In ancient times, once one side knew that they could not beat the other, they would hang up the free battle card, so that they had time to study the countermeasures or find help. And usually most of the people who hang up the war-free card are the defenders of the city, of course, they hide in the city because they can't beat it.

Hanging up the no-fight card doesn't always work, and this method only works for opponents who follow benevolence. Of course, Dong Zhuo is not a good thing, and he naturally will not abide by this unspoken rule, but now the vanguard is Lu Bu, and Lu Bu defected to Dong Zhuo in order to seek an opponent, so naturally he will not regard benevolence and righteousness as harsh. However, for the princes' approach, Lu Bu was very much in agreement.

Because, Lu Bu knew that now the princes are exempt from battle because there are no generals who can match him, in this case, the morale of the coalition army is low, and it is extremely unfavorable in battle, which is the preciousness of a peerless fierce general in the army. He is a spiritual pillar, as long as he does not fall, then the low soldier has the belief of victory, so that his morale will be greatly increased.

Even if no matter how brave the generals are, they can't defeat thousands or tens of thousands, but his survival is enough for an army of 100,000, which is why monarchs love to look for fierce generals.

Therefore, now the princes must go to find Xun Meng to face off against him Lu Bu. Lu Bu also believed that the Eighteenth Route Coalition Army would definitely have fierce generals, so after the coalition army hung up the exemption card, he set up camp before returning to the Tiger Prison Pass.

Could it be that there is no one among the Eight Roads who can compete with Lu Bu? This is obviously impossible.

At least, there is a candidate in the hearts of the eight people. Yes, it is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, who is nine feet long, two feet long, Danfeng eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, and his face is like a heavy jujube. Guan Yu Sanhe killed Hua Xiong that day, and the princes still remember it vividly. It's just that at that time, because of Yuan Shu's disturbance, everyone broke up unhappily. Now I want to invite Guan Yu to fight, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. Besides, they are all too guarded or assassinated, if they ask Liu Bei's small county order for help, they are afraid that they will be ridiculed, and it is precisely for this reason that the princes directly ignore Guan Yu, a fierce general.

At the moment, after some discussion, someone reported to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was responsible for the rescue of the people, and now it was the time to need his help.

In Liu Da'er's camp, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang sat on the ground. Liu Bei's face was solemn, Guan Yu stroked his long hair, Zhang Fei was the most hot, and he was scolding Lu Bu in his mouth.

"Big brother, those three family slaves are so rampant, they listen to the soldiers all day long, and I Zhang Fei has long wanted to meet him for a while. The princes of the Eighth Road, who did not have a good general, were unexpectedly hung up by the fighting card. It's really a bunch of wretchedness, it's better to let me fight, and I must kill the three slaves who kneel and beg for mercy. ”

Guan Yu stroked his long-haired right hand lightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said with a smile: "Hehe, third brother, Lu Bu's strength is extraordinary, if you can kill him to kneel and beg for mercy, the second brother will recognize you as the second brother, how about it?"

"Hey, hey!"

The rough Zhang Fei had a rare trace of shame on his face, and said with a dry smile: "Second brother, I naturally have self-knowledge, and there is no problem in fighting for three hundred rounds." It's just that seeing such a master, my hands are itching, and I have long wanted to fight with him. ”

"That's what I thought in my heart!"

Guan Yu said leisurely that as a military general, you have self-knowledge. Although he knows that he is no match for the other party, if the other party provokes, he will naturally have to fight. However, a very important premise is to understand the gap between the two sides. Although Zhang Fei has a rough personality and looks extremely arrogant, he still knows the gap between himself and Lu Bu. And Mu Shun, the general of the Zhang Yang Department, is obviously not wise enough, he can't see Lu Bu's strength clearly, not to mention, he still wants to step on the prestige of others.

After Guan Yu sighed, he asked Liu Bei puzzled: "Brother, now that Dong thieves are rampant, Lu Bu is a tiger, and now the Eighth Route Army can't be saved because of Lu Bu alone, why doesn't my brother let me fight with my third brother?"

"Big brother, what the second brother said is very true, if the three of my brothers join forces, how can they all be slaves with three surnames?"

"Alas!"

Liu Bei sighed heavily, and explained helplessly: "The second brother and the third brother, if today's son is covered in dust and falls into the hands of Dong thief, I am also anxious. However, what kind of treatment did you get when you killed Hua Xiong that day? It was not for my brother to remember these merits, but for my brother to save the Son of Heaven from Dong Thief. If the second brother and the third brother go to war today, or they can retreat from that Lu Bu, but what will the princes think? They have no one under them to defeat Lu Bu, but now the second brother and the third brother have killed Lu Bu, won't it make their faces disgraced? At that time, you and I brothers may be in danger of their lives, and there will be no chance to serve the country in the future. Therefore, for the brother to endure and wait. ”

"The elder brother sees it, but I and the second brother are not clear, if it is not for the elder brother's words to wake up, I and the third brother are causing trouble for themselves for a while. Without the order of my elder brother, my third brother and I will not go to war. ”

"Big brother, I'm the same as the second brother, I listen to you every time. Speaking of which, those princes are useless, hum!"

……

Let's say that the information of the fast horse general sent by the Eighth Route Alliance Army was sent to Cao Cao, and after hearing the news, Cao Cao frowned. In his mind, there would have been no problems on the side of the Tiger Prison Pass, the Eighth Route Army, as well as the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, even if Lu Bu was powerless, and on the other hand, Yuan Shu's side attacked the Bishui Pass was the most difficult, if Li Xun and Guo Yan held on, they might not be able to move an inch.

However, it is the Tiger Prison that is the first to go wrong.

With just a little contemplation, Cao Cao knew what was going on in the minds of these people. I hate these people in my heart, but I don't care about the country's righteousness, and I disregard the fierce generals for the sake of some fame. However, if he hadn't issued an edict, how could Cao Cao, who was a wanted criminal in the imperial court, be the deputy leader of the alliance. Therefore, even if he is unhappy, he cannot command these princes, and even if he gives orders, they may ignore them.

"Come, spread the word that they will come to our camp to discuss the military situation. By the way, also inform that Yuan Sima. ”

Although Cao Cao wanted to strangle Yuan Chang to death in his heart, he also knew that Yuan Chang was sent to his side by Yuan Shao. If there is any situation that is not explained to Yuan Chang, it will reach Yuan Shao's ears at that time, even if he is not afraid of Yuan Shao, it will also have an impact on Dong Daye, in order to rescue the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao is now forbearing.

After Bao Xin, Yu Ban, and Cao Cao's generals, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Yuan Chang arrived, Cao Cao gave a detailed account of the battle in front of the Tiger Prison.

Everyone heard that Lu Bu was brave, and their faces moved, only Yuan Chang's expression remained unchanged, this had long been expected by him, the three peach brothers did not come out, how could they defeat Lu Bu? Zhao Yun, who was standing next to Yuan Chang, had a look of understanding, it seemed that everything was the same as what Yuan Chang said, and that Liu, Guan, and Zhang could fight.

Cao Cao saw Yuan Chang's face, and thought of what Yuan Chang said earlier that he wanted to see, but he thought that he didn't know the height of the sky. Therefore, I didn't think much about it.
