Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei knew each other inside and out.

Precisely because of this, Guan Yu, witnessing Lu Bu's martial prowess from the sidelines, was well aware that neither he nor Zhang Fei had the certainty of victory.

Therefore, Guan Yu didn't want Zhang Fei to take this risk.

However, Guan Yu thought so, but didn't Zhang Fei think the same?

Moreover, Zhang Fei was even more aware of Guan Yu's fighting style, fearing that it wasn't suitable for confronting Lu Bu.

If the first three strikes were ineffective, Guan Yu would easily fall into a complete disadvantage and be in danger.

Therefore, before Guan Yu could finish speaking, Zhang Fei said in a boisterous manner.

"Second Brother, it's rare to encounter such a strong enemy. This time, no matter what, let me go first. If I can't defeat him, it won't be too late for you to go."

Don't think Zhang Fei was without wit; Zhang Fei was merely simple and reckless, but that didn't mean he only knew how to act rashly.

With Lu Bu's displayed astonishing martial prowess, whoever rashly confronted Lu Bu would face extreme danger.

So, the meaning behind Zhang Fei's words was for Zhang Fei to test out Lu Bu's fighting style and find weaknesses, then have Guan Yu deliver a fatal blow.

Knowing his brother well, Guan Yu quickly understood Zhang Fei's intention, narrowed his eyes, nodded, and said.

"Since that's the case, Third Brother, please be extremely careful. Lu Bu is unlike others and should absolutely not be underestimated."

"Rest assured, I am confident."

Zhang Fei forcefully patted his chest and glanced at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, nodded, and didn't forget to remind him.

"Third Brother, be careful in everything."

Zhang Fei didn't say anything discouraging, and after looking at Li Ji to confirm that he had no objections, he stepped forward and loudly proclaimed.

"Let me meet this Lu Bu."

The thunderous voice continuously entered the ears of every lord, and even Lu Bu, three hundred paces away, heard it clearly.

The confidence and spirit revealed in the voice made Lu Bu, whose face was full of disdain, slightly straighten up.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Fei, clad in black linked armor and riding his ebony steed, slowly emerged from the ranks.

Lu Bu's gaze first lingered on Zhang Fei for a moment, then was attracted by Zhang Fei's ebony steed.

Compared to the crimson Red Hare, the ebony steed was entirely dark black, with only white hooves, representing the extremes of color.

Moreover, the ebony steed was also tall and sturdy, only slightly smaller than the Red Hare, and could be considered a divine steed.

Lu Bu had three loves: wine, horses, and beautiful women.

The divine nature of the ebony steed undoubtedly made Lu Bu quite appreciative, and he couldn't help but praise it, saying.

"Good horse! Could this horse be the legendary ebony steed seized from the Wuhuan King of Youzhou?"

"You have a good eye. Zhang Yide of Yan is here..."

Zhang Fei proudly replied, then unconsciously triggered a certain skill and continued.

"Otherwise, did you think I was like some three-surname slave, relying on licking the boots of a fat, nation-wrecking person to get my mount?"

Instantly, Lu Bu, who had been delighted by the ebony steed, almost completely darkened his expression, emitting a terrifying low pressure, and coldly asked.

"Say that... again?"

Zhang Fei grinned, obviously not knowing what fear was, and with a loud voice, his thunderous sound spread throughout the battlefield.

"I say that the so-called Warm Marquis Lu Bu is indeed a three-surname slave. First, he recognized Ding Yuan as his adoptive father, then he killed Ding Yuan and changed to recognizing the tyrant Dong as his adoptive father. Changing fathers three times, what else is he but a three-surname slave?"

"Furthermore, this three-surname slave has not made great contributions to the country but has been granted a title and favored by the tyrant Dong, who bestowed the Red Hare. Apart from 'licking boots,' what other reason could one imagine?"

"Even this title of 'Warm Marquis,' could it be that the tyrant Dong thought you, this three-surname slave, had a particularly warm body and bestowed it upon you?"

For a time, the entire battlefield, both enemy and ally, fell into a dead silence.

No one would have thought that someone would dare to provoke Lu Bu like this!

What made people even more imaginative was the word "licking boots" that Zhang Fei spoke.

Lu Bu, who was so angry that his hair stood on end, was unable to explain himself.

Whether it was the title of "Warm Marquis" or the Red Hare, they were all obtained by Lu Bu after he killed his former adoptive father, Ding Yuan, and led the Bing Province wolf cavalry to join Dong Zhuo's command.

Lu Bu had never regretted killing Ding Yuan, who had excessively insulted him, but in an era where filial piety was paramount, Lu Bu undoubtedly found it difficult to bring this matter to the forefront, and even intentionally blocked such disgraceful deeds.

Although this matter was not a secret among the lords, the lower-level soldiers, who lacked information channels, were completely unaware of the details.

Now, being yelled out so loudly by Zhang Fei, it immediately triggered large-scale laughter among the allied forces.

Lu Bu's original image of an unparalleled warrior was shattered, reduced to a shameless villain in the eyes of many soldiers, relying on warm "licking boots" to please Dong Zhuo.

The laughter from the soldiers undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

Lu Bu's face, which had been written with "disdain" and "invincibility," was now completely red with anger.

"Zhang Fei, if I don't kill you, I swear I will not be human!"

Immediately, the Red Hare, which was in tune with Lu Bu's mind, also seemed to feel its master's anger, and transformed from extreme stillness to extreme motion, charging towards Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was also unafraid. Feeling the immense pressure from Lu Bu, his spirit was greatly shaken, and he became even more excited, actively迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎迎

The sound of the clash between the Zhangba Snake Spear and the Fangtian Halberd momentarily drowned out the sound of the drums.

This strike caused both Lu Bu and Zhang Fei to furrow their brows, with a similar thought emerging in their minds—"Such great brute force."

Zhang Fei's most prominent characteristic in martial arts was his enduring strength, and his brute force was even greater than Guan Yu's and Zhao Yun's.

What Zhang Fei didn't expect was that Lu Bu could faintly suppress him in terms of pure strength.

However, Zhang Fei's resistance further intensified Lu Bu's anger.

The Fangtian Halberd frantically hacked towards Zhang Fei, as if only tearing Zhang Fei apart could relieve the hatred in his heart.

Facing Lu Bu's attack, Zhang Fei's heart tightened, and he dared not be distracted in the slightest. The Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand also continuously thrust towards Lu Bu, constantly engaging in a counterattack with Lu Bu.

In addition to Lu Bu and Zhang Fei, the two thousand-mile steeds, the Red Hare and the ebony steed, also continuously attacked each other with bites and kicks.

After fighting for thirty-odd rounds, the enraged Lu Bu simply prepared to repeat his old trick, using the method he used to deal with Fang Yue to directly kill Zhang Fei.

However, Zhang Fei's martial prowess was naturally not comparable to Fang Yue's.

Lu Bu's arm armor collided, failing to directly knock away the spear tip. Instead, the Zhangba Snake Spear directly pierced through the arm armor, leaving a clear gash on Lu Bu's left arm.

The Fangtian Halberd, which took the opportunity to slash at Zhang Fei's shoulder, was evaded by Zhang Fei.

The pain from the wound gradually restored some of Lu Bu's reason, who had been enraged, realizing that the Zhang Fei in front of him was by no means comparable to those former defeated generals.

Simply relying on brute force and anger to take down Zhang Fei would not be easy.

Immediately, Lu Bu's mentality slightly stabilized, and the Fangtian Halberd, which had been blindly hacking, suddenly changed, hooking, thrusting, lifting, sweeping...

In just three or five rounds, the Fangtian Halberd displayed the unique uses of eighteen types of weapons.

Such a sudden change left Zhang Fei disoriented for a moment, and he instantly fell into a complete disadvantage, with several injuries added to his body.

Fortunately, the ebony steed and the Red Hare had fought each other for a long time. Although they were faintly at a disadvantage, they were able to carry Zhang Fei away at several critical moments, otherwise Zhang Fei would probably have been seriously injured.

Seeing Zhang Fei suddenly fall into danger, Liu Bei, who personally led troops to support Zhang Fei, showed a few traces of worry on his face, and no longer caring about face, he quickly spoke.

"Yun Chang, quickly go and assist Yide."

Receiving Liu Bei's order, Guan Yu, who was always proud, no longer hesitated in the slightest, and immediately charged towards Lu Bu.

When he charged within ten steps of Lu Bu, Guan Yu suddenly shouted loudly, saying.

"Guan Yu is here!"

Lu Bu, who was fighting fiercely with Zhang Fei and saw an opportunity to take down his opponent within twenty rounds, only then noticed Guan Yu's approach.

When Lu Bu glanced with the corner of his eye, a blue saber light almost rushed towards him.

An unprecedentedly strong sense of crisis surged into Lu Bu's heart.

In the critical moment, Lu Bu didn't care about continuing to suppress Zhang Fei and instinctively leaned back, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade almost grazed past the tip of Lu Bu's nose.

However, before Lu Bu could recover.

Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear and Guan Yu's second strike sandwiched Lu Bu from left and right.

Having rich experience in being besieged from years of fighting in Bing Province, Lu Bu was not afraid, but rather angrily shouted.

"You are courting death!"

In the next instant, the Red Hare suddenly retreated, but shifted all of these left and right attacks in front of Lu Bu, raising the halberd to block.

"Clang!"

At the moment when the Fangtian Halberd, Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and Zhangba Snake Spear collided, a large number of sparks flew out.

Guan Yu's heavy second strike, with the assistance of the Zhangba Snake Spear, almost made Lu Bu's Fangtian Halberd have the urge to fly out of his hand.

This made Lu Bu's heart tighten, and he became wary of this red-faced man who had suddenly appeared.

And the third strike came one after another!

This time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei attacked Lu Bu from above and below respectively.

Lu Bu, who knew that Guan Yu's saber was much heavier than Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear, subconsciously chose to block Zhang Fei's attack, while preparing to dodge the seemingly heavy and clumsy Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

However, just as Lu Bu had readied himself, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which had seemed incredibly slow in Lu Bu's eyes, suddenly became several times faster, so fast that even Lu Bu's eyes couldn't react in time.

'It's changed, so fast…'

As this thought flashed through Lu Bu's mind, his body had already instinctively reacted, shrinking towards the horse's belly.

"Whoosh!"

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade slashed past, and Lu Bu felt a chill on his forehead. A large amount of hair was cut off, and the two prongs of the three-pronged purple-gold crown on his head were also directly severed. (End of this chapter)
