Chapter 215 Sun Jian's Defeat
Dong Zhuo regrets how much he is now. He regrets not killing Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, two bastards, especially Yuan Shao, who dared to go against him. He used to spare him because the Yuan family was too powerful. Now, I still have any concerns. Thinking of this, he shouted: "Come, send an order to capture Yuan Shao's family for me, kill the whole family, and leave no one."
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu heard that all his family were beheaded by Dong Zhuo, so angry that he jumped into his feet and scolded Dong Zhuo for being shameless. Now the two brothers Yuan Shao finally saw clearly the cruelty of Dong Zhuo.
Yuan Shao said: "Although I am not talented, since I have accepted the title of the general leader, then we must reward merits and punish crimes. The country has regular punishments and the army has discipline. All princes must strictly abide by it and not violate it, otherwise the military law will be ruthless."
All the princes said that the orders were only listened to, so please give orders from the leader.
Yuan Shao continued: "My brother Yuan Shu, the governor of the country, should deal with the food and grass, and ensure the supply of food and grass. You must not have any problems with food and grass supply. In addition, one person must be the pioneer, go directly to the Sishui Pass to challenge and defeat this dangerous pass. This is very important for our coalition. The other princes are in the dangerous fortress and are ready to respond at any time."
Zhang Liao pulled Lu Ning's clothes at this time. Lu Ning knew that he wanted to take the vanguard himself and whispered, "Sir, don't worry, it's not time for us to take action, watch the show first. We can't stand out too early for the time being, otherwise there will be trouble. Didn't the ancients say that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong?"
At this time, I saw a man pulling his armor and out and shouting, "I am willing to be the vanguard." Lu Ning looked up and saw that it was Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, Hou Wucheng. This was exactly the same as in history. It seemed that Sun Jian was going to lose again. Lu Ning shook his head and sighed.
Seeing that Sun Jian had thick eyebrows, bright eyes, white face, black beard, standing in front of him, he was imposing and quite royal. He was really a hero. If this person didn't die early, he might have achieved great success.
When Yuan Shao saw that it was Sun Jian, he immediately smiled and said, "Wentai is brave and fierce, but he can take this important task."
After Sun Jian was so happy that he led his troops to the Sishui Pass.
Speaking of releasing the account and returning to the camp, Zhang Liao immediately asked: "I just asked my elder brother to take over this vanguard. We will kill the generals and win the pass and create the reputation of our Bingzhou army. Why don't my elder brother compete? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Lu Ning asked back: "Third brother, do you think Sun Wentai will win this time?"
After hearing this, Zhang Liao replied: "Brother, Sun Wentai is a tiger in Jiangdong, so he will definitely win this time."
Lu Ning smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Liao and said, "I don't think so. Although Sun Wentai is brave and his soldiers are also elite troops. Although he will have a small victory here, he will inevitably be defeated in the end."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun asked, "Brother, is it that the enemy has such a capable person that even Sun Wentai cannot win?"
Lu Ning smiled and said, "No, it was actually defeated within the coalition, not Sun Jian's incompetence. Third and fourth brothers, think about it. Yuan Shu, Governor of Food and Grass, is narrow-minded, impermanent, greedy for small profits and forgets the great power. If he sees Sun Jian's army win, he will not be willing to send food and grass. If the three armies have no food, no matter how powerful the army is, it will be useless. Therefore, Sun Jian will be defeated in this way. I don't want to be a pioneer, just because of this. Besides, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. This is an eternal principle."
The soldiers guarding the pass went to Luoyang overnight to challenge the emergency. Dong Zhuo was shocked after hearing this and appointed Huaxiong as the captain of the cavalry, leading 50,000 horse and infantry troops, Li Su, Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen as deputy generals, rushed to Sishui Pass to respond to the enemy.
Among the princes, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, was thinking that Sun Jian was the vanguard, for fear that he would win the first prize, so he secretly sent his brother Bao Zhong to first lead the three thousand cavalry troops and secretly seize the small path until the gates were in full swing.
Hua Xiong led five hundred cavalry to fly down the pass and shouted loudly: "Don't leave!" Bao Zhong was eager to retreat, but was cut by Hua Xiong and killed him on the horse. Many generals and schoolmen were captured alive. Dong Zhuo was even more happy when he saw the first victory in the battle and immediately appointed Hua Xiong as the governor.
The next day, Sun Jian led a large army to the front of the pass, and he took the lead. He was wearing rotten silver armor, wrapped in red tiles, holding an ancient ingot knife, riding a flower-maned horse, and majestic. Four generals lined up behind him. The first on the left was a Tuyin from Youbeiping, who was a titanium spine snake spear, with the surname Cheng name Pu and the courtesy name Demou; the second on the left was a Lingling person, with the surname Huang name Gai and the courtesy name Gongfu; the third was a Han name Dang, with the courtesy name Yigong, and the person Lingzhi people in Liaoxi, who was a big knife; the fourth was a Zu, with the name Mao, with the courtesy name Darong, and a native of Fuchun from Wujun, who was a double sword. The four generals were majestic behind Sun Jian.
Sun Jian pointed at Guan Shang and cursed: "You ordinary men who helped the evildoer, now that my army has arrived, aren't you going to surrender soon?"
Hua Xiong was furious and was about to go out of seclusion to fight. Deputy General Hu Zhen volunteered and said, "Why use a ox knife to kill a chicken? The general rested for a moment and asked me to go and kill Sun Jian."
After hearing this, Hua Xiong was overjoyed and ordered Hu Zhen to lead five thousand troops out of the pass to fight.
Seeing that the gate of the city was blocked, Cheng Pu rushed out of the enemy. Without saying a word, he thrust the horse and speared him straight into Hu Zhen. The two of them didn't fight for several rounds, Cheng Pu stabbed Hu Zhen into the throat with a shot, and Hu Zhen died under the horse. Seeing this, Sun Jian urgently ordered the drummer to beat the drum and commanded the army to rush. The army rushed to the front of the pass, but the arrow stones were like rain on the closed door, and the soldiers were injured and killed. Seeing that they could not capture for a long time, Sun Jian had to sing the gold and withdraw the troops and retreat to Liangdong. At the same time, he sent someone to report good news to Yuan Shao, and sent someone to Yuan Shu to urge grain.
After Yuan Shu received the letter, someone from his subordinates said, "Sun Jian is a fierce tiger in Jiangdong. If he breaks Luoyang and kills Dong Zhuo, he will get the tiger by eliminating the wolf. If he doesn't provide him with food and supplies, Sun Jian's army will be defeated."
After hearing what his subordinates said, Yuan Shu refused to distribute military rations to Sun Jian's army. A few days later, Sun Jian's army was short of food, and the morale of the soldiers in the army was in chaos. If you do some details, please report to Huaxiong. Li Su made a plan and said, "There is no food in Sun Jian's army, and the morale of the army will be revived. Tonight, I will lead one side to attack Sun Jian's village from Xiaguan to attack Sun Jian's front camp. Sun Jian can capture it."
After hearing this, Hua Xiong followed it and ordered the soldiers to have a meal and go to the gate of the night. It was the moon and the wind was clear. When it arrived at Sun Jian's village, it was already midnight and he was beating the drum and moving forward directly. Sun Jian hurriedly put on his horse and met Hua Xiong. The two horses intersected and fought for several times. Later, Li Su's army arrived and sent people to set fire. Sun Jian's army ran around. The generals fought in a mess, and only Zu Mao followed Ding Sun Jian and broke through. Hua Xiong chased after him. Sun Jian took out the arrow and fired two arrows in a row, but Hua Xiong avoided them. When he fired the third arrow, he pulled the magpie's bow because he used too much force and had to abandon the bow and run on the horse. Zu Mao broke the rear. Since Sun Jian escaped from a small road, Zu Mao was indeed killed by Hua Xiong.
