Chapter 152: A God-Given Opportunity
Bishui Pass is close to the mountains and rivers, the terrain is dangerous, although the pass is not big, but it is just about to rush, which makes people anxious and difficult to go down.
When Sun Jian led the army to come, Xu Rong temporarily avoided the edge and closed the door, and had to set up a village outside the city after the strong attack was fruitless, cutting down mountains and trees to make siege equipment, and urging Yuan Shu to send grain and grass on the other.
However, Yuan Shu already has a heart of disobedience, and on the side of the couch, he can't allow others to snore. Afraid that Sun Jian would threaten Huaiyu by unifying Jiangdong in the future, he simply held the messenger to urge grain and did not send it, waiting for Sun Jian and Xu Rong to fight and lose both.
Huangfu Biao closed his eyes and thought, as if he was thinking about something, as if he was waiting for some news, his fingers regularly knocked on the tiger case, and suddenly the tiger's eyes opened and looked at the guards who walked in.
"General Yu, this is Sun Jian's ninth time urging grain today!"
It seems that Sun Jian is really imminent, otherwise he would not have sent messengers eight or nine times a day to urge food, Huangfu Biao really admired Yuan Shu's ruthlessness, he was so hard-hearted to his allies, and used the plan of killing people with a knife to the extreme.
"Have you ever prepared a banner?"
"Back to the general's words, the banner has already been done!"
"Gather the Flying Tigers and go!"
Huangfu Biao gave an order, and three thousand tiger riders set out in full gear, looking at the Bishui Pass in the middle of the night, and the whole process was tied with horses.
Not long ago, Bao Zhong, the younger brother of Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, also quietly went out of the camp like this, not only did he not grab the first credit, but the first level was also sent to Luoyang by Huaxiong to ask for credit. There are also many spies in the army, and when they saw Huangfu Biao pouring out of the nest, no one came out to stop them, and they were all waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Huangfu Biao is also helpless, Yuan Shu only cares about human food and does not give horses food, waiting here for more than a month, the war horses can be thin into skin and bones, and the horse's endurance will be greatly reduced if he only eats wild grass. When the time comes, people will be thin, what to fight with others, but if you want to fight quickly, you must skillfully take the water, and Huangfu Biao has to come out to try his luck.
At this time, Sun Jian's camp was in the middle of the morale was low, and the Jiangdong tigers, who had no food for three days, killed horses to satisfy hunger. In the past ten days, several simple wells have been made, and the bow and arrow are suppressed, and they can barely reach the head of the city, and they can barely reach the head of the city, and they can see that the water pass is at their fingertips, but the food is cut off for three days, not to mention the siege of the city, it is too laborious to sit, and they are all lying in the camp.
The situation in Bishui Pass is very different, Xu Rong and Hua Xiong each have a leg of mutton, and the soldiers each distribute two steamed buns, and the one that eats is called a Shutai.
"Lord Xu, I see that Sun Jian's army has been sharply reduced in the past few days, and he is weak to raise a banner, I'm afraid there will be no food and grass!"
"General Hua's eyes are like a torch, Bao Zhong's head can be promoted to the governor, if he can take Sun Jian's head, I am afraid that he will be promoted to the rank of knight again!"
"It's all up to Lord Xu's cultivation!"
"Well said, well said! Sneak attack on Sun Jian's camp tonight! ”
Xu Rong and Hua Xiong planned a night attack, if they could catch Sun Jian, the Jiangdong tiger, not to mention the promotion of the official to the knight, I am afraid that it is possible to pay homage to the marquis.
Follow Dong Zhuo to fight the world, no one will suffer the soldiers, every time the battle is enough, the soldiers are grateful for their kindness and often comfort the township to join the army. As everyone knows, the food in their mouths was all forcibly requisitioned by Dong Zhuo from the poor people, and even Tu County and Tu County are common things.
But they don't care where the food comes from, in troubled times, having a bite to eat is the greatest blessing, no matter what benevolence, righteousness and morality. The Yongliang army inside the pass is like this, and the alliance army outside the pass is not the same, as long as there is something to eat, anyone can give their lives.
"Father! Retreat! If you don't leave, it's too late! ”
Sun Ce persuaded Sun Jian to withdraw his troops in the tent, seeing that there was no food in the army and no morale, how could he fight, and if he was hungry for a few more days, it was estimated that Xu Rong would not be able to walk if he opened the city gate and invited them in.
"At this time, the retreat is not only wasted, but the 20,000 soldiers under the tent must scatter and escape, and there are many families in Jiangdong, and if you give up this bit of belongings, the Sun family will never have a future!"
Sun Ce said that he couldn't move his father to withdraw the army, so he had to decide to go to Yuan Shu in person tomorrow to urge food, otherwise this vanguard would collapse without a fight, and let them come if they attacked Bishui Pass.
Huangfu Biao traveled halfway, but when he saw that the wind was clear and the moon was white, it was not the time for a sneak attack, so he pressed the speed of the march and muttered in his heart. thought that if Sun Jian was undefeated, he would have to stage a big scene with him about running out of food, and he would have to toss again. And it is also very risky to not report in the middle of the night to get close to friendly troops, it is not good that Sun Jian will recognize it as a sneak attack and fight against each other, and it will not be beautiful when the water washes the Dragon King Temple.
"General! Look! ”
Huangfu Biao was retreating here, but he heard the exclamation of the sentry horseman, and hurriedly put his hand to look, but saw the fire spreading in the distance, and the shouting of killing was loud, it was Sun Jian's camp that was secretly attacked, and the enemy army was in chaos, so they set fire everywhere.
