Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 74
Zu Mao was wearing Sun Jian's red turban, Hua Xiong chased him all the way, and he couldn't get rid of it.

In desperation, he could only take off the red turban and hang it behind a courtyard column that had not been burned by the fire, but he himself sneaked into the woods not far away to hide.

Hua Xiong led some soldiers to chase up, under the moonlight, he saw the red turban hanging behind the courtyard pillar, but he didn't go forward, let the soldiers shoot it with arrows.

However, there was no figure behind the courtyard pillar, and Hua Xiong finally realized that it was a trick, so he rode around behind the courtyard pillar, took off the red turban, and turned his back to the woods not far away.

"Take your life!"

Zu Mao, who was hiding behind the woods, saw Hua Xiong's back was turned towards him, so he galloped out on his horse, brandished his two knives, and slashed at Hua Xiong, wanting to take Hua Xiong's life.

Hua Xiong knew it was a trick, so why didn't he take precautions? When he heard the voice behind him, he turned his horse's head, glared at him, and let out a deafening shout: "Drink~!"

Zu Mao was stunned by Hua Xiong's yell, and his movements slowed down, but the horse was still running straight towards Hua Xiong. When he reacted, he saw a flash of cold light, and a big knife had already descended on him. In front of him, gradually enlarged in his eyes, with horrified eyes, watching the big knife swinging down into his chest.

puff~~
The sound of a sharp knife cutting into his chest sounded, and Zu Mao opened his eyes wide in horror, spit out a big mouthful of blood, fell from the horse's back, and died on the spot.

Seeing that it wasn't Sun Jian, Hua Xiong felt a little regretful, got off his horse, cut off Zu Mao's head, hung it around the horse's neck, then got on the horse and led the soldiers to continue the pursuit, after all, Sun Jian's army hadn't run far.

But said.

Sun Jian led all the generals to fight and flee, but they were still unable to overcome Huaxiong's powerful army. On a hill, they were surrounded by a large army led by Li Su and Zhao Qin, and they couldn't break out.

Hua Xiong, who killed Zu Mao, also led his troops to arrive, rode forward, looked at Sun Jian, and shouted: "Sun Jian, your power is over, why don't you surrender!"

Sun Jian saw Zu Mao's head hung on the horse's neck by Hua Xiong, his eyes turned red, and he cursed: "You are the sinner of the world, you are helping the tyrant to do evil and bring chaos to the court, I would rather die than surrender!"

He also understands the current situation, it is impossible to escape, but it is also impossible for him to surrender to Dong Zhuo, it is just for war.

Hearing this, Hua Xiong was no longer ready to persuade him. He admired Sun Jian as a man. If it wasn't for the hostile relationship, he might still be able to sit together and eat meat and drink. However, Dong Zhuo has kindness to him. Even if Dong Zhuo changed, The kindness still needs to be repaid, so he swung his big knife and wanted to kill the soldiers.

At this time.

Boom~~
A burst of rapid horseshoes sounded from behind, and they rushed straight out from behind the hill.

"Don't worry about Wentai! Kill!"

There was a loud shout, and a young man in white led hundreds of cavalry to rush out from behind, and charged behind the Hua Xiong army surrounding Sun Jian's army.

There are four other generals beside the white clothed boy, rushing into the army like a tiger into a flock of sheep, wherever he goes, there is not a single enemy.

Hua Xiong's army did not expect the enemy's reinforcements to arrive, so they didn't react for a while, and were abruptly torn open by hundreds of cavalry, rushing into the encirclement.

Looking back, Sun Jian saw that it was Liu Qi who had always kept a low profile in the alliance of princes. He was not considered a member of the alliance of princes, but stayed in the alliance because of Cao Cao's relationship.

Seeing Liu Qi leading the reinforcements rushing towards him, he was overjoyed, but when he thought of Zu Mao's head hanging by Hua Xiong's neck, he wanted to kill Hua Xiong with a knife and avenge Zu Mao.

However, he was stopped by Liu Qi.

Liu Qi saw that Sun Jian was surrounded by young generals, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai were not there, and there were only a thousand soldiers, while Hua Xiong had tens of thousands of troops.

He came to save Sun Jian, he didn't want to include himself here, the main thing is that he didn't want Hua Xiong to die, otherwise Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun could still kill Hua Xiong, so he said: "Brother Wentai, the future will be long, and follow me to lead the army to hide and kill, and we will discuss it at that time!"

Hearing this, Sun Jian finally let go of his intention to rush towards Huaxiong, and led his army together with Liu Qi to break out of the weak spot that had been torn open and had not yet re-encircled.

When Hua Xiong saw that Liu Qi led his army to break through the encirclement, he ordered the soldiers to cover up and kill him. When he wanted to go straight to Sun Jian, Sun Jian had joined Liu Qi.

If there were only Sun Jian and Liu Qi, he would still rush over, but when he saw the generals around Liu Qi, he let go of such thoughts, and he noticed that when Liu Qi talked to Sun Jian, he still looked at him with a playful look. He glanced at it, which made him even less interested in rushing forward, without any certainty, and could only rely on the number of people.

However, it is useless to have a large number of people, plus that torn hole.

Liu Qi asked Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to lead the cavalry to rush forward, and then tore open the gap that had not been fully repaired, and led the soldiers and horses to march away.

In this regard, Hua Xiong had no choice but to hide behind and chase until dawn before withdrawing his troops and returning to Sishui Pass. Although he did not kill Sun Jian, he also killed one of Sun Jian's generals and broke Sun Jian's camp , Hurt Sun Jianjun's vitality, and relieve the trouble of Sishuiguan, it can be regarded as a big victory.

"Who is that young man who came to rescue Sun Jian?" Hua Xiong asked Li Su.

He has never met Liu Qi before, so he doesn't know Liu Qi, and the generals around Liu Qi have left a deep impression on him. Such a simple character, and one of the vassals, of course needs to be paid attention to. Among the intelligence, there is no such person in the vassal alliance.

"General Hua, my subordinates don't know either!" Li Su smiled wryly.

He has never met Liu Qi before, so how would he know that such a team of reinforcements out of thin air and rescued Sun Jian made him feel very uncomfortable. The credit is not as great as the credit for capturing or beheading Sun Jian, and the two credits cannot be compared equally.

Hua Xiong didn't care, so he wrote a memorial and sent it to Luoyang together with Zu Mao's head. At the same time, he also sent someone to investigate Liu Qi's identity.

Moreover, in the memorial, the situation was also explained, and Li Su was going to be stationed at Sishui Pass, and he himself would lead the army to meet the coalition forces of the princes. He thought that since Sun Jian had been defeated, the vanguard of the coalition forces was gone.

If you don't want to wait for the coalition forces to arrive at Sishuiguan, it is the last word to take the initiative to attack. Only by defeating the coalition forces can the battle be ended.

After Li Su knew Hua Xiong's intentions, he was also a little upset, thinking that Hua Xiong didn't want him to make meritorious service, and what credit he could get for stationing at Sishui Pass, but Hua Xiong was the coach and Dong Zhuo's trusted general, so it's not up to him to be unhappy, or You have to accept the arrangement with a smile on your face.
