N-A-A Chapter 137
Chapter 137
"We, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, have galloped across the battlefield and were invincible. How could we ever be afraid? Today, we are actually frightened by a young boy. How can we keep our dignity?" Dong Zhuo's eyes were wide open, and his voice was like a bell, shocking everyone in the hall.
"Where did your bloodiness and fearlessness go when you fought against the Qiang and Hu in the past? Did the years smooth out your edges, or did the comfort erode your fighting spirit?!" His words were like a cold wind, penetrating everyone's heart and stirring up ripples.
Just when the atmosphere was extremely solemn, Lu Bu stepped forward, his figure was as tall as a pine tree, and his outfit was even more dazzling.
The beast-faced swallow-head chain armor shone with a cold light; the three-pronged purple gold crown showed his extraordinary status and majesty; the Xichuan red brocade flower robe fluttered in the wind, gorgeous and heroic; the eight-armed divine bow on his back, although not yet drawn, made people feel awe; the Fang Tian Huaji in his hand was even more cold and pointed directly at the sky.
"Father, calm down. Although I am not talented, I am willing to be the vanguard and go to Sishui Pass to compete with the leader of the coalition army and regain the glory of my Xiliang warriors!" Lu Bu's voice was firm and powerful, and every word was sonorous, like the beating of a war drum, instantly igniting the fighting spirit of everyone present.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall changed, and Dong Zhuo's face also looked much better.
"Hahahaha!! My son Fengxian stands here like a natural moat. In my eyes, the so-called coalition of the 18 princes is nothing but a broken leaf in the wind, vulnerable to attack!" Dong Zhuo's laughter was heroic and arrogant, echoing in the tent. His eyes flashed with determination and confidence, as if he had foreseen the dawn of victory.
Just as Dong Zhuo was about to send Lv Bu, the unparalleled blade, to support Sishui Pass, a majestic figure suddenly appeared on one side of the tent, as steady as a mountain. This man was more than nine feet tall, with a strong back and waist, and wearing chain armor. He was the famous general of the Xiliang Army - Hua Xiong.
"Hehe, my lord, don't worry. The vanguard of the coalition army is nothing to worry about. I am not talented, but I swear to crush the arrogance of the vanguard of the coalition army at the pass to enhance the prestige of our army!" Hua Xiong's voice was low and powerful, and every word was sonorous, revealing unquestionable determination and heroism.
Before Lu Bu surrendered to Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong, the famous iron-blooded warrior in Xiliang, had already been famous. He went through the battlefield with Dong Zhuo, and depended on each other for life and death. Every drop of sweat and blood forged his loyalty to the lord. Therefore, when Dong Zhuo planned to march into Luoyang and compete for the grand cause of the Central Plains, Hua Xiong was entrusted with the important task of guarding Xiliang and became a copper wall and iron wall to resist foreign invasion and stabilize the rear. .
Now the coalition forces are surging like a tide, forcing Dong Zhuo to re-examine the war situation and urgently recall this battle-hardened warrior and his elite Xiliang cavalry from the border.
In fact, there is another important reason for Hua Xiong to go to war this time, that is, the dispute between the Xiliang and Bingzhou factions.
In the past, before Lu Bu joined Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong was the leader and was favored by Dong Zhuo. His reputation was known to everyone in the Xiliang army. Now, Lu Bu's rise is like a bright new star, gradually taking away some of the light, and the delicate balance between the two factions has quietly changed.
During this period, the Xiliang faction and the Bingzhou faction have been constantly moving in Mingzhen and constantly making things difficult for each other. If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's restrictions everywhere and Lu Bu was not easy to mess with, the conflict between the two sides would not have been a big deal this time.
Everyone rolled out from the tip of the knife! He Hua Xiong naturally can't lose his face.
In fact, Dong Zhuo has always known about the undercurrents between the two major factions of Bingzhou and Xiliang. He not only sees through it, but also manipulates it skillfully.
Because he knows very well that it is difficult to support one side alone. If one wants to achieve hegemony, relying on the power of one faction alone is no different from an ant trying to shake a tree. There will be a time when there is no way out. The real grand plan lies in opening up a wide range of talents and gathering the power of all directions, so that one can ride the wind and waves in this chaotic torrent and point directly to the world.
This time, Dong Zhuo wants to support the Xiliang faction. First, he did suppress the Xiliang faction a bit seriously before. Second, he knows that in the current changing situation, although Lu Bu is like a sharp sword in the sheath, it is not the time to easily unsheathe it, so as not to alert the enemy and expose the trump card.
"General Hua, this important task is none other than you. I have specially ordered another 20,000 elite troops to be supervised by General Li Su. The two of you should rush to Sishui Pass like a dragon and a tiger, and show the unparalleled power of our Xiliang Iron Cavalry with the force of thunder and lightning!"
"I obey your order!"
...
At the same time, the vanguard of the coalition forces was slowly advancing towards Sishui Pass.
Liu Yao, Gongsun Zan, and Sun Jian rode together.
The three of them kept chatting and kept maliciously inquiring about each other. After all, the three of them were all well-known people, and Gongsun Zan and Liu Yao were well-known.I know the details, but I am not very familiar with Sun Ce and his team.
So I still have to test the other party's details. If this person is a pig teammate, it will be troublesome.
"General Sun is famous far and wide. I saw him today and he is really majestic and admirable." Liu Yao treated him with courtesy, and there was a hint of testing in his words.
Hearing this, Sun Jian smiled heartily, his eyes were like torches, and he looked straight ahead.
"General Liu, thank you for your praise. I, Sun Wentai, am just a warrior. It is my great honor to fight side by side with you. I hope we can work together to break through this pass and enhance our military prestige."
"Who in the entire Han Dynasty can sweep across the northern tribes and be appointed General of Cavalry when he is over 20 years old? I am only the governor of Changsha at the age of 36. General Liu is really a hero in his youth!"
"Hahaha! Governor Sun, you are too kind. I heard that you are brave and brave in Bingzhou a long time ago. You are the vanguard here. We can definitely break through Sishui Pass!"
To be honest with General Liu, Jiangdong has always been a place that values loyalty and produces strong soldiers since ancient times. The arrogant soldiers and brave generals behind me have been impatient to fight against Dong Zhuo this time. "
After that, he introduced the elders of Jiangdong Group to Liu Yao one by one.
Cheng Pu, lacking in vision, later served as Zhou Yu's deputy, and had some courage.
Huang Gai, of course, was famous for his self-torture tactics, so he must be quite thick-skinned.
Han Dang, with a big knife, was also good, a veteran of Jiangdong for three dynasties.
There was also Zu Mao, who used double knives, but unfortunately died a little too early.
Liu Yao looked at the 10,000 or so troops behind Sun Jian. Although the Wuyue region has been a place of fierce folks since ancient times, and Xiang Yu's 8,000 soldiers could conquer the world, although these people all looked brave and aggressive.
But since they were all newly recruited soldiers, the military discipline was completely different from that of Liu Yao and Gongsun Zan's team.
