Chapter 254 The Plan of Separation

Chapter 254

"Look where you are still fleeing." Bao Tao just hung Bao Xin's helmet and a big helmet on the branch, and heard Hua Xiong behind him shouting and killing him. Bao Tao dared to stay there. He hurried into the woods beside him and found a hidden place to squat down quietly.

"When it is." The sound of gold and iron strike came. It turned out that Hua Xiong cut the helmet hanging on the branch.

"Where are you, Bao Xin? Come out and die." Hua Xiong chased for a long time, but what he didn't want to catch was just a helmet and a big box. Suddenly, he roared angrily.

"General, we are chasing after him all the way. Even if Bao Xin is cunning, he can't escape. Why don't we look for it again?" Seeing that Hua Xiong was furious, his cronies around him quickly came forward to comfort him.

"Well, even if you turn around here, you have to find Bao Xin. I don't believe he can fly." With the reminder from his cronies, Hua Xiong no longer hesitated and turned his horse's head and chased after the other side. Hua Xiong is also very experienced in this kind of pursuit. Generally speaking, this kind of trick that makes Li Daitao stiff to Bao Tao is attacking from east to west. Since Bao Xin's helmet and a big mantle are left here, Bao Xin is likely to be on the other side. It's just that Hua Xiong has wasted too much time at this time. It's really difficult to catch up with Bao Xin again. What's more, it's just a guess about Bao Xin's escape path.

Although Hua Xiong searched all the nearby mountains that night, he still couldn't find the trace of Bao Xin.

"It's not a way for the general to find it like this. In fact, the general's night attack on Bao Xin led to the defeat of Bao Xin. It's already a great achievement to escape in a hurry. Why does the general care too much about Bao Xin's life and death? It's also difficult to think about Bao Xin's defeat this time and turn over in the future." Seeing that he couldn't find the trace of Bao Xin, the cronies around Hua Xiong persuaded him.

"Well, the brothers have been busy all night. Let's go back now. Let Bao Xin live for a few days and kill him when the prime minister arrives." Seeing that there would be no result if he looked for it again, Hua Xiong had to lead the troops back to the water pass first.

When Hua Xiong returned to the water pass, he suddenly found that there were many more soldiers at the gate. It seemed that reinforcements had come.

"Hahaha, General Hua Xiong, why did you come back now? I have heard from the soldiers who came back about your night attack on Bao Xin. It's really beautiful." Seeing Hua Xiong coming back, Niu Fu didn't know when he came up and congratulated Hua Xiong.

"Ha ha, General Quan Lai is well commanded. Hua Xiong just did something that should be done. What is there to be proud of?" Hua Xiong touched his beard with an excited expression, but he said without bowing, "It's a pity that I couldn't catch Bao Xin, a thief. It's always a little shortcoming."

"Ha ha, Bao Xin is no more than a town of princes. Even if you kill him, it won't help much in the war. It doesn't matter whether you can kill him or not. But it's the general's defeat to Bao Xin this time. You and I finally got rid of the shadow of the previous failure in Runan. This is even more worthy of celebration. Compared with Bao Xin's life and death, Niu Fu cares more about the symbolic significance of this battle. The victory of this battle, Niu Fu and Hua Xiong, can be said to have finally saved face.

"What the general said is very true. I think there are a lot of soldiers in this. It's not that we have reinforcements, so that we can attack the coalition of princes." Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Hua Xiong was more confident in the defeat of the coalition of princes at this time.

"You're only half right. We are here as reinforcements, but we are not ordinary reinforcements. Instead, the Lord Xiangguo has personally led his troops to the Fenshui Pass. Niu Fu said excitedly.

"What? Did the prime minister come to the water pass? Doesn't that mean that Lv Bu also came to the water pass? Oh, it's not easy to win a battle. I thought I could show my strength. If General Lv Bu arrives, I'm afraid you and I can only follow behind and make a little trouble. Unlike Niu Fu's excited expression at this time, as soon as he heard the news that Dong Zhuo had come to Weishuiguan, Hua Xiong first withered.

"Ha ha, General Hua Xiong, you are wrong. If Lv Bu also came to the water pass, could I still be so relaxed? Although I don't know what the reason is, Lv Bu did not come to Weishuiguan with the Prime Minister this time. That's why I'm here to welcome General Huaxiong. This time, it's time for the general to fight back for our Xiliang army. In recent years, Lv Bu's bravery has covered up the glory of our Xiliang army. This time, we can reshape the strength of our Xiliang army with the help of the princes. The more Niu Fu talked, the more excited he became.

"So that's it. This bothers the general. The general can rest assured that I, Hua Xiong, will kill the enemy with all my strength, and will live up to the high expectations of the general. At the same time, I will repay the Prime Minister's kindness." Knowing that Lv Bu did not appear at the Fenshui Pass, Hua Xiong's eyes once again glowed. Niu Fu was right. Lv Bu has been so conspicuous that he, the first general of Xiliang, has been forgotten. However, it seems that all this will pass soon. Hua Xiong's name will be enjoyed with this battle with the princes. Known as Huaxia.

When Niu Fu took Hua Xiong to the big tent of the army in Fenshuiguan, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and a group of generals were already there.

"Congratulations to General Huaxiong for winning, breaking through Bao Xinjun and greatly increasing the prestige of our army." Seeing Hua Xiong coming in, Zhang Ji, who was beside him, hurried forward to say to Hua Xiong.

"Haha, General Zhang Ji praised that Bao Xin is just a mob. Naturally, it is not a problem for our army to beat him. It's just that we didn't take Bao Xin's head, which is really a little shortcoming." Seeing Zhang Ji's congratulations, Hua Xiong said with some regret.

"General Hua said very well, but this time the Prime Minister personally supervised the army, and the general was afraid that he would not have a chance to take Bao Xin's head? Not to mention Bao Xin's head, even Yuan Shao's head should be taken together this time. Li Ru also came forward and said at this time.

"You fought very well in Huaxiong's battle. When you return to Luoyang, I will immediately make you a general. You have to do more for this rebellion of the princes." Dong Zhuo also lost the opportunity to congratulate Hua Xiong and put forward hope for Hua Xiong.

"Thank you for the Prime Minister's love. Even if Hua Xiong is covered with the ground, he will never live up to the Prime Minister's love." Seeing Dong Zhuo's praise, Hua Xiong hurriedly said loyally.

"The Prime Minister, if you see the new defeat of the princes' army, our army should beat down the arrogance of the princes and ask the prime minister to send troops to stay and fight against Yuan Shao." Seeing that Dong Zhuo was happy that Hua Xiong broke Bao Xin, Niu Fu lost no time and put forward a plan to attack Chen Liu.

"This? What do you think, Li Ru?" As soon as he heard that Niu Fu wanted the army to attack Chen Liu, Dong Zhuo had no idea for a moment, so he asked Li Ru a plan. It must be true that this is a war related to Dong Zhuo's future and fate, and Dong Zhuo has to be careful.

"The Prime Minister, I think it's the right time for General Niu Fu's plan. Now Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are divided into two ways, and our army just concentrates on breaking them one by one. If Yuan Shu also started a war in Wancheng, our army will be few, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight at that time. However, in order to deal with Yuan Shu, there is another plan, which can make it difficult for Yuan Shu's army to form combat effectiveness for a while and buy time for our army to concentrate its troops to destroy Yuan Shao. In this way, the chances of winning our army will be greatly increased. Seeing Dong Zhuo ask each other, Li Ru said with approval.

"Ha ha ha, Li Ru, what good strategy do you have to deal with Yuan Shu? Come on. Yuan Shu has always been a problem for me near Wancheng. As long as I settle down Yuan Shu, I can concentrate my troops against Yuan Shao. Hearing that Li Ru had a way to deal with Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo quickly asked

"In fact, what my subordinates think of is just a method of alienation. I have heard that Sun Jian, a fierce tiger in Jiangdong, is superior in force and is quite strong. If Yuan Shu gets the help of Sun Jian in Wancheng, it must be a great threat to our army. Therefore, I want to alienate Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, so that they can't work together. In this way, Wancheng is naturally worry-free. Li Ru said.

"Why does Mr. Li Ru have to sell the matter? Naturally, we know that Yuan Shu dares to become an independent army. What he relies on is only Sun Jian, but how can we separate the two? You can't send someone to persuade Sun Jian to surrender. After listening to Li Ru's words, Niu Fu said helplessly. Obviously, Niu Fu also had a thorough understanding of the current situation.

"Ha ha, General Niu Fu, don't worry. Does the general know why Sun Jian is so close to Yuan Shu? It's all because Changsha is too far away, and it is difficult to receive food and fodder. If Sun Jian wants to use troops here, he must make friends with Yuan Shu and get food and fodder from Runan. But what if we issue an imperial edict to let Sun Jian be the assassin of Yuzhou? Li Ru first asked a question, then asked himself, and finally the sneer asked a strange question.

"Um, if Sun Jian is the governor of Yuzhou, natural food and fodder can be nearby, but this Yuzhou is the foundation of Yuan Shu. How can he easily hand it over to Sun Jian?" Niu Fu followed Li Ru's meaning.

"What General Niu Fu said is right. This is the alienation plan to make Sun Jian and Yuan Shu infighting. Although people with good eyes can see that this is a method of alienation, in the current interest, I don't believe that Sun Jian will not care about the position of the assassin of Yuzhou. Even if Sun Jian is really unmoved, he still needs Yuan Shu to believe it. However, Yuan Shu is very suspicious. How can he trust Yuan Shu? Li Ru smiled and was obviously very satisfied with his alienation.

"That's right. In this way, I can rest assured. Li Ru, just do as you want. Dong Zhuo nodded to Li Ru, and he also attached great importance to Li Ru's plan.

"If the Prime Minister has Mr. Li Ru's alienation plan, should we also prepare to attack Chen Liu?" Seeing that Li Ru's plan may solve the problems in Wancheng, Niu Fu hopes that he can also make achievements on his side.

"It is rumored that the army will take a day off today, and the soldiers will leave early tomorrow morning." Seeing that everything was ready, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to decide to fight with Yuan Shao.

It was a few days after Bao Xin ran back to Chen Liu. These days, Bao Xin has been worried about coming out day and night, hoping to return to Chen Liu as soon as possible.
