The duel between armies does not rely on individual bravery to turn the tide of the war. Unless the individual's prowess reaches the level of "transcendence".

Lu Bu is very strong and has the power of an overlord, but his personal force is not enough to kill a thousand people and kill ten thousand enemies.

Lü Bu fled in the direction of Luoyang with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and the Bingzhou army behind him was pursued and killed by the coalition of princes.

Originally, there were more than 40,000 people in Lu Bu, but now there are only a few thousand.

Fortunately, the trapping camp led by the Wolf Rider and Gao Shun has not dispersed.

Zhang Liao looked anxious and said: "Fengxian, you can't run away in a hurry, you must have someone to break off." Otherwise, we will really be done with the state army. Without the army, even if we return to Luoyang City, Dong Xiangguo will not let us have a good life. ”

If a general has no army, then he has lost his foundation.

The Bingzhou Army led by Lu Bu was not integrated into the Xiliang Army.

There were tens of thousands of merger state troops, and Lu Bu had to be squeezed out by Li Dao, Guo Yan, Hua Xiong and others. Oh, Hua Xiong is dead. If there is no state army, Lu Bu will not be able to mix under Dong Zhuo.

Lu Bu said angrily: "Damn Sun Jian, damn Cao Cao." I'm going to tear them to pieces! ”

In pursuit of the state army, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were the most ferocious.

Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, known as the Jiangdong Tiger, is a peerless general, and his force is definitely stronger than Huaxiong.

It's just that Sun Jian is the "lord", a decent person, a fighting general, and under normal circumstances, he will not play in person.

What's more, Sun Jian also has careful thoughts. came to the alliance to discuss Dong, just to make some capital and enhance his reputation.

Sun Jian didn't want to die for Yuan Shao.

Before pursuing the Bingzhou army, Cao Cao approached Sun Jian, and I don't know what the two discussed, but it must have reached an agreement.

Therefore.

Sun Jiancai cooperated with Cao Cao, biting Lu Bu's Bingzhou army to the death, chasing and fighting fiercely, and was very active.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and other princes were very passive, for fear that their military strength would be damaged, and they wanted to pick up cheap in the back.

Send them to death, just let Sun Jian and Cao Cao's people go, and the benefits will go to themselves.

According to the comparison of military strength, it stands to reason that it is entirely possible for the princes' coalition army to eat Lu Bu's Bingzhou army and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army. In one fell swoop.

It's a pity that people's hearts are not aligned, everyone has careful thoughts, and everyone has their own interests.

Who doesn't want to take advantage of the fisherman's profits?

The alliance of princes played the banner of "crusading against the national thief Dong Zhuo" and shouted to rescue the Son of Heaven.

It's just a slogan.

Whoever really believes it, then you lose.

The princes of all walks of life were just envious and jealous of Dong Zhuo's power.

If there is a chance, he can be Xiangguo, and if he can take over the authority of Dong Zhuo, I believe that no one will refuse.

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said, "Wenyuan, Gao Shun, the two of you go to block Sun Wentai." I went to slaughter Cao Mengde. ”

Lu Bu turned the red rabbit horse, took fifty cavalry, and returned to attack.

After this break, Lu Bu wanted to sneak attack, not to fight Cao Cao's soldiers and horses.

Lu Bu believed that as long as he was taken by surprise, he would definitely be able to kill Cao Cao.

Lu Bu is just stubborn and has a flawed personality, but he is not a fool.

When you can't fight hard, you should use a sneak attack.

……

Cao Cao's face was bloody, his eyes were excited, he waved his long sword, and shouted loudly: "Kill." Kill all these damn merger troops! ”

Chen Kang persuaded: "Lord, don't kill again." ”

Cao Cao was stunned: "Why?" ”

Chen Kang said: "My lord, the princes of the Eighteen Roads, as far as your army is concerned, these defeated and merged state troops, if you take them in, your power will definitely increase greatly." ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

But he still shook his head and said, "I don't have so much food and grass to feed them." Once there is no food and grass, the army's morale will be turbulent, and it will be counterattacked. ”

Chen Kang said: "Yuan Shu has grain and grass there. Lord, you just listen to me, and with people, there will be everything. Let's find a way to deal with the matter of food and grass. No matter how bad it is, let's defeat a few warrior clans and loot them, and there will naturally be grain and grass. ”

Cao Cao glanced at Chen Kang and said, "Chen Kang, your kid is very fat." Who would dare to slaughter a family of warriors so easily? Even Dong Zhuo didn't have the guts. Yuan Highway will definitely not come up with excess grain and grass. However, I'll listen to you once, and first incorporate these defeated merger state troops! ”

Cao Cao felt that Chen Kang had a sentence that was very right, with people, there would be everything.

People are the most precious.

Sun Jian killed too hard, and killed a lot of routs and state troops along the way.

Cao Cao was to gather those annexed state troops.

Without contrast, there is no harm.

Sun Jian gained a reputation for murder.

On the contrary, Cao Cao gained the reputation of "unparalleled benevolence and righteousness".

Cao Cao and Sun Jian's soldiers divided into two routes and pursued the Bingzhou army. Cao Cao's troops fought more and more, and Sun Jian's troops fought less and less.

When Cao Cao gathered more than 10,000 of the defeated Hezhou army, he was ambushed by Lü Bu on a mountain road.

Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, carried Fang Tian's halberd, and rushed towards Cao Cao.

"Cao Mengde, suffer death!" Lu Bu's eyes widened and he roared.

Cao Cao's face was full of fear, and he panicked: "There is an ambush. Evacuate. ”

The image of Lu Bu's invincibility in the world has been engraved in Cao Cao's mind.

Encountering Lu Bu's sneak attack, Cao Cao panicked all of a sudden.

You can't blame Cao Cao's poor psychological quality, but Lu Bu is really too tough.

Chen Kang said: "What to withdraw. Don't panic, lord! Lu Bu brought very few people, less than a hundred horsemen. General Cao Ren, General Cao Hong, General Le Jin, you lead people to entangle Lu Bu's cavalry. Don't fight hard, fight hard. The safety of the lord is entrusted to me. ”

Chen Kang's voice was very loud, and it could be said that he was the first to take the lead.

Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Le Jin instinctively obeyed Chen Kang's orders.

At the critical moment, we must not mess up.

As long as he stabilizes, he will definitely be able to hold Lu Bu back.

Lu Bu ignored it and went straight to Cao Cao.

Chen Kang took Cao Cao's long sword and said, "Lord, you retreat farther away." I'm pestering Lu Bu! ”

Cao Cao is Chen Kang's boss.

Chen Kang still wanted to continue to eat with Cao Cao, but he couldn't let Lu Bu kill Boss Cao.

Otherwise, Chen Kang will have to find another way.

Lu Bu recognized Chen Kang at a glance.

Chen Kang's defeat of Hua Xiong with dexterous martial arts left a deep impression on Lu Bu.

"Die."

Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's halberd and struck at Chen Kang.

Chen Kang could grab Hua Xiong's long knife, but he didn't dare to grab Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd.

Chen Kang's physical fitness was too weak, and many advanced martial arts skills could not be displayed at all.

Chen Kang's only way was to dodge.

Avoiding the attack of Fang Tian's halberd, the long sword seemed to come alive in Chen Kang's hand, the tip of the sword was full of spirituality, bypassing Fang Tian's halberd and hitting Lu Bu's throat directly.

Lu Bu was surprised: "What a powerful swordsmanship." Boy, your swordsmanship is qualified to be comparable to that of Wang Yue's great swordsman. ”

Wang Yue is a great master of swordsmanship, who once served as a swordsmanship teacher of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, and he has the reputation of "Emperor Master" in Luoyang.

Chen Kang is not a swordsman, but he is now simulating the psychological state of "sword heart is clear". Although you can't do the real Kenshin Tongming, it's still no problem to imitate it.

Chen Kang's control of the long sword is not lost to the great master of swordsmanship.

Lu Bu blocked Chen Kang's sword with Fang Tian's halberd.

Unable to strike a blow, Chen Kang slashed his sword again.

This time, the target of his attack was not Lu Bu, but Chitu Ma.

Shoot the man before the horse.

As long as the Red Rabbit Horse is killed, then Lu Bu's combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least one or two percent.

Lu Bu treats the red rabbit horse as a treasure and will not let the red rabbit horse get hurt.

Lu Bu said angrily: "Despicable boy, you dare to hurt my beloved horse. I will kill you. ”

Chen Kang did not speak.

As soon as he spoke, he would be distracted and discouraged, and when the time came, with Chen Kang's physical strength, I was afraid that he would not be able to hold on any longer.

Chen Kang said secretly: "Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Le Jin, the three of you had better hurry up and encircle and suppress the cavalry brought by Lu Bu." Lu Bu is too strong, my physical strength, I can't last long. ”

Chen Kang took out two swords, and most of his physical strength was consumed, which was a bit like the end of a strong crossbow.

Physical fitness limited Chen Kang's martial arts and mental function.

Chen Kang's thinking is much slower now than before, and it is too hard to dodge Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd.

If he was not careful, Chen Kang would be divided by Fang Tian's halberd.

Chen Kang's heart was full of anxiety, and he said secretly: "At most, ten more moves, and I will be exhausted." Once my speed and agility slowed down, I was going to die. Lu Bu is much stronger than Hua Xiong. ”

Fighting with Lu Bu, let alone winning, even if it drags down Lu Bu's pace, it has already made Chen Kang work very hard, and every second is like a year.

Every time Chen Kang makes a sword, he is fighting for his life.

Bite.

Fang Tian's halberd once again blocked Chen Kang's long sword.

Chen Kang's footwork was like a civet cat, and he took more than ten steps back lightly, and the hand holding the sword was trembling.

Sweat dripped down Chen Kang's chin.

Chen Kang, with his feminine and dexterous strength, actually failed to dissolve the power of Fang Tian's halberd.

The anti-shock force almost caused Chen Kang to suffer internal injuries.

Chen Kang said: "Lu Bu, with me, you can't kill the lord." ”

Lu Bu saw that Chen Kang was bluffing, and sneered: "I didn't expect that Cao Mengde actually had such a swordsmanship master as you by his side. Your martial arts skills are good, but it's a pity that you don't have enough strength. Boy, you're running out, aren't you? Within three moves, I can take your head! ”

Right now.

Of the fifty cavalrymen brought by Lu Bu, only three were killed by Cao Ren and them.

Chen Kang sneered: "Lu Bu, your sneak attack failed. The people you have brought are all over. Do you want to rely on the force of one person to stop so many of us? You can't do it. If you don't leave, you'll leave your life here. ”

Lu Bu glared at Chen Kang.

There is unwillingness.

As long as you kill Chen Kang, you can kill Cao Cao.

But Chen Kang was right, if the sneak attack failed, then the purpose of killing Cao Cao would be frustrated.

Lu Bu made a lot of calculations, but he couldn't calculate that Chen Kang turned out to be Cao Cao's subordinate.

Chen Kang's strength is not great, but his martial arts are really dexterous, and his body is terrifyingly flexible. There are few people in the world who can avoid Lu Bu Fangtian's halberd, and Chen Kang is one.

Lu Bu glanced at Cao Cao in the distance, snorted coldly, and rode the red rabbit horse to turn around and leave.

Because Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Le Jin had already surrounded them with soldiers and horses.

If Lu Bu doesn't leave, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave.

Wait for Lu Bu to leave.

Cao Cao ran over and shouted, "Chen Kang, Chen Kang, are you okay?" ”

Chen Kang supported his body with a long sword, knelt on one knee, his face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, he was panting, his heart was beating like a beating war drum, and sweat was raining.

Chen Kang was too tired to speak.

Cao Cao helped Chen Kang and said, "Chen Kang, are you injured?" ”

Chen Kang said: "Lord, I am not injured, but I am exhausted. You let me rest for a while. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay, okay, you have a good rest." You can't get an accident. ”

When Cao Cao started, he was suspicious of Chen Kang, but now he has gradually begun to trust Chen Kang.

After all, with Chen Kang's martial arts, there are many opportunities to kill Cao Cao.

If Chen Kang hadn't worked hard to entangle Lu Bu just now, then Cao Cao would have died in Lu Bu's hands.

Chen Kang lay on the grass and began to regulate his breathing, calm his breath, and regain his strength.

……

Chen Kang's physical exertion was excessive, and it took two days to recuperate before he fully recovered his energy.

Fifty miles further forward, there is Luoyang City.

Sun Jian and Cao Cao converged.

Cao Cao has grown from more than 2,000 people at the beginning to an army of more than 15,000 now, which made Sun Jian's eyes widen.

Sun Jian had just entered the Tiger Prison Pass, which had 10,000 troops and 2,000 cavalry, and had lost more than half of them so far, and also lost one of the generals.

Sun Jian thought that he was a big victory, but after seeing Cao Cao's team, he was quite sad.

Cao Cao laughed: "Wentai, let's rest for a few days, Yuan Benchu and their arrival began to encircle and suppress Dong Zhuo." In my estimation, Dong Zhuo will definitely not be able to defend a Luoyang City, he can only escape. When the time comes, you and I will enter the city together. ”

Lü Bu's Bingzhou army was defeated, and the allied forces of the princes besieged Luoyang City, and there was no need to attack the city, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army would collapse.

After all, there is not much grain and grass in Luoyang City.

If Dong Zhuo wants to live, the only way out is to abandon the city.

Give up Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo can live, stick to Luoyang, and he will die.

Cao Cao was a military strategist and statesman. His wisdom and military ability at the moment have not yet reached the peak, but he can already see that the imperial capital Luoyang will be a lonely city.

Dong Zhuo can't keep Luoyang no matter what.

Abandoning the Tiger Prison Pass and going out of the city to fight with the princes' allied forces was a bad move taken by Lu Bu. The situation of Dong Zhuoxi's Liang army has been ruined.

Sun Jian said depressedly: "Cao Mengde, how can you incorporate the Bingzhou Army?" They're enemies. ”

Cao Cao had a compassionate expression and said, "Brother Wentai, although they are the state army, they are all their own people. ordered them to be slaughtered, Cao couldn't bear it. ”

Sun Jian asked, "Your own people?" ”

Cao Cao nodded, and said with a serious face: "Yes." The vast majority of the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army were Han Chinese, and they were the army of the imperial court. Our army, also Han Chinese, is, of course, ourselves. Our alliance this time is to crusade against the national thief Dong Zhuo, not to slaughter ordinary soldiers. If I encounter the Xiongnu Xianbei, I will definitely order a large-scale killing without mercy. ”

The people present looked at Cao Cao with adoring eyes.

Cao Mengde, what a benevolence and righteousness.

This wave was indeed installed by Cao Cao.

When Sun Jian heard this, he was as depressed as eating a fly.

Seeing Cao Cao's people fighting more and more, and his strength getting stronger and stronger, Sun Jian wanted to say that he was not envious, it was impossible.

Knowing this, I should have been like Cao Mengde and start to incorporate the state army.

Sun Jian returned to the military tent and said to Huang Gai and the others: "We can't kill people anymore. We learned from Cao Mengde, and also incorporated the defeated state army. ”

Huang Gai and the others looked at each other.

Sun Ce said: "Father, the defeated Bingzhou army was killed by us along the way. Even if we were to co-opt it, there would be no one. ”

……

Cao Ying.

Cao Cao, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Xiahoudun and others sat in the military tent.

Chen Kang stood behind Cao Cao with his hands behind his back.

Chen Kang is now completely out of Cao Ren's command and has become Cao Cao's personal bodyguard, doing Xu Chu's work in the future.

Cao Ren said: "Brother, our grain and grass are only enough for two days. More than 10,000 mouths have been added to eat, and even if you save more, there is no way for every soldier to eat a full stomach. ”

Le Jin nodded and said, "Yes." If we do not solve the problem of grain and grass, our army will inevitably mutiny. My lord, in two days we must get food and grass. Otherwise......"

Lejin didn't finish his sentence.

But Cao Cao understood that if he couldn't get food and grass, his army would collapse without a fight.

Cao Cao's face was solemn.

The grain within a hundred miles of Luoyang City has been looted by the Xiliang Army. No matter how wise Cao Cao is, it is impossible to conjure up grain and grass out of thin air.

The only way is to ask Yuan Shu for food and grass.

But.

Yuan Shu will definitely not hand over the grain and grass.

When Cao Cao had 2,000 people, Yuan Shu was not happy to give grain and grass, like squeezing toothpaste, giving a little each time, barely hanging Cao Jun's life.

What's more, Cao Cao now has more than 15,000 troops.

With grain and grass in his hands, Yuan Shu could easily handle Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others.

For a time, Cao Cao was in a dilemma.

Cao Cao and the others discussed for most of the hour, but they didn't come up with a suitable solution.

Cao Cao suddenly asked, "Chen Kang, do you have any way?" ”

Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahoudun, and Le Jin all looked at Chen Kang.

Chen Kang said: "I can only ask Yuan Shu to hand over the grain and grass." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Impossible." Yuan Highway will not give me food and grass for 15,000 people. ”

Chen Kang sneered: "In the world, there is nothing impossible. Lord, you take me to see Yuan Shu. Back then, Michi met, Lin Xiangru could threaten the King of Qin within five steps. I can also make Yuan Shu's blood splash five steps in anger. Yuan Shu's life is precious, he must be afraid of death, and if the sword is on his neck, he will definitely hand over the grain and grass. ”

Cao Cao and the others looked at Chen Kang in shock.

Chen Kang, this kid, is simple and rude in doing things, but he is also neat and tidy.

Blood splattered in five steps?

Threaten Yuan Shu!

It is indeed the only way to get food and grass.

As for really getting the grain and grass by threats, he offended the Yuan family to death.

How to deal with the aftermath?

Cao Cao slapped the table and said, "I can't care so much." What about offending the Yuan family? I, Cao Mengde, am not afraid. Chen Kang, Cao Hong, let's set off immediately to meet Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway. Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, you sit in the army, wait for me to come back. ”

……

Cao Hong took a thousand people and followed Cao Cao and Chen Kang to escort grain and grass.

Cao Cao said that he was not afraid, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Chen Kang, you proposed the solution." Cao Cao said, "Don't mess things up." Otherwise, we will not be able to get food and grass, and we will die without a place to bury. ”

Chen Kang looked confident and said, "Lord, the matter has come to this, don't hesitate anymore." We can only go one way to the dark. Don't worry, with my martial arts, it will be easy to capture Yuan Shu. ”

Cao Cao nodded, and said secretly, Chen Kang, this kid, is even more lawless than himself. It is really strange that Chen Kang and the grass people have no reverence for the nobles of the noble clan.

Cao Cao took Chen Kang and Cao Hong into Yuan Shao's alliance leader's camp.

When Yuan Shu saw Cao Cao, he looked unhappy and sneered: "Cao Mengde, I heard that you and Sun Wentai had a good fight." The Bingzhou army under Lu Bu was actually defeated by you. ”

Cao Cao said: "Yuan Highway, don't talk nonsense. I'm here to get grain and grass. The food and grass you gave me last time have been used up. ”

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao won the victory and was in the limelight, but in fact, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were very unhappy in their hearts.

Yuan Shu looked at Cao Cao with contempt on his face, and was about to refuse to mock Cao Cao.

Suddenly.

Qiang.

Chen Kang pulled out the saber on Cao Cao's waist, dodged, and approached Yuan Shu.

Without waiting for the people present to react, Chen Kang had already put the long sword on Yuan Shu's neck.

The princes present except for Cao Cao were all shocked.

Yuan Shao was shocked and said, "Cao Mengde, Chen Kang, what do you want to do?" Do you want to rebel? ”

Cao Cao said: "Alliance leader, highway, I want grain and grass." Do you give, or don't you give? ”

Yuan Shao sneered: "Threatening the leader of this alliance? Cao Mengde, I don't believe you really dare to kill Yuan Highway. ”

Chen Kang said: "Don't believe it? Yuan Benchu, then I'll kill you. Yuan Shu, your brother wants you to die. If you die, the Yuan family will respect Yuan Shao in the future. ”

Chen Kang used a slight force, and the blade of the sword cut through Yuan Shu's skin, and blood flowed down his neck.

Yuan Shu was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "There is grain and grass, there is grain and grass." How much grain and grass do you want? ”

Cao Cao opened his mouth and said, "Twenty thousand people of grain and grass." ”

Yuan Shu didn't hesitate at all, nodded and said, "Okay." Cao Mengde, if you let Chen Kang stop, I will have someone send grain and grass to you. ”

Yuan Shu was afraid of death.

Don't say it's 20,000 people of grain and grass, even if Cao Cao makes any more excessive demands at this moment, Yuan Shu will agree.
