Chapter 139 I didn’t expect that I, Hua Xiong, is also a wise general! [Please subscribe and vote monthly]

"I am willing to pioneer for this!"

A loud shout rang out in the camp, causing everyone to turn their attention in unison.

I saw a middle-aged man with a majestic figure and a mighty appearance. He quickly came to the center of the field, bowed down and said this.

It was none other than Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, who is currently the governor of Changsha.

At this moment, Sun Jian was wearing armor, with a red scarf wrapped around his head, and a long sword called an ancient ingot on his waist.

Um?

Ancient ingot knife!

Cao Ang looked at this matching knife and couldn't help but think about it. He had to think of a way to get this knife.

Regarding Sun Jian.

Cao Ang still has a lot of praise.

The fierce men on the battlefield will fight at the slightest disagreement and will kill anyone they catch. This can be seen from the fact that when Sun Jian came, he killed Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang.

.

He has both strength and luck.

If Cao Ang hadn't intercepted Hu in advance and fished out the imperial seal from the well in the palace, I'm afraid it would have been Sun Jian's turn to have this great fortune after taking Luoyang on this trip.

It's just that such a fierce man didn't end well. He died under Liu Biao's account and in the hands of Huang Zu. He collapsed halfway through his business.

Never mind these.

At this moment, Yuan Shao looked at Sun Jian, who asked him to be the vanguard, and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

You must know that Sun Jian's title of Marquis of Wucheng was achieved through his service on the battlefield with his sword and spear. He fought for many years and went through countless battles, and was promoted through his merits.

With him as a pioneer, I think there will be a lot to do!

Think about this.

Yuan Shao immediately walked around the table, quickly came to Sun Jian, and lifted him up with both hands.

"Wen Tai is brave and brave, and his military skills are extraordinary. He is qualified to shoulder this important task."

"Since you have asked for a battle, I order you to immediately lead five thousand troops and rush to the outside of Chenggao Pass to conduct a test. After dealing with Hua Xiong, regardless of success or failure, you must report back quickly!"

"Here!"

Sun Jian said in a deep voice.

He asked for the command talisman from Yuan Shao, bowed slightly to Yuan Shu, and then turned around and left the camp.

The alliance against Dong Zhuo, the first battle between the two forces is about to begin.

…

After receiving the military order.

Sun Jian led his troops and horses to run day and night. In a hurry, he had already covered most of the distance in just a few days.

It is currently located in an abandoned village.

Sun Jian was waiting for the scouts he sent to explore the horse to report back. Chenggao Pass was not far away, so he could not march recklessly at high speed.

Stand high with your hands behind your back.

Sun Jian had a panoramic view of the dilapidated scene of the entire abandoned village. Everywhere he saw were broken walls and ruins, and the ground was littered with messy debris.

Some of the remaining household items in the house, as well as pots, pans, stoves and beds, all indicate that a large number of people lived in this place before, leaving clear traces here.

But now it is deserted.

I searched the whole village, but couldn't find a soul.

Behind the village, some soldiers discovered some bones, many of which were newly buried.

So what happened here is obvious.

Sun Jian couldn't help feeling a little sad for a moment.

"Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty. It was so prosperous in the past. Many people lived in the surrounding villages. Although they were not rich, they were stable."

"But now, this most kind place in the world has become a burial place for the living people. Everywhere you look is a wasteland. How many evils has the evil thief Dong Zhuo done!"

After muttering a few words to himself.

Sun Jian shook his head helplessly.

"well!"

He casually patted a tree trunk next to him and let out a long sigh.

"If Duke Bo Shen had listened to my suggestion and killed Dong Zhuo, how could there have been such a tragic disaster today?"

Duke Bo Shen is Zhang Wen.

He once served as the superior of Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian and others, and was ordered to suppress the rebellions of Han Sui, Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu and others, which was powerful in the world at that time.

Sun Jian once advised Zhang Wen to kill Dong Zhuo, who had no military discipline and was arrogant, but it was a pity that Zhang Wen did not take his advice.

After sighing for a while.

Suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves outside the station.

Then I saw several soldiers rushing up from the slope, came to Sun Jian, and knelt down on one knee.

"General Qi, according to our investigation, from now on, the road to the area more than 30 miles outside Chenggao Pass will be smooth!"

"The road is sparsely populated. Most of the villages along the way are in ruins. There are basically signs of looting, burning and killing. Except for a few people living in seclusion in the mountains to avoid disaster, the brothers have not seen anyone else!"

"Then we hid our whereabouts and quietly observed. The four gates in the city were tightly closed, and no one came in or out. There were many sentries on the city walls, and they were heavily guarded."

After the soldiers finished reporting.

Sun Jian waved his hand and motioned for them to go down and rest, while he leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes to think.

The road was smooth and went directly to Chenggao Pass, which was closed and heavily guarded.

It seems that Hua Xiong is preparing to occupy the city and defend it.

All the dangerous terrain outside Guancheng was abandoned, and all the strongholds were abandoned, leaving only an isolated city.

Then this is a bit troublesome.

If Hua Xiong is determined to fight a defensive war, then the coalition forces may have only two options if they want to forcefully break the city.

Either spend some time and grind little by little, or be willing to sacrifice and just fight.

But I don’t need to think about this for the time being.

The most urgent task is to find out clearly.

Sun Jian immediately gave the order.

After the whole army rested for a while, they were ready to break camp and set off. The vanguard army advanced to Chenggao Pass to see if they could lure Hua Xiong out of the pass, and then make plans.

…

Under a rapid march.

Thirty miles of land does not take one day.

Sun Jian's vanguard army had already arrived at the city before the sun set. Chenggao Pass, which was already heavily guarded, immediately entered a state of high defense.

The two armies soon entered a confrontation stage.

The vanguard troops under the city formed their formations, eager to launch an attack.

But the people on the top of the city paid no attention to it.

They just mobilized a large number of archers, pointing their bows and crossbows downwards. Once Sun Jian really gave the order to attack the city, they would fight back.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

The posture was strong, but there was no action.

After half a while.

Seeing that Hua Xiong was motionless, Sun Jian immediately ordered the soldiers to start cursing. Several soldiers stood on wooden shelves and shouted obscenities at the top.

The swearing words used in the Han Dynasty were actually similar to those used in modern times.

Or direct relatives, such as parents and children.

Or maybe it's got some animal involved, a typical dog.

Or maybe it has something to do with women.

Combining these three, the curse words are extremely lethal, and the words are so vicious that they cannot even be recorded in a book.
