Three Kingdoms New Lü Bu

  Lü Bu secretly released Zhang Chao, Chu Feiyan and tens of thousands of Yellow Turban prisoners, pretending that his troops were too few to guard them. He rested for a night at Julu. The next day at noon, he led his soldiers to meet Lu Zhi in Guangzong. The northern border soldiers had already plundered the wealth and grain of Julu's Yellow Turbans, with one soldier getting two horses. Now it was even better - one horse carried a person, and another carried goods, without any delay.

  Julu is only over a hundred miles away from Guangzong, and Lü Bu set out on horseback at noon the next day, arriving at Guangzong before sunset. When Lü Bu arrived at Guangzong, 20 miles north of the city, a scout rushed back to report that there were Yellow Turbans fighting with government troops west of the city. Lü Bu received the news and quickly led his army to form an array, rushing towards Guangzong. Lü Bu led his troops to the battlefield and saw the Yellow Turbans pressing the government troops to the west. Lü Bu led his army to attack the Yellow Turbans from the side. The Yellow Turban soldiers were unprepared and were killed in a panic. Lü Bu's cavalry killed and trampled the Yellow Turbans, causing them to scatter, and the government troops turned defeat into victory, pursuing the Yellow Turbans to the foot of Guangzong City. The Yellow Turbans retreated into the city, and as night fell, the government troops withdrew their army back to camp.

  Originally, Lu Zhi led the government army to fight against Zhang Jue. Zhang Jue had an army of 200,000-300,000 soldiers, while Lu Zhi's government army only had 40,000 soldiers, which was several times smaller than Zhang Jue's army. However, Lu Zhi used guerrilla tactics and repeatedly defeated Zhang Jue, forcing him to retreat and defend Guangzong. When Lu Zhi failed to capture the city immediately, he besieged it by building a blockade, digging trenches, manufacturing cloud ladders, and waiting for an opportunity to break into the city.

  Unexpectedly. The day before yesterday, the Yellow Turban general He Yi led more than 100,000 troops to join Zhang Jiao, and the city where Lu Zhi was besieging was breached. Zhang Jiao's momentum became even stronger, and today he came out of the city to fight against Lu Zhi, wanting to avenge his previous defeats. Just as Zhang Jiao was about to win, he was suddenly attacked by Lü Bu from the side, resulting in a great defeat and retreat back into the city.

  Perhaps it was Lü Bu's good luck, or perhaps Lü Bu could really turn the tide. As soon as Lü Bu went to battle against the Yellow Turbans, the government army began to win victory after victory. First, Huangfu Song, who had been surrounded by the Yellow Turbans, used a fire tactic to defeat the Changsha Yellow Turbans, and now he saw Lü Bu join forces with Lu Zhi to defeat Zhang Jiao again.

  But Lu Zhi was originally defeated by the Yellow Turbans, but unexpectedly, a military force arrived from behind the Yellow Turbans, with a majestic and extraordinary momentum. As soon as they entered the battlefield, they killed Zhang Jiao and his men until they were defeated. Lu Zhi led his troops to follow the official army's cavalry and counter-attacked the Yellow Turbans to Guangzong City, but it was already dark, so he led his army back to camp. On the way, he met Lü Bu and saluted him: "Is the arrival of the Marquis of Wuyuan, Lü Fengxian?"

  Lü Bu on horseback saluted Lü Zhi with courtesy and said: "I am indeed Lü Bu. Are you General Lu Zigan, the Northern Central Lang General?"

  Lu Zhi smiled and said: "It's indeed Lu Zhi. Today, thanks to the help of Marquis Wu Ting, otherwise we would have lost for sure."

  Lü Bu smiled and said, "Victory and defeat are common occurrences in the military. One should not be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat. You are a good general, so don't take this small setback to heart."

  Lu Zhi laughed and said: "Haha... I've long heard of the name Feng Xian, now that I see him, he's indeed a superior general."

  Lü Bu saw a middle-aged fat general beside Lu Zhi and asked: "Who is this general?"

  Lu Zhi slapped his forehead and said: "Ah, damn it! I was so happy to see Feng Xian that I forgot to introduce him. This is Dong Zhongying, the Eastern General."

  Lü Bu's eyebrows furrowed as soon as he heard it. He thought: Is this Dong Zhuo?

  Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Haha, the Marquis of Wen is indeed young and promising. At such a young age, you have already made a name for yourself throughout the land. I am not your equal."

  Lü Bu knew that Dong Zhuo was cruel and tyrannical, but now it seemed that he didn't look so evil after all, with a good smile on his face. He thought to himself: Could later generations have wrongly recorded Dong Zhuo's character? For the time being, he couldn't understand, and now was not the right moment to ruin the relationship between the officials and generals of the imperial army, so he also politely said to Dong Zhuo: "General Dong, you are overpraising me. In the future, we will be comrades-in-arms, please take care of me more."

  Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "Good, good."

  The night had already fallen, Lü Bu had just arrived at Guangzong, and was in a hurry to set up camp. He didn't say much more, and led the army with Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo back to the main camp. Then he ordered the soldiers to set up their tents on one side of Lu Zhi's large camp, and arranged for sentries to be posted at intervals.

  The next day, Lü Bu accompanied Lu Zhi to the front of Guangzong City to observe Zhang Jue's situation. Lu Zhi asked Lü Bu: "Previously, Zhang Jue had already been defeated by me several times, and his morale was low. Unexpectedly, the previous day, the Dongjun bandit leader Bo Yi led his troops to join forces with Zhang Jue, making Zhang Jue's momentum even more fierce. As you have fought for a long time on the border, do you have any good strategy to break through the city?"

  Lü Bu laughed and said, "My army is all cavalry, not good at attacking cities. If you want to line up against me, Lü Bu will be magnanimous. But if you attack the city... haha... I have no strategy to deal with it."

  Lu Zhi sighed after hearing this. Dong Zhuo said, "The wise do not miss the opportunity, and the brave do not hesitate to make a decision. Zhang Jiao was defeated recently, General Lu should immediately order his soldiers to build cloud ladders quickly and attack the city as soon as possible. The city will be broken within ten days."

  Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "No, Zhang Jiao originally had 20-30 million bandits, now he has also obtained tens of thousands of troops from Bu Yi. The enemy's forces are ten times ours, if we force a battle, I fear it will be in vain and only deplete our own strength."

  Dong Zhuo tilted his head to one side after hearing this, but Lü Bu saw that Dong Zhuo's face was displeased, clearly unhappy that his opinion had been vetoed by Lu Zhi. Lü Bu also fell silent, after all cavalry could not attack a city and could only fight in the open fields. If Zhang Jiao did not come out of the city, Lü Bu would have no choice but to give up.

  Three men were about to return to the camp when they saw a soldier rushing in on horseback to report to Lü Zhong, saying that the Emperor was concerned about the war situation and had sent Xiao Huangmen Zuo Feng to inquire about the military situation. As soon as Lü Bu heard this, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, and a killing intent suddenly arose in his heart. A chill spread from Lü Bu's body, and both Lü Zhong and Dong Zhuo felt something strange, but they didn't know what was wrong.

  Dong Zhuo was also a martial artist, and he became even more sensitive, turning his head to look at Lü Bu, but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. The three men rode their horses back to camp, and on the way, Lü Bu kept thinking about whether or not to kill Zuo Feng. But after all, Zuo Feng was someone sent by Emperor Liu Hong, and killing him would be a capital offense if he wasn't careful. In the end, Lü Bu thought it wasn't worth arguing with a eunuch, so he decided to spend some money to get rid of him instead.

  Then Lü Bu returned to the camp and paid attention to Zuo Feng's movements at all times. As expected, Lu Zhi had a strong personality and offended Zuo Feng. Just as Zuo Feng left Lu Zhi's tent in a huff, Lü Bu followed closely behind him and called out, "Zuo Huangmen, where are you going?"

  Zuo Feng saw someone calling himself, turned his head around and saw a young man with a package in his hand walking towards him. He asked: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

  Lü Bu smiled lightly and said: "Zuo Huangmen, lend me a step to speak." Then he walked towards the dark place.

  Zuo Feng hesitated for a moment, then followed Lü Bu to a secluded place. Lü Bu handed the package in his hand to Zuo Feng and said: "As the imperial attendant by the emperor's side, I hope you can speak well of us front-line soldiers when you return to the court."

  Zuo Feng secretly opened the package and took a look. Lü Bu had obtained a lot of wealth from Zhang Fei, so he was naturally generous with his gifts. Zuo Feng's eyes widened with delight as he laughed and said: "Hehehe... what should we call General?"

  Lü Bu said: "I am Lü Bu, Marquis of Wen."

  Zuo Feng listened and flattered: "Originally, it was the Marquis of Wu Ting. Hehe, the Marquis of Wu Ting is not only good at conquering and fighting, but also deeply understands human feelings and worldly affairs. Unlike that Lu Zhi, who really doesn't understand the ways of the world. The Marquis of Wu Ting can rest assured, after I return to the palace, I will certainly inform the Emperor of the Marquis's merits."

  Lü Bu said, "The Left Imperial Guard misunderstood General Lü. Just now, General Lü did not share the hardships with the Left Imperial Guard because he was concerned about the face of the soldiers. These goods are not only owned by Lü Bu alone, but also have a share for General Lü. I hope that after the Left Imperial Guard returns to the palace, he will speak well of us two."

  Zuo Feng smiled and said: "So that's how it is, Marquis Wu Ting can rest assured, I've taken note of it."

  Lü Bu also hated dealing with this eunuch, but Lü Bu knew that offending him would have bad consequences, so he could only endure it. Since the goods had been sent, he didn't bother to argue with him and simply bid farewell and left.
