Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Hearing that Tianqing Town was developing as he had expected, Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He was currently quite busy, and if anything unexpected happened, he wouldn't be able to manage both affairs simultaneously.

So much has happened lately, in Yangzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Jiaozhou, and many other places. Thankfully, the Great Wilderness Territory survived…

So now we can focus all our attention on the matter of opposing Dong.

After pondering for a moment, he then looked towards the distant battlefield...

At this moment, only Lü Bu remained on the battlefield… Having easily slaughtered two formidable generals, Lü Bu's strength had already won over many. Therefore, no one else had volunteered for further action…

Riding his Red Hare, Lü Bu mocked, "Hahaha! Are all the warlords of Guandong just chickens and dogs? You were so arrogant before, but now that I've killed two of your generals, have you all become cowards?"

He pointed his halberd at the front of the allied forces, its tip gleaming coldly against the setting sun, adding to its menacing appearance.

"I am right here. Who dares to step forward and fight me? If no one dares to answer, then lay down your armor and surrender now, and offer up Yuan Shao's head. Perhaps I can spare your lives!" Lü Bu continued to taunt.

The Red Hare steed seemed to sense its master's arrogance, pawing heavily with its hooves, exhaling two puffs of white air from its nostrils, and letting out a deafening neigh that echoed across the surrounding area. This startled many of the soldiers' mounts in the allied forces, causing them to retreat in panic and creating a small commotion.

With both master and mount so fierce, the Kwantung Allied Forces dared not utter another sound.

At this moment, Zhang Fei, who was getting closer and closer to the battlefield, saw Lü Bu's arrogance and gritted his teeth, his face turning black and red. He wanted to grab his weapon and charge straight at him.

Unfortunately, his older brother refused... always saying the time wasn't right...

Guan Yu, who was standing nearby, was not paying attention to Lü Bu at the moment, but to Lin Mu.

At this moment, Lin Mu was only accompanied by three burly generals. However, he could sense a strong threat from all three of them.

Two of them were Huang Zhong and Dian Wei. He had already witnessed their fighting prowess; they were not the kind of men who would simply sell their heads for a pittance.

They have four people, and so do they, but their fighting strength is vastly different...

"Third brother, if a battle breaks out, you shouldn't get involved. Your strength is too low. Even a Five-Element Divine General wouldn't have a chance of survival... let alone a Heavenly Rank Martial General..." Guan Yu advised Zhu Xuan beside him.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuan's expression hardened slightly. He had shamelessly followed along precisely because of the reward mentioned in the announcement. He hoped that with the help of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, he could survive the battlefield, or rather, reap the rewards of victory.

According to historical records, in the story of the Three Heroes battling Lü Bu, the three heroes were the victors!
The thought of the reward for victory in the announcement filled him with excitement.

Now that even Guan Yu has said so, does he still dare to continue? If Lu Bu goes berserk and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't protect him, then Barbie Q will be done for…

Guan Yu was not speaking without reason; for someone as arrogant as him to say such a thing on purpose, it must mean the battle is extremely dangerous. But the temptation of the reward is simply too great…

Zhu Xuan glanced at Guan Yu, then at the three divine generals beside Lin Mu, and sighed inwardly, "Their strength is too low; they don't even have the qualifications to participate..."

Lin Mu felt Zhu Xuan's gaze and smiled knowingly. He understood Zhu Xuan's actions; he had painstakingly worked to become the third brother, all for today and for the future... Unfortunately, he was too weak... He didn't even have the right to sit at the table.

Even he summoned the three strongest generals from the Great Wilderness Territory... and he didn't dare to get involved directly, unlike Hua Xiong before.

In fact, Lin Mu had planned for Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Taishi Ci to join Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in attacking Lü Bu. After all, it was already a three-man battle against Lü Bu; what difference would one or two more make?
Getting the reward is the most important thing.

Wouldn't it be even more interesting if six heroes fought Lü Bu...?

Just then, Lü Bu's voice rang out again: "Since no one is willing to fight, then let you go back and have a good discussion... Today's duel is temporarily over, we will continue tomorrow!"

Lin Mu: "???"

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei: "???"

Players: "???"

The feudal lords: "??????"

The world was filled with: "??????"

In an instant, the battlefield, which had been filled with the spirit of battle, became tense and tense because of Lu Bu's words...

Then, to the bewilderment of Lin Mu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, Lü Bu actually led the Red Hare back to Hulao Pass!

This was completely unexpected by everyone... and left the whole world dumbfounded.

This duel only lasted two matches and then it was over? What a letdown...

Perhaps, possibly, or... because the Guandong Coalition didn't send any generals, Lü Bu got impatient and went back to drink... Hmm, that explanation makes sense.

Lin Mu was also a little confused at this moment, because in his previous life, Lu Bu only returned to Hulao Pass after his defeat. He had fought with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei for three days and three nights!

Now... how come it's been refunded?!
In the previous life's duel between generals, after Fang Yue and Mu Shun perished, the third divine general stepped onto the stage and was not killed by Lü Bu... After that, Zhang Fei took the stage...

However, it seems that there was no such arena back then, and Lu Bu's strength was not so terrifying.

Lü Bu's retreat relieved Yuan Shao and other warlords.

At this moment, in the temporary meeting place of the warlords of Guandong, Cao Cao looked at the arrogant and invincible Lü Bu, his face ashen: "This fellow Lü Bu is brave and invincible. Why don't we gather the eighteen warlords together to discuss a good strategy?"

"If we want to break through Hulao Pass, we must first defeat Lü Bu before we have a chance," Alliance Leader Yuan Shao nodded and said.

"Summon all the lords back, especially Sun Jian..." Alliance leader Yuan Shao ordered his confidants.

Soon, several trusted confidants received the order and withdrew to invite the absent feudal lords over.

"But this fellow is so strong, it's difficult to find a general who can handle him."

"It's a pity my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou aren't here... otherwise I would have made sure Lü Bu suffers a terrible fate," Yuan Shao said bitterly.

Upon hearing this, the other lords fell silent. They had already witnessed Lü Bu's bravery; ordinary divine generals, even those who had merged with spirits, seemed no match for him. Their own junior generals decided not to join the fray.

Even Cao Cao did not send Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan into battle at this moment, as it was too dangerous.

Xiahou Dun and his men also abandoned the idea of ​​fighting Lü Bu. They sensed that Lü Bu was far stronger than them!

Therefore, they remained silent.

Soon, a commotion was heard, and Liu Bei returned with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhu Xuan.

When Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, summoned him, this member of the Han imperial family who had come to gain prestige and good fortune, was granted a response.

However, upon seeing Liu Bei's arrival, Yuan Shao frowned slightly.

Why didn't Lin Mu, who was with him, come back?
He then looked towards the distant battlefield and discovered that Lin Mu had disappeared at some point.

Lin Mu, the deputy leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces, was absent from the meeting once again!
Feeling guilty?!

If Lin Mu had come to the meeting, he would have really been given a hard time. Lin Mu also felt he was in the wrong, so he didn't come.

Whether he attends the meeting or not is actually not that significant. He lent all his incredible luck to Liu Bei; how could he not defeat Lü Bu...?

If they defeat Lü Bu and the Guandong Coalition occupies Hulao Pass, then the Guandong Coalition will basically... disintegrate...

"Hmph!" Yuan Shao snorted coldly.

"Leader, esteemed lords, Dong Zhuo is currently at Hulao Pass. To capture Dong Zhuo, we must first defeat Lü Bu. What strategies do you all have?" Cao Cao stood up and asked.

The other lords dared not speak upon hearing this, but Zhang Fei, who was behind Liu Bei, was about to stand up and recommend himself when Guan Yu pulled him back.

Zhang Fei's black face turned even blacker...

"I have a general who can fight Lü Bu!!" After a long silence, someone finally stood up.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who had recommended himself was none other than Kong Rong, the Prefect of Beihai.

"I have a great general under my command named Wu Hong, courtesy name Anguo. This man is exceptionally talented and can rival Lü Bu," said Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, in a low voice.

Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, was a descendant of Confucius. He was neither foolish nor ignorant. His willingness to step forward at this time clearly indicated that he was confident.

"Good!!!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed upon hearing this, as he trusted Kong Rong.

Regardless, at least someone is going to fight, otherwise we'll lose face in front of hundreds of millions of people tomorrow!

Among the assembled lords, Gongsun Zan initially wanted to stand up, but Kong Rong beat him to it, and he didn't say anything more afterward... He'd decide later...

However, what the warlords of Guandong did not know was that Lü Bu did not go into battle the next day!

On the third day, Lü Bu still did not go into battle, as if he had disappeared!

This left the feudal lords completely bewildered...

Lin Mu left in a hurry, not entirely to escape the meeting; they had important matters to attend to.

Following behind them, Yue Jin, Huang Ying, and others also led their troops back to the camp.

Next, the Great Wilderness Territory needs to plan for Xu Rong, in addition to Dong Zhuo's food supplies and population!

The original plan was to ambush and capture Xu Rong before advancing to Hulao Pass, but unfortunately, Dong Zhuo suddenly interrupted the plan...

After arranging the two armies, Lin Mu led Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Taishi Ci to the arena the next morning.

However, Lü Bu did not appear, leaving him waiting for most of the day in vain...

After that, Lu Bu's arrival, just like the news, completely stunned Lin Mu.

Why does the script feel so unfamiliar?!
However, what Lin Mu didn't know was that Lü Bu's refusal to fight wasn't due to injury, nor was it because Dong Zhuo forbade him to fight. He wasn't fighting because he genuinely wasn't at Hulao Pass. (End of Chapter)
