That force actually made Lü Bu feel numb in his arms.
Looking in the direction in which the Spear was flying, I saw a familiar figure, and I couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Zhang Xiu! Why is it you?!"
The visitor is none other than Zhang Xiu!
Zhang Xiu rode up to Yuan Shu, took the Silver Spear that was stuck on the ground in his hand again, and looked at Lü Bu with an extremely sharp look.
"You can't kill him today!"
Hearing this, Lü Bu looked disdainfully.
Although Zhang Xiu is called Northern Lands Spear King, in his eyes, he is still a chicken and a dog.
He sneered and scolded, "Zhang Xiu kid, Son of Heaven once worshiped you Uncle Zhang Ji as General of Agile Cavalry, Marquis of Pingyang, you two uncles and nephews do not think about the mighty grace of God, but are planning to force the gods to rob Son of Heaven to ride in the chariot. Rebel, how do you live in this world? If I were you, I would behead myself and offer it to Son of Heaven to apologize."
Zhang Xiu was furious when he heard this. "Servant of Three Surnames, you are worthy of scolding me!"
"You don't know how to live or die, I will behead you today and dedicate them to Son of Heaven." Lü Bu shook Sky-Piercer Halberd in his hand, and the infiltrating murderous intention enveloped Zhang Xiu and Yuan Shu.
Just when he was about to kill Zhang Xiu, he suddenly heard the earth shaking.
Not far away, there was another army rushing towards this place in a mighty manner. Among them, Banner was erected with the word "Zhang" in black letters on a white background.
It was the army that Zhang Xiu took away from Wan City!
Zhang Xiu took Yuan Shu and Lü Bu to distance themselves, retreated to the front of the oncoming army, and said, "I have Eight Thousand Iron Cavalry here, how can you kill me!"
According to Lü Bu's character, he won't be afraid at all even when facing Eight Thousand Iron Cavalry.
Before leaving for the expedition, Chen Gong explained again and again.
He is the main force in the crusade against Yuan Shu. If he is surrounded by Iron Cavalry, if he makes a mistake, all the hard-won fruits will be swallowed by Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
Lü Bu turned pale when he thought that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were the same.
If Yuan Shao swallows Yuan Shu's territory, Son of Heaven really has no chance.
Sky-Piercer Halberd pointed directly at Yuan Shu, and Lü Bu shouted unwillingly, "Old Thief, keep your head safe, I will go to Shouchun to pick it up soon!"
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and left this place.
Zhang Xiu A hanging heart suddenly dropped.
Just now, he was really afraid that Lü Bu would rush over desperately. Although Eight Thousand Iron Cavalry could keep Lü Bu behind, his life might not be saved.
He turned to Yuan Shu and said, "Your Majesty mount your horse quickly, let's get out of here quickly!"
"Okay! Okay!" Yuan Shu has long been at a loss and just wants to escape back to Shouchun.
After Yuan Shu escaped, the battle across the river did not end and continued until the evening.
The casualties of his army exceeded Twenty Thousand, and the rest were either routed or captured, and Sixty Thousand Troops was basically wiped out.
In addition, five generals, Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun, Li Feng, and Le Jiu, were all killed in this battle, and no one survived.
Although the three-way coalition led by Lü Bu suffered casualties of seven to eight thousand people, this was undoubtedly a great victory.
The key to this victory lies in the morale gap between the two sides caused by Lü Bu's arrow, as well as the opportunities created by Great General, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, etc.
If not, I am afraid that even if this war can be won, at least 10,000 people will be killed or injured.
Within the South Bank of the Huai River, Central Army Camp.
Lü Bu is exchanging information on Battlefield with Chen Gong and Liu Bei.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou and Zhang Liao clean Battlefield.
Guan Yu and Gao Shun collect prisoners.
Zhang Fei led his troops to pursue and defeat Enemy Army and fled.
"Gongtai, why did Zhang Xiu rescue Yuan Shu?" Lü Bu really didn't understand Zhang Xiu's behavior.
If he hadn't arrived today with Eight Thousand Iron Cavalry, Yuan Shu would have been the dead soul under his halberd!
Chen Gong touched his beard, pondered for a moment and then said, "After Wan City defeated Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu was worried about retaliation, so he led his troops to surrender to Yuan Shu. It is not surprising that he appeared here. But why he wanted to save Yuan Shu, I can't figure it out for a while."
Chen Gong couldn't even understand it when he heard it. Lü Bu simply didn't bother to think about it. He just said regretfully, "Just a little bit, just a little bit, I can kill Pretender Emperor!"
Killing Pretender Emperor is such a great achievement.
Until then, will Yuan Shao still have the nerve to occupy the position of Grand General?
Liu Bei heard this and said with a smile, "General, there is no need to blame yourself. Today, Pretender Emperor was defeated in crossing the river. General should take the lead. Pretender Emperor is now A Solitary Ruler. What will happen even if he escapes? He is just Withered Bones in the Grave."
Today Lü Bu's shocking arrow against the Bank of the Huai River left an indelible impression in his heart, a hundred times more shocking than Shooting the Halberd at the Camp Gate's!
"It's different, it's different. How can I, the general, return to Your Majesty before he has completed his work?" Lü Bu shook his head and sighed, his brows full of sorrow.
If he cannot get the head of Pretender Emperor, his position as Grand General may be in doubt.
Lü Bu got angrier as he thought about it, and slapped Table with his palm. "If I had known this, that arrow should have been shot at Yuan Shu."
Seeing that Lü Bu was still immersed in regret, Chen Gong did not enlighten him. Instead, he was very happy that Lü Bu listened to his words and focused on protecting himself and did not rush into Eight Thousand Iron Cavalry to hunt down Yuan Shu.
He turned around and said to Liu Bei, "Please Governor send someone to pay attention to Zhang Xiu's movements and see where he wants to escape with Pretender Emperor."
"There is one more thing... Cao Cao led Fifty Thousand Troops and entered Yang Province via water. The target should be Shouchun. We must be vigilant."
Before Liu Bei could say anything, Lü Bu was furious. "Cao Thief actually wants to take credit too!"
Chapter 89 Everyone looks like Rebel
Lü Bu was furious and simply thought that Cao Cao was here to take the credit.
But Liu Bei has more to consider.
Cao Cao had been holding back until they defeated Yuan Shu and finally launched a decisive battle.
This is obviously an attempt to reap the benefits!
When the two sides meet, a big battle will inevitably occur.
In other words, Lü Bu showed off his might in today's battle, allowing them to achieve a great victory over Crossing the River Campaign at a relatively small cost.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, no matter whether they win or lose, they will be unable to compete with the Cao Army, who has just joined the battle and is still in its prime!
"In the battle with Yuan Shu, it was basically us who contributed. Now that Cao Cao is sending troops at this time, its purpose is self-evident."
Liu Bei's expression was ugly. It was really uncomfortable to feel like someone was picking up and snatching away the victory.
"In my opinion, it's not just Cao Cao. Sun Ce who occupies Jiangdong Six Commanderies is probably about to make a move as well."
Chen Gong sighed and said worriedly.
"Damn Cao Aman, damn Sun Ce, they are all Rebel, Traitor! And when Liu Biao, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he was indifferent. He really called himself Han House clansman in vain."
Lü Bu cursed loudly and was very angry. Now he looked like Rebel to everyone.
Although he doesn't understand the many twists and turns, he also knows that Cao Cao is coming here now to compete with him for credit!
I want to take away his great contribution in killing Pretender Emperor!
As for Sun Ce, he is ambitious and wants to seize territory. Like his father Sun Jian, he is not a loyal minister.
"Gongtai, we cannot let Cao Thief take the lead. Tomorrow the Japanese general will lead his troops to capture Pretender Emperor!"
Chen Gong can see that his family Lord is really anxious this time.
Liu Bei heard this and said, "No, Fengxian, we just experienced a big battle, we need to let Three Armies Soldiers rest for a while."
"If you rush forward greedily at this time, it will only make Three Armies exhausted. If you encounter Cao Cao's army, how can you fight against him?"
Lü Bu gritted his teeth and said, "Are you just sitting here now?"
Liu Bei said, "The Jiangdong area has long been occupied by Sun Ce, the Cao Cao army has advanced on the waterway, and the Huaibei area has been captured by us. Now Zhang Xiu and Yuan Shu can only shrink Shou County."
The war against Yuan has now progressed, and Yang Province has basically been completely defeated.
At the moment, the so-called Great Cheng Capital Shouchun and several surrounding Citiess have not been captured yet. Yuan Shu and the others have no place to escape except Shouchun.
"Lord, what Lord Liu said is true." Chen Gong nodded in agreement with Liu Bei's analysis, "Don't attack Shou County too hastily."
"Shou County is a place where Yuan Shu is trapped. If we attack first, we will definitely encounter a fierce counterattack, causing heavy casualties to the army. In the end, we are afraid that Cao Cao and Sun Ce will get an advantage."
"Right now, we'd better let Three Armies Soldiers take some rest, slowly advance the front, collect the fruits of victory, and wait until Shouchun sees Cao Army's movements before we make any plans."
Chen Gong In a few words, the strategic policy for the future was laid down.
As for Lü Bu, you only need to be responsible for the implementation.
"Pretender Emperor, this general is bound to win!"
Night has arrived.
But above Huai River, there were huge warships floating down the river.
What's flying in the wind on the warship is the word "Cao" Great Banner.
It is the warship under Cao Cao!
At this time, on the deck of the largest warship, Cao Cao leaned on the railing and looked at the scenery of the Huai River under the moonlight.
"Huai River is really magnificent."
Cao Cao sighed with emotion and looked at Xun You standing beside him, "Gongda, is your seasickness better?"
This time, in order to hurry and avoid encounters with the Yuan Shao and Lü Bu armies, he deliberately chose to travel by water; Xun You was not used to taking a boat and had been dizzy since he got on the boat.
"Lord Don't worry, I... ugh!"
Before Xun You could finish speaking, he lay down on Railing and vomited, looking very embarrassed.
"Hahaha!"
Cao Cao laughed, stretched out his hand to soothe his back, and said with a smile, "Gongda, please bear with it a little longer. When you get Shou County and capture Pretender Emperor, you won't go by water when you return. I will accompany you back by land."
His words were calm and calm, as if victory was already within reach.
