In the darkness, the wind howled, and it was clearly spring, but the temperature was still surprisingly low.

The braziers lit in the camp and used for lighting were blown by the wind and flickered on and off.

Sun Jian never slept. He carried an ancient ingot sword on his waist, wrapped his head in a red turban, and wore armor to patrol in this night.

Behind him were several soldiers.

The cold wind howled, blowing the red bandana on his head and tilting it.

Sun Jian stretched out his hand to straighten it and wrap it tightly.

When Sun Jian touched the red turban with his hand, the figure of Zu Mao could not help but appear in his mind.

That day when Hua Xiong was defeated in a surprise attack, it was Zu Mao who took his red turban away and wrapped it around his head.

Then Zu Mao died and he lived...

Thinking about it now, it still hurts my heart.

It just felt like Hua Xiong had cut off one of his arms.

"I will definitely avenge this revenge on you!"

In the darkness of the night, Sun Jian removed his hand from the red silk skirt and whispered softly.

At this time, Sun Jian moved away from his original stationed place.

The place where he is now is the camp of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin.

Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei, lost everything after his death.

The head went to Hua Xiong, the soldiers and horses went to Gongsun Zan, and the luggage and wife went to Cao Cao. Now the only remaining camp is occupied by Sun Jian and his troops.

However, Sun Jian came quietly with his troops and horses, and even many princes did not know about it.

After coming here, I never raised my own flag.

During the day, only a small number of people were left to guard the camp, while Sun Jian took most of the soldiers to sleep.

At night, we began to patrol the camp quietly...

"My Lord, do you think Hua Xiong will come out to rob the camp again?"

Sun Jian inspected a place, and a general handed Sun Jian a bowl of hot water and looked at Sun Jian and asked.

This general is Huang Gai and Huang Gongfu.

Sun Jian took two sips of hot water and signaled to the soldiers who were following him to inspect the camp to drink some hot water to warm themselves.

"Yes, I, Hua Xiong Xiliang, have a reckless personality. After successive battles, I have already tasted the benefits and do not take us in my eyes.

According to his character, he must regard us as walking military heroes.

He will definitely come out to rob the camp again, it's just a matter of time."

Huang Gai nodded, and then said: "But there is news from Yuan Shao that Hua Xiong is in big trouble.

I'm just afraid that if I don't get it right, I'll leave from Bishui Pass.

Many people have slacked off because of it..."

"A bunch of people who don't know how to fight are just talking nonsense here."

Sun Jian drank all the hot water in the bowl and put the bowl back to its original place, with some contempt in his voice.

"I don't want Hua Xiong to leave.

Otherwise, how can we use Hua Xiong’s head to pay homage to Da Rong?”

After that, he added: "In full disclosure, if you were Hua Xiong, and under such circumstances, you were suddenly transferred because of the same thing, what would happen to you?"

Huang Gai touched the iron whip on his waist and said: "If a certain family is really transferred, they still need to come out and fight again.

Only in this way can some of the depression in your heart be relieved.

It’s not impossible that he will be left here again to lead the troops because he fought well in this battle.”

When Sun Jian heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, if it were me, I would do the same thing.

Although that guy Hua Xiong is a bit hateful, overall, his personality is quite similar to mine...

Good things are waiting for you, don't slack off.

Maybe Hua Xiong will be dispatched tonight..."

Huang Gai nodded in agreement, and Sun Jian left Huang Gai and continued to inspect the camp...

In Gongsun Zan's camp, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were sleeping with their armors together.

Weapons are kept within easy reach.

It was already dark at this time, and in the camp, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei both had their eyes open.

It's just that Zhang Fei was snoring loudly, so he fell asleep with his eyes open.

Liu Bei really couldn't sleep.

The night was getting darker, and all kinds of thoughts were rising in the night, surging and permeating his heart, making him feel extremely heavy.

"Hua Xiong, don't really shrink back to Luoyang and never come out..."

After thinking about this for a long time, Liu Bei whispered softly.

Although it is a whisper, people can hear a lot of chills from it...

In the darkness, soldiers and horses moved forward silently.

When they reached a place, Hua Xiong, who was at the front, came to the rear, reached out and patted Gao Shun on the shoulder, and whispered: "Xuan Chang is right here."

Gao Shun heard this and said yes, which was regarded as a response.

Stop taking action now and stop right now.

Then quickly arrange the troops and horses for defense as agreed before.

Hua Xiong accelerated back to the front of the team and continued moving forward without saying a word.

Hua Xiong knew that Zhao Cen had some unspoken intentions.

That is, if you take the Northern Army infantry like Gao Shun out to rob the camp, you will be easily stopped and lack mobility.

Hua Xiong didn't bother to explain to him.

If he can see things, how can he not see it himself?

Who said that if you take them out, you will let them rob the camp yourself?

Yu Jin followed Hua Xiong not far away.

Mounting his horse again and marching under the night made him feel complicated.

The last time he was dealing with Xiliang soldiers and horses, this time he directly turned the spear and aimed at the Kwantung soldiers.

All I can say is that things are unpredictable.

He shook his head and told himself not to think too much. Thinking too much about some things can easily confuse people.

He turned his mind to Hua Xiong's arrangements for Gao Shun and the infantry he led.

He naturally knew what Hua Xiong was doing.

This is to use Gao Shun and others to defend the back road to prevent soldiers and horses from coming behind and cutting off the road for themselves and others in the future.

After all, this time, the camp they attacked was relatively far back.

It is necessary to arrange some such people in the back.

Thinking about this in his heart, Yu Jin couldn't help but shake his head.

That's not to say that Governor Hua's arrangement doesn't work.

Hua Xiong was really good at using soldiers.

Rather, it means that the people he uses are not good enough.

Those Northern troops looked like they had never been on the battlefield.

Arrange them there so that no Kanto soldiers and horses want to intercept the retreat, so it would be better not to encounter them.

Once they encounter them, these people will probably be defeated in one blow.

In time, it will become a burden.

Governor Hua is very considerate of things, but this time he really failed in hiring people...

Although he thought so in his heart, Yu Jin didn't say it.

Because before setting off in the evening, after knowing Hua Xiong's plan, he had already spoken once but was not listened to.

Now that the arrow is on the string and the arrow has to be fired, it's too late.

For some reason, he always felt that Governor Hua seemed to have some inexplicable confidence in Gao Shun.

Makes it difficult for people to understand.

Hopefully he's right...

Hua Xiong walked in the front with three pointed and two blades, leading his troops and horses along the way.

This time, his target was not Gongsun Zan or Cao Cao, but the camp of Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou.

Xuzhou was rich, Tao Qian had soldiers and horses, Hua Xiong's predecessor had seen them, and the quality of the soldiers and armor was very good.

And, more importantly, Tao Qian did not have any particularly famous generals here, and the combat effectiveness of his soldiers was naturally inferior to Gongsun Zan's Youzhou frontier army.

His camp is relatively far back, so the defenses won't be too tight.

His first goal this time was to obtain weapons and armor, not to kill the enemy.

Under such circumstances, it was natural to attack a being like Tao Qian who was wealthy but not very powerful in combat.

Look for soft persimmons!

After some walking, around five o'clock, Hua Xiong approached Tao Qian's camp with his troops.
Chapter completed!
