Chapter 3: Liu Bei's Decision

After the battle at the supply depot, Sun Jian and Liu Bei had a friendly alliance meeting.

"We need to defeat the Wei army," Sun Jian said. "Will you help us?"

After a long thought pause Liu Bei said, "I'll need to consult my consultant. Zhuge Liang, get over here!"

A man in a green bathrobe came to Liu Bei's side. He had a fan made out of feathers in his left hand. He had probably the weirdest type of facial hair a man could ever had.

"Yes my liege," Zhuge Liang said.

"What is your opinion on having an alliance with the Sun clan? I think it would great idea to get rid of the Wei pests," said Liu Bei.

"Um……" Zhuge Liang said. "This is a tough question. I will need to ponder it for a long time in my private study. Yes, this is definitely a tough question."

"Yes we must wait until then. I guess we will have to guard Zhuge Liang's study until he is has decided what to do," Sun Jian said.

The Wu army was encamped in the area outside of Zhuge Liang's house. Zhuge Liang was pondering in his room. Then an arrow struck one of the Wu majors in the heart. He fell quickly to the ground and let out a scream. "It is the Yellow Turbans! They've come back for more!"

The Wu army picked up their swords, spears, sticks, crackams, tonfans, staves, and shield as rushed out of the castle in the direction in which the arrow had come from.

"Ha, you fools, you have taken this the wrong way. It was the Wei army that shot down your generals, not the pathetic Yellow Turbans," Cao Cao yelled.

Cao Cao and his armies rushed into the battle. A stronghold had appeared near Zhuge Liang's house. Sun Jian retreated his armies to help defeat Cao Cao's forces. The overall morale of Cao Cao's forces was rising. Sima Yi's forces had arrived. Then, Zhuge Liang got involved. He summoned forth a lightning storm and stopped the invader's pursuit so that Sun Jian's forces could meet up with the enemies. Sun Jian called forth all his forced to defeat the enemies. The battle had just begun. Liu Bei had not even go involved in the battle.

"If they win this battle, they definitely deserve to be our allies, but I will leave it up to Zhuge Liang. He is the master strategist of this army," Liu Bei said.

The lightning barrier had dissolved into thin air. The battle had just begun. The flanks charged at each other with full force. Many casualties were suffered. The Wu army fought ferociously; as did the Wei army. Then Cao Cao charged into the heat of the battle. Sun Jian jumped into the air and knocked him off his horse. Cao Cao then said, "I have one more trick left in my sleeve, or should I say my horns!"

Cao Cao then transformed into a mutant cow. He left out a huge mooooooooooooooo and charged toward Sun Jian. Sun Jian pulled out his red handkerchief and started to play "torro" with the cow. Cao Cao charged and Jian dodged. Then, Jian cut off one of the rabid cows horns.

"This is not worth it. All units retreat!" Cao Cao said as he transformed back into his normal self. All is units began a retreat into the stronghold. Sun Jian was victorious. Zhuge Liang had come forward and said, "Yes we accept your treaty offer."
