Sun Jian sat on top of the boulder, his sword across his thigh, looking at the battle flag that was getting closer and closer, and narrowed his eyes.

After receiving Cao Cao's invitation, he hesitated for a long time, and finally came.

Originally, he planned to listen to Yu Ji's persuasion and take his subordinates back to Changsha or Jiangdong to develop, but Yuan Shu had no ability to fight with the imperial court, but he was very alert to his precautions.

In the first battle of Liangxian, Sun Jian suffered heavy losses, only three or four thousand people left, and he was not sure to kill all the way back to Jiangdong, so he had to stay in Yingchuan, and then rushed to Nanyang in person to explain to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu did not kill him, but asked Sun Jian to write a letter to take his family to Nanyang and hand him over as a hostage.

Sun Jian had to agree, he was isolated, and if he didn't agree to Yuan Shu's request, he would face the encirclement and suppression of Yuan Shu's tens of thousands of troops. Without reinforcements, without food and grass, he would most likely be wiped out. If he dies in battle, his family will still be Yuan Shu's fish.

In the face of Yuan Shu, he was like a strong grasshopper, and it was too difficult to shake the big tree of Yuan Shu.

Accepting Cao Cao's invitation and cooperating with Cao Cao to fight was also agreed by Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu didn't want to refuse Yuan Shao's order, making people feel that he was unwilling to contribute, and he was unwilling to consume his strength, so he just let a dissenting subordinate like Sun Jian send him to death. And Sun Jian figured out that Guò was hooked up with Yuan Shao in this battle, and if he turned against Yuan Shu in the future, maybe Yuan Shao could help him say a few words, at least Yuan Shu didn't dare to be so unscrupulous.

For those who don't know the inside story, it seems that Sun Jian is still a general under Yuan Shu's account. Yuan Shu sent him to fight with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, which was an expression of determination, and only they knew in their hearts the viciousness behind this arrangement. Sun Jian knew that the contradiction between him and Yuan Shu could no longer be hidden, and if this battle was lost again, he would not be able to avoid the fate of being annexed by Yuan Shu.

He really wanted to ask Yu Ji to take a look at his fate again, but Yu Ji Shenlong couldn't find it at all.

"In this battle, the victory or defeat is still secondary, and the loss cannot be too big. Otherwise, the consequences are worrying. Sun Jian sighed lightly. said to Wu Jing: "We can't afford to lose anymore. ”

Wu Jing responded: "Brother don't worry, Youtai (Sun Jing) will return to his hometown to recruit people, and when he comes back, we can have at least another thousand people." As for this war? It's just a sneak attack. There won't be too much fighting. ”

"I hope so." Sun Jian stood up. Looking into the distance: "Who is that green-robed general, could it be Guan Yu?" ”

Wu Jing also glanced at it and was taken aback: "What a tall figure." What a strong momentum. ”

"When the murderous aura is exposed, this person must be proud and conceited." Sun Jian pondered for a moment: "Sue sù Demou and reprimand, don't conflict with him." ”

"Whoa." Wu Jing responded and turned to go. Sun Jian jumped off the boulder, turned over on his horse, and greeted Guan Yu in the distance.

……

At Yuyuan Pass, Du Wei Wu Xuan's eyes were cold, holding on to his knife, and pacing back and forth on the city tower. His steps were slow, but heavy, as if every step out was well thought out.

A rush of footsteps sounded, and Wu Xuan turned around and looked at where he had come.

Guo Wu, the military marquis of the scout battalion, walked over quickly: "Captain, we have lost three more scouts today. ”

Wu Xuan walked quickly to the map and asked softly, "What location?" ”

Guo Wu pointed on the map. Wu Xuan narrowed his eyes and nodded, "I know." Pass my order, from now on, announce that you will enter the wartime alert, and no one is allowed to leave the city unless the soldiers of the scout battalion are violated, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! ”

Guo Wu hesitated for a moment: "General, I haven't seen the enemy's trace yet, and the declaration of martial law in the whole city will cause panic?" ”

"Panic is inevitable, and it is better to make some preparations in advance than to impose martial law when the enemy arrives in the city." Wu Xuan said unhurriedly: "The continuous disappearance of scouts is a sign of the enemy's approach. The reason why we didn't find out about the enemy was because the enemy was too strong for our scouts to escape. ”

Guo Wu looked at Wu Xuan and was afraid. He has been following Wu Xuan for a while, and he knows that Wu Xuan's face is cold, and when this sentence comes out of Wu Xuan's mouth, it means that the enemy is not trivial. "In that case, should we ask for help?"

Wu Xuan glanced at him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the smile disappeared again before he could bloom. "I have already given the Huangfu Taifu and Lu Che to ride, but the Lu Che cavalry is not strong enough to provide much help, and the Huangfu Taifu may not have time to face Yuan Shao's army. So, we may still have to rely on ourselves. ”

Guo Wu gasped, not knowing what to say. Wu Xuan patted Guo Wu on the shoulder: "The matter has come to this point, there is nothing else to ask for, I just hope to hold on for a while longer, and wait until His Majesty leads the army back to help." I have already received the news that His Majesty has made a forced landing on Yang Feng and Guo Tai, stabilized Hedong, and rushed here with 10,000 steps, which is three or five days at most. ”

"Three or five days?" Guo Wu shook his head with a wry smile and didn't say anything more. He knew that Wu Xuan would not abandon the city and leave, and he had this psychological preparation from the day he accepted the order to guard the Yuyuan Pass.

"Don't think about it so much, get the city guard crossbow ready." Wu Xuan frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "I don't know what's going on, it seems that there are more and more masters recently." Alas, the world will be chaotic, and tigers and wolves will walk during the day. ”

……

Pillars.

Liu Wei got out of the car, stepped on the slippery stones, and walked step by step to the boulder stretching to the center of the Yellow River, and the drizzle formed by the splashing waves wet his face, bringing a trace of coolness, until he was cold to his heart.

It's a little cold, but it's not biting, but it has a rare freshness.

Liu Wei narrowed his eyes, looking at the rushing river, but his mood was surprisingly calm.

On this boulder, Cai Yan completed the drum song, adapting a famous 20th-century rock song into a rousing ancient song. Even Liu Wei is difficult to find the original shadow in it, only the rhythm remains. Every time Cai Yan twisted Xiao Man's waist and stepped on this dance, Liu Wei could always feel the rhythm hidden behind the drums and dances.

This rhythm seemed to hit his heart, pumping his blood out of the atrium and pouring out of his whole body.

Although there is no second person except Zhang Xiu who has broken through the realm because of this drum song, Liu Wei knows that Cai Yan's drum song will inevitably go down in history, and sooner or later more people will understand their destiny and step into the realm of demigods because of this drum music.

He stood on the boulder, closed his eyes, and listened attentively to the roar of the water.

The thunderous waves have sounded for thousands of years, and it seems that they will continue to do so. The sound of the waves is like the first sound of Dayu when he opened the mountain and water thousands of years ago, and it seems to be changing the rhythm all the time, becoming unchanged, all in a thought, when you feel that you seem to have grasped something, that trace of feeling is fleeting.

Liu Wei remained motionless, like a mainstay.

Tang Ying and Cai Yan stood on the shore, their hands clasped tightly, and their eyes fell on Liu Wei's back in the distance.

Wang Yue and Shi A held their breath, ready to jump onto the boulder at any time.

Three hundred guards stood on the shore with their swords in their hands, silent.

A gust of wind blew, and Liu Bian's fiery red was blown upside down, causing Liu Bian's body to shake, and the tie was suddenly loosened, like a red cloud, soaring away, quickly disappearing into the rushing river, and then disappeared.

Tang Ying's face turned pale with fright, and she subconsciously covered her mouth.

Wang Yue was about to pounce, but was stopped by Shi Alla. Shi A said in a trembling voice: "Master, wait." ”

Wang Yue's heart was shocked, and he looked up at Liu Wei's back. Without Dayu, the imperial robe on Liu Bian's body was wet with mist, and the red pattern darkened, almost blending with the black ground.

A black back, looming in the churning mist.

Liu Wei suddenly sat down and sat cross-legged.

"陛xià...... It's as if I've realized something. Wang Yue turned his head to look at Shi A, cold sweat was dripping, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Yes, maybe...... It's enlightenment. Shi Ah said in a trembling voice, with an unconcealed ecstasy in his eyes.

Tang Ying and Cai Yan glanced at each other, and then their eyes fell back on Liu Wei's back.

Liu Wei was unconscious. His mind was completely empty, there was no thunder in front of him, no thunderous roar in his ears, and he even forgot all the three hundred people who were watching him behind him, and only the drums composed by Cai Yan were in his mind. The stirring drum music and the sound of the water blend into one, and gradually only simple drum beats remain, and these drum beats slowly merge into one sound.

This voice came from the depths of the body, like a dragon's roar from ancient times, inaudible and clearly recognizable.

"Hmmm—"

Unconsciously, Liu Wei's hand formed a handprint and placed it in front of his abdomen. The stone ball, which Cai Yong called a dragon egg, lay quietly on his hand. A voice seems to be inside the body, and as if it is outside the body, he can't distinguish it, and he doesn't want to distinguish it, he just wants to stop in this voice forever.

In a trance, the rushing Yellow River seemed to roar, pouring into his body, pouring in through his top door, endlessly, endlessly.

The stone eggs were wet with mist, and the originally boring surface became crystal clear, trembling slightly, like a dragon awakened for thousands of years opened its eyes, looking at this familiar and unfamiliar world with dazed curiosity, and looking at the immature and resolute face in front of him.

Thousands of miles away, Xun Yu slowly put down the silk book in his hand, raised his head, looked through the gap in the tent door, and looked at the Songgao Mountain in the distance, with a trace of uneasiness and worry in his eyes.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao, who was discussing with Feng Ji and Guo Tu, frowned, and stretched out his hand to cover his heart. Guo Tu was about to ask, but Yuan Shao waved his hand: "I'm a little uncomfortable, you guys retreat first." ”

Guo Tu and Feng Ji exchanged a look, got up and exited the big tent. Yuan Shao took out the phoenix egg from his sleeve and held it in the palm of his hand. The phoenix eggs were trembling slightly, as if a phoenix bird was about to break out of its shell. Yuan Shao groaned for a moment, bit his middle finger hard, and hung above the phoenix egg.

A drop of blood dripped on the phoenix egg, and the phoenix egg suddenly glowed red, and a phoenix chirp sounded in Yuan Shao's ears.

Yuan Shao smiled...... (To be continued......)
