The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() The defeat of Bao Xin's army was a serious blow to the Kwantung Allied Forces.Although they didn't get any advantage from Hua Xiong before, they didn't suffer too much loss, at most they lost a thousand people.But this time Bao Xin asked for orders to fight, but it was a defeat. If Sun Jian hadn't made a timely move, he would not have been able to protect himself, and the impact would have been great.

For the previous failures, the generals of the army can still say the reasons such as bad weather, new arrival of the army, exhaustion of troops and so on.But this time, after several months of rest and the failure after entering the spring season, these reasons naturally cannot be used.This also shook the morale of several members of the Kwantung Allied Army, and some even came up with the idea that they were no match for the Xiliang Army.

In this regard, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.I thought that as long as we entangled these several armies, it would be enough to eliminate Xiliang Dong Zhuo, and his status in the court would be greatly improved, and he would even be able to replace his uncle.Unexpectedly, the battle has been very difficult from the very beginning, and it is even more difficult now. If there is no achievement, the decline may be irreversible.

Whether it was for his own fame or for the excommunication of the imperial court, this time Yuan Shao really went ruthless.On the second day after Bao Xin and the others returned, he recruited the chief generals of several groups of troops into his command tent, and discussed how to defeat the enemy in front of him as soon as possible, so as to stabilize the morale of the army that was about to collapse.

Yuan Shao swept across the many generals in front of him with a heavy face, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has also seen that after we joined forces, we were actually blocked by a small Yangcheng in front of us. Some of them repeatedly Defeating to the enemy will really damage the prestige of our coalition army. If this continues, I'm afraid it will fuel the momentum of the Xiliang army. At that time, it will be impossible to retreat and protect ourselves. So today I invite everyone I came here just to ask if you have any strategies to defeat the enemy?"

After hearing this, all the generals had serious expressions on their faces. They had suffered some losses under Hua Xiong and the Xiliang Army, and now thinking about it, they feel quite ashamed.However, a few people still reluctantly said: "Although the Xiliang army has a bit of an advantage now, it is only due to the advantage of the location. And we are far superior to the Xiliang army in terms of strength, there is always a way to win."

"Really? If that's the case, then why is our army defeated again and again? Now, more than half of General Bao's troops have suffered casualties. If this happens two more times, our advantage in military strength will be completely gone. Don't forget, everyone, what we are facing now is Huaxiong's mere 1 horsemen!" Yuan Shao was upset, and his words were a bit serious.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, everyone didn't know how to explain it, so they just kept silent.

"In terms of military strength, we are far superior to Hua Xiong's army. In terms of geographical advantages, in fact, he didn't take advantage of us. He didn't even defend the city. He took the initiative to attack us several times. Under such circumstances, our army is still the same. Defeat after defeat, if we fail to find out the root of the problem, it will not be easy for us to take down Yangcheng." Yuan Shao glanced at the crowd, and finally fell on Bao Xin: "For this point, General Bao must be deeply concerned. I have experience, but I don’t know if you can see anything.” The implication is naturally to ask Bao Xin, because before the battle, he swore that he could change the unfavorable situation before.

"Hmph!" Bao Xin snorted coldly.Originally, because of his heavy injuries, he didn't want to offend the people around him, but now he was forced to face him, and he had to say something: "It is true that I was a little careless and underestimated the enemy, that's why I suffered such heavy injuries, but it was really just me. Is it because of the army? I have some words that are stuck in my throat, and I have to say them today!

"What did we say when we formed an alliance? We want to eradicate the traitor Dong Zhuo for the imperial court, and we want to wipe out the Xiliang army. Since we formed an alliance, we should act as one and work together. But the result? It's really on the battlefield, But we are still fighting on our own. We are not as good as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in terms of combat power, but we still refuse to show the advantages of joining forces. We only know how to preserve our own strength.

"In the battle a few days ago, when our army was attacked by the Xiliang army, Yuan Gonglu's army was stationed thirty miles away from me. But he didn't send any troops to rescue us. If Sun Wentai hadn't led the army to appear in time, I'm afraid The more than [-] people under Bao Xin's troops will all be lost in Yangcheng! President Yuan, what I said is from the bottom of my heart. If we really want to win, we must abandon the idea of ​​doing our own thing and work together!" After saying these words, Bao Xin cupped his hands and walked away.

Immediately, everyone in the handsome tent was embarrassed, and no one spoke for a long time.These words, in fact, everyone knows it in their hearts, but it's just tacit understanding.Bao Xin mentioned that Yuan Gonglu was Yuan Shao's brother, and even the leader brother had his own plans, which really made everyone feel very uncomfortable.But in fact, including Bao Xin, everyone here who is willing to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo is selfish, so how can they change their original intentions just because of these words?

Seeing the strange atmosphere, Yuan Shao could only cough and say, "General Bao lost his composure because his heartbroken brother died in battle. But he also said something crucial, that is, our group of people still doesn't have a tacit understanding. Only then have we repeatedly won the victory for those Xiliang people. So starting from today, we must work together, no matter which group of people is attacked by the Huaxiong army, the other groups must rescue as soon as possible." Said Then, he glanced at Yuan Shu at the side.

Although Yuan Shu was upset, he still clasped his fists and said, "I've made a note of this, and if someone is attacked in the future, I will rush to rescue them as soon as possible."

"Let's talk about this later. What we have to face now is Hua Xiong in Yangcheng. Do you have any strategies to break the city?" Yuan Shao quickly adjusted his mood and brought out the key issue.After repeated setbacks, the Kwantung Allied Forces desperately needed a big victory to boost their morale. Naturally, it would be best if they could break through Yangcheng and completely defeat the Huaxiong Army.

Regarding this, none of the generals spoke.Given what happened to Bao Xin, they really didn't have the confidence to capture Yangcheng and defeat Hua Xiong's army.When Yuan Shao saw this situation, he sighed secretly: "It's a pity that my two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, are not here. Otherwise, with their abilities, they will surely lead the army to take down Yangcheng. By then, I will be in the hearts of all the troops The status will definitely increase greatly!"

Just when some people hesitated to move forward, and some sighed that the timing was not good, one person suddenly stood up and said, "I am willing to lead an army to take down Yangcheng!" Everyone looked, but it was Sun Jian who had just arrived.

"I've heard about the reputation of the fierce tiger in Jiangdong for a long time, but seeing it today is really extraordinary!" As soon as the magnificent Sun Jian stood up, people's eyes lit up, and Yuan Shao even sighed: "General Sun is really sure to take down this city." ?”

"It shouldn't be difficult to take down this city as long as you use your troops properly." Sun Jian said carefully, "This Yangcheng is just a small city. Compared with Luoyang or the Hulao Pass behind it, the terrain and the city walls here are not difficult. I have the confidence to take him down."

"Good! General Sun is really responsible, Zhang Miao admires it!" Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao couldn't help but praise.

"General Sun has just fought against Hua Xiong's army and successfully rescued General Bao from his subordinates. He must know a lot about Hua Xiong's army and Yangcheng. It is indeed more suitable for you to go than us."

"Yes, yes, if General Sun is willing to go, I am willing to pay two thousand hu to reward the three armies!"... After hearing that Sun Jian intended to attack, all the generals immediately swept away the silence just now, and spoke one after another. Sun Jian went there.

"Okay! Since General Sun intends to destroy the thief, then Shao is here to ask the general, I hope you can take down Yangcheng as soon as possible!" Yuan Shao also got up and said.

"I promise to live up to your trust! It's late today, and I will lead the army westward tomorrow morning. Then I ask you generals to take care of the rear for me!" Sun Jian cupped his hands before leaving.

Immediately, these generals also left one after another, only Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu stayed.Yuan Shao looked at his younger brother and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Yuan Shu smiled: "Do you really think that Sun Jian can accomplish anything?"

"It's hard to say. However, the name of the Jiangdong tiger didn't come out of thin air. Since he dared to say that, he was always somewhat sure."

"Jiangdong Tiger... This person is very famous, don't you worry that he will threaten your position as the leader after taking down Yangcheng?"

"Now is not to worry about this time, let's look at his performance first. If he is really successful, it will be good for us. Besides, just a Yangcheng is not our goal. There are Hulaoguan and Luoyang City behind us. We have plenty Opportunity." Yuan Shao said solemnly.

?????

"How is the general? What did you talk about with those generals?" When Sun Jian returned to the army, Cheng Pu and other generals surrounded him.

"These people are all selfish, and this trip to attack Dong is not optimistic." Sun Jian sighed worriedly.Then he said some words from the gathering just now: "It seems that there are more than [-] people, and the momentum is huge, but in fact it is a mess. What do we have to wipe out the Xiliang rebels?"

After hearing these words, all the generals were also worried.But then, Sun Jian said again: "But now is not the time to worry about these things. Our top priority is to try to capture Yangcheng. Since I have received the military order from the leader, I will go all out! Let everyone have a good rest tonight, Tomorrow morning, follow me to attack the city!"

"Here!" All the generals hurriedly agreed, and they all went down to prepare for battle.
