Chapter 92: The Three Heroes Battle Lü Bu (Part 2)
The battle in the arena was fierce and intense, with the spectators watching in awe and trepidation.
Zhang Liao held a strong bow made of stone, tightly staring at the four people who were fighting, while also paying attention to Cao Cao and others who were watching from the opposite side, preventing them from rushing up. He had originally wanted to rush out to support Lü Bu in the first place, but he deeply knew Lü Bu's temper, and it was absolutely not a good thing for him to charge forward without waiting for his order.
After a while, he knew that Lü Bu was actually no longer in danger, his worried heart put down, but his curiosity began to itch.
Lü Bu's martial arts had clearly made a qualitative leap, surpassing his level from several months ago when he fought Zhang Xiu by more than one grade. This improvement was not only due to the acquisition of Red Hare and Fang Tianhua Halberd, but also possibly related to his practice of Daoyin technique.
Zhang Liao also had a guiding chart, but he didn't practice diligently. As a general, he was different from Zhang Yi and Lü Bu, who didn't think that personal martial arts were the only factor; instead, he devoted more of his mind to studying military strategy with Huangfu Song. He believed that deploying troops and arranging formations was the true study that a general should focus on. Huangfu Song's martial arts were ordinary, but no one could deny that he was truly the god of war in this era. Lü Bu's martial arts might be excellent, but they couldn't compare to Huangfu Song's.
However, seeing the scene in front of him, seeing Lü Bu single-handedly challenge three people, he still felt a surge of hot blood and thought that he should also spend more time on his guiding technique.
Cao Cao across from them was also shocked. Yesterday, after watching the competition between Guan Yu and Zhang Liao, he already thought it was unbelievable, but now after seeing Lü Bu's martial arts skills, he realized that although Guan Yu was strong, he still had not reached the pinnacle.
Lü Bu is stronger than him.
Cao Cao also has a good martial art, although he can't be compared with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but he is absolutely not inferior to Liu Bei. Among ordinary people, he can be considered a master. Since obtaining the Daoyin Tu, his martial arts have made great progress, feeling that he has improved a lot, breaking through the boundary in sight, having the opportunity to join the ranks of top masters. However, seeing this scene, he knows that even if he breaks through successfully, he will not reach the level of Lü Bu and Guan Yu in this life.
Because of his age, his skeleton has already formed, and his achievements are limited.
He glanced at Cao Ren beside him. Cao Ren's eyes were shining, his body slightly bent, tightly gripping the long spear in his hand, with a posture that was ready to charge out at any moment. He knew what Cao Ren was thinking, he must also be attracted by this scene. Cao Ren was still young, if given a guiding chart now, maybe he could have achieved more. Apart from this, his younger brother Cao Chun was also a good seedling.
However, compared to Lü Bu and Guan Yu's extraordinary martial arts skills, what made Cao Cao even more astonished was the Emperor's generosity. Cao Cao knew that without the right guidance technique, even if Lü Bu understood his destiny, even if he possessed the Red Hare horse and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, he would not be able to become powerful. The guidance diagram is a divine technique, and anyone who obtains it will treasure it as a precious thing and keep it secret from others. Cao Cao himself had obtained the diagram but never showed it to anyone else, even when Yuan Shao hinted several times that he wanted to take a look, Cao Cao pushed him away.
The Emperor handed over the diagram of the Guiding and Pulling technique to Lü Bu? So, it seems that the rumor about him using the "Twelve Forms of the Yellow Emperor" to train his guards is true?
Cao Cao and others had left Luoyang, but they still knew the situation in Luoyang like the back of their hand. The news that Liu Bian had carefully selected more than 300 guards had already reached their ears, but neither Yuan Shao nor Cao Cao believed that Liu Bian would use the diagram to train his guards. Even if it was a basic diagram, they thought it was impossible. After all, with over 300 people involved, it would be difficult to keep secrets for a long time, and using the diagram to train guards while risking leakage was like making a big gate out of gold.
Aren't you afraid of being stolen?
But now Cao Cao believed. He looked at Zhang Liao in front of him, looking at the three hundred motionless guards, and his heart was racing with fear.
If these three hundred people all practice Daoyin, what kind of power will they have?
The emperor is going to take the elite route to counter Shandong's overwhelming population advantage.
Cao Cao's thoughts were a thousand miles away, and for a moment he was distracted.
On the city wall, Liu Bei was also frightened and his heart racing. Although Lu Bu had not fallen behind in the fight so far, knives and guns were blind, and if something unexpected happened, Lu Bu would be injured or even killed, which would be a huge loss.
While worrying about Lü Bu, he hated Liu Bei even more. You are a member of the Han imperial clan and didn't help me fight against Yuan Shao, instead you helped him to fight against me? Are you out of your mind? I let Lü Bu surrender to you just to give you face, but you don't know how to appreciate it. Since that's the case, then don't blame me for cleaning up the house later, and sooner or later I will deal with you.
"The grass-shoe seller is a big-eared thief, disloyal to his ancestors and assisting the tyrant in his cruelty. He will not die a good death." Liu Bian cursed viciously, clenched his fist and heavily pounded the city wall.
Huang Fu Jian Shou watched with his eyes and listened with his ears, without making a sound or changing his expression, but in his heart he secretly laughed without speaking. Even the relatives of the imperial family surnamed Liu had no confidence in the court, it can be seen that people's hearts are inclined towards them. However, it is precisely because of this that they have the opportunity to advise the emperor to move the capital to Chang'an and have the opportunity to revive the Shanxi group.
The wheel of fortune has turned, and after being oppressed for over a hundred years, the people of Shanxi finally have the opportunity to turn things around.
……
Liu Bei, who was struggling to hold on, raised his long spear and was about to block Lu Bu's attack when he suddenly felt a blackout in front of him, with a buzzing sound in his ears, as if he had been punched hard. His hand slowed down, and Lu Bu's halberd broke through his interception and stabbed at his face.
Liu Bei instinctively twisted his body to the side, avoiding a frontal attack. Fang Tian's halberd stabbed past his face. Lü Bu flipped his wrist, and the halberd blade turned over, slashing across Liu Bei's cheek. If not for the helmet blocking it, this blow might have split open Liu Bei's skull.
Despite this, Liu Bei was seriously injured, with blood gushing out like a spring and pain piercing his heart. He let out a loud cry and fell off his horse. Lü Bu took advantage of the situation to swing his halberd, which sliced across Liu Bei's thigh, tearing open his armor and inflicting another deep wound.
Amidst the cries of agony, Liu Bei fell to the ground.
"Older brother!"
"Older brother!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei shouted in unison, charging forward on horseback. Guan Yu raised his sword to block Lu Bu's path, while Zhang Fei leapt off his horse, shouting loudly as he collided with the warhorse that was trampling Liu Bei. The warhorse let out a mournful cry, veering two steps to the side before colliding with Lu Bu. Zhang Fei spat out a mouthful of blood, but didn't have time to worry about himself, instead rolling and crawling towards Liu Bei: "Brother!"
Cao Cao saw it was not good and immediately gave the order: "Charge! Rescue!"
Almost at the same time, Zhang Liao also galloped out on horseback, raised his long spear and shouted loudly: "Charge! Seize people!"
The sound of hooves was loud and clear, as five or six hundred cavalrymen charged simultaneously.
Lü Bu lightly tapped Chi Tu, avoiding Liu Bei's fallen warhorse. Looking at the nearby Liu Bei, Lü Bu couldn't advance in time to deliver another blow and couldn't help but loudly lament his misfortune. Without saying a word, he turned his horse around, abandoned Liu, Guan, and Zhang, and charged towards Cao Cao.
Watching Lü Bu approach like a wildfire, Cao Cao was shocked and turned around to run.
