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

"How does he compare to Huangfu Song?" Lü Bu asked.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun fell silent. They opened their mouths as if to speak, but didn't know what to say.

That's Huangfu Song, the strongest military strategist of their previous era.

"So, how far do you think Chen Xi's foresight is?" Lu Bu realized he had spoken out of turn. That was Huangfu Song, after all; how could an ordinary person compare to him?

"There aren't any examples yet, but the fact that Li Ru was able to send Liu Bei into the ranks of the feudal lords shows that his schemes are quite terrifying," Gao Shun said.

"Fengxian, let's go back to Bingzhou," Zhang Liao said.

Bingzhou... Lu Bu fell silent. How could he not want to go back?

But they can't go back. They left Bingzhou, which led to Bingzhou being plundered by the Hu and Nan people. Now there are many Hu people in Bingzhou.

While they are enjoying themselves in Luoyang, why is he going back to Bingzhou?

Since ancient times, no overlord has ever crossed the river, and Lü Bu now deeply understands that feeling.

"Fengxian, what exactly does Dong Zhuo want to do?"

"He intends to burn Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an!" Lü Bu said coldly.

"What?!!"

………………

Hulao Pass has been captured. Although it was obvious to everyone that Dong Zhuo had abandoned Hulao Pass, the allied forces considered it their achievement, and Yuan Shao considered it his accomplishment.

With his great achievements about to be completed and his future ambitions within reach, Yuan Shao made a bold move, sending his troops to Luoyang to complete this great undertaking of supporting the emperor.

However, both Cao Cao and Liu Bei knew that there would be danger in entering Luoyang, so they stayed at the very back of the allied forces.

Luoyang was ablaze, terrifying flames engulfed the surroundings, and cries of agony filled the air.

Sun Jian and his men quickly extinguished the flames and found a place to rest temporarily.

"Put out the fire!" Yuan Shao roared. He hadn't expected Dong Zhuo to be so crazy. This was the capital of the Han Dynasty!

Thanks to the efforts of over 100,000 soldiers, part of the fire was finally brought under control, but most of Luoyang was still burned.

"Zichuan is useless!" Jiang Shu sighed as he looked at Chen Xi, who was trying to descend from the clouds.

"We don't have the ability to save Luoyang right now."

"The White Horse Cavalry, follow me!" Jiang Shudao said.

Jiang Shu rode his white horse retinue eastward toward the East Gate.

The terrifying wind force instantly dispersed the raging fire, and then the soldiers dismantled the roof of the East Pavilion piece by piece and took it back.

The Marquis of Huaiyin's military strategy is right there.

Liu Bei was shouting himself hoarse, while on the other side, Sun Jian found the Imperial Seal of the State.

Sun Jian's hesitation regarding the soldiers eventually led to the exposure of the whole affair. However, whether those soldiers died or not didn't really matter. After all, Li Ru's plans couldn't be changed by such a small matter.

Then Chen Xi and the others frantically moved the books from Cai Yong's house. Chen Xi originally thought that it would be enough to save half of them, but he forgot about the strong physical fitness of the people in this world.

Simply slap the air cannon with your hand, and after a few slaps, the fire in Cai Yong's house was completely extinguished.

Then came the harvest time. Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the others were all grinning from ear to ear. This was a collection of books, four thousand volumes! You know, some books alone could make someone a scholarly family.

Now they actually have the opportunity to take four thousand scrolls at will.

"Oh, right." Chen Xi suddenly thought of a problem, "Do you have any books on military formations or something? Let Mingzhi read them first. Once he understands them, it will be easy for him to explain them to us. He went to get the Marquis of Huaiyin's Art of War."

"The Art of War by the Marquis of Huaiyin?" Guan Yu and the others exclaimed in shock.

"That's right, the Art of War by the Marquis of Huaiyin, but there are probably only a handful of people in the world who can understand it these days."

"With the Marquis of Huaiyin's military strategy, Mingzhi will be able to make up for some of his lack of basic knowledge. Even if he faces Huangfu Song, he will not be able to lose."

Chen Xi actually wanted to mention Sun Wu, Han Bai, and Bai Qi, but that was too far-fetched and he was afraid Zhao Yun and the others wouldn't believe it. After all, Jiang Shu didn't have any achievements to speak of, while the achievements of Sun Wu, Han Bai, and Bai Qi had been passed down since ancient times.

When Chen Xi returned with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong was sitting stiffly cross-legged in the middle of the tent. He only stood up when he saw Chen Xi return.

"Zichuan, has the Prime Minister left?" Hua Xiong asked bitterly.

"Let's go, we're planning to pursue him. Are you coming? We'll run into Lü Bu."

Hua Xiong sighed, "I don't want to go. According to our previous agreement, I will turn back to Lord Xuande without any suspicion. It's just that I don't want to face the Prime Minister!"

Then Chen Xi explained that he was needed to help capture the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but he wasn't needed for anything else, nor was he needed to face Dong Zhuo or anything like that.

Then Liu Bei misunderstood, and then used Hua Xiong to protect Chen Xi. Chen Xi saw through it, but also felt that Liu Bei was really treating him well.

Afterwards, Chen Xi said to Liu Bei, "What are the best soldiers in the world today? Would you be interested, Xuande? They are the foundation of our hegemony."

"The best soldiers in the world today? Could it be the Xiliang Iron Cavalry?" A glint of light flashed in Liu Bei's eyes.

Chen Xi then explained the letter he wrote to Jiang Shu.

………………

On the other side, Lu Bu stood imposingly, his terrifying aura emanating from him; facing Lu Bu was like facing Mount Tai.

"Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, mount your horses and charge!" On the dark earth, Lü Bu pointed his halberd and unleashed a legion attack.

Cao Cao's army was thrown into chaos instantly, and Lü Bu led two of the most powerful cavalry forces of the late Han Dynasty in a swift charge.

Cao Cao's army did have some cavalry, but only a small number. Facing Lü Bu's Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, they couldn't even put up a counterattack, let alone resist.

As for using infantry to fight against cavalry, it has always been very difficult. One must consider both sides, as well as the number and elite status of the soldiers.

Clearly, Cao Cao is currently incapable of defeating Lü Bu.

Cao Cao risked his life to prevent the camp from collapsing, and then led his soldiers out.

"Brother, run!" Xiahou Yuan, Yue Jin, and Xiahou Dun rode back to fight.

Boom! Xiahou Dun broke through the bridge between heaven and earth, his internal energy leaving his body.

Having the courage to turn back and fight back against Lü Bu is remarkable in itself.

They retreated and blocked, holding out for several minutes, until Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Yue Jin were all cut down to the ground.

Only now do they realize how remarkable Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun were, able to confront the monstrous Lu Bu head-on. They even suspect that Lu Bu might have internal energy detached from his body.

What they don't know is that the difference between internal energy leaving the body and internal energy leaving the body is greater than the difference between a human and a dog!

At least a dog can still harm a person, while ordinary internal energy leaving the body cannot harm Lü Bu at all.

Cao Hong led a hundred or so remaining soldiers to protect Cao Cao as he fled towards Xingyang. With nowhere else to go, they could only go wherever they could!
