I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 431
The night of fighting gradually passed, and the sky not far away was already pale.

I think today will be a good weather, but even though the weather is good, the hearts of those who are running away are all gloomy.

After running away all night, Lu Bu finally led his troops to stop to rest.

At this moment, with a gray face and blood all over his body, he dismounted from the red rabbit horse with a face full of frustration, and sat on the spot panting heavily.

Zhang Liao also led a group of soldiers with a tired face, guarding Lu Bu's side.

After arranging for the soldiers to rest, Zhang Liao ordered people to go around to recruit the scattered Bingzhou army generals.

But as the scouts came back one after another, the voices of their replies made Lu Bu and Zhang Liao's hearts feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and they were extremely cold.

"Reporting to Captain Du, all the battalions have been burned down by the Northern Army. The soldiers of each battalion have died and dispersed. There is only scorched earth left in the battalion. There is no one there, and no one can be summoned."

When Lu Bu heard the news, sadness and remorse suddenly appeared on his face.

Tens of thousands of soldiers fought fiercely overnight, but now they have nothing left behind, which shows how heavy the casualties were in this battle.

But Lu Bu still didn't give up, he thought about waiting.

At this time Zhang Liao persuaded Lu Budao, "People's hearts are scattered and cannot be reused. The three armies are scattered and it is extremely difficult to gather together. Although Liu Jian does not pursue us, he is afraid of repeating it. If Zhang Fei and others lead an army, we will be in danger. After a short rest, we need to start immediately."

Facing Zhang Liao's persuasion, although Lu Bu repeatedly nodded in agreement, he still did not move in the end.

He said to himself:
"I think that since I fought, I have been invincible in all states and border counties. After entering the Central Plains, I have rarely met opponents. The only one who can fight me in the world is Liu Jian and Zhang Fei's Hebei army..."

"Although I was defeated by Liu Jian in the previous round, it was because of Hu Zhen's petty nature that he deliberately deceived me, which led to the defeat...but I, I... never thought that I would be able to encounter the same situation when I led the army alone. Such a big defeat."

When he said this, Lu Bu's tiger eyes were faintly red, and his lips seemed to tremble a little.

But he finally knew that a man would not shed tears lightly. As a famous general in Bingzhou, Lu Bu did not allow himself to show his cowardly side in front of others.

He quickly took back his emotions!
Lu Bu's lonely state fell into Zhang Liao's eyes.

Zhang Liao wanted to comfort him, but he swallowed the words.

Just because Zhang Liao didn't know how to comfort Lu Bu after such a big defeat.

"hiss……"

Zhang Liao suddenly showed a painful expression on his face, and then stretched out his hand to touch his waist, and unknowingly, beads of sweat dripped down on his forehead.

Lu Bu was shocked when he saw this, he hurried forward to support Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Liao waved his hand lightly, and said: "Don't worry, captain, there is nothing serious, but last night, when he fought against a general from Hebei, he hit the lower back with the hilt of his knife. Above me... but fortunately, I only suffered a blunt injury, so it's not a serious problem."

Hearing what Zhang Liao said, Lu Bu showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Among the generals in Hebei, apart from Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang and others, is there anyone who can hurt you?"

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly.

To be honest, he really didn't know why there were so many fierce men who were used to fighting under Liu Jian's command.

In just a few years, Liu Jian's strength was almost equal to that of Dong Zhuo.

In this world, there is no second person who can do this.

"Hey, even though it was a stolen battalion in this fight with the Hebei Army, I have already discovered that the combat power of the Hebei Army is vastly different from the last time we met, especially that Zhang Fei, who seems to have grown up again. Quite a few, these subordinates of Liu Deran may not be able to fight against me in the future..."

Zhang Liao turned his head, and said to Lv Bu with a serious face, "What Captain Du said is wrong."

Lu Bu looked at him in surprise.

Zhang Liao frowned and looked at Lu Bu: "Zhang Fei can grow up, but the captain can't?"

Lu Bu was taken aback when he heard this.

Zhang Liao said: "Although the last official doesn't know what kind of person Zhang Fei is, he also knows that he has a rift with the captain and they have a deep hatred for each other. Improving one's own ability, training martial skills, training soldiers hard...but what Zhang Fei can do, why can't the captain?"

"Could it be that the captain is so willing to be surpassed by him, and let the northern thief ride on his neck?"

"No matter what the captain thinks, I, Zhang Liao, am by no means a self-confident person!"

"Seeing how strong the Hebei troops are today, with so many powerful generals, I, Zhang Liao, am terrified, but also very happy!"

"In this world, there will eventually be a strong soldier who can compete with us! What a blessing!"

Lu Bu was immediately moved when he heard this.

He stared blankly at Zhang Liao for a long while, then suddenly heaved a long sigh.

"Wen Yuan is young, but his arrogance is far superior to mine. In time, your skills and achievements will be far superior to mine!"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "I never thought about these things."

Lu Bu sighed, "Wen Yuan is right!"

"The ring-eyed thief can change this, so can I, Lu Bu!"

"However, according to Wenyuan's opinion, how should Lu train himself in the future... Is it martial skills or the ability to use soldiers?"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "If the captain really wants to change and not lose to Zhang Fei, then judging from the future, what the captain needs to change is not martial skills and military skills, but vision and heart! Think of yourself as a military officer of one side of the county, but look at the world from the perspective of the world, and come to taste the heroes of the world!"

Lu Bu nodded slowly, turned his head to look down the hillside, and those soldiers who escaped with him and survived, said slowly: "If it weren't for Bu's shallow knowledge, how long would it be possible for the sons and daughters to suffer such a catastrophe?" .”

Speaking of this, Lu Bu seemed to suddenly think of something.

He turned his head to look at Zhang Liao, and wondered, "It's just that I was fighting with Zhang Fei today. It was originally a dangerous situation, but that Zhang Fei seemed to let me go on purpose. I don't know why?"

Zhang Liao said: "If Zhang Fei used to be, would he do this?"

Although Lu Bu didn't meet Zhang Fei many times, he also knew that he had a fiery temper and a straightforward personality through fighting him several times. If it was the original Zhang Fei, if he saw that he could trap me to death, he would definitely not act like this... "

Zhang Liao clasped his hands and said, "This may be where Zhang Fei has already advanced, but since Zhang Fei has already advanced, the captain cannot lose to him. The captain should think carefully about why Zhang Fei is acting like this today! I hope the captain will not Lose to Zhang Fei!"

Lu Bu frowned, and sat on the spot with a puzzled expression.

He looked up at the sky, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

Yeah, why the hell?Why did Zhang Fei let him go on purpose...

"Captain, if you want to think carefully, definitely don't think about it here, please get on your horse, let's evacuate here and make plans, how about it?"

Lv Bu nodded, then got on his horse with Zhang Liao, commanded the defeated soldiers, and continued their escape journey.

The group of people galloped extremely fast, and after galloping for half a full day, they stopped to rest after confirming that the pursuers would never catch up again.

Along the way, Lu Bu has been thinking about that question, why did Zhang Fei let himself go!

Now that Zhang Fei has grown up, he absolutely cannot lose to him!

If Zhang Fei can change, so can Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was contemplating on the horse when he inadvertently turned his head and saw a bird's nest in a nearby tree.

And in the bird's nest, a baby bird fell from a tall tree.

one, two...

When Lu Bu looked up, he saw that the bird's nest was not attacked by any raptor or beast!

Even in the bird's nest, there are no adult males or females, perhaps they flew out to look for food for the children...

Suddenly, Lu Bu seemed to have suddenly opened his eyes.

What did he figure out in an instant!
"I understand!"

Lu Bu was talking to himself, and slowly said these four words.

……

……

In Lutan, tens of thousands of Hebei sergeants were cleaning the battlefield, counting the number of heads and prisoners, and checking the captured luggage in order to report to Liu Jian.

Last night's victory was quite fruitful.

First of all, Liu Jian led the crowd to defeat the [-] elites of Lu Bu and Niu Fu.

Among them, [-] elite troops belong to Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army. These soldiers will be the most elite troops under Lu Bu's command. The rest of the Bingzhou Army is still in Guanzhong. not far off.

But as far as Lu Bu himself is concerned, this battle can be said to have seriously injured his vitality.

In addition, in addition to the great achievement in defeating the enemy, in this battle, Lu Bu's Yuan Cong generals Wei Yue and Cheng Lian died in battle. This was not only a loss for Lu Bu, but also a huge loss for Dong Zhuo.

At the same time, the person who was shot by Huang Zhong under the horse was Lu Bu's brother-in-law, Wei Xu!

This person is not only Lu Bu's general, but also his relative. Now that he was shot and wounded by Huang Zhong, and he was captured alive, he will definitely be a good bargaining chip for Liu Jian in the future.

And Yan Liang, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang and others also brought Liu Jian a big gift.

That was Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, who had entered the palace for the second time and was captured alive by them in front of Liu Jian.

One is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and the other is Lv Bu's wife and brother, and they are all captured alive by Liu Jian... Now, Liu Jian can make a lot of money.

In this battle, Liu Jian beat the powerful Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army to the ground with lightning speed. important people...

But Liu Jian didn't seem to be interested in these things.

He just called his good brother Zhang Fei to his tent to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

"Wide."

"Brother!"

Liu Jian rubbed his hands, smiled and looked at the younger brother who had become a qualified general in front of him, his face was full of relief.

He opened his mouth and asked: "Last night when we fought with the Bingzhou army, you were in charge of restraining Lu Bu... It's just that someone told me that Lu Bu was in danger at that time, and you had already entangled Lu Bu, but at the last moment, you seemed to let him go on purpose. ...is there any such thing?"

Zhang Fei groaned for a moment, then nodded with certainty: "Return to my elder brother! There is this matter!"

"how so?"

Zhang Fei said solemnly: "Actually, in northern Xinjiang these years, I have often commented on world affairs with Wen Ruogong, Brother Yun and others, and listened to their analysis of the world situation... According to my brother, at this time, Lu Bu must not die!"

Liu Jian had a gratified expression on his face.

"Wide!"

"Brother, forgive me!"

"Nonsense, what are you guilty of?! You can be on the battlefield and still have a big picture in your mind. I feel very comforted for my brother!"
