After Hua Xiong was killed by Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo's army stationed at Sishui Pass fled in all directions like birds and beasts. After a while, only the old and weak soldiers who could not escape were left.
Sun Jian was cleaning the battlefield with high spirits and great pride.
Han Fu saw all this but remained silent.
Cao Cao and Ma Xiaoquan sat opposite each other in Cao Cao's military tent in the coalition camp.
Cao Cao asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Master Shangxian, what do you think of Sun Wentai's battle?"
Ma Xiaoquan took a sip of water and said: "Sun Jian actually won this battle miserably. I think you also saw the fierceness of the Xiliang cavalry, right?"
Cao Cao nodded.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Xiao Cao, how much did you lose in the battle at Sishui Pass?"
Cao Cao grunted and said: "The loss is 400!"
"The next battle will be even harder!"
Ma Xiaoquan said and closed his eyes for the third time. Xiao Jue scolded: I'm so fucking obsessed with you, you shameless thing, pretending to be addicted. Ma Xiaoquan responded: What do you know?...
...
Dong Zhuo did not stop after he issued the two orders. On the one hand, he actively searched for gold and silver treasures in Luoyang and worked non-stop to move the capital; on the other hand, after receiving the news that Hua Xiong was killed in Sishui Pass, Dong Zhuo decided to personally
Go to Hulao Pass and sit down.
Hulao Pass is only fifty miles away from Luoyang. Breaking Hulao Pass would completely expose Luoyang to the coalition forces. Dong Zhuo was afraid that there would be losses in the pass, so he continued to dispatch Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and other generals to go with him to Hulao Pass.
Guan meets Lu Bu.
In Hulao Pass, Lu Bu was sitting with a sword and a golden horse. He was a little surprised when he heard that his adoptive father Dong Zhuo was coming in person. But later, a scout came to report that Hua Xiong of Sishui Pass was killed by the allied vanguard Sun Jian. Only then did Lu Bu understand the reason.
.Here, why did Dong Zhuo receive the news of Hua Xiong's murder before Lu Bu? It will be revealed immediately. Dong Zhuo and his entourage entered Hulao Pass, and after a brief greeting with Lu Bu, he ordered Lu Bu to lead an army of 30,000 people.
A stronghold was built in front of the pass to defend against the enemy, while Dong Zhuo himself camped at the pass to watch the battle from a high distance.
In the stronghold in front of the pass, Lu Bu summoned his men, wiped the sweat off his head, and said to his men: "It's all because of you, a bad guy, who said something about good wine and good wine, which caused me to almost get into trouble. Then Hua Xiong is dead."
Why did you give me the news?"
The subordinate shouted that he was wronged and said: "General, I have already shown it to you, but you didn't answer it."
"Uh." Lu Bu blushed and felt that he was in the wrong, so he waved his hand and asked his men to retreat.
"Fortunately, my adoptive father didn't notice that I was drinking, otherwise it would have been serious!" Lu Bu said to himself, "But Hua Xiong was killed, which was really beyond my expectation. Hmph, I want to see who can kill him."
Can you beat me, Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian?"
Lu Bu made up his mind and did not hesitate any longer. He hurriedly put on his armor, left the stronghold, mounted the red rabbit horse, and prepared to face the enemy.
As for the coalition forces, Sishui Pass can only be regarded as a miserable victory, but victory is better than defeat. Sun Jian himself led the front vanguard to take a short rest before preparing to continue on the road, but Yuan Shao and a group of princes were hiding in Suanzao, where the coalition commander Da
Drinking and having fun in the tent without making any plans for the next step.
After Cao Cao came back, he saw it and reminded Yuan Shao: "Alliance leader, the frontline military station is still fighting hard, why are you drinking and having fun?"
Yuan Shao disapproved, pulled Cao Cao over, raised his eyebrows and said: "Meng De doesn't know something, but Sun Wentai's victory at Sishui Pass, we are just celebrating... Uh" Yuan Shao said, full of words
A few wine burps.
Cao Cao slapped his nose and exited the tent angrily.
"You bastards!" After Cao Cao entered his tent, he kicked the kettle on the table and said, "What a bunch of bastards!"
Inside the camp, Cao Cao's generals all watched quietly as Cao Cao got angry, and no one dared to interrupt.
Xiahou Dun coughed twice and winked at Ma Xiaoquan.
In the past two days, Ma Xiaoquan had become familiar with Cao Cao's subordinates through Cao Cao's introduction. At first, there were a few people who were not convinced. After Ma Xiaoquan showed his ability to control fire, these people were convinced.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded slightly and asked Cao Cao: "Xiao Cao, why are you angry? Is it because Yuan Shao refuses to send troops?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "Nothing can be hidden from the Lord Shangxian. Yes, Yuan Benchu has no use except drinking and having fun with those rabble. I regret why I recommended him as the leader of the alliance in the first place...
..."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "No, no, Xiao Cao, just because of this, have you seen Yuan Shao more clearly? I ask you now, if one day in the future, you and Yuan Shao face each other, will you
How sure are you of defeating him?"
When Cao Cao heard this, he fell silent.
Cao Cao thought: Fight with Yuan Shao? Are you kidding me? Not only is he the fourth and third prince of the Yuan Shao family, but his younger brother Yuan Shu is also the dominant overlord. As of now, not to mention fighting Yuan Shao, it is just competing with him to see who has more generals.
, I can’t even compare to him.
Cao Cao smiled sarcastically and shook his head.
Ma Xiaoquan stood up, walked to Cao Cao, patted Cao Cao on the shoulder and said: "I can tell you responsibly, although Yuan Shao is stronger than you now, in the future, he will definitely be defeated by you! You, remember this
Got it!"
Cao Cao opened his mouth. He did not expect that the Immortal Lord would say such words. Not only him, but also the men in the camp were stunned.
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly: "The coalition forces are only physically connected but not spiritually connected. In this case, Xiao Cao, why don't you advocate for yourself? Of course, I have one more thing to say, never do anything that is not harmful.
, Otherwise, there will be a catastrophe, do you understand?"
Cao Cao hummed.
After Sun Jian organized the remaining troops, he roared towards Hulao Pass.
After Sun Jian died, Cao Cao, who was also good at making decisions, led the army and followed him.
At the Hulao Pass, Lu Bu's mouth was filled with tears, and he saw the coalition troops coming from a distance.
"Get on your horse! Cheer up! Damn it, these traitors dare to mess with you, Grandpa Lu, and me?"
As Lu Bu said this, he picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd, lined up his formation, and waited for the coalition forces to approach.
The allied army of Sun Jian's troops surged like a mighty tide and stopped ten miles away from Lu Bu.
Sun Jian unfolded a sheepskin map with a "wow" sound and ordered Han Dang: "Yigong Han Dang's words, you lead a team of crossbowmen from the back and go into the woods to ambush. No matter if I win or not, I will win."
If you lose, you won’t even be able to go out."
Han Dang didn't understand what Sun Jian meant and asked, "My lord, what does this mean?"
Sun Jian explained: "That Lu Bu is very good. You ambush in the woods, advance forward, and when you reach the shooting range, you will suddenly shoot cold arrows, killing those Xiliang soldiers by surprise."
Han Dang handed over his hand and said with great joy: "General, I will obey your order!"
Sun Jian called Huang Gai and other generals and decided on a strategy. After receiving the order, each general prepared to go.
The two sides set up their formations. Lü Bu stood in front of the army with a man and a horse with a halberd. He pointed at Sun Jian's troops and shouted: "I am the Marquis of Ting, the capital of the Han Dynasty. The commander-in-chief, Lü Bu, is Lü Fengxian. The person opposite is Sun Jian?"
Sun Jian chuckled and replied, "It's Mr. Sun!"
Lu Bu shouted: "You Sun Jian, if you don't stay in Changsha properly, why come here to wade in troubled waters? If I catch you, I will definitely humiliate your whole family!"
Sun Jian pulled out the ancient ingot sword with a "clang" sound and shouted: "Lu Bu, Dong's thieves are cholera-challenged, but you are helping Zhou to commit violence. If I capture you now, I will eat your flesh alive and your bones!"
When Lu Bu heard this, he shouted and rushed over.
Sun Jian knew that he was no match for Lu Bu, so he immediately retreated 3 miles to keep distance from Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was afraid that Sun Jian was ambushing him, so he chased him for less than a mile and then withdrew.
"Damn it!" Lu Bu got off the red rabbit horse and entered the tent, with a look of displeasure on his face.
Lu Bu shouted: "Where is Hu Zhen? Where is Hu Zhen?"
One of his subordinates said: "General, General Hu is not here!"
When Lu Bu heard this, he said angrily: "Where did you go if you weren't in the camp?"
The men fell silent.
Lu Bu didn't attack Sun Jian and was already very angry. Who would have thought that when his adoptive father assigned sergeants, he actually sent his mortal enemy Hu Zhen as well. Compared to him, Hu Zhen was even more lustful.
In addition, the military discipline is even more lax than mine, and I don't like him very much.
"Look for me, damn, find..."
The men were so frightened that they left the camp.
And where is Hu Zhen himself? He is currently hiding in a secluded place, drinking wine and eating chicken with a few of his subordinates.
One of his subordinates said: "General, Lu Bu is going to challenge Sun Jian alone. Do you think Sun Jian will fight?"
"Pfft" Hu Zhen spat out the bones in his mouth, "We don't care whether we should fight or not, it's best to go and don't come back alive!"
At this moment, one of his subordinates whispered something in Hu Zhen's ear. Hu Zhen immediately stood up and said with a livid face: "You bastard Lu Bu, how dare you scold me? Well, let's see which one of us can outplay the other."
?”
...
Sun Jian was not angry when he saw that Lu Bu did not catch up. This was completely expected. Sun Jian summoned Huang Gai and said, "Huang Gai, the Duke, can lead a team of men to challenge Lu Bu. Remember, don't confront Lu Bu head-on. Only allow
No victory is allowed without defeat.”
Huang Gai took the order and left.
Sure enough, just when Lu Bu was about to take a sip of water, he heard Huang Gai yelling and scolding not far outside Dazhai: "Lü Bu, you shrinking turtle, come out and lick grandpa's toes..."
When had Lu Bu been so angry? Without saying a word, he put on his armor, rushed out of the stronghold, mounted the red rabbit horse and chased after him.
This time Lu Bu is not stupid, he is not alone.
Lu Bu led a large group of troops to chase Huang Gai. Huang Gai obeyed Sun Jian's order and only allowed defeat but not victory. After a few feints, he pretended to turn around and ran away.
Lu Bu didn't know what the plan was and drove his horse to pursue him.
The red rabbit horse was running very fast, and was about to catch up with Huang Gai. Suddenly, a burst of cold arrows was shot out from the woods not far from the road. Lu Bu quickly turned the handle of his halberd to block the cold arrows, blocking while retreating.
.
"There's an ambush! Retreat!" Lu Bu shouted, leading the army to retreat.
Sun Jian was full of energy, laughed loudly, and shouted: "Can you withdraw?"
At this time, Sun Jian's generals rushed out of the ambush to surround and kill Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was worthy of being Lu Bu. Although he was surrounded, he relied on his superior force to fight his way out and led the remaining troops back to Dazhai.
After suffering a defeat, Lu Bu was very angry. After a brief reorganization, Lu Bu remounted his horse and led the Xiliang army to charge towards Sun Jian.
