    Looking at Hu Zhen¡¯s troops retreating away, Cao Ang and Bao Zhong wiped the cold sweat from their faces almost at the same time: Darling, you scared me to death!

    Seeing Cao Ang's relieved expression, Bao Zhong felt that it was normal: if a twelve-year-old boy was not afraid at all and calmly proposed a strategy to defeat the enemy, that would be too evil.

    Soon, Sun Jian led a large group of troops and rushed to the nearby area. He was surprised to see that Bao Zhong's troops had no losses.  Of course, he would not say that he hoped that both of them would lose. He just asked in surprise: "Who is the thief who just rushed over? Why did he just come and take a walk and then run away?"

    As a junior, Cao Ang naturally just folded his hands and stood quietly aside.  Bao Zhong said with a smile: "The man who just came here is Dong Zhuo's general Hu Zhen! This time he brought hundreds of Xiliang cavalry and wanted to come here to get a bargain, but he was shocked by our army's strict military discipline.  Brother Tai came to the rescue in time and had to flee in embarrassment!"

    Sun Jian cupped his hands and said, "Brother Shuyi was too polite. When our troops arrived, the traitors had already fled. It was clearly Brother Shuyi who was fearless in the face of danger and commanded decisively that scared Hu Zhen away. Zixiu, why are you running away?"  Are you here? Just stay at the rear, and we uncles will avenge your father's revenge for you!"

    Cao Ang quickly saluted Sun Jian: "Well, my nephew thanks my uncle. In fact, it was because my nephew was eager for revenge that he encouraged Uncle Shuyi to lead the army here. As a result, Uncle Yuncheng sent someone to catch up with us and show his order.  , let us act according to the leader's instructions. No, we are packing our bags now and preparing to return to the camp."

    Hearing what Cao Ang said, Bao Zhong nodded lightly.  This nephew is good. He took the responsibility of sending troops rashly on his own head. Even if Yuan Shao investigates him in the future, he can still explain it by his eagerness for revenge.

    Sun Jian frowned slightly, knowing very well that it was Cao Ang who took the initiative to take responsibility for Bao Zhong.  If it was Cao Ang who encouraged Bao Zhong to march, then the army should not only have Bao Zhong's general flags, but also Cao Ang's general flags.  However, according to his and the scouts' observations, there was no Cao Ang's general flag with the word Cao in the army. In other words, Cao Ang must have come with the small group of cavalry.

    Of course, Sun Jian would not expose this matter without knowledge. He just smiled and said: "I originally wanted to fight side by side with you, but I didn't expect to have other arrangements. By the way, you are going back to the camp anyway, can you give us some?"  It¡¯s too troublesome to transport food back and forth.¡±

    Bao Zhong was afraid that Cao Ang would agree, so he quickly said: "Actually, we don't have much food left here. We originally planned to attack Sishui Pass to seize some food, but now we only have two tons of food in the army. Let's do this, we will leave you one hundred  The stone grains are a bit of your kindness!"

    Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zumao and other generals stood behind Sun Jian, listening to the conversation between Sun Jian, Bao Zhong and others.  When Zu Mao heard this, he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "With so little food, how can we be treated like beggars?"

    As soon as these words came out, the mature Cheng Pu quickly whispered: "Shut up, if you don't speak, no one will think you are mute!"

    Sun Jian was also a little embarrassed and glared at Zu Mao fiercely.

    Bao Zhong snorted coldly, anger rising in his heart.  The food is given to you because we are all allies. Now that the army is gathering, a lot of food and grass are consumed. The price of food has also risen sharply. One hundred stones of food is a lot of money!

    Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Cao Ang said with a smile: "Uncle Shuyi, anyway, we are not far from the camp. How about we tighten our belts, save another meal, and come up with two hundred shi of food. See,  Uncle Wentai is about to go to war with the enemy, and we have to keep them fed!"

    Sun Jian hurriedly said: "No, no, a hundred dan can provide some extra food for the soldiers. You also have to eat. If you go hungry, the soldiers will scold you!"

    After such a turn of events, Bao Zhong finally lost some of his anger. He said in a deep voice: "There is no need to refuse Wentai. Just follow what Zixiu said. We will leave two hundred shi of food. After all, you have many people, and this small amount of food is just  Let¡¯s have a tooth festival. There¡¯s going to be a war next, so the soldiers have to be fed!¡±

    Sun Jian quickly saluted Bao Zhong and said gratefully: "On behalf of the soldiers, I would like to thank my uncle and righteous brother. To be honest, the army is really a little short of food. With these two hundred stones of food and digging some wild vegetables, tonight  The soldiers will have a full meal."

    At this moment, everyone chatted some more, and Bao Zhong led Cao Ang to leave.  When he left Sun Jian's sight, Bao Zhong couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "This Sun Wentai, the generals under his command are really unruly. We generals are talking to him, how dare he, a small general, dare to be so presumptuous?! If it wasn't for you!  For Zixiu¡¯s sake, I won¡¯t leave any food for him!¡±

    Cao Ang persuaded with a smile: "UncleThere's no need to be angry. Hu Zhen will definitely get more and more angry the more he thinks about it. He might get so angry that he sends someone to sneak attack.  Sun Wentai will naturally fight with him when the time comes. Let's gather our troops and go south for the time being.  Send multiple scouts to quietly monitor the situation nearby.  When Sun Wentai and Hu Zhen fight to the death, it won't be too late for us to fight out again!  "

    Cao Ang's proposal was in line with Bao Zhong's wishes. Bao Zhong was not willing to withdraw to the camp without fighting, which would greatly damage the morale of the troops.  Anyway, even if Sun Jian was left with 200 shi of food, there would still be more than 700 shi of food in the army, enough for the soldiers to eat.

    The two of them had a good discussion and soon set up camp in a relatively secluded place.

    At this time, Hu Zhen was losing his temper and said angrily: "I didn't expect that I was deceived by Bao Zhong, a low-ranking general. I'm so angry! They were completely unprepared today. If I had known this, I shouldn't have stayed.  , just attack directly!"

    Zhao Cen on the side quickly advised: "General, don't worry. If the general rashly fights the enemy today, even if we can defeat the enemy, we will have to pay a certain price. When Sun Jian's troops rush up, even if we successfully break through, we will  There will also be a lot of losses. The general is still far-sighted and can put aside the momentary victory or defeat and take the initiative to evacuate!"

    After hearing what Zhao Cen said, Hu Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Our old brothers from Xiliang understand the military strategy and understand my difficulties. Unlike Lu Bu's people in Luoyang, who only know how to beg Dong Gong for mercy, the army  It's all a mess. Let's do this. You immediately select ten cavalry and go to Luoyang to report and ask for reinforcements."

    Zhao Cen asked in surprise: "General, we have three thousand soldiers and horses in our hands, all of whom are elite. In addition, there are strong city defenses. We can definitely stop the rebel army. Why go to Luoyang to report the news? In this way, everyone thought that  We can¡¯t defeat those thieves from Guandong!¡±

    Hu Zhen smiled and shook his head, "You don't understand this. We sent a messenger to Luoyang, just in time to make those people in Luoyang realize our importance. Otherwise, how could they realize our importance to the soldiers guarding the border if they were singing and singing every night?"  The pain?! Why do they have nothing to do and get promoted to nobility, but we have to scrimp on food, clothing, and armor and fight hard?!"

    Zhao Cen prostrated himself to the ground, "The general has seen thousands of miles away. I, Zhao Cen, am really lucky to be able to follow him."

    So, the messenger here at Sishui Pass worked hard and quickly arrived in Luoyang.  At this time, Dong Zhuo was on the dragon bed in the palace, fighting with several concubines left behind by Emperor Ling. When he suddenly received the news of the invasion of the Kwantung army, he was shocked.  He quickly got up, put on his clothes, and took Lu Bu, who was guarding the door, back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss matters.

    Soon Li Ru and others also received the news and rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion.  Lu Bu had long been fed up with the treatment of such high-level bodyguards. He stood up first and said loudly: "Father, don't worry. These princes in Guandong only talk about words and have no real skills at all. In my opinion, Lu Bu, they are like  Damn it! I am willing to lead an army of tigers and wolves to decapitate all the princes, just like searching for something from a bag!"

    Dong Zhuo was very happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I have Fengxian, and I can finally sit back and relax."

    However, as Dong Zhuo spoke, he secretly winked at Li Ru.  In Dong Zhuo's view, although Lu Bu worshiped him as his father, he was still an outsider from Bingzhou.  I finally managed to disintegrate the Bingzhou Army, how could I give them another chance to make a comeback?  !

    Li Ru understood Dong Zhuo's intention and quickly touched Hua Xiong secretly with his toe.  Hua Xiong turned around and saw that it was Li Ru, and he knew it in his heart.

    Li Ru then said loudly: "How can you use a bull's knife to cut a chicken?! Those who want to invade Sishui Pass are the vanguard of the rebels, so I don't have to worry about Marquis Wen going there in person! I recommend a person with a tiger's back, a bear's waist, a leopard's head and ape-like arms, who can kill the rebels."  Our vanguard general!"

    When Li Ru said this, Hua Xiong quickly strode forward to ask for a fight.  This Hua Xiong is from Kansai and can be regarded as Dong Zhuo's confidant.  He does have certain abilities, and he can be considered brave in terms of martial arts.

    Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said with a smile: "That's very good. It's better for Fengxian's child to stay with me. Since Cao Cao assassinated me, I really can't sleep peacefully without Fengxian watching over me! Let's do this, I, Feng Hua  Xiong is the commander of the cavalry school, and Li Su is the captain of the cavalry. You two will lead three thousand elite troops and rush to Sishui Pass to obey Hu Zhen's order."

    Hua Xiong and Li Su quickly stepped forward to take orders.  Li Su was from Wuyuan and a fellow villager of Lu Bu. He was favored by Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu felt that he was proud of himself, so he withdrew with a smile.

    Hua Xiong, Li Su and others went to arrange their troops first. Li Ru said in a low voice: "Now that Yuan Shao and his group are claiming that it is difficult to enter the capital and support Liu Bian's ascension to the throne, should we deal with Liu Bian"

    Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "You can just take care of this little thing."

    Li Ru nodded and left immediately.  Lu Bu was left alone. Seeing that there was no one around him, he came to Dong Zhuo and whispered to him: "Father, Cao Cao has been tortured so much."??Still refused to admit accomplices.  I heard that his son Cao Ang also raised troops to resist us. Otherwise, let's kill Cao Cao!  "

    Dong Zhuo shook his head, "Keep him for now, I still have some use for him. Besides, this guy has some talents after all, and I really can't bear to kill him. By the way, I'm busy at this time, please help me keep an eye on the king."  Yun. This old boy is not honest, we can¡¯t be careless!"

    Lu Bu quickly nodded in agreement and bowed to retreat.

    There was no one around. Dong Zhuo drank a bowl of wine and sneered: "Princes of Guandong?! Bah!"
