Bian Zhang was dumbfounded when he saw Lu Bu suddenly explode like a monster.

"Quick! Stop him, stop him!" He reacted, shouted, and turned his horse around to escape.

However, he was surrounded by his own soldiers, so it was impossible for him to escape so easily. After Lu Bu killed two guards beside Bian Zhang in succession with his Fang Tian Hua Ji, the tip of the halberd slashed horizontally, and Bian Zhang's head soared into the sky, and the blood in his arteries spurted out like a fountain.

Lu Bu rode up on his horse, stretched out his long arm, and the flying head landed accurately in his hand.

After killing Bian Zhang, he chopped down the general's flag next to him with his halberd. Holding Bian Zhang's head in one hand, he raised his halberd in the other and charged into the cavalry in front that was still chasing the infantry.

Blood spread under his feet, flesh and blood flew around him, and he looked like he had been fished out of a pool of blood, covered in blood and murderous aura, making people afraid to see him.

However, what others did not know was that Lu Bu was already at the end of his strength at this time. After suddenly bursting out and killing Bian Zhang, he felt as if all his strength was being drained away. In the end, he chased those cavalrymen again, only forcing himself to muster a little bit of strength in order to intimidate the nearby Qiang soldiers. Now he could hardly even wield his weapon.

Lu Bu held on and rode his horse towards the infantry formation. He felt weak in his heart, but his face still had a fierce murderous look. The Qiang soldiers subconsciously avoided him, which saved his life temporarily.

Hua Xiong was completely stunned. It took him a while to recover from Lu Bu's terrifying fighting power. Seeing that Bian Zhang's flag had fallen, he shouted, "Bian Zhang is dead! Why don't you surrender immediately!"

"Bian Zhang is dead! Why don't you surrender quickly!" everyone shouted.

The Qiang cavalry who were chasing the infantry looked back and found that the commander's flag was gone. Not far away from them, a bloody man was rushing towards them with a head in his hand, and many of his companions behind him had already begun to retreat.

Seeing that no Qiang people were rushing towards them from behind, the young general who had just formed the battle formation hurriedly ordered his infantrymen to change their formation. The originally horizontal row of chevaux de frise instantly changed direction. The shieldmen were still in the front, but the spearmen retreated to the back. Some of the archers who had gathered began to shoot arrows at the Qiang cavalry.

As they changed their formation, Lu Bu finally arrived behind it. He suddenly relaxed his strong breath, and his Fang Tian Hua Ji fell to the ground with a clang.

The Qiang cavalry who were charging in the front had their retreat blocked. Behind them was the infantry archery formation, and in front of them was Hua Xiong's Xiliang cavalry. After charging and fighting for a while, only half of the more than 2,000 people escaped through the aisle next to the infantry formation, and the rest were shot to death.

Hua Xiong rode his horse to Lu Bu's side, looking at him with eyes full of admiration. "Fengxian, you are too powerful. His mother is simply not human. Especially those sudden and powerful blows at the end. I was stunned. Those Qiang soldiers were like that under your command. What's the saying..."

Hua Xiong scratched his head and thought for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Right, it's called a mantis trying to stop a chariot. You're just like the wheel. I think you've chopped off Zhang's head before he can even react..."

Lu Bu looked at the chattering Hua Xiong speechlessly. In his dream, this guy died early and he didn't have much interaction with him. He didn't expect that Hua Xiong, who was known as the strongest man in Xiliang, was actually a chatterbox.

He threw the head in his hand to Hua Xiong, dismounted, and sat on the ground to rest.

Originally, he thought that even though his strength had been improved by the immortal, his physical strength would remain the same as before. However, after half a day of continuous fighting today, he discovered that if he exerted too much force, his physical strength would drop rapidly.

In fact, he had noticed this when he was in Wuyuan County. After knocking down the rolling stones in Jifengdao, he killed the Hu people and Yang Chuo and others in succession. He felt very tired when he came out of the military camp, but at that time he was thinking about his family and did not think much about it.

The two battles today seemed fierce, but in fact they did not last too long. If it were in the past, with the Red Hare, he would be able to kill the main general in the midst of thousands of troops without using any superhuman strength, but it would just take a little longer. After such a fight, he would at most feel a little tired, but he would never be unable to even lift a weapon.

It seems that in the future, unless his life is at stake, he can no longer use inhuman strength casually. Otherwise, if his strength is suddenly lost, an ordinary soldier can take his life. Today was too dangerous.

Lu Bu rested for a while and asked someone to find the young general who had just formed the formation.

"May I ask the young general's name?" Lu Bu, still sitting on the ground, looked up at the young general and asked.

If he remembered correctly, Gao Shun who followed him was a small garrison commander in the Northern Army. This infantry unit was the Luoyang soldiers. He had a feeling that this person might be Gao Shun.

The young general was about twenty years old, with a square face. He clasped his fists respectfully and saluted, "I am General Gao Shun, honored to meet you, General!"

It really is Gao Shun!

Lu Bu was delighted and quickly stood up, holding up his arms. "General Gao, please excuse me. I'm Lu Bu, courtesy name Fengxian. I'm a commoner, not a general."

He couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. "Just now, I saw the young general forming a battle formation to resist the enemy in the chaotic army. I admire him very much. I wonder if I can make friends with the young general?"

To be honest, if Gao Shun had not formed a battle formation here today, he would have been alone in the midst of the Qiang soldiers and would have been dead.

Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu in some surprise. He only formed a small formation to resist the enemy. How could he match Lu Bu's bravery in killing the enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops? Moreover, if he had not helped to gather the soldiers to form a battle array, his small formation would have been trampled by the cavalry. He should admire him.

"I am not a small general, but a garrison commander..."

Gao Shun paused for a moment and said, "Fengxian is the true hero. I am grateful for your respect. I am willing to make you my friend."

"Good! Good! It's more satisfying to meet Zi Yan today than to kill Zhang over there!" Lu Bu laughed.

"How did Fengxian know my courtesy name?"

Gao Shun's serious face was full of confusion. He had just introduced himself, and the other party looked at him as if he were a close friend who had met again after a long time. His attitude was a bit too enthusiastic.

Lu Bu opened his mouth, unsure how to explain, and said perfunctorily, "This... I'll tell you in detail later. After we clean up the battlefield today, we'll set off back to Anding. I'll look for you in the camp then."

After saying this, he bowed to Gao Shun, mounted his horse, and went back to see Dong Zhuo with Hua Xiong and others.

Dong Zhuo had originally thought that Lu Bu's victory over the rebels was a feat, but he unexpectedly brought back the head of the rebel leader. This surprise made him so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He shook Lu Bu's hand and praised him non-stop, "Fengxian is truly a hero of the time. No one in the world can compare to him! I, the general, am so fortunate to have Fengxian's help today! Tell me, tell me quickly, what reward do you want? Just ask, and I will help you get it."

"General, you are too kind! I am very grateful to you for giving me this opportunity to redeem myself. I dare not ask for any reward." Lu Bu said modestly.

"No, I must reward you. Think about it slowly these few days. When we return to Mei County, I will reward you generously."

Dong Zhuo looked heroic and cheerful.

In this battle, about 4,000 enemies were killed and more than 3,000 soldiers surrendered. In addition, the leaders of the two rebel factions were killed, which greatly dampened the morale of the rebels. This was a huge achievement.

The most crucial thing is that among the six groups of troops sent by Zhang Wen, only his group returned with a great victory. In comparison, this contribution is more prominent, and all this was brought to him by Lu Bu. So no matter what the reason was for Lu Bu to kill Yang Chuo, such a powerful person must be won over.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo admired him so much, Lu Bu felt relieved. The merit of this battle could completely offset the crime of killing Yang Chuo. He could finally get rid of his status as a criminal and start his grand cause.

If he wanted to replace Niu Fu, Hu Zhen and others to control the Xiliang Army, he could not do it alone, he had to have someone to help him.

Now there are only Wei Xu and Li Su around Lu Bu. Wei Xu is not good in other aspects except loyalty, and his temper is impulsive, so he is really not useful.

Although Li Su is good at martial arts, he has no opinions of his own and his abilities are average. It is difficult for such a person to be the commander of an army.

Gao Shun is the best helper God has given him. He is the best choice in terms of loyalty and ability. Meeting Gao Shun on the battlefield today shows that God is blessing him.
