If only people’s hearts remain steadfast.
Then their situation will be alleviated.
"Xuan De, I’ve already set up defenses in Pu Yang. If you agree, I would like your soldiers to participate. Is that acceptable?"
Saying this, Cao Cao directly looked at Guan Yu standing behind Liu Bei.
During the previous battle at Langya.
He had already witnessed Guan Yu’s bravery, and he greatly admired Guan Yu’s deanor.
"I have long known that Xuan De has many brave generals under his command."
"I hear that under that traitor Yuan are Qu Yi, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other brave generals."
"I wonder if the great generals under Xuan De can fight against them?"
Before Liu Bei could speak, Guan Yu behind him imdiately snorted coldly: "They are re showy fools; what is there to fear?"
"Elder brother!"
Saying this, Guan Yu stepped forward and cupped his fist towards Liu Bei: "I request to fight, brother."
"Lord!"
Seeing this, Zhao Yun also stepped forward, cupping his fist to request to fight.
Gu Tao’s face also showed battle zeal, he had been contemplating a life-and-death battle with Qu Yi, and he too spoke: "I am willing to go to Pu Yang."
Everyone was full of battle spirit.
"Young master." Liu Bei imdiately looked at Gu Tao, seeming sowhat hesitant.
But Gu Tao just waved his hand directly: "Do not worry, Lord Xuan De, the Gu Clan’s descendants are by no ans afraid of death."
"In the current situation."
"If I were to retreat, that would bring sha to my grandfather and my Gu Clan’s ancestors."
His tone was very resolute.
Hearing this, Cao Cao also cupped his fist towards Gu Tao.
"The young master is noble indeed."
Liu Bei also spoke.
Saying this, his tone paused, and he looked at Cao Cao again: "Since it is so, let’s listen to Brother ngde’s arrangent!"....
....
Bingzhou State, Jinyang.
Lu Bu sat in the main seat, taking a sip of strong wine, looking satisfied.
Thinking back to the days when he left Bingzhou, he was just a subordinate general under Ding Yuan.
Now, returning to Bingzhou, he is already the Governor of Bingzhou.
This gave Lu Bu a sense of returning ho in glory.
As for the war within Bingzhou, he paid it no mind.
Even knowing that those coming to attack Bingzhou were Huangfu Song and the Gu Clan’s descendants, he was not worried in the slightest.
He rely sent people to set up defenses in Shangdang, Yan Sect, and Taiyuan.
Planning to completely cut off Gu Chen’s path into Jizhou State and Sii Province.
"General."
At this mont, Zhang Liao slowly stepped in, cupping his fist towards Lu Bu: "Scout reports have co in."
"Huangfu Song and Gu Chen’s army have reached West River."
"Their forces are directly targeting our Jinyang."
Zhang Liao’s expression was sowhat grave.
The offensive of Huangfu Song and Gu Chen was really too fast.
Though it was to be expected, as nearly all of Ma Teng and Han Sui’s soldiers were Qiang cavalry.
As for the soldiers under Gu Chen, there was no need to say much.
Their experience crossing rugged mountains for surprise attacks in Longyou had already improved their will and physical strength by leaps and bounds.
What’s so surprising about such speed?
"They dare to invade?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Bu slightly frowned, sowhat annoyed: "Do they not know I have already returned to Bingzhou?"
"They are aware."
Zhang Liao said with so helplessness: "General, Huangfu Song once worked with Gu Gong to quell rebellions, achieving countless rits, he is no ordinary man."
"As for Gu Chen... he is extraordinary."
"General, do you still rember what Lord Yuan once said about him?"
Comnts?
Lu Bu was silent for a mont, then rembered.
"His Martial Arts have progressed rapidly, unmatched by ordinary people, deal with him cautiously, kill if you can."
This was what Yuan Shao specifically told him before he set out.
"Progressed rapidly?" Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao and said lightly.
Then he shook his head, showing a trace of disdain: "What if he has progressed rapidly?"
"I am already invincible in this world."
"Could it be that the Gu Clan’s descendant can be like Gu Gong of yesteryears?"
His tone paused slightly, he took another sip of wine, then said: "Wenyuan, pay it no mind."
"Gu Gong was indeed extraordinary."
"But now that Gu Gong is gone, I, Lu Bu, am number one under heaven."
"What of Gongsun Zan’s White Horse Righteous Followers?"
His bearing was proud and prestigious.
Seeing Zhang Liao’s expression still sowhat grave.
He felt disappointnt, pushing over the table in front of him with one hand, standing up: "No matter!"
"Since they know my na and dare to invade."
"Let them witness the might of Lu Bu!"
"Transmit my command."
"The three armies prepare for battle to face the invading enemy."
In truth, Yuan Shao had only asked him to guard these three regions, after all, the one leading the enemy was Huangfu Song.
But for Lu Bu now.
Defense?
Wouldn’t that be an insult to him?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao’s eyes showed a slight change, but after a mont of hesitation, he still nodded:
"Understood!"....
