Chapter 60: The Dust Settles (Part 2)

Hua Xiong wanted to take advantage of the chaos to flee on his horse, Sun Jian was willing to let go, and immediately rode his horse to pursue, Hua Xiong waved the long knife in his hand left and right, and the moves opened and closed, forcing Sun Jian away again and again.

Sun Jian cautiously rode the horse, leaned over to avoid the long knife, and bullied the head knife in his hand, continuously slashing left and right, Hua Xiong could resist, but he had no intention of fighting, and there were frequent loopholes under the irritability.

Sun Jian saw the opportunity, and at the moment when the war horse approached, he slashed at Hua Xiong's waist, Hua Xiong was shocked, if he was cut down this time, he was afraid that he would be seriously injured if he didn't die, and the moment he raised his blade to resist, Sun Jian suddenly raised his ring head knife and swung it suddenly.

A cold light flashed, and the head of Hua Xiong, who was wide-eyed, flew up, and the headless corpse was splashed with rich dark red blood, losing his center of gravity and falling off his war horse!

Seeing the death of the main general Hua Xiong, a group of surrounding guards turned around and fled, and soon joined the fleeing army, Gongsun Yi, Sun Jian and others immediately wore military uniforms and waited here, and soon pursued the army from the Bishui Pass to here, and everyone had their heads still dripping blood tied around their waists.

Cheng Pu stepped forward and laughed: "After this battle, there will be no obstacle for our army to attack Luoyang!" ”

Sun Jian smiled heartily and said: "Thanks to Lord Gongsun's clever strategy, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to easily defeat the more than 10,000 troops led by Hua Xiong, and the first credit should be Lord Gongsun!" ”

"General Sun beheaded General Huaxiong, and there is no need to be humble for his outstanding achievements, I would have thought that if Dong thieves would flee, our army should quickly reorganize and march westward!"

Gongsun Yi knew very well that when Bishui Pass fell, Dong Zhuo would follow Li Ru's suggestion to move the capital to Chang'an, if Dong Zhuo ran away this time, God knows what year and month he would take revenge, and Gongsun Yi naturally urged Sun Jian to continue to advance.

As long as he approached the eastern capital Luoyang, Dong Zhuo naturally could not evacuate safely, Luoyang would not be burned, and more than 100,000 people would not have to be displaced by the Xiliang army to go to Chang'an, and the anger of revenge prompted Gongsun Yi to lead the army to Luoyang as soon as possible.

"Lord Gongsun, our army has just experienced two fierce battles, if you go to Luoyang with a tired division now, if the enemy army leads the troops to fight in the field, our army will inevitably lose more than win, and the enemy army in Luoyang City is less than three times the number of our army, you must not rush forward, please think twice."

Sun Jian saw that Gongsun Yi's eyes were resolute, obviously blinded by hatred, and hurriedly clasped his fists and persuaded him, Sun Jian didn't want to take Luoyang as soon as possible, but with today's troops, it was enough to defend Bishui Pass, and if he led the army to attack Luoyang, the eastern capital, it would obviously be to touch the stone with an egg.

Seeing that Gongsun Yi was silent, Sun Jian continued: "I, the Kwantung Righteous Army, Chen Bing, is sour and sour, it is precisely to rescue His Majesty and eliminate Dong thieves, and it may be difficult to win with our own strength, not to mention that now the princes are deceitful to me, if the soldiers are lost, they will have no power to protect themselves, and they will inevitably cause trouble in the future!" ”

Gongsun Yi was stunned, nodded slightly, and naturally agreed with Sun Jian's suggestion, wanting to take revenge, for a while made Gongsun Yi, who was fighting Lian Jie, lose his usual calm, and Sun Jian just mentioned the point, which made Gongsun Yi calm down for a while.

Gongsun Yi immediately ordered to return to Bishui Pass to rest, and sent someone to bring Hu Zhen tied in the woods, maybe this northwest wang clan may play a big role.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were eyeing Luoyang, and they all wanted to use the emperor's mansion to call on the world, which was also the reason why Yuan Shao later wanted to support Liu Yu as the emperor and Yuan Shu himself as the emperor.

The rest of the princes are also deceitful, they want to swallow each other and strengthen their own power at any time, and watch out for each other, how can they work together to fight Dong Zhuo, the Kwantung Righteous Army is actually in name only at the moment when Chen Bing is sour.

When Gongsun Yi led 5,000 soldiers to support Sun Jian, he had already ordered the 10,000 Xiao cavalry troops stationed in Suozao County to march towards Qingzhou with light equipment and enough food.

Although it is far away from Qingzhou, and there is no correspondence for a while, Gongsun Yi believes that the vanguard led by Tian Yu has gained a firm foothold in Qingzhou, and there is no suspicion in employing people, and Gongsun Yi has great trust in Tian Yu.

It was not Gongsun Yi's original intention to give up the sour jujube county that had been in business for a long time, but although the army was good, with only 20,000 people, Gongsun Yi did not have much confidence to entrench himself in the sour jujube.

Gongsun Yi's army has sufficient food and neat soldiers, which is too high-profile among the princes, and it is very likely to be attacked by a group, which is also the place where Gongsun Yi has to stay away from right and wrong as soon as possible, and wait for the cranes and mussels to compete for the benefits of the fisherman.

Since listening to Guan Ning's analysis of the overall situation, Gongsun Yi resolutely gave up the sour dates and found another place to live, so he sent Guan Ning to Liaodong, sent Tian Yu to lead the army, and escorted the people and craftsmen to Qingzhou, which was also to leave a way back for himself.

Once the Kwantung Righteous Army is disbanded in the future, this hundred-mile land, together with the surrounding Yanzhou and Jizhou, is a battlefield, a place where the heroes fight together, and it is naturally extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will break bones.

What's more, a group of princes, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others are easy to match, and the rest of the states and counties are strong and deep-rooted, only Youzhou and Qingzhou can go, Gongsun Yi does not want to clash head-on with the virtuous Liu Yu, so he has to make up his mind to go to Qingzhou and find a place to live.

*****

The army covered up for half a day, and did not slowly return until evening, killing the vast majority of the troops of the Xiliang army at a very small price, which can be described as a great victory.

The Xiliang army first folded the vanguard of 5,000 men and horses led by Hu Zhen, and now Huaxiong was beheaded, and when the army of more than 10,000 people attacked the city before, it had already paid a lot of price, and when it was defeated, it was suddenly killed by the defenders of Bishui Pass, and the Xiliang army, which was already demoralized, could not organize an effective defense at all.

The general trend has gone, and they fled to Luoyang in panic, and were covered up by the Xiao cavalry army and Sun Jian's army all the way, and the loss of more than 10,000 troops was nearly two-thirds.

The good news was sent to the big tent of the Kwantung Righteous Army, and everyone was in an uproar, not only because Sun Jian fought a succession, defeated Hu Zhen and Lu Bu's vanguard army, and then conquered Bishui Pass, and then killed Hua Xiong, and the army approached Luoyang, but more importantly, the hussar general Gongsun Yi actually quietly led 5,000 armor soldiers to rush to help Sun Jian defeat the strong enemy.

If Sun Jian takes Luoyang alone, it will be fine, his identity is just Changsha Taishou, and he can be regarded as a general of Yuan Shu, if Gongsun Yi occupies Luoyang and rescues His Majesty, then everything will be different.

Gongsun Yi is a hussar general, with a gold seal and purple ribbon, and his status is still above the three dukes, and it is said that Yuan Shao and a group of princes, not to mention that Gongsun Yi's cavalry army has good combat effectiveness, and it is not a day or two to entrench in the operation of Suozao County.

Earlier, the army of the Xiao cavalry army was suddenly transferred, and Yuan Shao and others didn't care about it at first, but when they captured Bishui Pass and were only one step away from the eastern capital Luoyang, the transfer of this 10,000-strong army was very telling.

If Gongsun Yi successfully invaded Luoyang and captured Dong Zhuo, the level of merit was unparalleled, and if the Son of Heaven was stationed in Luoyang in the future to reject the princes, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be the second Dong Zhuo.

The princes were not stupid, and soon understood the imminent form, and suddenly couldn't sit still, and got up and petitioned to be the hussar generals of the Chinese army.

In order to compete for the right to lead the troops first, he was red-faced for a while, and almost had a big fight, and the entire military tent was a mess, and Cao Cao shook his head while sitting on the side.

The news of the fiasco on the front soon reached Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was so angry that his whole body trembled, but the general Hua Xiong was dead, and now this level is useless.

Li Ru stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Dong Gong, General Hua was beheaded, the army retreated, morale was low and there was no will to fight. ”

"And pro?" Dong Zhuo's face was full of doubts.

Li Ru chuckled and said: "Sun Jian's bravery can be described as a hero, there are few opponents in the siege of the city, this time the Kwantung Righteous Army, the only one who really fights with our army is Sun Wentai." ”

"That's the old man's heart, how can you not know!" When Dong Zhuo heard Sun Jian's name, his color suddenly changed.

"If Sun Wentai can be used by me, not only will the Kwantung Righteous Army Alliance exist in name only, but with Sun Jian's bravery, it will definitely be able to defeat the Kwantung Righteous Army, if Dong Gong is in the name of harmony, and then hired with a lot of money, it must be not impossible to behead Sun Yi by Sun Jian's hand." "Wonderful, immediately send an envoy to Bishui Pass, if you get Sun Wentai, the Kwantung Righteous Army will have nothing to fear!"

Dong Zhuo's words made all the generals and colonels present a little angry, but no one dared to lead the army to fight against him, Hu Zhen was defeated and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and even Lu Bu was not able to turn the tide, and now that Sun Jian cut off Hua Xiong's head, it made the generals dare not move lightly.

Zhang Liao, who was sitting in the last seat, wanted to get up and ask for his life, but he was pulled by Gao Shun next to him and couldn't stand, looking at it, Gao Shun shook his head slightly, signaling Zhang Liao not to come out, Zhang Liao sighed slightly, sat in place and didn't say more.
