Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 119 The Xiliang Army Retreats 1
On the second day, Dong Zhuo left 5 troops to guard Hulao Pass, and gathered the remaining 15 troops to the predetermined location to set up a battle, and he was about to fight Yuan Shao to the death.

On the coalition side, Yuan Shao was also unambiguous.After Yuan Shao and Cao Cao joined forces that could be united on their side, excluding Sun Jian who was far away at Sishui Pass, and the Youzhou Army, Huainan Army, Xuzhou Army and Beihai Army who were not on the same side as him, Yuan Shao joined forces from several other routes. The feudal lords borrowed a total of 20 troops, and these troops were all elites that Yuan Shao and others could produce.

20 people, which can be said to be overwhelming, and Yuan Shao's ability to win over so many people by his own means is also a testament to his ability. Of course, Cao Cao's help must be indispensable in this.

The coalition army has a total of more than 45 soldiers, but Cao Cao felt that there was no need to devote so many troops to this war.Moreover, based on Cao Cao's current ability, he can't command more troops. 20 people are actually more than Cao Cao's ability.

Sometimes it is not a good thing to have more troops. If you can't command so many troops, I am afraid that the more people you have, the more disadvantageous you will be. This is just like the battle between Chu and Han, when Liu Bangkong had 65 troops in the battle of Pengcheng , and was finally defeated by Xiang Yu's [-] elite because of improper command.

Therefore, it is important to have self-knowledge, especially at this critical moment in life, you must not be confused.

The Youzhou Army, the Huainan Army, the Xuzhou Army, and the Beihai Navy also joined the battlefield. However, the 5 men in these four armies were not included in Yuan Shao's 20 men.They were arranged by Yuan Shao to lead the army in the rear. To put it bluntly, Yuan Shao was afraid that these people would make trouble or rob him of his achievements.

Speaking of it, this is Yuan Shao's fault, since they are all allowed to participate in the war, why don't they work together to fight Dong Zhuo together.It was as if they were afraid that others would take their credit. Facing such a small-minded leader, Gongsun Xu and the others could only sigh.

Originally, Yuan Shao also thought about arranging these people in the former army and working hard for himself first.Yuan Shao's method of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight is indeed very good, but it also depends on the target.Cao Cao pointedly pointed out that it is impossible for Gongsun Xu to be at the mercy of Yuan Shao. If the control is not good at that time, Gongsun Xu is very likely to withdraw his troops on the spot, and finally turn back.

It was because of Cao Cao's explanation that Yuan Shao gave up that idea, and instead arranged the Youzhou Army people far away.In this way, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can deal with Dong Zhuo with peace of mind.

The two armies laid down their positions.On the Xiliang Army's side, Lu Bu led 5000 cavalry as the front army, Guo Bang on the left and right, Li Jue led [-] troops, and the central army consisted of [-] elite cavalry led by Dong Zhuo.In addition, Lu Bu arranged for Zhang Liao and Cao Xing to lead [-] old Bingzhou subordinates as the rear army, ready to support at any time.

It is not unreasonable for Lu Bu to specially arrange his most trusted subordinates as the rear army. This battle is related to his own destiny, and Dong Zhuo let himself take the lead. Lu Bu can't tell whether it is trust or use, or both. Have it.

In order not to let himself become an abandoned son, and to be able to perform outstandingly in this battle, Lu Bu can only put Zhang Liao and the others at the back. As long as Zhang Liao and his old subordinates are fine, no matter how badly Lu Bu suffers in the front, he will have something to say. s right.

On Yuan Shao's side, Cao Cao, like Dong Zhuo, divided his army into four divisions: the front, the middle, the left, and the left. However, what is surprising is that Cao Cao did not arrange any troops as the rear.There is no other reason, the position of the rear army is occupied by the Youzhou army, even if Cao Cao wants to arrange people, he is worried that he will not be able to command at that time.

It seems that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are already planning to fight to the end, and even the rear has been handed over to Gongsun Xu, an ally who is at odds with each other. It is unclear whether Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have other plans or whether it is these two people. This key is ignored.

The two sides are at war with each other, and there is a possibility of a war at any time.

In order to boost morale, Lv Bu fought alone after getting Dong Zhuo's permission, declaring that he would challenge all generals of the coalition army.

This time, Yuan Shao did not give the Youzhou Army a chance.This is what he and Cao Cao had discussed long ago.The one-on-one battle before the battle is also an opportunity for a general to become famous. Yuan Shao will never give up such a good thing to his enemy again.

Once the fierce generals of the Youzhou Army play here, the situation on the entire battlefield will probably be guided by Gongsun Xu. At that time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's chess game that has been planned for so long will probably be a dowry for Gongsun Xu. Yuan Shao will not do stupid things again.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao looked at each other and nodded in understanding.Then, Cao Cao turned his head and said to a general behind him, "Zhongkang, your chance to become famous has come."

After the man heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said: "Master Xie specially transferred me this time for Lu Bu. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Today, let me fight the battle. If things don’t work out, just let Miaocai and the others go.”

Cao Cao nodded and said calmly, "Go ahead, I will take care of everything myself. Don't worry, you can fight Lu Bu one-on-one."

After Xu Chu nodded, he rode his horse and ran out of the formation. Lu Bu was slightly disappointed when he saw that it was not any general in the Youzhou Army who was rushing towards him.However, when the fat general on the opposite side was only fifty steps away from Lu Bu, Lu Bu's eyes finally became serious.

Lu Bu already felt that the opponent was definitely a first-class master in the world.He himself did not expect that there would be such a master in the coalition army. It seems that some people in the coalition army deliberately hide their talents.

When Xu Chu was forty steps away from Lu Bu, he shouted, "My servant, Xu Chu, come here to teach you how the three surnames are slaves."

Xu Chu's words obviously meant to be aggressive, and as expected, Lu Bu was already very angry.The surnames of the three families are slaves. This is definitely a pain in Lu Bu's heart. Although everyone in the world knows about Lu Bu's betrayal of the master, under normal circumstances, no one would say it in front of Lu Bu.Even those in the Xiliang army who are not used to Lu Bu would not do this.

Lu Bu let out a roar, and Chituma rushed forward immediately after understanding.This time, Lu Bu came prepared, he did not plan to be a simple fighter.

The two sides fought quickly, and the coalition forces fought back. When Gongsun Xu saw a general rushing out of Cao Cao's side, he was puzzled. He thought it was a general from Cao Cao's family, but when Xu Chu reported his name , Gongsun Xu was relieved.It turned out to be the tiger idiot Xu Chu.

In fact, Xu Chu knew Cao Cao as early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion.Xu Chu was also well-known at that time, especially when exchanging grain with the Yellow Turban Army's cattle, Xu Chu dragged the fleeing cattle back more than 100 steps back with the ox's tail in his hand.It was this incident that made Xujiazhuang Xu Chu's name famous.

Because of this, Xu Chu kept Xujiazhuang. The yellow scarf thieves were afraid of Xu Chu's prestige, so they didn't dare to make trouble near Xujiazhuang.

Later, Cao Cao was also famous and invited Xu Chu to fight against the Yellow Turbans.Xu Chu went there happily, and the two sides cooperated sincerely. Cao Cao commanded the army, and Xu Chu charged into the battle. The two made a lot of military exploits together.

Later, Xu Chu was also impressed by Cao Cao's personality charm, and he recognized Cao Cao as the master. However, Cao Cao asked Xu Chu to go back to recruit soldiers and train soldiers in order to hide his strength.If it weren't for the fact that the Youzhou Army was too popular this time, Cao Cao didn't plan to transfer Xu Chu.

The generals of the two armies thought that Xu Chu was just a smug guy. After all, there were too many generals like this before, and the last few times the fighting generals had been dominated by the Youzhou Army.The other princes failed to send decent generals.If there are generals who can resist Lu Bu, why not send them out sooner?
However, unexpectedly, Xu Chu not only resisted Lu Bu's attack, but also occasionally counterattacked with two moves.

After ten rounds, the two left on the wrong horse. Lu Bu turned his horse's head, looked at Xu Chu and said, "Fatty, you have some skills, but your master still hasn't taught you well."

Xu Chu didn't answer, but continued to ride his horse towards Lu Bu.From the ten rounds of fighting, Xu Chu already knew that Lu Bu was not something he could defeat.Lu Bu could easily get through the ten rounds just now, but Xu Chu could not.

Xu Chu knew that the reason he was able to draw with Lu Bu for the time being was only because Lu Bu couldn't figure out his way.But in the ten rounds of fighting, Lu Bu has gradually figured out his own routine.Now, Lu Bu is going to get serious.

The two fought again. This time, Lu Bu became more vicious and his moves were sharper.Xu Chu could barely hold on, but after another [-] rounds of fighting, Xu Chu had clearly fallen into a disadvantage.Lu Bu fought more and more smoothly, but Xu Chu struggled more and more.Lu Bu's strength has exceeded Xu Chu's imagination.

After another ten rounds, it was obvious that Xu Chu had only the power to resist and had no chance to fight back. However, Lu Bu could not defeat Xu Chu for the time being, and the two still persisted.

On the side of the coalition forces, everyone was amazed at Lu Bu's strength in martial arts. People who know the goods have already seen that Lu Bu has become stronger than before.Everyone on Gongsun Xu's side also lamented, unexpectedly, in less than a month, Lu Bu has improved again. This Lu Bu is really a genius in martial arts.

Seeing that Xu Chu had fallen into a disadvantage, Cao Cao turned to the two generals around him and said, "Lu Bu, you are really a tiger. You are not an enemy alone. Yuan Rang and Miao Cai, you two also go. Remember, you must protect yourself Whether you can defeat Lu Bu is not the key."

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan lead the battle. These two are also the first-class masters in the world, and Xiahouyuan is even better at shooting arrows.When Xia Houyuan was sixty steps away from Lu Bu, he bent his bow and set his arrows and shot three arrows at Lu Bu at the right time.

These three arrows did not cause any harm to Lu Bu, but they rescued Xu Chu who was in trouble.

Seeing that the three people surrounding him exuded the aura of a first-class military general, Lu Bu became more and more excited.Lu Bu looked in the direction of the Youzhou Army, then shook his head and smiled, "Hahahahaha, interesting, interesting, hahahaha,,,,,,"

Xu Chu and the three of them didn't talk nonsense here, and before Lu Bu could continue talking, the three of them besieged Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was not afraid, he waved Fang Tian's painted halberd to fight with the three of them.
