"General... this... what halberd technique is this?" Lu Bu asked with a trembling voice.

Duan Yu smiled and said: "Want to learn?"

Lu Bu, on the horse, nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Lu Bu, as if possessed, vaulted off the warhorse Jade Dragon, then knelt on one knee and said: "General, Lu Bu... is convinced; this horse is the General's."

Duan Yu raised the Heaven-Dragon City-Breaking Halberd in his hand, passed it behind him, and then walked toward Lu Bu with his hands behind his back.

Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu were all stunned.

They stood in place, staring with wide eyes, unable to say a word for a long time.

Not only Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and the others, but even the generals beside Duan Yu were stunned.

There was no doubt that Duan Yu was powerful.

Everyone had witnessed Duan Yu's martial prowess.

The Battle of Danhan Mountain.

Duan Yu leaped into the Shuoqiu River alone to fight the Xianbei cavalry.

And Longshan, where he shot and killed three hundred bandits of Lishanfeng single-handedly.

In every battle, the combat power Duan Yu displayed was beyond reach.

But this move before them was something everyone was seeing for the first time.

Qiangqu felt terrible.

Looking at the table neatly cut in half before him, as well as the various gold and silver utensils on it.

If that Qi blast had moved forward another half meter,

It could have split him in two.

Is this still a human?

Can this Duan Yu still be called a human?

This kind of power.

This kind of halberd technique, is it something a human can possess?

Duan Yu walked to Lu Bu's side with his hands behind his back, looking down at Lu Bu, who was kneeling on one knee.

At this moment, Lu Bu was trembling all over.

Arrogance is not stupidity.

Lu Bu is arrogant.

He is spoiled.

Because Lu Bu considered his martial prowess to be unmatched.

But when he saw this move of Duan Yu's.

When he personally felt the feeling of brushing shoulders with death, Lu Bu was afraid.

If Duan Yu had just slashed out one more strike.

His end would only be one.

And that is to be split apart, man and horse alike.

Duan Yu looked at Lu Bu, who was kneeling on one knee, the smile on his face becoming even richer.

Actually, wanting to tame someone like Lu Bu is very simple.

The reason Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo couldn't tame Lu Bu wasn't just because of Lu Bu himself.

The reason Ding Yuan couldn't tame Lu Bu was because he didn't meet Lu Bu's expectations.

And the reason Dong Zhuo couldn't tame Lu Bu was because of his own personality problems, as well as Wang Yun's design.

Simple-minded people are often easier to tame.

The reason he kept Lu Bu by his side for so long was that he wanted to observe whether this person could be kept.

He wasn't worried about not being able to use Lu Bu.

Because in terms of his own strength, he could steadily suppress Lu Bu.

Just one opportunity, letting Lu Bu know the gap between the two of them.

Letting him be afraid and terrified from the bottom of his heart, he could steadily suppress him.

From Lu Bu's initial provocation that he didn't respond to, to the current suppression with a strike.

It was to let the arrogance in Lu Bu's heart accumulate to the peak, and then disperse it in one go.

And then...

Duan Yu's gaze turned to the warhorse Jade Dragon behind Lu Bu.

Then he smiled and said: "Do you like this horse?"

Lu Bu, upon hearing this, first looked up at Duan Yu, then reluctantly turned his head to look at the warhorse Jade Dragon.

"Bu likes it, but it is the General's."

"Since you like it, I'll gift it to you; it's what you deserve," Duan Yu said.

"Ah?"

Lu Bu, kneeling on the ground, looked surprised: "Gen... General..."

"Remember," Duan Yu narrowed his eyes and looked down at Lu Bu: "What I give you is yours."

"What I do not give you, you cannot have, and you must not even think about it."

"Today's matter, there is only one time; if there is a next time..."

Duan Yu didn't continue, but the meaning was already self-evident.

What I give you is yours; what I don't give you, you can't even covet!

Lu Bu turned his head with great excitement to look at the warhorse Jade Dragon, and then when he turned back, he nodded vigorously: "General, Bu understands."

"General... if the General does not abandon me, Bu is willing... Bu is willing to serve the General as master."

Duan Yu twitched the corner of his mouth.

Thinking to himself, good fellow.

Fortunately, you didn't say you wanted to serve me as a foster father.

Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to agree.

Duan Yu nodded and said: "Get up; don't kneel in front of outsiders."

Lu Bu stood up excitedly and retreated behind Duan Yu.

Having solved Lu Bu, Duan Yu could be considered to have resolved a major worry.

Next, he was going to Liangzhou to open up a long front with the Qiang tribes.

At such a time, having someone like Lu Bu, who is extremely capable of fighting, under his command also saves a lot of trouble.

Having finished with Lu Bu, Duan Yu's gaze turned to Chanyu Qiangqu in the distance.

"Chanyu Qiangqu," Duan Yu said: "Are you satisfied with the result of the competition?"

Swish.

Cold sweat broke out on Chanyu Qiangqu's forehead.

"The Great Han is mighty," Chanyu Qiangqu said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead: "General Duan is truly a tiger general of the age; the Great Han is truly lucky to have a tiger general like you."

"I... no... I have never seen a tiger general as brave as General Duan."

Looking at the somewhat incoherent Qiangqu, Duan Yu chuckled and said: "Chanyu, since this horse was won by my subordinate with his own ability, it cannot be considered a welcoming gift from the Chanyu."

"So I will not thank the Chanyu on behalf of my subordinate."

"If I say this, Chanyu, do you think there is any problem?"

Chanyu Qiangqu shook his head immediately: "No, no, not at all."

"Hmm, then..." Duan Yu looked at Qiangqu with a smile.

Chanyu Qiangqu was also a clever man; before Duan Yu's words had even finished, he immediately turned to look at his subordinates: "Go... hurry and bring my Red Dragon over."

The chiliarch behind Qiangqu did not dare to delay.

He ran toward the back.

And Chanyu Qiangqu immediately explained: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault."

"I will apologize to the General."

The chiliarch's movements were fast; before long, he brought over another warhorse.

When the chiliarch walked over leading the horse, Duan Yu had already noticed it.

It was a warhorse that was entirely crimson red from head to toe.
