Chapter 7: Huaxiong strikes again
"How's the lord?"
Huang Gai asked nervously, Huang Gai finally came back alive, but Zu Mao stayed on that battlefield forever.
"The situation is unknown, life and death are unknown!"
Cheng Pu, Han Dang lowered his head.
"Well, what a good thing that is!"
Huang Gai sat slumped on the ground, grief-stricken.
"It's all to blame for not protecting the lord, now the lord doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, Zu Mao died in battle! I'm damned! β
Huang Gai hit the ground, telling his self-blame and venting his pain.
"Huang Gai, now that the lord is not dead, instead of blaming himself and feeling guilty, it is better to find a way to heal the lord and stabilize the lieutenant generals of the army, do you want others to see the joke by doing this?"
Han Dang angrily reprimanded Huang Gai, as Han Dang said, except for Sun Jian's situation, the situation in the army is not good, and the descendants in the army are fine, but the rest of the forces have begun to support the people and horses.
"Crunch!"
The wooden door was pushed open, and a slight creak alerted the trio.
"Sir, how is the lord?"
The three of them immediately greeted the person who went out.
"The original injury of the lord is extremely serious, coupled with the bumps along the way, he missed the most refueling and healing time, and the injury has worsened, the old man has done his best, everything depends on the lord's own creation."
The old man's face was depressed and grief-stricken, he felt decadent because of his lack of medical skills, and he was sad that Sun Jian was seriously injured.
"Lord!"
When the three of them heard the old man's answer, they couldn't hold back any longer, and they all began to cry.
In their opinion, what the doctor said showed that Sun Jian was really dying.
"The three generals, please suspend their grief, not to mention that the lord is not dead yet, and now there are important matters waiting for the three generals to preside."
The old man opened his mouth to persuade him, Jiang is still old and spicy, the old man has decades of experience, and he has been following in the army, so he still has a certain understanding of these things.
"The old gentleman is right, now that the lord is seriously injured and there is no leader in the army, we must calm the morale of the army, and then discuss the next action."
Han Dang took the lead in getting rid of his grief, and said heavily, it was not that Han Dang didn't pay attention to Sun Jian, but that he hadn't experienced this battle in comparison, and he was much calmer than the other two.
"The matter of the lord's serious injury must have been spread out, and the princes from all walks of life are afraid that they will rush to this side, as for the purpose, you should all be clear, now what we have to do is to keep these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses for the lord, and at the same time find a way to withdraw from this battle and return to Danyang."
Han Dang continued to speak, in the case of Sun Jian's serious injury, they could only temporarily stabilize the army, and they had no right to speak among the princes, and would become the "cannon fodder" of other princes.
"I think we should send someone back to Danyang to inform the eldest prince."
At this time, Huang Gai also spoke.
"Although the eldest prince is young, he is brave and resourceful, and he is the heir of the lord, so he must be notified."
Cheng Pu said in a deep voice.
"Since this is the case, then it is decided, and while rectifying the army, secretly send someone to Danyang to inform the eldest prince."
Huang Gai spoke again.
"Good!"
Cheng Pu, Han Dang nodded.

meanwhile
After returning to the barracks, LΓΌ Bu learned that Cheng Lian and Wei Xu had died in battle.
"Can you find out who they are?"
At this time, Lu Bu's face was extremely ugly, Wei Xu and Cheng Lian were his right-hand men, and now that the two of them were killed, how could he not be angry.
"Not only are those people small in number, they are not fully armoured, and they have no flags, and there is no news except that they know that the leaders are three brothers, and their appearance is different from ordinary people."
Zhang Liao said in a low voice, he was both angry and self-blaming for this matter, angry that his comrades were killed, and blaming himself for not finding out who the enemy was until now.
"Damn it!"
Lu Bu scolded viciously, and he didn't know whether to scold Liu Bei and the others, or Zhang Liao.
"The order is to go down to the army in three days and march towards the Tiger Prison Pass, these people are definitely Sun Jian and his group, they must be in the Tiger Prison Pass."
Lu Bu angrily gave the order.
"General, no!"
Zhang Liao's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly stopped it.
"Why not?"
Lu Bu looked displeased and stared at Zhang Liao, as if as long as Zhang Liao said something wrong, he would meet his anger.
"In this battle, it can be fully known that the Guanwai coalition army is not a rabble, and now it has lost Cheng Lian, Wei continued, once our army is the first bird, it will only lose too much of our army's strength, and it will have an impact on the status of the general, rather than losing our army, it is better to let Hua Xiong be the vanguard."
Zhang Liao hurriedly explained that Zhang Liao and Lu Bu were both members of the Bingzhou army, and the soldiers and horses under Lu Bu were also Bingzhou soldiers and horses, whether it was Lu Bu or this army of soldiers and horses, Zhang Liao did not want to be damaged.
"General, the last general thinks that Wen Yuan's words are reasonable, the vanguard is Huaxiong's, and the general has saved him, and he is already benevolent and righteous, so why bother to clean up the mess for him."
Gao Shun also spoke.
"General, revenge is indeed important, but the survival of the army is more important than that, the coalition army is one million, more than ten times more than our army, and insisting on revenge will only harm our army."
It was Cao Xing, one of the eight strong generals, who spoke, and the rest of Lu Bu's subordinates also opened their mouths to persuade Lu Bu not to be a bird.
Lu Bu fell into silence, his desire to attack and take revenge was actually secondary, and more importantly, Lu Bu wanted to prove to Dong Zhuo that he Lu Bu should be the pioneer, and he Lu Bu was Dong Zhuo's most important subordinate.
However, after hearing the persuasion of Zhang Liao and others, Lu Bu hesitated, Lu Bu was not unscrupulous, but he was so happy and too conceited.
He also has feelings for his soldiers, and he doesn't want these people to die in vain, and when they can't get enough results.
"In that case, let Huaxiong continue to be this pioneer!"
After a long time, Lu Bu made a decision.
"The general is wise!"
Zhang Liao and others were overjoyed.
Soon after, Lu Bu found Hua Xiong.
"General Huaxiong!"
Lu Bu deliberately lowered his posture and looked much more gentle and humble,
"General Lu!"
Lu Bu's change in Huaxiong is a little abrupt, and Lu Bu has always looked down on Huaxiong.
"This time Sun Jian suffered a heavy blow, Zu Mao died in battle, Sun Jian's army will inevitably be demoralized, and its strength will be greatly reduced, so I thought that the general could take this opportunity to lead the troops into the Tiger Pass, recapture the Tiger Pass and destroy Sun Jian's troops."
Lu Bu said to Hua Xiong.
"General Lu is right!"
Hua Xiong nodded hurriedly, Hua Xiong, like Lu Bu, is also a proud and arrogant person, but he is even more resourceless than Lu Bu.
Hua Xiong has always felt that Lu Bu is the first in the world, he is the second in the world, even if he loses to Sun Jian this time, he is still so arrogant.
"It's just that I don't know anything about the end?"
Hua Xiong frowned and said, Hua Xiong has no plan, it doesn't mean that he is stupid.
"What's the matter?"
Lu Bu asked.
"Why didn't General Lu attack Tiger Pass? Destroying Sun Jian and recapturing the Tiger Prison Pass is a great achievement! β
Hua Xiong knew Lu Bu's character, and he was very puzzled by Lu Bu's failure to attack the Tiger Prison.
"If Sun Jian is destroyed and the Tiger Prison Pass is recovered, what does General Huaxiong think will Xiangguo do to deal with you?"
Lu Bu asked with a smile, Lu Bu's meaning is very simple, if you Huaxiong can't make up for it, Dong Zhuo won't let you go.
"Thank you, General Lu!"
Hearing Lu Bu say this, Hua Xiong didn't understand anymore, he was a fool.
"You and I are both Xiangguo-sama's people, so naturally we should be in the same boat."
Saying these words against his will, Lu Bu felt very uncomfortable.
"Thank you General Lu, in the future, General Lu has orders, Huaxiong will definitely do his best."
Hua Xiong hurriedly spoke, his face full of gratitude.
"It's okay!"
Lu Bu said with a smile.
