Hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhang Liao was also filled with enthusiasm. He originally followed Lu Bu because of his unparalleled heroic spirit. Now that this self-centered momentum has reappeared, he is worth it.
"March to the drums."
"promise."
Thousands of horses galloped, iron hooves trampled the sky and the earth, and rushed towards Zhang He's military camp with a rumbling shock.
Lu Bu's army stopped outside the camp, then he rode out of the formation alone and slowly came to the front of the military camp.
"Zhang He, Zhang Junyi came out to speak."
Lu Bu's voice was as loud as thunder, even compared to the famously loud Zhang Fei.
"Here you go, Jun Yi, do you want to go out and fight Lu Bu?"
Hearing Lu Bu's shouting outside the camp, Yan Liang's eyes flashed with fighting intent.
"As I have said before, Lu Bu is a very brave man. There is no need for us to use our own shortcomings to attack the other's strong points. We should leave him alone for the time being and frustrate their energy first."
Hearing Yan Liang's words, Zhang He smiled slightly. Although he considered himself very brave, he still had no confidence in facing Lu Bu. Instead of fighting an uncertain battle, it would be better to give Lu Bu a try.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Lu Bu is definitely doomed this time, so let him be arrogant."
In fact, it's not just Zhang He. Yan Liang is someone who has faced off against Lu Bu. He and Wen Chou can barely cope with Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun can completely defeat Lu Bu. Although he has made progress recently, he really has to face Lu Bu with Zhang He.
, and he has no confidence.
"Well, the sergeants are ordered not to attack."
Zhang He was the commander appointed by Ju Shou, and Yan Liang would naturally not disobey him. He also saw that his temper was too violent and he was not suitable for being a general but a commander. In this case, there was no need for him to argue.
Lu Bu waited outside the camp for a while, but received no response at all, and a slight gloom appeared on his face.
"Zhang He, aren't you stationed here just to fight me?
What do you mean you can't drag it out now?"
"I didn't expect that the titled general under Yuan Shu would be a cowardless person."
"If you can't come out, don't blame Lu Bu for marching north. I believe with the speed of my cavalry, it will be difficult for you to stop me."
Lu Bu spoke fluently, staring at the military camp in front of him, waiting for Zhang He's reply.
Hearing Lu Bu's last words, a trace of depression flashed in the eyes of Zhang He and Yan Liang. They never thought that Lu Bu, the most powerful general in the world, could still be a talker.
Now that everything has been said, it really hurts morale if they don't come forward.
"Brother Gongji, you better not be exposed for the time being, so as not to scare Lu Bu away. I will go and talk to Lu Bu right now."
"be careful."
Yan Liang glanced at Zhang He, and after thinking for a moment, he could only say this to him.
"Um."
"Come and prepare your horses and open the city gate."
Zhang He, holding a spear and riding a horse, led a group of Qin soldiers out of the opened camp gate and came to Lu Bu.
"I have admired the name of Marquis Wen for a long time, and now I see him. He is truly Lu Bu among men and Red Hare among horses. He is well-deserved."
Zhang He clenched his fists at Lu Bu on horseback.
"Zhang Junyi, you don't need to talk nonsense. You understand the purpose of my coming here, and I also know what you want to do here, so there is no need to hide it. Just use whatever trump card you have. I, Lu Bu, will follow.
Now, how about we fight first?
Let me measure how much weight you, a titled general, have."
Lu Bu was not as good-tempered as Zhang He, so Fang Tian drew his halberd and pointed it at Zhang He, threatening to fight.
"Haha, Zhang He knows that Marquis Wen's battle prowess is unparalleled in the world. I will not ask for trouble. If someone is accidentally killed by your formation, everything will be fine."
Zhang He shook his head. If he challenged Lu Bu to a duel, he would be either crazy or stupid.
"Then what exactly are you going to do?
To fight or not to fight, to withdraw or not to withdraw?"
Lu Bu looked at Zhang He, with a hint of irritation in his eyes.
"Haha, I'm just here to stop Mr. Wen Hou. If you lead your troops to go north, I can only lead my troops to suppress you behind. Of course, I also stationed 50,000 militiamen in Zhending. If you don't defeat me and go straight north, I believe the consequences will be
You also know."
Zhang He is not angry. If Lu Bu really dares to leave him and go north, then he will be really sad. There are really 30,000 militiamen defending there. It will be difficult for Lu Bu to break through if he rushes there. If he follows up at this time, he will be behind with the militia
During the flanking attack, Lu Bu was stunned.
"Haha, you don't have to fool me. You can give me accurate information on whether to fight or not. Otherwise, I will go directly north. Even if I can't break through Zhending's defense line, I believe that you, a young guard of Changshan Kingdom, will still be punished."
Lu Bu honestly didn't believe Zhang He's words. You deployed 50,000 militiamen in Zhending. Did you transfer all the surrounding militiamen there?
If you don't bring a militia but only bring your own 10,000 loyalty troops, I believe you are a big-headed devil.
"Is Marquis Wen really determined to fight?"
Zhang He smiled in his heart when he heard Lu Bu's words, "If you dare to go north, I, Zhang He, will take your surname," but the expression on his face was full of worry.
"right."
Seeing Zhang He's look, Lu Bu knew that he had touched his sore spot.
"Then let's fight early tomorrow morning."
After Zhang He finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the military camp without giving Lu Bu a chance to reply.
Seeing Zhang He leave, Lu Bu was not angry. His eyes were filled with the excitement of success. In the battle tomorrow, he would definitely capture Zhang He and turn Chang Shan Kingdom upside down.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Bu also turned the horse's head and headed towards his side.
"Lord, how are you doing?"
Seeing Lu Bu coming back, Zhang Liaoqi stepped forward.
"I made an agreement with Zhang He to fight tomorrow morning."
Lu Bu told Zhang He the results of his discussion.
"My lord, is this Zhang He's tactic to slow down the troops? Has his reinforcements not arrived yet?"
"Wenyuan, if you hadn't arrived with reinforcements, would you have rashly camped outside the city?"
Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao in return.
"If my reinforcements hadn't arrived, I would not have chosen to camp outside the city in the face of the lord's ten thousand cavalry, because if I didn't have enough strength, I would definitely be defeated by you in one battle. Then why doesn't Zhang He fight today and fight again tomorrow?"
Hearing Lu Bu's rhetorical question, Zhang Liao was stunned. He couldn't figure it out.
"Originally, Zhang He wanted to avoid fighting, but I tried my best to force him on the grounds of Beishang Zhending. He had no choice but to agree to a fight tomorrow."
Speaking of Zhang He being forced to fight, Lu Bu smiled, his eyes full of confidence.
"I see, but after all, we are in the territory of Jizhou and we have to be on guard. If there are enemy reinforcements coming from behind, especially the Yingyang Army, we must make early plans."
After hearing Lu Bu's explanation, it made sense for Zhang Liao to have a fight tomorrow, but he always felt that there was something he didn't know, and an inexplicable sense of crisis always lingered above his head.
