Chapter 57: Guarding Themselves
At this time, Zhang Liao and Sun Jian, who were fighting, saw that each side had a general, and the Xiliang army asked to judge the battle as a draw. So they each withdrew their strength and weapons, and slowly moved closer to their own generals.
Zhang Liao saw that his third brother sent someone to come, and he also guessed the intention of his third brother, although he thought that he could remain undefeated, but he did not have the certainty of defeating Sun Jian, so he also lived up to the kindness of his third brother, drove the mount to slowly hind a few steps, and saw that the general was not carrying a weapon, so he stood in front of Song Guo, in case the other party had bad intentions, he could also block in front of him, and cover to retreat.
After the mount stopped, Zhang Liao was also panting on the horse, resting a little to adjust his state, and the mount under him was also emitting white smoke from his nostrils.
And Sun Jian's actions were similar to Zhang Liao's, and he also retreated a little bit and approached his own generals.
At this time, Sun Jing felt that there was an opportunity, and signaled his second brother Sun Jian with his eyes, taking advantage of the great opportunity that the other party had no weapons in his hand, he would strike first and take the opportunity to kill the enemy's second general.
Sun Jian and Sun Jing are compatriots and biological brothers, and they are naturally very clear about the meaning in their younger brother's eyes.
However, this Sun Jian is a gentleman and is unwilling to take advantage of others' danger, so he stops his third brother with his eyes. In this regard, Sun Jing was also depressed, but she still obeyed her second brother's orders.
Although Sun Jian was tired from fighting for a long time, he still felt keenly, and he faintly felt that the flagpole of the flag carried by the other party was a little weird, and he couldn't think of it for a while.
In fact, Sun Jian's feelings are really very keen, and the flagpole in Song Guo's hand is really problematic.
There is a saying: you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. Although Dong Shouye was a sworn brother who cared about himself and wanted to end in a draw, he was afraid that he would lead to misunderstandings with weapons and cause unnecessary losses, so when he made a plan with the old fox Jia Xu, he asked Song Guo to hold a big banner with no offensive power.
However, the flagpole of this big flag is not an ordinary wooden stick, but a horse lance, and its length is also about three meters, which can be used to pretend to be a flagpole, and ordinary people can't see it. This lance has been basically formed, and it is almost not installed with a lance.
There is no difference between Song Guo holding a mallet and holding a three-meter-long cooked copper rod or an iron rod, this thing looks like a wooden stick, but it is actually a big killing weapon, and a stick is a head flower, which is no different from holding a spear or a halberd.
This shows the cunning of Dong Shouye and Jia Xu. The issue of the horse lance will be dealt with in more detail and specificity in the following chapters.
At this time, Sun Jian and Zhang Liao saw the current situation, and also knew that there was no winner or loser in this battle, and if they forcibly divided the winner and loser, it might directly cause the two sides to fight a decisive battle in advance, so they also had the intention of accepting the result of a draw.
Sun Jian took the lead in speaking: "General Zhang Wenyuan is young and promising, and his martial arts are strong, and he will not be able to win, since you think that this battle is a draw, we have no objection and are willing to accept it." However, General Wen Yuan's bravery today opened the general's eyes, admired it, and was very heartbroken. ”
Zhang Liao saw that the other party was very polite, and said so many kind words to himself, and said out loud at the moment: "Thanks to General Sun Poyu's praise, if it weren't for General Sun's mercy, Zhang Liao would have been placed like this." ”
With that, the two of them laughed on their horses, and then joined their own side to return to their camps.
After Zhang Liao and Song Guo returned to the camp, Dong Shouye greeted each other in front of the battle, and saw that Zhang Liao had drawn with Sun Jian, and he had not suffered any damage, everyone was happy and happy.
Dong Shouye and Zhang Liao didn't say much, so they let them arrange a rest, after the battle, Zhang Liao was sweating profusely, and the robes and armor all over his body were already soaked, and water could be wrung out of his clothes.
By this time it was getting late, the sun was setting, and it was about to get dark. If there is another battle of more than 100 rounds like Hua Xiong vs. Sun Ce and Zhang Liao vs. Sun Jian, there will not be enough time, and it can only be a night battle.
Seeing this, Dong Shouye felt that there was no need to have a night battle, so he sent a herald to inform Sun Jianjun of his intentions, and it was not long before the herald returned to the army to report to Dong Shouye that the other party had no objection, so the two sides retreated with their men and horses.
Dong Shouye discussed with Jia Xu and others how to arrange the defense of the camp at night.
Dong Shouye was a little worried that Sun Jian would be a little restless, so he asked Jia Xu: "Military advisor, in your opinion, is it possible that Sun Jian's army will come to attack our army camp at night tonight?" ”
Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "Childe, this matter should not be, Sun Jian won one win and one draw in the daytime fight, the situation is superior, his morale is booming, there is no need to take some risks to attack at night, the two sides have already fought a big battle, although the other party has the advantage, but the strength of our army is also understood by the other party, and he will definitely not dare to act rashly." Moreover, if our army loses during the day, the other side will think that our army is trying to find a field, but will be worried that our army will attack the opponent's camp at night. ”
Dong Shouye listened, thought for a while, and said: "The military advisor is reasonable, Sun Jian should not make a large-scale night attack this time, even so, we need to be prepared." We might as well set some traps for each other and wait for them to drill them. ”
Jia Xu smiled, undeniable, but he didn't object to it, after all, it's a good thing to be cautious.
Thinking of this, Dong Shouye called some people to arrange it in this way, and arranged some soldiers on duty to be on guard.
As a result, to Dong Shouye's disappointment, the other party did not send people to attack the camp, but actively guarded against his own sneak attack as Jia Xu said.
So, Dong Shouye praised Jia Xu again, patted a lot of Jia Xu's sycophants, and closed Jia Xule's smile, and his old face was as happy as a chrysanthemum.
On the morning of the second day, the sun was shining, it was a good day to kill people and set fires, Dong Shouye and Sun Jian came to the designated position on the battlefield according to the previous agreement, and continued to start fighting.
Today is the third fight, Dong Shouye sent his general Li Dao to fight. Because Zhang Liao defeated Sun Jian, stabilized the situation, and stabilized the morale of Dong Shouye's army, Dong Shouye still chose to implement the established plan of fighting generals.
Needless to say, after Dong Zhuo's death in history, it was this person who continued to plague the world with the remnants of the Xiliang army, and no one dared to provoke the princes of the world.
People who can do this naturally have a few brushes, otherwise they can't toss, if they hadn't broken up with their good friend Guo Yan later, it is estimated that they would have been able to do harm for a few more years.
