Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 300 Only One Can Save

On September [-]th of the first year of Jian'an in the Great Han Dynasty, Liu He led his army back to Chang'an. This time, he returned from the conquest of the Yongliang area. He not only wiped out the Yongliang warlords, but also successfully recruited talents like Wang Yi and Yang Fu. Canonized, they have grown into top-notch talents, such results are really surprising.

For Liu He, the greatest significance of this battle is that since then, the Silk Road has been completely and fully guaranteed, which will promote Chang'an to become prosperous again, thus laying the most solid foundation for Liu He to establish the world.

Of course, about this point, only the truly insightful people can see it, and what most people see is that Liu He has harvested nearly 10 people in three counties this time, and recruited nearly [-] elite Western soldiers. Liang cavalry also got a lot of supplies.

Some people saw that Liu He had completely unified the entire Guanzhong area after this battle, and since then he has truly become a great overlord in the world. He has monopolized four of the thirteen states in the world, and he actually occupies one third. With such powerful strength and high enough prestige, it is impossible to imagine anyone who can match it.

Ever since, the world was shocked again.

Shocked, Cao Cao and Liu Bei secretly reached an agreement to jointly send troops to deal with Lu Bu to get rid of their confidant, and then the two heroes joined forces to pacify the Central Plains.

After the two parties reached an agreement in secret, they started their own operations. First, under Liu Bei's secret instruction, the fierce general Zhang Fei robbed the 150 war horses bought by Lv Bu. In a rage, Lv Bu led his army to besiege Xiaopei where Liu Bei was stationed. , Liu Bei saw that Lu Bu's army was strong and his horse was strong, and he expected that Xiaopei's army would be too few to resist, so he led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to break out of the encirclement and defected to Cao Cao.

Afterwards, Cao Cao raised [-] troops to conquer Lu Bu. The two sides fought for many days, but Lu Bu lost more than he won.

"This, how is this possible?" Lu Bu couldn't accept such a battle situation at all, because according to previous experience, although Cao Cao had many soldiers, they were not his opponents at all, but this time Cao Cao only dispatched [-] troops. The number of soldiers under his command is almost the same, but this time, he lost more and won more.

Lu Bu found that the reason why he lost less and won more this time was not that the soldiers under his command did not fight hard enough, but that the enemy's combat effectiveness was too strong, such as the newly established cavalry team called "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" under Cao Cao's command. , The strength of the battle actually surpassed his Bingzhou iron cavalry, and even an ordinary soldier, his combat effectiveness was almost comparable to the eight generals under his command.

This kind of terrifying combat power made Lu Bu feel terrified.

What surprised him even more was that the fierce generals under Cao Cao's command seemed to be stronger than before. For example, the guy named Dian Wei was not his opponent at all under normal circumstances, but now for some reason, his combat power suddenly soared. Well, that's not counting, especially this guy's defense is almost like made of steel, if Lu Bu doesn't try his best when confronting him, he can't hurt him.

And Cao Cao also has a fierce general named Xu Chu. In fact, this fellow was originally stronger, and his combat power was not considered by Lu Bu at all. However, this Xu Chu is a bit different now. It's a strange move, when it's time to fight, he takes off his armor and fights with himself naked, but for some reason, as long as this guy takes off his armor, his fighting power will be much stronger, even Lu Bu finds it difficult to deal with.

In addition, there are two brothers, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, whose martial arts are not ordinary now. When the four of them surrounded Lu Bu and fought in the middle, even Lu Bu felt a little difficult to parry, and finally retreated helplessly.

This was the first time in his life that Lu Bu retreated voluntarily, which made him feel deeply ashamed.

However, there is nothing you can do if you don't retreat, because the opponent's strength is too strong, and you really can't fight with it.

In the end, Lu Bu had no choice but to retreat to Xiapi and close the city to defend himself.

At this time, a counselor Chen Deng came to offer advice, asking Lu Bu to transfer all the money and food from his wife and daughter to Xiaopei, so that there would be a retreat after the defeat of Xiapi in the future.

In fact, at this time, Chen Deng did not really take refuge in Lu Bu because he was thinking about his old master Liu Bei. The main purpose of making this suggestion was to let Lu Bu divide his troops to defend. In addition, because Lu Bu was more attached to his wife and daughter, as long as Xiaopei was defeated in the future and Lu Bu was captured His wife and daughter, I believe Lu Bu will not run away.

However, Lu Bu didn't know that it was Chen Deng's conspiracy, so he readily agreed to Chen Deng's suggestion and ordered his wife and daughter to be transferred to Xiaopei. Life and death, Lu Bu had no choice but to agree.

Early the next morning, Chen Deng approached Lu Bu to inquire about transferring his wife and children, but Lu Bu rejected the proposal, which made Chen Deng depressed for a long time. Xiaopei, Lu Bu guarded Xiapi, and the two cities became horns to fight against Cao Cao. Lu Bu thought about it and agreed.

Then Chen Deng lied to Chen Gong, saying that Xiapi was in danger and asked Chen Gong to go to the rescue. Chen Gong didn't expect that it was Chen Deng's conspiracy, so he led the army out of the city to rescue.

At the same time, Chen Deng used the same method to lure Lu Bu out of the city to rescue Chen Gong, and let them kill each other when it was dark. When they found out that they had been tricked and returned to Xiaopei City, they found out that Xiaopei had been killed. Pei has been occupied by Chen Deng's father Chen Gui and Liu Bei's Mi Zhu.

It turned out that this Mi Zhu was originally a big family in Xuzhou, and there were more than [-] family members in the family. However, this person was very loyal to Liu Bei and betrothed all his sisters to Liu Bei as his wife. However, Xuzhou was lost later. Although Mi Zhu was treated favorably by Lu Bu However, his loyalty to Liu Bei remained unchanged. Together with Chen Deng and his son, he finally took Xiaopei back and ordered his servants to put on armor to defend the city.

Lu Bu didn't know that the defenders of the city were actually just some servants with little combat power. He thought that there was an ambush in the city and dared not take the city without authorization. At this moment, Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to attack from behind. Facing the attack, he dared not love to fight, so he hurriedly retreated to Xiapi.

At this time, counselors Xu Si and Wang Kai asked for an interview, suggesting that Lu Bu unite with Yuan Shu to fight against Cao Cao and Liu Bei. They also pointed out that Yuan Shu had proposed marriage to Lu Bu's daughter for his son. As long as Lu Bu agreed to the marriage and formed an alliance with Yuan Shu, I believe it would be resolved current predicament.

Lu Bu agreed, and was going to order Xu Si and Wang Kai to break out to meet Yuan Shu, but when he mentioned the matter to his wife Yan Shi, Yan Shi immediately rejected him.

I saw Yan said: "Then Yuan Shu is just a national thief, and he is already dying, what use can he be? Husband, if you really want to form an alliance with others, there is only one person in this world who can save you. As long as you form an alliance with him, believe us. We will be able to get through the crisis safely once.”
