Ma Chao didn't know that he had driven Dong Zhuo crazy, in order to put pressure on Dong Zhuo to continue to mobilize the princes of the Eighth Road, promising to supply everyone with food and grass for a month, he sent 80,000 troops to the Tiger Prison Pass again to fight.

Dong Zhuo was in a hurry, and personally led Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, and Li Ru to lead 50,000 troops out of the customs to meet the battle. The two armies opened their formation, and Dong Zhuo took a few steps forward under the protection of Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu and scolded: "Ma Chao thief, you are a Hanchen but you are bent on bringing down the Han family, and the heart of disobedience is obvious, and it is the ambition of a wolf, and the old man would rather fight to die and break the net, and he will never let you succeed!" ”

Cao Ying, Qiao Mao and others immediately looked at Ma Chao when they heard this, their faces full of doubts. These princes are not fools, Dong Zhuo once sent his granddaughter Dong Bai to Yecheng to marry Ma Chao and was rejected, and unilaterally announced his marriage with Ma Chao in advance.

Ma Chao frowned, took a few steps forward and shouted: "Dong Zhuo old thief, you deceive the heavens and the earth, disrupt the country and kill the king, defile the palace ban, and kill the living beings, I will send troops to the king to eliminate the thief on the order of the Queen of Yongle, if you know each other, you will quickly hand over the Son of Heaven and all the ministers, otherwise my Kwantung Coalition Army will not give up!" At that time, not only will you Dong Zhuo be unable to escape the blame, but also the three clans and the generals of your subordinates, I would like to advise you to get lost and return as soon as possible, and don't be obsessed again! ”

Dong Zhuo was furious and shouted: "The thief deceives people too much! Listen to all the Kwantung princes, you have all fallen for the big thief of Ma Chao, the thief just wants to use the old man's hand to get rid of these stumbling blocks, how can the old man be fooled? When you quickly withdraw your troops and return to their respective territories, the old man will not only be not guilty of the past, but also have a great reward. If you continue to work hard for the thief here, sooner or later you will regret it! ”

The eight people frowned when they heard this, and the two of them insisted on their own words, and they didn't know who to believe, and their faces were cloudy. After this incident, even if they didn't believe Dong Zhuo's words, they would no longer believe Ma Chao, although there was no evidence, they couldn't help but doubt Ma Chao's intentions.

Ma Chao was annoyed in his heart, and shouted: "Dong thief Hugh wants to sow discord, you have repeatedly spoken out to frame Ben Hou, you really are not a son of man, and there will be a time when Ben Hou will use your head to shame!" After that, he turned around and shouted: "Who dares to go out to fight and cut off the head of the Dong thief!" ”

Huang Zhong slapped his horse forward, hugged his fists and said, "The last general is willing to go!" ”

Ma Chao nodded and shouted, "Drum cheering!" ”

The drums beat like rain and the horns sounded in unison, only forty-four-year-old Huang Zhong rode a yellow horse straight to the front of the two armies, holding a cirrus cloud knife and a 10,000-stone bow with him, and shouted: "Nanyang Huang Zhong is here, Lu Bu Pifu dares to go into battle to fight to the death!" ”

Lu Bu was furious, clenched his fists and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, Bu will immediately go into battle to lure out the Ma Chao thief and behead him!" ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and laughed: "Wu'er is brave and invincible, who in the world doesn't know?" If you can kill Ma Chao in battle, the old man will give you the post of general! ”

Lu Bu was ecstatic, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, father-in-law!" After that, the red rabbit horse came to the front of the two armies and shouted: "How can you be my opponent Lu Bu?" Hurry back and let Ma go out of battle, I was going to behead him! ”

Huang Zhong said angrily: "Unrighteous puppet, dare to despise me? If you want to fight with my father-in-law, you can beat Huang first! With that, he slapped the horse and slashed straight at the top of Lu Bu's head.

"Look for death!" Lu Bu's face was full of disdain, and he picked up Fang Tian's painting halberd to block this fierce knife, and under his carelessness, he only felt that his arms were in severe pain, and his mouth was numb, and he had already suffered a secret loss.

Turning around to fight again, Lu Bu was not angry but happy, and shouted: "The strength of the puff is not small, and this knife alone is qualified to fight with the general!" ”

Huang Zhong's knife has used ninety percent of his strength, and he knows that he can't help Lu Bu, so he can only seek victory in the knife technique, and now he uses the family knife technique to fight with Lu Bu in one place.

The two halberds exchanged knives, and the fight was not fierce, and in the blink of an eye, they fought for more than 50 times, but it was an equal game. The princes who watched the battle, as well as Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Zhang Xiu and others, were all surprised, but they didn't expect Huang Zhong, who had always been famous, to have such martial arts, and couldn't help but sigh that Ma Chao's subordinates were full of talents.

The more the two fought, the more courageous they became, the fight was inseparable, Lu Bu integrated attack and defense, and the halberd method was domineering. Huang Zhong defended the middle and led the attack, the knife technique was not leaky, and the offense was relatively weaker than Lu Bu, but the defense was only strong and not weak. In history, Huang Zhong, who was over sixty years old, could still fight with Guan Yu in his forties, and his martial arts were by no means general.

When they reached one hundred and fifty, the sharpness of the two was greatly reduced, and most of their physical strength was consumed, and the two sides began to think about each other when they saw that they could not win. Huang Zhong shook a knife, dodged and left. Lu Bu relied on the advantage of the horse's speed to catch up, picking up the halberd and stabbing when he was distracted.

At the last moment, I saw Huang Zhong suddenly come to an emergency stop, the war horse stood upright, and turned around and slashed out a lightning knife. This knife man borrowed horsepower, the horse helped others, and the knife was extremely powerful, and it was even the first to take Lu Bu's top door.

Lu Bu knew that he had fallen for the knife plan, and the halberd in his hand was pulled up, and the blade was forced to move three feet away with the crescent halberd method, and he escaped this fatal knife without danger, and he was shocked in his heart, but he laughed and said: "Can you earn me with a mere dragger?" ”

Huang Zhong took the opportunity to run more than fifty steps, his face was full of admiration, and he sneered: "'Lu Bu among the people, Red Rabbit among the horses' really lives up to its reputation, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner if we continue to fight, I don't know how we win or lose in the bow and arrow?" ”

Lu Budao: "This is exactly what I want! After that, he took fifty steps back, hung up the halberd, took out the dragon tongue bow, and waited.

Huang Zhong picked up the Wanshi bow and took out four wolf tooth arrows, but he fired four arrows in one arrow, two of which were false, sealing the direction where Lu Bu might be dodging; Two arrows are true, separating his throat and heart, and the castration is extremely powerful!

"Little Shuer!" While Lu Bu shouted, he shot a set of four arrows like lightning, not only shooting down the two feather arrows coming from the front, but also the two arrows with the strongest remaining strength went straight to Huang Zhong's chest and abdomen. But Lu Bu had just shot the fourth arrow when he noticed that something was wrong, and the feather arrows that were shooting to both sides slowly formed an arc from the air, straight to his shoulders. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and the lightning turned his waist and raised his shoulders to avoid it. Huang Zhong came to an iron plate bridge kung fu on the horse, and the two feather arrows went face to face.

"Good archery!"

"Good kung fu!"

"The general is mighty!"

The sergeants and generals of the two sides were completely impressed, and such wonderful archery skills were really unseen and unheard of, and they immediately cheered for them, and the voices of the people were boiling, the war drums were ringing in unison, and the necks of the soldiers who blew the horns were red, and they kept cheering for the generals of all sides.

The two fought for the first time with bows and arrows, and they secretly admired each other. Get out of the way a few steps, Lu Bu stood still, drew his bow and arrows, and every time he pulled the strong bow, three wolf tooth arrows roared out, all of which were directly at Huang Zhong's vital point, and the force was extremely strong.

Huang Zhong also tried his best, or Lianzhu, or in unison, or dodge, protecting people and horses, not only blocked this round of arrow rain without danger, but also caused huge trouble to Lu Bu every time he counterattacked.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them fought with bows and arrows for thirty or forty times, both of them are martial arts and unparalleled archery, and it is still difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. The soldiers on both sides were fascinated, and this kind of top-level battle against Mai Mang could only be seen by chance, and it was more exciting than the last chaotic battle. At the same time, the name of Nanyang Huang Hansheng also spread completely, and he became a fierce general who could fight with Lu Bu for more than 100 rounds without defeat.

Ma Chao was afraid that Huang Zhong would lose, and was about to stage a good show of charging the whole army, but he didn't know that the other party suddenly withdrew his troops, and the 50,000 army retreated into the Tiger Prison Pass like a tide. Although Lu Bu was unwilling, he could only retreat with the army with a halberd.

Ma Chao had the intention to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, but when he saw that the enemy army was retreating in an orderly manner, and there were a large number of archers behind him, he would definitely suffer heavy losses if he attacked rashly, so he let Dong Zhuo withdraw his troops.

When Huang Zhong, who was drenched in the Han Dynasty, returned to his own formation, Ma Chao said loudly: "Han Shengwu is brave, not weaker than Lu Bu, there should be a heavy reward!" This general will show you as a general Yangwei, with a rank of 2,000 stones, a reward of 100 catties of gold, a jade belt, and a brocade robe! ”

"Thank you, lord!" Huang Zhong was slightly excited, and he was grateful, after all, such a good opportunity to become famous was not easy to come by.

Ma Chao nodded, and said: "Zilong is also comparable to Lu Bu, and Ben will also have a heavy reward!" Zhao Yun listened to the seal! ”

"Mo will be!"

Ma Chao said: "Zhao Yun is brave and martial, comparable to Han Sheng, in the past, he said that he had great military exploits in Luoyang, and he would be a general of Zhenwei, with a rank of two thousand stones, a hundred catties of gold, a jade belt, and a brocade robe!" ”

"Thank you, Lord!"

Ma Chao was in a happy mood, and since then he has three miscellaneous generals under his command, namely Zhongjie General Pang De, Yangwei General Huang Zhong and Zhenwei General Zhao Yun. For example, Wang Shuang, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Chen Dao, Le Jin, Wen Ping and others also won the title of partial general or general Pei, all of which followed the military positions of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The generals under the princes of several roads saw that Ma Chao was rewarded in battle, and they were extremely envious, but Ma Chao was a hussar general and could open a government and establish an official, so he naturally had the qualifications to be a miscellaneous general. And their lord is either a county Taishou or a state assassin, and Cao Ying is just a martial general, who is qualified to be rewarded like Ma Chao.

The three brothers of Liu Bei behind Cao Ying had even more complicated faces, especially Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two of them also had a big battle with Lu Bu a few days ago, but they were just about to be in the limelight and were covered up by the charge of the whole army.

Ma Chao did not mention the retreat of the princes from all walks of life who were in a complicated mood, and said that after Dong Zhuo entered the pass, he immediately summoned Lu Bu, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, Li Ru and other generals, and said: "The princes of Kwantung are powerful, and the old man wants to carry out a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and leave Feng to lead 30,000 infantry troops to defend the Tiger Pass, and Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu each led 10,000 cavalry to quickly send troops to plunder Nanyang, Yingchuan and Runan, and they will definitely make the backyard of the Yuan brothers catch fire!" ”

"No!"

Dong Zhuo said again: "Wen You quickly sent someone to rush to Bishui Pass with the old man's tiger talisman, and ordered Hua Xiong to lead 30,000 infantry troops to hold out, and ordered Guo Yan and Li Su to lead 20,000 cavalry to kill Chen Liu, and the area of Dongjun will definitely grab back a large number of grain and grass materials in a short time!" ”

Li Ru nodded, and said: "The lord can also let Rongyang Taishou Xu Rong send troops to ambush in the area of Changshe, once the Yuan brothers return to the army to save themselves, they can ambush and inflict heavy losses!" (To be continued.) )
