Chapter 339: The Power of Thunder and Lightning

It is said that Lu Bu's army arrived at the western front of Puyang and set up a large camp. The camp has not yet been set up, and the Dragon Ball troops have already arrived in front of the walled army. The white butterfly helped Lu Bu to drape his whole body, the hundred flowers robe was like a little sun from the army, and Fang Tian's halberd was even brighter and golden. The red rabbit horse came out in a row, like a fire dragon horse descending from the heavenly realm, holding its head high and looking at everything. One man and one horse, came between the two formations, showing off their might.

Chen Long secretly admired, his legs competed, and the white horse under the seat gently flashed his hooves forward, this dragon and phoenix battle will come sooner or later, but it is a pity that his flying dragon horse and gentian bright silver spear are not around.

As early as outside Luoyang City, when Dong Zhuoqin was king, he had already fought with Lu Bu. At that time, Lu Bu pressed his steel gun with a halberd, and the pressure was like a mountain, which Chen Long still remembers vividly. Now his group rest skills are improving every day, his marksmanship has been taught by Tong Yuan, and the joint training with Zhao Yun and the actual combat training are improving almost every day, and the battle with Lu Bu also makes Chen Long's blood surge, who would have thought that he would travel to the Three Kingdoms and have a vigorous heads-up with the legendary god of war Lu Bu.

The group breath gong instantly ran to the limit, and the joints of the arm holding the steel gun clicked and exploded, and the true qi filled the back of the shoulder, and the muscles of each part bulged. The hundred-flower robe on the opposite side fluttered in the wind under the scorching sun, and behind it was the black-pressed Chen Liu's cavalry, and the war drums roared into the sky like heavy thunder. Long Chen's spirit locked onto Lu Bu and pulled out of the battlefield, and the world seemed to be left with only the painting halberd opposite. The tip of the halberd was upward, and suddenly moved, no, it was the red rabbit horse that moved, like a beast breaking out of the cage, and crossed the middle line between him in an instant, and the halberd suddenly drew a half-wheel-like arc, Lu Bu slowly merged his true qi into the halberd, and when the arc was about to finish, Chen Long suddenly felt a burst of murderous aura coming from the halberd, as if it had been fully stored.

It was a kind of detached and mysterious feeling, Chen Long was terrified in his heart, the power of Lu Bu's halberd was probably beyond his bearing. The speed of the red rabbit horse is too fast, there is no possibility for him to dodge, he can only resist to the death, and in a thought, the group breath gong is instantly covered with steel guns, and his hands are competing, and his eyes are closed, blocking the necessary route for Fang Tian's halberd to fall from the sky.

Da Feng first struck with all his strength, and there were a few people in the world who could resist hard, Lu Bu saw that the dragon ball didn't know what to do, as if he saw the tragic situation of the other party even the people and horses being shocked to death on the spot, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile a little. Fang Tian's halberd carried the anger of the scorching sun, like a thunderbolt ignition, and slashed into the middle of the steel spear in Chen Long's hand without stopping.

At the place where the guns and halberds were handed over, sparks burst in the air, and then there was a loud bang in Chen Long's ears, and two huge forces went straight to the seat and dismounted the horse along his arms, and the white horse couldn't help but pounce on his four hooves and knelt on the ground, almost killing him on the spot. Chen Long straightened his arms, feeling his bones shook, but he understood that if he retreated a little at this time, the halberd would inevitably split his head. True Qi rotated, and a steady stream of meridians between the shoulders and arms was continuously entered, the soreness and numbness quickly decreased, and the arms were refilled with strength, carrying the halberd at a distance of one foot outside the face door, like flowing water blocking the mountains.

Lu Bu struck with all his true strength, thinking that the seemingly mighty fat man on the opposite side would be killed with one blow, but he didn't expect that under the collision of two internal forces, although the dragon ball mount on the opposite side knelt down, his face was gray, but the halberd blade could not be advanced an inch in front of this person, and he was surprised in his heart, and suddenly felt that the true qi on the other side was familiar, and he couldn't help but recall the dark night outside Luoyang City. ”

As soon as the pressure in Chen Long's hand was lost, Bai Ma changed his tone and finally stood up on his own. Chen Long only felt a sharp pain in his right ear, gasped and handed the gun to his left hand, and wiped his right hand on the side of his right ear, and actually wiped the blood on his hand. Chen Long was shocked in his heart, Rao is stunt by his side, and he still shed the first drop of blood since his crossing in front of Lu Bu.

In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Lü Bu served in Bingzhou because of his bravery, and served as a cavalry lieutenant in Bingzhou, and stationed in Hanoi, and appointed Lü Bu as the chief bookkeeper, who was very close to him. After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Ding Yuan received a call from He Jin, led an army to Luoyang, plotted to kill the eunuchs, and was appointed as the ruling Jinwu. When He Jin was killed by the eunuchs, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, lured Lü Bu to kill Ding Yuan, and then annexed Ding Yuan's army, and appointed Lü Bu as a cavalry captain, swore to be father and son with him, and admired and trusted him very much. Lü Bu was good at riding and shooting, and his strength was outstanding, and he was known as the "flying general",[3] and was soon promoted by Dong Zhuo to Zhonglang General and was named the Marquis of Tingdu. [4]

Lu Bu promoted the statue

When the Kwantung Army raised troops against Dong, Lü Bu also participated in the war, but was defeated by Sun Jian because of discord with the general Hu Zhen, and finally Dong Zhuo coerced Emperor Han Xian to move the capital to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo knew that he was fierce and hated by others, so he often asked Lu Bu to be his guard and guard the middle cabinet; However, Dong Zhuo's personality is very suspicious, he once threw a halberd at Lu Bu because of a little frustration, and Lu Bu had an affair with Dong Zhuo's maidservant, I was afraid that Dong Zhuo would find out, so he was very uneasy. Before, because Wang Yun treated him with great courtesy because Lu Bu was a strong man in Bingzhou. Since Lu Bu hated Dong Zhuo, he went to see Wang Yun and told him how Dong Zhuo almost killed him. At this time, Wang Yun was conspiring with Shi Sun Rui, Yang Zan and others to get rid of Dong Zhuo, so he asked Lu Bu to respond. Lu Bu hesitated a little and said, "But it's a father and son, how can you start?" Wang Yun said: "The general's surname is Lu, and he is not his own flesh and blood, but now it is too late for you to save your life, what kind of father and son!" So Lu Bu agreed to Wang Yun, successfully assassinated Dong Zhuo, served as the general of Fenwu, faked the festival, and the three divisions of Yibi, entered the Wenhou Dynasty, and was in charge of the government with Wang Yun. [5]

Two months after Dong Zhuo's death, his old subordinates Li Dao and Guo Yan wanted to disband the troops and return to the fields, but on the way they met Jia Xu to offer a plan, gathered the old department, and invaded the capital, Lu Bu defended the city for eight days, because of the rebellion of the soldiers in the city, Lu Bu was defeated, so he led more than 100 cavalry and took Dong Zhuo's head out of Wuguan. During this period, Lü Bu once fought Guo Bi in the north of the city to decide the winner alone, Lü Bu stabbed Guo Bi with a spear, Guo Bi was rescued by the left and right armies, and the two sides then dismissed their own troops. [6]

Scramble for Yanzhou

Lü Bu first took refuge in Yuan Shu, but because Yuan Shu was dissatisfied with his self-reliance and was very arrogant and wanton plundering, he was rejected, so Lü Bu switched to Yuan Shao. At Yuan Shao's place, he joined forces with him to meet Zhang Yan in Changshan, and the Montenegrin army had more than 10,000 elite soldiers and thousands of cavalry. Lü Bu often rode a good horse named Chitu, which could leap over the city wall and fly across the trenches, and rode with dozens of his fierce generals Cheng Lian and Wei Yue to attack Zhang Yan's military formation, sometimes going three or four times a day, and each time he cut off the head of the Black Mountain army and came back. After fighting continuously for more than ten days, he finally defeated Zhang Yan's army. Relying on his military exploits, Lü Bu once again asked Yuan Shao to increase the army, but Yuan Shao did not agree, and Lü Bu's soldiers also robbed and plundered from time to time, and Yuan Shao began to hate him. Lu Bu felt uneasy, so he asked to return to Luoyang. Yuan Shao agreed to his request, appointed Lü Bu as a lieutenant in the name of the Son of Heaven, and sent a soldier to send Lü Bu to secretly get rid of him. Lu Bu suspected that Yuan Shao had his own idea, so he sent someone to play the kite in the camp tent and escaped quietly. In the middle of the night, the soldiers went out and slashed Lü Bu's bed, believing that he was dead, but the next day Yuan Shao received news that Lü Bu was still alive and ordered the city gates to be closed,[7] and Lü Bu was able to flee to Hanoi and join forces with Zhang Yang. Yuan Shao was worried that Lu Bu would be unfavorable to him, so he sent troops to chase and kill Lu Bu again, but those soldiers were afraid of him, and no one dared to approach when they caught up. [8] Passing through Chenliu on the way, Taishou Zhang Miao sent someone to greet Lu Bu and treat him lavishly, and when they parted, the two held each other's arms and swore to tie the knot. [9]

In the first year of Xingping (194), Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian to the east and sent the general Chen Gong, a native of Wuyang, to garrison Dongjun. Chen Gong took the opportunity to persuade Zhang Miao: "Now that the world is divided, heroes and heroes are rising at the same time, you have a team of 100,000 people, you are in a place where you can fight on all sides, and you can look at the world by your sword, you can be a hero among people, but you are controlled by others, isn't it too humble?" Now the army of Benzhou is crusading eastward, its land is empty, Lu Bu is a warrior, good at fighting, brave and invincible, take him to occupy Yanzhou together, wait and see the situation in the world, and wait for the changes in current affairs to improve, which can be a lifetime. Zhang Miao listened to Chen Gong's advice, and greeted Lu Bu with his younger brother Zhang Chao and Chen Gong and others, and asked him to be the pastor of Yanzhou, occupy Puyang, and respond together with the counties to which Yanzhou belongs. Cao Cao knew that he led the army to attack Lü Bu, the two armies faced each other, Lü Bu went out to fight, first sent cavalry to disperse the Qingzhou soldiers, Cao's army was in chaos, Cao Cao rode a horse to break through the siege, and burned his left palm. [10] Since then, the two sides have fought each other several times, holding each other for more than 100 days. At this time, there was a drought, and there were locusts to infest them, and there was not enough food, and there was a cannibalism. Lü Bu moved his troops to Shanyang and stationed them.

Three British battles against Lu Bu

In the second year of Xingping (195), Cao Cao recovered all the cities in Yanzhou and defeated Lü Bu in Juye, and Lü Budong fled to Liu Bei. Zhang Miao went to Yuan Shu for help, leaving Zhang Chao with his family and subordinates to guard Yongqiu. Cao Cao surrounded Zhang Chao for several months, killing Zhang Chao and the Zhang clan. Before Zhang Miao arrived in Shouchun, he was killed by his soldiers. [11] After Lü Bu met Liu Bei, he respected him very much and said to Liu Bei: "Your Excellency and I are both from the northern border. At that time, I saw the Kwantung Army raise troops and wanted to kill Dong Zhuo. But I killed Dong Zhuodong, but none of the Kwantung generals accepted me, and they all wanted to kill me. And asked Liu Bei to sit on the bed in the tent, and ordered his wife and concubine to salute Liu Bei, drink wine and drink, and call Liu Bei a virtuous brother. Liu Bei saw that Lu Bu's language was impermanent, and he thought it was true on the surface, but he was unhappy in his heart. [12]

Xuzhou Fengyun

In the second year of Xingping (195), Yuan Shu led the army to attack Xuzhou, and held on to Xuyi and Huaiyin with Liu Bei. After a month, the two sides won and lost each other. [14] Yuan Shu wrote a letter to Lü Bu, promising to send 200,000 Hu rice to induce him to attack Xiapi, so Lü Bu went east by land and water, and when the army arrived forty miles west of Xiapi, Liu Bei's Zhonglang sent Sima Zhangzhi to meet Lü Bu and revealed to Lü Bu that Zhang Fei and Cao Bao were fighting, and there was chaos in Xiapi City, and the Danyang soldiers were waiting for Lü Bu's arrival in Xibaimen City, so Lü Bu marched in a big way and arrived at the city in the morning. After dawn, the Danyang soldiers opened the city gate, and Lu Bu sat on the city gate, commanding the army to break Zhang Fei and capture Liu Bei's wife, concubines, children and the families of his subordinates. [15]

Lu Bu

At this time, Liu Bei was defeated by Yuan Shu and fled to Haixi, hungry and exhausted, and asked Lü Bu to surrender. Lu Bu was annoyed that Yuan Shu was no longer transporting grain, so he prepared carriages and horses to meet Liu Bei, let Liu Bei serve as the assassin of Yuzhou, and sent him to garrison Xiaopei. Lu Bu called himself Xuzhou Mu. [16]

In July of the same year, due to the fierce competition of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty returned from Chang'an to the east, passed through Hedong, and issued an edict ordering Lu Bu to welcome him. Since Lü Bu's army did not have enough food to serve the king, Lü Bu sent a messenger to apologize. The imperial court appointed Lü Bu as the general of Pingdong and made him the Marquis of Pingtao. [2]

In the first year of Jian'an (196), Yuan Shu sent the general Ji Ling to lead a total of more than 30,000 horses to conquer Liu Bei, and Liu Bei asked Lü Bu for help. Lu Bu's generals said: "General, you have always wanted to get rid of Liu Bei, and now you can use Yuan Shu's hand to get rid of him." Lu Bu said: "That's not the case, if Yuan Shu occupies Xiaopei, he will unite the troops around Mount Tai in the north, and we will be surrounded by Yuan Shu, I can't help but save Liu Bei." So he led 1,000 infantry and 200 cavalry, and hurried to Xiaopei. When Ji Ling and the others heard that Lu Bu had come to the rescue of Liu Bei, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops and did not dare to act rashly. Lu Bu set up camp one mile southwest of Xiaopei, and sent guards to invite Ji Ling and other generals, and Ji Ling and others also invited Lu Bu to drink together. Lu Bu said to Ji Ling and the others: "Xuande, is my Lu Bu's virtuous brother. Now that he is surrounded by all of you, I have come to save him. I, Lu Bu, don't like to watch others fight each other, I only like to resolve disputes for others. Lu Bu ordered the gate to erect a halberd in the camp gate, and said: "Look at the small branch on my halberd, if it is fired, you should immediately stop the attack and leave here, if you miss, then you will stay and fight Liu Bei to the death." He drew his bow and fired an arrow at the halberd, which hit the small branch. The generals were shocked and praised, saying, "General, you are really as powerful as a god!" The next day, Lu Bu had a banquet with the generals, and then returned to their respective troops.

In the middle of the night of June in the first year of Jian'an (196), Hao Meng, a native of Hanoi, was instigated by Yuan Shu to launch a rebellion, and led his troops to attack Lu Buzhi's Xiapi, the city was well defended and could not be attacked, Lu Bu did not know who was rebelling, and led his family to flee to Gao Shun's camp, Gao Shun asked: "Is the general hidden?" Lu Bu replied: "This is the voice of the Hanoi people." Gao guessed that it was Hao Meng who rebelled, so he led his troops to Xiapi to quell the rebellion, and the bow and crossbow were fired to kill Hao Meng's army, and the camp returned at dawn. "Shufu Yuan Turtle" records that Lü Bu and Gao Shun went together to quell the rebellion.
