Zhang Ming greeted Hua Xiong.

Between the battles, the two fought.

Guns come and go, and after more than ten rounds, there is no winner or loser.

Zhang Ming secretly thought, this warm wine is too fake, this Huaxiong's combat power is very high, even if Guan Yu comes, he may not be able to win dozens of rounds.

The two continued to fight, Zhang Ming deliberately exchanged injuries for injuries, but Hua Xiong was not fooled.

At this time, there was a shout of killing from the rear, and it turned out that Guan Yu and Sun Ce had killed.

"Retreat."

Hua Xiong gave up Zhang Ming, retreated, and ran away with others.

However, under the efforts of Zhang Ming and Zhao Yun to intercept them, some of the soldiers and horses were intercepted by them.

Hua Xiong ran away, but Zhang Ming and the others intercepted their more than 2,000 troops.

More than 2,000 troops were forced to land by Zhang Ming.

Soon, Zhang Fei also came to support.

Under Zhang Fei's fierce attack, the enemy's 3,000 soldiers and horses could not support it and were scattered by him.

"Bo Fu, how is your father?"

Seeing Sun Ce, Zhang Ming asked.

Sun Ce jumped off his horse, saluted everyone, and then said, "Thank you uncle for the rescue, my father is fine." ”

Zhang Ming nodded, forced a part of the army, and then ordered to start collecting war horses and so on.

The loot cannot be spared.

Zhang Ming took Guan Zhang Zhao and them to find Sun Jian.

"Daiei."

"Daiei."

found Sun Jian and them, but first heard a cry.

When everyone passed, it turned out that Zu Mao had already died in battle.

Sun Ce also pounced, and a group of people cried very sadly.

They are all old partners, and they died in battle, which made them very sad.

After crying for a while, Zhang Ming brought people up to express his condolences.

Sun Jian also stood up.

"Zhang Taishou, thank you for saving me."

Zhang Ming shook his head and said: "I didn't show up early, I'm really sorry, I didn't deal with the allies, and I didn't want to cause any trouble, so I didn't show up early, but I didn't want Zu Mao to die in battle." ”

Zhang Ming said it so clearly, he was already on the battlefield, but he didn't show up.

Originally, there was still some anger in everyone's hearts.

But after listening to Zhang Ming's words, everyone had nothing to say.

"Life should be like this, our army is defeated, we need to retreat immediately, Zhang Taishou is gracious, thank you another day."

Zhang Ming didn't say anything more, led people to clasp his fists and salute, and then left.

Cleaning up the battlefield naturally has nothing to do with Sun Jian.

Everything is Zhang Ming's.

Xi Zhicai and Xu Huang also brought 10,000 people up, if Hua Xiong dared to kill suddenly, it would definitely make them uncomfortable.

Cleaning the battlefield is not finished until dawn.

And the two warring sides stayed away from here, and no one bothered Zhang Ming.

In this battle, Sun Jian lost most of his troops and returned with more than 3,000 remnants.

Huaxiong won a big victory, but he was also attacked by Zhang Ming, and the loss was not small.

And Zhang Ming found more than 6,000 war horses on the battlefield, and there were a lot of weapons and equipment, but Zhang Ming didn't use so much, so he collected some of them, and the other part was directly buried with the soldiers.

Zhang Ming: They didn't stop cleaning until noon.

"My lord, more than two thousand troops have been captured."

"Twenty days of training first, and then assigned to the armies."

Zhang Ming's army was not many, and there was no allied army with a steady stream of soldiers.

Zhang Ming was stationed on the spot, while Sun Jian retreated the next day.

His army was almost gone, and there was no way to continue.

What's more, Sun Ce's general died one, and he was angry.

Zhang Ming was stationed, and the Xiliang army defended in the distance and did not come to attack him.

did not attack him, Zhang Ming set up a large battalion, and the Xiliang army was far away.

He estimated that the Western Liang army would soon retreat.

According to his estimates, the Allies will soon arrive, and then they will besiege Tiger Pass.

Zhang Ming came to the battlefield, and it has been almost half a year.

In the past six months, Zhang Ming has rested a lot and really fought a few battles, but until now, Zhang Ming's reputation has been improving.

Although Zhang Ming did not fight many times, he won all of them.

Every time he fought, Zhang Ming had to compile a script and then spread it.

Even, Zhang Ming even had people copy it, make it into a small book, and send it directly to some people.

In this way, under the scramble to spread, Zhang Ming's prestige is no worse than Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's record is mainly due to Sun Jian's momentum all the way, but Zhang Ming helped Sun Jian at several critical times and took away a lot of credit.

Now, when the two armies are facing each other, Zhang Ming also has something to say, he can say that he has blocked the peak of the Xiliang army.

Zhang Ming's propaganda was very effective, and his reputation increased rapidly.

At this time, in the big camp, Zhang Ming and the others began training in full swing.

The newly captured soldiers were trained individually, but they had a relatively low intensity of training, mainly in training cohorts.

At the same time, let them observe the training of other armies, so that these prisoners can be mentally prepared.

Zhang Ming: Their training intensity is very high, but they eat well.

The army brought a lot of jerky, all beef and mutton jerky bought from the grassland, and a lot of salted fish.

If you train at high intensity, you have to eat well, and if you don't eat well, it's a big deal.

Then Sun Jian went back.

When they went back, they made a big fuss about the Allied camp, and it was because the Allied logistics could not keep up that they were defeated, and it also led to the death of Zu Mao.

"Alliance leaders, generals, look at this knife."

Sun Jian threw a few blades to the ground and said, "This knife, the blades are all rolled, can this knife cut people?" ”

"If it weren't for the loss of logistics, our army would not have been defeated."

Sun Jian's trouble, and the people in the Allied camp have opinions.

Yuan Shao asked Yuan Shu, after all, it was Yuan Shu who was in charge of logistics, and finally Yuan Shu pulled out a logistics officer and killed the logistics officer.

Everyone knew what was going on, but no one said it.

Within the Allies, there was some estrangement.

But these differences did not shake their resolve, and the Allies remained united in their goals.

In the end, Yuan Shao supplemented Sun Jian's forces and appeased him.

After a few days of trouble, the dust has settled.

Zu Mao died in battle, Sun Jian was very sad, sulking in the big tent.

"Daddy, what are we going to do next?"

Sun Jian sighed and said: "Our Sun family's foundation is still too shallow, we need to rely on others, it is better to rely on others than on ourselves, after the battle against Dong, we must plan for ourselves." ”

Sun Jian's mentality has changed, he was bent on crusading against Dong Zhuo and restoring the Han Dynasty, but now he understands that few of the allies are really trying to restore the Han Dynasty.

And he, too, began to think for himself.

Sun Ce didn't understand.

Sun Jian said again: "This time, we have to find a way to preserve our strength, and when we return to Changsha, we can dominate one side." ”

"In the future, the world will be divided, and the people who fight for Dong this time will all be the forces of one side in the future."

Sun Ce said: "Then my master, uncle, and a few of them have already planned to do so?" ”

"It should be, I couldn't understand Zhang Ming before, if I think about it according to the thinking of wanting to dominate one side, many of his behaviors will be reasonable."

Sun Ce nodded and said, "Fortunately, my master and uncle are far away in Liaodong, thousands of miles away from us, and there is no conflict. ”

Sun Jian did not speak again, but fell into deep thought.
