21. By asking where the old people are going, the intestines are broken before drinking a toast
"Report!"
"Huh? What's going on? Is it possible that the enemy is so bold that he wants to fight us here? Then I really have to admire that guy who has the courage to come out and fight. To show my respect for him, I will definitely bury him generously.
Corpse."
Sun Jian walked quite comfortably on the official road from Suanzao to Luoyang. Behind him were his four most trusted subordinates - Cheng Pu and Cheng Demou, who were holding iron halberds and snake spears;
Huang Gai, Huang Gongqi, who carries an iron whip; Han Dang, Han Yigong, who holds a long sword and carries an iron bow; Zu Mao, Zu Darong, who holds two swords.
Although Sun Jian's entire army is now following the requirements of the march and combat period, posting sentries widely and responding back and forth, you can see from their faces that there is no trace of nervousness at all about facing a powerful enemy. Instead, there is an inexplicable feeling.
Joy spread among the team, and everyone's faces were filled with a sense of relaxation.
Although Sun Jian and others discovered this trend, he did not interfere too much. A relaxed mentality is not a bad thing for the troops who are about to fight in a series of fierce battles in the future, as long as they don't relax and forget about it. Besides, they are used to Jing.
It is normal for the troops in Nanshan District to feel happy and light-headed when walking on the wide official road. Isn't it even Sun Jian himself feels this way? The pony trotting all the way is called joyful. This was not the case some time ago.
Not often encountered.
However, such a relaxed mood did not last too long. Soon a sentinel reported that there seemed to be traces of enemy troops ahead. Then the original relaxed and happy atmosphere immediately disappeared without a trace. With the successive passwords,
The formation of the entire army began to slowly change, and the aura it exuded was also tinged with blood, like a tiger with slightly exposed fangs.
Now that a large group of enemies has been discovered, it is obviously not a good idea to continue marching. As soon as the army stopped, Sun Jian immediately sent a lot of extra men to investigate to prevent enemies from attacking from other directions. You must know that in the mountainous areas of Jingnan
Here, they suffered such losses at the beginning. Those rebels and aliens borrowed
The terrain advantage is definitely an elusive guy. If you don't pay attention, the opponent may sneak attack you from the place where you are not careful. However, thanks to those mountain monkeys, Sun Jianjun has extremely rich experience in handling similar situations, so everything is fine.
It was carried out in an orderly manner, without any panic.
However, the reported information revealed a subtle look on Sun Jian's face...
"General, the forward sentry sent news that a suspected coalition force went to Xuanmen Pass to challenge, but was defeated by the defenders. Looking at the flag, it seems to have the character 'Bao'."
"'Bao'? Could it be Lord Bao Xin's army? I saw him among the people seeing him off when we set off. Why..."
Han Dang tilted his head and recalled it carefully, and then looked at Sun Jian with confusion, saying that he did not understand the intelligence. "Is it possible that someone is planning to impersonate the troops of other princes in the alliance to lure us into taking the bait?"
"It's impossible. If that's the case, we should act like we're fighting. How can we be clearly told that 'there is danger ahead and we need to be cautious when moving forward' like now? The other side's commander won't be so stupid."
Listening to the argument among his subordinates, Sun Jian said nothing, although he had vaguely guessed the truth of the matter, which was why he showed a subtle expression when he heard the news just now. Although those princes were indeed stupid, but...
"Okay, no need to argue. No matter what, this incident reminds us that the enemies we have to face are not mountain people and aliens holding tattered weapons in their hands and wearing tattered clothes, but equipment.
Excellent regular army. If we still look at our opponents with a indulgent attitude, then we will definitely be the ones who die."
The opponent is Dong Zhuo, a figure who must not be underestimated. Not to mention that there are still many talents and strong soldiers among the Northern Army soldiers who fought side by side with Sun Jian on various battlefields. Even though some of them have left Luoyang,
Sun Jian was still not sure whether there would be those tough guys among his opponents. Not many, just one would be enough to give people a headache.
"Order the sentinels to expand the scope of investigation and increase the density of sentinels. Dong Zhuo has stationed a large number of troops in the Hulao area and Xingyang. Although the troops in Xingyang have been holding on, there is no guarantee that they have no ideas. Let the three armies fight
No matter how close the distance is
Put some together, those guys gave us a warning, we can't rush in. In addition, we will report the battle ahead to the alliance leader, I believe he will be very interested in this information. Okay, let's set off, there is a big battle waiting for us.
We are a group of tigers."
But hundreds of miles away, there is a group of people who are not as cautious as Sun Jian. They are very high now.
"I think the princes of Guandong have three heads and six arms, but they dare to talk about jokes like 'crushing the Xiliang army' without shame. I really feel that my life time is too short. This battle was fought very well under my command."
Not bad, I will ask for credit in the future
However, everyone here is indispensable. When I take the head of Yuan Shao's child later, it doesn't matter who is the prefect or the state pastor. Those ladies who always feel that they are superior on weekdays, don't obediently give it to whichever house you want.
Come on, have a drink!"
Although what Hu Zhen, the commander-in-chief of Xuanmen Pass, said made everyone frown, what does "under your command" mean? What else have you done besides sending troops out to fight?
What happened? Oh, I have actually done it. I used the defense of the city gate as an excuse to take away the military power of Li Su and others and sent them out.
Being a cannon fodder turned out to be your credit in the end. However, the other party is the commander-in-chief, and he is also one of the most powerful factions in the Xiliang army. So even if they are full of slander, everyone seems to be proud of it.
Let’s raise a glass together to celebrate. No matter what, a good start is always something worth celebrating.
However, in the celebration venue, in an inconspicuous and dark place, a young general was not as happy as others - at least he was celebrating happily on the surface. He quietly held the wine bottle and stared at the wine in the glass.
It seems that he has no desire to drink it. The melancholy in his blurred eyes is enough to make any Yoyo have the urge to step forward to comfort him.
"You're not in a group. Why are you here drinking alone when everyone else is having fun together? Is there something wrong with you?"
"It turns out to be Brother Zhongyi. Zhuo's decadent look made Brother Zhongyi laugh."
"Why, are you dissatisfied because you have been robbed of your credit? After all, we are the direct descendants of the Prime Minister of the country. It doesn't look like we are all raised by a group of stepmothers. Otherwise, with our unparalleled talents, I am afraid that the guard of this revolving door gate should not be
Let’s join your group.”
"I know very well how capable I, Li Buqun, am, but I always feel uneasy when I see everyone show off like this after just winning for a while. There are also many outstanding figures in the Guandong princes."
"Oh, I know this too, but what can I do? Besides, compared to before, I am much prouder in the capital now. If you think about it, as long as we work hard, as long as we are lucky enough to survive, there will always be something
Opportunities for advancement.”
"That Zhuo borrowed Jun's auspicious words." Li Zhuo raised his glass to Yang Ke, and then drank the contents of the glass together with Yang Ke.
Seeing that Li Zhuo seemed to have regained some vitality, Yang Ke did not continue to entangle him. Although both of them belonged to the original Luoyang garrison, Li Zhuo belonged to the Northern Army and Yang Ke belonged to the Huben Army, even though they had a closer relationship to fight against the Xiliang Army.
They are close, but after all, there is still a vague gap. What's more, Li Zhuo, who was originally higher than Yang Ke in terms of ability and official position, is now far inferior to him. No matter how generous Li Zhuo is, he will still have some complaints in his heart.
Thinking about Li Zhuo's performance during the military competition, Yang Ke did not want to become the target of his opponent's vent.
Yang Ke left, and Li Zhuo's originally smiling face gradually turned cold again. Looking at the happy people in the distance, Li Zhuo sighed slightly. His current mood was so incompatible with the joy not far away, just like oil and peace.
Same as water.
"Wen Tai, we met again, but I didn't expect that we would be your opponent this time. I used to joke that I wanted to have a fight with you, so as to compete with you, but I never thought that things are unpredictable. That day
The joke is about to come true now. Do you know how complicated my mood is now? I wonder how you will feel when you are under the moonlight with me?"
Thinking of this, Li Zhuo smiled mockingly to himself. The four most outstanding generals who besieged the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng, Liu Bei and Sun Jian, had been promoted to the rank of prefect of two thousand shi at this time, and their reputations for good warfare were well-known throughout the country. And Li Shushi was even more so.
What's amazing is that he has become a state shepherd with greater power, guarding the people in his area, and even killed the leader of Xianbei and had his head spread throughout the country.
But what about himself?
Li Zhuo was envious of the current achievements of the three former Paozes, but he was not jealous because he knew very well the abilities of those Paozes and the excellence of the talents gathered around them.
I remember that I had watched Sun Jian kill enemies one after another with admiration, followed him constantly in the hope of getting some pointers, and fought happily with the men around him one after another.
Field. I once secretly speculated on Li Shushi's battle plan, because it was a plan praised by his benefactor Zhu Jun Zhu Zhonglang. He studied and looked for opportunities to make more beautiful and outstanding strategies on his own, and then received praise from his superiors...
It was a time worth remembering and a time of innocence.
But now, the young and frivolous star of hope has been polished off by the years. Even though there is still blood and passion in his heart, he looked at the fiery place not far away, and then looked at the sky.
Under the crescent moon, Li Zhuo once again showed a slightly bitter smile.
"Wentai, I, Li Buqun, have not been living in vain for so many years, and I will prove it. But, I really hope that you can see my growth with your own eyes, and then praise me with a smile, 'Well done, little brother.'
.”
Before you knew it, the wine in the wine bottle had spread all over the land.
