Sun Jian was the vanguard of the seventeen alliance armies.
Sun Jian was a ferocious tiger of Jiangdong, and his martial arts skills were extraordinary. With the help of Han Dang, Zu Mao, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai, he was unstoppable.
They had almost won consecutive battles, even the vanguard deputy general Hu Zhen had died in their hands.
However, the alliance army wasn't really united. They were scheming and everyone had their own considerations and ideas.
Yuan Shu, who was in charge of the provisions, was afraid that Sun Jian would take the lead in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, so he detained Sun Jian's provisions at this most important moment.
At that time, there was no need to say how important food was to the army.
Sun Jian couldn't get his rations, the army was in disarray, and he was ambushed by Hua Xiong.
Not only did he suffer a crushing defeat, even his subordinate Zu Mao lost his life.
Sun Jian sent the news back to the alliance army that very night, and everyone was shocked. Yuan Shao immediately gathered the leaders of the vassal armies to discuss countermeasures.
"I didn't expect that even X Literature Station would be defeated by Hwa Xiong!”
Yuan Shao frowned and asked,"Do you have any plans to resist the enemy?"”
All the dukes lowered their heads and remained silent.
Yuan Shao swept his gaze across the crowd. In this moment of worry, he actually saw three people standing behind Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping, sneering.
Moreover, he did not look like an ordinary person.
Among the three, the leader was seven feet and five inches tall. He had a jade-like face, a jade-like nose, two ears, shoulders, and arms that reached his knees.
It gave off a sense of closeness.
The person on the left was nine feet tall, with a beard two feet long. His face was like a heavy jujube, his lips were like fat, his eyes were red and his eyebrows were like silkworms. He looked dignified and held a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand.
The man on the right was eight feet tall. He had a leopard head and eyes, and a tiger beard. He held a snake spear in his hand and was extremely domineering.
"Who are the three people behind the Governor of Beiping?”Yuan Shao asked.
Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping, looked at the man in the middle and replied,""This person is my childhood brother, the current Pingyuan Ling. Liu Bei. My name is Xuande."
"The two next to you are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the sworn brothers of Xuande.”
Cao Cao stood up and asked Liu Bei,""Is it Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, who defeated the Yellow Turban?”
The man with arms above his knees and two earlobes stood out, and his two sworn brothers followed closely behind him.
"It's Liu Bei."
Cao Cao nodded and cupped his hands,"I didn't expect you to come too!"
Liu Bei cupped his hands in return." It is the duty of every citizen of the Han Dynasty to support the Han Dynasty. Moreover, I am the 18th generation great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. I am the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. I have no other responsibility!"”
Hearing the conversation between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Yuan Shao remembered that he had heard of Liu Bei's name before. He said,""Hurry up and take a seat. Brother Xuande is a member of the Han clan, so how can he just stand?”
Liu Bei cupped his fists in thanks.
The two soldiers listened to the order and quickly brought a set of tables and chairs over, placing them at the very end.
Liu Bei sat down, his two sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, standing beside him.
"Report!"
A soldier rushed in from outside the door, cupped his fists, and knelt on one knee."Hwa Xiong is leading troops outside the pass!"
The eyes of all the dukes flashed.
Only Liu Bei and Liu Xuande remained calm, as if Hwa Xiong, who had just defeated Sun Jian and Wen Tai, was not even worth mentioning.
"Who is willing to fight against Hwa Xiong?" Yuan Shao swept his gaze across the crowd and asked.
"I'm willing to go!"
A person walked out from behind Yuan Shao and cupped his hands together as he spoke.
Yuan Shao took a closer look. It turned out to be his general Yu She.
"Good!"
"I accept your orders!"
Yu She cupped her fists and left quickly.
The sound of war drums and the voices of people could be heard outside.
In just a few minutes, soldiers rushed over to report.
"General Yu She couldn't fight three rounds and was killed by Hua Xiong!”
"Ah?"
The princes were shocked.
Yuan Shao frowned even more. Although Yu She was not a top-notch general under him, he was definitely not bad. He could not even last three rounds against Hwa Xiong.
Han Fu, the herdsman of Jizhou, stood up and said proudly,""I have General Pan Feng, who is good at using a big knife. He has the courage to kill Hua Xiong!”
Behind him was a muscular man who was eight feet tall. He held a large saber in his hand and cupped his fists."I am willing to kill Hua Xiong!"
Yuan Shao looked at Pan Feng and nodded slightly.”
Pan Feng held her saber and retreated with large strides.
The war drums sounded again.
Dong dong!
Every sound was like a knock on the depths of one's heart, making one's blood boil and unconsciously nervous.
However, this feeling did not last long before the drumming stopped.
It was replaced by incomparably noisy human voices.
This meant that the result had appeared!
Soon, a soldier flew over.
"General Pan Feng was killed by Hwa Xiong again!”
"What?!"
Han Fu's expression changed as he slumped onto his chair.
Pan Feng was one of his top generals, and he died just like that?!
The other dukes were also shocked.
Yuan Shao frowned and sighed." It's a pity that my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou haven't arrived yet. Otherwise, how could I allow this Hua Xiong to be so presumptuous?"”
"Is there anyone else willing to leave Hwa Xiong?”
All the dukes lowered their heads and remained silent.
At this moment, a person stood out and said arrogantly,""If I am willing to go, I can definitely kill Hua Xiong and Ma Xia!”
Yuan Shao took a closer look. The man in the middle was nine feet tall, with a long beard, a face like a jujube, red phoenix eyes, and silkworm-like eyebrows. He stood proudly.
"Who are you?"
"I am Liu Bei's sworn brother, Guan Yu, Guan Yunzhang!”
"Oh."
Yuan Shao replied," What is your current position?”
"I'm now following my brother as an archer.”Guan Yu replied.
"Horse archer?"
Sitting below, the general who was from the same clan as Yuan Shao, the prefect of Nanyang, Yuan Shu, said disdainfully,""Do you think that my seventeen dukes have no subordinates?”
"A mere horse archer dares to spout nonsense here. Men! Beat him up!"
Liu Bei, who was sitting at the end of the table, was about to stand up.
Behind him, his third brother, Zhang Fei, also gripped the eighteen feet Snake Spear tightly in his hand, ready to attack at any moment.
At this moment, Cao Cao hurriedly said," Don't be angry, Gonglu. I can see that this person has extraordinary looks. He's not someone who speaks arrogantly. He must have extraordinary talent."”
"You can order him to give it a try. If he doesn't win, it won't be too late to blame him.”
"But…"
Yuan Shao frowned. He really couldn't understand why Cao Cao would speak up for a horse archer.
"Wouldn't we be laughed at if we send an archer to fight?”
"This person's looks are extraordinary, how did Hwa Xiong know he was a horse archer?”
Cao Cao asked.
"If you can't win, please cut off my head!"
Guan Yu said.
Yuan Shao looked at Guan Yu and did not stop him.
Yuan Shu smiled and shook his head, as if he had already seen the news of Guan Yu being killed by Hwa Xiong.
Cao Cao looked at Guan Yu and nodded slightly.
"Bring me wine. I want to drink with this warrior!”
Guan Yu said proudly," Refill the wine. I will be back soon!"”
