I did it all for the Han Dynasty!

Chapter 461 You've brought your wife!

Looking at Lü Bu, who now seemed like a god descended from heaven, the Wuhuan cavalrymen all trembled with fear.

Unbelievable.

When the Wuhuan cavalry faced Lü Bu, they felt a sense of powerlessness and fear, as if they were facing a ferocious beast with their bare hands.

The Wuhuan chieftain stared blankly at Lü Bu's divine figure as he flew out of the Red Mountain, his warhorse flashing like fire, and couldn't help but think of the current Wuhuan Chanyu, Tadun.

But he soon discovered that this was not the case.

If Tadun was a wolf king who could lead his pack to roam freely across the grasslands, then Lu Bu is now a fierce tiger revealing his magnificent fur in the jungle!
"How did Lü Bu end up here? Wasn't he supposed to be in Fushan?"

The Wuhuan leader looked in panic toward the lowlands at the edge of the valley, where the ground was trembling and loose stones were falling from both sides of the mountain, rolling down and gathering...

Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Cao Xing, and other Bingzhou wolf cavalry under Lü Bu charged in from behind the mountain!

Hou Cheng couldn't help but look enviously at Red Hare, which was riding under Lü Bu's horse: "It runs really fast!"

Song Xian laughed heartily from the side: "Red Hare is the only one of its kind in the world, so don't even think about it! But it has given birth to many foals, so you can choose one."

"When will it be?"

Hou Cheng withdrew his envious gaze.

"I've heard there's a way to get your hands on the legendary Ferghana horse. I'll see if I can get one!"

Haha! You're dreaming!

Cao Xing, who was standing to the side, was a quiet and reserved man. He squeezed his legs tightly around the horse and then used his amazing waist and abdominal strength to stand up directly from the warhorse and start picking off the Wuhuan cavalry!

"The general is really back?"

When Chen Gong saw the cavalry, he was both excited and flustered.

"If the General returns, what about the north? Won't Yuan Tan's army be able to attack directly from the north?"

Zhuge Liang stood atop the mountain, holding his feather fan to his chest.

"Doesn't Gongtai understand?"

"Since Yuan Tan chose to launch a surprise attack on Yexian from Yashan, it means that he has basically given up on using the soldiers and civilians in Jiaodong as bait to wait for His Majesty to lead the army to rescue them."

"In that case, whether or not the north is defended is no longer important."

Zhuge Liang's gaze was leisurely, looking only towards Langya in the west, no longer paying attention to the battle at hand.

"Our army currently only needs to gather strength and await His Majesty's reinforcements before we can decisively defeat Yuan Tan!"

When Yuan Tan was ready and waiting for Liu Miao to fall into his trap, Liu Miao chose not to come.

Now that Yuan Shao has abandoned his plan and intends to accept that Liu Miao will not come, do you think Liu Miao will not come?

Chen Gong also headed towards Langya.

Although he could not see any reinforcements or Liu Miao at this moment.

But since he had promised Zhuge Liang that he believed Liu Miao would come to the rescue, he would not question it anymore!
In comparison…

Chen Gong looked at Lü Bu with a strange expression.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Chen Gong felt that Lü Bu, who was riding Red Hare at this moment, seemed to have become even more majestic and powerful.

The battle at the foot of the mountain ended quickly.

The Wuhuan were fierce, but they lacked military tactics.

When the enemy is weaker than them, they are brave enough to make any enemy feel the madness of the Wuhuan.

When the enemy is stronger than them, they become so cowardly that no enemy can catch up with them...

Upon seeing the cavalry behind Lü Bu, the Wuhuan leader dared not utter a single word and quickly turned and left.

"Damn! The adults ran so fast!"

"Otherwise, how could they be adults!"

"..."

The Wuhuan cavalry scattered and fled, but Lu Bu immediately spotted the Wuhuan leader at the forefront who was preparing to escape.

Lü Bu excelled in border regions.

During the period when it grew up, the Han Dynasty was in decline and the Xianbei forces were rampant.

When Lü Bu was young, he had a lot of dealings with the Xianbei, who were also of Donghu origin. Now, seeing the Wuhuan fleeing, he was not displeased at all; on the contrary, he grinned from ear to ear.

"Got you!"

With a gentle pull of his calloused left hand on the reins, the once leisurely Red Hare's eyes immediately sharpened.

Beneath the crimson fur, countless solid chunks of flesh suddenly burst forth from the previously calm skin surface, revealing veins as thick as fingers.

With its four hooves running and its blood vessels contracting and relaxing, Red Hare had already reached the speed of a thoroughbred in just two or three breaths!

"Damn it! What the hell is that monster?!"

Suddenly, a Wuhuan cavalryman caught a glimpse of Lü Bu out of the corner of his eye and exclaimed in surprise!
Humans are beasts.

Horses are the wildest of the wild!
Especially when Red Hare, with its lightning-fast speed, overtook one warhorse after another running at full speed, the mediocrity of the other warhorses was even more apparent.

"Bah!"

After closing the distance to about a hundred paces, Lü Bu let out a loud shout!
The sound was like a tiger roaring through the forest! Nearby Wuhuan cavalrymen inexplicably fell off their horses, and when they got up and saw what was happening, they were even more terrified!

Lu Bu actually managed to kill the rest of his warhorses with his shockwave! Their heart meridians were severed!
The Wuhuan leader in front was also momentarily stunned by the sound. In that instant, an arrow pierced the back of his head with perfect accuracy, and then something sticky and white roared out from between his eyebrows and stuck to the back of his warhorse.

"grown ups!"

A small number of Wuhuan cavalrymen, upon witnessing the death of their Wuhuan leader, were filled with grief and indignation and chose not to flee, intending instead to confront Lü Bu head-on.

Upon seeing this, Lü Bu merely smiled disdainfully, then discarded his bow and arrows, intending to spur his horse forward.

But at that moment, a gleaming silver spear blocked Lü Bu's path.

Lu Bu glanced to the side and saw Zhao Yun, covered in blood, standing beside him. "General, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to me."

Lu Bu looked him up and down: "Are you sure you can do it?"

Zhao Yun gripped his spear tightly, spurred his horse, and charged forward.

"This blood belongs to the Wuhuan people."

Seeing Zhao Yun's unstoppable momentum, Lü Bu made a "tsk tsk" sound.

"Liu Bei has acquired another excellent general!"

After watching Zhao Yun leave, Lü Bu was happy to have some free time. He turned his horse around and rode over to Zhuge Liang and Chen Gong.

"General, general!"

Chen Gong's eyes were brimming with tears; he had been standing on the mountaintop for so long that his tongue was slurring.

"Thank you for your hard work, Gongtai!"

Lu Bu then tossed a sheepskin bag from his robes: "Have a sip of this! This will definitely keep you warm!"

Chen Gong was overjoyed and quickly took it, opening it as he asked, "General, you actually carry wine with you?"

Lü Bu laughed loudly: "This is even better than wine!"

Chen Gong took a small sip with some skepticism, his expression turning strange again: "Milk tea?"

"Great! Haha!"

Lu Bu leaped off his horse, and his imposing aura caused the mountains to tremble three times, groaning under the weight of his weight.

He approached Zhuge Liang and was somewhat surprised to see that Zhuge Liang, who was more than a head shorter than him, was staring directly at him without any fear.

"Zhuge Kongming, according to your statement, I have already withdrawn all my troops from Fushan."

"Yuan's army could rush in from the north at any time. If Yuan's army doesn't come from the west, then all these civilians will be in your hands!"

Zhuge Liang did not answer directly, but instead asked Lü Bu—

"Does the General trust His Majesty?"

"..."

If it weren't for Liu Miao, Lü Bu would have been killed several times! So how could he not trust Liu Miao?
However, the feeling of being outmaneuvered by Zhuge Liang still left Lü Bu somewhat displeased, as he hadn't suffered a defeat in many years.

"Hmph! He's my own father-in-law and son-in-law, why wouldn't I trust him?"

Lu Bu raised his arm, and the heavy halberd was held horizontally in the air, pointing motionless at Yexian.

"I'm just reminding you that there are still people there."

"A soldier's duty is to protect the country! Everything else is nonsense! If many people die because of you, even if you were sent by His Majesty, I would still kill you!"

Chen Gong, who was sipping his milk tea, was unaware that Lü Bu and Zhuge Liang had suddenly become tense. He quickly stepped in to act as a peacemaker: "General! Don't worry! Kongming's wisdom is beyond question."

Lu Bu snorted.

“Back when I was in the border regions, I saw countless self-righteous scholars and literati.”

"It's these people who, every time they think about achieving the same feats as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, keep shouting about sealing the wolf's lair and inscribing the Yanran Mountain, but in the end, it's these people who bring the most suffering to the people!"

"That's why I really hate people like that!"

Before Chen Gong could think of a way to dissuade him, Zhuge Liang said, "General, please rest assured."

Zhuge Liang's narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"The general doesn't actually dislike scholars; he just cares about the common people."

"Liang would never do anything that harms the people."

Lu Bu snorted again, but this time it was noticeably softer.

"What do you mean by feeling sorry for the people? What is there to feel sorry for about the people?"

"I just don't want those bastards like the Wuhuan or Xianbei to continue to treat the lives of Han people like dirt!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Lü Bu suddenly glared at him again: "Finished drinking?"

Chen Gong reluctantly pulled his mouth out of the sheepskin belt: "I don't usually like sweet drinks, I don't know why I finished it all this time, hehe..."

"..."

Lu Bu slapped his forehead!
There's something else he didn't mention—

Milk tea is much more expensive than alcohol! And he only has half a bottle left!

"You kid..."

Jimo.

At this time, Yuan Tan also received news that Lü Bu had withdrawn his troops from Fushan.

This news delighted Yuan Tan!
If Lü Bu doesn't block Fushan, wouldn't Yuan's army be able to march straight to Yexian at any time and completely pacify Qingzhou?
Yuan Tan has decided to change his strategy.

Once Qingzhou is pacified, we will immediately launch an attack on Langya from several directions! We will strive to open up the passage to Pengcheng!

However, just as Yuan Tan was devising his tactics, scouts hurriedly arrived from the west.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Something terrible has happened! Cavalry has appeared in the west! Han cavalry! And they even have the Emperor's dragon banner!"

The scout was panting heavily and nearly fainted.

"And also, the Han army has sent word that the Emperor has brought a gift for Your Highness!"

Yuan Tan was stunned by the sudden news and unable to respond, so Tadun Chanyu kindly asked, "What gift?"

"They say...it's His Highness's first wife, Lady Wen!"
