Guan Yu stopped talking nonsense, and fought with Lu Bu with a knife. Guan Yu's knife technique is proficient, his strength is not bad, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife is like a storm, and the knife directly takes Lu Bu's vital point. After two fierce battles, Lu Bu's body obviously declined, and after dozens of rounds of fighting, he gradually felt powerless.

This three-British battle against Lu Bu is really a rare good show, and the onlookers are stupid.

Liu Ze was a little puzzled, it is said that Lu Bu also claimed to have eight strong generals such as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun under his command, so many vicious battles, but he was always supported by himself, could it be that these eight strong generals were not by his side? Thinking about it, there can only be this explanation, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals may not have attached to Lu Bu at this time, or they may only be in a lower rank and only serve as a junior colonel in the army, and there is no possibility of showing up at all.

At this time, Lu Bu couldn't help but look back at the head of the Tiger Prison City, and the flags on the wall were full of swords and guns, but no one was willing to go out of the gate to meet him. Lu Bu sighed dejectedly, Fang Tian's halberd swept away Guan Yu's Qinglong Glaive Knife, he restrained Ma Lang and said, "It's hard to distinguish today, just quit the army, how about fighting again tomorrow?" ”

Guan Yu was not pressed, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then fight again tomorrow!" ”

Lu Bu led the wolf to ride back slowly, orderly and unhurried. In order to prevent the pursuit of the archers, Lu Bu densely protected the shields of the rear team into a shield wall.

Pan Feng said to Liu Ze: "Lord, the enemy army has retreated, do you order a pursuit?" ”

Liu Ze watched the wolf rider retreat slowly, shook his head and said: "No need, although the wolf rider retreated, the formation was rigorous, and there was no flaw in it, so it was useless to chase it." ”

Although there was no movement on Liu Ze's side, there were people in the coalition who wanted to pick up ready-made cheap. Seeing that Lu Bu's wolf cavalry retreated, Yanzhou Assassin Shi Liu Dai and Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao's two lines of soldiers and horses came out together, and attacked Lu Bu's rearguard troops.

Lu Bu sneered contemptuously, Liu Ze's archers were his biggest fear, and when he saw that the archers did not chase him, Lu Bu was in a big mood, and he didn't look at the other princes' chicken-like armies at all, commanding the wolf to ride a counter-charge, and pounced fiercely.

At the slightest contact, Liu Dai and Zhang Miao's army was immediately defeated. The wolf riders were constantly pressed and beaten by the archers. I was depressed for a long time, but at this moment it has completely become the moment for them to vent their anger, and they vented all their anger on Liu Zhangbu's body, and they were killed all over the field and blood flowed like a river.

Liu Dai and Zhang Miao saw that the situation was not good. The few cavalry with them turned and fled. Lu Bu did not pursue. Gather the team. Slowly retreat into the Tiger Prison.

Relying on Liu Ze's archers and cavalry to show their might, today's battle finally ended in a draw, so that the coalition forces would not lose face. However, half of the casualties of Bao Xin's and Zhang Yang's troops were killed. Liu Dai and Zhang Miao's troops also suffered heavy losses, and among the coalition forces, everyone was afraid when they heard Lu Bu's courage and wolf riding, and they talked about the tiger's color.

After Lu Bu returned to the city, he was also depressed, this battle was the first battle since he joined Dong Zhuo, and it was also a battle that he was eager to prove himself, originally with the power of the wolf horse, it was just a piece of cake to win the Kwantung coalition army, but he killed Liu Ze halfway, so that his wolf rider suffered enough and suffered heavy losses. What's even more depressing is that Liu Ze's subordinates are not only powerful archers, but even Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu who fought are ruthless characters.

Originally, Hu Zhen's position on this expedition pressed him, which made him very unhappy, but thinking about the fact that he had not been established an inch after joining the Xiliang Army, and only relying on Dong Zhuo's favor was he named Zhonglang General Du Tinghou, many veteran generals of the Xiliang Department, including Hu Zhen, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, had long been unconvinced, and he could only accept it silently. This battle will be a chance for him to make a name for himself in the Xiliang Army, but after a hard day, the outcome disappointed him.

Thinking about going back and seeing Hu Zhen's mocking and contemptuous eyes, Lu Bu was extremely depressed when he thought about it.

As soon as he entered the city gate, he found a team of Xiliang soldiers escorting Li Su to move forward, Li Su was tied up by Wuhuada, saw Lu Bu, and shouted: "Brother Feng Xian, save me!" ”

Lu Bu was shocked and asked urgently.

Li Su said hurriedly: "I saw Brother Feng Xian trapped by the princes of Guandong above the city, so I wanted to raise troops out of the city to rescue, but Hu Duhu ordered not to open the city, I was concerned about the safety of Brother Feng, and Hu Duhu argued a few words, and he was arrested in the name of disobeying military orders, and wanted to cut me off, begging Feng Xian to save me!" ”

Lu Bu was furious, this Hu Zhen was really too deceitful, and immediately ordered a few soldiers not to behead Li Su, and he went straight to the top of the Guan Tower to find Hu Zhen to negotiate. As soon as he saw Hu Zhen, Lu Bu asked with a scowl in his face: "General Hu, what crime did Li Su commit and should be sentenced to death?" ”

Hu Zhen looked at Lu Bu, snorted lightly, and said leisurely: "Li Su has no military discipline, disobeys military orders, and leaves the city without authorization, this official has long made it clear that in order to rectify military discipline, even if he kills a green ribbon, he will not hesitate, the military law is strict, how can it be child's play, Li Su is to blame!" ”

Lu Bu laughed angrily and said, "Lu Mou also went out of the city to meet the enemy, and General Hu beheaded Lu Mou and Li Su together!" ”

"How dare you, General Lu is the first celebrity in front of Xiangguo, how dare Hu surrender? In other words, General Lu returned triumphantly today, should he report his victory to Xiangguo? Hu Zhen said unhurriedly.

Lu Bu had an angry face, how could he not hear the irony implied in Hu Zhen's words, he snorted heavily, and said: "Even if Lu Mou is not victorious, today he will kill the enemy at the 10,000th level, and he will go out of the city tomorrow to fight again, and he will take Yuan Shao's head!" ”

"Tomorrow?" Hu Zhen raised a scroll of brocade silk in his hand, and said contemptuously: "On the orders of Xiangguo, defend the Tiger Prison Pass, and those who dare to speak out will be killed!" General Lu, this is Xiangguo's handwritten message, take a look! ”

Lu Bu took it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was an edict written by Dong Zhuo himself, Hu Zhen's guy was really insidious, and he reported his invincible flight to Dong Zhuo, so he asked for this edict. He fought desperately and independently with hundreds of thousands of troops and horses of the coalition army in front of the Tiger Prison Pass for a day, but Hu Zhen did not send troops to reinforce him, but betrayed him in front of Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation, burning with anger, and shouted: "Today, Lu Mou's 3,000 men and horses are fighting hundreds of thousands of Kwantung princes alone, and General Hu is just watching from the wall, looking at Lu's jokes, what is the reason?" If General Hu was willing to lead his army out of the city, the Kwantung princes would have collapsed long ago, and Yuan Cao's head would also be in his pocket! On the merits, I will judge Xiangguo and let him decide! ”

Hu Zhen sneered: "Guarding the Tiger Prison Pass is the duty of this official, if you lead the army out of the city, if you are attacked by the enemy and lose the pass, this official will be guilty." You, General Lu, are brave and brave, do not obey the general's orders, and insist on going his own way, which led to this defeat, and you can explain it yourself in front of Xiangguo, so the official is too lazy to pay attention to you. ”

"You-" Lu Bu's eyes widened with anger.

Hu Zhen ignored Lu Bu's mood at all, and said coldly: "You, General Lu, are the cavalry governor, and this official naturally can't decide your life and death, but Li Su disobeyed the military order and had no military discipline, and the official will not be pardoned today!" ”

Lu Bu stepped forward and straddled in front of him, glared at him angrily and said, "If you want to behead Li Su, you will take Lu Mou's head first!" Lu Bu turned his face directly with him, Lu Bu was originally a head taller than Hu Zhen, and the anger emanating from his body at this time was even more imposing, and the coercion made Hu Zhen a little unbearable.

Seeing that the main and deputy marshals had fallen out, the deputy general Zhao Cen hurriedly persuaded him: "The two generals are angry!" At the moment of the great enemy, the two generals must not hurt the peace. Although Li Su violated the military order, he was not guilty of death, so why didn't General Hu pardon him and let him make meritorious service for his crimes? ”

Hu Zhen just wanted to frustrate Lu Bu's spirit, and he didn't want to make the relationship too stiff, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not be able to make a difference. With Zhao Cen persuading him, he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.

"Li Su's disobedience to the military order was originally a capital crime, and for the sake of the generals' request, he had the right to spare him for the death penalty, and allowed him to wear the crime and make meritorious service, and the rod was punished by twenty strokes, and if he committed it again next time, he would not be pardoned!"

The punishment of twenty military sticks is the lightest, and Lu Bu didn't care about it anymore, snorted coldly, and strode down.

In Cao Cao's military camp, Cao Cao prepared a banquet and specially celebrated Liu Ze's achievements.

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Brother Meng De is polite, today's battle is just a draw, what is the merit?" ”

Cao Cao sighed: "If it weren't for Runde's efforts today, the coalition army would have been defeated." Unexpectedly, Lu Bu was so brave, three thousand wolves could gallop vertically and horizontally, as if entering a no-man's land, it was difficult to seek the recovery of thieves. ”

"In fact, Lu Bu alone is not afraid, but I am worried that the princes from all walks of life will not contribute to the army, and they will fight separately and do not help each other. On the battlefield today, the princes from all walks of life waited and watched each other, which made Liu Ze very cold.

Cao Cao also sighed, his men and horses were arranged by Yuan Shao to respond, because he did not appear in front of the Tiger Prison Pass today, but Cao Cao did not know the various conditions of the coalition army.

"The coalition forces are not united, and the Xiliang army may not be monolithic, today Lu Bu is fighting alone, and the generals of the Xiliang army have no one to answer, and the internal tilt is obvious, maybe it is where we can take advantage of it." Liu Ze hit the nail on the head and pointed out the weakness of disunity within the Xiliang Army.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he said: "What Runde said is extremely true, tomorrow our army will fight again, and take advantage of the unstable spirit of its army to take the Tiger Prison Pass." ”

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao pretended to be very casual and asked: "On the battlefield today, witnessing the archery and cavalry battle of the virtuous brother and the wolf riding of the state, the blood of the people is boiling and the heart is intoxicated, how did the virtuous brother get the strange horse harness that made the cavalry as stable as a mountain on the horse?" ”

The cavalry of the Han Dynasty was dominated by lancers, and the archers were not absent but few in number, the main reason was that the archers could not use bows and arrows while driving horses, and they could only shoot when the horses stopped. And today, Liu Ze's archers shine thanks to the saddle stirrups. (To be continued......)
