In Xuanyuan Pass, Hua Xiong had already reorganized his troops and bound his armor, and only waited for the Jiangdong military horses outside the city to show some signs of retreating, so he immediately led his troops to pursue, so as to be hit with one blow and take off Sun Jian's head in a battle.

Although he has always looked down on Hu Zhen, what Hu Zhen said that day was exactly what he wanted.

It's just that a few days have passed now, but Sun Jian's military horses outside the city have not seen any movement to evacuate, but the barracks are brightly lit every night, and there is the sound of drumming from time to time.

On this day and night, the lights outside the gate were still bright, but the drumming of the past was missing.

At this time, Hua Xiong, who was in Guanzhong, suddenly woke up and realized that he had fallen for Sun Jian's suspicious plan. Although the camp outside the gate seems to be brightly lit now, I am afraid that all those left behind are the military horses behind the palace, and the real army may have already secretly left.

Even if Hua Xiong ordered troops to go out of the city to chase and kill Sun Jian, he didn't want Hu Zhen to send someone to stop him, saying that this might be Sun Jian's strategy to lure the enemy, but he was afraid that the purpose was to lead him Hua Xiong out of the city to fight, and he wanted Hua Xiong not to be reckless.

How could Hua Xiong endure this opportunity to go in vain, in his opinion, this was just an excuse for Hu Zhen to be afraid that he would make a great contribution.

Taking a step back, what if there was really an ambush by Sun Jian outside the city? Could it be that he Huaxiong will be afraid?

He shouted angrily, retreated the messenger, and led the two thousand Liangzhou cavalry troops who had been preparing for a long time out of the city.

After he left, two people climbed to the top of the city and watched the smoke and dust that Hua Xiong led his army out of the city.

"The Metropolitan Governor had already guessed that Hua Gongming would not obey military orders? Could it be that this is also the plan of the military advisor?"

Xu Rongxiao looked at Hu Zhen who looked contemplative.

Hu Zhen came back to his senses and said with a smile: "The military advisor has always come to see Zhonghua Xiong, so naturally he will not make such a plan, and it is my plan to prevent him from sending troops."

"Since Sun Jian is known as Jiangdong Menghu, he is naturally not an ordinary person, although Hua Xiong has the courage of ten thousand people, he may not be Sun Jian's opponent."

"Although there is a plan of the military advisor now, it may not be a sure thing to kill Sun Jian. If he is careless this time and loses at the hands of Sun Jian, then Xiangguo will blame him, and I will naturally have an explanation."

Xu Rong nodded first, and then showed a puzzled expression, "If Huaxiong is defeated, it is easy to say, but if he really takes down Sun Jian's head, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Metropolitan Governor to explain it to Xiangguo."

Hu Zhen turned his head to look at him, and smiled gently, "Now the enemy in the south is not only him, Sun Jian. In addition to Sun Jian, there is also Liu Bei. Even if he Hua Gongming doesn't die here, he will die there. How can a Liangzhou hero like me cohabit with him, a frontier martial artist who only uses some brute strength."

"Besides, if he is alive to lead the cavalry, where will it be your turn to take the throne in the future?"

Hu Zhen looked at Xu Rong, who was a little stunned, with deep meaning in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Zihou, I have put a lot of thought into order for you to take the position."

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Thank you, Grand Duke."

It's all in plain sight.

He Xu Rong was born in Liaodong with no roots and no foundation in the Liangzhou army, and he was vigorously supported by Hu Zhen, no matter what happened in the future, he could only stand on Hu Zhen's side.

Hu Zhen was quite complacent, twisting his chin beard and laughing softly, "Zihou, things on the battlefield are never as simple as wielding a knife and fighting."

……

Hua Xiong naturally didn't know Hu Zhen's plan, although he had never been on good terms with Hu Zhen, he would not have thought that at this critical time, Hu Zhen was still doing everything possible to prepare for his life.

At this time, he had led the army to break into Sun Jian's camp, and there was no trace of Sun Jian's army in the huge camp.

Hua Xiong had been marching for many years, and after just a slight glance, he realized that the army of the palace left by Sun Jian had actually just left.

He did not hesitate much, and immediately led his army to pursue southward.

As Hua Xiong expected, a Jiangdong cavalry army of no more than 1,000 people was running in the night.

The person who led the leader was Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, who personally led the army to leave behind.

For the generals, the courage of the people naturally has the benefits of bravery, when the battle can be cut before the battle, to boost their morale

, Yu Yong Kejia in the past is this truth.

But there are advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantage is that if the war is unfavorable and the troops are withdrawn, the main general often has to stay in person to break the rear to calm the army's heart.

Otherwise, even if the Lord can preserve himself, his prestige in the army will plummet.

Sun Jian has always been known as the Menghu of Jiangdong, so he naturally wants to personally lead the army to stay behind.

Now although they set off a lot earlier than Huaxiong, but the people of Jiangdong are better at water warfare, and now with Sun Jian's repeated battles in the north, the ability of land warfare and riding skills are much better than before, and they can not be compared with those Liangzhou cavalry who have grown up on horseback since childhood.

Moreover, in addition to being inferior to those Liangzhou cavalry troops, their sitting horses are even worse.

Jiangdong has few horses, and many horses in Sun Jian's army were given by Yuan Shu, although these horses can be regarded as high-grade among the horses in the Central Plains, compared with the Liangzhou horses of the Liangzhou army, after all, they are much worse.

At this time, although Sun Jian and the others were fast horses, they completely ignored the loss of sitting down and getting off the horse, but the speed was still not as fast as the Liangzhou fast horse.

Two thousand Liangzhou cavalry came on horseback, splashing dust on the ground and roaring continuously.

At this time, a rear army had already noticed the Liangzhou cavalry chasing from behind, and hurriedly rushed forward to report to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian frowned and was silent when he heard this.

Now the best way is naturally to leave some military horses behind.

It's just that now, even a person who is a lake can understand that staying here will inevitably deal with a situation of nine deaths and one life.

Zu Mao, who was guarding Sun Jian's side, had been with Sun Jian for many years, so he naturally saw his embarrassment.

Now only he is the most suitable to stay, and there is no reason to ask Sun Jian to stay after the break.

Zu Mao said in a deep voice: "Wentai, the only way to do this is to leave some people behind you and temporarily block the pursuers behind you. Give me the scarf on your head, and I will hold back the pursuers."

Sun Jian hesitated, Zu Mao was his general, firstly, he was reluctant, and secondly, he was afraid of losing the hearts of the people in the army.

Zu Mao immediately took a few steps forward and said softly, "Wentai."

Sun Jian is Jiangdong Menghu in the end, at this time, he is ruthless, he wants to stay with Zu Mao and others to fight the enemy, the matter is not irreparable, they have not lost the strength to fight.

When he didn't want to look up at Zu Mao, Zu Mao ripped off his red scarf with his hands, and then slapped his palm on Sun Jian's horse. Sun Jian sat down and galloped out immediately, Zu Mao shouted, except for the hundreds of pro-soldiers he had personally trained on weekdays, the other cavalry troops followed Sun Jian.

Zu Mao wrapped the red scarf around his head, then looked around at the remaining hundred or so Jiangdong disciples on his side, and said in a deep voice: "We are waiting for the lord's personal guards, and all kinds of experience on weekdays are only for today, if you and others do not want to stay with me, you can follow the lord and go by yourself, and I will not stop you."

There are more than 100 guards around him, all of whom are stable and unmoving.

Zu Mao laughed, "Okay, it's not in vain for me to wait for my brothers, then we will kill the thieves together."

……

Zu Mao took these hundreds of pro-army trained by his own hands to deliberately disrupt the horseshoe prints left by Sun Jian and others, and then deliberately stopped at the horse, leaving some horseshoe marks, wanting to lead Huaxiong and others astray.

When Hua Xiong led the army to chase after him, he first saw the messy horse's hoof prints on the ground, and then heard the sound of the horse's hooves not far away, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately led the army to chase after him.

Several times before going out of the city to fight, he also captured many defeated troops of Eastern Wu, and in their confessions, Sun Jian was happy to wear a red scarf. Thinking of this, Hua Xiong shouted and immediately led the army to chase after them.

Zu Mao, who led Hua Xiong astray in front, saw that Hua Xiong was really led by him, so he urged the horse to gallop more and more.

Hua Xiong, who was chasing closer and closer behind him, showed some ridicule when he saw this, and the Jiangdong Menghu in Hu Zhen's mouth was nothing more than that, could it be that Hu Zhen deliberately said that Sun Jian was extremely powerful in order to prevent him from making contributions? But if you think about it carefully, it is not uncommon for an incompetent person like Hu Zhen to think of Sun Jian more powerfully.

Liangzhou big vest

The world, but in the blink of an eye, the Liangzhou military horse led by Huaxiong was already about to catch up with Zu Mao and others.

At this time, seeing that there were not many Jiangdong military horses, they all fled because they knew that he was chasing him. Hua Xiong had the idea of capturing him alive, and he commanded the cavalry to scatter left and right, and surrounded the Jiangdong army horses from both wings.

The Liangzhou horses were fast, and the Liangzhou military horses on both sides quickly overtook the Jiangdong military horses and surrounded the Jiangdong military horses.

It's just that when the Liangzhou military horses were scattered to the two wings and were about to complete the encirclement, the Jiangdong military horses that were surrounded in it, under the leadership of the general with a red scarf on the head, turned their heads and went straight to Huaxiong, who was chasing behind them.

Hua Xiong didn't laugh angrily when he saw this, he swept the big knife in his hand, looked at the red scarf man who was running towards him, and sneered, "Sun Wentai, if you dare to break the cauldron and fight, I will also count you as a character."

At this time, Zu Mao had already rushed to Hua Xiong's horse, he was just delaying for Sun Jian, but now seeing that Hua Xiong really regarded him as his own master, he was asking for it, so naturally he would not deliberately debunk it.

At this time, the two horses intersected, he didn't speak, and slashed at Hua Xiong's head with a knife, and now he has the will to die, if he can pull this person on his back before he dies, it will not be a loss.

Hua Xiong also knew his intentions, and while laughing at this "Sun Jian" squad in his heart for getting an axe, he casually slashed away Zu Mao's knife momentum, and there were contacts with each other, swinging the knife and slashing at Zu Mao.

Zu Mao had the will to die, and his courage was at its peak, but he used all his strength to reluctantly take Hua Xiong's knife.

At this time, the Liangzhou military horses, which were originally scattered left and right, and were ready to surround the Jiangdong military horses, had already turned around and surrounded Zu Mao and others from both wings.

In terms of kung fu on horseback, the people of Jiangdong are not as good as these Liangzhou iron horses, not to mention that they are still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but in the blink of an eye, the Jiangdong soldiers have fallen off their horses, leaving only Zu Mao who is still resisting.

It's not that he is outstanding, it's just that now that the general trend has been decided, the Liangzhou cavalry who are surrounding him knows Hua Xiong's temper, so they just surround Zu Mao in it, but they have never stepped forward to help.

Hua Xiong also had the idea of trying this Jiangdong Menghu ability, and when he captured this person alive, he would definitely bring this person back to Hu Zhen to see, the so-called extremely difficult Jiangdong Menghu in his mouth, when he met him Hua Xiong Hua Gongming, he could only be captured?

Thinking together, Hua Xiong no longer had the intention of temptation, he used his hand hard, with the horse's momentum, a heavy knife cracked out, Zu Mao raised the knife to block, but his strength was not as good as Hua Xiong, and sitting down the horse was not as good as the Liangzhou horse, under Hua Xiong's heavy knife, he was even planted to the ground with a horse.

The man, who had already had the will to die and already knew that he was going to die, let out a long sigh, but he didn't have any regrets in his heart.

The years he followed Sun Jian were not under Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others, otherwise Sun Jian would not have been relieved to hand over the responsibility of guarding to him.

When Sun Jian was just gaining momentum, they had never been less affected by the eyes of the wealthy families of Jiangdong.

And the reason why they, who are as poor as Sun Jian, have followed Sun Jian for so many years, and even risked their lives for this, is naturally what they want.

What I want is to be in the land of Jiangdong, where the wealthy family is like a high mountain, and one day, when I see them, I will stand up solemnly!

Zu Mao sighed, he couldn't see it after all.

The Liangzhou military horses on his side slowly surrounded him, and Zu Mao clenched the long knife in his hand, and he was about to cross the knife and end his life.

I didn't want to see that he was already about to wipe the sword, but Hua Xiong took a quick step, rode his horse, slashed the long knife in his hand with a knife, sneered, and said sharply: "Sun Wentai, I want to ask for death. Did you ask me if I said yes?"

Zu Mao laughed for a long time, but he still didn't say that he was not Sun Jian's business, and if he could delay it for a while, Sun Jian and the others would have a better chance of getting out of trouble.

At this time, a Jiangdong descendant walked quickly to Huaxiong's horse and said, "Riding Governor, this person is not Sun Jian, but Sun Jian's guard general Zu Mao Zu Darong."

Hua Xiong suddenly frowned, and lowered his head to stare at Zu Mao who was lying on the ground.

Seeing this, Zu Mao laughed, "Now that my lord is long gone, even if your Liangzhou horse is as fast as the wind, you can't catch up. If you are not reconciled, you will take my life."

Hua Xiong was silent for a while, the green tendons in his hand holding the knife burst out, and he stared at Zu Mao deadly, but after a while, he laughed.

"Regardless of the loyal and brave men under his command, this Jiangdong Menghu is nothing more than that. It's a pity that such a loyal and brave person as you died for this little man who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

He slowly raised the long knife in his hand, as if to slap it horizontally.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly rose not far away, and a cavalry swept in.

The first general galloped on horseback and shouted, "Sun Wentai is here!"

Whether it was Hua Xiong, who was about to kill with his knife raised, or Zu Mao, who was waiting for death with his eyes closed, they looked at the roaring cavalry at this time.

Hua Xiong looked down at Zu Mao, saw the look of surprise on his face, and concluded that it was Sun Jian and Sun Wentai.

He laughed heartily, "What a self-defeating Jiangdong tiger, dare to come to righteousness and die, I want to think highly of you!"

Seeing that the big fish was hooked, he threw Zu Mao behind the horse, rode the horse towards Sun Jian, and slashed at Sun Jian with a knife with the horse's momentum.

The two horses intersected, and the two of them fought back and forth in one place, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser for a while.

"Zhou Cang, who do you think can win?"

I don't know when, another army quietly arrived behind Sun Jian, led by a man with a long beard on his face, a soap robe in a green coat, and a hand twisting his beard.

It was Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang who came to help Sun Jian.

It turned out that Liu Bei had already sent Guan Yu to lead a cavalry army to camp nearby, as long as Sun Jian showed his defeat, he would immediately rush to help, only then Sun Jian was defeated and left, and met Guan Yu and led the army to help him halfway.

Guan Yu just twisted his beard at that time, raised his head slightly, and asked lightly, "Can Sun Wentai still kill thieves?"

Just this simple sentence made this Jiangdong Menghu immediately turn red.

Sun Jian immediately returned with his troops and came to the rescue of Zu Mao.

At this time, Hua Xiong and Sun Jian had already fought dozens of battles, but they had not yet won or lost.

Zhou Cang looked at it for a moment, and then he spoke: "If you talk about martial arts, Sun Taishou should be better, but it's a pity that he has been running around again and again, and his physical strength is too huge, and if he continues to fight, I'm afraid it will not be this person's opponent."

Guan Yu nodded, "Sun Wentai is a prince, if he folds here, it will inevitably damage the morale of the coalition army. Besides, such a character should not be compromised by tricks."

"Zhou Cang, take my knife."

Zhou Cang replied and handed the long knife on the horse's back to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu held a knife in one hand, rode out, and shouted violently, "Wentai retreat, leave this person to me to deal with."

At this time, Sun Jian, who was fighting against Huaxiong, was gradually showing fatigue, and he knew that it would be no good to fight any longer, so he turned his horse's head and immediately withdrew his army.

Hua Xiong naturally will not let go of this great achievement, and he will chase after him, but at this time, a man in green clothes rushed towards him, Hua Xiong only thought that this person was a young general under Sun Jian's account, and saw that the big knife in his hand was quite a bit of a pound, and shouted in his mouth: "Where did you come from, dare to get an axe in the class gate, you are also worthy of using a knife!"

A knife snaps out, and the person's life is taken.

I don't want this person to resist his move with just a casual block.

Hua Xiong was slightly stunned, although he only used three points of strength for the knife just now, it was definitely not something that ordinary martial artists could easily resist.

When he cheered up, he had to deal with this person first, and then go after Sun Jian.

So he used twelve points of strength, and two knives slashed out, not wanting to be picked up by Guan Yu at will.

Hua Xiong was shocked, but he was a little afraid, he had always been extremely conceited about his own martial arts, and with Dong Zhuo fighting in Liangzhou for many years, he had never encountered such a person.

So he shouted loudly to strengthen the courage in his heart, "I am Dong Xiangguo's general, Huaxiong Hua Gongming, and I will be able to pass my name!"

Guan Yu just picked the corners of his mouth, with a slight hint of recklessness and mockery, "I am a husband in Hedong."

After speaking, a knife cracked out, bringing a roaring sound.

Hua Xiong drove the knife sideways, barely catching a knife, but his arm was still numb by the huge force of the knife.

At this time, he couldn't care about any face, so he wanted to turn around and flee, but unfortunately Guan Yu was a rare good horse when he sat down, even his Liangzhou horse was far inferior.

Guan Yu chased after him in the blink of an eye, and then slashed out a second knife, and the force was so heavy that it directly cut off Hua Xiong's head.

All of a sudden, Tsing Yi was flying, and the three armies were silent.
