The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

Lu Bu chased Peng Yue out on his own, and then killed Peng Yue on his horse with a thundering halberd.

A bright sword light passed by, leaving only a headless corpse falling to the ground, and a blood-red head that was still rolling on the ground, dying.

The close followers of Peng Yuejun who witnessed this bloody and horrific scene were all so frightened that their legs trembled and they sweated profusely.

Lu Bu reined in his horse indifferently, turned over and jumped down. He was not afraid at all that these Peng Yue Army cavalry would take advantage of the opportunity to attack him. He calmly picked up the thrown Fang Tian Painted Halberd and looked down at it for a few times.

Seeing that one side of the halberd's blade was slightly curled up due to the violent throw just now, he couldn't help but frown in distress.

That’s all.

Anyway, that fool has a bad head, but he has a lot of money. He is not stingy and treats him very generously.

If this weapon is damaged, it will be damaged. When I return to the city, I will order someone to make a few more and keep them for later use.

Lu Bu thought about it again, and his mood recovered a little bit.

It was only then that he remembered that there were dozens of Peng Yue's closest friends surrounding him.

He raised his eyebrows, and without hurrying back to the jade lion's back, he majestically pushed the long handle of Fang Tian's painted halberd to the ground.

Although his expression was careless, his expression, which was half-smiling but not smiling, suddenly exuded an aura of invincibility in which one man could stand against all others.

Lu Bu looked at the people with frightened faces with disdain, not realizing the disadvantage of being alone at this time. Instead, he spoke arrogantly, with a voice like thunder: "Why don't you descend quickly?"

However, looking at the divine power of his halberd just now, everyone present was shocked by this question and had no fighting spirit.

When the dozens of Chu cavalry who later realized that the general had rushed out on horseback and hurriedly left the enemy soldiers around him and rushed to rescue them, they were stunned to see the group of riders gathering together as if to surround the general. The dozens of Pengyue Army knights, like lambs seeing a tiger, obeyed the instructions and dropped their weapons, knelt down and begged for surrender.

Lu Bu snorted, got on his horse with a matter-of-fact expression, and ordered dissatisfiedly to the stunned group of people: "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you take them away quickly!"

The generals are like waking up from a dream, and they are in a hurry.

As soon as Lu Bu urged the jade lion to take a few steps, he remembered something again. He slapped his forehead and ordered again: "Pick up Thief Peng's head and take it with you too!"

As the commander-in-chief, Peng Yue left his soldiers and fled on his own, which had already chilled the hearts of the military officials.

The few trapped beasts who still fought had completely lost their fighting spirit after seeing Peng Yue's head being displayed by the Chu army.

The clang of weapons falling to the ground was heard one after another, and the Chu army was busy collecting prisoners. As the general, Lu Bu was covered in blood as if nothing had happened, riding around the field on a jade lion that was dyed light pink and looked arrogant. go.

Everywhere he went, Chu Qi's heart surged and he looked at him with reverence. It also made the captured soldiers feel uneasy, dare not look directly, and lower their heads dejectedly.

Little did they know that Lu Bu seemed to be showing off his power, but in fact he was absent-minded.

Except for Han Xin, the cheap guy who had once fought against Peng Yue, probably no one in the world knows what an important hidden danger he helped that idiot eliminate.

As soon as he was on the field, he took advantage of the surprise attack. Although the enemy was outnumbered, he had the advantage of the Chu cavalry being elite and skilled in fighting. It was easy to slaughter a group of stragglers.

Fighting alone, this time there was no opponent.

Thinking about it this way...I feel more and more that there is nothing worth being proud of.

Lu Bu waited expressionlessly for a while, and saw that the soldiers had pretty much sorted out the mess. It was hard to go anywhere else with the more than 4,000 prisoners who were in the way, and all of them were covered in dirty enemy blood.

Thinking that Yan County was only eighty miles away from Chaoge City, he made a prompt decision and led a group of people to advance there.

The deputy general Zhou Lan, who was sitting in charge of Chaoge with great trepidation, was really pleasantly surprised when he suddenly welcomed his commander Lu Bu back.

He was just surprised by the messy blood stains on the general's body. The next thing he saw was the large group of prisoners following behind him, and he was immediately stunned: "General, this is——"

"We've dug a rat's nest," Lu Bu said impatiently, "Why don't you clean it up?"

After saying that, he walked into the palace and glanced at him with disdain.

It was so obvious, why did he have to waste time explaining it?

How can he be so ignorant as to be worthy of the old man Han Xin who was his lieutenant?

Zhou Lan: "..."

After Lu Bu swaggered about bathing, changing clothes, and passing on food, he lay on his side on the former throne of Sima Xian with a satisfied look on his face, one long leg stretched freely, the other lazily bent, and he casually flipped through recent military reports with one hand.

The reason why he deliberately returned to Chaoge City was of course to explore the military situation on the front line.

He scanned the pile of thick bamboo slips at a glance, and realized that while he was wandering around, the Chu army was blossoming in all directions, with numerous victories. Moreover, because Chen Ping successfully persuaded Zhao Xie to surrender, Zhang Er was left alone. , has been defeated like running water.

All four roads were in ruins and overwhelming, but because the overlord changed his bloodthirsty style, the city, which knew it was unable to stand up to the enemy, was willing to open the city and ask for surrender.

In the blink of an eye, most of Zhao's territory had been recaptured, and the four armies were about to join together to suppress Zhang Er's army, which was still stubbornly resisting in the Boyang area.

Lu Bu's eyes flashed with a sense of bewilderment, and he pushed these soldiers away with half interest.

With his eyesight, he couldn't see anything. Even if ten more rats appeared to cause trouble, they wouldn't be able to shake the fool's absolute hope of dominating the world.

It is also true that the day when his great revenge will be avenged and he will escape after his success is not far away.

Lu Bu clicked his tongue

Smacking your lips.

Suddenly, he seemed to taste some unfounded astringency.

While he was distracted, the ignorant deputy general Zhou Lan suddenly reported another trivial matter.

It turned out that the four military officers who had been ordered by King Xiang to repatriate Bo Nu and give Han Xin the order to return to Chaoge City took Bo Nu back to Chaoge City without knowing that Han Xin had been ordered by Lu Bu to lead his army north.

At that time, the person in charge of the city was Lieutenant General Zhou Lan. He did not dare to make any decisions on his own, so he only placed them in a pavilion and waited for General Han or General Lu to return before questioning.

"Bo Nu?"

Lu Bu once served the fat thief Dong in the second capital of Chang'an, Luoyang, and saw countless beauties, not to mention that he also took the stunning beauty Diao Chan as his concubine, and his eyesight had long been raised.

Then, by accident, he came to this place hundreds of years ago. During the time when he lived in the Qinchuan Palace with the Overlord, none of the palace ladies around him could catch his eye.

Moreover, he was preoccupied with killing Liu Mouse to avenge him, and he spent all his time on the stupid King of Western Chu who did him bad things from time to time. He had no time to look for beauties to enjoy.

Now that he suddenly had some free time, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little interested when he heard that Bo Nu had been Wei Bao's beloved concubine, and that the stupid king was actually planning to give it to his cheap brother. He ordered without hesitation: "Bring her here."

He had no intention of taking away people's beauty - he was just out of curiosity and wanted to see what the beauties from hundreds of years ago looked like.

Zhou Lan didn't know the key to 'giving birth to an emperor', so she just thought she was an ordinary beauty. Although she vaguely felt something was wrong, she couldn't say much because of the violent and stubborn temper of her master.

So he went down as ordered and soon brought the person back.

When they learned that King Ai was about to meet Bo Nu, the four military officials felt extremely excited.

What made them uneasy was that when the king first opened his mouth, he clearly wanted to give the girl to General Lu, but unexpectedly he changed his mind and gave it to General Han.

After all this, they were certainly confused, but how could they dare to guess what the king was thinking.

The general in charge of Chaoge right now is General Lu, and he is eager to see Bo Nu...

If General Lu wants to take advantage of him, how can they stop the king's beloved general?

But if he agreed, how would he return his life to the king and General Han who had lost his beauty?

The group of people entered respectfully, not daring to raise their heads and bowed down.

No matter how anxious they were, they didn't dare to show it in front of General Lu, who had a reputation for ferocity and was said to be able to punch even the mightiest king.

Lu Bu said calmly: "Get up."

Little did he know that these people were worried and worried that if they got up, they would have the desire to rape this girl, so they quickly glanced at the thin girl.

Just one glance and I completely lost interest.

Thin girl?

It lives up to its name, this appearance... is quite thin.

Lu Bu had seen a lot of the beauty of the country, and now he just wanted to see the liveliness of the cheap guy who didn't eat meat, but he couldn't really see the mediocre Bo Ji.

He lazily waved his hand and drove the confused group out.

After walking out of the palace in confusion, these people couldn't help but look at each other.

——As expected of the King’s beloved general, he even has the same deep thoughts that are difficult to fathom.

Because of the thin girl's ordinary appearance, Lu Bu simply forgot about them as soon as they left the palace.

After the order was given to reward the sergeants and let the soldiers who had been traveling with him for more than a month rest in Chaoge for a while, Lu Bu lay down comfortably on the couch, and his thoughts drifted to Xiang Yu unconsciously.

It had been a while since he had the fool under his nose, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy because he was so worried about it.

I wonder what that fool is doing?

While Lu Bu was lying down, bored, and subconsciously thinking about the fool who always ruined his plans, Xiang Yu, who was summoning the ministers to discuss matters in the main tent, seemed to have something.

His thoughts moved, his eyes were slightly distracted, and he was quietly startled.

I don’t know what happened to Fengxian, who was the sole leader in protecting the corridor with great righteousness...

Because of his majestic appearance and his always stern face, no one in the tent could notice that the king was in a state of mind.

It wasn't until Fan Zeng suddenly called out "Your Majesty" that Xiang Yu's eyes fixed and he suddenly came back to his senses.

However, it was said that the Chu army had just captured Boyang City, but failed to capture Zhang Er and others, so he ordered them to take the remaining troops and run away towards Linzi.

At Fan Zeng's suggestion, Xiang Yu did not rush to pursue him. Instead, he led his army to station outside Boyang City for some repairs. He then led only a few hundred people into the city and took over everything in Boyang City again.

Because the people in Boyang City were previously coerced by Zhang Er, they had to fight to the death to resist the Chu army's attack on the city, so Xiang Yu spent more effort to besiege and capture it.

Now facing the Chu army that was stationed for the second time, not only the people were panic-stricken, fearing that this ferocious soldier would no longer be tolerant and would settle accounts in the future, but even Fan Zeng, who knew King Xiang's temper very well, was also secretly worried.

For fear that the king would offend the people for helping Zhang Er reach Chu, he would once again order the massacre of the city to vent his anger, thus all previous efforts would be wasted.

As soon as Fan Zeng said this, Xiang Yu, who was completely unaware of his father's worry, thought carefully for a moment, finally digested a lot of information that he had forgotten just now, looked at everyone present calmly, and said calmly: "Then I will follow. Words from the Yafu.”

As soon as these words came out, not only Fan Zeng, but the big rocks hanging on the chests of everyone present fell to the ground silently.

Fan Zeng was relieved and let out a long breath.

While relaxing, the wrinkled face

Go up, unable to hold back the happy smile any longer.

If the king had not really enlightened and realized the importance of the people, how could he really put away his murderous intention and treat the surrendered prisoners so magnanimously?

Xiang Yu didn't know how happy everyone was, but just out of habit, he didn't know how many times he looked at the seat where his beloved general was sitting, and how many times he looked away.

There were dozens of people present, but the only one missing was the beloved general whose posture seemed lazy but whose eyes were full of energy.

The two most eye-catching pheasant tail feathers that are always swaying are missing.

There was a flash of unconscious loss in Xiang Yu's eyes.

Whatever.

Although he likes to use force and conquer the countryside boldly, he is impatient to use scheming methods.

However, according to what Yafu and other advisers said, only by appeasing the people's hearts and being tolerant and waiting for surrender can the Central Plains be settled early. And only by wiping out all the rebels as soon as possible can we lead the generals back to the capital city of Xianyang...

Xiang Yu thoughtfully stroked his inexplicably restless chest, but still couldn't control his return.
