Chapter 532

Although Bai Lang read the letter, he could not go directly. And did CaoCao really need him to defeat Lu Bu? What kind of person Lu Bu was, could Bai Lang not know? "Profit-seeking, light, cunning, and repetitive. Although he has the courage of a tiger, he lacks the strategy of a hero. He has a Chen Gong but cannot use him. To say Lu Bu can win for a while is of course true. This fellow's mounted combat is the best in the world, but to want him to keep winning? Impossible."

In the final analysis, it was a problem. Lu Bu's brain was not good, too stupid, and greedy for profit. Originally, his IQ was not high, and he was blinded by greed, so it was very normal for him to do stupid things. Moreover, his high martial arts skills brought him a simple and crude way of doing things... He killed two foster fathers one after another, making his reputation a mess, which was an example.

"This world is ultimately a world of strategy and the ability to lead troops... Although a fierce general can tear through formations and trample thousands of troops, how many such fierce generals are there? And they will be blocked by chaotic arrows. Even if the soldiers don't care about life and death and form a formation, they can block them. After all, the end of a strong crossbow cannot pierce a Lu silk." Bai Lang let those people go down, sat on a folding chair, and thought. This was a new type of furniture Bai Lang created. He further raised it from the Hu bed and made a backrest.

He was recalling how much Lu Bu's ability to lead troops differed from CaoCao's. It seemed that both were in the nineties. CaoCao was probably ninety-nine, and Lu Bu could have ninety-five. However, both had fought lost battles, and Lu Bu had fought more. After being defeated in Chang'an city, Lu Bu was like a stray dog, joining everywhere. The number of people under him was always more than Bai Lang's, but this posture of joining was too low, it seemed. Bai Lang remembered that he also often fought lost battles...

"How many lost battles have I fought? I always feel that I haven't fought a winning battle here? No, breaking the Yellow Turbans counts as one, fighting the Black Mountain bandits counts as one, but I haven't really won against these lords, have I?" Bai Lang felt that he was not a stray dog, because he had never "joined" anyone. "I am free!" This fellow could only use this to comfort himself.

Bai Lang's reputation was at least much better than Lu Bu's. His name for loyalty and righteousness was known throughout the world. Even if he was staying in a small city in Qing Province now, there were still many forces that wanted him to serve. Go to Yan Province to help CaoCao? Bai Lang did not think about refusing. After all, he had told Xiahou Dun that if there was anything, he should come to him. Words spoken could not be treated as farts.

But the new news was that LiuBei, Liu Xuande, was now the acting Governor of Xuzhou, because Tao Qian died. Before he died, he begged LiuBei to take over as Governor of Xuzhou, and the local forces also respectfully invited Liu Xuande to take the position. "Liu Xuande getting Xuzhou easily is also a good thing. Xuande is more than enough to govern a region, unlike me." Bai Lang also sent a letter of congratulations, which his cavalry sent. Wherever the White Tiger Flag went, not many dared to block the road.

Actually, CaoCao really didn't need to find Bai Lang, because not only did he have Dian Wei, but recently Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang, also joined him. This fellow's martial arts were probably even above the Xiahou brothers, probably only half a step behind Dian Wei. In mounted combat, he was probably the best in Cao's camp. Later, he could fight Ma Chao without falling behind. With these people plus the Xiahou and Cao families, Bai Lang felt that blocking Lu Bu didn't seem like much.

At least he felt that he might not be able to break through the interception of these people. However, Lu Bu still had the Eight Generals. Among them, Zhang Liao would later be the head of the Five Generals, and even Gao Shun was not below Zhang Liao. These eight people could at least hold off the Xiahou brothers, the Cao brothers, LiDian, and Yue Jin. Therefore, the ones intercepting Lu Bu were Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who should also be able to hold him off... Bai Lang thought about this, but he still set off.

Summoning more than a hundred cavalry and more than two hundred infantry around him, Bai Lang never liked to grab people everywhere to fill as soldiers, so the number of troops under him always changed. This was different from Lu Bu, who was also wandering. Lu Bu was said to have tens of thousands of soldiers now. Bai Lang walked slowly. CaoCao's slaughter of Xuzhou had already made Bai Lang feel uncomfortable. Although he didn't blink when killing in battle, he didn't do the business of slaughtering innocent people.

CaoCao's behavior, plus his true nature of being generous on the outside but actually cold on the inside, made Bai Lang gradually feel uncomfortable. "The change in status, this person has naturally changed." Bai Lang sighed on his horse, but no one could hear him. No matter how slow a small army marched, it was much faster than a ten-thousand-man army. However, before Bai Lang arrived, CaoCao had already defeated Lu Bu twice in Yan Province and Puyang, recapturing Yan Province and Puyang, and Lu Bu's army had retreated to defend Dingtao.

After Bai Lang arrived, he saw Cao Mengde, "Mengde, it seems you have already defeated Lu Bu without me. My coming here is just adding flowers to the brocade." How could CaoCao let Bai Lang say this and then run away? He immediately held a big banquet and a small banquet to win over Bai Lang. The generals of Cao's camp took turns to persuade him. If it weren't for the fact that it was not good to use force to coerce him, CaoCao would probably have held a knife directly and said, "Will you join or not?" Bai Lang had a new look at the many strategists in Cao's camp.

From the short-lived ghost Xi Zhicai to Guo Jia, from Xun Ling's Gou Huo to his nephew Gou You, all the way to other fellows, it seemed that they were a bit out of sync when communicating with Bai Lang. Bai Lang knew their ways, but his brain didn't turn as fast as theirs, and he didn't want to turn it fast, so he just laughed. Not long after, CaoCao attacked the city, and Bai Lang directly intercepted Lu Bu, who was coming out of the city. As soon as Lu Bu saw Bai Lang, he cursed, "What are you doing here? I am fighting CaoCao for Yan Province, what does it have to do with you?"

This made Bai Lang really have nothing to reply. It was not good to say that I am just a stirrer, right? So Bai Lang smiled, "Just seeing a hunter and being happy. In the world, besides Wenhou, who can fight me?" After saying this, Lu Bu on the opposite side reined in his Red Hare horse. He looked at Bai Lang and smiled, "Ha ya, that makes sense! Under the sky, besides Bai Yuzhu, who can fight me?!"

After speaking, Lu Bu urged Red Hare, danced his painted halberd, and killed him. At this moment, Lu Bu did not think about the plan to break CaoCao's army. In his eyes, there was only Bai Lang, who was coming head-on with a long spear. Bai Lang also laughed and met Lu Bu. The long spear and the painted halberd collided fiercely, and the next moment, they directly exploded with soaring Qi. Bai Lang leaped from his warhorse, seemingly transforming into a fierce tiger pouncing down in mid-air, while Lu Bu, man and horse as one, was directly wrapped in black-red burning purple thunder Qi, his whole person becoming like a ghost and god.

The fierce tiger and the ghost and god fought together. Within dozens of zhang, the wild wind and violent thunder could not be approached by anyone. When these two fought, the sky was also covered with dark clouds, and purple thunder flashed. The change in celestial phenomena was probably something only these two could do with the aftermath. "Get out!", "Don't bother me!" These two roared almost at the same time. Lu Bu used a halberd to shock Xu Chu, man and horse, away, while Bai Lang kicked Dian Wei out of the battle circle. These two were ready to attack Lu Bu together, but they didn't expect to be kicked away by Bai Lang and Lu Bu at the same time.

Since Lu Bu was like this, the Eight Generals under his command also seemed to have transformed into ghosts and gods. Under Lu Bu's encouragement, they led their own soldiers to kill crazily. Similarly, Bai Lang also aroused the fighting spirit of Cao's generals. Watching the fierce battle between these two, they also roared and met the fierce attack of the Eight Generals.
