The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

Lu Bu's army was invincible, and they broke through the natural dangers of Hangu Pass and Tongguan. Their reputation was great, and they were approaching Chang'an.

The fast horses from all sides, like falling snowflakes, rushed to warn Dong Fei to attack Hanzhong.

It was the fourth year of Huangchu in the Wei Kingdom (AD 210). During the court meeting in Xuchang, Wei Emperor Cao Pi worshiped Cao Zhen as the governor and sent troops to attack Luoyang.

Cao Zhen was determined not to accept it: "I have little talent and poor intelligence, and I am suffering from diseases. I am not qualified for my job and I am afraid that I will disgrace my mission."

Cao Pi refused, "You are a clan member of the Wei Dynasty. Now Luoyang has been lost, Lu Bu has become a big problem, and the Wei Dynasty is in trouble. If you are not willing to serve as the governor, do you want me to conquer it myself?"

Sima Yi said from the side: "The general is the adopted son of the late king. He has fought with the late king in the south and north for many years. He is an important minister of the country. In times of crisis, you must not stand still. Now Lu Bu's army is sending troops to Chang'an, and Luoyang's defense is empty. It is the time for a conquest. I am willing to fight with him The generals will go out together to recapture Luoyang."

Cao Zhen finally made up his mind and recommended his younger brother Cao Zun to go on the expedition together.

The Emperor of Wei then gave Cao Zhen the Governor-General Jieyue, appointed Sima Yi as military advisor, Yu Jin as the vanguard, Cao Zun, Sun Li, Zhu Zan, and Xu Ta as deputy generals, and a hundred thousand troops marched to Luoyang.

Lu Bu's army formed a formation east of the Weishui River, preparing for a battle with the Qiang soldiers.

Guarding Chang'an are Ma Chao and Bu Dugen. Ma Chao had seen Lu Bu's bravery when he was a boy, and he also understood that Lu Bu and the Xiliang Army were inextricably linked. Bu Dugen hated Lu Bu deeply. It was precisely because of Lu Bu's conquest of Xianbei that he now became a minister of the Qiang people. The desire for revenge in his heart became more and more intense, and he was about to go out of the city to fight Lu Bu to the death.

Ma Chao persuaded Bu Dugen: "Lu Bu has become famous all over the world thirty years ago. He is brave enough for thousands of men and is known as the God of War of the Han Dynasty. Now he is leading an army to attack Chang'an. Our army should still focus on defense." host."

Bu Dugen said: "I have heard for a long time that the Xiliang army is the best soldier in the world, and Ma Chao is the number one warrior in the Xiliang army. Now the enemy is approaching the city, but we are afraid of the enemy and refuse to advance. What's the reason?"

How could the thirty-five-year-old Ma Chao let Bu Dugen look down on him, so he decided to go out of the city to fight Lu Bu.

The two armies were in battle formation. The spring was still light in the mountains and fields. Under the golden sunshine, the flags of the Han army and the Qiang army were flying, and their armors were shining. The lineup of hundreds of thousands of people was spectacular.

Only the sound of the three-tone drum was heard. When the soldiers of the two armies heard the drum sound, they immediately put away their swords and guns. This was the drum sound agreed upon by the generals of both sides before the war began.

"This Qiang army's formation is really majestic. There are about 100,000 people." Lu Bu ordered the formation gate to be opened. Zhao Yun and Chen arrived to guard the left and right sides. Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse out of the military formation, faced the front of the enemy formation and shouted: "The Han general Lu Bu is here, the enemy generals come out quickly and die!"

The flags of the Qiang soldiers waved, and they saw a white-robed general, riding his horse slowly forward. It was Ma Chao.

When Lu Bu saw that the visitor was Ma Chao, he exchanged greetings: "Meng Qi, it has been twenty years since we parted ways in Luoyang. You have also grown from a young boy to a general commanding ten thousand people. Time flies."

Ma Chao clasped his hands in his fists: "The general's demeanor is still the same. When he was young, he has been flaunting himself as a general in his life. He is bound to do something grand and grand."

Lu Bu smiled contemptuously and said: "The big thing you are talking about is helping foreigners, invading the territory of the Han Dynasty, and killing the people of the Han Dynasty?"

Ma Chao was speechless and could only listen to Lu Bu's scolding silently.

Lu Bu then said: "The Ma family has been loyal to the Han Dynasty for generations since General Fubo, but now you are working for the Qiang people. How is it? I advise you to quickly disband and surrender, so as not to lose your loyalty."

Ma Chao said: "The general knows that boxing is afraid of young people. Now the general is in the age of knowing his destiny, and I am in the prime of life. I advise the general to withdraw his troops and return to Hebei. We will not attack each other."

Although Lu Bu was fifty years old, he could still pull a bow of one hundred and twenty stones, and could eat five bowls of rice at a meal. His ambition was still there. He raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and said, "It's useless to talk more, take action." Bar."

Ma Chao also raised the Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Gun in his hand and mobilized his horses to advance. The number one and number two fighting generals in the world are destined to go down in history.

Lu Bu wielded Fang Tian's painted halberd and continued to attack. Ma Chao had practiced martial arts hard for the past twenty years, and now his defense was airtight with no flaws. The two fought for thirty rounds, regardless of the outcome.

Lu Bu thought to himself: "Ma Chao's martial arts must be close to the state of transformation. I'm afraid it will take Lily to decide the winner. Chitu is already an old horse and I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand such a long struggle."

Ma Chaoyue and Zhan Yueyong are more and more brave. He has been determined to defeat Lu Bu since he was a boy. In the past twenty years, he has visited famous teachers all over the world and studied martial arts hard, just to defeat Lu Bu on the battlefield one day and become the best in the world. And now he is In his prime, there is still room for improvement in martial arts.

After another twenty rounds of fighting, Lu Bu exploited a flaw and retreated. How could Ma Chao miss the opportunity and mobilize his horses to pursue him?

Lu Bu took off his precious eagle bow, turned around, and shot a sharp arrow through the air. Although Ma Chao had taken precautions, he still couldn't block Lu Bu's arrow. His left shoulder blade was shot through, and he fell off his horse in unbearable pain.

Lu Bu deliberately spared his hand and did not take Ma Chao's life, just to surrender this tiger general. He rode his horse back, lifted Ma Chao up with one hand, and threw him into the army. Chen Dao immediately ordered to capture Ma Chao.

Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's painted halberd above his head. This was the signal for the whole army to charge into the formation. The Bingzhou cavalry waved their spears and charged at the enemy.

The Qiang soldiers lost their leader and retreated one after another. Countless people were trampled to death. The drawbridge of the city gate had no time to rise. Tens of thousands of people retreated at the same time, temporarily blocking the city gate and unable to close it.

Lu Bu led the Bingzhou army like chopping melons and vegetables. In an instant, the Qiang soldiers fell to pieces.

After entering Chang'an, Lu Bu ordered not to harass the people, but to eradicate the evildoers of the Qiang people. Lu Bu personally led his troops to kill the palace. At this moment, he hoped that the emperor was still in the palace.

Bu Dugen had already withdrawn, and the remaining Qiang soldiers were leaderless and became the victims of the Han army. Lu Bu did not allow them to surrender. Lu Bu always had only one idea when dealing with foreigners, which was to kill them all.

Two hours later, all the 100,000 Qiang soldiers in Chang'an had been killed, and the Han army had also suffered 20,000 casualties. Following his past practice, Lu Bu collected the bodies of the Han soldiers who died in battle and built a monument to the heroes of the Han Dynasty. The heads of the Qiang soldiers were cut off and built into a monument in front of the monument.

Lu Bu found the imprisoned Liu Xie and Queen Fu in the secret room of the palace. On the one hand, he asked Zhao Yun and Chen to clean up the scene and appease the people. On the other hand, he personally prepared for Liu Xie's restoration ceremony. After all, Liu Xie's body had left With the blood of the emperor, even if he has no talent or virtue, he is still the legitimate emperor of the Han Dynasty.
