Until now.
Only then did Yuan Shao and others realize that what Cao Ang said was true, and he was on par with Lu Bu.
Even in the fight just now, Cao Ang still had the slight upper hand. Even though Lu Bu was as strong as a ghost, his Fang Tian Hua Ji was easily deflected by Cao Ang.
What kind of strength is this?
No wonder Dian Wei, who is like a fierce god, said that he could not break a finger of Cao Ang with two hands. Now it seems that this sentence has high credibility.
Under the watchful eyes of both sides on the battlefield.
Lu Bu and Cao Ang were just fighting together. The two were ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong.
In just a short moment, dozens of blows had been exchanged, and the only sound of weapons clashing could be heard on the entire battlefield, which was dizzying.
But now on the high platform of the coalition forces.
The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were whispering.
After they were promoted by Cao Ang as a coalition force, they were naturally qualified to watch the battle from a high platform.
Now watching the two men fighting fiercely, Liu Bei frowned and stared for a long time, unable to tell who had the upper hand. His strength determined his lack of judgment.
"Second brother and third brother, what tricks have you two seen? Who has the upper hand, General Cao or Lu Bu?"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were originally staring at the battlefield with all their concentration, but now they heard their elder brother's inquiry.
I couldn't help but turn my head.
Zhang Fei was the first to answer: "That Lu Bu is so powerful. He is the most powerful person I have ever seen in my life. If I fight with him alone, I will be defeated within a hundred rounds!"
Zhang Fei just finished speaking.
Guan Yu repeatedly echoed: "What the third brother said is true. In my opinion, this Lu Bu still has some strength left. Even if it were me, I would be far from able to defeat him!"
Liu Bei was immediately shocked.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are his sworn brothers. He still knows how powerful these two people are in martial arts.
However, now that both brothers say they cannot defeat Lu Bu, it seems that this man is indeed an unparalleled warrior!
Think of this.
Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help but shift to Cao Ang, who was fighting back and forth with Lu Bu and seemed evenly matched.
I couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"General Cao is really hiding his secrets. He is truly a man of heaven. He is not at a disadvantage in a battle with Lu Bu!"
Liu Bei's words made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei agree, and the two of them kept nodding.
It was just that Zhang Fei looked at it for a long time.
But he murmured with some confusion: "I don't know why, I always feel that General Cao's pistol skills are quite weak. Compared with Lu Bu, he seems a bit weak, but I don't know why he can withstand the attack."
What’s puzzling about Zhang Fei?
Guan Yu smiled casually, stroking his beard while teaching him earnestly.
"Third brother, you don't understand. General Cao is not weak, but illusory."
"It may seem light, but in fact only those who have fought against it will know how powerful it is. This should be General Cao's unique skill, which emphasizes overcoming strength with softness!"
"If he was really unable to wield his spear, then his weapon would have been knocked off by Lu Bu long ago. Why did the two of them fight for so long?"
Guan Yu's words suddenly made Zhang Fei realize.
"I see, the second brother knows more, and the younger brother is short-sighted after all!"
Guan Yu pretended not to care and waved his hand.
But the hand he was stroking his beard couldn't help but speed up a bit, and it was obvious that he was still a little proud.
…
No matter what everyone thinks.
Cao Ang and Lu Bu were chatting and talking.
I took the time to look back.
Seeing that he had distanced himself from the military formation, he made sure that no one would hear what he said next.
Cao Ang then said to Lu Bu: "Brother, I don't know. The reason why my younger brother joined the coalition is actually to break into the coalition."
"It's not that I'm betraying Mr. Dong, nor that I'm abandoning my brother. It's that I'm acting as an internal agent, gathering information, disrupting the plans of the coalition forces, and meeting emergencies in the future."
These words.
Lu Bu was immediately shocked.
Although he had already made conjectures before, when he heard Cao Ang admit it personally, the fact was still beyond his imagination.
But he was still a little confused after all.
"Why do you want to be an internal agent? Why don't you just lead your troops to join us? Is this an order from Duke Dong?"
Lu Bu's name for Cao Ang changed very quickly.
This time he became a good brother again.
Facing Lu Bu's confusion, Cao Ang first waved the spear in his hand, and then unleashed a set of ethereal spear skills.
Then he explained patiently: "Brother, I don't know. When Yuan Shao raised the banner of crusade against Dong Gong, I was in the Guandong area, within the sphere of influence of the coalition forces."
"If I had not responded to the call at that time, Yuan Shao and others would have gathered together to attack me and get rid of me first. To save my life, I could only follow Yuan Shao behind and send a message to the heroes of the world to prove my innocence. "
After saying this, Lu Bu nodded repeatedly.
Makes sense.
Putting himself in his shoes, if he had been in the hinterland of Guandong at that time and faced the siege of everyone, he would have definitely raised a banner to challenge Dong.
Nothing is as important as your own life!
From this point of view, Lu Bu himself expressed understanding, but it was difficult to explain to Dong Zhuo.
…
Lu Bu was about to ask more questions.
Cao Ang continued: "After I raised the banner of crusade, more than 100,000 troops gathered in the entire Guandong area. I knew that I had a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and I couldn't leave the coalition at this time."
In Lu Bu's doubtful eyes.
Cao Ang explained his reasons.
"Right now, the forces on both sides are about the same. If you really want to talk about it, Dong Gong is even slightly less. If he really wants to fight with the coalition forces, it will be a protracted war."
"In the end, no matter whether you win or lose, Dong Gong's originally huge power will be reduced to nothing."
"Therefore, brute force is not enough, only outsmarting you!"
"Rebel, look at the halberd!"
Lu Bu roared angrily, looking extremely violent.
A sharp slash.
Then his face changed again, as if he suddenly realized something, and he kept talking.
"So you plan to sneak into the coalition forces, obtain their military secrets, and disrupt their battle plans, so as to secretly help Dong Gong?"
Cao Ang nodded in agreement.
A "cowardly" expression.
"Brother is indeed very wise. My younger brother has exactly this idea. For a city with tall walls and strong troops, the fastest way is to attack it from the inside. This younger brother is doing this for the sake of Mr. Dong!"
Understood.
Lu Bu now completely understood.
Let’s just say, we are all brothers in life and death, and our friendship is a life-and-death relationship. How can we abandon each other?
It turns out that Brother Cao had other ideas.
It is for the great cause of Dong Gong and the heavy responsibility is shouldered.
…
It's just what Cao Ang said, but Lu Bu couldn't believe it for a while. After all, he hadn't seen many things, and he didn't know whether Cao Ang thought so, so he was a little hesitant after all.
After hesitating for a moment.
Lu Bu still couldn't help but ask: "Since my dear brother said so, do you have any proof?"
Cao Ang heard this question.
The corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly, and a slightly hidden smile appeared on his face.
This is the moment he has been waiting for!
Facing Lu Bu's inquiry, Cao Ang deliberately pretended to be thinking, pretending to be recalling something.
So long.
Cao Angcai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he then said rather mysteriously: "A few days ago, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, was the vanguard of the coalition forces and led thousands of elite troops to fight all the way from Gong County to Yanshi County."
"Just when he was invincible, coming and going freely, he suddenly withdrew his troops. Does my brother know the reason for this?"
If Cao Ang said something else.
Lu Bu is really hard to verify.
But Lu Bu had personally experienced Sun Jian's retreat, so when Cao Ang mentioned it, he became interested.
"Could this be due to my virtuous brother?"
Cao Ang nodded heavily.
He took this matter into his own hands without hesitation, and while thrusting out the spear in his hand, he patted his chest with his left hand.
"The north and south routes are responsible for the food and grass of our army. As Sun Jian is a subordinate of Yuan Shu, his food and grass are fully supplied by Yuan Shu."
"Before the incident, it was I who met Yuan Shu in private and made a bitter confession to him, which provoked the conflict between him and Sun Jian."
"As a result, Yuan Shucai stopped Sun Jian's supply of food and grass, so that the vanguard army was short of food on the front line, and Sun Wentai had to temporarily withdraw his troops and return to the Chinese army camp to ask for food."
"Can this be proven?"
The more Cao Ang said, the bigger the smile on Lu Bu's face became.
When he finished speaking.
This invincible general with the courage of gods and ghosts has already seen flashes of light in his eyes, and his whole person is extremely excited.
Right!
Everything is right!
No wonder Sun Jian would withdraw his troops at that time. It turned out that the army had no food and had to retreat.
And all of this turned out to be Cao Ang's contribution.
Lu Bu suddenly sighed and sighed, he believed it.
"Brother Yu is really talented. If it weren't for your plan, Brother Yu almost suffered another defeat. However, he unintentionally received favor from Brother Xian again!"
Lu Fengxian now regrets it.
I had mistakenly blamed Cao Ang before and almost injured him with Fang Tian's painted halberd. Fortunately, Zixiu Xiandi was quite capable, otherwise I would have been uneasy.
At the same time, he was a little lucky.
Thanks to my belief in Cao Ang's character and my belief that he would not abandon me easily, I was able to have the patience to talk to him.
Otherwise, I really don’t know what’s going on.
…
"Lu Bu, take a shot from me!"
"Little thief, watch me take your head off your neck!"
The two men shouted for a while, and soon they were fighting again. The weapons of both sides were bathed in the sun, and the little bits of silver light reflected made their eyes hurt.
Whether it is Yuan Shao and others from the coalition.
Or Hu Zhen in Yanshi County.
I feel a little numb now.
They had lost count of how many rounds the two men had fought on the battlefield. In short, they never stopped from beginning to end. The two weapons used by the two men were like wind and thunder, which was dazzling.
Of course, for some people who are skilled in martial arts, such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they are not bored at all, but rather enjoy it.
Such a top level fight in the world.
You can't see it everywhere.
After passing this village, there is no such store. You must seize the opportunity to learn more.
Especially General Cao's marksmanship.
It makes him as ethereal as an immortal, as if he has the spiritual energy of an immortal. He seems to have no strength, but in fact he can swing away Lu Bu's Fangtian Painted Halberd, which is really rare in his life.
Many people looked at the silver spear in Cao Ang's hand and thought deeply. It turns out that the top martial arts in the world are not only about powerful force and sinking.
Enlightenment!
Cao Ang had no idea that he had become the top general in the world in the hearts of the generals of both armies and the founder of a certain school.
He was just after one move.
With a look of concern on his face, he told Lu Bu with some serious words: "After my brother returns to Luoyang this time, he must explain something to Duke Dong and let him know my good intentions."
"But I was working as an internal agent for the coalition forces, and he misunderstood me a lot. At that time, I didn't want to please both sides. That would be a bit embarrassing."
Lu Bu nodded cheerfully.
After explaining the details clearly.
He had a sense of trust in his wise brother again. Now Cao Ang had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. If Dong Zhuo knew the inside story, he would definitely not blame him.
When Cao Ang returns in the future.
Thinking of his contribution, Dong Gong will definitely reward him generously. At the moment, he is just a favor, so why not?
Just when he was about to say yes.
But something suddenly occurred to him.
This made Lu Bu hesitate.
After a long while, Lu Bu finally expressed his concerns.
"My dear brother, it's not difficult to speak for you, but the fact that your general killed Hua Xiong at Chenggao Pass really made Duke Dong very angry."
"If you don't explain this matter clearly and remove this thorn in Mr. Dong's heart, it will be difficult to explain other things!"
…
Cao Ang never fights unprepared battles.
Before today's battle.
He has already thought out all the details, including Hua Xiong's question, and he also has a rough draft.
Therefore, when Lu Bu asked him this question, he was asking exactly what was in his heart.
He patted the red rabbit horse under his seat, moved a little to the side, and dodged Lu Bu's halberd.
Cao Ang said meaningfully to Lu Bu while fighting back with his spear.
"If Mr. Dong asks me face to face, then I really can't explain it to him. But if it is my brother who started it, then I can tell you one or two of them."
"oh?"
Lu Bu was a little confused.
Why is it that the killing of Hua Xiong cannot be explained to Mr. Dong, but it can be explained to me?
He didn't speak either.
Just waiting quietly for the next step.
And Cao Ang did not show off, and said in a leisurely tone: "Killing Hua Xiong is actually entirely for the sake of my brother!"
