Bao Xin recruited his brother Bao Zhong on the road.
"Brother, Sun Jian is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong. Yuan Shu actually sent Sun Jian as the vanguard. Wouldn't it be wrong if he took the lead?"
Bao Xin looked at his brother while talking.
"What do you mean, brother?"
"I will send you three thousand soldiers and horses. You can take a small road and go to the Sishui Pass to challenge. If you can break through the pass, wouldn't it be your first achievement in defeating the general?"
Before Bao Xin finished speaking, Bao Zhong's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Brother is right, let me go and see if I can steal his head."
After Bao Xin finished speaking, he galloped on his horse and took a small road to arrive outside Sishui Pass.
"Stop the gang of thieves. Bao Zhong from Jibei is coming. Why don't you quickly turn the switch and surrender?"
Hua Xiong, who rushed to Sishui Pass at starry night, looked at Bao Zhong below and couldn't help but laugh.
"Bao Zhong? You haven't heard of it, so it's okay. Let me kill a nobody and destroy the majesty of the coalition of princes."
Hua Xiong stopped laughing and led 500 cavalrymen out of the city to fight against Bao Zhong.
"Thief, please accept your fate."
Seeing Hua Xiong going into battle, Bao Zhong slapped his horse and rushed over.
"puff,"
Hua Xiong saw Bao Zhong's coming, raised his knife and cut off his head with one blow.
"kill."
Bao Zhong was beheaded, and Hua Xiong charged with his sword. Five hundred cavalry charged into the formation, and all three thousand soldiers and horses led by Bao Zhong were wiped out.
"The princes outside the Pass are really like chickens and dogs."
Hua Xiong laughed all the way and led his troops back to Sishui Pass.
Sun Jian led his troops forward, and suddenly a scout on horseback galloped up to him.
"My lord, Bao Zhong, brother of Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei, led three thousand troops to take a small road and rushed outside Sishui Pass to challenge."
After hearing what the scout said, Sun Jian was immediately furious.
"Bao Xin, you've gone too far to bully others."
As soon as the Sun family mentioned their war horses, they were about to gallop, but a second mounted scout followed closely behind them.
"Report, my lord, Bao Zhong challenged him at the pass, and was beheaded by Hua Xiong. All three thousand soldiers and horses under his command were wiped out."
When he heard that Bao Zhong had been beheaded, Sun Jian's anger became much less intense.
If Bao Zhong succeeded in secretly imprisoning him and took his lead, then he would be at a loss. But now that Bao Zhong was beheaded, Bao Xin could be said to have accompanied his brother and lost his army.
"Lord, Bao Xin is just shooting himself in the foot. Come on, come on."
A general beside Sun Jian, with a heavy back and an iron-spine spear in his hand, rushed to announce the good news to Sun Jian.
"Well, what De Mou said is true. Bao Xin accompanied his brothers on this trip and defeated the troops. Come on, come on, you guys will fight with me towards Sishui Pass."
Sun Jian led his troops to the front of Sishui Pass and looked at the tall Sishui Pass.
"Why are the thieves who are locked up helping Zhou to do evil? Now that the army is conquering them, why don't they surrender sooner so that they can have the capital to settle down and live in peace?"
Sun Jian's words made Hua Xiong very unhappy, so he immediately raised his knife and wanted to leave.
"Commander, how can you kill a chicken with an ox's knife? Let me behead Sun Jian and offer it to you."
A tall man from the northwest was half-kneeling in front of Hua Xiong.
"Hu Zhen, if I and you have five thousand soldiers and horses to take Sun Jian's head, you will definitely be rewarded."
"promise."
Hu Zhen immediately opened the door and led five thousand soldiers and horses out to fight.
"Lord, watch me kill this thief and serve wine to everyone."
Seeing Hu Zhen coming on horseback, Sun Jian's general Cheng Pu roared and rushed out with his horse.
Hu Zhen used his spear, and Cheng Pu used his spear. The spears and spears clashed with each other, and the sound was loud. Finally, Hu Zhen's horse stumbled, and Cheng Pu knocked him off his horse with a spear.
"kill."
Seeing Cheng Pu's victory, the Sun family swung their ancient sword and led the entire Jiangdong army under his command to attack Sishui Pass.
When Hu Zhen was beheaded, Hua Xiong was also stunned. Feeling that Sun Jianjun was difficult to deal with, he directly chose to fortify the city and defend it.
"Fire the arrow."
Thousands of arrows were fired at once, and rocks were flying like rain. Sun Jian's army was weak, so he had to return to Liangdong to camp, and then sent people to Yuan Shu to report the victory, and at the same time to Yuan Shao to collect food.
Yuan Shu couldn't help but nodded when he saw the good news from Sun Jian's troops. This Sun Jian was really a tiger from the east of the Yangtze River.
"Zi Note, what do you think of Sun Jian?"
After handing the good news to Jushu, Yuan Shu couldn't help but have thoughts.
"Sun Jian is a fierce warrior, but he is too brave. In every battle, he must be the first, and then he will fight in front of the battle."
Jushou's evaluation of Sun Jian was exactly in line with the way he died in later generations. He led the way and died under Huang Zu's arrow.
"Then do you think Sun Jian will win or lose this battle?"
Yuan Shu looked at Ju Shou with a smile on his face.
"Lord, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Ju Shou looked at Yuan Shu with a smile in his eyes.
"What do you think?"
"My lord, Sun Jian is the vanguard general and has rushed to Sishui Pass alone. However, the princes have not yet mobilized. They are alone. Moreover, they are short of food and equipment.
Yuan Shao is now the governor of Nanyang and Sun Jian is the governor of Changsha. Sooner or later, the two will have a battle. If I were Yuan Shao, I would definitely take the opportunity to weaken Sun Jian's strength so that I could make plans for the future."
Ju Shou's words reminded Yuan Shu of a passage in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he read in his previous life.
Huang Gai went to Yuan Shu's tent to ask for food and grass, but was perfunctory by Yuan Shu. Then his advisers told him how powerful Sun Jian's victory was, but in the end the food was not distributed. As a result, Sun Jian was defeated at the hands of Hua Xiong, and even General Zu Mao was also killed by Hua Xiong.
The hero beheads and kills.
"So, should we watch the show or interfere? After all, Sun Jian is our vanguard. If we lose rashly, it will be detrimental to the morale of the army."
Jushu smiled at Yuan Shu's words.
"My lord, if you really want to save it, why don't you send Zilong to lead four thousand cavalry into Xiliang military uniforms and hide on the flanks of Sishui Pass. If the general guarding the pass orders a sneak attack on Sun Jian, they will definitely come out in full force. Then Zilong can take advantage of the opportunity to attack
Entering the Sishui Pass, it only takes a moment to get out of the pass."
Yuan Shu just didn't want the army to be demoralized because of Sun Jian's defeat, but Ju Shou came up with a plan to use Sun Jian as bait and then send troops to steal the city.
"This is a very clever plan. Please make arrangements immediately. Four thousand cavalry is not enough. It is best to add ten thousand infantry. This will ensure nothing goes wrong."
"promise."
Huang Gai came to Yuan Shao's tent, and Yuan Shao was discussing the current war situation with Xu You.
"Huang Gai, a humble official, meets the Governor Yuan."
Huang Gai knelt down on one knee and bowed to Yuan Shao.
"It turns out it's a public prosecution. Why did you come to my big account?"
Seeing Huang Gai, Yuan Shao actually guessed his purpose.
"Prefect Yuan, our army is entering Sishui Pass now, but the army is short of food and equipment. I hope your Majesty will send you food and grass as soon as possible."
"Public restoration takes the first step, and food and grass will arrive later."
Looking at Huang Gai, Yuan Shao felt a little fondness in his eyes. It was a pity that such a majestic general could not be used by him.
"Thank you so much, Governor Yuan."
After receiving Yuan Shao's affirmative answer, Huang Gai rode his horse back to Sun Jian's headquarters to reply without looking back.
"My Lord, do you really want to give Sun Wentai food and grass?"
Xu You looked at Huang Gai who was walking away, and his brows couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Ziyuan, if you have anything to say, just say it."
After hearing Xu You's words, Yuan Shao was confused.
"My lord, Sun Jian is a fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. His four generals, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao, are even more courageous to kill generals and seize the flag. Changsha and our Nanyang belong to Jingzhou. If he is allowed to grow bigger, his future will be ruined."
He must be our formidable enemy. Instead of losing his tail, it would be better to kill someone with a borrowed knife now."
