Chapter 338 The first drop of blood
Speaking of Tao Qian in Xuzhou, after Chen Long and Lu Bu withdrew their troops from Yanzhou, Xun Wenruo was not in a hurry to let his lord Cao Cao come back to regain Puyang and Juancheng. Cao Cao and Xun Yu both knew each other well. Now that Qingzhou has fallen, how can Xuzhou, which is thousands of miles away, let go so easily. In the words of Cheng Yu, who followed Cao Cao's expeditionary army, "Tao Qian and Tao Gong are old, can they still eat?"
Xun Wenruo held the Yanzhou seat firmly and survived the dangerous period when Lu Bu and Chen Long jointly marched. Cao Mengde's expedition to Qingzhou and his plan to conquer Xuzhou relied on Xun Wenruo's stability at the rear. Chen Long and the Black Mountain Army were helpless and had no choice but to watch as Cao Cao went to seize Qingxu Prefecture.
To make matters worse, when Lu Bu was struggling to make any progress in Dingtao, Chen Longming did an excellent job in attacking Juancheng and secretly attacking Puyang. Coupled with Hattori Ghost's investigation report on Longzhu, White Butterfly was already deeply afraid of Longzhu. Lu Bu was bewitched by the white butterfly and decided to betray the alliance. He raised troops from Chenliu and divided his troops into multiple routes to surround Juancheng and Baima Ferry and cut off the Black Mountain Army's Yellow River supply line. Lu Bu left Chen Gong to guard Chen Liu, his lair, and personally led the army to the foot of Puyang.
On this day, the army was only fifty miles away from Puyang, so Lu Bu ordered to set up a stronghold along the hills. Before the establishment of the stronghold was over, I suddenly saw a big dust head rising in the direction of Puyang, and my men hurriedly reported it to their lord. Lu Bu and Bai Butterfly were resting in the Chinese army tent, listening to each other's attacks. They laughed and said, "I guess that Longzhu wants to take advantage of a certain family's unsteady foothold and come to steal the camp and rob it. Come here, take my weapons." War Armor, take my red rabbit horse!"
Bai Butterfly was very excited. It seemed that Lu Bu personally took action and the battle with Puyang was about to begin. Lu Bu's attire was very neat. As expected, he was majestic and majestic. The white butterfly's pretty eyes shone with all his charming eyes. Sure enough, the beauty's eyes are the best*. Lu Bu stood taller and taller, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd in his right hand, wearing a golden crown, wearing a hundred-flower war robe, Tang Ni armor, and a lion belt, followed by a BMW and a red rabbit. This horse travels thousands of miles in a day, crosses water and climbs mountains, as if walking on flat ground. It is as red as coals from top to bottom, without a single hair. It is ten feet long from head to tail and eight feet high from hoof to neck. It screams and roars, and sometimes leaps into the air. Entering the sea. Later generations wrote a poem called Red Rabbit Horse, which says: "The galloping thousands of miles stirs up the dust, the purple mist opens when crossing water and climbing mountains. Break the silk reins and shake the jade bridle, and the fire dragon flies down to the nine heavens."
Lu Bu is among the people, the red rabbit is among the horses, Fang Tian's painted halberd shines with golden light, and beside the saddle bridge hang the carved bow that Lu Bu usually uses and a pot of carved feather arrows. Bai Butterfly also changed into a new set of purple soft armor. The white shirt was as bright as the moonlight and spotless. The curved long sword was exposed behind the shirt, adding a lot of power. Both of them were fascinated by each other, and it was not until their subordinates urged them that they set off for the expedition together, along with the famous general Cao Xing.
The crowd in Puyang's direction was aroused. It was no one else. It was the military advisor Long Zhu who personally led the team. Behind Chen Long, there is also a general in the main army, Guan Yu, who leads an army of 20,000. General Tai Shici, who leads an army of 20,000, forms the flanks. He himself leads the central troops all the way.
Chen Long knew that the god of war, Lu Bu, was opposite him. How could he not feel this in his heart? He was still a little excited. Seeing Lu Bu's unconventional expression, he couldn't help but secretly praise him. The beautiful woman in white robe and purple armor next to Lu Bu attracted the man's attention even more. Guan Yu looked at her in a daze again. Men are lustful, and the second master is no exception.
They looked at each other like this for a long time, and both sides set up their formations, facing each other. Lu Bu was a little anxious. He pointed at Guan Yu with Fang Tian's painted halberd and cursed: "Guan Yu! I heard that you claim to be a hero, but last time you beat three of them! I dare to ask why your useless eldest brother and third brother who is the scapegoat are not here." Come? Do you dare to fight San Lily alone with the painted halberd in my hand today!"
Guan Yu heard the contempt in Lu Bu's mouth and became furious. He did not ask Chen Long for instructions, so he went out to beat the horse. Suddenly, a cold arrow shot out from behind Lu Bu's broad back. Guan Yu did not expect that someone would attack him secretly, and he was shocked. Without caring about his face, he fell down from his horse. The long arrow whizzed past the horse's head with a sharp sound of wind, and almost blew off Guan Yu's green turban.
Guan Yu yelled angrily, and was about to mount his horse again to fight Lu Bu, but he saw Tai Shi Ci riding Jue Chen, charging past him, and returning an arrow to the person who had sneaked the attack earlier.
Taishi Ci was a powerful archer. His arrow was as fast as a shooting star chasing the moon, and it reached the attacker. The person who made the sneak attack was Cao Xing, who was good at bow and arrow. He didn't expect that Taishi Ci would immediately find where he was standing. He was slightly startled, and the arrow was already in front of him. Cao Xing couldn't dodge, so he closed his eyes and said, "I will die." That’s it!
Suddenly there was a clang, and the iron arrow that was shot was split by a long sword that came from nowhere, and fell into the grass a few meters away. To be precise, what knocked the iron arrow away was a curved scimitar, which was the saber behind Bai Butterfly. Not only was Cao Xing stunned at this time, but Chen Long and others were also deeply shocked by White Butterfly's lightning strike. A woman with such a gentle and beautiful appearance was as fast as lightning. She split open the iron arrow shot by Taishi Ci with just a raise of her hand. This light skill and swordsmanship were definitely not inferior to Taishi Ci's.
Cao Xing saved his life, shouted loudly, and went out to fight with Taishi Ci. Guan Yu took the opportunity to mount his horse again, and was about to rush to the defense line of Lu Bu's army again. Suddenly, the gongs of the Black Mountain Army were heard behind him. Taishi Ci and Guan Yu then gave up their opponents and temporarily withdrew to their own formation.
Seeing that the Montenegrin army suddenly retreated, Lu Bu was afraid of an ambush, so he restrained his soldiers not to follow him. But he couldn't show weakness in his mouth, and still shouted: "Longzhu listens! Since you don't want your subordinates to come and die, you can come and die yourself! You and I can fight to the death, how about the winner takes all? It's better than letting the little one die. Brothers fight to the death!"
The winner takes all, which naturally ties the fate of Puyang and the Black Mountain Army to this duel. If Long Zhu dares not agree, he will naturally lose his face in front of outsiders and become a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Lu Bu was sure that Chen Long would never agree, so he spoke out in order to humiliate Chen Long.
Unexpectedly, Chen Long laughed wildly and shouted: "I recalled Yun Chang and Ziyi, just because I wanted to challenge General Lu to a duel! General Lu wants the winner to take all, no problem! If I lose, I will give up Puyang." Give it to General Lu, but if I win, will General Lu be willing to give me Chen Liu?"
Lu Bu was speechless for a moment and said: "Well, Chen Liu is my government, how can I gamble with it! I will never lose, so there is no need to guess at this bet!"
Chen Long said: "That's not possible. If the bet is not clearly stated, I will suffer too much. Let's do this. If I win, how about I only need two things from you?"
Lu Bu smiled and said: "Tell me about it! If it is reasonable, I will naturally agree."
Chen Long also smiled and said: "The guarantee is very reasonable! The first thing is that the red rabbit horse you want to sit on will be given as a gift to General Guan!"
Lu Bu was startled, then laughed and said: "This is easy! A certain family agrees! It depends on whether he has this fate. If Red Rabbit refuses to follow him or let him ride, there is nothing I can do. What about the second one?"
Chen Long laughed loudly and said: "Secondly, I want this charming and beautiful girl next to you to marry me, brother Guan Yu. She can ride a red rabbit during the day and a beautiful girl at night. Brother Guan won't Are you happy?" As soon as he said this, the soldiers behind him burst into laughter and started making noises. The angry White Butterfly's pale face suddenly turned into a pink liver color.
Seeing that his beloved wife was humiliated, Lu Bu was so angry that he didn't reply. He tightened his legs and the red rabbit horse came out of its sheath like a red light and flew straight towards Chen Long. Fang Tian's painted halberd danced like flying, painting shadows of the halberd all over the sky, and hit Chen Long's hastily raised steel spear hard.
Power as heavy as a mountain coaxed the gun barrel, and was quickly transmitted to Chen Long's arms, and then spread throughout the meridians of his body. Chen Long's ears rang loudly, and a drop of blood flowed out of his right ear hole. This was the first time Chen Long shed blood in a battle after coming to the Three Kingdoms.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
