Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 159 The Five Tiger Generals are in my hands! (Thanks to the monthly ticket from book friend 2024…8978~)

Huang Zhong never thought that he would lose to his opponent in the archery skill that he was most proud of!
The opponent only used the second arrow to directly break his third arrow, and even hit his shoulder...

In addition, the opponent's power is restricted.

Even in such a favorable situation, Huang Hansheng could still lose...the opponent's archery skills were definitely not inferior to his!

Seeing Huang Zhong's dejected look, Lu Bu rode up to him on horseback and praised him:

"The old general's archery skills are truly unrivaled in the world!
"If you hadn't set the rule that even if the score is a tie, I win, it would have been really hard for me to defeat you!"

Huang Zhong sneered:
“Don’t be modest in front of me. If I can’t beat you in the area I’m best at, then that’s my failure!
"What's more, you haven't shot the third arrow yet!"

Lu Bu shook his head:

"General Huang's arrows are deadly arrows!
“In a life-and-death battle without any restraints, your archery skills are absolutely unmatched!
“Even for me, it’s hard to guarantee that every arrow will hit the target when the target is moving at high speed.

"But you just shot three arrows at me accurately!

“Although I dodged or deflected these three arrows, that was because you didn’t use your full strength.

“If you really use this Wanshi bow without any scruples, the speed and power of the arrow will be much stronger than before.

"I believe that even I may not be able to dodge three arrows!"

Lu Bu's explanation sounded like a spring breeze to Huang Zhong's ears.

Huang Zhong couldn't help but look at the man in front of him again, and finally took the initiative to bow to him:
"As expected of you, the Demon Lord of Martial Slaughter and the most powerful general in the world! I, Huang Hansheng, am completely convinced!"

Lu Bu was a little surprised:

"The old general guessed my identity?"

Huang Zhong dismounted from his horse, bowed to Lu Bu and said with a smile:

“I have said that there is only one person in this world who can defeat me within ten moves.

"If you are not Lü Wenhou, is there another Lü Wenhou in this world?"

After saying this, Huang Zhong and Lu Bu burst into laughter at the same time.

Lu Bu also dismounted and saluted Huang Zhong solemnly:

“Since General Huang has recognized me, I will not hide anything.

“I have heard of General Huang’s great name since I was in Lujiang, and have always wanted to come and pay him a visit.

"Last time, I sent my trusted general Wei Yan, but I never thought that this guy would offend the old general.

"I brought him here specifically to apologize to the old general."

Having said that, Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Wei Yan who was already walking towards him obediently.

Without Lu Bu's order, Wei Yan took the initiative to step forward and bowed to Huang Zhong to apologize:

"I was rude last time and offended the old general. I hope the old general will forgive me!
"In fact, after fighting with you, General, I know that you are very capable!

"It's just that I've always been outspoken and didn't think too much about it. I didn't mean to insult the old general. Please forgive me, old general!"

After listening to Wei Yan's sincere apology and seeing his humble attitude which was completely different from before, Huang Zhong's anger had long subsided.

He took the initiative to lift up Wei Yan's shoulders and said calmly:
"You guys, apart from your foul mouth, are actually pretty good at swordsmanship and martial arts.

"But if you can learn half of Wen Hou's politeness, it will benefit you throughout your life!"

Wei Yan smiled and nodded:
"The old general is right!"

Seeing that Huang Zhong and Wei Yan had reconciled, Lu Bu smiled secretly.

It seems that he really defeated the other party this time, otherwise the other party's attitude would not be so good.

Lu Bu took the opportunity to say to Huang Zhong:

"The world is in chaos now, and we need heroes like the old general to pacify the country!" "Please lend me a helping hand, old general!"

As he spoke, Lu Bu's tall figure bent down in front of countless people!
Faced with Lu Bu's repeated courtesy, Huang Zhong had long let go of his stereotypes about him.

He held Lu Bu's arms and couldn't help but sigh:

"Let alone the fact that I lost the bet, based on Marquis Wen's attitude towards me, I have no reason to refuse you."

As he spoke, Huang Zhong knelt on one knee in front of Lu Bu, clasped his hands together and said:
"If Marquis Wen does not forsake me, then I will let Huang use this half-old body to offer my lord the power of a bow!"

Hearing Huang Zhong's words, Lu Bu's mouth corners curled up exaggeratedly, and the next moment he couldn't help but burst into laughter!
One of the Five Tiger Generals is finally in my hands!
Lu Bu immediately helped Huang Zhong up, his face filled with endless joy:
"With the old general's help, I can not only obtain Jingzhou, but also have a chance to obtain the whole world!"

Hearing these ambitious words, Huang Zhong couldn't help but laugh.

Some things are better left to everyone knowing.

The Han Dynasty declined, even though his name contained the character "Zhong" and his courtesy name contained "Hansheng".

But he knew that with the court's current capabilities, it would be almost impossible to rebuild the Han Dynasty.

Since Lü Wenhou has the ambition to unify the world, as long as he is good to the people, it doesn’t matter to Huang Zhong whether the world is ruled by the Liu or the Lü clan!

At this time, Liu Pan on the tower had already run down and bowed to Lu Bu and said:
"You County Magistrate Liu Pan greets Lord Wenhou!"

Liu Pan?

Lu Bu looked at the man in front of him with a blue scarf on his head and a fierce face. He vaguely heard of the other person's name.

Chen Shou commented on this guy: "He was brave and often attacked Ai and Xi'an counties."

Let’s not talk about whether his act of invading other counties is good or not.

Since he was praised as brave by Chen Shou, the author of "The Three Kingdoms", he must have had some martial arts skills.

Moreover, the other party is Liu Biao's nephew, and to a certain extent represents Liu Biao's power.

If he could be given more power, he would be able to better deepen the relationship with Liu Biao's old subordinates.

Lu Bu immediately greeted Liu Pan and promoted him to the position of Changsha County Magistrate and Colonel.

Liu Pan, who was promoted as soon as they met, was overjoyed and kowtowed to Lu Bu!

Afterwards, Liu Pan invited everyone into the city and prepared to entertain them!
However, on the way to the county government, the group encountered a funeral on the street, blocking their way.

Liu Pan was displeased and immediately ordered his men to drive away those who were handling the funeral and ask them to make way.

However, at this moment, a man in a crimson-purple robe with a slightly arrogant temperament suddenly walked out and stopped Liu Pan and said:
"Sir! Mourning is a serious matter for the people! Although occupying the streets is indeed inappropriate, we should not directly drive them away.

"If you can take the initiative to take a detour, wouldn't it show your love for the people and win more people's hearts?"

Liu Pan nodded:

"Bo Xu's words make sense, but Marquis Wen is here. How can we let such a noble body of Marquis Wen make way for the people?"

Without waiting for the purple-robed man to respond, Lu Bu simply waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter. These people will be our people in the future, and we will rely on them to pay taxes.

"They are our bread and butter. What's the harm in giving way to them?"

Hearing Lu Bu's words, the purple-robed man showed a hint of surprise and admiration, and immediately bowed and praised:
"Wen Hou is wise!"

Lu Bu looked at the man in purple with interest:

"I don't know your name?"

The man in purple quickly bowed and said:

"My name is Huan Jie, nice to meet Marquis Wen!"
