Chapter 71 Yuan Shao's Silent Loss
On the other side, the coalition forces of the princes gathered again at Hulao Pass, with Yuan Shao still as the leader, and Cao Cao did not compete with him for that false title.

Liu Bei participated alone this time, but he failed to become a lord. Instead, he hid among the crowd as a member of Tao Qian's army.

Obviously, he also knew that after losing his second and third brothers, he no longer had the capital to sit on equal footing with the princes.

Zhang Fei, who was also hiding, missed the opportunity because both of them were hiding.

"Jiang Cheng has four generals under his command, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun. If we want to defeat Jiang Cheng, we must first defeat these four!" Cao Cao said, pointing to Hulao Pass on the sand table.

The princes frowned at this.

"But who can break them?"

This time, the coalition forces do not have Guan Yu who can kill Hua Xiong.

Those four people were not Hua Xiong either.

Zhao Yun and Dian Wei are both very skilled in martial arts. Even if Lu Bu were to go up, he would only have a chance to win, but it would be almost impossible to kill him. As for Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, they have been very low-key in recent years and have basically no achievements.

But with just a little investigation, you will find out that they are now all "Purple Robe Heavenly Masters".

The Purple-robed Heavenly Master of the Taiping Dao is the most powerful being in its system.

Apart from Zhang Jiao, the founder, and Jiang Cheng, the leader, the Purple Robe Heavenly Master has a higher status. Each of them has cultivated supreme supernatural powers. In the previous battle of Handan, Zhang Bao drove a tractor and knocked over Lu Bu.

Zhang Liang was even more of a "sprayer" who ended up trolling Ding Yuan to death.

Under Lu Bu's protection.

With such a mission, what can the princes use to fight?
"I have a method that may be able to defeat the Yan bandits!" Xun Yu said.

Hearing this, everyone looked at him.

"What method?"

"Fighting formation!" Xun Yu said: "Send two top warriors to use the 'Double Dragons Out of Water Formation' to lure the thieves into the formation. Once they enter, relying on the power of the formation, even the most powerful warriors will die on the spot!"

Magic is useless against peerless warriors, and even sorcerers with weak skills cannot handle ordinary generals.

This is recognized.

But there is one exception, and that is using people to arrange the "military formation".

This kind of magic was created specifically for war. Let alone a peerless warrior, even the Overlord Xiang Yu would be defeated if he was surrounded from all sides, no matter how brave he was.

When Liu Bei fought against Cao Cao, he suffered a loss because of his battle formation.

A crushing defeat.

"That's right, the battle formation!" Cao Cao nodded and said, "My general Cao Ren..."

He wanted to send his men to fight, but before he could say it, someone from Yuan Shao's side said, "It's just a double dragon emerging from water formation. There are many people in the army who know how to use this formation. My two brothers can do it too!"

The person who spoke was Yan Liang.

He doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity to make a contribution.

Then Wen Chou also said, "That's right."

"Then let Yan Liang and Wen Chou lead the charge!" Yuan Shao said, "The top generals have all mastered the ten great ancient military formations. If my favorite general arranges them, the Yan bandits will surely be unable to escape!"

He also knew about the defeat of Liu, Guan and Zhang, so he was quite confident in his tactics.

"This……"

Cao Cao wanted to argue, but looking at the princes who were not united, he finally shook his head and said nothing.

Although the formation can deal with extremely powerful generals, there will be casualties as long as troops are dispatched. Yuan Shao is willing to go, and he is also happy to lose as little troops as possible.

However, what neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao had expected was that when Yan Liang and Wen Chou each led their troops and formed a "Double Dragons Emerging from Water Formation" to challenge each other, a man with a red face and long beard riding a bicycle rushed out from the opposite side.

Dragging the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, he rushed straight towards Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

With two swipes, he was chopped off. Jiang Chengdu, who was watching from the top of the city wall, was stunned and couldn't help but mutter: "Is Guan Yu a natural nemesis of Yan Liang and Wen Chou? Why didn't he show his suppressive power when he was under Liu Bei's command?"

In the previous battle of Qingzhou, Guan Yu had fought with these two people.

But because of the poor soldiers, they were defeated.

But at this time, he did not lead any troops, but killed two people by himself.

While they were still arranging their "military formation".

That military formation was simply useless!
"You are showing off your skills in front of an expert!" Zhao Yun said, "These days, Guan Yu has been studying the military formation, just because he doesn't want to repeat the same mistake. With his ability, it is not difficult for him to learn how to break the formation. Yan Liang and Wen Chou led only a few troops, and thought they could destroy the peerless generals by relying on the formation, but they just ran into the muzzle of a gun!"

It turns out that formations are also divided into levels.

Corresponding to "proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons" is "proficient in the ten ancient military formations" and "proficient in breaking formations".

These are all "first-class" levels, and the special ones can be considered top-notch.

But it’s still not peerless!
The sign of a peerless military commander is that he has the ultimate "momentum", perfect spirit, and is invincible. But in addition to this, he must also be "one with the warrior" in martial arts and have his own unique weapons.

The peerless formation was derived from the ten ancient military formations and possessed a "unique formation".

For example, Zhuge Liang’s “Eight Diagrams”.

It was derived from the "Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation", but it has its own unique formation that no one can break.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and even Cao Ren, were only "familiar with military formations" and could not be said to have high attainments. It was okay to bully Guan Yu before, but it was impossible to bully Guan Yu after he learned how to break the formation.

Not only that, the military formation they relied on became a flaw.

Guan Yu quickly broke through and killed them all with two sharp sword strikes.

Carrying two heads, he was about to return to the city.

But at this moment, Liu Bei stood up from the crowd and shouted, "Yun Chang!"

"Brother?" Guan Yu was delighted and rode away on his bicycle.

The people on the city wall showed a look of "as expected", and they finally understood why Jiang Cheng only made a deal with Guan Yu but did not consider subduing him at all - this person could not be subdued at all.

"Brother, brother, you are all here?" Zhang Fei also jumped out.

The three brothers were very happy to meet each other.

But Yuan Shao looked at the head beside Guan Yu, his face darkened, and he said angrily: "Liu Bei, your second brother Guan Yu killed my favorite general, how do you settle this account?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the princes immediately became strange.

Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but after that he did not go back to report and instead joined the coalition forces.

How does this count?
"When two armies fight, each serves its own master, and the casualties are naturally left to fate!" Cao Cao laughed and said, "We can't ask Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to hold them accountable and force the two peerless generals to leave just because two people died, can we?"

This statement was approved by all the princes.

They all said: "Make up for your crime with merit!"

"What enemy generals does Guan Yu fear?"

"This is a ruthless man who can fight against Lu Bu. What's the big deal about killing two trash?"

"Alliance Master Yuan, please put the overall situation first!"

Yuan Shao: "I..."

He has never been to Xichuan, otherwise he would have been so stupid.

However, everyone was on Guan Yu's side and he had no choice.

He could only frown and say, "In that case, it will be up to you, Guan Yu, to challenge the Yan bandits and fight them! I hope you won't let me down!"
