Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

"I'm going to kill you!" Lu Bu roared.

How dare they mess with him! If it weren't for the tentative collision, he would never have known that the person in front of him had such weak energy and strength; he only had speed.

Zhao Yun quickly stepped back, then turned around and used his spear to temporarily block Lu Bu's attack.

This made Lü Bu doubt his own judgment, because Zhao Yun's spear still had considerable power.

Lu Bu's invincible mindset has temporarily cracked, because he doubts his own judgment, then his own strength, and finally whether he is truly invincible.

Only by breaking Lu Bu's mindset of invincibility can one defeat him.

"A hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix!"

Legend has it that there is a secret technique that can concentrate the power of a hundred spears into a single spear and then release it. However, Zhao Yun actually practiced this move more skillfully than his master, and it was only about twenty times more powerful.

However, twenty times is already enough.

A phoenix appeared directly on the battlefield, flying past Lu Bu's armor.

Then, with a single blow, it destroyed Lu Bu's armor, including his internal energy armor. If it weren't for Red Hare's power, this attack would have killed Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was covered in blood, including from his head. He opened his bloodshot eyes and roared, "I am Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian!"

With ultimate power, ultimate mentality, and ultimate attack, Guan Yu, the awakened Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were all sent flying in a single blow.

Then Lü Bu turned his horse around and left. He had no choice but to leave, or he would really die here. With Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun working together, they could really kill him now that his invincibility had been shattered.

"Kill!" Liu Bei immediately spurred his horse forward. He remembered Chen Xi's words: when it's time to show off, you have to show off. Now was the time to show off.

The others also realized what was happening and rushed out together. Liu Bei was a member of the Han imperial family, how could they let him steal the spotlight!

Zhang Fei even shouted, "Kill Dong Zhuo first, and the world will be at peace after Dong Zhuo is killed!"

Then came the incident where Dong Zhuo fled and pushed Li Ru, leaving Li Ru feeling dejected.

The elite troops charged out, protected Lü Bu, and then slowly retreated.

Jiang Shu controlled his army, advancing slowly and steadily, rendering cavalry completely useless in siege warfare.

Suddenly, Zhang Liao rushed over, thrusting his spear mid-air, intending to cut Jiang Shu down from his horse. Jiang Shu was far too dangerous for them.

Jiang Shu immediately manipulated the clouds and the turbulent army, forcing Zhang Liao to retreat.

They have no choice but to leave; otherwise, Zhang Liao will be left here.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Li Siye, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Xiahou Yuan all attempted to attack Hulao Pass, but none of them could find a way to defeat the fortified pass. Guan Yu even took an arrow to the arm.

Afterwards, the allied forces won a great victory and cheered. Yuan Shao, as expected of a man who was arrogant when things were going well and extraordinary when things were going badly, could no longer maintain his role as a model for the world and began to indulge himself again.

Sun Jian remained expressionless. He was now even questioning whether his previous gratitude towards Yuan Shao was justified, and even whether he had been blinded by Zhu You.

Cao Cao was also sighing. He was contacting Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's mindset was not affected; he was simply communicating with Kong Rong and Tao Qian, his eyes gleaming as he observed the allied forces.

Jiang Shu silently took out the military law he had memorized, which was based on the work of Han Xin, and then contacted the eighteen feudal lords one by one before returning with grain.

Each feudal lord was very generous with this opportunity to enhance their own power and resources, and each of them provided at least ten thousand dan of grain.

Some feudal lords even wanted to buy out the rights, but Jiang Shu did not agree. If he did, how could he sell the annotations and make money by running the military academy?

When Jiang Shu returned, Liu Bei's army had an additional 250,000 dan of grain.

Hua Xiong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He had personally witnessed Jiang Shu memorizing the military treatise. Just because it was attributed to the Marquis of Huaiyin, did that mean it was actually written by the Marquis of Huaiyin?

Are the feudal lords so blind that they can't even see this? Or is this person in front of them just as capable as the Marquis of Huaiyin?

Later, Li Ru misjudged Dong Zhuo and became ambitious again, even releasing the imperial seal.

Jiang Shu, Chen Xi, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and others were discussing Lü Bu's matter.

"Lu Bu can be recruited, but there are many conditions!" Jiang said.

"What does Lord Xuande think?" Jiang Shu asked Liu Bei.

"Lu Bu is a hero. If we can recruit him, we should do so," Liu Bei gave a definite answer.

"Do we have any people from Bingzhou in our army?" Jiang Shu asked.

Soon a person came out of the army.

Jiang Shu explained their plan to recruit Lü Bu and asked if the man before him would be willing to help write a letter.

The young man from Bingzhou nodded hastily. Of course, he couldn't write, so he wrote it directly in the book that he had someone else write it for him.

Compared to the original work, this letter includes more of Chen Xi and Jiang Shu's thoughts, Liu Bei's ideas, including the idea of ​​recruiting Lü Bu and the fact that the people of Bingzhou were thinking about Lü Bu. It also includes Jiang Shu and others' analysis that Li Ru would definitely make Lü Bu destroy the imperial tombs. Of course, the perspective is different from the original work.

Of course, it makes no mention of the suffering of the people of Bingzhou. Jiang Shu wanted to recruit Lü Bu, not to depose him.

………………

"An old man told the general that a young man from Bingzhou asked him to deliver a letter to the general," the old man said.

Lu Bu accepted the letter expressionlessly, then said, "Send this old man out of Luoyang!"

Afterwards, Lü Bu looked at the letter and trembled more and more as he read it. Of course, he controlled himself and did not shake the letter into dust. The letter was also a memento for him.

"Zhao Wenyuan and Gongzheng, come to discuss matters," said Lü Bu.

The next day, Li Ru sent someone to inform Lü Bu that he should dig up the imperial tombs in Luoyang and collect their treasures, but Lü Bu refused, saying that he was still injured.

Upon hearing this news, Li Ru frowned slightly but did not press Lü Bu too much. Instead, he ordered Li Jue to excavate the imperial tomb, which Li Jue considered an excellent task.

"Li Wenyou, how dare you treat me like this!" Lü Bu locked himself in the inner room and roared angrily. He remembered what the letter said: once he excavated the imperial tomb, he would be completely marked as a traitor and could never be cleared of his name. The entire Han Dynasty would never truly accept him!

However, Lü Bu revealed a cold smile and said, "Liu Bei actually wants to recruit me."

"Chen Xi, Chen Zichuan; Jiang Shu, Jiang Mingzhi! Wen Yuan, Gong Zheng, what are your thoughts on these two?"

"A master strategist and a great commander!" Zhang Liao and Gao Shun exchanged a glance and said in unison.

"With the three rivers and five schools incomplete, they faced off against the Trapped Camp without the slightest flaw, leaving even the Trapped Camp helpless!" Gao Shun said.

"With the depleted Three Rivers and Five Schools, we can trap the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and if I don't break out, I have the power to annihilate them," Zhang Liao said.
