The Three Kingdoms: If you don't have money to buy an official position, you can only be the em

Chapter 51: Before the fight, everyone thought they could kill Lu Bu

While Jiang Cheng was making a bet with Kong Rong, Dong Zhuo also led 300,000 Xiliang troops to Hulao Pass.

"We don't take them seriously at all. The only troublesome one is Jiang Cheng. He didn't bring his troops here this time, and his generals didn't go into battle. It's obvious that he doesn't want to be my enemy." Dong Zhuo said.

Jiang Cheng's performance does not seem like that of a qualified prince.

Three years ago, he had every chance to capture the capital in one fell swoop and completely overthrow the Han Dynasty - no matter how chaotic the situation would be with the separatist regimes of the princes, at least the capital could be taken.

In the eyes of many princes, whether Jiang Cheng could take it or not was because he was too "stupid".

He abides by the rules of "descendants of Shennong", does not want to take the world by himself, and is looking for a suitable "wise leader".

Therefore, whether it was Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, or even Dong Zhuo, they all had some thoughts in their hearts, thinking that they were the wise leaders who could establish a new dynasty and might get the support of Jiang Cheng.

Only Cao Cao and Liu Bei knew that Jiang Cheng knew that he was not well-equipped and therefore did not take any risks.

Why didn't Jiang Cheng fight?

In that case, even if he took Kyoto, all other places would not belong to him. The noble families were still there, and the real enemy would not be seriously injured. Instead, he would be attacked by all the princes in the world. What was the point?

What he wants to be is Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Yuan, not Li Chuangwang!

But in Dong Zhuo's eyes, Jiang Cheng did not want the world and was following his ancestors' teachings to find a wise leader.

"My son, you go and challenge them and lure out the eighteen princes. Then we will rush forward together and destroy them all!" Dong Zhuo said.

He did not take the Eighteen Princes seriously, thinking they were nothing more than chickens and dogs that could be destroyed with a wave of his hand.

"Please rest assured, foster father. I will definitely take the heads of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and present them to you!" Lu Bu said as he rode forward alone and arrived at the foot of Hulao Pass.

Looking at the checkpoint ahead.

He cursed loudly: "Who dares to fight me?"

Why do you think he has the confidence to challenge someone?

A hero of the level is someone who cannot be killed even if surrounded by thousands of people. As long as there is no one of the same level on the opposite side, if there are not enough people, they will die.

Even if he led several thousand soldiers, he could not do anything with the men and horses, but he could kill the main general.

Shock the enemy and make them collapse without any attack.

Unless a large army attacks and tens of thousands of people rush forward - and this is exactly Dong Zhuo's purpose, he is not afraid of the enemy coming out, he is only afraid that the enemy will not come out.

The Xiliang cavalry were not good at attacking cities, and the imperial court's original siege equipment was also destroyed by Jiang Cheng.

Only by luring the enemy out into the wilderness can we unleash our power.

Of course, Dong Zhuo had some things, but not much: because he was afraid of Lu Bu, he only brought the Xiliang Army on this trip, but not the Bingzhou Army, and only brought Lu Bu, a commander without any troops.

He doesn't even have any personal soldiers.

He did not bring the two great generals Li Jue and Guo Si, and Zhang Liao was also left in the capital.

Watched by son-in-law Niu Fu.

Such a split does avoid the possibility of rebellion by subordinates, but it also weakens one's own combat effectiveness. It is actually a very stupid approach - if Zhang Liao was here, how could Lu Bu be beaten and chased by Liu, Guan and Zhang?

With eight hundred soldiers in the Formation of Trap, how could the Xiliang Army collapse at the first blow?
Let’s get back to the topic. Let’s get back to the present.

After Lu Bu challenged him, Kong Rong immediately requested a fight and asked his general Han Yong to go out and kill Lu Bu.

But before Han Yong could leave the city, someone had already left, it was Liu Sandao. He had long wanted to kill Lu Bu with his sword and take the Red Hare as his own mount, but he was worried that if he went out too late, it would be taken away.

So he left the city without asking for a fight and rushed towards Lu Bu.

The big knife was raised.

In the first round, just go up and hit three times with a single blow.

It's true that Liu Sandao's strength is quite strong, and the first three strikes are also quite mysterious, taking the road of explosion. His extraordinary performance made Lu Bu look sideways, and he asked in surprise: "Swordsmanship to kill a general?"

After saying that, he waved his Fang Tian Hua Ji and fought back seriously.

As a result, the next moment, he found that Liu Sandao's fourth move had no structure and his strength was rapidly decreasing.

In a moment of shock, Fang Tian Hua Ji went straight to the opponent's forehead and cut him off on the spot. He couldn't help but look disappointed.

"I thought I could have a good fight, but it turns out I only practiced the 'first three swords'. What a waste!"

At the same time, on the other side, the princes who were watching the battle were also confused.

Everyone saw how powerful Liu Sandao's "three swords" were in the competition, but they didn't expect that after three swords, Lu Bu didn't feel any effort at all. He was beheaded as soon as he used the fourth sword.

Just rubbish.

"This, this..."

Tao Qian looked at the princes and then at his own men, those generals who were not even as good as Liu Sandao, and suddenly realized that "there are also gaps among the princes."

Feeling a little uncomfortable.

As for Kong Rong, he laughed and said, "Some people can win the military competition because they only have the ability to win the competition, while some people can win because they only participated in the military competition!"

He is imitating Jiang Cheng's way of speaking.

He seemed quite confident in his words, believing that his powerful general Han Yong could win.

On the other side, the second person to appear was the brave general Wang Chong from Beihai.

Gongsun Zan, his lord, was also very confident at this time. He mocked Tao Qian, saying, "Some people only learn three moves. When fighting against weaker opponents, it's hard to tell who's better. But when facing Lu Bu, whether you have learned all the martial arts or not, there's a big difference!"

This made Liu Bei, who was not far away, frown.

He turned around and asked his second brother Guan Yu: "Yunchang, you also practiced the 'Three Swords to Cut the Generals', what do you think of Liu Sandao?"

In response, Guan Yu shook his head.

"The Three Swords of Beheading Generals was created by a general named Yang in the late Shang Dynasty. Its purpose is to allow generals who have reached the extreme in all aspects to break their own shackles and exert stronger power. It is not to let a weakling rely on three swords to compete with a strong man for a short time - if he attaches too much importance to the three swords, Liu Sandao will be doomed!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly understood.

"If I go into battle, I will kill Lu Bu!" Guan Yu said again.

Hearing this, Zhang Fei immediately said: "No, second brother, you have already killed Hua Xiong, you have to leave this to me!"

Meanwhile, outside, Wang Chong had already met Lu Bu.

He is the same as Gongsun Zan.

It is also believed that Liu Sandao was able to become top-notch by relying on his "Three Swords to Kill a General". Within three swords, he can be on par with himself, but beyond three swords, he is just a waste.

So I'm not afraid at all.

With the desire to stand out and the longing for Red Hare, he went out of the city to meet Lu Bu.

And then...he was chopped down by the serious Lu Bu's Tianhuaji.

This time, Lu Bu was serious and used all his strength to perform a simple move called "Split Huashan Mountain". Wang Chong raised his weapon to block and also thought about counterattacking.

As a result, an unimaginable force was exerted and the weapon broke immediately.

And both the man and his horse were cut down by the halberd.

All the men and horses were divided into two sections.

"This……"

The princes all changed their expressions when they saw this. Guan Yu also showed a serious look on his face and said, "That fellow Lu Bu actually knows how to 'behead a general with three swords' and has even integrated it into his Fang Tian Hua Ji!"

Han Yong, on the other hand, thinks he is the final boss and is not on the same level as the other two.

Only then did he slowly leave the city.

He raised his head and said, "It is said that the Fang Tian Hua Ji can be integrated with the techniques of other weapons. I always thought it was nonsense, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today. The battle between you and me will become a legend and be passed down for hundreds of years!"

After saying that, he rushed over.

He used a move from among the various martial arts he had practiced hard, specifically designed to break the "Three Swords to Kill the General" attack.
