Lu Bu chased out on his horse, and then with a powerful blow from his halberd, he killed Peng Yue on his horse.
A bright knife light flashed by, and only a headless corpse fell to the ground, and a blood-red head was still rolling on the ground with its eyes open.
Peng Yue's army confidants who witnessed this bloody and horrific scene were all terrified and sweated profusely.
Lu Bu indifferently pulled the reins to stop his horse, turned over and jumped off. He was not afraid at all that Peng Yue's cavalry would take advantage of the opportunity to attack him. He picked up the thrown Fang Tian Hua Ji carelessly and looked down for a few times.
Seeing that one side of the halberd blade was slightly curled up due to the powerful throw just now, he couldn't help but frowned in pain.
That's all.
Anyway, Xiang Hanzi had a bad brain, but he had plenty of money, and people were not stingy and treated him very generously.
This weapon is damaged. When we return to the city, have someone make a few more to keep as backup.
Lu Bu changed his mind and his mood improved a little.
It was not until this moment that he remembered that there were dozens of Peng Yue's most trusted riders surrounding him.
He raised his eyebrows, and without rushing back to the jade lion's back, he majestically placed the long handle of his Fang Tian Hua Ji firmly on the ground.
Although he looked lazy, an aura of one man standing against ten thousand enemies suddenly emanated from his half-smile.
Lu Bu looked at the people who were showing fear with contempt, not realizing at all how disadvantaged he was at this moment being alone. Instead, he spoke arrogantly, his voice like thunder: "Why don't you surrender quickly?"
However, seeing the powerful force of his halberd just now, everyone present was shocked by this question and lost all fighting spirit.
When the dozen or so Chu cavalrymen who had realized the situation belatedly rushed out on horseback, leaving the enemy soldiers around them and rushing to rescue them arrived, they were dumbfounded to see with their own eyes that dozens of Peng Yue's knights had gathered together and seemed to be surrounding the general. They were like lambs seeing a tiger, and they really did as they were told, dropping their weapons and kneeling down to beg for surrender.
Lu Bu snorted, and as if it was a matter of course, he climbed onto his horse's back, and ordered them in dissatisfaction: "What are you standing there for? Take the people away quickly!"
The generals woke up as if from a dream and responded hastily.
Just as Lu Bu urged Yu Shi to walk a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and ordered again: "Pick up the head of Peng the thief and take it with you!"
Peng Yue was the commander-in-chief, but he abandoned his soldiers and escaped, which had already chilled the hearts of the military officers.
The few who were still fighting lost their will completely after seeing Peng Yue's head hung high by the Chu army.
The clanging sounds of weapons falling to the ground could be heard one after another. The Chu army was busy taking prisoners, but the main general, Lu Bu, was nonchalant, riding a jade lion dyed light pink with an arrogant look on his face, circling the field with a bloody body.
Wherever he went, he aroused the excitement of the Chu cavalry and cast respectful glances at them, and also made the captured soldiers feel uneasy and dared not look directly at him, but lowered their heads in dejection.
Little did they know that although Lu Bu seemed to be showing off his might, he was actually absent-minded.
Except for Han Xin, his good old brother who had fought with Peng Yue once, probably no one in this world knew how serious a hidden danger he helped that fool eliminate was.
Just in the battlefield, he took the initiative with a surprise attack. Although he was outnumbered by the enemy, he had the advantage of the elite and combat-skilled Chu cavalry, so it was easy for him to kill a group of vagrant soldiers.
Fighting alone, this time he didn't meet any opponent.
Thinking about it this way... I feel more and more that there is nothing to be proud of.
Lu Bu waited for a while with an expressionless face. Seeing that the mess had been almost cleaned up by his soldiers, it was not a good idea for him to go anywhere else with the more than 4,000 prisoners who were in the way, all of them covered in the dirty blood of the enemy.
Thinking that Yan County was only eighty miles away from Chaoge City, he made a prompt decision and led his group toward that place.
Deputy General Zhou Lan, who was sitting in Chaoge with a nervous heart, was really surprised when he suddenly welcomed back the main general Lu Bu.
He was just surprised by the blood and gore on the commander's body, and then he saw the large group of prisoners following behind him. He was dumbfounded: "General, what is this-"
"You've poked a hole in the rat's nest," Lu Bu said impatiently, "Why don't you clean it up?"
After saying this, he walked into the hall while giving a disdainful glance.
It's such an obvious thing, why does he need to bother explaining it
How could he be a match for Han Xin, his former deputy general, if he was so ignorant of others' cues
Zhou Lan: “…”
After Lü Bu had bathed, changed his clothes and eaten his meal, he lay on the throne that once belonged to Sima Ang with a contented look on his face, one of his long legs stretched out wantonly, the other lazily bent, and one hand casually flipping through the recent military newspapers.
The reason why he deliberately turned back to Chaoge City was, of course, to investigate the military situation on the front line.
He read the thick bamboo slips at a glance and learned that during the time he was wandering outside, the Chu army had been victorious in all directions. And because Chen Ping successfully persuaded Zhao Xie to surrender, Zhang Er's isolated army was defeated.
The four routes were all powerful and unstoppable, and because the Overlord had changed his bloodthirsty style, the cities that knew they could not withstand the enemy were willing to open their gates and surrender.
In a short time, most of Zhao's territory had been recaptured, and the four armies were about to meet up and join forces with Qi to wipe out Zhang Er's troops who were still resisting stubbornly in Boyang.
A trace of bewilderment flashed across Lu Bu's tiger eyes, and he pushed away these military reports with a lack of interest.
With his sharp eyesight, he could see that even if ten more Liu Haozi appeared to stir up trouble, they would not be able to shake the absolute victory of that fool in unifying the world.
It really is true that the day is not far away for him to avenge himself and withdraw from the mission.
Lu Bu smacked his lips.
Suddenly, he seemed to taste an inexplicable bitterness.
He was just daydreaming when the tactless deputy general Zhou Lan suddenly came to report a trivial matter.
It turned out that they were the four military officers who followed King Xiang's order to send Bo Nu back and give the order to Han Xin that day. They took Bo Nu back to Chaoge City without knowing that Han Xin had been ordered by Lu Bu to lead his troops north.
The person in charge of the city at that time was the deputy general Zhou Lan. He did not dare to act on his own, so he just placed them in a hall and waited for General Han or General Lu to return before questioning them.
"Thin girl?"
Lu Bu once served the fat thief Dong in the two capitals of Luoyang and Chang'an. He had seen countless beauties, not to mention that he also took the stunningly beautiful Diao Chan as his concubine. His standards had been raised.
Later, by chance, he came to this place hundreds of years ago. During that time, he lived in the palace and Qinchuan Palace with the Overlord. None of the plain-looking palace maids around him caught his eye.
Moreover, his mind and eyes were fully occupied with killing Liu Haozi to avenge his hatred, and he was always busy thinking about the Foolish King of Western Chu who was always doing bad things to him. How could he have the time to look for beautiful women to enjoy
Now that he suddenly had some free time, and upon hearing that the girl had been Wei Bao's concubine and that the foolish king was actually going to give her to his cheap brother, Lu Bu couldn't help but become a little interested, and without hesitation ordered, "Bring her up."
He had no intention of stealing someone's beauty - he was just curious and wanted to see what this beauty who lived hundreds of years ago looked like.
Zhou Lan didn't know the secret of 'giving birth to an emperor' and just thought she was an ordinary beauty. Although she felt something was wrong, she couldn't say much because of the commander's violent and stubborn temper.
So he followed the order and brought the person back soon.
When the four officers learned that the king's favorite general wanted to see Bo Nu, they were immediately in great distress.
What made them nervous was that when the king first spoke, it was clear that he wanted to give the girl to General Lu, but he changed his mind after a moment and gave her to General Han instead.
After all this going on and on, they were certainly confused, and how could they dare to guess what the king was thinking
The general currently in charge of Chaoge is General Lu, who is very interested in meeting Bo Nu...
If General Lu is willing to recruit him, how can they stop the king from seeking his favorite general
But if I agree, how can I report to the king and General Han who had his beauty taken away afterwards
The group walked in respectfully, not daring to look up, and bowed down to worship.
No matter how anxious they were, they dared not show it in front of General Lu, who was notorious for his brutality and was said to be able to beat even the tyrant.
Lu Bu said calmly: "Get up."
Little did he know that these people were worried that he would force the girl to marry him, so they quickly glanced at the girl.
One glance and I completely lost interest.
Thin girl
It is worthy of the name, this beauty... is quite thin.
Lu Bu had seen many beauties of extraordinary beauty, and at this moment he just wanted to see the fun of his cheap brother who had just started having sex. He would never really look down on Bo Ji, who was just so-so in appearance.
He waved his hand lazily and drove the confused group of people out.
After walking out of the hall in a daze, these people could not help but look at each other.
—As expected of the King’s beloved general, even his unfathomable deep thoughts are exactly the same.
Because of the girl's ordinary appearance, Lu Bu completely forgot about her as soon as they left the palace.
After giving the order to reward the soldiers and letting the soldiers who had worked hard with him for more than a month to rest up in Chaoge for a while, Lu Bu lay comfortably on the couch, his mind unconsciously drifting to Xiang Yu.
It had been a while since he had kept Hanzi under his watch, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy because he was too worried.
I wonder what that fool is doing
While Lu Bu was lying there, bored, and subconsciously thinking about the fool who always ruined his plans, Xiang Yu, who was summoning all the ministers to discuss matters in the main tent, seemed to have sensed something.
His mind moved, his eyes blurred slightly, and he was startled.
I wonder what happened to Fengxian, who led his troops to protect the tunnel...
Because of his majestic demeanor and his usual stern expression, no one in the tent could tell that the king was already in a trance.
It was not until Fan Zeng suddenly called out "Your Majesty" that Xiang Yu's eyes fixed and he suddenly came back to his senses.
However, the Chu army had just captured Boyang City not long ago, but failed to capture Zhang Er and his men, so they took the remaining troops and fled to Linzi.
Following Fan Zeng's suggestion, Xiang Yu did not rush to pursue, but first led his army to station outside Boyang City for a while to rest, then led only a few hundred people into the city and took over all affairs in Boyang City again.
Because the people in Boyang City had been coerced by Zhang Er's troops before, they had to fight hard to resist the siege of the Chu army, which made Xiang Yu spend more effort to besiege the city before he could take it.
Now faced with the Chu army's second incursion, not only were the people in a panic, fearing that these ferocious soldiers would no longer be tolerant and would settle scores later, but even Fan Zeng, who knew King Xiang's temper very well, was secretly worried.
Fearing that the king would be angry at the people for helping Zhang Er fight against Chu, he once again ordered a massacre in the city to vent his anger, thus making all previous efforts go to waste.
After Fan Zeng said this, Xiang Yu, who was completely unaware of his father's worry, concentrated and thought for a moment, and finally digested the information that he had just heard and forgotten. He looked at everyone present calmly and said indifferently: "I will follow your father's words."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Fan Zeng, but everyone present felt relieved that the heavy stone hanging on their chest fell to the ground silently.
Fan Zeng felt relieved and let out a long sigh.
As he relaxed, he couldn't suppress the smile of relief on his wrinkled face.
If the king had not really come to his senses and realized the importance of the people's support, how could he have truly given up his murderous intent and treated the surrendered prisoners so magnanimously
Xiang Yu was unaware of everyone's joy. He just looked towards the seat where his favorite general was sitting out of habit for many times, and he looked at nothing for many times.
There were dozens of people present, but the only one missing was his beloved general who looked lazy but had bright eyes.
Nor were the two eye-catching pheasant tail feathers that were always shaking.
A hint of unconscious loss flashed across Xiang Yu's eyes.
Whatever.
Although he liked to use force and conquer the four corners of the country with great force, he was impatient with scheming and trickery.
But according to the advice of his father and other counselors, only by calming the people and being tolerant and waiting for surrender can the Central Plains be pacified early. And only by eliminating the rebels early can the army be led back to the capital Xianyang early...
Xiang Yu stroked his inexplicably restless chest thoughtfully, but he still couldn't suppress his desire to return home.
