Xingyang, it is the early spring season, and everything recovers.

He had just defeated Cao Cao's 5,000 men and horses from the shore of Bianshui and returned victorious, but he failed to leave Cao Cao behind, which made Xu Rong feel regretful.

"General, there is a messenger sent by Guangluxun to ask for a meeting!" When Xu Rong was inspecting the defense and grain and grass supplies, he saw a relative coming in a hurry and bowed to Xu Rong.

"Guangluxun? Chen Mo? Xu Rong was a little surprised and said, "Why did he come?" ”

He didn't seem to have much friendship with this Guangluxun, but after thinking about it, Xu Rong still nodded and said, "Let him in." ”

Although he didn't have any friendship, Chen Mo was kind to people most of the time in Luoyang, and had a good relationship with Lu Bu, Hua Xiong and others, although he didn't know why the other party's envoy came here, but he still had to see him.

After a while, a dusty soldier walked in quickly, saw Xu Rong, bowed down and bowed: "See the general!" ”

"He's a good soldier." Xu Rong looked at this soldier, nodded and smiled: "Guangluxun asked you to come here, what's the matter?" ”

"Back to the general, my general is in the Songshan area." The soldier Chen Mo was ordered to go to Yingchuan to investigate, but he was almost stopped, and Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to arrest Chen Mo and said again: "Now my general is suspicious, and he lured that Sun Jian to come in the direction of Xingyang, and I want to ask the general to send troops to attack Sun Jian and destroy his sharp spirit!" ”

"I don't want Guangluxun to be young, but he has the style of a general." Xu Rong listened approvingly, but what he appreciated more in his heart was Chen Mo's anger, Yuan Shu sent troops to rob, when there were only fifty people around ordinary people, it was a great luck to be able to escape a life, Chen Mo calmly avoided the pursuit of the other party, and even thought about biting the other party, which may seem too angry to others, but it is indeed a matter of course in the eyes of soldiers like Xu Rong.

Especially this opponent is Sun Jian, who is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, but he has no fear, and Xu Rong is quite appreciative.

"Tell your general, I will repel Sun Jian, as for whether he can be completely destroyed, it depends on your general's ability." Xu Rong said with a smile.

He is confident that he will defeat Sun Jian, but if the other party wants to escape, this Central Plains land, a horse and a flat river, Xu Rong is no matter how powerful he is, he can't completely kill the other party, but he can't here, if Sun Jian wants to go back, he will definitely have to go to the Songshan area, but Chen Mo has a chance.

"Whoa!" The soldier bowed and said: "Let's go, in addition, Sun Jian chased all the way here, and the lowly rode faster, but Sun Jian was only a day's journey away from here at most, and his troops were about 1,000 people, and I hope the general will prepare early." ”

"Go ahead." Xu Rong nodded, indicating that he knew.

"General, do I really want to send troops?" After the soldier left, a captain looked at Xu Rong and said, "Then the princes' coalition army is close to the left, if the other party takes advantage of the weakness to attack ......."

"Heh~" When Xu Rong heard this, he sneered disdainfully: "If they have such courage, it will not be just Cao Cao who was defeated by me the day before yesterday, and when they decide to attack Xingyang, Sun Jian's heads may be sent to Luoyang!" ”

Since the princes formed an alliance in the sour jujube, there is no sense of enterprising, from the news heard from the careful investigation, the other party is drinking and having fun all day long in the sour jujube area, and the camp is quite scattered, if it is not for the lack of troops in his hands, and the river is blocked, Xu Rong really has the intention to kill and capture a few princes.

"Pass my military order, order 3,000 soldiers and horses to go with me!" Xu Rong hung his sword on his waist and said loudly.

"Whoa!"

……

Outside the city of Xingyang, it is still the bank of the Bianshui.

"Huh~" Sun Jian looked at the messy battlefield in front of him and reined in his war horse.

"Lord!" Huang Gai rode his horse and bowed in front of Sun Jian: "It depends on the situation, it was the Xiliang army and our army that had a battle here, and it seems that our army was defeated. ”

Sun Jian nodded and said, "This is close to Xingyang, how can there only be this battlefield?" The alliance leader didn't move his troops? ”

Where did the generals know whether Yuan Shao's side had moved troops, but along the way, it was the first time they had seen traces of the two sides exchanging troops, and it seemed that there were indeed no troops on the sour date.

"Lord, this place is close to Xingyang, then Chen Mo is afraid that he has already fled back to Xingyang, it is useless for me to chase after him, it is better to withdraw to Luyang as soon as possible and return to Yuan Gong?" Zu Mao stepped forward and bowed to Sun Jian.

"That's it!" Sun Jian sighed, looked at the corpses around him and said, "Let people bury these corpses on the spot, after all, they are our soldiers, don't let them expose the corpses in the wilderness like this." ”

Although I don't know why Yuan Shu is so obsessed with catching Chen Mo, but judging from the current situation, it is obviously impossible, no matter how confident Sun Jian is, it is impossible to kill people in Xingyang City with these more than 1,000 people, or go back and explain to Yuan Shu, and persuade Yuan Shu to directly break through Yique Pass and enter Luoyang.

Just one Chen Mo, how can it be important to break through Luoyang?

"Whoa!" Everyone agreed, and began to dig a pit on the bank of the river to bury the soldiers.

"Report!" Not long after, the scout who was in charge of guarding outside suddenly came in a hurry to report, and saluted Sun Jian: "Lord, a large number of Xiliang soldiers and horses have appeared in the direction of Xingyang, and they are coming this way. ”

"Oh?" When Sun Jian heard this, he was not surprised and rejoiced: "How many people are there?" ”

"About 2,000 people!" The scout was uncertain.

A thousand dozen two thousand?

Sun Jian thought about it in his heart and said: "Inform all the soldiers and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

He couldn't attack Xingyang City, but if the other party came out of the city to fight, even if there were many people, Sun Jian was not afraid at all.

"Lord, it must be the reinforcements that Chen Mo invited after returning to the city!" Huang Gai smiled on the side, a group of soldiers followed Sun Jian from birth to death for many years, this kind of drama of winning more with less, they often do it, so even if they know that there are many people on the other side, as long as they dare to go out of the city, they dare to fight.

"The thief is ignorant, and he has never heard of the name of the Jiangdong Tiger!" Zu Mao smiled.

"Don't underestimate the enemy, Chen Mo is young, but his mind is quite meticulous, and he has also done it to beg thieves." Sun Jian turned over and said: "But in this war, the opponents are not all yellow turban thieves, and today General Ben will teach him to fight!" ”

The generals laughed when they heard this, no wonder they despised Chen Mo, after all, he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, even if he had some real talents and learned and won two battles, but it was just a crusade against the Yellow Turban Thieves, the real battlefield, I am afraid I have never seen it, and these of them are almost all veterans who have fought in the south and the north, and have been killed again and again.

Everyone assembled to fight, and after a while, Xu Rong led 3,000 soldiers and horses to kill.

There were more than expected, but Sun Jian was not afraid, seeing the other party's flag appear, he waved his hand, and the archers shot out from both wings like a pair of wings, and shot a rain of arrows at the enemy's formation, and at the same time, Sun Jian had already launched a charge with his men and horses.

"What a tiger!" Before Xu Rong could gain a firm foothold, he was stopped by a rain of arrows from the other party, seeing that Sun Jian had already launched a momentum, looking at the momentum, he couldn't help but secretly praise Sun Jian's bravery.

However, the Xiliang army has been fighting for many years, but it has never been afraid of anyone, and at the moment it is hedging under the command of Xu Rong, and at the same time it has pointed out two teams of 1,000 people, outflanked from both wings, and prepared to encircle Sun Jian's department.

As soon as the two sides fought, Sun Jian found that something was wrong, this team was obviously also elite, and they did not fall behind in the slightest fight, and the commander of the other party was not a reckless man, he had already taken advantage of the advantage of his strength and began to encircle himself.

"Breakout!" After discovering that something was wrong, Sun Jian also lost the mind to continue to fight with the other party, the elite of the same level, Sun Jian did not have the confidence to win more with less, so he immediately ordered someone to prepare to break through from the flank.

Xu Rong naturally saw Sun Jian's intentions, and constantly ordered the standard-bearer to change orders, shrinking his wings, and wanting to swallow Sun Jian's team completely.

Sun Jian found that every time he changed the direction of the breakthrough, the other party could always quickly make changes to deal with, making it difficult for him to break through, and he hated in his heart, this time he met the opponent, the opponent's ability was not under him, but the strength was three times his own, and he should not have rushed to fight with the other party earlier.

It's just that it's too late to say anything at this time, and the most important thing at the moment is to break through.

The two sides are entangled and fighting on the bank of Bianshui, although Xu Rong's victory has been decided, but it is quite difficult to leave Sun Jian completely, and when the fight is in the afternoon, the loss of the Xiliang army is getting bigger and bigger, and if it goes on like this, even if he can swallow Sun Jian's army, he will suffer heavy losses.

After loosening a little at the moment, allowing Sun Jian to successfully break through, he ordered the cavalry to chase after him, and Xu Rong led the army to cover and kill behind.

Sun Jian knew that Xu Rong wanted to kill and injure his soldiers more effectively, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only run wild with his life in the army, but the manpower around him was decreasing.

"Fight with them!" Seeing that the other party was in hot pursuit, Sun Jian fought in the south and the north, when was he chased and killed like this, he was ruthless in his heart, and he wanted to turn around and fight with the other party.

Zu Mao and Huang Gai on the side hurriedly stopped Sun Jian and said: "Lord, don't turn around and fight again at this moment, our army's morale has been lost, and it will be a dead end!" ”

Although Sun Jian's command is all elite, but more than half of the losses have already begun, and there are not many people who are still around, and if they fight again at this moment, these people may not want to, the defeat is decided, and they can only flee for their lives at this time. 、

"Then let these Xiliang thieves chase after them?" Sun Jian glared and said, when did he suffer such humiliation in his life?

"Lord, offended!" Zu Mao watched the cavalry in the rear cover up again, took off the red curtain on Sun Jian's head, tied it to his head, and said: "The last general led the troops to lead away the pursuing soldiers, and the public protected the lord and escaped!" ”、

"Daiei, how can I let you get in danger?" Sun Jian frowned.

"Don't worry, the thief army may not kill me!" Zu Mao laughed loudly, and after speaking, without waiting for Sun Jian to reply, he had already galloped away in another direction with a group of men and horses.

"Lord, let's go!" Seeing that Sun Jian refused to leave, Huang Gai hurriedly kicked Sun Jian's war horse, and then rode his horse and galloped away with the remaining dozen or so guards, and soon disappeared into the night.
