The Three Kingdoms: General Yu She, reincarnated a hundred times.

……

In this life, the Xiliang army roamed the city without distinction between rich and poor, noble and lowly. From the mansions of officials to the homes of commoners, they treated everyone equally. They robbed any gold, silver, or grain they saw, and burned anything they couldn't take with them.

There was no time to relocate the people; the young and strong were used to push carts and serve as auxiliary soldiers, while the old, weak, women, and children were left to burn together in Luoyang.

The raging fire dyed the long night red, and the cries of the people filled the world.

Burn! Burn it even brighter! Burn away all this filth in the city, turn Luoyang into a wasteland!

Kill, kill even more, let the blood stain the city walls, and turn these millions of lowly people into withered bones!

The laws of the Han Dynasty have been trampled by the Prime Minister. In this chaotic world, the rules must be written with human lives!

……

When Yu She urged the allied forces of Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Wei Zi, Bao Xin, and others to rush into Luoyang ahead of Yuan Shao and his men, they were met with this hellish scene!

Flames soared into the sky, black smoke blanketed the ground, and for two or three hundred miles there was no sign of human habitation; all that could be seen were scorched earth and corpses.

Everyone rushed to send troops to put out the fire. The people were either killed or burned. The scene of utter devastation far surpassed everything Yu She had experienced in his previous life.

It turns out that the rape, plunder, and abduction were already Dong Zhuo's "mercy" given that he had plenty of time. The burning and killing of the entire population showed that this villain's brutality had no bottom line whatsoever!

While putting out the fire, Cao Cao said to everyone, "The traitor Dong Zhuo burned down the palaces, kidnapped the emperor, and caused great turmoil throughout the land, leaving everyone wondering where to go!"

Now that Dong Zhuo has fled west, this is the time of Heaven's demise. You gentlemen should join Cao Cao in seizing the opportunity to pursue him. In one battle, the world will be at peace, the people will have hope, and the Han Dynasty can be restored.

Wei Zi and Bao Xin immediately echoed, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei readily agreed, Tao Qian and Gongsun Zan showed hesitation, and Yuan Shu looked at Yu She.

Yu She suddenly recalled that in his previous life, he had been pursued and killed by Cao Cao in the same way, which showed that Cao Cao's pursuit had achieved some results.

However, before his death in that life, he also heard the cry of "my friend Li Jue," which clearly indicated that the Xiliang army was coming to his rescue. Considering Li Ru's possible intentions to harm him, Lü Bu suddenly changed his mind.

Perhaps in that lifetime, Cao Cao's pursuit and his own death were all part of Li Ru's calculations. If so, then Cao Cao's journey would likely be ambushed, and his fate would hang in the balance.

Thinking of this, Yu She then advised Cao Cao:

"Lord Mengde, please do not act rashly."

Although Dong Zhuo has fled, his strength remains intact; he still commands hundreds of thousands of troops. A hasty pursuit could lead to an ambush.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao frowned. "What do you mean by this, Zichuan? The emperor is in danger, and the state is on the verge of collapse. How can we avoid it because of personal fortune or misfortune?"

We are Han officials, receiving the Han's bounty for generations. If we do not think of serving our country, how are we different from beasts?

Yu She realized he had misunderstood, and quickly smiled and explained.

"Lord Mengde, my intention is not not to pursue, but to turn the tables on him."

Right now, I ask Lord Mengde to lead his troops ahead to pursue Dong Zhuo. If they succeed, that would be the best outcome.

If we are ambushed, our main force will be behind us, allowing us to provide timely assistance and also seize the opportunity to kill the enemy.

Cao Cao, knowing the logic in his words, nodded and said:

"I recently heard from Gong Lu that Zichuan has the talent of a wind instrument and the strategic acumen of Lü and Zhang. Now that I have seen him, I can confirm that the rumors are true."

After he finished speaking, he led his own troops, together with the troops of Wei Zi and Bao Xin, totaling about 20,000 to 30,000 men, and led generals such as Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Yue Jin, and Li Dian to pursue Dong Zhuo.

Yu She accompanied Yuan Shu, and together with the troops of Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Kong Rong, Liu Bei, and others, they gathered a total of fifty to sixty thousand men, and followed Cao Cao to pursue Dong Zhuo.

Sun Jian was the only one who was resented by Yuan Shu because of his outstanding achievements in the Battle of Sishui. Yuan Shu then used the excuse that Wen Tai's troops had been fighting continuously and had not had a moment's rest to leave him in Luoyang to put out fires.

……

On that day, the clouds dispersed, the rain stopped, and the sky cleared, revealing a bright and colorful scene.

The chariots rumbled and the horses neighed. Lü Bu led three thousand elite troops to cover the rear. Just then, Cao Cao suddenly led his army to catch up, with a force of twenty to thirty thousand men.

Lu Bu's rearguard consisted of only three thousand men; how could they not be terrified upon seeing this?

Cao Cao spurred his horse forward and angrily rebuked Lü Bu, "Traitor! You've kidnapped the Emperor and displaced the people; where do you intend to go?"

Lu Bu, fearless and unwavering, rode Red Hare to meet Cao Cao's army head-on, saying, "Why should a dying man speak more?"

After saying this, he brandished his halberd and charged at Cao Cao. Xiahou Dun drew his sword, leaped onto his horse, and took the lead in meeting the enemy. After only a few exchanges, he was no match for him.

"Stop harming my brother, Yuanlai will fight you!"

Xiahou Yuan rushed to help with his spear, and the two fought together against Lü Bu, but they were still no match for him. Just as they were struggling to hold on, Cao Ren and Cao Hong hurriedly urged their horses to join the battle.

"Yuanrang, Miaocai, don't panic, Cao Ren/Cao Hong are here."

So the four surrounded Lü Bu and fought fiercely. Spears and swords flashed and danced, dazzling the men, but they were all easily defeated by Lü Bu's halberd.

Lu Bu wielded his halberd with sweeping, powerful strokes, cutting off four men with a single move. The heavy iron halberd allowed him to suppress the pursuit of four men single-handedly.

In the heat of the battle, despite being surrounded by the crowd, he was laughing loudly.

"Not enough! Still not enough! You are far inferior to those dark-skinned and red-faced fellows."

Don't run! Don't be as slippery as that little thief.

"Lu Bu of Jiuyuan is here! You all, come forward and fight!"

Riding his Red Hare, Lü Bu charged through the battle, leaving four of Cao Cao's generals in dire straits!

How exhilarating! This is the battlefield that Lu Bu is familiar with, a place for unbridled and exhilarating battles.

Last time at Hulao Pass, he really disgusted me. One was a dark-skinned fellow, the other a red-faced one, both as hard and smelly as rocks in a latrine. They dragged each other through more than a hundred rounds of fighting, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

The only one who was easy to bully turned out to be a slippery little thief. Like an eel, he pretended to twirl his spear from a distance, but no one dared to get close to him.

Unlike now.

Even if surrounded by a crowd, what does Lü Bu have to fear? This halberd of his might is immense; how many blows can you withstand?

……

Seeing that Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong were all in dire straits even when they joined forces, Cao Cao was greatly alarmed. He then realized how impressive the three heroes had been when they fought Lü Bu at Hulao Pass.

Just then, shouts of battle arose again. Fan Chou led an army to attack from the left. Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Yue Jin to meet the enemy.

Shouts arose again from the right, and Zhang Ji led his troops to attack once more. Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Li Dian to meet the enemy.

The Xiliang army's ambush troops were all deployed, forming a three-pronged encirclement that was unstoppable.

Xiahou Dun and his men were also unable to withstand Lü Bu and were killed and scattered. Lü Bu took advantage of the victory and pursued them, leading his cavalry to attack. Those who stood in his way were routed and he headed straight for Cao Cao.

He was radiant and arrogant, looking down at Cao Cao, and laughed loudly, saying:

"Cao Mengde, this is a plan of yours to excel in literature."

"Your death is imminent, yet you remain unaware. I will personally escort you on your journey."

Unexpectedly, seeing Lü Bu charging towards him and his army about to collapse, Cao Cao remained calm and even laughed out loud.

"Lu Bu, you've fallen for Zichuan's scheme!"

So that you may know that Zichuan has the strategies of Lü Wang and Zhang Liang. How can your Li Wenyou compare to him?

He saw through your petty tricks long ago; it's just a pity you're facing death without even realizing it!

"What?!"

Lu Bu was shocked!

"Wen You's scheme was actually exposed?"
