The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 404
The fortified battle in Liang County has been going on for more than four or five days.

Zhang Fei took Zhang Xiu along and watched the excitement for several days.

Er Yuan fought with all his strength, and sent out a full [-] troops to besiege the city. After a fierce battle, both sides suffered heavy losses, needless to say.

Originally, with Sun Jian's strength, even if Liang County was not well defended, it would not be a problem to persist for a month or two.But the problem is that when he first arrived in Liang County, the army ran out of food.

No matter how elite soldiers are, it is impossible to fight the enemy on an empty stomach.

Therefore, the morale of Sun Jian's army is getting lower and lower day by day.

Going on like this is of course not an option, and with Sun Jian's personality, it is impossible to sit still and wait for death.

Therefore, on the tenth day when the city was besieged, Sun Jian decided to lead his army to break out of the encirclement under the predicament that the army had already slaughtered horses for food.

Sun Jian gathered all the troops under his command, opened the gate of the city in a dark night, and led his army to rush out.

In this era when almost everyone in the army has night blindness, night combat is certainly not a good choice, especially when the number and morale of the army are at a disadvantage.

But Sun Jian understood that this was his last chance.If he couldn't break out at this time, after the whole army knew the news of the lack of food, no matter how much he, Sun Jian, encouraged the morale, the soldiers would break up and leave.

On the contrary, if he attacks at night, Er Yuan may not be able to react, and maybe he will win for a while.

Unfortunately, Sun Jian miscalculated this time.

Sun Jian's grain and grass had always been supplied by Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu knew better than anyone else how much grain and grass Sun Jian had left.

So when Sun Jian personally led the army out of the city and defeated the siege troops below the city, before he had walked four or five miles, he saw a burst of fire in the distance, and then a sound of horseshoes resounding throughout the world.

Ma Teng led the army to kill him, he immediately swung his sword, and said with a big laugh:

"Sun Wentai, how can you fool the general with such a small skill! Hurry up and take your life!"

As soon as Ma Teng finished speaking, his eldest sons Ma Chao and Pound led their troops to attack Sun Jian.

Sun Jian was shocked, but he didn't dare to fight Ma Teng in the middle of the night, for fear of attracting Er Yuan's other troops, so he had to fight and retreat, losing troops and generals at one time.

Several times during this period, Ma Chao was almost in front of Sun Jian. If Sun Ce hadn't resisted desperately, the spear in Ma Chao's hand would have confronted Sun Jian head-on.

After finally getting rid of Ma Teng's pursuit, Sun Jian found that there were 6000 to [-] soldiers who were killed and scattered in the dark.

So far, Sun Jian's army is less than [-].

What Sun Jian couldn't accept the most was that his younger brother Sun Jing and nephew Sun Ben didn't follow up, and he didn't know whether they were scattered by the rebel army or died in the battle.

After hearing the news, Sun Jian was furious, and immediately looked up to the sky and shouted:
"Yuan Gonglu, Ma Shoucheng, I am at odds with you!"

After saying that, there was another sound of hoofbeats around him, and Lu Bu rode out on a red rabbit horse with a mocking look on his face.

"Sun Wentai, you are about to die here, and you still want to swear to the sky!"

Although Lu Bu said this casually, it made Sun Jian so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

I saw Sun Jian's eyes widening, a pair of tiger eyes staring at Lu Bu not far away, almost gnawing his steel teeth.

"Lu! Feng! First!"

Lu Bu ignored Sun Jian's anger, waved Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, and said loudly:
"kill!"

Another melee started.

Only this time, the two sides are not evenly matched.

Sun Jian had just fought with Ma Teng's Xiliang iron cavalry for a while, and now he was facing the recharged Bingzhou elite, and it was naturally difficult to resist.

After another burst of casualties, Sun Jian finally broke out of the siege again. Not only did he lose thousands of soldiers, but the rest of the soldiers were exhausted by veterans and horses.

Moreover, Sun Jian had a premonition in his heart that if this continued, there would be more pursuers to catch up, and there would be more than one wave.

With this in mind, Sun Jian ordered the entire army to temporarily stop advancing and rest in place.

Cheng Pu hurriedly persuaded: "General, our army is coming back after a big defeat. The enemy may catch up at any time. We should go all out and go until dawn before resting!"

"No, especially at this time, it is more important to preserve the strength of the soldiers, otherwise when the enemy arrives, how will we fight!" Sun Jian shook his head, and then said: "Demou, call Bo Fu for a certain one."

"only!"

Cheng Pu accepted the order with his fists clasped, then turned his horse's head and went to find Sun Ce who was in charge of breaking the rear.

Sun Jian dismounted at this time, sat on the ground to rest for a while, stretched out his blood-stained hand, groped in his bosom for a while, and finally took out a bag.

It was the pocket that Xu Huang threw on the ground when he attacked Sun Jian and retreated in defeat!
Sun Jian didn't hesitate, but directly opened the pocket, took out the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom from inside, and put it in his hand to study it.

The fact that I have come to this point now is all because of this small seal...

Is all this really worth it?
A tinge of regret flooded Sun Jian's heart, but after a while, he forcibly pushed him down.

Now four hundred years old, the great Han Dynasty is almost exhausted, the emperor is young, the imperial court is in decline, and the feudal lords are separated. It is a scene of the end of the world.

Under such circumstances, I got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo by chance,

Isn't this the destiny!
Yes, it must be so!

The current predicament is only temporary, as long as we get through it, there will be a road to the sky and a smooth road in the future!
Even if I, Sun Jian, cannot achieve great achievements in my lifetime, my Sun family will surely prosper in the future!

Next to it, Cheng Pu arrived with Sun Ce, seeing Sun Jian staring at Yuxi in a daze, he coughed lightly.

Only then did Sun Jian come to his senses, put the Chuan Guo Yuxi in his pocket again, and said, "Demou, I have some things to explain to Bo Fu, so you stand down."

"only!"

Cheng Pu cupped his fists and retreated.

Sun Ce walked over, perhaps tired from fighting all the way, he sat down opposite his father.

At this time, his face was full of bitterness, and he was no longer as energetic as before.

"Father, you are looking for me."

Sun Jian nodded, did not speak, but handed the pocket containing the jade seal to Sun Ce.

"Father, what do you mean?"

Sun Ce was shocked, but he didn't dare to pick it up, he just asked.

"Take it."

Sun Jian opened his mouth and stuffed his pocket into Sun Ce's hand at the same time.

"Our army is in a dangerous situation right now, and the pursuers may rush out from behind at any time." Sun Jian looked at his eldest son and said seriously, "According to the current situation, we may not be able to return to Jiangdong."

Hearing this, Sun Ce immediately stood up excitedly, and said loudly, "No, father, we will definitely be able to return to Jiangdong! If father is worried, I am willing to lead five thousand elite soldiers and cut off the heir to father!

Don't worry, father, even if I die, I won't let the enemy take a step forward! "

The father is a hero and a hero!
Although Sun Ce was laughing and joking on weekdays, but when it came to the critical moment, the strong side inherited from Sun Jian was immediately revealed.

But Sun Jian didn't appreciate it. He frowned and scolded: "What are you going to do, don't talk nonsense, you don't need to be a father! Remember, in the current situation, survival should be the first priority, and the rest It's all insignificant."

"Yes, father, I understand." Sun Ce nodded and sat down again.

Sun Jian continued: "The situation is as it is, what I mean is that you and my father and son will lead our troops and retreat in batches.

On the one hand, there are many people and the target is very big, so it is easy for the enemy to find out and chase them up.After dividing the troops, the speed of retreat can also be faster.

Two, there is no food and grass in the army, and the morale of the soldiers is unstable.After dividing the army, it is easier to feed the people, and the soldiers will not be separated. "

After hearing Sun Jian's plan, Sun Ce was still a little puzzled, and said, "Father, even if you want to divide the troops, why did you hand over the Chuan Guoxie to me? Father should carry such a sacred object close to his body."

"Take it, if you are unlucky enough to meet pursuers, this thing... can save your life!"

As a hero, Sun Jian naturally longed for fame and great career.

But he was also a father, a father who had great expectations for his son, so after much deliberation, he still left Yuxi to Sun Ce.

If it is really destiny, the Sun family will be prosperous, and it is the same with or without the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo.

At the same time, Sun Jian had a third reason that he did not mention.

That is, if it is really a dead end this time, the chances of survival will be higher if the troops are divided up.

Both myself and my son have to escape one by one, so we can't put them all here.

Sun Ce still wanted to decline, but he didn't dare to disobey his father after all, so he accepted the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

After resting for a while, Sun Jian's army set off again.

Only this time, Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others were missing from the starting team, and even thousands of soldiers and horses were missing.

Sure enough, when Sun Jian traveled to the fifth watch, he encountered pursuers again.

This time, it was Cao Cao and Bao Xin who blocked Sun Jian's way forward.

Facing the Jiangdong Tiger who was begging Dong Shougong, Cao Cao couldn't bear it, so he didn't come up to Ma Teng and Lu Bu and shouted to kill him, but got off his horse and bowed to Sun Jian from a distance.

Sun Jian admired Cao Cao's deeds of attacking first but was defeated in Bianshui, and seeing Cao Cao salute to him, it was not easy to be rude at the moment.

So, Sun Jian immediately bowed to Cao Cao.

At this time, the sky is gray, but the east has already turned pale.At this moment when the dawn was approaching, Cao Cao couldn't help sighing a lot as he looked at the defeated soldiers behind Sun Jian.

How did the Jiangdong Tigers, who used to be high-spirited and charged forward in the battle against Dong, end up in such a state...

Cao Cao lamented Sun Jian's loyalty and bravery, so he began to make the last persuasion seriously: "General Wentai, such a fetish as the Chuan Guoxie is in the hands of the emperor. As ministers, you and I should not keep it private.

Right now, the general loses his troops, his morale is low, and there is no food in the army. It is a dangerous situation that must be defeated.But as long as the general handed over the Chuan Guoxie, a certain person would turn around and leave, letting the general return east.

Where to go, I hope the general will think about it! "

Facing Cao Cao's persuasion, Sun Jian replied in a cold voice: "Cao Mengde, your kindness has been accepted. Even if someone handed over the Chuan Guoxie, he Yuan Benchu ​​will return it to the emperor?

What a joke, he will definitely make it himself!
The situation is still the same, it is useless to say more, even if you let it go.If someone unfortunately dies at your hands, there will be no complaints! "

Sun Jianzhi's stubbornness really exceeded Cao Cao's expectations. He wanted to say something more, but he didn't say it after all.As Sun Jian said, the situation is already like this... It is useless to say more.

Next to him, Bao Xin saw that Sun Jian didn't know good from bad, so he immediately said, "Meng De, Sun Wentai is stubborn, so why bother talking to him!"

"Well..."

Cao Cao lowered his head and let out a long sigh, and when he raised his head again, his face was full of murderous intent.The previous expressions of sighing, reluctance, and regret completely disappeared.

A hero in troubled times, he never acted sloppily. Seeing that things could not be done, Cao Cao had no reluctance in his heart, only endless killing intent left!
Since you, Sun Wentai, are determined to do this, then a certain person has no choice but to fulfill you!
The next moment, Cao Cao suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, swung it forward, and shouted:
"All the officers and men obey the order, march forward bravely, and kill Sun Jian, the son of the thief!"
