Chapter 3, Decapitation of Generals
"Fengxian, are you awake?" As the lights began to glow, an oil lamp was lit in the room. The voice that echoed in my ears roused my drowsy mind somewhat. The voice was melodious, making one unable to resist the urge to see its owner. Lü Bu's gaze faithfully executed this instinct.
Gao Shun attempted several times to charge forward and challenge Le Jin to a duel, but was skillfully evaded by Le Jin
The classical beauty may seem insignificant to the people of this era, but for a soul like Lü Bu, who hails from modern society, it is undoubtedly shocking. Moreover, the intelligence and gentle demeanor subtly reveal a hint of heroism. The presence of such qualities, which are almost impossible to find simultaneously in a single woman in modern times, suddenly appearing in one woman creates an allure that is most lethal to men.

Lü Bu could be certain that throughout his past life, he had never ridden a horse, let alone possessed any equestrian skills. However, at the moment he encountered Red Hare, a wondrous feeling surged within him. Almost instinctively, he pulled the reins, placed a foot in the stirrup, and with a swift motion, he found himself seated upon the back of Red Hare.
Gao Shun's eyes were about to burst with anger, yet he found himself helpless.
The sound of a gentle breeze
When it comes to looks, Diao Chan is considered a top beauty. However, in his past life, Lu Bu has encountered many beauties of this caliber. Different people have different preferences, and it is difficult to please everyone. Each individual's standards for beauty vary. In fact, when it comes to looks, once a certain level is reached, it becomes hard to determine who is more beautiful than whom. What truly captivates Lu Bu is the other person's temperament, which is the real factor that differentiates top beauties. It is intangible and formless, yet it undeniably exists.
"Stay at home, I will go take a look." Lü Bu felt a sudden jolt, the drowsiness in his mind and the lingering sensation of astonishment were instantly dispelled. No matter how beautiful a woman is, one must have the life to enjoy it; he must strive to live better in this world.
My lord! A glimmer of joy flashed in Gao Shun's eyes as he said sternly: "Fallen troops, retreat!"
If he were to charge forward at this moment and engage in a fierce battle with Lü Bu, there might still be a chance of victory. After all, although Lü Bu's body remains the same, his soul has been replaced by another, and his martial skills rely solely on instinct. With the prowess of Le Jin, if he were to fight to the death at this moment, the outcome would be uncertain. However, at this moment, he is intimidated by Lü Bu's past reputation and terrifying achievements, leading him to make the most foolish decision.
Beautiful women are not uncommon; in this information-saturated era, individuals who can establish their own domain in first-tier cities are plentiful. Not to mention the various beauties found online, even within the circles he frequents, he has encountered many women—celebrities, socialites, and pure campus beauties. Lü Bu considers his immunity in this regard to be quite high. However, the moment he laid eyes on the woman before him, he was still taken aback. A tremor originating from his soul stirred the heart lake that had not been moved by a woman for a long time, creating towering waves.
Tell Zhang Liao to guard the city carefully; there is no need to worry about matters within the city! Lu Bu, wielding the Fangtianhua halberd, is currently seated on the back of the Red Hare, his legs gripping the horse's belly. An indescribable sense of heroism rises within him like a flame, instantly spreading throughout his body. This feeling belongs to this body’s memory, as if with the Fangtianhua halberd in hand and the Red Hare by his side, there is no enemy in this world that he cannot defeat.
For three consecutive days, he had not closed his eyes, nor had a drop of water entered his mouth. Even though the body left behind by his predecessor was in good condition, it had reached its limit. This was not a tendency for self-harm on Lü Bu's part; rather, it was a natural reaction for a modern individual facing a battlefield of cold weapons for the first time. During these three days, in order to strive for survival in this era, Lü Bu had almost forced himself to remain on the city walls to adapt to the battlefield and to the brutal scenes before him.

"Fengxian, what is wrong with you?" The beautiful woman looked at Lü Bu with confusion. At this moment, Lü Bu's gaze resembled that of their first meeting.
Gao Shun, Lü Bu's power has now waned, why should we still be loyal to him? If you are willing to surrender, I am willing to recommend you to Prime Minister Cao! In the crowd, a short yet remarkably fierce warrior wielding a large blade moved skillfully, each strike of his long knife claiming the life of a soldier from the vanguard. Gao Shun attempted to step forward several times, but was cleverly evaded by the opponent, who continued to slaughter the soldiers of the vanguard.
"Charge, Assault Troops!" Gao Shun roared excitedly from behind, discarding his already blunted long knife, seizing Le Jin's large sword, and roaring as he led the Assault Troops, closely following Lü Bu, charging towards the panicked Cao army.
An indescribable sense of warmth surged within him, and Lü Bu unconsciously reached out to touch the large horse's head. Among men, Lü Bu; among horses, Red Hare. Looking at this warhorse, which was taller than ordinary horses, Lü Bu felt as if his blood were about to boil.
Lü Bu
Every time I close my eyes, the horrific scene of severed limbs and corpses strewn across the ground inevitably flashes through my mind, and upon seeing food, my stomach involuntarily churns
He had countless times thought of escaping, but reason forcibly kept him on the battlefield. He needed to adapt to the battlefield, to his current identity; he was Lü Bu, the war god of the Three Kingdoms, no longer that white-collar worker. He had to take root and survive in this world, to become someone above others. To achieve this, the first thing he needed to do was to adapt to the battlefield; otherwise, let alone living better, whether he could see tomorrow was an unknown. To secure tomorrow, he must learn to confront his current predicament.
As Le Jin was on the verge of suicide, he suddenly noticed the retreat of the vanguard troops, and a sense of astonishment arose within him. He hurriedly glanced in the direction of Gao Shun, and in a fleeting moment, he caught sight of a figure rushing towards him with astonishing speed.
At that moment, Lü Bu felt a blankness in his mind, a suffocating sensation causing his heart to stop beating at that instant
Kill
Le Jin's warhorse is commendable, but no horse can outrun the Red Hare. Moreover, at this moment, behind him, the Cao army is densely packed, leaving him with no retreat. By the time he realizes the situation, it is already too late. In the corner of his eye, a flash of white light stands out prominently against the night sky
Three days' time was not enough for him to fully adapt, but it was sufficient to make him no longer timid, even daring to wield a knife and kill on the city wall
My lord, the enemy has taken advantage of the chaos to breach the southern gate. At this moment, General Gao Shun is defending against the enemy in the southern city, but there are too many foes, and it is impossible to drive them out in a short time!" A deputy general handed the Fangtianhua halberd to Lü Bu and said urgently
A familiar yet strange whinnying sound awakened Lü Bu, and soon after, a large horse's head appeared before him, affectionately nuzzling against Lü Bu's cheek
Shaking his head, Lü Bu dismissed these inexplicable thoughts. Whether Diao Chan truly existed was not worth delving into, as she was now vividly present before him. Why bother to quibble with history? ... However ... she is truly beautiful
"Yes!" the deputy general replied, and Lü Bu had already urged his warhorse forward. Under the dim moonlight, the Red Hare galloped towards the southern gate like a dark red flame.
Two guards hurriedly brought Lü Bu's Fangtianhua halberd, while the beautiful woman watched Lü Bu leave in haste
Red Hare
Haha, after I break the city, how many times do you wish to spar? I will gladly accompany you!" Le Jin laughed heartily.
Furrowing his brow, Lü Bu recalled that Diao Chan was not actually named Diao Chan. In true history, there was no clever scheme devised by Wang Yun involving a series of linked plots; rather, it was Lü Bu who had an affair with a concubine of Dong Zhuo, which was skillfully exploited by Wang Yun. As for the name of that concubine, it is not recorded in history, but there are numerous claims in popular folklore, with some saying she was called Diao Xiuer, while others claim her name was Ren Hongchang
Le Jin felt a tremor in his heart, and almost instinctively turned his horse around. The reputation of Lü Bu was enough to instill fear in any general of this era, and Le Jin was no exception. The moment he laid eyes on Lü Bu, his first thought was—run!
In the moment when Le Jin turned his head, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, his eyes filled with a hint of unwillingness, and his large head flew off, with the blood in his throat erupting like a volcano, uncontrollable.
"Le Jin! Do you dare to fight me?" As he watched his soldiers continuously being slain by Le Jin, Gao Shun's eyes flickered with a chilling light. Le Jin's strategy was clear; the soldiers of the Vanguard Camp were indeed elite. Facing the Cao army, it was not an exaggeration to say that one could take on ten. However, soldiers are still soldiers, and in front of a first-rate general like Le Jin, they could easily be killed in an instant. Le Jin did not seek to engage Gao Shun directly; instead, he continued to slaughter the soldiers of the Vanguard Camp, constantly tearing open gaps within their ranks. Although these gaps would soon be filled by Gao Shun, the number of soldiers in the Vanguard Camp was ultimately limited. Gao Shun slaughtered the Cao army without concern, as the Cao army was numerous, and losing a few hundred would not be a loss. Trading these Cao soldiers for the opportunity to breach Xia Pi was undoubtedly a worthwhile deal. Moreover, Le Jin struck and withdrew immediately, ensuring that the Vanguard Camp could not encircle him. Otherwise, even a top-tier general, if caught in the encirclement of the Vanguard Camp, would only face a knockout.
Lü Bu could not recognize Le Jin. After he dispatched this general of the Cao army with a single thrust of his spear, he swung the Fangtianhua halberd once more, a flash of cold light sweeping across. With Lü Bu's brute strength combined with the sharpness of the Fangtianhua halberd, over a dozen soldiers of the Cao army fell to the ground, screaming in agony. A trace of indescribable excitement flickered in Lü Bu's eyes, and his entire body felt as if it were boiling with blood. It turned out that the feeling of galloping on the battlefield was so wonderful. He raised the Fangtianhua halberd in his hand, ignoring the voice that echoed in his mind at that moment. At this moment, his rationality was shattered by the surge of passionate blood. The Fangtianhua halberd in his hand swept down again and again, taking away one vibrant life after another.

After hastily eating something, Lü Bu returned to his residence and collapsed onto his bed, falling into a deep and drowsy sleep. This was the first time he had slept since arriving in this era, and he slept soundly. In his mind, the bloody scenes were no longer enough to instill fear in him. He slept until the evening, when he was awakened by a commotion.
Cao Jun has begun the siege. The beautiful woman sighed, a deep concern flashing in her eyes
Under the South City Gate, Gao Shun's face was as grim as water, and the steel knife in his hand had already become dull, yet he still fought fiercely without retreating. The eight hundred soldiers of the Elite Troops surrounded him like a rock, firmly blocking the Cao army that surged in through the city gate.
"What is it? What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?" Lu Bu shook his head and quickly regained his composure. After all, he was not a novice. Following the initial astonishment, he soon came to his senses. To avoid any awkwardness, he shifted the topic.
Buzz
On the road, Lü Bu has already recalled who this woman is, one of the four great beauties of history, Diao Chan, and his predecessor has always referred to her as Diao Chan.
Gao Shun, step aside! Just at the moment when Gao Shun was at a loss for what to do, a furious shout came from a distance.
