Chapter 60 Lu Bu calls for formation, Zhang Fei takes action
Liu Bei smiled, hiding the embarrassment on his face. He was slightly depressed inside, but he had nothing to say.
"In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Cao."
If someone gives you an official position, do you have any other choice?
Facing Cao Cao's canonization, Liu Bei was depressed but didn't say much. After all, it was better than nothing. The three of them were hindered everywhere because they had no official positions.
Cao Cao continued to smile, everything was going as planned by the military advisor.
"Today, exchanging three people is more than just this."
Liu, Guan, and Zhang looked puzzled. It turned out that they were not rewarded for their work, and something happened after that.
"Mengde, I still have a big gift to give to the three of you!"
Hearing Cao Cao's words, the three of them became even more confused. Could it be that they had really made a mistake and that Cao Cao really didn't want any conditions from them?
Liu Bei raised the wine glass on the table, remembered that it was empty, put it down again, and said with a smile: "What kind of gift is this? Please speak frankly, Mr. Cao."
Looking at Liu Bei's eyes, Cao Cao showed a smile. Liu Bei was indeed fooled, so Cao Cao said the words he had prepared long ago.
"Tomorrow, Lu Bu will definitely come up to call for battle in front of Hulao Pass. I have a fierce general named Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. I believe you all know it. I won't let that Zilong go into battle tomorrow."
"When the time comes, no one in the alliance of princes will be Lu Bu's enemy. When the time comes, you all go into battle and capture Lu Bu. It will be a great achievement!"
"I will give this great gift to you!"
Liu Bei's eyes flickered, and he looked slightly displeased for a moment when he heard Zhao Yun. Then he smiled calmly and said, "Lu Bu is so brave. Mr. Cao, do you know that we are his opponents?"
Cao Cao laughed and said nonchalantly: "Of course I don't know. If there was no one at the time, I would naturally send generals to fight. If there were people to fight, I would naturally not steal your limelight."
Liu Bei bowed slightly and smiled lightly and said: "In this case, Xuande would like to thank Duke Cao first. If nothing happens, we will leave now."
Seeing Liu Bei who was anxious to leave, Cao Cao personally raised the curtain for them and said: "Everyone, go slowly."
Looking at the three people leaving, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask: "Military advisor, aren't you afraid of them leaving?"
Zhao Feng showed a touch of confidence and said: "My lord, I have underestimated Liu Bei's ambition. This is an excellent opportunity for him to soar into the sky. With this great gift, even if we don't tell them, they will definitely go to war tomorrow!"
"
There was a strange look in Cao Cao's eyes, "Then Liu Bei actually has such ambitions?"
For the sake of fame and fortune, even a peerless general like Lu Bu would not hesitate to fight?
Zhao Feng said lightly: "His ambition is far from that."
How could the dignified Uncle Liu have no ambition? If there had been no ambition throughout the ages, who could have claimed the title of emperor?
If Liu Bei, who calls himself Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, has no ambition, how can he take away one point from the three points of the world?
After hearing Zhao Feng's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but be slightly shocked. Is this military vision? Just by speculating for a period of time, he could tell what this person was thinking.
Although he has long known that the military has a keen eye for discerning people, what happened today was really shocking.
The next day, outside Hulao Pass, drums and trumpets were beaten early in the morning, and the sound from among them instantly woke up the Allied troops.
"Lu Bu dares anyone to fight again!"
The previous battle with Zhao Yun was just two confrontations, which made him remember it deeply. His failure to defeat him made Lu Bu feel knotted in his heart.
At the same time, he has not forgotten what happened to Zhang Liao. Today, without Xu Rong standing by to stop him, he went out early to call for battle!
This time, he will defeat Zhao Yun from the front!
After calling the formation for a while, no one among the princes came out to fight. Lu Bu shouted again: "No one among the eighteen noble princes came out to fight. It's really ridiculous!"
At the same time, among the alliance of princes, they naturally heard Lu Bu calling for formation outside, and countless people started talking about it.
Looking at the silent crowd, Yuan Shao said in a deep voice: "Lu Bu actually came out of seclusion to call for battle. Is there any of you willing to go and fight?"
Countless people fell silent. Lu Bu is a peerless general. Who dares to fight?
At the same time, many people's eyes flickered. Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Jun a few days ago. Maybe Lu Bu was just in vain?
"Alliance leader, I am willing to go and fight!" A general stood up and said.
This man was a general under Liu Dai's command. He had some self-preservation of martial arts, but his martial arts were actually mediocre.
Zhao Feng knew the ending at a glance, so he closed his eyes again. He was just an unknown fish, and he would die within a moment.
At this time, there is still a miscellaneous fish who is willing to step forward and die. Hua Xiong can't defeat him, so he still tries to defeat Lu Bu?
Yuan Shao showed a smile and said: "Okay, let me warm the wine for General Liu Tu!"
After Liu Tu drank, he rode away on horseback. Sure enough, a moment later, the messenger came with news.
"Reporting to the alliance leader, General Liu Tu was cut off from his horse in less than one battle!"
At this moment, the alliance of princes fell silent for an instant.
"Haha, from what I have seen, these eighteen princes are probably not a joke!"
Lu Bu's arrogant voice continued to be heard in front of the formation, and the eighteen princes present looked at each other and fell silent.
Most of the eyes were on Cao Cao's side. Cao Cao's army repelled Lu Bu last time. There must be capable people on Cao Cao's side who can fight Lu Bu.
Zhao Feng smiled calmly. Under his instruction, Zhao Yun naturally would not go into battle and would wait quietly on the side.
"Military advisor?" Cao Cao looked at him, and then looked at Liu, Guan, and Zhang who were calm and composed in the corner.
Zhao Feng waved his hand.
"My lord, don't be impatient, just wait."
Hearing Zhao Feng speak, Cao Cao instantly felt a lot more at ease. He looked quietly towards the field, still looking at Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
Yuan Shao, who was in the first place, looked at the silent crowd and said in a deep voice: "Who is willing to fight against Lu Bu?"
The scene was extremely quiet, Liu Bei sat calmly in the scene, and Guan Yu closed his eyes behind him to relax.
Looking at the two people indifferently, Zhang Fei couldn't hold his breath and was about to take a step forward, but Liu Bei grabbed Zhang Fei's arm in an instant.
"Third brother, wait a moment!"
The longer you wait, the more attention will be paid to them when they take the field. Now is not the best time!
The dark-faced Zhang Fei took out a breath and said in a low voice: "Damn it, it really makes me angry. How can those slaves with three surnames be so arrogant!"
Liu Bei ignored him and still waited quietly.
Looking at the silent princes, Yuan Shao asked again: "Is there anyone willing to fight for our army, Lu Bu?"
Yuan Shao, who spoke this time, looked towards Cao Cao.
Now I am afraid that Cao Cao is the only one in the alliance who can fight against Lu Bu.
Everyone looked at Yuan Shao and couldn't help but look towards Cao Cao. They naturally remembered the brave young general under Cao Cao who killed Hua Xiong.
Yuan Shao smiled calmly: "I wonder if Brother Meng De can send troops to fight?"
At this time, Liu Bei knew that now was the best time. At the same time, he grabbed Zhang Fei's arm and quietly let go.
Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows and instantly understood what Liu Bei meant.
"Zhang Yide of Yan is willing to fight for Duke Cao!"
