Chapter 440 2 Kansai Allied Forces! Hao Zhao Suppresses the Bones at Chencang!
Chapter 440 2 Kansai Allied Forces! Hao Zhao Suppresses the Bones at Chencang!
Chapter 440 Two Hundred Thousand Guanxi Allied Army! Hao Zhao Suppresses the Bones at Chencang! Dust flies, yellow sand stretches for thousands of miles.
The climate in Liangzhou is very dry, just like Ma Chao's.
At this moment, his moves seemed rather dry to Lu Bu!
After thirty rounds, Ma Chao was panting heavily.
Only by truly fighting him can one know just how strong Lü Bu really is!
What's more, this is Lu Bu in a state of rage!
Ma Chao's tiger-headed golden spear danced in the air.
But every shot felt like hitting cotton; it couldn't break through any of Lü Bu's defenses.
"If this is all you're capable of, then you're truly a piece of trash!"
Lu Bu glanced indifferently at Ma Chao.
Ma Chao was furious.
In this tiny corner of Liangzhou, apart from Yan Xing, I am the embodiment of invincibility!
So you call me a piece of trash?
pity.
Even if you're extremely angry, it's completely useless.
Every battle Lü Bu experienced was a testament to his hard-won combat skills.
His martial arts skills had long been cultivated to a level that ordinary people could not reach.
not to mention.
After arriving in Liangzhou, Lü Bu gave up lust and alcohol.
Under Chen Gong's urging, he was reborn like a demon.
A man at forty is in his prime.
Said without politeness.
Lu Bu has now reached new heights, his martial arts skills are even stronger than before!
Ma Chao, although his martial arts skills were also quite good.
But compared to the disciplined and furious Lü Bu, he is far inferior.
"Boom!"
Lü Bu brought this pointless farce to an end.
His full-force halberd strike sent Ma Chao flying off the sand!
If this were on a battlefield, Ma Chao would surely be dead by now.
"Whoo~"
Lu Bu felt the breaths coming from his chest.
Teaching Ma Chao a lesson was just an appetizer.
His future opponents are those guys from Cao Cao's camp!
Talk about it.
Under Su Yu's manipulation, the "King of the Sixth Place".
No one in Cao Cao's camp had ever actually fought Lü Bu one-on-one.
Every time it's either a lie, a sneak attack, or a gang attack!
Knowing the lack of martial ethics in Cao Cao's camp, Lü Bu didn't expect to be able to fight Cao Cao's generals one-on-one.
He needs to hone his skills to take on two, or even three opponents at once!
"Brother, are you okay?"
Ma Dai, like a devoted follower, stepped forward to help Ma Chao up.
The concern in his eyes seemed somewhat strange.
Ma Chao, who had been knocked to the ground by Lü Bu, gritted his teeth fiercely as he felt the intense pain coursing through his body.
Upon seeing this, Han Sui quickly spoke up:
"General Lü has won this contest."
"Mengqi, are you alright?"
"Would you like one of my army doctors to come and take a look at you?"
Ma Chao said coldly:
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious, no need for Uncle Han to worry."
Ma Chao was furious that his attempt to show off had failed.
But no matter how angry he gets, it's no use.
At this moment, he did not have the ability to kill Lü Bu.
Next.
The alliance meeting was officially held.
Ma Chao lost to Lü Bu and was too embarrassed to compete for the position of leader of the alliance.
But he then spoke:
"Uncle Han is highly respected and virtuous. I believe that the position of leader of the alliance should be held by Uncle Han."
Lu Bu looked at Ma Chao with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Ma Chao shrank back, but still did not back down.
Han Sui smiled, knowing that Ma Chao was trying to provoke a conflict between him and Lü Bu.
However, Han Sui had no intention of relinquishing the position of leader of the alliance to Lü Bu.
As everyone knows, the Allied Forces are a coalition of forces, and everyone who comes to participate in them is extremely cunning.
The earliest examples can be traced back to the anti-Dong Zhuo coalition.
Although Han Sui did not participate in the coalition against Dong Zhuo.
However, Han Sui had heard about some of the questionable actions of the warlords in Guandong.
Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, subsequently became one of the fastest-growing warlords.
At present, there is practically no trust between Han Sui, Ma Chao, and Lü Bu.
The allocation of the leadership position directly affects the subsequent distribution of benefits.
Thinking of this, Han Sui smiled and said:
"Meng Qi is right."
"I am unworthy, but I humbly request to serve as the leader of the Kansai Allied Army."
"General Lü, do you have any objections?"
Lu Bu snorted unhappily.
He is at a disadvantage in a two-on-one situation.
Chen Gong laughed repeatedly:
"General Han was known as the timely rain in Liangzhou." (This wasn't a title exclusive to Song Jiang.)
"It is the will of the people to hand over the position of leader of the alliance to General Han."
"But now that we have formed an alliance here, why not extend invitations to other warlords of Liangzhou, such as Li Kan, Cheng Yin, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng?"
Han Sui laughed loudly:
"As it should be."
"We have formed a coalition to punish the traitor Cao Cao, restore the Han Dynasty, and rescue His Majesty."
"Many hands make light work."
"After I become the leader of the alliance, I will personally write letters and send them to the heroes of Liangzhou, inviting them to join the coalition."
Chen Gong cursed Han Sui inwardly for being cunning and treacherous.
The subtext of Han Sui's words seemed to be, "Become my leader, and I'll bring you even more followers."
If you won't make me the leader, then I'll just become an actor!
"Hahaha, please take the seat of honor, Alliance Leader Han."
Chen Gong waved to Han Sui and led him to the spot where Lü Bu had been sitting.
Lu Bu was somewhat displeased.
However, he always directly adopted Chen Gong's suggestions.
Especially after so many years of going through thick and thin together, without Chen Gong, Lü Bu would not be able to survive.
Han Sui quickly fulfilled his promise.
There were nearly twenty feudal lords, large and small, in Liangzhou.
The larger groups had tens of thousands of men under their command, while the smaller groups had three or four thousand. All of them received invitation letters sent by Han Sui.
People often have a herd mentality.
The same was true of the minor warlords in Liangzhou.
Pulled around and moved the whole body.
Except for a very few small vassal states that remain neutral due to their remote locations.
Nearly 90% of the feudal lords responded to Han Sui's call and joined the "Guanxi Coalition".
The combined forces of these minor warlords, along with those of Han Sui, Ma Chao, and Lü Bu, numbered nearly 200,000!
Chen Gong waved his hand and falsely claimed to the outside world that it was 400,000.
The news shook the world.
Xiahou Yuan in Chang'an urgently prepared for war, sending all 50,000 troops from the Guanzhong region to the border.
The most strategically important stronghold, besides Tongguan, was Chencang.
As the saying goes, "Openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass."
From the beginning of the Chu-Han Contention, Chencang was an important stronghold and a strategic location fought over by military strategists.
Originally, Xiahou Yuan planned to leave Hao Zhao to guard Tongguan.
However, Hao Zhao believed that Tongguan was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Just as crucial as Tongguan, Chencang was equally important and could not be lost.
Therefore, Hao Zhao volunteered to become the garrison commander of Chencang, strengthen the city's defenses, and transform Chencang into a military fortress in the shortest possible time.
Because border areas need to be guarded.
Xiahou Yuan could only allocate 5,000 men to Hao Zhao in the short term.
But Hao Zhao believes that 5,000 people are enough!
As long as the defense is in place, even if the enemy has an army of 400,000, Hao Zhao will definitely be able to stop them outside Chencang!
