My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 347: Defeating the Allied Forces
Therefore, Mu Shun was unwilling to stay and die, even if he had to flee in disgrace under the gaze of nearly 500,000 troops from the two armies.

"Hmph! Rat!"

After chasing for a few steps, Dian Wei wisely gave up this useless effort.

After all, Mu Shun had a horse, and no matter how strong Dian Wei was without a horse, he could not outrun a galloping horse.

"Don't leave, rat!"

Although Xu Huang also had a horse, he was some distance away from Mu Shun and could not catch up with him in such a hurry. He could only watch Mu Shun escape safely back to the allied camp.

"Huh... I finally survived..."

After Mu Shun looked back, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Just as he was about to shout excitedly, suddenly a huge force penetrated his body from his back and went out to his chest.

In severe pain, Mu Shun looked down in confusion.

He suddenly discovered that there was an arrow stained with his own blood stuck in his chest.

"who is it……"

Mu Shun tried hard to turn his head to see who shot him, but his life force disappeared halfway through his turn. He trembled and fell off his horse.

"Humph, you cowardly rat!"

On the top of Hulao Pass, Lu Bu put down the precious carved bow in his hand and snorted with disdain.

"General Lu Bu's great shooting skill!"

"General Dian Wei is so great!"

"General Xu Huang is mighty!"

In an instant, three of the coalition's three cavalrymen were killed, and Lu Yi's side won a great victory.

Seeing this, the soldiers inside Hulao Pass couldn't help but shout excitedly.

On the other hand, among the Guandong coalition forces, from the leader Yuan Shao to the various princes and even the ordinary soldiers, everyone looked as if they had lost their parents.

Not only did they look extremely ugly, but they also had no morale at all.

He sent six generals in succession, but they were all defeated and killed.

In this duel, the Guandong coalition suffered a great defeat.

"My lord, the morale of the bandits in Guandong is completely gone. Why don't we break out of the pass now? When else?"

Seeing that his side had won a great victory, Zhang Fei excitedly threw away the drumstick in his hand, and hurried to Lu Yi to give him repeated advice.

"Yide is right!"

"Pass my order, all troops go out to kill the enemy!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi immediately nodded affirmatively, and then personally led the generals and soldiers to open the city gates and charge towards the Guandong coalition camp.

Historically, after Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong, Zhang Fei also persuaded the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to take the opportunity to conquer Luoyang.

However, the Yuan brothers expelled Liu, Guan and Zhang on the grounds that they felt offended.

Face is important.

But it is not the most important thing for the Yuan brothers.

Keeping the enemy at bay for personal protection is a traditional skill of officers and soldiers.

If Dong Zhuo was killed easily, it would be hard to imagine how the achievements of the Yuan brothers and other princes would be accumulated.

Furthermore, if after bringing back Emperor Xian of Han, would they obediently give up their power and become loyal subjects?
Or is he greedy for power and benefits and wants to become a powerful official like Dong Zhuo?
This problem is very serious.

Your coalition forces launched an uprising under the pretext of expelling traitors and welcoming the emperor.

It has the same meaning as "clearing the court".

If the traitors are eliminated, they themselves will inevitably become traitors.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo and Lu Yi are different.

Dong Zhuo still had illusions about the aristocrats, and in fact was willing to spend a lot of money to win over the obedient aristocrats.

However, Dong Zhuo flirted with the nobles, but the nobles not only ignored it, but also regarded Dong Zhuo, who had taken away their cake and cake, as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh, and they wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

However, Dong Zhuo's attempt to win over the princes did have some effect. At least it made the princes in Guandong see that Dong Zhuo's desire to move eastward was not strong.

Therefore, historically, the Kanto coalition's willingness to attack was not very high.

Even though their entire family was killed by Dong Zhuo, the Yuan Shao brothers did not engage in a decisive battle with Dong Zhuo, or pursue Dong Zhuo who moved the capital.

But now it is different. Lu Yi, who is familiar with the course of history, knows very well what these so-called aristocratic families and powerful people are.

Therefore, preparations were made from the outset to completely eradicate these insects that were sucking the blood and marrow out of the court and the people.

This angered the heroes in Kanto, and their desire to attack became much stronger.

Even if Lu Yi did not kill the Luoyang nobles, they would definitely fight to the death with Lu Yi.

Lu Yi is planning to eat alone. If they don't kill Lu Yi, they will starve to death.

However, due to internal friction and filth, although the princes of Guandong are more united than the same period in history, it can only be said that their unity is limited.

However, now with the appearance of Lu Yi, history has changed.

Although Zhang Fei said the same words, they sounded different when heard by the same person.

Lu Yi and the princes of Guandong were at loggerheads, and more importantly, he wanted to have the upper hand alone.

Then all the benefits and territories that the princes of Guandong have swallowed up must be spit out.

Therefore, Lu Yi immediately accepted Zhang Fei's advice, and led his generals to combine the 150,000 troops and attack.

The reason why Lu Yi did this was that he relied on the confidence of having elite troops from Bingzhou, Youzhou and Liangzhou under his command.

Another point is that Lu Yi had already secretly made full preparations for this. At this moment, there was a nail that Lu Yi had placed for a long time in the camp of the princes, which was about to play a crucial role.

"not good!"

"Lü Yi's entire army is attacking!"

"We will quickly gather our troops and fight with Lu Yi!"

Yuan Shao was shocked when he saw this, and immediately summoned the princes to give orders.

Now, 300,000 coalition troops have gathered in front of Hulao Pass. If they passively avoid fighting, their food supply will be easily cut off by Lu Yi.

Lu Yi only needed to send a cavalry of 10,000 people behind the coalition forces to completely block the grain route from Guandong to the coalition camp.

For an army of 300,000, the daily food and rations for the people and horses would be an astronomical figure.

Even if the food supply is cut off for only ten days, the seemingly powerful coalition will collapse.

Yuan Shao and the princes' original idea was to capture Hulao Pass and Wugu Pass, so that their food supply routes would be as stable as Mount Tai, allowing them to advance and retreat freely, and then they could slowly move towards Luoyang.

Therefore, facing the attack of Lu Yi's entire army.

Yuan Shao had no choice but to organize the princes and try to resist Lu Yi's attack with twice the number of people.

However, the coalition forces had lost all morale due to the heavy defeat they had just suffered.

The princes had their own ulterior motives, and at this critical moment of life and death, they planned to preserve their strength and watch the other princes and Lu Yi suffer losses.

However, even if the princes fought with all their strength, they could only defend against the attack of Lu Yi's army.

Now, each state acts on its own, which makes them defenseless against Lu Yi's three-state cavalry.

They were immediately defeated by the Northern Iron Cavalry led by Lu Yi!
"None of these boys are worth a try!"

Yuan Shao was helpless. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he immediately and decisively decided to preserve his strength, lead his troops out of the battlefield, return to Bohai, and not plan any bigger plans.

However, Lu Yi was not going to let the rebel leader Yuan Shao go, and immediately led his army to attack Yuan Shao.

The 150,000 Northern Iron Cavalry, like a huge wave, hit the bewildered and stupid Kanto Allied Forces camp.

boom!
After the huge waves, no fish or crabs remain.

If it is said that Yuan Shao's 300,000 coalition forces could barely deal with Lu Yi's 50,000 Bingzhou cavalry before.

Now that Lu Yi has absorbed 100,000 Xiliang cavalry, the military strength has skyrocketed from 50,000 to 150,000.

Dong Zhuo's life savings can be said to have been used to help Lu Yi.

Therefore, the advantage of the Kanto coalition forces was greatly weakened to the point of being non-existent.

The soldiers under Lu Yi also knew that such a war was unprecedented.

And the military achievements were naturally unprecedented.

Therefore, 150,000 northern soldiers fought hard, fearing that they would fall behind and their heads would be snatched away by others. With the support of the soldiers like tigers descending from the mountains, Lu Yi quickly caught up with Yuan Shao's defeated troops.

"Benchu, we are old friends again, why do we have to be so distant?"

"Why don't you stop and chat with your old friend?"

Lu Yi chased Yuan Shao and laughed heartily.

However, Yuan Shao, who was teased by Lu Yi, had a gloomy face and looked very serious.

"Oops!"

"I was caught up by this Lu Yi!"

"It seems like we won't be able to escape today!"

After Yuan Shao glanced at the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou beside him, he deliberately put on a sad look.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou didn't know that they had been abandoned by Yuan Shao in his heart, but immediately spoke out their loyalty.

"Don't worry, my lord. The two of us will go and kill Lu Yi."

"That's right, my lord, you go ahead. After we kill Lu Yi, we will meet up with you later!"

"In such a critical moment, the two generals are so loyal!"

"It is true that strong winds reveal strong grass, and turbulent times reveal loyal ministers!"

"Take care, Generals! I'll be waiting for you in Bohai!"

After Yuan Shao pretended to take out two drops of horse urine, he immediately rode away without looking back.

Now at this critical moment of life and death, Yuan Shao could no longer care about Yan Liang and Wen Chou, two rare first-class generals.

No matter how valuable a brave general is, is his own life as valuable?
"Lu Yi! Stop hurting my master!"

"Fight me for three hundred rounds if you have the guts!"

Yan Liang attacked Lu Yi with a spear in hand.

"Yes, I heard that you are also a good fighter. Today I will compete with you!"

Wen Chou, who was standing aside, also became eager to fight and rushed towards Lu Yi.

"Crack!"

"Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, I order you two to take the heads of these two generals. If you fail, bring them to me!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Seeing this, Lu Yi ignored the two of them and gave a faint order to the people behind him. Then two generals rode out and stopped the furious Yan Liang and Wen Chou respectively.

Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou were invincible in Hebei throughout history, they were called the Two Pillars of Hebei.

But when he met Guan Yu, he was killed by Guan Yu among thousands of troops.

Guan Yu even told people many times that Zhang Fei's martial arts were better than his.

Therefore, Lu Yi sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who could easily intercept Yan Liang and Wen Chou and kill them.

He continued to lead generals such as Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Zhang He to pursue Yuan Shao.

Now that Yuan Shao is at the end of his rope, it is time to give him a beating.

It is better to chase the poor bandits with courage, not to be a famous scholar!
How could Lu Yi miss this golden opportunity to hunt down the enemy?

The brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were spared before, just taking advantage of the influence of Yuan Shao and three officials in the Yuan family for four generations.

Now the rebels in Kanto have assembled.

They can be captured in one fell swoop, so the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have lost their usefulness.

Naturally, I will hunt him down to death.

On the contrary, if these two were let go, even if their influence could not shake Lu Yi's victory, delaying Lu Yi's unification of the country by one or two years would also be a huge loss for Lu Yi.

Therefore, it is not just Yuan Shao, but also Yuan Shu.

These two people will definitely die today.

"Get off my horse!"

Lu Bu, who had been following Lu Yi and chasing Yuan Shao, seized the opportunity, bent his bow and shot an arrow at Yuan Shao's horse.

The warhorse under Yuan Shao's crotch had already been frightened by the defeat.

After being hit by an arrow, he became even more panicked and immediately threw Yuan Shao off his horse.

"Haha, I didn't expect to meet Benchu ​​again so soon after we parted in Luoyang."

Lu Yi slowed down his horse, rode up to Yuan Shao and said with a smile.

"I, Yuan Shao, have fallen into your hands today. I am doomed!"

"But Lu Yi, don't think that I, Yuan Shao, will bow to you!"

"Kill me if you want, cut me up if you want, it's all up to you!"

When Yuan Shao saw that he was surrounded by Lu Yi and his men, he knew that his way out was cut off, so he simply cursed Lu Yi.

"Good! He's a real man."

Lu Yi nodded, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he stepped forward and cut off Yuan Shao's head with a halberd.

A stream of dirty blood splashed.

Yuan Shao, the contemporary helmsman of the Yuan family of Runan, the synonym of great ambition but little talent, and the best example of being good at making plans but unable to make decisions, was thus capitulated.

"One solved, there's still one left!"

After killing Yuan Shao, Lu Yi did not stop, but continued to lead his generals to chase Yuan Shu, who had already realized the situation was not good and fled in advance.

If you say you want to kill the entire Yuan family, then you must kill the entire family.

The most important thing for a family is to be together and everyone should be there!
On the other side, Yuan Shu, who was gradually moving away from the battlefield and was about to completely leave the battlefield, was blocked by thousands of elite soldiers.

"I am Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of the Yuan family. Who dares to stop me?"

With his way of survival blocked, Yuan Shu could not help but burst into cursing.

But when he saw that the person who stopped him was his ally, the Sun family, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and immediately changed his words.

"Oh, it's General Sun!"

"General Sun, you have arrived just in time. The Lu bandits are now so powerful that we cannot stop them. General Sun, please retreat with me."

"I want to go to Yangzhou and defend Jiangdong to protect myself. I will be the governor of Yangzhou, and General Sun can be the governor of Wujun!"

Yuan Shu’s daydreaming was very good.

But Sun Jian's next words immediately shattered his daydream.

"You are the governor of Yangzhou?"

"Then what do I do?"

"To tell you the truth, the Marquis of Jin and I have a long history. He issued a secret order for me to join the coalition long before it was formed."

"Do you think that with a deputy leader like you who doesn't give out any food for half a month, I, Sun Jian, would be so stupid as to die for you Yuan clan?"

"The Marquis of Jin has promised me that as long as I take your head, I will report to the emperor and grant me the post of governor of Yangzhou."

"Today, I am waiting here just to cut off your head in exchange for the Yangzhou Mu seal!"

Sun Jian smiled coldly, drew the ancient ingot knife from his waist and pointed it directly at Yuan Shu.

"what!"

"You, Sun Jian, actually betrayed me!?"

Yuan Shu was furious when he heard this, and his face turned red because of the atmosphere.

"What a joke! I, Sun Jian, am not a retainer of your Yuan family. How could I betray you?"

"Instead, you stupid dog, actually tried to make an enemy of the Marquis of Jin!"

"Betraying the Marquis of Jin is betraying the imperial court. Your Yuan family is the traitor!"

Sun Jian burst into laughter upon hearing this.
