It's quiet at night!

The majestic and domineering Tiger Prison stands here, he is connected to Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, which is a natural danger of its own, and shocks the charm of "everything".

"Hmph~"

Somewhere outside the gate, there was a soft snort, followed by a whisper—

"Bishui Pass has been an important place for soldiers since ancient times, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Chu and Han dynasties, they all occupy a very important position, and it is indeed a little difficult to break through!"

As soon as the voice was lowered, a voice sounded: "Don't worry, my lord, even if you can't break through the Tiger Prison Pass (that is, Bishui Pass, the two are the same Xiongguan) in one fell swoop tonight, it can also have a great impact on the Dong thief army guarding the pass." ”

The previous voice did not sound again, as if acquiescence, as if it was a silent rebuttal.

Soon after the voice was low, a sparse sound sounded, as if a large herd of wild beasts were marching.

"There is no moon tonight, God really help me!"

When these words fell, the sparse and sparse voice immediately increased and became denser.

"Enemy Attack~"

Soon after, a terrible roar rang out from the tiger prison.

The tenacious and powerful resistance made the sudden night attack die, and the sad order sounded under the night sky - "Not good, the enemy is prepared, everyone retreat~"

"Retreat~"

The reason why the raid is a raid is because of its suddenness, since the suddenness is lost, the meaning of the raid is lost, and Sun Jian's order is very timely and correct.

An hour later, Sun Jian returned to the camp, counted the number of people, and learned that only more than 100 people had been lost, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly said: Fortunately, he retreated in time!

Then, Sun Jian's heart was full of doubts: Why did Dong Thief take precautions?

Subsequently, Sun Jian summoned his three confidants to express his doubts.

Huang Gai replied first: "This time, Dong Thief has already received the news, and two days ago, we almost broke through under the leadership of the lord, and it is normal for him to be vigilant. ”

Uh, typical afterthought?

Sun Jian paused, then nodded, and looked at Zu Mao and Han Dang again.

Compared with Huang Gai and Zu Mao, Han Dang has been under Sun Jian's command for a very short time, and he has the least qualifications, so he looked at Zu Mao. Zu Mao, the word Darong, a native of Fuchun, is a fellow villager of Sun Jian, and he did not shirk when he saw this, and said his opinion loudly: "Mao thinks that what the public reply said is reasonable, but two days have passed, did Dong Thief send reinforcements again?" ”

"Huh?" Sun Jian and the three of them all looked stunned, recalling the previous night attack, and it seemed that it was really possible that reinforcements had arrived.

"I'm in trouble!"

Sun Jian's heart sank, and he said secretly: Should I ask for reinforcements?

As soon as this thought arose, Sun Jian pressed him down. It's just that the Tiger Prison Pass is known as the world's first male pass, and it is nothing more than unexpected to be able to kill yesterday and tonight. Now that the other party has increased its vigilance, I am afraid it will be difficult.

"My lord, there is not enough food and grass in the camp, so I sent people to urge in the evening, but I have not received any news now." Huang Gai was extremely cunning, and seeing that Sun Jian was silent, he immediately guessed the reason and immediately changed the topic.

"What? Not enough food and grass? Send someone to urge you immediately! Sun Jian's face was straight, and he said with righteousness, "If you send someone to urge you again, you must bring back the grain and grass as soon as possible, otherwise the sergeants will not have enough to eat, how can they fight?" ”

Then the people dispersed, and each of them rested.

And Xu Rong, who was hundreds of miles behind Sun Jian, also received the news of Sun Jian's failure in the night attack, and then chatted with Huang Zhong about the reason for the failure, he also thought that it was because of the increase in reinforcements, but what was a little more was that he felt that either Dong Zhuo's chief strategist Li Ru had explained before leaving, or he had sent staff and the like to accompany him.

At the end, Huang Zhong asked, "Have you notified Gongzi of this matter?" ”

Xu Rong was silent for a long time, shook his head, and said, "It's not appropriate!" ”

"This alliance, since it is in the name of Zigang, it means that Gongzi has no intention of taking the lead, if we rashly show that we are very close to him, it may make Gongzi, and even the master's plan burned."

After a pause, Xu Rong glanced at Huang Zhong and said, "Besides, with Zigang's talent, he may get the news one step ahead of us, so don't worry at all." ”

Huang Zhong nodded at this time.

Yuan Shao and others marched slowly every day, clearing the officials who had defected to Dong Zhuo and stabilizing the rear. For a while, not much attention was paid to Sun Jian, and no one noticed Sun Jian's "shortage" of grain and grass. Even Xu Rong and Zhang Hong are the same.

Yuan Shu, the governor of grain and grass, knew about it, but he was angry that Sun Jian did not support him when he was fighting for the position of alliance leader before, so he secretly instructed his subordinates to delay time.

The next day, Sun Jian was furious because breakfast was too thin, and even ordered to kill the grain and grass officials, but was blocked by his henchmen Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao.

Sun Jian led the army to tackle the key problems again, and Hu Zhen, the deputy general of Huaxiong, led 5,000 troops out of the pass to meet the battle. The yellow cover Pegasus made the whip and took the Hu Zhen directly. After less than ten rounds of fighting, Huang Gai sold a flaw to lure Hu Zhen to attack, and struck him on the top of his head with a whip, knocking it to pieces, killing him instantly.

Sun Jian took advantage of the situation to wave his army to cover the kill, and did not retreat until the gate was closed and the arrows and stones rained down.

In this way, Sun Jian was even more sure that Dong Zhuo's reinforcements had arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass.

At noon, it seemed that because of Sun Jian's roar in the morning, the porridge with plenty of soup became rice again. After the meal, Sun Jian had another fire. The soldiers who got close seemed to see the stiff voice of the grain and grass officer, and it was not long before news of the lack of food and grass spread in the camp.

Especially in the afternoon, after Sun Jian announced that he would take a temporary break and not need to tackle key problems, and strengthened the patrol in the battalion, it intensified in private.

The afternoon passed quickly, and when the night fell, Sun Jian was really worried.

"Still no food or grass has arrived?"

Huang Gai's words are half-truths and half-truths, there is indeed not much grain and grass in the camp, but it is not to the point where it will be cut off immediately, but after Sun Jian deliberately asked for it at noon, the remaining rations are less than three days. Faced with Sun Jian's questioning, Huang Gai could only shake his head: "General Hou has not sent anyone to send grain and grass. ”

"This damn guy!" Sun Jian couldn't help but scold in a low voice when he heard this.

Huang Gai didn't say anything, just quietly asked people to strengthen their vigilance and not let people approach easily.

That night, not long after Sun Jian fell asleep, there was no more noise on all sides, and a fire broke out in the camp, and there was chaos immediately.

"Let's go to the water! Let's go to the water! ”

Sun Jian hurriedly put on his horse, intending to stabilize the situation, he didn't want to be hit by Hua Xiong, who was riding a horse, the two horses intersected, and the fight did not last a few rounds, Li Su led the troops to kill later, the fire in the camp was even worse, the chaos was worse, and the generals only had Zu Mao by their side, and the rest were nowhere to be seen, so they had to abandon Hua Xiong and flee in embarrassment.

Hua Xiong didn't know Sun Jian, but he also knew that he was an important person, and he didn't want to let go, so he chased after him. Seeing this, Sun Jian secretly screamed that it was not good, so he had to take the arrow, and the two arrows in succession were dodged by Hua Xiong. When it was time to release the third arrow, he didn't want to use too much force, so he folded the bow in his hand, so he could only abandon the bow and concentrate on fleeing for his life.

Zu Mao saw that Hua Xiong was chasing after him, and knew that it was not good to go on like this, so he said: "The red turban on the lord's head is too attention-grabbing, and it is recognized by the thief, so it is better to take it off and wear it with a certain person, and scatter and retreat." ”

Sun Jian followed.

Hua Xiongguo was as Zu Mao said, looking at the red chase, Sun Jian got off. Zu Mao was chased in disarray, covering his turban over a burnt pillar in front of the grave, and he lay still in the grass. Huaxiong's cavalry saw the red turban from a distance, thinking that Sun Jian was here, so they surrounded this place layer by layer, walked to it, and found that there was no Sun Jian, it was just a burning pillar. Only then did they withdraw their troops and leave.

Zu Mao got rid and rushed to the place agreed with Sun Jian, and after the two converged, they gathered the defeated troops on the one hand, and rushed to the allied camp on the other.

When he arrived in the camp, Sun Jian threw his knife on the ground, glared at Yuan Shu and said: "Jian has come to report the shortage of military food in the camp several times, why didn't he send food to Jian, resulting in Jian's defeat?" ”。

Yuan Shu originally felt guilty when he saw Sun Jian coming in embarrassment, but when he heard this, he suddenly couldn't hold back a little on his face, and said to himself: "Shu has never heard of this, probably because his grain and grass officials concealed it and did not report it." ”

Although Yuan Shao was dissatisfied, he also felt that Sun Jian's move was a bit faceless, so he became a peacemaker, and finally had to give up.
