Three Kingdoms

Lu Bu's blood was surging from the killing, and his murderous intent was boiling. His face covered with blood looked a bit ferocious and terrifying. King Juqu Feiyun caught him at a very good time, leaving no time or space for Lu Bu to escape.

Fang Tianxiao in Lu Bu's right hand had just chopped down the two of them, and before he could take it back, the round shield in his left hand was blocking on the other side, and he couldn't free his hand for a while. In desperation, he could only turn slightly sideways. To avoid it, he used force on his leg and kicked the red rabbit horse's belly to the side.

The red rabbit horse on the crotch had the same mind as Lu Bu, and almost at the same time, it took a big step to one side. The sword cut by King Juqu Feiyun could not reach Lu Bu's neck, and could only "clang" A slash struck the scales on Lu Bu's shoulder, and then slashed down the armor, creating a streak of sparks!

King Juqu Fei Yun struck out with a powerful and heavy sword, flying off several scales and severing Lu Bu's shirt and belt. If he didn't have a sophisticated armor to protect him, he would have been seriously injured this time, but unfortunately, Ju King Fei Yun made countless calculations, but he failed to calculate the defensive capabilities of Lu Bu's armor...

A delicate sachet fell into the blood and yellow dust along with the broken robe and scale fragments...

Lu Bu saw it at a glance, and immediately became furious. He howled and raised his hand and threw the round shield in his hand, knocking down another Xianbei man who rushed at him from the front. Then he freed his hand and held Fang Tianhua with both yin and yang. The long handle of the halberd suddenly turned around, completely ignoring the second slash from King Juqu Feiyun, and slashed the head of King Juqu Feiyun with his head!

King Juqu Fei Yun's face turned blue. His sword would naturally be faster than Lu Bu's Fang Tianhua Halberd. But the problem was that when he hit it with the sword before, it only cut through a piece of robe and cut off a few scales. At most, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment. Should he risk his life to see if the second sword could break Lu Bu's armor, or should he parry first and save his life?

In the midst of the lightning and flint, King Juqu Feiyun gave up.

King Juqu Feiyun changed the direction of his sword, trying to block Lu Bu's attack at this moment of intersection, so that he could escape Lu Bu's attack range...

However, Lu Bu's power exceeded King Juqu Feiyun's imagination. Lu Bu, who was equipped with a high bridge saddle and double stirrups, was even more terrifying in his display of power. King Juqu Feiyun's thin sword could not completely block Lu Bu's angry blow. Amidst the loud noise, not only Lu Bu was struck by The sword was knocked away, and at the same time, the sharp tip of Fang Tian's painted halberd was scratched on the side of the waist and leg. A long and huge wound was opened immediately, and blood spurted out!

King Juqu Fei Yun roared and swayed twice on the horse. If he hadn't reacted quickly and hugged the horse's neck, he might have fallen off the horse on the spot!

Even though he did not fall under his horse, King Fei Yun of Juqu was unable to fight anymore. Under the protection of his guards, he fled diagonally.

"Charge up! Kill them all! Kill them all!"

Lu Bu howled angrily, commanding his soldiers to pursue him. Fang Tian's painted halberd carried a sharp whistling sound and a blood-red cold light. Where he waved it, there was a bare knuckle and a piece of bloody remnant, along with half of it. With a shrill scream, it flew up into the sky for a long time, then spun around and fell down.

The few Xianbei people who had stayed behind rushed up with howls. Two spears pierced Lu Bu's throat, and a sword also hit Lu Bu's waist. Lu Bu turned slightly and quickly dodged the spears. Assassination, Fang Tian's painted halberd whizzed down, and two heads rose into the air. Almost at the same time, Lu Bu freed up a hand, and his fist with a gauntlet accurately hit the side of the sword. By the way, With a swing, the gauntlet swiped at the face of the knife-wielding Xianbei, and a large piece of the belt and flesh was immediately torn off. Even Lu Bu's eyeballs were almost hooked out by the scales on Lu Bu's gauntlet!

The horns sounded, the horses galloped, and the Han army's cavalry rolled and slapped like huge waves.

After King Fei Yun of Juqu was defeated, the Xianbei people's resistance quickly collapsed. Lu Bu held the Fang Tian Painting Halberd and roared like thunder. Where blood spattered, the Xianbei people were cut down to the ground one by one like grass.

...Here is the yawning dividing line...

On a high ground in the distance, a group of soldiers with different styles were arrayed, looking at the dusty battlefield in the distance.

One of the generals at the front, named Ang Gu, had a worried look on his face. He is a guard on the Kushan border and is naturally considered the boss in this area. However, among the officials of the entire Kushan Empire, he is only an inconspicuous and marginal figure.

Anggu is in his forties, with long hair shawl, a long face, a long beard, a high nose, and a pair of sharp blue eyes like an eagle. There is a scar on his face and several scars on his body. This is his medal, and it is also the cornerstone of his success in defeating several competitors and winning the position of city lord.

When King Juqu Feiyun of the Xianbei Division came with his people, Anggu was a little surprised and a little uneasy. The Kushan Empire is also falling apart internally, with major families and factions fighting with each other. Although the Kushan Empire is still sending troops to attack some small countries and tribes around it, and has achieved some victories, the actual gains are not much.

Anggu knew that there was a huge empire in the east, because his ancestors had followed the footsteps of King Kushan and fought a tragic war with the empire in the east...

Among the words passed down from his ancestors, hundreds of thousands of people fought in the desert and tens of thousands died on the battlefield. The empire to the east was so powerful that even the great King Kushan could not Retreat without defeat. That area with so many deaths is still called the Devil's Land, and it is the most evil and filthy place.

Although there may be some exaggeration in these words, they also illustrate the fact that the empire to the east is a powerful existence that can rival Kushan...

Anggu is already forty this year. He doesn't want trouble, let alone cause trouble.

But trouble still came.

Anggu was worried and took some men out of the city. On the one hand, he inspected the surrounding situation, and on the other hand, he also looked at the specific whereabouts of these barbarians. When he came here, he accidentally discovered that the Han people were attacking the group of barbarians...

When the group of barbarians came a few days ago, Anggu's eyes twitched. Sure enough, this group of barbarians not only brought chaos, but also attracted people from the empire to the east!

damn it!

"General, this is an insult to us! General, we cannot back down!"

The young man was afraid that the matter was not serious enough, so he roared at the top of his lungs.

"General, this matter is not something we can decide. We must report it to the Council of Elders before making a decision!"

The mature group is unwilling to take unnecessary risks and warned meaningfully.

"General..." Even the guard beside Anggu couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "General..."

"Huh?! Why, you have an idea too?" Ang Gu stared dissatisfied.

"No, General, I mean... it's raining..." The guard beside him was startled and said quickly.

"Ah?" Anggu looked up at the sky. He didn't know when the sky had turned gloomy. The clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and the wind stopped.

Anggu stretched out his hand to the sky, and a moment later, a huge raindrop hit his hand, causing a splash of water.

"General, those barbarians are dead..." Anggu's subordinates pointed to the battlefield ahead and said, "Even if we rush over at this time, it will be useless... What's more, it's going to rain now, in this weather. Isn’t fighting a court of death seeking death?”

"These barbarians are said to be ours! If we withdraw like this, what will the Han people over there think?" The Young Zhuang Faction is still shouting, "They have already hit us in the face. If we don't fight back, the Han people will Think we are timid and fearful! They will ride on our heads and shit in the future!"

"It's just a rumor! It's just a rumor! General, don't move! If it really causes a war between the two countries! The Council of Elders will not let us go easily!" The mature faction said, "It is impossible for the Han people to stay in this kind of weather for a long time. After a while It’s definitely gone, there’s no need for us to get involved…”

The rain began to gradually increase, pattering on the armor and robes.

Anggu waved his hand, "The rain is heavy... Such weather is not suitable for fighting... Even if we join, these barbarians will not fight with us... Let's go! Report everything that happens here to the elders hospital!"

Anggu glanced at the Young Masters on the side again, and added: "Of course, we can't just leave...leave our battle flag here! Warn this group of Han people! They have crossed the line!"

...Here is the dividing line between the Eight Sutras...

"What is written on it?" Lu Bu's men who were cleaning the battlefield found the battle flag left by the Kushan people and handed it to Lu Bu. Lu Bu looked over it, but couldn't understand it.

On the battle flag, there is an animal drawn like a ghostly symbol, with teeth and claws. On the edge of the flag, there are some symbols with seven crutches or eight crutches, or words...

Wei Xu looked on and scratched his head, "Does this look like an eagle? Look at the hook on its beak... but it also has such a big belly and four claws? How did it grow?"

"Is this the only thing? Where did you find it?" Lu Bu threw the flag to Wei Xu, then turned to ask the scout.

The scout wiped the rain off his face, then pointed his hand, "There is a hilltop right over there. When we went to check, we found that it was stuck on the ground, and there were some traces of people and horses... But the rain was heavy, It’s a little hard to identify, I can’t count how many people there are…”

"Could this Xianbei group have an ambush?" Lu Bu pondered, "But it started to rain and they retreated? No wonder these Xianbei groups still have the courage to fight against us... It turns out they should be here... Let's go and have a look!"

Lu Bu, who has always been very courageous, not only was not afraid, but also happily led the people to the top of the hill, climbed the mountain, and then looked into the distance. Although the rain was heavy, through the rain and fog, some figures could still be seen vaguely moving on the original battlefield. Presumably, if it hadn't rained, the movements on the battlefield would have been visible.

"But why didn't we attack?" Lu Bu turned his head and asked Jiang Jiandao without caring, letting the rain flow on his face, because Lu Bu also knew that asking Wei Xu would not get anything out of the question.

"Did the Xianbei people lose too quickly?" Jiang Ji frowned slightly, also thinking, "Or maybe there was some other reason... but they left this flag... on purpose? It means that this place belongs to them. Territory, or are you demonstrating against us?”

"Tch~" Lu Bu grinned disdainfully, "Isn't this just like a puppy urinating and occupying the ground? If you put up a flag, it will be theirs? Haha..."

Wei Xu laughed, "If you put it this way, if I put a flag on the door of his house, would his house be considered my own?"

Jiang Ji chuckled and did not answer.

"Colonel Bai was here before, right?" Lu Bu stroked the beard on his chin. He didn't have much beard on his chin, but his temples were quite long, and he had a unique style. "That cotton, I got it from this place. of?"

Jiang Ji nodded, shook his head and said, "Colonel Bai should have been here...but it's not clear whether he got the cotton here..."

In fact, this place is just a transit station on the Silk Road, and it is still within the scope of the Western Regions, and it is not the territory of Kushan. And it wasn't the farthest city Baique had reached back then, but Lu Bu, Jiang Ji and others didn't know these things very well.

After the battle between Kushan and the Han Dynasty, Kushan withdrew from the Western Regions. However, as the strength of the Han Dynasty diminished, Kushan extended its tentacles to the Western Regions again. However, due to Kushan's own reasons, it was no longer possible. There was no way to advance eastward, but it was just like an outpost, leaving part of the army and troops here as a declaration of sovereignty.

Most of the Western Regions are small countries, and many of them are simply one city or two cities. Therefore, when they met Lu Bu and others, they all thought that the Han Dynasty was about to make a comeback. Without understanding the specific situation, these The small countries in the Western Region are all obedient and greet each other with smiles.

"Then...should we continue moving forward?" Wei Xu asked.

Lu Bu glanced at Wei Xu and said, "Of course! Keep going! Are you afraid of just a broken flag like this?"

Wei Xu immediately jumped up and stared, saying, "How could I ever be afraid!"

Lu Bu laughed, patted Wei Xu on the shoulder, and said, "Ban Ding could walk far back then, so why can't I walk? I want to see if the guy who planted this flag has three heads and six arms!"

As the newly appointed Protector of the Western Regions, Lu Bu's first thing was naturally to inspect his own territory. Some so-called small countries were just like grass on the wall. When they saw Lu Bu coming, they fell down and exposed their bellies. This made Lu Bu feel that The guy was too well-behaved, and he was too embarrassed to be cruel. Finally, he caught a little bit of trouble, and he felt a little interested...

And for Lu Bu, if he doesn't kill some tough enemies and establish a reputation, how can he re-erect the banner of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions?

As a result, the sudden appearance of this strange flag in the territory of the Western Region, especially the strange flag that appeared on the territory that Lu Bu thought was his own, not only did not dissipate Lu Bu's motivation to explore, but actually stimulated Lu Bu's desire to move forward... …
