"Leader, there is no need to worry, Pan Feng is one of the best generals in Jizhou!"
Looking at the departing figure of his beloved, Han Fu stroked his beard proudly.
Obviously, he saw that Lu Li was continuing.
"If General Pan can kill the enemy general, I will report it to the court and mark the first achievement for Duke Han!" Lu Li smiled, as if full of confidence.
On the side, Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, left his seat, looked at Pan Feng who came out to fight, and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that heroes come from the north. When I see him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation."
"The Lord is so complimentary, hahaha."
For a time, the atmosphere in Guanlou became relaxed and happy, and the princes from all walks of life were complimenting each other.
The only exception was the White Horse General Gongsun Zan. At this moment, he was standing with his hands behind his hands, talking in a low voice to a middle-aged man next to him, with worry on his brows.
Speaking of which, Lu Li also had a fate with him. In the past, he crossed the border to chase King Guli. As a result, he had a conflict with a small group of white horse rebels in a canyon at the junction of You and Hebei. In the end, he had no choice but to kill and silence him, and then met Zhao Yun again. He smoothly abducted this unparalleled warrior to Bingzhou.
Not only that, Gongsun Zan’s personal experience is also the same as Lu Li’s. He reached the pinnacle of life entirely by marrying a wife——
Due to his mother's humble background, he was not valued by the clan since he was a child and could only serve as a secretary. Later, because of his majestic appearance and loud voice, he was loved by the eunuch and was able to marry the eunuch's daughter and reach the peak of his life.
Liu Bei?
But compared to Gongsun Zan, Lu Li cared more about the man next to him. He was seven feet five inches tall, with a face like a crown of jade and lips as if painted with grease. He was a handsome man.
Ears and shoulders?
Hands above knees?
Absolutely none of the above two items. If he really looked like this, it would be no different from a deformity. But Lu Li was sure that this person was Uncle Liu Huang, the famous Emperor Zhaolie from later generations. Because, besides him, who else could have such a close relationship with Gongsun Zan?
Sensing Lu Li looking here, Gongsun Zan raised his eyes and forced a smile.
"Why are you worried?" Lu Li asked knowingly.
When the vanguard of the two armies were fighting, saying depressing words would not only affect morale, but also offend Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou. Therefore, Gongsun Zan shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Lu Li glanced at Liu Bei standing behind him calmly.
Since there are no brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in this alliance, the atmosphere is much better. Anyone who is willing to help the Han Dynasty will be given a seat.
I saw a handsome man with red phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows and a face like a jujube sitting on the right side of Liu Bei. He was talking to a strong man with a black face and looked at Guanxia repeatedly.
At this moment, Pan Feng rode a green horse and came to a hundred paces in front of Hua Xiong. He raised the giant ax in his hand and said loudly: "Come and tell me your name."
Hua Xiong glanced at him and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Guan Lou and said disdainfully: "I didn't expect that the ten princes would choose a yellow-haired boy as the leader of the alliance."
"You dare to utter arrogant words even if you are selling your head by inserting bids, and you are not going to be awarded the head?" Pan Feng shouted when he saw that he was despised by the enemy general.
In an instant, the breath boiled, and a ferocious beast appeared out of thin air. It had a dragon head and a turtle body, and the color was as deep as gold, like a mountain.
Seeing this, Hua Xiong also let out a loud roar, raised his sword and struck at the double axe.
clang!
With a roar, the two horses passed by each other, and smoke and dust were everywhere. Above the gate, the princes from all walks of life turned their attention to it. Even Lu Li, who had no expectations, put down his wine bottle and watched the battle intently.
Looking through the flying sand in the sky, Pan Feng was confronting Hua Xiong, and the strange phenomena behind the two were like living creatures, staring at each other fiercely.
Golden Ao vs. Eagle.
"kill!"
Hua Xiong was the first to attack. The four hooves of the divine horse under his crotch kicked like flying, and turned into a red light and rushed towards the opposite side.
The Xiliang army has lost two games in a row. This battle must not be lost, even if the opponent is very strong and has natural supernatural power.
That's right, after the brief encounter just now, Hua Xiong had already recognized Pan Feng, but he didn't show it on his face.
On the other side, Pan Feng also charged on horseback. In his opinion, Hua Xiong had no right to be so arrogant:
There is not much difference in strength between the two, and the outcome is 50-50, but he dares to insult his leader in public, he is simply unworthy of a man!
In the midst of lightning and flint, the sound of swords and axes clashing exploded and continued continuously. A large number of soldiers felt panicked and tinnitus. Muffled sounds came from the center of the battlefield, hitting their hearts like blunt hammers.
Unknowingly, Lu Li had walked to the side of the wall to watch the battle, his armor rustling under the roar of the powerful phoenix.
Can Pan Feng fight Hua Xiong?
In fact, he was not the only one to think so. Pan Ming looked at the two people fighting together, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.
"The article misunderstood me, and the title of General of Hebei is well deserved."
Chen Guoxiang Zhao Bo said to himself that he had been here for a year. Although he had understood the spirit of war and had gone a long way on this road, he could not interfere in the fight between Hua Xiong and Pan Feng. "I'm afraid that if I get close, I will be Will it be broken into pieces by the light of the sword and the shadow of the axe?"
Langya Prime Minister Chen Yuan sighed in his heart:
After working hard for a year, constantly fighting and honing his martial arts, I thought I could shine here, but it turned out to be just a fill-in.
But what's the use of being unwilling?
The earth cracked, rocks were turned into powder by the force of the force, and underground spring water seeped out from the cracks.
Seeing such a scene, the four people unanimously explained to themselves: It has been just a year since I came here, so there is no need to be overwhelmed and compare with those heroes who are unique among thousands.
Pan Ming was not the case. A trace of unwillingness and expectation flashed in his eyes: Hua Xiong is too strong. If he fights against him, he will only be able to parry for fifty rounds at most, and he will not be able to defeat him at all. But the same cannot be said for other generals in Dong's camp.
"There's no need to test it. The next combination will determine life and death." Pan Feng's breathing was a little messy, and he said coldly and provocatively: "How dare you?"
"Why don't you dare?"
Hua Xiong immediately gave the answer.
At this moment, he felt that the tiger's mouth was slightly numb, because the double ax of the guy in front of him was like a bull, and every time it collided, there would be a backlash, which was very troublesome.
However, Hua Xiong didn't think about it. The fight was only about eighty rounds, so why did Pan Feng rush to decide life or death with one blow.
"kill!"
The shouts of killing rang out at the same time.
Neither Pan Feng nor Hua Xiong held back. The golden turtles looked up to the sky and roared, and the eagles flapped their wings and chirped.
Two generals shrouded in light collided together. Under the horses' hooves, the ground within a radius of a hundred meters began to sink. A sonic boom exploded. Many weaker generals felt their hair stand on end and stepped back unconsciously, for fear of themselves. was affected.
Few people noticed that a drop of blood fell from the tip of the green horse's nose, dripped on the cracked ground, and then evaporated in an instant.
Hua Xiong knew nothing about this, and Pan Feng was distracted for a moment, fearing that something might happen. He couldn't help but clamp the horse's belly tightly, and then devoted himself to the confrontation.
Han Fu pinched his beard and stared at the battlefield, fearing that something might happen to his beloved general——
This time King Qin only had Pan Feng at his side, and something important had gone wrong...
"Brother, Pan Feng is in danger." Zhao Yun reminded: "His mount can't hold on any longer."
A battle cannot be absolutely fair. When the combat power of both sides is equal, mounts, weapons, and even mentality become the decisive factors.
Pan Feng was confident that he was no weaker than others, but his mount, the green horse, was not good enough. After several battles, he was exhausted. Because of this, he wanted to decide the victory with one blow.
Not far away, Han Fu paled when he heard Zhao Yun's words: Although this green horse is a divine horse, it is not a purebred Dawan Pegasus. He originally bought it for an advantage and gave it to Pan for 60,000 yuan. Phoenix, usually works well, but now...
When he thought of this, he ignored his manners and grabbed Lu Li's shoulders: "Please also ask the leader to lend a helping hand and save Pan Feng."
Between words, Pan Feng was already at a disadvantage.
His nine-foot body was getting smaller inch by inch, and his unwillingness to kill the thief and his resistance to death quickly grabbed Pan Feng's heart.
In a daze, he thought of the alliance leader Lu Li, the concerned look in his eyes, and the wine he was pouring before he poured it, and the infinite fighting spirit surged in his heart.
"thump."
Just as he was about to stand up and fight again, the young horse's leg bones softened, and he knelt down directly in front of Hua Xiong's divine horse. Blood dripped from the tip of its nose uncontrollably, and Pan Feng leaned forward.
"die!"
Hua Xiong didn't care about anything else, roaring and suppressing the sword. At that moment, the joy of killing made him feel that he was invincible.
In the dark, he heard the sound of shattering, and the thick barrier that hindered his progress in martial arts was finally broken.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the sound of breaking wind sounded, a sharp sound broke the silence, and the azure arrow hit the sword. Hua Xiong was caught off guard and almost let go of the weapon.
That extremely sublime feeling disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before.
"Rat!" Hua Xiong was furious, staring at Lu Li with a pair of blood-red eyes, as if he had a grudge against him for killing his father, and the aura on his body began to boil.
"The general won the battle without using force. This battle was all due to the merits of the mount." Lu Li didn't care much, dismissed the vision of the heavenly wolf rising behind him, and put down the magpie-painted bow in his hand, "If it weren't for Pan Feng's unbearable mount, the victory or defeat would not have been possible." It’s not known yet.”
"However, this alliance leader did intervene in the war. Let's assume you win for a while."
A few words directly dispelled Hua Xiong's arrogance, making him feel even worse than losing. He glanced at the green horse kneeling on the ground and the languid Pan Feng, and snorted coldly: "This battle does not count. If you are brave, then someone else will come to challenge!"
After saying this, three riders rushed out of Hangu Pass, but not to fight, but to save Pan Feng——
Although Lu Li shot an arrow in time to save him, Hua Xiong's sword still cut him and cut him open from the chest to the left waist. If his physical fitness was not much higher than that of ordinary people, he would have died long ago.
Seeing this, Hua Xiong didn't stop him. Hengdao immediately stood up, assumed the same "glaring" attitude as before, and waited silently.
Not long after, Pan Feng was carried back to the Guanlou by the soldiers sent by Han Fu. When he was dying of consciousness, he said intermittently: "This battle is a disgrace to the mission. It is a defeat, a defeat... Please behead someone in accordance with military law..."
Before he could finish speaking, Han Fu immediately shouted: "Where is the doctor?"
"Where's the Warlock? Come and save him!"
Lu Li shook his head and took out a yellow talisman from his arms. In the past year, he had been reluctant to use it, and there were only three, no, two of these Qi Healing Talismans left that were carved by the great virtuous master Zhang Jiao. .
"Just stick it to the wound."
As the governor of a state, Han Fu naturally knew this thing and hurriedly gave it to Pan Feng for use.
As the warm light lit up, the ferocious blood stain gradually closed up, and Pan Feng's pale face gained a touch of blood.
"Carry it down and ask the doctors for treatment. It's okay." Lu Li waved his hand, and four soldiers came forward and carried Pan Feng to the back of the pass for diagnosis and treatment.
However, Han Fu did not leave. After all, as a prince who came to join the alliance, he could not interfere without permission.
"A great favor from the alliance leader..."
Before Han Fu could finish speaking, Lu Li immediately stretched out his hand to stop him: "Mr. Han's words are serious. We are blood-blooded allies, as we should. As for the failure in the first battle, we can't blame you two."
"General Pan is brave and will not lose to the enemy generals." Gongsun Zan persuaded him.
In fact, when he went into battle, he discovered that there was something wrong with the green horse. It carried too much weight. The two huge mountain-breaking axes weighed two thousand kilograms, and Pan Feng himself also weighed five hundred kilograms. Once the battle was fierce, he could not hold it at all. Can't live.
"I can clearly see that the horse stumbled, causing General Pan Feng to fall. This is an inhumane crime."
At this time, Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng, also stood up and spoke out for justice.
For a moment, Han Fu was deeply moved.
"Junior Huangmao, if you say that my general cannot win with force, then quickly choose someone to fight."
Hua Xiong was furious. He was confident that he would win in an upright manner, even if he dismounted and fought on foot!
Thinking of this, he raised his voice and said: "Little thief, I think your strength is quite good, but do you dare to come down? I will let you ride while I, the general, fight on foot!"
"They are so arrogant that they deceive all our princes and have no generals?" Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, looked around, and the four generals asked for battle one after another.
Cheng Pu, whose courtesy name is Demou, wields an iron-spine snake spear.
Yellow cover, the word Gongfu, makes an iron whip.
Han Dang, whose courtesy name is righteousness, wields a broadsword.
Zu Mao, whose courtesy name is Darong, wields two swords.
Even though they knew that Hua Xiong was brave and unstoppable, the four of them still loudly called for battle.
After this scene fell into Hua Xiong's eyes, he smiled disdainfully: "It's better not to send out these people. Four of them are no match for this general."
When Zu Mao heard this, his fur turned red with anger. He pointed his finger at the door and cursed: "How dare you, an unfaithful and unjust man who helps evil, bark here? Let's see my general take the dog's head from your neck!"
Hua Xiong grinned like a bloodthirsty tiger, especially when he looked into his eyes, it felt like falling into an ice cave.
Zu Mao's neck felt cold, and he held on and said: "Alliance leader, the last general invites you to fight."
Lu Li shook his head.
The two were not of the same level at all. Although Hua Xiong's words were arrogant and exaggerated, they were not wrong. Sun Jian's four generals went into battle together, but it was difficult to take him down. It was even difficult to escape intact.
To send him out to fight knowing that he will be defeated is either stupid or bad.
Lu Li looked at Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou. They both shook their heads helplessly. They did have generals under their command, but they were no match for Hua Xiong, because when Pan Feng fell from his horse, the two of them asked the generals, and The answer is very demoralizing:
If you are not an enemy of ten, you will not dare to fight.
Seeing this, Sun Jian decided to fight in person: "A fierce general from Guanxi? I plan to meet him personally."
"I hope the alliance leader will allow it."
Having said this, he cupped his hands towards Lu Li with a firm attitude.
The four families will be regarded as pigs and dogs, and Sun Jian will naturally have a hard time with it. In addition, he is indeed confident that he can win Hua Xiong.
Xu Huaxiong guessed what Sun Jian said, stood there and laughed for a while, then looked at Guanlou with contempt, spat on the ground, and said disdainfully:
"The name of Marquis Wucheng has been heard by my general for a long time. He suppressed the Yellow Turbans in Runan, but he was trapped by thieves and almost died. He came to Xiliang for several months to seek help from Zhang Gong and Han Sui, but without any success. Established, and finally with the help of Zhu Jun, the Changsha rebellion was barely suppressed."
"Who are the Changsha thieves? They are just a bunch of poor people who can't live anymore and rebelled with farm tools, but they have made a mediocre person like you famous and laughable!"
Previously, when Hua Xiong didn't scold the formation, Lu Li thought he was arrogant and disdainful of it, but now it seems that he definitely took it for granted.
How can this guy not curse?
Sun Jian, the dignified Marquis of Wucheng, was actually reduced to worthless by him.
However, before Sun Jian could react, Hua Xiong gained the upper hand and said with a mocking smile: "What do you call this man called Jiangdong Tiger? I have been in Xiliang all year round, and now it is my first time to fight in the Central Plains. I don't know the customs of the Central Plains. Could it be that there is no one here?" Warrior, can even cats and dogs be named tigers?”
The sound resounded over Hangu Pass and even reached Dongying, which was more than ten miles away.
Inside the tent, Dong Zhuo put down his wine bottle, clasped his hands and laughed, "Zijian is indeed my favorite general, you should realize it!"
After finishing his words, he drank the wine in one gulp, took a long breath, and all the stagnation in his chest dissipated.
Many generals from Xiliang also had smiles on their faces. They could imagine the scene when Hua Xiong, with the momentum of victory, reined in his horse with a sword and called for formation at the foot of the pass, while the heroes in the pass were afraid and did not dare to fight.
"Your Majesty, why don't you strike while the iron is hot and send a few more generals to kill the thieves and force them to surrender?"
Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin once again appeared.
In his opinion, if he follows Dong Zhuo and Yuan Wei, if he wins, he will reach the sky in one step. If he fails, the world will collapse. However, he is in the position of Prime Minister of Jibei and has military power. With Jibei as his capital, he can also become a prince. .
Now, Dong Jun's morale is high and victory is imminent. It is a good time to gain military exploits.
There were many princes in the account who paid this attention, and they all agreed, saying that they had strong generals under their command who could be used, no doubt they wanted to win a favorable battle.
Not far away, Jia Xu and Li Ru frowned. If Hua Xiong is really so powerful and scares all the heroes in the pass from fighting, they can act openly and rely on the general trend to crush them all the way, but...
"Father-in-law, General Hua Xiong is unstoppable, but Sun Jian is no idiot. It is true that he is a southerner, and there are many southerners who are good at fighting. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is a southerner. Don't underestimate the enemy."
There is no doubt that among the people in the account, Duke is definitely the one with the strongest sense of worry. As soon as he heard Hua Xiong's blind words, he knew that something was wrong, and he was afraid that he was going to draw out Mr. Guan!
"Ziqing, how can you let someone else's ambition destroy your own prestige?"
"The Rats in Guan Nei were lucky enough to win two games last night. It's nothing."
Loyalty is offensive.
Hua Xiong showed off his power at Hangu Pass, and all the generals in the tent felt so honored that they immediately suppressed what Duke was about to say.
"Haha, Ziqing is worrying too much." Dong Zhuo poured the wine and said with a smile: "Today is different from the past. Now that we have many soldiers and generals, and we work together as one, what can't be accomplished in the world?"
"It's up to you."
