Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C436

The current Sun Jian was not only afraid, he was also a little vexed. He was also a general who had led his troops to war for many years, how could he have made such a low level mistake? He actually did not send out the exorcism, but the enemy was right in front of him, and he did not realize!

Although the West Cold Army and the Guandong Allied Army were fighting, it had been almost a year. Other than Cao Cao and Xu Rong who had fought a battle, the armies of the other dukes had never fought with the West Cold Army before.

Not only did he not send out his exorcism, he even opened up the city gates, allowing anyone to enter and leave. There were no signs of chaos in the world, no one knew, and they thought that this was a peaceful time.

At the end of the matter, Sun Jian had no choice but to remain calm, as if he did not feel everyone’s anxiety. He continued to drink and laugh with the generals and officials. He even intentionally walked in front of Gong Chou, raised his wine cup and laughed: “Gong Chou calls you Mister. Now, let me toast you three times. Even if it’s a warm stomach wine, I wish you a safe journey! ”

“Thank you, Lord General!” Gong Chou stood up with fear and trepidation, I don’t know if it was out of excitement or fear, but the hands holding the wine cup started to tremble uncontrollably, “Collecting food for the army is really Gong Chou’s responsibility, how can he afford to receive such kind treatment from the Lord General!”

“Gong Chou is being too modest!” Sun Jian patted his shoulder as he walked over to the other officers and continued to chat with them as if nothing had happened. While drinking, he secretly instructed the generals, “Make a good team and don’t move recklessly!”

At this moment, Sun Jian saw a large group of West Cold Cavalry rushing over, and he couldn’t help but become even more nervous. He looked around and realised that the West Cold Cavalry had no fewer than 3000 people. If the West Cold Cavalry were to charge at this time, then there would be no Sun Jian or his army in this world anymore.

Seeing that the West Cold Cavalry did not attack, Sun Jian seemed to understand that this was fighting with a stick against a wolf — — Both sides were afraid. West Cold Cavalry did not know about Sun Jian’s background and did not dare to rashly attack, but Sun Jian had very few subordinates, and even more so, were just foot soldiers.

Sun Jian slowly put down his wine cup and stopped drinking to enjoy. He slowly stood up and waved his hand. Manager Xiao stopped and said to the generals and officials, “Everyone, do not panic. Listen to my orders. Follow the group and slowly retreat into the city.”

It was currently dusk, so Sun Jian lifted his head to look at the setting sun with an indifferent expression. He waved his hand, and the soldiers below the stage began to follow his orders, forming a line. Under the command of Generals, they returned to the city in an orderly manner.

Just as he entered the city gates, Gong Chou couldn’t help but exhale deeply and bow deeply to Sun Jian. “Lord General, you really are an indomitable man with a million soldiers hidden in your chest … We’re almost scared to death! ”

Sun Jian laughed and said indifferently: “Earlier, I wasn’t in a hurry to stand up and run back to the city. At this critical moment. The soldier’s eyes were fixed on the general. If I’m afraid. Soldiers are bound to fall into chaos. It would trample on each other and block the road. In that case, you guys won’t be able to enter the city, so how will you get another chance to drink? Come on, let’s have the feast again. No one had even toasted a cup of wine for Gong Chou yet. Is everyone right? ”

“Yes!” Right! Right! “Let’s toast again!” All the officers shouted in unison as they laughed heartily, “This old rogue Dong Zhuo is so untactful. He wants to send soldiers to disrupt even us when we’re about to drink a cup of wine. I must make up for it now! ”

Seeing Sun Jian and his soldiers enter the city, Hu Zhen did not dare to give the order to attack. He was really uncertain and a little afraid. With a strong enemy pressing down on them, this Sun Jian was still talking and laughing. The team was not in a mess. How could there be such a thing in the world? There must be an ambush.

Of course, this couldn’t be blamed on Hu Zhen. After all, the army was about to enter the battlefield, yet Sun Jian was setting up a feast outside the city. Could it be that Sun Jian had not sent out many scouts to monitor the intersection between the Nanyang County and Henan? Due to being worried about Sun Jian planning an ambush, Hu Zhen chose to be careful with it.

The Luyang City was tall and sturdy, also Sun Jian’s base, filled with countless of soldiers. After waiting for the foot soldier to arrive, Hu Zhen tried to attack a few times, but was unable to get any advantage. Furthermore, Hu Zhen was not willing to stay put at this place, so he had no intention of fighting and had no choice but to retreat to Liang County.

“Damned Hu Zhen, he’s really a piece of trash. Not only did he let go of King Hong Nong Liu Bian, he even missed the perfect opportunity to kill Sun Jian in one go!” Dong Zhuo fiercely threw the emergency report on the ground and stood up with a clang. He said angrily: “Pass on my orders, cancel Hu Zhen’s commanding authority immediately, and place it under Xu Rong’s overall commanding authority.”

“Although Hu Zhen was in the wrong, he was not defeated. If we were to hurriedly strip Hu Zhen of his command, I am afraid that Xiliang General will not accept it … ” Li Ru had also just returned to the Luoyang from the Hanoi County. Although Dong Zhuo did not blame him, he still felt sad about Dong Zhuo’s punishment.

Most importantly, Xu Rong was originally from Youzhou, and so he was usually cut off from the Xiliang General, so he did not have a good reputation under Dong Zhuo’s hands. Ever since he had defeated Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo had gradually started to pay more attention to him. Now that Hu Zhen had been transferred to the command of the Xiliang General, wasn’t this directly slapping them in the face?

“I will use whoever wins!” Dong Zhuo waved his hands impatiently, interrupting Li Ru’s words. Normally, the Xiliang General would push Xu Rong out of the way, and Dong Zhuo could just turn a blind eye, but if he were to bring troops into the war, then he could not allow others to get close to him. Immediately order Xu Rong to attack Sun Jian with all his might and think of a way to find. ”

“King Hong Nong Liu Bian did not make an appearance at Nanyang. It might be difficult to find him.” Li Ru shook his head, and his two eyebrows wrinkled: “Currently, the only one who supports King Hong Nong in this world is Yuan Shao, if I guessed correctly, King Hong Nong would definitely run to the end of the line. So, should we attack Jujube? ”

“No need. The Duke of Guandong was connected to the outside and to the inside, and they were close to each other, like a piece of loose sand, which made it difficult to create a climate. Yuan Shao was a person with broad exterior but deep inner-circle. His eyes were sharp and his hands were low. At the moment, although he held the position of the chief of the alliance, he didn’t have the means to coordinate all the traitors. Even if the King Hong Nong were to escape to the sour date, it might be able to affect the situation. As for the military formation breaking, as long as I stay in the pass, Yuan Shao will not have any hope. ”

Through almost a year of competition, Dong Zhuo began to look down on these Guan Dong Scholars from the bottom of his heart. Other than scheming in the imperial court, they were well versed in political struggles, and were not a match for Dong Zhuo in terms of manoeuvring and leading troops.

“In the Duke of Guandong, the only person who can fight is Sun Jian. In the past when we were attacking the West Qiang and Han Sui, was just a small helper. His military strategy, judgement and opinions were similar to mine, he is truly outstanding. Today, Yuan Shu has chosen Sun Jian as his Arrowhead of Henan Province, if Sun Jian were to establish himself as his Henan Province, and even use the name of King Hong Nong, he would be like a fierce tiger escaping from its slumber, and would definitely become another huge threat to me. ”

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo in shock. He did not expect that a Chieftain like Yuan Shao, with such a powerful Confederate forces of Guandong dukes, would actually look down on him, and think so highly of a little Sun Jian. He couldn’t help but nod his head and mutter, “Okay, I’ll go send the order immediately.”

Receiving herald’s order, the Zhang Banxian immediately rushed towards Xu Rong’s Big Account. At the entrance of the Big Account, they coincidentally bumped into Xu Rong’s younger brother, Xu Ning. After being in the Xu Rong army for such a long time, they had become very familiar with the Zhang Banxian, so the two greeted each other and walked into Xu Rong’s tent together.

With his hands behind his back, Xu Rong stood alone inside the tent, as if he was thinking about something. Seeing the two enter, Xu Rong raised his hand and greeted them. Without saying anything, Xu Rong handed Zhang Banxian a piece of spongy silk.

Zhang Banxian took a look and saw that it was an order from Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo used an exceptionally strict tone and ordered Xu Rong to immediately take over Hu Zhen’s team, and lead the troops to attack Luyang City, exterminate the traitor Sun Jian’s group, and capture King Hong Nong Liu Bian.

Zhang Banxian hastily looked at Dong Zhuo’s orders and immediately understood her concerns. However, he did not reveal any expression on his face, nor did she say a word, and only passed Dong Zhuo’s orders to Xu Ning who was standing beside him.

“Hehe …” This bastard Hu Zhen has finally fallen into our hands. This time, we must properly fix him up. ” After Xu Ning finished reading Dong Zhuo’s orders, he immediately started laughing. After being under Dong Zhuo’s lead all these years, he had had enough of the Xiliang General’s anger, and finally had a chance to take revenge. How could he not be happy?

“What are you talking about? “Really, nothing good can come out of a dog’s mouth!” Xu Rong glared at Xu Ning fiercely as he scolded him unhappily. Right now, what he was most worried about was being hated and hated by the Xiliang General. The more Dong Zhuo valued him, the more worried he became.

As a general from the Youzhou s, he had always been at odds with these Xiliang General s, and had never been able to integrate into them. If not for the fact that Dong Zhuo was a little merciful, Xu Rong would have died in West Cold Army a long time ago.

Now that Dong Zhuo had given Hu Zhen under Xu Rong’s command, not only was it difficult for Hu Zhen to accept, all the West Cold Army generals felt uncomfortable in their hearts. Although Dong Zhuo was sincerely reusing Xu Rong, in reality, Dong Zhuo had already put Xu Rong on the fire.

“Lord General, don’t worry!” The Zhang Banxian laughed, then said indifferently: “What the Lord General is worrying about is that Hu Zhen and his subordinates will not listen to his orders, and will act on their own, causing the attack of the Lu Yang to be thwarted, and will be punished by Dong Zhuo. Now that he had fifty thousand people under his command, he could attack the Lu Yang himself. Why use Hu Zhen’s forces? It would be better to transfer Hu Zhen to the Ying Yang to defend the Tiger Prison, so we can all go to the Lu Yang. ”

“Sigh …” You don’t understand Prime Minister. ” Xu Rong shook his head and said helplessly: “Although the Prime Minister punished Hu Zhen, in the bottom of my heart, I still trust him a lot. I can use Hu Zhen to attack the Lu Yang, but I can’t change his defense with us! ”

“Oh …” The Zhang Banxian understood that no matter how Dong Zhuo punished Hu Zhen, she still treated him as her trusted aide. She could just follow Dong Zhuo’s orders and attack the Lu Yang, but without Dong Zhuo’s order, Xu Rong wouldn’t be able to move every single one of Hu Zhen’s soldiers.
