Chapter 49: The Battle at Sishui Pass

It is often so coincidental that the people sent back to deliver the letters to tell the princes that Sun Jian won the first battle. The princes were very happy. After all, this was a good start, which was a good omen. But they were all happy, but some were unhappy. This person was Yuan Shu. Speaking of Yuan Shu's position as the prefect of Nanyang, it was because Sun Jian killed Zhang Zi of Nanyang. Yuan Shu took the opportunity to sit on it. Sun Jian is now nominally a subordinate of Yuan Shu. Logically speaking, Yuan Shu should be very happy. But Yuan Shu

However, he thought that if he wanted Sun Jian to help him as the prefect of Nanyang, he had the right to be in Sun Jian's hands. Moreover, although Sun Jian was his subordinate, he was too brave and did not take himself seriously at all. Such a person would be too dangerous. If Sun Jian made great contributions in the battle to attack Dong Zhuo this time, he would drive away Dong Zhuo and drive away the tiger and wolf, then he would be even more unable to control Sun Jian, and Sun Jian's power would become bigger and bigger. Thinking of this, he pretended not to know and would not send food to Sun Jian.

This time, Sun Jian's troops were vanguards, and the army was behind, so they just took light chariots and didn't bring much food. Yuan Shu didn't send food, but he cheated Sun Jian. Without food in the army, it would naturally cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers, and the military camp was in chaos. At this time, Hua Xiong led his men to attack from behind and suddenly hit Sun Jian's weakness. Hua Xiong had almost no power to fight and set off a big fire in Hua Xiong's army. Sun Jian's entire military camp was completely in chaos. Li Su was originally planning to cheat Hua Xiong, but when he saw this scene, he knew that if he really didn't go out, it would be a contribution to Hua Xiong, so he also led his people to rush to Sun Jian's camp. The people led by Li Su even intensified the riots in Sun Jian's military camp.

Seeing this situation, Sun Jian sighed helplessly. He knew that things were not done, so he had to retreat with the defeated generals. But he wanted to run away, but others were unwilling to do so. In order not to let Li Su find reasons to deal with him, Hua Xiong insisted on catching Sun Jian, so he chased him desperately. Sun Jian took a magpie bow and shot three arrows in a row, and finally broke the bow, but still did not shoot at Hua Xiong. Sun Jian's subordinate Zu Mao looked at the red tassel on Sun Jian's head, which was still so conspicuous in the night, so he said, "Lord, the red tassel on your head is too conspicuous and it is easy to find it in the place. Why not exchange it with Mo Jiang, and have subordinates to protect your lord and retreat."

Sun Jian couldn't care so much at this time, so he quickly took off his helmet, exchanged with Zu Mao, and then continued to run. Zu Mao fled in another direction.

Hua Xiong couldn't tell which one was Sun Jian in the dark, so he had to chase the Hongying. Of course, Zu Mao's horse was not as good as Sun Jian's horse, so he was soon caught up by Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong didn't say anything and killed Zu Mao with one knife, but found that the person he killed was not Sun Jian. Knowing that he had been fooled, he took Sun Jian's helmet and turned around to chase. Sun Jian didn't run far away, and heard the sound of chasing behind him, knowing that Zu Mao might have encountered an accident, and he ran all night, tired of the man and horse, and he was not Hua Xiong's opponent, so he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Heaven will destroy me."

Then Huo Guang gathered himself and got closer and closer, and Sun Jian was also ready to die. Who knew that at this time, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of him and said to Sun Jian: "Premier Sun. Don't worry. I'll wait to save you."

Sun Jian suddenly opened his eyes and saw a group of people in front of him. The leader was a young man with an innocent face, holding a silver spear in his hand. At this time, Hua Xiong also arrived. When he saw Sun Jian, he shouted, "Sun Jian, where can I run."

The young man just now shouted: "Zhao Zilong of Changshan is here. Don't be arrogant when the enemy generals are arrogant."

After saying that, he rushed up and fought with Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong originally despised the young man Ou Dian, thinking that he was a young man who was ignorant of the world. However, after the two of them fought for several rounds, Hua Xiong put away his contempt and broke out in cold sweat. The young man's shooting skills were exquisite and he took quick action. The moves could kill people. Hua Xiong was a little overwhelmed. After all, he had been fighting for a night and was exhausted. Moreover, the people led by the young man were all cavalry, and his subordinates were not opponents. In desperation, Hua Xiong and proudly shouted: "Retreat."

Then take advantage of the opponent's pause and run.

When the young man saw Hua Xiong running away, he did not chase him. He came to Sun Jian and said, "Premier Sun. You are not injured, are you?" Sun Jian saw this life-savior asking himself, and quickly said, "Thank you for your life-saving kindness. I'm fine. I don't know who the general is? I can also repay the general's life-saving kindness in the future."

When the young man heard this, he smiled and said, "Premier Sun is polite. He is under the command of His Highness King Jin of Youzhou. His surname is Zhao's name and his courtesy name is Zilong. He was just doing his order just now, and there is no such grace as saving his life. Prefect Sun doesn't have to care."

That's right, the young man who appeared was Zhao Yun. Liu Bin had long known that Yuan Shu would not give Sun Jian food and grass, and also knew that Sun Jian would be defeated this night, so he sent Zhao Yun to support Sun Jian. Sun Jian was also the founder of Eastern Wu, and his two sons were also famous people in the world. Although Sun Jian died early, he was a character after all, and there was no loss in making friends. Moreover, even if this guy didn't save himself, he would not die. So it would be better to give him a favor.

When Sun Jian heard that he was under Liu Bin's command, he quickly said, "It turns out that he is a general under His Highness King Jin. I am polite here. I am grateful for the great kindness of King Jin. I am grateful for it. I wonder why General Zhao came here?" Zhao Yun suddenly came here. It happened so coincidental that he must have a purpose, so Sun Jian asked. He saw that Zhao Yun had excellent martial arts skills and was a talent. If he could, he would find a way to pull him under his command. Even if he couldn't, he would be considered as a personal favor. Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Your Highness King Jin heard that Yuan Shu had deliberately refused to transport food and grass to Prefect Sun. He was worried that Prefect Sun would have an unexpected situation, so he specially sent me to help Prefect Sun. Who knew that he was still one step late and let those people succeed. Fortunately, Prefect Sun was safe and sound, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain to my senior brother when I went back."

Only then did Sun Jian understand Zhao Yun’s purpose and also knew that Zhao Yun was Liu Bin’s junior brother, so this man would definitely not be able to follow him. So he gave up the idea of ​​recruiting Zhao Yun, but at this time he also knew that the reason for his failure was that Yuan Shu was making trouble in it, so he said, “I am ashamed. I have been tricked by a traitor and have lost my troops and generals. I’m afraid there is no way to attack the city now. Why don’t we go back first.”

Zhao Yun nodded, and then rushed to the land of the princes with Sun Jian.

On the way, when Sun Jian saw that the soldiers around Zhao Yun were so brave, he was even more envious and thought to himself: "No wonder the Youzhou Army under the command of King Jin is known as the No. 1 army in the world. It really makes sense. Even ordinary soldiers are so strong. And there are so many cavalry, the No. 1 army in the world is indeed well-known. Zhao Yun is so young and his martial arts are no less than himself. So, as his senior brother, King Jin, is so powerful? The No. 1 general in the world. It is really fascinating. King Jin can only communicate with each other and must not be an enemy."

The Youzhou Army and Zhao Yun's aura and combat power all exuded, which had a great impact on Sun Jian, which also made him frightened by Liu Bin, and the idea of ​​not daring to be an enemy emerged in his heart.

On the way to the lake district, Sun Jian and Zhao Yun encountered many remnants of Sun Jian. Among the four generals, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang, all came back, but Zu Mao did not return to Ali. Needless to say, he must have died under Hua Xiong's knife. There were only more than 3,000 people left in the army. Seeing this situation, Sun Jian couldn't help but feel blood in his heart, and he gritted his teeth for Yuan Shu. He vowed to settle the score with Yuan Shu when he went back.

Zhao Yun protected Sun Jian and others back to the location of the princes. Sun Jian first reported the military situation. When the princes heard this, he was shocked. Sun Jian was defeated like this. Is this Hua Xiong so powerful? Yuan Shao even sighed and said, "The day before yesterday, General Bao's brother refused to obey the order, advanced troops without authorization, killed himself and died, and lost many soldiers; now Sun Wentai is defeated by Hua Xiong again: What should I do if he is frustrated?" After hearing this, the princes remained silent. Sun Jian snorted coldly, and he couldn't care about so much. This time he lost his troops and generals, and suffered heavy losses. All of them were caused by Yuan Shu. What did he see Yuan Shu?

Can you be willing to do so? So he pointed at Yuan Shu and said, "If you didn't send me food and grass, how could there be chaos in our army? How could Huaxiong take the opportunity to break through my military camp? There are only 3,000 troops left in my tens of thousands, and even my beloved general died because of saving me. If His Highness King Jin sent someone to rescue me, I would probably be unable to escape. Dong Zhuo and I had no grudges. Now I will fight to the death and fight to the death. The superiors will fight the thieves for the country and the inferiors will give you the private interests of the Yuan family. Yuan Shu. You obey the slander and trap me in danger. You want to give me an explanation today. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

When Dong Zhuo knew that the leader of the princes was Yuan Shao this time, he had sent people to kill the Yuan family in Luoyang. Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui and others died of misfortune, and even their heads were hung at the gate of the city. That's why Sun Jian said this. Anyway, he had suffered such a huge loss and didn't care about his relationship with Yuan Shu. If he didn't give himself an explanation today, don't blame himself for doing it. Anyway, he was willing to do it. He was barefoot and was not afraid of wearing shoes.
