Even though Sun Jian knew that he was not as good as Lu Bu, he still let his momentum show that he was on par with Lu Bu.
But Sun Jian had a completely different idea in his heart.
Sun Jian: Damn it, I didn’t expect Lu Bu to be so brave. Part-time is that the God of War Xiang Yu is alive, no wonder he can compete with the three Liu Bei brothers that day.
It seems that the plan needs to be implemented quickly. Otherwise, if the time drags on for too long, I, Sun Jian, will probably become the soul under his halberd today.
When Lu Bu heard that Sun Jian was still arrogant, he smiled and said: "I think you, the Jiangdong Tiger, are just in vain. I only praised you a few words and you are so arrogant."
"It's okay that you are uncultured, but I, Lu Bu, didn't expect that your mouth is harder than your bones."
"You have to know that I only used the strength of one hand just now. Since you are so ignorant, today you will become the dead soul under my painted halberd, Lu Bu Fangtian!"
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he rode the red rabbit horse and attacked Sun Jian again. But what's different this time is that Lu Bu's hand holding the weapon is not with one hand, but with both hands.
But Sun Jian was not timid and did not retreat. He also rode his horse and attacked Lu Bu with all his strength. The two fought for more than thirty rounds in one time, and Sun Jian was already feeling exhausted.
Then, taking advantage of the break in the fight, he narrowly avoided one of Lu Bu's sweeps. The helmet he was wearing was swept off his head, but fortunately he didn't suffer too much damage.
Sun Jian, on the other hand, took advantage of this opportunity and asked Cao Cao and Liu Bei to set up an ambush in advance. Lu Bu, who had already attacked him, saw Sun Jian escaping and shouted: "Sun Jian, son, where are you running?"
"All officers and men will follow me in pursuit. Whoever takes Sun Jian's head will be promoted to three levels and will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
At this time, Xu Huang, who followed Lu Bu into the battle, clearly felt something was wrong. But he could no longer persuade Lu Bu, so he could only lead his troops and horses to pursue him.
Along the way, he also killed many enemies who were panicking and followed Lu Bu's footsteps closely.
When Yuan Shao and the other princes who were watching the battle on the city saw that Lu Bu had fallen into the trap, they immediately sent a large army to besiege Hulao Pass.
For a time, hundreds of thousands of troops were attacking the city from each of the three directions of Hulao Pass. The guard general was Guo Bang, one of Dong Zhuo's four generals. After a brief resistance, he gave up Hulao Pass prematurely and fled.
At this moment, Lu Bu was also trapped in a deep encirclement, and Yuan Shao initially asked Prefect Wang Kuang to lead an army of 10,000 to support Cao Cao and the others for safety reasons.
This leaves enough time for them to capture Hulao Pass, and they can drag Lu Bu for at least three hours.
Moreover, Sun Jian also had many generals under his command, and the situation was exactly as Yuan Shao expected. At this moment, Lu Bu was surrounded by the army led by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, but Lu Bu was not afraid at all when he saw that he had fallen into the encirclement.
He also believed that Guo Si would not be able to defend Hulao Pass with hundreds of thousands of troops, but Lu Bu did not expect that there were many fierce generals among the eighteen princes.
Under the leadership of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Hulao Pass only persisted for two hours before the morning guard Guo Si led his troops to escape.
Because hundreds of thousands of troops attacked the city together, a gap opened up like a dike bursting. It was impossible to defend Hulao Pass, but when these princes captured Hulao Pass, no one took the initiative to send troops to support Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian.
Even Yuan Shu himself is no exception. After all, he also wants to see what the correction power of this world will do. Will Lu Bu finally take care of the three of them, or will they take care of Lu Bu?
But at this moment, Lu Bu saw that he was surrounded and said, "Son Jian, it seems that you are just a coward."
"If you can't defeat me, Lu Bu, in a single fight, then you will team up with these thieves to ambush me, Lu Bu."
"It seems that you are not a hero either."
After Lu Bu finished speaking, Cao Cao immediately said: "Fengxian, it has been several months since we have been apart in Luoyang."
"The old thief Dong Zhuo is confusing the court, and the people of the world are in dire straits. How about you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and you can protect your own life today."
"If you join my army, I will protect your position as general. What do you think?"
Cao Cao really loved a brave general like Lu Bu. He knew that if he had Lu Bu's help, he would not have to worry about success.
Who would have thought that after Cao Cao finished speaking, Lu Bu said: "Cao Cao, you are just an ungrateful person. How can you have the face to recruit me, Lu Bu, to surrender? I think the grand master was so unkind to you back then."
"But you tried to assassinate the Grand Master, which is really not what a gentleman would do."
"Don't you, Cao Cao, feel ashamed?"
Cao Cao: "Lü Bu, I have already said it. Dong Zhuo is a traitor to the country. What I, Cao Cao, did was for the sake of the people of the world, so why should I be guilty?"
Liu Bei, who had been silent all the time, did have his own plan. He knew that Lu Bu was really terrible. With so many people gathered together today, if Lu Bu cannot be killed, there will be endless troubles in the future.
Lu Bu was no longer someone that ordinary generals could defeat.
Besides, what if Lu Bu was surrendered by Cao Cao? Then he will have a very powerful opponent in the future, which is not the result Liu Bei wants.
Then Liu Bei said: "General Cao, General Sun. Lu Bu is stubborn and stubborn. We will kill him here today."
"It's better than him going back and continuing to serve Dong Zhuo. Isn't this a great achievement?"
Sun Jian: "That makes sense, I'll come with you!"
Sun Jian was simply a fool, and he actually attacked him as soon as he said it. He led several generals led by Huang Gai to attack him, and Liu Bei's three brothers followed closely behind.
Suddenly, Lu Bu alone began to challenge the seven of them. However, the difference in force value was too big, and Lu Bu was also furious.
Sun Jian's men did not last long before they were defeated by Lu Bu, although they were not killed in time. But they also lost their fighting power, and the soldiers on both sides also fought together.
But Xu Huang stared closely at Xia Houyuan next to Cao Cao. He knew that Lu Bu could not have another opponent now. Even if he wanted to help, he couldn't act rashly.
If he was careless, Xia Houyuan successfully attacked Lu Bu. Then these people are absolutely dead here, and there may be reinforcements coming from the other side.
Cao Cao: "Xia Houyuan, go ahead and meet this man for a while. He is not a person to be taken lightly."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, Xia Houyuan rode towards Xu Huangben without any hesitation. But Xu Huang was not afraid at all and also faced up to the challenge.
They are all of similar strength, and no one can do anything to the other for a while.
Xia Houyuan: "I didn't expect that there would be a talent like you around Lu Bu. No wonder I dare to keep staring at your grandpa Xia Hou."
"In that case, let's have a showdown!"
Xu Huang: "If I'm afraid of you, it's just a fight. I, Xu Huang, have never been afraid of anyone except the general."
With Xu Huang's strength, he is indeed capable of such arrogance. Moreover, he is not only a general, but also knows the art of war.
And after such a long time, the other party's reinforcements have not arrived, which is just for one reason. The reason is that the other party doesn't want to kill them all, so they each have their own agenda.
What's more, the killing cry that they heard from afar had ended. Xu Huang didn't believe that Guo Bang alone could defend Hulao Pass. After all, it was only a matter of time before Lü Bu, the backbone of the army, would be defeated at Hulao Pass.
The two sides only fought fiercely together for more than three hours. There were very few soldiers and horses left on both sides, and there were only more than two thousand soldiers and horses left on the entire battlefield.
Lu Bu's side only had a few hundred people, but their momentum was superior to that of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Jian. It turned out that the generals among these people were the trapped camp led by Lu Bu's infantry general Gao Shun.
Although this camp only has 800 people, it is the most powerful infantry team under Lu Bu. Apart from the future Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, this is the most powerful combat force under Lu Bu.
Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan were already exhausted. As for Lu Bu, although he had many scars on his body at the moment. But none of them were fatally injured. As for Sun Jian and the others, they had been taking turns fighting Lu Bu for a long time and still failed to defeat Lu Bu.
One can imagine how powerful Lu Bu was, but both sides were already exhausted by this point in the battle. With no strength to fight anymore, Sun Jian asked his general Huang Gai to go back to Yuan Shao in person to ask for help.
Lu Bu: "You guys, it's nothing more than that."
At this time, Gao Shun still had physical strength. The trapped camp also became more and more courageous as they fought, and Cao Cao saw the clues while watching the battle.
If their reinforcements hadn't arrived yet, they would be the ones dying now.
Moreover, Huang Gai has been back for nearly a month and a half now. But after calculating the time, the reinforcements should have arrived, but the lack of reinforcements means that there is a serious problem on their side.
Although it was very likely that the princes were unwilling to send troops, Cao Cao did not believe that they could not see the situation clearly. He was more willing to believe that something happened to Huang Gai on the way, so Cao Cao thought about it clearly and said: "Lu Bu, we have been fighting for half a day."
"Now we are all exhausted, and neither of us has a champion. If we continue, it will be in vain. Why don't we just give up and make peace, okay?"
At this moment, Sun Jian and Liu Bei were too tired to say a word. If they hadn't had more troops around them. It is estimated that Lu Bu will definitely kill them first and then negotiate terms with Cao Cao.
Therefore, no matter how reluctant they are at this moment. He could only give up the ridiculous idea of continuing to fight and leaving Lu Bu behind.
As for Lu Bu, he looked at the few soldiers and horses left around him and Xu Huang, who had fallen down from exhaustion. The red rabbit horse under his crotch was also exhausted, so he had no choice but to agree to Cao Cao's conditions.
Lu Bu: "That's all, in that case, let's do as you say!"
