"Since you insist on fighting, Lu can help you and fight you!"

Just as the princes in the tent had their own thoughts, Lu Bu suddenly pondered and responded to the challenge.

"Wen Hou is very grateful!" Sun Ce bowed and said loudly: "A man does not seek fame throughout the ages, but wants to be worthy of his heart. My Sun Ce was born in a military general and learned martial arts from his father since he was a child. He has been mediocre for many years and has done nothing. Today, he can fight with Wen Hou and die without regrets!"

After calming down a little, Sun Ce bowed to Yuan Shao and said calmly: "No matter the outcome of this battle, no matter the outcome, no regrets; if you win, you will be lucky and die as the only one. Please ask the leader of the alliance to agree to the battle between the general and General Lu. The winner will be the vanguard of the Allied Army, and the loser will be life and death!"

"This,,," Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this, and hesitated and didn't know how to make a decision.

Judging from the current situation, Yuan Shao did not want to see friction between the princes at this moment, which would then undermine the unity of the Allied Forces, so he was determined to refuse the battle between Sun Ce and Lu Bu. However, from a rational perspective, he hoped to eliminate the disaster of Sun Ce as soon as possible to avoid endless disasters in the future.

Such a dilemma really made Yuan Shao difficult to make a decision, he was worried about gains and losses, and hesitated.

At this time, Lu Bu sat in his original position and suddenly interrupted: "Don't worry, the leader of the alliance. The battle between our Allied forces and the Xiliang army is imminent. Lu knows the severity and will definitely not injure General Sun's life."

With a brief tone, Lu Bu turned his head to look at Sun Ce, and said in a deep voice with a arrogant expression: "For the sake of the love of the Lord Sun Jian, Lu will fight you. However, I once fought with your father on the battlefield, and in front of me, you are the junior. I, Lu Bu, disdain to bully me, and the war is coming, and we still need to unite and focus on seizing Sili, so I will not take your life this time. This battle is limited to thirty rounds. As long as you can survive thirty rounds, I will give you the position of vanguard to you; otherwise you are not worthy of being the vanguard of the Allied Army. Be selfish as soon as possible. Remember, thirty rounds!"

Lu Bu said this very naturally, arrogant and did not take Sun Ce seriously, as if he agreed to Sun Ce's challenge as a kind of alms. However, the princes in the tent did not feel that Lu Bu's words were inappropriate, and of course they were a little surprised. It seemed that he was a little unbelievable about Lu Bu's attitude of taking the overall situation into consideration. Because in their impression, Lu Bu was not a person who was easy to talk to and was not easy to mess with. Like a tiger that chose people to eat, no one dared to stroke its tiger's beard, otherwise the end would be very miserable.

When Sun Ce heard the sound, his expression changed. His expression, which was calm just now, instantly froze. Then his face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with anger, making him look angry.

It is obvious that what Lu Bu said made Sun Ce difficult to accept. He clearly felt that Lu Bu looked down on him and despised him, as if in Lu Bu's eyes. Sun Ce was not worth mentioning at all, and he was disdainful. This made Sun Ce feel a shame that he had never experienced before. He was angry and his face was ashen, and he wanted to immediately take a stand to fight Lu Bu and never stop. However, in addition to his anger, he also knew that the famous scholar was no less powerful and Lu Bu was so powerful that he could not doubt his martial arts skills. Therefore, Sun Ce had to forcibly suppress his anger and did not get angry on the spot. Then he lowered his head slightly and remained silent.

Seeing that Lu Bu was talking about this, Yuan Shao naturally would not veto it. Then, just as he spoke, Cao Cao suddenly interrupted: "Feng Xian Gaoyi can compete with Bo Fu in martial arts without hurting the harmony. This is very good. The vanguard general is extremely critical. If the vanguard is capable, he can win and encourage the morale of the entire army. If the front army fails, it will inevitably affect morale and shake the morale of the army. Now the top priority before us is to unite sincerely, participate in the righteous act, defeat the Xiliang army, and kill the Li thief. Therefore, I agree with the function of the vanguard. Since Bo Fu is willing to inherit the will of the Lord, we have no reason to refuse. However,,,,,,,,,"

After deliberately delaying his tone, Cao Cao's tone suddenly changed and said solemnly: "But Fengxian and Bofu's father, General Sun Jian, have become famous at the same time. Besides, Fengxian also said that Bofu is a junior. Since this is the case, then Fengxian should teach Bofu more and do not take too much action. After all, we will have a series of fierce battles next. If Bofu is too seriously injured, wouldn't it be like hurting the general himself and being unfavorable to the war? Therefore, please show mercy to General Fengxian and never do stupid things that make his relatives feel sad and the enemy happy."

"Hmph! Cao Mengde, what does this mean?" Lu Bu was furious when he heard the sound, glared at Cao Cao, and asked with a heavy breath.

Cao Cao smiled indifferently and smiled slowly, "Fengxian doesn't have to be angry. Cao also discusses the matter and does not deliberately target anyone. After all, we should put the overall situation first, and do not hurt the harmony and destroy the alliance relationship. Although General Bo Fu only has 20,000 troops, he is the old subordinate left by his father Sun Jian. He has strong combat power and will definitely give Li Zhe a heavy blow. If the Jiangdong soldiers are disappointed by the martial arts, it is because of the small loss of the big, which will damage the strength of our allied forces. Cao's efforts are all hoped that General Fengxian can understand."

Cao Cao's words were plausible. Although every sentence was about the Allies, it was actually alluding to Lu Bu, reminding him not to hurt Sun Ce, otherwise it would be a destruction of the overall situation of the alliance. Obviously, Cao Cao intended to favor Sun Ce and deliberately created problems for Lu Bu, which made him feel scruples and could not let go of his hands and feet to fight Sun Ce.

The princes in the tent knew this, but they did not interrupt and watched silently, not participating in the conflicts and frictions between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, and were waiting for a good show that was about to begin. To put it bluntly, they were just people watching the fun, and it didn't matter who wins or loses. Anyway, they were not interested in the position of pioneers.

The Pioneer General sounds good and has great authority, but in fact it is a chore to take the lead in charging into battle. Zhang Yan, Han Xian, Zhang Miao, Zhang Yang and others are not moved by the Pioneer position. Even if Yuan Shao handed over the position of the Pioneer General, they would not accept it no matter what, and would definitely refuse in every way and never get involved. Compared with siege, they are more concerned about whether the soldiers and horses in their hands will suffer any losses. As long as they firmly grasp the soldiers and horses in their hands, they will naturally be bound to have the benefits they deserve after the war.

"Since Fengxian and Bo Fu are willing to compete, according to your wishes, the winner is our vanguard general!" Seeing Cao Cao and Lu Bu compete against each other, Yuan Shao immediately expressed his opinion and agreed to Sun Ce's request.

Then he got up and walked into the hall, waved his hand, "Everyone moves outside the tent, let's see Fengxian and General Bofu show their skills!"

———————————————

Central Military Academy Field.

Tens of thousands of Allied soldiers surrounded the schoolyard into a huge elliptical arena, with three layers inside and three layers outside. The surrounding area was blocked, and the crowd was surging, and everyone was watching.

For these ordinary soldiers, fame and fortune are too far away from them, and conspiracies have nothing to do with them. Only generals with high martial arts skills are closely related to them and are the most popular. They are highly praised and yearn for it.

At this moment, the confrontation in the center of the school field was a peak duel that was hard to come by, which was enough to feast their eyes and open their eyes. The reason for this was a peak battle was not to say how powerful Sun Ce was. On the contrary, most of the soldiers present had never heard of the name Sun Ce before, and they didn't know what he could do. The person who was truly familiar with and sought after by them was the Wenhou Lu Bu Lu Fengxian who fought against Sun Ce. This is the world-recognized peak powerhouse, the world's number one general, and the undefeated god of war.

As soldiers who fought on the battlefield, they could witness the god of war Lu Bu showing off their skills in their lifetime, even if they were worth their life, there would be no regrets. This is definitely not an exaggeration, but the voice of many soldiers, because most of them did not voluntarily join the army, but had to join the battlefield to fill their stomachs. The people and things that the soldiers admired the most on the battlefield were those Generals Tiger Ben who were incompetent with the courage of thousands of men. This is the benchmark for them to fight for and the highest ideal they dreamed of.

Xi Yuyu!

In the eyes of everyone, the red rabbit horse raised its hooves and neighed, carrying the most powerful god of war in the world, proud of all living beings and looking down on the world.

This is the god in the minds of warriors in the world, the bravest war god Lu Fengxian!

"Dang thump!"

Under the intimidation of the Red Rabbit Horse's hooves standing upright and making a long neighing sound, Sun Ce, who was fighting against Lu Bu for fifty steps, looked solemn. The horse under his crotch was frightened and involuntarily retreated a few steps, as if he did not dare to face the Red Rabbit Horse head-on.

Seeing that Sun Ce's mount was frightened, Cheng Pu quickly stepped forward to grab the reins, comforted the mount, and whispered anxiously: "Young Master, don't show off your strength. Be careful. Never make mistakes, otherwise the old minister will not be able to treat the old master with a public servant!"

"Uncle Cheng doesn't have to worry about me. I know what I am doing." Sun Ce nodded with a cold expression, staring at Lu Bu on the opposite side coldly, and whispered in a deep voice: "Over the years, I have been looking for opportunities to become famous all over the world, but I have no strong opponents, and there is no awesome record. Therefore, the Jiangdong gentry refused to accept us, and the officials of various counties did not believe that Sun Ce had the martial arts and courage that was not inferior to his father, so that we could not stand in Jiangdong, run around and live under others' roofs.

I think I, Sun Ce, practiced martial arts since I was a child, was gifted with divine power. At the age of fifteen, I followed my father to fight on the battlefield. I shot all over Jingyang and the two states with a bully gun. But I lacked a powerful opponent that could make me famous in one battle. Now that the sky has eyes, I finally waited for a great opportunity to make me famous in the world and challenged Lu Bu head-on. After this battle, I can make the world know my Sun Ce's reputation!"

Cheng Pu's expression changed when he heard the sound, and he was surprised and nodded subconsciously to agree, but the worry on his face became stronger and stronger. He looked up at Lu Bu and whispered worriedly: "The young master is outstanding in talent, outstanding in martial arts, and has learned overlord fighting skills, but he has never had the chance to become famous, so he is in a difficult situation. These old ministers know that Lu Bu is not an ordinary person. He is brave and powerful in the world. He has fought all over the world many years ago, making the generals in the world frightened and dare not fight head-on. In the battle of Huzhu in the past, Lu Bu rode a horse to challenge the heroes, and the old master Gongsun Jian avoided his edge. Now Lu Bu is in his prime, and his martial arts are at the peak of martial arts. He is full of domineering spirits. He has a tremendous force when he waves his hand, which is really hard to match. The old minister does not ask the young master to win the battle, but he only wants his life to be safe, which is a blessing!"

Sun Ce frowned slightly, his face showed an unhappy look, his eyes became more sharp, filled with endless fighting spirit. Then he waved his hand gently and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Cheng doesn't have to say much, retreat quickly. I have decided to compete with Lu Bu!"

"Well, okay, the young master should take care of it." Seeing that Sun Ce did not change his original intention, Cheng Pu's expression changed droolly, and then he gave a reminder again, feeling helpless and retreated outside the court.

"I'm done?" Seeing Cheng Pu leave, Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and stared at Sun Ce, saying disapprovingly: "Actually, you don't have to worry. As Cao Mengde said, now we are waiting for hundreds of thousands of troops to be attacked. At this critical moment, I will not hurt your life. However, the four generals left by Sun Jian are loyal and commendable, but unfortunately they are a little unnecessary to use your true heart on you, Sun Ce. You want to fight with me and make a name for yourself. This is an obvious fact. However, no general who fights with me, Lu Bu, has escaped so far. So if you want to become famous in a battle, you must show your true skills, otherwise you will not be worth the loss!"

"Hmph! Others are afraid of you, Lu Bu, but I, Sun Ce, have never taken you seriously. Now that I dare to challenge you, I have already put life and death aside, but I want to fight, "Ziwei" for my whole life!" Sun Ce snorted proudly, then held the reins with his left hand and held the overlord's gun in his right hand, shouted sternly: "Don't show off your verbal advantage. Who is stronger and who is weak, you will know in one battle. Look at the gun!"

Before he finished speaking, Sun Ce lifted the reins, held the Wuwang Gun in his hand, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and rode out from his crotch, and rushed straight to Lu Bu.

"I'm not old, have a big temper, and are quite impatient. Hahaha!" Looking at Sun Ce's squinting, Lu Bu sneered and his body remained unmoved. But the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand suddenly flipped, with a cold light on the halberd and his arms suddenly bulged. He was ready to wait for Sun Ce to come and then a thunder strike.

Seeing that Lu Bu was so arrogant and stopped to fight him, Sun Ce was furious and resentful. However, this scene was taken for granted in the eyes of the princes outside the court, and was not surprised at all. Because this was Lu Bu who they knew, domineering and proud, and he was calm in the face of any opponent, and the spirit of a general was fully displayed.

And this is the difference between the strong and the weak. The strong are in control, everything is in control, Mount Tai collapses in front of him and remains motionless, and thunder sounds in his ears and his face remains unchanged. The weak are complaining about the world, complaining, and losing their temper at any time; don’t you know that these are all manifestations of powerlessness?

In the eyes of the princes, Lu Bu was undoubtedly the strong ones in the field at this moment, while Sun Ce, who was full of anger, was the weak one. Therefore, it is clear that the two sides have not yet fought.

However, is this really the case? Is Sun Ce really so unbearable to challenge Lu Bu?

You will know it in one battle.
