When Huaxiong was in danger at Sun Jian's hands, the soldiers of the Xiliang army were defeated and retreated by Sun Jian's soldiers with one enemy and three enemies, and even Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang failed to stop the decline of their own army.

Seeing that the Xiliang soldiers were like crazy, Cheng Pu immediately shouted at Sun Jian: "Lord, the Xiliang soldiers are crazy, please order a retreat quickly, and if we continue to fight, we will suffer heavy losses!" ”

At this time, Sun Jian fell into a state of madness due to the death of his henchman Zu Mao, so he didn't pay attention to Cheng Pu's shouts at all.

After a while, seeing that his army was about to win first and then lose, Cheng Pu immediately joined Huang Gai and Han Dang, and said to them: "Gongfu, Yigong, the lord has lost his mind because of Darong's death, and we must make a decision for the lord." ”

Huang Gai and Han Dang agreed without hesitation after hearing this, because they also saw the decline of their own army.

Immediately, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang immediately ordered a retreat.

After receiving the military order to retreat, Sun Jian's troops, who had fallen into disadvantage, immediately evacuated.

At the same time, Huang Gai and Han Dang immediately rushed towards Sun Jian's position.

When Hua Xiong saw that his subordinates had forced Sun Jian's troops to retreat, he immediately laughed and said, "Sun Wentai, you and the rest of the troops have all withdrawn, do you still want to stay?" ”

After hearing Hua Xiong's shout, Sun Jian finally regained his senses.

Immediately following, Sun Jian immediately glanced around.

When he found out that his subordinates were indeed withdrawing, he immediately became angry and shouted, "Who gave the military order? ”

At this time, Huang Gai and Han Dang finally approached Sun Jian.

Hearing Sun Jian's shouting, Huang Gai immediately responded: "Lord, it is General Cheng, General Han and I jointly gave the order, the Xiliang soldiers are now like crazy, our soldiers have begun to fight, and if we don't evacuate, even if our army wins, it will be a miserable victory, and please evacuate with us as soon as possible." ”

Hua Xiong, who was opposite Sun Jian, heard that Sun Jian's subordinates were persuading Sun Jian to evacuate, and he immediately laughed and said, "Sun Wentai, your subordinates are all persuading you to retreat, do you want to continue to fight with me?" ”

Sun Jian saw that Hua Xiong was very arrogant, and this time he finally held back his anger and replied: "Hua Xiong, don't be too happy, I will take your head to avenge Da Rong." ”

"Justice, righteousness, we withdraw."

Huang Gai and Han immediately followed Sun Jian and withdrew after receiving the order.

During the evacuation, Sun Jian took Zu Mao's body with him.

And when Hua Xiong saw Sun Jian and the others withdrawing, he did not take the initiative to pursue, because after a series of battles, he was already at the end of his crossbow.

With the withdrawal of Sun Jian's troops, Hua Xiong also immediately ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

Hearing the sound of gold, the Xiliang soldiers also began to slowly retreat into Yique Pass.

Back in the gate, Hua Xiong counted the number of people and found that only about 2,000 people had survived, and most of them were injured.

Seeing this tragic image, Hua Xiong said to himself helplessly: "Of the more than 10,000 people, only more than 2,000 are still wounded, it is difficult for such a force to hold Yique Pass, it seems that I must give up Yique Pass and retreat to Liang County to ask for help." ”

Immediately, Hua Xiong immediately abandoned Yique Pass with his whole army and evacuated to Liangxian County behind Yique Pass overnight.

At the same time, after Sun Jian withdrew to the camp with Huang Gai and Han Dang, he saw that all his subordinates were resting.

After a few glances, Sun Jian immediately returned to his handsome tent.

Han Dang and Huang Gai followed.

When Sun Jian and the others entered the big tent, they saw Cheng Pu kneeling towards the main seat with his shirt naked and carrying a thorn on his back.

Seeing this, Sun Jian immediately came to Cheng Pu and said, "Demou, what are you doing?" ”

Cheng Pu immediately replied: "My lord, the last general has made an initiative to order the withdrawal of troops privately, and he has already violated military law, and I hope that the lord will make an example of him." ”

Hearing Cheng Pu say this, Huang Gai and Han Dang also knelt down and pleaded guilty to Sun Jian.

Seeing that the three henchmen around him all took the initiative to ask for guilt, Sun Jian immediately took off the thorns on Cheng Pu's body, and helped Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang one by one.

Immediately after, Sun Jian replied: "Virtuous, public, righteous, the three of you ordered very correctly, it was I who was lost by the death of Darong, you are not only innocent but meritorious, if I punish you, wouldn't it seem that my Sun Jian's reward and punishment are unknown?" ”

Seeing Sun Jian say this, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang immediately glanced at each other.

At this time, Sun Jian also returned to the main seat and sat down, and said to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang: "Wait and sit down!" ”

After Cheng Pu and the three of them got the order, they hesitated for a moment and sat down.

Immediately after, Sun Jian continued: "Demou, in today's battle, what are the casualties of our department? ”

"Back to the lord, we won a great victory when we ambushed the Xiliang army, and we only lost about 1,000 people and killed about 3,000 Xiliang troops, but in the last battle, the Xiliang soldiers were like crazy, and our casualties rose instantly, just for a short while, our casualties were close to 5,000 people, which is equivalent to more than half of our troops."

"What? The Xiliang Army has obviously been defeated, why are our losses still so serious? ”

"Lord, after being ambushed by me for the second time, the soldiers of Xiliang were already completely demoralized, but Hua Xiong suddenly shouted something, these Xiliang soldiers began to fight with our soldiers at the end of their lives, and none of their people surrendered until they died in battle, so the casualties of our department will soar instantly, if we continue to fight, I am afraid that the eight thousand soldiers we brought will all be injured."

"Demou, in your opinion, what do you think is the reason for the sudden increase in the combat power of the Xiliang Army?"

"My lord, the last general is dull and has not yet understood the principle."

"It seems that the Xiliang Army is really not to be underestimated, today everyone repairs for one night, and tomorrow we will rush to Yique Pass to inquire about the situation."

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang immediately withdrew from the big tent after receiving the order.

It wasn't until the three of them retreated that Sun Jian began to cry bitterly, because his confidant loved Zu Mao's death and deeply pierced his heart.

Early the next morning.

After Sun Jian found a place for Zu Mao to be buried, he immediately led his troops towards Yique Pass.

When he arrived at Yique Pass, Sun Jian found that there were few people on Yique Pass.

Seeing this anomaly, Sun Jian immediately ordered Huang Gai to send troops to test it, but as soon as the army attacked the city, the defenders in the city opened the city and surrendered, because there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the city, and they were unable to meet Sun Jian at all.

After Sun Jianbing captured Yique Pass bloodlessly, he immediately convened Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang to discuss the matter.

When the three of them arrived, Sun Jian immediately said: "This Huaxiong dog thief escaped really fast, and he actually gave up Yique Pass, causing me to avenge Darong The day has been postponed." ”

Cheng Pu immediately answered: "Lord, what should I do next?" ”

"Demou, you lead a thousand soldiers to guard Yique Pass, and protect our grain road, and I will take Gongfu and Yigong to pursue Huaxiong."

"The last general obeys!"

Immediately following, Sun Jian immediately asked Huang Gai and Han Dang to start deploying troops.

After gathering 4,000 soldiers, Sun Jian immediately led his troops out of Yique Pass and began to pursue Huaxiong.
