Yi, who was smiling at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain of the Changshan Volunteer Army showed a trace of tragic heroism on his face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just last night, his lord, Gongsun Zan, had found him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was ordered to lead three hundred White Horse Followers to escort an envoy to Hulao Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, the captain naively thought this was a high-difficulty mission entrusted to him by General Gongsun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after arriving at Hulao Pass, just as the captain was preparing for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gates of Hulao Pass opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain learned that he and the three hundred White Horse Followers had

the slap in the face was just as fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Gu Yi did not let them stay in their emo state for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he specifically had Dong Zhuo send some scholars to provide psychological counseling to these White Horse Followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commonly known as brainwashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the captain himself, Gu Yi

attack, he was momentarily unable to parry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lived up to his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Zhao Yun was called the captain of the Changshan Volunteer Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was because he was truly elected as the volunteer captain by the villagers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying the desire to build a career and the belief in caring for the people, Zhao Yun went to Youzhou to join Gongsun Zan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is just a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before any merit was established, he had already been sold out by Gongsun

army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Zhao Yun had not yet performed any service for the Xiliang Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo could not directly grant him an official position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi simply kept Zhao Yun by his side to serve as the captain of his personal guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after Zhao Yun officially joined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi did indeed keep his promise and released the captured Yan Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yan Gang return safely, Gongsun Zan was filled with mixed emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, he did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had regained Yan Gang, he had lost a top-tier fierce general because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And seeing this scene, Sun Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems Gu Yi is a man of his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one does as Gu Yi instructs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zu Mao should be able to return safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the coalition was full of ulterior motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacks on Hulao Pass were extremely perfunctory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Yuan Shao deliberately preserving his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other stronger warlords also followed suit and restrained their troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the losses almost entirely fell upon the smaller warlords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were truly miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it is worth mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A battle also broke out at Sishui Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Cao Cao’s leadership, the few warlords remaining outside Sishui Pass turned defeat into victory and repelled Hu Zhen’s attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It failed to bring any greater losses to the Xiliang Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To gather strength, Cao Cao suggested that Yuan Shao withdraw from Hulao Pass and retreat to Sishui Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this proposal was not adopted by Yuan Shao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Cao Cao feel very suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intuition told him that Yuan Shao was hiding something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having always been outside Sishui Pass, how could Cao Cao imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Yuan Shao, the leader of the coalition, had actually already secretly sent people to contact Dong Zhuo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, ten days flew by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The date of the decisive battle agreed upon by Gu Yi and Xu You was getting closer and closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Hulao Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The generals of Dong Zhuo’s army were all eager to make contributions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the \"great filial son\" Lu Bu was the most active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time outside Hulao Pass, Lu Bu first fought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then was miserably chased by more than ten generals of the coalition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn't run fast enough, he would have likely returned to his ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Lu Bu feel deeply humiliated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coalition’s lack of martial virtue deeply stung him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, Lu Bu increased his daily training requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He honed himself diligently, hoping to take his martial arts to the next level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking throughout Hulao Pass, Lu Bu could not find even one person who could spar with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone knows, in martial arts, sparring with someone of the same level provides greater inspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a top-tier fierce general of the era, Lu Bu’s martial arts were already divine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the others inside Hulao Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even first-rate generals like Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong could barely withstand ten moves from Lu Bu at full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This level of sparring was of no help to Lu Bu at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extremely depressed, Lu Bu suddenly received a visit from Gu Yi on this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……. ===== CHAPTER 53 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-16T09:19:20.127Z","2026-06-16T10:29:10.858Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
