To the west of Sishui Pass is Hulao Pass.

This Hulao Pass, also known as Gugu Pass, is named Hulao because it is rumored that King Mu of Zhou once kept the tigers he had offered here. Here, it was set up in Qin, connected to Songyue in the south, and the Yellow River in the north, with mountains and rivers intertwined, which was a natural danger. It was a great opportunity for a man to be the pass, and ten thousand men could not open, and it was a place that military strategists in history must fight for. More importantly, this Hulao Pass is fifty miles away from Luoyang. If Hulao Pass is occupied, Luoyang would be like a girl tearing off her clothes, and they would be exposed.

Less than 20,000 left the remaining soldiers in Xiliang, fled westward to Hulao Pass. The Hulao guards gathered the remaining defeated soldiers and hurriedly wrote an emergency document, asking the scouts to send them to Luoyang with a quick horse.

At that time, Dong Zhuo was having a banquet for the ministers, singing and dancing, and drinking in full swing. When the scout was running in in a panic, he couldn't help but be extremely angry and pulled down his face and shouted: "You're so panic! Why report it quickly!"

The scout hurriedly bowed, not daring to speak out, but just handed over the document tremblingly.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Li Ru, who was also a counselor, got up and took the document and handed it to Dong Zhuo with both hands.

Dong Zhuo shouted: "Hey, Wenyou, you see, what do you want to hand me to me?"

Li Ru smiled and said, "How can the son-in-law be so arrogant?" After that, he opened the document and saw a drastic change in his face.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo hurriedly asked, "Wenyou, what's wrong?"

Li Ru closed his eyes and shook his head, lamenting: "Hua Xiong was beheaded, and Sishui Pass has been lost!"

"What?" After hearing this, Dong Zhuo threw the wine cup and kicked the case open. The cases were immediately overturned, and the fruits, vegetables, and wine and juice poured all over the floor, shouting, "Get the banquet for me, discuss matters! discuss matters!"

The dancer in the table hurriedly retreated, and the civil and military officials hurriedly stopped drinking and having fun.

Dong Zhuo looked around the civil and military officials and said, "Now he has damaged General Hua Xiong and lost the Sishui Pass. The thief is in great power and will go straight to Hulao Pass. What should we do? Let's discuss it."

All the ministers were shocked.

Only the right-headed general suddenly stood up at the first seat and shouted: "What's the fear of this? Hulao Pass has not been lost. My Xiliang Iron Cavalry is still here. I, Lu Bu, have gone to drive away the thieves in Guandong." This general is Lu Bu, Lv Fengxian, who is 1 zhang tall, wearing a three-pointed purple gold crown, a Xichuan red flower robe, a beast-faced and swallowed the head, a chain armor, a slinging lion belt, and a barbarian belt behind her back. She was majestic and looked down on all directions as she spoke.

The left leader Li Ru bowed and said, "General Fengxian said exactly, "I have not lost my Hulao Pass, so why fear it? I have the courage of General Lu Bu and the power of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. Please ask the prime minister to lead the army to Hulao, and the evil forces in Guandong can be calmed down."

"Okay!" Dong Zhuo laughed: "I will go and meet those ungrateful thieves."

So Dong Zhuo personally led 200,000 Xiliang horse infantry, and joined Li Ru, Lu Bu, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others to Hulao Pass. When the army arrived at the pass, Dong Zhuo ordered Lu Bu to lead 50,000 to settle the village in front of the pass, and led 150,000 to station in the pass, and the two armies formed a stent.

Speaking of which, Yuan Shao's coalition forces occupied the Sishui Pass, and their morale was greatly boosted. After a little rest, the governor of Jizhou, Han Fu and his headquarters were left to guard the Sishui Pass, and the remaining nineteen towns formed a large army to Hulao Pass.

Song Shijiang no longer wanted to participate in the battle, and increased casualties of his own troops. He shirked the responsibility of the death and injuries of his own troops in the battle of Sishui Pass, so he had to rest and recuperate.

Yuan Shao refused and said that the Song army was brave and that attacking Hulao was indispensable. Therefore, the Sishui Pass supplies were reserved for the first time. At the same time, more than 20,000 surrendered troops were allocated 10,000 to supplement the Song Jiang town. The rest of the people were allocated to Liu Bei, the magistrate of Pingyuan County of Changsha Prefect Sun Jian and the rest of the towns to show their rewards for the contributions to Song Shijiang and the other towns.

Song Shijiang reluctantly agreed to continue moving westward, and was secretly excited. He hurriedly ordered Lin Chong to lead Huang Xinsun Li and the officer training camp under the tent to pick and train the surrendered soldiers in Xiliang, especially the iron cavalry. He also ordered Wu Yong to bring Guan Sheng, Qin Ming and Dong Ping to pick and choose the horses and equipment and supplies of the horses. Fortunately, all the surrendered soldiers were taken down by himself in one battle, and the leader Yuan Shao was willing to choose the selection work. He was very busy, but the generals of the camps had no time to rest day and night.

Such a reward, a thousand golds to buy bones, greatly stimulated the other towns, and their eyes were red. Liu Bei, especially because of the killing of Hua Xiong, only two thousand surrendered soldiers were divided by Yuan Shu and others. Although his expression was not moving, his envious eyes had already betrayed his heart.

Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi in the fifth town, thought to himself: "When the battle came down from Sishui Pass, the Xiliang people and horses were already distracted. It would be better to arrive at Hulao first, and maybe you should also take some credit." Thinking of this, the troops under our headquarters quickly whipped up and took the lead to Hulao Pass first.

People should never be afraid of being greedy for merit. Wang Kuang led his troops to Hulao Pass in a hurry. However, at this pass, Lu Bu was leading more than 10,000 Western Liang cavalry to form a formation, waiting for the effort.

Seeing that thousands of people and horses from the east were coming, less than four or five miles away, Lu Bu shouted loudly, "Kill!" first, he raised the Fangtian Painted Riven, and rushed out even if the red rabbit horse was neighing.

"Xiliang Iron Cavalry, invincible in the world! Kill! Kill!" The Xiliang Iron Cavalry behind him roared in unison, and under the command of two generals with full armor in front, they began to step in rhythm, and then accelerated, roaring like a torrent of steel.

"Dongdongdongdong..." The sound of war drums started. "Wuwuwu..." The sound of trumpets started.

Lu Bu's red rabbit and horse were like wind and lightning, and he was in contact with the pioneer general Wang Kuang in an instant.

The general was tall and strong, headed straight for the horse, holding a spear, shouting majestic: "Hanoi Fang Yue is here, come to die for the common name!"

Lu Bu glanced at the tiger's eyes and smiled contemptuously. He was too lazy to answer, and he raised Fang Tian's painting halberd and rode his horse to continue rushing straight.

Fang Yue was also a famous Hanoi general. Seeing that Lu Bu was like this, he was furious and raised his spear and drove his strong horse to hedge against Lu Bu.

"Bang", the two horses hurried and collided fiercely. The two generals collided with each other, making a sound of iron and stone. After a moment, the two horses separated, but they saw that the steel gun in the hand of the general Fang Yue had been twisted into a strange shape. The chain of armor on the upper body was broken, and a halberd mark that penetrated his chest appeared. Fang Yue looked down in disbelief, let out a shrill scream, and immediately fell backwards and fell off the horse without any sound.

Lu Busen smiled, and did not slow down his horse. He continued to rush straight into Wang Kuang's army with one horse and a halberd. Such a rush was like a hot knife inserted into the oil. Wang Kuang's army was in chaos, with broken limbs and broken arms, and his head and flesh flew everywhere in an instant; red blood, white brains, and green internal organs and intestines were thrown all over the ground; soldiers screamed and war horses roared, and a single general had already turned Wang Kuang's army upside down.

Immediately afterwards, more than 10,000 Western Liang cavalry swept over, "Boom", the black cavalry swallowed Wang Kuang's army like a hungry wolf. The sharp spear sprinted into the opponent's body with the horse's stance. Even if there were groups of cards and armor protection, it was useless. Anyone who sprinted the spear would break the armor and shatter, and flew backwards with screams.

Wang Kuang's army was defeated, and the soldiers were trembling with their terror, fleeing in all directions. The Hanoi prefect Wang Kuangzao was so scared that his face was pale, and he kept trembling. He turned his horse's head and fled back desperately. The Western Liang cavalry chased him reluctantly, hoping to achieve full results.

Fortunately, the remaining troops and horses in the other towns behind had arrived at this time. Yuan Yi, Kong Rong and other princes saw that Wang Kuang was being chased, so they hurriedly sent a large army to rescue Wang Kuang. Lu Bu saw that there were many troops in Guandong and his army and horses were chasing too fast and the array had dispersed, so he stopped chasing and returned the same way. Just on the way back, he killed thousands of troops and killed them.

The princes of each town looked at Lu Bu's bravery and dared not fight again. They retreated for more than 30 miles to set up camps, waiting for most of the Allied forces to arrive.

Within two days, the nineteen towns of troops arrived, and 20 miles ahead, ten miles away from Hulao Pass, and camped together in one camp. There were countless antlers and horse barriers in front, huge trees and fences behind them, and high tower observation decks were erected in all directions. The tents in the camp were densely packed and closely connected; the flags were large and red, orange, green and yellow, and they were flew with the wind, covering the sky and the sun; swords, spears, swords, halberds, knives and forks, and the coldness was shining with the sun.

In the tent of Yuan Shao's central army, all the princes gathered together.

Wang Kuang's face was gray and he was still scared, and shouted, "That guy Lu Bu is so brave and unrivaled."

Yuan Shao's heroic and generous face instantly pulled down. He stroked his long beard and said unhappily: "My deeds, don't be angry with others. If you weren't greedy for merit and reckless progress, how could you have been defeated like this?"

Wang Kuang was very dissatisfied and argued: "After a certain general under the tent, Fang Yue, is very skilled in martial arts and has the courage to stop thousands of men. He is not the enemy of Lu Bu," he said.

Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang in the fifteenth town, disdained Wang Kuang's greed for success and recklessness, and could not hear his arguments. He sneered: "Then Fang Yue is afraid that he is not just a false reputation."

"You..." Wang Kuang was angry, shook his sleeves fiercely, and said hatefully: "If you don't listen to me, it's too late to regret it!"

Just as he was talking, a scout came to report: "Then Lu Bu is here to fight!"

Wang Kuang laughed coldly when he heard the news: "You can go to fight and you will know. Brother Zhisheng, you are so majestic, why would you be so powerful than your troops to kill Lu Bu and get a great achievement?"

Zhang Yang was a straightforward person, so how could Wang Kuang stand such ridicule? He said furiously: "Brother Gongjie really bullies me, everyone under my tent?" He turned to Yuan Shao and shouted: "Leader, Zhang Yang is willing to fight to the death with Lu Bu in Xiliang, and never return. But please come out of the camp to see, is Lu Bu invincible in the world? Or is the prefect of the king exaggerating the words."

"You!" Wang Kuang was so angry that he shivered, stretched out his index finger and pointed directly at Zhang Yang, cursing, "Zhang Yang, don't say that you don't tell you, just wait and regret..."

"Okay." Yuan Shao was not very convinced. He interrupted Wang Kuang's words and said, "Then let the prefect Zhang Yang lead the headquarters to fight, and we will watch the battle behind the formation."

"No!" Zhang Yang took the order, and Ran Ran walked out of the Central Army's tent and went to convene the headquarters.

Song Shijiang shook his head and led his civil and military generals to follow the princes out of the camp. He was also thinking in his heart whether to come out to dissuade the Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang. "Lu Bu among people and red rabbit among horses", this Lu Bu is the most brave general at the end of the Han Dynasty. Your attack was purely self-destructive. But he was also distressed, how to dissuade? In the current situation, it is purely disgusting, and maybe he will be hated, especially when the princes have their own selfish intentions and their own calculations.

"Oh!" He couldn't help but sigh and thought to himself that he could only send his subordinates to rescue him when he was in danger. This might be the best. It is worthy of these Allied teammates who have no grievances and no grudges, and he may still gain some kindness.

Liu Bei, who was walking side by side, was always very concerned about Song Shijiang. When he saw Song Shijiang sighing, he couldn't help but be curious. He quietly pulled Song Shijiang and said, "Brother Gongming, why do you sigh? Isn't you optimistic about Prefect Zhang Yang?"

Song Shijiang nodded and replied, "Brother Xuande, that's exactly what it is. Have you ever heard of Lu Bu in the human world and Red Rabbit in the horse?"

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Bi is ignorant and has never heard of it. In this way, is Lu Bu still more powerful than Hua Xiong?"

When Song Shijiang thought, he was right, how could the idiom "Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses" appear now? It is likely that it was created by Luo Guanzhong, and even if it was circulated in the Han Dynasty, at least it would have to be produced after Lu Bu conquered the world, picked all the heroes and killed many people.

He smiled and said, "After today, Brother Xuande will know."
