Chapter 314 Three Kingdoms Chaos (2)

Li Ru, Niu Fu, Duke.

"Father-in-law, according to my son-in-law, this Hangu Pass has escaped the control of Grand Tutor Yuan Kui."

Seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't interrupt him, Duke clasped his hands and continued, "Yuan Kai relied on nothing but the influence of his fourth generation and three princes, and Yuan Benchu's control over the camps in the West Garden."

"Now there are ten permanent servants inside and Ding Yuan outside. If he wants to control the government, he must call in strong reinforcements."

Hearing this, Li Ru nodded as expected, and agreed, "Ziqing is right, it must be because our whereabouts have been exposed, and Shi Changshi urgently ordered people to come with troops."

Dong Zhuo was noncommittal after hearing this.

After the initial anger, he finally calmed down: the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu attacked and killed the North and South Palaces, causing chaos in Miyagi. If the young emperor had the ability to pursue responsibility, most of the scholars and his party would be liquidated. Therefore, at this juncture, They can't suddenly go back on their word.

"My lord, since Hangu Pass has been controlled by the eunuchs, we can take it down."

At this time, a general who was nine feet long, with a tiger body and wolf waist, and a leopard head and ape arms came out and worshiped: "I wish to be a teacher of tigers and wolves, behead all the thieves, hang them in the Guanlou, and openly speak to the Lord."

Hearing this, Duke, who was standing at the top position, changed his face, and subconsciously wanted to stop it.

It's a pity, Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard Hua Xiong, his favorite general, "I am indeed the tiger of Xiliang!"

Judging from this meaning, it seems that he is really planning to send him. Thinking of this, Duke's expression changed instantly, and he thought:

I always feel that this trip will not be too smooth. This Hangu Pass... I am afraid it is not so easy to break through. I can't play the trump card as soon as I come up. I have to send someone to test the water first and find out who the guard is.

Frankly speaking, since he joined the Xiliang Army, Duke has been particularly worried about one thing: Guan Erye suddenly rushed out and hacked to death his strongest general.

However, just when Duke was about to speak out to dissuade him, a short and sturdy general walked out of the queue and said in a low voice: "My lord, general, how can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? I broke through the Hangu Pass like searching for something!"

Hu Zhen? .

If you really want to doze off, someone will send you a pillow.

Duke took a look at this man, and said first, "General Hua Xiong is my general from Xiliang, so he shouldn't go into battle lightly. If the news gets out, the soldiers under his command will think that we are afraid, and they will boost the morale of others for no reason..."

"That's right, it's nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs, how can it be worthy of General Hua Xiong to take action."

All the generals in the account agreed one after another.

You know, Hua Xiong is a veritable Xiliang brave general. Although he is a rising star, after several battles, he can vaguely be as famous as Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Xu Rong and other generals.

From Dong Zhuo's point of view, the current situation is to use the strong to attack the weak. In this case, it is necessary to send out strong generals in the army, which will not only make a fuss out of a molehill, but also cause the soldiers to speculate.

And he was able to climb from a local tyrant to Bingzhou Mu and Yu Xianghou, so he is naturally a person with something to do. I saw him holding down the handle of the knife, and said with a hammer: "After marching thousands of miles, the generals also have great ambitions. comfort."

"Hu Zhen."

"The end is here!"

"I order you to be the vanguard, lead three hundred heavy cavalry, go to Hangu Pass to call for a battle, and defeat the rats defending the city."

"promise!"

"Zhang Heng listened to the order."

"The end is here!"

Another solid general walked out of the queue and touched the ground on one knee.

"I ordered you to lead two hundred heavy cavalry and raid the formation for Hu Zhen. There is no room for loss!"

"The last general takes orders." Zhang Heng's face was firm.

miles away.

Hangu Pass.

Half an hour had passed since the shooting of the small enemy school, and the guards were no longer excited, silently clutching their weapons and staring at the front.

It was like a sudden stop after a storm, a war that would shake the world's thirteen states was about to break out.

"Luoyang, which lives in the world, has been in peace for nearly two hundred years, but in the end, it still couldn't escape the flames of war."

Deputy Lieutenant Zhang Jing muttered to himself, since Emperor Shizu Guangwu rejuvenated the Han Dynasty, there has never been a soldier coming to Hangu.

Now, this peace has finally been broken.

"Silence."

Lu Li glanced at Zhang Jing and said in a low voice, "The enemy striker is here."

I saw the dust flying in front of me, two dark shadows, one in front and one behind, shot towards Hangu Pass, and a tiger roar resounded through the sky:

"Help the evil, why don't you come down sooner!"

Zhao Yun raised his brows, holding the gentian silver gun, and said loudly: "Brother, Yun please fight."

Between the words, he looked at Guan Xia repeatedly, obviously really angry.

And Lu Li felt a lot of emotion in his heart: from today onwards, I am afraid that the world will fall into war and quarrels, all wanting to use righteousness as a pretext, but only he knows who is right and who is against.

"Zilong stay safe and don't be impatient."

After saying that, Lu Li put his hands on the crenel of the city wall, looked at the short and sturdy Hu Zhen, and raised his voice: "Now that the son died and the young emperor was young, the captain of the capital came to guard the place under the order of the empress dowager and Lu Shangshu. Hangu Pass, who are you listening to?"

"Is there an edict?"

In any case, the name of righteousness cannot be lost.

"Teacher..."

Hu Zhen pointed his spear at Guanlou, but he swallowed the words, thinking: No matter how famous the Yuan family in Runan is, they are no match for the Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor.

"I came to Luo this time at the invitation of Taifu Yuan Kui. Later, I heard that the general was killed and the blood of the first emperor was left outside the palace, so I urged the soldiers to hurry and cross the river."

At this time, Zhang Heng, who was in charge of Luezhen, took the initiative to step forward, and said in a gentle voice: "Although there is no edict, but he is the king of Qin, please be lenient."

Time is running out, and if you can win Hangu Pass without bloodshed, it will be a great achievement. Therefore, Zhang Heng decided to give Lu Li another chance——

How could such a young boy be able to withstand Hu Zhen's blow.

And Lu Li smiled, and put on a harmless posture, "Haha, I'm really sorry, I can't accommodate, the two generals should go back and tell Dong Hou, please go back the same way."

"Squirrels!"

"Stop talking nonsense, do you dare to come down and fight?"

Hu Zhen was already impatient.

And beside Lu Li, Zhang Yang, who had been watching from the sidelines until now, said in his heart: I have always heard that there are two more rising stars in the Bingzhou Army, but now I see that everything is fine, but I am too cautious.

In the eyes of this Wu Meng officer, Hu Zhen and Zhang Heng who came to call the battle can only be said to barely get rid of the reputation of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and they can roam the land of a county, but here——

Roaring and barking, they can be slaughtered at will.

With this in mind, Zhang Yang smiled and said to Lu Li, "General Lu, since leaving Bingzhou, he hasn't done a certain amount of merit. Why don't you give him a chance. When the battle is over, Qing and others will stand by and watch and see how I can take his head."

"General Zhang is famous in the north, how can he go to war easily? Sending a small colonel is enough."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun and Zhang Yang froze in place, wondering what Lu Li was trying to trick——

Looking at the entire Hangu Pass, there are only three of them generals. Although it is a bit of a loss to fight against the two third-rate generals below, if they are replaced by other people, it is no different from death.

At the same time, Lieutenant Zhang Jing shrank back. He was loyal, but he was not stupid either. Ten lives were not enough to compete with the side general from Xiliang.

Seeing this, several other small schools followed suit, and when they saw someone looking over, they buried their heads in unison.

"If that's the case, let me fight in person."

After going around for a long time, Lu Li finally expressed his true plan: to participate in the first battle, make his first contribution, and gain more sense of presence before leaving this world.

Because of this, without waiting for Zhao Yun to say more, he said with a hammer: "Since the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion last year, I feel ashamed that my brother has not done an inch, but is still in the position of Yangwei General. Today, I am willing to fight for you, and I will win. Of."

"Have you ever discussed who to send to die?"

Hu Zhen, who had been waiting for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and cursed loudly.

In fact, this is called "challenge". It uses insults and demonstrations outside the camp to stir up the anger of the enemy generals, making them unable to hold back and lead their troops to fight. It is a very low-level trick, but it is very effective. Affect your own morale.

"Be blind! If you don't dare to fight, get out of the way quickly. You only have this opinion all your life. You can't live up to these eyes. You are as cold and silent as a donkey on a dog!"

"How can a beast pay a big deal! When we enter the King of Jingqin, why don't we let him go?"

"Baby boy, can you recognize this general?"

Amidst the shouting and cursing, a gap opened in the door weighing ten thousand catties, and Lu Li, who was wearing black armor and riding a black-maned horse, drove out slowly.

"Who is it?"

Under Lu Li's playful eyes, Hu Zhen raised his spear with a proud expression on his face: "So, Hu Wencai, the Xiliang warrior!"

"I've never heard of it, what kind of pig and dog?"

In a word, Hu Zhen broke his defense in an instant, his face turned red, he stopped trying to use his words, and rushed directly to pat the horse.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the spear in his hand shone with cold light, which chilled the hearts of the spectators.

clang!

The sound of gold and iron clashing came out, like a thunderbolt on the ground in the wilderness.

The tip of the spear pierced obliquely from bottom to top, like a poisonous python, but Lu Li easily blocked it with an iron horse halberd.

On the other hand, Hu Zhenming attacked first and took advantage of it, but now his mouth was numb, caught off guard, and almost dropped his spear.

Therefore, Hu Zhen restrained his expression and looked at Lu Li seriously: "You can know your name later."

"Lu Mengming in Bingzhou."

After speaking, Lu Li swung the iron horse halberd, which was more than ten feet long, and took Hu Zhen's head straight.

Underestimate the heroes of the world?

All of a sudden, a gust of strong wind blows towards the face, and before it gets close, it blows the corners of Hu Zhen's mouth and beard up and down.

At the moment of life and death, Hu Zhen clenched his teeth and raised his refined spear to block.

Immediately afterwards, the sand and dust were shaken up, the shadows of the two were distorted and slanted, and the sound of weapons colliding could be heard endlessly.

Due to his experience with weapons, Lu Li specially invited skilled craftsmen to forge the halberd in his hand with refined iron and divine stone powder, which weighed more than two thousand catties.

It is no exaggeration to say that once he activates his fighting spirit and makes a full attack, he can split a small mountain and change the terrain of mountains and rivers to a certain extent.

However, to deal with a reckless man who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, there is no need for such a big battle, so as not to expose his true strength.

"kill!"

Hu Zhen, who was shrouded in despair, let out a long roar, and the red and black aura exploded, and he vigorously pushed away the iron horse halberd, and then, the afterimage of the gleaming spear tip was danced out, illusory and real , like a poisonous python, both sinister and powerful.

And Lu Li's indifferent face remained unmoved, until the cold light in his eyes continued to enlarge, and he was less than two feet away from his eyes, before he clenched his halberd and blocked it casually.

"This vision... is really weak."

With a whisper, Lu Li's eyes became sharper. He had honed his sword for ten years, but he had never tried the frost blade. He had practiced the halberd for a year. He was taught by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, and he was fighting with Zhao Yun. Now he can finally see blood...

"Zhang Heng, save me!"

Fear fell in an instant, and Hu Zhen felt that half of his foot had stepped into the gate of hell. He didn't care about face, and directly called for help.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he found that the long halberd that was lying in front of him like Mount Tai suddenly disappeared and was out of sight.

Instinctively, Hu Zhen put aside distracting thoughts and stood up to block again.

clang! clang! clang! Three knocks.

The sparks dissipated, and the iron horse halberd cut the spear in front of it out of shape, and the powerful force made the Xiliang warhorse fall to its knees.

As for Hu Zhen.

At the moment of death, he got a breakthrough, and his scarlet eyes were fixed on Lu Li, as if he had forgotten the embarrassment just now.

It's a pity that Lu Li didn't respond at all. An ant would still be an ant after breaking through, barely able to resist Guo Tai, the Yellow Turban veteran who had been killed a year ago.

"Kneel down, I won't kill you."

The answer to Lu Li was an afterimage. The broken spear became stronger and sharper under the blessing of the battle spirit. Hu Zhen, who had abandoned his horse and fought on foot, charged forward.

At this moment, Hu Zhen felt that he was stronger than ever before, even if he confronted Hua Xiong, he would be sure to win, let alone an unknown young general with decent strength.

This guy is so bloated...

Seeing this, Lu Li was slightly distracted. At the same time, his hand holding the halberd tightened a little, and he moved forward.

block.

Hu Zhen had seen this move no less than ten times, and every time he would feel powerless, but this time was different, he had already foreseen the scene of Lu Li killing people with the halberd.

"Doggie..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and the blow that was close at hand couldn't go out no matter what.

Lu Li didn't bother to taunt, so he poured all his strength into his wrist and shook it vigorously, and the iron horse halberd seemed to disappear out of thin air.

However, Zhang Yang, who was watching the battle from the Guanlou, could clearly see that the blade of the halberd was licking the flesh and blood of the enemy like a demon, leaving dozens of bloodstains on his chest, abdomen, and thighs in an instant.

But Hu Zhen held a broken spear in his hand, his eyes were wide open, his voice was rattling, as if he couldn't bear the blow, his fighting spirit and reason collapsed together.

"The murderer, Taiyuan Lu Mengming!"

With a long howl that shook the Xiliang army, the battle ended.

In an instant, the dust covering the battlefield dissipated, the ordinary soldiers held their breath, and unconsciously looked at the place where the two generals were fighting——

I saw Hu Zhen being picked up, his whole body completely disintegrated in the air, and was shattered into a fluff by an unspeakable force, and spread out.

After dozens of breaths of effort, the winner was determined. The soldiers felt that it was both long and short, and they didn't feel relieved for a long time.

At this moment, Lu Li stood the long halberd in front of him, pulled out the magpie bow that the young emperor personally gave him before he left, took the arrow, and drew the string in one go.

"Don't move, move is death."

Zhang Heng, who was about to pull the rein and escape for his life, stopped in an instant, swallowed his throat, and said falteringly: "What orders does the general have?"

After saying that, he took the initiative to throw away the tasseled gun in his hand, showing a harmless appearance to humans and animals:

escape? What a joke!

He was only a little stronger than Hu Zhen before the breakthrough, and the other party obviously didn't try his best, and barely warmed up, so what did he use to escape?

Lu Li rode on the back of a black-maned horse, condescending, and looked down at the corpse on the ground with contempt, and said coldly, "I gave this guy a chance, but unfortunately he couldn't grasp it. Now the chance is yours, I don't want to Kill you and let you go back, but you will send a message to Dong Hou for the sake of it, and say to him: Before you make a big mistake, quickly return to Xiliang..."
