Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Chapter 188: Thief, let go of the sir!

Cao Ren and his men rode their horses to flee, and Lu Bu followed closely behind, pretending to chase them. Zhang Liao commanded the cavalry to continue attacking the allied forces, and chaos broke out on the battlefield again.

At the center of the coalition forces, Yuan Shao and his men's faces changed drastically when they saw their five generals being chased back by Lu Bu alone.

"Quick, stop him!" Yuan Shao shouted.

The nearby soldiers wanted to surround him, but Lu Bu was too close to the positions of his five generals, so if they surrounded him, they would have to surround those five people as well.

"Hurry up and let Wen Chou and others turn back to stop Lu Bu!" Yuan Shao also realized this problem and said to the messenger beside him.

Except for Zhang Fei who was injured, the other four were still intact. It seemed that four against one might not be a defeat. However, as soon as the messenger passed on the order, Yuan Shao was dumbfounded. He saw Lu Bu stabbing all four men with his halberd in a short while. Wen Chou's head was directly chopped off, Cao Ren's thigh was stabbed, and Zhang He's arm was cut with a big bloody wound. Guan Yu was in a slightly better condition, with only a small cut on his shoulder.

Zhang Fei, who was already injured, did not stop at all. He ran straight to the center of the army, shouting as he ran, "Damn it, Lu Bu is simply not a human being, too terrible, the leader of the alliance quickly ordered the withdrawal, otherwise our coalition's flag will be chopped off."

Zhang Fei actually wanted to say that the leader of the alliance was going to have his head chopped off, but he was afraid that Yuan Shao would be unhappy and make things difficult for his elder brother, so he euphemistically referred to the head as a big banner.

Yuan Shao was heartbroken at the loss of one of his favorite generals. He was both afraid and angry. He wanted to have his archers kill Lu Bu, but he was also concerned about Cao Ren, Zhang He, and the surrounding soldiers. He looked at the other princes around him and saw that several of them had already turned their horses around and slipped away.

Lu Bu was also afraid that Yuan Shao would order arrows to be shot, so he did not kill Cao Ren and his men, and just fell behind and chased towards the central army.

Yuan Shao looked towards the battlefield behind him again. The 40,000-strong coalition army was defeated by the Bingzhou cavalry and the Liangzhou cavalry, and the siege equipment was also destroyed. Not to mention breaking the city today, it was still unknown whether the team could return to Xingyang safely. No matter how unwilling Yuan Shao was, he could only order a retreat.

Everyone was afraid of Lu Bu, the killing god. After he gave an order, the princes following the central army hurriedly rode their horses to flee to Xingyang under the protection of their own personal soldiers. In the chaos, Zhang Mo, Amina and Xu Huang deliberately slowed down their horses and soon fell behind.

Cao Cao had just taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped and looked around. Seeing Zhang Mo was the last one left, he shouted, "Quick, go protect Mr. Zhang!"

Lü Bu was still some distance away from Zhang Mo. Zhang Fei suddenly had an idea and charged towards her, "I'll protect you, sir! Come with me and flee!"

He rode his horse straight forward, but lightly bumped into Zhang Mo's mount. Zhang Mo pulled the reins to change direction, squeezed her legs against the horse's belly, and the horse immediately broke into a gallop.

"Oh no, the horse is frightened!" Zhang Fei pretended to shout and rushed over to chase, and Xu Huang and Amina hurriedly followed.

Not far away, Lu Bu saw the figure running to the left, abandoned Cao Ren and the others, and turned around to chase after him.

Cao Cao had no idea that Zhang Mo and Zhang Fei knew each other, and he had no suspicions. But when he saw that Lu Bu had discovered Zhang Mo, he couldn't help but feel anxious. However, he was some distance away from them at this time, and was afraid of Lu Bu's martial arts. No matter how anxious he was, he could do nothing but watch Zhang Mo being caught by Lu Bu on his horse.

"You thief, let me go!" Zhang Fei pointed his spear at Lu Bu and shouted angrily. Xu Huang also pretended to pick up the axe and was about to go up and snatch the man away. Some nearby soldiers also followed and surrounded him.

Lu Bu swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji and killed the soldiers blocking the way in front of him with a few swings. With another swing, he knocked Zhang Fei's spear away and fled backwards with Zhang Mo. Zhang Fei could only curse helplessly and stopped to pick up the weapon that fell on the ground.

At this time, Yuan Shao also discovered that Zhang Mo had been abducted. He was confused and anxious, "Why did that fellow Lu Bu abduct you?"

Cao Cao wanted to tell him that Zhang Mo was a woman, but after a moment's hesitation, he swallowed his words and said, "Who knows what Lu Bu is up to?"

Looking at the figures of Lu Bu and Zhang Mo walking away, Cao Cao was silently worried about Zhang Mo. This time Lu Bu found her in the enemy camp, and she would have a hard time explaining herself when she returned. Perhaps even Situ Wang would be implicated. He didn't know how much Lu Bu loved her and whether he would make things difficult for her.

Judging from how Lu Bu protected the palace last time, Amo's life may not be in danger, but her innocence may be at risk.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but glare at Zhang Fei, who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. Zhang Fei covered the bleeding wound on his shoulder, indicating that he was injured and had really tried his best.

The allied forces were thrown into chaos by the killing. Zhang Liao led his troops in pursuit for a while, and only when they reached the outskirts of Xingyang City did he reluctantly gather his troops and return to Sishui Pass.

In this battle, Lu Bu killed more than 8,000 coalition soldiers at the cost of more than 500 cavalrymen, and also destroyed all the siege equipment. The coalition soldiers were already divided, and after suffering this heavy blow, they retreated to Xingyang City and dared not show their heads again. The two sides were deadlocked again.

While Lu Bu and Yuan Shao were fighting outside the city of Xingyang, Xu Rong found an opportunity to cross the river and repelled Wang Kuang's troops who had been eyeing the city covetously. At this point, the threat to Luoyang in the north was completely eliminated, and there was almost nothing to worry about in the east. The only one left was Sun Jian in the south.

Sun Jian was good at fighting, and sending Hua Xiong to repel him might just lead to the same mistake as Hu Zhen. So Lu Bu prepared to transfer Xu Rong. However, before Xu Rong could leave, news came from the south that Sun Jian pretended to attack Yique Pass while actually attacking Dagu Pass. Dagu Pass was broken, and Sun Jian's 30,000 troops had already entered Luoyang.

Although Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo, it was located on the main road leading to Guanxi. Sun Jian's troops stationed in Luoyang were equivalent to cutting off the retreat of Lu Bu and others. On the contrary, if the coalition forces outside Sishui Pass still did not take any action, Sun Jian would be trapped in a situation of being surrounded on three sides.

Therefore, after learning that Sun Jian occupied Luoyang, Cao Cao immediately suggested dividing the troops and advancing westward. The main force would continue to harass Lu Bu at Sishui Pass, and then send a team to bypass Yingchuan and station troops outside Xuanyuan Pass to hold back Duan Wei's army. Then Dong Zhuo's army would have almost no available mobile forces, and Sun Jian could kill all the way to Chang'an.

As for Li Jue who was stationed in Minchi, he also needed to guard against the Baibo Army in Hedong and had no time to stop Sun Jian.

Cao Cao's proposal did not make the princes of Xingyang fight to the death, so everyone naturally agreed. Therefore, on the day they received the news, the brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao led their troops to Xuanyuan Pass.

…………

"This is a bit tricky!" At Sishui Pass, Lu Bu couldn't help but frown after listening to the reports from various sources.

Sun Jian's capture of Dagu Pass was really beyond Lu Bu's expectations. The originally good situation was reversed because Sun Jian entered Luoyang, and the coalition forces outside the pass were ready to move again.

"It's indeed tricky. Now if we allocate 2,000 men from here, plus the soldiers who escaped from Dagu Pass and Yique Pass, there are only 4,000 men left. Sun Jian only needs to leave a small number of men to guard Hangu Pass to block our army's way, and the others can kill their way to Chang'an. There are still tens of thousands of coalition forces outside Sishui Pass. If we transfer too many troops to pursue Sun Jian, Sishui Pass may be lost. At that time, tens of thousands of coalition forces will pour in, and the situation will be even worse." Zhang Liao said.

Hua Xiong lowered his head in guilt, "I am guilty!"

At this time, Lu Bu was indeed a little disappointed with Hua Xiong. Hu Zhen was defeated by Sun Jian because he led his troops out of the city, but Hua Xiong was guarding the pass and was actually defeated by Sun Jian. He was fooled by a simple feint to the east and attack in the west. A person with such a straightforward mind is only suitable for leading a charge in the future, and it is difficult for him to lead an army alone.

However, it was pointless to pursue Hua Xiong's fault now. Lu Bu said, "I will apologize to the lord myself when I return to Chang'an. For now, the most important thing is to deal with Sun Jian."

"Sun Jian is determined to attack. If there were sufficient food and fodder, he would surely march towards Chang'an. Then we would be completely defeated in this battle."

In the dream, Sun Jian did not attack Chang'an, but now things are a little different. Lu Bu is not sure whether Sun Jian will continue to march westward.

"Mr. Wenhe, do you have any ideas?" Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu who was sitting in the lower left position.

Jia Xu asked, "General, if you say that there is enough food and grass, what if there is a shortage?"
