Chapter 8: Rescue Sun Jian
Hua Xiong shook his sword in his hand and snorted disdainfully: "What kind of coalition of princes is just a native chicken and a tile dog. Who would have come out of seclusion and killed this person?"
"I am willing to go to the position of humbleness." The general Hu Zhen came out of the list.
"Okay, General Hu is a powerful general in our army. If this agent is killed, I will ask for you in front of the prime minister." Hua Xiong laughed.
"Thank you, General." Hu Zhen excitedly picked up the long sword handed over by the soldier and turned over the horse.
Seeing Hu Zhen facing the battle, Cheng Pu didn't answer, and he held up his spear and took Hu Zhen straight. Fang could not fight with three matches. Hu Zhen complained in his heart. The opponent's strength was too much stronger than him, so he could only support him tenaciously.
Seeing that Cheng Pu was anxious to take Hu Zhen, he sold a flaw. Hu Zhen showed joy on his face and took Cheng Pu's chest with a long sword. Cheng Pu dodged, shouting, and a spear stabbed Hu Zhen's throat.
When Hua Xiong saw Cheng Pu's bravery, he was slightly shocked. Hu Zhen's strength was not weak in the Xiliang army.
When Sun Jian saw Cheng Pu killing Hu Zhen, he waved the ancient ingot knife and the army rushed to the front of the pass. The two thousand soldiers and horses who followed Hu Zhen to fight hurriedly fled into the pass.
After rushing for a while, Sun Jian saw that the gate was closed, arrows were raining on the city, and the siege equipment was not transported, so he led his troops back to Liangdongtun to station. When the siege equipment arrived, he attacked Sishui Pass.
Sun Jian was very happy to win the first battle. The Qing emperor killed the rebels, but he was a great achievement. If he broke through the Sishui Pass, he, a pioneer general, would be famous all over the world.
"Lord, the food and grass for the camp is only enough for today's needs, and the food and grass have not been transported yet." After Cheng Pu counted the food and grass, he hurriedly asked to see Sun Jian.
"Immediately order someone to check at Yuan Highway, and there is no way to lose food and grass." Sun Jian was not happy just now, because food and grass were the foundation of the army.
"No." Cheng Pu took the order and left hurriedly.
Let’s talk about Lu Bu’s nothing in the camp, so he walked around the camp of the princes. He had a reputation for fighting against the rebellious thief Dong Zhuo, and it was easy to get closer to the princes. He was very happy to be called brothers and brothers in history.
However, he found that among the princes, except for Gongsun Zan, Ma Teng and Cao Cao had a very happy conversation with him, the other princes had a somewhat cold attitude and a little repulsive.
"General, I'll report to the Ma Ma. Sun Jian's army has no food and grass. For some reason, Yuan Shu has been reluctant to distribute food. It is said that the people sent by Sun Jian to urge food were also detained by him." Cao Xing whispered.
"Hmph, a short-sighted villain." Lu Bu looked down on Yuan Shu quite seriously. Relying on his family background, he acted in the coalition forces and would sooner or later suffer the consequences.
"Cao Xing, immediately order two thousand cavalry and follow the general to rescue General Sun." Lu Bu ordered for a moment of contemplation.
"No." Cao Xing clasped his fists.
"General, Sun Jian has nothing to do with our army, and he was still annoyed when he reminded him a few days ago. Why did he go to rescue him?" Gao Shun was very surprised that Lu Bu knew in advance that Sun Jian was short of food.
"Sun Wentai is a tiger general. To fight against Dong Dajun, how can we watch allies suffer? Moreover, our army has a small number of people in the coalition. Making friends with other princes is also to prevent the Yuan brothers from making things difficult for us, especially Yuan Gaolu, who has a villain's heart, and has to be careful."
After listening to Lu Bu's explanation, Gao Shun clasped his fists and said, "General Gao Jing."
"When did you learn to flatter?" Lu Bu said with a smile.
"What Bei Zhi said is the truth. The general was able to learn about Sun Jian’s low grain in advance, which shows that he knew very well about Yuan Shu."
"General Gao, General Cao and I lead the cavalry to Sishui Pass to rescue General Sun. You temporarily take charge of the entire military affairs. If there is any situation, you will deal with it yourself."
"No." Gao Shun said loudly. Since Lu Bu was injured on a horse, he found that Lu Bu had changed a lot. He cared about his soldiers and learned to consider others. He attributed all this to the death of Governor Ding.
Let’s talk about the news that Sun Jian’s food shortage was Hua Xiong learned from Sishui Pass that under Li Su’s plan, Hua Xiong divided his troops into two groups that night and left the pass and rushed towards Sun Jian’s camp.
Sun Jian, who was worried about food and grass, did not expect Huaxiong to attack the camp. In addition, the soldiers did not have enough food and grass after several battles, and the morale of the army was unstable. The army was in chaos, and people were trampled on, and countless casualties were injured.
"Yuan Shu, a son, misled me." Sun Jian cursed.
"General, Hua Xiong is coming, go quickly." Cheng Pu organized his troops to resist the enemy, and the Western Liang army was about to break through the formation.
"General, go quickly." Zu Mao led a team of people to fight and said anxiously.
"Public refusal, you go first." Seeing the troops under his command in a mess, the soldiers were not aware of their generals, Sun Jian's eyes were filled with tears. Unexpectedly, the army was defeated without food and grass, which made him explain to the soldiers.
"General, you can't. Only by leaving a useful body can you avenge us." Cheng Pu's face was covered in blood.
"Let's go." Sun Jian gritted his teeth, and he chose to retreat in the face of big troubles.
Hua Xiong followed Li Su's advice and set fires everywhere in the camp. Coupled with the impact of the cavalry of the Western Liang army, Sun Jian's army was soon defeated.
"Sun Jian, where can I escape?" Hua Xiong shouted when he saw Zu Mao leading a team of troops to protect Sun Jian from breaking out.
Sun Jian waved the ancient ingot knife in his hand and cursed angrily: "Shameless child, I see that I will take your life."
When the two swords intersected, Hua Xiong was shocked. Unexpectedly, Sun Jian had such martial arts skills, restrained his mind and fought with Sun Jian.
After several rounds, Sun Jian saw more and more enemy troops rushing towards him, and with a feint, Hua Xiong naturally refused to let Sun Jian go and led the cavalry to chase him. The cavalry in Liangzhou were all elite, and wherever he passed, there were more and less soldiers around Sun Jian.
Hua Xiong's sword technique made him elusive and approached Sun Jian. He suddenly shouted: "Children Sun Jian, see where you are going, why don't you get off the horse and surrender quickly. This general will give you a good word in front of the prime minister and spare you."
"Don't think about it." Sun Jian snorted coldly. Faced with more and more enemy troops, the long sword would take away a life every time it rises and falls. The power of the cavalry's impact shocked him.
"Protect General." Zu Mao shouted loudly and turned around and rushed towards Hua Xiong.
"Darong." Sun Jian's eyes were filled with tears.
"Lord, go quickly." Zu Mao said anxiously.
After repeated rushing, Zu Mao was a little weak and was about to be killed by Hua Xiong.
With fewer and fewer soldiers under his command, Sun Jian felt hopeless of breaking through the siege and cursed to the sky: "Yuan Gonglu, I am irreconcilable to you."
When Hua Xiong saw that Sun Jian gave up his resistance, he was overjoyed. As long as he killed the vanguard general of the coalition of the princes, it would definitely be a great contribution, and his position in the Xiliang army would be higher.
Zu Mao in front of him made Hua Xiong angry. Although this person's martial arts skills were not as good as him, he used a move to fight for his life, regardless of the injuries on his body. If he was killed, he would definitely suffer a considerable injury, which Hua Xiong could not bear.
Sun Jian led the soldiers and turned to the Xiliang Army. When the soldiers under him saw the bravery of the commander, they all looked at death as if they were home. For a moment, they suppressed the arrogant Xiliang Army.
