"How can I ask you to take action against a common man?"
Lu Li immediately stopped Sun Jian, looked around, and asked loudly: "Who dares to fight against Hua Xiong?"
Even though Hua Xiong devalued Sun Jian as worthless, no one would underestimate Emperor Wu Lie, the founder of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. However, there were many generals in the pass, and there were many who could kill Hua Xiong. There was no need to let him go into battle.
In addition, if you fail, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Alliance leader, I am willing to fight!" Sun Ce walked out from behind Marquis Wucheng, with determination on his face: "Behead Hua Xiong's dog for my father."
"Leader, I haven't made any achievements since I arrived here, but I am willing to go out to fight and show off my power!" Xiahou Dun handed over his hand.
On the side, Xia Houyuan and the Cao brothers were also full of confidence and came out to fight.
However, after weighing the two in his mind, Lu Li still felt that it was safest to send Mr. Guan to fight. Others could only say that he had a chance of winning, but this one could definitely be called: Hua Xiong's nemesis.
After all, warming wine and killing Hua Xiong was Guan Yu's most glorious military exploit since he joined the army. It made the princes of the world know for the first time that there was such a fierce general in the world.
"Young general is willing to cut off Hua Xiong's head and offer it under the tent!"
However, when Lu Li was thinking about how to speak, Guan Yu took the initiative and asked for a fight. His voice was like a huge bell, silencing all voices at once.
Xia Houyuan couldn't help frowning, looking sideways, and the dissatisfaction in his heart receded slightly: Guan Yu is nine feet long, and his beard is two feet long. You can tell that he is extraordinary at a glance, especially his pair of red and phoenix eyes, which are full of majesty and make people dare not underestimate him. .
"Who are you?"
Xiahou Dun's voice was slightly cold. He had traveled thousands of miles from Pei State to join his clan brother Cao Cao. He originally wanted to make great achievements, but now he could only let others show off his power.
Perhaps because he was worried that Liu Bei's name would not be able to suppress the situation, the White Horse General Gongsun Zan answered on his behalf: "Guan Yu, Liu Xuande's younger brother, has courage that no man can match."
Among the ten princes in the pass, except for Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng, Gongsun Zan has the most troops and the most elite troops. Two thousand white-horse followers who are proficient in secret arts can kill an army of 100,000 people seven in and seven out as long as they are used properly. .
"I've heard about Duke Xuande's name for a long time."
Lu Li was not Yuan Shu, so naturally he would not say those derogatory words. Seeing Tao Qian and others' expressions of confusion, he took the initiative to introduce: "Xuan Degong belongs to the Han Dynasty sect. After King Jing of Zhongshan, His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing is the great-great-grandson. If we count, , and the same generation as the late emperor."
Hearing this, Liu Bei quickly clasped his hands and even said he did not dare.
Not far away, Cao Cao said with a smile: "It turns out that he is a member of the imperial family. No wonder someone feels extraordinary when he sees you."
Immediately afterwards, he looked at Guan Yu again, his eyes paused slightly on his beautiful beard, and thought to himself: He is well-groomed, he must be a tiger general.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao decided to be a favor and speak for Guan Yu: "Alliance leader, since this man has made great promises, he must have brave strategies. Why don't we let him go out to fight?"
"Brother..."
Xia Houyuan's expression changed. As the saying goes, one should not avoid relatives when promoting talents. He couldn't figure out why Cao Cao paid attention to the red-faced man in front of him.
Before the two of them could say the rest of their words, Cao Cao stopped them with his eyes.
At this moment, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, who was from the same clan as Liu Bei, also spoke up and said, "Alliance leader, I think this man's appearance is abnormal. Let's let him have a try. If he fails to win, it is not too late to punish him."
If you want to sleep, there is a pillow.
For Lu Li, Cao Cao and Liu Dai's words just gave him a step up.
However, he pretended to ponder for a moment and then said: "In this case, this second formation will be left to the strong men."
Since Guan Yu was just a horse archer and had no official position, Lu Li called him a strong man.
"I will live up to the leader's expectations!"
Guan Yu clasped his hands in salute, then turned and walked towards Guanxia. When he passed Cao Cao, Meng Degong, who cherished talents, pulled him, picked up the wine cup, and said with a smile: "Please have a drink from this cup before going."
"Pour down your wine. I'll be back when I go!"
Guan Yu has an arrogant personality and his words are full of confidence, but he also attracts many people to frown.
On the side, Pan Ming knew that Guan Yu would win this battle, so he didn't feel anything. But Xia Houyuan and others didn't know. They thought that their abilities were not inferior to others, but they didn't dare to say that they were 100% sure when they fought against Hua Xiong. An unknown person was so arrogant that he couldn't help but snort.
Liu Bei knew that his second brother Guan Yu had such a personality, that he was not very good at talking and easily offended others, so he quickly said to smooth things over: "You guys can just sit back and watch, my brother will definitely defeat Hua Xiong!"
In any case, Liu Bei is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty recognized by the leader of the alliance, and as a small prince, he naturally has a bit of prestige when speaking. The Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers could only suppress their displeasure and come to the wall to stand down. Looking down on the battlefield.
"Haha, this wine will keep the warrior warm for the time being. Once I take Hua Xiong's head, I will drink another full glass."
Cao Cao has always been courteous to those who have the ability, for fear that he will neglect the hero.
At this moment, this hero with an official residence of two thousand shi was personally holding the wine set and looking at Guan Xia intently, as if waiting for Guan Yu to return after a great victory.
Pan Ming, who was behind Cao Cao, felt a strange emotion in his heart: In the past, when I came to seek refuge with my lord, I didn't receive such treatment...
at the same time.
Hua Xiong's eyes widened as he looked at the cavalrymen coming out of the pass, and a strange thought came to his mind: I'm afraid he really underestimated the princes in the pass.
Because he smelled a dangerous aura from Guan Yu, who was definitely stronger than Pan Feng, and there was another person on the Guan Tower opposite who was not weaker than him.
Because of this, out of recognition of Guan Yu's strength, Hua Xiong took the initiative and said: "The generals can share their names."
As for fear, there is no fear at all!
Because the previous battle with Pan Feng made him take a half-step on the path of being a warrior, which he had been slow to make progress on, Hua Xiong had a strong premonition that as long as he defeated the person in front of him, he would be invincible in the world.
"The person who will kill you is Hedong Guan Yunchang!" Guan Yu did not delay, clamped the horse's belly, and relied on the sprinting speed of the horse under his crotch to take the lead.
A streak of cyan light passed by.
The rapid wind rushed towards him, making Hua Xiong feel a little short of breath, and his blood surged sharply. He took a deep breath, raised the sword in his hand, poured enough energy into it, and slashed hard.
In fact, he has done this action many times, and he is very skillful. A weaker general cannot withstand this blow at all, and his men and horses will be smashed to pieces. Even Pan Feng in his prime state will have to wrestle with him for a long time.
"clang!"
There was a loud noise, and gold and iron mingled.
During this time, Hua Xiong vaguely heard the sound of dragon roaring, but he couldn't care less about distinguishing it. An irresistible force hit him, as if he was about to blow it away.
It's just one move, and you know it's worth it.
Hua Xiong wanted to compete with Guan Yu in the simplest and crudest way, but found that the result was completely different from what he imagined.
Is there too big a difference in strength?
Even if he gritted his teeth and resisted, it would only ensure that the end would not be so embarrassing. In addition, under the pressure of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, the iron sword began to break.
"Kill!" Hua Xiong let out a low roar, squeezing every ounce of strength from his body. The already divine eagle behind him became more extraordinary, constantly fluttering its wings and chirping, as if breaking free from its restraints and attacking the sky.
It's a pity that this is a useless effort. Guan Yu said in a cold voice in a tone of stating the facts: "I will kill you with three swords."
He saw the shadow of a four-clawed green dragon lingering on his arm. Even though it was far away, he still felt a strong sense of oppression. Many weaker generals had unconsciously activated their fighting spirits to offset this pressure. brought about.
Beside the battlements, Liu Bei proudly stroked his beard under his chin, as if to say: My second brother is invincible in the world.
"Zilong, if you fight with me." Lu Li looked at Hua Xiong who had completely fallen down, and couldn't help but ask, "What are the chances of winning?"
"have no idea."
Zhao Yun shook his head and answered truthfully: "This person is similar in strength to me. We will only know after a fight."
"I am Hua Xiong, undefeated in the world!"
A loud roar drew everyone's attention back, but no one thought that something would go wrong. Even if Hua Xiong refused to give in, or broke through on the spot, in Guan Yu's eyes, it was just a matter of a few blows.
"The third knife."
At this moment, looking at the blazing eagle in front of him, Mr. Guan calmly uttered three words.
The next moment, an ancient roar resounded through the clouds, making people's eardrums hurt. A blue light circled and rushed out. Dust was splashed high, making it difficult for even Lu Li to see clearly what was happening in the dust.
However, he noticed that a breath disappeared, it could only be Hua Xiong.
Sure enough, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the ground spring surged, sinking several feet deep into the battlefield, leaving only a figure standing proudly.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Several eyes fell on Guan Yu's face. Since the second master was naturally blushing, nothing unusual could be seen. However, his aura was stable and his posture was steady. There was no clue that he had just experienced a dangerous and fierce battle.
Therefore, both Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were impressed and no longer looked down upon each other.
Cao Cao sighed unconsciously: "I have always loved the heroes of the world, and Yunchang's martial arts is the best among the three armies..."
At this point, he remained silent and did not say the last sentence: I want to get it for myself.
But even so, it still aroused Liu Bei's vigilance, not only to Cao Cao, but also to other princes. Kong Rong, a disciple of the saint, and Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, were all interested in Guan Yu. Even Zhang Fei, who had not yet taken action, became their target. Target.
Liu Dai, who was also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, immediately invited Liu Bei to have a night gathering, saying that we were all relatives and came from the same bloodline, and we should support each other in the future. However, the envious look in this guy's eyes could not be concealed at all. It’s clear what he’s thinking.
Fortunately, Gongsun Zan came to help, and Liu Bei was able to escape temporarily.
"The only one who can defeat Guan Yu reliably is Feng Xian."
After saying this, Lu Li couldn't help but look to the north. At present, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry had not arrived yet, and Lu Bu was still on the way.
However, ten generals sent by Dong Zhuo's side appeared in sight.
Fang Yue, a subordinate of Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi.
Huben Zhonglang, Yuan Shu's general, Yu She.
The younger brother of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin was Bao Zhong.
The governor of Xiliang, Ma Teng.
Ma Chao, son of Xiliang Prefect.
…
Among the ten figures, the most eye-catching one is Duke. He is wearing heavy armor and holding a long spear that does not match his body shape.
"Hua Xiong was beheaded by the enemy generals."
Li Jue looked at Guan Yu who was standing in front of him, his voice cold.
Beside him, Fan Chou pressed his knife and said nothing, silently looking at Xu Rong.
Without waiting for General Xu Rong's reply, Fang Yue couldn't help but suggest: "Let's go and attack this person together."
"Yes." Yu She nodded.
After saying this, the two men rushed out of the team and charged straight towards Guan Yu, who was looking down at the enemies.
Not long after, two wailing sounds sounded, followed by their figures fleeing in embarrassment.
Finally, an angry shout rang out: "Two cowardless people, kill them and taint my sword!"
Having said that, the light blade with the dragon's roar still cut off two heads neatly.
"This must be Martial Saint Guan Yunchang."
Duke murmured, recognizing the identity of the enemy general at a glance, but he had no intention of retreating——
Again, Dong Zhuo had been conquering Xiliang for decades, and now that he had the courage to attack Luoyang, the divine capital, he was fully prepared.
Now, among the five tiger generals of Xiliang, only Guo Bang is seriously injured and cannot fight, while the other four have come to knock on the door.
Ma Teng stared ahead with a solemn face: "Leave this person to me and Li Jue."
"Just wrap it up and we'll come to rescue as soon as possible." Xu Rong responded in a deep voice.
Obviously, the deaths of Yu She and Bao Zhong did not affect the fighting spirit of the other eight people.
"I thought I would pursue the victory but it turned out to be a decisive battle, but it was not beyond expectations."
In fact, Duke had already prepared for the worst before going to war. It was better to ask for help than to ask for help. Anyway, there was not much time left for the Xiliang army. Instead of wasting it here and hoping that Li Su could rebel against Lu Bu, it was It is better to launch a general attack and determine the outcome in one fell swoop.
the other side.
Above the Guan Tower, the relaxed atmosphere caused by Guan Yu's easy capture of Hua Xiong's head disappeared in an instant.
"That man is Xu Rong, the most powerful general in Xiliang. He is top notch in terms of combat prowess and strategy."
Zhang Yang's eyes were full of fighting spirit. Among the generals present, no one knew Xu Rong better than him, who was a military general, and was more eager to fight with him.
Eight generals came to knock on the gate.
Lu Li silently clenched the hilt of the knife, thinking in his heart: If it were a one-on-one fight, he would not be weak at all.
Seven people can be entrusted with important tasks: Zhao Zilong of Changshan, Zhang Yide of Yan, Yunchang of Wusheng, Sun Jian of Jiangdong Tiger, White Horse General Gongsun Zan, Xiahou Dun of Pei, and Wu Meng are engaged in publicity. The following generals include Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong.
Frankly speaking, looking at this posture, Lu Li knew that this would be the final battle and wanted to fight in person. However, the alliance leader could not act rashly. Only when Dong Zhuo personally fought would he have reason to take action.
In addition, after sending the seven strongest players, who should be sent to face Duke?
Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong were not the strongest, but they were not ordinary people either. They could easily kill them... That's right, knowing that he was sure to win, Lu Li decided to take care of Duke who had gone astray. I will try my best to help him improve his personal evaluation.
Wu Anguo?
The only military commander under the great Confucian Kong Rong, he was good at using a long-handled hammer, neither strong nor weak.
While thinking intently, Xu Rong and others arrived at Guanxia and confronted Guan Yu a hundred steps away.
In this case, there was no need to call for a formation to know their intention. The heroes in the pass no longer quarreled, let alone rushed to fight——
Everyone can find a rival.
Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and other powerful generals all participated in the battle, with only two exceptions. Sun Jian chose to sit on the sidelines and ordered his son Sun Ce to fight against Ma Chao.
Both of them were young heroes of thirteen or fourteen years old. Lu Li felt that he was incompetent, so he agreed to Sun Ce to fight on his father's behalf.
The other one was Xun Yu, who was an expert in predicting events. He took the initiative to ask for a fight and stopped Li Ru and Jia Xu to prevent them from interfering with the war.
This battle lasts from sunrise to sunset.
Not only was the earth in a state of devastation, but even the Hangu Pass, which was said to be indestructible for ten thousand years, was full of cracks. For the first time, the soldiers knew that their vision had restricted them, and that people could really step into the realm that only the gods of heaven and earth could step into.
During this period, some people were seriously injured and defeated, while others won easily and returned home, unwilling to overwhelm the young with more. This is the arrogance of the strong.
"I thought I could make a name for myself here, but now I see..."
Pan Ming looked at Duke below who was struggling to win and couldn't even stand steady. He shook his head and thought to himself: Fortunately, he got the imperial seal and got a certain degree of participation in the plot. Otherwise, Lu Li would have been thrown away for a long time. Distance.
At this thought, Pan Ming cast his gaze to his side. In this world, there is no bigger winner than Lu Li: he started from humble beginnings and became famous in Hangu.
"finally come."
Lu Li didn't pay attention to this, because he saw a red-gold light crossing the river with overwhelming momentum, and he was afraid that others would not know that he was here.
"The thief Dong is crowned!"
With the roar, a painted halberd like a shooting star fell from the sky, hitting the gate of Dong Yingyuan without losing force, hitting the tent in the middle, and debris flying all over the sky.
