C20 Escape from the Water Pass

When Lu Bu saw Zhao Yun's stance, he knew that Zhao Yun was a formidable opponent. After hearing that the two of them were martial brothers, and that this person was even a senior brother, he could not help but inwardly complain. He had bumped into so many experts. Lu Bu was not a righteous person, he immediately turned around and wanted to escape.

"Senior!" He wants to run! " With that, Chen Ren raised the steel spear in his hand and threw it towards Lu Bu's back that had just turned around. Carrying an incomparable power, the spear was as fast as lightning as it flew towards Lu Bu.

Lu Bu could tell that this spear would not be easy to block. He had no choice but to turn around and use all his strength to block it.

"Clang!" With a loud sound, Lu Bu immediately felt a salty taste coming from his mouth. He forcefully resisted the urge to spit out blood, but a line of blood was slowly flowing out from the corner of his mouth. Lu Bu was no longer able to hold onto the halberd in his hands due to the immense recoil. Even the red rabbit horse he was sitting on was affected. Its four legs trembled and it was about to kneel on the ground.

While Chen Ren was throwing out his spear, Zhao Yun was driving his horse to catch up with him. The steel spear bounced back right in front of Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun didn't even look at it. He swung the silver spear and moved the steel spear to Chen Ren's side.

All of these things seemed to be a coincidence. Chen Ren and Zhao Yun had researched these moves when they were sent out by their masters to gain experience in the past few years. Everything had been calculated with extreme precision and a thousand times over.

Not to mention that after Chen Ren's attack, Lu Bu and the Crimson Rabbit Horse could no longer run. Seeing Zhao Yun catching up, they raised their silver spears and stabbed towards Lu Bu. Lu Bu did not even have the strength to defend himself. Even the halberd was held under his arm. Lu Bu looked at Zhao Yun's approaching figure and only had one thought in his mind: My life is over!

"Don't hurt Wen Hou!" At this critical moment, a long saber and a long spear had been placed in front of Lu Bu, blocking Zhao Yun's silver spear. Zhao Yun looked over and saw that the sabre wielding general had a goatee and the pike wielding general was a bearded general. The two of them rode their horses between Lu Bu and Zhao Yun.

"Zhang Liao, Zhang Wen Yuan!" The goatee general shouted.

"Gao Shun!" The bearded martial general said indifferently.

"Zang Ba!" "Hao Meng!" "Cao Yang!" "Cheng Lian!" "Wei Xun!" "Song Xian!" "Hou Cheng!

Seven more generals arrived to protect Lu Bu. At this moment, Chen Ren also arrived at Zhao Yun's side, looking at Lu Bu's number one general and eight strong warriors. He knew that if he wanted to kill Lu Bu, he wouldn't be able to.

"You want to kill Wen Hou!?" First step over our corpses! " Although Zhang Liao knew that he was no match for Chen Ren, he still looked fearlessly at Chen Ren and Zhao Yun. It seemed that the generals of the Acropolis Region were still very loyal to Lu Bu.

"Ding ding ding ding ding —!" Closing the bell sound was a signal to retreat.

Chen Ren glanced at the silhouette of the Marquis on the other side of the wall and smiled to Zhao Yun, "Seems like 'the Heavens' does not wish for us to succeed!"

Zhao Yun could be considered to have seen through the thoughts of these dukes after following Liu Bei for a period of time. He laughed at himself but did not speak.

"Alright!" Lu Fengxian! With a good horse and so many good men! I, Chen Ren, am impressed! " After saying that, Chen Ren gave Zhang Liao and Gao Shun a thumbs up, then turned around and led the Jiang Dong cavalry back to the pass, showing no fear towards the Nine Generals and the fifty thousand state army behind them.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun heaved a sigh of relief. At this time, Lu Bu had suffered a crushing defeat, causing the soldiers to lose all morale. Zhang Liao then asked Lu Bu, "Wen Hou, shall we withdraw?"

At this time, Lu Bu's face was pale, his pale handsome face nodded, and Zhang Liao immediately waved his hand, causing all of the soldiers to immediately retreat like the tides. Before leaving, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun both looked towards Chen Ren's back. They both knew in their hearts that if Chen Ren really wanted to massacre him, none of them would be a match for Chen Ren. In the end, all they could do was die to thank Marquis Wen for his kindness. But Chen Ren confidently turned around and left. He generously withdrew his troops. Whether it was in terms of martial arts or bearing, he had convinced them.

Looking at the chaotic state of the Wanzhou Army, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, and the others couldn't help but sigh. When Yuan Shao gave the order for the army to retreat, they were also shocked. The men smiled bitterly at each other. They couldn't help but sigh as they looked at Luoyang, thinking, "When will this guy's sky be clear?"

Over the next few days, Chen learned of the pain that celebrities suffered. Almost every day, people would come to visit, all of them carrying their gifts, looking at Chen Ren with burning eyes. In the end, some were threatening, some were enticing, and there were even some who directly sent four beauties to Chen Ren. Chen Ren almost drooled at the sight of that face and that figure. Unfortunately, he endured the pain and sent it back. Since he wanted to join this era's game, he had to follow the rules of this era. Accepting a beauty meant accepting the other party's invitation. He could only endure it!

He thought about following Sun Jian back to Jiangdong, the women in Jiangnan were gentle and cute, and the young family's pretty jade. Hm? Why did he think of Sun Shangxiang? That was an exception, an exception! My future wife will be gentle and virtuous!

"Son!" Are you there? " As Zhao Yun shouted, he opened the camp's door, only to see Chen Ren sitting alone on the ground, drooling. Zhao Yun was stunned. If anyone else were to see this, the image of the new war god in the minds of many would collapse.

"Ah!" "Third senior brother, you're here!" Chen Ren wiped off his saliva and welcomed Zhao Yun in.

Zhao Yun tried his best to forget about what just happened. He sternly said to Chen Ren, "I came to tell you about Chang Shan's birthday celebration!"

"Yes!" Chen Ren hurriedly said, "I was just about to talk to you about this too!"

Zhao Yun was once again speechless. He looked at the water stain on the corner of Chen Ren's mouth, it didn't seem like he was thinking about this just now. He was used to this Junior Martial Brother's personality. Zhao Yun didn't pay any more attention to him and only discussed with him for a while. Chen Ren had already achieved more than half of his goals in the Water Pass, so staying here would not be of much use. Now, he had to think about how to leave this place.

If they were to leave now, they would definitely be stopped by Yuan Shao. If they were to leave secretly, they would have to pay attention to their strategy. Now, it was the time for Chen Ren's three thousand cavalrymen to take effect. Chen Ren stretched out his right index finger and crooked his finger at Zhao Yun.

The next day, Gongsun Zan came to Yuan Shao's tent to ask for an audience.

Entering the tent, Gongsun Zan cupped his fist and bowed to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao looked at Gongsun Zen, his heart was filled with resentment. Ever since he fought with Lu Bu, Yuan Shao had taken a fancy to Chen Ren, a brave and fierce general. These days, he had been sending gifts to Gongsun Zen every day, but he was rejected by Chen Ren Wan. Hearing that the other nobles had also been rejected by Chen Ren, Yuan Shao felt a little better, but this Zhao Yun that Gongsun Zen had sent was Chen Ren's senior brother. Chen Ren went to Gongsun Zeng's tent every day, and now that Sun Jian was no longer in Gongsun Zen's tent, who knows when Gongsun Zeng might have given him the opportunity to send Chen Ren over to him.

If Chen Ren was still under Sun Jian's command, he wouldn't be a threat to Yuan Shao for the time being. However, Gongsun Zeng was the North Pingping Imperial Guard, and wasn't far from his own Bohai Sea. If Chen Ren was dug out by Gongsun Zeng, he would become a formidable opponent in the future! The problem was that everyone had their own justice, and Yuan Shao didn't dare to use force. Gongsun Zeng was one of the eighteen dukes, and he was also one of the stronger ones. Yuan Shao really couldn't do anything to him for no reason.

Gongsun Zan said to Yuan Shao: "Alliance head! A few days ago, Lu Bu was defeated and Dong Thief's army was delayed. "I think that Dong Thief may be afraid of our army and has already withdrawn to Luoyang. The allied forces are not really in a position to waste food and grass like this."

How could Yuan Shao not know what Gongsun Zan had said? Cao Cao had also privately analyzed the situation, and Cao Cao had given him the idea of joining with the eighteen town lords to go straight to Luoyang. However, the military strength of Dong Zhuo's army could be seen from the soldiers in the prefecture under Lu Bu's command. Furthermore, there was the Western Liangliang Army, which was even fiercer than the soldiers in the prefecture. The allied forces had their own ulterior motives. If they didn't run into Dong Zhuo's army in the wild, they really would have suffered a crushing defeat. Thus, Yuan Shao didn't dare take this risk.

"So, according to Gongsun Shou's intentions, what should I do?" Yuan Shao said in a bad mood. In his heart, he had already decided that if Gongsun Zeng suggested the same suggestion as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao would definitely not give Gongsun Zeng any face and would definitely reject him.

Gongsun Zan seemed to have already had an idea. He opened his mouth and replied, "Actually, I know about the Alliance Master's worries! However, this is not the end. I will take the initiative to request for the army to be the vanguard and head for Luoyang first! "

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up. This was a good idea! If Gongsun Zan didn't meet the army of Dong Zhuo in the wilderness, he would immediately lead them to surround Luoyang City. No matter how strong the army of Dong Zhuo was, the Allies would surround them and turn Luoyang into a lonely city. Moreover, with the Yuan family's fourth and third generation, as well as their network in Luoyang, it would not be impossible for them to break into Luoyang by attacking the city.

And if Gongsun Zan met the army of Dong Zhuo on the road and lost Gongsun Zan's own army, then he could come as the chief of the Alliance and ask Gongsun Zan to pave the way for the expansion of his territory in the future.

Yuan Shao rolled his eyes and thought of another benefit. If Gongsun Zeng left, he wouldn't be able to continue recruiting Chen Ren. His chances of recruiting Chen Ren had greatly increased as well. Yuan Shao was quite confident that with his charisma and prestige, he'd be absolutely much better than the other dukes in this perilous situation!
