Chapter 77 opened her eyes

  "Who else dares to fight me?"

  With a spear in his hand, he rode a fine black horse, its body as black as coal. A leopard-headed man with a ring around his eye and a face like charcoal was shouting loudly, but no matter how loud he shouted, not one of the soldiers on the opposite side responded.

  Everything was due to the two stray ownerless war horses grazing not far from him and the two corpses that had already grown cold.

  "Is there really no one in this Western Liang army, renowned for its bravery, who dares to engage me in a fierce battle? They are all just a bunch of cowards!"

  Zhang Fei, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, became enraged and shouted loudly. If it weren't for the fact that there were many enemy soldiers in front of him, and he had only brought a few hundred men out to put on a show, he probably would have led his troops in a charge to attack and kill them all.

  He didn't know that his appearance had been seen clearly by the people behind him. Song Xian and Cheng Lian whispered: "I don't know how His Majesty appointed such a person, but this martial art is indeed powerful. If it were in the past, I'm afraid you and I would not be able to withstand his few moves."

  Song Xian nodded in agreement: "I'm afraid only Wen Hou can defeat this dark-faced man, otherwise Zhang Wenyuan should be able to fight him."

  Zhang Fei had just killed two enemy generals with little effort, the first one was pierced to death by a single spear, and the second one who rushed up was only able to withstand three rounds before being cut down at the waist by Zhang Fei's snake halberd.

  For these two opponents, Zhang Fei simply thought that the two were too weak and didn't have anything worth paying attention to. However, Cheng Lian and Song Xian had heard of their names before, although they couldn't be considered famous generals, but in this army, they were somewhat well-known. It was astonishing that they couldn't even last five rounds against Hei Tan Tou, with such overwhelming strength, they had only seen it on Lü Bu's body before.

  Even if they have obtained the cultivation method now, but because the practice time is not very long, their own strength has not increased much. Now, if they want to fight against this Zhang Fei, a forbidden army general, they are afraid that it will be difficult to escape defeat.

  After watching for a while, he saw that Li Jue's army on the opposite side had no intention of letting Wu Jiang come out to fight alone again, and even had a hint of withdrawing troops back to camp. Cheng Lian rode forward: "The enemy has retreated, General Zhang might as well withdraw his troops back to camp too." Zhang Fei was now just a deputy general, not a full general, but after all, he came to support himself and showed quite good martial arts skills, so being polite wasn't a big deal.

  Zhang Fei was unhappy with the situation, but Li Jue's army had already retreated. He himself had come out too hastily, bringing only a few hundred close followers, while most of his men were still in camp helping the Hu Bao army set up their tents. Moreover, although the enemy had retreated, their formation was not disordered, and charging forward would be no different from seeking death. Zhang Fei was impulsive, but he was not stupid, and naturally he would not do such a foolish thing.

  "After settling down at a certain house with his troops, he rested for a day before coming back to fight you again."

  He cursed and scolded for a while, then turned his horse's head and headed back to the main camp. Cheng Lian and Song Xian followed beside him, guiding the way and asking: "Do you want to see Duke Wen first?"

  When Zhang Fei led his troops to the Hu Bao army, they happened to arrive when the Hu Bao army was setting up camp. He ordered his men to go and help, and was about to meet Lü Bu when he heard that Li Jue's army was approaching. Without asking how the Hu Bao army planned to respond, Zhang Fei led several hundred of his troops who had not yet dispersed in a charge out of the camp, rushing out to engage in a great battle with Li Jue.

  Unfortunately, although Li Jue's army sent many troops this time, Li Jue himself did not come out. Zhang Fei scolded for a long time and only scolded two generals, but he didn't see Li Jue.

  "Li Jue is as timid as a mouse, and he didn't even dare to come to the front line himself. Otherwise, I would have made sure he never returned."

  Zhang Fei grumbled a couple of sentences in discontent, then followed Cheng Lian and Song Xian to rush towards Lü Bu's big tent.

  Actually, Lü Bu was also discussing Zhang Fei with Guo Jia and Zang Ba in the big tent.

  Originally, it was said that the emperor sent a thousand soldiers led by a general of the Imperial Guard to provide support. Lü Bu didn't take it too seriously at first, but when he heard that Li Jue had sent troops to provoke him, the general who led the army took several hundred men to confront them and immediately became very worried.

  "Your Majesty's envoy, if something really went wrong with the Marquis of Wen, I'm afraid it would be misunderstood by Your Majesty." Cao Xing immediately asked Lü Bu to fight and led his troops out of the camp, absolutely cannot let Zhang Fei get into trouble.

  Fortunately, Guo Jia was present and smiled: "That Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, I have also heard that he is the sworn brother of Emperor Liu Bei Liu Xuande's uncle, with super strong martial arts. Your Majesty has privately praised him as having the bravery of ten thousand men, and it is likely that this time he will win and return victorious. Lord Wen can rest in his tent."

  When Guo Jia said this, the crowd didn't believe it, but they couldn't refute it either. On the other hand, Lü Bu was quite curious - the Emperor was becoming more and more mysterious in his heart, and since the Emperor valued Zhang Fei so much, he must have had a reason for doing so. He was somewhat curious about what level Zhang Fei was at.

  Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long before a soldier came to report: "That General Zhang with the dark face beheaded one of the enemy's lieutenants as soon as they met."

  Before he had finished speaking, another soldier rushed in: "That General Zhang with the dark face has beheaded another of Li Jue's generals; the enemy general only lasted three rounds."

  Upon hearing this, the other generals in the tent also put down their guard and were quite surprised: Where did this Zhang come from? He's actually so formidable?

  In the past, they just saw their own general, Lü Bu, cutting down others like chopping vegetables, but it was rare to see other generals killing enemies so neatly and quickly. They couldn't help but feel a little curious about that Zhang Fei - at the same time, they also had a few more good impressions of him. After all, in this era, if you have skills, others will look up to you a bit more.

  Besides, Zhang Fei's current position is not low either. As the commander of the Imperial Guard, he leads a thousand men. I wonder how many people in this account have positions that are not as high as Zhang Fei's.

  They were just discussing, when the door curtain was lifted, and Cheng Lian and Song Xian came in first. They then let the person behind them come in. Everyone saw a robust man with a height of eight feet, a face like a pot bottom, and leopard-like eyes around his head, walking in with big strides.

  "A certain Zhang Fei, also known as Yide, has arrived with the Emperor's order to support General Lü." The voice was like thunder, and the people in the tent were even shaken so that their ears buzzed, all turning to look at this Zhang Fei.

  "As expected of a fierce general..."

  It's just like this, as soon as they went onto the battlefield, they scared off a few people, and once they opened their mouths, they probably stunned another batch.

  Lü Bu was not affected, looked up and down, and appreciated Zhang Fei in his heart. After all, such a strong man had high vision. If Liu Xuan had only sent an ordinary general to come, he would have just nodded to show that he knew, and then let someone take him away to do whatever he wanted. However, now he was personally asking questions, and finally left Zhang Fei in the account to discuss matters together.

  Apart from Zhang Fei being sent by the Emperor, Lü Bu also took the initiative to show his closeness to the Emperor, and it was also a way to show his importance to those who were capable.

  Zhang Fei saw that Lü Bu was being polite to him, so he also restrained his own irascible temper. Although he had a bad disposition and spoke harshly, it didn't mean he was stupid or a mad dog who would bite anyone he met. When people treated him with courtesy, he naturally maintained the proper respect.

  Soon, Zhang Fei found out that he had actually done nothing wrong and the cause of the matter was very simple.

  Li Jue had previously lost two battles, and the soldiers who had retreated earlier were spreading rumors about how powerful Lü Bu was, which severely dampened the morale of the troops. Originally, they had planned to send troops to take advantage of Lü Bu's unstable position and attack when the soldiers were tired, but unexpectedly, they were beaten back by a man named Zhang Fei with a dark face.

  In a fit of rage, he didn't care about anything else and personally led his troops to attack, while Lü Bu's side had just finished setting up camp and was cooking, when suddenly the sky was filled with dust and smoke, blocking out the sun. Just by looking at the situation, it was clear that the enemy was numerous.

  Zhang Fei originally wanted to continue fighting, but Lü Bu said: "Since Li Jue, that thief, dares to come, then he should not leave. Today's battle will settle this thief and allow the Emperor to quickly recover the northwest."

  After finishing, he took the Fang Tian painting halberd and walked out of the big account. A group of generals had to follow behind him. Zhang Fei wanted to rush out, but Lü Bu was very polite to him before, and it wasn't good for him to speak out at this time, otherwise, it would be too ignorant.

  At the same time, he was also very curious about Lü Bu, the world's number one fierce general, and wanted to see what made him so capable of having such a big name.

  "Let's take a look at what kind of person Lü Fengxian really is."

  But this glance unknowingly, Zhang Fei almost stared his copper bell-like eyes out of their sockets, simply because Lü Bu's displayed strength was too astonishing and completely exceeded his understanding.

  But then Lü Bu appeared, carrying his halberd and riding a large horse from Dunhuang. He didn't even glance at the soldiers still arrayed behind him, but instead galloped forward on his own, not even looking at the three generals charging towards him. When he was ten meters away, he raised his hand and swung his halberd in a wide arc. A bright white light flashed on the tip of the blade, followed by a semicircular slash that shot out from his hand and cut the first general to charge into two pieces. Even the general's horse couldn't escape, and it instantly sprayed out a large amount of blood, staining the ground red.

  Then, without giving the other two a chance to react, he urged his warhorse to charge between them, slashing his halberd to the left and then quickly turning his wrist to slash to the right. The two people who were at least two lengths of the halberd away from Lü Bu suddenly spouted out two bursts of hot blood, followed by two thuds as they fell off their horses, after which there was no more sound.

  "What is this?"

  Zhang Fei stared with his eyes wide open, but no matter how big he stared, he still couldn't understand what Lü Bu had done and how he had beheaded the two enemy generals.

  What shocked him even more was that Lü Bu didn't have the slightest intention of holding back, and instead charged straight at the enemy army.

  "Across from us there are at least five thousand troops lined up in formation, does he really think he can just charge right in?"

  Turning his head to look at the side, he saw that none of Lü Bu's generals were worried about Lü Bu. Instead, they were all adjusting their troops and forming a battle array - an array that seemed to be ready to launch a surprise attack at any time. It seemed that they were very confident in Lü Bu's ability to break through the enemy's formation, and then they could take advantage of the situation to launch a pincer attack.

  "Is this... those mysterious and wonderful techniques that Big Brother spoke of?"
