There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Lu Bu stepped forward and said, "A certain person is willing to go!"

The pottery merchant nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Wen Hou came out of Guanzhong back then, and now he has re-entered Guanzhong, and is waiting for Wen Hou to show his power again. I will give Wen Hou [-] soldiers and horses, and Wen Hou will go to Wuguan to call for battle." , This time, let's test the opponent's strength."

Chapter 884 Pound's Must Kill

Lv Bu felt his hands were itchy while staying in Wancheng.

Cheng Yu and Pound kept sending soldiers and horses to harass their side in Wuguan. Although there was no serious problem, it was also a kind of provocation to the generals in Wancheng.

Especially someone like Lu Bu who is violent and perverse, can't bear the endless provocations of the other party.

The pottery merchant asked him to lead his troops and horses to call for battle, so Lu Bu was naturally very happy.

He immediately turned around and went out to gather troops.

……

The next day, Lu Bu led [-] Bingzhou wolf riders and set off for Wuguan.

At this time, Wuguan was guarded by Pang De as the main general, and Cheng Yu, as his staff, guarded the place together with Pang De.

"After the potters conquered Jingzhou, they must send troops to Guanzhong. For us, the current situation seems to be quite embarrassing."

Cheng Yu shook his head and sighed with emotion.

Pound paced back and forth in the main hall, and said: "Sikong has captured Hanzhong now, and captured the cities of Shangyong. Now the Guanzhong land is our front line to deal with the pottery merchants. From Zhongdegong's point of view, we How should we defend now?"

Cheng Yu frowned and said: "Now even the land of Jingzhou has been conquered by potters... Its power is advancing by leaps and bounds, and its power is so great that no one can stop it. For us, the land in Guanzhong is probably It may not be able to last long.”

Pang De was taken aback when he heard the words: "What do you mean?"

"The land in the middle of the pass depends on the heroes of the three passes, but Luoyang is independent of the three passes. With the power of the potters, if they send troops to the Central Plains and the three rivers at the same time, no matter how tall the city of Luoyang is, it will not be able to stop it for a long time." , the land of Luoyang will be lost sooner or later."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu paused, and said: "As for Chang'an and other places within the three passes, relying on the hero of Hangu, I can rely on it, but from my point of view, this is probably not a long-term solution. Guan accompanied Tao Jun to break through, and the land in Guanzhong is flat, although the territory is vast, but there is no natural moat to defend. In between."

Pang De was surprised when he heard the words, and said: "In this way, the two capitals and the land in Guanzhong will be lost sooner or later?"

Cheng Yu didn't answer Pound directly, he just sighed and said: "Even if you can defend this time, how can you defend the second and third times? When it comes to population, financial resources, material resources, war horses, ordnance, ironware , Warlord... potters are above our army in everything, hehe..."

Cheng Yu's words made Pang De feel an indescribable blockage in his chest.

"Mr. Zhongde, according to what you said, we don't need to fight in this battle right now. Wouldn't it be easier to just surrender directly?"

Cheng Yu looked at Pang De's aggrieved face, and said with a smile, "But that's not the case."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know why the Prime Minister attacked Hanzhong?"

Pang De raised his eyebrows, and said: "Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, taking advantage of my unpreparedness, he joined forces with pottery merchants to harass our army's rear, and Sikong sent troops to destroy him, just to avenge his previous revenge, what's wrong?"

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "General Pang, you are thinking too shallowly about this. With Sikong's mind and knowledge, how can you be so keen on revenge? It's just that compared with Guanzhong, Sichuan and Shu are more conducive to defense. It is more suitable for a foothold."

Pang De opened his eyes wide and said, "Mr. Zhongde, did Cao Sikong tell you this?"

Cheng Yu shook his head, and said: "Sikong didn't tell me, some things are just my guesses, but I have followed Sikong for many years, and I think there are some things, even if I guess, the guesses are not far behind..."

The two were talking about this, but a soldier came to report in a hurry, saying that before Wuguan, someone was shouting and challenging.

Pound narrowed his eyes and said, "Who challenged it?"

The soldier hurriedly said, "It's Lu Bu!"

"Lu Bu?" Pound chuckled, as if interested: "How many people did that guy bring?"

The soldier cupped his hands and said: "It seems that there are not many, there are only a few thousand horses, among which there are more than a thousand cavalry. It seems that they are not attacking the pass, but just to invite battle!"

"Okay." Pang De nodded heavily, and said: "The so-called Lu Bu is among the people, and the red rabbit is among the horses! I just happened to learn today!"

When Cheng Yu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Ling Ming, don't be in a hurry. We don't know the meaning of Lu Bu's arrival. I heard that the pottery merchants seem to have gone to Wancheng secretly. We must not underestimate the enemy, and we must not fight lightly."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhongde!" Pang De said with a smile: "I understand the idea of ​​the pottery merchant somewhat. He just wanted to take the opportunity to test the reality of our army. If we are timid to fight now, wouldn't it make him think that our military Insufficient troops to guard the pass? It seems that this is not good for the defense of the pass. Since Sikong intends to be in Sichuan and Shu, then the longer we can stop the potter's troops in the Guanzhong, the more beneficial it will be for Sikong's great cause."

Cheng Yu let out a long sigh, and said, "Although that's what you said, our opponent is a pottery merchant, not to mention that Lu Bu is the best general in the world, even if he came here just to test it out, it's not easy to face him directly, right?"

Pound snorted heavily, and said, "What's the point of trivial matters? The world once said that Lu Bu was invincible in the world, but didn't he suffer in Zhao Yun's hands back then? I Pound is no worse than Zhao Yun, what are you afraid of?"

Seeing Pang De's stubbornness, Cheng Yu worried, "But if you compete with Lu Bu, what if you make a mistake?"

"No!" Pound clapped his hands confidently, and called for his personal guards: "Bring me my sleeve arrow!"

Not long after, the guard brought Pang De's sleeve arrow in front of him and Cheng Yu.

Pang De stretched out his hand and introduced to Cheng Yu: "Look!"

Cheng Yu looked at it carefully and said, "With just this thing, you can defeat Lu Bu?"

Pang De snorted and said: "Sir, don't underestimate this sleeve arrow. My sleeve arrow is no more hidden than other arrows. If it hits the last one, he will die immediately!"

Cheng Yu stared at him blankly: "What's the difference between your sleeve arrow?"

"I have poison on it!" Pound puffed up his chest confidently: "The poison on this arrow was prepared by a certain person himself. Although this poison will not be fatal immediately, it is not something that ordinary doctors can cure. No. [-] in the world, no matter how difficult it is to discipline him if he meets someone.”

The pottery merchant was stunned, and said, "How sure are you?"

"I am very sure of myself!"

……

At the same time, Lu Bu was outside Wuguan, ordering the soldiers of the three armies to shout loudly at Wuguan.

Lu Bu himself galloped back and forth in front of the military officer on his horse, waving the Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand, chattering heartily.

Not long after, the gate of Wuguan slowly opened, and Pang De, who was fully armed, rushed out.

Chapter 885 Goodbye Liu Cao

Pang De rode his horse out of Wuguan. He was wearing heavy iron armor, a horn helmet on his head, and a huge sword in his hand. He sat down on a majestic Xiliang war horse, which was extremely fierce.

Pang De rode his horse to the field, then waved the long knife in his hand, pointed at Lu Bu on the opposite side and shouted loudly: "Lu Bu, this is Nan'an Pound! Today I am here to kill you!"

Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, and made the soldiers behind him stop in place, and then he saw him galloping alone, and came in front of Pound.

Lu Bu has now successfully lost weight, so he looks very mighty on the outside. Although he is a little old, he can't be called old, and he doesn't feel anything when facing the younger Pound.

He laughed and said: "What a nameless bastard, you actually came out? How dare you!"
