Chapter 168: Hua Xiong’s Defeat and Forced to Hulao
"Brother, lend me your horse!" Wei Yan rushed into the stronghold and asked Liu Bei for a horse. Liu Bei nodded and asked the colonel to bring his horse to Wei Yan, but Liu Bei's horse was not as good as Wei Yan's. Yuan Shao
The others looked at me and frowned, but no one took the initiative to support me.
"How can such a hero ride a bad horse!" Cao Cao was more generous. He smiled and said: "Go and get my claw, Huang Feidian, and lend it to the brave warriors of Wei, and then bring me a good sword!"
"Yes!" A small school boy went immediately. After a while, Sergeant Cao came back carrying a fifty-pound sword and leading a tall horse.
"Thank you, Mr. Cao! I'll go and have a showdown with Hua Xiong right now!" Wei Yan took the sword and war horse brought by Sergeant Cao and tried it on. He was very good at it. However, the knife he originally used was full of gaps and the war horse was full of holes.
He was also overwhelmed. Now that he had obtained such a magical weapon, Wei Yan believed that Hua Xiong was no longer his opponent.
"Wei Zhuang, wait!" Cao Cao said with a smile: "It's getting late now, you have to let Hua Xiong rest. If Hua Xiong comes again tomorrow, Wei Xiong can kill him!"
Looking at the sky, it turned out that the sun was setting on the west mountain. Wei Yan bowed and said: "In that case, let's follow Cao Gong's words!"
All the princes returned to their camps. Cao Cao ordered Cao Hong and Cao Ren to bring wine, meat, clothes and armor, and secretly came to Liu Bei's camp. They talked with Liu Bei for half the night. Cao Cao admired this humble clan member.
The next day, Hua Xiong came to challenge again, and Wei Yan came out on flying horse. Seeing Wei Yan's dramatic change in momentum, Hua Xiong could not help but marvel. However, this cannot be blamed on Hua Xiong. Yesterday's Wei Yan, a broken horse, a broken sword, and ten levels of martial arts
Being able to perform at 70% is already very difficult. Now with the guy Cao Cao gave him, he can perform at the 12th level with ten levels of martial arts. How can this momentum remain unchanged? Of course, it's not that Liu Bei doesn't want to give Wei Yan good things, it's just that Liu Bei is too
I can’t afford it if I’m poor! It’s not easy to get sponsorship these days!
"Watch the sword!" Wei Yan and Hua Xiong were also acquaintances. When he saw Wei Yan going to fight, Hua Xiong killed him without saying a word.
Yesterday, we met our opponent and met a good talent, but today it was Wei Yan who defeated Hua Xiong. You know, Wei Yan's martial arts was originally better than Hua Xiong's, but Hua Xiong relied on his horse's sharpness and sharpness to stabilize Wei Yan. Now Wei Yan has changed
Guy, once his skills are revealed, Hua Xiong will be pitiful.
After fighting for more than a hundred years, Wei Yan slashed Hua Xiong's arm with a knife. Hua Xiong was shocked and retreated, but Wei Yan pursued him again. Hua Xiong was defeated at Sishui Pass, and Hu Zhen closed the door and fired at random for a while before he shot Wei Yan back. In order to commend him,
Wei Yan was brave, and Yuan Shao came forward to reward Liu Bei with fifty high-quality war horses, some weapons and armor. As for Cao Cao's yellow-clawed flying lightning, although Wei Yan was reluctant to part with it, he still returned it.
At night, Yuan Shao took advantage of Hua Xiong's unpreparedness and led all the princes to attack Sishui Pass. Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen were unable to resist, so they ordered a retreat and abandoned Sishui Pass. As a result, the allied forces of the princes forced Hulao Pass. As for Liu Zhang,
, he also followed the princes and sent troops to Hulao Pass.
"The Champion Marquis is indeed here!" Hua Xiong had already told Dong Zhuo the news about Liu Zhang. Standing at the gate, he looked at Liu Zhang's camp, which was neat and quiet. Dong Zhuo sighed: "The Champion Marquis leads the troops and is still so calm."
"Please come out and answer Dong Zhongying!" Just as Dong Zhuo stood at Sishui Pass and sighed, Liu Zhang's army rushed out of a small school and shouted at the pass.
"Let's go! Let's see what the champion wants to say!" For Liu Zhang, his former boss, Dong Zhuo couldn't feel the slightest disrespect in his heart. It wasn't exactly fear, but a trace of respect.
"Zhong Ying, are you okay?" At Hulao Pass, Liu Zhang and Zhao Yun and five others met with Dong Zhuo. Next to Dong Zhuo were Lu Bu and Hua Xiong.
"Champion, long time no see!" Dong Zhuo bowed and saluted. Although Liu Zhang was only a young man in his early twenties, and Dong Zhuo was an old man who was nearly sixty years old, no one felt inappropriate when Dong Zhuo saluted Liu Zhang.
"Yes! We haven't seen each other for several years, and Zhong Ying is already the prime minister! God's will brings trouble!" Liu Zhang shook his head and sighed. Who knew that his young face, showing heavy vicissitudes of life, was so uncoordinated.
When Dong Zhuo saw this, he smiled and said: "Marquis Champion, this is the end of the greetings! Tell us your reason for coming!"
"Does Zhong Ying really not know the reason for my coming?" Liu Zhang asked rhetorically.
"Marquis Champion, you are just here to pick up Queen Mother He. No one will believe this! Do you think I will believe it?" Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Zhang with a stern look, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"This is true, you can't help but believe it!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Hand over Queen Mother He and her party, and I will return your family to you!"
"This is impossible!" Dong Zhuo sneered: "Who knows if you will withdraw your troops after getting the Queen Mother He and others! Even if you do, if you send Liu Bian to Chengdu and let him succeed as emperor, my efforts will not be in vain.
Already?"
"If you have Yi Yin's ambition, it's okay. If you don't have Yi Yin's ambition, it's usurpation." Liu Zhang smiled and asked, "Zhong Ying, do you have Yi Yin's ambition?"
"This...I..." Dong Zhuo was speechless, not knowing what to say.
"You don't need to explain to me!" Liu Zhang waved his hand and said, "You also know my purpose. If you let me go, I will retreat! Otherwise, I will have to turn against you!"
"Marquis Champion, do you really want to go against me?" Dong Zhuo said fiercely: "Aren't you afraid that I will be harmful to Queen Mother He?"
Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "I have already said that you can do whatever you want! But I will do what you do to your wife and children ten times. By the way! Li Ru's son and your son are both with me.
In their hands, how about I let them serve as ten permanent servants?"
"Despicable!" Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and said, "The mighty champion actually threatened me with hostages. Aren't you afraid of the ridicule of the world?"
"The opinions of the people in the world are up to me and not yours!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I will give you one last warning. Send the emperor's wife out quickly, otherwise, even the most powerful general in the world, Lu Bu, will not be able to save your life!"
"The most powerful general in the world?" Everyone looked at Lu Bu.
"Alas!" Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed: "This is the first time that eldest brother has given such high praise to someone, but it's a pity that he is a slave with a third surname!"
"You..." Lu Bu was furious. He was very happy when he heard Liu Zhang's praise, but he was not so happy when he heard Zhang Fei's words.
"Fengxian!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand to stop Lu Bu and said: "The champion praises you so much, so naturally some people will not accept it. You must work hard in the future and don't let the champion down!"
"Yes!" Lu Bu was very proud and glanced at Zhang Fei provocatively. Zhang Fei was about to fight with his snake spear.
"Yide, that's enough!" Liu Zhang stopped Zhang Fei because he didn't want to be the spear of the eighteen princes.
Dong Zhuo and Liu Zhang returned to their camps respectively. The eighteen princes thought they would fight, but nothing happened. This made the eighteen princes feel deeply disappointed. However, the next day, they had no time to be disappointed.
Early the next morning, Yuan Shao gathered all the princes and had just sat down when he saw the small school rushing into the Chinese army's tent and saying: "Information to the leader of the alliance, Lu Bu challenges outside the camp!"
"How is this Lu Bu's martial arts?" The princes only knew that Lu Bu killed Ding Jianyang and defected to Dong Zhuo, but they didn't know what Lu Bu was capable of.
Cao Cao laughed and said: "Lü Bu is the most powerful general under Dong Zhuo's command. He is brave and unstoppable! In the past, Dong Zhuo used 20,000 cavalry, but he was defeated with 3,000 soldiers!"
"So, he is more powerful than Hua Xiong?" Gongsun Zan said with a smile: "Mengde, it's hard to live up to his reputation. Are you being alarmist?"
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Bo Gui, you may not know! Back then, I had a close relationship with the champion Liu Zhang, and we used to evaluate the world's military generals. The champion once said that Lu Bu is Xiang Yu's rebirth, and he is really the best general in the world!"
"The most powerful general in the world? What a shameless statement! How can a family of slaves be measured?" Yuan Shao said disdainfully: "Give me the order to assemble the army and go to war!"
Yuan Shao led all the princes out of the camp to fight against Lu Bu. He saw Lu Bu coming out: wearing a purple gold crown with three prongs on his head, a Xichuan red brocade hundred-flower robe on his body, a chain armor with an animal face and a swallowing head, and an exquisite lion belt on his waist. He carried a bow and arrows with him.
, holding a painted halberd, sitting down with a red rabbit and a horse neighing in the wind: it is indeed "Lu Bu among men, and a red rabbit among horses"!
Seeing how powerful Lu Bu was, Yuan Shao felt even more unhappy. He shouted: "Who dares to fight!"
A general rushed out from behind Wang Kuang. Wang Kuang smiled and said: "This is Fang Yue, the famous general in Hanoi!"
Yuan Shao smiled and nodded, but before he could react, the smile froze on his face. It turned out that Lu Bu stabbed Fang Yue under the horse as soon as Fang Yue and Lu Bu crossed paths. Yuan Shao said angrily: "Lü Bu is so arrogant, and
Who dares to fight?"
All the princes looked at each other, and no one wanted to send their generals to die. Mu Shun, the general of Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, saw that everyone was so cowed, and couldn't help but said angrily: "You are asking for orders for the country, how can you be afraid of death!"
After saying this, Mu Shun raised his spear and went to fight. Lu Bu lightly waved his halberd and beheaded Mu Shun off his horse.
Mu Shun's death made all the princes even more afraid. At this time, behind Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, there was a general who could not bear to look at him. He held two hammers and pounced on Lu Bu.
"Ding Dang" the general passed by Lu Bu and actually blocked Lu Bu's halberd. Lu Bu asked with a smile: "If you can block my halberd, you are qualified to be named! Who is the coming general?"
"I am Wu Anguo under the command of Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai!" Wu Anguo smashed his hammers with both hands and said, "I'm here to kill you!"
"Humph! What a shame!" Lu Bu sneered, "Since you want to kill me, it depends on your ability!"
Lu Bu waved the halberd, and Wu Anguo raised his hammer to meet it. The hammers and halberds met, and Wu Anguo suddenly felt the weight of the two hammers. He suddenly discovered that Lu Bu was still holding the halberd with one hand! Wu Anguo felt deeply ashamed, and he seemed to be crazy.
, one blow after another, getting harder and harder. After playing for a long time, Lu Bu felt a little bored and slashed Wu Anguo's wrist with his halberd.
Wu An's soldiers abandoned their hammers and fled. When Yuan Shao saw this, he immediately sent his troops to the top. Tens of thousands of troops arrived and finally rescued Wu An. Unfortunately, Wu An was a useless man since then. However, because the troops of the princes were too large
There were too many, so Lü Bu had to retreat first. Dong Zhuo knew that Lü Bu had killed two generals of the princes in a row, so he was overjoyed and made Lü Bu a Marquis of Wen. He would give another reward after the war was over.
