Sun Jian led the men and horses into the territory of Jiangxia, just after walking more than five miles, he saw a burst of smoke and dust in front of him, there was already a sentry horse to report, the Jingzhou army blocked the way, Sun Jian looked left and right, and said: "The thieves are coming so fast, go, go to the front and have a look." ”

The three armies swarmed forward and lined up in formation, and Sun Jian led Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others to come out of the crowd and shouted: "Who are you waiting for, how dare you block the way of my army, get out of the way quickly, and avoid unwarranted disasters." ”

Under the banner of the Jingzhou military gate on the opposite side, there were also a few generals, the first general, carrying an iron gun, pointed at Sun Jian, and shouted: "Listen, according to the order of my lord, no one is allowed to use troops by means of the road, you trample on the wheat field, destroy the wheat seedlings, let it be counted as your ignorance, do not worry about you, persuade you to turn around as soon as possible, otherwise you will not be spared." ”

Sun Jian is the Taishou of Lujiang, how did he not know that Taishou was not a real power figure in Jingzhou, and when he saw that the other party came out to speak, he thought that Jiangxia Taishou was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he couldn't help laughing: "Sun Jian is here, ask you Taishou to come out and answer." ”

Zhang He sneered, and said loudly: "I am Zhang He, the general of Jingzhou, even if I come too defending, I have the final say here, Sun Wentai, my lord knows that you are going to participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo's coalition army, and I don't want to worry about you, if you want to cross the border from here, there is nothing to do, as long as you take off your clothes, armor, swords, guns, and guns, I will treat you as a merchant in transit, and let you wait for yourself." ”

Sun Jian was furious: "Who captured this person with me." ”

When Han Dang heard this, he slapped his horse and danced his sword, rushed forward, and shouted: "Who will fight me to the death." ”

Here, Lei Tong and Wu Lan have recently returned to the army, and they all want to make meritorious contributions, Lei Tong urged his crotch to dismount, rushed out of the formation with a gun, and fought with Han Dang in one place, the two fought for more than ten rounds, Lei Tong gradually lost his strength, Wu Lan and Lei Tong were brothers, seeing that his situation was not good, he shouted, and came out of the horse with a gun to help, over there Zu Mao danced with a double knife, intercepted him, and the four generals caught each other and killed,

Zhang He saw it really in the formation, knowing that Lei Tong was not Han Dang's opponent, afraid that he would kill, and ordered Ming Jin, a gong sounded, Lei Tong and Wu Lan shook a shot, and the double defeat returned to the formation, Han Dang and Zu Mao chased after him, Lei Tong was slow, and saw that Han Dang was caught up, Han Dang shouted, raised his knife and slashed, Lei Tong heard the wind in the back of his head, and turned his body away, Han Dang cut off his helmet with a knife, and slashed on his left arm.

Han Dang was overjoyed when he saw this, he pulled the horse and crossed the knife, turned over and stabbed it according to the thunder copper, but he heard a loud sound of "dang", Han Dang only felt that his arm was numb, but the knife was held up by a big iron halberd, and he couldn't cut it anymore.

It turned out that Dian Wei saw in the battle that his side had already withdrawn his troops, Han Dang and Zu Mao were still chasing and killing behind him, his heart was on fire, he waved his double iron halberd and greeted him, which saved Lei Tong's life.

Han Dang gave it a try, he already knew that Dian Wei was powerful, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he gave up Lei Tong and came to fight Dian Wei, where Zu Mao saw this, he also danced with two knives to help Han Dang, Dian Wei shook his spirit, and he was against the two generals, without fear, and there were already soldiers from the Jingzhou Army who rushed forward and rescued Lei Tong back to his own position.

After fighting for five or six rounds, Han Dang was still able to resist, Zu Mao was already overwhelmed, Huang Gai saw it from behind, raised his double whip and rushed forward, the three surrounded Dian Wei in the middle, Zhang He turned around and ordered the drums to help, and for a while the shouts of killing and the sound of war drums resounded through the world,

Sun Jian was secretly frightened when he saw it from behind, turned his head and asked Cheng Pu, "Who is this yellow-faced man?" ”

Cheng Pu thought for a while and said: "Back to the lord, I have heard that Liu Xin has a pro-army, known as the Flying Tiger, led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and this person makes a pair of big iron halberds, which is very likely to be Dian Wei. ”

Sun Jian gritted his teeth and said: "The three of them still can't fight him, if this person is not removed, it will be a big disaster for a long time, pass on my general order, the three armies will move forward bravely, and you must take his surname." ”

Zhang He had long been paying attention to the movements in Sun Jian's army, and when he heard the war drums beating on the other side, he also pointed the iron gun in his hand at the opposite side and shouted: "Kill." ”

The two dragons swarmed forward, and soon collided together, and in an instant, the shouts of killing, the sonorous sound of weapons colliding, and the screams of dying were all together.

Liu Xin has always opposed the confrontation between the two armies, and first came a military general heads-up, and paid more attention to team combat, however, the general's life is still not affected, and these people under him are always accustomed to choosing the surname heads-up, but when the two armies really fell into a melee, the team combat training of the Jingzhou army showed its effect, Sun Jian ordered the target of the attack to Dian Wei, but the first thing for the Jingzhou army in the case of melee is to protect the main general, which does not need any orders at all, and the usual training has long allowed them to develop a conditioned reflex, Naturally, Dian Wei, Zhang He and others were surrounded, and it was impossible for Sun Jian's soldiers to rush to Dian Wei's side.

And these Jingzhou soldiers are also thirty or fifty people automatically formed a group, each of them has their own duties, there are offensive and defensive, when a soldier stabs out the spear in his hand, there is no need to worry about the attack from the enemy, there are naturally other brothers around him will use shields, knives and guns to help him resist, these are the tacit understanding cultivated in the long-term training that is close to actual combat, and all kinds of actions are almost subconsciously made,

On the other hand, Sun Jian's department, although everyone is brave, all of them are fighting for the first, but they are all fighting for themselves, in the eyes of Zhang He, it is almost like a plate of loose sand, each soldier in the attack, often have to bear attacks from four or five directions, self-care is still too timeless, where there is spare strength to help their comrades-in-arms, the same reason, they do not need to expect to be able to get the support of their comrades-in-arms,

The melee only lasted for a while, Sun Jian's department couldn't resist, this was not an evenly matched fight, and it evolved into a one-sided massacre, although the number of both sides was equal, but in terms of individual combat power, the Jingzhou army was obviously stronger, and when it came to tactical literacy, the two sides were even more heaven and earth,

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Pu grabbed Sun Jian and said, "Lord, go quickly, I'll break the back." ”

Sun Jian turned his horse and walked back, Huang Gai and Han Dang were tightly guarded by the left and right.

Seeing that Sun Jian had left, Zhang He raised the iron spear in his hand upward, and the three armies got the order to quickly force back the Lujiang soldiers and contain the formation.

Dian Wei looked at the Lujiang soldiers who retreated like a tide, and asked puzzledly: "Jun Yi, why don't you chase and kill the past and capture Sun Jian alive." ”

Zhang He shook his head and said: "I also want to catch Sun Jian and make a great achievement, but the lord has a strict order, as long as Sun Jian is driven out of Jingzhou, it is not allowed to be chased and killed. ”

Sun Jian ran all the way under the escort of Huang Gai and others, until more than ten miles in the territory of the Lujiang River to restrain the reins, collect the defeated and disabled military horses, has lost more than 5,000 people, and the generals under him are also wounded, Sun Jian started from the elimination of the Yellow Turban, and has never suffered such a big defeat, and he can't help but sigh at the sky: "I didn't expect Liu Xin to arrange all the elite soldiers in Jiangxia, it seems that he has been on guard against me, I am going to Luoyang, Lujiang must be guarded, and I have to leave more soldiers and horses." ”

Cheng Pu arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the last general has heard that Liu Xin is full of civil and military strength, and he was quite far-sighted when he was young, but he has been greedy for money and lustful in recent years, content with pleasure, and does not want to forge ahead, just now his subordinates should take advantage of the victory to pursue, at that time our army casualties must be more than 5,000, it can be seen that Liu Xin does not want to fight with me, since Jingzhou is not allowed to borrow the road, our army will cross the border from Runan, and it will not take more than a few days." ”

In the end, Sun Jian left 5,000 soldiers and horses, and only brought 10,000 people to Luoyang through Runan.

Knowing that Sun Jian's army had left, Dian Wei also returned to Xiangyang with the seriously injured Lei Tong, Liu Xin arranged for Lei Tong to go to the medical school to recuperate, and on the other hand, he hurried to prepare for the expedition, and the secret reports of the phantom also followed.

First of all, some of the princes of the seventeen towns sent 30,000 troops, and some sent 10,000 troops, and successively threw themselves into Luoyang, and the princes of Cao Ying General Assembly unanimously elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and then, Sun Jian was appointed as the vanguard of the front, and led the army and horses of the headquarters to kill the Bishui Pass east of Luoyang, Bishui Pass, also known as the Tiger Prison Pass, about 30 miles northwest of Xingyang, Dong Zhuo, who got the urgent report, ordered Hua Xiong, Li Su and others to lead the army to the pass to meet the enemy in the starry night, Sun Jian won for a while, and then because of the lack of grain and grass, Hua Xiong took advantage of the night to rob the camp, killed a big defeat, and was injured in Jiangxia, Zu Mao, who had not yet recovered, was also killed by Hua Xiong,

After getting the defeat report, Yuan Shao gathered all the princes to discuss countermeasures, Hua Xiong came to the front of the pass to challenge, and successively beheaded Yu Shi under Yuan Shu and Pan Feng under Han Fu, all the princes were shocked, but Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who were standing behind Gongsun Zhan, secretly sneered,

Seeing this, Yuan Shao asked, "Who is standing behind Gongsun Taishou?" ”

Gongsun Zhan got up and replied, "This is my classmate when I was a teenager, Liu Bei, the commander of Pingyuan County. ”

When the princes heard that Liu Bei was just a county order, their faces showed a look of disdain, Liu Bei didn't care, and gave a salute to the princes, saying: "Although it is only a small county order, it is also a clan relative of the Han family. ”

Gongsun Zhan listened to Liu Bei's words, and was secretly surprised in his heart, he had been friends with him for many years, and he had never heard that he was a member of the Han family, and this guy was still hiding it very deeply.

However, all the princes did not raise objections to Liu Bei's self-proclaimed Han clan relatives, the princes of the whole world, except for Liu Xin, I am afraid that no second person will oppose Liu Xie as the emperor, Liu Xie was born not long ago, his mother Wang Meiren was killed by He Lian, and there is no relative who holds heavy power, unlike Liu Wei, there is the queen mother's regent inside, and there is a general in charge of the army, these princes who raised troops, and a few of them are selfless, they all know that as long as Dong Zhuo is driven away, Liu Xie is just a nine-year-old child, he is the emperor, and he is not a decoration, It's not that they have the final say on big and small things, the princes raised troops, and they fought under the banner of righteousness and annihilation of evil, and now there is the participation of the Han clan in the team, which is even more justifiable, regardless of whether his Han clan is true or false.

The generals of Jingzhou all knew that Liu Xin had plans to send troops to Luoyang, and when they heard about the battle in the Tiger Prison Pass, they all felt itchy and unbearable, and they asked to lead the troops to go out, but Liu Xin had been calm and relaxed, and the troops did not move, until one day, he received the news from the phantom secret spy planted in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo personally raised an army of 200,000 and went to the aid of the Tiger Prison Pass, so he stroked his palms and laughed: "The time has come, convene all the civil and military forces, and discuss the matter in the front hall." ”
