Chapter 11 First meeting with Lu Bu!

"Ji Chengtian?"

When Liu Bei saw Ji Hao, his expression was very complicated.

On the one hand, it was indeed a bit unfair of him to exclude Ji Hao when they swore brotherhood in Peach Garden. Later, he discovered that Ji Hao was extremely powerful and had the potential to become a peerless warrior. Sometimes he would reflect on whether he was wrong.

But what made him feel even more complicated was that Ji Hao was sitting next to Huangfu Song, so Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo had to move aside.

Obviously, his status is not low.

But Liu Bei had no qualifications at all to take a seat.

The gap is really too big.

"After all, we know each other. If you don't have the money to supply your own soldiers, you can leave them to me. I promise to treat them well!" Ji Hao said.

When he saw Liu Bei again, he was no longer in a mood.

Ever since he was excluded from the Peach Garden Oath, Ji Hao no longer had any respect for the people of this era.

What remains is only a normal mind.

"No need. I, Liu Bei, will naturally treat those who follow me well. I don't need anyone else to do it for me!" Liu Bei said, paused, and then said, "On that day in Taoyuan, my second and third brothers and I shared the same interests and became brothers. I will never regret it!"

What he meant was that he had no regrets about eliminating Ji Hao.

Even though Ji Hao has become successful now, Liu Bei still has no regrets. If he could do it again, he would still do the same thing - in a sense, Liu Bei is very similar to Cao Cao.

One will never regret what he has done, while the other will never admit his mistakes.

"Guan also..." Guan Yu wanted to say something along the lines of his elder brother Liu Bei, but when he lowered his eyes from the top of Ji Hao's head, he found that Ji Hao had already looked away.

It's Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo.

At this time, the two were arguing for the position of vanguard general: Dong Zhuo, as the representative of the Western Liang Army, wanted to let his capable general Hua Xiong be the vanguard general to challenge Zhang Jue's younger brother, "General Ren Gong" Zhang Liang.

Kill the enemy and gain merit.

However, Ding Yuanze wanted his subordinate Zhang Liao to go into battle and grab the credit for the Bingzhou army.

The two argued endlessly and neither gave in.

It was almost a fight.

"I just inquired about it. The leader of the Yellow Turban Army, 'General Tiangong' Zhang Jue, was defeated by Lu Zhi a few days ago and died of illness in the army. Now the Yellow Turban Army is led by his brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang!" Cao Cao whispered in Ji Hao's ear, "Among them, Zhang Liang is the most brave and has the highest reputation. If we can kill him in one fell swoop, not only can we achieve a great achievement, but we can also use the situation to recruit the elite Yellow Turban Army under his command. He is a big piece of fat meat!"

Hearing this, Ji Hao understood why the two were arguing so fiercely.

How can a vicious dog not be powerful when it snatches food?

"But my lord, please don't argue with him!" Cao Cao said again.

This made Ji Hao confused.

"How to say?"

"Huangfu Song has not expressed his opinion, and he is obviously not in a hurry. This is probably his way of provoking the Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army to fight." Cao Cao said: "I don't think he is worried about losing the credit. He must have fought with Zhang Liang before and knows his strength. He thinks Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan can't be defeated easily!"

After that, he paused for a moment and then said, "So, my lord, don't act rashly."

He knew that Ji Hao was brave and had a great chance of killing Zhang Liang if he challenged him, but he thought it was not advisable to take the risk.

What if the other party is more brave or cheats?
"I'm not in a hurry." Ji Hao said.

At this time, the two were still arguing and were about to fight.

But Huangfu Song just watched quietly, without saying anything. In addition to him, there was another two-meter-tall, extremely handsome "scholar" in the big tent, with a calm face and no concern for the dispute between the two. Ji Hao smiled and walked over and said, "Fengxian, who do you think can defeat Zhang Liang, Hua Xiong or Zhang Liao?"

That’s right, Fengxian.

That was none other than Lu Bu, also known as Lu Fengxian, who later became known as "the most powerful general in the world".

But at that time, he was just an inconspicuous little general in the Bingzhou army, and he was not even the "chief clerk in the army" later. The reason why he was able to take the seat was because he was Ding Yuan's adopted son.

In terms of official positions, Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong were far above him at this time.

"Neither. If Dong Zhuo takes Hua Xiong with him, he will have a 10% chance of winning at most, and he will most likely die in battle." Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Wen Yuan is capable enough, but my foster father won't give him too many soldiers, and he won't risk his life to lead the army himself, and he won't be able to defeat the Yellow Turban Army!"

This insight refreshed Ji Hao's understanding of Lu Bu.

But think about it carefully, if Lu Bu only has bravery but no brains, and a trap can send him into the coffin, can he still be the best general in the world?
How to become a local lord?
After all, it was because the opponents he faced later were too strong that he seemed to be inadequate - Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Cao Cao joined forces, plus Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, this luxurious lineup never appeared again in the entire Three Kingdoms period!
Neither Yuan Shao nor Sun Quan are qualified enough for Cao and Liu to join forces to target!
Let’s get back to the topic. Let’s get back to the present.

After an argument between Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, Huangfu Song finally smoothed things over and ordered Dong Zhuo to lead a large army to attack Zhang Liang from the flank, while Ding Yuan sent Zhang Liao to attack from the other side.

Hit the front side yourself.

With the attack from three sides, whoever captures Zhang Liang will be the first to achieve the credit.

"Dong Zhuo is in trouble!" said Lu Bu.

After receiving the order, Dong Zhuo immediately took Hua Xiong and his own Xiliang army to attack Zhang Liang: In his opinion, Lu Zhi, a scholar, could defeat Zhang Jiao, and the Yellow Turban Army was nothing but a bunch of useless people.

I didn't take it seriously at all.

Just rush over and attack, attack from the left wing and head straight for Zhang Liang.

Then... without even seeing Zhang Liang, he was surrounded by the army and fell into crisis. Hua Xiong could only barely protect himself and had no time to care about Dong Zhuo.

It was the battle in the original novel where Dong Zhuo was besieged.

"Food and grass are coming!"

As Liu Bei said this, he led Guan and Zhang, and the three of them charged towards Dong Zhuo.

On the other side, Zhang Liao led 3,000 troops to attack from the right wing and killed Zhang Liang, but he was outnumbered and could not defeat the enemy formation.

And, most importantly, Zhang Liang's bravery was unexpected.

Even with Zhang Liao's martial arts, he was unable to win in a short period of time. Instead, he was at a disadvantage because of the interference of the soldiers.

"It's troublesome. My foster father doesn't want to take risks, but Dong Zhuo can't protect himself! Wen Yuan can't disrupt the enemy's formation, and Huangfu Song won't launch a frontal attack if he doesn't see an opportunity. If the stalemate continues, how can our army win?"

Lu Bu was watching the battle in the camp and could no longer sit still.

He stood up suddenly, picked up his Fang Tian Hua Ji, and went to lead the horse.

"Fengxian, do you want it?"

"Kill Zhang Liang, disrupt the enemy's formation, and defeat the Yellow Turbans!" Lu Bu jumped on his horse and rushed towards the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans alone, wanting to kill Zhang Liang in the army and turn defeat into victory!
Huangfu Song, Ding Yuan and others were all stunned.

Cao Cao was also shocked: "Is this man crazy?"

Even the whole army can’t do it, so how can you, alone, do it?
"No, the enemy's attention is attracted. Now is a good time to charge into the battle and kill the enemy commander!" Ji Hao drew out his fine steel spear, jumped on his horse, and charged towards the enemy.

This shocked Cao Cao.

"My Lord, are you crazy too?"
