Chapter 176: Can the arrogant Guan Yu also win an Oscar

Hongnong Commandery, Shan County (Sanmenxia), Maojin Ferry,

At this time,

snow was falling heavily, and everywhere was a vast expanse of white.

It should have been a good day to hide at home, drinking small wine and hugging one's wife, but the Luoyang commoners were braving the wind and snow to cross the Yellow River.

Their homes had already been burned, and the Luoyang commoners were constantly greeting Dong Zhuo's eighteen generations of family!

Jia Kui looked at the dense crowd of Luoyang commoners with worry,

"My lord, the commoners are crossing the pontoon bridge too slowly; I fear it will be difficult to finish crossing before the Xiliang soldiers arrive."

Zhao Zilong, Zhang Liao, Xu Rong, and others all looked over.

Although Zhang Liao and Xu Rong hadn't followed Liu Bei for long, they already recognized this lord from the bottom of their hearts.

These days, what they heard most was the gratitude and praise of the commoners.

This was something they couldn't even imagine when they were under Dong Zhuo and suffered all kinds of cold eyes.

Zhang Liao cupped his hands,

"My lord, you take the commoners across the river first; I will cover the rear!"

Xu Rong also cupped his hands and asked to cover the rear.

Liu Bei waved his hand,

"No need for that; there are still tens of thousands of commoners who haven't crossed the river. Protecting the commoners is our duty; the Xiliang soldiers are just defeated generals—it doesn't matter!"

Everyone felt moved by the "530" righteousness of the Lord!

Liu Bei looked around,

and Gao Shun, Xu Huang, and others also led troops to arrive.

"Xu Rong, most of your soldiers are infantry, so guard near the ferry; after the commoners cross the river, you all hurry across the river too."

"Understood!"

"Gao Shun, the Trapping Battalion will also guard the ferry; I suspect the Xiliang soldiers will charge at the commoners, intending to disrupt us."

Everyone was shocked,

and Zhao Zilong cursed,

"Dong Zhuo is shameless to the extreme; he can even do this kind of thing."

Everyone knew, however, that Dong Zhuo would definitely do such a thing!

Liu Bei continued,

"Gongming, you lead two thousand cavalry to support Gao Shun's Trapping Battalion; you must not let the Xiliang soldiers charge at the commoners."

"Understood!"

"Liangdao, you take people to be responsible for the order of crossing the river; if there is anyone taking advantage of the situation to disrupt, don't hesitate—kill!"

"Understood!"

"Yunchang, Yide, Zilong, Wen Yuan, you follow me to meet these defeated Xiliang soldiers!"

"Understood!"

"Report—!"

A scout drove his horse over, panting,

"My lord, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Xiu are leading 30,000 elite iron cavalry, and they will arrive near the Maojin Ferry in less than three hours!"

Zhang Fei shouted loudly,

"Big Brother, let me be the vanguard and kill all these chaotic Xiliang soldiers!"

Liu Bei waved his hand,

"Our army has traveled a long distance and has already fought several battles; these 30,000 men of Guo Si are fresh troops and are all elite cavalry; their numbers are greater than ours, so it's not easy to fight hard, and I estimate that Dong Zhuo definitely didn't just send these people over."

Liu Bei looked into the distance, his gaze falling on the more than one hundred carts of wealth that Guan Yu had snatched back, and he had a plan in his heart.

The comments in the broadcast room increased,

"What is Liu Bei thinking? Is he still caring about money at this time?"

"The Big-Eared Thief's eyes are a bit evil; could it be that he wants to bribe the Xiliang soldiers with money?"

"Just came from the Indian broadcast room; Liu Bei is miserable this time—the other side has 70,000 people, and he has less than 20,000!"

"Li Ru is too ruthless; he knows Liu Bei cannot abandon these Luoyang commoners and wants to drag him to death!"

"Let's see how the Big-Eared Thief faces it; don't fall short of success for lack of a final effort!"

"The simp Lu Bu has put in all his effort to snatch back Diao Chan!"
