Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 44 Zhang Xiong vs Hua Xiong

Sun Jian fled with the remnants of his soldiers, Hua Xiong led his army in hot pursuit!The pinch of red hair on Sun Jian's helmet was so eye-catching that the Xiliang army knew that it must be the enemy general.Just look for that pinch of red hair chasing.

Zu Mao also discovered this situation, knowing that running like this would be a game to the end.Wu Shun said to Sun Jian: "Master, the red scarf on your head is too eye-catching, quickly take it off and change it with me!"

"Da Rong, put on my helmet, the Xiliang army will not let you go, let's run quickly!" Sun Jian was unwilling to let his generals take risks.

"My lord, there is no time, hurry up! Otherwise, I will die right in front of you!" Zu Mao said as if he raised his knife and killed himself.

"Okay, I'll change it!" Sun Jian couldn't bear Zu Mao's death like this, so he took off his helmet and handed it to Zu Mao.

Zu Mao put on Sun Jian's helmet and led a group of people to flee to the other side.Xiliang army saw the red hair go to the other side, speeded up and went straight to Zu Mao.There were far fewer Xiliang troops chasing Sun Jian, and it was easy for Sun Jian to escape by a small path.

Zu Mao was chased so closely by the Xiliang army that he had nowhere to go, but fortunately there was a forest in front of him to hide from.Zu Mao hung Sun Jian's helmet on an unburned pillar, and took his soldiers into the woods to hide.

In the moonlight, when the Xiliang army saw that tuft of hair stopped, they didn't dare to attack at will, so they could only surround that area.

After Hua Xiong arrived, he shot at the helmet with a bow and arrow, only then did he know he had hit the trick.He had no choice but to lead the soldiers to chase, until they found the woods where Zu Mao was hiding, Hua Xiong ordered the soldiers to stop.But he didn't want Zu Mao to protrude from the forest and attack Hua Xiong with two swords.Seeing the enemy general approaching, Hua Xiong calmly raised his sword and killed Zu Mao neatly.

The fighting continued until dawn, when Hua Xiong withdrew his troops and returned to Sishui Pass.

After Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang found Sun Jian, Sun Jian only learned the news of Zu Mao's death in battle.For a moment, the heart was broken, the hero burst into tears, and regretted so much!
"My lord, don't be like this, Darong is also for my lord's escape, so that I can die a worthy death!" The three generals comforted.

Sun Jian also knew that people cannot be resurrected after death, so he could only keep his grief and anger in his heart, and he must avenge Zu Mao in the future!

The defeat was an indisputable fact, so Sun Jian had no choice but to send someone to tell Yuan Shao the news of his defeat. At the same time, he hoped that Yuan Shao would march faster so that he could meet his defeated army.Now he has no grain of rice!
Sun Jian took the remnants of the army and was about to leave. He went to Suanzao to join the coalition forces.I don't want a group of soldiers and horses to appear in front of me, menacing.

"Heaven is going to kill me, Sun Jian?" Sun Jian sighed.

Surrendering without fighting is not the style of his old Sun family. For a brave general like Sun Jian, he would rather die than surrender if he is afraid of death!

"Brother Wentai is in front of you?" Wu Shun asked loudly when he saw a group of people ahead, and one of them, Sun Zi, was flying the flag in the wind.

Hearing the visitor's question, Sun Jian knew that he was a friend rather than an enemy, and most of his worries disappeared.

"But the virtuous brother Wuling Zixuan came in person?" It seemed that the man was dressed in bright armor and his army was neatly dressed. Who else was there but the Wuling army.

"Brother Wentai, why did you come here?" Wu Shun asked strangely. Didn't Sun Jian win the battle first when he appeared at Sishuiguan?

Seeing that Sun Jian had lost his helmet, his armor was torn, and all the soldiers under his command looked exhausted.The three generals bowed their hands to Wu Shun sadly, as a greeting, and Zu Maozu Darong was missing among them.It seems that Sun Jian was indeed defeated, and even lost the general.

"Oh, Hua Xiong is treacherous. He knew that my camp was short of food, so he sneaked up on me at night. In order to let me escape, Dayong divided up his troops and fled. Hua Xiong chopped off his head!"

The more Sun Jian talked, the angrier he became, he wished he could raise his troops to attack Sishui Pass again and fight Na Huaxiong to the death!

"My condolences to Brother Wentai, now we can only camp on the spot and wait for the arrival of the coalition forces to make plans!" Wu Shun said.

He has few soldiers, so he would not choose to challenge before the pass.

Sun Jian could understand Wu Shun's reluctance to fight.Sishuiguan has at least [-] defenders, and Wushun's less than [-] Wuling army is not enough to put people between their teeth.What's more, Hua Xiong is a fierce general, and the Xiliang army is indeed elite.

Wu Shun and Sun Jian set up camp on the spot and waited for the large coalition forces. The next day Hua Xiong led his troops to the front of the camp to compete.

"Brother, you just let me kill that enemy general, that guy is really annoying!"

Seeing Hua Xiong showing off his power outside the camp, Zhang Xiong wanted to fight, but Wu Shun didn't allow it.All the generals under the tent have invited to fight, Guan Hai invited to fight, not allowed, Shi Zhongyu asked to fight, not allowed, Sha Moke asked to fight, not allowed!The generals under Wu Shun's command felt aggrieved.

"General Zhang, my lord is afraid of Hua Xiong, right?"

Shi Zhongyu asked for a battle many times but was rejected, deliberately speaking loudly, Wu Shun in the tent could hear it.As soon as Wu Shun posted it, it's not time for you to play, so wait a little longer!

"Give up, my elder brother will be afraid? Can't you see that elder brother is waiting for an opportunity..." Zhang Xiong has a bad temper, and he doesn't want anyone to speak ill of Wu Shun.The saliva sprayed Shi Zhongyu all over his face.

Shi Zhongyu was helpless, Zhang Xiong was straightforward and couldn't understand what he meant.He didn't dare to contradict Zhang Xiong, Shi Zhongyu was still in awe of Zhang Xiong's strength, and his own life was almost lost in this guy's hands.

"In that case, I'm going on patrol."

After finding a reason, Shi Zhongyu left, he always felt a little guilty when facing Zhang Xiong, very uncomfortable!He felt that this might be caused by the great gap in strength, so when he was free, Shi Zhongyu would practice martial arts with all his might!
Hua Xiong challenged Sun Jian by name in front of the camp. Sun Jian wanted to fight several times, but was persuaded by Wu Shun.

"My dear brother, there is no need to persuade me anymore, Hua Xiong's dog's head will be cut off today!"

Sun Jian hated Hua Xiong because of Zu Mao.

"Brother Wentai, our army is weak now, so we can only close the gates of the camp and wait for reinforcements. Don't act rashly! When the coalition army arrives, we will march into Guanzhong with my brother and fight against Huaxiong!"

What Wu Shun said was not unreasonable. There were few soldiers on his own side, so it was really not suitable for them to fight.Sun Jian could only suppress his restless heart, drink a big bowl to relieve boredom!
Not long after, Yuan Shao led the coalition forces of the princes and finally arrived.Yuan Shao asked all the princes to enter the accounts to discuss important matters. Seeing that Gongsun Zan was followed by three people, when Yuan Shao asked, Gongsun Zan explained Liu Bei's identity and the credit for the crusade against the Yellow Turban.

Liu Bei was about to deliver his eloquent speech, but was held back by Yuan Shao's words. "Since Xuande is a member of the Han family, please sit down!" It turned out that Yuan Shao was just respecting his name as a Han family member.

After entering the big account, the first thing Sun Jian did was to ask Yuan Shu why he withdrew his military rations, which led to a big defeat!
Yuan Shu said that the military rations were distributed on time and according to the amount, and there was no deduction.Sun Jian was so angry that he wanted to arrest Yuan Shu violently, but Wu Shun pushed him down ahead of time.

"Previously General Bao's younger brother, Bao Zhong, refused to listen to orders, and led his troops without permission, and was defeated by Hua Xiong. I didn't expect Wentai to be defeated by Hua Xiong now. Who else can fight now!"

As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao naturally had to summarize the results of the battle before distributing tasks.

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, all the princes below fell silent, even the Jiangdong Tigers were defeated, so going up alone would definitely not be able to please them.

The anger in the big tent became embarrassing, and a messenger came in to report to Yuan Shao: "Hua Xiong is holding Sun Taishou's helmet with a bamboo pole, and he is yelling and fighting outside the camp!"

"Who will go out and kill that Hua Xiong!" Yuan Shao asked.

Wu Shun originally intended to let Zhang Xiong play in the battle and make Zhang Xiong famous.With Zhang Xiong's strength, it's easy to take down Zhang Xiong!But just like safflower needs green leaves as a support, it will look delicate and beautiful.You have to let other people go first to highlight Zhang Xiong's superb skills!
Yuan Shu winked behind him, and one person came out and said, "The young general is willing to go!"

The princes took a closer look, and it turned out that it was Yu She, Yuan Shu's heroic general.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed to see someone fighting, and immediately ordered Yu She to fight.After a while, a soldier reported that Yu She was fighting Hua Xiong, and Sanhe was beheaded by his horse!The princes were shocked, and Yuan Shu secretly cursed Yu She as a waste.

At this time, the morale of the coalition army could not be lowered. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, said: "There is a general in our army, Pan Feng, who can kill Hua Xiong!" Yuan Shao hastily ordered Pan Feng to fight.Not long after, another soldier came to report: "General Pan was also beheaded by Hua Xiong!"

The princes were shocked, they didn't expect Hua Xiong to be so powerful!
Wu Shun's attention was now focused on Gongsun Zan, more precisely, on the three people behind Gongsun Zan.The three brothers Liu Bei, the Three Musketeers in the late Han Dynasty, and Wu Shun finally saw the real person.Liu Bei looks fair and clean, with big ears and long hands, not as exaggerated as the earrings reaching the shoulders and the hands reaching the knees!
Guan Yu's appearance is similar to what later generations describe. He is nine feet long, with red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, and a long beard two feet below his jaw.As for Zhang Fei, similar to Zhang Xiong, he looks like a tough guy!

Seeing that no one answered from the princes, Yuan Shao put on a face and said: "It's a pity that our general Yan Liangwen Chou is not here, if anyone is here, I won't be afraid of Hua Xiong..."

"Hua Xiong's generation, put in a bid to sell the ear, I am willing to go to war, behead his head, and dedicate it to the general!"

Before Yuan Shao finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone.Yuan Shao asked, "Who are you?"

Gongsun Zan replied, "This is Xuande's second younger brother. His surname is Guan, his name is Yu, and his style name is Yunchang."

"But Guan Yunchang, who made a lot of contributions in the crusade against the Yellow Turban?" Cao Cao asked.Cao Cao heard about Liu Bei when he was crusading against the Yellow Turban, so he naturally knew Guan Yu's bravery.

"It's this person!" Gongsun Zan replied.

Yuan Shao asked again, "What is Guan Yu's current official position?"

Gongsun Zan replied, "Xuande is under the command of the horse archer."

Yuan Shu wanted to fight when he heard a bow and horse commander, and he didn't pay attention to these princes. Just now he defeated the general Yu She, and now he finally found an outlet for his anger.

"An archer just wants to fight. Does he despise the princes from all walks of life who don't have generals? Don't make trouble here. Come here and blast me out!"

"Gaolu doesn't have to be like this. If Guan Yu can say such a thing, he must have the corresponding strength. If he can win against Hua Xiong, it will also show that our allied forces are full of talents. If we lose, it's not too late to blame!" Cao Cao hurriedly persuaded road.

"If you send a horse bow commander to fight, you're afraid of being ridiculed by Hua Xiong," Yuan Shao said.

It was at this time that Wu Shun was waiting, and Yuan Shao also disliked Guan Yu, and most of the princes were not optimistic about a horse archer.How much force can such a low position have.In fact, Guan Yu's position was dragged down by Liu Bei. After the Yellow Turban War, Liu Bei was appointed as the county magistrate of Pingyuan. How many soldiers and horses can Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have?

Cao Cao was about to say something, but was interrupted by Wu Shun: "Leader Yuan, I have a strong general Zhang Xiong under my tent, it would not be difficult to kill that Hua Xiong!"

"Zixuan has such a strong general, so he can lead the battle quickly!"

Hearing that Wu Shun was willing to contribute, Yuan Shao was naturally happy, and immediately ordered Zhang Xiong to fight.Anyway, he is also a general under the command of the prefect of a county, and his status is much higher than that of Guan Yu, the horse archer.

"Second brother, be more careful in this battle!" Wu Shun said to Zhang Xiong.Although I believe in Zhang Xiong's strength, I am really worried.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll go back as soon as I go!" Zhang Xiong said impatiently that his elder brother was willing to let him play.

"General Zhang is heroic. After drinking this glass of wine, it will not be too late to fight again!" Seeing Zhang Xiong's domineering sideways, Cao Cao ordered someone to heat up a glass of wine and hand it to Zhang Xiong.
"Don't drink the wine for now, kill the enemy general in a while, and then drink it when you come back! Brother, I want a pot of immortal wine!" Zhang Xiong didn't take Cao Cao's wine, said to Cao Cao and Wu Shun, and led the troops to battle up!

　Zhang Xiong fights Hua Xiong, how long will it be?
