The flags fluttered in the wind, the army surged like a tide, and a group of troops and horses rolled in from afar. It was Yuan Shu and the Kong brothers who came to rescue Sun Jian. They had nearly 70,000 to 80,000 troops under their control. Hu Zhen made a decisive move.
retreat;
"Hu Zhen took the initiative to attack. It seems that Wuhuan Hou was defeated miserably! Do you want to pursue?" Kong Niao and Yuan Shu rode side by side and asked loudly;
Young Master Yuan usually does not make any decisions. This time, too, he turned to his military advisor and asked: "Xian Xiao, Zhicai! What do you think?"
"Ten miles!" Xi Zhicai answered neatly. What he meant was that he would only pursue ten miles and retreat after exceeding this distance. Li spread his hands and said: "It should be so! Hu Zhen's troops are very mobile, so I'm afraid
They bite back!"
"Wen Ju Gong, Gong Xu Gong! What do you think?" Yuan Shu had a graceful demeanor and a gentle voice that was very contagious. Kong Rong and Kong Niao's affection for him skyrocketed: "Both of us are the same.
Confucian scholars, when we march and fight, we really have more than enough ambition but not enough strength. Please give me your orders, Mr. Yuan, and we will do our best!"
"Chase the Xiliang army! Xiaoxian! You take command!" Yuan Shu waved his hand. He probably likes to watch the fun most, and he is the kind of person who doesn't worry about big trouble when watching the fun. He rarely takes the initiative to take responsibility.
.
"Uncle! The Kwantung Army is catching up. The number is conservatively estimated to be more than 60,000 people! What should we do?" Zhang Xiu slipped behind the team and deliberately got closer to the Allied Army and conducted some reconnaissance: "Come for reinforcements.
The people are Yuan Shu, Kong Yi, and Kong Rong... Kong Rong is not something to be afraid of, but Yuan Shu needs to be taken seriously!"
"Oh? Yuan Shu... The prime minister is still obsessed with Li Xiaoxian, who is under Yuan Shu's command, right?" Hu Wencai said playfully: "How about... we capture him? Haha! You're kidding, I also know how awesome Li Xiaoxian is.
It’s not that I’ve never seen it before, it’s very difficult! But... I’m still looking forward to competing with him!”
"Isn't this... bad?" Zhang Xiu hesitated and said: "The enemy force is strong, and if something goes wrong, the current weak defense of Sishui Pass will be easily broken! Uncle! It's better to think twice before you act!
"
"Hahaha! Why are you nervous?" Hu Zhen turned slightly sideways on the horse and whispered: "Okay! Hua Xiong's soldiers and horses have probably arrived. Nothing will happen at Sishui Pass without him! He is also very powerful!
"
"But..." Zhang Xiu hesitated, sighed and stopped talking. Hu Zhen patted his shoulder: "The stronger the opponent, the greater the sense of accomplishment after defeating him! Jianzhong!
Separate three thousand soldiers and horses!"
Zhang Xiu bowed his hand and led three thousand soldiers and horses to separate from the left wing of the Xiliang Army and break away from the main force. This situation immediately attracted the attention of the Alliance Army. Li Kai looked at the small force that separated from the Xiliang Army in the distance. He thought about it.
Suddenly, he shouted in a deep voice: "Liu Xun! Lead eight thousand troops to pursue that small army!"
"Nuo!", finally got a chance to show off, and the unhappy Liu Xun became more energetic, beckoning his troops to pursue Zhang Xiu;
Hu Zhen, who was observing the situation while running and retreating, breathed a sigh of relief. She felt comfortable and waved her hand: "Hu Che'er! Lead three thousand troops and separate! Lead the enemy to pursue!"
The Xiliang army made another move, and Xi Zhicai said in a low voice: "The enemy may be conducting tactical divisions with the intention of continuously weakening the main force of our army! Be careful!"
Hu Zhen's strategic plan can be expressed in an academic way, which is the so-called how to win with less when the force is less than the opponent's. For example, if your own force is five, and the opponent's force is ten, what should you do?
Woolen cloth?
It's very simple to say, just divide out one one first, lure the three in the place, divide again, divide again, so that your own strength is two, and the opponent's strength is one, two against one. After victory, fight with one of the divisions
The soldiers and horses join together to attack the opponent, thus ensuring that the greater number wins the smaller number every time;
Theoretically it is feasible, but in fact the possibility of implementing this plan is very low. After all, the enemy is not a pig-brained person. He will be able to see through your tactical plan very quickly. Mr. Li sneered again and again. How can it be so cheap?
"Huang Zhong! Five thousand cavalry are left to you! Chase the first wave of enemy troops! Defeat them! Wu Anguo! Lead three thousand men to chase the second wave of enemy troops! No need to destroy them, just chase and follow them!
"
Huang Zhong raised the Cirrus Cloud Knife high, and the midday sun shone on the cold blade, emitting dazzling reflections: "Boys! Follow me!"
On the other side, Wu Anguo also led soldiers from Beihai County to pursue Hu Cheer. Wu Anguo... This guy can be said to be taller than most of the generals! Note that it is most of the generals. Generals are generally not as tall as
More than eight feet! And his height is exactly one or two! Even compared to Lu Bu!
He is strong and powerful, and the huge pumpkin hammer in his hand makes him even more powerful. Unfortunately, his martial arts skills are not outstanding. In Huang's words, I can kill him with twenty blows.
This is still a conservative estimate;
Such a tall man also wields a heavy sledgehammer. It is difficult for ordinary war horses to carry him. Even the best Dawan horses are overwhelmed, making him look bloated and bulky, and not very smart;
Kong Rong, a general like him, liked him from the bottom of his heart. He tied his beard and said with a smile: "General Wu An (Wu An is the compound surname) is extremely brave, comparable to Fan Kuai and others..."
Don't insult Fan Kuai! Mr. Li was heartbroken. He rolled his eyes and watched the movement on the other side intently. Hu Zhen accelerated her march and gathered the scattered soldiers and horses. It seemed that she did not intend to fight with them;
"It's already ten miles away!" Xi Zhicai reminded: "It's time to withdraw the troops. After the long-distance attack, the soldiers' physical strength is severely exhausted. If we get closer, if the defenders in Sishui Pass fight, it will be very disadvantageous for us. It is better to reorganize the troops and horses and then fight again."
Let’s make plans!”
"That makes sense! Ming Jin withdraws his troops! Orders Huang Zhong to rear up! Let's go! Let's see how General Sun Wentai is doing!" After giving the order, Li got into the carriage and fell asleep. Although he could ride a horse, he preferred to ride in a car.
, because he is not only a foodie but also a sleepyhead;
The alliance army withdrew, and the Xiliang army also slowed down. Hu Zhen smacked her lips: "He is indeed a shrewd guy, not easy to cheat! Hua Xiong's guy is coming soon, right? The number of troops is also a source of confidence! Hahaha
..."
Hu Zhen returned victorious, and troops were already arrayed outside Sishui Pass to welcome his return. This man was nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and a monkey's waist, and a rugged appearance. He was none other than Hua Xiong, who was known as the number one warrior in Kansai!
He is Hu Zhen's general, the first general under his command. He has just led 20,000 knights to rush to the rescue;
Seeing Hu Zhen's return, Hua Xiong grinned widely. In his impression, following Hu Wen was a happy thing, because he didn't need to think about anything, he only had to ride his horse and wield his sword to always be at the forefront.
Just ahead;
"It's great to congratulate the general on his return from victory! This is the edict of the Prime Minister! Please take a look at it, general! In addition...it's time to return the military talisman to you!" Li Su said from the side;
Hu Zhen patted Hua Xiong on the shoulder. She smiled and said nothing. She kept it all in mind that they were old comrades in arms. She reached out and took the military talisman and bamboo slips. She looked at them carefully and handed them to Li Su: "Li Su
What's your opinion? It seems... it's getting more and more interesting!"
"Be the first to defeat Luoyang and kill...who will become the great general? Is it the continuation of whoever enters Guanzhong first will be the king?" Li Su's face changed drastically: "The alliance army is divided into five groups...and there is enough reason to attack desperately.
I’m afraid the next battle will be fierce!”
"Sishui Pass, Hulao Pass, Xingyang, Yellow River, Qiguan... Hahaha! Just what I want!" Hu Zhen's eyes showed excitement. His figure looked very slim among the generals, only
He is about 7 feet 8, has a broad frame, and looks very lean. Someone once said that he looks like a sick tiger, but his nature is murderous!
Hua Xiong touched his furry head and grinned. His reaction was a little slow and stupid, and he didn't understand the reason. He didn't know what Hu Wencai wanted to do at this moment. He said angrily: "Mr. Li Ru also asked me to bring
Hundreds of people. They said they must be handed over to Yuan Jiujiu..."
"Got it! I'll take a nap first!" Hu Zhen hummed a little tune and couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart. She waved her hand and walked towards the pass...

...........
"Why is Wentai so embarrassed?" When the alliance army returned to Sun Jian's barracks, Sun Wentai was still sitting on the pile of corpses and remained silent. It seemed that he had been greatly shocked. Young Master Yuan stepped forward to comfort him: "Well.
..Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists, so don’t worry about it if you are a military official!"
Sun Jian's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes and his chest was heaving. There was a possibility of violence at any time, but Young Master Yuan's identity did not allow him to lose face: "Hu Wencai... is amazing! I, Sun Jian, have been defeated and have nothing to say."
!”
"Clean the battlefield. Ashes to ashes, soil to dust, don't let your dead brothers hang out!" Sun Jian stood up suddenly and told the people around him to clean the battlefield as soon as possible. His mood was slightly better and he was no longer depressed;
Thinking about it, it was impossible for him not to feel disappointed when a victorious general was defeated in such a playful way;
"General Yuan? Duke Wen Ju? Gong Xu Gong? What are you..." Qiao Mao came, belatedly, especially Sun Jian's cold eyes, which were like a sharp knife stabbing his chest repeatedly.
His face made him feel ashamed and angry at the same time;
Sun Wentai had reason to despise him. It was because his performance was really poor. Sun Jian asked him to be the governor, hoping that he could use ruthless means to stabilize the coalition forces when the Xiliang army broke through the coalition formation, but he...
. Trembling, he ran away with the defeated army!
"Leader Yuan has made an appointment with you all. The one who defeats Luoyang first and kills Dong Zhuo will be the general! Now the entire coalition army is divided into five groups and heading to different places to start fierce battles with Dong Zhuo. We are here to help you!" Yuan Shu laughed.
answer;
Qiao Mao cupped his hands: "That's very good...that's very good! Please invite the gentlemen to garrison the military camp!" Qiao Mao was frightened, not only by the ferocity of the Xiliang army, but also by the way Sun Wentai looked at him.
The wolf looking at the sheep made him frightened. When Yuan Shu came, he found his backbone;
"Rat droppings in a pot of fresh soup!" Xi Zhicai muttered in a low voice: "Find a way... to get rid of him? How about it?"
"Well? Brother Zhicai...you are evil!" Mr. Li couldn't help complaining. When did a good person become so ruthless? Of course, he has such thoughts now! "What you said
, you can think about it yourself!”
Xi Zhicai shook his head: "One person is short-sighted, but two people are wise. I guess this is what you, Li Xiaoxian, are best at, right? Why don't you give me some constructive suggestions? You just let me, a tuberculosis man, suffer..."
"What do you mean this is what I'm best at? Brother Zhicai! This is a naked slander!" Mr. Li's voice suddenly raised an octave: "I am a very pure person, as pure as
A blank piece of paper!”
"If you were as pure as a piece of white paper, I would still be a newborn baby! Only a ghost would believe this!" Xi Zhicai curled his lips and answered Li's question with great disdain, which made Li Kai angry.
jump straight;
"What are the chances of breaking through the Sishui Pass?" After the joke, Mr. Li seriously discussed with Xi Zhicai what they should do now; Xi Zhicai pondered: "Less than 30%!... So, we are now
You should do something else. Do you think so?"
Li Kai stretched out his hand and patted Xi Zhicai's hand: "Heroes think alike! This is exactly the truth! Qiao Hao! He's dead!"
Qiao Mao is a loyal supporter of Yuan Shao. He is an outlier in the coalition circle outside Sishui Pass. Apart from him, the other three people, Sun Jian, Kong Rong, and Kong Niao, are all leaning towards Yuan Shu, and he should be right.
It has become a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, and must be pulled out;
If you want to kill him, you also need an upright reason. This reason must be upright, otherwise it will be difficult to stop everyone in the world from talking!
The matter of killing Qiao Mao was still being planned, and Hu Wencai came up with another problem for the alliance, or a trap specifically for Yuan Shu! He sent a small team of cavalry to send someone over! An old lady, Yuan Wei's first wife
, Yuan Shu’s aunt!
After the old lady arrived, she begged Yuan Shu to save her children and the whole family... Hu Zhen's letter was also sent over, stating in her heart that she wanted Yuan Shu to go to Sishui Pass to retrieve the hostages in person! Otherwise, the vote would be broken.
!
This is a naked conspiracy. If Yuan Shu goes, he will probably never come back in this life. At present, he is also the leader of this small group. After he dies, the alliance army will be destroyed in terms of morale, popular support, etc.
The disaster just fulfilled Hu Zhen’s wish;
What if you don’t go? The Confucian culture that has been passed down for hundreds of years will condemn you, putting filial piety first and highlighting the word filial piety. If Yuan Shu doesn’t go, Hu Zhen will kill his uncle’s family, and the world will criticize him... But
capable of drowning;
These are nothing. The key point is that Yuan Wei... is dead! This leads to a bigger question, who will the position of head of the Yuan family be passed to? Why did Yuan Wei's family find Yuan Shu's head!
Li Kai remained silent. In his letter to Dong Zhuo, he hoped that Dong Zhuo would let Yuan Wei go... Now it seems that Dong Zhuo only killed Yuan Wei out of consideration for affection and did not harm the family. Instead, he killed Yuan Wei.
The fact that Jia Xiao gave it to Yuan Shu is full of Li Ru's style of doing things;
I'm afraid that at the same time that Yuan Wei's family arrived at Yuan Shu's place, Yuan Shao would also get the news, right? Li laughed twice. The position of the head of the Yuan family... is another excellent bargaining chip! Yuan Benchu will definitely
A lot of money was spent!
"Highway! Your uncle suffered such a catastrophe, not even a body was left alive... I don't ask you to avenge him. At least help him save a trace of his blood! Your uncle is a little harsh on you, but still
I haven't treated you badly. You should be more considerate because of your age, right?" The old lady kept crying and even knelt down to beg Yuan Shu;
Yuan Shu went to help the old lady at a loss: "Uncle! You are forcing me to death! Can you stand up first? If you do, someone will poke me in the spine!"
"If you don't agree! I won't stand up!" The old lady lay on the ground with tears in her eyes...
Relying on the old and showing off! Xi Zhicai and Li Kai looked at each other, and each saw the helplessness and disgust in the other's eyes, but this was Yuan Shu's family, and they were not qualified to point fingers. Xi Zhicai pouted, and Xi Zhicai motioned to Li to ask for help.
Two holes;
Both Kong were great scholars of the time and leaders of the gentry. With them coming forward to excuse Yuan Shu, even if Yuan Shu did not go to Sishui Pass in exchange for Yuan Kai's family, no one would blame him. Fame can sometimes do things that you can't.
!
Mr. Li happened to have a close friendship with Er Kong. In addition to the big tent, he rushed into the tent of the two old men and hissed and sighed, as if he couldn't survive for long. Kong Min said in surprise: "Why are you like this, dear brother?"
"
"Yuan Sikong was killed... I used to have some friendship with Dong Zhuo, and I was able to temporarily save Yuan Sikong's family. However, Hu Zhen secretly detained Yuan Sikong's family and asked Mr. Yuan to replace him by name...
.Oh my God! Mr. Yuan has a deep filial piety. If this goes away...I'm afraid it will never come back! From now on, Mr. Li will inevitably live on the street again!", while sighing, making a pitiful look, winning
a lot of sympathy;
"Is there such a thing?" Kong Rong suddenly stood up: "You must not let Mr. Yuan take the risk. Our five-pronged army all looks to Mr. Yuan as the leader. He is the leader... we must stop him!"
"But Yuan Sikong's first wife has knelt down to beg Mr. Yuan. I don't think Mr. Yuan will remain indifferent..." Mr. Li's voice became softer as he spoke;
"What are you doing to a woman?" Kong Rong was furious. He stood up and walked out: "How can military and national affairs be a trivial matter? Huh! This matter has been taken care of by me! Xiaoxian, please rest assured!"
"Let's go together, let's go together!" Kong Min also looked impassioned. The two old men were very angry!
Li smiled and took a pot of water and wine to drink: "Huh...that's enough, right? Haha!"
