Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 96 Yuan Jun’s Defeat
  While the two were talking.

Report! ~
  The messenger rushed to Cao Cao's carriage, knelt down and clasped his fists: "Prime Minister, General Fenwu Lu Bu wishes to see you."

"Let him in."

The messenger gave the order and ran outside again, conveying Cao Cao's orders as he ran.

After a while, the formation at the front changed. The soldiers separated into two columns and made way for a passage in the middle.

I saw a general, one foot long, running up to Cao Cao astride a flaming red horse. He thrust his halberd, which was two feet long, into the ground. He turned over, dismounted, and knelt down on one knee: "General Fenwu of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu, bow down to my lord."

Cao Cao smiled, jumped off the carriage, pushed Xu Chu and Dian Wei away who were about to stop him, walked up to Lu Bu, and personally helped him up: "Why are you so late, Fengxian? I've been waiting for you in Xuchang for a long time."

Lu Bu was very happy. He and Cao Cao were old acquaintances. They had worked together under Dong Zhuo in Luoyang. He was about to follow Cao Cao's words and get close to him: "Brother Meng De"

Before he finished speaking, he saw two warriors behind Cao Cao glaring at him angrily.

That's all Xu Chu, with a waist that is ten inches taller and an astonishing physique. The two of them had joined forces to kill the enemy before, but now their faces changed, and Lu Bu cursed inwardly for being ruthless.

Even Dian Wei, who was seriously injured three hours ago, had taken off his armor, with a thick white cloth wrapped around his shoulders, and traces of blood could still be seen seeping out. He stood behind Cao Cao, his eyes wide open, and he was approaching Lu Bu. .

Lu Bu was startled, and then he realized that this time was different from the past.

The person standing in front of him was not Cao Aman, the cavalry captain with a low official position back then, but Cao Mengde, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty who was in charge of the two states.

He immediately knelt down again and said, "Lü Bu made a mistake. I still hope that Prime Minister Haihan will do it."

"Hahahaha, no need to be too polite, I want to thank you for rescuing Dian Wei." After speaking, Cao Cao helped Lu Bu up affectionately again.

Lu Bu finally figured it out this time. He was just a new general who had a bad reputation in the past. Cao Cao could be very affectionate to him, but if he climbed up the ladder, he would immediately become a thorn in the eyes of all the generals in Cao's camp. He should still be honest. It is only right to make great achievements and regain the prestige of the past.

He immediately clasped his fists and said, "My lord, Lu Bu wants to make a contribution in front of the formation, but he has no soldiers and cannot find a champion, so he returns to the formation to ask for a fight."

Cao Cao pondered to himself, and then whispered to Xu Chu beside him: "Go, pass my command to command Yuan Rang's three thousand cavalry at Fengxian."

Xu Chu reluctantly agreed, and glared at Lu Bu fiercely when he left.

Who doesn't want to make great achievements? Why can this guy be able to command the cavalry as soon as he comes?

Xu Chu had already made up his mind. When he returned to Xuchang, he asked Zhang Wu for advice on cavalry warfare. Xu Chu also wanted to become a cavalry commander.

When Cao Cao raised an army to attack Dong, he had five thousand cavalry. Each of these cavalrymen were veterans who had fought with him. Although they were not as brave as flying bears, they were still rare elite soldiers.

Only in the future, after occupying the three states of You, Bing, and Liang, and equipping them with good horses, they can immediately become a powerful army in the world like flying bears.

Cao Cao even thought of a name for this cavalry - Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

When the time comes, he holds a flying bear on his left hand and a tiger and leopard on his right hand, and the world will be settled.

Lu Bu is a world-famous cavalry commander, so he just took out this cavalry to polish it.

At this moment, Cao Cao was holding his position and couldn't ask what was going on over there with Lu Bu, but he was sure that Zhang Wu was by his side and that Lu Bu would hardly be a trouble and would only become another capable general under his command, so he simply didn't ask and it was just a chance to show off his skills. mind.

Lu Bu was immediately overjoyed, clasped his fists and bowed again: "Thank you, Lord."

Looking at Lu Bu's wanderings in the first half, a large part of the reason was that he didn't have a boss who could control this sharp blade.

He has always been brave, but under Ding Yuan he was in charge of any task.

He rebelled against Ding Yuan and joined Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo only regarded him as a fighting general, never as a confidant, and he became an outcast at every turn.

When he surrendered to Yuan Shao again, Yuan Shao saw that he was not worthy of him, so he gave him some soldiers and horses and sent him away at will.

Now that he has joined Cao Cao, he can be entrusted with an important task as a newcomer. How could he not be happy? Immediately he led three thousand cavalry, raised his square halberd, and headed towards Yuan Shao's army to kill the general.

When Lu Bu walked away, Cao Cao stopped smiling, turned around and asked Guo Jia, "How do you like watching this Lu Bu?"

"He acts as young as a child, and he can be driven by his lord with kindness and power. He is driven by his temper, and he is brave and aggressive. He can be Ziqian's deputy general. He must not lead an army alone."

Cao Cao nodded secretly. Guo Jiazhi's words were very different from what he had in mind. If it was really a fierce tiger that no one could control, even with his mind, he would not dare to use it, let alone use it.

It is important to know that raising tigers is a disaster, with endless consequences.

"My lord, Yuan Shao's front army is in chaos now. You can order the central army in the forbidden territory to press forward. The sky is getting dark, so we must fight quickly. Cough cough cough cough cough cough."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he coughed repeatedly. At the end, he lay on the frame and coughed up blood.

Cao Cao was horrified and quickly stepped forward to stroke his back.

"It's not a problem, it's not a problem. It's just that I haven't drank for many days since I joined the army. It's because I'm hungry for alcohol, hahaha."

"Stop talking nonsense! Fengxiao just hold on for a while longer. When the fighting here ends, I will send you back to Xudu to rest."

Yuan Shao's army.

"Lord, retreat quickly. The front army has been defeated and the right wing is disabled. If we don't retreat, our army will be defeated."

"We can't retreat. The five fierce generals under the lord's command are all out. As long as we kill Zhang Wu, we can overwhelm the middle army and decide the winner with Cao Ah Man overnight!"

Yuan Shao was so troubled by the quarrel between Xu You and Tian Feng that he simply abandoned them and got off the carriage, riding his horse to the front of the central army.

Before he could take a closer look at the battle ahead, Wen Chou rode back in a hurry.

"My lord, retreat quickly. The front army has collapsed. Zhang Wu's fellow is so brave that it is difficult to defeat him. He injured Zhang Fei and picked Yan Liang. At this time, the Flying Bear Cavalry has already charged towards the Chinese army!"

"What!" Yuan Shao was shocked.

It happened that smoke and dust were rising in the distance, and the area was less than five miles away. Yuan Shao did not dare to hesitate for a moment and quickly rode back to the military formation.

Not long after, the neatly lined up Chinese troops retreated slowly.

But the speed of the infantry's retreat can't compare to the cavalry charge.

After Zhang Wu completely defeated Yuan Jun's right wing, he could already see the shadow of the central army. He was not willing to let Yuan Shao escape.

"Commanders, charge with me!"

After chasing the Chinese army, Yuan's army's formation had not dispersed.

The shield soldiers set up tower shields with spears inserted in the gaps. This is the most reasonable formation against cavalry.

At this moment, Fei Xiong charged with no possibility of stopping. It was inevitable that he would suffer heavy losses if he hit him head on.

Zhang Wu was afraid of hurting his precious cavalry, so he rushed out of the queue first. Chi Ji ran to the front of the formation without losing speed. He raised his front kick and stepped on the iron shield in the gap between the spears. Then he jumped high and flew directly over the shield soldiers. , fell into the rear of the military formation.

Behind the military formation were numerous spearmen.

Looking at the densely packed gun heads, even a brave man like Zhang Wu felt his scalp numb.

At the moment, he didn't dare to make a big move, so he turned around first, waved the Overlord's spear, swept away a row of shield soldiers, and let Xiong's men fly into the formation.
