Chapter 241 Hua Xiong’s Highlight Moment During the Jujube Alliance, Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance, and Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, was the vanguard and marched into Sishui Pass (Hulao Pass).
(Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass are actually the same one, so no one will argue with me.) The army set off on the same day and sent troops to Luoyang.
Allied pioneer Sun Jian led his troops and horses to march to Sishui Pass first, and then other troops and horses also began to march to Sishui Pass in a mighty manner.
On the way, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin and his younger brother Bao Zhong (also known as Shuyi) also led troops and horses towards Sishui Pass.
Everyone has selfish motives. Nowadays, the morale of the Kwantung Allied Forces is at its highest. They are all holding their breath and want to gain the first victory and strengthen their military power.
Bao Xin was no exception. He ordered his younger brother Bao Zhong to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to take a small road and rush towards Sishui Pass first.
However, he failed to win the first prize, and bad news came: Bao Zhong was beheaded by Hua Xiong.
The two sides were defeated for a while before the fight began, and their morale was dampened.
Bao Zhong's head was sent to Luoyang for meritorious service, and Hua Xiong was made the governor. However, before everyone was happy, Hu Zhen was beheaded by Sun Jian.
The Allies came back.
If the Allies had worked together, there would have been no Bao Zhong trying to take credit, and no Yuan Shu, fearing that Sun Jian's contribution to the Sishui Pass would be too great to control, would have listened to his cronies and cut off Sun Jian's military supplies.
The consequence was naturally that Hua Xiong learned that Sun Jian had been deprived of food and led his men to attack the camp overnight. Sun Jian was unprepared and was caught off guard by Hua Xiong's troops.
In the end, Sun Jian's troops were in chaos and suffered heavy casualties. Although Sun Jian fought hard, he still could not save the situation of defeat.
In addition, the loyal Zu Mao who followed him was killed by Hua Xiong in order to cover his retreat.
# In the tent of the leaders of the sixteen princes and alliances, Yuan Shao paced back and forth restlessly in front of his seat, with all the princes sitting on both sides.
"Alas! I didn't expect that Sun Wentai would be defeated by Hua Xiong. Huh! The day before yesterday, General Bao's brother did not listen to the instructions and entered the army without permission. Not only did he die, but also lost many soldiers and horses. Today Sun Jian was defeated by Hua Xiong. What a surprise. It’s not good, and your spirit is severely damaged. Everyone! Everyone! Why don’t you say anything?”
All the princes remained Shao was pacing back and forth. He stopped and turned his head to look this time, he saw Liu Bei standing behind Gongsun Zan.
Without Liu Han, Liu Bei would be the commander of Pingyuan at this moment, but because of Liu Han's appearance, Liu Bei's Yellow Turban not only failed to get any credit, but also lost troops and generals, ruining Xu Chu's family fortune.
Gongsun Zan knew that the King of Hejian did not like this junior brother, but when he saw that he was in such a state of desolation and came from thousands of miles away to join him, he ordered him to take the post of Nanpi Ling.
Gongsun Zan stood up and cupped his hands and said: "We have been brothers since childhood. Liu Bei, the commander of Nanpi, made an appointment to attack Dong Zhuo together."
Liu Bei bowed his hand to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao seemed to be a little dismissive of Liu Bei.
A small county magistrate really can't put himself on the stage. Of all of you here, which one is not from a noble family?
Of course Cao Cao recognized this Nan Pi Ling, the fake who was almost killed by him.
Seeing Yuan Shao's slight contempt, Gongsun Zan immediately revealed Liu Bei's other identity: "This County Magistrate Liu is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, the queen of Zhongshan Jing."
When Yuan Shao heard that Liu Bei was the emperor, he was a little awe-struck.
There is no way, although the world is in ruins, the emperor is still named Liu, not to mention that the one in the north is notoriously difficult to mess with, and the name of the Han clan clan is still very valuable.
Yuan Shao: "Since we are members of the Han clan, come and take a seat!"
A soldier held a stool and placed it in front of Liu Bei.
Yuan Shao: "I don't respect you as a noble, but as a member of the imperial family. Please!"
Liu Bei cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you so much, leader, for giving me a seat!"
"Humph!"
An inappropriate voice came out.
Yuan Shao turned around and saw Cao Cao on the other side, "Why is Meng De angry?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei with disdain and pointed at Liu Bei, "This is a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation!"
"Ok?"
Everyone is puzzled.
Cao Cao: "I was lucky enough to go to Guangzong with the King of Hejian to quell the rebellion. This thief used the name of a clan member of the Han Dynasty to deceive and deceive. After being exposed by the King of Hejian, he was almost killed on the spot. If something hadn't happened in the middle, he would have been killed. He has become a dead soul a long time ago, and I haven’t seen him for several years. I didn’t expect that this thief would still be evil today.”
"When I kill this thief, don't stop me!"
With that said, Cao Cao pulled out his long sword and stabbed Liu Bei. Gongsun Zan had quick eyes and quick hands and drew his sword to block it. If Gongsun Zan hadn't saved him in time, Liu Bei would have been stabbed to death by Cao Cao.
"Gongsun Zan, you want to stop me? If it weren't for the King of Hejian, would you be where you are today?!"
Seeing Cao Cao's unkind expression, Gongsun Zan said with a wry smile: "Brother Meng De, can you spare Xuande for my sake today?"
Just as Cao Cao was about to give in, Tan Ma ran in shouting.
"Report!!! Report! Report to the alliance leader! Hua Xiong led his cavalry down the pass, carried Prefect Sun's red headband on a long pole, and yelled and challenged him in front of the stronghold."
Tan Ma finished his report and left the Shao sat down anxiously.
Everyone frowned, but it was Yuan Shu who spoke: "Mengde, why don't we put this matter aside for the time being. The most important things at the moment are Dong Zhuo and Hua Xiong!"
When everyone heard Yuan Shu speak, they also tried to persuade Cao Cao. At this time, internal strife was inappropriate.
Cao Cao snorted again before giving up.
Yuan Shao: "Who dares to fight?"
Yuan Shu's general Yu She came out and said, "Young general, I wish to go!"
Yu Shefei mounted his horse and went to deliver the food. The war drums were beaten. Yuan Shao and all the princes were anxiously waiting for the news... After a while, Tan Ma ran in quickly.
"Report! Repay the alliance leader! Yu She and Hua Xiong couldn't fight three times, so he was beheaded by Hua Xiong!"
Yuan Shao slapped the table and stood up: "What?"
Morale is already low, doesn’t this make it worse? Standing behind Liu Bei, Wei Yan (alias Wen Chang) and Xu Chu (alias Zhong Kang) couldn't help themselves when they heard that Yu She was beheaded by Hua Xiong. Liu Bei waved his hand to calm them down. After what Cao Cao had just done, it was best now. Be a little transparent.
Of course, Liu Bei also hated Liu Han and Cao Cao in his heart, especially Liu Han. If it weren't for him, how could he be as shameful as he is today? All the princes looked at each other, and Yuan Shao sat down in frustration.
Han Fu stood up and said, "Leader, don't panic! I have General Pan Feng who can kill Hua Xiong."
Yuan Shao was overjoyed: "Okay! Call General Pan to fight."
Pan Feng stepped out to accept the order, took the axe, mounted his horse and walked out.
But before the drums started beating, Pan Feng was beheaded by Hua Xiong on the battlefield.
Tan Ma quickly ran into Yuan Shao's tent again, "Report to the leader! Pan Feng was beheaded by Hua Xiong again."
"what?!!"
Everyone was shocked, didn't expect Hua Xiong to be so difficult to deal with? After hearing this, Yuan Shao was at his wits' end.
On the battlefield, Hua Xiong was riding on a horse, holding a broadsword, looking at the two corpses of Yu She and Pan Feng who had been beheaded by him, and laughed proudly.
Although the soldiers' spirit was dampened, the one who died was not one of Yuan Shao's, so he could only pretend to be coy and said: "Alas! It's a pity that generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou have not arrived. If one of them is here, why should we be afraid of Hua Xiong?"
