Chapter 8 The Soldiers Are on the Dip

Hua Xiong, who had been chasing Sun Jian closely, heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and knew that it would be difficult to kill Sun Jian today, and his own men and horses were all here, except for Sun Jian's reinforcements, who else could there be? Although I don't know how many people and horses came, but based on my own experience, I am afraid that there will be no less than 3,000 cavalry in such a movement. Pen? Interesting?

Although he and Li Su brought a total of 10,000 horses to attack the camp, Li Su's 5,000 men were all foot soldiers. Although he brought a lot of cavalry, but after a battle, only himself and hundreds of guards kept chasing Sun Jian tightly, and now, even Li Su was gone. With only a few hundred people under his command, he went to attack the cavalry that had just arrived, and there was no chance of winning at all. Although Sun Jian's martial arts are not as good as his own, he is not much worse, and now that reinforcements have come, it is better for him to withdraw first. Anyway, Sun Jian has been defeated by himself today, and the goal has been achieved, now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is better to return to Bishui to hold on.

With such a mentality, Hua Xiong immediately ordered the whole army to retreat. In the end, it was the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, well-trained, and Hua Xiong's personal guard, which was even more elite, so Hua Xiong gave this order, and the whole army did not turn around in a circle, but directly pulled the horse and turned around in place. After all, everyone knows that not far ahead, there is the opponent's army, so it's better not to rush over at this time.

When Zhao Yun saw Sun Jian, he could hear from the sound of horses' hooves that was getting softer and softer, that Hua Xiong had already run away. Therefore, Zhao Yun did not order to chase, but let his men and horses help Sun Jian to collect the rout together, and he himself took the initiative to come forward to salute Sun Jian.

That Sun Jian saw Zhao Yun coming, and heard that the pursuers behind him had retreated, and the whole person was also relaxed. When he saw Zhao Yun beating his horse and walking towards him, he turned over and dismounted directly, and solemnly saluted Zhao Yun: "If it weren't for Zilong today, my life would be resting." Great kindness, toothless and unforgettable. ”

Zhao Yun saw that Sun Jian was saluting so solemnly, and he hurriedly dismounted. Zhao Yun was already respectful, which was completely different from Gao Ye and Guo Jia, even if he had lived with Gao Ye and them for so many years, he had not changed. Although Gao Ye is polite, it depends on the occasion, and he will only remember the etiquette when he needs to. As for Guo Jia, he is more inclined to be promiscuous, wanting to see him observe the etiquette flawlessly, Zhao Yun feels that he will not be able to see it in his life. But Zhao Yun is different from the two of them, his observance of etiquette is almost to the point of a perversion, in Gao Ye's words, Zhao Yun is now a real "self-denial and revenge", and I don't know who he learned it from.

"Sun Taishou doesn't have to be like this, this is all the duty of the clouds." Zhao Yun replied, "If it weren't for the eldest brother telling me to march overnight today, I wouldn't be here." ”

"Oh? Mingxi told you to march overnight, but why? ”

"The eldest brother said that Taishou and Huaxiong have been holding on to each other for a long time under this Bishui City, since the army will arrive in a few days, it is better for me to come here temporarily to listen to the dispatch, maybe I can catch Huaxiong by surprise."

"Alas, if everyone in my alliance can be like Mingxi, how can I have today's defeat!"

Zhao Yun listened to Sun Jian's words, and he didn't know what to do. In fact, he was also full of doubts about the orders given to him by Gao Ye, but Zhao Yun had a characteristic, that is, he was obedient. Although he was skeptical of Gao Ye's orders, if Gao Ye was resolute, then he would be equally resolute in carrying out his orders.

As a time-traveler in later generations, Gao Ye was naturally very aware of the funny fact that Yuan Shu did not send Sun Jian food in time. Sun Jian was defeated because of this, and he even broke Zu Mao, a good brother who followed him from Jiangdong. In fact, when Gao Ye read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in later generations, he always wondered why Yuan Shu was because of "Sun Jian is a Jiangdong Tiger; If you break Luoyang and kill Dong Zhuo, it is a reason to get rid of the wolf and get the tiger", so you won't give Sun Jian food, such a reason is simply untenable! Just like Dong Zhuo, the reason why he was able to quickly gain a foothold in the court was that his 100,000 Xiliang soldiers and horses were only an auxiliary factor, and the most important point was because he happened to meet a powerless Liu Xie who wanted to be in the position. Liu Xie's ability was vividly displayed during the palace rebellion, and Dong Zhuo also claimed that he was the clansman of the Empress Dowager Dong, so he supported Liu Xie, which can also be understood by everyone. For most courtiers, who is the emperor is not the emperor, and it does not harm their own interests, not to mention that Liu Xie is really much stronger than Liu Wei? If it weren't for Dong Zhuo being too domineering, and the major families were in danger of themselves, this anti-Dong coalition army would not be able to organize it.

But what about Sun Jian, compared with Dong Zhuo, first, he does not have strong military strength, second, he does not have deep political capital, and Yuan Shu is not stupid, how can he harm Sun Jian for this reason? But since the matter has been recorded, it seems to have really happened, although I don't understand why Yuan Shu did this, but no matter what he says, he has fought side by side with Sun Jian, and it is good to help him earn personal favors. Only then did Zhao Yun march overnight, all the way to the foot of Bishui City, and sure enough, he ran into Sun Jian and others who were being defeated.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, he was sent out to save the lives of Sun Jian and others, such a thing is too coincidental! No, I have to ask my eldest brother what is going on when I go back. Did he already expect that Sun Jian might be defeated, so he let himself come? Otherwise, if you throw yourself to Sun Jian, why should you give yourself 3,000 cavalry? Do you ride up to the castle tower?

"Lord Taishou, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Yun couldn't help asking.

"General Zhao, you don't know, speaking of this, I'm really angry!" Zu Mao on the side couldn't help but say, "Do you know, that Yuan Shu said that the military rations arrived yesterday, but how do you know that I haven't even seen a grain of rice now." The sons and daughters are hungry, where is Huaxiong's opponent! ”

Zhao Yun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, there was a mistake in the military rations, this is not a trivial matter. His eldest brother has said more than once that fighting a war is logistics! Sun Tzu also has the words of "If the army has no baggage, it will die, and if there is no food, it will die", and now Yuan Shu, the governor of grain and grass, has such a thing, no wonder Sun Jian has such feelings.

Zhao Yun saw that Sun Jian was silent, just shook his head vigorously, and he didn't know what to say, so he simply didn't say more, but just gathered the rout with Sun Jian. Fortunately, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others were all safe and sound, and although his baby son Sun Ce was blood-stained and scarred, he also came back alive, which made Sun Jian's mood much better.

Sun Jian was defeated, and the camp was burned by Li Su. Fortunately, his own men and horses still gathered more than 6,000, so together with Zhao Yun, they retreated ten miles and set up camp. Sun Jian felt the low morale on the one hand, and sent someone to report Yuan Shao quickly.

That Yuan Shao was still immersed in the joy of Sun Jian's killing of Hu Zhen, but he didn't expect that only a few days later, Sun Jian was defeated by Hua Xiong, I didn't expect a Hua Xiong to be so powerful, even the Jiangdong Tigers were not opponents? However, when he saw that there was a problem with the military rations, Yuan Shao didn't feel strange. Gao Ye always said that "people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic", although it is vulgar, but it is very reasonable. Sun Jian's men and horses were already small, and it was a tough battle, and now he lacked food and grass, so he would feel strange if he won! This Yuan Shu is causing trouble for himself again!

Yuan Shao complained and complained, but he still hurriedly summoned everyone and came to discuss. Everyone had already entered the account, Gongsun Chan came a little late, and Gao Ye was the last person to come in. It's just that as soon as Gao Ye walked into the big tent, he saw Liu Bei and a few people standing behind Gongsun Zhan, and he couldn't help but be stunned. I was still looking for Liu Bei a few days ago, but there were too many things that happened later, so I forgot about it, but I didn't expect Gongsun Zan to be interested today, and actually brought Liu Bei here, is it to bring him to see the world?

Gao Ye was surprised, and still greeted Liu Guanzhang and the three of them very cordially. Liu Guan and Zhang saw Gao Ye, and the three of them were naturally very affectionate, especially Zhang Fei, who had a loud voice, and I couldn't wait for the whole camp to know that Gao Ye and several of them were friends.

"Mingxi, do you recognize these people?"

"Ah, exactly, when the Yellow Turban in Youzhou was pacified, there were a few more people to help. This person is Liu Bei Liu Xuande, after King Jing of Zhongshan, and now ...... Xuande, what is your official position now? ”

"In the next order, it was the plain order, and now that I have the opportunity to serve the country, I gave up that official position, followed Senior Brother Boqi, and became a master bookkeeper."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, although this person has a small official position, he is a member of the Han family. I think that Liu Biao and Liu Yan are all feudal officials, but they don't come to beg for thieves. On the contrary, it is this Liu Bei, who is just a county order, but he is full of loyalty, especially without roots and foundations, but he is an object that can be wooed. Then he smiled and said: "Since you are a member of the Han family, you can have a place." I don't respect your name, I respect you as the ear of the emperor's family. ”

Liu Bei naturally thanked him repeatedly, and even Gongsun Zhan was full of smiles. Gao Ye greeted them, and then sat down in his seat, Yuan Shao saw that everyone had arrived, so he spoke: "The day before yesterday, Bao Zhong marched without authorization, so that the army was defeated, and now Sun Wentai is also defeated by Huaxiong, which frustrates our spirit, so what can I do!" ”

"I don't know how Sun Wentai was defeated by Huaxiong?" Cao Cao couldn't help asking.

Yuan Shao then told everyone about Sun Jian's military report, only saying that Hua Xiong used tricks to sneak attack at night, and attacked back and forth, so that Sun Jian could not form an army, if he hadn't met Zhao Yun, the pioneer sent by Gao Ye, I was afraid that he would have died on the battlefield. As soon as these words were finished, everyone looked at Gao Ye, because when Gao Ye asked for help a few days ago and asked Zhao Yun to help Sun Jian, everyone thought it was a superfluous move, but they didn't expect it to really come in handy!

Seeing this scene, Gao Ye couldn't help coughing and said: "I just thought that Sun Wentai was quite laborious to attack Bishui, so I asked Zhao Yun to help him, but I didn't expect to save him." Gao Ye explained as he rubbed his nose. Guo Jia behind Gao Ye, seeing Gao Ye like this, knew that Gao Ye was talking nonsense, more than ten years of classmates and life, where would he not know Gao Ye's little habits? Even the little maid in Gao Ye can figure out with her heart, a demon like Guo Jia can't be guessed in minutes.

Gao Ye finished explaining, but said with a smile: "Sun Wentai is already short of manpower, and now the army is defeated, it is not surprising. Since he is defeated, we will go directly to the water. No matter how powerful Hua Xiong is, can he still stop us heroes from all walks of life! ”
