The next day, Lu Bu returned to Youzhou and made arrangements for Zhang Ling. This time, he didn't bring Zhang Ling with him. After all, he would be back soon after the Bohai Sea was resolved, so it wouldn't be appropriate to bring her along.
Then, he found out who the commander of the Bohai Sea was. When he found out that it was Guan Hai, he was shocked. Lu Bu knew how powerful Guan Hai was.
Without a general under him, Lu Bu called Zhang He back. He gathered 15000 soldiers and only brought Zhang He and his generals to the rescue. According to Jia Xu, the situation in the Bohai Sea was urgent, so they had to march quickly and arrive in a few days.
As soon as Lu Bu arrived at the Bohai Sea, he immediately sent out scouts to gather information. Not long after, the scouts reported,""My lord, Bohai City is surrounded on all sides. The Yellow Turban rebels have 20,000 people. They are currently attacking the city."
Lu Bu nodded and continued to observe. Then, he said to Zhang He,""In the current situation, all generals, follow me into battle to kill the enemy.”After saying that, he waved his halberd and charged towards the Bohai Sea. The crowd did not hesitate and immediately followed closely behind.
In the direction of the Yellow Turban soldiers, a Yellow Turban soldier said to a general,""General Guan, a large number of government troops have appeared in the western direction of the Bohai Sea. At a rough glance, there are probably 20000 of them.”General Guan was stunned and immediately ordered the soldiers to give up on attacking this city that was already in danger. Then, he rode his horse to the west.
As soon as General Guan arrived at the front line, he saw that there were indeed a few troops on the other side. He immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for battle. Then, he stood in front of the battle line and waited for the person who had disturbed his meritorious service.
As soon as Lu Bu arrived at the Bohai City, he saw many soldiers lined up 200 meters away from the city wall. Lu Bu knew that these were the Yellow Turban rebels who had surrounded the Bohai Sea. He immediately led the army into formation in front of the enemy and shouted,"I am the inner marquis of the Great Han Pass, the Youzhou provincial governor, Lu Bu Lu Fengxian. If you surrender now, you can avoid death, but if you refuse to come to your senses, you will be killed without mercy.”
Lu Bu started to speak in an official tone, wanting to use this to attack the morale of the other party. After all, in ancient times, who would dare to rebel if they were not forced to? However, the other party was not affected. Instead, they hated Lu Bu even more, as if they wanted to eat Lu Bu alive.
The person who seemed to be the leader rode to the front of the formation and sneered,"So you're a dog official of the imperial court. Recently, you've come to take credit with a great teacher.”Lu Bu looked at the fierce-looking man and the scar on his left cheek. He smiled and said,""You are Guan Hai?"
That person was stunned, but he still said with a stern face,"I am Grandpa Guan, so what?”Lu Bu sneered as he looked at him. Waving his halberd, he charged at him and shouted,""Let me measure you."
Guan Hai wasn't afraid. Laughing loudly, he used the large saber in his hand to swing his horse toward Lu Bu. The two horses clashed, and Lu Bu stabbed his halberd at Guan Hai's chest. Guan Hai immediately waved his saber to block Lu Bu's attack. Lu Bu pulled out his halberd and stabbed it at Guan Hai's abdomen. When Guan Hai swung his saber down to meet it, he immediately turned to stab Guan Hai's leg. Guan Hai did not dare to underestimate his opponent, so he immediately swung his saber down to meet it."Today, we actually encountered a powerful figure.”
He immediately swung his blade to block, but Lu Bu pulled back his halberd and secretly used his internal energy to slash at Guan Hai's head. Guan Hai immediately raised his blade with both hands to block.”Lu Bu's Heavenly Halberd chopped off the hilt of Guan Hai's saber. The halberd stopped at Guan Hai's head, but it did not kill him because Lu Bu wanted to use it for himself.
Guan Hai held the two halves of the broadsword in a daze. The shock in his heart could not be greater because there were many people in the world who used brute force to cut off the hilt of his sword to kill him. However, there was almost no one who could cut off the hilt of his sword and then put the weapon on his head. Almost no one could do this kind of instantaneous movement.
Zhang He and Jiang Gan were also shocked."Is the lord still human? Why is he so powerful?" In their hearts, the two generals had almost regarded Lu Bu as the God of War. Because they were both people with peerless martial arts, they knew what it meant to reach Lu Bu's level.
Lu Bu easily pointed the halberd at Guan Hai with one hand and pulled the reins of Guan Hai's horse with the other. Seeing that their commander had been captured alive, the enemy soldiers did not dare to move. Ignoring the shock of the two generals, Lu Bu directly used the back of the halberd to slap Guan Hai off his horse. A few soldiers rushed forward and tied Guan Hai up like a dumpling.
Lu Bu rode his horse to the front of the formation and said to the Yellow Turban bandits who were stunned and didn't know what to do,""The leader of the bandits has been captured by this general. As long as you surrender, this general will guarantee that you won't die with my credit.”
The Yellow Turban bandits obviously didn't believe him, but they didn't dare to run away because their leader was being kissed. Seeing that no one reacted, Lu Bu felt embarrassed and immediately shouted,""As long as you agree to surrender, you can return to Youzhou Province with this general and settle down there. This general will give you houses and land so that you can live a good life.”
After saying that, he ignored everyone's astonishment and pointed his halberd at the sky and swore,"I, Lu Bu, swear that if I kill the surrendered soldiers, I will die a horrible death.”The Yellow Turban rebels were shocked. There had never been a general who valued these surrendered soldiers so much. Not only did they value them, but they also captured and killed them. They all wanted to take their heads to claim credit.
All the Yellow Turban believed Lu Bu's words because swearing was taboo in ancient times. They immediately knelt down and said,""General, please spare our lives. We are willing to surrender.”" Alright," Lu Bu smiled." From now on, you will be the citizens of Youzhou. I will treat you equally."”
Lu Bu did this to help him earn some Kindness Points and to spread his reputation of not killing captives. In this way, as long as they fought with the Yellow Turban bandits in the future, there would not be a scene of fighting to the death. After all, it was better to live well than anything else. In fact, the Yellow Turban disciples were just a group of pitiful people who wanted to survive.
Lu Bu had everyone put away the weapons of the Yellow Turban disciples and then started cooking. He wanted to let these people, who had not eaten for god knows how long, have a good meal.
Lu Bu walked through the barracks and saw Yellow Turban soldiers who were all skin and bones everywhere. There were even a large number of children, women, and the elderly. Lu Bu couldn't help but feel sad as tears streamed down his face. Zhang He and Jiang Gan, who were standing at the side, saw Lu Bu's tears and sighed at his benevolence. At the same time, they couldn't help but sigh at these poor people.
Lu Bu gently wiped away his tears and kept asking about the well-being of some of the Yellow Turban disciples. The Yellow Turban soldiers were so moved that they kept kowtowing to Lu Bu. Gradually, more and more people kowtowed." Thank you, sir, for saving my life! Thank you, sir!" Lu Bu shouted for them to get up, but they all thanked him with tears in their eyes.
Lu Bu couldn't help but shed tears as he sighed,""Yeah, so these people are all loyal citizens of the Darkhan Dynasty.”Ordinary people were actually very innocent at times. As long as you treated them well, they would remember your kindness and support you. As long as you do something good for them, the people will even repay you with their lives.
