"Brother Zu Mao, it's a dead end if you go any further!"

After parting ways with Sun Jian, Zu Mao only cared about luring away the enemy troops who were chasing after him, but he didn't notice that he had chosen a dead end, and beyond that were the towering mountains, there was no path to go up, and there was no shelter nearby except for a few big trees that hugged him.

In the center, a pillar was abruptly pestle, probably struck by lightning, broken into two sections, and was burning and crackling.

"Get off your horse and hide behind these trees!"

Zu Mao let out a deep sigh, dismounted with everyone, and was ruthless, each whipping on the horse's buttocks, and the horses neighed, spread their hooves and galloped away.

Zu Mao did not hide with the crowd, but took off Sun Jian's red scarf on his head and hung it on the half-cut pillar where the pestle was standing, looking from a distance, as if someone was standing here.

"Hehe, I can only gamble!" Zu Mao finished all this, took his double knives, and quietly hid behind a big tree near the pillar, but his eyes were looking at the sound of enemy soldiers shouting in the distance.

When he arrived at the place where Sun Jian and Li Su were fighting, the battle was over, so he broke away from Hu Zhen's large army, only with his own 3,000 iron cavalry, and chased after him on the road, but he didn't know that he was just misled by Zu Mao and chased in the opposite direction.

"General, some horseshoe prints have been found on the ground, leading straight to the direction ahead!"

The soldier came to report to Hua Xiong, and as he spoke, he pointed to the dense foliage above his head.

Hua Xiong knew that because these leaves were very dense, even if it rained so much, most of the ground was still dry, and therefore the horseshoe prints were also there, which undoubtedly made it very convenient for Hua Xiong to judge.

If it was in normal times, Hua Xiong might have calmed down a little, but because he had drunk before, his mind didn't arouse, and he smiled: "There is a dead end ahead, and today is Sun Jian's death!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a group of horses galloping and neighing, galloping from a distance, but surprisingly, there was no one on it.

Huaxiong's soldiers immediately greeted and hulala surrounded these horses, this group of horses is a godsend, most of them still march on foot, of course it is better to have horses.

Hua Xiong had doubts in his heart, why were there only these horses, he clearly remembered that Sun Jian's cavalry was more than this number, could it be that Sun Jian deliberately divided his troops in order to confuse himself?

This thought had just come to mind, but the soldier reported again: "I found Sun Jian, and he hid in a clearing in the dense forest opposite!"

Hua Xiong's eyes suddenly enlarged, and he immediately ignored so many details, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Leave these horses alone, chase me!"

The 3,000 men braved the heavy rain to march to the place where the soldiers had spoken, and Hua Xiong couldn't help but point to Sun Jian's red scarf hanging on a burning pillar and scolded his own soldiers: "Who reported it just now, come out for me! Is this Sun Jian? Are the two eyeballs used to vent anger?"

At this moment, Zu Mao took advantage of Hua Xiong's unpreparedness, and suddenly led everyone to shout from the forest, and killed him, he had a pair of double knives Wu in his hands, neat and crisp, his body was like electricity, and with a sonorous sound, he stabbed into Hua Xiong's back heart!

However, what Zu Mao didn't imagine was that his long knife stabbed into an inch, and he couldn't go half a minute deeper, only feeling that his knife was not stabbing a physical body, but a hard object.

"How is this possible?" Zu Mao couldn't help but be taken aback, he watched Hua Xiong turn around in a little stunned and take a step back inexplicably.

"The knife technique and body technique are so fast, your thigh meat must be delicious!" Hua Xiong smiled gloomily, the Xuantie heavy spear in his hand seemed to have an eye, and pierced Zu Mao's thigh at an incredible speed.

"Ahh

However, Zu Mao's movements were a step slower, and because of this slow step, his entire body was hung upside down by Hua Xiong's sudden force!

"Brother Zu Mao!" Zu Mao's entourage was fighting with Hua Xiong's men and horses, and suddenly saw that Zu Mao was restrained by Hua Xiong, and everyone was stunned, in their eyes, Zu Mao has always been an invincible existence, but today he was easily taken down by this Hua Xiong, and he was desperately shouting for a while to rush over.

"Leave me alone, you guys go quickly!" Zu Mao was in mid-air with nowhere to borrow strength, and the pain was unbearable, but he still tried his best to say this.

Hua Xiong smiled: "It's better to care about yourself!"

As he spoke, Hua Xiong exerted his strength again, and the Xuantie heavy gun shook out, throwing Zu Mao's whole person out.

Zu Mao only felt a tingling pain coming from under him, when he came back to his senses, his body was difficult to move for half a minute, and his whole body did not obey the call, when he was shocked, it turned out that Hua Xiong was throwing him off, and it happened to be hanging on the top of the half-cut column, which was the key point.

Zu Mao smiled bitterly, it seems that he is really going to die here today.

After all, Zu Mao's entourage was not really a veteran of the battlefield, and because Zu Mao was controlled, they were even more chaotic one by one, and after a while, they all screamed and died under the weapons of Huaxiong soldiers.

Hua Xiong laughed, staggered to Zu Mao, poked Zu Mao's throat with a gun, and asked sharply: "My temper is not very good, tell me which direction Sun Jian ran away!

Zu Mao also smiled and said to Hua Xiong: "I'm too injured to speak loudly, you come closer, I'll tell you!"

Hua Xiong thought that Zu Mao was really afraid, so he leaned over and said, "You say, I'll listen--ah!"

The latter word Hua Xiong simply yelled, he covered his ears, there was already a blood red, when he looked at Zu Mao again, he saw this guy biting half of his bloody ear in his mouth, and his eyes were full of smiles:

"Hehe, dog thief, how can my Zu Mao be a person with two hearts? I hate to kill you with my own hands, eat your flesh and drink your blood raw!"

Zu Mao said as he simply swallowed Hua Xiong's half of his ear into his mouth and chewed it in a big bite, eating it with a mouth full of blood, tilting his neck and swallowing it.

Hua Xiong was naturally furious, raised his hand and stabbed Zu Mao in the heart with a shot, and in an instant, Zu Mao stopped breathing, but his eyes were wide open.

"It's all said that I have a bad temper, and you guy deliberately provokes me, hum!" Hua Xiong pulled back the Xuantie heavy spear and said sharply to everyone, "I've been delayed too much time by this kid, go, follow me and continue to pursue Sun Jian!"

"No!"

At this time, in Hu Zhen's camp, Li Ru, who was in charge of the garrison, received Li Su, who was defeated by Sun Jian, back to the camp, and comforted: "Why didn't the general listen to my advice, I asked the general to accept it when he saw it, Sun Jian is a veteran who has experienced many battles, and a simple ambush strategy can't help him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get out safely under the siege and interception of the great governor and several governors!"

Li Su was unhappy in his heart: "Grandma's, my more than 1,000 characters have been destroyed in the hands of Sun Jian, I also had a chance to win, but suddenly an Zu Mao came out, ruining my good deeds, it is really infuriating!"

Li Ru smiled, retreated from others, and said in a low voice: "The general doesn't have to be angry, this is actually a good thing!"

"Good thing?" Li Su looked at Li Ru inexplicably, not knowing what medicine he was selling in his gourd, "What does Mr. mean by this?"

Li Ru shook his head: "It's too early to say a little now, the general just waits with me to see what happens, I just say one thing, the wine that Hua Xiong just drank was drugged, and the dosage is not a few, but I haven't found out who did it!"

Li Su was taken aback: "Wasn't that wine given to General Huaxiong by the lord?"

Li Ru didn't let him continue, but said mysteriously: "The general has thought of it, not to mention others, now I understand that it is not Fan Chou who is regarded as an outcast by Dong Gong, but Hua Xiong, and even does not hesitate to take these tens of thousands of horses under the protection of Hu Zhen, otherwise how can it be explained that until now, whether it is Xu Rong or Lu Bu Niufu or even the lord has not sent a single soldier to support Hu Zhen and Huaxiong Governor? You know, this is the best time to eliminate Gao Yi!"

Li Su was not a fool, and immediately understood: "Sir is saying that the lord does not really want to destroy Gao Yi, but to use Gao Yi's hand to get rid of the Great Governor Hu Zhen and the Governor of Huaxiong? This, how is this possible? Isn't this self-destruction of the Great Wall?"

Li Ru shook his head disappreciatively: "Indeed, if Dong Gong treats Gao Yi as an enemy who does not share the sky, it does make sense to explain it like this, but what if Dong Gong wants to accept Gao Yi and Gao Jiajun for his own use?"

Li Su gasped: "Why does the lord think like this?"

"The point of the matter is not what the Dong Guild thinks, but that the Dong Gong has already done this!" Li Ru smiled slightly, "Have you forgotten the words that the general lobbied General Lu Bu?" Dong Gong is an extraordinary person, he may find that he is slowly being overturned by the commander, so he is a counselor, and he is courting to supplement his control ability, the general may wish to listen to my advice, that is, to break away from the control of the commander with General Lu Bu, otherwise if this continues, Dong Gong will eventually treat the general and General Lu Bu the same way he treats the Great Governor Hu Zhen and the Governor of Huaxiong today, right?"

When Li Su heard this, he was even more in a cold sweat, and sure enough, Li Ru was right, his defeat to Sun Jian this time was still a good thing.

After that, a sergeant outside the tent hurriedly entered, and said to Li Su and Li Ru in the tent: "General Qiyu and the army, five miles east of the camp found an unknown team of hundreds of people, the leading general has a long beard with a red face, I don't know where it is, the villain has come to report to the general and the army, do you send troops to attack?"

Li Su and Li Ru glanced at each other and said meaningfully: "Since there are only a few hundred people, it is very likely that they are Gao Yi's suspicious soldiers, we should ignore it, it is better to follow the orders of the Great Governor and guard the camp tightly!"
