Chapter 25 The princes jointly fought against Dong Zhuo and Lv Bu before the battle of Qunxiongguan (14
After Sun Jian tossed his bow, he pulled a distance from Hua Xiong. Zu Mao took the horse closer and said, "The lord's head is clear to everyone. I'm afraid the thief behind me also knows. The lord can take off his clothes and put it on me to attract the thief.
Hearing this, Sun Jianhu said with tears in his eyes, "Wouldn't it be good if Da Rong went on my behalf? I regret not listening to the mage's words, so that you and I have come to this desperate situation.
Zu Mao said, "Lord, don't think too much! It is also common for the two armies to fight against Ma Ge's corpses. Since Mao is a soldier, he does not regret his death in the battlefield. What's more, it's not in vain for Mao to help his master out of trouble.
When Sun Jian heard the words, he took off his eyes with tears and changed into Zu Mao's helmet, and the two fled separately. Hua Xiong led the soldiers to chase after him again. Only when he recognized the man with the red on his head, Sun Jian escaped from the path.
Zu Mao was chased by Huaxiong. He knew that he could not get out of trouble and felt a little regretful. He was not afraid of death, but Zu Mao blamed himself very much when he thought that he had prevented Sun Jian from retreating and caused a fiasco. He took the initiative to lure the enemy for Sun Jian, and also wanted to make up for his mistakes.
Seeing that there is no way to escape ahead, there is only one burned waste house. Zu Mao took off the red and hung it on the inexhaustible pillar, and he dived into the woods with two knives to hide.
Hua Xiong's army saw Chiqi from a distance through the moonlight and thought it was Sun Jian, and the army dared not approach. In a moment, Hua Xiong also chased closer. He was afraid that Sun Jian, the tiger and beast in the east of the river, would still fight, so he ordered the soldiers to shoot it with arrows.
The soldiers made them open their bows and arrows like rain, but the red man did not move, and no one shouted. At this time, Hua Xiong knew that it was a plan, so he went forward to get the red.
Zu Mao hid in the forest, with a powerful army on all sides. He knew that Hua Xiong would search on all sides after taking the red. At that time, no matter how difficult it was for him to hide, it would be better to go out and fight now. Even if he died, he would be more heroic than being searched and killed. Zu Mao just had an idea. Before he came out of the forest, he heard the shouts behind him.
Hua Xiong was also shocked by holding Chiyi, and many soldiers and horses came from nowhere. When he listened carefully, someone sang in the shouting: "Ten thousand people are one, and Mount Tai can be shaken! Only loyal and righteous, angry bullfighting! The mage kissed me, better than my parents! If you violate the military order, you are not free..."
Huaxiong was even more shocked when he heard this military song. I don't know why Nanye came here. Hua Xiong knows that Nan Ye is powerful, and several of his subordinates will be comparable to Lv Bu. He no longer had time to search for Sun Jian. He took a knife and led people to rush out. It seemed that he faintly saw Nan Ye take the lead, followed closely by Dian Wei and Zhou Cang. Zhao Yun, the left wing, led Zhang Baiqi, Guan Hai and Pei Yuan Shao into no man's land. Sun Jian, a right-winger, led Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang to fight hard. Behind him were Zhang Yu, Yu Jin, Zhang Yan and others who led countless armies.
Hua Xiong was almost scared to pee when he saw this scene, and led the army to retreat. Zu Mao saw that Sun Jian was safe in the forest, and the reinforcements of Master Guanghua came again. He knew that he was alive in death, and tears of excitement could not be suppressed.
Nan Ye followed Sun Jian all the way and also set up a camp not far from Hulao Pass, watching the movement in Sun Jian's camp every day. Tonight, when the camp soldiers saw the fire in Sun Jian's camp, Nan Ye immediately ordered troops to rescue him. He first received Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang, killed Li Su's soldiers and horses, and then came to save Sun Jian and Zu Mao.
After Sun Jian and Zu Mao escaped from the path, they also wanted to meet Cheng Pu and others, and they were facing Nan Ye's leading troops. Sun Jian didn't have time to say anything else, but asked Nan Ye to send troops to save Zu Mao together.
Nan Ye was naturally agreeing for this matter, which saved Zu Mao at the last moment and scared Hua Xiong away. Zu Mao wiped the tears on his face and came out of the forest to see Sun Jian and Nan Ye and said, "Zu Mao has seen the lord and mage. I didn't listen to the mage's words, so that the lord's army was defeated and almost died. Mao's crime deserves to die, and please punish him.
Sun Jian is too late to see that Zu Mao is safe and happy. How can he be punished? He said to Zu Mao, "Darong is fine if there is nothing to do! Fortunately, the mage came in time, otherwise it would be difficult for me to see each other again!" After saying that, Sun Jian said to Nan Ye, "Thank you for coming to help! Today's defeat is caused by my failure to listen to the mage's advice. Please don't blame Darong again.
Nan Ye smiled and said, "How can I be blamed since I came to save him?" At this point, it doesn't make any contribution to punishing anyone. Why don't we pursue and kill Hua Xiong together and make new achievements!"
Sun Jian also came to his spirits when he heard the words and said, "What the mage said is very true! Darong is better than plead with guilt and self-blame, and it is not in vain for the mage to save your life.
Zu Mao knelt down and said, "Thank you for saving me!" I'm going to kill Hua Xiong."
After saving Zu Mao, Nan Ye and Sun Jian fought together and chased Hua Xiong for a long time. They went straight to dawn and drove Hua Xiong back to the tiger prison before they stopped. The two armies set off the camp, and Sun Jian reported to Yuan Shao that he was almost defeated by the lack of food in the camp.
Yuan Shao was shocked to learn that Sun Jian's defeat was saved by Nan Ye: "I don't want Sun Wentai to be defeated by Hua Xiong!"
Guo Tu, a counselor under the account, said, "The vanguard is defeated, and the lord should gather the princes to break through the customs together."
Yuan Shao ordered the princes to meet in front of the customs according to what Guo Tu said, and everyone rushed to the news. When the princes gathered again, Yuan Shao asked everyone to sit down and discuss the march. Yuan Shao said, "The day before yesterday, General Bao's brother did not follow the dispatch and entered the army without authorization, resulting in the death of many sergeants. Today, Wentai was defeated by Hua Xiong again. What should I do?
Bao Xin was too pale to say anything when he heard the words, but Sun Jian couldn't swallow it. He pointed to Yuan Shao and said, "Dong Zhuo has no grudge against me. Now I am desperate to fight to the death with Dong Zhuo. The top is for the country to fight for thieves, and the bottom is for the general's family. Originally, I had won a battle and took the head of Hu. It was all because Yuan Highway listened to the slander and did not send food and fodder. If the illegal teacher rescues me, my life will be rested. Now it's enough for the alliance leader not to reward his previous achievements, but what's the reason for blaming me for frustrating morale? Is it just because Yuan Highway and the alliance leader are brothers?
Yuan Shao knew the cause and effect. Although he was not at odds with Yuan Shu, at least he was his own brother. To save some face for Yuan Shu, he stared at Yuan Shu and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the literary platform?"
Yuan Shu saw that the princes were staring at him with fear and had no courage to admit that he had done it, so he said, "The food and fodder arrived late due to the negligence of my subordinates, and I did not do it intentionally. I then ordered people to behead the person who supervised the grain to thank General Sun. Please don't blame the alliance leader.
When Yuan Shao saw that Yuan Shu was still interesting, he nodded to himself and said to Sun Jian, "The highway has admitted his mistake. I will reward 50 good horses in Wentai to thank him for his achievements. What do you think?"
Sun Jian knew that Yuan Shu's so-called murder was nothing more than killing a cat and dog to prevaricate himself, but Yuan Shao was still a little sincere. The key is that it is not easy for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to admit their mistakes face to face, and Sun Jian doesn't want to hold on to it anymore. Otherwise, the situation can only leave the coalition by himself, and it is impossible to drive Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu away. So he nodded and said, "Since it's the fault of the subordinates, it's my fault that I'm the highway general. Please don't blame the leader and the general."
Yuan Shao was relieved to see that Sun Jian took advantage of the slope and the donkey was no longer pursued, but the princes in the account are not fools. Who can see this middle way? Most of the princes were afraid of the power of the Yuan family and did not dare to do anything. Nan Ye and Cao Cao are not afraid of Yuan Shao, but both of them have some cities, and it is not easy to investigate in order to take care of the overall situation. But don't forget that there are still three angry youths in this handsome account.
When Liu, Guan and Zhang saw Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's faces, they couldn't help sneering there. Yuan Shao saw the three people standing behind Gongsun Zan, but his face was extremely unhappy. I thought to myself, "I don't know who these three people are. The princes have no objection, but you dare to laugh at me. You really deserve to die."
Yuan Shao couldn't help asking, "Who is behind Gongsun Taishou?" Why did the three of us laugh when we discussed the big event?
Listen to Yuan Shao's question, the princes all looked at the three, and Yuan Shu stared at the three. Seeing this, Gongsun Zan hurriedly led Liu Bei and Yuan Shao to see the ceremony and said, "This man is my brother since I was a child, and the plain ordered Liu Bei."
Although Cao Cao did not meet Liu Bei and Nan Ye when he calmed down the yellow scarf, he heard the names of the two at that time and said, "Is it Liu Xuande who broke the yellow scarf with the mage?"
Gongsun Zan knew that Cao Cao's identity among the princes can be said to be second only to Yuan Shao and Nan Ye. Seeing that Cao also knew Liu Bei, he smiled and said, "Yes!" After saying that, Liu Bei and Cao Cao saluted.
