Chapter 13: Sun Jian persuaded him to flee
Zu Mao led people to rush towards the front army of the Han army, and now he can be said to be in a hurry, and the loyalty of several of them to Sun Jian is unquestionable.
Therefore, in their hearts, Sun Jian's safety is much more important than the safety of the Han, and Zu Mao can't wait to fly to Sun Jian's side with his wings.
And Sun Jian and Huang Gai are also about to reach their limit, after all, their limited manpower cannot be endless, and their physical strength is rapidly exhausted when facing the inexhaustible Yellow Turban Thief.
Once their physical strength is completely exhausted, it will be their time of death, coupled with the constant sneak attacks of Han Zhong and Zhao Hong, Sun Jian and Huang Gai can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted.
Huang Gai was slashed by Zhao Hong just now because he couldn't react, although Sun Jian's rescue was very timely, but Huang Gai's shoulder blade still left a deep scar that could reach the bone.
Sun Jian and Huang Gai, who are exhausted, are still persevering, they don't know how long they will last, but giving up now is only a dead end.
Just when Sun Jian was about to give up, Zu Mao's voice suddenly came into his ears, and Sun Jian's spirit lifted after hearing this voice, as if his strength had been restored again.
With a seriously injured Huang Gai Sun Jian, he fought his way out of the encirclement, although there were still many yellow turban thieves on their periphery, but at least it was safe for the time being.
When he saw Zu Mao coming to support with people, Sun Jian's nose was slightly sour, he had never felt like this, but suddenly he thought of a terrible possibility.
"Daiei, why are you here? Is the rear army finished? What about the righteous father? Why isn't Yigong with you? ”
Facing Sun Jian's series of questions, Zu Mao only felt a burst of warmth in his heart, he knew that his lord was caring about their old brothers.
Zu Mao hurriedly stopped Sun Jian, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to go up first, he helped Sun Jian, who was a little trembling, and said:
"Don't worry, the righteous prince is not seriously injured, and now the rear army has won the victory! Xu Shuai and his people will be able to support him immediately, and this time we will definitely be able to smash the conspiracy of the Yellow Turban Thieves! ”
Sun Jian's mind calmed down a little after hearing Zu Mao's words, but he still smiled bitterly and then shook his head, he looked at Zu Mao and said slowly:
"Daiei, you don't have to comfort me anymore! Even if Xu Shuai can bring people over, but now the situation is stronger than people, and there are too many Yellow Turban thieves, we are not their opponents at all! ”
"Lord~"
Seeing Sun Jian's somewhat decadent performance, Zu Mao said anxiously, but before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Sun Jian reaching out and reaching out.
Sun Jian shook his hand at Zu Mao, because he had already guessed what the other party was going to say, it was nothing more than to persuade him to leave quickly, and they would break off for themselves.
But now Sun Jian knew that he would never be able to escape, because he was Zhao Hong's target of their killing, and only by getting rid of himself could they feel at ease.
No matter which direction they fled from, Zhao Hong and they would definitely send heavy troops to surround them, so not only would they not be able to escape, but they would also be affected by Zu Mao.
Since there is no hope for him to escape, it is better to stay and attract Zhao Hong's attention, so maybe these henchmen of his will be able to escape.
As long as they can escape, Sun Jian believes that his family and his descendants will be well taken care of, and with the help of these people, the Sun family will make a comeback!
So he stopped Zu Mao, and put Zu Mao's head on his shoulder, and he whispered in Zu Mao's ear:
"Daiei, now the situation has collapsed to the point of no return! I'm definitely not going to be able to leave, remember that you must go out with the righteous and the public, and when the time comes, Ce'er and Quan'er will be entrusted to you!"
After listening to Sun Jian's words, Zu Mao's tears flowed down his eyes, he knew that Sun Jian's current analysis was the most correct, and the victory they had just won in the rear army was a miracle.
Even if the general named Huang Zhong was really Xiang Yu's resurrection, but the manpower was limited after all, if Huang Zhong hadn't defeated Tan Song just now, they wouldn't have been able to achieve that victory at all.
But now the situation of the front army is completely different, Zhao Hong and other Yellow Turban Thief Chiefs are more slippery than loaches, they don't show up at all, they just hide in the shadows and command the troops to besiege themselves and others.
In this way, even Huang Zhong has no good way, you can take the head of the general in the ten thousand armies, but the premise is that you must know where the enemy general is!
Now that Zhao Hong and the others are hiding, they have no chance to be directly beheaded, and Huang Zhong can only protect himself in the face of such a huge thief at most.
Zu Mao understood all these truths, but deep down in his heart, he would never want to run away like this, and it was his own master's life in exchange for his life.
He wanted to live and die with Sun Jian, but now reason told him that he couldn't do so, because the eldest and second sons of the lord had not yet grown up.
The eldest son is only nine years old now, and the second son is still a two-year-old child, without the help of his own people, the Jiangdong Sun family is likely to collapse!
The lord of his own family has been fighting for the Sun family all his life, if he accompanies the lord to die in battle, he will fulfill the name of loyalty and righteousness, but what about the Sun family?
When Sun Jian saw Zu Mao's expression, he knew that Zu Mao was weighing it now, but the current situation was in crisis, and there was not so much time for him to weigh it up.
Sun Jian clasped his hands into fists and bowed to Zu Mao to the end, and then said with some sadness:
"Da Rong, you just promise me! This time, I beg you to be the lord, and I can't do it! ”
How could Zu Mao be willing to let Sun Jian be like this, Sun Jian has always been a god-like figure in his heart, but now this god is begging him.
It can be seen that Sun Jian is now so anxious that Zu Mao, who is helpless, can only nod and agree to Sun Jian's request, and Sun Jian does not breathe a sigh of relief until Zu Mao nods.
He pointed to Huang Gai, who was lying next to him, with his hand, and said to Zu Mao:
"Da Rong, the public and righteous justice will be handed over to you. The two of them are seriously injured now, but I'm sure you'll be able to escort them out together! Wait for Xu Shuai and their reinforcements to come over, the Yellow Turban Thieves will definitely be in chaos for a while, and you will leave at that time! ”
said that Sun Jian lowered his head in shame, he knew that he had sold Xu Chang and others to death, and he was tantamount to giving Xu Chang a ladder to the house.
But now he has no other way, for the sake of his family, he can only do this, and when he gets underground, he will compensate Xu Chang.
Zu Mao looked at Huang Gai who was lying on the ground unconscious, and then looked at Sun Jian who was full of shame, he couldn't help but feel even more sad.
He knew how much infamy Sun Jian was prepared to bear, so he made such a decision!
