Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 9 Lu Bu among the people
The north wind blows, the war drums beat.

The sound of killing in Hulao Pass was loud, and the metal and iron were melodious.

Lv Bu rode alone, picked up a dozen Kwantung military generals, and killed all the Kwantung princes with fear, and his prestige was unmatched.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other Kwantung princes lost face and looked at each other in embarrassment.

Some people sighed that Lu Bu among people and Chitu among horses really lived up to their reputation.

Yuan Shao's anger rose from his heart when he heard this, and he said with a dark face, "Who can beat Lu Bu?"

As soon as the voice fell, a rich voice sounded, "The young general is willing to go."

Everyone looked at it anxiously, but they saw Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping, turn around from behind.

This person is nine feet long, with a beard two feet long, with red phoenix eyes, crouching silkworm eyebrows, and a face like a jujube, extremely mighty and extraordinary.

Yuan Shao asked, "Who is this?"

Gongsun Zan said, "This is Liu Xuande's younger brother Guan Yu."

Yuan Shao asked again, "Where do you live now?"

Sun Gongzan said: "Follow Liu Xuande as a horse archer."

Yuan Shu next to him couldn't help being furious when he heard the words, a mere horse archer dared to be so arrogant, and shouted at that time: "You bully all the princes without a general? A mere horse archer, dare to talk nonsense, shoot me out!"

Cao Cao hastily persuaded him, saying: "Gaolu, calm down. I see that this man is very brave. If he dares to fight, he must be brave. Why don't you teach him to fight? If he can defeat Lu Bu, it will boost the morale of our army. If he loses , and then ask about the crime."

Yuan Shao said displeased: "If you send an archer to fight, you will be laughed at by the Xiliang rebels."

Cao Cao said: "This man looks good, how do the Xiliang rebels know that he is an archer?"

Guan Yu stared wide-eyed, and said loudly: "If you lose, please behead someone's head."

After saying that, he hurried down the gate, mounted his horse with his knife in hand, and rushed out of the camp to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu thought he was going to die again, so a sneer of disdain broke out on his lips, he dragged Fang Tian to draw his halberd backwards, urged the red rabbit horse under his crotch, and unhurriedly greeted Guan Yu who urged the horse to kill him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they fought, they almost suffered a big loss.

Fortunately, Lu Bu was truly brave and fast. After Fang Tian's painted halberd was swung away by Guan Yu's sword like Mount Tai, he dodged it at a critical moment. meaning.

"Eat a certain halberd!"

Lu Bu urged the horse to rush forward, and Fang Tian slapped down hard with his painted halberd.

"It doesn't matter if I pick you up with ten halberds!"

Guan Yu yelled loudly, boldly and without fear, he brazenly swung his saber to meet the attack.

The two swords and halberds flew back and forth, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, watching the generals of Xiliang and the princes of the Guandong were fascinated.

Although Lu Bu fought more than ten consecutive battles, he was still fierce and fierce, and he became more courageous with each battle.

Guan Yu didn't give in either, Qinglong Yanyue Dao moved as fast as cold electricity, killing his life with the sword.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he praised repeatedly: "I don't think Liu Xuande has such a fierce general under his command. This Guan Yu is so good that he can rival Lu Bu in strength. He is really a tiger general in the world!"

Yuan Shaoqiang laughed twice, and also praised a few words against his will.

Yuan Shu snorted coldly, his eyes showed jealousy, and his face was unhappy.

Seeing this, Cao Cao cursed inwardly, Yuan Gonglu is really beyond tolerance.

When the Hulao was closed, Dong Zhuo was taken aback, "Who is this Guan Yu, who has the ability to rival my son Fengxian?"

The generals in Xiliang looked at each other, you looked at me, and you didn't expect that there would be such a strong general in the Kwantung rebel army.

Luo Zheng took a few glances and said to Dong Zhuo: "My lord, this Guan Yu is Liu Bei's brother-in-law in Pingyuan, and he has unstoppable courage. Zhang Fei is also Liu Bei's brother-in-law. He has ten thousand men who use eight snake spears. Unstoppable bravery, martial arts are not inferior to Guan Yu's, and it will be very disadvantageous for the lord to destroy the Kwantung rebels. In order to avoid future disasters, we can try to get rid of them to avoid future troubles."

"what?"

Dong Zhuo was surprised: "Is there another Zhang Fei who is not under Guan Yu?"

Luo Zheng hurriedly said: "Exactly."

Dong Zhuo's eyes showed murderous intent for a moment, and he said in a deep voice, "Li Jue."

"The end is here."

Li Jue quickly stepped forward and stood by with his hands folded.

Dong Zhuo condensedly said: "Listen to my orders later, lead the Feixiong army to attack, and be sure to kill Guan Yu."

"The last will obey."

Li Jue received the order loudly, flung his cloak, and hurried down the tower.

In front of Hulao Pass.

Lu Bu and Guan Yu had already fought fifty bouts, and they were still tied.

However, Lu Bu was still getting more and more courageous as he fought, while Guan Yu was already slightly out of breath, obviously a little weaker.

In the coalition of princes, Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu, his brother-in-law, would not be able to fight for a long time, and he had only two men under his command. Fearing that Guan Yu might do something wrong, he quickly winked and asked Zhang Fei to go to meet Guan Yu.

"Lu Bu is going crazy, Zhang Yide from Yan is here!"

Zhang Fei let out a roar, the sound was like scorching thunder and thunderbolt, and everyone's eardrums were hurting. When the princes of the Guan army and the generals of Xiliang were looking at it anxiously, Zhang Fei had already speared his horse and charged in. field.

Lu Bu was unafraid, shook his spirits, and fought hard against the two of them.

After several rounds of killing like a revolving lantern, at this moment, Liu Bei also came out with a double-strand sword.

The three brothers surrounded Lu Bu and fought together, only to hear shouts like thunder, as if the sky was collapsing, the momentum was astonishing.

After dozens of rounds of fighting, Lu Bu felt that it was difficult to fight. He quickly made a false move to force Liu Bei away. The red rabbit horse under his crotch had already rushed out like lightning, turned a corner, and went straight to the main formation.

"The slaves of the three surnames will leave."

Zhang Fei yelled sharply, patted his horse and chased after him.

Lu Bu's blood vessels almost exploded out of breath, which really hit his sore spot.

If it weren't for the fact that these three people were not easy to mess with, they would have to go back to their horses and kill this black servant.

Amidst the lingering sound of ox horns, there was the sound of thunderous hooves.

Li Jue led thousands of Xiliang cavalry generals out, and went straight to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Not good, the second and third brothers retreat quickly."

Liu Bei was shocked, and hastily retracted the double-strand swords and let out a cry.

"Wait for someone to kill me to my heart's content."

Zhang Fei didn't care, and rushed into the Xiliang army first.

A cold flame flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, he turned his horse's head, and stood by Liu Bei's side tightly.

At this moment, the shocking sound of war drums tore through the sky and rushed straight to Xiaohan.

The eight thousand Kwantung Army quickly pressed forward and formed a group with the Xiliang cavalry, shouting and screaming.

Lu Bu escaped to the rear and breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately rode his horse with a halberd to kill Zhang Fei, but there were Kwantung soldiers and Xiliang soldiers fighting together everywhere, and there was no shadow of Zhang Fei, so he had to kill a few Kwantung soldiers to vent his anger.

"Third brother, where did third brother go?"

During the melee, Liu Bei looked around anxiously while beheading Xiliang cavalry under the guard of Guan Yu.

Guan Yu beheaded the three Xiliang soldiers rushing over with his knife, and replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry, brother, the third brother has unstoppable courage, so nothing will happen. We just need to kill the Xiliang rebels, and then we will be able to fight back." Meet my brother."

"That's all it takes."

Liu Bei sighed, still very worried.

Firstly, the brotherly love is deep, and secondly, he really has no one under his command, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the only two who are his right shoulders, if there is something wrong with him, it will be like cutting off one of his arms.

Liu Bei was worried about Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei was so excited to kill him, but he had long forgotten Liu Bei's instructions.

This fellow is warlike, and after fighting for a while, he felt unsatisfactory, so he even rode alone towards the city gate, planning to take the opportunity to enter the city gate and snatch the city. This is really how bold he is and how productive he is.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the city gate, he was besieged by the Xiliang army.

Instead of taking advantage of the situation and rushing into the city, he was almost trapped to death by the Xiliang army.

Fortunately, this guy was really brave, and he forced a bloody path, just in front of Liu Bei.

"Third brother, come here quickly."

When Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei suddenly, he was overjoyed and shouted.

Guan Yu also shouted: "Second brother, don't be reckless, come and protect elder brother."

Zhang Fei laughed twice, and immediately urged the horse to kill him.

The two armies fought in a scuffle, and it was almost noon before they left nearly a thousand corpses and retreated.

The Kwantung Allied Forces wanted to take advantage of the situation to snatch the pass and seize the city. Unexpectedly, arrows shot at the top of the city, and one person was shot on his back.

Yuan Shao had no choice but to press down with his army and attack Hulao Pass.

For more than ten days in a row, the allied forces of the princes stormed the pass city day and night, preparing to break through the pass in one fell swoop and flee to Luoyang.

The corpses piled up like a mountain under the Hulao Gate, and the blood merged into a small river, staining the earth red.

The Kwantung Allied Forces stormed the strong city, although they suffered heavy losses.

The Xiliang army was not much better. Facing the Kwantung coalition army twice as large as itself, after half a month, the number of casualties reached an astonishing [-], and the number of minor injuries was uncountable.

At the end of April, the Kwantung Allied Forces finally couldn't bear the huge casualties, and retreated ten miles to the village.

Dong Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief just now, but an extremely bad news came three days later.

According to detailed reports, Liu Fan, the eldest son of Yizhou Mu Liu Yanzhu, led [-] troops to Hanzhong, and the soldiers forced Xiegu.

Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly summoned all the generals to discuss countermeasures in the temporary prime minister's mansion.

"Now Mrs. Liu Yanpi is making trouble, what can I do?"

Dong Zhuo furrowed his brows deeply, looked around at the counselors and generals in the hall, and asked in a loud voice.

All the generals were silent, frowning in thought.

Luo Zheng was also surprised, remembering that when the princes were begging for Dong, there seemed to be no Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yan.

Could it be that the butterfly effect was caused by his own arrival?

Just listen to Li Rudao: "My lord, I have made a detailed report recently. There are nursery rhymes in the Luoyang market. There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. It is not difficult to walk into Chang'an. I think that 'a Han in the west' is in response to Gaozu Wang Yu. Chang'an, the western capital, is said to be the Twelve Emperors; "A Han in the East" is said to be Guangwu Wang in Luoyang, the Eastern Capital. Today, the Twelve Emperors are also passed on, which is really a combination of fate. Now the rebel army is strong, and there are Liu After attacking our army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to block them, so why not move back to Chang'an to respond to the nursery rhymes, so that we will be safe."

"This……"

Dong Zhuo was startled when he heard the words, it was very difficult to make a decision.

All the generals in the hall heard the words and responded one after another: "What the military master said is true, please order the emperor to move the emperor."

In the past half a month, the arrogance of the Xiliang generals has been completely wiped out by the Western Kwantung Allied Forces, and everyone has come to their senses. They no longer have the dream of spring and autumn, and they don't want to fight the Kwantung Army again. Moving the capital to Chang'an is undoubtedly the best Method.

"My lord must not!"

Just when Dong Zhuo was still hesitating, there was a loud shout from the audience.

Everyone turned their heads to look anxiously, but it was Xiaoqi Captain Luo Zheng who was sitting at the door.

Li Jue, who lived at the top on the left side, showed displeasure, and shouted: "You are a small captain, dare not know the rules, and shout here. There is no place for you to talk here, and you still don't back down. "

Li Ru also showed a cold look, and glanced at Luo Zheng, a little displeased.

The rest of the generals looked strangely at Dong Zhuo calmly.

Dong Zhuo reprimanded: "Aren't you backing down?"

Luo Zheng turned his heart and said loudly: "The general will have a plan to defeat the enemy, why don't the lord listen to the general's words?"

Dong Zhuo was stunned, and said in a deep voice, "What do you have in mind, let's try it out."

Li Ru and a group of military generals also showed strange colors, and their eyes all fell on Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng made some calculations at the moment.
