After Hua Xiong died, Dong Zhuo quickly received the news and then mobilized an army of 200,000.
They were led by Li Jue and Guo Si all the way to guard Sishui Pass.
The other group was led by Dong Zhuo himself and stationed at Hulao Pass.
Dong Zhuo's adopted son Lu Bu led an army of 30,000 troops and was stationed in the military camp in front of Hulao Pass.
After learning about the movements of the Xiliang army, Yuan Shao also detached a group of troops and went to Hulao Pass to call for formation.
Originally, this group of people was composed of Gongsun Zan and other eight princes.
But because of Yang Ling, Cao Cao had a lot of troops, and because Dian Wei killed Hua Xiong before.
So Yuan Shao ordered Cao Cao to lead eight princes including Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, and Bao Xin to attack Hulao Pass!
…
As soon as the coalition forces arrived at Hulao Pass, they saw a group of people forming formation below the pass.
I saw a general wearing fine armor and holding a Fangtian painted halberd, sitting on a red rabbit horse, carrying an extraordinary figure!
It's the famous Lu Bu!
Seeing the coalition forces arriving, Lu Bu clapped his horse and stepped forward, shouting sternly,
"I am Lu Fengxian, who among you dares to come forward and fight!"
The sound was like thunder, which shocked all the coalition soldiers and made them restless!
"Lü Bu, don't be so arrogant, I, Fang Yue, have come to meet you!"
A general rushed out, it was Hanoi's famous general Fang Yue.
However, Fang Yue's strength was far inferior to that of Lu Bu. After only a few rounds, Lu Bu stabbed him under the horse with a halberd!
Seeing Lu Bu being so heroic, the entire coalition army was shocked!
Lu Bu took this opportunity, raised his spear and leaped on his horse, and led the Xiliang army to charge over!
The coalition forces originally had the advantage, but they still wanted to resist Lu Bu!
However, after Mu Shun, a general under Zhang Yang, the Shangdang prefect, was stabbed to death by Lu Bu, and Wu Anguo, a general under Kong Rong, the Beihai prefect, had his arm cut off by Lu Bu, the morale of the coalition forces plummeted.
I also saw Lu Bu rushing left and right on the battlefield, and there was no enemy anywhere he went!
The coalition forces were immediately defeated and retreated all the way to the rear.
It was not until thirty miles away from Hulao Pass that Cao Cao and others reorganized their troops and discussed military affairs together.
"I didn't expect this Lu Bu to be so powerful!"
Kong Rong said with lingering fear.
Just now Lu Bu came straight towards him. If Wu Anguo hadn't fought tooth and nail to protect him and paid the price with his arm, Kong Rong would have been dead by now.
"Lu Bu is so brave and invincible, what should we do?"
"Why don't we go back to Alliance Leader Yuan and let's discuss a solution together?"
The other princes spoke up.
Cao Cao was silent and frowned.
He had just led an army alone and suffered such a huge defeat, and he was really unwilling to do so.
Xiahou Dun guessed Cao Cao's thoughts, stepped forward and whispered,
"Lord, you might as well ask Mr. Yang if he has any ideas?"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
Yes, I still have the talent Yang Ling.
"Everyone, please be patient. I'll be back when I go!"
Cao Cao left in a hurry and ran towards the baggage camp, leaving the confused Kong Rong and others where they were.
Yang Ling had long known that the coalition forces were no match for Lu Bu, so he made preparations in advance.
When the coalition army was defeated, he called Dian Wei and Zhao Yun to flee.
Now that he had settled down, Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and rested against the carriage.
As expected of Lu Bu among men and the red rabbit among horses, Fang Tian draws a halberd to stab his adoptive father!
This Lu Bu is really powerful!
With his own strength, he defeated the coalition forces in pieces!
At this moment, Cao Cao came over. When he saw Yang Ling's figure, he was overjoyed.
"gentlemen!"
Yang Ling looked up and saw Cao Cao, and immediately understood that he was here to help him deal with Lu Bu.
"Mr. Cao, please sit down."
Yang Ling moved the sacks containing grain to make room for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao didn't mind it and sat down.
Before he could speak, Yang Ling smiled and said,
"Although Lu Bu is mighty, he is not invincible. I have a plan that can defeat Lu Bu!"
Cao Cao quickly asked,
"Sir, what's your plan?!"
Yang Ling pursed his lips at Dian Wei.
Cao Cao was startled, then smiled bitterly and said,
"Sir, although the warrior Dian Wei is powerful, he may not be able to defeat Lu Bu."
"That's right, but also my third brother Zhao Yun."
Yang Ling smiled and waved to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun stepped forward and saluted Cao Cao.
"I've seen Mr. Cao!"
The drinking session with Gongsun Zan only happened a few days ago, so Cao Cao naturally knew Zhao Yun's origins.
But he didn't expect that Zhao Yun suddenly changed and became Yang Ling's sworn brother.
Looking at Zhao Yun, who had a delicate appearance and even a hint of elegance, Cao Cao couldn't laugh or cry, and said patiently,
"Sir, Lu Bu is so powerful that he cannot win with more people."
"Don't worry, my third brother Zhao Yun is not inferior to my second brother Dian Wei! The two of them will fight against Lu Bu side by side, and they will never let him become arrogant!"
Yang Ling said confidently,
"When Lu Bu is defeated, Duke Cao can take the opportunity to cover up and kill him!"
Although Yang Ling said this, Cao Cao was still a little skeptical.
But there was no other way at the moment. He pondered for a moment and could only sigh,
"Then just follow what sir said!"
Cao Cao found Kong Rong and others again and reiterated Yang Ling's plan, even if it met with opposition!
"Although the warrior Dian Wei has killed Hua Xiong before, this Lu Bu is extraordinary!"
"Yes, this man is brave enough to win three armies. How can he win with more people?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"I have made up my mind, just follow me!"
Cao Cao insisted.
In desperation, everyone had to obey orders.
After the coalition forces were reorganized, they marched towards Hulao Pass again under the leadership of Cao Cao.
…
In Hulao Pass.
The pot-bellied Dong Zhuo sat high in the hall and laughed and said,
"My son Fengxian is really the best in the world. These coalition forces are like chickens and dogs in front of you, and they are vulnerable!"
Lu Bu in the audience smiled proudly and pretended to be humble,
"The adoptive father is too praised. In the final analysis, the child still relies on the adoptive father's reputation!"
Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.
Dong Zhuo immediately beamed,
"My son, my adoptive father will not treat you badly. You will be greatly rewarded if you turn around!"
Hearing this, Lu Bu was even more delighted.
In the lobby, there is a group of loving fathers and filial sons, enjoying themselves harmoniously.
However, at this moment, a messenger broke in and said nervously,
"Prime Minister, something bad happened. The coalition forces came to kill us again!"
"Why panic!"
Lu Bu scolded and sneered,
"These defeated generals dare to come back. They are really impatient! Foster father, the child will come as soon as he goes!"
"Okay, I'll leave this to you."
Dong Zhuo nodded heavily.
Everyone in the Xiliang army, including Dong Zhuo, looked relaxed and did not worry about it at all.
After all, Lu Bu had just defeated the coalition forces.
…
Hulao is closed.
The door slowly opened, and Lu Bu led a group of people and rushed out.
Looking at the coalition forces not far away, he couldn't help laughing.
"You, my subordinates, have been defeated and escaped by chance. If you still don't know whether to live or die, come here to die!"
