Chapter 812
At the same time.
Dong Zhuo finally arrived at Hulao Pass. After learning that Sishui Pass had been broken, he was directly furious.
He immediately flipped the table.
"Trash, all of you are trash! You couldn't even defend a Sishui Pass. What's the use of keeping you? Someone, drag them all out and behead them for me!"
Looking at Guo Si, Li Jue, and the others kneeling below, Dong Zhuo was clearly truly angry, threatening to behead Guo Si, Li Jue, and the others.
However, these old Xiliang generals all understood that although Dong Zhuo was fierce, he wouldn't kill old generals.
He was very lenient toward these confidants he had brought from Xiliang. Even if they lost a pass, it wouldn't reach the point of immediate beheading.
These were all just angry words said in the moment, waiting for someone to come out and plead for them.
"My Lord, please think twice."
"Now the coalition forces are powerful and have many siege engines. General Guo and General Li couldn't defend Sishui Pass, but they did their best."
Li Ru understood Dong Zhuo's temperament and immediately stood out to plead for Guo Si, Li Jue, and the others, which could also be considered giving Dong Zhuo a way out.
"My Lord, spare our lives! The strategist is right, we really couldn't defend it, but we brought back all the Xiliang Iron Cavalry without losing them to the enemy. Please, My Lord, spare our lowly lives so we can make amends with future service."
Guo Si, Li Jue, and the others also knew Dong Zhuo's temperament and hurriedly knelt to beg for mercy.
"Hmph! For the sake of Wenyou pleading for you, I will spare your lives this time."
Dong Zhuo's expression softened slightly upon hearing that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry hadn't suffered much loss, and he scanned the crowd: "Then next, the target of those rats is Hulao Pass. Do you have any countermeasures?"
"My Lord, the Art of War says: 'Victory leads to arrogance, and arrogant troops will surely be defeated.'"
"The coalition forces' first victory may not be a good thing. Their guard tonight will surely be lax. Therefore, I suggest that tonight we let a general lead a surprise force to raid the coalition and destroy their siege engines."
"As long as there are no siege engines, no matter how powerful their coalition is, they will not be able to take Hulao Pass."
The person speaking was Li Ru.
At this moment, only he could clearly see the situation.
"Good! Wenyou's words are excellent. Tonight, send a surprise force to raid those rats. I wonder which general dares to take on this task?"
Dong Zhuo's angry eyes scanned his generals again.
Guo Si, Li Jue, and the others had just suffered a major defeat and had been scared by the coalition, so naturally, they didn't dare to ask for the order easily.
Especially since they knew there was an expert in the coalition who not only killed Hua Xiong but also shot and killed Li Su, and whose strength was extremely terrifying, making them fearful. How could they dare to go and die?
The other Xiliang martial generals who hadn't participated in Sishui Pass were also somewhat fearful.
After all, it was a surprise raid, which meant fighting many with few, and one could easily fall into a trap.
When everyone looked at each other and no one dared to step forward.
A person beside Dong Zhuo stepped out, wearing a seven-colored purple feather crown, a dragon-patterned battle robe, a tiger-beast swallowing cloud armor, and a barbarian beast treasure belt at his waist. His sharp-angled face revealed an arrogance that looked down on the world. It was Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, known as unparalleled in the world.
"Fengxian is willing to share the worries for my foster father. I only need ten thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry to raid the coalition and destroy their siege engines. I will surely make the coalition know the name of Lu Bu!"
As soon as Lu Bu's arrogant voice came out, all the generals were shocked.
This was the undisputed number one fierce general in the Three Kingdoms.
In any game, his setting upon appearance was basically an absolute big boss, an object that could not be defeated without a gang-up.
Every word and action exuded arrogance.
