Chapter 171: Hulao Pass Ten Years Later, Shocked Traveler

[A deafening roar echoed in my ears, lingering for a long time, as if it was going to shake the heaven and earth.]

[The golden light fell, and the "King of the Grassland" on the throne, a great lord, was now firmly nailed to the ground by a golden arrow, unable to move. Blood gushed out like a fountain, quickly dyeing the surrounding grass red, shocking the sight.]

[The "King of the Grassland" endured the severe pain, his eyes penetrated the thick fog, and looked at the towering city wall thirty miles away, but he could only barely catch a glimpse of a vague outline.]

[The king's personal guard stretched out his hand to pull out the "golden arrow", and the moment he touched the arrow, a puff of black smoke rose from his palm. He raised his hand in pain, only to see that the palm that was tightly holding the arrow had already exposed the white bones.]

[“Such a domineering force… This arrow is actually the result of the general’s divine will and aura?!” The guard was terrified and muttered to himself.]

[No one could pull out the golden arrow, and the 100,000-strong army of the grassland could only watch as the life flame of the "King of the Grassland" gradually extinguished.]

[The "King of the Grassland" fell, and the great demon carrying the throne also disappeared from the world. Their flags fluttered weakly in the wind. The aliens of the grassland looked up and saw that the clouds were cut by an invisible sword, leaving a long crack that was slowly healing. The wall was right in front of them, like a natural moat, which made everyone fearful and no one dared to take a step forward easily. ]

[They didn't know how long they had been in this strange silence.]

[When the first ray of morning light penetrated the clouds and illuminated the land, the sky finally brightened. ]

[Finally, the 100,000-strong army on the grassland slowly retreated, leaving behind only an empty and desolate landscape.]

[After that, for five hundred years, this land became a taboo place. Some foreign races even moved away overnight, away from this troubled place, hoping to draw a clear line with everything here, the farther the better.]

【The farther, the better. 】

[On the pass. The army was on alert all night, but they received news that the grassland king and the throne monster had fallen in the army. Then, they received news that the grassland army of 100,000 quietly retreated at dawn.]

[The young hero standing with a bow in hand simply shot three arrows into the sky.]

[They looked up at the originally not very tall figure. At that moment, his image gradually became majestic in the eyes of everyone, so tall that it seemed to be able to support the entire world.]

【Throughout history, there has never been such a heart-stirring feat. 】

[Since then, the name Lu Bu has become the undisputed number one general in the world in their hearts! ]

【Once this happened, the whole world was shocked. 】

[Some people think that Dong Zhuo's pursuit of military merit was absurd, while others think that the power of the "divine soldiers" was beyond measure.]

[Some people also think that "Lü Bu" has reached the legendary "Seventh Realm of Martial Arts", but the Seventh Realm of Martial Arts is only equivalent to a "Heavenly God General" who has to kill a strong man of the same level in a huge army. ]

[It is as difficult as ascending to heaven.]

[The most reasonable guess is that "Lü Bu" broke through the seventh realm of martial arts, and with his mastery of military tactics, he defeated the "King of the Grassland" and was able to accomplish the feat of beheading the general in front of the battle.]

[Opinions vary.]

[Not long after, the emperor issued a huge reward. After all, the grassland king had already died and had already left the stage early in this catastrophe.]

[However, because the battle started well but ended badly, and no one was found dead, the emperor only promoted Dong Zhuo.]

[Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo's generals drank and chatted happily, and ate heartily. The next day they were going back to the small county on the border.]

[Dong Zhuo tried to persuade him to stay. He had used the "Lü Bu" experience card. It was not because of some "life-destroying" evil magic as rumored by the outside world. In fact, it was purely because of Lü Bu's extraordinary strength that he had entered the seventh realm of martial arts.]

[On the top of the city wall, he was right behind Lü Bu and saw with his own eyes that after Lü Bu fired three arrows, his breath did not weaken.]

[Lü Bu gave Dong Zhuo three strands of divine thoughts, saying that they could save lives in times of crisis.]

[Three years passed quickly. With the remaining power of this victory, Dong Zhuo conquered various tribes and captured more than 300,000 heads. As a result, he made outstanding contributions and was promoted to the position of one of the Three Dukes.

The story of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru repeatedly asking Lü Bu to come out of seclusion to help was compiled into a book by later generations and widely circulated, becoming a good story.

[Ten years later, Dong Zhuo was stationed at the border, commanding half of the military power of the Celestial Empire, and had tremendous power.]

[The following year, the Taiping Uprising broke out, and most of the people responded, using up the foundation of the dynasty, and losing 30% of their luck. This was more dangerous than the "King of the Grassland". The generals of the Celestial Empire led their troops to suppress it, but were defeated.]

【The emperor sent Dong Zhuo to suppress the rebellion, but Dong Zhuo returned in vain and was eventually imprisoned.】

【The reason for this defeat was not Dong Zhuo's mismanagement. It was because the "Taiping Dao Master" used a secret technique to raise three thousand Yellow Turban strongmen. These strongmen were three feet tall, like a copper wall and iron wall, invulnerable to swords and spears, and difficult to invade by water and fire. They formed a "military formation", and each of them was as powerful as a second-rate general. Wherever they went, they were invincible. 】

[The emperor consulted the heavens and learned that the leader of the Taiping Dao did not personally go down and did not break the rules, so the heavens could not take action against him.]

[In desperation, the emperor had to issue an imperial decree, ordering local tyrants to recruit soldiers and form an alliance to curb the arrogance of the Tianping Army. He also asked a master to defeat the Yellow Turban Warriors, and only then was the situation barely stabilized.]

[This is exactly what Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism hope to see. After a series of calculations, they finally divided the great fortune of heaven and earth in His hands, and everyone in the world has the potential to become a true dragon.]

[The next month, the emperor died suddenly.]

[Dong Zhuo, the emperor's most trusted man, seized power and slaughtered the court with blood.]

……

Hulao Pass.

The camp of the Eighteen-Route Allied Forces.

Although the Taiping Army has been severely damaged by the joint efforts of the world's heroes, its popular base is still strong and it has repeatedly made a comeback. However, it is no longer a major threat now. We can't let Dong Zhuo take advantage of the opportunity.

Four inconspicuous figures quietly mixed into the tent. The leader had big ears and long arms, with a steady face. He was neither arrogant nor humble in front of the heroes present.

The three people following closely behind him, one of them had a face as red as a date, and the other had a leopard head and round eyes. Although the leather armor they wore looked simple and even a bit shabby compared to the gorgeous robes of the people present, they had a majestic aura.

It was the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. Behind them was a gentle and elegant scholar named Yang Jin. He sat to one side behind Liu Bei, and his deep eyes were carefully examining the various princes present.

Yang Jin traveled through time three months ago. When he heard about Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo, he realized that this was the Three Kingdoms period. Although he was not proficient in strategies, he was confident that he could rely on his "ability to judge people" and "strategic foresight" from his previous life.

It should be no problem to live under any prince.

They come, the security.

It's a good opportunity to see the demeanor of the world's heroes...

Then, Yang Jin found that something was wrong with the Three Kingdoms. A guard in the family picked up a 100-jin stone and threw it a hundred meters away. He thought it was a famous general who had found a treasure and was ready to show respect to him, but the guard said that he was only fit to be a centurion.

The biggest dream is to cultivate true qi and become a minor military commander, which would allow his salary to increase two or three times.

Yang Jin was shocked.

What level of military power is this Three Kingdoms?

He searched through the memories in his mind.

History is completely different from before.

As for where things started to go wrong, it should be the moment when the Confucian saint in history took off his robe and smashed the city gate with a shocking punch...

From then on, civil and military arts were developed on an equal footing among the human race.

A hundred years ago, the legends about qigong practitioners and immortal gods were confusing and difficult to distinguish true from false. At the end of the grassland, the big monster on the throne was extremely ferocious. More than ten years ago, the king of the grassland was unstoppable and marched straight to Luoyang, almost pulling the emperor off the altar.

The Taiping Army swept across the country.

They are all abnormally fierce.

Yang Jin speculated that if the strength of the famous generals in the Three Kingdoms period were placed in today's world, it would probably increase by more than a hundred times.

It was a chaotic time outside. As soon as he left home, he unfortunately encountered a group of ferocious Yellow Turban bandits on the way. The guards who accompanied him were killed on the spot instantly. If Guan Yu had not rescued him in time, he would probably have been killed and his head and body would have been separated.

Guan Yu fought with the Yellow Turban generals and used all his strength to split a mountain in half with one blow of his sword.

In order to repay the life-saving grace, Yang Jin helped Liu, Guan and Zhang sneak into the camp and get a position.

He commented on the various princes in his mind, and suddenly realized that it was better to follow Liu Bei, and that the world was not fixed and destiny could be changed.

In the next two weeks, the coalition forces fought a fierce battle with Dong Zhuo's army and approached Hulao Pass.

Until Dong Zhuo's general "Hua Xiong" went into battle and killed several generals in a row, including a "first-class general". The morale of the coalition forces was low, and the princes were helpless, so they planned to push forward with a million-strong army.

"Second brother, are you sure?" Yang Jin knew that the time was ripe, so he looked at Guan Yu beside him and asked.

Guan Yu half-closed his eyes, stroked his long beard and nodded. He had watched Hua Xiong fight more than ten times, and he was sure to win if he took action now.

Guan Yu asked for a fight, rushed out with a sword in hand, and captured Hua Xiong with three sword strikes before returning.

Everyone in the tent looked at Guan Yu with different expressions.

After the celebration banquet.

Liu Bei's tent.

"Next, it should be the world's number one warrior, Lu Bu, who will appear. Third brother, although my second brother is brave, I'm afraid he can't fight alone. You can stand by and support him. Together, you two should be able to fight Lu Bu."

Yang Jin's gaze moved between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and finally fell on the young general in a white robe at the door of the tent.

One Lu, two Zhao, three Dian Wei, four passes, five horses and six Zhang Fei.

This young general in white robe was none other than Zhao Yun, whom he had recruited with great effort and through various means!
To deal with Lu Bu, you only need to use the righteous siege and there will be no need to worry.

Yang Jin just finished speaking.

A burst of sneers came from inside the tent, with a hint of disdain in the voice.

"You guys are just a bunch of you, and you think you can be compared to Lu Bu?"

"Lü Bu is just relying on the power of the magic weapon in his hand and his slightly better riding and archery skills. If we meet in front of the battlefield, I will see how I, Zhang Yide, will pierce him through with one spear and take away his false title of the world's number one general!"

Zhang Fei looked towards Hua Xiong, full of heroic spirit and confidence.

Guan Yu stood proudly and said nothing.

It was not for any other reason, but because apart from repelling the grassland army with his "three arrows" more than ten years ago, although Lu Bu had the reputation of being the best general in the world, he had no glorious record of fighting against other generals.

This reputation was completely a bubble created by the 100,000 troops under Dong Zhuo.

Perhaps, Lu Bu had already died due to some secret technique that shortened his lifespan.

Hua Xiong glanced at Zhang Fei blankly, as if he was looking at a monster. He suddenly laughed out loud, and tears came out of his eyes.

"Hahaha."
