The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 97
Yanxi used to be a Yellow Turban thief active in Qingzhou.

Back then, the Yellow Turban riots were suppressed by rebels from all over the country, and Zhang Jiao's brothers were killed one after another. Many Qu Shuai and Yellow Turban generals also died in the hands of the officers and soldiers.

Those who survived by luck either served the court, or took over the mountain as king and became bandits who harmed one side.

Sun Guan, Mao Xi and others successively swore allegiance to the imperial court.

Although they took the oath, they did not vote for the local government, let alone the embrace of the Han court. They just abandoned the name of the Yellow Turban and became an official army in a grandiose manner.

Zang Ba, Sun Guan and Lv Bu made friends, and some people even thought that they had already joined Lv Bu.

In fact, the relationship between the two of them in the past and Lu Bu, it is more appropriate to say that it is an alliance than a subordination.

Yanxi has a different personality from them.

He has always considered issues from the perspective of interests, and he even cooperated with Liu Bei twice in order to get more benefits.

Last time, Maoxi joined forces with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao, and later turned against Liu Bei.

Cao Cao was busy attacking Zhang Xiu in Wancheng at that time, and didn't focus on Qingzhou, which gave him the opportunity to continue to grow.

Short-sighted and unrighteous, Manxi is doomed to always carry the banditry of a Yellow Turban thief.

The coach is bandit-like, and the men he summons are of course more like bandits than a well-disciplined army.

Yanxi was killed, and Lu Bu ran back and forth on the battlefield carrying the head.

The [-] Rangxi soldiers squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms, and their weapons were placed in front of them.

In recent days, Zang Ba and Sun Guan lost consecutive battles, and the morale of the soldiers was once low.

Lu Bu came and defeated the enemy in one battle.

Morale, once low, was now boiling.

Proud soldiers walked among the captives, picking up the weapons they had dropped on the ground.

Some soldiers picked up the captives and touched them from head to toe.

After making sure that they did not hide any weapons, they were escorted aside to allow those who had been inspected to squat down again.

Lu Bu, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan rode together on the battlefield.

Behind them are some soldiers who are busy burying the dead and treating the wounded.

Not far in front of him were the soldiers who were disarming the captives.

Surrendering on the battlefield means giving your life to your former enemy.

The life and death of the captives are only in the mind of the enemy commander.

The confiscated weapons piled up into a hill.

Some of them are sharp blades, and more are very rough weapons.

Those weapons were either rusty, or they were simply spikes cut out of wooden sticks, which could be regarded as the simplest spears.

"There are quite a few people, and the weapons are so simple." Looking at the pile of weapons, Lu Bu said, "Zaoxi still has the temperament of the yellow scarf bandit back then."

Sun Guan, who also worked as a Yellow Turban thief, said: "I have known Yanxi for many years. He was like this at the beginning. I didn't expect that after all these years, his temperament would not change."

"So you are a general, and he is always just a bandit." Lu Bu smiled at him.

"What kind of general am I..." Sun Guan shook his head in embarrassment.

Lu Bu changed the subject: "Xianxi has been eliminated, and his soldiers have also become prisoners. It's time for me and the two of you to talk about our business."

Entering the enemy camp single-handedly, Lu Bu's bravery completely overwhelmed Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

It was his first time to kill back and forth among the enemy troops, and the two of them had no doubts about his identity.

Looking around the world, apart from Lu Bu, there are not many people who can ride alone and fight back and forth among the enemy troops.

What's more, he is still a person who is indistinguishable from Lu Bu in terms of appearance and body shape except for his age difference!

"I am willing to obey Wen Hou's order." Zang Ba and Sun Guan agreed in unison.

Leading the two of them to a place farther away from the prisoners, Lu Bu jumped off his horse.

Sitting on the soft grass, he greeted Zang Ba and Sun Guan: "Two generals, come and sit here."

Having been convinced by Lu Bu, Zang Ba and Sun Guan respected him even more.

How dare the two of them sit down beside Lu Bu, Zang Ba replied, "Sit down, Mrs. Wen, it's good for us to stand."

"There are no outsiders, let you two sit, just sit." Lu Bu patted the ground.

Glancing at each other, the two hesitated to sit down a little away from Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked into the distance, and said leisurely: "Summer is here."

Not understanding why he said such a sentence, Zang Ba asked: "Wen Hou said just now..."

"Don't you think the scenery in front of you is beautiful?" Lu Bu interrupted him.

Taking them aside, instead of talking about business, Zang Ba and Sun Guan were both stunned when they talked about the scenery.

Not knowing what he meant, Zang Ba and Sun Guan didn't dare to ask, they agreed in a daze.

"Do you two generals really want to ask, why do I talk about scenery with you instead of talking about business?" Lu Bu turned his gaze to them.

The two of them had such doubts, but it was difficult to ask them out.

"Why are we leading the expedition?" Lu Bu stood up and looked into the distance, and said impassionedly, "Isn't it because of the boundless mountains and rivers? Isn't it because of the beautiful scenery? How delicate are the mountains and rivers? The world laughs and talks about the ups and downs."

He suddenly turned around and faced the two generals: "I intend to conquer the world, I wonder if the two of you are willing to accomplish great things with me?"

Zang Ba and Sun Guan had no so-called loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

Leading troops to fight is nothing more than earning a living territory for themselves.

Before the Battle of Xiapi, the two wanted to make friends because they heard that Lu Bu was mighty.

Unexpectedly, as mighty as Lu Bu, he was also surrounded by Cao Cao in Xiapi, and he couldn't lift his head from the beating.

Only then did they feel desperate for Lu Bu, and they were chased by Yan Xi like a lost dog. They were planning to find another way out, but they didn't expect Lu Bu to come.

Not only did he come, but he also subverted the perception of the two of them.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan never imagined that there are actually people in this world who can return from middle age to youth.

The two of them knew very well that Lu Bu was the champion of the world.

But they never dared to think that with only one person's strength, he could kill back and forth among the enemy army without any injuries.

The disappointment towards Lu Bu caused by the Battle of Xiapi was wiped out in this battle. Lu Bu proposed to accomplish great things together with them. How could the two of them hesitate?

"We are willing to follow Wen Hou!" Zang Ba and Sun Guan expressed their willingness to surrender with a bow.

Then Zang Ba looked at the captives: "Too many enemy troops have been captured, and it will be troublesome to deal with them."

Sun Guan also nodded: "You can't kill it, you can't let it go, and it's useless to keep it. It's really a headache."

"It's nothing to worry about." Lu Bu smiled lightly, "The two generals look at me."

Twenty thousand prisoners of war, ten times the number of soldiers they brought.

Neither Zang Ba nor Sun Guan thought about what method Lu Bu would use to deal with the [-] prisoners of war.

From their point of view, no matter what Lu Bu does, there is no way to perfectly solve the prisoner of war problem.

[-] prisoners of war, there is no end in sight.

Accompanied by Zang Ba and Sun Guan, he came to the prisoners of war. Lu Bu looked around with his hips on his hips, his gaze swept across the faces of the prisoners of war.
