Chapter Three: Three Heroes Face Off Lu Bu

曹操逃回家乡后，开始联络各路英雄，共同筹划讨董大计。响应的人很多，刘备也带着关羽、张飞以及好友公孙瓒前去会盟。
After Cao Cao fled to his hometown, he started to get in touch with heroes from all over,
and together they devised a plan to defeat Dong Zhuo once and for all. Many people were responsive, Liu Bei also brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as well as a good friend Gong Sun Zan to ally with each other.

大家选渤海太守袁绍为盟主，派长沙太守孙坚为先锋，讨董大军直逼汜水关。
Everybody chose Governor Yuan Shao of Bo Hai as the leader of this alliance, and they assigned Governor Sun Jian of Chang Sha as the vanguard, and they launched an expedition against Dong Zhuo and was currently headed toward SiShui Pass.

孙坚敌不过董卓大将华雄，袁绍急召诸侯商议对策。大家惧怕华雄，都低头不语。
Sun Jian couldn't win against Dong Zhuo's general Hua Xiong, Yuan Shao hurriedly called for dukes to discuss strategy. Everyone feared Hua Xiong, and wordlessly hung their heads.

这时关羽主动请战:“小将愿去取华雄人头，献于帐下。我如不能取胜，请斩我项上人头。” 可是袁绍的弟弟袁术却嫌他位卑职微，叫人把他赶出帐去：“来人，把这无名小卒赶出去！”
At this moment Guan Yu enthusiastically said, "I am willing to behead Hua Xiong,and present it to you.If I fail to do so,you can take my head instead."But Yuan Shao's little brother Yuan Shu thought he was just a lowly servant,and wanted him out, "Guards,kick this worthless fleabag out!"

曹操连忙劝阻袁术，说:“不妨让他出阵迎敌，如不能取胜，到时再责不迟。”
Cao Cao quickly tried to dissuade Yuan Shu,and said, "As well as letting him fight the enemy,and if he can't win,we'll think of the consequences then."

曹操给关羽斟上一杯热酒，关羽却抱拳说:“等我斩了华雄，回来再饮不迟。”
Cao Cao poured some warm wine for Guan Yu,however, Guan Yu just gave him a two-handed salute and said, "Once I behead Hua Xiong,it isn't too late to share some drinks."

关羽出阵后，很快就提着华雄的首级回来了。他端起酒杯，此时酒还冒着热气呢。
After Guan Yu left,he quickly arrived with Hua Xiong's head. He held up the wine cup,and steam was coming from the wine too.

不久，董卓统兵十五万与盟军交战。吕布手舞方天画戟，冲锋陷阵，无人能敌。
Shortly after,Dong Zhuo's army of fifteen thousand people fought with the others.Lu Bu waved his Long Heavenly Double Lance-Ax around wildly,charged into the enemy ranks,and no one could stop him.


袁绍派公孙瓒迎战吕布，但是公孙瓒哪是吕布的对手，几回合后就败下阵。
Yuan Shao ordered Gong Sun Zan to face off Lu Bu,but Gong Sun Zan wasn't even a threat to Lu Bu,and lost after a few rounds.

吕布纵马追赶公孙瓒，快追上时，举起画戟向他的后心刺去。不料这时张飞从旁边杀了过来，怒喝道:“张飞在此，吕布休得无礼!”
Lu Bu chased Gong Sun Zan on horseback,and the moment he almost caught up to him,raised his Long Heavenly Double Lance-Ax and thrust it at his back.Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei burst in from the side,and shouted, "Zhang Fei here,Lu Bu, cease this impoliteness at once!"

吕布见张飞圆睁环眼，挥舞丈八蛇矛，便飞马上前，与他斗了起来。
Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Fei's fiery expression,and wielding his Long Serpent Spear,and promptly rushed up,and dueled with him.

两人大战五十回合，难分胜负。关羽见了心急，便舞着青龙偃月刀，上前助战。吕布大吼：“让你们见识一下我的武艺！”
After about fifty rounds of fierce hacking and chopping,it was hard to decide the outcome.Guan Yu was getting impatient,And raised his Long Green Dragon Halting Moon Broadsword,and leaped into the fray. Lu Bu hollered, "I let you taste some of my martial arts skillz!"

吕布毫无惧色，愈战愈勇。三十回合后，刘备看得着急，催马上前助阵。
Lu Bu had no fear,and seemed to get even braver and stronger. After thirty rounds,Liu Bei was getting impatient from watching,and urged his horse forward to join the battle.

刘备、关羽、张飞三人大战吕布，几种兵器相撞，火星四溅，众人都看呆了。吕布大吼：“尽管放马过来！”
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei battled fiercely against Lu Bu,Their weapons clashed,sparks flew everywhere,and the other soldiers were transfixed.Lu Bu shouted, "Gimme all y'got!"

斗了一百多回合后，吕布渐渐招架不住了，便找机会突围，一直逃回关内。 After over one hundred rounds,Lu Bu was slowly becoming tired,and tried to look for a chance to retreat,and fled all the way to the inside of his camp.

吕布战败，董卓只得火烧洛阳，押着汉献帝和老百姓迁都长安，躲避起来。
Lu Bu had just lost,Dong Zhuo had to set fire to LuoYang,and escorted Emperor Xian of Han and the inhabitants to the new capital ChangAn,to hide.

曹操率军追击董卓，不料中途遭遇埋伏。曹操的腿受了伤，只好收拾残兵回营。
Cao Cao led his army to pursue Dong Zhuo,but surprisingly in the middle he was ambushed.Cao Cao's leg was injured,and was forced to bring his troops back to camp.

这时，留守洛阳的孙坚无意中得到传国玉玺，他也想称帝，便率军回到江东。
Just then,Sun Jian, who stayed behind in LuoYang, accidentally obtained the imperial jade seal,he also wanted to become an emperor,and led his troops back to the east of ChangJiang.

各路诸侯开始混战，战火连年不息，刘备、关羽、张飞只好回到平原重谋大事。
And everywhere warlords started to fight amongst themselves,the flame of war had been rekindled and burning for years,Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei could only return to the plains to discuss big plans.
