A large group of panicked soldiers rushed into Li Su's zero-hour residence, lifted Hua Xiong, who they had carried off the red rabbit horse, and shouted: "Oh no, General Hua Xiong was defeated by a red-faced man of the enemy army and returned with serious injuries. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What!"

Li Su hurried out of the house, and what came into view was Hua Xiong, who was surrounded by everyone among the soldiers of the Xiliang Army.

Li Su looked at him in disbelief, his hands were full of open wounds, blood flowed, a huge cut on his shoulder almost cut off his entire right arm, and the entire armor was almost soaked in blood, and at this moment it had become a blood-colored scab on the armor.

"Quick! Hurry up and send General Hua in and ask the doctor to come over. ”

Li Su quickly arranged for these sergeants, and then he did not stay here, but immediately found a fast horse, hurried to the council hall, and summoned all the generals to come to the meeting.

Li Su's words were very fast, and one by one orders passed from his mouth to the ears of the generals, and even if they were said one by one, by the time the meeting was over, almost half an hour had passed.

At the end of the meeting, Li Su walked out of the conference hall and began to rush back to his residence to visit Hua Xiong again, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and let out a breath.

Hua Xiong was seriously injured and didn't know if he had come to his senses, at this time the enemy army was bound to attack in a big way, at this time he was the only one who could lead the army, things were too urgent, too many things were piled up in front of him and were waiting for him to do it, it was necessary to arrange some preparations for the sergeant to deal with the enemy siege, and the battle situation of Hua Xiong's injury to Luoyang must also be sent in time, and the big war is imminent, and all the military preparations must be arranged one by one, and there is no exquisite design arranged by Li Su for everyone, It's just the normal arrangement before the battle for many years, but it's also something that must be arranged in advance, the sooner the better, so he didn't have time to wait for Hua Xiong to recover and left in a hurry, just waiting for everything to be arranged, and then he returned to Hua Xiong to take a look.

Li Su walked into the bedroom and asked the doctor waiting here about his condition.

The doctor replied: "There is no major danger to life, but it will take time for a few wounds to heal, plus the general has exerted too much force this time, I am afraid that he will need to rest for a long time. ”

"yes, I see." Li Su said to the doctor, "It's hard work, please go and rest." ”

After Li Su finished speaking, he sent the doctor away, gently pushed Hua Xiong's door open, and walked to Hua Xiong's bedside.

Hua Xiong's uniform had been changed at this time, and he was lying on the bed in a white robe.

Li Su leaned closer to Hua Xiong, shouting his name while gently pushing his body.

"Bosheng?"

"Bosheng?"

Hua Xiong didn't have any reaction, Li Su also knew that Hua Xiong's coma at this time was the body's self-protection for himself, and when Hua Xiong's body recovered to a certain extent, he would naturally wake up, but Li Su couldn't wait for that time, the military situation was urgent, even a delay of one more second would lead to the collapse of the whole army, and Hua Xiong could not be allowed to rest anymore, he had to wake up.

Li Su forced himself to wake Hua Xiong up, and began to exert more force in his hands, Hua Xiong's body shook more and more, and the wound on his shoulder was torn open again.

"Shhhh

Hua Xiong suddenly felt a heart-rending pain in his shoulder, and suddenly woke up, his eyes were foggy and he only watched a figure swaying in front of him, and asked in a weak voice, "Who is here?" ”

Li Su was overjoyed when he saw Hua Xiong wake up, and replied, "Bosheng, I am Li Su." ”

Hua Xiong's voice was still very weak, and he said, "It turned out to be Wei Gong, so I didn't die......

"No, no, I heard that the soldiers said that General Lu Bu's red rabbit horse sent you back."

"Ah......" Hua Xiong sighed weakly, "Sure enough, in the end, I still relied on the Red Rabbit Horse, it seems that I owe General Lu a life." ”

Li Su was anxious about the information on the battlefield at that time, and hurriedly asked Hua Xiong: "The soldier said that it was a red-faced man who defeated you, do you know who that person's surname is, and who are the soldiers and horses along the way?" ”

"That person's name is Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, he said that he was from Hedong, I don't know who he is."

"Not good!" Hua Xiong's originally slow tone suddenly became urgent, and he said in a panic, "When the coalition forces see that I am seriously injured and return, they will definitely attack in a big way, so we must prepare early!" ”

"Heh, it's okay, I've already asked someone to arrange it." Li Su hurriedly comforted Hua Xiongdao.

Hua Xiong was still not at ease, and asked, "Do you arrange troops and horses outside the gate to contain you?" ”

Li Su smiled bitterly: "It's too late, I'm afraid that at this time, all the strongholds outside the pass have been occupied by the enemy." ”

"Then who will lead the troops to resist the enemy in front of the pass?"

Li Su smiled bitterly again: "No one." ”

"This, ah!" Hua Xiong wanted to sit up excitedly, but his wound was touched, "How can this work?" Although the Bishui Pass is strong, but the outside of the pass is open, the course of the big river is far away in the north of the pass, and the mountain is only just stopped from the tiger prison to the Bishui Pass, there is no mountain outside the pass, it can be said that the enemy army can attack the city from any angle in front of the pass, if there is no soldier and horse outside the pass to resist the enemy, this battle will be defeated. ”

Li Su said to Hua Xiong with some reluctance: "This battle has been lost, and the whole army can no longer find a general who can lead the army out of the city instead of you, even if there is, how can you be beheaded by that Guan Yu again?" All we can do is to defend the pass, I have already sent someone to inform the Taishi of the current situation, and should order us to withdraw from the army, now we only need to hold on for three days. ”

"......" Huaxiong didn't speak for a long time, he was not used to failure, and it took some time to get used to.

After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said to Li Su: "Then guard, arrange all the sergeants to the city wall, there must be people on each section of the city wall, the archers are no longer located on both sides, arrange their positions in the second column, I hope this can help, but ...... Can it really hold on for three days? There are so many enemy troops that I might ...... command."

In the last sentence, he said that he was a little weak-minded, what if he was in command, could the strength of the coalition army be reduced by dozens of times?

Li Su didn't answer Hua Xiong, but just said to him: "You are not allowed to do anything in the past few days, you are not allowed to go anywhere, and after recovering your body, maybe you will still be able to play on the last day, even if you can only throw stones like an ordinary soldier." ”

After speaking, Li Su turned around and left, plunging into the complicated preparations.

In the camp of the coalition army, soldiers and horses from all walks of life have occupied the small villages and towns near Bishui Pass one after another, and are returning to the camp to wait for the assembly and soldiers and horses to kill at Bishui Pass.

"Hahahaha," Yuan Shao looked at the battle reports sent back by the soldiers and horses from all walks of life with satisfaction, "The thief army in Bishui Pass really didn't send troops to rescue those strongholds, it seems that the enemy army in the city was indeed held back by Hua Xiong's injuries." ”

Guan Yu sat on the seat and listened to Yuan Shao's battle report, a pair of Danfeng eyes narrowed slenderly, thinking in his heart that no one could see, at this time he could already sit down with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, without standing behind Gongsun Chan like before, Yuan Shao looked at Guan Yu with appreciation, and said: "If this battle is won, Yun Chang should remember the first credit." ”

Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "The alliance leader has a reputation. ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "When the time comes, Yun Chang should not forget the glass of water and wine from Cao Mou before, and it will be repaid a hundred times by then!" Hahahaha......"

Guan Yu smiled: "Definitely." ”

"Good!" Yuan Shao shouted, "On the day of the city's break, the whole army celebrated and held a banquet, and everyone went out with me. ”

Everyone got up one after another, ordered all the troops and horses, and drove to Bishui Pass.

Tiger Prison Pass, in the chamber.

Lu Bu was sitting in the lobby and discussing preparations for war with Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals, after all, this operation is very important, and Bishui Pass will be lost sooner or later, basically it can be said that the decisive battle between the two sides will be carried out in the Tiger Prison Pass, so Lu Bu and the three of them did not have the heart to play every day, they gathered together every day to study the battle, guessing all kinds of possibilities, and almost deduced the methods of the enemy's various formations, various strategies, and countermeasures.

"Hou Wen, there is a battle report from Bishui Pass."

A herald walked in and reported to Lu Bu.

"Read." Lu Budao.

"Yes." The herald read, "General Huaxiong led his troops to fight with the Eighteenth Route Coalition Army in front of the battle, beheaded two generals of the coalition army, and then was defeated by a red-faced general called Guan Yu, and returned with serious injuries. ”

"Hua Xiong is not dead." Lu Bu and Zhang Liao Gaoshun looked at each other and smiled, "It seems that my Chitu is still helpful." ”

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "And Hua Xiong and that Guan Yu also had a fight, although he lost to Guan Yu, but after he recovers, his force will definitely be able to reach a new level." ”

"Actually, Guan Yu's force is not very good!" Gao Shun pursed his mouth after analyzing it, "It's just that you can beat Hua Xiong to a serious injury, although it may be a little difficult to have the help of Chitu, but if Xiao Bu plays, the first one to take a look at Hua Xiong can kill Hua Xiong in seconds." ”

Lu Bu smiled, did not take Gao Shun's words, and said to the person who came to give the order: "Okay, we already know, now rush to Luoyang to present this battle report to Dong Taishi as it is, and ask him to show how to decide." ”

Zhang Liao is not like Lu Bu, although he has always been calm on weekdays, but he is always full of interest in Gao Shun's affairs, and he refuted Gao Shun's inference just now: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, no one can say what the specific situation was at that time, maybe Hua Xiong's strength suddenly increased greatly, and maybe Guan Yu deliberately left his hand, if you want to analyze Guan Yu's force from this battle report, it is simply naïve." ”

Gao Shun looked at Zhang Liao with a dark face.

"But ......" Zhang Liao said to Lu Bu, "What Ah Shun said also makes sense, at this time, the force of Guan Yu and others may not be as good as we imagined at the beginning, after all, the growth of a general needs to be tempered thousands of times in the battlefield, Liu Guanzhang and the three of them have only participated in the battle to pacify the Yellow Turban, and there may be other small-scale battles but the improvement is always not large, I believe that they are just beginning to rise now, and their abilities are also improving, and they have not reached the peak, or even mature." ”

Zhang Liao's words were of course analyzed for Lu Bu, after all, if nothing else, in a few days, Lu Bu will face the attack of all the generals of the entire coalition army under the Tiger Prison Pass, and among them, the highest threat to him is Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

As soon as the herald came out of the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuojun on the Bishui Pass discovered the traces of the coalition forces.

There is no danger in the open land in front of Bishui Pass, the mountains, forests and rivers are in the distance from north to south, just leaving quite enough open space in front of Bishui Pass, so Bishui Pass has never been a male pass that can not be opened, at best it is only an insurance for the Tiger Pass, because although the Tiger Pass is steep enough, but after the Tiger Pass can go straight to Luoyang, so it is too important and cannot be lost.

Dong Zhuojun of Bishui Pass was instructed by Li Su, and he kept paying attention to the movement in the distance with a spirit of 120,000 points, and specially built a watchtower on the mountain next to the checkpoint where you could see the gathering in the sour jujube camp, where hundreds of thousands of people were stationed, even if they were far away, they could clearly see the gray tents that formed a piece.

Dong Zhuo's soldiers on the watchtower saw that the sour jujube camp that was already like a county town was gradually dusty at this time, and an army the size of ants began to assemble, one army after another, lined up from the direction of sour jujube.

"The enemy is coming!"

"Hurry up and report to the general."

Soldier after soldier shouted, as if on the march, and delivered the news to Li Su, faster than any horse.

"Quick, follow me up to the tower."

Li Su changed out of the Confucian clothes of the past, put on steel helmets and iron armor, and also took a cold and bright sword in his hand, and led a group of middle-level generals to the city wall.

"The enemy army still has ten miles to arrive!" News came from the watchtower.

Li Su led thousands of soldiers on the city wall to wait for the enemy to attack the city, and the remaining soldiers served as reserves and logistics support under the city wall to wait for the call, at this time, the movement of the coalition army no longer needed to be notified by the watchtower on the mountain, and Li Su on the city tower could already see the vanguard of the coalition army.

However, fortunately, the news of the watchtower is no longer needed to know the enemy's movements, otherwise I don't know if Dong Zhuojun's soldiers will still have the courage to fight, because at this moment, observing from the watchtower, the vanguard of the continuous enemy army has reached a place three arrows away from the city wall to form a formation and prepare to attack the city, and there are still ant-sized alliance troops pouring out of the sour jujube camp in the distance.

Li Su looked at the vanguard troops that had been completely assembled in front of Bishui Pass at this moment, the soldiers held banners with the names of the princes from all walks of life in their hands, stood together in the same column, and swung horizontally into a long snake, with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others in the middle, and the rest of the princes stood in front of their respective armies on both sides.

The vanguard is responsible for the siege, the follow-up of the Chinese army, the rear army has been flanking the troops are still arriving one after another, Li Su looked from afar, the infantry holding the shield was in front, each infantry holding a shield was followed by the archers, and then the infantry holding the siege weapon, this is the most standard siege formation, Li Su's heart sank, sure enough, the other party wanted to rely on the strength of the army to win more and less, with absolute strength to achieve an overwhelming victory.

Commanding hundreds of thousands of people to fight together made Yuan Shao feel very good, he looked at Li Su on the city tower proudly at this time, and said loudly: "Dong thief perverse and harmful to the common people, why bother to follow him to continue to do evil, it is better to obey the will of the people as soon as possible, open the city gate, help us and others to crusade against the traitor, and in the future, in front of the saint, I will invite you." ”

Li Su immediately walked to the city wall and replied to Yuan Shao: "Thank you Grand Master Yuan for bothering me, whether the Taishi has done evil or not, my Xiliang army is very clear, but Li Su is a little strange, you old men who are high up on weekdays, when will it become public opinion again?" Hahaha......"

"Hahahaha......"

Dong Zhuojun on the city wall also laughed.

Ignoring the paleness of Yuan Shao and the surrounding princes from the power of the family, Li Su pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, my Xiliang man's good head is here, if you want to fight, you will fight!" ”

The sergeants on the city wall also roared in unison: "Whew! Drink! ”

Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Look for death!" ”

He immediately waved his hand and ordered the front army to march, and Yuan Shao and many princes all beat their horses and pushed them into the middle army formation to command and mobilize the whole army.

The soldiers of the former army, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately raised their shields and protected the archers and siege teams behind them, and marched steadily towards the city wall of Bishui Pass.

At this time, the battle report sent by Li Su was finally delivered to Luoyang City, and the herald held the command flag Pegasus to gallop on the street, and Diao Chan walked on the street, knowing that at this time the eighteenth princes had been formed outside the city, and they were attacking Bishui Pass.

"I don't know if Changsheng has successfully fought Huaxiong and become the general of the 10,000 enemies in history......"

Diao Chan thought about it in his heart, and he didn't hear the sound of hurried horses' hooves behind him.

"Get out of the way!"

The herald saw a young woman blocking the road in front of him, and hurriedly issued a warning.

Diao Chan didn't know it, and still walked forward by himself, secretly thinking in his heart as he walked: "When the alliance army attacks Luoyang, I will go to you......"

Seeing that it was about to collide, the herald's eyes showed a trace of unbearability, but there was no way, the military order was greater than the sky, and at this moment, even if it was the princes and nobles in person, it was impossible for him to restrain the war horse, so he could only deflect the direction of the horse slightly.

Under the control of the herald, the horse crashed into Diao's right shoulder, Diao Chan only felt that a huge force suddenly came from behind her and hit her shoulder, the severe pain made her wake up, her body spun uncontrollably, and before she fell to the ground, she only saw a sergeant with a command flag and a fast horse speeding past her.

There was no way to find someone to reason, no one stepped forward to help her up, Diao Chan could only lie on the ground until she relieved the initial pain, and then slowly got up by herself, avoiding the eyes of pedestrians on the street, and walked back to Situ Mansion with her head down.

"Quickly call Li Ru."

As soon as Dong Zhuo received the battle report, he immediately ordered someone to find Li Ru.

"Here, look at this battle report."

Li Ru took the battle report handed over by Dong Zhuo, and immediately changed his expression of surprise, and said to Dong Zhuo: "There are such characters in the coalition army? Guan yu...... Why have you never heard the name? ”

Dong Zhuo said: "Now the key is not this, Huaxiong is seriously injured, only Li Su is left to support, Bishui Pass will inevitably not be able to stop the attack of the coalition forces, do we want to withdraw them and give up Bishui Pass?" ”

Li Ru said: "The withdrawal of troops is certain, but when is it more appropriate to retreat......

Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment and said, "Hua Xiong is seriously injured, and it is obviously inappropriate to leave now. ”

Li Ru said: "The prison army Li Su has always been an assertive person, why don't you repair a book and let them seize the opportunity on their own?" ”

Dong Zhuo nodded: "Say it to Lu Bu again, let him lead the tiger to prison and the soldiers and horses will be ready to respond at any time." ”

"Son-in-law, let's do it." Li Ru quickly retreated and left, and almost everyone in Dong Zhuojun, who had been in the war in Xiliang for a long time, was like this at the beginning of the war, acting decisively and simply, not dragging his feet.
