When Dong Zhuo received the news of the fall of Sishui Pass, he angrily smashed the wine table in front of him. He had only had a few days to live in peace, and these bastards from Guandong came to trouble him!

Li Ru looked at the furious Dong Zhuo, and his originally dim eyes flickered with light again.

Dong Zhuo didn't have much energy or time to rebuke Hua Xiong, so he looked directly at Lu Bu, who was standing at the head of the generals, and said loudly: "Lü Bu!"

Lu Bu stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Here you are!"

Dong Zhuo shouted angrily: "Mobilize your troops immediately. I will personally lead the army to fight. You are the vanguard. You must take off the heads of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao!"

"As you command!"

Lu Bu accepted the order and went down to lead the troops.

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo who was still angry on the stage, and suddenly a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

Li Ru came from a poor family and was not resentful of this big man being firmly controlled by a wealthy family, so he chose Dong Zhuo, who also came from a grassroots background and admired him very much, in order to change this situation.

Dong Zhuo was really a hero back then. He had a fierce personality, extraordinary martial arts skills, and most importantly, he was very resourceful, loyal, and ambitious. Even the Qiang people were very convinced of him.

For the sake of a glimmer of hope for the poor family, Li Ru was willing to get involved and used various means to push Dong Zhuo to the point where he was the most powerful prince in the world and the power of the Western Qin Dynasty.

I thought I was not far from my ideal, but I didn't expect that I was just one move away. Now Dong Zhuo has everything, including money and food, strong generals, powerful soldiers, territory, and righteousness. Basically, as long as Dong Zhuo is not stupid, it is not difficult to conquer the entire world.

However, Dong Zhuo, as the most critical leader, fell. I don't know whether he was blinded by the prosperity of Luoyang or was heartbroken by the ugly faces of the wealthy families. He became self-defeating and had no ambition to make progress.

He didn't even listen to Li Ru's advice. He just coveted enjoyment all day long and sang and sang every night. The entire Xiliang army did not live up to its previous ferocity and was slowly corroded by the comfortable life. Li Ru felt that his ideals and ambitions

They are getting further and further away from themselves.

Now the arrival of the Kwantung Allied Forces has raised hope in Li Ru's heart, and Dong Zhuo seems to have cheered up again. If Dong Zhuo can be awakened, what if Luoyang is lost? Not only will Li Ru not feel distressed, but he will be deeply grateful.

Yuan Shao and the others.

So Li Ru came up with a plan to ask Dong Zhuo to capture everyone in the Yuan family in Luoyang, behead them all, and then give them to Yuan Shao.

Dong Zhuo has always had 100% trust in this son-in-law. Although he has found him a bit verbose recently, he still trusts him very much and naturally follows Li Ru's arrangements.

Li Ru looked in the direction of Hulao Pass and said silently in his heart: Yuan Benchu, I hope you can wake Zhong Ying up!

Li Ru didn't know the real purpose of the princes' fight against Dong this time. The information about Zhang Yang and Yuan Shu had already reached Li Ru's hands.

What Li Ru now hopes is that the princes of Guandong can beat Dong Zhuo awake and awaken his ambitions, so he chooses to deliberately provoke Yuan Shao to stop him from being too aggressive.

The many twists and turns in the battle against Sishui Pass guarded by Hua Xiong is enough to show how tricky this challenge against Dong is. If Yuan Shao is not given some stimulation, how can these princes with evil intentions become Dong Zhuo's whetstone?

Lu Bu led his 30,000 Bingzhou cavalry and galloped towards Hulao Pass, his heart filled with excitement.

Having always been invincible, I have been lonely for a long time, and I have never met an opponent who can even defeat me.

Hua Xiong was the only one in Dong Zhuo's army who could still see it, but even with all his strength, he couldn't take a single move. It was no challenge to him at all.

This time the princes are challenging Dong, all the heroes from Guandong should be here!

Lu Bu gently lifted the halberd in his hand, and said to himself slightly excitedly: "I hope you won't disappoint me!"

Since he was fourteen years old, he has basically not been able to defeat his opponents. By the time he was sixteen years old, no one in Bingzhou could go through two rounds under him. He kept fighting on the battlefield, and his strength increased every moment.

, now in his thirties, at his peak, even he doesn’t know how strong he is.

Lu Bu is now eager to have a hearty battle, because he feels that he still has room for improvement, but it is difficult to make progress through training alone. Lu Bu also knows the news about Hua Xiong's breakthrough two days ago.

It made him even more excited, maybe this was his chance to make a breakthrough.

Two days later, in Hulao Pass, Lu Bu looked at Hua Xiong, who seemed to be glowing with his second youth, and smiled slightly.

"Zijian, you can finally see your strength now. Come and fight me."

Hua Xiong looked at Lu Bu nervously, his forehead was covered with sweat.

What kind of monster is this! I thought I could close the gap with the opponent by breaking through, but why do I feel that the gap between the two has not only not decreased, but has increased!

Hua Xiong suddenly felt a sense of despair. Even if he broke through, the other party would still feel unfathomable to him, and the sense of oppression would be even stronger. As expected, the other party was just teasing him before, and he might even have 30% of his strength.

No use coming out.

Holding back the fear in his heart and the trembling of his body, Hua Xiong took a deep breath.

"kill!"

With a courageous roar, Hua Xiong used the momentum of his horse to charge forward, wielding the long knife in his hand and slashing with all his strength.

Hua Xiong had a feeling in his heart that he might only have one chance to take action, so he basically went all out for this attack, and his inner energy burst out without any reservation.

Lu Bu saw Hua Xiong's aura surging throughout his body, and a smile appeared on his lips: "It's a bit interesting. Unfortunately, it's still too different!"

Lu Bu didn't move the red rabbit on his crotch, he just stayed there quietly, waiting for Hua Xiong to attack.

Seeing that Lu Bu did not move at all in the face of his attack, Hua Xiong's eyes were blood red. Damn it, is the gap really that big? Even if I can't beat you, I still want to let you know that I, Hua Xiong, am not a fool!

"Go to hell!"

Hua Xiong rushed to Lu Bu with thunderous force and roared angrily. The long knife in his hand seemed to be able to split a mountain, and he slashed at Lu Bu with all his strength.

A trace of disappointment flashed in the corner of Lu Bu's eyes. Is it still unstable after just breaking through the realm? This strength is too weak.

Gently stimulating his inner energy, he waved the Fang Tian Painted Halberd in his hand casually.

"clang!"

By the time Hua Xiong came to his senses, the long knife in his hand had been knocked away by Lu Bu's painted halberd, and was deeply embedded in the ground in the distance.

Seeing the disappointment in Lu Bu's eyes, Hua Xiong felt as if a deep thorn had been stabbed in his heart, and the excitement and complacency brought about by his recent breakthrough disappeared in an instant.

Is the gap really that big?

Lu Bu's attack with all his strength was shattered with a very casual blow, leaving him unable to fight back.

Hua Xiong seemed to have lost his soul, sitting on his horse blankly, looking at the tip of Lu Bu's halberd.

Lu Bu sighed softly, turned the horse's head and drove towards the outside of Hulao Pass. A faint voice came: "You are still too weak! You are so weak that I don't even have the strength to take action. I just broke through, so stabilize yourself."

In this state, come to me again when you are about to break through again."
