Chapter 858: A Gracious Farewell to General Li. [858]
Summary
That night, amidst howling winds and falling snow, the Han army remained vigilant after a previous surprise attack by Zhang Liao. Li Dian, resigned to death, led three thousand warriors into battle, determined to confront the Han forces. Despite the fierce charge, they faced Zhuge's repeating crossbows, suffering heavy losses. Wei Yan and Ma Su held the defense, but Liu Mang had ordered a slight resistance to allow Li Dian to enter. After losing five hundred men, Li Dian approached Liu Mang, expressing his wish to die honorably rather than join him, due to past grievances with Lü Bu. He requested mercy for the Wei people and a chance for their lineage to survive. Ultimately, Zhang Fei executed Li Dian, who died content, having preserved the retreat of his comrades and ensuring a future for his friend. His sacrifice was honored with a promise of a grand burial and respect for his family.Full content
