After all, this "Che Cavalry General" is self-appointed, without the edict of the court, Yuan Shao also felt a little lacking in confidence, so he named Cao Cao as the general of Fenwu, firstly, he also pulled a cushion, and secondly, Cao Cao was edited by Dong Zhuotong, and the original military captain had already been dismissed, and now Cao Cao is a white body, and he is not a body without an official position.

The next step is to discuss the matter of marching, from the sour jujube to the west, you can point directly to Luoyang. Except for Wang Kuang's soldiers and horses stationed in Hanoi, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's men and horses stationed in Luyang, and Han Fu in Yecheng to support the grain and grass of the army, the armies of the rest of the princes gathered in Suoju.

Entering Luoyang, Hengyuan is in front of the coalition army, which is the Tiger Prison Pass, connecting Songyue in the south, bordering the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, which is a natural danger. There is a trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", and it is a place for soldiers of all dynasties. In order to guard against the Kwantung coalition army, Dong Zhuo specially ordered the general Hua Xiong to lead the troops to garrison here.

The information of the Kwantung Coalition Alliance soon spread to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was very angry, and immediately put more than 50 members of Taifu Yuan Kui's family in prison and beheaded, and executed Wu Qiong and Zhou Bi, who recommended Yuan Shao and Liu Dai at that time. In fact, Dong Zhuo was originally a fierce and inward-looking guy, with a fierce appearance, and the content was sparse and soaked, the Kwantung Coalition Army had just met in the sour jujube alliance, and before the two sides engaged, he couldn't sit still.

However, as soon as his proposal to move the capital was proposed, it was opposed by almost everyone, not only the court ministers, but also his subordinates Li Ru, Hu Zhen, Lu Bu and others. Prevent the Kwantung coalition from advancing westward.

The news that the Yuan family was beheaded by the whole door reached the sour jujube, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu cried to the ground, Cao Cao pulled the sword in his hand, and said loudly: "Dong Zhuo is unkind, cruel Zhongliang, we should immediately send troops to Luoyang, sword Dong thief, and avenge Yuan Taifu!" ”

When everyone heard it, they were excited. But when it came to the actual discussion of marching into the army, they all cowered again. No one knows the brutality of the Xiliang soldiers. Yingchuan Taishou is a lesson from the past. is really going to fight with the Xiliang soldiers, and all the princes are afraid to death.

That is, only Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong, came out generously. "Insist on being the front, swear to the death to beg the thief!"

Yuan Shao's teary eyes were a little grateful. Choked up: "Wentai is brave." I am very relieved. In this way, Wentai was appointed as the vanguard of the front. Capture the Tiger Prison. ”

Sun Jian received the order, went down to gather his troops, and marched to the Tiger Prison Pass.

is different from Sun Jian's resolute and resolute behavior. Although Yuan Shao issued the order for the whole army to march, the princes of all walks of life were still dragging their feet, and the reorganization of the army alone was carried out for several days, and it was not known when they would be able to complete the military preparation and march into the tiger prison.

Liu Ze was a little worried, and said to Cao Cao: "Wentai is alone, or I am afraid that it will be lost." ”

Cao Cao was also very dissatisfied with the slow movement of the coalition army, but Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance, and he had no right to come forward to command, so he could only be helpless. "The only way to do this is to urge Yuan Che to ride more."

"The Tiger Prison guard Huaxiong is not an idle person, and Wentai acts with will, I am afraid that it is more than auspicious. The coalition forces are slow to move, and if Wentai is in danger, they will not be able to save him at all. Brother Meng De, the younger brother is all light horses, traveling hundreds of miles a day, if he sets off immediately, even if Wentai is in danger, he should be able to save it. In Liu Ze's impression, Sun Jian's rash advance was folded in Hua Xiong's hands, Sun Jian was the first tiger general to fight against Dong Lianjun, and Liu Ze said that he could not let him lose.

"Okay, the virtuous brother can lead the troops to go quickly, and I will report to the Yuan Che riding place." Saving soldiers is like fighting fires, how can Cao Cao not know this truth, although the mobilization of people from all walks of life has to be dispatched by Yuan Shao, but in a hurry, Cao Cao immediately agreed to Liu Ze's proposition.

Sun Jian had already been on fire in his stomach after the defeat of Yuzhou, and he was eager to prove himself with a victory, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to be the vanguard and attack the Tiger Pass. After receiving the order, he personally led 10,000 horses and horses to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass under the stars.

The subordinate general Han Dang was puzzled: "How can the lord act in such a hurry?" "Han Dangbiao is a righteous man, and in his early years, he followed Sun Jian with Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao, and these four people are currently in Sun Jian's army.

Sun Jian explained: "At present, only Hua Xiong led 5,000 Xiliang soldiers to defend the Tiger Prison Pass, if he did not take advantage of the fact that he was outnumbered to capture the pass by surprise, and wait for Dong Zhuo to send reinforcements to come, and refuse to defend it at risk, the Tiger Prison will definitely be difficult to overcome." ”

When you go to the pavilion, the mountains here are high and dense, and the terrain is treacherous. Cheng Pu was old and meticulous, and said to Sun Jian: "Lord, this place is so sinister, if the Xiliang soldiers set up an ambush here, our army is in danger, it is better to garrison the troops for the time being, and send scouts to investigate before marching." ”

Sun Jian shook his head and said, "The soldiers are fast, how can they delay here?" Hua Xiong only has 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command, even if he sets up an ambush here, how many men and horses can he send? Even if he dared to send half of his men here, what was there to fear? ”

So Sun Jian didn't listen to Cheng Pu's words and immediately marched. There is only one small road in Yuting that is still passable, winding, Sun Jian must not divide more than 10,000 troops into three teams, Han Dang led the first team of 2,000 people first, Sun Jian and Zu Maoju the second team, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai led the third team of 3,000 people.

Han Dang's first team of people and horses passed through the pavilion, and Sun Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and led the second team to follow up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked halfway, all of a sudden, shouts of killing rang out, arrows flew indiscriminately, and Sun Jian's men and horses were caught off guard, with heavy casualties.

Zu Mao saw the ambush and shouted: "The lord retreats quickly, I will cut off the queen!" ”

Sun Jian was a little remorseful, he didn't listen to Cheng Pu's words, and he really fell into Huaxiong's ambush. However, the tiger of Jiangdong was brave enough to skip people, and how could he panic and mess up the formation as soon as he encountered an ambush, and immediately stopped his subordinates, protected him with swords and shields, and slowly retreated.

At this time, Hua Xiong led the Xiliang cavalry out of the trail, and in a moment, he divided the formation of Sun Jian's long snake into several sections that could not be taken care of. The Xiliang cavalry is known as the tiger of land warfare, and the Jiangdong soldiers led by Sun Jian are accustomed to water battles.

Although it was located in the canyon, the Xiliang cavalry still showed their excellent horsemanship, galloping back and forth, galloping vertically and horizontally, and each charge was accompanied by the screams of the Jiangdong soldiers who were dying, and the blood almost dyed the Yuting Valley red.

Sun Jian's eyes were split, his heart was painful, and he wanted to step forward desperately with the ancient ingot knife. Zu Mao stopped him and persuaded bitterly: "The lord must not be impulsive, it is better to fight his way out of the encirclement first, and then try to take revenge after meeting with the righteous prince and the righteous and virtuous princess." ”

Helpless, Sun Jian had no choice but to listen to Zu Mao's words and retreat out of the valley, and at the same time counted on Han Dangjun in the front team and Cheng Pujun in the rear team to come to the rescue. But how did he know that after Hua Xiong set up an ambush in Yuting, he let go of Han Dang's front team, and waited for Sun Jian's Chinese army to pass by before ambushing and killing on a large scale. At the same time as ambushing Sun Jian, Hua Xiong had already arranged two teams of men and horses to attack Han Dangjun and Cheng Pu's army, and now the two teams of men and horses were attacked by the Xiliang army at the same time.

Sun Jian was very puzzled, this Hua Xiong only had 5,000 men and horses under his hands, how could he dare to rely on this number of men and horses to set up an ambush in Yuting? Could it be that the tiger prison doesn't want him?

This is obviously Sun Jian's underestimation of Hua Xiong, Sun Jian's intelligence work in the early stage was not bad, Hua Xiong's strength in the Tiger Prison Pass was 5,000 people, but this was not 5,000 foot soldiers, but 5,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry. When defending the city, the cavalry may be useless, but in the field, these 5,000 iron cavalry are beyond the reach of Sun Jian's 10,000 infantry.

When Sun Jian's soldiers and horses left the sour date, he had already arranged the plan for the ambush in Yuting, and let go of the vanguard of the first team, Huaxiong's main force of 3,000 cavalry directly launched an attack on Sun Jian's 5,000 foot soldiers, and at the same time sent 1,000 cavalry to attack Sun Jian's front and rear teams, so that they could not care about each other.

This tactic was undoubtedly successful, in the valley of the gorge, Sun Jian's infantry could not effectively line up at all, and in the face of the sudden and ferocious cavalry attack, they could only be beaten, and there was no power to fight back at all.

It's also Sun Jian who is too ostentatious, with a bright red red curtain on his head, and it's hard not to be recognized. Hua Xiong rushed forward, galloped forward, waved his horse straight to Sun Jian, and shouted: "Sun Jian'er, leave away!" ”

Sun Jian looked at it, and came to take the body nine feet away, with a strong tiger body and a hideous face, and it was expected that he was Huaxiong, and he didn't dare to fight, so he got out and left, and gave him two arrows while fleeing.

Hua Xiong's martial arts are exquisite, and he dodged the first arrow sideways. Sun Jian's hand was fast, the first arrow had just been shot, and the second arrow followed closely behind Hua Xiong's face, Hua Xiong swung his knife to disrupt the feather arrow, and the fast horse chased after him.

When Sun Jian pulled the bow and wanted to shoot again, he unexpectedly used too much force, and he pulled the magpie bow and broke it, so he had to abandon the bow and flee.

Hua Xiong's mount is a good horse in Xiliang, much better than the horse that Sun Jian rides, and the speed is extremely fast, seeing that the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.

Zu Mao saw that Hua Xiong was chasing him very urgently, and thought that he would definitely not be able to escape with such an escape, so he said to Sun Jian: "The red curtain on the lord's head is eye-catching, and the thief is chasing after him and it is difficult to get out. ”

Sun Jian was greatly embarrassed, showing loyalty in times of danger, Zu Mao knew that it was death and was willing to lead away the enemy's protector Gong Quan, how could such a righteous man Sun Jian let him die for himself, took off his helmet, abandoned it on the side of the road, and said movingly: "Tairong, you and I are the main servants, but we are brothers, how can I Sun Jian let my brother die for me!" Since today is the death of my Sun Jian, let our brothers die in one place! ”

Zu Mao burst into tears and said: "When the lord is in danger, he still thinks about the love of the master and servant, my Zu Mao has nothing to repay, I only want to serve the lord again in the next life!" With that, he turned his horse's head and rushed towards Hua Xiong. (To be continued......)
