Chapter 442
Outside Hulao Pass, Yuan Shao looked up to the sky and cried.
His sorrowful voice moved all the princes.
All the Yuan family members in Luoyang were slaughtered by Dong Zhuo.
Even Yuan Wei's head was carried by Xiliang soldiers on a spear and paraded through the streets of Luoyang.
Even his body was hung on the gate of Luoyang.
Such a great shame was imposed on the Yuan family, which had three generations of officials.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were furious.
However, the princes could not see the joy in Yuan Shao's heart.
From now on, the title of three generations of officials will all belong to him, Yuan Shao.
He will be the orthodox of the Yuan family in the future.
The benchmark of the Yuan family.
All the former officials of the Yuan family in the world will follow him in the future.
Although there was grief in his heart, it was not as much as joy.
This gave him another justifiable reason to attack Luoyang.
"Dong Zhuo is cruel! He harmed good ministers and must be killed!"
Yuan Shao stood in the central army tent, drew his sword, pointed to the sky and roared.
He did everything to the fullest.
His emotions infected all the princes in the tent.
Everyone responded loudly.
For a while, the central army tent was full of momentum.
They all shouted to rush into Luoyang, chop off Dong Zhuo's head, and avenge the dead.
Sun Jian in the crowd took the lead and said: "I am willing to attack Hulao Pass as the front!"
The resounding request for battle was different from the other princes who shouted loudly.
But no one asked for battle.
The princes secretly inquired about the Changsha governor.
At the same time, a word emerged in their minds: reckless.
Many princes did not think highly of the Changsha governor who had no scheming.
Tao Qian was also one of the princes who did not think highly of him.
He shook his head secretly.
As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot.
Sun Jian led the Changsha soldiers to attack the hard pass like this.
He was afraid that he would be severely taught a lesson by the Xiliang soldiers.
Liu Bei, who followed Tao Qian, was also secretly spying on Sun Jian.
A trace of admiration emerged in his heart.
Unlike other princes, Liu Bei knew deeply that everything was fought back with strength.
How could hiding here like a turtle achieve the last great thing?
Liu Bei sneered at those princes who said one thing and said another.
He was about to walk to the middle of the central army tent and beg to fight.
But he was grabbed by Tao Qian, who was quick-handed and quick-eyed.
Tao Qian knew what Liu Bei meant, but he shook his head repeatedly.
The princes had different thoughts.
He, an old man who was mixed in the officialdom, had already seen the clues.
He must retain his strength.
Moreover, if one day he really broke into Luoyang, whoever had more military power would gain more rights.
Dong Zhuo's actions have made it clear that force is supreme.
None of the princes wanted to be the first to consume their own strength.
Liu Bei sighed secretly.
From the moment Tao Qian stopped him, he wanted to understand the cause and effect.
Although he had a high status in Xuzhou, he still had to obey Tao Qian's orders.
Alas!
Liu Bei sighed in his heart.
When can he really own a piece of land of his own.
If Tao Qian is too tired in this anti-Dong Zhuo coalition army...
He couldn't help but have an idea in his heart.
He felt flustered.
How could he have such an idea?
Liu Bei shook his head vigorously.
Dispel the idea that shouldn't appear in his mind.
However, it seemed to have endless temptation.
No matter how he wanted to get rid of it, the idea was like a weed that could not be burned by wildfire.
It grew wildly in his heart.
Yuan Shao, who was standing at the head, looked at it and praised loudly: "Very good!"
"You are worthy of being the brave Changsha Sun Wentai!"
"Since you are so brave, this leader will now order you to fight."
"Go to the front of the pass to challenge."
"Let the road allocate military rations for you, and set off immediately!"
"Yes!" Sun Jian replied, took the military order and turned around.
Among the princes, not all of them kept their troops in place.
Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, was afraid that Sun Jian would take the first credit.
He secretly moved out of the central army tent and secretly instructed his younger brother Bao Zhong.
Take 3,000 soldiers and take a shortcut to challenge the pass.
He didn't have many soldiers, and he didn't have much strength to save.
It's better to fight at this time.
If you can get a good start, you will naturally be valued by Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao saw everything, but kept silent.
It is in the interests of him as the leader of the alliance if the princes have small moves.
This way, he can better control these princes.
If these princes are as friendly as brothers, they will become a united front.
How can he survive as a prince?
Only when there is internal struggle can he stand out as the leader of the alliance.
Otherwise, he is dispensable.
This is the truth he realized during the political struggle in the court.
Close, Hua Xiong arrived with Luoyang reinforcements.
Just happened to meet Bao Zhong with 3,000 soldiers challenging him.
Without saying anything, Hua Xiong stood at the pass to take a look and snorted, "Rat!"
"Wait for me to get your head after I get down the pass!"
Then he ordered 500 Xiliang cavalrymen to charge straight out of the pass.
Hua Xiong rushed out with a knife and killed Bao Zhong on the spot.
He led the cavalry to charge, and the 500 cavalrymen rushed the 3,000 soldiers to pieces.
He gained a lot.
"General Hua is mighty!"
Whether it was the Xiliang cavalry fighting in the wilderness or the Xiliang soldiers at the pass, they all raised their arms and shouted.
For a time, the Xiliang army was in great momentum.
Hua Xiong returned to the pass with the victorious soldiers, and before he could sit down, he heard the coalition army coming.
He ordered his deputy general Hu Zhen to lead 5,000 soldiers to fight.
The two armies confronted each other in the wilderness, and the atmosphere was tense.
Hu Zhen came out to fight.
Sun Jian sent Cheng Pu.
After a few rounds of fighting, Cheng Pu stabbed Hu Zhen in the throat with a spear and killed him on the spot.
"Charge!!"
Sun Jian pointed his weapon forward and rushed out first.
The Changsha soldiers followed closely behind and rushed forward without hesitation.
With Sun Jian leading the way, all the soldiers were inspired to fight to the maximum.
For a while, the momentum was magnificent.
Five thousand Xiliang soldiers were scattered.
Countless died.
After the rout, there was no chance to escape back to the pass.
They had to run to other places to hide first.
They dared to return to the pass secretly after the Changsha army withdrew.
Sun Jian led the Changsha soldiers to attack the pass.
However, they were shot back by the rain of arrows from the pass.
"Alas!"
Sun Jian, who had no choice but to retreat, sighed: "If I had Tang Hai's crossbows at this time."
"I will definitely let those Xiliang soldiers on the top of the city feel what it means to be passively beaten."
"What a pity, what a pity!"
"Why doesn't Chengzhi come!"
"Such a great opportunity, it's really..."
Sun Jian shook his head repeatedly.
He ordered the three generals to set up camp with the soldiers.
He thought about it and finally wrote a secret letter.
Send a few capable cavalrymen to the north.
What if Liu Yu didn't know the news from this side.
The information was blocked by the guy who wanted to prevent him from coming?
Sun Jian thought so.
Comfort the soldiers and send someone back to the coalition to report the news.
Immediately find the military ration officer Yuan Shu to ask for food.
When he went on the expedition before, he traveled light and did not carry too much food and grass.
At this time, after a day of fighting, the people were exhausted.
Food consumption is increasing, and it seems that the original three days of food and grass will not last until tomorrow.
