Gongsun Zan couldn't defeat Lu Bu and turned around to run away. Naturally, Lu Bu couldn't let him go easily.

After all, nineteen princes raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and Gongsun Zan was one of them.

And compared with the other eighteen princes, Gongsun Zan had several reasons for Lu Bu to kill him.

The first point is naturally that Dong Zhuo borrowed the hands of the young emperor Liu Xie to order Liu Yu, who was the shepherd of Youzhou at the time, to raise troops to attack Liaodong in order to avenge Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Min for being assassinated by Liu Feng.

However, Gongsun Zan repeatedly blocked it. Even when Xian Yufu's army sent by Liu Yu to attack Liu Feng was defeated and fled back to Jixian, Gongsun Zan directly sent troops to kill all Xian Yufu's remaining troops.

Liu Yu was ordered by the emperor to attack Liaodong, but Gongsun Zan attacked Liu Yu's army from behind. This was disrespectful to the emperor. This was Lu Bu's first reason to kill Gongsun Zan.

Later, Liu Yu learned that Gongsun Zan had killed all his troops and left no one behind. He was furious and asked the court for orders to attack Youbeiping.

However, Gongsun Zan took the lead and secretly planned a Hongmen banquet to invite Liu Yu to attend.

And that idiot Liu Yu actually went to the banquet of his mortal enemy without any preparation, and was killed on the spot.

The Liu Yu whom Gongsun Zan killed was Youzhou Mu. Not long after the imperial court restored the state animal husbandry system, the state animal husbandry was in charge of the military and political power of a state.

When Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, he was undoubtedly provoking the imperial court.

It would be fine if it was the Han Dynasty that was once in power under the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, but what he provoked was the new dynasty that had sole power after Dong Zhuo deposed the new emperor.

This made Dong Zhuo intolerable no matter what, and even regarded Gongsun Zan as the prince he wanted to get rid of most, and even hated him more than he hated Liu Feng.

As Dong Zhuo's adopted son, Lu Bu naturally wanted to help Dong Zhuo kill Gongsun Zan. This was his second reason for killing Gongsun Zan.

After Liu Yu's death, Gongsun Zan and Liu Feng formed an alliance and were no longer under the command and control of the court. They were completely independent and self-reliant. This was Lu Bu's third reason for killing Gongsun Zan.

As for the fourth point, it is also the most important point at present, that is, Gongsun Zan is one of the few princes who was born as a military general among the nineteen princes coalition.

In the eyes of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others, although the coalition forces of the princes totaled 19 lines and had a strength of 300,000, the real pressure on them was not great.

This is because among the nineteen princes, only four were born as military generals: Liu Feng, Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian and Ma Teng.

Although the other fifteen princes also held the position of governor and state pastor, they were more talented in internal affairs and were not good at leading troops in war.

Only these four people are not only good at fighting in the army, but the combat effectiveness of their troops is extremely powerful. In addition, they have accumulated a lot of practical experience through years of conquests.

Needless to say, Liu Feng had already defeated the Wuhuan, Goguryeo and other foreign tribes by him, and he himself was promoted to the King of Side by Side and the Champion by virtue of his military exploits.

Sun Jian, known as the Jiangdong Tiger, performed brilliantly in suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Liangzhou Rebellion.

Later, Changsha Quxing rebelled, and Sun Jian single-handedly put down the rebellion in Quxing within a month. The imperial court also named him Marquis of Wucheng for his military exploits.

Ma Teng is a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan. Ma Yuan's marksmanship is passed down in his family, and he is also good at martial arts. He has lived in Xiliang for generations and is very good at horseback riding. His Xiliang cavalry is a rare elite cavalry nowadays.

As for Gongsun Zan, he also fought against the Xianbei, Wuhuan and other ethnic minorities in the north in Youzhou all the year round. Before Liu Feng, he was the most feared person among the foreigners in the entire Han Dynasty.

In addition, the white horse Yi Cong under his command is very powerful in combat, and the foreigners are also very afraid of Gongsun Zan.

It can be said that Dong Zhuo attaches great importance to the 19-way alliance of princes precisely because there are these four people in the opponent's formation. Without them, Dong Zhuo would have no need to worry about defeat at all with just a dozen scribes and politicians leading the crusade.

But now that Ma Teng is leading an army alone to attack Hangu Pass, there are only three of the eighteen princes in Guandong who are capable of conquering and fighting.

Since Gongsun Zan among them was right in front of him, the leader was naturally unwilling to let him go. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Gongsun Zan directly, so as to save him the trouble of letting him go back to the mountain.

So Gongsun Zan ran away, and Lu Bu naturally chased him closely.

Because Lu Bu's horse was the best horse in the world, the Red Rabbit Horse, which could travel thousands of miles a day and fly like the wind. Even though Gongsun Zan was riding a good horse from Youzhou, he could not escape Lu Bu's attack.

Seeing that he was about to catch up with Gongsun Zan, Lu Bu raised his Fangtian Painted Halberd and looked at Gongsun Zan to stab him in the back.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was naturally very excited when he thought that he could kill all the princes with his own hands when he met the coalition forces for the first time, and it was Gongsun Zan who had the deepest hatred for Dong Zhuo among the Kwantung coalition forces.

He was even fantasizing about Dong Zhuo's reward after returning to Luoyang.

However, just as the side blade of Fang Tian's painted halberd was about to hit Gongsun Zan's back, suddenly a strange spear with a curved tip came across between Fang Tian's painted halberd and Gongsun Zan.

Then the two magic weapons clashed together, making a crisp sound

"Boom! Lu

Bu thought that Gongsun Zan was already dead. Unexpectedly, a snake spear came across halfway and rescued Gongsun Zan. Then a huge force came out. Even Lu Bu felt that the hand holding the Fangtian Painted Halberd went numb.

Lu Bu did not expect that the alliance army would Apart from Liu Feng, there was no one else with such great strength. I couldn't help but look at that person. I saw a general next to him, with wide eyes, an upside-down tiger beard, and a snake spear that was eight feet tall, rushing towards his Pegasus. He came and shouted:"The slaves of the three surnames should not leave! Zhang Fei from Yan is here!"

Lü Bu was so proud and arrogant that he couldn't bear such insults. He immediately abandoned Gongsun Zan and fought with Zhang Fei.

Originally, Lu Bu had just killed several generals in the alliance army and thought that the opponent was nothing more than this. When he saw Zhang Fei, although he looked rough and fierce, , didn't take it seriously, just thinking that he wanted to use his brute force to deal with him.

But he didn't expect that this black man was not slow to react despite his brute force, so he put away his contempt and started fighting seriously.

Zhang Fei also fought Guan Yu, fearing that Zhang Fei would make a mistake, slapped his horse, brandished the eighty-two-pound Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and attacked Lu Bu from both sides.

Three Martin and Martin were fighting, and the two super generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei joined forces, putting a lot of pressure on Lu Bu.

Guan and Zhang fought with Lu Bu for more than thirty rounds, but still could not defeat Lu Bu.

At this time, Liu Bei was also worried about the two men. The younger brother made a mistake, picked up his two swords, rode a yellow-maned horse, and stabbed diagonally towards him. He also stepped forward to help.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang joined forces to fight against Lu Bu.
