Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 222
Cao Cao welcomed Liu He into the tent. After sitting down, he let out a long sigh and looked solemn, obviously not optimistic about the current situation.

Mo Ran poured two glasses of wine, and said helplessly: "Just now there was an urgent report from Hanoi that Wang Kuang's troops were defeated by Dong Zhuo's bluff and almost wiped out..."

"This..." Liu He was taken aback, frowned and said, "First, Sun Jian suffered a setback on the southern line, and now the northern line has been breached by the Xiliang army. The situation is very unfavorable to me!"

Cao Cao nodded and said: "For the current plan, the only way to save the situation is to capture Lu Bu, capture Hulao, and advance to Luoyang. However, the current situation has different people's hearts. The morale of the three armies is low, and the country is worried!"

Liu He asked: "Brother Meng De asked me to come, could it be that he has a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Cao Cao looked at Liu He, and suddenly said: "Among the princes, the only one who can be called a hero is the prince!"

Liu He waved his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Xian is absurdly praised, how can I dare to call you a hero?"

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Why should you be humble? Now that the court is chaotic and the princes have different opinions, since the prince is a relative of the Han family, he should stand up to restore justice. The morale of the army is weakened, the allies are disintegrated, and Dong Zhuo will be unstoppable."

"Brother Xian's words are true!" Cao Cao's words alerted Liu He, and he clasped his fists and said, "I will go to battle tomorrow, and I will go all out to capture and kill Lu Bu."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "I see that under the command of the princes and princes, both Guan and Zhang are enemies of ten thousand people. One person can fight Lu Bu. If two people go out together, they will surely capture and kill this bureaucrat. It is related to the Han Dynasty. I hope the princes will think twice."

Liu Heyan said: "Don't worry, Meng De. Previously, someone just wanted to show off for meritorious service. I didn't want to compete with him. I will go all out to deal with Lu Bu this time."

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Yuan Benchu ​​is indecisive and may not be able to achieve great things. He only regrets that he was not able to recommend the prince. If he wants to enter Luoyang, he has to rely on his authority!"

Liu He didn't expect Cao Cao to be so devoted to the court at this time, which made him ashamed as a clan member of the Han family. He got up and saluted immediately, and the two agreed to work together to kill Lu Bu tomorrow.

Turning back to the camp, I saw that Guan Zhang hadn't come back yet, and came to Liu Bei's tent again. Outside the tent, Liu Bei choked up and said: "Since Bei left Zhuo County, although he entered the palace to see the sky and guard Nanyang, he always felt I have regrets in my life, and I have sorrows and sorrows in my heart. I saw these two heroes today, and I knew that when I left Zhuo County that day, I passed them by. It is God's will to deceive people..."

Hearing this, Liu He frowned slightly, opened the curtain and walked in, only to see Liu Bei crying, looking even sadder than before.

Guan Yu was holding his long beard at the side, and couldn't help sighing and sighing, while Zhang Fei couldn't help shaking his head and sighing with red eyes.

When Liu Bei saw Liu He coming in, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He quickly lowered his head and wiped his tears, and said with a forced smile, "I and Yide are from the same hometown. When talking about things in our hometown, it is sentimental, and Boxing laughed."

"It's natural for a fellow villager to feel hurt when he sees a fellow villager!" Liu He smiled lightly and said to Guan Zhang, "Just now General Cao discussed with me about dealing with Lu Bu. Let's go back and make preparations earlier."

Zhang Fei took a deep breath and said loudly, "Tomorrow we are going to arrest the slaves of the three surnames."

The three said goodbye to Liu Bei and returned to their big tent.

Liu He turned around and looked at the two people with red eyes. He was deeply impressed by Liu Bei's skill in crying and said with a smile: "What did Xuande say to you, so sentimental?"

Zhang Fei waved his hands and said with a smile: "Talk about the old things in Zhuo County, and talk about the loyalty of sworn brothers, sharing life and death together in adversity, and he is a few years older than us. It seems that he wants to be a big brother. Hehe, I really think too much."

Liu He narrowed his eyes slightly, but smiled lightly, and said, "In this way, my elder brother has taken a fancy to the two of you and wants to recruit you under his command."

Guan Yu snorted coldly when he heard the words, while Zhang Fei yelled angrily, "He wants to poach me, Zhang Yide, but that's killing a pig and stabbing his ass, and he went in the wrong direction!"

"Shhh, keep your voice down!" Liu He didn't expect Zhang Fei to react so strongly, so he quickly pulled the two of them to sit down and discuss the matter of dispatching troops tomorrow.

Early the next morning, someone sent a letter from outside the tent, but it was left by Liu Bei. It turned out that he bid farewell to Yuan Shao last night and left the camp overnight.

The letter said that Wei Yan was seriously injured and needed to go back to recuperate, and worried that Sun Jian would threaten Nanyang, so he left first, leaving a letter for the inconvenience of disturbing late at night.

Liu He thought it must be Zhang Fei's voice that Liu Bei heard. He was guilty of doing things, and he really lost his troops. He suffered a lot of blows, so he withdrew in frustration.

Not long after, the Chinese army was promoted, and Yuan Shao didn't tell everyone the news about Hanoi, probably because he was afraid of affecting the morale of the army. Cao Cao took the initiative to invite Ying to fight, Liu He also followed suit, and the princes went out to form their camps again.

I saw a certain yellow canopy on the Hulao Pass, and tables and chairs were placed under it, and a huge fat man with long beard was sitting, who should be Dong Zhuo.

Under the closed door, Lu Bu had already led his troops out. A group of cavalry with bright armors and embroidered flags fluttering proudly glanced at the crowds of Guandong princes.

Zhang Yang boasted about Haikou yesterday and first asked Yuan Shao for orders to send his general Mu Shun to fight.

Mu Shun urged his horse to straighten his gun, and rushed straight to the front of the formation, but saw that Lu Bu had just hit his horse and took a few steps forward. He watched Mu Shun kill him coldly, then waved Fang Tianhalberd, shouted loudly, just a face-to-face, and sent Mu Shun was stabbed off the horse.

Everyone was shocked, Zhang Yang half-opened his mouth, and after being glared at by Yuan Shao, he retreated awkwardly behind the banner.

Cao Cao was about to send people to fight, but Kong Rong ordered one of his majesty to fly out with the hammer, and said proudly, "My general, Wu Anguo, once beheaded Zhang Ju and several thieves, and he will definitely get rid of Lu Bu."

Wu Anguo roared forward and hit Lu Bu with a hammer. Lu Bu looked slightly stern before he swung his halberd and slapped his horse to fight with him.

Just when everyone thought there was hope, Lu Bu backhanded him with a halberd, cutting off an arm. The hammer fell to the ground, and they fled in a hurry, no more than ten feet apart.

Lu Bu didn't chase after him either, he put the Fang Tianhalberd on the horse's back, took down the bow and arrow, aimed at Zhang Xian of Wu Anguo and fired it, everyone in front of the formation failed to remind him in time, the arrow hit the back of the heart, fell off the horse and died.

Lu Bu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, his expression became more and more arrogant, all the princes fell silent, the banners fluttered under the spring breeze, and the three armies shook.

Yuan Shao's face was pale, he looked at the head hanging on the key, took a deep breath, and asked through gritted teeth, "Who else can capture Lu Bu?"

Cao Cao originally wanted to send Xiahou Dun to fight, but when he saw how brave Lu Bu was, he had to turn his head to look at Liu He, signaling with his eyes that if he didn't send anyone to fight at this time, the allied forces would soon collapse.

Liu He nodded slightly, and raised his chin to Guan Yu who was beside him. Guan Yu stepped out from behind, clasped his fists and said, "The last general, Guan Yu, is willing to capture Lu Bu!"

Yuan Shao asked, "Could it be Guan Yunchang who beheaded Zhang Jiao?"

"Hahaha, that's the man!" Seeing that Liu He had finally dispatched a general, Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "Yun Chang has the courage of a million men, and he will surely capture and kill Lu Bu."

Although Yuan Shao didn't want Liu He to show off, he had no choice at this time, nodded and said, "General Guan will be invited to fight!"

"Obey!" Guan Yu walked out with his knife in hand.

"Wait a minute!" Cao Cao stood up, brought over a glass of wine poured on the table, and said: "Yun Chang, please drink this glass to the full."

Guan Yu caressed his long beard lightly, and said lightly: "Leave the wine, and it won't be too late to drink when XX comes back!"

"Great!" Cao Cao gave a thumbs up and praised Guan Yu for saving Cao Ang, Cao Cao respected him more and more

Liu He was stunned in his seat, Second Master, this time, he's going to play off!
