Chapter 445: Hua Xiong leads the troops
In mid-April, the alliance of the princes will be sour jujube, Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai, was promoted as the leader of the alliance, Cao Cao was the general of Fenwu, and the general Yuan Shu was the governor of grain and grass.
The next day, a high platform was built, the flags of the five parties were lined up, the white and yellow Yue were built on it, the soldiers were sealed, Yuan Shao was dressed and swords, and incense was burned and prayed to the sky.
The oath was completed, and the Chinese army's tent was raised.
Yuan Shao sat in the middle of the golden knife, looked at the people in the tent, and said loudly: "We have finished gathering the righteous divisions, and the killing of Dong Thief is only in front of us." I don't know which general is willing to be the vanguard and take the Bishui Pass for our army to strengthen the army's prestige. ”
"A certain wish!"
Sun Jian, the county guard of Changsha County, got up and clenched his fists and took over the post of pioneer.
Yuan Shao heard Sun Jian's order, clapped his hands and shouted 'good', and then toasted a bowl: "I have heard the name of Wentai's brave martyrs, I will entrust this great task to you, I hope you will conquer Bishui as soon as possible and win a triumphant victory!" ”
Sun Jian drank the wine, hugged his fists and said, 'Take care, all the gentlemen', got out of the big tent, gathered the people of the headquarters, and came to Benshui Pass.
The guards of Bishui will hear the news and send people to report to the Xiangguo Mansion in Luoyang.
When Dong Zhuo heard about this, he was shocked and angry, and ordered someone to summon all the soldiers under his command to the mansion to discuss countermeasures.
The situation is in front of them, the Kwantung princes are menacing, and the troops are pointing directly at Luoyang. At this time, someone must defend Bishui Pass to buy more time for Dong Zhuo to recruit troops from other places and go to the front.
When it came to who should take on this responsibility, when they went to the east to guard the Bishui Pass, the generals under Dong Zhuo were silent.
The alliance of princes is hundreds of thousands, and they are pushing all the way, and it is difficult to hide their edge.
In case he fails to hold the Bishui Pass, with Dong Zhuo's temper, he will definitely be beheaded for a felony. The generals such as Li Dao and Duan Xuan fought fiercely before, but they followed Dong Zhuo to stay in Luoyang for a long time, and naturally developed the bad habit of being easy and tired of hard work.
No one answered, Dong Zhuo's eyes were fierce, and his fat fist slammed into the table, slamming: "Why, everyone on weekdays says how good they are, at this juncture, they are all dumb!" ”
Generals, you look at me, I look at you, look hesitant, and wonder whether to get up and answer the order.
At this time, Lu Bu hugged Dong Zhuo and took the initiative to ask: "Taishi, I am willing to mention the division of tigers and wolves, behead all the princes of Kwantung and hang them in the capital." ”
The gloomy look on Dong Zhuo's face dissipated in an instant, and he laughed: "I have Fengxian, you can sit back and relax!" ”
"Cutting chickens with a knife? Don't go to the Hou of Lao Wen. I behead the heads of all the princes, like probing the bag and taking the ears! A thunderous sound sounded in the hall.
Dong Zhuo and the generals looked at it, and the man was standing behind Lu Bu, nine feet long, with a tiger body and a wolf's waist.
"Who are you?" Dong Zhuo saw that this person's appearance was extraordinary, and he suddenly felt a little good in his heart.
This person is Hua Xiong, since Chen Wei left, Hua Xiong has taken over as Lu Bu's guard. He heard Dong Zhuo's question, and was about to open his mouth to answer, but Hu Zhen, the Zhonglang general over there, sneered first: "Taishi, this person used to be the door governor of my account, and escaped from the barracks, but somehow followed behind General Lu. ”
As he spoke, Hu Zhen glanced at Lu Bu and said sourly: "General Lu, you are digging this corner of the wall really well!" ”
Last time, in front of the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, he lost to Lu Bu in the competition, and Hu Zhen had a clear grudge in his heart. It's just that because of the disparity in strength, I have never dared to seek revenge on Lu Bu, and now I can get over it, which is also excellent.
Lu Bu sat in his position and didn't bother to deal with it at all, Hu Zhen was just a clown jumping off the beam to him. The only thing he didn't expect was that Hua Xiong would actually come out to ask for a fight, doesn't this mean that he is going back to the old path of the previous life?
"Good!"
Dong Zhuo praised loudly, he didn't care about the contradictions and disputes between Hu Zhen and Lu Bu, and slapped his palm on Huaxiong's arm: "Heroes don't ask about their origins, since you have this confidence, this Taishi will give you 50,000 soldiers and horses, and make you a captain of Xiaocai, and go to Bishui Pass to meet the enemy." ”
When Dong Zhuo was once active in Xiliang, he always only talked about strength, not his background. Among the generals under him, several of them are from orthodox backgrounds, horse bandits, bandits, and outlaws abound.
Lu Bu is the trump card in his hand, and Dong Zhuo will not use it easily until he is forced to do so.
Hua Xiong got Dong Zhuo's order, his heart was happy, and he arched his hand and said: "The last general has another request, and I hope the Taishi will agree." ”
"Tell me about it."
Dong Zhuo's rough brows furrowed, he estimated that Hua Xiong's conditions should be a request for a reward or something, so he discounted his initial good impression a little.
"I want to use Hu Zhonglang as a deputy to help me guard the customs." The conditions proposed by Hua Xiong exceeded everyone's expectations.
"What, you asked General Ben to give you a hand? It's a fool's dream! Delusion! Huaxiong, don't go too far, don't kick your nose in the face! ”
When Hu Zhen heard this request, he immediately jumped up from his position and was furious.
In the past, when Hua Xiong was under his tent, Hu Zhen lost his temper with him, and there were not a few ridicules and suppressions. Now that Hua Xiong wants to be his deputy general by name, isn't this a clear desire to retaliate?
"I'm too good to be a teacher." Dong Zhuo didn't care about this, as long as he could keep the Bishui Pass, other things could be put down.
Afterwards, Dong Zhuo looked at Hu Zhen and said in a commanding tone: "Hu Zhen, this Taishi has ordered you to be your deputy and obey Huaxiong's dispatch." ”
Dong Zhuo opened his mouth, and this matter can be regarded as the final word. Even if Hu Zhen was 10,000 unwilling, he could only reluctantly clench his fists and agree: "Oh! ”
After the meeting, the generals led out of the lobby.
Hua Xiong followed Lu Bu's side, like a child who had done something wrong, with a trace of apprehension and uneasiness on his face, and apologized: "General, I'm sorry, I really want to prove myself, that's why I ......."
Lu Bu waved his hand disappreciatively, interrupting Hua Xiong's unfinished words, but instead admonished him out loud: "You don't have to apologize to me, you want to prove that you are a good thing, and I also believe in your strength." But there are two people, and you have to be careful. ”
Hua Xiong listened to Lu Bu's solemn tone, not as indifferent as usual, and he was a little more vigilant in his heart, and asked: "Please also ask the general to show me." ”
"One is called Sun Jian, and the other is Guan Yu."
Lu Bu said, since Hua Xiong has taken refuge in him, of course Lu Bu doesn't want him to be like in his previous life, just playing soy sauce, and then being cut off by a quick knife.
"Sun Jian, I know, but who is Guan Yu? Are they strong? Hua Xiong asked curiously.
"There are some things that are inconvenient for the general to say clearly, you just have to write them down." There are many people in Xiangguo's mansion, and there are many things, and Lu Bu can only stop at the point.
However, the more Lu Bu said this, the more warlike the intent in Hua Xiong's heart became. The characters who can make the general tell him so repeatedly will definitely not be far behind.
"Also, it's best to be able to hold the Bishui Pass, if you can't hold the level and lose it, you don't want to come back. Find a place to take refuge and come back to me when the situation is stable. ”
Lu Bu knew very well that if Hua Xiong lost Bishui Pass, even if he could escape back alive, Dong Zhuo would definitely kill him to deter the three armies.
"General, you are relieved, there is my Huaxiong Town guarding Bishui Pass, don't say that he has one Sun Jian, it is ten ......"
Hua Xiong wanted to boast about Haikou, but when he saw Lu Bu's solemn eyes, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, changed his mouth, and said respectfully: "Write it down." ”
That night, Hua Xiong gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses and went in the direction of Bishui Pass.
