~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since Guan Hai, the Dragon Wolf Guard knelt on the ground and apologized to the lord. Such a serious dereliction of duty is enough to kill people.
Ma Han sat on the big rock on the side of the road, shook his hand and waved his doctor's advice, indicating that nothing happened. He ignored the apology guard and frowned, obviously worried about why.
After a while, the sound of hooves was loud, and Le Jin led several cavalry back and knelt down to Ma Han: "The last general is incompetent and cannot chase the assassin."
But Ma Han exhaled gently and stretched his eyebrows: "It doesn't matter if you can't catch up, the most important thing is that you have nothing to do - if you do this next time, you must report it before you can catch up, do you understand?"
Le Jin's eyes heated up and his head was deeply hung: "Hey!"
Then Ma Han escorted the Dragon Wolf guard who was kneeling on the ground and said, "If the assassin is someone else, I will enforce military laws today, but Guan Yu's words... you can't prevent it no matter what. Each person's salary is fined for half a month, and ten military sticks are taken as a warning."
The dragon and wolf guards all thanked each other, and this was indeed a blessing from outside the law.
This is not because Ma Wu is rude, but because his opponent's strength is far beyond the protection ability of the Dragon Wolf Guard. As the first fast knife hand of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu is known for his rapid attack. With Yan Liang's strength and among the troops, he was actually broken through continuously by Guan Yu and killed with one blow. It is reasonable that more than a dozen Dragon Wolf Cavalry could not stop this great man.
This is because Guan Yu was riding an ordinary war horse seized from Yuan Jun. If he was riding a Red Rabbit and whipped a few more whips, the speed and fast sword would be too late to raise his palm to push it away.
Guan Hai was still angry: "Lord, should you transfer troops back and take his head?"
Ma Wen waved his hand: "You think Guan Yu is stupid. He was just predicting that we were eager to leave and could not return. This was a dangerous blow. Unfortunately, he got the real idea. Xuzhou is a place of right and wrong. Once we are exposed, we must leave as soon as possible, otherwise we may be full of murderous intent."
When Le Jin heard this, he knew that the lord was referring to Cao Cao. If the news reached Cao Cao, he would send people to intercept him.
"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, let alone it won't take that long." Ma Han stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and said lightly, "No matter when this revenge will be avenged, at least I have already collected interest first."
...
"Brother, second brother, I'm back!" Zhang Fei held a package soaked in dry blood and lifted the curtain casually. He raised the package in his hand, "I brought back Ji Ling's head, you brought back...uh!"
The voice came to an abrupt end, and there were only two people sitting in the military tent. The eldest brother Liu Bei and the second brother Guan Yu. The eldest brother had a deep brow, and the second brother was naked, revealing his broad muscles. Behind him is a medical worker who is carefully treating the wound.
The second brother was injured! This was not surprising to Zhang Fei. After seeing Ma Han and Lu Bu fighting, he knew that to kill this person, there was a certain price to pay. The key is whether he succeeded?
Zhang Fei glanced at the desk, but he didn't see the head level, only half of the bloody blade. Zhang Fei's eyes suddenly widened. He recognized that the half of the blade was the second brother's long iron sword, but... why are there four small holes running through the blade?
Zhang Fei threw down his head, stepped forward quickly, grabbed the broken blade on the table, and spread his fingers into it, both big and small, just passing through it.
Zhang Fei's face changed.
Guan Yu let out a sigh of relief: "Third brother understand, this person... is simply not a human! Those who can catch me with bare hands to prepare a blow can't be considered human at all. Hey, I understand how Lu Bu's halberd broke that day. I dare to assert that if Lu Bu didn't stop in time, the next round would be his neck."
Liu Bei said with lingering fear: "The most dangerous time of this person is not when he holds a weapon, but when he is empty-handed."
Liu Bei was afraid that there was a reason, because Guan Yu's surprise attack was not only a personal grudge, but also Liu Bei's plan.
The attack on Ma Han was the consensus of the three brothers. In order to avenge the shame, Guan Yu raised his eyes for his brothers, while Liu Bei made his return to become the lord of Xuzhou one day.
Liu Bei was definitely unwilling to be taken off the throne of Xuzhou Mu. He saw clearly that Lu Bu was in Xuzhou, but the rabbit's tail could not grow. Many famous families in Xuzhou were not optimistic about this Bingzhou people and did not receive the support of local tyrants. It was a matter of time before Lu Bu was expelled. But after expelling Lu Bu, would it be his turn to be the position of governor in this state? Or, even if he could get back to power, if this horse man appeared in Xuzhou again and the target was also Xuzhou Mu, what would he fight with the other party?
Since I can't fight, it's the best way to wipe out the opponent directly from above. Unfortunately, even the second brother who bravely chased Lu Bu failed and was even more injured. The beam became deeper and deeper...
"Ma Jinglong has made a harsh word. It seems that the next time you meet is the time to fight for life and death." Liu Bei rubbed his hands uneasyly, asked the guards to bring a few thorns, and calmed himself down while making up. Then he said to Guan Yu, "I want Gongyou (Sun Qian) to go to Luo again, present treasures to the emperor, and apologize to the General of the Cavalry at the same time..."
Guan Yu shook his head: "Brother, don't bother. Ma Han won't eat this trick. He will only let me take a knife."
Du! Zhang Fei inserted the broken blade heavily into the table, and his anger surged like a tide: "Next time, our brother will join the three of us!"
...
Ji Ling escaped at night, and the dragons were headless, and his military camp was quickly captured. While Lu Bu ordered Liu Bei's army to surround Chen Lan's camp, he gathered troops and attacked Lei Bo. Unexpectedly, before Lu Bu's army reached the gate, Lei Bo had already broken through the camp, but he did not respond to the battle, but ran away.
At the same time, Chen Lan also ran away, and ran faster than Lei Wu. Because Liu Bei had very few soldiers and horses, he couldn't even block the battalion gate, let alone surrounded him. Although he could not intercept Chen Lan, having Ji Ling's head was also a great achievement. Liu Bei was content.
The Battle of Sishui was eventually killed and his entire army was wiped out; Chen Lan and Lei Bo ended with his own loss.
Lu Bu won a great victory.
However, the war has not ended yet. Yuan’s army has seven armies, and now only four armies have been wiped out. The strength of the other three armies is even better than these four armies. If you want to win the final victory, you have to continue your efforts.
At the end of February, after a brief rest for several days, the coalition forces of Lu Bu and Liu Bei crossed the Si River to fight against the Yuan army. They transported troops and grain with a large number of seized ships, and the soldiers rushed along the coast. The coalition forces crossed the Sui River three days later, and after entering a hundred miles, they found the traces of Zhang Xun's troops in Yuan army. But surprisingly, Zhang Xun's army did not go north, but went south... to escape.
Escape before the fight?!
This is not surprising. All four troops were finished. Just relying on Zhang Xun's journey, it would be no different to sending death.
As soon as he received the news that all four people were defeated, Zhang Xun, who had just crossed the Huai River, immediately turned back. Yuan Shu's army had a "good" tradition and was very skilled in applying oil to the soles of his feet. The same was true for the generals. As long as they saw that the situation was not good, they would run away immediately. However, this time, when they met Lu Bu, who was very good at using cavalry, they would probably have no way to run away.
When Zhang Xun's army fled hundreds of miles south and crossed the Huai River again, they were chased by Lu Bu personally led 500 cavalry to defeat the central army and killed Zhang Xun. Four thousand Yuan troops (there were more than 5,000 troops, but they fell behind and disappeared on the way to escape south) were all defeated, and countless people killed and injured and died.
At this time, Lu Bu's rear army and Liu Bei's army also encountered Qiao Rui and Yuan Yin's troops who set out from Long Kang of Yuzhou, detoured by Xiaqiu, and attacked from behind.
Compared with the forces of the two armies, the Yuan army had as many as 8,000, while the coalition forces had less than 4,000 troops, and the number was at an absolute disadvantage. But as mentioned earlier, the soldiers of the Yuan army were to be nice, but in fact, they were mostly strong for the people. Most of them came out to help the individual field, shaking flags and cheering, scaring the county soldiers and other local miscellaneous soldiers. At present, their opponents were Lu Bu's elite soldiers in a hundred battles and the remaining essence of Liu Bei's adversity. The two armies joined forces, let alone Yuan Er, even Yuan Da's elite soldiers in Jizhou, would still be beaten up.
As a result, as soon as the camp came out, the Wuwan cavalry broke into the flank, and Yuan's army was defeated. Gao Shun and Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to block the killing, and Yuan's army was defeated.
In this battle, Qiao Rui was captured, Yuan Yin fled, and Yuan Shu's seven-way army was declared destroyed. A total of ten generals, including Ji Ling and Zhang Xun, were killed, realizing Lu Bu's pre-war declaration: "Fight the general first, then kill the general."
The huge victory made Lu Bu and Liu Bei excited. The two armies advanced side by side, crossing the Huai River and rushing into Huainan. They claimed that they would enter Shouchun (where Yuan Shu was located), the head of the Xiaoyuan Highway.
In early March, the coalition forces of Lu and Liu attacked Zhongli County, Jiujiang County and plundered in large numbers.
At this moment, the coalition forces received news that Yuan Shu personally led 5,000 elite troops to kill Zhongli. This time, Yuan Jun really used his old capital. There were no less than a thousand cavalry alone. This time he was really elite.
At this time, Lu Bu and Liu Bei's army had already fought fiercely for a month, and the soldiers were exhausted. In addition, there were many plunders, and the army had no intention of fighting, so they all wanted to go back and enjoy it. More importantly, Lu Bu did not intend to turn against Yuan Shu completely, and it was enough to give the other party an unforgettable lesson.
Three days later, the Lu and Liu coalition forces withdrew from Zhongli and crossed the Huai River again.
As soon as the crossing was over, smoke and dust on the other side rose, covering the sky and the sun - Yuan Shu's army appeared.
Lu Bu and his followers all laughed at the north of the water, and then rode away.
Half an hour later, a rudder came on a boat and handed a letter to Yuan’s patrol cavalry, saying that the flying general left a letter.
The patrol cavalry immediately flew back to the camp and submitted the letter to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu opened it and saw that it was written by Lu Bu: "The army is strong and powerful. It is often said that the generals and warriors want to swallow each other and stop each other. Although Bu was not brave, the tiger stepped on Huainan and was idle for a while. The rat fled to Shouchun and there was no one who stood out. Where are the powerful generals and warriors?"
"How dare you bully me!" Yuan Shu trembled all over, his face turned pale, and he spit out a mouthful of old blood.
The bright red and white paper dyed a shocking bloody flower.
