流星馬探聽得，報入袁紹大寨裏來。紹聚眾商議。操曰：「董卓屯兵虎牢，截俺諸侯中路，今可勒兵一半迎敵。」紹乃分王匡，喬瑁，鮑信，袁遺，孔融，張楊，陶謙，公孫瓚，八路諸侯，往虎牢關迎敵。操引軍往來救應。八路諸侯，各自起兵。河內太守王匡，引兵先到。呂布帶鐵騎三千，飛奔來迎。王匡將軍馬列成陣勢，勒馬門旗下看時，見呂布出陣：頭戴三叉束髮紫金冠，體挂西川紅錦百花袍，身披獸面吞頭連環鎧，腰繫勒甲玲瓏獅蠻帶；弓箭隨身，手持畫戟；坐下嘶風赤兔馬；果然是人中呂布，馬中赤兔！News of this movement reaching the confederate lords. Yuan Shao summoned a council. Said Cao Cao, "The occupation of the Pass would cut our armies in two; therefore, we must oppose Dong Zhuo's army on the way." So eight of the commanders —-Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zan —-were ordered to go in the direction of the Tiger Trap Pass to oppose their enemy. Cao Cao and his troops moved among them as reserve to render help where needed. Of the eight, Wang Kuang, the Governor of Henei, was the first to arrive, and Lu Bu went to give battle with three thousand armored horsemen. When Wang Kuang had ordered his army, horse and foot, in battle array, he took his station under the great banner and looked over at his foe. Lu Bu was a conspicuous figure in front of the line. On his head was a triple curved headdress of ruddy gold with pheasant tails. He wore a warring velvet-red robe of Xichuan silk embroidered with thousand flowers, which was overlapped by golden mail adorned with a gaping animal's head, joined by rings at the sides and girt to his waist with a belt fastened by a beautiful lion-head clasp. His bow and arrows were slung on his shoulders, and he carried a long heavy trident halberd. He was seated on his snorting steed Red Hare. Indeed Lu Bu was the man among humans, as Red Hare was the horse among horses.
