Transmigrating to the Three Kingdoms as Lu Bu: I Have a Pseudo-Apocalypse System

In the evening, Lü Bu's army arrived at Yong'an.

Wang Yi had already received the news and led the city's officials and military commanders out of the city to welcome them.

When Wang Yi saw the military bearing of Lü Bu's army, his reaction was similar to Wei Kai's—first, he was shocked by the speed at which the army could travel a hundred miles a day without any logistical support convoys, and then he was impressed by the army's disciplined military bearing.

"This humble general, Wang Yi, the Prefect of Hedong and General of Anbei, pays his respects to the Great General!" Wang Yi knelt on one knee, giving a military salute.

Lü Bu dismounted and helped him up: "General Wang, please rise. How is the situation on the northern front?"

Wang Yi rose, his expression grave: "Reporting to the General, the main force of the Xianbei, numbering over ten thousand cavalry, has broken through Yanmen Pass and is currently plundering Taiyuan County. In Xihe County, the Xianbei rebels number about three thousand cavalry, operating in the Lishi and Gaolang areas. The three counties in the northern part of our county—Beiqu, Puzi, and Yong'an—are currently relatively stable. I have ordered each county to implement a scorched-earth policy, burning all grain and fodder within thirty li outside the city. Even if the barbarians come, they will not be able to plunder anything."

"Well done," Lü Bu praised. "Is there enough food in the city?"

"We can hold out for another month or so, but the number of refugees is increasing. More than 10,000 people have fled south from Bingzhou, putting immense pressure on our food supply..."

Lü Bu smiled and said, "It's alright. I'll leave you 50,000 shi of grain and 100,000 guan of cash. In addition, I'll allocate 2,000 sets of winter clothing and 1,000 sets of leather armor to arm the county troops and resettle the displaced people."

Wang Yi was both surprised and delighted, but then asked in confusion, "General, where are the provisions?"

Lu Bu didn't explain, and simply told him to lead the way to the county treasury.

Upon arriving at the county treasury, in front of a group of officials, he casually took out mountains of grain, money boxes, clothing, and armor.

Everyone present, including Wang Yi, was completely stunned.

"This, is this the legendary divine granary bestowed by heaven by the Great General?" Wang Yi murmured, the last trace of doubt in his heart completely dissipating.

With such godlike abilities, if Lü Bu wasn't destined by heaven, then who was?

That evening, Lü Bu had a long talk with Wang Yi at the county government office, learned about the situation on the northern front in detail, and instructed him to guard the northeastern border of Hebei and at the same time receive and resettle the displaced people.

"General, rest assured, I will defend Hedong and prevent the Hu people from advancing south!" Wang Yi solemnly promised.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, before dawn, Lü Bu's army left Yong'an and continued northward.

After passing Yong'an, we entered the territory of Bingzhou.

Bingzhou, the hometown of Lü Bu.

As he rode on horseback, looking at the desolate fields, abandoned villages, and the occasional refugees fleeing south, Lü Bu felt a mix of emotions.

Although the current Lü Bu is a time traveler and doesn't have the same deep feelings for his hometown as the original owner, as a fellow Chinese, he still feels angry when he sees his compatriots being ravaged by barbarians.

"General, Xihe Commandery is on the left." Zhang Liao spurred his horse forward. "Yufuluo should be entering Xihe Commandery soon. Should we send troops to assist him?"

Lü Bu shook his head: "Regardless of Xihe, as long as Yufuluo can hold off the Qubei rebels and prevent them from continuing south to Hedong Commandery, that's enough. Our target is the main force of the Xianbei leader Kebineng. Order the entire army to speed up."

"promise!"

The army continued its northward march.

The advantage of one person riding two horses was fully demonstrated at this moment—the warhorses were rotated for riding, maintaining a high speed at all times.

As for Lü Bu himself, after entering Taiyuan County, he took Cheng Lian and fifty personal guards and left the main force to set off first.

He had one thing to do—to eliminate the Xianbei scouts.

On the system panel, the Perception attribute has reached 110 points, which is an ability far beyond human limits. After all, each point of attribute improvement requires 10 skill points.

Lü Bu's vision, hearing, smell, and intuition were all incredibly sharp.

After traveling about ten miles away from the main force, Lü Bu sensed that the terrain ahead might conceal scouts, so he ordered his personal guards to stop.

"You search along the main road, I'll go along the side roads to investigate," he instructed Cheng Lian.

"General, it's too dangerous for you to be alone..." Cheng Lian said anxiously.

Lü Bu smiled and patted the bow and arrows at his waist: "The ones in danger are the Hu people."

After saying that, he spurred his horse, and Red Hare shot off like an arrow, disappearing into the end of the road in the blink of an eye.

Lü Bu specifically chose to travel along narrow paths, mountain trails, and woodlands.

He knew that Xianbei scouts would definitely be scattered in these places, monitoring all the passages.

Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour after leaving his personal guard, he spotted the first group of Xianbei scouts.

Those were three Xianbei cavalrymen, hiding in the woods on the hillside, peeking out towards the main road to the south—the place where Lü Bu's army was about to pass.

At a distance of about three hundred paces, with trees in between providing cover, it would be impossible for an ordinary archer to hit the target.

But Lü Bu was no ordinary person.

He reined in his horse, took the powerful bow with a ten-stone weight from his back, nocked an arrow, and drew the bow.

The bow is fully drawn.

"Whoosh—!"

An arrow was fired, piercing through the gaps in the trees, and accurately struck the throat of the first Xianbei scout.

The man fell off his horse without uttering a sound.

The other two were shocked and immediately tried to turn and run away, but the second and third arrows were already at them.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Two more people fell from their horses.

The entire process took less than three breaths. All three Xianbei scouts were killed, and none of them managed to escape to report back.

Lu Bu rode forward to examine the body.

All three were dressed in typical Xianbei attire, with fur coats and hats, carrying curved swords and bone arrows, and their horses were not particularly fine.

"A low-level zombie..." Lu Bu muttered to himself.

In the system's eyes, these were all zombies, and they dropped some basic items, which was better than nothing.

Without stopping, we continued onward.

For the next two hours, Lü Bu continued to search for and kill Xianbei scouts.

The second scout team, consisting of two Xianbei cavalrymen, was resting and drinking water by a small river when Lü Bu shot them both dead with arrows from two hundred paces away.

The third scout team, consisting of two Xianbei men, was squatting by the roadside eating dry rations when Lü Bu appeared directly behind them. With a swing of his halberd, both men's heads flew off.

Fourth team, fifth team...

Lu Bu's hunting efficiency is terrifyingly high.

His 110 points in perception allow him to easily spot hidden enemies, his 107 points in archery skills make him a crack shot, and his 107 points in reaction time allow him to always react correctly before his opponent.

Xianbei scouts were often killed by arrows before they even saw anyone.

By noon, Lü Bu had eliminated several scout teams, totaling seventeen men.

He returned to the main road, and Cheng Lian and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lü Bu was safe and sound.

"General, what's the situation?" Cheng Lian asked.

"We've cleared out more than ten scouts, and not one escaped," Lü Bu said calmly. "Send an order to Zhang Liao to speed up the army. I've already blinded the Xianbei; they're blind and deaf now."

"promise!"

Cheng Lian sent someone to deliver the order, while Lü Bu and his personal guards rested on the spot for a while and ate some dry rations.

During his break, Lü Bu opened the system panel and took a look.

I just killed more than ten Xianbei scouts and got a lot of loot—grain, beef jerky, mutton jerky, and a few decent scimitars.

Unfortunately, they were all low-level or mid-level zombies, so they didn't drop anything good.

But importantly, he cut off the Xianbei people's intelligence sources.

Kebineng had no idea that a Han army of 10,000 elite troops had already entered the territory of Taiyuan County in Bingzhou.
