Chapter 183: Lv Bu's Prestige
The morning mist is like silk, floating in the air. All things are bleak, with a strong and solemn death.
This kind of scene is not very strange to Lu Bu. On the contrary, when he was young, he had seen such scenery more than once in the grassland and outside the border. He thought he was tired of the endless grassland, but in fact, that attachment was already buried deep in his heart.
Lu Bu sighed, although his hometown is beautiful, it is not as prosperous as the Central Plains. He is just an unwatched wanderer in his hometown Jiuyuan, but in the Central Plains, he is a noble official who is admired.
Now I am in my battle. Whether for myself or for my wife, daughter and son, I have to fight for great fame in the Central Plains. Lu Bu breathed the solemn breath of the air, and his whole body suddenly became energetic. He led the three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry under his command and rushed to welcome him with great momentum.
General Wang Kuang was in a formation. When he saw the horses under the Mamen, he saw Lu Bu appearing out: wearing a three-pointed purple gold crown on his head, and the feather of a young chicken swayed in the wind. He wore a big red brocade robe and a kirin face and a chain armor for swallowing his head. He tied his waist with a delicate lion belt. A big red cloak shaking in the wind, and the golden silk kirin pattern embroidered on the cloak could be vaguely seen. The man was like a tiger, the horse was like a dragon, and the horse was hovering on the battlefield, just like a ball of flames rolling. It was indeed "Lu Bu among people, and the red rabbit among horses"!
Although he was an enemy, Wang Kuang couldn't help but feel secretly worried about it. Such a great person could not follow the thief. But today is not the time to sigh at the enemy, so he turned around and asked, "Who dares to fight?"
"I'll come." A general behind him rode his horse and speared out. Wang Kuang looked at him, and he was the famous general Fang Yue of Hanoi. The Hanoi army was attacked by the Xiliang army in the previous period because Fang Yue followed him to the Sour Zao Alliance and was not in the army. Later, he was helped by Fang Yue, and the more than 10,000 troops summoned by Wang Kuang on Mount Tai, had just been re-established.
But Fang Yue ran away fiercely and took Lu Bu. Lu Bu had not yet fought with the Kanto Alliance, so he did not know the details. First, he carefully fought with Fang Yue several times. After the three-in-one, he immediately found out all the details of Fang Yue, and he was far inferior to him. As a vanguard army, he was still the hero, so who else could the Kanto Alliance? It seems that Hua Xiong's mistake was too careless.
Lu Bu, who had a clear mind, found a flaw in Fang Yue when the two horses intersected again, and stabbed him under the horse with a spear. Wang Kuangjun was shocked when he saw it. Lu Bu saw that Wang Kuangjun had loosened his wing and seemed to have unstable feelings, and immediately realized it. He waved his halberd and shouted loudly: "Kill!" He rushed straight towards him first.
Wang Kuang's army was originally a newly-educated army, and he was not skilled in the formation. Seeing the cavalry rushing towards him, he could not resist it. With Lu Bu's vanguard, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Wei Yue, Cheng Lian and other brave generals followed closely, leading three thousand iron cavalry to attack from where Lu Bu passed, breaking the formation almost instantly.
Thousands of troops and horses came rushing, causing Wang Kuang to scatter. "Stop, block them..."
As Wang Kuang's roar, a ball of flames had already entered the formation. Lu Bu rushed left and right, really like fiery fire, sweeping away and devouring the lives of the Hanoi army wherever he went. The painting halberd in the square sky was like a giant dragon wandering. The red rabbit horse even roared and shattered the iron hooves on the ground. Although the number of soldiers in Hanoi was large, they were frightened by Lu Bu and ran away with their heads in their arms.
The four generals Wei Xu, Song Xian, Wei Yue and Cheng Lian each led a group of troops, scattered and gathered, clashing back and forth, causing bloody storms. The formation of the Hanoi army was soon torn and divided into countless pieces. Wang Kuang's entire army was immediately defeated and ran around. Lu Bu rushed east and west among the chaotic army, as if he had entered a no-man. Seeing Wang Kuang's flag, he even beat Wang Kuang to take Wang Kuang's head.
However, Wang Kuang's general Han Hao was alert and cut off the flag in advance and led Wang Kuang into the chaos army to escape. Fortunately, Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi both arrived to rescue Wang Kuang. Lu Bu saw that there were quite a lot of enemy troops and it was difficult to break for a while, so he led his troops back.
The three princes each lost some people. However, Wang Kuang's army suffered the most losses. Not only did they lose the famous general Fang Yue, but most of the army also left, leaving only 4,000 defeated generals. Fortunately, Han Hao helped to gather them together, but Wang Kuang no longer had the energy he had at the beginning. He was afraid of the Western Liang army like a tiger and dared not speak out again.
The three princes retreated thirty miles to get out of the camp and sent messengers to inform them that the six troops under Xingyang City knew about it. After receiving the letter, He Bai couldn't help but smiled bitterly and sent more than 10,000 heads. These ancient powerful people really didn't take human lives seriously.
It is normal for the coalition forces to give away heads indiscriminately and not cherish the lives of the soldiers. Just for the sake of the world's righteousness in his heart, he would do things recklessly and regard the fighting between the two armies as a joke. In just one year, the coalition forces only lost more than 110,000 troops, plus two or 30,000 soldiers in the Western Liang army were killed, and 150,000 soldiers were sent across the country. How great would it be to use these soldiers to conquer foreign tribes, but they were so simple that they were trapped in the country.
If there are more people who died due to the war, there will be more people. With the four counties of Hanoi, Henan, Yingchuan and Chenliu, as the hardest hit areas, they will die directly from the war. There will be no less than one million people who move the capital to scorched earth resistance. Hedong, Nanyang and Runan are the first, and there will be no less than tens of thousands of deaths.
Including those who died indirectly due to the war, those who died in harsh taxes and tyrannical thieves in various places were afraid that they had a population of 2 million. This is almost the population base of the three Bingzhous. At this time, the most powerful alien Xianbei people in the north were afraid that they were just this number of people. I didn’t expect that they were defeated by the Han people in just one year.
Then there were many heroes who were separating the enemy, warlords fought melee, and the harsh government became more and more severe, and there were endless murders and massacres. Starvation and death can be seen everywhere, and bones can be seen everywhere in the wilderness. If calculated based on the abnormal mortality rate of two million people a year, no wonder the 50 million people of the Han Dynasty suddenly shrank to nowhere in just over ten years.
The numbers that caught his eye made He Bai feel heavier. At this time, he had long lost his joy when he first came to this world, and he had only endless sadness. Fortunately, he traveled through time at the end of the Han Dynasty. If he had reached the junction of the Jin Dynasty, he would be afraid that his grief and anger would shake the sun and the moon.
On the second day, He Bailiu was sentenced, and the two generals Chunyu Qiong trapped Xingyang, and asked Tao Qian's 10,000 Xuzhou soldiers to help him, leading three thousand cavalry and other five troops to support Wang Kuang. When they met Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi, they all said that Lu Bu was heroic and unparalleled. It seemed that the courage of these three people was scared by Lu Bu, and they were trembling when they mentioned it.
There was an old general of Ding Yuan, Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang, and said: "I and Lu Bu were once under the command of Governor Ding. I knew that he was brave and invincible. I only regret that Governor Ding would not use Lü Bu more. Instead, he was taken away by Dong Thief, which became a disaster for our Kanto Alliance Army. At dawn, you have also known Lu Bu, but I don't know that Dian Jun under your command might compete with Lü Bu?"
He Bai thought to himself that there was a saying in later generations of Dianwei, but martial arts reached their level and was beyond their expectations. As long as they were not good at performing well, they were not in a state, and they were defeated by others. If they only competed for hard power, Dianwei would probably be worse than that.
However, Dian Wei in this life had He Bai's explanation of Tai Chi method and had a great understanding of martial arts skills. When speed and strength were almost the same, the understanding of skills became an opportunity to win. Dian Wei's martial arts at this time can be hard or soft, and the transition between hard and soft is extremely fast. The whole person also changed from the initial majestic and majestic momentum to the silence as a abyss, towering like a mountain. I think even if he was not as good as Lu Bu, there would be no difference.
So He Bai said, "I think it's not much. But my loyal brother has never had a head-on confrontation with Lu Bu, and it's hard to determine the quality for a while."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Okay, I have the original guard general of Governor Ding, Mu Shun, who is determined to avenge Governor Ding, but he can be a dead soldier to test Lu Bu's martial arts for Ding. As long as Ding and Lu Bu are not much different from Lü Bu, they can hold Lu Bu up, and other generals will be easily defeated. As long as Lu Bu is defeated, even if Lu Bu is resurrected, it will be difficult to stop our army's encirclement."
Lu Bu's only friend Zhang Yang, when the two armies were facing the enemy, could give up their personal relationship and act ruthlessly. During the discussion, a small school came to report the news: "Lu Bu led his troops to fight."
The nine princes then boarded the horses together, and the army was divided into eight teams, laying on the high hills on both sides to prevent Lu Bu's cavalry from rushing to the formation. He Bai personally led 3,000 infantry and cavalry to lay alone on the road to fight against Lu Bu. From afar, he saw Lu Bu's army embroidered flags waving, and three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry were like dragons and tigers, unruly, and he didn't care about the Yu army on Gaogang, and first attacked the North Navy formation.
Lu Bu took the lead, and three thousand wolf cavalry gathered behind him. As long as Lu Bu tore apart a corner of the Northern Navy, the three thousand wolf cavalry immediately rushed up. This kind of individual attack tactic of brave generals was effective at this time. After He Bai brought out the crossbow, even the fierce general would be knocked down with a crossbow.
He Bai and Lu Bu have nothing to say when they meet. In fact, the two are more of a drink friend. If He Bai had no intention of dating, Lu Bu's arrogant temperament and shallow thoughts would not have been in harmony with He Bai.
He Bai has a good temper, but as a time traveler, it is difficult to have a happy conversation with everyone in this world. He is very calculating about people's actions and is difficult to see sincerity. Including people close to Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong and others, if they are not talented and virtuous, they have little value to win over by He Bai. Can He Bai still be so close and valued to them now?
No, no. Therefore, He Bai, who was alone in the world, gradually felt sympathy for Lu Bu, who was gradually hated by the world. After Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu would become a lonely wolf like a lonely man, and no one in the world would treat him. But Lu Bu still has his best friend Zhang Yang in history, so what about himself?
Mu Shun, the general of Zhang Yang who was obeying the order under He Bai, shouted violently and interrupted the silence of the two, "Lu Bu, give my lord the order." Mu Shun slapped his gun and ran away fiercely. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu raised a halberd and stabbed the horse under the horse. Everyone was shocked.
From Zhang Yang's mouth, we can see that Mu Shun's heart had already followed Ding Yuan and came today just to fight Lu Bu. Mu Shun followed Ding Yuan for a long time and knew Lu Bu's courage. He did not think that he could kill Lu Bu. He only hoped that his death would let the world know more about Lu Bu's martial arts so that there would be a method to target him.
However, Mu Shun died easily, and his death shocked all the eight princes. Everyone knows Mu Shun's intentions, but he doesn't want Mu Shun to die calmly. He fights for his life with the will of death, but only gets Lu Bu's casual halberd. The gap between them makes everyone stunned. Who in the world can match Lu Bu?
He Bai frowned at Lu Bu who was wielding his halberd indiscriminately, turned around and asked, "Brother Dian, how is Lu Bu's martial arts? Are you sure?"
At this time, Dian Wei's originally peaceful eyes revealed a little excitement and madness again, and murmured: "If you have an opponent in life, you will die without regrets."
He Bai was shocked and pulled Dian Wei to persuade him, "Brother Dian, why did you think so? If you die, what should sister-in-law and Xiaoman?"
Dian Wei took out the double halberds and said proudly: "Don't worry, if I had fought with Lu Bu two years ago, I would have lost more than I won. Now, I don't want to die, who can kill me in the world!"
