Chapter 49: The Battle of the Three Great Britain against Lu Bu
Guan Yu warmed the wine and beheaded Hua Xiong, and the five thousand Liangzhou cavalry who followed saw their leader beheaded. Their morale was in chaos, and they rushed back towards Hulao.
This was originally a good opportunity to defeat the enemy, but the princes were all amazed by Guan Yu's astonishing martial arts and could not recover in a hurry. As a result, the good opportunity was missed. The Liangzhou cavalry had already retreated to the pass and sealed the pass tightly.
Hua Xiong instantly killed Yu She and Pan Feng, and Guan Yu instantly killed Hua Xiong. Yuan Shu, who had lost face, started to quarrel with Zhang Fei, who was shouting about how brave his second brother was. They were angry and abusive, which made everyone happy.
The scene ended unhappy again.
Hua Xiong was defeated and died. The defeat was reported to Guo Si and Li Jue, who were in charge at the gate. They were shocked. Hua Xiong was not an ordinary person. Although his official position was not as high as his own, he was deeply favored by Dong Zhuo and followed Dong Zhuo for no less than ten years.
In the 1980s, he was always the first general until Lu Bu arrived, and was changed to the second. However, this does not mean that his favor has declined. In fact, in Dong Zhuo's heart, he was above Lu Bu.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They had advised Hua Xiong not to look down on the princes of Guandong yesterday, but this early in the morning, he privately led his troops to fight in Guan Pass without a word of notice. This also shows that Hua Xiong is holding on to Dong Zhuo's favor.
He had no choice but to write an urgent report and order the horse to return to Luoyang. Hulao was only more than a hundred miles away from Luoyang, and it could be reached in half a day by horse.
The allied forces of the Kwantung princes are 200,000, and the combined troops of Dong Zhuo, Hedong, and Luoyang are also known as 200,000. However, troops and horses are needed to suppress them everywhere. If they are all withdrawn, there will be a rebellion among the people. He is so powerful.
There is not enough kindness and righteousness in the world. Except for Hedong County, the soldiers and people in the other two places are intimidated by his military power, so they live in peace.
A few days ago, Ma Teng, the captain of the Qiang Guard School, also called on the Kwantung Allied Forces to attack Dong Zhuo. The troops came to Sanfu. Dong Zhuo, anxious, quickly sent Niu Fu and 30,000 troops to Chang'an to guard Xijing.
On the other hand, he was thinking about how to mobilize county soldiers from the counties under his command to make up for the gap between Niu Fu and his troops. At least 100,000 infantry and cavalry could be gathered to fight the Kwantung Allied Forces. In his mind, Li Jue and Guo Si had 30,000 soldiers.
The soldiers, the strong barrier, and all the losses, can withstand for two months. At that time, he can calmly deploy his troops and defeat Yuan Shao and others.
Therefore, the dispatch of troops to Hulao has been delayed again and again. It has been a month, and now the army has basically been reorganized.
After receiving an urgent document from Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo was shocked, angry, and sad when he heard that Hua Xiong had died. It was so sad that such a strong general who had followed him for many years was gone.
In fact, Dong Zhuo's current situation is related to one of his characteristics. He is willing to reward his subordinates generously. When he fought with foreign tribes in Xiliang, he usually returned all the spoils to his subordinates, and kept a small part for himself.
Also, he is willing to stand up for his subordinates, cover up, etc.
As for the subsequent beauty trap, she was tragically killed by Lu Bu. It wasn't that he didn't treat Lu Bu favorably, but that Lu Bu was a man who loved beauty but not the country. Diao Chan was more important than anything else.
Hua Xiong died in the battle. Dong Zhuo's people were worried about his death in Hulao, so they hurriedly gathered Li Ru, Lu Bu and others to discuss.
Li Ru took two hurried steps, thought about the situation briefly, and said: "The loss of General Hua Xiong now shows that Yuan Shao, Zhu Kui, Cao Cao and other Kwantung princes should not be underestimated. My father-in-law needs to personally lead the army to Hulao Pass to stabilize the situation."
As for the situation, as for future plans, we still need to act according to the situation."
He paused, clamped his chin, and said with a murderous look on his face: "Yuan Wei, Yuan Feng, one is the Tutor, the other is Sikong, and two of the three elders in the court are his brothers. If there is an internal conspiracy, an affair with Yuan Shao, take advantage of the father-in-law's departure from the capital.
The opportunity will cause trouble and make waves. Deep space is inconvenient and difficult to predict. It is best to eliminate it first, so that the army can be launched by then without any worries."
Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and realized that it made sense. There was still an emperor in the court. If the Yuan brothers and the two court elders wanted to rebel, together with You Jing, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and other three ministers in the capital issued the imperial edict, the generals guarding the city might not be able to do so. Dare to disobey the Holy Order….
After calling out, Zhang Ji was ordered to lead five hundred troops to surround Yuan Wei, and Yuan Feng's family was killed, both old and young. The screams in the mansion filled the night, chilling the hearts of those who heard it.
Immediately, Dong Zhuo ordered his soldiers to cut off the heads of Yuan Kui, Yuan Feng and several other important personnel, wrap them up and take them with him. He also took a hundred thousand infantry and cavalry with him, and marched day and night with Li Ru, Lu Bu, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji. In the evening of that day Then we came to Hulao Pass.
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Bu asked for orders to lead the pass, and asked Zhuo Zi to hold the battle at the pass and watch them defeat the Kwantung Allied Forces who looked down upon them. Dong Zhuo happily agreed and hung up the heads of more than a hundred people including Yuan Wei, Yuan Feng and others. , placed a banner next to it, writing, "The whole family of the Yuan family is here, and everyone who rebels against the Party will end up like this!"
In front of the allied camp, a scout found out about this and was shocked. He quickly rushed back to the camp and reported to Yuan Shao's camp.
Yuan Shao was sleeping peacefully at this time. When he heard the news, he woke up in awe and shouted, "It hurts me!"
Then because his family was killed, he was so angry that he pressed his chest tightly and fainted. It took him a long time to regain his breath.
At this time, the princes from all walks of life who had heard the news had already gathered in Yuan Shao's commander's tent and repeatedly expressed their condolences.
On the side, Yuan Shu covered his face with his sleeves and was also crying. He shouted to Yuan Shao: "Brother, Thief Dong killed the uncle's family and his father was also killed. We must kill the Dong family to avenge this blood revenge."
"Dong Zhuo! If I don't cut you into pieces, it's hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" Yuan Shao's eyes turned red, and he shouted with a ferocious face: "Open the camp, the whole army is dispatched, and I swear to fight against the traitor Dong." It’s over.”
Soldiers and horses from all walks of life came out together and lined up less than a mile away from Lu Bu to wait for the enemy. Eighteen princes, with Yuan Shao as their loyalties, rode their horses to the front of the formation.
In front of the opponent's formation, I saw a young warrior. He wore a purple gold crown with three prongs on his head, a Xichuan red brocade hundred-flower robe on his body, a beast-faced head-swallowing chain armor, and an exquisite lion belt on his waist. His bow and arrows were tilted. Hanging by his side, holding a halberd painted by Xu Fangtian, sitting down and neighing a red rabbit horse with his whole body covered in fiery red, this person is the "Flying General" Lu Bu who has become famous recently!
Yuan Shao's eyes were red and he turned around and shouted: "Who dares to fight Lu Bu?"
"No!" Cao Cao shouted at the side. He must have been confused when he saw Yuan Shao. Lu Bu was more brave than Hua Xiong. How could he send his generals to challenge him and bring humiliation to himself? He explained: "Currently, the national thieves must be eliminated. First, Lu Bu was brave and sent three or four generals to kill him directly. Personal details should be left behind."
Cao Cao wanted to fight in groups, which was agreed by most of the princes. In the previous battle with Hua Xiong, he lost a lot of good players, and he also succeeded in winning a little-known Guan Yu. This pair of princes who always have high standards , it’s a huge loss of face, and I don’t want to use Guan Yu anymore unless I have to.
At this time, Yuan Shao's number one younger brother, the governor of Hanoi, Wang Kuang, said: "I have a famous general in Hanoi, Fang Yue, who can go to fight." After that, three more princes jumped out and said one after another: "I have a general, Mu Shun, who can go to fight Lu Bu."
"Wu Anguo in Beihai also went to war against Lu Bu"
"Wait a minute, I, Gongsun Zan, also want to have a fight with Lu Bu and seize the red rabbit horse as his own mount..." The last person was Gongsun Zan, the governor of Beiping, Youzhou. He just had two red rabbit horses under Lu Bu's crotch. His eyes were shining, and he wanted to get it, but he knew that if he went directly to the battlefield alone, there would be death or life. But if four people fought together, they would definitely be able to kill Lu Bu. That was because he was participating in the battle as a prince on his side, and the red rabbit horse as a trophy would definitely belong to him. he.
Now that Yuan Shao is getting more angry, he has long ignored Gongsun Zan's little plan. As long as he can kill Lu Bu, capture Hulao, capture Dong Zhuo and light the sky lantern, this is what he wants to do. Gongsun Zan wants to have a hand in it, and he is happy.
Before it was too late, he replied: "Whoever kills Lu Bu, the red rabbit and horse will belong to him."
After hearing this, the four people went off together. Gongsun Zan came to the rear, and Fang Yue, Mu Shun, and Wu Angu charged first.
Opposite Hulao was closed, Dong Zhuo saw the Kwantung Army brazenly fighting in groups, facing his adopted son Lu Bu. He couldn't help but worry: "Fengxian is alone, and Yuan Tiequan sent three people, fearing that they will not be defeated. Guo Si, Li Jue, Zhang Ji,
The three of you go down to the pass and hold the battle...
After saying this, he saw Lu Bu under the pass and the Kwantung Army, and saw four generals coming out to fight against him. He couldn't help shouting: "Haha, the princes really think highly of me, Lu Bu. Four people beat me alone. It's good and interesting, but four people are just like me."
Is that enough? Let’s see how I can wipe out all the trash like you.”
Before he finished speaking, the red rabbit horse had already galloped out and charged towards the four people without any fear.
Fang Yue and Mu Shun both used silver spears and rushed to the front. They looked at each other and understood each other. They laughed secretly at Lu Bu. Maybe he can't compete with you in a single fight, but with four of you together, you are still so arrogant. It's too much.
So arrogant.
One left and one right, hold the gun with both hands, wait for Lu Bu to get close, and attack him from a flank.
"Lu Bu among men, Red Rabbit among horses." Isn't it a lie? The momentum that broke out in that moment caught Fang Yue and Mu Shun who were rushing at the front by surprise. They stabbed the air with their spears, and they were shocked.
A cold electric shock came from behind.
Lu Bu, who was riding on the red rabbit, stood upright, turned around and stabbed Fang Tian with his backhand, swung Fang Tian's painted halberd, stabbed Fang Yue to death and fell off the horse. With his other hand, he pulled the horse's rein tightly, causing the red rabbit horse to raise its hooves.
A long hiss.
"law..."
The sound of frightened horses frightened the horses of Wu Anguo and Gongsun Zan, who were coming from behind, and drove them off course.
The moment the red rabbit raised its hoof, its legs stood upright like an ape. Lu Bu pulled the reins of the horse again and turned around. The reins of the two hind horses of the red rabbit swung back like a human and attacked Shun Gai.
The horse's hooves stepped down heavily, shaking up layers of smoke. In the meantime, Lu Bu shook the sky-painted halberd in his hand again, and made a black dragon move out of the water. The black halberd head sank into the back of Mu Shun, who was still astonished by Lu Bu's riding skills, and threw the blade with it.
It gave me a chill in my heart.
With a fierce lift of both hands, Fang Tian's painted halberd rose up in response. Mu Shun's entire body hung on the head of the halberd, dripping with blood and making no sound.
Lu Bu sneered: "Go." He waved violently and threw the body towards Wu Anguo.
