Just as Cao Ren was convinced by Cao Yun and was about to fight Lu Bu in front of the pass…
On the other side.
Yuan Shao had no choice but to raise the bid again."As long as we can defeat Lu Bu, we will reward you with 2,000 and 800 warhorses!”
"Our valiant general Liu Sandao can fight against Lu Bu!”
Hearing Yuan Shao's generous reward, Tao Qian stepped forward without hesitation. As for the bullsh * t of " killing Lu Bu within three blades ", he didn't dare to boast anymore.
With someone taking the lead, the others naturally didn't want to be left out and sent their names to the death list one after another.
"Good!"
Yuan Shao pretended to be overjoyed, but when he heard the nameless names, he cursed in his heart.
Liu Sandao, Wang Chong, there was an 80 to 90% chance that even Hwa Xiong couldn't defeat them!
They had to go up one by one and send their heads to the enemy.
Not only would it not boost morale, but it would also cause morale to collapse rapidly.
"Is there anyone under Meng De who can fight against Lu Bu?!”
Yuan Shao looked around and didn't rush them to fight. Instead, he focused his gaze on Cao Cao's face and said solemnly,"This time, we can only succeed if everyone is united…"
Yuan Shao's meaning was obvious.
The various dukes have all appointed generals, but you should at least give one, right?!
How could Cao Cao not understand Yuan Shao's meaning?
"Lord, Dian Wei requests to fight!"
Dian Wei stood out from behind Cao Cao. It was rare for Cao Cao to value him so much. How could he make things difficult for him at a critical moment?!
Of course, Dian Wei wasn't afraid of Lu Bu.
"Impudent!"
"You can't even ride a warhorse, how can you fight Lu Bu?" Cao Cao immediately rebuked.!”
"Isn't this a joke?”
"Here!"
Hearing this.
The corners of the dukes 'mouths twitched almost at the same time.
Yuan Shao glared fiercely at Cao Cao, his face full of black lines.
Can't you be more careful when you find excuses?!
I can understand why you found a lame reason to not want him to go to the battlefield!
A general who didn't know how to ride a horse?
Do you think we're all idiots?
Facing the disdainful gazes of the crowd, Cao Cao was also depressed.
It's rare for me to be honest, and you don't believe me?!
What a bunch of idiots!
He had no choice.
Yuan Shao could only give up after being rejected by Cao Cao's righteous words.
The war drums beat again.
The pitiful Liu Sandao below the city gate tower had not even made his second strike before he became a dead soul under Lu Bu's halberd.
After that, three generals appeared, but they still did not manage to make a single move.
Lu Bu waved off the blood on the halberd and shook his head at Guan Shang, shouting,""Are there any more good-for-nothings coming up to die?!”
On the city tower, the eighteen feudal vassals were as silent as cicadas in winter.
As the Alliance Master, Yuan Shao once again pretended to sigh,""If my generals…"
The princes were speechless.
Alliance Master, I beg you to withdraw your divine power?!
At this moment, Cao Cao was already cursing in his heart. He even regretted recommending Yuan Shao as the alliance leader.
Even if the dukes had their own ulterior motives, they would at least gather their troops and contribute their strength at the critical moment.
But what did you, Yuan Shao, want to do by hiding two generals?!
Wasn't it just to plot against Jizhou?
Cao Cao understood, but Han Fu was still in the dark.
When Yuan Shao asked again, no one answered.
"Humph! You dukes are really cowardly turtles. Let me go down and meet this servant of the three surnames!”
Zhang Fei's temper flared up. He raised his spear and was about to rush down the city pass.
Liu Bei understood that his chance to increase his reputation had finally arrived. When everyone was helpless, even if the three of them worked together to defeat Lu Bu, they could still gain a huge reputation.
After all, Lu Bu wasn't someone ordinary people could defeat.
Liu Bei cupped his hands towards the dukes and said,""Let the three of us go and meet Lu Bu!”
"Second brother, prepare the horses. We will hold the line for third brother.”
Guan Yu, who seemed to have fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes in anger. A sharp light flashed across his eyes.
"Yes, big brother!"
"Good!"
Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei's brother was skilled in martial arts and was the most suitable candidate to win him over since he had no status.
He clapped his hands and praised,"Men, warm the wine for the three generals."”
"No need."
Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said in an imposing manner,""It won't be too late for us brothers to drink after we take Lu Bu's head!”
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Lu Bu was still cursing and cursing when he heard the dull beating of war drums. The gate of the camp opened.
Everyone was stunned.
Especially Liu Bei and Guan Yu. They didn't expect Zhang Fei to charge out without any care.
"Second brother is fast. Third brother alone is not a match for Lu Bu!”
How could Liu Bei stay any longer? He immediately rushed towards the city pass.
After that.
A dark-faced burly man ran up to them. Who else could it be but Zhang Fei?!
Liu Bei and Guan Yu were stunned.
They looked at each other.
Not only them, even the other dukes were stunned.
After that.
A general in silver armor and a white robe rode out of the city pass. When the dukes saw this grace, they couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's Zian!"
" What?!"
Cao Cao turned pale with fright when he heard this. He hurriedly stuck to the city wall. Who else could it be but Cao Yun?!
"Good!"
"Meng De, so you already had plans!”
"I knew it. How could Meng De sit back and watch Lu Bu humiliate us?!”
"Brother Meng De, you are indeed the backbone of the Han Dynasty. With Zi 'an, Lu Bu will definitely lose.”
"Not bad!"
“……”
Before Cao Cao could say anything, all the vassals immediately called him.
Cao Cao's face darkened.
At this moment, Cao Ren rushed to the city gate and whispered into Cao Cao's ear.
His expression changed again and again, and finally, his pupils suddenly dilated.
" Zian is really confident?!"
"Good!"
Cao Cao knew that the arrow was already on the bowstring. His expression turned solemn as he said loudly,
"Everyone!"
"My son will definitely be able to defeat Lu Bu. Everyone, immediately reorganize your troops. Once Lu Bu is defeated, we will launch a counterattack!”
Hearing this.
The dukes immediately reacted and praised Cao Cao.
"Meng De is indeed far-sighted!"
“……”
Indeed.
Cao Yun's capture of Hua Xiong was enough to prove that his martial arts skills were extraordinary. They believed 90% of Cao Cao's words.
They arranged for their subordinates to return to the camp to reorganize their troops.
