"It turned out that Marquis Wen personally led the troops here." Liu Bei said.

Lu Bu said: "Knowing that the Qingzhou Army is extremely arrogant, I led the troops here to take a look. Now it seems that the Qingzhou Army is nothing more than that."

"Wen Hou's words are a bit exaggerated. The Qingzhou army is elite. It is not the Xuzhou army that can stop it. Wen Hou attacked Xuzhou. A chance to survive." Liu Bei said seriously.

Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "Xuande's words are completely wrong. The imperial court appointed him as Xuzhou Shepherd. Could it be that Xuande wants to fight against the imperial court's will? Or is it that Xuande has the idea of ​​occupying Xuzhou?"

Liu Bei was at a loss for words. At present, the officials of various states and counties are still appointed by the imperial court. Although the state shepherd has the power to appoint the officials below, he only appoints some insignificant official positions. For example, the prefect of a county must require the imperial court’s permission. Otherwise, it would not be justified in name.

Even if Yuan Shaobiao Cao Cao was the prefect of Dongjun, he had to go through the court of Chang'an.

"Xuande is very calculating. He wants to use cavalry to cut off the food supply of the general's army." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Liu Bei's heart moved, and he became more and more worried about Zhang Fei.

Kong Rong stepped forward and said, "Lv Bu, you are a courtier of the Han Dynasty, but you are seizing people's cities. What is the difference between you and a traitor? You should work for the stability of the great man, how can you act like this."

"Who is this?" Lu Bu couldn't help asking seeing Kong Rong's attire as a scholar.

Liu Bei said: "This is Kong Rong, Prime Minister of Beihai."

"So he was defeated." Lu Bu said disdainfully.

Kong Rong's face turned red. As a great Confucian in the world, he would be respected wherever he went. Unexpectedly, according to Lu Bu, he became a defeated underling.

"Vulgar, arrogant." Kong Rong cursed.

The Fang Tian painted halberd in Lu Bu's hand moved, and Liu Bei immediately became nervous. This was in front of the two armies. Once Lu Bu launched an attack, no one could stop him.

"I am a military general. I will not play tricks with you gentlemen. If you want to fight, you will fight. The iron cavalry under my command are already hungry and thirsty." Lu Bu said, "There is one more thing I forgot to tell you. The cavalry sent by the Qingzhou Army has already been wiped out for this general."

"Zhang Fei was captured alive, and now he is being held in the army."

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, the cavalry was the most elite part of the Qingzhou Army, and Zhang Fei was a fierce general in the army, but now the cavalry was destroyed, and Zhang Fei was reduced to a prisoner.

When Guan Yu heard Lu Bu's words, his slightly squinted eyes suddenly opened, and he shouted: "Shameless man, put back the third brother of XX."

"Guan Yunchang, is your brain not working well? After capturing Zhang Fei alive, why did you release him?" Lu Bu said, "Do you want the three of you to besiege this general shamelessly?"

Guan Yu's originally flushed face turned black. The Battle of Hulao Pass made Liu, Guan and Zhang famous among the princes, but after all, it was three people fighting against Lu Bu alone to win. Such a thing is not honorable.

"The traitor, dare to be so presumptuous in front of the battle, let's see how I will kill you." Guan Yu shouted, Qinglong Yanyue knife lowered, and mobilized the horse to attack Lu Bu.

Lu Bu sneered and said, "Guan Yunchang, you are also good at surprise attacks. If you fight head-on, any one of my generals can kill you."

"Rampant!" Guan Yu's long beard fluttered in the wind, his eyes full of anger.

The red rabbit horse moved, and its speed was better than Guan Yu's.

The red rabbit horse is the god of the world. How many generals look yearning when they mention the red rabbit horse. With the help of such excellent war horses, the generals can exert their own strength to a higher level.

The long knife contained full strength, and it went straight to Lu Bu, and the long knife was accompanied by bursts of piercing sounds.

With a flick of the halberd, it held Guan Yu's long saber firmly, and the halberd made a buzzing sound.

Guan Yu was also impacted by the force, his arms were slightly numb, and he looked at Lu Bu with more serious eyes.

The heavy long knife was as light as a feather in Guan Yu's hands, and every move contained great power.

Song Xian and Hou Cheng, who came with Lu Bu, couldn't help being taken aback when they saw this scene. Just by looking at the shape of the long knife in Guan Yu's hand, they could feel the powerful force coming towards them. It is a bit harsh.

The more so, the more Song Xian and Hou Cheng admired Lu Bu's martial arts. In the past, Lu Bu fought against Liu, Guan and Zhang alone.

After five rounds, Guan Yu's face turned red, and his moves were no longer as sharp as they were at first.

Guan Yu's saber technique emphasizes swiftness and strength, and he kills the enemy general with one blow by surprise.

However, Lu Bu's martial arts were so strong that he had no problem blocking the moves in front of him.

Liu Bei, who has been with Guan Yu for many years, is naturally aware of the weaknesses in Guan Yu's moves, so he immediately stepped forward and said: "Lu Bu, we are here with a large army under the order of the leader of the alliance. If you fight against the Qingzhou army, you are fighting against the leader of the alliance. .”

The leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao, has a high reputation among the princes, and many princes want to have a good relationship with Yuan Shao.

Guan Yu returned to Liu Bei's side, staring at Lu Bu with piercing eyes. If Liu Bei hadn't stepped forward to interrupt the battle between the two, his next situation would be more dangerous. Guan Yu understood Lu Bu's strength and exquisite moves. of.

Although it was not the first time that Guan Yu had fought against Lu Bu, Guan Yu still felt terrified when facing Lu Bu.

Lv Bu sneered and said, "Without Zhang Fei, Xuande became anxious. Could it be that the Qingzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army wanted to attack Xuzhou, so they couldn't capture them without their hands? The general didn't pay attention to mere Yuan Shao, relying on the reputation of the Yuan family , Commanding the princes of the world is a joke here, no matter who it is, as long as it comes, this general will never be soft."

"Someone, Yunchang, and Yide are sworn brothers, and love each other as brothers..."

Lu Bu directly interrupted Liu Bei's words, "If you want Zhang Fei to return to the army, you will need to see your sincerity."

Liu Bei scolded: "A certain is a courtier of the Han Dynasty, how could he be threatened by a traitor like you."

After all, this was in front of the battle between the two armies. If he bargained with Lu Bu, it would inevitably make the soldiers in the army doubtful, and maybe even Kong Rong would take precautions against him.

"In this case, let's fight. I will definitely kill you within ten minutes!" Lu Bu said, staring closely at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu is a master of swordsmanship, which can be seen in previous battles, and Guan Yu is good at grasping the situation on the battlefield. Whenever there is an opportunity, Guan Yu will be there. Such a general is definitely not a small trouble on the battlefield.

Chapter 90 Leave your heads for now

"Everyone is arrogant!" Guan Yu shouted with a shake of the long knife in his hand.

Liu Bei said in a low voice: "Lv Bu is here, don't compete with him, and make a decision after returning to the army."

Guan Yu stared at Lu Bu vigilantly, and rode his horse back to the main formation with Liu Bei.

Fang Tian raised his halberd, and thousands of cavalry took up bows and arrows one after another, ready to mobilize their horses to enter the Qingzhou army at any time.

Seeing this, Kong Rong's complexion changed slightly, and he hurriedly ordered the lieutenant soldiers to prepare.

The painted halberd swung forward heavily, and the rolling iron cavalry rushed to the Qingzhou army.

The cavalry charged, surrounded by boundless power. For a while, all the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army were in danger. Even if the cavalry did not come, they were already a little panicked uncontrollably.

After Liu Bei returned to the army, he immediately ordered the soldiers to fight.

However, with Lu Bu in the opposite army, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army were already panicked. Besides, Zhang Fei, a fierce general in Liu Bei's army, was captured alive for Lu Bu, which formed a big shock to the soldiers under his command.

Lv Bu rode his horse and swung his halberd, and charged into the Qingzhou army with a domineering posture. The soldiers of the Qingzhou army who stepped forward to block them had no enemy.

The galloping horses and the strength of the cavalry cannot be resisted by the infantry. Fortunately, this place is outside the camp of the Qingzhou Army. After the Qingzhou Army approached the camp, the cavalry under Lu Bu did not chase too much.

Seeing that the Xuzhou cavalry had stopped attacking, many soldiers of the Qingzhou Army expressed their gratitude. If they encountered such cavalry on the plain, no matter how many people the Qingzhou Army had, it would be difficult for them to win against the cavalry. The combat power of the people behind cannot be stopped by the number of infantry.

The brutal combat method and quick maneuvers are enough to entangle tens of thousands of soldiers to death on the battlefield.

"Leave your heads for the time being today," Lu Bu shouted.

None of the generals in the Qingzhou Army dared to step forward and reprimand Lu Bu. Lv Bu is a traitor in the mouth of the princes. So what? The current strength of Lu Bu is not comparable to that of the Qingzhou Army. That's all.

The Qingzhou army retreated into the camp, and Kong Rong's complexion was not very good. The reason why the Qingzhou cavalry cut off the Xuzhou army's food road was because of Liu Bei's plan. The battle is extremely unfavorable.

But Kong Rong also understood that Liu Bei also tried his best in this battle.

"Prime Minister, Bei did not expect that Lu Bu would dare to lead the cavalry to the counties at such a critical moment." Liu Bei said in a low tone. Zhang Fei's capture of Lu Bu alive was a thorn in his heart.

Kong Rong said: "Xuande needn't be anxious. Now that the leader is in charge of Jizhou, how could he allow Lv Bu's rebels to go on like this? There are many good soldiers and generals under the leader's command. As long as they come, Lu Bu will definitely be wiped out."

Liu Bei nodded, but his heart was deeply worried. Yuan Shao held righteousness, but Lv Bu's strength was strong. Liu Bei suddenly felt that it was impossible to drive Lv Bu out of Xuzhou just by relying on the strength of Qingzhou Army and Yanzhou Army. It is impossible.

Especially after the news on the battlefield came one after another, it gave people a shocking feeling.

In Xuzhou, which is in dire straits, miracles have happened in the hands of Lu Bu, but wherever Lu Bu leads the army, there will be victories one after another. This is the case in the battlefield of Yanzhou. The armies of Xiapi and Guangling also led the cavalry for Lu Bu. Simply and neatly defeated.

Now that Lu Bu appeared in the counties, it seemed that it was not good news for the Qingzhou Army.

"Minister of the State, since Lu Bu is in the counties, the Xuzhou army fighting against Yanzhou must be inferior in strength. Yanzhou Mu has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. After defeating the Xuzhou army, Lu Bu must be overwhelmed by the troops approaching the city." Liu Bei said.

Kong Rong said with a smile: "Xuande's words are true. Quickly order someone to inform the Yanzhou army of this matter. Our army only needs to hold Lu Bu back, and we will surely win."

Liu Bei bowed his hands and said yes.

The arrival of Lu Bu boosted the morale of the Xuzhou army, and after Lu Bu arrived, he immediately led the cavalry to fight, and the Qingzhou army fled.

For beheading the soldiers of the enemy army, you can get rewards. For a hearty victory, how much rewards will the soldiers of the army get.

If it were put in the past when Tao Qian was in charge of Xuzhou, they would definitely have doubts about Tao Qian's order, but Lu Bu was different. Lu Bu was a general.

"Congratulations to the lord for winning the flag." Zang Ba stepped forward and said, and the generals of the army stepped forward to congratulate.

Lu Bu said: "It's just a small victory, not worth mentioning. We will need to defeat the Qingzhou Army in the shortest possible time."

"Subordinates understand." Zang Ba clasped his fists and said.

Xuzhou is facing the attack of the Qingzhou and Yanzhou armies, and there is a rebellion inside. Lu Bu still keeps Xuzhou standing. It proves that Lu Bu is strong, but these alone are not enough to defeat all the troops that invaded Xuzhou. , Let other princes see what kind of price they will bear when sending a large army to attack Xuzhou.

At the same time, it also let Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao see that the Xuzhou army is not so easy to provoke.

Yuan Shu sent people to Xuzhou just to win them over. It also depends on whether Lu Bu can lead the Xuzhou army to show enough value. If not, why did Yuan Shu support Lu Bu.

Three days later, news about the situation on the Yanzhou battlefield spread among the Xuzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army.

When Lu Bu led the cavalry to leave, Zhang Liao led the Xuzhou army to defeat the Yanzhou army. Liu Dai could only stick to Fang Yu and dare not fight easily.

This situation of the battle was beyond everyone's expectations, and even some officials in Xuzhou were a little skeptical when they got the news.

With successive victories, the situation in Xuzhou gradually stabilized. Although many aristocratic families secretly opposed Lu Bu, when Lu Bu had the strength to rule Xuzhou, they would continue to follow behind Lu Bu. This is also the status quo of many aristocratic families.

In fact, unless it is absolutely necessary, the family will not stand on the opposite side of the ruler, which will put their family in a dangerous situation.

The official circles in Xiapi and Guangling were shaken, and the two places sent troops to attack Pengcheng. Such actions were absolutely intolerable to the monarch.

Xiapi Prime Minister Qin Si quietly left Xiapi and rushed to Jiangdong. In Xiapi, he could not see the hope of surviving. Even the family behind him will suffer in the turmoil in Xuzhou. The best choice Just leave Xuzhou.

After Qin Si left, Xiapi officials directly reported to the State Mufu, asking for forgiveness.

After Mi Zhu got the news, he immediately dispatched Mi Fang to Xiapi.

Chapter 91 Could it be that the Xuzhou Army intends to seek peace?

Xiapi is close to Pengcheng, which is a prosperous place in Xuzhou. If Qin Si, Prime Minister of Xiapi, defends the city, it will pose a big threat to the stability of Xuzhou. Qin Si leaves Xiapi in fear. All are good choices.

Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, recruited soldiers to strengthen the defense of the city.

The battle situation in Xuzhou attracted the attention of the princes.

No one expected that in their eyes, Lu Bu, who was nothing more than a tyrannical warrior, could win successive victories in Xuzhou's emergency. Judging from the current situation, Xuzhou will not be in danger, but will be able to make some breakthroughs .

The refuge of Prime Minister Pei Guo is the harvest of Lu Bu after this battle. Pei Guo is close to Changyi, the prefecture of Yanzhou. After Lu Bu occupies Pei Guo, there will be a barrier for the stability of Pengcheng, and it can threaten the safety of Changyi at any time. .

The court is not clear, the princes support their own troops, and if the princes want to develop their own strength, it is inevitable that there will be wars.

Qingzhou Yellow Turban attacked Bohai County and secretly linked Heishan Yellow Turban with great momentum. Gongsun Zan led an army of [-] to defeat the Yellow Turban and beheaded more than [-] people. Gongsun Zan led the pursuit and captured more than [-] Yellow Turbans.

Gongsun Zan had a close relationship with Yuan Shu, and sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue to serve under Yuan Shu's account.

However, when Gongsun Yue was helping Sun Jian to attack Zhou Ang, he was hit by a stray arrow and died on the battlefield.

Gongsun Zan was furious, and blamed Yuan Shao for Gongsun Yue's death, knowing that Zhou Ang was a supporter of Yuan Shao.

He led an army of [-] and stationed at Panhe to confront Yuan Shao.

At this time, Gongsun Zan's prestige was in full swing. He had elite cavalry under his command and defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. Under such power, how could Yuan Shao, who had just occupied Jizhou, fight against Gongsun Zan? After thinking about it, he appointed Gongsun Zan's cousin, Gongsun Fan, as Bohai The prefect wanted to reconcile with Gongsun Zan.

However, after Gongsun Fan arrived in Nanpi, Bohai County, he immediately raised troops to respond to Gongsun Zan, assisted Gongsun Zan's army to defeat the Yellow Turban, and stationed in Jieqiao.

Gongsun Zan also had the confidence to decide to break up with Yuan Shao. Compared with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan was more optimistic about the later general Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was the direct son of the Yuan family, and there were not a few princes who supported Yuan Shu.

Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai and some officials of Qingzhou supported Yuan Shao, but the soldiers and horses of the two states attacked Xuzhou, not only failed to win, but failed one after another in the hands of Lu Bu.

From this point of view, Yuan Shu's strength is still stronger, and Yuan Shao's occupation of Jizhou itself is to use Gongsun Zan, which makes Gongsun Zan feel dissatisfied with Yuan Shao for a long time.

Gongsun Zan was well-known in Youzhou, and even the orders of Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, did not have much effect on Yuan Shao, and Jizhou was shaken for a while.

After news of the battle between the Yanzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army, Yuan Shao planned to send a large army to help the Qingzhou Army. Gongsun Zan led the army to attack, which made Yuan Shao overwhelmed.

Yuan Shu stood up at this moment, denounced the actions of Liu Dai, Cao Cao, Kong Rong, Liu Bei and others, and supported Lu Bu's position in Xuzhou.

Yuan Shao's faction has been suppressed, and the war has not progressed. This is the best news for Yuan Shu. After losing the gold medal fighter Sun Jian, Yuan Shu will get a fierce general like Lu Bu. With Lu Bu in Xuzhou, he can firmly contain him. The armies of Qingzhou and Yanzhou provided support for his actions in Jingzhou and Yangzhou.

The so-called lords and allies have been unable to provide support for the Qingzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army in the battle of Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu's support for Lu Bu at this time will also become a key factor affecting the battle in Xuzhou.
