Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

After leaving the hall, Zhang Xiu stopped the four generals Lu Bu, Fan Chou, Hua Xiong, and Hu Zhen.

"Generals. "

Han Shouhou. Lu Bu and the others were stunned, and then they didn't dare to slack off, and bowed back and saluted. Seeing this, the rest of the personnel also thought that Zhang Xiu was going to teach face-to-face, so they avoided it.

Zhang Xiu looked up at the four of them, and Lu Bu forgot it. The other three, Fan Chou and Hu Zhen are all worthy of war, especially Fan Chou is very brave and good at fighting.

Not to mention Huaxiong, the personal relationship between the two has always been excellent. According to historical records, Hua Xiong was actually killed by Sun Jian.

It was not killed by Guan Yu as stated in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Now, of course, history has changed dramatically, but the main routes have not. Sun Jian and Yuan Shu converged, and the two attacked the southern part of Luoyang.

Of course, he didn't want to see Hua Xiong killed by Sun Jian.

"Generals. That Changsha County guards Sun Jian, known as the "Jiangdong Tiger", has the courage of ten thousand people, and the four generals under his command, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zu Mao, and Han Dang, are all brave and good at fighting, and cannot be underestimated. Let them go deep and fortify themselves, and gather the people to defend them, and do not fight with him in the field.

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

Dong Zhuo said this, he now adds an insurance.

Zhang Xiu's prestige is world-famous, and his words have weight. The three generals, Hua Xiong, Fan Cheng, and Hu Zhen, all looked solemn and bowed down to promise. Only Lu Bu also responded, but he had other ideas in his heart.

"What Jiangdong Tiger? Is it my opponent? Could this embroidery be afraid that I will kill Sun Jian and seize the first credit?"

Not to mention that Lu Bu has the heart of a villain and spends the belly of a gentleman. After explaining, Zhang Xiu strode away. After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion and getting into the carriage, Zhang Xiu immediately sent someone to tell Wu Kuang and other generals that they would go on the expedition tomorrow.

He himself returned to the mansion and arranged the affairs of the house. Empress Dowager He is pregnant, and she needs more people to watch.

There should also be someone left behind in the palace to be responsible for liaising with the imperial court. Zhang Xiu thought for a while and asked the former general Shi Jiaxu to stay, but brought Xu Shu, Shi Guangyuan, Meng Da, Wu Yi, Wu Ban and others.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xiu led everyone out of the city to the camp outside the city, and then pulled out the camp to the east. Together with Xu Rong, Ma Bu's army of 20,000 or 30,000 people took a few days to reach the Bishui Pass.

As long as there are no internal problems, it will be difficult for foreign enemies to attack Bishui Pass head-on. Before that, there was a lieutenant named Niu Li, who led 2,000 troops.

After Zhang Xiu came to Bishui Pass, he immediately asked Xu Rong to take over the defense of Bishui Pass, and let Niu Li assist Xu Rong. Xu Rong has the talent to command, and his soldiers and horses are elite.

Zhang Xiu brought Xu Rong with him, and let him guard the customs.

Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong asked their respective subordinates to set up camp in Guannei and deal with logistical problems. Then he climbed the gate tower with Niu Li, Dian Wei and others.

Zhang Xiu first looked at the gatehouse, turned his head and said to Dian Wei: "Brother Dian, hang my flag." "

No. Dian Wei promised and ordered. Soon after, a soldier hung it with a flag with the character "Zhang", and by the way, he took down the flag with the character "Niu". In this regard, Niu Li said that he couldn't be provoked and didn't dare to say anything.

"Niu Duwei, what is happening to Yuan Shao and the others now?" Zhang Xiu asked calmly with his hands behind his back, facing the east.

"Returning to the Marquis of Hanshou. According to the spies, Yuan Shao and the others had already begun to march into the army, and according to the speed of their march, they could reach the front of Bishui Pass in three days.

Niu Li clasped his fists and replied simply.

"Is Hanshouhou going to fight?" Xu Rong looked moved, bowed down and asked. Zhang Xiu shook his head and said with a smile: "I am not bad as a general, but the other party has hundreds of thousands of people." I have a strong hand in hand, why do I need to go out of the city to fight them first?"

One drum, then rest, three and decline. I will first confront them at Bishui Pass, drain their spirits, and then wait for an opportunity to defeat them.

"Although the Kwantung princes are hundreds of thousands of people, there is nothing to fear. "

Zhang Xiu will always be a trustworthy general. Xu Rong and Niu Li immediately agreed when they heard this, and their hearts were lifted.

After that, Zhang Xiu did not move. occupied the Guanling Mansion in the Guannai, and recuperated every day. And Xu Rong, Wu Kuang, Niu Li and others are very busy.

Truckloads of baggage, grain and grass were transported from the rear and piled up in the Bishui Pass.

................

East, Zhongmu area.

Today's cold wind is like a knife, and it is abnormal. Hundreds of thousands of troops in the eastern part of the Kwantung region, with Gongsun Zhan's Liaoxi soldiers as the vanguard, and the assassin and the county guard each commanded their own men and horses, divided into several groups, marched on the avenue, and went to Bishui Pass.

Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, took Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Ran as generals, commanding 40,000 elite soldiers in the center, and was the Chinese army.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were childhood friends and played since childhood. Cao Cao's rank of military general was temporarily sealed by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao treated Cao Cao quite well, let him march behind him, and if something happened, he could also protect his friends.

Now Yuan Shaonai is the leader of the alliance, and he also calls himself the "general of the chariot and cavalry", with hundreds of thousands of men and horses under his command, and he is powerful all over the world. It looks like a spring breeze.

However, Yuan Shao has been sick recently, lying in the carriage during the day, and rarely seeing outsiders at night.

This illness is not really a physical illness, but a sickness caused by excessive grief. At that time, the princes were in the sour jujube alliance, and news came from Luoyang that Dong Zhuo killed all the clansmen left by Yuan Shao in Luoyang, including Yuan Shao's own uncle.

Yuan Shao screamed, covered his chest and fell, fortunately, Cao Cao's eyes were quick, he hugged Yuan Shao, pinched people, and slapped his back to smooth the air, which "saved" Yuan Shao.

Then Yuan Shao fell ill.

Yuan Shao's army was surrounded by layers, inside Yuan Shao's carriage.

Yuan Shao sat in the carriage with a warm blanket wrapped around him. The carriage is very large, and there are bamboo slips on one side and pastries on the other.

Yuan Shao, who was "sick", was calm and relaxed, with a ruddy face, reading a book to pass the time, and pinched a piece of pastry from time to time to eat.

At this moment, a soldier rode his horse and struck three times outside the carriage before reporting: "My lord." General Cao asked to see him. Yuan

Shao, who was in the carriage, immediately put the bamboo slips away and closed the pastry box. Then wrapped in a blanket, he looked sick and lay down.

"Stop the carriage and let him in. Yuan Shao said angrily.

"No. After the soldier made a promise, he immediately rode down. The army also ceased to move, and soon after, Cao Cao rode his horse.

"Alliance Master, I'm in. Cao Cao, who was dressed in iron armor, turned over and dismounted, bowed down and said.

"Mengde. We are brothers and do not have to be so polite. Come on in. A moment later, Cao Cao heard Yuan Shao's angry voice.

"No, you can't. In private, you can be brothers, such as asking for Dong today. The leader of the alliance is the leader of the alliance. Cao Cao said stubbornly.

In the carriage, Yuan Shao, who was lying on the board, smiled slightly, quite satisfied with Cao Cao's respect. Then he said angrily: "Thank you Meng De for your advice." Come on in. "

No. Cao Cao, who was outside the carriage, made a promise, and then stepped on the stool handed by a soldier and entered the carriage.

The carriage is very large, and it is not a problem to accommodate two more people. Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao, who was lying on the car board and didn't look very good, and he couldn't figure out whether this childhood friend was pretending to be sick or really sick.

Anyway, with his understanding of Yuan Shao, this person would not really be overly sad and sick. But since Yuan Shao is acting, he will also accompany him.

"Alliance leader. It has come to this point, and there is no resurrection from death. You should take care of your health so that you can deploy your troops. In order to avenge Taifu (Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui).

Cao Cao said in a low voice.

"Uncle, nephew is not filial. Yuan Shao suddenly cried, crying heartbroken, and cried for a long time. Cao Cao was helpless, so he had to comfort him.

Not long after, Yuan Shao wiped his tears, looked at Cao Cao with red and swollen eyes, and said, "Meng De is right, I want to avenge my uncle." Immediately

, he made a gesture to sit up, but Cao Cao went up very cleverly and helped Yuan Shao to sit up. Yuan Shao sat against the carriage, looked up and asked, "Meng De, is there something wrong with you coming to see me?"

Yuan Shao's face shook, although he had expected it in his heart, he was still afraid. The battle in Luoyang is really vivid. But then Yuan Shao became calm and relaxed.

Now he doesn't have to, he now has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. And how many people are there in Zhang Xiu? 30,000 only.

The advantage is in him.

However, Zhang Xiu is indeed very powerful, so he has to guard against it.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shao said to Cao Cao: "Tell all the princes the news and let them be careful." But don't get too nervous. We are so many that we need not be afraid. "

In addition, send out all the scouts and keep an eye on all directions. Guard against Zhang Xiu's sneak attack on us when he goes out of the customs. This person used to run rampant in Liangzhou, and he was good at being a soldier and a god. The army continued to march towards Bishui Pass, and the soldiers could not rest, and the horses could not stop.

Cao Cao nodded secretly in his heart, Yuan Benchu was still talented, and the arrangement was appropriate.

"No. Cao Cao agreed, and then said, "Take care, the leader of the alliance", and then got out of the carriage and sent people to spread Yuan Shao's order throughout the army.

............

The front vanguard, Liaoxi Taishou Gongsun Zhan.

Among the princes, Gongsun Chan is also the strongest general in active service, and the elite soldiers under his command are all fierce soldiers in Liaoxi. Gongsun Zhan was in Liaoxi County and fought with Wuhuan all the year round, which played a vital role in the stability of Youzhou.

But at this moment, there are three more important people around him.

In addition to the "Gongsun" flag, there is also a "Liu" flag among the "!!!!" people, which is flying in the wind, so it is not imposing.

Gongsun Chan is seven feet six inches long, with a majestic appearance, a loud voice, a strong body, and the best marksmanship in Youzhou. Beside him was a red horse, dressed in black iron armor and holding a large gun.

There was a man beside him, with a dignified appearance, big and drooping ears, a little special than ordinary people, a majestic figure, wearing a black iron armor, and two swords hanging from his waist on the left and right.

This person is Liu Bei, the word Xuande. When he and Gongsun Zhan were young, they worshiped together under the great Confucian Lu Zhi Sect in the sea and were brothers.

Gongsun Chan was older, and Liu Bei called Gongsun Chan "brother".
