Chapter 66: Hua Xiong is here
On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, it was also the period of the alliance of the Kwantung princes, and Hua Xiong, who was idle in the Tiger Prison Pass and had nothing to do, was startled by the drum sound from the sour dates. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Many generals and colonels of the Xiliang Army thought that this might be a signal for the offensive of the Guanxi Army.
But Hua Xiong was happy.
When I was worried about itching my hands, I didn't expect that the Kwantung princes would really ally ally.
Hua Xiong even raised an army of 50,000 troops, exhausted his generals, and drove to the city of Sujube to fight; Only Xu Rong, who was less powerful, was left behind, with thousands of foot soldiers, guarding the empty tiger prison pass.
Hua Xiong was not worried that the alliance of princes would take advantage of the situation to sneak attack the Tiger Prison Pass.
You must know that the Kwantung princes will only ally today, and no matter how you say it, it will not be until tomorrow that it is possible for the army to leave the camp and attack in the direction of the Tiger Pass.
And Hua Xiong also fought this time difference, wanting to take advantage of the fact that the Kwantung princes had just formed an alliance and their strength had not yet been softened together, to test their hypocrisy.
Taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Kwantung princes, if he can defeat them in one fell swoop, he Huaxiong will be able to make a great achievement. Even if Dong Xiangguo wants to make Lu Bu his heir, he can't ignore his Huaxiong's credit!
Hua Xiong still didn't believe it, the princes who had just joined the alliance would dare to go out of the city to fight him in the field now!
……
The distance between Tiger Prison Pass and sour jujube is more than 100 miles.
Most of the Western Liang army were cavalry, and a small number of foot soldiers were also thrown to Xu Rong by Hua Xiong, so that they could defend the Tiger Pass.
For Xiliang Tieqi, the journey of more than 100 miles is a matter of more than two hours.
Therefore, when the princes of Kwantung had just decided on the vanguard candidates, and were still drinking and watching songs and dances in the big tent of the Chinese army, Huaxiong's army of 50,000 drove to the foot of Sour Zao City.
About five miles away from the sour jujube, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry set up a position, and the five thousand generals were also divided into multiple phalanxes.
The purpose of such an arrangement was to prevent the Kwantung princes from not paying attention to their principles and rushing out in a scuffle.
If the Kwantung princes really rushed out, the distance of five miles would be enough for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to charge.
Once the Xiliang Iron Cavalry charges, even if the Kwantung Coalition Army has more than 400,000, it will still be a meat paste under the iron hoof.
Fifty thousand iron cavalry charged, even tens of thousands of generals, and they didn't dare to block it head-on!
As for dividing the 5,000 generals into several phalanxes, it was not for the purpose of killing and injuring the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the coalition army; Their main goal is to deal with those super-powerful Kwantung generals who are likely to rush out.
Of course, if he can easily kill a prince, Hua Xiong will wake up laughing in his dreams.
After the army took up its position, Hua Xiong took more than a dozen generals such as Fan Chou and Zhang Xiu to the edge of a thousand steps away from Suojube City, beating drums and fighting.
This distance is exactly the edge of the attack of most spells. If the coalition forces on the city wall did not pay attention to principles and used spells to bombard them without saying a word, Hua Xiong and they only needed to take a few steps back to retreat a thousand steps away.
……
Hua Xiong's three-way drum overturned many people in the big tent of the coalition army.
The princes who were drinking and farting in the tent, no one would have thought that the army of the Dong Demon King would come so quickly.
As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao was a little panicked, but there was nothing abnormal. If it weren't for Hao Meng's closeness, he wouldn't have seen the wine bottle in Yuan Meng's hand, and a lot of wine had already been spilled.
Yuan Shao is not bad, those princes who are not very strong themselves, their tables are almost messy.
Among the princes present, most of them had nothing to do with Dong Demon King, but the prestige of Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang Army had already formed a terrifying shadow in their hearts.
Hao Meng was also slightly stunned when he heard the sound of drums; He didn't expect that history had gone so badly, but there were still people like in the romance, who came to challenge at the moment of the alliance of princes.
Hao Meng drank the wine in the cup and said with a playful smile: "Unexpectedly, Hua Xiong is still here!" ”
In the messy tent, Hao Meng's words, except for Li Chou and Dian Wei and others, who heard it for unknown reasons, only Xun Yu and Cao Cao, who had sharp ears, heard it.
"How did Brother Yi Xing know that it was Huaxiong who came?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.
To say that there are so many princes present, there may be only one Cao Cao, who is not very afraid of Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang army.
In the days when Luoyang succumbed to the thief, Cao Cao had already figured out Dong Zhuo's reality and reality.
Dong Zhuo seems to have more than 100,000 troops, but most of his military power is in the hands of the generals under his command, and there are only a dozen strong generals.
As long as you can kill the powerful generals under Dong Zhuo, or kill Dong Zhuo himself, the Xiliang Army will definitely disappear.
Those generals who hold military power, in order to compete for the inheritance of Dong Demon King, but no one is convinced.
Dong Demon King is still there, and he can still suppress these arrogant generals, once Dong Zhuo is dead, the Xiliang Army can not fight among themselves, and those generals are still a little sensible!
Therefore, among so many princes in the big tent, it is estimated that only Cao Cao is quite calm and can talk and laugh freely.
……
Hao Meng said with a smile: "If Dong Zhuo comes in person, he will definitely not wait for the Kwantung princes to meet and will sweep away the sour dates." ”
"Since the Kwantung princes have successfully joined the alliance, the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass are definitely not Dong Zhuo's headquarters."
"Since Dong Zhuo is still staying in Luoyang, Lu Bu must be escorted by him. Although Ma Teng surrendered to Dong Zhuo, he may not be able to gain Dong Zhuo's trust, so it is impossible for Ma Teng to come to guard the Tiger Prison. ”
"In addition, the only cronies and generals under Dong Zhuo's command who can handle it are Uncle Zhang Ji and the two, as well as Hua Xiong, Niu Fu, Li Dao and Guo Yan."
"Among these people, except for Zhang Xiu, the other four are still brave, but they are not as good as Huaxiong."
"I once heard that Hua Xiong, whether in terms of identity or his strength as a military general, can compete with Lu Bu for a long time."
"In the face of the coalition army of the princes of the Eighteenth Route of Kwantung, Dong Zhuo can't come in person, so he has to send a good military general with good strength to come to guard the town."
Hearing this, Xun Yu and Caicheng looked at each other and smiled; Obviously, Hao Meng's analysis is deeply in line with the ideas of these two.
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Yes, there are many generals under Dong Zhuo's command, such as Li Chou and Xu Chu, but there are only three cronies: Lu Bu, Hua Xiong and Zhang Xiu. ”
"Even Li Dao and Guo Yan are much worse than them!"
"And Lu Bu wants to escort Dong Zhuo with him, Zhang Xiu is too young and immature to convince the public, and Hua Xiong can only lead the team to guard the Tiger Prison."
……
While speaking, the princes in the big tent finally calmed down, and Yuan Shao also took out the momentum of being the leader of the alliance, and said loudly: "Everyone, we just met the alliance today, and someone under Dong Zhuo came to challenge, let's go to the city tower together to see who is so arrogant!" ”
Just now, Yuan Mengzhu had already communicated with Xu You, and they also understood that it must not be Dong Zhuo himself who came to challenge.
However, Xu You and Yuan Shao didn't know the reality of Dong Zhuo's command, and they didn't know which fierce man came to challenge!
