Jia Xu listened to his words and fell into deep thought.

After leaving this place, he immediately went to Dong Zhuo's camp, Dong Zhuo sat in front of the case, I don't know what he was looking at, he saw Jia Xu walk in, he also had some doubts in his heart, Jia Xu didn't say much, sat down in front of him, and said: "Dong Gong, get ready to attack, and in a few days, we will send troops to Guishuang!" Rescue the arrested merchants! ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, on this day, he waited for so long, but Jia Xu said: "In addition, I also gave General Sun an order, in the near future, his army will also arrive, and when the time comes, it will still take Dong Gong as the commander, and the two armies of the north and south will attack together...", Jia Xu did not finish speaking, Dong Zhuo interrupted him impatiently, and asked: "Such a trivial matter, why do you need the two armies of the north and the south?" The Northern Army is enough! ”

Jia Xu also knew why Dong Zhuo said this, in the temple, there was only one Sun Jian who could compete with Dong Zhuo for the position of captain, Sun Jian was born in the Southern Army, followed Duan Xi and Zhang Wen successively, led the troops to fight, and made great achievements, and Dong Zhuo didn't want Sun Jian to participate in the crusade against Guishuang at all.

"Dong Gong, we have never faced Guishan face to face, we can't despise the other party, wait for General Sun to arrive, Dong Gong will attack the law in one fell swoop, rescue Shang Jia, when the time comes, Dong Gong will be the body of the Tai Lieutenant, General Sun is a subordinate, Dong Gong made friends with his subordinates in advance, it is also a good thing..."

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he felt that what he said was not bad, smiled, and said, "That's it, that's fine!" ”

As a result, the whole army began to prepare for the attack, and everyone understood in their hearts that they were finally going to send troops, Dong Zhuo did not hide it, and directly told them that as soon as Sun Jian came, the army would go to Guishan, and all the captured Han merchants were rescued.

Some are also happy and feel that this victory is even greater.

There are also nonsense, saying that Sun Jian came this time specifically to commend him, because he killed the leader of the Guishan rebels and wanted to give him the position of the lieutenant marquis of the southern army.

This non-talkative brother was soon called to the camp by Dong Zhuo.

"You bastard! Do you know how much trouble you've gotten into?! ”

"Originally, those people came to surrender, I told Jia Xu that I would attack Guishan through him, but as a result, I was beheaded by you! It's a bad strategy, I didn't kill you, I tried my best to scare Jia Xu to save you, and you still don't repent?! Dong Zhuo said and said, he was in a hurry, so he kicked Hua Xiong over, picked up the case on the ground, and went to chase after him.

"Trouble me again, and I'll beat you to death!!"

On this day, Hua Xiong was carried out of Dong Zhuo's tent by the soldiers.

After waiting for three or four days, Sun Jian led the army to come, Sun Jian is different from Dong Zhuo, he is still young and strong, and he did not arrange a striker, riding a fast horse, walking in the front of the whole army, with a tiger on his back, looking down on the surroundings, the generals of the northern army have visited him, although there are also disagreements between them and the southern army, but for this general who can fight well, he still has great respect.

Dong Zhuo did not go to greet him in person, and asked Huang Zhong to take him back to the camp.

Cao Cao arranged for many soldiers of the Southern Army to settle down and be able to repair.

Sun Jian led several henchmen and generals under his command into the camp tent, Dong Zhuo sat on the main seat, Jia Xu sat on the left side, saw Sun Jian enter, everyone got up, Sun Jian saluted Dong Zhuo, and met the captain, Dong Zhuo smiled, stepped forward, took Sun Jian's hand, and let him sit beside him, there were also many generals in the camp tent, all of whom came to greet Sun Jian.

Sun Jian sat down, Cao Cao on the side nodded towards him, and Sun Jian also smiled.

Dong Zhuo said: "After marching for such a long time, Wentai must have suffered a lot of crimes!" ”

"Alas, this Western Regions, it's really weird, when I just walked into the Western Regions, it was still snowing heavily, we were completely dressed in cotton clothes, wrapped thick and thick, just walked to the wheel, and it was extremely hot... This desert, the Gobi, is really difficult to walk, let alone a soldier, even I almost can't stand it..."Sun Jian shook his head and complained.

Dong Zhuo laughed, and everyone laughed too, Sun Jian's true temperament made these rough military men very fond of it, and after chatting for a while, Dong Zhuo began to introduce, "This is Cao Cao, the general of Zhengxi, the word Mengde!" ”

"This, Huang Zhong, the middle marquis of the Northern Army, you have known each other for a long time, right?"

"That one, Guan Yu, the captain of the shooting voice, is the word Changsheng..."

"Captain Xu Huang of Changshui..."

"Captain Koji Yoshi..."

After introducing the people around him, Dong Zhuo looked at Sun Jian, Sun Jian also pointed to the generals on the seat, and said: "That, Fenwu Captain Ma Chao, the word Meng Qi...", a general who looked like a Qiang man got up and greeted everyone.

"Captain Xu Chu of Dangkou, the word Zhongkang..."

The man stood up, everyone was dumbfounded, this person was too burly, eight feet long, ten girths around the waist, and a majestic appearance, he was standing there, all of them were terrifying, this person's appearance reminded Dong Zhuo of the school captain Dian Wei who was far away in Donghao, this person and Dian Wei's general figure was really rare, everyone was secretly surprised, and this person also bowed his hand to meet him.

Sun Jian looked at the young general standing at the end, and said with a smile: "That vertical is the vanguard army Sima, called Sun Ce, the word Bofu." ”

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo looked at the young man, Sun Ce was very handsome, saluted to everyone, looked at Huang Zhong again, and said, "Uncle, is he?" Huang Zhong then remembered him, Sun Jian's eldest son? Now they're all so big, if my son is still here, maybe... Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, but he still reacted, and said with a smile: "Bo Fu is so big!" Almost didn't recognize!! ”

Everyone was suddenly a little surprised, and Sun Jian said with a smile: "This is my eldest son." ”

When everyone heard this, they nodded, but their faces were mostly disdainful, they didn't expect that Sun Jian's guy was also a good cronie, and appointed his son as the vanguard army Sima, his son was not half the age of Xu Chu, can he fight? It's just nonsense!

Dong Zhuo didn't say anything, nodded, looked at Sun Jian, and said: "Wentai, you know about such an expedition, you know it, give you three days to rest, repair the whole army, and after three days, I'll wait for the departure, okay?" ”

Sun Jian nodded and said, "In this way, thank you Dong Gong..."

After the matter was negotiated, the banquet began, everyone laughed and chatted, happy and happy, only Sun Jian, his face was a little hesitant, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say this, Dong Zhuo's eyes were sharp, seeing him like this, he came over and asked in a low voice: "Wentai, what's the matter?" ”

"Dong Gong, there is one thing, I don't know whether to ask or not?"

"Just ask..."

"Who is the one who is sitting in the distance, with gauze wrapped around his head, and who is smirking and eating?"

"Oh? He? What, he's rude to you? ”

"No, it's just that Dong Gong didn't introduce it, and I'm curious... I want to make friends..."

"It's okay, don't ask, that's a bad guy, you won't want to make friends with him.."

Dong Zhuo shook his head and said.

The army began to repair again, the time was clear, three days later, the battle would begin, therefore, during this period of time, the food of the soldiers had changed, and the soldiers were extremely happy, they did not take the Kushan people in their eyes at all, after two defeats, in their minds, the Kushan people had become a military feats that could move around.

On the second day, Gongsun Zhan, who was active in Guishan, returned to the camp with the soldiers of the brave battalion.

Gongsun Chan returned to the camp, Dong Zhuo called Jia Xu, Sun Jian, Huang Zhong, and Cao Cao, and agreed together, Gongsun Chan was still panting, took out a few paper rolls from his sleeves, put them on the case, and spread them out one by one, everyone gathered around, Gongsun Chan pointed to the marks on the paper, and said: "Starting from here, this, this, there are mountains and forests in these three areas, and there are fierce beasts in the mountains and forests here... The other two didn't..."

"It's a valley and it's a great place to get a peek around... It's about ten miles from here..."

"There are nine county towns in Marakanda, and it is said that it is a county seat, but in fact, only one can be regarded as a city, with tall walls, and the rest are like villages, without fortifications, and the number of soldiers in the city is not clear, but there are nearly 6,000 people in the city..."

"Here, here, here, there are four places, there is a large camp of the enemy, and here there are the most soldiers, but they don't seem to be familiar with this place, they may be foreign, and the other three are very familiar with the local area, but their combat effectiveness is not strong, and there are no cavalry... In addition, they have strong bows, and the range of bows and arrows is very long, similar to ours..."

"There is a river here, and it flows directly to the great river, and the great river is in the north..."

"This is farmland, this is where you can ambush, these four villages don't like the Kushan army, they may be directly related to the original Maracanda princes...."

"The city has been stormed, on the left, there are gaps that have not been patched..."

"The total number of soldiers in Marakanda may have reached nearly fifty thousand, but they are not all accompanied by the army, there is no commander, each of them is a pawn, and even, their clothing and banners are different, I think it is very likely that it is an alliance formed by the princes of different regions, and the most powerful force is likely to be the direct army of the King of Kushan..."

Gongsun Chan kept talking, and everyone was dumbfounded.

How did you find out all this information?

Looking at the rolls of paper piled up on the case, they all felt as if they were going to fight in their own country, and with Gongsun Zhan's explanation, Maracanda gradually took shape in their minds, and became more and more familiar, and everyone stared at each other, sometimes looking at Gongsun Zhan, sometimes looking at each other.

"By the way, there are also generals guarding this southern artery, who seem to be unwell..."

"Captain Gongsun..."Sun Jian finally couldn't help but interrupt him, Gongsun Chan raised his head, looked at Sun Jian, and asked, "General?" What are the commands? ”

"I believe you when you talked about terrain and so on, but the general is unwell, how do you know?"

"Oh, the general doesn't know, this man led a light cavalry to chase after our army all the way. Chased for nearly eight days.... At last I crossed the river with my soldiers, and destroyed the bridge, and he could not cross, and cursed for a long time on the other side of the river, and then fell to the ground with blood and fell directly from his horse, and after that, I took people there to harass me, and did not see the soldiers chasing after me, so I inferred that the general must still be lying on the sickbed. The hearts of the army are shaken..."

Sun Jian glanced at Gongsun Zhan deeply and nodded.

"Please continue to explain..."

When Gongsun Chan finished speaking and walked out, everyone still hadn't been able to recover.

"Dong Gong..."

"Wentai? What's wrong? ”

"Ahem, our army is not as numerous as the Northern Army, and it is not as elite as the Northern Army, I want Captain Gongsun to lead the army to help my Southern Army, I don't know how?"

"Hehehe... Captain Gongsun is a scout for the whole army and cannot be transferred. ”
