That night.
Lu Bu did not drink.
Instead, he rested early and cultivated his essence, qi, and spirit to the peak.
The next morning.
Lu Bu washed away the smell of alcohol.
He changed into an inner lining, put on the beast face armor, and tied the blue silk belt.
"Bang!"
A silver crown was taken out from the wooden box.
Two pheasant feathers soared into the sky, as if they were clamoring for an eternal battle intent.
"Haha!"
Lu Bu patted the dust off his pheasant feathers and put the silver crown on his head, muttering,""Today, without Marquis Wen and Xu Prefecture Overseer, I am Lu Fengxian of Jiuyuan. Why should I fear death on the battlefield?”
"Kengchi!"
The sword hung at his waist, and the halberd was in his hand.
Lu Bu's eyes were filled with fighting spirit as he strode out of the manor.
"Jiang Kai of Yanmen pays his respects to General Lu!”
"Zhang Lu of Wuzhou pays his respects to General Lu of Jiuyuan!”
"Shuofang Liu Shi greets General!"
"Governor Jin Yang greets Lord Lu!”
"Lin Yi of Shangjun greets General Lu!”
"West River High Ridge is willing to follow General Lu to the death!”
"Meng Guang of Shangdang is willing to fight to the death with General in Xiapi!”
One, two, three, less than 300 soldiers lined up in front of the prefect's manor.
"Pa da!"
"Pa da!"
"Pa da!"
Chen Gong moved out of Red Rabbit's room and said solemnly,""Chen Gongtai of East Martial Yang is willing to die on the battlefield with General today!”
"You guys!"
"Why don't you surrender?!"
"Why are you courting death with me?”
Lu Bu's eyes reddened, and his halberd hand trembled.
"General!"
Jiang Kai stepped out, his eyes filled with the will to die. He shouted,"Men of the Northern Borderline, why fear the blades of the battlefield? If we fight Xiapi today, how can we leave the city and surrender?”
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
Less than 300 people roared.
The wind and clouds changed color, as if a hundred thousand wolf riders were roaring.
"General, mount your horse!"
Chen Gong's eyes were filled with determination.
"Swoosh!"
Lu Bu jumped onto the red rabbit, his pheasant feathers fluttering in the wind. He looked at his 200 soldiers and shouted,""Bing Province's Wolf Cavalry, go to battle with the Rong Manor. If you die today, your soul will return to the northern border in the future.”
"Kill them!"
The soldiers roared.
He raised his spear and jumped onto the battle steed.
Two hundred soldiers, carrying the souls of one hundred thousand wolf cavalry from Bingzhou, marched out of Xiapi City valiantly.
In the past, Lu Bu might have been a servant of the three families, and the hundred thousand wolf cavalry might have lost their strong bones. But today, Lu Fengxian of Jiuyuan had returned, and the unparalleled wolf cavalry of Bingzhou had returned.
The first battle, or perhaps the last battle, would be at the Rong Residence.
The autumn wind blew.
The banners were spread out in the wind.
The wind and sand that filled the sky and the murderous aura reverberated on the ground.
Lu Bu stepped forward with his halberd and shouted," Lu Fengxian of Jiuyuan is here. Marquis Beishou, why don't you get into formation?"”
"The Wolf Riders of Bing Province are here!"
"The Wolf Riders of Bing Province are here!"
More than two hundred soldiers held their spears and roared.
The killing intent that belonged to the border was completely displayed in front of countless people.
That kind of crazy expression blended with the desire to die. It was like a wind blowing in the northern border, sweeping away countless Hu children.
"The Wolf Cavalry of Bing Province!"
"Border soldiers!"
"Nine Plains Lu Fengxian, Bing Prefecture Flying General!”
Cao Cao, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Xun You ascended the watchtower, their eyes filled with shock!
A general leading two hundred people to fight to the death, this kind of scene almost made them flabbergasted, unable to be described with words.
"Stomp!"
"Stomp!"
Xiao Bei boarded the chariot.
Dressed in military uniform, he stood in the carriage with his sword.
Wearing armor and carrying a sword was the greatest respect he could give Lu Fengxian of Jiuyuan and the wolf cavalry of Bing Province.
In every era, in every chaotic world, there would always be some people worthy of respect. Lu Bu, who had once guarded the border, and the Wolf Cavalry of Bing Province were among them!
"Fight!"
Lu Bu roared.
Red Hare stood up on its hind legs, neighing as it looked down at the cavalry of the Rong Manor's First Battalion.
"Xiao Xinzhi from Rong Manor!"
Xiao Bei stood on the chariot and said extremely solemnly.
The halberd in Lu Bu's hand flashed with silver light as he shouted,""Nine Plains Wolf Riders, Lu Fengxian!"
"The third battalion, battle!"
"If Lu Fengxian and the Wolf Cavalry of Bingzhou can kill their way to within 50 steps, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei will lead 500 Tiger Guards, 500 Leopard Guards, and 500 First Battalion soldiers to fight the Wolf Cavalry of Bingzhou!”
"General's command!"
Cao Ren, Xu Chu, Dian Wei.
"Kill them!"
Lu Bu shouted.
He kicked the red rabbit's abdomen, raised his halberd, and took the lead in charging.
Looking down from the sky, it was as if a red light was sweeping across the ground and rushing toward the vast army.
"Shoot!"
Cao Ren pointed his sword at the sky.
The soldiers of the third battalion drove crossbows and chariots.
Arrows were drawn out from the wooden barrels one after another, and with a thunderous sound, they shot towards the two hundred Fearless Wolf Cavalry.
"Boom!"
The halberd waved.
The silver light slashed down from the sky and shattered a crossbow arrow.
Lu Bu's face was ferocious as he endured the pain in his arms and galloped.
Weng!
Weng!
Arrows descended on the battlefield one after another.
The wolf cavalry was fearless, but they were still too weak against a great killing weapon.
Jiang Kai was dead, Zhang Lu was dead, and Liu Shi was also dead. In just an instant, less than ten of the two hundred wolf riders had died.
At this moment.
They were still a hundred steps away from Xiao Bei's chariot.
"Boom!"
Another arrow was fired.
It shattered Chen Gong's sword and nailed him to the ground along with his horse.
At this point, there was no one behind Lu Bu, but the charge continued.
"Buzz!"
The arrow brushed past him again.
This time, he didn't stand in a deadlock. His hand holding the halberd didn't tremble.
Red Rabbit continued to drag him along as he galloped. The ancient halberd was like a heavenly pillar that shattered the arrows one after another. The web between his thumb and forefinger had already been torn apart, and fresh blood dyed his clothes and armor red, flowing on the halberd shaft.
"Is he still human?"
Cao Ren's eyes were filled with horror.
One person could really shatter the bolts of a crossbow chariot.
Under the attack of hundreds of ballistae, could someone really kill their way within 50 steps of Xiao Bei?
"Too strong!"
Xu Chu was moved.
" No!" Dian Wei held his halberds and said hoarsely," As long as he is Jiuyuan Lu Fengxian, the number one general in the world, he is worthy of his name!"”
"Boom!"
Lu Bu channeled his energy into the halberd.
He swung his right arm and threw it out. It broke through a crossbow bolt and nailed it five steps away from the chariot.
"Bastard!"
"Where are the Tiger Guards?!" Xu Chu asked angrily.”
"Where are the Leopard Guards?"
"Where is the 1st Battalion?"
Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun roared in horror.
Just now, if Lu Bu had taken two more steps forward, the Heavenly Halberd might have pierced straight into Xiao Bei's body.
"Hey!"
The two divine steeds neighed in horror.
It almost overturned the balance of the tank!
"Don't move!"
Ma Yun Zao used all his strength to calm down the commotion of the warhorses!
Seventy steps away.
Red Rabbit stirred up a strong wind and dust.
Lu Bu drew his Dragon Tongue Bow and shouted,""If I die in battle today, I will stab the Heavenly Halberd into the Nine Plains City Tower. If you die in battle, you will be called the Marquis of Beishou!”
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Bei took out the three-stone bow.
Without any hesitation, he pulled out the arrow and shot.
Lu Bu was an existence who could shoot halberds from the main gate. Killing him within seventy steps was no problem.
"Ding!"
The two arrows collided in the air.
A large cluster of sparks exploded in the battlefield, extremely dazzling.
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
Another six arrows collided.
Xiao Bei has the ability to raise Youji to pierce a poplar tree with a hundred paces, and Lu Bu has the ability to shoot a halberd at the Yuanmen Gate.
The two of them shot out more than ten arrows in an instant, and they all collided in the void.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Three more hisses.
The two arrows collided.
An arrow pierced through the sparks, broke through Lu Bu's armor, and pierced his heart.
"Good archery!"
"As expected of the Marquis of Northhunt!"
Lu Bu's eyes were dazed as he muttered to himself, lying on his horse and dying.
"Hey!"
Red Rabbit neighed.
His gaze was extremely ferocious as he threw out countless blood beads.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he still dragged Lu Bu's corpse and charged towards Xiao Bei's chariot.
"Damn it!"
"Less than thirty steps!"
Cao Ren quickly rushed to the front of a ballista.
Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, and the others did the same. They quickly controlled the ballistae and released the bolts.
Weng!
Four arrows shot out of the wooden chamber.
With a whoosh, Red Rabbit was shot by a crossbow arrow.
However, its footsteps only paused for a moment before it continued to gallop forward with a neigh!
Puchi, the three arrows pierced into Red Rabbit's body, stopping its charge and stopping it in place.
"Hey!"
Red Rabbit's body swayed.
He was lying on the ground in an extremely strange position.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Bu's body did not fall off his horse.
Horse blood gushed out from Red Rabbit's wound like a fountain and dyed the Great Emperor red.
At this moment, countless people saw the mournful cries in the eyes of this divine steed. Lu Bu among men, Red Rabbit among horses, had disappeared before their eyes just like that!
"Dead!"
Cao Ren heaved a sigh of relief.
Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Xiahou Dun were also extremely glad.
Xiao Bei walked out of the chariot and pulled out the Heavenly Halberd from the ground. He said hoarsely,"Zhou Cang, take 500 Tiger Guards and capture Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and the Wolf Cavalry of Bing Province. Bury them outside Xiapi City!”
"Here!"
Zhou Cang shouted.
Xiao Bei stabbed the Heavenly Halberd in front of the two earthen altars and the white flag and said in a deep voice,"Zhongkang, take down the battle flag tomorrow, wrap the pottery altar and halberd and bring them back to the Rong residence. Place them at the border during the northern expedition!”
"Here!"
Xu Chu shouted.
Xiao Bei looked to the side and ordered,"Cao Zixiao will be the commander of Yingyang City in the future. He will serve the surrendered army of Xuzhou and establish Yingyang Prefecture in Xuzhou. You will personally appoint the commander of Yingyang City. Cao Zilian will be promoted to the commander of the third camp and Zang Xuangao will be the deputy general!"”
"Here!"
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Zang Ba replied.
Xiao Bei turned to look at the vast army and ordered,"The 4th Battalion will immediately send out a large army to gather all the counties in Guangling Prefecture. Within a month, the military and political power will be handed over to the Xu Prefecture's Provincial Governor's Office and the Eagle Mansion!”
"Here!"
Xiahou Yuan shouted.
Xiao Bei ordered again,"The first and third battalions will move to Xuchang today!"”
"Here!"
Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong shouted.
The Battle of Xiapi ended.
Lu Bu and Chen Gong died on the battlefield.
Xiao Bei and the generals of the Rong family were not very excited.
Wen Hou and Lu Bu might have been the servants of the three families that were despised by the world, but Lu Fengxian of Jiuyuan and the 200-odd Wolf Cavalry of Bingzhou had shocked them.
This feeling.
It had already far surpassed the Battle of Lanling.
In the middle of August, Cao Cao and Xiao Bei returned to Xuchang. The news of Xuzhou's Dading had also spread.
Yuan Shu of Huainan.
Sun Ce of Jiangdong.
Liu Biao of Jingzhou.
Xinye Liu Bei.
They were all tense and increased the number of troops deployed at the front line.
Nanyang had the Valiant Cavalry Mansion, and Xuzhou had the Eagle Mansion. The two mansions faced each other, forming a line of defense against the south. They were also two attack points. A total of 40,000 troops made these dukes unable to sleep and eat in peace!
At the beginning of September, the news had already spread all over the country.
Jizhou.
Wei County, Ye City!
In the main hall of the Prefecture Overseer's Estate.
Yuan Shao's subordinates fell silent.
Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, took control of the three auxiliary regions and the north, took over Hongnong, Henan Yin, and Hanoi. In addition to the original Yanzhou, Runan, Pei, and Nanyang, his power was already very close to the four northern regions.
Perhaps, the troops of the Rong family were not as many as they were.
However, the speed of the battle of Xu Prefecture made them understand how terrifying this military headquarters was.
"My lord!"
Xu You stood up and said,"Lu Bu is dead!"”
"Yes, I am!"
"Dead!"
Yuan Shao's eyes were filled with complexity as he mocked himself,""The battle of Tiger Cage Pass made all the vassals in the world recognize the incomparably brave Flying General Lu Wenhou. They thought that no one in the world could match him, but now he is dead, dead in Xiapi!”
"My lord!"
Tian Feng stood up and said,"A brave general cannot change the outcome of a war!"”
Qiushou also stood up and said," Lu Bu's death was destined. He ruled Xuzhou. How could a mighty lord like Cao Cao tolerate the existence of a ferocious tiger that could easily devour people by his side?!"”
"Haha!"
"Cao Aman, who used to catch chickens and walk dogs in Luoyang, has become a big shot!" Yuan Shao mocked.”
"My lord!"
Xu You continued," Now that Xu Prefecture has been pacified, Cao Cao's next step will definitely be to annex Xiliang and then station his troops on the south bank of the Yellow River. He will use this to confront us. If he really takes Xiliang, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
"What do you mean?"
Yuan Shao said with a frown.
Xu You bowed and said," This year, we will attack Youzhou. We must kill Gongsun Zan and then station our troops on the north bank. This will force Cao Cao to fight us now. If we delay the time, he will become a great threat in the future!”
"I agree!"
Yan Liang and Wen Chou stood up.
"Second!"
Guo Tu, Feng Ji, and the others also agreed.
Now, the Jizhou Province was in a life-and-death crisis.
If a ferocious tiger wanted to grow stronger again, they had no choice but to give up on the exchange of benefits and stabilize the situation first.
As long as Cao Cao was defeated, Yuan Shao would be the number one duke in the world. In the future, he wouldn't be fighting for the position of heir, but the position of the crown prince, or…
"Phew!"
Yuan Shao suddenly stood up and said decisively for the first time,""Immediately give the order to Qingzhou. The army will enter the Bohai Sea from the plains and set their sights on Guangyang Prefecture of Youzhou. Then, order Gao Gan and Zhang He to station their troops at the edge of Daijun. As long as my army moves, the three armies will attack Youzhou together!”
"Here!"
The civil and military officials shouted.
