The sturdy figure of the red rabbit galloped in the wilderness.

Lu Bu rode on his horse and looked back, and Bishui Guan had already disappeared from view. He had been running for two hours, and according to the plan, he would gather with Zhang Liao and others in Gongxian, and then go straight to Luoyang to set fire.

But not long after he ran forward again, he noticed that something was wrong. There is still some distance from Gongxian County, but in the distance, I can see the smoke rising from the side of the road in front of me.

Lu Bu clamped the horse's belly, and soon drove the horse to the place where the smoke rose.

There was a raging fire burning beside the road, and the black pressure around the fire was full of soldiers, and when you got closer, you could hear the crackling sound. And these people turned out to be the defenders of Bishui Pass, what happened?

"What's going on! Zhang Liao! Can Zhang Liao be here? Lu Bu shouted loudly.

"General Lu! It's General Lu here! The soldiers cried out instantly.

"General Lu!" Zhang Liao heard that it was Lu Bu who arrived, and hurriedly walked out of the crowd, "General, you are not injured, are you?" ”

"I'm fine, what's going on?" As he spoke, Lu Bu pointed to the fire in front of him with his hand.

Zhang Liao and the other soldiers' heads slowly lowered. Lu Bu's heart tightened, because he had already seen clearly at this time that there were human corpses crackling in the firelight, and there were more than a hundred. He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Zhang Liao lowered his head, moved his gaze to the side, and whispered, "Yes...... It was General Hua Xiong, who was killed. ”

Lu Bu's head buzzed, and he almost didn't fall off his horse.

Zhang Liao raised his head and told Lu Bu what had happened......

……

The day before the decisive battle of Bishui Pass.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Liao led the defenders of Bishui Pass to escort the grain, grass and ordnance to retreat first, and there were only about 20 people left in the city, and these people would also withdraw immediately after Lu Bu left the customs the next day.

After marching for half a day, Zhang Liao saw the corpses all over the ground in front of him, and saw that the clothes were the defenders of Bishui Pass. Zhang Liao vaguely felt that something was wrong, and when he got off the horse, he saw that it was Hua Xiong with a distorted face lying on the car in the middle of the corpses everywhere. He did not have time to dig graves for so many corpses, so he had to order cremation.

"Do you know who did it?" Lu Bu's voice trembled and asked Zhang Liao.

"When we arrived here, we only had the corpses of General Hua and others, and we didn't see anyone else, just ......"

"Just what?"

"The person who attacked must be extremely vicious, and he actually ...... General Huaxiong actually pulled out General Huaxiong's heart. ”

Zhang Liao suddenly found that in the firelight, Lu Bu's eyes were bloodshot, and he could even hear Lu Bu gritting his teeth.

However, Lu Bu did not become as angry as he expected.

"The enemy army will soon catch up, you take the infantry to Luoyang first to set fire, and I will lead the cavalry to the rear."

Zhang Liao just wanted to say that he would let himself be cushioned, but he found that Lu Bu's fists were clenched and gurgling. So he didn't say anything more, got on his horse and led the cavalry to march to Luoyang immediately.

……

"Big brother, the princes are not in a hurry, why do you have to come out of this?" The horse galloped, and Cao Ren asked Cao Cao on the horse.

"The Kwantung princes, hmph, they all have selfish intentions, didn't you see their expressions when I borrowed troops from them. Although this alliance is a crusade against Dong Zhuo and the rescue of His Majesty, they all want to preserve their strength, and no one wants to do this. A group of fools, whoever can save His Majesty at this time is Qi Huangong! Tell the brethren to get to Luoyang before dark! ”

"Big brother! Is it useful for us to go in such a hurry, according to this way of running, even if we get to Luoyang, we will not have the strength to attack the city. On the other side, Cao Hong said. This Cao Hong's character is cheap, and he is also Cao Cao's younger brother.

"Lu Bu is in such a hurry to withdraw the army, I suspect that something has happened in Luoyang, no need to say more, speed up the march!"

"Yes!" Cao Ren and Cao Hong agreed, waved behind them, and signaled the team to speed up.

Lü Bu set fire to Bishui Pass and blocked the coalition forces. Fortunately, Bishui Pass was not far from the Yellow River, and Yuan Shao immediately ordered the troops to fetch water to extinguish the fire, and it took an hour to put out the fire. Cao Cao proposed to pursue them immediately, but Yuan Shao said that the troops were tired from the fighting for days, and ordered the troops to rest for a day at Bishui Pass.

Although Cao Cao was angry, he was not good at getting into trouble with Yuan Shao, so he had to borrow troops from various princes. Cao Cao assured that only cavalry would be borrowed, and his own infantry would remain in the coalition camp. However, all the princes refused in every possible way, only Bao Xin, Zhang Miao and Sun Jian were willing to lend their cavalry, and Sun Jian even assured that he would lead the infantry to set off later. Cao Cao had to lead less than 30,000 horses to pursue.

……

After running at full speed for more than two hours, Cao Cao finally caught up with Lu Bu.

There were 10,000 cavalry among Huaxiong's original 30,000 horses, and among the 50,000 brought by Lu Bu himself, there were 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry.

At this time, these 30,000 cavalry were already in formation around Lu Bu.

Cao Cao immediately said to Lu Bu: "Fengxian, Luoyang farewell, when you don't want to see each other again, you and I are already enemies." ”

"Meng De, listen to my advice, withdraw the army and go back, I really don't want to meet you in battle."

"In the past, Cao Mou once said first, if you and I are enemies in the future, Feng Xianche will take care of it. This is the end of the matter, and there is no need to say more. As he spoke, Cao Cao waved his hand behind him, and Cao Ren and Cao Hong each stepped forward with two generals, namely: Xiahoudun, Ziyuan Rang; Xiahou Yuan, the word is wonderful; Li Dian, the word Mancheng; Lejin, the word is humble. The four generals were all those who followed Cao Cao when Chen Liu's troops were raised.

Only listened to Cao Cao's order, Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan were on the left, Li Dian and Le Jin were on the right, each leading a cavalry to attack from both flanks at the same time, Cao Ren and Cao Hong led the Chinese army to charge from the front, and Cao Cao led the Chinese army to suppress the formation.

Lu Bu waved the halberd in his hand, and led 30,000 cavalry straight to Cao Cao's army.

The cavalry of the two sides quickly clashed, and from time to time someone fell off his horse, but before he could get up, he was trampled into mud by the war horse that came from behind.

Under the onslaught of Cao Cao's two flanks, Lü Bu's cavalry was quickly divided into three sections. These cavalry were newly recruited by Li Dao and others in Chang'an, although they were good among the recruits, they were still lacking in training, and after they were dispersed, they had no command, so they were like a plate of scattered sand.

When there are equal numbers, the quality of the soldiers is key. With the elite led by the fierce generals on one side and the scattered recruits on the other, there is no suspense in the battle.

Soon, some of Lu Bu's cavalry began to flee, this move seemed to wake everyone up, and a large number of soldiers began to flee, and some even surrendered directly. Soon, there were only a few thousand people left around Lu Bu.

"Fengxian, surrender, for the sake of the old feelings, I promise not to harm your life."

"Meng De, just as you didn't want to follow Dong Zhuo at the beginning, you didn't want to be with Yuan Shao below."

Cao Cao sighed and nodded at Cao Ren.

Cao Ren was about to give the order to attack, when he suddenly heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves from the north.

Including Lu Bu, everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

In the distance came two phalanxes, the vanguard in front was more than 700 cavalry, uniformly wearing jet-black armor, not only them, even the war horses they rode were mostly wrapped in armor, and the one running in front was holding a spear, and even his face was protected by armor. And these more than 700 people were in unison in the march, and none of them spoke, just rushed towards Cao Cao's side at high speed.

Behind them was a large army of cavalry and infantry, led by six generals, and at least thirty thousand horses.

Neither Lü Bu nor Cao Cao knew whose army it was. But in the blink of an eye, the seven hundred cavalry in the vanguard had rushed to the front.

The leader of the general put a spear, and the cavalry was like a sharp blade into Cao Cao's ranks. Unlike the general cavalry who charged noisily, they did not have any shouts or even superfluous movements, but simply tried to kill the enemy in the shortest possible time. Cao Cao's cavalry couldn't resist at all, and this mysterious group of men and horses broke through a gap and came directly to Lu Bu's side.

The leading generals stopped in front of Lu Bu, and more than 700 cavalrymen neatly led their horses and lined them up on either side.

I saw that the general slowly pushed up the mask with his hand, looked at Cao Cao with a confident smile and said, "Trapped in the camp, Gao Shun." ”

Lu Bu stared at him in surprise, while Gao Shun just turned around and smiled at Lu Bu, stretched out his hand and pointed at the large army coming behind and said, "General, the brothers have come to help you." ”

Lu Bu looked in the direction of his finger, and the 30,000 troops had stopped, and they were all familiar faces, it turned out that these were the old troops of Ding Yuan who were ordered by him to return to their hometowns. The six generals headed by Cao Xing, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng. It turned out that they had escorted Ding Yuan's body back to the countryside for burial since that day, and then did not disperse back to the village, but trained on time as usual, drilled the military formation, and inquired about Lu Bu's current situation.

Cao Xing and others learned the art of war, battle formations, and ordnance every day, and selected more than 700 skilled horseback riders to form the most well-equipped cavalry unit "Trap Camp", which was led by Gao Shun.

Not long ago, they learned that Lü Bu had only led 50,000 people to Bishui Pass to fight against the princes' army of hundreds of thousands. Although they were puzzled, they believed that Lü Bu must have his reasons, so they rushed all the way, but halfway through they heard that the Bishui Pass had been broken, and the princes were chasing Lü Bu in the direction of Luoyang, so they chased after him along the road again.

At this moment, Cao Xuan and the others were smiling, holding their blades and arching their hands at Lu Bu.

This sudden change made Cao Cao fall into passivity in an instant.

"Mengde! You go, I won't embarrass you. ”

Cao Cao's generals all looked at Lu Bu in disbelief, because Lu Bu had an absolute advantage at this time, and there was no reason to let Cao Cao leave.

But Cao Cao didn't seem surprised, and he gave up his hand at Lu Bu and ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Gao Shun and the others just stared at the horses and did not pursue again.

Cao Cao led his troops to retreat slowly, and said without looking back: "Fengxian, one day, this soft-hearted personality will kill you." ”

Xie Mengde reminded that Bu still said the same sentence: I am born dull in the next, and I am afraid that this is difficult to change. Lu Bu was expressionless, looked at Cao Cao's back and said.

"Hahahaha~~~~" In the distance, Cao Cao's laughter came.

Lu Bu patted Gao Shun on the shoulder and turned his head to look at everyone.

For a long time, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

……

Lu Bu, in his most embarrassing moment, reunited with his most trusted comrades-in-arms......
