Chapter 144: Conquering Hulao
Except for Lu Bu and Ao Lie, no one watching the battle could have seen that Lu Bu was intentionally injured. In their eyes, the battle between Lu Bu and Ao Lie has always been a battle of dragons and tigers, which is extremely dangerous. As the battle deepened, Lu Bu became weak and failed to block Ao Lie's long sword. He was stabbed by Ao Lie's left shoulder with a sword.
Lu Bu's roar seemed to confirm this point: "I can't be considered a hero if I bully someone, and the green mountains are not changed. Green waters flow forever. You and I will fight tomorrow!" Lu Bu said this to make others more convinced that Ao Lie injured himself in a head-on duel. After leaving this sentence, Lu Bu turned the Red Rabbit and ran towards Hulao Pass. The city guards who had received the order from Li Ru quickly opened the door, connected the eight hundred trap camps of Lu Bu and Gao Shun into the pass, and then slammed the city gate.
Because Lu Bu was defeated too suddenly and left at will, he did not give all the princes to react. When they reacted and wanted to pursue the victory, the gate of Hulao Pass was closed.
Seeing that the things he had planned and finally picked the fruits of victory by Ao Lie, Liu Bei felt completely disappointed, and the disappointment that had never been before spread in his heart. Those planned achievements and those opportunities to become famous at your fingertips seemed to have gradually faded away, leaving only a ridiculous back for Liu Bei. Liu Bei looked at Ao Lie blankly, and his anger was beyond repulsion. It was Ao Lie again! Every time, Ao Lie stole the limelight, and he could only serve as a complete loser to highlight Ao Lie's success! Why was fate so arranged? Why was God so unfair? How could a Han clan who changed his surname to compare himself to the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan everywhere?
Puff—
The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more angry he became. He couldn't help but open his mouth and spit out, dyeing the collars on his chest red. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were guarding Liu Bei's side, were shocked. They thought that Liu Bei had left secret injuries in the battle with Lu Bu just now, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Bei's body, so that Liu Bei could stabilize his body so that he would not fall off the horse's back.
Zhang Fei was impatient and opened his mouth and roared: "Lu Bu, you hurt my elder brother, I am incompatible with you!" As he said that, he picked up the snake spear and was about to rush out. Liu Bei quickly grabbed Zhang Fei and whispered: "Third brother should not be reckless. Hulao Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so don't show off." Guan Yu also advised: "Third brother, it's important to take care of my elder brother. Hulao Pass is there and can't run away. Today's hatred will be taken back in the future."
Hearing Liu Bei and Guan Yu say this, Zhang Fei barely suppressed his anger, gave up the idea of killing Hulao Pass, and said mutteringly: "It's a pity that Brother Mo Han didn't stab Lu Bu to death just now." Liu Bei, who had already returned to normal, felt a little bored when he heard Zhang Fei's words. He finally suppressed his tumbling blood and his face had turned into a sickly flush.
Ao Lie looked at Lu Bu and returned to Hulao Pass with injuries. At this moment, he had already understood Lu Bu's intention and felt very moved. No matter what others' evaluation of Lu Bu is, in Ao Lie's eyes, Lu Bu is always a brother worth relying on. Ao Lie believes that the brotherhood between him and Lu Bu will remain unswerving until death.
Slowly retracted the Chixiao Divine Sword that was still stuck in the air. Ao Lie sighed and rode his horse toward the coalition camp. After a few steps, Ao Lie suddenly thought that Lu Bu would rather be injured than pick him up in front of the princes of the world. Then he would also repay him and maintain the title of Lu Bu's Tiger God of War. Thinking of this, Ao Lie secretly used the Wuji Nine Yang Achievement, shattering all the nine arrow sores that had not been healed on his body. The red blood instantly wet Ao Lie's clothes and flowed out from the gap between the Dragon's Sky Armor.
When Ao Lie walked back to the formation, the place where the armor was not covered, the red blood could be clearly seen. Zhao Yun and Ma Chao quickly rushed forward, supported Ao Lie and walked back, and then helped Ao Lie take off the Youlong Xiaotian armor, revealing the white robe that was already soaked in blood.
"Military doctor, call the military doctor!" Ma Chao shouted loudly.
Ao Lie waved his hand and signaled that it was not serious. Then he handed the double-stranded sword to Liu Bei not far away, and smiled and said, "Thank you for using the sword for me, and now you will return the original item."
Liu Bei was silent for a while, and hid all his thoughts in his heart. A smile appeared on his face that looked very sincere. He reached out to take the double swords and said at the same time: "Ao Junhou is brave enough to be the three armies, and he is really worthy of the title of champion Hou."
Ao Lie smiled humbly and said, "Duke Xuande is too much. If it weren't for Lu Bu's consecutive battles, he might not be his opponent. Didn't Xuande Duke see that he was covered in blood?" Ao Lie's words implicitly praised Lu Bu, which was equivalent to indirectly admitting that Lu Bu is the current god of war. At the same time, such a loss-losing ending is also an acceptable result for all the princes. Otherwise, if Ao Lie went on the battlefield with injuries and could still hurt the mighty Lu Bu, it would be too easy for others to doubt.
Several other princes also surrounded him, caring about Ao Lie's injuries, whether true or false. Gongsun Zan praised sincerely: "The king and the lord took the battle with the wounds, not only saved Xuande, but also repelled Lu Bu in one fell swoop. He is really the reincarnation of the overlord."
If you sincerely praise, there will be false praise. Yuan Shu's sarcastic voice sounded: "Oh, Ao Junhou is really the bravest army. Look, see, who can still injure the war god Lu Bu today? Only Ao Junhou, but, seeing that Junhou's injury recurs, it still needs to be treated well." Ao Lie also heard what Yuan Shu meant. He was mocking Ao Lie for using his bloody injuries to get the result of stabbing Lu Bu with his sword.
Ao Lie didn't care about this. For people like Yuan Shu, not to mention that he didn't know the relationship between him and Lu Bu, even if he knew, he might not understand the kind of brotherhood that was both alive and dead. Didn't you see that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, two brothers of the same clan, were still incompatible with each other? People like Yuan Shu, probably no one can touch his heart except himself.
"Donalds, now that Lu Bu is injured, it is a good time for our army to attack Hulao Pass. A certain old injury recurs and cannot fight again. The rest depends on yours." Ao Lie bowed to the princes and said.
Yuan Shao took over the conversation with great care: "Don't worry, Lord and Majesty. As long as Lu Bu can't fight again, it's easy to capture Hulao Pass." Sun Jian urged to take a step forward and said loudly: "I still ask for my order to be the vanguard of our army!"
Ao Lie wiped the blood on his body indifferently and said loudly: "Okay! If you are lucky, Sun Taishou is still the pioneer in the front line. Brother Bo Gui is on the left wing, brother Benchu is on the right wing, and the rest of the princes are on the back, so immediately the power to attack Hulao Pass!"
Everyone responded with a loud promise, and then went back to their own camp to rectify their troops. Only Cao Cao stayed and came to Ao Lie and whispered: "The old wounds of the Lord and the Lord recur, and the blood flowed continuously. You should be treated as soon as possible. The military doctors stayed in the rear army, so please ask the Lord and the Lord to return to the rear army to treat the wounds. There is someone here to ensure that you will capture Hulao Pass before the sunset. Please rest assured."
Ao Lie nodded, turned to call Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, and ordered them, "Zilong, Meng Qi, you two lead the army to stay here, obey Brother Meng De's instructions, and attack the Huzhu with all their might." Zhao Yun and Ma Chao agreed repeatedly, and then urged Ao Lie to go to the rear army to heal as soon as possible.
All his troops were left to Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, and Ao Lie brought only five hundred elite soldiers of the Blood Killing Camp. Under the escort of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, he returned to the camp of the rear army.
As soon as they entered the camp, the governor of Xuzhou Tao Qian, the governor of Beihai Kong Rong and others who were left behind in the camp welcomed him. Seeing Ao Lie bleeding all over, Tao Qian and others were shocked and quickly sent their soldiers to call the best military doctors.
With the support of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, Ao Lie got off the saddle and bowed to Tao Qian and others and said, "I have the opportunity to welcome you, Tao Envoy and Kong Beihai." Tao Qian and others politely said a few words, then hugged Ao Lie and walked into the central army's tent, waiting for the military doctor to come to treat Ao Lie's injuries.
Later, several military doctors quickly walked into the tent and began to work around Ao Lie. They boiled water, treated the wounds, and dispensed medicines. The entire tent suddenly became extremely busy.
Kong Rong looked at the busy military doctors and sighed: "If Mr. Yuanhua is here, his efforts can cure the injuries of the king in a blink of an eye."
"Mr. Yuanhua? Who is that?" Ao Lie asked in confusion.
Tao Qian said, "Mr. Yuanhua is the miraculous doctor Hua Tuo. This person has the superb medical skills of life and death, flesh and bones, and can be called the world's number one miraculous doctor."
It turned out to be Hua Tuo. Ao Lie showed a sudden enlightenment and then asked: "Do you dare to ask Envoy Tao to know where Mr. Yuanhua is now?"
Tao Qian and Kong Rong looked at each other, and both smiled bitterly and said, "I won't know this. Mr. Yuanhua likes to travel around the world and save lives and heal the wounded along the way. No one can tell where he is going."
Listening to their answers, Ao Lie's heart moved and he thought silently. The medical skills of the Han Dynasty were extremely underdeveloped, but two miracle doctors were produced, one was Hua Tuo who was just mentioned by everyone, and the other was Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing. In Ao Lie's army, some injured soldiers often appeared, who were seriously injured and left their names on the Zhonglie Monument. Such similar incidents have always been a hidden pain in Ao Lie's heart. In Ao Lie's eyes,
The lives of a soldier are precious. For this reason, Ao Lie recruited a large number of clinics in the army, but there were still soldiers who died of serious injuries. Today, he suddenly heard Hua Tuo's name, which made Ao Lie suddenly have an idea to invite Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing to the army to heal the injured soldiers. Even if these two miracle doctors cannot be left behind in the end, at least they must stay in the army for a while and teach the medical officers in the army some emergency skills.
Just as Ao Lie was thinking about it, a crisp voice interrupted his thoughts: "I know where Mr. Yuanhua is!"
Ao Lie looked up and saw Sun Ren standing at the entrance of the big tent, with a pair of lively eyes looking at him without blinking.
