After Sun Jian returned, he was also questioned by the major princes.

The main reason was that everyone thought he could at least dampen the opponent's morale, but in the end he fought back and forth with an unknown general, which was really unworthy of the reputation.

"Everyone knows Wentai's strength. He failed to capture Lu Bu's men, which shows how strong he is. We should still pay attention to him."

After a while, Cao Cao also came in with his subordinates. After hearing about Sun Jian's matter, he also took it very seriously.

"Xu Chu, the mere defender, is not worth mentioning. I am willing to be the vanguard!"

When Guan Yu heard that everyone was afraid to move forward, and thought of his sworn brother being looked down upon by everyone, he also said proudly that he could deal with Xu Chu.

"Who are you?"

Yuan Shu and others did not take military generals seriously, so they started asking.

"Horse Archer Guan Yu."

Guan Yu had no respect for Yuan Shu, so he responded directly.

"Haha, several of our generals haven't shown up, but you, a mere horse archer, are quite confident."

Yuan Shu was not one to be polite and started to ridicule directly.

"I have General Pan Feng, who can kill Xu Chu!"

Han Fu immediately uttered that classic line.

It was bad enough that Han Fu was poached by Xu Wenhao for Zhang He, but now that Zhang He has become a general and has great power in the court, he feels a little dissatisfied.

In addition, he is now under Yuan Shao's command, so naturally he has to help out.

"Okay, then let Pan Feng go in the next battle to dampen Xu Chu's arrogance!"

Yuan Shao also hoped that his own people would make achievements, so he designated Pan Feng as the vanguard next time.

"Here!"

After hearing this, Pan Feng was also very confident and immediately accepted the order.

"Brother, why are you stopping my second brother from going to the battle?"

Here Zhang Fei also asked Liu Bei why he didn't let Guan Yu fight.

"Don't worry, third brother. There are many experts on Lu Bu's side. Let your second brother go later so that he can be taken seriously. Besides, we are here to defeat Lu Bu and save the Han Dynasty. It doesn't matter who goes first."

Liu Bei also expressed his thoughts, so Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't say anything more.

Although he was confident in his military strength, he did not think he could win all the way, mainly because he was also aware of Sun Wentai's strength.

So, the next day, after the eighteen princes gathered, Pan Feng went to Hulao Pass to challenge.

"Lü Bu, come out and fight me!"

Pan Feng didn't know what was going on, and he just challenged Xu Wenhao.

In fact, it was because he found out that Zhang He was poached by Xu Wenhao instead of him, and he felt looked down upon, so today he thought of revenge, and he didn't even think of Xu Chu, and directly challenged Lu Bu.

"Humph, you think you can challenge the general? You have to get past me first."

When Xu Chu heard Pan Feng's tone, he became very angry and rushed out with his sword in hand.

"Then I'll use you, Xu Chu, to establish my authority first!"

After Pan Feng finished speaking, he rushed towards Xu Chu.

Ten minutes later, the princes set up their tents.

"Report!"

"General Pan was defeated in the battle with Xu Chu. He only lasted one round before being killed. Now Xu Chu is challenging him from outside."

The herald also came in with a hint of fear and told about the battle situation.

"What? My General Pan Feng!"

Han Fu was also dumbfounded after hearing this.

When the other princes heard the battle report, they were still stubborn and sent Bao Zhong, Zu Mao, Yu She and others to fight Xu Chu.

Subsequent battle reports came in every few minutes, making the princes terrified.

"Even Lu Bu's subordinates are so powerful, let alone Lu Bu, we..."

Several princes who had come to join in the fun also spoke quietly.

"He's just Xu Chu. My second brother is invincible!"

Zhang Fei had long been unable to hold back his anger, mainly because the princes had previously mocked Liu Bei and looked down on Guan Yu, a horse archer, so of course he would not be polite now.

"There is no joking in the army. If you lose, you will be punished."

Yuan Shu had long been displeased with Sun Jian and Guan Yu, these peasants, so naturally he was secretly expressing his intention to be punished if he was defeated.

"There is no joke in the army."

Guan Yu was not afraid of Xu Chu. This was mainly because he made his judgment based on his previous battle with Sun Jian, so he naturally dared to accept the order.

"General Guan, I'll have someone warm up a glass of wine for you. Drink it first before you go."

Cao Cao appreciated Guan Yu's courage and ordered him to pour a glass of hot wine to encourage Guan Yu.

"Put down the wine, I'll be back soon."

Guan Yu waved his hand, walked out of the tent, picked up his sword, mounted his horse and rode away.

Xu Wenhao had already told Xu Chu to keep an eye out for a man holding a crescent-shaped sword, as he was quite powerful.

Xu Chu did not take this seriously. When he saw Guan Yu come out, he knew that he was the general Xu Wenhao had mentioned.

Neither of them thought highly of the other, so naturally they started fighting without any further ado.

Xu Chu had fought four battles before, but he won all of them easily. If Xu Wenhao had not given instructions, Guan Yu might have been able to defeat Xu Chu with those first few moves.

"Xu Huang, go and fetch Xu Chu back."

Xu Chu was at a disadvantage in the early stages and it was a bit difficult for him to fight the enemy, so Xu Wenhao naturally asked Xu Huang to bring him back.

"Okay General."

Xu Huang also saw it, so he hurriedly rode his horse to support them.

"I'll fight you next time, humph!"

Xu Chu did not forget to make some harsh remarks.

The main reason was that he really underestimated his enemy, otherwise even if Xu Chu lost, it would have to be after 100 rounds. Guan Yu was the type who was good at using only three axes, and in a protracted battle, his crescent-shaped sword might not be able to withstand Xu Chu's broadsword.

"Report, General Guan defeated Xu Chu!"

The messenger quickly reported the news back to the camps of the eighteen princes, and Guan Yu also acted quickly.

"General Guan, the wine is still warm, please!"

Cao Cao was very happy when he looked at Guan Yu.

"Thank you, General Cao."

Guan Yu looked at Cao Cao, who was very polite to his elder brother, and also became polite.

But this scene between the two of them also made the two Yuan brothers look at them with a different meaning, but now they are still allies, so they naturally won’t say much.

Anyway, just like Sun Jian, let people be cannon fodder first, it will be easy to deal with whether they are alive or dead.

"Tomorrow our entire army will attack Hulao Pass. Since General Guan is so brave today, let General Guan and General Sun serve as the vanguard tomorrow."

Yuan Shao also waved his hand, signaling the allied forces to attack Hulao Pass together tomorrow.

In this way, the princes also withdrew one after another and prepared their armies for tomorrow's attack.

At night, when Sun Jian returned to the military camp, he found out that their food and fodder had not been arranged yet, so he brought several generals to Yuan Shu, who was in charge of food and fodder.

"General Yuan, why haven't our food and fodder been delivered yet? Our soldiers are almost starving."

Sun Jian also asked.

"General Sun, so many people in the coalition army need food and drink. It's not easy for me to be in charge of the food and fodder. I'll send it to you tomorrow, okay?"

Yuan Shu also waved his hands impatiently and had nothing to say about Sun Jian's unfavorable attack.

"you.."

When Sun Jian's generals heard Yuan Shu's tone, they all wanted to lose their temper.

"Okay General Yuan, please arrange for food and fodder as soon as possible."

Sun Jian didn't dare to say anything more. After all, the two brothers of the Yuan family were officials for four generations and they were not people that a peasant like him could afford to offend.

But he also thought of Xu Wenhao's warning at Hulao Pass, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
