Hua Xiong seized an opportunity and used the spear in his hand to shave off the long knife in Bao Zhong's hand. Without any hesitation, he grabbed the long knife that Bao Zhong had dropped. He held the handle of the knife and slashed Bao Zhong with his backhand.

Get off the horse.

Looking at Bao Zhong, who was already lying on the ground with his eyes open, Hua Xiong felt his physical condition, and his mentality seemed to be back to the past, but it was not enough, not enough for him to take the final step.

"General Hua Xiong, retreat quickly." Zhao Cen, at this time, had also led his soldiers to rush out of Sishui Pass and quickly brought the victorious Hua Xiong back to the pass.

As for Hu Zhen himself, he directly ran into Cheng Pu. Even if he wanted to fight to the death, he still had to delay the time, but he was not strong enough.

The disparity in strength between Hu Zhen and Cheng Pu was so great that they couldn't even use a single move. Cheng Pu used the iron-spine snake spear in his hand to stab Hu Zhen under his horse, killing him on the spot.

Hua Xiong reacted and was about to lead the soldiers to avenge his brother, but Zhao Cen led the soldiers and forcibly pulled Hua Xiong back to Sishui Pass.

Sun Jian led his soldiers, and after defeating Dong Zhuo's soldiers outside Sishui Pass, he tried to forcefully attack Sishui Pass, but failed to capture it.

They had no choice but to stay away from Sishui Pass and set up camp. They told Yuan Shu the location of the camp and informed Yuan Shu to make arrangements and transport grain and grass to this place.

After all, they were traveling lightly and quickly, and the food and grass they brought was only enough for a few days. Now that they have found out the information and have set up camp, the remaining food and grass should come from the coalition camp.

Hua Xiong came to the tower of Sishui Pass angrily, looked at Li Su, and said in a very deep tone, "Then Sun Jian only has 20,000 soldiers, so what reason do we have to withdraw our troops? As a result, my brother died at the hands of Sun Jian."

"General Hua, we do have more soldiers in the pass than Sun Jian, but Sun Jian's soldiers appeared too suddenly. Our soldiers in the pass have not yet been assembled. We can only inform you to retreat in a hurry." Li Su had no choice.

It’s not just one or two people, it’s a whole army of 50,000 people. If it can be easily assembled at will, it can still be used for defense here.

Pull them out directly and confront the coalition forces. The dead ones are definitely coalition forces. They are originally guarding the border. In order to prevent accidents, even the places where the soldiers are arranged to live are not in the same place, just to facilitate support.

Why did this situation suddenly occur? The only way to get Hua Xiong back was because Hu Zhen led his soldiers and tried their best to stop Sun Jian.

After hearing this, Hua Xiong fell silent. He looked at the many soldiers behind the gate, and then at Sun Jian's army who had failed to attack the city and was gradually retreating. He thought about his brothers who were delaying time for him.

"I know you are quite strategic. Can you think of a strategy for me? I want to kill him." Hua Xiong pointed in the direction of Sun Jian and stated his purpose without hesitation.

Li Su looked at Hua Xiong's current state and his angry look. He wanted to say something, a general should not be angry and raise an army, but he opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say it.

Instead, he used his brain and thought hard about whether there was any way to kill Sun Jian.

Later, it was discovered that Sun Jian did not take away the bodies of Bao Xin's army, and he immediately reacted.

"General, I have a strategy." Li Su pointed to the many corpses outside the pass and said in a cautious tone, "Sun Jian has not collected the corpses for Bao Xin's army, which is enough to prove that there will be a gap among the coalition forces due to incompatibility, plus the spies.

Based on the information we have ascertained, we can bribe Yuan Shu's people to make suggestions to Yuan Shu and exaggerate Sun Jian's harm, thereby reducing or directly not supplying food to Sun Jian."

"How sure are you of this matter?" Hua Xiong looked at Li Su and asked, "What should I do if it fails?"

Li Su said calmly, "If it succeeds, Sun Jian will have no fighting power. If it fails, the loss will only be some money, and there will be no harm to us."

Hua Xiong nodded after hearing this. No matter what the outcome would be, as long as he had a plan to give himself something to do.

Afterwards, Li Su quickly arranged for people to hand over the prepared gold and silver to the lobbyists. As for this time, why not go by yourself?

Li Su still knows himself. Going here is extremely dangerous and he cannot take the risk.

After all, Li Su said that he didn’t understand Yuan Shu’s character, so he shouldn’t take the risk.

Money played an unimaginable role. Under the lobbying of lobbyists, Yuan Shu's advisers agreed to this request. After all, it was in the interests of Yuan Shu's power to weaken this tiger as a neighbor.

Yuan Shu was also able to listen to his words. After being warned by his own advisers, he decisively cut off Sun Jian's food supply.

When Li Su received the results, he was a little surprised. It was incredible that things went smoothly.

Then he informed Hua Xiong without hesitation, how could he miss such a great opportunity?

"General Hua, things are just as I expected. There is a disagreement among the coalition forces. Sun Jian's food and grass have been cut off. This matter must be accomplished." Li Su was really excited at this moment, and the credit was already in front of him.

"Sun Jian's army only brought a few days of dry food. Now it must be out of food, and it can be defeated in one battle."

"Then I'll assemble the army first." Hua Xiong didn't say much after hearing the information he wanted to hear, and immediately prepared to regroup his army.

"General, don't be so anxious. It's still early at this time. Please wait a little longer." Li Su pointed to the sun in the sky, indicating that it was still early.

"Then when will we set off?" Hua Xiong looked at the sun in the sky, a little puzzled, "At this time, our army can be seen. In this case, wouldn't it be better to attack Sun Jian?"

"General, there are no spies of Sun Jian outside Sishui Pass. Do you believe it?" Li Su pointed at the pass, looked at Hua Xiong and said, "If Sun Jian was stupid, he would not make such a mistake."

Hua Xiong nodded after hearing this. He could do this kind of thing, and Sun Jian would definitely do the same. At this point, Hua Xiong had a full understanding of his own IQ.

"If we set off in the morning, Sun Jian will definitely be able to receive the message and prepare for battle in advance. According to the distance, we will start fighting at noon. Although the enemy has little food and grass, and probably has little strength, facing the enemy troops marching in formation,

Who knows what will happen." Li Su sighed lightly, and then said, "If we set off in the afternoon, even if Sun Jian receives the message, he has no food, and even if he wants to feed the soldiers, there is nothing he can do.

Just set up camp, can Sun Jian escape with his soldiers in the middle of the night?"

"I understand. If I set off in the morning, Sun Jian will be able to run away, right? Sun Jian won't be able to run away if we set off in the afternoon!" Hua Xiong's brain automatically filters out the redundant information and integrates the key information.
