Chapter 496 : Chapter 177: The Tigers' Frustrating Defeat (2)
...
Since being defeated by Lu Bu, Hua Xiong's life has been getting harder and harder. Read the latest chapter of VIP\\ When he heard that the 19-way prince coalition forces were attacking, he was happier than him. To gain Dong Zhuo's trust again, he urgently needed a great contribution! When he rushed to Dong Zhuo's mansion, he happened to meet Dong Zhuo's slaves coming to ask him to discuss matters.
"General Hua, you must make a great contribution this time!" Hua Xiong had been Dong Zhuo's personal bodyguard, and these servants were also very familiar with Hua Xiong. Since Lu Bu came, Hua Xiong's "incompetent" personal bodyguard was replaced by Lu Bu. However, Lu Bu was arrogant and looked down on these slaves at all. These slaves dared not speak out, and they were often dissatisfied with Hua Xiong.
"Thank you for your reminder. This time I will definitely win the first merit. Let the Grand Master take a look. I, Hua Xiong, are not an incompetent!" Hua Xiong said gratefully.[
"We are all unfair to the general! We just hope that the general can lead troops to fight and return with great victory!" The slave also said excitedly. Compared with Lu Bu, Hua Xiong was simply a model for the people! Unfortunately, there was no top ten youth evaluation at that time, otherwise this family would definitely vote for Hua Xiong.
"Thank you brother Ji Yan. I will ask the Grand Master to agree to my expedition if I say this time!" Hua Xiong made up his mind.
When Hua Xiong came to the meeting hall of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Li Ru and others were already waiting there early. However, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu had not arrived yet.
Hua Xiong walked up to Li Ru and whispered: "Wen Zheng, you must help your brother this time!"
How could Li Ru not guess Hua Xiong’s thoughts? After a smile, Li Ru also whispered: “This is the general!”
Hua Xiong was happy after getting Li Ru's guarantee. You must know that Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's think tank! As long as Li Ru agrees, this matter will probably be done!
Not long after, Dong Zhuo walked in with his big belly, Lu Bu followed him, pressing his sword hilt with his hands, his sword eyebrows and tiger eyes were so majestic!
"I think everyone knows the rebellion of the princes. Today I come to report that the vanguard of the princes has approached Hulao Pass. I am very worried!" Dong Zhuo sat on a golden chair. The golden chair was completely built according to the specifications and styles of the dragon chair that the emperor sat on. Although he could not openly sit on the emperor's dragon chair in the court, it felt even more pleasant to sit on the emperor's mansion!
Lu Bu stood up from behind Dong Zhuo, half-kneeled and held his fists: "Don't worry, Father! The child regards the princes outside the pass like a collapsed dog. I wish to raise a tiger and wolf army and slaughter them and destroy them, which has relieved my father's worries!"
Lu Bu became addicted to being a godfather. After following Dong Zhuo, he also worshiped Dong Zhuo's godfather. Although it was despicable, he really gained Dong Zhuo's trust. Now he has paid hello to him and lead the cavalry camp!
When Hua Xiong saw Lu Bu standing up, he was very anxious. You snatched all the credits by you, so we can do nothing!
"Why use a cattle knife to kill a chicken?" Hua Xiong quickly stood up: "Wen Hou will not take the horse, and I will kill all the invading enemies for the Grand Master to shock the poor people in the world. Let them be scared when they hear the Grand Master's name and dare not rebel again!"
Dong Zhuo raised his eyes and it turned out to be Hua Xiong!
Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo also felt a little ashamed of Hua Xiong during this period. After all, he was one of the first people to follow him and made great contributions to himself. But now that Lu Bu and Hua Xiong both asked for their orders to fight, he was a little embarrassed. He looked at Li Ru and asked him to make an idea for him.
Li Ru smiled slightly and stood up: "My father-in-law, my son-in-law thinks General Hua deserves this responsibility. Besides, Luoyang was at its beginning, and there was turmoil at the beginning. Marquis Wen was by his side, so his father-in-law had no worries!"
The same sentence made Li Ru say it obviously differently. Originally, Lu Bu and Hua Xiong competed for merit, but by Li Ru's words, it not only made Hua Xiong lead the troops to fight as he wished, but also gave Lu Bu a high hat, which made Lu Bu a little fluttering!
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this: "Wenyou's words are reasonable. Since this is the case, he ordered Hua Xiong to lead 50,000 elite troops to Hulao Pass and defeat the rebellious princes!"
Hua Xiong hurriedly thanked him. Dong Zhuo ordered Li Su and Zhao Cen to go together. Hua Xiong left at night and rushed to Hulao Pass overnight.
...[
Sun Jian won consecutive battles and fought all the way to Hulao Pass. However, because his speed was too fast, he had already left the large army, which was a bit like going deeper. However, after winning one after another, Sun Jian couldn't help but feel proud, thinking that Dong Zhuo was just like this. After coming to Hulao Pass, he didn't stop for much and directly ordered the siege!
Hulao Pass is a famous hero. Sun Jian wanted to break through with 15,000 troops, obviously underestimated the enemy. After a day of attack, he suffered a huge loss. In the end, he failed to take Hulao Pass.
"Lord, let's wait until the army meets before discussing the breaking of the barrier!"
Sun Jian was upset when he suddenly heard someone say he would not beat him anymore and was about to get angry, but when he looked up, he saw that it was his general Cheng Pu. Cheng Pu, whose courtesy name was Demou, was from Tuyin, Peking. He followed him during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and was calm and composed. He was half of his adviser. Seeing that the person who spoke was him, Sun Jian suppressed his anger: "Demou, Liu Feng trusted me very much. How could I let him down?"
Cheng Pu frowned, knowing that his lord was a man of temperament. He had more heroic skills on the battlefield, but he had fewer conspiracies in the officialdom: "Lord, the matter of alliance is not the matter of my princes in Changsha. What's more, Hulao Pass has been a heroic pass since ancient times. It's really hard to rely on our troops alone!"
After saying a few words to Cheng Pu, Sun Jian gradually calmed down: "Demou is reasonable, but I am really unwilling to withdraw the troops!"
Cheng Pu pondered for a moment: "If the lord is unwilling to withdraw his troops, then we will send someone to send an urgent letter to ask the left and right guards Kong Rong and Gongsun Zan to help the war. It is not difficult to break the barrier!"
"Okay!" Sun Jian clapped his hands and stood up: "That's it! First, order to retreat ten miles to set up a camp. When the left and right guards arrive, it will be the day when we break through the pass!"
But I can't think that at this time, Sun Jian suddenly found that his rear army was in chaos. A small school came to report: "Lord, a group of people suddenly appeared in the mountains and burned our food and grass!"
Sun Jian was shocked, and at this time he had already gone deeper. If he lost food and grass, the five thousand troops would be defeated without attacking.
The roof was leaking and the rain was raining all night, and the boat was late and the wind was on the head. At this moment, a golden drum sounded and the city gate opened. Several generals led their troops out!
Sun Jian was shocked and hurriedly led his army to meet the enemy, but the rear army was in chaos and could not meet the enemy in a hurry. Sun Jian had no choice but to lead a guard to rush left and right. However, more and more troops rushed out of Hulao Pass, and Sun Jian finally couldn't hold on and led his army to break through!
Chapter completed!
