Chapter 732 Battle of Three Heroes!
It is said that Guan Hai received Sima Yi's guidance and knew that he could not be a match for Lu Bu.
So on the one hand he prepared to let Lu Bu pass through, and on the other hand he went to inform Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
Naturally, Lu Bu did not expect that his whereabouts could be deduced by Sima Yi from clues.
Lu Bu, who had been in Bingzhou for a long time, had not yet experienced the ability of a top civil official like Sima Yi.
When Lu Bu finally took a detour to cross the river, rushed out of Henan County and appeared on the west side of Yanzhou, he was faced with Liu Bei's army that was ready for battle.
Before the host.
Swords and spears were like a forest. The soldiers in the front row were all wearing armor and holding shields, with spearmen standing behind them, forming spear formations. This was a natural formation to defend against cavalry attacks.
Twenty thousand Bingzhou cavalrymen came in overwhelming numbers, the wind blew up dust, the horses' hooves fell, and the earth was shaking.
Liu Bei rode forward and laughed at the majestic Lü Bulang: "Where are you going, Governor of Bingzhou?"
After experiencing the Taiping Rebellion, many people were afraid of Lu Bu. After all, he was the only one who could withstand Zhang Jue's attack head-on.
Later, when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought, Lu Bu destroyed the Youzhou cavalry's line like a whirlwind, which made people even more frightened.
But Liu Bei was not afraid!
As for why?
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun all rode their horses forward, stood beside Liu Bei, and stared at Lu Bu together. This was Liu Bei's confidence.
In a fight between two generals, Liu Bei was not afraid of Lu Bu at all.
As for the large-scale military confrontation, that goes without saying.
Lu Bu was a first-class cavalry commander, but not the top one. In this respect, he was not as good as Zhang Liao under his command. Li Jue and Guo Si were both better than Lu Bu at the time.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei were as good as Lu Bu in command, and Guan Yu was far superior to Lu Bu.
If it was really a battle between commanding a large army, considering Guan Yu's many experiences and the fact that he was able to command tens of thousands of troops, it would not be difficult for him to defeat Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was a little surprised when he saw Liu Bei's army suddenly appearing, and immediately knew that his whereabouts had been exposed.
But he remained unafraid.
As the current number one in the world, he simply untied the cloak behind him, then took a few steps forward with his Red Hare, drew his Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and laughed loudly: "Lord Xuande, we haven't seen each other for many years since Zhang Jue died.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Zilong, they are still heroes. It's a pity that we meet today, but the occasion is not right, otherwise it would be very clear. "
Liu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. He called Lu Bu the Governor of Bingzhou, which was the official title conferred on him by the Han Dynasty. However, Lu Bu did not call him the General of Cavalry, but called him Lord Xuande.
The meaning behind this is not simple.
Zhang Fei didn't care about all that. He had disliked Lu Bu since he first met him more than ten years ago.
When he saw Lü Bu, he immediately shouted, "Lü Bu, why are you helping Yuan Shao, the traitor who rebelled against the Han Dynasty? Do you want to be a traitor to the Han Dynasty too?"
When Lu Bu heard this, his face immediately fell. Zhang Fei actually called him by his name. He immediately shouted angrily: "Black Zhang Fei, how rude! Is this what Liu Xuande taught you?"
Zhang Fei became furious when he heard this and wanted to step forward but was stopped by Liu Bei.
Seeing this, Lü Bu immediately laughed and said, "Now that Zhang Jue is dead, who in this world can be my opponent?
Liu Xuande is your friend. If you dare to come forward, I will kill you on the spot."
Zhang Fei could not bear it any longer. He roared, rode forward, thrust his Zhangba Snake Spear forward, and shouted, "Lü Bu, I will stab you with dozens of holes!"
At Zhang Fei's current age, his physical strength has just reached its peak.
If we have to give him a number, it must be above 95 in the first 100 moves.
When Lu Bu saw the Zhangba Snake Spear coming over, he was surprised and happy. It had been many years since he had had a satisfying battle since Zhang Jue.
They immediately went forward to meet them, while Zhang Liao led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to support them from behind.
As soon as the two men fought, Zhang Fei felt his hand go numb, and he vaguely had the feeling of facing Zhang Jue back then.
But the threat posed by Lu Bu is far less than that posed by Zhang Jiao back then. Not only is Lu Bu inferior to Zhang Jiao, Zhang Fei himself is also much stronger than before and is no longer as powerful as he was when he was a rookie.
Lu Bu had not fought with Zhang Fei for many years, and he was still a little uncomfortable. But after only a hundred moves, Lu Bu began to overpower Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei could only rely on his natural strength to fight back.
Zhang Fei thrust his spear out again and took a deep breath. Lu Bu guessed that Zhang Fei was going to yell again. Lu Bu was also very annoyed by Zhang Fei's yelling. Sometimes he would be directly shocked so much that his ears and head would buzz. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei yelled directly: "Second brother, Zilong, come and help me!"
That’s her mother!
Lu Bu angrily shouted, "Shameless!"
Guan Yu and Zhao Yun immediately rushed forward. The fight against Zhang Jue was a siege. Since Lu Bu wanted to claim himself as the best in the world after Zhang Jue, he should feel the feeling of being besieged.
Facing the siege of three people, Lu Bu suddenly felt his scalp tingling and the pressure suddenly reached its extreme. Zhao Yun's attack was urgent and fast, Zhang Fei's spear was powerful, steady, accurate and ruthless, and Guan Yu's sword was one after another, as if he was accumulating strength.
Lu Bu relied on his Red Hare to maneuver and barely fend off the siege of the three men.
What Lu Bu faced was not a simple enemy of thousands of people, but a super master in the top circle of the world.
Now, three of the top six masters in the world are besieging Lu Bu.
Although Lu Bu is strong, he can only fight one against two at most, especially Zhao Yun. Not to mention his command ability, his martial arts strength is definitely the second best in the world.
Lu Bu used another move to sweep away thousands of troops and repel Guan Yu. Red Hare reacted quickly, jumped up and left the battle formation.
Lu Bu felt cold sweat all over his body. He felt that he might die in the battle at any moment. Even his body could not help trembling. That was the natural emotion when one is on the verge of death.
Little did they know that Guan, Zhang and Zhao had the same feeling and they all breathed a sigh of relief, especially Zhang Fei. He knew that he was impulsive, but the result was still good as he had tested out Lu Bu's current strength.
Once Taishi Ci arrives, the four of them can kill him together.
Or call on Cao Cao's guards Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and the five of them together can kill Lu Bu in just a few dozen moves!
Liu Xuande finally let go of the worry he had initially felt.
Zhang Fei began to taunt and incite hatred again, saying: "Lü Fengxian, is this your strength?
He actually challenged Zhang Jiao's position as the best in the world?
Even the three of us managed to survive together, so how can we compare with Zhang Jiao? Don’t forget, six of us, including you, were defeated by Zhang Jiao.”
Lu Bu felt very aggrieved. He wanted to say that he was not so strong at the beginning, and neither were Guan, Zhang and Zhao. But what Zhang Fei said was also true.
At this time, Zhang Liao stepped forward and said, "Zhang Yide, Zhang Jiao is indeed invincible.
But Zhang Jue is dead!
Now in this world, except for my lord, who else can survive the combined forces of you three? Who among you dares to fight my lord alone?
My lord is not the best in the world, so are you still the best in the world?
Since you are outnumbered, let's see who wins on the battlefield!"
Lu Bu gave Zhang Liao a look, then said to Liu Bei, "Liu Xuande, since you have already guessed why I, Lu Bu, came here, there is no need to say more.
Yuan Benchu is my, Lu Bu’s, relative by marriage. I have no choice but to help him when he is in trouble. I have 100,000 Bingzhou cavalry.
Today, I will let you, the overlord of Huaisi, open your eyes!
My boys!
Meet the enemy! "
After that, he turned his horse around and rode side by side with Zhang Liao, saying softly, "Wenyuan, you don't have to charge into the battle today. You are responsible for commanding, and I will be responsible for charging!"
The so-called "don't charge" means don't charge to the front. Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Liao not to fight. Besides, there are only 20,000 real cavalrymen, which do not need to be commanded like a large army.
With Lu Bu and Zhang Liao's ability to command troops, it would be enough just to charge into the battle formation instinctively.
Liu Xuande was shocked to see that Lu Bu was willing to fight with him under such circumstances.
After hearing the reason given by Lu Bu, I suddenly felt speechless.
in law?
What kind of relationship is this?
Unless it is a generational marriage like the one between the Cao and Xiahou families, where they are intertwined, then it is normal to offer family assets to help. After all, the Xiahou family was completely treated as a clan relative by Cao Cao.
But Lu Bu and Yuan Shao had only been married for one generation, and this relationship was extremely fragile.
If Lu Bu was willing, Liu Bei could easily find another husband of noble status and handsome appearance for Lu Qiling.
Given Lu Qiling's status and position, no one would mind even if she had a child.
…
The news of Lu Bu's arrival soon reached Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Cao Cao felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue.
At present, he and Liu Bei are not as powerful as Yuan Shao. Now with Lu Bu joining, Yuan Shao's side probably has tens of thousands of cavalry alone. These tens of thousands of cavalry are completely invincible on the vast plains of Yanzhou and Yuzhou!
Now Cao Cao’s biggest hope is that the reinforcements from the princes will arrive soon, but the princes’ reinforcements will not set out as early as Lu Bu, so it will take time for them to enter the battlefield.
Under such circumstances, Cao Cao had to hold out against the attack of Yuan Shao's army.
There was jubilation among Yuan Shao's army. They already had the advantage, and now with a powerful ally, they were almost on the verge of victory.
Yuan Shao laughed heartily and said, "God is really helping me."
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Luo Yan suddenly walk in quickly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Gao Lan's army was ambushed in Taishan County. The entire army was destroyed, and Gao Lan died."
The atmosphere that was lively just now suddenly froze.
One of the four pillars of Hebei is dead!
Zhang He was seriously injured and had an arm broken, so he could not go to the battlefield for a short period of time. Who would have thought that in such a short period of time, both of these great generals would suffer misfortune.
Yuan Shao took a deep breath and said, "Fortunately, Lü Feng arrived at the battlefield first, otherwise the road to Qingzhou would be cut off and it would be very dangerous.
It seems that what the ministers said earlier is indeed reasonable. We cannot directly attack Cao and Liu, but must first capture Henei County and Taishan County. "
Luo Yan thought Yuan Shao was going to divide his troops and attack two places at the same time, so he immediately said, "Your Majesty, with the participation of the Governor of Bingzhou, our army is now strong. Why don't we attack Cao and Liu first, and then go straight to Xuchang to conquer the Central Plains in one battle?"
Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Before you think about victory, you must think about defeat. I have made up my mind. I will mobilize the army and wipe out Taishan County!"
When they heard that Yuan Shao was only planning to attack Taishan County, everyone felt relieved.
