Chapter 48

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said to Sun Jian: "Okay. Wentai. Go first. Even if what happened just now didn't happen, don't care."

Sun Jian smiled reluctantly and took his troops to be his vanguard. Cao Cao sat next to Yuan Shao and didn't know what to say. He didn't have anything to do, but because he said something wrong, Liu Bin made him a knife and made Yuan Shao hold a grudge against him. But he couldn't put down his face now and revenge Yuan Shao. Even if he thought about it, he had no reason. But he couldn't stay here forever. Now is not the time to fight. This is a big battle to fight Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Yuan Shao knew that it was not the time to fight, so he calmed down and said, "Everyone. Let's not worry about so much now. Let's go ahead and advance into Luoyang. I believe Dong Zhuo's rebels already know."

The princes of all walks of life did not want to make things too stiff, so they quickly followed them. Then the army set out and advanced towards Sishui Pass. Liu Bin also led his army and followed the princes' army to slowly advance towards Sishui Pass. Although he did not want to form an alliance with these princes, he also had to go out with him.

On the other hand, Sun Jian and his subordinates arrived at Sishui Pass. After the soldiers of Sishui Pass investigated the military situation, they quickly investigated the people and asked for reinforcements to Dong Zhuo's Prime Minister's Mansion in Luoyang overnight. Dong Zhuo had already begun to indulge himself after gaining power. Every day, he would go to the palace to rape the palace maids. His life was so comfortable. When Li Ru received the emergency document, he rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report to Dong Zhuo. After hearing this, Dong Zhuo was also shocked and quickly summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures. When Lu Bu heard about Dong Zhuo's talk about this, he laughed and quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry about the adoptive father. The princes outside the pass regarded it as grass; he would like to raise the tiger and wolf army, and behead their heads and hang them in the capital."

Since Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and surrendered to Dong Zhuo, he also became a foster father. However, he was imprisoned by Liu Bin. The Bingzhou Army of more than 100,000 were scattered, and only more than 30,000 people followed him to surrender to Dong Zhuo, which greatly reduced his strength. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo really valued Lu Bu and gave him a lot of supplements. However, Lu Bu did not have any loyalty and righteousness, a profit-oriented guy, just a 25-year-old boy. After he stood firm in the Xiliang army, he began to use Dong Zhuo's attention to him and infiltrated the Greek army. He did not want to betray Dong Zhuo yet, but he felt that he had to have a certain strength so that he could maintain his position. This time, the princes attacked Dong Zhuo together, allowing Lu Bu to see hope again, an opportunity to expand his influence. That's why he ran out quickly.

When Dong Zhuo saw Lu Bu coming out and said such bold words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I have Fengxian, so I can rest assured."

When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't help but feel proud. When Dong Zhuo was about to appoint Lu Bu to meet the enemy, another person suddenly stood up and shouted, "Why use a knives to cut chickens? I'll go there in person. I'll kill the heads of all the princes, just like taking objects from a bag."

When Dong Zhuo saw that he was his former subordinate, Hua Xiong, the former strong general of the Xiliang Army. Hua Xiong was originally the first military general in the Xiliang Army. After Lu Bu arrived, his status could not help but declined a lot. This had already aroused his dissatisfaction, especially when he discovered that Lu Bu began to infiltrate the Xiliang Army and began to monopolize power. This made Hua Xiong unhappy. However, he was still very loyal to Dong Zhuo. He couldn't say anything before he discovered that Lu Bu was hiding evil intentions and had any adverse actions against Dong Zhuo. However, he wanted to show it and attract Dong Zhuo's attention to him. So this time he heard Lu Bu jump out, he jumped out quickly, one to prevent him from making great contributions to Lu Bu's regular meeting, and the second to show himself and attract Dong Zhuo's attention.

Dong Zhuo saw that it was Hua Xiong and his old subordinate. Dong Zhuo thought about it. Since Hua Xiong had volunteered, it was difficult for him to refuse. After all, the rat that killed him was killed. And he was right. Lu Bu is now the number one general under his command, so he could not just send it out so easily, as it would be a bit useless. So he looked at Lu Bu and found that Lu Bu had also retreated. Obviously, he did not want to compete with Hua Xiong for this opportunity, so he sealed or bust cavalry captain and asked him to go to Sishui Pass with Li Su and Hu Cen. Hua Xiong was overjoyed and hurried to Sishui Pass. He also

Dong Zhuo didn't see Lu Bu's mysterious smile~. Lu Bu was a little dissatisfied with Hua Xiong, the number one general of Qian Xiliang Army, and was embarrassed with him everywhere and wanted to get rid of him. Since he was now competing with him for the opportunity to lead the army and seek death, don't blame him. He gave Li Su a wink and asked Li Su to take the opportunity to get rid of Hua Xiong. Li Su was originally just an intermediate officer of the Xiliang Army, and Lu Bu was a newcomer. The two of them were both fellow villagers and each other's needs, so they were connected together. Li Su climbed up with Lu Bu, while Lu Bu relied on Li Su's relationship to control the Xiliang Army.

Hua Xiong and his men arrived at Sishui Pass and began to set up defenses. Who knew that before Sun Jian came, he saw a man with three thousand people and shouting at the bottom of the gate. It turned out that it was Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei. He believed that Sun Jian was both the front and a brave man. He was afraid that he would take the lead, so he secretly called his brother Bao Zhong and first led 3,000 horse and infantry troops to take a small path until the gate was fought. Hua Xiong also attracted interest when he saw him, and only brought five hundred Xiliang cavalry and rushed down the gate. Seeing Bao Zhong, he shouted: "Who is shouting here? You are looking for death. Come up and take a knife to me."

Bao Zhong couldn't help but feel timid when he saw Hua Xiong's appearance. No wonder Bao Zhong was afraid. Hua Xiong was nine feet tall, with a tiger body, a wolf waist, and a leopard head and ape arms. He was indeed very powerful and had the style of a powerful general. He was only a third-rate general, and he was definitely not a match for Hua Xiong. Although he brought 3,000 people, he was all infantry who had just put down his hoe. Hua Xiong only brought 500 people, but Hua Xiong was all equipped with the battle-hardened Western Liang Iron Cavalry, so he was definitely not an opponent. So he turned around and ran away. Hua Xiong finally got some interest, so how could he allow him to run away? So he shouted: "Don't leave, the thief."

Then he rushed over and killed Bao Zhong with one knife. As for those under Bao Zhong's command, those who were also arrested and killed, the three thousand people disappeared. Hua Xiong saw this scene and laughed back. Then he sent someone to send a letter to Dong Zhuo. After receiving it, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and appointed Hua Xiong as the governor.

Not long after, Sun Jian led his four generals to Sishui Pass and called in the gate. His four generals were the first, from Tuyin, Youbeiping, with his surname Cheng, his name was Pu, his name Demou, and his name was Demou, and he used an iron-ridge snake spear; the second, his surname was Huang, his name was Gai, his name Gongfu, and his name was Lingling, and he used an iron whip; the third, his surname was Han, his name Dang, his name Yigong, and his name was Lingzhi, his name was Lingzhi, and he used a big knife; the fourth, his surname was Zu, his name was Mao, his name was Darong, and his name was Fuchun, Wujun, and he used a double sword. Sun Jian wore a bad silver armor, wrapped in red silk, and Henggu

He was ingot knife, riding a flower-maned horse, and pointed at Hua Xiong on the closed side and cursed him. He had been scolding Hua Xiong since Dong Zhuo, and scolding the Western Liang army was completely useless. Sun Jian had also had a business with Dong Zhuo before. When he asked these people to rebel in Han Sui, Liangzhou, Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo were all subordinates of General Zhang Wen of the chariot and cavalry. He had long been dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo and wanted Zhang Wen to kill Dong Zhuo at that time, but Zhang Wen disagreed with it at that time. There was nothing about Dong Zhuo, but the conflict between the two arose like this. Sun Jian naturally had no good feelings for Dong Zhuo.

Hua Xiong couldn't help but get angry when he saw Sun Jian cursing below. However, when he thought that Bao Zhong was so useless last time, he was too lazy to go down to deal with Sun Jian himself, so he let his deputy general Hu Zhen take action. Hu Zhen brought five thousand people to the gate, but Sun Jian didn't say anything. Cheng Pu, his subordinate, rushed up with an iron spear, and solved Hu Zhen with one shot. Sun Jian led his troops to charge, and the five thousand people led by Hu Zhen was instantly defeated. Sun Jian originally planned to take the opportunity to rush into the gate, but he was shot by the archers on the locked up so he couldn't raise his head, so he had to retreat. However, he still sent someone to send the battle report to Yuan Shao, which was also a show of merit. At the same time, he went to Yuan Shu to urge food and grass. One of the Yuan Shao brothers was the leader of the alliance and the other became the food and grass officers, so the military rations of the princes naturally had them responsible.

When Li Su saw Hu Zhen dead like this, he finally caught Hua Xiong's foot. So he blamed Hua Xiong, saying that Hua Xiong was not good at fighting and wanted to punish Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong was not a fool. Knowing that Li Su and Lu Bu had a good relationship, he might be here to punish him this time, so he quickly patted his chest and said that he would fight with all his heart and defeat Sun Jian. Seeing Hua Xiong doing this, it was not easy for Li Su to make things difficult for Hua Xiong in front of so many people. After all, Hua Xiong is still very prestigious in the Xiliang Army and he can't do anything he can. So he turned his eyes and said, "Okay. Then you will sneak attack Sun Jian's military camp from a small road tonight. I will face the enemy head-on, and we will attack him in both directions. Sun Jian is a new arrival, and he must not understand the terrain. In addition, the account establishment is not stable, and we will definitely win a great victory."

What Li Su thought was that when Hua Xiong really attacked from behind, he was looking for reasons not to attack. With Sun Jian's reputation, it should not be a problem to deal with Hua Xiong's sneak attack. At that time, Hua Xiong will definitely suffer. Even if he does not lose somewhere, he will lose a lot of troops, so that he will make things difficult for him. After hearing this, Hua Xiong felt that there was any conspiracy, but he also thought that the plan was good, so he agreed.
