Liu Yu walked to Lin Nan and said to Lin Nan: "Ziyu, I'll go back first, and wait for you in front of your military camp later. Let's go to Hulao Pass together. This article is first published by...

Lin Nan nodded and watched Liu Yu leave.

Jia Xu, who had been standing behind Lin Nan, leaned in Lin Nan's ear and whispered: "Lord, Lu Bu is brave. If you get this person as a general, the world will be settled."

Lin Nan knew what Jia Xu meant, but he was not going to accept Lu Bu. Because he knew Lu Bu still, he shook his head and said to Jia Xu: "This person is capricious and it is useless to accept it. However, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun under his tent need you to do more. Taking advantage of these days, please ask you to visit Zhang Liao in person, Gao Shun, and find out the trouble first."

Jia Xu said "No" and whispered: "Master, it's time for us to leave, too."

Lin Nan said "hmm", got up and left, but saw Liu Bei following Tao Qian, and he immediately shouted: "Brother Xuande, please stay!"

Liu Bei turned around and saw that it was Lin Nan, so he said to Tao Qian: "Please go back first, I will arrive later."

Tao Qian didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Liu Bei bowed to Lin Nan and said, "I don't know what General Lin has to do with his teachings?"

Lin Nan smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just heard that Brother Xuande resigned from his position as the prefect of Liaoxi. I felt a little sudden. I was also worried about Brother Xuande's future. I didn't expect that Brother Xuande had already arrived at the governor of Xuzhou. I should congratulate you."

Liu Bei smiled and replied, "General Lin is so polite. I have not thanked Brother Xuande for recommending me as the prefect of western Liaoning before. This time I took the initiative to congratulate me. I am really ashamed of it. Let's do this. I invite General Lin to have a drink or two tonight. We have not had a long talk for a long time. I wonder if General Lin can enjoy the glory?"

Lin Nandao: "Okay, then it's better to obey your orders than respect. When the Bingzhou soldiers are in war, I will definitely visit them in person."

Liu Bei clasped his fists and said, "Okay, let's talk about it for a long time, let's have an important matter. Let's go and leave first. General Lin, say goodbye."

Liu Bei's figure left the tent, Lin Nan's smile suddenly closed, and he cursed Liu Bei secretly in his heart.

"This person is not simple. Brother Ziyu needs to be more careful in the future." Sun Jian came out of nowhere, and like a ghost, he suddenly spoke in Lin Nan's ear.

Seeing Sun Jian and Cheng Pu standing behind him, Lin Nan hurriedly bowed and said, "So it's Brother Wentai, Brother Wentai looks good today."

"Haha. Please ask my brother for your blessing. Brother, let's go, everyone has dispersed, and it's not a solution for us to stay here."

So Lin Nan and Sun Jian walked side by side, exchanged greetings along the way, and then separated.

On the way back to the military camp, Lin Nan said to himself: "Sun Jian doesn't know what's wrong. Since yesterday, he has been absent-minded, as if he has something to do. Moreover, his previous domineering aura has disappeared without a trace."

"Master, maybe it was the words of the lord yesterday that awakened Sun Jian. Sun Jian was loyal to the Han Dynasty, but in the face of this situation where the world was about to fission, he would naturally appear deeper. Moreover, the lord has already said so thoroughly that Sun Jian would understand. Maybe he is planning how to occupy Jiangdong?" Jia Xu explained.

Lin Nan smiled and said, "Maybe, go and call Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Hua Xiong, and Xun You. You can go to Hulao Pass with me. Everyone else will rest in the military camp."

"promise!"

The majestic Hulao Pass is located in Chenggao County, west of Sishui, and is named after King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Under Hulao Pass, Lu Bu took the lead, holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji, riding a tall blue horse under his crotch, wearing a mature bronze helmet and bright silver armor, standing in front of the army in a breeze, becoming a figure that the coalition forces and Dong Zhuojun are both eye-catching. He rode his horse forward, took a few steps, and moved the Fang Tian Hua Ji forward, shouting loudly: "Old Dong Zhuo, come out and die quickly!"

At the Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo, surrounded by the generals, saw Lu Bu so majestic, pointed at Lu Bu and asked, "Who is this?"

Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were close to Dong Zhuo, and the two answered in unison: "Qi Zhuo, this person is Lu Bu Lu Fengxian under the tent of Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou."

"Lu Bu?" Dong Zhuo heard this name and shook his body with a straight face and asked loudly, "Is he Lu Bu who broke through the 50,000 troops along the Yellow River with five thousand light cavalry?"

Since Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were forced to retreat by Lu Bu, although they had not lost much troops, they had already lost for a while in terms of momentum. After they were defeated and returned to Hulao Pass, they were scolded by Dong Zhuo. Now when they heard Dong Zhuo's angry words, neither of them dared to speak.

"You useless wastes! You can't even deal with a little Lu Bu? You really lose the face of me, Xiliang people!" Dong Zhuo pressed the wall with both hands, gritting his teeth in anger, wishing he could bite Lu Bu to death in one go.

Li Ru hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "The Grand Master calmed down, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were not incompetent, they could only say that Lu Bu was too strong..."

"You still have the face to say that I asked you to guard Sishui Pass, but what happened? Li Jue died in battle and Sishui Pass was also lost. I still regard you as my confidant generals. You really disappoint me!" As soon as Dong Zhuo's irritable temper started, anyone who persuaded him would be unlucky.

However, after all, Li Ru has been following Dong Zhuo for many years and has been Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. He has his own way to deal with his father-in-law. He heard that Dong Zhuo was so angry, he did not retreat but instead advanced, and smiled and said, "Taishou calm down. Li Jue's death was also his own fault. He easily believed others' nonsense. At that time, I received news that Zhang Ji and Fan Chou retreated. I hurriedly advised Li Jue to return to the army, but Li Jue insisted on refusing and even bombarded us all, saying that he could kill Lin Nan and Sun Jian alone. I told the Tai Shi about this. At that time, I was afraid that Sishui Pass would be attacked by the coalition forces, and fully believed that Li Jue could kill the enemy general, so he took Xu Rong and Guo Si back, but he did not know..."

"Okay, okay, I already know, but Li Jue died in battle, which caused too much damage to our army. This matter has passed like this, and I don't want to pursue it anymore." Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu who was shouting at him, and said, pointing at Lu Bu and asked. "Who dares to fight Lu Bu to the death? Those who cut off his head will be named Wanhu Hou!"

"I'm willing to go!" Xu Rong stood up from behind Li Ru with a big knife in his hand, clasped his fists and said.

Dong Zhuo said: "How magnificent, your force is not weak, so you can try Lu Bu's strength. Let me see who this Lu Bu is!"

"No!" Xu Rong immediately took the initiative to get off the city tower and rushed out of Hulao Pass with five hundred cavalry.

Under Hulao Pass, Lu Bu was still clamoring there. Seeing that there was no movement at all, he was about to turn his horse back, but suddenly he saw that the door of the door was wide open, and a general with a big sword rushed out of the door, followed by five hundred cavalrymen, scattered by the city gate.

Lu Bu looked over and saw that the general was still a bit majestic, but he didn't take it seriously. He shouted, "Who is coming?"

Seeing Lu Bu looking careless, Xu Rong didn't take him seriously at all. He rode his horse forward for a while, raised the big knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Rebel Lu Bu. I am the former general Xu Rong, and I will come to take your dog head today. If you know the truth, get off the horse and give it to your head!"

In the coalition, all the princes were watching the battle in front of the formation, but seeing that Sun Jian rode forward and took two steps, he had fought with Xu Rong, and Xu Rong's force was indeed not weak. He kindly reminded: "General Lu, this is an allied army under Dong Zhuo's tent. Compared with Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others have won too much. Generals need to be careful!"

Lu Bu only smiled faintly, without looking back, and said unfamiliar to Sun Jian's words. He shouted to Xu Rong: "You are not my opponent, step back quickly and just teach the old thief Dong Zhuo to come out and die!"

Xu Rong was very good at art and brave. He was more powerful than Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou who Dong Zhuo brought back from Liangzhou. He was also eager to make military contributions in front of Dong Zhuo to make up for the loss of Sishui Pass and Xingyang. At this time, he heard Lu Bu being so arrogant, so he slapped out and shouted: "I'm too much!"

When Lu Bu saw Xu Rong riding his horse towards him, he ran forward slowly for a short distance, then strangled the horse, held the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand with one hand, waiting for Xu Rong to come.

This scene shocked everyone. The battle immediately relied on the impact force. The further away the distance, the faster the horses ran, the greater the lethality they brought. However, Lu Bu grabbed the horses and stood there motionlessly, as if they were a living target and let others stab them randomly.

When Xu Rong saw Lu Bu performing this kind of fighting posture, he became extremely angry. Seeing that the horse was about to rush, he hurriedly waved the sword in his hand and drove out all his strength to chop towards Lu Bu.

The blade shone a trace of cold light in the low sunlight, and the sharp blade emitted a creeping chill. If the momentum that was like a force to cut down on Huashan would fall, it would inevitably split the living person into two petals. As the blade continued to fall, Xu Rong's face was full of a confident smile.

Lu Bu was still riding on the horse, not even moving, which made people sweat for him.

Suddenly, Xu Rong's horse rushed to Lu Bu, and the big knife in his hand also slashed down. When he was about to slash Lu Bu's shoulder, he suddenly heard a crisp "clang" sound. A big knife flew directly into the air, rotating freely in the air, rising higher and higher, spinning faster and faster, without any intention of falling.

"ah--"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Rong let out a scream. His entire right arm was gone, and his body was constantly spraying blood, dyeing half of his body bright red.

At the same time, Lu Bu ran over from behind on a war horse, stabbed the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand forward, and pierced Xu Rong's entire person with his right arm. He shouted loudly and picked Xu Rong's entire body from the back of the horse and threw it out into the air. Xu Rong's body rose into the air.

At this time, the big sword that had previously flew into the air also fell straight down. The blade flew from a distance like a devil, and directly penetrated into Xu Rong's heart, and began to fall down as Xu Rong's body.

"Choose and kill!"

Lu Bu suddenly rode his horse to the place where Xu Rong's body fell, raised the Fang Tian Huaji in his hand, and after shouting, he began to wave the Fang Tian Huaji and slash in the air...

In just a moment, Xu Rong's body fell to the ground was no longer a corpse, but a limb, internal organs, limbs, heads, and bones, all of which were broken. It made people feel sick when they fell to the ground.

Lu Bu was still holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji in one hand. His halberd was still hung with a piece of intestine on his halberd, and the whole halberd was covered with blood. He rode his horse to the Hulao Pass again. He stared at Dong Zhuo on the city of Guan, and shouted loudly: "Thief Dong! Come out and die!"

With this loud shout, the five hundred cavalrymen who came out with Xu Rong began to become anxious, and the cavalry were also frightened and retreated into the pass, and the city gates were also closed tightly.

There was a stern silence between heaven and earth. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood...

Lu Bu stood alone under Hulao Pass. At this time, he showed his image like an invincible statue. With his aura that was enough to swallow mountains and rivers, and his invincible force, his image suddenly rose to an unattainable level.

All the princes and civil and military generals who came to watch the battle in the coalition were all impressed by Lu Bu's courage. In their eyes, this was the first time that this kind of thing was seen. Even Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Xu Chu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Hua Xiong and others present could not help but ask themselves whether they could do such bravery as Lu Bu.

Among the heroes, Cao Cao suddenly frowned. Seeing the scene just now, he heard Dian Wei behind him, and Xu Chu and the other two made a low scream at the same time. This was the first time he encountered Dian Wei. Xu Chu made such an incredible sound at the same time. He looked at Lu Bu's generous and heroic back carefully, and slowly thought in his heart: "Lu Bu is brave in the world. If I get Lu Bu, it is equivalent to holding the world in my own hands."

Lin Nan knew early in the morning that Lu Bu was the best general in the world in this era. But he didn't expect that he would be so brave. Not only did he deal with Xu Rong in one round, he even used the Fangtian painting halberd in his hand to kill Xu Rong to pieces. You must know that the edges of the weapon such as a halberd are very average, and they can only be used to stab, hook, etc., while the halberd method demonstrated by Lu Bu was to use the most dull part of the painting halberd to kill Xu Rong's body. The painting halberd could be used as sharp as a steel knife in the world. He was the first to see it.

"Second brother, did you see it just now? Did Lu Bu really cut off Xu Rong's body with a halberd?" Zhang Fei, who was not far from Lin Nan, suddenly screamed, widened his eyes and questioned.

Guan Yu nodded and said, "It was indeed a slash with a halberd. That slash is so beautiful. Third brother, this person's martial arts are far higher than ours, so you need to be careful in the future."

"Hmph! What's so great about it? Isn't it just a single slash? Can it be comparable to my sting? If I have the chance, I must compete with him. This kid Lu Bu has ignited the fighting spirit in my heart. If I don't fight with him, I will never be able to sleep or eat in my life. I must compete with him!" Zhang Fei said unconvincedly.

Zhang Fei's voice was very loud, attracting the attention of many people. After everyone saw it, they didn't know each other very well, and they secretly laughed at Zhang Fei, a nameless man.

Liu Bei stopped Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's conversation, and the coalition forces calmed down again.

Lin Nan listened carefully and felt that he was unwilling to admit defeat, but he looked very similar to Zhang Fei's personality. He only smiled softly and said to Zhao Yun behind him: "Zilong, how about you compare to Lu Bu?"

Zhao Yun also looked dissatisfied. When he heard Lin Nan's question, he said, "Lu Bu is brave. This strike is indeed beautiful, but the other party is Xu Rong. If it were me, the outcome is unknown."

Cao Cao and Lin Nan were next to each other, and Dian Wei, who had always been taciturn behind him, suddenly said to Xu Chu beside him: "Fatty Xu, remember this person, if you have a chance, we must fight him."

After a while, all the generals present began to complain, and the scene of Xu Rong being killed by Lu Bu also revealed the fighting spirit in his heart. His faces showed dissatisfaction, as if they were about to challenge Lu Bu.

"Thief Dong! Come out and die!" Lu Bu was still calling in front of him, but he didn't know that there were thousands of eyes staring at him behind him, and everyone with self-restrained courage wanted to fight.

Dong Zhuo, who was in the Hulao Pass, was shocked when he saw it. He knew Xu Rong's strength very well, but he didn't want to be killed by Lu Bu in one round. He couldn't help but feel a little afraid of Lu Bu and hurriedly said: "Hold the battle card without my orders, no one is allowed to fight!"

The Hulao Pass hung up a high battle-free sign. No matter how Lu Bu shouted under the pass, the Hulao Pass was calm. Lu Bu tried to attack several times, but each attack was at the cost of his own casualties. In desperation, the coalition forces had to retreat to the camp.

Seeing the coalition forces in front of the pass retreat, Dong Zhuo left the city tower angrily and brought the generals back to the mansion.

In the hall, Dong Zhuo sat high above, looking at Li Ru, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others standing in front of him. He shouted loudly: "You all think of a way to kill Lu Bu. With him in the coalition forces, it is a huge threat to us!"

"Taishi, the villain has a plan to let Lu Bu take the initiative to surrender to the Taishi!"

When Dong Zhuo was at a loss, he suddenly heard someone say this, so he hurriedly raised his head and saw a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheek standing in the center. He asked, "Oh, it's you... what strategy do you have? Tell me quickly!"

The man's surname is Li Su, who was from Jiuyuan, Wuyuan. He was a fellow villager with Lu Bu and his family was also a large family in Jiuyuan County. In his early years, in order to avoid the attacks of the Xianbei people, his family moved to Luoyang. He used money to buy a small official guarding the city gate. When Dong Zhuo led his troops into the capital, he was the first to open the city gate and put Dong Zhuo into Luoyang City.

Because he had the merit of opening the city gate, Dong Zhuo gave him a city gate captain. Dong Zhuo mobilized a large army to station troops at Hulao Pass, and his subordinates were among them, so he followed him. Today, he saw that Lu Bu was under the gate. A trace of bad thoughts arose in his heart. Seeing that Dong Zhuo was frowning, he saw that the opportunity came, so he took the initiative to come and offer advice.

Li Su said: "You reported to the Grand Tutor, Lu Bu and the villain were fellow villagers. When they were young, they let the horse go together, which was considered to be brothers and sisters. The villain was willing to persuade Lu Bu to come and surrender to the Grand Tutor with his perfect tongue..."

"If you can really convince Lu Bu to come and surrender, why am I afraid of the Guandong Alliance? You go now. As long as Lu Bu comes and surrender, I will appoint you as Marquis of Wanhu and be hereditary." Dong Zhuo said happily.

When Li Su heard that Dong Zhuo had given such a big reward, he immediately raised his joy on his face and said hurriedly: "Thank you for the kindness of the Grand Master. However, the villain left empty-handed, afraid that it would not convince Lu Bu..."

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Dong Zhuo's mouth and said to Li Su: "If you need anything, please say bluntly. As long as you can conquer Lu Bu, I will give you the mountains of gold and silver."

"Lu Bu is a man who loves immediate interests. If the Grand Master can prepare a box of gold, silver and jewelry, and promise a high official and generous salary, he will definitely be moved. However, these are all gifts for Lu Bu, and the real treasure can make Lu Bu look at him. I heard that the Grand Master obtained a divine horse in Xiliang, called the 'Red Rabbit', which is the best among horses. Lu Bu learned riding and shooting since he was a child, and his skillful bow and horse skills, and his outstanding martial arts can further demonstrate his might. However, Lu Bu lacks only one divine horse under his seat, and he is also a horse lover. If he can get the gift from the Grand Master's Red Rabbit Horse, he will definitely come and surrender."

After hearing Li Su's words, Dong Zhuo's heart was a little sad. He said slowly: "I gave him Li Su, Jinshan and Yinshan without hesitation, but this Red Rabbit Horse saved me twice in crisis. It was the divine horse I rely on the most. It was the tribute I took from the tributes paid by the people of Dayuan last year. Apart from the Red Rabbit Horse, do you think about what other things Lu Bu likes?"

Li Su said: "Tai Shi, Lu Bu is wearing a bright silver armor. The only thing he lacks is a divine horse under his seat. The gold, silver, wealth and high officials and high salaries are just foundations. If there is no Red Rabbit Horse, it is probably Lu Bu will not come to surrender to the Tai Shi."

"No, the Red Rabbit Horse is my favorite divine horse. How can I give it to someone?" Dong Zhuo suddenly said angrily.
