But he said that Hua Xiong's army was defeated and reported to the pass. Li Su hurriedly wrote an emergency document to inform Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was on the march when he heard the news and hurriedly gathered Li Ru, Lu Bu and others to discuss.
Li Rudao said, "Now that we have lost General Hua Xiong, the bandits are powerful. Please lead the army personally, and divide it up to suppress the enemy."
Zhuo Ranqi said that the troops came in two groups: one group ordered Li Jue and Guo Si to lead 50,000 troops to hold Sishui Pass and not fight. Zhuo Zi sent 250,000 men to guard Hulao Pass with Li Ru, Lu Bu, Fan Chou and others.
When the troops and horses arrived at the pass, Zhuo ordered Lu Bu to lead 50,000 troops and go to the pass to garrison the stronghold. Zhuo Zi camped at the pass.
Meteor Horse heard about it and reported to Yuan Shao's stronghold. Yuan Shao gathered everyone to discuss.
Cao Cao offered a plan, "Dong Zhuo stationed his troops in Hulao and intercepted the middle road of the princes. Now he can draw half of his troops to meet the enemy."
Yuan Shaoran's plan was to divide eight princes, Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zan, to go to Hulao Pass to meet the enemy. Cao Cao led troops to meet the enemy.
After the discussion was decided, the eight princes came out together. On the way, they met Lu Bu and ten thousand Bingzhou cavalry, who galloped to meet him.
Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, led the troops to arrive first. General Wang Kuang lined up his horses in formation, and when he looked under the horse gate, he saw Lu Bu coming out of the formation. Wearing a purple gold crown with three-pronged hair, a Xichuan red brocade hundred-flower robe on the body, an animal-faced head-swallowing chain armor, and an exquisite lion belt tied around the waist. With his bow and arrows at his side, and his halberd in hand, he sat down and neighed the red rabbit and horse: indeed, "Lu Bu is among men, and the red rabbit is among horses"!
Wang Kuang was secretly surprised when he saw this, and turned around and asked, "Who dares to fight?".
A general behind him rode out with his gun drawn. Wang Kuangkuang looked at it and saw that it was Fang Yue, a famous general in Hanoi.
When Lu Bu saw someone coming to die, he was very excited and rode up to meet him.
The two horses crossed each other, but less than five seconds later, Fang Yue was stabbed under the horse by Lu Bu with a halberd, and he rushed towards him with his halberd raised.
Wei Xu, Song Xian and others led the Bingzhou army and followed them all the way to kill. Wang Kuang's army was defeated and scattered. Lu Dongxi rushed to kill, as if entering a deserted place. Fortunately, both Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi's armies arrived to rescue Wang Kuang, and Lu Bu retreated.
The three princes each lost some men and horses and retreated thirty miles to the stronghold. Then all the troops and horses from the five routes arrived and discussed together, saying that Lu Bu was a hero and unbeatable.
While he was thinking about it, a report came from the primary school: "Lü Bu wants to fight." The eight princes mounted their horses together. The army was divided into eight teams and deployed in Gaogang. Looking at Lu Bu's army and horses in the distance, embroidering flags and waving swords, they came to charge first. It was really arrogant.
Mu Shun, a general under Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, could not bear it at that time. He rode out to fight with his spear, but Lü Bu stabbed his horse with a halberd. All the princes were shocked.
Beihai Prefect Kong Rong's general Wu Anguo made the hammer fly out. Lu Bu waved his halberd and patted his horse to greet him. After more than ten rounds of fighting, An Guo's wrist was cut off with a halberd, he dropped the hammer on the ground and walked away. The Eighth Route Army soldiers came out to rescue Wu Anguo. After a melee, Lu Bu retreated.
The princes returned to the stronghold to discuss, and Cao Cao also arrived with his troops. Everyone said that Lu Bu was invincible and could not be matched by anyone, so he was very timid in his heart. Cao Cao didn't believe it. I've seen Lu Bu before. He's not that powerful. It must be that your men are not good at martial arts. It seems that it depends on my performance. I strongly requested to raise troops together tomorrow morning to meet Lu Bu. Everyone could not resist Cao Cao, so they had to agree.
On the third day, all the nine princes came out and lined up, waiting for Lu Bu's arrival.
After a while, Lu Bu arrived with 50,000 soldiers and horses from Bingzhou. The original 10,000 soldiers and horses also arrived under the leadership of Gao Shun.
When Lu Bu saw the princes' soldiers and horses waiting in formation for a long time, his hands were a little itchy, and Fang Tian drew his halberd and felt hungry and thirsty. So without waiting for Bingzhou's troops to deploy, they took the lead and galloped over.
Seeing this, Cao Cao felt slightly proud. This Lu Bu didn't know the art of war and he was a reckless man who could be captured.
He signaled with his eyes that his brother Xiahou Dun could teach him a lesson. Xiahou Dun understood and rode out with his gun drawn.
Yu Lu thought to himself that Zhan Huaxiong didn't have a chance to show off last time, but he got a chance today.
I was very excited when I thought of this, and ran towards Lu Bu with a roar, and they started fighting.
All the princes, knowing that Lu Bu was powerful, stopped and watched, ready to see Cao Cao's joke.
When Lu Bu saw an enemy general coming up to fight, he waved his halberd casually and came forward to meet them.
For a moment, only spears and halberds were interlaced, and the sound of clashing weapons could be heard. After twenty rounds, there is still no winner.
Yes, this general Cao was good at martial arts, and he could fight with Lu Bu for so long. It seemed that there was a chance, and all the princes also regained a little confidence, and they all started cheering for Xiahou Dun. Immediately, I heard shouts of encouragement and loud beating of drums.
Cao Cao was also very satisfied, thinking that Lu Bu was nothing more than that and had nothing to fear.
Cao Cao was a layman and couldn't understand the situation, but Xia Houyuan beside him was thoughtful and kept paying attention to Xiahou Dun's condition. After all, he was his brother, and he didn't care who cared.
This made Xiahou Dun miserable. He originally thought that Lu Bu's martial arts skills were nothing more than this, and the rest were mostly exaggerated. But once they fought, they realized that they were no match for the opponent at all. After fighting for so long, I have used up all my strength, but looking at Lu Bu, he still looks calm and relaxed. Maybe this guy hasn't shown his true ability yet.
Lu Bu was indeed, as Xiahou Dun expected, always failing to do his best. It's rare to meet someone with good martial arts who can have fun first, but after playing now, I feel that Xiahou Dun's martial arts is just like that, I'm tired of it, and I'm a little impatient.
Lu Bu looked at Xiahou Dun, panting, and said scornfully, "You can't do it even if I haven't exerted my strength. You are good at martial arts. For the sake of pleasing me, I will leave you a complete corpse."
As he spoke, he waved his halberd with 100% of his strength. Xiahou Dun naturally hurriedly parried, but unfortunately the difference in martial arts was too big. With a wave of Lu Bu's hand, Xiahou Dun, including his men and horses, retreated twenty steps. The hands holding the gun were filled with blood, and it flowed down the barrel of the gun. It really hurt. Naturally, I couldn't hold the gun anymore and it flew away.
Seeing this, Lu Bu kicked the horse's belly. The red rabbit horse was in pain and ran away. Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's painted halberd and wanted to kill him.
Seeing this, he shouted, "No, Yuan Rang is in danger." Without any time to explain, he galloped up to rescue Xiahou Dun.
Just a sound of "dang" was heard, and weapons were clashed. Xia Houyuan finally caught up and collided with Lu Bu's weapons.
With a click, Xiahou Yuan's sword snapped, and Lu Bu's offensive paused for a moment before he was able to rescue Xiahou Dun.
From the shouts of the princes to the crisp sound of weapons breaking, these things happened in just a moment.
The cheers of the allied forces of the princes stopped suddenly, and Cao Cao's proud expression was also on his face, causing the Bingzhou army to laugh.
Gao Shun was worthy of being a general. He had been watching with an expressionless face. Seeing this opportunity, he rode out first and shouted, "Brothers, follow me."
Eight hundred soldiers in full armor followed closely behind him. Seeing this, the Bingzhou Army also followed them with howls.
When Cao Cao saw that the situation was not good, he quickly turned his horse and ran away. Cao Cao's army fled without giving orders.
He ran away so fast without even saying hello. He was so shameless. Seeing this, all the troops of the princes fled in all directions, wishing they had an extra leg.
For a time, the Bingzhou army was everywhere chasing and killing the allied forces of the princes. They fought back to the princes' strongholds. The Xiliang army was completely victorious and reported victory at Dong Zhuo.
