Chapter 256: Lü Bu kneels to Liu Bei! You are the master and I am the vanguard, and the world can be settled! Lao Liu: Do you think I am stupid? Behead!
There was a loud noise like the sky falling and the earth collapsing.

At the moment of the fight, Lu Bu felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand, and blood was already seeping out from between his fingers.

He could hardly hold the halberd in his hand!

The overwhelming force of God, like a mountain pressing down on his head, hit his internal organs like an invisible giant wall, making the root of his tongue feel sweet and blood rushing to his throat.

When the two riders passed each other, the arrogance on Lu Bu's face was instantly replaced by endless horror.

In this fight, Guan Yu shocked him so much that his knuckles were cracked, his internal organs were injured, and he almost vomited blood.

Is Guan Yu so strong?
Or was I too weak, so weak that I was injured by Guan Yu?'

But the truth is so cruel, Guan Yu's martial arts at this time is actually better than his!
"This is impossible. I am the best in the world. No one can hurt me. This is impossible—"

Lu Bu turned his horse around and looked at Guan Yu as if he had seen a ghost, with shock and fear in his heart.

Guan Yu didn't say any more nonsense, and his Red Hare kicked out again like a bullet, roaring towards Lu Bu.

The Qinglong sword in his hand was trailing a bloody mist, and once again, it was wrapped in divine power like a storm, slashing at Lu Bu in the waist like a wheel.

Lu Bu had no time to savor the shock. He could only take a quick breath and swung out with his halberd angrily, ready to take Guan Yu's fierce attack head-on once again.

The swords and spears collided again.

"throat!"

A loud noise like the sky falling and the earth collapsing sounded in the sky again.

The two riders passed each other again, and Lu Bu was shaken and leaned back. He clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly to avoid being shaken off the horse.

The blood rushing to his throat was no longer controllable, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lu Bu was stunned, his horror and fear overshadowed the severe pain in his internal organs. His bloodshot eyes widened as if he had seen the most incredible scene in his life.

How could a warrior who was the best in the world be so shocked that he vomited blood in just two moves?
Even if he lost his Fang Tian Hua Ji and his Red Hare, and was injured twice which caused his martial arts strength to decline significantly, it wouldn't have declined to this level, right?

It was obvious that he had just fought with Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, and was at least evenly matched with them.

How come when it came to Guan Yu, he couldn't even take two moves and was suppressed to the point of vomiting blood?

Could it be that Guan Yu’s martial arts skills are stronger than mine at his peak?

Lu Bu obviously forgot that Guan Yu’s martial arts skills were only strong in his first three sword strikes.

The power of these first three swords is far beyond his normal strength. This is the secret of why Guan Yu can repeatedly kill generals with one sword.

In the Battle of Hulao Pass, Hua Xiong overwhelmed all the generals of the coalition forces, but he did not know Guan Yu's strength and was killed by Guan Yu with one blow.

Guan Yu's martial arts had already reached its peak today, and with the added bonus of his Red Hare and Green Dragon Sword, the power of his first three sword strikes had reached an unprecedented level.

Even Lu Bu at his peak would have to retreat, let alone Lu Bu whose strength has greatly declined at this moment.

"Lü Bu, in the third round, we will decide the winner!"

Guan Yu turned his horse around, shouted arrogantly, and charged forward again without hesitation.

The Red Hare was so fast that Lu Bu didn't even have the chance to turn the horse and escape, as it had already flown towards him.

Guan Yu was like an iron tower, suddenly standing in front of Lu Bu, and the Qinglong Sword, with its overwhelming force, slashed down again.

The power of the third sword surpassed the previous two. It was like a divine weapon that split the sky and the earth, falling from the sky and slashing towards Lu Bu.

"Guan Yu~~"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth, not having time to savor the shock, nor even to suppress his surging blood and energy. He could only use all his remaining strength to wave his halberd and block it.

"boom!"

There was another loud bang like the sky collapsing.

A halberd flew out and a scream was heard.

Lu Bu's huge body, like a kite with a broken string, soared into the air and flew backwards.

He fell heavily to the ground.

The world's number one general was defeated and knocked off his horse.

The thousands of Liu army soldiers who were watching the battle all opened their eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise.

Huang Zhong, who was roaming in the battle not far away, also changed his expression. When he looked at Guan Yu again, deep respect welled up in his eyes.

"He actually defeated the world's best general with just three strikes. Guan Yu's martial arts are indeed better than mine."

"He is the chief general under my lord. I, Huang Zhong, am convinced today..."

Huang Zhong stroked his white beard and nodded slightly. The idea of ​​challenging Guan Yu to compete in martial arts disappeared.

on the ground.

Lu Bu, who was vomiting blood, was still struggling to get up, his face was distorted and deformed, and was replaced by endless horror and anger.

"I am the best martial artist in the world, but I can't defeat him in three rounds?"

"This isn't true, this isn't true!"

"I, Lu Bu, am the best in the world. How could I lose? I can't lose~~"

Lu Bu was mumbling incoherently to himself, getting up again and again, and falling down again and again. He seemed to have suffered a mental breakdown and fell into a state of madness.

It was not until Guan Yu drew his sword and cast his towering figure over him that Lu Bu stopped muttering.

He raised his head tremblingly, and the moment his eyes met Guan Yu's, his body suddenly froze.

Endless grief and anger, endless humiliation, instantly enveloped my whole body.

The once number one general in the world was now knocked off his horse. Guan Yu looked down at him from above, admiring his embarrassment and misery with the attitude of a victor.

Lu Bu never dreamed that one day he would end up in such a miserable and predicament.

"Lu Bu, you are defeated."

"After today, the title of the world's number one general will no longer exist!"

Guan Yu's eyes were as hard as iron and his tone was as cold as a knife.

Lu Bu's body shuddered, and his blood-stained hands tightly grasped the ground. He struggled to stand up and confront Guan Yu face to face.

Guan Yu did not give him the chance to face him. He turned his horse and left, swinging his Qinglong sword slightly.

"Capture these four servants, tie them up and take them to Shouchun, and hand them over to my brother for disposal."

The soldiers of Liu's army, who had been plundering the enemy camp for a long time, immediately rushed forward and tied up Lu Bu.

"How dare you, a bunch of ants, be so rude to me? Get out of here!"

"Don't tie it too tight, don't tie it too tight!!"

Although Lü Bu was yelling and cursing, his body was very honest. He let Liu Jun's soldiers tie him up tightly while cursing. Guan Yu looked back in the direction of Shouchun. Under the rising morning glow, a flag with the word "Liu" had been raised on the city wall of Shouchun's east gate.

This symbolizes that the heart of Huainan has finally belonged to his brother.

"Shouchun has been taken, Huainan has been acquired, and my brother has finally realized the military advisor's strategy of occupying Jingzhou..."

Guan Yu let out a light breath, and a relieved smile finally appeared on his cold face.

...

Shouchun City, on the north gate tower.

Liu Bei and Xiao Fang were standing side by side, overlooking the Huainan government, which was once Yuan Shu's pseudo-capital.

Above the four gates, flags with the word "Liu" have been raised.

Inside the refugee camp, groups of Shouchun residents were dragging their children into the city, returning to their homes.

"My lord, of the five thousand enemy troops that broke through the siege from the north, two thousand surrendered and three thousand were killed. We have completely wiped them out."

"My lord, we have completely wiped out the 3,000-plus Lu troops who broke out from the east gate. The enemy general Gao Shun was captured alive by our army and is being escorted here."

"General, General Guan has captured Lu Bu alive and is on his way back to Shouchun."

The scouts went up to the city one by one and delivered news of victory.

When the soldiers on the city wall heard the good news that Guan Yu had captured Lu Bu alive, they cheered.

Liu Bei also let out a long sigh, and the last big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"Congratulations to the lord for recovering Huainan, defeating Lu Bu, and avenging the loss of Xuzhou!"

Xiao Fang smiled and bowed to Lao Liu to congratulate him.

Liu Bei hurriedly supported Xiao Fang and said with a smile:
"If it weren't for the military advisor's brilliant plan, if it weren't for Shi Yuan and Bo Yan's brilliant strategies, if it weren't for the generals' loyalty, how could we defeat Lu Bu and quickly take Huainan!"

"I am so grateful to have the help of all of you great men in the world. God has really been very kind to me, Liu Bei!"

Liu Bei was not carried away by the victory, nor was he arrogant or conceited. He immediately attributed all the credit to his advisers and generals.

Xiao Fang smiled.

All the generals on both sides laughed heartily.

Amidst hearty laughter, Guan Yu climbed up to the north gate tower.

"Brother, just as the military advisor predicted, Lu Bu failed to return to Shouchun and fled eastward."

"I have fulfilled my brother's orders and have captured Lu Bu alive. I am waiting for your decision!"

Guan Yu bowed and reported to Liu Bei with great emotion.

"Yunchang, we brothers won't say anything more. I will drink to my heart's content at the celebration banquet later!"

Liu Bei patted Guan Yu on the shoulder without expressing much praise, but his satisfaction was written all over his smiling face.

Naturally, there was no need for the two brothers to say too much; they both understood each other's intentions.

Guan Yu smiled and then shouted:

"Come here, bring those four servants up here and let my brother deal with them!"

The order was passed down.

Soon, Lu Bu, who was tied up, was dragged up to the city wall by several tiger warriors.

It was not known whether the soldiers did it intentionally or unintentionally, but Lu Bu, who was extremely tall, was tied up like a dumpling and had to curl up.

"You tied it too tight, loosen it up for me~~"

Lu Bu walked obediently, but kept complaining and begging.

The tiger soldiers on both sides remained indifferent. They dragged Lu Bu all the way up and made him kneel at Liu Bei's feet.

Liu Bei heard Lu Bu's complaint and said coldly:

"Lü Bu, you are a vicious tiger. How can I tie you up tightly?"

Lu Bu's body shook, he suddenly closed his mouth, and raised his head tremblingly.

The moment he saw Liu Bei clearly, his body suddenly shook and all kinds of feelings surged into his heart.

Thinking back to the time when I stole Xuzhou from him, the mat weaver and shoe seller was almost forced into a desperate situation and had to flee to Jingzhou with nowhere else to go.

Now, he has transformed himself into the Lord of the South, standing proudly before him as a hegemon.

But he himself was tied up like a dumpling and knelt in humiliation before Liu Bei as a prisoner.

Shame, humiliation, resentment, anger...

All kinds of negative emotions, like an overturned bottle of five flavors, filled my heart.

"Lü Bu, you were ungrateful and stole my Xuzhou. Did you ever think about the consequences you would face today?"

Liu Bei looked down at Lu Bu and asked in a deep voice.

Lu Bu's heart was shocked, and all his emotions turned into shame. He slowly lowered his head, too embarrassed to face Liu Bei.

After rolling his eyes a few times, when Lu Bu raised his head again, his face was filled with guilt.

"Back then, Bu was bewitched by Chen Gong and others and did such a wrong thing. I have really failed your kindness, Xuande."

"Today I have realized my mistakes and am willing to surrender to you and go through fire and water for you to make up for the mistakes I made in the past."

"Xuan De, you are the lord, Bu is the vanguard, who can stand against us? The world can be conquered!"

Lu Bu spoke incessantly and actually begged Liu Bei for surrender.

Old Liu's eyes flickered, and for a moment, he was actually moved.

After all, Lu Bu is the best general in the world. If you can really be driven by him, it would be like holding a magical weapon in your hand.

Maybe it will really be as Lu Bu said, if gods stand in the way, kill gods; if Buddhas stand in the way, kill Buddhas; who can be the enemy?

"My lord, have you forgotten the fate of Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, and Yuan Shu, and the predicament of the fall of Xuzhou?"

Xiao Fang saw that Old Liu was a little moved, so he gently waved his feather fan and reminded him slowly.

The hint of excitement in Liu Bei's eyes disappeared in an instant, and he shuddered violently.

Then, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice:
"Lü Bu, you are a treacherous, disloyal and unjust man. Do you think I, Liu Bei, will repeat the mistakes of Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan?"

"Come here, drag this thief away and behead him!"
