Xingyang is the early spring season, and everything is revived.

He had just defeated Cao Cao's five thousand troops from the bank of the Bian River and returned victoriously, but he failed to keep Cao Cao, which made Xu Rong feel quite regretful.

"General, there is an envoy sent by Guangluxun to ask for his visit!" Xu Rong was checking defense and replenishing food and supplies, but saw a person coming hurriedly and bowing to Xu Rong and saying.

"Guang Luxun? Chen Mo?" Xu Rong said in surprise: "Why did he come?"

He seemed to have no friendship with this Guangluxun. After thinking about it, Xu Rong nodded and said, "Let him come in."

Although he had no friendship, Chen Mo was kind to others in Luoyang and had a good relationship with Lu Bu, Hua Xiong and others. Although he didn't know why the other party's envoy came here, he still had to meet him.

After a while, a soldier was busy and rushed in. When he saw Xu Rong, he bowed and said, "I am not good at ease, please see the general!"

"He is a good soldier." Xu Rong looked at the soldier and nodded and smiled, "What's the matter with Guangluxun asking you to come here?"

"Go back to the general, my general is in the Songshan area." The general Chen Mo was ordered to go to Yingchuan to investigate, but was almost stopped. Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to arrest Chen Mo and said it again: "Now my general has set up a suspicious formation and lured Sun Jian toward Xingyang. He wanted to ask the general to send troops to attack Sun Jian and destroy his aura!"

"I don't expect that although Guangluxun is young, he has the style of a general." Xu Rong praised him, and what he admired even more was Chen Mo's hostility. Yuan Shu sent troops to rob him. With only fifty people around him, it was a blessing that he could escape his life. After Chen Mo calmly avoided the other party's pursuit, he actually wanted to bite the other party. This may be too hostile to others, but it is indeed a matter of course to the eyes of soldiers like Xu Rong.

Especially since this opponent is Sun Jian, who is known as the tiger in Jiangdong, but he has no fear at all, Xu Rong admires it quite well.

"Tell you the general, I will repel Sun Jian. As for whether you can completely destroy him, it depends on your general's ability." Xu Rong said with a smile.

He was confident of defeating Sun Jian, but if the other party wanted to escape, the Central Plains would be flat. No matter how powerful Xu Rong was, he would not be able to completely kill the other party. However, this place could not be. If Sun Jian wanted to retreat, he would definitely have to go to the Songshan area, but Chen Mo had a chance.

"Here!" The soldier bowed and said, "Let's go now. In addition, Sun Jian is chasing here all the way. Bei Zhi is riding a horse faster, but Sun Jian is only one day away at most. His troops are about a thousand people. I hope the general will prepare early."

"Go." Xu Rong nodded, indicating that he knew.

"General, am we really going to send troops?" After the soldiers left, a captain looked at Xu Rong and said, "The coalition of princes will be close to each other. If the opponent takes advantage of the situation and attacks..."

"Ha~" Xu Rong sneered disdainfully when he heard this: "If they had such a courage, they would not be Cao Cao's only one who was defeated by me the day before yesterday. When they decided to attack Xingyang, Sun Jian's head might have been sent to Luoyang!"

After the princes formed an alliance, they had no intention of making progress. They learned from the news that the other party drank and had fun all day long, and the camp was quite scattered. If it weren't for the insufficient troops in their hands and the rivers were blocking each other, Xu Rong really had the intention to kill and capture a few princes.

"Transfer our military orders and order three thousand troops to follow me to fight!" Xu Rong hung his sword around his waist and said loudly.

"Here!"

...

Outside Xingyang City, it is still the bank of the Bian River.

"Wow~" Sun Jian looked at the messy battlefield ahead and strangled the war horse.

"Lord!" Huang Gai rode his horse and came to Sun Jian and bowed and said, "Depending on the situation, it was the Xiliang army and our army that had fought here, and it seemed that our army was defeated."

Sun Jian nodded and said, "This place is close to Xingyang, why is there only this battlefield? The leader and the others did not move their troops?"

The generals did not know whether Yuan Shao had any troops to move. However, along the way, this was the first time they had seen traces of war between the two sides. It seemed that the Sourzao did not send troops there.

"Lord, this place is close to Xingyang, so Chen Mo probably has fled back to Xingyang. It is useless for us to pursue him again. Why not retreat to Luyang as soon as possible and report to Mr. Yuan?" Zu Mao stepped forward and bowed to Sun Jian and said.

"Well!" Sun Jian sighed, looked at the corpses around him and said, "If someone bury these corpses on the spot, they will be our soldiers. Don't let them expose the corpses like this."

Although I don’t know why Yuan Shu is so persistent in catching Chen Mo, it is obviously impossible to judge the current situation. No matter how confident Sun Jian is, he will not be able to kill the other person in Xingyang City with these more than a thousand men. After going back to explain to Yuan Shu, he advised Yuan Shu to directly break through Yique Pass and enter Luoyang.

How can a mere Chen Mo be important to break Luoyang?

"Here!" Everyone agreed and began to dig a hole in the bank of the river to bury the soldiers.

"Report!" Not long after, the scout who was responsible for the warning outside suddenly came to report and bowed to Sun Jian: "Lord, a large number of Xiliang soldiers appeared in Xingyang, and are coming to this side."

"Oh?" Sun Jian was not surprised and happy when he heard this: "How many people are there?"

"There are about two thousand people!" the scout said uncertainly.

One thousand to two thousand?

Sun Jian thought about it in his heart and said, "Notify all the soldiers and prepare to face the enemy!"

He had no way to attack Xingyang City, but if the other party came out of the city to fight, even if there were too many people, Sun Jian would not be afraid at all.

"Lord, it must be the reinforcements invited by Chen Mo after returning to the city!" Huang Gai smiled from the side. The soldiers followed Sun Jian through life and death for many years. They often do this kind of drama of winning with less, so even if they know that there are many people on the other side, as long as they dare to leave the city, they dare to fight.

"The little thief is ignorant and has never heard of the name of the tiger in Jiangdong!" Zu Mao said with a smile.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. Chen Mo is young, but he is quite meticulous and has had the merits of fighting against thieves." Sun Jian turned over and said, "But in this war, the opponents are not all Yellow Turban thieves. Now the Japanese general will teach him how to fight!"

When the generals laughed at the words, it was no wonder that they looked down on Chen Mo. After all, they were only a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. Even though they were a little talented and had won two battles, they were just a fight against the Yellow Turban thieves. I'm afraid they had never seen the real battlefield. But they were almost all veterans who fought from the battles and killed from time to time. Don't look at the few people, but if they really went to the battlefield to fight, they might not be crazy.

Everyone was preparing for war, but after a while, Xu Rong led three thousand troops to fight.

The number was more than expected, but Sun Jian was not afraid. Seeing the opponent's banner appear, he waved his hand. The archers rushed out from both wings like a pair of wings, and shot arrows towards the enemy's formation. At the same time, Sun Jian had already launched a charge with his men.

"What a tiger!" Before Xu Rong could establish a foothold, he was stopped by the other party. Seeing that Sun Jian had already launched a rush, he couldn't help but secretly praised Sun Jian for his bravery.

However, the Western Liang army has been fighting for many years, but they have never been afraid of anyone. At the moment, under the command of Xu Rong, hedging the battle. At the same time, they also pointed out two teams of thousands of people, surrounded from both wings, preparing to encircle Sun Jian's troops.

As soon as the two sides fought, Sun Jian found something wrong. This team was obviously elite, and he did not lose the least of the fight with them. The other party's commander was not a reckless man. He had already begun to surround him with the advantage of military strength. If the opponent really succeeded in siege, he would probably have to explain it here today.

"Breakthrough!" After discovering that something was wrong, Sun Jian also lost the intention of continuing to fight with the other party. The elite of the same level was not as confident as the more, so he ordered people to break out from the flank.

Xu Rong naturally saw Sun Jian's intention and kept calling the flag bearer to change the orders, shrinking his wings, and trying to completely swallow Sun Jian's team.

Sun Jian found that every time he changed the direction of the breakthrough, the other party could always make quick changes, making it difficult for him to break out. He secretly hated that this time he met an opponent, but his ability was not inferior to his, but his strength was three times that of his own. He shouldn't have fought with the other party rashly earlier.

But it’s too late to say anything at this time. The most important thing now is to break through.

The two sides were entangled and fought on the bank of the Bian River. Although Xu Rong had decided to win, it was quite difficult to keep Sun Jian completely. In the afternoon, the loss of the Xiliang army was getting bigger and bigger. If this continued, even if he could swallow Sun Jian's troops, he would suffer heavy losses.

After letting go of it a little, Sun Jian successfully broke out, he ordered the cavalry to chase him behind him, and Xu Rong led his army to cover up and kill him.

Sun Jian knew that Xu Rong did this to kill the soldiers under his command more effectively, but he was powerless, so he could only run wildly with the army, but the number of people around him was decreasing.

"Fight with them!" Seeing that the other party was chasing and fighting, Sun Jian fought south and north, and when was he chased and killed by someone like this? He felt cruel in his heart and wanted to turn around and fight with the other party.

Zu Mao and Huang Gai on the side quickly stopped Sun Jian and said, "Lord, you can't. Now, if you turn around and fight again, our army's morale has been lost, and it will be a dead end!"

Although Sun Jian's subordinates were all elite, they had already started to flee for more than half of their losses. There were not many people around him now. If they fought again, these people might not want to be defeated. They had to escape at this time.

"Then let these Xiliang thieves chase and fight?" Sun Jian glared. When did he suffer such humiliation in his life fighting?

"Lord, offend!" Zu Mao looked at the cavalry behind him and covered him up again, took off the red slut above Sun Jian's head, tied it to his head and said: "The last general leads his troops to lead the pursuers away, and overthrows the lord and protects the lord and escape!"

"Darong, how can you take risks?" Sun Jian frowned.

"Don't worry, lord, the thief army may not have killed me!" Zu Mao laughed and said, before Sun Jian could reply, he was already running in the other direction with a group of people.
