?� Cao
kept his focus on the stone walls of Xia Pi and the archers on top of the
gates.
�They are
Lu Bu�s officers. Li Jue and Guo Si.�
�Really.�
Cao stroked his goatee. �Well, then I
will grant them an audience.�
�Mmmm.� Wei
galloped back to the sentry point where the two men waited.
�Prime
Minister?� Liu Bei quietly hailed.
�Ah, Liu
Bei? What can I help you with?� Cao
smiled, he like the man. He was a good
fighter and very devoted to the cause.
Cao just wondered how long they could fight side by side. Liu Bei wanted to restore the Han, but the
Han was dead. The only thing that could
rise out of the chaos was a new empire�.perhaps one governed by the man who had
run the country for so long as prime minister.
�My
brothers and I were wondering where you would like us positioned.�
�I believe
on the southern gate. That is where your men are coming from is it not?�
�Yes, but
we will move to accommodate your battle plans if needed.� Bei answered, he was
honored to be asked to help in this venture.
Lu Bu needed to be reined in, he was a maniac on the warpath.
�No your men have had a hard march
to get here so quickly.� Cao slid off
his horse and stroked the animal�s neck.
�I have not thanked you enough for your participation in this battle.�
�We are
honored to help.�
�Ah�perhaps
you would like to stay here while I greet these two defectors, I am interested
in your take on the matter.�
�Defectors?�
Liu Bei asked and looked at the men Dian Wei escorted up the hill.
�Figures. That is what you get for being
an uncaring leader. You cannot ask a man
to die for you if he knows you do not care about his life.�
�True.� Cao
smiled at both Guo Si and Li Jue bowed before him. �Speak.�
�My lord,
we would like to assist you in brining down the traitor Lu Bu.� Si stared at
the two men; hopefully they would not be executed for this.
Jue added,
�Lu Bu murdered our lord, Dong Zhuo, and commands this stolen army like a
heartless brigand. We cannot serve such
a man.�
�Tell me,
what generals does he have?� Cao asked.
�Well us,
Cao Xing, Chen Gong, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Lu Ling Qi.� Jue answered.
�Lu Ling Qi?� Cao looked away
remembering the name from what seemed like ages ago. He had so often visited Luo Yang, to meet
with the emperor, and quite a few times he had to deal with Lu Bu. Dong Zhuo always made sure his �son� was
visible. But there was that little girl
that always was at her father�s side at formal events�� His daughter? He asks his daughter to fight?�
�My lord,
she has grown up since you last were in the capital.� Si replied.
�What of
Diao Chan?� Bei asked. �Has he sent her away to safety?�
�Yes,
actually. This morning. He sent her via carriage to the west.�
�My lord, I
suggest we send a rider to capture her�she may be of use in negotiations.� Bei
looked to Cao who nodded.
�I
agree. Dian Wei, please see to that in
person.�
�Yes sir.�
Wei grinned from ear to ear and walked away.
�Then what
are you two suggesting that your part in this be?� Cao asked.
�We will
open the south gate so that you may swarm into the castle and attack. Lu Bu has accepted Chen Gong�s strategy
already. He will keep all the gates
closed and charge out from the north gate to attack your headquarters. Zhang Liao will be at the western gate, Cao
Xing at the east. Ling Qi will accompany
her father, as always, and Chen Gong will defend the northern gate. If we open the south gate, then your men may
attack the castle from within. You can
easily take Zhang Liao by surprise and Cao Xing will not be difficult to
subdue. Then Si and I will call Lu Bu
back into the castle, and you can ambush him.� Li Jue answered.
�How can
you be so certain he will come back?�
�If the
battle goes sour, he will send his daughter away. We just need to tell him she returned against
orders and is pinned down inside the castle by an ambush party.� Si answered.
�This is
very well thought out.� Bei complimented.
�You really hate him a lot�don�t you?�
�His is a
horrible ruler. We cannot allow his
military might to win him a seat of power.� Jue answered.
�Very
well.� Cao nodded. �You may go ahead
with your plan. Meet up with Liu Bei
after you open the southern gate and coordinate your ambush with him.�
�It is sad
that a man so skilled can be so very bad with people.� Liu Bei frowned �Ambition
ruins so man good men.�

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ling
galloped up to the bridge next to her father and swung her sword to decapitate
the first man that challenged them. She
guided Firestorm off to the left around the castle wall as Lu Bu broke to the
right and the bridge. She smiled to
herself as she heard the familiar voice holler, �Who else seeks death?� Once she rounded the corner her horse
collided with a dozen archers who folded underneath his steel clad hooves and
she looked for her next victim. So many
blue soldiers�.but where were the generals?

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Xiahou Dun
looked over at his younger brother and sighed. �This is going to take all
damned day.�
�Where are
those defectors anyway? I thought they�d
let Liu Bei in by now.� Yuan looked over at the green uniforms of Liu Bei�s
small army across the field. They hadn�t
budged.
�Hey, the
gate�s opening.� Dun smiled and pointed at the Eastern gate �Looks like we get to
fight after all.�
�Well,
brother, what do you say? Shall we
charge them?�
�Lets.� Dun
laughed as his eager brother spurred his horse towards the gate. He was about to dig his heels into his mount�s
flanks but as he turned his head he saw a speck of something coming at his
head. Before he could realize what it
was he was flying off the back of his horse and into a crowd of his men. After the impact of hitting the ground wore
off he felt a tremendous pain in his left eye.
What the hell�.
�Sir�.� Xiahou
Mao, Dun�s adopted son, rushed to his father�s side. �Dear god�.someone get a doctor!�
Dun tried
to blink, but only got a jolt of pain rushing over him because of it. Slowly he allowed his right eye to focus on
the wooden shaft and brilliantly colored fletchings. With a grit of his teeth he grasped the arrow
and pulled. �ARRRRRRGGGGGG!�
�Father!�
Mao watched in horror as the arrow and eyeball detached themselves from Dun�s
head. Blood immediately began to pour
out of the empty socket and he let his gaze fall upon the small round object on
the projectile. He couldn�t pry his eyes
off the globe, especially when it started to move towards Dun�s mouth.
�Essence of
my parents�.. I can�t discard it.� Dun sunk his teeth into his former eye and
realized immediately how difficult it was to grab a hold of a slippery filmy
eyeball. Frustrated enough and in
terrible pain he only bit down harder and the lens shot out of the eye and hit
the roof of his mouth. With a vicious
tug he ripped the remaining portion off the broad head and squished the nasty
runny Vitreous Humor into his mouth. The
disgusting gel sat on his tongue momentarily, and almost triggered his gag reflex;
however Dun quickly swallowed the remains of his left eye. He heard the gasps and stunned silence around
him, then with blood running down the left side of his face he stood and drew
his scimitar. With a spine-tingling
scream he ran at the man responsible for his loss.
Cao Xing
was still holding his bow in his hand when charged him. He could not believe it despite being a seasoned
warrior. How could that man get up after
loosing an eye and attack him? Did he
just eat his eyeball? Before he could do
anything a scimitar smashed his skull open and his body hit the ground with a
thud.
Brain matter splattered across
Dun�s already bloody tunic and the fierce warrior looked down at the man. Blood from his own wound began to drip on the
dead general�s corpse. �Asshole.�
�Uh, father?� Mao offered a
tattered handkerchief.
�Thanks.� He wrapped it around his
head and then turned to his men. �What
the fuck are you all looking at? FIGHT!�

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Zhang Liao galloped towards the
river and the steps that led to the other side of the fortress. The southern gate had fallen and the enemy forces
had quickly swamped his position, soon after that western gate fell. He hoped he could get across the river to
alert Chen Gong and get ready for a retreat.
He jolted forward in the saddle as his horse shied away from the stairs. The river was�.running high. Someone must have opened the floodgates. He turned around, there was no way he could
ford the river with it running so high, he and his steed would be swept away
and be smashed into the grate at the southern end of the castle. He looked up and raised his spear, �I Zhang
Liao, shall be your opponent!�
�Why throw away your life so
quickly?� Guan Yu asked.
�You are surrounded!� Zhang Fei
pointed his spear at him.
�Do not be foolish! I myself will vouch for you to Lord Cao
Cao. Do not die for such a unworthy cause! � Guan Yu said.
�Guan Yu is right.� Xu Huang rode
up, axe in hand. �An officer of your
quality deserves a second chance.
Please, surrender and we will ask Cao Cao to spare you.�
�Lu Fengxian is my closest
friend�.I cannot forsake him.�
�Your generals Guo Si and Li Jue
have already betrayed him. The battle is
over.� Guan Yu said solemnly.
�You underestimate the strength of
the Lu family.� Liao glanced across the river to see Chen Gong with his back
against the wall and Guo Si holding a sword to his throat.

Ling looked at the hordes of enemy
soldiers circling them. She was
currently pressed up against her father�s back, sword raised in preparation for
a musou. All of their bodyguards and
men were dead, but Li Jue was coming with reinforcements from the north
gate. Ling took a deep breath and waited
for her father�s words, a signal to begin the musou. �Daddy?�
�Ling�I want you to go, now.�
�Right.�
�Ling Qi, I am giving you an
order.� Lu Bu felt his palms begin to sweat as he gripped the Lunar Spear. The battle was lost�.if he could only get her
out of here he would continue to fight.
Hopefully he could get back to his men, and then they would retreat
through the southern gate. He had to
know she was safe first�..he just had to.
Now he was regretting everything.
It was his fault she was like this�he only realized too late that she
modeled herself after her hero�him. Sure
he had given her everything and made sure she wasn�t exposed to the evils of
the world, but all of that protection left her completely unprepared for a life
away from him. A mistake he intended to
correct once they got out of this mess.
�And I�m being insubordinate.�
�I�m asking you then, as your
father, please go. You must protect
Chan.� Respect for authority is going to
be the number one issue on my agenda.
Ling shook her head. �You can�t
actually think I�m going to believe that?�
�LING QI!� He
growled. �You will leave, now. I am sick
of this shit from you. I need you to
protect Diao Chan while I reform the men and retreat. Do you understand?�
�Yes sir.�
She mumbled.
�Just keep
her safe, okay?�
�Yes.�
�And you
too. I�� Lu Bu cleared his throat. �I�m
proud of you daughter. You fought well
today. We just need to regroup and fight another day.�
�They are
too strong; you�ll never break through their lines.�
�I
will. I just can�t do it if I�m worried
about you.�
Ling sliced
a man�s arm off. �You need me here then.�
�No, you
must go. I cannot fight as well if your
safety is on the back of my mind. Leave,
I will be along soon. Take Chan to your
grandfather�s house and wait for me. Be
safe.�
Before Ling
could reply he screamed �You WORTHLESS SCUM� and she musoued with him. After the double attack was completed he ran
over to Li Jue and they began fighting for the defense of the northern
gate. She whistled and Firestorm ran
over, trampling more enemy men as he came.
Without looking she put her foot in the stirrup and swung onto his
back. Storm reared and struck out at a
few pike men that ran up as his master watched her father attack the men around
him. She got one last angry look from
him and then turned to the west. He was
so easily distracted by his women, maybe she did need to leave and protect
Chan. He worried so much for her�it
would be one less thing on his mind.
Besides, who was going to be able to get past the mighty Lu Bu?
