The Fire Cloud Horse was also known as the Fire Cloud Horse. It was a breed of horse from the Western Regions. Its entire body was red. The Red Rabbit Horse was a branch of this breed. In the early years, Dong Zhuo's forces had extended into the Western Regions, so he had some friendship with the nobles in the Dawan area. However, these good horses were not very common in the Western Regions, and Dong Zhuo only had a few of them.
Naturally, Lu Bu liked good horses. However, good horses also required good luck. The Flaming Cloud Horse was extremely restless in front of Lu Bu, and it was extremely unstable in the hands of Dong Zhuo. However, it was unexpectedly obedient in the hands of Guan Yunzhang. Zhang Fei's brothers were really envious. Guan Yu had always wanted a good horse. He didn't dare to have extravagant hopes for Zhang Fei's Purple-Gold Lion Monkey. Zhao Yun's Traceless Treading on Snow didn't suit him. It was also the will of the heavens that allowed him to obtain this Fire Cloud Horse.
"Strength! Dragon King!" Guan Yu's killer moves were continuously demonstrated, the surrounding soldiers cheered and cheered, their blood boiling. Zhang Fei was also very happy when he saw this. He lifted his spear and jumped up, saying,"Chief Yun! Let's exchange two moves!" Guan Yu was now full of vigor as he shouted,""Take this!"
Dragon King was Guan Yu's killer move. Once he was suppressed by this move, even if his strength was slightly higher than Guan Yu's, he would be doomed. The saber was powerful and heavy. If it was swift and fierce, it would be abnormally overwhelming. Guan Yu was probably at his peak right now. Zhang Fei saw this and wanted to exchange a few moves with Guan Yu because there was no one else who could fight him to his heart's content.
A ray of sunlight passed through the blade and shone diagonally on Zhang Fei's face. Zhang Fei still had that eternal expression, serious and slightly domineering. It was fine to say that he was unkempt or born ugly, but his curly beard was very imposing in the eyes of the soldiers. However, in the eyes of many seasoned soldiers, a curly beard was more frightening than a beautiful beard. Therefore, many seasoned soldiers had curly beards. They believed that Zhang Fei's bravery could bring them good luck. In fact, it was true. At least Zhang Fei had never disappointed them.
"Flying Dragon in the Sky!" The Moon Concealment Saber swung out a bright light, and the inner strength on the tip of the saber made a sizzling sound like lightning. Zhang Fei did a carp jump, his face facing the sky, and forced this move away. He roared,"Good timing!" The Snake Lance pushed against the ground and bent into a bow shape. When it could not bend anymore, it bounced into the air with the lance. In the air, it changed its body shape. The cold air from the Snake Lance could be felt in a radius of 70 - 80 feet. However, it was not the Snake Lance in Zhang Fei's hand that made everyone feel cold, but Zhang Fei's smile. It was a proud and slightly cruel smile, a smile of battle!
"Secret skill! Avici Hell-- The Footstep Mirage and the Eight Step Chasing Toad allowed Zhang Fei to create his secret technique through his strong body and unparalleled explosive power. It was also a move that he rarely used. Most of the time, he did not like to use such a fancy fighting style, but today! He had his reasons.
Six Zhang Fei! That's right, there were six Zhang Fei! It descended from the sky, sealing off all of Guan Yu's escape routes, it was a killer move among killer moves, death would indeed brush past him if he was not careful, or…
Guan Yu knew the gap between him and Zhang Fei. He also knew that no matter if it was strength, speed, or reaction, he could not compare to such a wild beast. What he needed to do now was to determine which one was Zhang Fei's real body. With the eyes of a martial artist with superb martial arts, he could believe that those were just Zhang Fei's afterimages. However, he still could not tell!
"Hehehehe!" Zhang Fei's smug laughter came from the sky and kept approaching Guan Yu who was sitting on his horse. The surrounding soldiers were very sure of the consequences of such a killing move. Everyone held their breaths. Everyone present was extremely nervous. Zhao Yun's pupils were fixed on Zhang Fei who was falling from the sky. Although he knew that Zhang Fei would not be able to hurt Guan Yu, the madness in the battle still made him careful. In a battle between experts, life and death were only a matter of breaths!
"Crack!" A loud sound rang out, it was not the sound of Zhang Fei's killer move, but the sound of fire cloud horse! Could it be that the Fire Cloud Horse was frightened? Absolutely not. Perhaps it felt Zhang Fei's killing intent and was angry, so it crushed the stones on the ground! Guan Yu was shocked by the fiery cloud horse that he was riding on. He suddenly felt enlightened and a sense of emptiness arose. Killing move, how could there be a killing move? In that instant, Guan Yu knew how to break it.
"Fire Dragon Spirit!" The thrilling moment had arrived. Without any warning, the Fire Cloud Horse seemed to know Guan Yu's intention. It leaped up and blocked everyone's line of sight. Because it blocked the sunlight, the dazzling fiery red made everyone's eyes close slightly. No one saw the moment of the exchange, but they all felt the excitement and excitement of that moment!
"Hehehehe! It's indeed amazing!" Zhang Fei shook off the tattered cloth on his body and said with a smile. Guan Yu got off the horse and knelt down on one knee to Zhang Fei with cupped fists, saying,"Thank you for your guidance, elder brother!" Zhang Fei brandished the Snake Lance in his hand and said with a smile,"Ten years of hard thinking is not as good as a moment of enlightenment.”Not far away, Zhao Yun and a few of the Zhang brothers softly said in a daze,"Horse and Horse Unity!"”Amidst his shock, he had confidence in his goal.
All the dukes knew about Li Suye meeting Zhang Fei, but their reactions were different. Only Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan were furious. Yuan Shao only maintained his silence because he was the Alliance Master! Cao Cao naturally didn't care about Zhang Fei's matters. In fact, he didn't want to care about anything related to Zhang Fei. Kong Rong was a good man who was loyal to the emperor and loved his country. Regarding Zhang Fei's actions, he directly came to question him, completely disregarding the fact that Zhang Fei had saved his beloved general a few days ago. Zhang Fei only smiled at Kong Rong's question and asked,"Is it wrong for him to repay me for saving his life?”Kong Rong was a person who paid the most attention to etiquette. Hearing Zhang Fei's words, he said,"If it's not colluding with the enemy, then it's fine.”Zhang Fei found it extremely funny when he saw him being so pedantic.
However, the next thing that happened caused the dukes to have a strong reaction. Because Zhang Fei's appointment document had arrived. At least, there were only a few people present who had such a title. Now, there was another Zhang Fei, and it was in front of Tiger Cage Pass. What made the dukes even more uneasy was that Zhang Fei's brothers had all been made Krupp Conquering Generals. At this time, the dukes began to be wary of Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei smiled and did not comment.
"To dispel doubts, I'm willing to be the vanguard!" Zhang Fei stood up and asked for orders. However, he saw Yuan Shao and the surrounding dukes exchange glances before slowly saying,"We'll talk about this later!" Zhang Fei knew that Dong Zhuo's methods were brilliant, but it was not a big deal. It was not out of control. As long as he was careful, this little trouble was not worth worrying about.
"I'm willing to be the vanguard!" Sun Jian saw that everyone present, except Zhang Fei, was a coward, so he stepped forward and stood out. Yuan Shao saw that someone was willing to take the lead, so he said,"Gongtai's bravery is known to the world.”
"I didn't fail my mission!" After saying that, Sun Jian led a few of his generals out of the tent. Twenty thousand men and horses sneaked north along Tiger Cage Pass and charged towards the Si River. Although Zhang Fei despised Yuan Shao's suspicion, he was still worried about Sun Jian's journey. Because the alliance before the pass was a very rushed matter, he didn't have time to explore the surrounding terrain. He only stationed in front of Tiger Cage Pass according to the general situation. Although the Si River was small, it was very important. If they couldn't attack Hulao Pass, they could use this place as a starting point to cross the Yellow River and reach Hanoi County. After returning to the other side of the Yellow River and entering Hulao Pass, they could give Dong Zhuo a fatal blow. However, Zhang Fei could imagine that Dong Zhuo, who was experienced and astute, would know the importance of the Si River. He had never thought that these dukes would be so arrogant that they would even miss such an important place.
Zhang Fei estimated that Sun Jian would be able to attack the Si River in one day according to his current speed. It was not impossible for him to lay an ambush in just two days. If he ran out of food and grass in these few days, Sun Jian would definitely be defeated. The food and grass inspector of the alliance army was Yuan Shao's younger brother, Yuan Shu. The food and grass of the 200,000-strong army were supplied by Zhang Fei's Black Armored Army. The food and grass of the other feudal vassals were provided by Yuan Shu. Therefore, The key to Sun Jian's departure was Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shu didn't make any small moves, with Sun Jian's strength, it wouldn't be a problem for him to conquer the Si River. However, based on Zhang Fei's personal judgment, Yuan Shu was a jealous person. If he knew that Sun Jian had won, he would inevitably stab Sun Jian in the back. For the sake of the big picture, Zhang Fei had Zhao Yun lead 2,000 cavalry. All the cavalry secretly followed Sun Jian's troops. On the second day, he saw Yuan Shu's grain transport cart following them. Zhang Fei's mood calmed down a little, but there was still a trace of unhappiness. He didn't know what it was, but he had a feeling that something was going to happen.
In order to put Hwa Xiong back, Zhang Fei had Zhang Ping push Hwa Xiong to Kong Rong. Zhang Ping said to Kong Rong,"There's no use keeping this person alive. It's better to let Milord deal with him. It can also be considered to have earned some face for General Wu.”Zhang Fei did this because he knew that Kong Rong would never kill Hwa Xiong. He was a good man, and more importantly, Kong Rong didn't have many powerful characters under him. Besides Wu Anguo, the other characters could even kill some of Zhang Fei's soldiers. This was because Zhang Fei's plan to let Hua Xiong go was to pretend to be the Xi Liang army and rob Kong Rong's camp at night. Then, he could let Hua Xiong go. No one would know that it was Zhang Fei who did it, and no one would say anything. Even if the dukes guessed that it was Zhang Fei who did it, they had no evidence. Therefore, this was a good deal.
In the evening, Zhang Yun, Zhang Feng, and 200 strong men sneaked into Kong Rong's camp. As they were familiar with each other, they knew the layout of the camp very well. At midnight, Zhang Feng chopped some unlucky guys with a thick machete and burned down some big tents. When Kong Rong realized what was happening, he saw Zhang Feng rushing out of the camp with Hua Xiong who was still sleeping. Taking advantage of the darkness, he smoothly released Hua Xiong according to Zhang Fei and Li Su's agreement.
At this time, ten miles away from the Si River, the ambush arranged by Li Ru had been waiting for Sun Jian and the others for a long time. Sun Jian had originally wanted to take advantage of the darkness to travel a little more and catch them off guard before dawn, but he did not expect to be caught off guard at this time. Fortunately, Sun Jian had been advancing in a battle formation. Moreover, the number of ambushes seemed to be restricted by the defense of Tiger Cage Pass, so they did not seem to have any advantage in numbers. Instead, after Sun Jian stabilized the formation a few times, they gradually gained an advantage.
Li Ru did not think that this ambush would succeed. The reason why he arranged such an ambush was to know how many men Sun Jian had. With a baseline, this battle would be much easier to fight. As for Zhao Yun's cavalry, they still maintained their silence and only scouted the situation from afar. Because it had not reached a bad situation, they did not act according to Zhang Fei's instructions.
