The Death of Zhao Yun: Tragedy or Myth Part 2
"Ok, I'll take that as a yes. Two meetings, two meetings ago I wasn't there to join the fun instead I've been monitoring everyone from this room thinking about what I'm going to do and who will back me up. My death has been the most untimely and regrettable and that Ruan Er, I forgive her, but she shouldn't have took the chance of marrying me," Zhao Yun turns to his ex wife.
"Do die like that has to be the most embarrassing, I presume," Cao Pi said sarcastic.
"It'll be more embarrassing if I made her miserable which I didn't," Zhao Yun stares at his rival.
"Heh, you'll never know what the marriage life feels like," Cao Pi said.
"Oh, compliments to you…" Zhao Yun said.
"Is my sword of light piercing shine?" Cao Cao asked.
"Why yes your eminence. It's still…in my hands!" Zhao Yun raised the sword of light.
"Very marvel you can keep it. I have no use of the sword in my possession, since it's heaven's will," Cao Cao smiled.
"Cao Cao…how could you let that thief go after what he done to En!" Xiahou Dun snapped.
" It's over, Dun. He keeps the sword. He won, En lose now get over it," Cao Cao scolded.
"That sword should have been mine…" Xiahou Dun weep.
"Xu Zhu get him out of here, he had enough mourning at En's tomb for months.." Cao Cao ordered.
He did so while Dun is angry and sad at most, he didn't dare to erupt the place in a brawl with Zhao Yun since that will put his own family's reputation in jeopardy. But, soon he turns back at his cousin.
"He don't own us!" Xiahou Dun said.
"From the looks of our current condition, he does owned us," Cao Cao replied back.
"My Lord, Chang Ban was a fluke, we were victorious while that meddling overrated trash was a sore loser because he didn't get to be important in the novel and history," Xu Huang protested.
"And yet, he keeps Liu Bei alive…." Cao Cao muttered.
"He would be dead anyway if we all 5 great generals combine our might," Dian Wei said.
"Even you Dian Wei? You think I'm starting to doubt all my great generals into being equaled with Zhao Yun? The guy made my day and when he died, it felt as if we're making things so unfair after Jie Ting," Cao Cao sighed.
"No way my victories against Shu were all unfair!" Sima Yi urged.
"Speak for yourself traitor…" Jiang Wei said.
"Oh and now a traitor is calling me a traitor!" Sima Yi surprised.
"Who wants a Wei ruled by Simas?" Xiahou Yuan rolleyed.
"I was about to ask the same question, now Zhang He beat me to it," Zhuge Liang finally returned to the conversation.
"I didn't know Sima Yi was going to overthrown me," Cao Pi stares at his treachous companion.
"Well…I….ummm.." Sima Yi tries to find a way to back all this up.
"And my last battle was determinate by the changes going with Wei's future and most new opponents I fought were Pre Jin…" Zhao Yun said.
"Errk…well, I guess this whole conversation has turned into the Anti Jin party," Sima Yi gave nervous smiles.
"Damn, so much happened while I was in Limbo," Zhang Fei grunt.
"Hmph, it was nothing like back in the days I still own," Lu Bu praised.
"Shut up…" Cao Cao shook his head on the times when it was him vs Lu Bu the world talked about.
"You know, since most of you admit my death is technically tragic, however, Lu Bu's is most shameful and Cao Cao's is forgivable. Mengde you were a changed man after Guan Yu died shortly and tried to rebuilt Luo Yang to admit all faults of your selfish desires to exceed full control of the Han court," Zhao Yun said.
"Ha! I told you I'm not evil. Just out of my mind. I make mistakes even executing Lord Dong Cheng and Empress Dong. I should have deal with the edict by explaining my motivations clearly. I have no intention of usurping the Han, I swear!" Cao Cao begged to Liu Bei.
"Then why are you trying to kill me, threaten my nephew, attacking Xu blindly when it was Zhang Kai that killed your father?" Liu Bei asked.
"I should say the same to you. What happen to the Hero of Fate and champion of virtue that once holds the trust of the people? Look, about that alliance with Sun Quan, it wasn't my decision, that fool kept begging because he didn't want Wu to look weaker than Shu," Cao Cao stared at the undisputed best character of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan.
"What! No no! Cao Cao persuaded me into it," Sun Quan lied.
"You're a worst liar than Xuande, brother….how could you do this to me to Gan Ning!" Sun Shang Xinag beginning to want to beat up her backseated brother.
"Awww," everyone sympathized the bow princess.
"Girl, don't you understand! It's the risk of doing politics and I still worry about you sister," Sun Quan said.
"Worry about me like I'm still your doll," Shang Xiang begins beating him up and nobody bothered to break up the fight, not even Jian and Ce as the conversation continued with sounds of the siblings fighting each other.
"Well, since Wu lived the longest, Sun Quan's children and grand children all, but fated to be the tyrannical," Liu Bei relieved. "I can finally rest in peace."
"You see…the kingdom living the longest is NOT the best. But the Ruler that governed the kingdom well is the best character in three kingdoms," Zhao Yun said.
"I scoff you for saying that, I am without a doubt, the best character in three kingdoms," Cao Cao said.
"But, father you loss chi bi," Cao Pi coughed.
"And you loss at Guan Ling," Cao Cao coughed.
"Come to think of it, both Caos are fated to lose in a sea battle, hahahahaha. Now I can rest in peace with my dear Xiao" Zhou Yu said. And Xiao smiled.
"And my big brother is fated to share the same fate as Lord Gongsun Zan, losing a brother must really mean something precious," Zhao Yun said.
"….." Liu Bei looked down upon the table thinking about why he doubted Zhao Yun's political skills before Yi Ling.
"Oh don't give me that crap on that loser again you laughing stock. Gongsun Zan is nothing compare to me at all except White Riders is trash and Ji zhou is MINE, you should have foreseen my powerful elitism of a worthy ruler" Yuan Shao complained.
"Coming from the loser I beat at Guan Du…" Cao Cao grinned.
"Peasant Trash…." Yuan Shao didn't look at his bad friend.
"Ego Maniac…." Cao Cao didn't look at Yuan Shao either.
"And I think both of you are qualified on both," Zhao Yun ended the rantings.
"heheheh," Zhen Ji laughed quietly.
"….." Cao Pi isn't paying attention to his father's and Yuan Shao's babbling.
"I shouldn't have died, nor took the task of stationing at Gu Valley. Why Kong Ming?" Zhao Yun said.
"I..I don't know anymore, this is beyond my thoughts now my best friend," Zhuge Liang admitted.
"People are your own weakness, Zhuge Liang, are you really above all despite the amount of young talent growing these days?" Zhou Yu questioned.
"…., I admit, Zilong is more experienced than I am," Zhuge Liang confessed.
"Hahaaha, I'm loving this…" Sima Yi clapped his hands.
"I used an old man as key offense to my strategy at Chi Bi, didn't you realize that by now, Zhuge Liang?" Zhou Yu said.
"……." Zhuge Liang covered his face with his fan hoping Yue Ying will back him up however, his wife is staring at Zhen Ji and Cao Pi and can't stand how something like that is justified happiness.
"Kong ming, what makes my death tragedy is that….by the time I'm gone, you will realize from the loss at Jie Ting that…strategy alone can't win battles without the strength of an experienced might of a officer like me. Plus, I was at my late 50's and early 60 there. Not too old you can worry about, eh." Zhao Yun grinned.
"I get your point," Zhuge Liang sighed.
"And Zhang He is abit older than Zhao Yun, not to useless anymore, don't you think my eternal rival?" Sima Yi smiled.
"I'm still beautiful in the battlefield while I'm at my 60s," Zhang He triumphed with the picture of Ma Su tearing from his talons.
"And he just stormed at Jie Ting beating not one, not two, not three, but four officers taking Yong zhou back in Wei's hands. The credit all goes to Zhang He, no need for me to deserve the credit except I'm still the guy that beat Zhuge Liang," Sima Yi said.
"Ok, can we end this meeting, now?" Zhuge Liang now wants out.
"Afraid it might turn into a Zhuge Liang bashing conversation?" Zhou Yu amused.
"It didn't look like I'm getting bashed. But everything has been proven that Zhao Yun's death is a tragedy," Zhuge Liang said.
"What if it's a myth?" Sun Quan asked.
"Then Zhao Yun isn't an important character in three kingdoms, that is when his death is a myth," Zhuge Liang answered.
"So, do you all accept my position as Koei's posterboy? It's the only thing giving to me to honor my death," Zhao Yun crosses his arms awaiting the verdict.
"How come nobody is accepting mines?" Lu Bu grumpily hit the table in rage.
"You're a traitor, Lu Bu admit it…geez, you can be broken and still powerful and easy to use and pair up with a beautiful woman like Diao Chan, your own force, your story in Dynasty Tactics, what else did koei give him that Zhao Yun doesn't have?" Zhang Fei continues thinking.
"You know, the Dynasty Warriors franchise is messed up, don't you agree with me," Jiang Wei said.
"I do," Lu Xun said.
"Meh, you don't like me being powerful in every single game poens!" Lu Bu ranted.
"It's getting out I bet, hahaha 'Zhang Fei laughed.
"Lu Bu, you're making your death out as a laughing stock, please, control yourself," Diao Chan worried.
"Diao Chan…"
"At least, we nanmans are getting the most love on Rot3k 11," Zhu Rong said.
"Too bad, that game is ruler only now," Yue Ying added.
"At least, we females get to go in battles unlike the previous installments, but will Rot3k ever be mainstream as DWs?" Da Qiao asked.
"If they like my Rot3k perspective better than my DW self, I'm stronger and far more important there, Da and I'm not as stupid as hyper as they claimed in DW," Sun Ce said.
"Rot3k …Sun Ce…rocks!" Wei Yan said.
"So is my Rot3k self," Meng Huo smiled cheesy.
"Oh wel, when will I be important? That's what makes me so lonely. And so I married an needle maniac..." Zhao Yun thought to himself as the conversationcame to a closeand everyone left the meeting back to their main occupations.
A lonely legacy of the dead….
