The fifteenth day of the lunar month. It has been four days since the time passed before the Zhao coalition army divided into many routes on the west road and besieged the three cities of Lin County, Gaowolf and Lishi in Xihe County.

Guan Yu and Lu Bu, who were cruising in the upper reaches of the Qiangma River, were anxiously waiting for the latest battle report from Xihe. The 40,000 cavalry waited anxiously for the order to charge on a cold winter day, without unloading their armor or saddle their horses.

According to the reconnaissance of the shadows, it has been determined that the troops behind the palace of the Western Route Alliance Army are Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, numbering about 60,000 people, and are currently operating in the area between the Haoyan River and the Yellow River. Today, both rivers are covered with a thick layer of ice, and cavalry can effortlessly move back and forth. Dong Zhuo's Western Liang Army maintained an appropriate distance from the Zhao coalition army that crossed the Yellow River to the east, so that they could support each other; at the same time, it maintained a warning distance from the Flying Tiger Army and the Blue Wolf Army, and once the troops of Guan and Lu were discovered, they relied on their numerical superiority to deter and counterattack.

Some time ago, because of the light enemy's rash advance, Dong Zhuo lost two generals, Li Dao and Guo Yan, as well as 20,000 of the most elite cavalry, and he still has lingering fears about Guan Yu and Lu Bu. Strategist Li Ru suggested that he should not have a head-on duel with the cavalry led by Guan Yu and Lu Bu, and always keep the Xiliang cavalry marching in groups, waiting for the news of the siege of all walks of life. For the sake of preserving his power, Dong Zhuo adopted Li Ru's advice, always kept a distance from the Flying Tiger Army and the Blue Wolf Army, and moved to the east of the Yellow River whenever the wind blows.

Because they did not receive the specific combat mission from the front-line command for the next step, Guan Yu and Lu Bu had to wait patiently and did not launch a fierce attack on Dong Zhuoxi's Liang army without authorization. Although the Flying Tiger Army and the Blue Wolf Army now have 40,000 cavalry, on the premise that they cannot guarantee absolute superiority, they can easily launch a head-to-head duel in which 1,000 enemies are killed and 800 are self-inflicted.

Just when Guan Yu and Lu Bu were about to lose their patience, the Shadow Team finally sent Zhao Xing's secret letter, and they had a comprehensive understanding of the current battlefield situation.

It can be said that at present, except for Taiyuan County, where no trace of the enemy has been found, the rest of the states and counties cannot live in peace. To the east of Shangdang County, Zhu Jun once again launched a strong attack on Huguan; a large number of Xianbei cavalry were found in Wuyuan and Shuofang Counties; several counties in Yanmen County were attacked by the Montenegrin Army and suffered heavy casualties......

Looking at the secret report in his hand, Guan Yu couldn't help frowning more and more, and he couldn't wait to immediately plunge into the frontal battlefield and help the Zhenbei Army relieve the crisis. Just when Guan Yu was worried about the safety of the state, Lu Bu, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, who was not far from the Blue Wolf Army, saw a mysterious guest.

Quietly came to see Lu Bu was Li Su, a veteran general under Dong Zhuo. Since he took Dong Zhuo's good horse to have a relationship with Lu Bu, Li Su has to walk around with Lu Bu every New Year's festival over the years, and the two have a very good relationship, often eating at the same table and lying together. Although it is said that the two armies are now in a state of war with each other, Li Su should not have taken the liberty to come to meet Lu Bu, but if Li Su was specially commissioned by Dong Zhuo, it would be a different matter.

At first, Dong Zhuo didn't care about the threat that Lu Bu might bring, and felt that Lu Bu was just a general who commanded 10,000 people, and compared with the many generals under his command, he was not overly capable. Dong Zhuo knew that Lu Bu could fight, but he was not afraid of Lu Bu. There are also many generals under Dong Zhuo's command who can fight, such as Ye Xiong and Zhang Xiu. Even if Lu Bu was willing to betray the old master Zhao Xing to join him, Dong Zhuo still had to weigh it. After all, no one dares to believe too much in Erwuzai. Since Lu Bu can betray Zhao Xing, he may be able to betray him Dong Zhuo one day.

Since Guo Yan and Li Dao were killed by Lu Bu and Guan Yu respectively, Dong Zhuo finally felt the powerful attack power of the Flying Tiger Army, so he thought about how to bring Lu Bu over. Li Ru then offered a plan and suggested that Dong Zhuo send Li Su to discord the relationship between Lu Bu and the Zhenbei Army, even if he couldn't win over Lu Bu, he should let Zhao Xing guard against and suspect Lu Bu. As long as there is a rift between the Zhenbei Army and the generals of the Flying Tiger Army, one day this crack will become an irreparable trench, and then it will be a matter of course to win over Lu Bu.

Dong Zhuo felt that Li Ru's analysis was thorough, so he recruited Li Su, promised many benefits and high positions, and entrusted Li Su to go to the Flying Tiger Army camp to persuade Lu Bu. Last time, in order to win over Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to send a bloody horse from the Western Regions, which made Lu Bu extremely happy. This time, Dong Zhuo gritted his toothache and once again asked Li Su to lead a Yanqi horse from the Western Regions and go to befriend Lu Bu.

I saw the BMW that Dong Zhuo asked Li Su to give to Lu Bu: nine feet high, neck and body, holding high like a phoenix, white hair all over the body without variegation, two distances between the tibial joints of the hind feet, and scales and armor were faint in the hair. Sure enough, it is not the best horse that belongs to the red rabbit of the past. Although the "chasing the wind" that Lu Bu rides nowadays is rare, after all, it is a hybrid horse, and the bloodline is not pure enough, and there is still an obvious gap compared with this Yanqi horse.

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, don't talk about the old friend who came with the BMW. So Lu Bu, who has always been unpretentious, beckoned Li Su into his big tent in front of his corporaries. After some conversation, Li Su learned that Guo Jia, the military advisor of the Flying Tiger Army, had been transferred to the Dragoon Army to take up his post, and now Lu Bu's tent had not rearranged the military division, and he suddenly shouted in his heart, "God help me."

So Li Su secretly made a look, asked Lu Bu to retreat the left and right guards, told what Dong Zhuo wanted to recruit, and promised that as long as Lu Buken served the Zhenxi General's Mansion, Dong Zhuo originally recognized Lu Bu as his righteous son, and passed on the title and fief to Lu Bu in the future.

Lu Bu, who has always had soft ears, had already unabashedly revealed his fanatical joy when he saw Yan Qima. When he heard Li Su say that Dong Zhuo promised to recognize himself as his godson, he suddenly showed a look of longing, took Li Su's hand, and asked very excitedly: "Brother Wei Gong (Li Suzi) is this true?"

Li Su saw that Lu Bu was happy to see the good horse, and when he heard about the solicitation, he felt that Lu Bu really had a drama this time, so he patted his chest and assured, saying that Dong Zhuo had always lamented that Lu Bu was invincible in the world, and if he could get such a general to follow, it would not be difficult to get the world. Li Su added fuel and vinegar and said that Lu Bu was defeated by Zhao Xing under Lishi City in the past year, purely because he fell for Zhao Xing's tricks. Now Zhao Xing is riding a Chitu BMW, and he has hundreds of battles with Zhang Fei on the east bank of the Yellow River, and Zhang Fei's horses are so tired that they all fall to the ground, not all thanks to Lu Bu's horse.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of the downpour, you are afraid of the wind. Li Su brought up the old matter again, and just talked about Lu Bu's sore spot, and the red rabbit horse should indeed be attributed to Lu Bu, but it was taken by Zhao Xing as his own. Listening to Li Su's account, Lu Bu's face turned from white to red, and then from red to blue, and finally got up angrily without saying a word, leaving Li Su alone regardless of etiquette, and turned to the back account alone to sulk.
