Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 73
On the way Sun Jian led his troops to Sishuiguan, Li Ru also received an emergency document and hurriedly reported it to Dong Zhuo, who was shocked.He knew Sun Jian's ability, and he had seen the ability of Sun Jian's soldiers to attack the city.The Jiangdong Tigers really startled Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo hurriedly gathered all the generals to discuss how to deal with the enemy.Lu Bu stepped forward and said that he would lead his troops to meet the enemy.However, Dong Zhuo did not immediately agree. After the Bingzhou Army returned and surrendered, Dong Zhuo was also afraid of Lu Bu's prestige in the Bingzhou Army, so he deprived Lv Bu of his military power. Now Lv Bu can only control [-] cavalry.

At such a critical moment, Dong Zhuo was also afraid that Lu Bu would take advantage of this to make a comeback, and it would be troublesome if he became too big to lose.Lv Bu could also see Dong Zhuo's melancholy, and someone in the Xiliang army also sneered, "How can you believe a man who betrays his master." Someone deliberately mocked the embarrassed Lv Bu.

What kind of person is Lu Bu, how could he be ridiculed like this, but Lu Bu didn't get angry, he just turned his head slowly and nailed the guy who said this.

Although Lu Bu didn't see who said it, but when he practiced martial arts to the level of Lu Bu, he didn't need to look at it at all. He knew who it was just by the direction of the voice. Hu Zhen who said this was also stared at by Lu Bu. He also regretted his nonsense.

Murderous aura slowly emanated from Lu Bu, Hu Zhen felt as if he was in the middle of a mountain of swords and blood, and he could feel that Lu Bu was about to strike in the next moment.

Dong Zhuo also saw the contradictions among the subordinates, and when he was about to speak, Hua Xiong volunteered to stand up and said: "How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? Of course, a hero like General Lu Bu should act at a critical moment. Besides, the prime minister's safety That's the most important thing, leave these trivial matters to me, and I'm willing to lead the army to wipe out these clowns for the prime minister."

It would be easy for someone to come forward to solve the matter, Dong Zhuo originally intended to let Hua Xiong go, so Dong Zhuo said: "Hua Xiong is right, this clown will not bother Feng Xian, my safety is indeed the most important. Fengxian will stay and protect me first, and soon there will definitely be a chance for Fengxian to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

Lu Bu didn't answer, just looked at Hu Zhen with a cold snort, and then returned to his position, Hu Zhen finally came back to his senses, next to Hua Xiong hurriedly stepped forward to support him.This kid, I'm afraid he will collapse if he lasts for a while.

So Dong Zhuo ordered Hua Xiong to be the captain of the hussars, and together with Li Su, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Cen led [-] troops, and rushed to Sishui Pass in the starry night.

Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jinbei, was afraid that Sun Jian would win the first prize, so he secretly sent his younger brother Bao Zhong with 3000 troops to take a small road to Guanxia to challenge.

Huaxiong had just arrived at Sishui Pass within two hours when he heard someone coming to challenge him. All the soldiers of the Xiliang Army went up to the city to see that there were only about 3000 troops outside the city. Probably the coalition forces did not know that there were reinforcements at Sishui Pass. Otherwise, who would be stupid enough to use 3000 people to attack a pass defended by more than 5 people.

Hua Xiong led 500 troops into battle. In front of the two armies, Bao Zhong shouted arrogantly: "Who is coming? Hurry up and report your name. I, Bao Zhong, do not kill unknown people. In the credit book, there must be a record of merit." It’s only the name of the soldier, soldiers, don’t you think so, hahaha.”

Bao Zhong's arrogance and arrogance actually won the support of the Jibei Army, and the three thousand Jibei Army immediately made a fuss, laughing at Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong didn't get angry when he saw this situation, but sneered at the corner of his mouth. He ignored Bao Zhong's inquiry and arrogance. Care about Hua Xiong running towards him.

Seeing that Hua Xiong was only ten steps away from him, Bao Zhong suddenly raised his sword and shouted, "Take your life."

However, the result was not what Bao Zhong expected.

Hua Xiong moved very quickly, and when he was five steps away from Bao Zhong, Hua Xiong suddenly accelerated, Bao Zhong couldn't react in time, and was hacked to death by Hua Xiong, which has to be said to be Bao Zhong's sorrow.The Xiliang cavalry immediately rushed forward and entered the Jibei army. The three thousand Jibei troops would not dare to fight without a commander.

Hua Xiong didn't pursue them either, and after ordering the battlefield to be cleaned up, he led his army back to Sishui Pass.

Sun Jian encountered stragglers from the Jibei Army on the road. After learning what happened, he didn't talk nonsense, and immediately brought four generals to the front of the pass.After a while, Hu Zhen led 5000 troops to meet the enemy.

The two armies set up a battle. Cheng Pu, the fierce general of the Jiangdong Army, went out with a spear. Hu Zhen was not afraid, and even went out to fight Cheng Pu. However, Cheng Pu was obviously much stronger than Hu Zhen, and he stabbed Hu Zhen to death within a few rounds. Zhen.

Sun Jian sent his army to attack the city, and arrows rained down on the city, so he had to lead his troops back to Liangdong, and sent people to Yuan Shao's place to report victory, and then went to Yuan Shu's place to urge food.

Yuan Shu listened to the counselor's slander and refused to distribute food.Sun Jian continued to attack for several days, but the Xiliang army did not fight.Hua Xiong wanted to go out of the city to fight Sun Jian, but was stopped by Li Su. It turned out that Li Su had a plan, and he never wanted to defeat Sun Jian at Sishui Pass.

After another two days like this, Sun Jian never continued to attack the city, Yuan Shu's grain and grass had not been delivered, and Sun Jian boasted about Haikou from the coalition forces. Now it can be said that he is neither advancing nor retreating.

Li Su also saw the abnormality of Sun Jian's army, and sent people to investigate and found out that the cause was insufficient food and grass, so he made a plan with Hua Xiong to attack Sun Jian's camp that night.When Sun Jian heard the shouts of killing, he hurriedly put on his clothes to meet the enemy. After a few rounds of fighting, Li Su led the troops and set fire to the back village, and Sun Jian had to retreat.

Hua Xiong rushed up, Sun Jian shot two arrows, but Hua Xiong dodged them, and the bow broke when he shot again, so he had to throw down the bow and run away.Hua Xiong pursued him closely, the Xiliang army was skilled in riding, and they did not lose track even in the dark.

Seeing that the Xiliang army was about to catch up, Zu Mao said: "My lord's red turban is too dazzling, it is easy to be recognized by thieves, please change it with me."

Sun Jian replaced Zu Mao's helmet with a red turban.In the dark night, Zhonghua Xiong could only distinguish the red turban of Sun Jian who had just fought against him, so he led the army to chase after the man wearing the red turban.Zu Mao was chased and saw a broken pillar. He put a red scarf on the pillar and hid in the nearby woods.

Hua Xiong came after him, and Zu Mao swung his swords to slash Hua Xiong. After a few rounds of fighting, Zu Mao was beaten into a panic. When Hua Xiong was about to capture Zu Mao, he heard the sound of a bowstring being pulled.

Hua Xiong came to the iron bridge on horseback out of instinct, and he felt his cheek was scratched by something.Then I heard a voice, "Zhao Yun in Youzhou is here, you and others have fallen into the trap, so don't hurry up and surrender."

Hua Xiong heard the sound of horseshoes, and knew that it must be the Youzhou Army who came to support him. Seeing that his subordinates were too scattered, it was impossible to get together in a short while, so Hua Xiong left Zu Mao to gather his soldiers and immediately Flee back.Defeating Sun Jian tonight is already a great achievement, there is no need to entangle with the coalition forces anymore.

Zu Mao managed to save his life, but when he looked back, he saw Zhao Yun coming with about [-] cavalry.

It turned out that Yuan Shu had been refusing to distribute food and grass for the past few days, which had aroused the suspicion of Gongsun Xu and others, but Yuan Shao refused to allow the Youzhou Army to send troops. Looking around, unexpectedly, just in time for Zu Mao to fight Hua Xiong, Zhao Yun also recognized Sun Jian's red turban and thought it was Sun Jian here.That's how the scene happened just now.

Zhao Yun and others hurried to look for Sun Jian. They knew that they met Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai who were gathering soldiers, but Sun Jian and Sun Ce were nowhere to be seen. They continued to search and found Sun Jian in a forest. coma.

Fortunately, Sun Ce's war horse is strong enough, and both of them ran here relying on Sun Ce's war horse.

After finding Sun Jian, he packed up his troops and sent someone to report to Yuan Shao.Then he set up camp on the spot and waited for the news. After Zhao Yun arranged the affairs here, he also led the army to rush to the coalition camp. After all, he still couldn't come out for too long, otherwise he would give Yuan Shao an excuse to find fault.

Yuan Shao was shocked and hurriedly summoned the princes to discuss what to do. All the princes looked at each other, only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Xu were sneering. Yuan Shao was afraid that Gongsun Xu would cause trouble at this time, so he simply ignored Gongsun Xu. When they couldn't reach a conclusion, a spies reported, "Hua Xiong challenged Sun Taishou with his head scarf on a long pole."

Yuan Shao asked depressedly: "Who dares to fight?"

Sun Jian's new defeat generally made Yuan Shu feel ashamed, so Yuan Shu ordered Xiao general Yu She to lead the army to fight, trying to save face. Yu She was actually seriously ill at this time and was not suitable for fighting at all, but Yuan Shu didn't care. With so many, there was no way, Yu She had no choice but to fight hard.

Gongsun Xu also saw that Yu She had some skills, but his expression was not normal, so Gongsun Xu winked at Tai Shici who was behind him, Tai Shici understood, and followed when everyone was not paying attention.

After a while, a soldier reported back: "General Yu She lost to Hua Xiong, and he was picked off after five rounds." Everyone was shocked, everyone knew Yu She's ability, but they didn't expect Hua Xiong to be so powerful. .

Gongsun Xu felt a little strange in his heart, because according to his years of experience, Yu She's figure and pace are enough to show that his martial arts are not bad, so it is possible that Hua Xiong is really so good that he can defeat Yu She so quickly.Gongsun Xu was puzzled, so he had to wait for Tai Shici to come back and explain.
