The second year of Chuping, which was 191 AD.
Dong Zhuo was in chaos, the Great Han Empire was in turmoil, and the empire was in the sunset.
The vassals sent an army to attack Dong and met in Ziziander.
Yu Zaozao went to Luoyang. The Si River Pass stood tall, and there was a constant battle outside the pass.
In the early spring, the cold wind was blowing and the dark clouds were rolling, as if they were pressing down on the city.
Sun Jian was engaged in a fierce battle with 5,000 cavalry under Dong Zhuo's command.
Tens of thousands of people gathered together, and for a moment, their voices shook the heavens.
However, Western Liang's cavalry were elites who had been fighting for a long time. Coupled with the powerful mobility of the cavalry, Sun Jian's army was currently at a disadvantage!
Sun Jian stood in the middle of the army, his face as dark as water, allowing the enemy to attack his flanks.
At this moment, on a hill far away from the battlefield, there were two people hiding there, watching the battle below the mountain.
One of them was tall and muscular. He carried a pair of iron halberds on his back. In the cold winter, he was wearing a thin shirt, which made him look extremely majestic.
This person was called Dian Wei, the future number one fierce general in Cao Cao's camp.
Looking at the battle at the foot of the mountain, Dian Wei frowned and said,"
"Brother Ruozhong, I can see that Sun Jian's troops are all infantry, and they can't be compared to Dong Zhuo's elite cavalry. Even if they have more troops, I'm afraid they won't be able to win.”
As he spoke, he tilted his head and looked at the young man beside him.
This person was nearly eight feet tall, with a white face and a tall hat. He was wearing a goose feather cloak, and compared to Dian Wei, he looked rather noble.
The one Dian Wei called Brother Ruo Zhong was this person.
However, if Zhong was a character, the young man's name was actually Baili Ming.
He and Dian Wei weren't blood brothers, but had become friends when he was fleeing.
He knew that Dian Wei was going to join the army, so he followed him.
Hearing Dian Wei's words, Baili Ming smiled and said,"
"Since Brother Dian doesn't believe me, why don't we make a bet?”
"Sun Jian will definitely win this battle!"
"The bet this time is a little smaller. I'll bet on the pair of halberds on your back. If you win, I'll return you everything I lost to you!”
"If you lose, the halberd will be mine.”
However, when Dian Wei heard that Baili Ming wanted to make a bet, he immediately looked as if he had seen a ghost. He shook his head anxiously and said,
"No, no, no. This is my family heirloom. I won't bet anymore!”
"If you want to say it, then say it. If you don't want to say it, then so be it. Why do you still want my iron halberd?”
As he spoke, he covered the halberds on his back, blocking Baili Ming's line of sight.
It was as if if the two halberds on his back would be tricked in the next second if he did not watch closely!
It wasn't that he was overreacting.
Baili Ming really had a criminal record!
Ever since he had met Baili Ming, he had witnessed Baili Ming's extraordinary intelligence.
No matter how big or small the matter was, as long as it was something Baili Ming said, he would agree to it.
It was as if his mouth had opened.
Along the way, he had convinced countless wealthy families and merchants.
At first, he didn't believe in evil, so he made a bet with Baili Ming. In the end, he lost everything he could!
Moreover, this fellow was cunning. Whatever he obtained, he would immediately take it out. He would never keep it in his hands.
Even the tiger skin coat he was wearing had been replaced by a goose feather cloak by Baili Ming.
Otherwise, who would be willing to come in this winter?
Therefore, when he heard that this fellow wanted to bet again, he was naturally unwilling.
It was obvious that as long as Baili Ming got his hands on this pair of iron halberds, he might sell them for money and go on a feast!
Although he would not lose half of the food and drink, he was not willing to use his family heirloom to exchange for enjoyment!
Seeing Dian Wei holding the iron halberd and looking like a wronged little wife, Baili Ming laughed again.
It seemed that his thoughts had been seen through!
However, it was fine.
He looked at the battlefield and said leisurely,
"Since Brother Dian doesn't want to bet, then forget it.”
"Brother Dian said that it would be very difficult for Sun Jian's army to win, but it's not the case. In my opinion, Sun Jian's plan is complete and he can win in an instant!”
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Seeing Baili Ming begin to answer, Dian Wei hurriedly asked.
Baili Ming pointed at the battlefield and said,"
"Elder brother, look. Sun Jian has sent out more than ten thousand troops, all infantry. The enemy has five thousand and a large number of elite cavalry.”
"On the surface, Hu Zhen is leading the cavalry to attack Sun Jian's army.”
"But did you see Sun Jian panic?”
Dian Wei looked in the direction Baili Ming pointed.
They were not far from the battlefield, but it was impossible for them to see Sun Jian's expression clearly.
However, they could see a mighty general in a red battle robe riding on a horse on the battlefield in the distance. He did not move at all when facing the enemy's charging formation!
Seeing this, Dian Wei Qi said:
"As you said, why isn't Sun Jian moving?”
Hearing this, Baili Ming smiled and said,"
"There are three reasons why Sun Jian didn't move. First, he doesn't want to defeat the enemy, but rather, he wants to devour them.”
"Secondly, the enemy cavalry can only charge forward in one go, but they will be exhausted in the third.”
"If Sun Jian holds fast, he can make the enemy lose their spirit!”
"Third, Sun Jian's subordinates are all infantry. Although he is strict in his management, it is difficult for him to resist the enemy cavalry. If he wants to hold on, as the commander, he must be as steady as a mountain to maintain the morale of the army.”
"In summary, Sun Jian doesn't want to move, doesn't dare to move, and can't move.”
"However, now that the enemy has lost their spirit and is exhausted, it is a good opportunity for Sun Jian to finish off this enemy. If I am not wrong, he should still have an ambush. Once this army appears, the enemy will definitely be defeated!”
"I see!"
Hearing this, Dian Wei nodded as if he had understood something.
"It moved!"
But at this moment, Baili Ming's voice rang out, causing him to shift his gaze to the battlefield.
Just as Baili Ming had expected, Sun Jian moved.
What followed was the army that had been like an iron curtain just now. The army shouted and roared, instantly surrounding the enemy cavalry that was still charging at the army formation like a tide.
The thousands of cavalrymen were surrounded and divided by Sun Jian's army, turning into lone boats in the sea.
At the same time, thousands of soldiers rushed out from the hill in the distance. They rushed toward the battlefield like a torrent.
Dian Wei couldn't help but gasp when he saw the drastic change in the battlefield.
Everything was just as Baili Ming had said. From the purpose, tactics, to the result, it was exactly the same!
This brother of his was really strong!
There was no doubt that Sun Jian would win this battle!
Thinking of this, Dian Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Brother is truly a born wise man. I admire you!”
But facing Dian Wei's praise, Baili Ming didn't care at all. He propped himself up, patted the dust off his feet, and said with a smile,
"Brother Dian, let's go to Liang Dong to meet this Sun Jian!”
"Liang Dong?"
Dian Wei was puzzled.
"Brother, Sun Jian is at the foot of the mountain. Why don't you go down directly?”
Baili Ming shook his head and smiled.
"Appearing now might not be a good time to meet Sun Jian.”
"As for Liang Dong, I'm certain that Sun Jian will go to the camp!”
Dian Wei was surprised again:
"How did you know that Sun Jian would go to Liang Dong to camp?”
"I guessed."
Baili Ming said casually. Suddenly, he grinned and looked at Dian Wei.
"Brother, do you want to bet?"
"Another bet?"
Dian Wei glared at him and immediately stood up.
"Only a fool would bet with you!"
"Liang Dong, right? Let's go now!”
Without waiting for Baili Ming's reply, he fled down the mountain.
