Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 88 Lu Bu: Can I become a general?
"Bullying the minority with more is nothing!"

"Come on, come on! Ji Ling, little boy, I failed to kill you last time, come and fight me for three hundred rounds today!"

Zhang Fei had a clear goal and went straight towards Ji Ling.

The last time Ji Ling led a large army to besiege Pei County, the three brothers almost died there.

Zhang Fei always remembered this grudge.

I finally found the opportunity to report it today!

"Ring-eyed thief, prepare to die!"

When the enemies met, they were extremely jealous of each other. Ji Ling had wanted to kill Zhang Fei for a long time, so without saying a word, he went forward and fought with Zhang Fei.

"I'm going to capture Yuan Shu!"

Lu Bu seized the opportunity to withdraw from the battle and chase Yuan Shu's chariot again.

"Lu Bu, don't leave!"

Qiao Rui and Li Feng were shocked when they saw this and wanted to step forward to stop them, but a Green Dragon Crescent Blade with a flashing cold light blocked their way.

Guan Yu stood on his horse with his sword drawn, glancing at the two men with his phoenix eyes.

"Guan is here, how dare you act rashly!"

……

Now all the generals under Yuan Shu were held back by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. In the chaotic battlefield, Lu Bu was like a god descending from heaven. No one could resist him for a moment!
It is true that whoever blocks it will die.

Every time the Fang Tian Hua Ji is swung, it can take the lives of a large number of soldiers.

"Fake Emperor, don't leave!"

After shooting through the personal soldiers who were covering Yuan Shu's escape, Lu Bu squeezed the belly of the Red Hare under his crotch, and the Red Hare suddenly sped up and was about to catch up with Yuan Shu's carriage soon.

Yuan Shu was so frightened that he abandoned his carriage, snatched a cavalryman's horse and fled.

He no longer cares about the dignity of the Emperor Dacheng.

As he ran, he shouted, "Stop Lu Bu and you'll be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins!"

The soldiers who were accompanying them stepped forward to stop them.

But how could they be a match for Lu Bu?
They were killed one after another just by meeting each other.

"Yuan Shu, you little bastard, die!"

Finally, Lu Bu caught up with Yuan Shu, and with his Fang Tian Hua Ji he aimed directly at his head, intending to behead him on the spot!

"clang--!"

Just when Yuan Shu was about to die in panic, a silver light came whistling and blocked between Lu Bu's Fang Tian Huaji and Yuan Shu's neck.

This is a silver-white spear, which is now inserted diagonally into the ground, and the gun body is still shaking.

The force was so strong that Lu Bu even felt his arm go numb.

Looking in the direction where the spear came from, he saw a familiar figure and couldn't help but look surprised.

"Zhang Xiu! Why is it you?!"

The person who came was none other than Zhang Xiu!

Zhang Xiu rode his horse to Yuan Shu, took the silver spear stuck in the ground in his hand again, and looked at Lu Bu with an extremely sharp gaze.

"You can't kill him today!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu looked disdainful.

Although Zhang Xiu was known as the spear king of the north, in his eyes, they were still just chickens and dogs.

He sneered and scolded, "Zhang Xiu, my boy, the emperor once appointed your uncle Zhang Ji as General of Cavalry and Marquis of Pingyang. You two uncles and nephews have no regard for the emperor's grace and are so bold as to hijack the emperor's carriage. How can such traitors live in this world? If I were you, I would cut off my own head and present it to the emperor as an apology."

Zhang Xiu was furious when he heard this: "You are a slave of three surnames, and you are not worthy of scolding me!"

"You are so ignorant of life and death. I will chop off your head today and present it to the emperor." Lu Bu shook the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and the creepy murderous intent enveloped Zhang Xiu and Yuan Shu.

Just as he was about to kill Zhang Xiu, he suddenly heard the ground shaking. Not far away, another army was rushing towards this place, with a flag with the word "Zhang" in black on a white background.

It was the army that Zhang Xiu took away from Wancheng!
Zhang Xiu led Yuan Shu and Lü Bula to a distance and retreated to the front of the oncoming army. He said, "I have eight hundred cavalrymen here. How can you kill me?"

According to Lu Bu's character, he would not be afraid at all even when facing eight hundred cavalrymen.

But before going on the expedition, Chen Gong gave repeated instructions.

He was the main force in the campaign against Yuan Shu. If he was surrounded by the cavalry and made any mistake, all the fruits of his hard-earned conquest would be swallowed up by Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

When Lu Bu thought that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were birds of a feather, his face turned pale.

If Yuan Shao swallowed up Yuan Shu's territory, the emperor would really have no chance at all.

Pointing his Fang Tian Hua Ji directly at Yuan Shu, Lü Bu shouted in dismay, "Old villain, keep your head safe. I will go to Shouchun to get it soon!"

After saying this, he turned his horse around and left.

Zhang Xiu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly settled down.

Just now he was really afraid that Lu Bu would rush over without caring about his life. Although the eight hundred cavalrymen could stop Lu Bu, his life might not be saved.

He turned to Yuan Shu and said, "Your Majesty, please mount your horse and let's leave this place immediately!"

"Okay! Okay!" Yuan Shu was already at a loss and just wanted to escape back to Shouchun as soon as possible.

……

After Yuan Shu fled, the battle to cross the river did not end and continued until the evening.

His army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and the rest either fled or were captured. The 60,000-strong army was basically wiped out.

In addition, five generals, Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun, Li Feng and Le Jiu, were all killed in this battle, and no one survived.

Although the three coalition forces led by Lu Bu suffered seven or eight hundred casualties, it was undoubtedly a great victory.

The key to this victory lies in the morale gap between the two sides caused by Lu Bu's arrow, as well as the opportunities created by generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou who took the lead in charging.

If not, even if the war could be won, there would be at least tens of thousands of casualties.

On the south bank of the Huai River, inside the central army camp.

Lu Bu was exchanging information on the battlefield with Chen Gong and Liu Bei.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang Liao cleaned up the battlefield.

Guan Yu and Gao Shun took in the prisoners.

Zhang Fei led his troops to pursue the fleeing enemy.

"Gongtai, why did Zhang Xiu rescue Yuan Shu?" Lu Bu didn't understand Zhang Xiu's behavior.

If he had not arrived with eight hundred cavalrymen today, Yuan Shu would have been killed by his spear long ago!

Chen Gong stroked his beard, and after a moment's silence, he said, "After Zhang Xiu defeated Cao Cao in Wancheng, he was worried about retaliation, so he led his troops to surrender to Yuan Shu. It's not surprising that he's here. But why did he save Yuan Shu? I can't figure it out for the time being."

Hearing that even Chen Gong couldn't figure it out, Lu Bu simply stopped thinking about it and said with regret: "Almost, just a little bit, I could have killed the false emperor!"

Killing the false emperor is such a great achievement.

By then, would Yuan Shao still have the nerve to occupy the position of general?
Liu Bei smiled and said, "General, you don't need to blame yourself. You should take the credit for crossing the river and defeating the false emperor today. The false emperor is now alone. Even if he escapes, what good will it do? He is nothing but dry bones in a tomb."

The astonishing arrow shot by Lu Bu on the banks of the Huai River today left an indelible impression on him. It was a hundred times more shocking than the shooting of the halberd at the gate!
"It's different, it's different. How can I report to Your Majesty before I complete my mission?" Lu Bu shook his head and sighed, his brows full of sorrow.

If he fails to get the head of the false emperor, his position as general will be in jeopardy.

The more Lü Bu thought about it, the angrier he got. He slammed his palm on the table and said, "If I had known this would happen, I should have shot that arrow at Yuan Shu."

Seeing that Lu Bu was still immersed in regret, Chen Gong did not try to comfort him. Instead, he was very happy that Lu Bu listened to him and focused on preserving himself by not charging into the group of 800 cavalrymen to chase and kill Yuan Shu.

He turned to Liu Bei and said, "Please send someone to keep an eye on Zhang Xiu's movements and see where he is going to escape with the false emperor."

"There is one more thing... Cao Cao is leading an army of 50,000 into Yangzhou by water. His target should be Shouchun. We must be alert."

Before Liu Bei could say anything, Lu Bu flew into a rage: "Cao the thief actually wants to steal the credit!"
