July 22, noon.

Imin Pass.

Sun Jian knelt at the head of the main hall, his eyes flickered, looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, which were all the information collected by the scouts in the past few days, he looked very carefully: "The herdsmen have already divided into three routes?" ”

"Exactly!"

Cheng Pu nodded and said: "The main force of soldiers and horses, about fifty or sixty thousand, went ashore from Yimin Pass, and after sweeping my Yimin Pass, they went south along the road, and now they are stationed in Xincheng County to rest, and some spies also found that the other two herdsmen continue to continue south along the river!" ”

"Demou, where do you think the Mu thief is now?"

Sun Jian asked.

"The main force went ashore, it is to attract attention, I am afraid that the Mu thief has gone south down the river, as long as he follows the river and crosses the Lu family, he can reach the land of Shangluo, enter Wuguan along the road, enter Nanyang along Wuguan, just like Nanyang, enter Jiaolong into the sea, it is difficult to pursue!"

Cheng Pu said in a deep voice.

"Now if you want to collect ships and chase them from Luoshui, it's too late, I'm afraid you can only chase along the road to the south!" Sun Jian sighed: "Xincheng County is what we must overcome!" ”

"But my lord, we don't have enough troops!"

Cheng Pu frowned and persuaded softly: "It's better to wait a little longer, wait for the Kwantung coalition forces to come and converge!" ”

"They're coming, they're coming!"

Sun Jian sneered: "The fire of the Mu thief, it is not the Yang City that burned, it is the loyalty of the princes to the Han Dynasty, under the raging fire, the Han family is already the trend of the remnant sun, and the heroes are about to rise together, who is willing to continue to spend their troops on the already infamous Mu thief?" ”

The Mu family is a thief.

Recognized by the world.

Now that the strength is lost, only the remnants of the army remain, even Mu Shan died in Luoyang City, Mu Long Tu is a thief, even if he escapes, it is too difficult to turn over in this life.

Therefore, the princes of the world, at this moment, no longer take Mujing seriously.

"Lord, in fact, we should have prepared early!" Cheng Pu took half a step back, arched his hand, and said faintly.

"Someone knows!"

Sun Jian nodded, but there was a touch of persistence in his eyes: "But Demou, I, Sun Jian, was born for Hanchen, and I have fought for the Han family for most of my life, Ping Yellow Turban, Xiliang, and Dingchangsha, I have paid too much to the Han family, and the Han family has also given me enough honor, you let me do my last heart to the Han family!" ”

When Cheng Pu heard this, he was silent.

I don't advise anymore.

The reason why the lord is the lord is because the lord has the courage to make decisions, and they all have a quality, whether right or wrong, they will cling to their own decisions, this time it is a responsible lord, indecisive, unworthy of the lord.

"Where is Ji Ling?"

"He is incorporating the Yuzhou Army!" Cheng Pudao.

"Kong Ling has no opinion?"

"Kong Ling, this person, is a Confucian scholar, who talks about high theories, and boasts about his life!" Cheng Pu sneered: "His admiration for the clan of the Yuan clan of the fourth and third princes, but Zhao Sun and Moon, the general wants to take Yuzhou, how dare he not give it away!" ”

"Yuan Highway is small and sparse, empty and ambitious, the city government is treacherous, lacks dignified integrity, and is not a male talent!"

Sun Jian squinted: "I also look away, it's just that it's difficult to ride a tiger, and you can't fall into fame, now you can only continue, temporarily rely on the name of the Yuan family, and also rely on the growth of our Jiangdong army, after all, the Yuan family has enough grain and grass and abundant financial resources!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I have won a lot of elite soldiers in Yuzhou to fill my Jiangdong Army, even if Ji Ling takes down all the Yuzhou Army, it will be nothing more than that!" Cheng Pu said with a sneer.

When the Jiangdong army was defeated, he hit the idea on the Yuzhou army, the Yuzhou army was the counties of Yuzhou gathered soldiers and horses, the commanders were loose, and they were broken one by one, and most of the elite had been under the command of the Jiangdong army.

"Don't overdo it!" Sun Jian said in a deep voice: "I still have to get by on face, after all, Yuan Highway doesn't live up to me, I can't bear him!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will have a dignified statement for them!"

Cheng Pu nodded.

"Report!"

A young man rushed in: "Father, the scout cavalry has found that a force is approaching in the northeast!" ”

"Northeast?"

Sun Jian stood up suddenly: "Could it be a coalition soldier!" ”

In the north-east, it could not be enemy forces, only allies.

"It's possible!"

Cheng Pu nodded: "Those who are loyal to the Han family in the world are not the only ones!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Sun Jian laughed: "I am not alone!" ”

He walked out and said, "Called Ji Ling, let's go out of the city to welcome guests!" ”

……

Sun Jian and Cao Cao joined forces, as well as the Runan Army under Yuan Shu, at this moment, there were as many as 50,000 troops in Yimin Pass, and if this force was united, it would not be empty talk if they wanted to pursue south.

"General Sun!"

"General Cao!"

Sun Jian and Cao Cao have several relationships, but this is the first time that the two sides have cooperated.

But they have long been known for each other, and they still mean to cherish each other.

What Sun Jian admires is that Cao Cao dared to brave the sky, and assassinated Mushan on the spot when Mushan was at his most powerful.

And Cao Cao, he also admired Sun Jian's courage and vanguard, among the coalition army, there were many princes, and he could fight without fear of death in this matter, but Sun Wentai was also.

"Who is this?"

After the two exchanged pleasantries, looking at a fierce general next to Sun Jian, Cao Cao squinted slightly, although he is not a top martial artist, but he still has the ability to see people, this general is by no means simple, dare to stand side by side with Sun Jian, and his strength and status are not under Sun Jian.

"In Xia Jiling!"

Ji Ling took a step forward and said indifferently.

"General Ji is the favorite general of the later general, commanding 15,000 soldiers of the Runan Army!" Sun Jian said with a smile.

He is now subservient to Yuan Shu.

and Ji Ling are colleagues.

It's just that he is different from Ji Ling, the soldiers and horses he commands are all the main force of his Jiangdong Army, and he doesn't listen to the announcement.

"It turned out to be General Ji Ling, Cao Mou is polite!"

Cao Cao bowed.

The princes of the world, more or less, were all affected by the Kwantung War and lost their troops, even if it was him, he lost no less than 3,000 soldiers, Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and the Jizhou army was the main force, and it was even more lost, but Yuan Shu's troops were not damaged.

Yuan Shu's forces are pressed on Runan and Nanyang, and he also has a big reason, conquering Nanyang is equivalent to cutting off the back road of the herdsmen, and the allied princes don't say much, and even Sun Jian is under his door and fights for him, and the main force of the Jiangdong Army is all pressed on the front line, which makes the coalition princes have nothing to say.

There is also Yuan Shu in the coalition army, managing logistics, needless to say how much he is greedy, what horses, grain and grass, I don't know how many moved back to Runan.

After this battle, who is most likely to become the first prince in the world is probably Yuan Shu.

"General Cao personally led the army to come, he must be the vanguard, I don't know when the main force of the coalition army will arrive?" Sun Jian asked.

"This ......"

When Cao Cao heard this, he was silent for a while, and said: "In the first battle of Luoyang, the main force of the coalition army suffered heavy casualties, and they need to rest, I am afraid that they did not come so quickly, but the thieves of the Mu clan are a great disaster for the country, we must drag them down, and we must not let them leave Guanzhong, and when my main force arrives, we can exterminate them!" ”

Cao Cao's words are not understood by others, Sun Jian does not know, but Sun Jian understands.

The coalition forces had no intention of pursuing at all.

To say that the casualties need to be rested, Cao Cao also needs to rest, but Cao Cao came, and the rest of the princes were gone, and even the alliance leader, Yuan Shao, did not say a word, which made Sun Jian feel a little cold.

Ji Ling also understood, he squinted, and began to think in his heart.

However, the military order of the lord Yuan Shu did not arrive, and he would not retreat rashly.

Each thought about it, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little cold.

Cao Cao shifted the topic: "General Sun, I don't know where the thief army is now?" ”

"It's in the new city!"

Sun Jian sighed, cheered up, and said, "From here, go south to the new city, you can get there in one day!" ”

"They didn't continue south?"

"It's strange that they're encamped in the new city!"

Sun Jian said in a deep voice.

"Could it be that they are going to fight us in the new city?" Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a cold light: "I understand, it may not be the main force in Xincheng, but in order to cover the main force going south, they must intercept in Xincheng!" ”

"So the battle of the new city is unavoidable!"

Sun Jian nodded, he thought so too.

"The terrain of the new city is narrow, it is not easy to attack and difficult to defend, but the troops cannot be expanded, it will take time to overcome, if we want to break the new city, we have to cut another shortcut, I have a proposal!"

"I heard that General Cao is good at martial arts, please speak clearly!"

"The soldiers are divided into two routes, all the way to attack the new city, all the way to Liang County, from Liang County, front and back!"

"What if the Mu thief doesn't go south to Nanyang, but goes east to Yingchuan?"

Sun Jian looked at the topographic map and said in a deep voice: "We divide our troops into Liang County, wouldn't we give him the opportunity to enter Yingchuan!" ”

"If he enters Yingchuan, he will undoubtedly kill himself!"

Cao Cao smiled indifferently, glanced at Ji Ling with slanted eyes, and said with a sneer: "Even the Hou General will not spare him!" ”

"Humph!"

Ji Ling snorted coldly, and his voice was decisive: "My Runan Army will abide by the border, if he dares to step into Yingchuan for half a step, he will be spattered with blood for three steps!" “

Yuzhou has been booked by Yuan Shu.

Whoever dares to take Yuzhou will be a never-ending war.

"Then it's decided!"

Sun Jian nodded: "It's getting late today, let's send troops together tomorrow, how about it!" ”

"Good!"

Cao Cao and Ji Ling agreed.

Ji Ling returned to the barracks first and integrated the forces of the Runan Army and the Yuzhou Army.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian led their horses to the outside of the city, in the pass, Ji Ling camped, and outside the pass was the camp of the Jiangdong Army and the Cao Family Army, the two led the horses in front, and the guards behind were three steps away.

"General Cao knew that he couldn't do it, and Sun admired it to the extreme!" Sun Jian's words were heartfelt.

Knowing that the coalition forces would not send troops, Cao Cao still chased after him, and this alone was enough to make Sun Jian admire Cao Cao, which was a great courage.

"I'm stupid!"

Cao Cao laughed at himself: "I know that the water is difficult to recover, and the Han family is hopeless, but I always want to give it a try in my heart, maybe there is still a chance!" ”

After this battle, the Han Dynasty will be in danger of overthrowing.

He knew it.

I still want to give it a try, can I turn the tide.

This life is Hanchen, it is his principle.

Hanchen will fight for the Han family.

"I admire General Sun!" Cao Cao glanced at Sun Jian: "Since the defeat of the Jiangdong Army in the past, I thought that General Sun's blood was cold, but I never thought that the general was still enthusiastic and loyal!" ”

When attacking Luoyang City, the Jiangdong Army stopped, which somewhat made Cao Cao doubt the current mentality of the Jiangdong Army.

But when he saw Sun Jian, he denied his suspicions.

This is a loyal servant.

"I've wavered!"

Sun Jian's tiger eyes crossed a complicated light: "But when I see the raging fire burning the sun, I always feel that I have to do something, the Han family may not be able to do anything, but I want to do my last loyalty for the Han family!" “

His last loyalty, that is, he could not let the Mu thief who burned the Han Dynasty leave Guanzhong.
