Chapter 531

Liu Xuande led his army here, among which the elite cavalry were the White Horse cavalry borrowed from Gongsun Zan, led by ZhaoYun. This time, Bai Lang brought his three hundred cavalry to move the camp in, and he was also personally led by LiuBei to arrange the camp, and he also saw GuanYu and ZhangFei. These two also had an exchange after seeing Bai Lang. GuanYu did not say much, and after saying two words to Bai Lang, he had nothing to say, while ZhangFei mostly wanted to drag Bai Lang to drink...

For Bai Lang's reputation for courage, these two also acknowledged it. Not to mention anything else, just Hangu Pass alone had established Bai Lang's image of being loyal to the Han Dynasty and peerless in fierceness. Xuande pulled Bai Lang to a young man with a broad face, heavy ears, and a height of eight feet, "This is ZhaoYun, Zhao Zilong, currently under Gongsun BoGui." Bai Lang looked at this young man who was a bit shorter than him, "Silver Spear White Horse Zhao Zilong, definitely not some fair-faced young man, but also a fierce man."

The weapon ZhaoYun used was a bright silver spear. The spear blade was not as large as Bai Lang's, so it seemed his martial arts were mostly based on stabbing and sweeping. In mounted combat, he was probably quite strong. GuanYu and ZhangFei's martial arts were much stronger now than when they met last time. Guan and Zhang were originally 'ten-thousand-man enemies', but in the past, they should have been quite green and unable to unfold their skills. Now they were completely unleashed. Bai Lang then competed with them in the camp.

In mounted combat, it was now very difficult for him to knock down either Guan or Zhang. Either one of them could fight Bai Lang back and forth, and if both were on him, they could even suppress Bai Lang a bit. Among Guan and Zhang, ZhangFei, Zhang Yide, was better at mounted combat, and ZhaoYun was only slightly inferior to ZhangFei, and not much weaker than GuanYu. In terms of technique, he was enough to fight Bai Lang. "How does Xuande have so many fierce generals following him..." Bai Lang also sighed secretly.

In foot combat, Bai Lang was still transcendent and peerless. Even with Guan and Zhang on him, he could suppress them alone, but if they fought individually, they were only one or two points weaker than him. "It seems that when martial arts reach this level, the advantage of simple numbers is no longer great." This martial arts demonstration made many soldiers intoxicated. In the end, Bai Lang still overpowered the heroes. Lang's martial courage in this world was probably only comparable to Wenhou Lu Bu.

Speaking of Lu Bu, Lu Bu's recent situation came out...

First, LiuBei wrote a letter willing to mediate between Tao Qian and CaoCao, and CaoCao gave LiuBei face and withdrew his troops. However, when CaoCao withdrew his troops, he also let Xiahou Dun see Bai Lang. Bai Lang did not mind the previous great battle at all. It seemed Xiahou Dun was the same, not taking the fact that he almost died in Bai Lang's hands to heart, directly sending many things to Bai Lang, and very openly said to Bai Lang, and Liu Xuande also heard it.

"Zhang Miao rebelled, leading Lu Bu to have already raided and broken Yan Province. Mengde now only has Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fan County in his hands. Now he has no choice but to retreat, which is helpless." When he said this, he also glared fiercely at Xuzhou city. Everyone present did not say anything. CaoCao's father was also his relative, and Tao Qian's failure to restrain his subordinates was Tao Qian's fault. Bai Lang also held Xiahou's hand, "If there is any place where I need to exert effort, Yuanrang and Miaocai must tell me."

CaoCao withdrew his troops, and LiuBei certainly could not take the opportunity to slaughter them. And Bai Lang had also abandoned the small city of Yuanwu this time, and now he had to find another place to settle down. LiuBei was favored by the Xuzhou group, and Tao Qian ceded it several times, but LiuBei firmly refused. However... at the Xuzhou banquet attended by Kong Rong, Tian Kai, Bai Lang, and LiuBei, Tao Qian and Kong Rong, along with the officials and scholars of Xuzhou, persuaded him again. As a result, Yunchang said, "Since you have accepted Tao Gong's cession, brother, you should temporarily lead the state affairs." ZhangFei said, "It's not that I forced him to cede the state; he offered it out of good intentions, why decline so bitterly!"

Xuande just would not allow it. Bai Lang laughed on the side, then incidentally poured himself wine. Tao Qian said, "If Xuande must not follow, there is a nearby city called Xiaopei, enough to station troops. Please Xuande temporarily station troops in this city to protect Xuzhou. How about that?" Everyone persuaded Xuande to stay in Xiaopei, and Xuande followed. Tao Qian also wanted to keep Bai Lang, but Bai Lang just laughed loudly, "Don't talk about me. Xuande governing a region is a great good official. Someone like me... better go to Sili to find another place."

ZhaoYun said goodbye, and Xuande sent him off with tears. Kong Rong and Tian Kai also left. Bai Lang also went north. Near Kong Rong's North Sea, there was a small city, and Bai Lang prepared to stay in Qing Province for a few days. He really had not decided whether to join LiuBei. Bai Lang felt he should still be free for a while. If his subordinate cavalry wanted to join LiuBei, Bai Lang would never stop them, and in fact, before leaving, he did recommend more than a hundred cavalry to Xuande.

Xuande was originally short of elite cavalry, so he held Bai Lang and parted reluctantly, very unwilling to let Bai Lang leave. "Lord Xuande, we are in troubled times, and our lives are like duckweed. Although we drift with the tide, there may be a day when we meet again in the future." These words had no persuasiveness. You, Bai Lang, have nothing to do, why not stay at LiuBei's place? Of course, LiuBei also knew that this was purely Bai Lang's wandering knight habits acting up...

"Bai Yuzhu still has the heart of an innocent child..." This was what Chen Deng said, but it was just that Bai Lang still had a child's temper.

CaoCao returned his army. Lu Bu did not listen to Chen Gong's words and did not ambush Cao's army on the Taishan road. The result was that CaoCao set up camp outside Puyang city. However, Lu Bu's courage was truly "peerless" in the world. He personally led the Eight Generals to charge and kill, defeating Cao's army in one battle, forcing Cao's army to retreat thirty or forty miles to set up camp. Then there was a night raid. CaoCao won first and lost later. If not for Dian Wei's fierce battle, Cao's army would have already been routed. Finally, the rain poured down, and both sides withdrew their troops.

Next, Chen Gong used a strategy to trick CaoCao into Puyang. CaoCao was defeated and almost died. However, CaoCao later faked his death to lure Lu Bu into an ambush, also defeating Lu Bu in a small battle. That year, locusts suddenly rose, eating all the rice and grain. In the Guandong region, every 'hu' of grain was worth fifty 'guan' of money, and people ate each other. Because the rations in the army were exhausted, CaoCao led his troops back to Juancheng to stay temporarily. Lu Bu also led his troops to station in Shanyang to eat. Therefore, both places temporarily stopped fighting.

After CaoCao stopped fighting, he also sighed, "If Bai Yuzhu also came, what would I fear from Lu Bu." So he inquired about Bai Lang's whereabouts. He only knew that this person did not stay in Xuzhou, did not join LiuBei, and finally knew that he went to Qing Province.

In Qing Province, Bai Lang defeated the Yellow Turbans several times, destroying their formations by the hundreds. Dozens or hundreds of subordinates also came to join him, so Bai Lang had hundreds of soldiers by his side again. He was still that wandering knight, not paying any attention to governing the place, so in the end, he could not raise an army. This time, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, sent troops into Qing Province, and at the same time, he led a large army north, suppressing Gongsun Zan and preparing to finally eliminate Gongsun.

"Mengde is in Yan Province, still entangled with Lu Bu?" Bai Lang looked at the team that sent the letter and said. There were dozens of people here, all escorting the letter. "Lord Cao defeated Lu Bu several times, but Yan Province is in a great famine, so he has no choice but to split his troops and stop fighting." Bai Lang heard this and sighed, "The people are having a hard time." He looked at the letter. The meaning in the letter seemed to be seeking his help to fight Lu Bu...
