Liu Yi and Sun Jian, intersecting with each other, have a sense of sympathy, and have gotten along well for a while, but they are only friends with each other, and there is no relationship between them.

Sun Jian is also a hero, in his heart, I am afraid that there is no idea of who is the master, he and Liu Yi have intersected, and have always treated each other with an equal attitude, or, he only respects Liu Yi as a person, and treats Liu Yi as an official who works hard for the Han court.

Anyway, Liu Yi didn't see that Sun Jian had the slightest intention of serving himself, and sometimes, Liu Yi even wondered if Sun Jian also wanted Liu Yi to serve him?

To be honest, if Sun Jian really wanted to serve Liu Yi, then he would definitely follow the many meanings that Liu Yi gave him.

For example, when he was in Xiangyang, Sun Jian asked him not to recruit soldiers from Xiangyang and ordinary righteous soldiers to join his army, but Sun Jian did not listen, but instead increased his efforts to expand the army and strengthen his own strength.

How could those Xiangyang sergeants and ordinary righteous soldiers who were newly recruited to become his Sun Jian's army form combat effectiveness in a short period of time? Sun Jian must be very clear about these in his heart, but he still expanded his troops, which proves that Sun Jian is eager to increase his strength, just to crusade against Dong Zhuo? Like now, with an army of 50,000, Sun Jian himself can rest assured, that is, the original 20,000 Changsha soldiers, which can be seen by looking at the sergeants he led to fight.

Knowing that Sun Jian had the idea of supporting the army and being self-reliant, Liu Yi naturally would not be bored and revealed that he had the idea of recruiting Sun Jian. People's strength is no longer under him, why did Liu Yi recruit Sun Jian?

Under the circumstance that Sun Jian is destined to become his subordinate, Liu Yi can only be a good friend of Sun Jian. I hope he can be a help for himself within a certain period of time.

To be honest, if Sun Jian really has the heart or has already expressed his willingness to obey Liu Yi's life and serve Liu Yi from now on, then Liu Yi will naturally not watch Sun Jian's death and help Sun Jian escape death as much as possible. The easiest. If Sun Jian was already Liu Yi's subordinate, then Liu Yi could order Sun Jian to return the jade seal of the heirloom country, and at the same time order him to guard Luoyang, and so on. He would no longer have to pass through the land of Jingzhou, and he would not be ambushed and killed by Liu Biao's army.

However, it is too early to say this, and Liu Yi is just giving Mrs. Wu and Sun Ce a little reminder now, whether he can change Sun Jian's fate depends on his own creation.

Now, it's the end of January. Spring is also a third of the time, but the weather is still a little cold, if it is not for the small grass branches along the road to pull out new shoots, I don't know that it is spring.

Spring is rainy, but fortunately, although there have been dark clouds in recent days, there has been no rain. It also made the sergeant's march a little easier. However, when looking at the sky, it is believed that it will rain soon. Moreover, it is very likely that the spring rain will continue and will be endless.

The march lasted until evening, and finally reached a town, where the general of Sun Jian's army ordered the army to set up camp, make a fire and cook, and set out again tomorrow to follow up.

This town, with its low walls, has been occupied by Sun Jian's vanguard army, and Sun Jian occupies every land. A certain number of sergeants will be left to guard them, and only after the rear army follows up and hands over the control of the town will they catch up with Sun Jian's vanguard again.

When Liu Yi entered the city, he saw some traces of battle, and the city gate had traces of being smashed. There are also new marks on the nearby city wall, and there are also pools of blood on the ground nearby, it is estimated that when Sun Jian captured this small city, there was a battle, the scale was not very large, but the battle should be relatively fierce.

Liu Yi only thought at this time that Sun Jianjun seemed to lack siege equipment, and he didn't know how he attacked the city. After asking someone, I found out that Sun Jian actually used the means of forcible attack to send people to carry a simple ladder and forcibly attack the city wall, defeat the defenders in the city, and then occupy the small city.

In such a strong attack, Sun Jian's army suffered hundreds of casualties, and the defenders of the city suffered only about 300 casualties, most of which were some soldiers killed by the sergeants after Sun Jian captured the small city.

The cost of forcibly attacking the city was too great, and Liu Yi really didn't approve of such a war. Such a small city, occupy and do not hurt the overall situation, when Sun Jianjun arrived, he could ignore it, just leave a small army to contain Dong Zhuojun in the city, so that they dare not abandon the city to attack, and when the army behind arrives, Dong Zhuojun in the city sees that the large army of the allied army is overwhelming, and they can absolutely not hold this small town, perhaps, they can force the town defenders to surrender without a fight. When Liu Yi marched with Sun Jian's army, the allied forces were also preparing to follow and respond, and they were about to set off to kill, and the small towns along the way didn't need to be ignored at all, and the army behind them would naturally swallow it in one bite.

Sun Jian's army attacked and killed all the way, and the places captured along the road should also be garrisoned, waiting for the rear army to arrive, he had 15,000 soldiers and horses, and dozens of towns along the road came down, how many soldiers and horses did he kill under the Bishui Pass?

Liu Yi felt that he had to change Sun Jian's tactics in time.

Liu Yi remembered that if it was correct, after Sun Jian arrived at Bishui Pass, he was defeated in a battle with Huaxiong, and his four generals also lost one person, and he himself was defeated and lost his armor.

The next day, after Liu Yi and Sun Jian were unified, the military generals and Mrs. Wu and Sun Ce took their leave, and led the army to rush Sun Jian in the name of leading the army to support Sun Jian. Who didn't know, Sun Jian attacked in a hurry, and he didn't stop at all, and Liu Yi couldn't catch up for a while. After asking the soldiers who stayed along the way, I found out that Sun Jian saw that the towns along the way were small, so he and his four generals took turns to lead 3,000 troops and horses, and the five routes were divided into troops to attack the towns.

The war became smoother and smoother, and later, the defenders of many towns surrendered without a fight, so that Sun Jian did not stop to rest at all. Chen stayed in Luoyang, there was originally an official road, if it was not another secluded stream, there was no need to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water like ordinary vanguard troops, so that Sun Jian would make such rapid progress.

The defenders of the towns along the road turned out to be officers and soldiers, and there was no Dong Zhuo's descendant sergeant to guard them, and their guards were only given by Dong Zhuo to serve Dong Zhuo, but seeing that Sun Jian's army was strong, the general government guards naturally would not really fight Sun Jian, and it was reasonable to surrender when they heard the wind.

No way, Liu Yi hurriedly asked his own soldiers to chase after him, and asked him to pass the report to Sun Jian for a while. Wait for him to arrive and march forward.

At this time, several days had passed since the day of the army, and it was only a day's journey from Bishui Pass. The soldiers came back to report that Sun Jian had attacked and killed to Bishui Pass, and originally wanted to garrison the army and wait for Liu Yi to come and then send troops to attack the fortification, but Sun Jianjun found that there was a military horse attacking in front of the pass, and was also defeated by Dong Zhuo's army, and Sun Jian had already led the army to support him.

Another army of horses appeared in front of the Bishui Pass to attack? When Liu Yi heard the news, he couldn't help but have a sudden, and he didn't remember for a while that there was such an episode when the allies attacked Bishui Pass.

It turned out to be one of the princes of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin. When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he advised Yuan Kui to get up early to kill Dong Zhuo, but Yuan Kui hesitated, so he led his troops to Jibei. Bao Xin was played as the prime minister of Jibei.

After Bao Xin dominated the land, his ambitions also swelled, and he participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo this time. Seeing that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, who was also the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, was the leader of the coalition forces, and the other was the general counselor of the allied forces, their status among the allies was far above his Bao Xin. In terms of prestige and status, he has fallen far behind these people.

He originally intended to be a pioneer and wanted to show his authority in front of the world's heroes, but he was preempted by Sun Jian. Seeing that Sun Jian was like a bamboo all the way, attacking the city and plundering the village, and sending the good news documents back to the Allied Headquarters one by one, he felt that Dong Zhuojun was just like this, and he couldn't help but have an idea of snatching the credit.

He pondered. This time, Sun Jian was the vanguard, and finally attacked the end point of Bishui Pass, and waited for most of the allied forces to arrive before they captured the Tiger Prison Pass together. So, why didn't he take the first step to capture Bishui Pass, so that he could show his prestige in front of the princes? Moreover, the probe has already been probed. Dong Zhuo has sent a large army to fight with the allies, and the guard general stationed in Bishui Pass is Hua Xiong, who was once known as the first fierce general under Dong Zhuo, if he Bao Xin can kill Hua Xiong, then who in the world dares to despise him?

Therefore, he ordered his brother Bao Zhong to lead the horse infantry army of 3,000, take shortcuts, avoid the connection with Sun Jianjun, and rush to the water pass.

On this day, Bao Zhong led the army to the bottom of Bishui Pass, and the sergeant faced the cold and light rain that fell suddenly, deployed his troops in front of the pass, and then fought against the defenders of Bishui Pass.

Bao Zhong's 3,000 military horses, most of them are the sergeants of the original Eighth Captain of the West Garden, and the number of them are also elite troops. However, these 3,000 military horses rushed all the way, and they took a shortcut to climb the mountains and crossed the collar, braving the cold and drizzle to rush to the bottom of the Bishui Pass, the sergeant was already exhausted, it stands to reason, Bao Zhong should first hide in the dense forest outside the Bishui Pass to rest for a while, and wait for the sergeant's combat strength to recover, and it is not too late to fight again in the coming day, but he saw that Sun Jian's army was also about to attack and kill the Bishui Pass, and he was eager to grab the merit, so he actually fought with a tired army.

Hua Xiong, who led the army to Bishui Pass, had also arrived some time early, and the whole army was recuperating and waiting for the arrival of the Allied army. Hearing that there were military horses killed in the battle, Hua Xiong put on armor and went to the city to observe the invading army.

When he saw that the troops under the pass were drenched in the rain like chickens in soup, although they lined up in front of the pass, the spirit of the sergeants was not lifted, and they were even a little sluggish. Hua Xiong, who has led the army all year round, how rich is his combat experience? As soon as he saw the invading army in such a spirited state, he knew that he could be defeated. At that moment, he personally led 500 cavalry to open and close the door and kill the pass.

And Bao Xin, seeing that the guard general Hua Xiongzhen led the army out of the pass, and there were not many troops introduced, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that the first merit was in sight, and he hit his horse and waved the army to meet the battle.

Hua Xiong did not talk much to the invading army, slapped his horse and raised his sword, and five hundred cavalry followed and killed.

Suddenly, the two armies fought together, but as soon as they came into contact, the victory and defeat were clear. The army led by Bao Xin had a natural disadvantage in the face of cavalry, and his sergeants were also tired, so as soon as the battle was engaged, Huaxiong's 500 cavalry broke through the battle formation and rushed straight into the army.

Bao Xin's light army came, the sergeants lacked the ordnance equipment to resist the cavalry head-on, the soldiers in the army had few weapons, and there were no large arrays of spears, although many sergeants had bows and arrows, but the cavalry horses were fast, and under the condition that they failed to form a salvo to suppress the cavalry charge, it was inevitable that they would be killed by the cavalry into the formation.

Between the roar of hooves, the shouts of killing suddenly sounded, and the swords and guns were fierce, and the screams were repeated.

In just a short period of time, Bao Xin's military formation was killed by Hua Xiongchong, and he forcibly killed a flesh and blood road.

Hua Xiong, nine feet long, tiger body and wolf waist, leopard head and ape arms, martial arts. Dong Zhuo's subordinates have many capable people, and there are now hundreds of thousands of troops, and Huaxiong was before Lu Buwei voted for Dong Zhuo. is faintly the first fierce general under Dong Zhuo's account, this first is not blown out, but a name that has been broken out after many battles.

So. Such a tiger and wolf general, how can he be the enemy of Bao Xin's brother? The funny thing is that Bao Zhong saw that the army was overturned by Huaxiong and suffered heavy losses, and the sergeants were shocked, and there was a rout. thought that as long as the enemy's main general was killed, the battle could be won, and it was possible to enter the pass in one fell swoop and capture the pass.

However, when he rushed close to Hua Xiong, he saw Hua Xiong's big knife flying up and down, and the murderous aura emitted by the sword light made him feel shocked. Especially when he saw Hua Xiong break his drink, several sergeants who stepped forward to attack him were cut off by Hua Xiong's heads. Blood sprayed all over the sky.

Seeing Hua Xiong so brave, Bao Zhong suddenly felt cold, and he wanted to avoid Hua Xiong and dare not fight again.

But Hua Xiong saw him and knew that he was the main general of the attack, he glared at him, slapped his horse in pursuit, and shouted: "The thief will leave!" ”

Hua Xiong's horse was fast, and Bao Zhong didn't have time to turn the horse's head before he screamed. was slashed by Hua Xiong under the horse.

As soon as the main general Bao Zhong died, the remaining sergeants were immediately defeated, screaming and fleeing in all directions, and those who did not have time to escape were beheaded or captured by the Huaxiong army, and there were many generals and colonels captured.

Bao Zhong's defeat was too fast. When Sun Jian led the army to kill in front of the Bishui Pass, there were only corpses left in front of the pass, and the beach was washed away by the rain.

"Hateful! Annoying! Sun Jian saw that the Allied soldiers were beheaded and the tragic situation of the corpse in front of the pass aroused his fierceness, and he angrily slapped his horse to the front of the pass to call for battle.

Hua Xiong had just won a while, and when he returned to the pass in victory, he heard that another allied army was calling for battle, and he went to the pass to look again.

Sun Jian, Hua Xiong knew him when he was in Xiliang, and he knew Sun Jian's courage at that time, but he was not afraid of Sun Jian, but he had just fought for a while, although it was easy, but he also lost a lot of body. He saw that Sun Jian's army did not have many horses, but only 10,000, and most of them were infantry, so he could fight with one of them, so as to frustrate the spirit of Sun Jian's army, he immediately ordered Hu Zhen, the deputy general, to lead an army of 5,000 cavalry to fight.

Hu Zhen, a talented man of letters, is also one of the generals relied on by Dong Zhuo, and is one of the five major generals under Dong Zhuo. He was appointed by Dong Zhuo as the commander of Dongjun (the commander of the soldiers and horses in all towns east of Luoyang), and the military horses including Tiger Prison and Bishui Pass were under his control, but Huaxiong was the chief general of Bishui Pass ordered by Dong Zhuo, so Hu Zhen could only serve as Huaxiong's deputy general in Bishui Pass.

Historically, there are two different accounts of Hu Zhen, one is that he was killed by Sun Jian's general Cheng Pu at Bishui Pass, and the other is that he did not die and fled with Lu Bu, and Dong Zhuo voted for Wang Yun after his death, and then voted for Li Dao. Well, what his final result was, there is no more account, but from these accounts, it can be seen that Hu Zhen is not the kind of person who has no plans, but a treacherous and ghost-like guy, how can such a guy be killed lightly? If he didn't have some talent or some life-saving skills, how could Dong Zhuo reuse him as the commander of Dongjun?

When he received Hua Xiong's order, he wondered in his heart, Hua Xiong had a lot of lieutenant generals, why did he want him to lead the army? As the commander of the Eastern County, he is ranked by seniority, and he can't be ranked as the commander of the Eastern County to go out to fight, unless he asks for the war himself, how dare ordinary people push him to the front line? His position in the army is hidden above Hua Xiong, probably for this reason, Hua Xiong is suspicious of him, and orders him to fight, and he can win, if he loses, then Hua Xiong will embarrass him for many reasons, and if he dies in battle, Hua Xiong may be happier.

There are many generals under Dong Zhuo's account, and the dragons and snakes are mixed, some are from the Han generals, and some are from the Hu generals, and the ingredients in the Hu generals are also very complicated, because they come from different tribes, and they may have fought and grudges against each other before, if they were not subdued by Dong Zhuo, they are afraid that they will not come together.

Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong have fought against each other before, and they have grudges.

However, after the military order was issued, Hu Zhen had no choice but to obey the order, but he already had a plan in his heart.

Leading the army to fight, Sun Jian's general Cheng Pu Pegasus raised his spear, and fought with Hu Zhen, but the fight was not enough, Hu Zhen suddenly showed a flaw, was stabbed by Cheng Pu, and seemed to fall off the horse, but he was actually hiding in the belly of the horse, and he fled after hitting the horse.

Hu Zhen also grew up on horseback, and he was skilled in bowing horses, and he still had a few tricks. He didn't go back to the pass, but fled straight to the dense forest on the side, and the natural sergeant feinted to follow, he knew that if he returned to Bishui Pass, he would inevitably be embarrassed by Hua Xiong, so he simply feinted defeat and fled back to the Tiger Prison Pass to report to Lu Bu.

Of course, in the battle with Cheng Pu, he found that Sun Jian's army was not like the original allied army, Sun Jian's army was full of fighting spirit, the army was condensed but not dispersed, the spearmen and archers were ready for battle, and the strength was almost half more than his 5,000 cavalry. In addition, Sun Jian's army commander is powerful, he knows that he is not Cheng Pu's enemy, and the generals and soldiers are not as good as others, how to fight this battle? Even if their cavalry has a great advantage, but once they charge into battle, it will definitely not be as easy as Huaxiong's charge, five thousand military horses, I am afraid that a small half of them will be damaged before they rush to Sun Jianjun, how can Hu Zhen fight such a battle?

Sun Jian saw that Dong Zhuo's army was defeated and retreated, that is, he waved his army to kill, but the defeated army was cavalry, and he couldn't pursue it, so he had to kill before the city pass, but the arrow was like rain on the pass, and Sun Jian's army was shot back. Helpless, Sun Jian could only temporarily withdraw his troops and lead the army back to camp for more than 20 miles.

Bishui Pass is not like an ordinary town, its city is ten zhang high, a word crosses, blocking the way of the army, the left and right cliffs, difficult to climb, and there are defenders on the mountain. Seeing that Dong Zhuo's army was defeated and retreated thousands of military horses, but the banners were dense in the pass, the sergeants were arrogant, and I didn't know how many military horses there were in the pass, and Sun Jian's army had no siege equipment, so it was difficult to attack the city, so he could only retreat first and then make plans.

After Sun Jian settled down, he sent people to report to the alliance leader Yuan Shao, who had killed under the Bishui Pass, and asked the main force of the allied army to come as soon as possible, and carry siege equipment, and as soon as the siege equipment arrived, he could launch an attack on Bishui Pass. At the same time, he also urged Yuan Shu, the superintendent of grain, to urge grain and grass.

Sun Jianjun's lack of food is still inevitable.

It is conceivable that Sun Jianjun rushed all the way, and he could not be like Dong Zhuojun in the towns he passed, looting and plundering military rations along the way. He marched in a hurry, and it was difficult for Liu Yi to catch up with him all the way, so the grain transportation army in charge of Yuan Shu was even slower to deliver the grain and grass. Besides, the grain and grass distributed to Sun Jianjun were not delivered at all.

It turned out that Yuan Shu and Sun Jian were unhappy as soon as they met, and he naturally held a grudge because of his very small heart, and besides, seeing Sun Jian and Liu Yi walking very closely, the humiliation that Liu Yi inflicted on him made him unforgettable, so he hated Liu Yi and Sun Jian as well.

Also, the place he is now leading is Jiangdong, but Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, and if he wants to occupy Jiangdong forever, he will suppress Sun Jian. Because who knows if Sun Jian will return to Jiangdong for development? Jiang Le is Sun Jian's hometown, the place of origin, if Sun Jian returns to Jiangdong, how can he Yuan Shu suppress Sun Jian? Now, Sun Jian already has a strength no less than his Yuan Shu, if Sun Jian breaks Luoyang and kills Dong Zhuo, then Sun Jian will be even more arrogant, and Yan Zhan will threaten his Yuan Shu's status in Jiangdong.

There are also advisers under his command who persuade Yuan Shu, why not continue to give Sun Jian's army food and grass, so that his army will scatter in confusion? Yuan Shu thought so deeply that even though he privately withheld the grain and grass for Sun Jianjun, he did not send it out.

Sun Jianjun only brought ten days of military rations, and they were almost consumed at the moment, and they came to escort grain and grass from the Allied Headquarters, not to mention that it would take several days, and they had not yet been sent, Sun Jian immediately sent someone to urge, this time and again, even if Yuan Shu sent the military rations, but at this time, I am afraid that there will be no ten days to send the food. Ten days later, Sun Jianjun's sergeants were afraid that they had all starved to death.

At this moment, when Sun Jian's army was camped to make a fire, he found that there was a shortage of food and grass, and another day he marched to kill the sergeant under the Bishui Pass. However, once the sergeant complains, it will cause a negative mentality, which will have a great impact on the morale of the sergeant.

Fortunately, Liu Yi led his headquarters of 2,000 military horses to arrive in the evening, and after seeing Sun Jian, he learned that Sun Jian's army was short of food, so he took out the military rations brought by his 2,000 military horses first and supplied them to Sun Jianjun, so that the soldiers could eat and drink to stabilize the sergeants.

Only a guy like Sun Jian, who is anxious and righteous, will cause a shortage of food in the army, and there are more than ten princes in the world, who will really hand over all his military rations to the allies like Sun Jian? Who didn't leave a certain amount of military rations privately, Liu Yi couldn't stop it at the beginning, after all, as soon as Sun Jian gave an order, the sergeants below handed over all the grain. In this regard, Liu Yi was also speechless at that time. (To be continued......)
