A book friend wants a golden card for instant noodles. This…How do you know that I know?

Speaking of which, I found it on Baidu. There's an instant noodles bar, and there's a post in it that creates a group. After entering it, it turns yellow and gold…

I don't have time to play now, and I've left the group. I'll look for this chest lift myself.

Sun Jian won the first battle, Huaxiong Li Su lost the battle and retreated from Yangren City to defend. Sun Jian attacked the city several times but failed to capture it, so he set up a camp under the city and confronted the enemy.

Sun Jian sent people to deliver the victory order to Yuan Shao while resting on the spot. Once the food arrived, he would launch a new attack.

Yuan Shu looked at the people in the tent proudly, as if his family had won a battle. Sun Jian was fierce, but he didn't have any political brain. Yuan Shu told him to beat whoever he wanted to beat. As soon as he entered the wild jujube, he did not even see Yuan Shao. He first came to pay his respects to Yuan Shu. As if he were a disciple of the Yuan family.

Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, was told by Yuan Shu to move his position because Yuan Shu thought he was occupying the place. Zhang Zi was unwilling, so Yuan Shu asked Sun Jian to find a reason to kill Zhang Zi when he passed by Nanyang and occupied the place himself.

However, some people didn't want Yuan Shu to have such a fierce general under him.

" My lord has returned." Xiang Lang smiled at Yuan Shu flatteringly." Is there anything good?" Seeing the lord's beaming face."

"Juda doesn't know, but Wentai has already defeated Dong Wei's spirit. Soon, the Yang people will be in my hands.”Yuan Shujian's head shook like a cornbread, making people worry if it would fall off.

"Reporting to my lord, I believe that there are advantages and disadvantages to this matter. I hope my lord will understand!”

"Oh? What does Juda mean?" Yuan Shu looked at Xiang Lang in surprise and confusion.

"Although X Media is brave, his heart doesn't seem to be sincere. Although he is respectful to the Lord, why isn't he willing to return to the Lord's side? I think this person must be loyal and cunning in appearance, hoping to borrow the reputation of the monarch to strengthen his own power.”

That's right, if Sun Jian really wanted to rely on him, why did he always refuse to formally join him? There was indeed a problem!

"If it wasn't for Ju Da's explanation, I would have been fooled by this fellow! This thief is really hateful! It's just that we're allies now, so it's not good to openly tear off all pretense of cordiality. In Juda's opinion, how can I relieve the hatred in my heart?”

"This matter is easy to handle. My lord, why don't you…???”Xiang Lang whispered a few words into Yuan Shu's ear, and Yuan Shu immediately revealed a look of realization.

Hmph, X Literature Station, since you're not willing to submit, don't even think about developing and expanding as you wish. Yuan Shu's small head started to shake again, not noticing the strange fluctuations in Xiang Lang's eyes.

For three consecutive days, four waves of people came back empty-handed. What the hell is this Yuan Shu doing? I was fighting in front of him. Is he trying to drag me down? Could it be that he was not satisfied with his lack of expression and decided to take action?

Sun Jian paced back and forth anxiously in the tent with his hands behind his back. Under the dim oil lamp, he wore an eye-catching red turban. The four generals, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Zu Mao, stood on either side of him. They watched as their lord was in a hurry for rations, but they could not help much.

"My lord, Yangren City is heavily guarded, and the rations have not arrived yet. The morale of the army has already wavered. If we don't make a decision early, I'm afraid there will be a major change.”

"That's right, my lord. Is there someone in the alliance who is afraid that our army will take the credit and is unwilling to accept it?”

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai's words made Sun Jian even more distressed.

"Since that's the case, immediately order the entire army to pack up their weapons and retreat under the cover of night!”Sun Jian was unwilling to accept this, but what could he do? Could he let the soldiers go to war on an empty stomach?

As soon as the order to retreat was given, the already dissatisfied soldiers grumbled as they packed up their clothes, armor, and banners. They scattered in twos and threes to do their own things. All of a sudden, countless torches lit up in the darkness on both sides of the camp like ghost fire, and arrows flew towards Sun Jian's camp with the invitation of the Grim Reaper. Everyone was thrown into a panic. Enemy attacks weren't scary. The problem was that they couldn't see where the enemy was and how many there were. The fear of the unknown was magnified in the hearts of the soldiers. In addition, there was no food. If they didn't fight, it would be chaos.

"Enemy attack! All troops, assemble!" Sun Jian did not take off his armor. He stuck his flag into the ground and shouted loudly. The four generals held their weapons and protected Sun Jian. The personal soldiers also protected Sun Jian tightly, wrapping him in the innermost layer.

If Sun Jian could gather the rebels, they might still be able to fight this battle. In this era of cold weapons, the marshal was the backbone of the army. With the marshal around, there would be cohesion and cohesion. Some of the soldiers had just seen the commander's flag and managed to surround them. However, the Hua Xiong Army in the dark did not intend to give Sun Jian's army a chance to turn around. The second round of arrows landed on everything in the camp, but this time, they were fire arrows!

The arrowhead was tied to a cloth soaked in oil, and the flames burned fiercely. No matter what it landed on, it would start to burn. What was in the camp? The supplies and tents were the easiest to catch fire, and it was spring now…

Before long, the camp was filled with soldiers running around and frightened horses pulling their reins. In addition to the flames everywhere, Sun Jian knew that it was impossible to counterattack and could only retreat.

"Order the entire army to retreat!" If they didn't retreat now, there wouldn't be any miracles. Now, they could only escape a little. Hwa Xiong was so ruthless. He took advantage of the fact that their army had no food to attack!

Only a few soldiers and trusted soldiers followed Sun Jian out of the camp. Hua Xiong's ambush in the dark had also begun, surrounding the north entrance of Sun Jian's camp tightly, not letting a single soldier out. The rest of the cavalry, under Hua Xiong's personal command, looked in the direction of the only eye-catching red turban in the fire and chased after it like maggots attached to bones.

"The red turban on my lord's head is too dazzling. Why don't you exchange it with my helmet?”Zu Mao, who was following closely behind Sun Jian, suddenly realized why the enemy cavalry could still follow him in such a dark night.

"Darong, you're in danger now!”Sun Jian suddenly came to a realization. At the same time, he was touched by Zu Rong's words. Under such circumstances, if the enemy mistook Zu Mao for him, he would most likely lose his life.

"Mao Zhi's life is not worth mentioning. The matter is urgent. My lord should put the overall situation first!”Zu Mao didn't hesitate to give his life to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian's eyes were a little blurry. He gritted his teeth and exchanged his helmet with Zu Mao's. Zu Mao wore Sun Jian's red turban and led a small group of people to run in the opposite direction.

" Come back alive!" This strong southern man shouted in his heart. However, Zu Mao, who was gradually moving away, didn't know that.

In order to shake off the enemy, Zu Mao ran towards the wild jujube, while Sun Jian went south and returned to the wild jujube. Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, arrows flew past them from time to time. In the time it took for a cigarette to smoke, the dozen or so riders fell off their horses one after another, screaming in pain. They were either crushed to death by their own horses or killed by the pursuers. Only Zu Mao was left.

'No, I have to stall for time. It doesn't matter if I die. If the enemy catches up and realizes that I've been deceived, it'll be dangerous for me to turn around and chase after my lord.' Zu Mao had an idea. He rode into the forest alone and placed the red scarf on a tree trunk. From afar, he really looked like a person.

When the pursuers saw the forest, they did not dare to enter easily. They shot arrows in the direction of the red scarf from afar. Zu Mao was like a hunter hiding in the dark. He would occasionally lean into the red turban and shoot an arrow before dodging. More than a dozen of the Hua Xiong Army had died, but they still couldn't understand why Sun Jian dared to shoot at them without dodging.

The two sides confronted each other for a while. When it was almost dawn, they suddenly felt the ground shake slightly. Hua Xiong and Zu Mao thought that Dong Zhuo's army had circled around them from behind. They sighed in surprise and gave up attacking.

"Hehe, Sun Jian kid, it's hard for you to escape now. Why don't you surrender to my lord and spare your life?”Hua Xiong finally relied on Li Su's strategy to defeat Sun Jian, who was no match for him in a direct confrontation.

A sorrowful laughter rang out in the forest. The quiet dawn seemed to have a sense of loneliness that a warrior would not return."Haha, Hwa Xiong, you idiot, you fell into my lord's trap. With so many people playing with me for half the night, my lord must have left safely.”

Hwa Xiong finally understood. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and rushed into the camp alone. The faint white of dawn made the forest a little visible. Zu Mao was alone with his horse. He held a bow that had long run out of arrows in one hand and two knives in the other. He was laughing coldly at himself.

"Ignorant brat, you dare to play with me?”In his rage, Hua Xiong did not even think as he raised his Mountain Cleaving Saber high and charged at Zu Mao with a loud roar.

Zu Mao, who had been confronting me for half a night, was already at the end of his rope. His spirit and spirit were supported by the belief that Sun Jian had escaped far away. However, as a martial artist, it wasn't my style to let others slaughter him.

Zu Mao knew that he was going to die, so he threw away his bow and held a horse in each hand."If you want to take my life, you have to first ask the twin sabers in my hands!”

Hwa Xiong was so angry that he laughed." How dare you speak so arrogantly after losing to me? You and that Han fellow are no match for me!" Come, come, come. If you can withstand three moves from me, I'll let you live!”

Zu Mao knew that he was not lying. In a one-on-one fight, Hwa Xiong might not even be a match for his lord. But was there a choice now? He was surrounded by enemies from the front and back. If he died, then so be it. He was too lazy to urge the horse that was as tired as him to charge at the enemy. He slowly raised his hands, ready to receive the judgment of fate.

The two horses collided with a loud clang. In an instant, sparks from the collision of weapons lit up the faces of the two people on the horses. Zu Mao's two sabers were like two flying wheels, being sent flying high by Hwa Xiong's furious slash. He couldn't feel his hands either. The web between his thumb and forefinger should have been shattered, right?

Zu Mao had a calm smile on his face. He closed his eyes and waited for Hwa Xiong's next slash to land on his neck.

"Who dares to be so arrogant here?”Just when Zu Mao thought his head was going to fly high up in the sky, a loud shout sounded.

The two men in the forest were so focused on each other that they didn't notice that the " reinforcements " had already entered the forest. The first general was wearing a strange armor full of rings. Even his face was covered in a helmet, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. At this moment, he was rushing towards Hwa Xiong.

Now, they knew which side these " reinforcements " were from. Although Zu Mao did not know who the reinforcements were from, he knew that they were not enemies. The hope of survival instantly filled his entire body. He did not care about his image as a general anymore. He jumped off his horse and fled in the opposite direction of Hwa Xiong.

Hwa Xiong was stunned by Huang Zhong's shout. When he regained his senses, Zu Mao had already run seven or eight steps away. He immediately vented his anger on Huang Zhong.

"Which demon doesn't dare to show his true face?”Hwa Xiong, who was quite confident in his martial arts, went up to Huang Zhong. This time, it was different from the last time. Hwa Xiong realized that the martial arts that he had always been proud of was actually at a disadvantage!

The other party's full-strength slash actually caused his saber to bounce back. What a great force! His hands began to tremble. The force was so strong that even he, who could fight Han Dang and Zu Mao, felt his hands go numb!

Sabers were heavy weapons in horse battles, relying on horse power and arm strength, but their agility was far inferior to spears. However, the other party did not seem to be restrained by the heavy saber.

After exchanging blows with Hwa Xiong, Huang Zhong used the power of his opponent's saber to reverse his saber. Then, he twisted his body forcefully and drew a saber in the air. It was like a huge wheel dancing in the air. With a circular afterimage of the saber's light, he slashed fiercely at Hwa Xiong's back.

Hwa Xiong's experience was that after both sides had crossed horses, they had to turn their horses around and charge again. Who would have thought that Huang Zhong's saber technique had been learned from the battle between Zhang Feng and Lu Bu, which made up for the weakness of the saber's weight and agility.

The unprepared Hwa Xiong suddenly felt a sudden gust of wind in his head. He knew that something was wrong and quickly bent down on the horse's back. At the same time, he put his saber behind his back and blocked in front of himself.

Thanks to this block, Huang Zhong's saber struck the saber shaft with lightning speed and accuracy. Hwa Xiong, who had also expended a lot of his strength, felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. If he hadn't blocked it, he might not even have the chance to spit out blood.

However, this time, Hwa Xiong was also seriously injured. His saber shaft had been slashed by Huang Zhong, and the pain that spread to his back was heart-wrenching. His internal organs felt like they were on fire, and Hwa Xiong no longer had the strength to move. He was tied up tightly by the cavalrymen behind Huang Zhong.

Zu Mao didn't run far. After bypassing Huang Hua's battle circle, he ran towards the reinforcements. He wanted to know who had saved him. They saw two groups of people mixed together. One of them was holding their own flag, a large "Sun" under the banner of a commander. A man was extraordinary and held a large saber. Wasn't that their lord, Sun Jian?

Zu Mao was overjoyed. He didn't understand why Sun Jian had called for reinforcements. Anyway, his lord and he were fine. That was the greatest joy.

"My lord, my lord!" Zu Mao, who was already exhausted, had only managed to survive until now. When he saw Sun Jian, his heart relaxed. After shouting twice, he felt dizzy and fainted.

"Da Rong, it's Da Rong! Great, he's still alive!" Sun Jian found a person with holes in his armor lying dozens of steps to his left. However, with his good hearing, he still recognized Zu Mao's voice.

Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, and the others got off their horses and helped the unconscious Zu Mao up. Once again, Sun Jian shed tears for a man, even though this time they were tears of joy.

"My lord, we killed an enemy general, but we don't know his name. The rest were killed and scattered.”After tying up Hwa Xiong, Huang Zhong returned to Sun Jian and greeted Zhang Feng.

"Han Sheng is indeed brave!" Zhang Feng smiled and looked at Hwa Xiong's black face, but he didn't know if this guy with a bloody face was Hwa Xiong.

"This fellow is the Yang people's general Hua Xiong. He and Li Su took advantage of my lack of preparation to rob my camp. If it wasn't for General Zhang's reinforcements, I'm afraid my army wouldn't have been able to survive.”Sun Jian immediately recognized the culprit who had caused him to be in such a sorry state. However, Zu Mao was still around, so his hatred had lessened considerably.

Rather than hate, it was guilt. After all, Zu Mao was the one who lured the pursuers away for him.

"We are all allies, so there is no need to be so polite. This is Zhang Feng's duty, but I have a request, General Sun.”Zhang Feng had a good impression of the brave Sun Jian and was looking forward to meeting his tiger father's tiger, Sun Ce.

"General Zhang, what are you saying? If there's anything, this Sun will agree.”Sun Jian was so grateful to Zhang Feng for coming to his aid in time that he wished he could marry his daughter, Sun Shangxiang, to him. (I'm just kidding, Xiang mm shouldn't be pregnant by now.))

"Although this person is detestable, he has martial strength. It's a pity to kill him.”For martial artists, it was better to be direct than to speak vaguely.

Dian Wei didn't like Cheng Yu's way of speaking. Whenever Zhang Feng swore in front of him, Dian Wei would often laugh like a fool.

"Since that's the case, it's not difficult to hand it over to General Zhang.”There were many cases of trading captives on the battlefield, not to mention that he did not capture Hwa Xiong himself, so Zhang Feng had given him enough face.

"Now, why don't we take advantage of the fact that Yangren City has no general and attack it in one fell swoop?”Cheng Pu, as Wu's vice governor, was naturally quite talented.

"This is a brilliant plan. General Sun, although our army is tired, the Yang people have no commander and will be able to take it down.”Zhang Feng also wanted to see Li Su, a person who could persuade Lu Bu to defect.

"This Sun's life was picked up. General Zhang has orders, but he doesn't obey.”

Therefore, the two generals chased after the deserters. Li Su, who was from the Yang people, was indeed a person who saw the opportunity early. Seeing that Hua Xiong was captured, he simply abandoned the city and fled.

After taking down the Yang people without bloodshed, they could reach Luoyang directly from the north. Zhang Feng was in a good mood.

Sun Jian's subordinates were taking the Yang people's rations to eat, then fell asleep on the spot, snoring like thunder. The defense of the four gates was handed over to Zhang Feng's men.

"General Sun, why don't we report our victory to the Alliance Master and then go straight to Luoyang?”Zhang Feng looked at Sun Jian, whose bloodshot eyes were like a spider web, and sighed for this short-lived man.

"You must not. When Alliance Master ordered me to attack Yang, he did not explicitly order me to continue attacking Luoyang. If I attack without orders, I'm afraid that I will be sentenced to death.”

Zhang Feng's mind, which was a little smug from the victory, calmed down at once. At this time, the so-called high achievements were not empty. It was better to be steady.

"Then in General Sun's opinion, what should we do next?”

Although Zhang Feng had saved him and was able to take up the position of deputy vanguard at such a young age, he was not arrogant at all. He did not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. Instead, he could listen to advice with a clear mind. Sun Jian had a good impression of Zhang Feng.

"In my humble opinion, it would be better to ask General Zhang to leave some soldiers to defend the city. At the same time, Sun's troops will rest here. I'm ashamed to say that although we've taken down the Yang people, my troops have been crippled and no longer have the strength to fight. It would be better to meet the alliance leader with the general and make a decision.”

"That's good. General Sun, rest early. We will report to the Alliance Master tomorrow."

In the camp of the allied army.

In the past few days, there had been constant reports. First, the Sun Tribe had been defeated by Dong Zhuo's subordinate Hua Xiong, and they had requested reinforcements. Then, several hours later, they reported that Zhang Feng's reinforcements had saved Sun Jian's troops and were currently engaged in a "fierce battle" with Dong's troops. The last scout who reported the news had just left, and the next scout reported that Zhang Feng had joined forces with Sun Jian's remaining troops to take down the Yang people in one fell swoop. Now, there was no need to worry.

Cao Cao tried his best not to reveal a trace of joy on his face. He knew Yuan Shao's temper very well. If someone did better than him, he would be picky in every possible way. Moreover, Zhang Feng had given him too much face.

Yuan Shu was both happy and worried. He was happy that Zhang Feng was indeed capable. Even Sun Jian of the Tiger of River East couldn't take down Yangren City, but he took care of it in one go. What he was worried about was…Sun Jian was still alive. Would he find trouble with him?
