Dong Zhuo made the decision to move the capital at any time, but on the other side, the coalition of eight princes had already invaded Hulao Pass.

At this time, the Eight-Road Allied Forces had disagreements about the next action.

At Liu Bei's suggestion, Gongsun Zan proposed to station in Hulao Pass and wait for the arrival of a large force led by King Liu Feng before making the next decision.

However, Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi County, wanted to rush directly into Luoyang in one go.

In this regard, Gongsun Zan said:"The order given to us by the alliance leader is to break through Hulao Pass. Now we have completed the task. Hulao Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as we hold this pass, we will have the initiative to invade Luoyang. As long as we hold this pass, we will have the initiative to invade Luoyang.

When the army arrives, we only need to leave some troops to guard Hulao Pass to ensure our army's retreat.

But if we don't wait for the army to arrive and advance rashly, with our strength, whether we can invade Luoyang and kill Dong Zhuo is temporarily unknown. Not to mention, if we encounter an enemy army and lose in battle, I am afraid that the Hulao Pass that we just acquired will change hands again.

In this way, it will not be so easy to attack Luoyang again."

However, Wang Kuang said :"Now that Hua Xiong died in battle, we captured Hulao Pass with lightning speed.

Dong Zhuo is far away in Luoyang and may not be able to react.

If we enter Luoyang quickly, we will definitely be able to enter the city before he reacts. , Capturing Dong Zhuo alive is the best way to end the battle quickly.

If the leader of the alliance arrives with the main force to attack Luoyang, I am afraid Dong Zhuo will have already reacted. By then, he will have built an iron wall and it will be difficult to defeat him." Each side holds its own. No one can convince the other person with just one word.

In the end, Wang Kuang decided to lead his 10,000 troops to Luoyang alone.

The other seven princes were afraid that Wang Kuang would make mistakes if he attacked alone, so after discussion they decided to let Yuan Yi and Qiao Mao follow closely behind.

Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Bao Xin, Kong Rong and Zhang Yang each left a small number of men to guard Hulao Pass and wait for the arrival of the main army led by Liu Feng.

Then they also followed Yuan Yi and Qiao Mao with their own soldiers and horses and rushed towards Luoyang.

On the other side, Li Jue and Guo Si followed Lu Bu from a distance with an army of 50,000 Xiliang troops at the rear.

Lu Bu also felt that there were too many troops. The 30,000 troops assigned to him by Dong Zhuo included infantry, which slowed down the march. So he ordered his subordinate Zhang Liao to command the 30,000 Xiliang troops to follow behind and use the fastest speed to keep up..

Lu Bu himself led three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry and marched all the way to Hulao Pass.

As a result, Wang Kuang and Lu Bu were going from Hulao Pass to Luoyang, and the other was from Luoyang to Hulao Pass. It didn't take long for them to meet on a narrow road.

This is a typical encounter.

However, Wang Kuang did not know that when Hua Xiong was killed, Li Su ran back to Luoyang to deliver a message, which made Dong Zhuo already prepared and ordered Lu Bu to resist the coalition of princes.

Therefore, Wang Kuang did not maintain much vigilance along the way. When he saw Lu Bu and the three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry, he was not prepared at all and was caught off guard.

When Lu Bu came out of Luoyang, he guessed that the coalition of princes would definitely send a vanguard to Luoyang, so he kept vigilant and entered a fighting state the moment he encountered Wang Kuang's army.

At this time, Wang Kuang looked at the cavalry troops charging from a distance. Their flags were embroidered with a wolf head with fierce eyes, and the formation was still very complete despite being told to run. At first glance, they were elite troops.

And the leading commander rushed over at once.

Wang Kuang looked at how he was dressed as a general. He wore a purple gold crown with three prongs on his head, a Xichuan red brocade hundred-flower robe on his body, a chain armor with an animal face and a swallowing head, and an exquisite lion belt on his waist. He carried a bow and arrow, held a painted halberd, and sat The red rabbit and horse neigh in the wind.

So majestic, who else could it be if it wasn't the legendary"Flying General" Lu Bu?

After confirming Lu Bu's identity, the three thousand cavalry must be the world-famous Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

Although Wang Kuang was the prefect of Hanoi County, he was not good at leading troops in battle, and his personal force was not high. He originally thought he could sneak into Luoyang secretly, so he rushed in so impetuously.

But when he saw the world-famous Lu Bu, he was immediately frightened and at a loss.

I even forgot to take command of the battle.

Seeing that Lu Bu had already rushed forward, he hurriedly asked who dared to fight.

Hearing Wang Kuang's question, Fang Yue, a famous general in Hanoi, rode out on horseback with a gun drawn, and said to Lu Bu:"I have heard for a long time that General Lu Bu is the most powerful general in Xiliang. Yue below is also famous as an alumnus in Hanoi. Please give me some advice from General Lu Bu." After hearing what Fang Yue said, Lu Bu laughed and said,"How dare you show your embarrassment in front of this general, an unknown young man." After speaking, Lu Bu clamped his horse's belly, and the red rabbit horse rushed out like lightning.

Fang Yue didn't expect Lu Bu to be so fast. Before he could react, Lu Bu killed him instantly with a halberd.

Wang Kuang was so frightened that his most powerful general could not survive even one round in Lu Bu's hands.

Then Lu Bu led the three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry behind him to charge forward. Wang Kuang had long since lost his will to fight and left his 10,000 troops to resist Lu Bu, but he turned around and ran away.

However, the Hanoi soldiers without the command of a coach were no match for the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. The Hanoi army retreated in defeat the moment the two sides fought.

Seeing that Wang Kuang was about to be killed, fortunately, Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi's troops arrived in time, resisted Lu Bu's attack, and rescued Wang Kuang.

Then Gongsun Zan took Liu Bei and the remaining princes arrived in time. When Wang Kuang saw them, he finally calmed down and began to gather the remaining troops and merged with Gongsun Zan and other seven other armies.

Lu Bu saw that the encounter was over and both sides had gained a firm foothold, turning it into a positional battle. So he left three thousand Bingzhou wolves riding behind him and stepped forward to call for battle.

Everyone knew Lu Bu's bravery, and no one dared to come out to fight him at first.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had the experience of killing Hua Xiong, so they did not make any noise, just waiting for the princes to deal with it on their own.

Lu Bu waited for a long time, and when he saw that no one from the coalition of princes dared to come out to fight him, he couldn't help but laughed:"You guys with nothing but wine and rice bags, you have the nerve to say that you want to defeat the Prime Minister, you are really overestimating your capabilities.

Now I am standing here." Now, if you want to kill the Prime Minister and be loyal to the Han Dynasty, you must first pass the test of this general."

Seeing that Lu Bu looked down on him so much, Mu Shun, the general of Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, and Wu Anguo, the general of Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai Others came out to fight one after another.

It's just that the gap between them and Lu Bu is too big. Except for Wu Anguo, they were all instantly killed by Lu Bu.

Wu Anguo fought with Lu Bu for nearly ten rounds, but was finally no match for Lu Bu. His arm was cut off, so he had to abandon his hammer and run away.

Seeing Lu Bu chasing Wu Anguo, Gongsun Zan couldn't bear Wu Anguo being killed. He waved his long spear and went to intercept Lu Bu personally and rescued Wu Anguo.

However, Gongsun Zan could only hold on for a few rounds before he fell into a disadvantage and had to turn around and run away.
