Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

That “21.9%” is probably only possible if Li Ji can find a way to unite the entire Allied forces, making them willing to sacrifice everything.

Compared to the internal strife of Dong Zhuo's three major corps, the Allied forces are undoubtedly more chaotic, and getting them to unite is even more difficult than ascending to heaven.

Immediately, Li Ji affirmed one thing:

Lü Bu… cannot be killed!

To break through Hulao Pass, the focus is still on this 'Fierce Tiger'.

If the interior of Hulao Pass is not in chaos, it will be too difficult for the Allied forces of over 200,000 to break through the Hulao Pass guarded by 100,000 elite soldiers!

In Liu Bei's eyes, Li Ji was still looking down with his eyes slightly lowered, as if he was secretly deducing something…

This made Liu Bei's eyes light up, as if he had returned to the afternoon on Daxing Mountain.

“I have seen the future…”

Suddenly, Li Ji said a sentence, his tone and expression seeming to completely overlap with the memory in Liu Bei's mind.

The only difference was that the current Li Ji was more calm and composed than when he had first emerged.

Immediately, just as Li Ji was about to open his mouth to discuss with Liu Bei, before Li Ji could finish speaking.

“Lord, let Ji explain in detail how to break through this Hulao Pass…”

Liu Bei waved his hand, interrupting him. “No need, Zikun. Since you are confident, then I am also confident. Just do as you see fit.”

Li Ji was slightly stunned, then smiled elegantly and cupped his hands.

“Zilong, then please come closer.”

Seeing this, Zhao Yun immediately leaned towards Li Ji, and Li Ji whispered a few words in Zhao Yun's ear.

“Do you understand clearly?”

After speaking, Li Ji confirmed.

Zhao Yun first carefully recalled it in his mind, and after confirming that there was no error, he nodded and replied. “Rest assured, Mr. Zikun.”

“Since that's the case, then Zilong, go into battle as well.”

For Li Ji, the general under Liu Bei that he trusted the most was undoubtedly Zhao Yun.

Perhaps Zhao Yun did not have the domineering aura to look down on the world, but his character was so calm and cautious that it seemed like there was not a single flaw.

Moreover, unless it was the final moment, whether Zhao Yun was acting or leading troops, he always liked to leave three points of strength to ensure that there would be no unexpected situations that were difficult to deal with.

During this time, Lü Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei had already fought for more than four hundred rounds, and none of them showed any obvious signs of weakening.

This amazing martial prowess had made the various lords and soldiers somewhat numb.

Before this, almost no one could have imagined that the courage of ordinary men could fight to this extent.

However, Xiahou Yuan, who was in a sense Zhang Fei's adoptive father, saw some trends and changes, approached Cao Cao's ear, and said in a low voice.

“Big brother, could it be that after another one or two hundred rounds, Lü Bu will be defeated by Yide and Yunchang?”

Cao Cao, who was engrossed in watching, was shocked and asked. “How can you tell?”

Xiahou Yuan analyzed in a low voice.

“Previously, I had sparred with Yunchang and Yide in Wu County several times, and I know their martial arts styles well.”

“Now, Yunchang and Yide have gradually adapted to Lü Bu's attacks, and Yide has a tendency to become more and more courageous as he fights. As long as Yunchang gathers his strength again and finds a good opportunity, he may be able to kill Lü Bu on the spot.”

Cao Cao nodded repeatedly, amazed and impressed, and his gaze towards Guan Yu was even more admiring.

However, before Cao Cao could say anything, Zhao Yun suddenly changed from stillness to motion, rushing towards Lü Bu like a white shadow.

Moreover, unlike Guan Yu, who only spoke when he was about to get close, Zhao Yun shouted from afar.

“Marquis Wen, be careful, Zhao Zilong of Changshan has come to ask for guidance.”

Lü Bu, who had fought with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for hundreds of rounds without a victory, was already somewhat troubled about how to defeat the two, and Zhao Yun's appearance made Lü Bu feel quite annoyed.

However, unlike Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had imposing appearances, Zhao Yun looked more like a scholar from afar, with no deterrent power at all.

“What kind of jumping clown dares to come forward?”

Lü Bu temporarily shook off Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and simply took the initiative to meet Zhao Yun, trying to quickly deal with Zhao Yun, so as to vent the anger in his heart.

However, what Lü Bu did not expect was that Zhao Yun casually shook the Yejiao Spear in his hand, and countless spear shadows enveloped Lü Bu.

This one move alone made Lü Bu's heart tremble, and then he couldn't help but complain.

In the past, he had searched hard but could not find an opponent who could fight to his heart's content. How could it be that one after another appeared today, and even stronger than the last?

Unlike the fighting styles of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun was better at pure skill.

Therefore, when Zhao Yun made his move, Lü Bu realized that this white-robed young general was far above Zhang Fei in terms of spear skills alone.

“Ding ding ding!”

The collision of spears and halberds made a dense sound like raindrops.

In just a few breaths, the Yejiao Spear and the Fangtian Halberd had collided dozens of times.

Not only was Lü Bu surprised, but Zhao Yun was also quite shocked.

After practicing hard in the mountains for several years, Zhao Yun still practiced diligently every day after coming out of the mountains. Now, in his early twenties, Zhao Yun was the first time he had encountered an opponent who did not fall behind in a battle of skills.

However, Lü Bu's opponents were not just Zhao Yun alone!

In the few breaths that Lü Bu was restrained, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already outflanked him from the rear, one on the left and one on the right.

Seeing this, Lü Bu quickly wanted to drive the Red Hare Horse to escape the encirclement.

However, the Night Shining White Steed was best at speed and agility, and its compatibility with Zhao Yun was no less than that of Lü Bu and the Red Hare Horse.

Therefore, at the same time that the Red Hare Horse had just turned, the Night Shining White Steed blocked the front like a shadow.

The Yejiao Spear pointed directly at Lü Bu's vital points at an alarming speed, which shocked Lü Bu's heart, and while he quickly blocked Zhao Yun's attack, he realized that something was wrong.

Zhao Yun's difficulty was far beyond Lü Bu's expectations.

And in terms of speed and agility alone, the Night Shining White Steed was faintly above the Red Hare Horse.

This made it impossible for Lü Bu to get away for a while, so that as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei closed in, Lü Bu was completely trapped in the encirclement of Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

Even though Lü Bu had unparalleled courage and was known as the unparalleled in the world, being besieged by three peerless fierce generals of the same level made Lü Bu try his best to persevere for three rounds, and he completely fell into a disadvantage. Half of the red brocade hundred-flower robe he was wearing behind him was cut off.

In the fourth round, Lü Bu's left shoulder was pierced by the Zhangba Snake Spear because he couldn't dodge…

In the fifth round, the exquisite lion belt tied around his waist was picked off by the Yejiao Spear…

The increasingly embarrassed Lü Bu roared constantly, charging left and right, but he was unable to break through the encirclement formed by Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. He was in a state of trapped beast still fighting, as if he was in danger of losing his life at any time.

This scene shocked Dong Zhuo on the city wall. He never thought that his adopted son Lü Bu, who was invincible in his eyes in the past, would have such an embarrassing time.

On the contrary, Li Ru reacted and said urgently.

“Prime Minister, the Allied forces are shameless, besieging Marquis Wen alone, and Marquis Wen has no assistance on the left and right. We should quickly send people to meet Marquis Wen.”

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo was about to order the other generals to quickly go to rescue Lü Bu.

Zhao Yun, who was besieging Lü Bu, suddenly said loudly.

“Good, then I hope Marquis Wen will abide by this promise and put the country first!”

Immediately, Zhao Yun drove the Night Shining White Steed directly to make way for a path. Lü Bu, who was already embarrassed, was full of bewilderment, and he didn't know who Zhao Yun's abrupt statement was said to.

However, the instinct to survive made Lü Bu urge the Red Hare Horse to rush out of the gap Zhao Yun had made almost immediately.

And Lü Bu's pride also made him not continue to attack Zhao Yun when he passed by Zhao Yun.

It's just that this was originally a quick reaction between top generals, and from the perspective of countless bystanders, it was more like a tacit cooperation formed by Lü Bu and Zhao Yun reaching some kind of agreement.

“Zilong, you…”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also greatly angered by Zhao Yun's actions. Just as they were about to question him, Zhao Yun pointed his finger at the folding fan clipped to his waist.

That folding fan was very familiar to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

That was the folding fan that Li Ji rarely left his hand on weekdays, and due to process problems, there was only one in the entire Wu County, which was one of Li Ji's symbols.

Suddenly, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also reacted in an instant, understanding that this was probably Li Ji's arrangement.

Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were completely unaware of it beforehand, and seeing that they were about to be able to kill Lü Bu, they still suppressed the dissatisfaction in their hearts and did not continue to question Zhao Yun's meaning after seeing Li Ji's folding fan.

And Lü Bu, who had broken through the encirclement for more than ten steps, felt a sense of relief after the disaster, and faintly felt that something was not quite right, and immediately stopped the Red Hare Horse, and wanted to turn around and question.

However, before Lü Bu could speak first, Zhao Yun first cupped his hands, and said in a voice that Lü Bu could just hear.

“Marquis Wen's courage is unparalleled in the world. Today, Yun and his two brothers joined forces to win, which is not martial. Please Marquis Wen return to the pass to rest well, and Yun will wait for the day to fight Marquis Wen to the death.”

Suddenly, after hearing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's words, which were more foul-mouthed than the other, Lü Bu suddenly heard Zhao Yun's words that gave him so much face and respect, and the shame and anger in his heart dissipated for the most part. The corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly, and his chin raised slightly, and said.

“You are also not bad, Zhao Zilong of Changshan, right? I, Marquis, remember you, then let's fight again another day.”

Immediately, Zhao Yun raised his voice a little, as if saying excitedly.

“A gentleman's word!”

Lü Bu subconsciously followed and shouted.

“A team of horses cannot overtake it!!!”

“Take care, Marquis Wen!” Zhao Yun said.

Feeling that Zhao Yun's martial virtue was far superior to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and even surpassed Lu Bu by an unknown amount, he immediately felt a sense of camaraderie towards Zhao Yun, and said.

"Zilong, please take care as well."

Then, just as Lu Bu was about to leave, Zhao Yun seemed to suddenly remember something and said in a low voice.

"Marquis Wen, please wait."

"What is it?" Lu Bu asked.

"If I were to simply see Marquis Wen off like this, Yun fears he would be punished by our lord. Please allow me to pursue and 'attack' Marquis Wen for a short distance," Zhao Yun suggested somewhat embarrassedly.
