章 41: Chapter 41
"Young master, this Lu Bu beheaded two of our allied army generals. In Young Master's opinion, how is this Lu Bu's martial art?"
Beside Han Yu, Zhang He asked in a low voice.
Ever since Han Yu recruited Zhao Yun and defeated Dian Wei, Zhang He had known that Han Yu's martial arts were far superior to theirs.
Although Zhang He was still very confused, how did Han Yu learn martial arts?
Zhang He subconsciously considered Han Yu his backbone.
Gao Lan, Dian Wei, and the others could not help but come to hear what Han Yu had to say.
Even Zhao Yun wanted to know what Han Yu thought about Lü Bu.
Zhao Yun didn't want to go against Han Yu's orders, but he could see that Lü Bu's strength wasn't inferior to him.
Who is stronger and who is weaker, we must fight to know!
Hearing this, Han Yu smiled and said, "Lü Bu is known as the Flying General in Bingzhou. Among the people, Lü Bu had always been proficient in the arts of equestrian and archery, and his martial arts were unrivaled in the world. In addition, Lü Bu's mount, the Red Hare, is one of the best steeds in the world.
As far as I can see, now in front of Hulao Pass, if you fight alone with him, I am afraid that no one will be able to defeat Lu Bu."
"Now in front of Hulao Pass, all the heroes of the world are gathered here. Young Master said that no one could beat Lu Bu, could it be that Lü Bu is still the number one general in the world?"
Zhang he was a bit unconvinced and wanted to refute it.
Han Yu nodded helplessly and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that this Lü Bu is the number one general in the world."
Gao Lan was at the side and couldn't help asking: "According to the Young Master's words, doesn't that mean that Lu Bu is invincible? Then how should our army break through Hulao Pass?"
"Ziping worry too much!"
Han Yu said with a smile, "Even though Lü Bu is invincible, there are only a few people who can last against Lü Bu after a hundred rounds in Hulao Pass, as far as I know.
As long as these few people attack at the same time, no matter how strong Lu Bu is, I'm afraid he won't be able to resist. At that time, after Lu Bu was defeated, Xiliang's army and cavalry would be in chaos, and then the Hulao Path would be easily broken through!"
Zhang He and the others were very curious when they heard that among the heroes in the Hulao Pass, there were still people who could last a hundred rounds with Lu Bu.
(In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu fought undefeated for more than 100 rounds. It can be seen that the super-class general still has the strength to fight Lu Bu. Nonetheless, Lu Bu is difficult to kill. The gap between the super-first-class generals is not too big. No one could beat anyone easily; Lu Bu is the only one who could.)
Even Dian Wei could not help but ask, "I wonder who the people the Young Master is talking about?"
Han Yu looked at Dian Wei and said with a smile, "Elai, you are one of the most powerful people in the world. If Lu Bu abandons his horse and fights on foot, I am afraid he is not your opponent. So Elai is one of them!"
Since Dian Wei was born into a poor family, it was not convenient to call his name, so Han Yu gave him a nickname because Dian Wei was like Elai who was known for his immense physical strength.
Dian Wei is also very satisfied with this name.
Dian Wei got confirmation from Han Yu that he was one of the people that can fight and was pleased.
In particular, Dian Wei is also full of confidence in the battle on the ground, and he knows that what Han Yu said is true.
"Young Master, who else can?"
Zhang He and others couldn't wait to know all the answers.
"Zilong is very skilled on white horses and is also proficient in the arts of equestrian and archery. In addition, Zilong's spear arts are godlike, while Zilong's strength is almost the same as Lu Bu's.
However, currently, Lu Bu is at his peak, Zilong might be able to fight more than a hundred rounds with him, but in the future, Zilong's victory over Lü Bu wouldn't be a problem!"
Han Yu looked at Zhao Yun and said.
Han Yu could see that Zhao Yun still had a lot of room for improvement.
When everyone heard these words, they nodded.
Especially Zhang He, Gao Lan, and others knew Zhao Yun's strength and said, "Zilong is very fierce!"
"Thank you for your praise, Zilong dare not take it!"
Zhao Yun was humble and said softly when he heard those words.
Han Yu smiled lightly: "Zilong didn't have to be so humble, but for now Zilong had to be extra careful against Lu Bu!"
"Don't worry, Young Master."
Zhao Yun nodded.
Han Yu continued: "Apart from Elai and Zilong, the generals capable of fighting Lü Bu for over a hundred rounds in Hulao Pass at this time were Guan Yu (Yunchang), and Zhang Fei (Yide), as far as I know."
"Zhang Fei and Guan Yu?"
The crowd was quite confused.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are both completely unknown people currently, and it's no wonder that everyone doesn't know them.
Especially from the previous Sishui Pass, Zhao Yun took Guan Yu's opportunity by beheading Hua Xiong.
In this way, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, and others did not have the opportunity to show their abilities, and they were even less well known.
Han Yu explained: "These two are the younger brothers of Liu Bei (Xuande). Liu Bei once fought the Yellow Turban and was given the position as the magistrate of Pingyuan, and was now under the army of Gongsun Zan.
However, Liu Bei is very cunning and ambitious, it's hard for us to like him. In addition, Liu Bei swore an oath with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Taoyuan, and they are now brothers. Both of them were extremely loyal to Liu Bei, and neither power nor wealth could move their loyalty.
In the future, everyone should be very careful when facing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and remember not to underestimate the enemy.
Even though these two were not famous now, they possessed martial arts skills that were not befitting their position. In my opinion, both of them have the power to take the head of an enemy general in a crowd of ten thousand troops. Be careful with them. "
"Young Master, don't worry!"
Although everyone was still doubtful after hearing this, everyone now firmly believed Han Yu's words and nodded in agreement.
In their hearts, it is necessary to remember that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei should not be underestimated when they fight Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the future!

WonderingDeicide
WonderingDeicide Elai (Chinese: 恶来, Èlái) was a bodyguard for King Zhou during the Shang Dynasty of ancient China. He was an ancestor of Feizi, the founder of the state of Qin. His brother Jisheng (季勝) was an ancestor of Zaofu, the founder of the state of Zhao. According to the Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji) by Sima Qian, Elai was known for his immense physical strength.
In the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong, Cao Cao, impressed with Dian Wei's strength, states "This is old Elai again." Thus this fictional nickname of Dian Wei stuck with him, and he was henceforth known as "Elai" Dian Wei.
