Lu Yi didn't say anything, and looked at the smoke and dust in the distance and was in a daze.

The emperor led the Liang Jing cavalry to rush into the formation for Dong Zhao. It was just that it was too far away to see the big flags and even more so that it could not see the figures clearly. It could only see the smoke and dust soaring into the sky. Lu Yi was very curious. He wanted to see how heroic the young emperor was.

When he was by the King of Wu, he occasionally heard the King of Wu mention the Emperor, which was a very complicated emotion that made people unable to understand. But one thing is certain that the King of Wu admired the Emperor. Will he come from Jianye satisfy the Emperor's wish and fight him personally?

Unexpectedly hearing Lu Yi's answer, Zhu Huan turned his head and looked at Lu Yi's mind in the distance, and couldn't help but smile. "Give me atonement?"

Lu Yi was stunned, came to his senses, and looked at Zhu Huan in confusion. Zhu Huan pointed to the smoke and dust in the distance. "Defeat the emperor and redeem his sins."

Lu Yi smiled. "It's not enough to defeat the emperor, at least it will be a heavy blow." He patted the battlements and pointed to the bullets of a small stone on the battlements. "What I worry most now is that he will leave without fighting and guard the barriers from now on."

Zhu Huan nodded in agreement. "Then we will pester him and create fighter opportunities for the king."

"No, the king is just plundering the general. If it is not necessary, he may not have come to the battle formation in person. General, although the emperor entered Yanzhou for an accident, before the king's new order arrived, you are the chief general of the Yanzhou war zone, so you should not place hope on others."

Zhu Huan was solemn, pondered for a moment, and nodded solemnly.

"How can I bind the Canglong with my hands?" Lu Yi gently tapped the battlement, his eyes turned, and suddenly said, "General, let's write a letter of war to the emperor."

"Battle Book?"

"Yes, invite him to fight." Lu Yi laughed. "Young man is determined to fight. He is a young man this year, with a general of twenty-four and I am eighteen, and I am of the same age and have the honor of the emperor. How can I lose to you and me? For example, if there is a young general under Dong Zhao's command to challenge the general, will the general avoid fighting?"

Zhu Huan laughed silently. "Boyan, you scholars... are so sinister." He slapped the battlements. "Just do it. See if this little emperor is really brave or false."

Lu Zheng did what he said and ordered people to take paper and pen, and put them on the city wall, and wrote quickly.

——

The emperor strangled his mount, looked at the knight running from afar, and looked back at Liu Ye.

He didn't understand what Zhu Huan had for sending an envoy at this time. In short, it was impossible to surrender. Is it a challenge? This seems neither necessary nor meaningless. He has led his troops to the city. If he can attack, he will naturally attack; if he cannot attack, he will naturally retreat. If he cannot attack, he will never be influenced by Zhu Huan's words.

Liu Ye also felt a little strange, and a hint of confusion appeared on his haggard face.

Just as they were confused, the knight took out a document from his arms and sang: "Zhu Huan, the general of the Great Wu bandit, challenge the Emperor of Guanxi."

The knight's voice was very loud, and even in the chaotic battlefield, it attracted the attention of many people. He tied his mount, walked slowly forward, repeated three times in a row before coming to the emperor, bowed his hand and presented the letter of war with both hands.

"Zhu Huan, the general of the Great Wu debauchery, challenged the Emperor of Guanxi. The letter of war is here, and the Emperor of Han is here to read it."

The emperor couldn't help laughing, thinking that Zhu Huan's style was ridiculous. While signaling Hu Benlang to come forward to take the battle letter, he laughed and said, "Why, does Zhu Huan want to duel with me in front of the formation? Do he want to compete in cavalry or melee? I have countless warriors under my command, so he can choose."

The knight smiled and bowed again. "When the two armies fight, the victory or defeat depends on the courage of every man. However, if the Emperor of Kansai fights in person, the general who defeats the bandits will be unable to stop his affection, he may fight with the Emperor of Kansai. For everyone else, forget it."

"Rareless!" Liu Ye couldn't help but scold, "The King of Wu is also a minister of the Han Dynasty. How dare Zhu Huan fight against the emperor? Are the ministers of Wu not ministers of the Han Dynasty? Come and take down this crazy man."

The two Hu Benlangs stepped forward, twisted the knight, and pressed him to the ground. The knight did not resist, knelt on the ground, but smiled. The emperor watched coldly, looked surprised, raised his hand, and signaled Hu Benlang not to rush to kill people.

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid of death." The knight said lightly: "But when joining the army, casualties are inevitable." He broke free from Hu Benlang's hostage, stood up, and dusted the dust on his knees. "It's more interesting to be able to die under the sword of the Emperor of Guanxi than to die under the sword of an ordinary soldier. On the road to the underworld, I will walk slowly and wait for you."

He turned his eyes to Liu Ye's face and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "If I guess well, I must be Liu Lingjun from the Secretary-General?"

Liu Ye snorted and looked down upon him.

"The General of the Danggu said that Liu Lingjun and the Governor Lu were friends, and their virtues and talents were slightly inferior. Now they are at the Secretary-General, which shows that the Emperor of Guanxi is not as good as the King of Wu, and can only fight against the General of the Danggu."

Liu Ye was furious. "Being arrogant, you little soldier wants to pluck your lips and tongue in front of the emperor? You are really overestimating your ability."

The knight laughed. "Since I was bulging my lips and tongue, why bother to make you angry? In Henan, Duke Lu was facing the army of the Emperor Guanxi, and shot one arrow at a time, and made the Emperor Guanxi retreat and dared not enter the old capital. In comparison, he was much stronger than Lingjun."

Liu Ye's eyes were tightened, and he stared at the knight for a while, and suddenly felt uneasy. How could an ordinary knight have such eloquence? Is this Zhu Huan specially asked to provoke trouble? He glanced at the emperor and wanted to take the war book in the emperor's hand over to take a look, but it was inconvenient to be rude.

"Who are you? Report your hometown name."

"You don't have to doubt too much. I'm not a famous scholar, nor have I read any books. I've just been in the army for a long time and learned a little about the situation in Henan." The knight's skill. "Li Wei, without words, has 24 words this year, Dingtao, and his family is in Pingkangli outside the city. In the fifth year of Chuping, I fled to Yuzhou with my parents and went to Pingyu County to study for three years. Last year, I applied to join the army and worked as a leader in the scout camp."

The emperor was shocked. He had been accustomed to ejaculation for many years and had extraordinary eyesight. He could see the calluses on Li Wei's hands. He knew that this person could not be a famous scholar who was good at debate. Judging from his neatness of getting on and off the horse, he should be a person who rode horses all year round. It is unlikely that the famous scholars in the Central Plains could have such riding skills. Moreover, what Li Wei said was not a clever argument, but a fact, but this fact was too heart-wrenching, especially Liu Ye's heart.

As the emperor's think tank, he confronted his old friend Lu Su but did not dare to enter Luoyang. This has always been a regret in Liu Ye's heart. The other party held on to this point, obviously coming for Liu Ye. Was it Zhu Huan's own idea or the plan of the boy named Lu Yi?

The emperor opened the war book in his hand and quickly browsed it. The doubts in his heart were answered. The signature of this war book was Zhu Huan and Lu Yi, and the drafting should be Lu Yi. Generally speaking, if it were not for special circumstances, military strategists would not sign on such war book. Lu Yi was deliberately targeting Liu Ye. Zhu Huan challenged him, Lu Yi challenged Liu Ye. Although the two sides had not met yet, the battle had already begun.

The emperor felt a sense of war. He raised his eyebrows lightly, pondered for a moment, and handed the letter of war to Liu Ye.

When Liu Ye took it, he felt that he could not bear it anymore. The war book not only did not have the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, but also listed various matters, saying that the emperor was not as good as Sun Ce and was only worthy of being an enemy of Zhu Huan. He also said that Sun Ce had arrived in Pingyu, but he would not fight unless the emperor could conquer Dingtao and defeat Zhu Huan. Finally, Zhu Huan listed his own military deployment and even drew a sketch of Dingtao City, which was almost written with the words "Waiting for you to fight", and his arrogant attitude was almost overflowing from the paper.

Liu Ye was both surprised and happy. This was done without any effort. He was speculating on how Zhu Huan would arrange troops. Unexpectedly, Zhu Huan actually told him on his own initiative. He knew the forces of both sides and the layout of Dingtao City. Judging from various known information, this city defense sketch should be true.

Zhu Huan is still too young, and Lu Yi is so. The young man is more motivated, but he is not cautious enough. He lost the drawings of the giant stone thrower before, and now he takes the initiative to show off the city defense map. This is not confidence, but conceit.

Liu Ye and the emperor exchanged a look and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think Zhu Huan is a warrior. It turns out that he is just a harsh person and is just a show of his appearance. Both sides have equal strengths, but he dared not go out of the city to fight. He only dared to hide in the city and shout. It's ridiculous."

The emperor understood and said, "Yes, he hid in the city and spoke arrogantly, but he did not dare to go out to fight. It's just a coward, so what's the point." He ordered people to take paper and pen, and sat on the horse's back, holding the war book in one hand, and hanging in the air with the other hand, and swinging it.

"Ma Qing, thank you for your hard work, reply to Zhu Huan and challenge him."

Ma Chao bowed and went up to take the war letter from the emperor, took a look, took the song, kicked the horse out of the formation, and ran towards Dingtao City. He came to the moat, tied his mount, looked at Zhu Huan at the top of the city, and shouted loudly: "Zhu Xiumu, Lu Boyan, are you safe?"

Seeing Ma Chao and Zhu Huan, Lu Yi looked at each other and smiled. Ma Chao, the idiot, really broke his promise. It doesn’t matter whether he was inspired or his nature was like this. Lu Yi said loudly: “Ma Mengqi, are you here today? Are you challenging or surrendering? Or is the iron spear in your hand rusted and you want to change to a new one?”

Ma Chao blushed and felt that the iron spear in his hand was a little hot. But he knew better that Lu Yi was saying that the iron spear was rusted, but in fact he was calling him fat and his conscience rusted. When he left Sun Ce, Lu Yi was still by Sun Ce's side, and he knew his oath to him clearly.

"Bo Yan, why did I say this? I am here today, neither challenging nor surrender. I just heard that Yan Yanming is skilled in martial arts and has not seen him for many years. I want to discuss with him. Please ask Bo Yan to tell Yan Ming to go out of the city and talk. If you don't dare, don't mention a certain name when you boast in the future, so as not to make fun of the Fang family."

Lu Yi laughed loudly. "It turned out to be a challenge to General Yan, which is strange. General Ma's neck itched again? You are using an iron spear now. If this spear goes on, people will die."

Ma Chao was angry and was about to speak, but Lu Yi lowered his face again and shouted sternly: "Ma Mengqi, are you a three-year-old child? You are at the mercy of others. What did you say when you bid farewell to King Wu? You went back on your word and broke yourself up. What else do you have to challenge General Yan? The emperor used either Lu Bu or Liu Bei or you, no wonder he was like a dog who was straying from family, sometimes he went to Hedong and sometimes Hebei, and now he has come to Henan again, and has been swaying over the market, but he dared not fight."
