three kings

Chapter 105
"Meng De (Zi Yu)" Sun Can and Cao Cao hugged each other tightly.

Cao Cao was very happy and said: "You and my brother, it is really gratifying to see you again, gratifying! Thinking of Dong Thief, who is as stupid as a pig, and Zhongxian brother's clever trick, his arm was cut off, it is really happy."

Sun Can also laughed and said: "I only hate that I couldn't kill the old thief that day! There is still today's war. It's just that if there is no such war, you and I don't know when we will have a chance to reunite!"

Seeing Sun Can laughing, Cao Cao laughed too, and said, "Does Ziyu remember the parting words between you and me that day?"

Sun Can said: "Don't dare to forget, today is the day we meet, you and I can drink a hundred cups together, and get drunk together."

Cao Cao said: "That's right, you should set up camp and invite Cao Cao to a banquet. I will not return until I am not drunk tonight."

Sun Can nodded and said yes. After setting up camp, he went to Cao Jun's camp.That night, Cao Cao and Sun Can got drunk together in the tent.

The princes from all over the country came one after another and set up their camps.The scale is magnificent, with more than 30 troops gathered, and the company battalion reaches more than [-] miles.

On this day, Cao Cao gathered the princes to discuss the strategy of advancing troops.Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County, suggested: "To uphold the great righteousness, we must establish a leader; everyone should obey the restraint, and then march into the army."

Cao Cao stood up and took the lead in saying, "Sun Can, the prefect of Wancheng, has been a master of emperors for generations. He is famous for breaking the yellow scarf and saving the imperial city. He punished Zhang Rang and assassinated the Dong thief. He even defeated Lu Bu in Nanyang County the day before yesterday. What he did Everything is very satisfying, and I can be the leader of the alliance."

Everyone is good.

Displeasure immediately appeared on Yuan Shao's face.

Sun Can thought to himself: "Yuan Shao's family background is prominent, he is also jealous, and his younger brother's skills are also different from mine. If I were the leader of the alliance, these two people would definitely not accept and obey orders. Dong thief has an army of more than 40, and our alliance army is There are 30 people. Dong's army is well-trained and well-trained. Our alliance army is uneven and weak in combat power. Without unified dispatch, it will certainly not be able to exert its full strength. It is not the enemy of Dong's bandits. Think about it With one heart and one mind, only brother Yuan can take on this important task."

Considering the overall situation, Sun Can gave up the position of the leader of the alliance, and postponed: "Can is not talented, how dare he be the leader of the alliance. Brother Benchu ​​is the fourth generation and third prince, has many old officials, and is a descendant of a famous minister in the Han Dynasty. He can be the leader of the alliance."

Yuan Shao stood up and declined, saying: "Meng De is the one who started it, and he is the best choice for the leader of the alliance." Although he said so, his face showed a hint of complacency.

Cao Cao glanced at Sun Can, and sighed softly: "Brother Benchu ​​is the leader of the alliance, Cao has no objection."

Everyone also unanimously agreed with Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao said to Sun Can secretly: "Brother Benchu ​​is always scheming; he cherishes his life when he does big things, and forgets his roots when he sees small profits. I'm afraid it's not suitable to be the leader of the alliance?"

"How can Can Can not know!" Sun Can whispered: "But if it is not the original main alliance, I am afraid that we will not be able to work together, and the situation may be even worse then."

Cao Cao also nodded in agreement.

On that day, they killed cattle and horses, and swore their blood.

Yuan Shao raised his tent and sat down, and the princes sat in two rows according to their titles.

Sun Canding was seated by Yuan Shu, and Liu Hua, Zhang Fei, and Xu Chu stood behind him.

Suddenly, Liu Hua tugged at the corner of Sun Can's clothes, motioning for Sun Can to look across.

Sun Can saw that it was Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping.Suddenly, he was attracted by the three people behind Gongsun Zan. The middle one was seven feet five inches long, with ears hanging from his shoulders, his hands above his knees, and his lips were painted. He looked quite virtuous and had a pitiful heart. .He couldn't help praising secretly: "What a noble person." Then, he looked at the two big men standing behind the man, one of them was nine feet tall and majestic in build, and they were not inferior to Xu Chu. An impassable wall.His complexion was red, like a ball of burning coals, his long black beard stretched across his belly, his red phoenix eyes half-opened and half-closed, not angry and majestic, he had a unique heroic demeanor that looked down on the world.The other person was a big black-faced man. Although he was not as strong as Zhang Fei, he was unusually stable and had the air of a commander in chief.

"Who are these three people? Are they all so extraordinary?" Sun Can asked in a low voice.

Liu Hua whispered: "The man with drooping ears and shoulders is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. It is said that he is a descendant of the clan of the Han family and the son of King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Sheng, the son of Emperor Han Jing. He is Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, both civil and military. He is the talent of a general, but he is extremely conceited and has no eyes. As for the big black-faced man, I don’t know.” After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Fei behind him, and said to himself: "It can't be Zhang Fei, right?"

Cao Cao invited him to drink for several rounds, anxious to discuss Dong's matter, and said: "Today, the leader of the alliance is established, and each will obey his orders, and help the community together. Don't care about strength."

Yuan Shao answered the words proudly: "Although Shao is not talented, since he was elected as the leader by the public, he must be rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for crimes. The state has permanent punishment, and the army has discipline. Everyone should abide by it and not violate it."

Everyone said that they obeyed their orders.

Yuan Shao looked around, and said: "My brother Yuan Shu, the governor, has food and grass to deal with the camps, and there is no shortage. It is necessary for one person to be the vanguard and go straight to the challenge of Sishui Pass. The others think they will respond according to the danger. I don't know which general is willing to do it for you. pioneer?"

Sun Can took the lead and said, "To the lord, Sun Can is willing to go."

Yuan Shao secretly said: "Sun Ziyu has made great achievements in the army, and he defeated Lu Bu the day before yesterday, so I will send him out now. If he wins, his prestige will be higher than mine." Thinking of this, he said: "Zi Yu's soldiers are fine and brave, but not at this moment. When the time is right for you to go out, when the time is right, Ziyu will naturally be sent out."

Sun Can was speechless, not talking.

One general stroked his armor and got up, went out and said: "I am willing to be the front." The person who spoke was Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng and the prefect of Changsha.

Yuan Shaoxi said: "Wentai is brave, you can take this position."

Immediately, Sun Jian led his troops and rushed to Sishui Pass.

That night, Sun Can took Xu Chu and others for a walk outside, and happened to run into the three people he had seen in the tent today.He started to make friends in the morning, and it was God's will to meet him at this moment, so he couldn't help but go forward to chat.

It turned out that the three sworn brothers were Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Yan.

Liu Bei was originally from Zhuo County, and later joined Liu Yanyi's army to defend against the Yellow Turbans. In the army, he met Guan Yu, who was inseparable from each other, and together they conquered the Yellow Turbans.

Accidentally passed by Changshan and met Zhang Yan. The three of them shared the same loyalty and became Jinlan brothers in the peach forest on the Montenegro.This time, they came to seek Dong with Gongsun Zan.

Everyone chatted together, Liu Bei and Zhang Yan boasted and talked very gracefully, but Guan Yu still had a conceited demeanor and ignored Sun Can.

At this time, a voice of insult came: "Yuan Shu traitor, if you don't pay the food, how can I explain to you?"

Sun Can was greatly surprised when he heard this, and immediately stepped forward to ask the truth.

The man said: "I am the food officer under Taishou Sun. The front line is victorious, but Yuan Shu's bandits don't give out food. It's really hateful."

Sun Can was quite annoyed when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he immediately shouted "No!" He said anxiously: "Sun Taishou has no food, he will fall into panic, and his morale will be low.If I were the opponent, I would definitely attack at night, and I would definitely win a big victory.In this way, Sun Taishou is in danger. "

The man was slightly crying, and said anxiously: "Then...then what should I do?"

Sun Can calmly said: "You go back to the camp immediately, and report the news to Taishou Sun, and Can immediately leads the troops to support." Immediately, leave Liu Bei and others, and return to the camp to transfer troops.

But it was said that Sun Jian's army had no food and the army's morale was weak. Hua Xiong, the guard at Sishui Pass, followed Li Su's plan and came to attack Sun Jian's army camp at night. Sun Jian was defeated and defeated.

A group of lieutenant generals fought in a melee, four generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Zu Mao protected Sun Jian from escaping.Coincidentally, they met Hua Xiong, and there was a big fight, Zu Mao sacrificed his life.

On the way, I met a grain transport official, and the official reported everything.

Sun Jian sighed: "Sun Ziyu is really a hero." Immediately rectify the remnants of the army, and strictly guard against death.

A moment later, the first army arrived, and the leader said: "Is it General Sun Wentai in front? I am Zhang Liao, the subordinate of General Sun Can in Wancheng. I am here to help you under the orders of my lord."

Sun Jian was overjoyed, the two armies merged into one, and once again attacked the enemy.

Hua Xiong's army never expected that reinforcements would come, they were defeated by Zhang Liao's elite troops and returned in a complete defeat.

Sun Jian thanked Zhang Liao and said, "Thank you, General, for saving your life."

Zhang Liao said, "This is all the work of my lord."

Sun Can arrived at Sishui Pass with the brigade.

Sun Jian rushed into the tent angrily, drew his sword and pointed at Yuan Shu and said, "Yuan Shu, we are fighting bloody battles on the front line. If you are happy in the back, why do you cut off my food and grass? If General Sun Can hadn't sent General Zhang Liao to help, Jian would have Defeated without a trace?"

Yuan Shu was speechless in embarrassment.

Sun Jian was furious, and seeing Yuan Shu's silence, he said, "Mr. Yuan Shu, if you don't say anything, it will be your tacit consent. Wait for me to chop off your head and pay homage to the soldiers who died in battle under my command."

As he spoke, he swung his sword to cut, but Cao Cao and others stopped him immediately.

Yuan Shu's expression was pale, and he said embarrassingly: "Shu listened to the slander and made such a big mistake. Now I have killed that flattering villain. The general hopes to appease his anger."

Cao Cao reconciled and said: "We all contribute to the community, that's not the case. Since Brother Gong has admitted his mistake, Wentai hopes to appease his anger."

Sun Jian snorted angrily, shook his sleeves and left the tent.

Suddenly the spies came to report: "Hua Xiong led the cavalry down to the pass, and before coming to the stronghold, he cursed and fought."

Yuan Shu's powerful general Yu She, and Han Fu's Pan Feng were all beheaded by Hua Xiong's horse within Wuhe.

There was no one in the allied army for a while, and the princes were shocked.

Yuan Shao sighed, "It's a pity that my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou haven't arrived yet! If there is only one here, why be afraid of Hua Xiong!"

At this time, Xu Chu who was behind Sun Can couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward to beg for life.

Yuan Shaoen Zhun.

Sun Can said: "Hua Xiong is brave and well versed in military strategy. He is a talented general. If he can be captured alive, his life will definitely be injured by mistake. If he can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, then Sishuiguan will be within easy reach."

"Chu will capture Hua Xiong's son and the front of the tent, and let the lord do what he wants." Xu Chu led the order loudly and left.
