Chapter 44: Zhang Xiong and Hua Xiong

Sun Jian fled with the remaining soldiers, and Hua Xiong led his army to chase him! The red hair on Sun Jian's helmet was too eye-catching. The Western Liang Army knew that it must be the main general of the enemy. So he decided that the red hair was chasing him.

Zu Mao also discovered this situation and knew that it would be over if he ran like this. Wu Shun said to Sun Jian: "Lord, your head is so eye-catching. Take it off and change it with me!"

"Darong, put on my helmet. The Xiliang Army will not let you go. Let's run away quickly!" Sun Jian was unwilling to let the generals take risks.

"Lord, there is no time, hurry up! Otherwise I will die in front of you immediately!" Zu Mao said as if he was pursuing his sword.

"Okay, I'll change it!" Sun Jian couldn't bear to die like this, so he had to take off his helmet and hand it over to Yu Zumao.

Zu Mao changed into Sun Jian's helmet and led a team of people to escape to the other side. The Xiliang Army saw the tuft of red hair going to the other side, and quickly rushed straight to Zu Mao. The Xiliang Army was chasing Sun Jian, and it was easy for Sun Jian to escape from the small path.

Zumao was chased by the Western Liang army too tightly, and he had no way to enter the ground. Fortunately, there was a forest ahead to hide. Zumao hung Sun Jian's helmet on an unburned pillar and took his soldiers into the forest to hide.

In the moonlight, the Xiliang army saw that the tuft of hair stopped and did not dare to attack at will. They could only encircle that area.

After Hua Xiong arrived, he shot at the helmet with a bow and arrow, and then he realized that he had fallen into a trap. He could only lead his troops forward and chased him. He found the forest where Zu Mao was hiding. Hua Xiong ordered the soldiers to stop. However, he did not expect Zu Mao to break out of the forest and took Hua Xiong straight to Hua Xiong. Seeing the enemy general coming, Hua Xiong was calm and picked up his big sword and killed Zu Mao with one clean and neat sword.

The fight lasted until dawn, and Hua Xiong withdrew his troops and returned to Sishui Pass.

After Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang found Sun Jian, Sun Jian learned about Zu Mao's death in battle. He was heartbroken for a moment, and the hero burst into tears and regretted it!

"The lord cannot do this. Darong is also for the lord to escape and die as much as possible!" the three generals comforted him.

Sun Jian also knew that people could not be resurrected by death, so he could only hide his grief and anger in his heart, and he would definitely avenge Zu Mao in the future!

The defeat is an indisputable fact, so Sun Jian had to send someone to tell Yuan Shao about his defeat, and at the same time he hoped that Yuan Shao would march faster to meet his defeated army. Now he has no grain of rice!

Sun Jian, with the remaining soldiers, was about to leave, heading towards the direction of the sour jujube and joining the coalition forces. Unexpectedly, a group of soldiers appeared in front of him, and they were coming in full force.

"I am going to die, Sun Jian shouted?" Sun Jian sighed.

Surrendering without fighting is not the style of his Sun family. A brave and powerful general like Sun Jian would rather die in battle than surrender if he was afraid of death!

"Which brother Wentai is in front of me?" Wu Shun saw a group of people in front of him, with a Sun-shaped flag fluttering in the wind, and asked loudly.

When Sun Jian heard the person asking questions, he knew that it was a friend but a enemy, and most of the worries in his heart disappeared.

"But Brother Wuling Zixuan has arrived in person?" It seems that the man is dressed in bright clothes and armor, and his army is neat. Who else can be seen if he is not the Wuling Army?

"Why did Brother Wentai come here?" Wu Shun asked strangely. Didn't Sun Jian win the battle first when he appeared in Sishui Pass? How could he have achieved his current moral character? Was he defeated by Hua Xiong because Yuan Shu deducted military rations?

Seeing that Sun Jian had lost his helmet, his armor was broken, and his soldiers were all exhausted. The three generals bowed to Wu Shun with a sad face, saying hello, and there was also Zu Mao Zu Darong. It seemed that Sun Jian was indeed defeated and even lost the general.

"Alas, Hua Xiong was treacherous and knew that my camp was short of food. He attacked at night. In order to get me away, Darong fled and divided his troops and was chopped off by Hua Xiong!"

Sun Jian became more and more angry as he spoke, and he wished he could raise his troops to fight to the Sishui Pass again and fight to the death with Hua Xiong!

"Brother Wentai is mourning. Now he can only camp on the spot and wait for the coalition forces to arrive and make plans!" Wu Shun said.

He has few soldiers, but he will not choose to challenge before the pass.

Sun Jian could understand that Wu Shun was unwilling to fight. At least 50,000 defenders in Sishui Pass, Wu Shun's less than 10,000 Wu Ling's army was not enough to be stuck in the gaps. What's more, Hua Xiong was a powerful general, and the Xiliang army was indeed elite.

Wu Shun and Sun Jian set up camp on the spot to wait for the coalition forces. The next day, Hua Xiong led his troops to the front of the camp to fight. Wu Shun hangs the battle card and refuses to go out.

"Brother, just let me kill the enemy general. That guy is really impatient!"

Zhang Xiong saw that Hua Xiong showed off his power outside the camp and wanted to fight, but Wu Shun did not allow it. All the generals under the tent asked for the battle. Guan Hai asked for the battle but refused. Shi Zhongyu asked for the battle but refused. Shamoke asked for the battle but refused! The generals under Wu Shun were very frustrated.

"General Zhang, isn't the lord afraid of Hua Xiong, right?"

Shi Zhongyu repeatedly asked for battle but was rejected. He deliberately said loudly, and Wu Shun in the tent could hear it. Wu Shun said it, it was not time for you to go to fight, wait a little longer!

"Give up, will my elder brother be afraid? Can't you see that my elder brother is waiting for an opportunity..." Zhang Xiong has a bad temper and cannot hear anyone say bad things about Wu Shun. He spitted Shi Zhongyu and his face was covered with a slut.

Shi Zhongyu was helpless. Zhang Xiong was straightforward and couldn't understand what he meant. He didn't dare to contradict Zhang Xiong. Shi Zhongyu was still quite awe of Zhang Xiong's strength. His life was almost thrown into this guy's hands.

"Since that's the case, I'm going to patrol."

After finding the excuse, Shi Zhongyu left. He always felt a little guilty when facing Zhang Xiong, and it was very uncomfortable! He felt that this might be due to the huge gap in strength, so when it was okay, Shi Zhongyu would work hard to practice martial arts!

Hua Xiong challenged Sun Jian by name in front of the camp. Sun Jian wanted to fight several times, but Wu Shun persuaded him to get out.

"My brother, don't persuade me anymore. Today I will kill Hua Xiong's dog head!"

Because of Zu Mao, Sun Jian hated Hua Xiong to the core.

"Brother Wentai, now our army is weak, so we can only close the camp gate and wait for assistance. We must not act rashly! When the coalition forces arrive, Shun Bibi's troops will join his brother to enter Guanzhong and fight against Hua Xiong!"

What Wu Shun said is reasonable. It is indeed not suitable for him to fight at a young age. Sun Jian could only press his restless heart and drink a big bowl of wine to relieve his boredom!

Soon, Yuan Shao led the coalition of princes and finally arrived. Yuan Shao asked all the princes to make a record and discuss major events. Seeing that there were three people following Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao asked, and Gongsun Zan told him about Liu Bei's identity and the contribution of the attack on the Yellow Turbans.

Liu Bei was about to deliver his endless speech, but Yuan Shao put it back in one sentence. "Since Xuande is a relative of the Han Dynasty, please sit down!" It turned out that Yuan Shao was just respecting his name as a relative of the Han Dynasty.

After entering the tent, Sun Jian’s first thing was to ask Yuan Shu why he detained his military rations, which led to a great defeat!

However, Yuan Shu said that the military rations were distributed on time and in accordance with the quantity, and there was no deduction. Sun Jian was extremely angry and wanted to arrest Yuan Shu, but Wu Shun, who was standing aside, pressed it in advance.

"Previously, General Bao's younger brother Bao Zhong refused to obey the order and showed up privately, and was defeated by Hua Xiong. Unexpectedly, Wentai is also defeated by Hua Xiong, who else can fight now!"

As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao naturally had to summarize the results of the battle first and then distribute the tasks.

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, the princes below remained silent, and even the tigers in Jiangdong were defeated. It would definitely be impossible to get it if they went up alone.

The anger in the tent began to feel a little embarrassed. A messenger came in and reported to Yuan Shao: "Huaxiong carried Sun Taishou's helmet with a bamboo pole and was shouting and scolding outside the camp for a fight!"

"Who can go out to fight and kill that Hua Xiong!" Yuan Shao asked.

Wu Shun originally wanted to let Zhang Xiong fight and gain fame for Zhang Xiong. With Zhang Xiong's strength, it would be easy to defeat Zhang Xiong! But just like the red flowers need green leaves as a support to look beautiful. Others have to go first to highlight Zhang Xiong's outstanding skills!

Yuan Shu winked behind him, and one person came out and said, "The young general is willing to go!"

The princes looked closely and found that it was Yu She, a brave general under Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he saw someone going to fight and immediately ordered Yu She to go to fight. After a while, a soldier reported that Yu She fought with Hua Xiong and was beheaded on the horse. The princes were shocked, and Yuan Shu even cursed Yu She to waste.

At this time, the morale of the coalition forces could not be degraded. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, said: "There is a general in our army, Pan Feng, who can kill Hua Xiong!" Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered Pan Feng to fight. Not long after, another soldier came to report: "General Pan was also beheaded by Hua Xiong!"

The princes were shocked, not expecting that Hua Xiong was so powerful!

Wu Shun's attention was focused on Gongsun Zan at this time, and more precisely, on the three people behind Gongsun Zan. Liu Bei's three brothers, the three musketeers at the end of the Han Dynasty, Wu Shun finally saw the real person. Liu Bei was white and clean, with big ears and long hands, not as exaggerated as earrings to his shoulders, and his hands were over the knees!

Guan Yu looked similar to what later generations described. He was nine feet long, with red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, and two feet long beards under his jaw. As for Zhang Fei, he looked like a rough and fierce man!

Seeing that no one answered the princes, Yuan Shao pretended to say, "It's a pity that our general Yan Liangwen Chou is not here. Anyone here will not be afraid of Hua Xiong..."

"A man like Hua Xiong, I'm willing to go to fight, kill his head and offer it to the general!"

Before Yuan Shao finished speaking, he was interrupted by a man. Yuan Shao asked, "Who are you?"

Gongsun Zan replied: "This is Xuande's second brother, his surname is Guan, Yu, and his name is Yunchang."

"But Guan Yunchang, who made many contributions when he attacked the Yellow Turbans?" Cao Cao asked. When he attacked the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao had heard of Liu Bei, so he naturally had some understanding of Guan Yu's bravery.

"It's this person!" Gongsun Zan replied.

Yuan Shao asked again: "Where is Guan Yu's current official position?"

Gongsun Zan replied: "The horse bow is long after Xuande's tent."

Yuan Shu heard a long bow and horse and wanted to go to war. He didn't take these princes seriously. He just turned the general Yu She away, and at this moment he was full of anger and finally found the vent.

"A archer wants to go out to fight. Do you despise the lack of generals under the princes? Don't make trouble here, come and blow me out!"

"There is no need to be like this on the road. Guan Yu can say such words, he must have the corresponding strength. If he can win, then Hua Xiong will not seem to be full of talents in the coalition forces? If he loses, it will not be too late to blame him!" Cao Cao hurriedly advised.

"I'm afraid that Hua Xiong will be ridiculed by Hua Xiong," said Yuan Shao.

At this time, Wu Shun was waiting for him. Yuan Shao was also disliked Guan Yu, and most of the princes were not optimistic about a horse archer. How much force could he have with such a low position? In fact, Guan Yu's position was dragged down by Liu Bei. After the Battle of the Yellow Turbans, Liu Bei was appointed as the magistrate of Pingyuan County. How many soldiers could Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have?

Cao Cao was about to say something, but was interrupted by Wu Shun's words: "President Yuan, I have a powerful general Zhang Xiong under my tent. It would be no difficult to kill Hua Xiong!"

"Zixuan has such a powerful general, and he can take the lead and fight quickly!"

Yuan Shao was naturally happy to hear that Wu Shun was willing to work, so he immediately ordered Zhang Xiong to fight. After all, he was a general under the command of a county prefect, and his status was much higher than that of Ma Gong Chang Guan Yu.

"Second brother, be careful in this battle!" Wu Shun said to Zhang Xiong. Although he believed in Zhang Xiong's strength, he was really worried.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll go back!" Zhang Xiong said impatiently as a big brother was willing to let him go to the battle.

"General Zhang is heroic, after drinking this glass of wine, it's not too late to fight again!" Cao Cao saw Zhang Xiong's domineering aura and ordered someone to warm up a glass of wine and hand it to Zhang Xiong!
