Chapter 43 Chapter 4 "Marriage Contract"

But he said that the person who spoke was a Kansai man, named Hua Xiong, who was nine feet long, with a tiger body and a wolf waist, and a leopard's head and ape arms. 50,000 horses and infantry troops, together with Li Su, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Cen, went to the pass to meet the enemy in the starry night.

Sun Jian led the troops to go for two days, and in the past two days, there was indeed a faction of singing and dancing in the military tent of the alliance army, and the princes were also pushing cups and setting lamps to form gangs with each other.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan came to Tong Ruo's side with a wine glass, toasted a glass of wine and said: "I heard that Tong has not yet married a family, I see that adults are talented, and I have a daughter who has not yet been married. ”

This happened to Tong Ruo by surprise, he didn't expect to come here and didn't fight, but someone first married him Zhang Luo, but it was reasonable to think about it, Tong Ruo's territory was far away in Liaodong and there was no hidden danger to other princes, and it was adjacent to Gongsun Zhan's right Beiping County, Gongsun Zhan was like this, and he must have wanted to solve the geographical worries through marriage.

Political marriage is by no means what children want, but in the Han Dynasty, they have to adapt to society, and if they want to achieve great things, marriage is an indispensable part.

Tong Ruo glanced at Xie Wenyan, only to see Xie Wenyan shaking his head slightly, Tong Ruo would understand, if he married Gongsun Zhan, although it was to ensure the peace of the border, it was difficult to have the possibility of going west.

Tong Ruo said: "Marriage matters, let me think about it again." ”

At this time, Yuan Shao spoke again: "Ziling, aren't you married yet?" I also have a daughter who wants to have a good husband with her, and I see that you like it in your heart, so it is better to engage with my daughter. ”

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, the princes in the audience all echoed the meaning, and many people also cast envious eyes, Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, now you are the head of the allies, and you want to be able to climb the Yuan family, and you will definitely be flying in the future.

Xie Wenyan also nodded towards Tong Ruo on the side.

Tong Ruo also understands in his heart, Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao's seemingly casual words, but there is a deep plan, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan's territory is quite close, if there is a war in the future, if Liaodong can be brought as an ally, it is obviously enough to balance Gongsun Zhan, this is to learn from Qin's "distant friendship and close attack" strategy.

Tong Ruo didn't know what was at stake, but when he thought of Huo Qianning, he was entangled in his heart.

Yuan Shu said to Yuan Shao again at this time: "You didn't see that General Gongsun was already going to give him his daughter, you didn't do a good thing for others." ”

Eryuan was on the bar at this time, and this matter of Xu Qin turned out to be an invisible battle for power and interests.

Yuan Shao said proudly: "This is a bad word! Zi Ling is the dragon and phoenix among people, who doesn't want to get this east bed fast son-in-law, my daughter is not married, of course I want to find a good family for her. As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Tong Ruo: "I heard that misfortune has happened in the Ziling clan, since I am your elder as the leader of the alliance, this matter is up to me, and your marriage is decided!" ”

Yuan Shao said righteous words, and there were a lot of people who echoed them, and others didn't dare to say more, Gongsun Zhan frowned coldly, knowing that he was weak and weak, and this matter was difficult to achieve, thinking that he had made a wedding dress for others, he was unhappy in his heart, turned back to his seat, and drank sullen wine.

At this time, Liu Bei held a wine glass and said to Zhao Yun behind Tong Ruo: "I saw the two generals in the early days, and I actually felt that I had a great fate with you, so I should give you a glass." As he spoke, he picked up his glass and drank it all.

Zhao Yun hurriedly replied: "How dare you." As he spoke, he drank a glass of wine.

Tong Ruo saw Liu Bei looking at Zhao Yun's appearance, and his eyes were full of expectation. Where do you still care about the engagement, just thinking about this Liu Bei Chengfu is very deep, how can I beware of Liu Bei, don't let him poach this fierce general.

Tong Ruo also said to Liu Bei: "Is this my senior brother Zhao Yun, I am like a brother to him, Mr. Liu values him so much, I am also happy in my heart." ”

Zhao Yun heard the words and said in his heart: "Zi Ling regards me as a sibling, and I am determined to assist him to achieve some fame." ”

Liu Bei arched his hand and said: "The friendship between Master Tong and General Zhao is really affectionate. There was a sense of disappointment.

Zhang Fei also shouted on the side: "My friendship with the two brothers is also stronger than iron and stone!" ”

Liu Bei shook Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's hands and said with relief: "Third brother, second brother ......"

At this time, Yuan Shao suddenly said sharply: "The day before yesterday, something happened in our ally!" ”

Everyone looked at Yuan Shao in an instant.

Yuan Shao said again: "Bao Xin, why are you like this!" ”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone made it clear, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin saw that Sun Jian was a pioneer, and the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt, and he was afraid that Sun Jian would seize the first credit, so he secretly asked his brother Bao Zhong to lead the horse infantry army of 3,000 first, and copy the small road, until the battle was closed, but he did not expect that he would be cut off by Huaxiong just a combination.

This matter has already been rumored, and I thought that Sun Jian would be sent as the vanguard first, but this time it boosted the arrogance of the enemy.

Bao Xin didn't care when he heard this, just drank a cup of stuffy wine, and looked very sad, obviously his brother's death hit him hard.

Cao Cao said at this time: "Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin violated the military order, fought for merit and misdeeds, and should be beheaded to show the army's heart!" ”

The princes in the audience couldn't sit still when they heard this, and they all stepped forward to speak for Bao Xin.

Cao Cao said again: "Now if the two armies fight and behead the princes, I am afraid that the army will be unfavorable, but even if the death penalty is inevitable, the living crime cannot be escaped." ”

Yuan Shao frowned, and said: "Now that he has lost his brother, it can be regarded as a punishment for him, so forget about this matter!" ”

Cao Cao wanted to speak, but Yuan Shaona was still willing to listen, raised his glass and began to invite everyone to drink again.

Seeing this, Tong Ruo thought to himself: "Yuan Shao only cares about playing a round, the boss is like this, if the princes below are all following Bao Xin's example, how can they gather their hearts to fight the enemy, the surface alliance is actually the same as himself to occupy a prestige, and the only ones who are really willing to crusade against Dong Zhuo are Cao Cao and Sun Jian." ”

Besides, on Sun Jian's side, he has already won a victory, and his general Cheng Pu only used a few combinations to stab Huaxiong's deputy Hu Zhen off the horse, and Sun Jian has a total of four fierce generals:

The first, the right Beiping Tuyin people, surnamed Cheng, the name Pu, the word Demou, make an iron spine snake spear; the second, surnamed Huang, the name cover, the word is public, and the Lingling people are also, making the iron whip; the third, surnamed Han, the name is dang, the word is Yigong, and the people of Liaoxi Lingzhi are also, making a big knife; The fourth, surnamed Zu, Mingmao, the word Darong, Wujun Fuchun people also, make double knives.

After this battle, the spirit of the alliance army was flourishing, and Sun Jian saw that the rations were about to run out, so he asked someone to come to Yuan Shu to ask for food.

Yuan Shu was already angry because he did not become the leader of the alliance, thinking that Sun Jian was known as the Jiangdong Tiger, and his territory was quite close to himself, if he really broke through Luoyang and destroyed Dong Zhuo, wouldn't it be to get rid of the wolf and get the tiger, and then the threat to himself would not be great, so he did not send food, and only watched Sun Jian's army be defeated by Huaxiong.

Sun Jian's army had no food, and sure enough, there was a big chaos in the army, at this time Li Su offered advice to Hua Xiong, and said: "Tonight, I will lead an army down the pass from the path, and after attacking Sun Jianzhai, the general will attack his front village, and he can be captured." ”

That night, Sun Jian's army was attacked by a sneak attack, and Sun Jian's soldiers were already hungry and panicked, how could they defeat Huaxiong's well-fed army.

Sun Jian's general Zu Mao died to save Sun Jian, Sun Jian also fled all the way, and the enemy army behind was eagerly chasing, and then suddenly saw a team of military horses coming in front of him, and the flag was fluttering, and there was a big character written on the flag: "Tong".
