Chapter 250 IX [Quai Yue's plan to capture Huaxiong]

That night, inside Sun Jian's large tent.

Sun Jian, Zu Mao, Cheng Pu, Zhao Xu, Kuai Yue and other five people gathered together.The two brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang are now the guests invited by Sun Jian. Kuai Yue is good at strategy and Kuai Liang is good at government affairs.

Sun Jian's other three generals, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi and Sun Ce all stayed in Jiaozhou.Han Dang was stationed in Xiangyang City in Nanyang, Huang Gai led troops south to wipe out the bandits in Lingling County, and Zhu Zhi and Sun Ce led troops south to Guiyang County.

Pang Ji, Kuai Liang and others stayed in Xiangyang City to help Han Dang manage Jingzhou government affairs.

"Yuan Shu, that bastard, actually cut off our army's food and grass!" Zu Mao didn't want food and came back, and Sun Jian was very angry when he learned that Yuan Shu was obstructing him.

Cheng Pu persuaded: "My lord, let's withdraw our troops temporarily. We can't last for two days without food and grass. If the enemy finds out, it will be difficult to escape. The last general suggests that we withdraw our troops overnight tonight."

"My lord, the last general also agrees to withdraw the army, let's see how Yuan Shu explains it when we go back!" Zu Mao agreed with Cheng Pu's suggestion.

Zhao Xu also stood up and said, "Master, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. Yuan Shu just doesn't want to see us win the first prize, and he is probably still coveting Jingzhou. His treachery succeeded."

Like Hua Xiong, Sun Jian was not reconciled in his heart. If there was enough food and grass, he was confident that he would win Hua Xiong, capture Sishui Pass, grab the first prize, and become famous all over the world.

However, he didn't expect Yuan Shu to secretly slander him, which caught him off guard.

"I'm really not reconciled. I can take down Huaxiong and conquer Sishuiguan! Damn Yuan Gonglu!" Sun Jian's face was very gloomy.

At this time, he suddenly found that Kuai Yue on the side hadn't spoken, so he asked, "What do you think, Yidu?"

Kuai Yue had a plan in mind, he bowed his hands and said, "General, I have a plan, which may help the general capture Hua Xiong alive. However, this plan is a bit risky."

When Sun Jian heard that Kuai Yue had a strategy, and that he might help him capture Hua Xiong alive, he immediately became more energetic and asked, "What is the strategy? Tell me quickly."

"General, at this time, the enemy must have known about our army's food shortage, but they are not sure yet. The general can use his plan, and our army's food and grass can last for two days. The next plan is to lie to the sky and cross the sea." Kuai became more detailed. Come on.

"Okay, good strategy. In order to save the emperor, I can only wrong the soldiers." Sun Jian very much agreed with Kuai Yue's strategy.

From that night onwards, martial law began in Sun Jian's barracks, and the news of the army's food shortage was blocked, so that the soldiers were hungry and had to cheer up.

The spies sent by Yang Ding found out the situation and went back to report to him.And Yang Ding reported to Hua Xiong: "General, Sun Jian's camp has suddenly stepped up its guard tonight, and the guards are all in high spirits."

"In this way, the food shortage must be an enemy's conspiracy. The general suggested that it would be more appropriate to withdraw to Sishui Pass." Hou Cheng said after hearing Yang Ding's words.

However, Yang Ding had a different opinion and said, "General, the last general thinks that Sun Jian's barracks suddenly strengthened security tonight, pretending to be a gesture to hide the truth, and then the army quietly retreated."

Hou Cheng and Yang Ding had different views, Hua Xiong was undecided, but he was more inclined to Yang Ding's view, so he said: "Continue to send people to closely monitor the movements of Sun Jian and the movements of the coalition forces of the princes. At the same time, our army must also strengthen its defenses. .If it is true that Sun Jian’s army has cut off food supplies, and they can’t survive for two days, then this general will wait for them for two days.”

Hua Xiong was also worried that Sun Jian wanted to confuse him, make him careless, and attack him, so he didn't dare to be careless, and was going to wait two days to talk.After two days, if it is true that Sun Jian's barracks ran out of food, then it will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If not, he will withdraw to Sishui Pass.

Two days passed, which was the night of the third day.

Sun Jian's barracks began to become agitated. Many soldiers were weak and weak from hunger, and many people fled everywhere. The barracks' defense was paralyzed and it was in chaos.

"General, Sun Jian couldn't hold on any longer. Sun Jian's barracks were in chaos. Many people starved to death and soldiers fled everywhere. Now is the best time for our army to attack and annihilate them in one fell swoop." Yang Ding ran over excitedly.

"Haha, God help me too!" Hua Xiong laughed loudly, and ordered: "Send my military order, and the whole army will attack Sun Jian's barracks immediately!"

After a stick of incense.

kill kill kill
The sound of charging and killing came from outside Sun Jian's barracks, the sound was deafening.

The outskirts of the barracks were in a mess at this time, people who were hungry, people who grabbed dirt to eat, people who starved to death, and people who escaped everywhere.

"No, Sun Jian may have already escaped. Don't worry about these starving ghosts. Let me chase after you. Sun Jian must be killed!" Looking at the messy surroundings of the barracks, there were really starving people, and those who were about to starve to death There was a large crowd, probably nearly a thousand people, shocking, convinced Hua Xiong, and led the army to chase and kill Sun Jian.

In the entire Sun Jian barracks, there were indeed nearly a thousand people who were about to starve to death. However, a small number of those who died of starvation were real, and most of them were the corpses of soldiers who had died before.

In order to convince Hua Xiong, Kuai Yue asked Sun Jian to select nearly a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, cut off their food two days ago, and at the same time gave their food, and most of the others, to the main elite soldiers.

First, they concealed the truth and made Hua Xiong suspicious and dare not launch an attack immediately, and then used a bitter trick to lure Hua Xiong's more than ten thousand troops into the urn with nearly a thousand people as bait.

Hua Xiong led his army to chase not far away, and came to a valley that was not too big or small, barely able to set up an ambush, and was ambushed by Sun Jian here.

"Kill" killings everywhere on both sides of the valley!
Sun Jian's more than [-] elite soldiers rushed out from both sides of the valley,
"General, there is an ambush among us!"

Hou Cheng's worries were now fulfilled.

"How did this happen? It was true that nearly a thousand soldiers in Sun Jian's camp were starving to death. Sun Jian should have run out of food. Why did he set up an ambush to fight back?" Hua Xiong couldn't believe it.

Yang Ding's face was uncertain, and he had a guess in his mind: "I'm afraid Sun Jian is planning to sacrifice those nearly a thousand people, playing a trick to lure me into the trap, it's really vicious!"

"Sun Jian, you are ruthless!" Hua Xiong shouted violently, "Follow me to kill!"

The battle didn't end until dawn, Yang Ding was killed, Hua Xiong and Hou Cheng were captured.One-third of Huaxiong's ten thousand men died, one-third escaped, and one-third were captured.

However, Sun Jian didn't stop. While staying with the main force, he held Huaxiong's flag to pretend to attack Sishui Pass, while at the same time, he ordered Huaxiong's barracks to be looted and distributed food to thousands of soldiers who were already starving.

Before sunset that day, the troops led by Sun Jian captured Sishui Pass.

On the second day, Cao Cha exposed Yuan Shu's detainment of Sun Jian's grain and grass in the tent of the central army of the allied forces of the princes, which was nearly [-] miles away from Sishui Pass.
