Just when Yuan Shao said that he wanted to find a striker, there was a brief silence in the big tent, but no one stood up to ask for his life.

Later, when Yuan Shao asked again, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian and Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin went out to ask for their lives, willing to be the vanguard of the allies!

Later, Yuan Shao appointed Sun Jian as the striker, and at the same time appointed Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, to succeed Sun Jian.

And Sun Jian received the task, so he led the people of his headquarters to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass.

And Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, thought that Sun Jian was the front, afraid that he would take the lead, so he secretly transferred his brother Bao Zhong to first march 3,000 horses and troops to the small road until the battle was closed.

At that time, the Tiger Prison Pass was garrisoned by Zhang Ji, a general under Dong Zhuo, and when he saw Bao Zhong leading 3,000 horse infantry to come, he raised his account to discuss the matter; While sending people to Luoyang to report back to Dong Zhuo in the starry night.

"Now, the princes of the Seventeenth Road of Shandong are attacking the land of Guanzhong, and now the forward and even the Tiger Prison Pass are fighting, I don't know who can block it for me?"

"I'm willing to kill this guy for my uncle." The person who spoke was Zhang Ji's nephew, Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiunai is the senior brother of Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, who studied under Tong Yuan, and his marksmanship is superb!

Zhang Ji knew his martial arts, so he and Zhang embroidered a thousand iron horses. Then Zhang Xiu led the iron to ride a thousand, flew down the pass, and shouted: "The thief will leave!" ”

Bao Zhong saw that he was only thirty years old, and he was born like a scholar, and he only had a thousand iron horses, so he wanted to lead the troops to fight Zhang Xiu.

The two armies fought, and Zhang Xiu and Bao Zhong were in the lead. The two generals intersected, and Bao Zhong was stabbed in the center by Zhang Xiu and fell under the horse.

And Bao Zhongduo's troops saw that Bao Zhong was killed in battle, and they no longer had the heart to fight, so they scattered and fled, Zhang Xiu led the troops to rush and kill for a while, and captured a lot of generals.

After that, Zhang Xiu led the troops back to the customs and handed over Bao Zhong's head to Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji was overjoyed and sent someone to Bao Zhong's head to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report the victory.

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Xiu's victory in the first battle, so he crowned Zhang Xiu as the governor. At the same time, Dong Zhuo learned that the princes of Shandong Seventeenth Road were coming from Wanghu Prison, so he urgently ordered someone to raise the account.

"Wen You, the princes of Shandong want to get rid of me quickly, and now, the seventeenth road army, a total of more than 300,000, is coming from Wanghu Prison, how should this be good?"

Before Li Ru could speak, Admiral Pan Feng stepped forward and said:

"Don't worry, father. The princes outside the border, I regard them as grass mustard; May the army of tigers and wolves be beheaded and hung in the capital gate. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said: "I have no equal, I can sit back and relax!" ”

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo ordered Pan Feng to have 50,000 generals, and Li Ru as a military advisor and a striker. Then Dong Zhuo himself prepared to personally lead an army of 150,000, and Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Niu Fu and others will be the rear army, and they will set off on the same day!

And Zheng Tai, the secretary of the account, saw that Dong Zhuo wanted to personally lead the army to conquer the princes from all walks of life, so he got up and said: "Politics lies in morality, not in the number of soldiers. ”

Dong Zhuo was very unhappy when he heard this: "According to what you say, is the army useless?" ”

Zheng Tai said: "I don't mean that, but I don't think it's worth sending a large army to fight east of Kunshan. You rose to prominence in Xizhou, became a general when you were young, and became familiar with military affairs.

And Yuan Shao is a son of a princess who grew up in the capital;

Cao Cao's cockfighting lackeys are really Luoyang scoundrels;

Zhang Miao is a loyal elder of Dongping County, sitting in the hall;

Confucius will talk loudly, praise and dispraise; These people have no military talents, and they are no match for you.

What's more, their official positions are all sealed by themselves, and they have not been appointed by the imperial court, and there is no order of respect and inferiority.

If you rely on the strength of the army to fight, these people will see that the prime minister is powerful, and they will inevitably hate the same enemy, although the prime minister has hundreds of thousands of troops, but he may not be able to help these people.

Moreover, the area east of Kunshan has been peaceful for a long time, and the soldiers are not good at fighting formations, and the elite under Dong Gong's account are heroic soldiers in a hundred battles.

Moreover, Dong Gong rejected the benefits of the Tiger Pass, and also the fierceness of General Pan and the wisdom of Wen You, so why should Dong Gong personally lead a large army to discuss, he can garrison the Tiger Pass with Wen You's 100,000 troops.

Then the allies will inevitably not be afraid of the prime minister, and after a long time, everyone will be slack, and suspicion will be secret.

In this way, if the Allied forces are infighting, the siege of Luoyang can be solved immediately, and Dong Gong should sit in Luoyang to calm the hearts of the people in the world. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and finally ordered Li Ru to lead 100,000 troops, and Pan Feng, Fan Chou, Niu Fu and other generals rushed to the aid of Tiger Prison!

However, it was said that Sun Jian led four generals and 15,000 troops to run in front of the Tiger Prison Pass. The four will be:

The first, the right Beiping Tuyin people, surnamed Cheng, the name Pu, the word Demou, make an iron spine snake spear;

the second, surnamed Huang, the name cover, the word is public, and the Lingling people are also, making the iron whip;

the third, surnamed Han, the name is dang, the word is Yigong, and the people of Liaoxi Lingzhi are also, making a big knife;

The fourth, surnamed Zu, Mingmao, the word Darong, Wujun Fuchun people also, make double knives.

And Sun Jian himself was dressed in silver armor, wrapped in red silk, crossed the ancient ingot knife, rode a flower-maned horse, pointed at Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji and scolded: "Your food is a big man, but you help Dong thief!" ”

Before Zhang Ji could give orders, Zhang Xiu picked up his gun and mounted his horse, and the young general Hu Zhen led 10,000 iron horsemen out of the pass to meet the enemy.

Cheng Pu Pegasus held a spear and took Hu Zhen directly. After not counting, Cheng Pu stabbed Hu Zhen in the throat and died under the horse.

And Zhang Xiu intercepted Sun Jian and fought with Sun Jian, but in thirty rounds, Han Dang and Zu Mao saw that Sun Jian could not win, so they patted their horses to help Sun Jian come.

Zhang Xiu was not afraid of this, and he was even more energetic, and fought with the three of them. And when Zhang Ji was closed, he saw that Hu Zhen had been broken, and Zhang Xiu could not win quickly, so he led 5,000 troops, left 5,000 to garrison the pass, and rushed to the battlefield.

Seeing the reinforcements, Zhang Xiu's army won a big victory, and Sun Jian saw that he could not win, so he Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and Zhang Xiu then led the army to cover up and kill for a while.

According to post-war statistics, although the general Hu Zhen was broken, he also killed 4,000, which was a draw!

However, Sun Jian led his troops back to Liangdong to live, and made people report the victory to Yuan Shao, but said that he had beheaded Dong Zhuo's general Hu Zhen, and urged food at Yuan Shu's place.

Yuan Shu's camp, as soon as Sun Jian's envoy left, Yuan Shu's subordinates said to Yuan Shu: "Sun Jian is a Jiangdong tiger; If Luoyang is broken and Dong Zhuo is killed, it is to get rid of the wolf and get the tiger. If there is no food today, the other army will be scattered. ”

After Yuan Shu thought about it, he felt that it made sense, so he listened to this person's suggestion and did not send grain and grass to Sun Jian.

Therefore, within a few days, Sun Jian's army began to run out of food, so the sergeants continued to riot, and Zhang Ji learned that he was reported to Zhang Ji.

After Zhang Xiu heard this, he said like Zhang Ji: "Uncle, Sun Jian is short of food, this is a good opportunity for our army, tonight my uncle led an army down the road to Sun Jian's camp."

And I led the army to Sun Jianqianzhai, and under the attack of the two of us, Sun Jian could be captured overnight. ”

When Zhang Ji heard this, he felt that this was a good plan, so he followed his words. The sergeant was ordered to eat a full meal and go down to the pass by night.

It is the night moon and the white wind is clear. When I arrived at Jianzhai, it was already the middle of the night, and the noise went straight forward. Sun Jian hurriedly put on his horse and met Zhang Xiu.

The two horses intersected, and the fight was not counted, and Zhang Ji led the army to kill it, and actually set fire to the rear camp.

The army is in turmoil. The generals fought separately, and only Zu Mao and Ding Sun Jian broke through and left.

Sun Jian wanted to break through and leave, but Zhang Xiu couldn't let him get his wish, but led the army to chase him, seeing this, Sun Jian was in a hurry.

took out the bow and arrows and released two arrows in a row, but Zhang Xiu dodged them. When the third arrow was released, because the force was too strong, the magpie drew the bow and had to abandon the bow and run on the horse.

Zu Mao saw that no matter where Sun Jian turned, Zhang Xiu could find Sun Jian, and then looked at Sun Jian's outfit, so he said clearly:

"The lord has a red eye on his head, and he is recognized by the thief. It can be taken off and worn somehow. ”

Sun Jian understood, so he took off his helmet and changed to Zu Mao, and went in two ways. Zhang Xiu was really fooled, and chased after the person who wore the red curtain, and Sun Jiannai got off from the small road.

Zu Mao was chased by Zhang Xiu, so he reflexively led the army to fight with Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu saw Zu Mao come to fight himself, he was overjoyed, and fought with Zu Mao with a gun.

The two fought for forty rounds, Zu Mao gradually lost his strength, and Zhang Xiu became more and more courageous, and after ten rounds of fighting, Zu Mao saw that the soldiers around him were all killed by Zhang Xiu's men.

Zu Mao was distracted because of this, and Zhang Xiu found a flaw, and pierced Zu Mao's throat with a shot, and then Zu Mao fell to the ground in response. Zhang Xiu cut his head and thought it was Sun Jian, so he happily returned to the army.

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang all came to find Sun Jian, and then packed up the army and horses to Xingyang. Sun Jian was sad to fold the general Zu Mao, and sent someone to report to Yuan Shao in the starry night.

Yuan Shao was shocked: "I don't want Sun Wentai to be defeated by Zhang Ji!" Then he gathered all the princes together and took counsel.

"The day before yesterday, General Bao's brother did not obey the order, entered the army without authorization, killed himself, and broke many sergeants; Now Sun Wentai was defeated by Zhang Ji again: frustrated spirit, what can I do about it? ”

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he saw that all the princes were silent, so he raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that all the princes lowered their heads, so they also shook their heads helplessly, and was about to speak again, but heard someone talking.

"Why worry about the alliance leader, we have more than 300,000 troops, why worry about the 20,000 troops in the Xiaohu prison, and lead the army to camp outside the pass, and attack day and night."

Yuan Shao saw that there was no one else to offer a plan, so he adopted Gongsun Zhan's strategy, and then raised his army and came towards the tiger prison, while sending a messenger to tell Sun Jian!
