Chapter 171, Liu Guanzhang

Turning a hill, Hua Xiong, who was chasing closely, saw Sun Jian and the two fleeing in front of him, so he only chased after the man wearing the red curtain. Sun Jian was able to escape.

In a panic, Zu Mao, who was chased by Huaxiong behind, plunged headlong into an abandoned courtyard. There is no way ahead, and there are pursuers behind.

"God will kill me!" Zu Mao looked up to the sky and sighed, but he didn't want to be caught, so he dismounted and took off the red curtain on his head and hung it on the broken pillar in the courtyard, and led the horse to hide behind the broken house, waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack Huaxiong.

The moonlight is hazy. It didn't take long for Hua Xiong to lead the army to the dilapidated courtyard, and when he saw the motionless red curtain in the courtyard, he ordered people to surround him on all sides. He himself turned over and dismounted, and slowly stepped forward to inspect it with a large knife in hand.

Just as he was wondering why the man wearing the red curtain was so tall, suddenly the sound of breaking through the air came. Hua Xiong heard the sound and discerned the position, raised the knife in his hand, and split the arrow that shot head-on. At the same time, he strode forward and slashed at the body under the red curtain.

There was a "click", like the sound of a wooden stake breaking, and Hua Xiong knew that it was a plan. At this time, two more arrows were fired in front. Hua Xiong hurriedly dodged away, ordered someone to take the red curtain, and went to fight the guy who hurt people with the secret arrow alone.

Even three arrows with his own hands did not hurt Hua Xiong, Zu Mao, who was hiding behind the house, couldn't help but sigh a pity, and now it was useless to hide, so he had to abandon his bow and muster up the courage to raise his sword to kill - hoping to kill a bloody way and escape from the encirclement.

Hua Xiong cautiously went around to the back of the house to investigate, and suddenly saw a person holding two knives in his hand, suddenly rushing out of the shadows, attacking him like crazy. Almost without thinking, he subconsciously fought back with a knife.

Although Zu Mao was born with five big and three thick, broad shoulders and a round waist, he is not Huaxiong's opponent. Especially in the face of Hua Xiong's big open and big dance, he felt even more powerless.

Hua Xiong fought with him on the one hand, and on the other hand, he paid close attention to the double knife in his hand, fearing that he would attack him with a sudden knife like he had fought with Bao Zhong and the others before. Seeing the opportunity, he suddenly shouted, raised his big sword in both hands, and slashed at Zu Mao with a thunderous force.

Zu Mao was defeated, Queen Cang retreated, avoided it, and was beheaded by the knife. Hua Xiong asked Zu Mao's body to be carried away, and still led the troops to search for Sun Jian, but to no avail, he looked at Tianming before leading the troops back to the pass.

And after the three generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang broke through together, they led the remnants of the defeated generals to look for Sun Jian, who was missing...... The hard work paid off, and after several twists and turns, he finally found Sun Jian and several soldiers accompanying him in a small valley.

Seeing them, Sun Jian felt a little relieved, but he didn't see Zu Mao come back, and suddenly a thought that made him a little difficult to accept came out of his heart inexplicably. But he ruthlessly extinguished this speculation, and on the one hand ordered someone to go out to find out Zu Mao's whereabouts, and on the other hand, he sent someone to report the battle situation to Yuan Shao.

Compared with Tianming, he got the news that "Zu Mao has been killed by Hua Xiong", Sun Jian felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest with a knife, beating his chest and feet, looking up to the sky and howling, sad.

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others persuaded left and right, stayed in the party, and then slowly evacuated while packing up the military horses.

In the big tent of the allies, after learning the news of Sun Jian's defeat, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, hurriedly invited the leaders of all the princes to convene a military conference.

"I don't want Sun Wentai to be defeated by Huaxiong, what is your best strategy?" Yuan Shao looked at the allies sitting on the left and right with a solemn face.

"What? Sun Jian was defeated by Hua Xiong? This Huaxiong is too good. "So where is he now, and is he in danger?" "The Tiger Prison Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it may be that Sun Jian is careless. "When two armies fight, victory or defeat is a common thing, so don't worry. "But who should play now? ”……

When the princes heard this, they immediately exchanged their heads and talked about it. Only Yuan Shu knew it, his expression was slightly embarrassed, and his eyes flickered left and right, as if he was afraid that others would see that he had a ghost in his heart.

Seeing that everyone had discussed, but there was no result, Yuan Shao temporarily pressed the matter, turned his head to look at Bao Xindao, whose face was a little ugly: "The former brother of General Bao did not obey the dispatch and entered the army without authorization, so that he was killed and killed, and many sergeants were broken...... When I say this, I don't mean to blame the general, but I just hope that everyone will not make decisions on their own in the future, and they will have to listen to the dispatch together. ”

"......" Bao Xin is dumb and eats coptis, he can't say anything about his suffering, he didn't speak, but his head was tilted, and his hands were clenched into fists, which was considered a response. And his face twitched violently at this time, and he almost gritted his teeth in his heart and shouted: Huaxiong, I swore to kill you and avenge my brother.

"Now that Sun Wentai has been defeated, he has been frustrated, what do you say?"

The princes all stared in deep thought and remained silent. For a moment, the tent was extremely quiet, and it seemed that a needle could be heard.

"You speak." Yuan Shao said in his heart, while inspecting everyone with his eyes. When his eyes moved to Gongsun Zhan, he saw three people standing behind him, with abnormal appearances and disdainful faces. Yuan Shao was a little strange and asked Zhan, "Who is behind Gongsun Taishou?" ”

When everyone heard this, they all raised their eyes in unison. I saw that the man in the center of the queen was seven feet five inches long, with two ears hanging down his shoulders, his hands over his knees, his face like a crown of jade, and his lips were like grease - after Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, surnamed Liu, named Bei, and the word Xuande.

The first person on his left is eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, and his voice is like a huge thunder, like a galloping horse-Zhang Fei is also!

The head of the person on his right is nine feet long, his beard is two feet long, his face is like a heavy jujube, his lips are greased, his eyes are red, his eyebrows are lying silkworms, his appearance is dignified, and his majesty is Guan Yu.

At this time, Liu Bei's three brothers were not famous, their strength was not strong, and there were few people who knew them.

During the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Guanzhang and the three of them had organized volunteers, and with the imperial army to exterminate the Yellow Turbans, they made meritorious contributions and served as the county lieutenant of Anxi.

This time, because he heard that Gongsun Zan led his troops to Luoyang to meet the princes of all walks of life to defeat Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei went to help with his sworn brothers.

"He is my brother-in-law when I was young, Liu Bei, the commander of Pingyuan County." Gongsun Chan saw that everyone's eyes were cast over here, so he introduced it on his behalf.

"Prefectural order?" Someone immediately laughed softly. Think about it, everyone here is either a assassin or a Taishou, all of them are characters who dominate one side, how can they be treated as equals with a small county order?

But one person exclaimed: "Could it be Liu Xuande who broke the yellow scarf?" The person who spoke was Cao Ying, listening to Gongsun Zhan's introduction to Liu Bei, he vaguely remembered that someone seemed to be called "Liu Bei" on the "merit book" that broke the yellow scarf back then.

"Exactly." Gongsun Chan smiled and thought: Everyone looks down on me, a brother who is still a small county commander, but some people can still remember that he once broke the yellow scarf and made great contributions, which is really rare. asked Liu Bei to meet everyone present one by one, while telling Liu Bei his merits and background, a long story short.
