Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 23
  The night was deserted and the cold wind howled.

The candlestick swayed from side to side under the cold night, emitting a little light, illuminating the dark night.

After Hulao was closed, Wei Xu and Zhang Liao sat on either side of Lu Bu. The expressions on the faces of the three of them were not good-looking.

Dong Zhuo had led the Xiliang army and left for three days. Calculating the time, he should have arrived in Luoyang, but Lu Bu's order was to hold back the coalition forces of the princes.

The princes' troops were strong and they attacked the city for three consecutive days. Lu Bu's old subordinates brought from Bingzhou had already suffered heavy losses.

This is not over yet. If the princes find out that Dong Zhuo's main force has withdrawn, Hulao Pass will face an even more crazy attack, but Lu Bu can no longer hold on.

After Wei Xu was silent for a long time, he finally couldn't bear it any longer and gritted his teeth: "Fengxian, let's withdraw. Hulao Pass will no longer be able to be defended!"

"Ha," Lu Bu laughed miserably: "Where to retreat? A few days ago, I lost to Zhang Ziqian in front of the battle. The second best general in the world is nothing more than a dispensable burden to the Prime Minister."

"Dong Zhuo has gone too far in bullying others. He has clearly treated us as abandoned sons. How about..."

Wei Xu wanted to say something more, but Lu Bu interrupted him by slamming the table: "Shut up! Go and prepare for the defense of the city tomorrow."

Of course Lu Bu knew that Dong Zhuo regarded him as an abandoned son, and he also knew that Wei Xu wanted to persuade him to defect to other princes, but now he had already suffered the infamy of being a slave of the three surnames. If he really listened to Wei Xu's words, then he would really He became a capricious villain.

It is said that the more people don't care about something, the more they care about it. At this moment, Lu Bu really wanted to maintain his not-so-beautiful reputation.

Zhang Liao, who was sitting on the side, sighed and retreated.

Zhang Liao knew in his heart that there was no need to defend Hulao Pass today.

Now that Dong Zhuo has withdrawn his army, it is only a matter of time before the last barrier protecting Luoyang falls.

This is the tragedy of a surrendered general, especially a surrendered general who cannot be trusted by his lord.

Lu Bu seemed to have been appointed as a general, and his wealth continued to grow, but once Dong Zhuo found out that he had lost his value, he would still abandon him like a worn out shoe. And Li Jue and Guo Si obviously didn't have much ability, just because Dong Zhuo followed him when he raised troops in Xiliang, Don't you still command Dong Zhuo's most elite flying bear army now?

Just as Zhang Liao was about to return to the camp to order troops, a high-pitched trumpet sound suddenly came from the tower. The sound of the trumpet became louder and louder. Zhang Liao was immediately shocked. Three days were enough for the capable men among the princes to see clearly the reality of Hulao Pass.

At this moment, the overnight attack on the city is the best proof.

In front of the city tower, flames shot into the sky, and huge bonfires illuminated the city like daylight. Countless soldiers brandished steel knives and rushed towards Hulao Pass, densely packed like a colony of ants.

By the time Lu Bu put on his armor and appeared at the top of the city carrying Fang Tian's painted halberd, the first batch of attacking soldiers had already climbed up the city using ladders.

Behind the allied forces, Yuan Shao was dressed neatly, astride his horse, and the princes of the eighteen towns lined up behind him.

Everyone's face is filled with the joy of victory.

"Sure enough, Meng De knows things well. How did you find out that Dong Zhuo's army had evacuated?"

Cao Cao cupped his hands on his horse and said, "Lü Bu is a surrendered general. Dong is a traitor who is very jealous. He will definitely not let such a person lead an army alone. In the past three days, there has been no sign of Dong Zhuo in the Hulao Gate, and there is no Xiliang governor. I predict that Lu Bu will be killed." He was abandoned by Thief Dong."

There was another compliment among the princes.

Yuan Shao clapped his hands and laughed repeatedly, praising: "Mengde is so wise. When we capture Hulao Pass, I will reward the meritorious ministers on behalf of the emperor." Zhang Wu behind Cao Cao curled his lips in disdain. The two of them were still at war with each other. After a while, the two of them were as good as wearing a pair of pants.

The hypocritical face of the superiors is really something that can never be learned from.

However, Alliance Leader Yuan's shameless Zhang Wu also really learned a lesson.

Why Yuan Shao was so confident in speaking at this moment, and he dared to say such things as giving rewards on behalf of the emperor, was it not because of the two ugly men following him.

Zhang Wu had already scanned it with the system.

Name: Yan Liang

Force: 96
  Commander: 76
  Resourcefulness: 41
  Politics: 46
  Skill: Murderer: Each time a general is killed during camp selection, the force will be temporarily increased by 1, up to a maximum of 8.

Name: Wen Chou

Force: 97
  Commander: 75
  Resourcefulness: 26
  Politics: 13
  Skills: 1. Haste and Courage: When the enemy uses his weapon in a battle, the force is temporarily +2.

2. Violence: When fighting with generals, if you are stimulated by words, your force will be temporarily +3.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the war is coming to an end and it is time to divide the spoils. It is self-evident what Yuan Shao’s intentions were in recruiting his two favorite generals at this time.

Wen Chou shouted coldly: "Kid, why are you staring at my two brothers?"

Zhang Wu picked his ears out of boredom: "I didn't see anything, I'm just ashamed for your lord. Yuan Shao once said, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are here, why should we be afraid of Lu Bu? You two are just losers, and you are also Lu Bu's opponent?"

One is a top-notch military general, and the other is an unparalleled general, but he is also not very strong. Not to mention that one of these two guys is not afraid of Lu Bu, even if they are tied together, they cannot defeat Lu Bu.

Wen Chou was always a violent person, and he almost jumped off his horse this time. He wanted to kill this bratty brat with a shot.

Yuan Shao was shocked and said: "Wen Chou retreat! Don't be presumptuous!"

Yuan Shao is not really stupid. He has not yet beaten Yan Liang, Wen Chou, or Lu Bu. He is not very sure, but Zhang Wu is as strong as an animal. He is unbeatable.

Except for Zhang Wu, Yuan Shao had never seen anyone who could take a leisurely stroll in the Xiliang cavalry or have fun in the trapped camp.

"Hey! You're a coward who talks the talk but doesn't practice."

"Boy! I want to duel with you!"

"Stop talking, I am the best general in the world. Are you worthy of challenging me?" Zhang Wu pointed at Lu Bu who was locked in Hulao: "Have you seen that guy? Only after you defeat him can you be qualified to challenge me. I."

Wen Chou's steel teeth were almost shattered. At this moment, veins popped out on the top of his head. He swung his big gun and rushed towards the city: "Wait! Wait until I kill the evil thief Lu Bu, and then I will come back and skin you."

Having said this, Yuan Shao could not persuade Wen Chou. Even if he could order Wen Chou to stand by, doing so would only leave a gap between the emperor and his ministers, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

But Wen Chou was really worried about going to Yuan Shao alone, so he had to ask Yan Liang to help him.
