Chapter 108: White Horse General
When Zhang Xiu found the army, he led the army back to the original Sun Jian's camp, and soon saw Hua Xiong also lead the army back. Zhang Xiu saw Hua Xiong's depressed look, so he asked, "Brother Hua, what's wrong?" ”
Hua Xiong sighed and said: "It's not the doll of the Sun family, he fought with Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, and I fought more than 50 rounds, but I was not the opponent of the three of them." Cheng Pu and Huang Gai are nothing, they have not improved much compared to that year, but the doll of the Sun family has such strength before the crown, and I am afraid that I will not be his opponent in a few years. ”
When Zhang Xiu heard this, he laughed and said: "Brother Hua, don't be annoyed, and teach your baby well, let him fight with Sun Ce, you just go to find Sun Ce and his father's bad luck." ”
When Hua Xiong heard this, his depression swept away, and he laughed and said: "It's extreme, it's extreme, it's right." I don't believe that Sun Wentai can win against me. ”
The two talked and laughed while leading the army back to the customs. After returning to Guanzhong, the soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield sent a battle report to count, Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong's army only suffered more than 100 casualties, and most of them were slightly injured, but the dead people were not good at riding, and they fell off their horses and were trampled to death by their own families during the pursuit. Sun Jian's troops lost nearly eighty percent of their army, although many of them were scattered, but only 15,000 men and horses defeated Sun Jian's 30,000 horses, and the proportion of casualties was so disparity, it has to be said that it was a great victory.
As for Zhang Xiu, after throwing out Sun Jian's red curtain, it was said that he caught up with that person was an ordinary soldier pretending to be Sun Jian, wearing Sun Jian's red curtain to lead Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu only recognized that the red silk chased after him because it was dark, so he fell into the pawn, and now the soldier has been killed by Zhang Xiu, and the red silk has also been taken.
Although Zhang Xiu's words have many loopholes, when Li Meng raised doubts, Zhang Xiu said that it was dark and he couldn't see it back, and Li Meng had nothing to say. And Zhang Xiu defeated Sun Jian for a while, Li Meng had nothing to say, Zhang Xiu just won Sun Jian with a plan, you can't say that people are fornicating with enemy generals, even if it is a bitter strategy, it is impossible to kill his army almost annihilated, so Li Meng had to sulk himself.
Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong broke Sun Jian, and when the war report was sent to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was naturally overjoyed, and after rewarding the two of them, they let them continue to guard Bishui Pass.
Here Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong were rewarded, Sun Jian collected the remnants and returned to the coalition camp, naturally pointed at Yuan Shu and scolded: "I, Sun Jian, sent troops, for the country, and avenged your Yuan family, today you actually deducted the grain and grass of my army, so that our army was defeated, so internal discord, how can you win Dong Zhuo and rescue Your Majesty." ”
Sun Jian scolded like this, all the princes naturally came out to persuade each other, Yuan Shu was also smart, and immediately found a substitute for the dead ghost to come out, and cut him down to vent Sun Jian's anger, Sun Jian saw that Yuan Shu was like this, and he was helpless, and the princes persuaded each other, so he sat back in his place.
After calming Sun Jian's anger, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Bao Xin's army was defeated for a while before, which broke the spirit of our army. Now that Wentai has been defeated for a while, the thief army is powerful, what can I do? ”
When all the princes heard this, they all looked at each other. At this time, Cao Cao came out and said: "In this case, it is better for us to advance together with the princes of the Eighteen Roads, go to Bishui Pass to set up a village, and fight Zhang Xiu and Huaxiong." ”
When the princes heard this, they all nodded their heads in agreement, and Yuan Shao saw that everyone agreed, so he said: "In this case, tomorrow our coalition army will go to Bishui Pass to meet this embroidery and Huaxiong for a while." ”
……
A few days later, the allied army of the princes of the Eighteenth Route came to the village in front of the Bishui Pass.
Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong, Li Meng and others on the gate saw the company camp under the pass, and the momentum of more than 100,000 troops was not simple, and the faces of several people became extremely serious.
Hua Xiong saw it, but said to Zhang Xiu: "My lord, let the last general go down to challenge to frustrate the spirit of the coalition army." ”
Zhang Xiu heard this, his heart sank, and when he just wanted to speak, he saw Li Meng glancing at Zhao Cen behind him, and then saw Zhao Cen coming out of the ranks; "Kill chickens with a knife, besides, Sun Jian has been defeated, and there is no one in the coalition army, and let the last general go down to challenge and cut off the heads of several generals of his coalition army, so that they can know how powerful my Xiliang man is."
Zhang Xiu heard this, and laughed secretly in his heart: "Li Meng, you fool, is the credit so easy to stand?" In history, Huaxiong also hung up in this battle, you let the generals go out, didn't you let him go to death? In that case, I will fulfill you. ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "Well said, sure enough, I am a man from Xiliang, and I will be with General Hua and General Li to see how you show your might, and you will be rewarded for your victory." ”
Zhao Cen was praised by Zhang Xiu like this, and immediately rejoiced: "The last general will take the order." After saying that, he ran to the gate with "kick, kick, kick", then got on his horse and took his sword, and led the thousands of horsemen to provoke in front of the coalition camp.
Zhao Cen's strength if, Hua Xiong also knows a little, now that more than 100,000 people of the coalition army are in the village, how can there be no one or two powerful people, Hua Xiong doesn't understand why Zhang Xiu wants Zhao Cen to fight, if Zhao Cen is defeated, the morale of the army will naturally be leaked a lot, but Hua Xiong saw that Zhang Xiu looked determined, and he didn't ask much.
Zhao Cen challenged in front of the coalition camp, and the princes didn't care at first, after all, Zhao Cen was just an unknown figure, so he sent a few captains out to deal with things. How do you know that this Zhao Cen is not famous among the famous generals in the late Han Dynasty, but he can still win against the unknown generals sent by the princes. In this way, Zhao Cen beheaded several captains of the coalition army, so that the coalition army paid a little attention to it.
Yuan Shu knew that his reputation was not very good after deducting Sun Jian's grain and grass, so he wanted to make some contributions. I only heard Yuan Shu say: "I have a subordinate general Yu She, and I have the courage of ten thousand people, and I can behead Zhao Cen." ”
As soon as Yuan Shao was about to nod his head, he heard a sergeant come to report that an ordinary cavalry soldier under the alliance leader Yuan Shao came out with a gun, and Zhao Cen just wanted to ask for his name, but he was stabbed under the horse by this sergeant.
Yuan Shao didn't know that there was such a person under his command, and the captains under the princes had nothing to do with this Zhao Cen, but he was stabbed to death by a small cavalry soldier, and suddenly had a lot of curiosity, so he said to the princes: "Let's go out of the camp and take a look." ”
When the princes heard this, although they felt that Yuan Shao was making a fuss, they still didn't want to brush off his alliance leader's intentions, so they nodded one after another, and followed Yuan Shao out of the big tent and watched the battle in front of the big camp.
When he came to the camp, he saw a young man about twenty years old with a silver gun in hand, wearing white armor and riding a white horse, to the pass to make a provocative speech, and there were several corpses lying behind him, obviously Zhao Cen and several captains killed by Zhao Cen just now. Yuan Shao saw that this young man was heroic and martial, not like an ordinary soldier, and he loved him very much in his heart.
