Chapter 88 Yuan Shao: After defeating Lu Bu, now it’s Hua Xiong’s turn!
Dong Zhuo sat here, waved his hand to let the maid who was massaging his legs go down, and then opened the battle report to read.
He was in a very good mood, with a smile on his face, ready to see the expected big victory.
Then, the smile on his face froze.
The whole person looked dazed.
Defeated?
Fengxian actually lost?
Several consecutive battles, all failed? !
His most powerful general was actually beaten by those villains from Kanto? ? !
Dong Zhuo sat here and felt his head buzzing.
He shook his head vigorously, then looked at the battle report in front of him, only to find that nothing had changed.
"this……"
Dong Zhuo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Although Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were sent over at the beginning with the intention of providing a backup for Lu Bu, it was just a routine preparation.
Even Dong Zhuo never thought that he could be of use.
But the result... the result turned out to be like this...
Dong Zhuo sat here, thought for a while, and asked someone to call Li Ru over.
I don't know if it was intentional, but they didn't let the person who went to call Li Ru to tell him whether Lu Bu had won or lost. They only said that there was a battle report from Hulao Pass.
Li Ru walked over with a smile on his face and stroking his beard, looking like he had everything under control.
"Fengxian has been defeated in every battle..."
When Dong Zhuo's voice sounded, the smile on Li Ru's face froze all of a sudden. The hand that was stroking his beard shook subconsciously, and he pulled out two hairs directly.
He hurriedly took the battle report and read it...
Seeing Li Ru's reaction, Dong Zhuo nodded secretly, feeling somewhat satisfied.
It's not good to bear this kind of impact by yourself.
“The battle report said that every time Fengxian went to battle, he would be surrounded and beaten by many generals from Guandong.
Among them, there are three people with the strongest martial arts, namely Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Fei..."
The father-in-law and son-in-law were silent for a while, and then Dong Zhuo spoke first.
Li Ru nodded and shook his head: "It should be the Guandong group. They suffered too much at the hands of Gong Wei, so when they came to Fengxian, which has a greater reputation, they had some plans in advance.
If this is the case, Fengxian’s failure is understandable.
However, this battle was not just about being targeted . Fengxian itself also had huge problems...
Gong Wei had faced many bandits before, and Sun Jian led his troops to block the road ahead, but was also killed by Gong Wei..."
"Then I will issue an order here, asking Fengxian not to go into battle for the next period of time, and also use this opportunity to temper his temper, and hopefully it will be tempered..."
Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said this.
Then the orders began to be passed on.
After the order was passed down, Dong Zhuo still felt a little dizzy thinking about these things.
The contrast is really quite big.
Fengxian's reputation and achievements have always been far superior to Gongwei's.
But who could have imagined that Gong Wei could defeat the bandits from Guandong so badly that they could not even raise their heads.
Finally, when it was his turn, he was defeated over and over again and was beaten up?
Although there seems to be a reason for this, the gap is still a bit big...
Afterwards, news of the battle at Hulao Pass began to spread.
Everyone who learned about the situation there was shocked.
With Hua Xiong's previous successive victories against the bandits from Guandong, as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, everyone in Luoyang had already regarded the Guandong princes and their troops as a mob that could not withstand a single blow.
Never took it seriously.
If Lu Bu takes action, his gains will surely be far greater than Hua Xiong's.
Many people who were close to Yuan Shao and others had already felt despair and were prepared to receive the news of another defeat for Yuan Shao and others.
Who could have thought that there would be such a shocking reversal!
Lu Bu's boat capsized! !
So when they first heard it, many people thought they had heard it wrong and thought it was false news deliberately spread by Dong Zhuo.
Later, as more and more news came, I began to believe it was true.
I just felt surprised and happy!
And because of this, all those people who had previously said that Hua Xiong's achievement was too easy, that the bandits in Guandong were vulnerable, and that they could do the same, all shut up.
Without comparison, there would be no harm, and Hua Xiong's contribution would not be highlighted.
At this time, Lu Bu used his own strength and personal experience to prove to everyone that the bandits in Guandong were not as weak as they imagined.
Hua Xiong can beat these people at will, but others can't.
Afterwards, the wind direction changed, and many people began to scold Lu Bu, saying that Lu Bu, the number one warrior, was just a name in vain, and couldn't even defeat the bandits in Guandong. Compared with Governor Hua, he was far inferior...
This is both a fact and a normal human reaction.
However, it has spread so quickly and has a lot of momentum. There may be some people behind it who are fanning the flames...
At the same time, the reputations of Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gongsun Zan and others also soared...
…
At Hulao Pass, Lu Bu sat there, looking dejected.
At the same time, I was filled with indignation, and I felt like my chest was about to explode.
It’s so depressing!
“A bunch of ignorant people!
They only talk about the results of the battle and don't consider the situations they are facing at all!
Based on what I have encountered, if Hua Xiong had encountered the same situation, he would have been hacked to death long ago!
Where can I make any contribution?"
Lu Bu shouted angrily.
He punched the table in front of him hard.
This table is also unlucky. I don’t know how many punches it has endured from Lu Bu during these days.
At this point it finally couldn't bear the weight, made an uncomfortable sound, and broke.
…
Time passed slowly in Lu Bu's depression.
Soon a month had passed.
During this month, Zhang Fei and others cursed each other many times.
Unable to bear the provocation, Lu Bu went out to fight twice. Both times he was surrounded and beaten, returned empty-handed, and lost a lot of soldiers and horses. After that, he lay down completely and began to play deaf and dumb.
No matter how these people cursed, they would not go out to meet the enemy...
"It was such a great fight this time!"
Kong Rong's voice sounded, and he seemed very excited.
"It is a bit regrettable that we did not kill Lu Bu and failed to capture Hulao Pass."
Yuan Shao laughed and said, "If we can't take Hulao Pass, then we can take Sishui Pass.
It would be good to cut off Hua Xiong's head."
Kong Rong was stunned when he heard this, and then he asked with some inquiry: "The leader means..."
Yuan Shao nodded and said, "That's what I mean."
“However, if we transfer these brave generals to Sishui Pass, will Lu Bu rush out from Hulao Pass after he gets to know the news?
Who can control it then?
Moreover, the villain Hua Xiong must have already known what happened to Lu Bu.
In this situation, how could he lead his troops out from Sishui Pass?"
