Lu Bu fought Gongsun Zan for several more rounds, forcing Gongsun Zan to only parry but not to fight back. Gongsun Zan already knew in his heart that he was no match.
Moreover, Lu Bu's attacks became more and more fierce. Gongsun Zan knew that if he continued to fight like this, he might be killed by Lu Bu's halberd today, so he was so timid that he wanted to run away. After all, none of the previous attacks had any good consequences.
But as soon as he was timid, he lost even faster. He struggled frequently and was surrounded by dangers.
Gongsun Zan had no choice but to turn around and make a feint, throwing his long spear directly at Lu Bu, then turned his horse's head and ran away.
Lu Bu paused for a moment. When he saw Gongsun Zan running away, how could he do what he wanted? After all, Gongsun Zan was one of the eighteen princes. If he achieved the rank of Gongsun Zan, it would be a great achievement.
Therefore, Lu Bu made a red rabbit move and chased Gongsun Zan. But then he picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd, flew the long spear away, and continued to chase on his red rabbit horse.
Under Lu Bu's crotch was the famous horse Red Rabbit, flying away like the wind, and just as he was about to catch up, Lu Bu raised his Fangtian Painted Halberd and stabbed Gongsun Zan in the back.
Liu Bei, who was in Gongsun Zan's formation, saw that he was in danger and ordered Zhang Fei: "My dear brother, go and save Lord Gongsun."
Zhang Fei had been gearing up for a long time. When he heard the order, he raised his spear without saying a word and immediately shouted: "Slaves with the three surnames should not hurt anyone! Zhang Fei from Yan is here!"
After saying that, they saw a black figure heading towards Lu Bu at the coalition camp. Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was Liu Bei's sworn brother Zhang Fei. Because of his dark body and the black horse under his crotch, everyone looked at him like a black whirlwind.
Lu Bu was about to stab Gongsun Zan to death, but he didn't want to be interrupted. He angrily fought with Zhang Fei, and Gongsun Zan also took the opportunity to escape back to his headquarters.
Lu Bu turned around and saw the man with wide eyes, an upside-down tiger's beard, and eight-foot-long snake spear. Judging from his appearance, he looked quite majestic.
Although the person in front of him was not as handsome as him, he looked even more majestic. Lu Bu was angry and gave up chasing Gongsun Zan. He turned around and fought Zhang Fei, hoping to kill this black thing who didn't know the height of the sky in one fell swoop.
Although Zhang Fei was reckless, he was naturally wary when he saw how brave Lu Bu was. He immediately cheered up and fought fiercely against Lu Bu.
The two horses crossed each other, and Zhang Fei was seen holding a Zhangba snake spear in his hand, using the power of his horse power to sweep directly towards Lu Bu. When Lu Bu saw this, he turned the head of Fang Tian's painted halberd down and tilted it upward towards Zhang Fei.
"Dang" the two men clashed with their halberds and spears, and it was like a sudden explosion of thunder on the ground, which made the ears of the soldiers of both armies ring.
Lu Bu and Zhang Fei fought hard, but felt that the hand holding the halberd was a little numb. It was obvious that Zhang Fei's strength was not weak. Only then did Lu Bu know that the strength of this arrogant black man was not inferior to his.
The two of them fought back and forth for more than ten rounds. Lu Bu discovered that the black man in front of him was really good at martial arts, and Zhang Fei was using all his moves vigorously. He already knew that he had met his opponent. Lu Bu immediately became extremely excited, cheered up, and fought with Zhang Fei again.
Lu Bu also had to deal with it with all his strength. Although Lu Bu suppressed the battle after thirty moves, Zhang Fei still couldn't win for a while despite Zhang Fei's desperate efforts.
After Zhang Fei and Lu Bu exchanged blows, he knew that Lu Bu was stronger than him in terms of strength. Moreover, just looking at his martial arts, he knew that Lu Bu had superb halberd skills and could be said to be his strongest opponent since his debut. So Zhang Fei also roused himself to fight with all his strength.
At that moment, they held their breath and went all out. After fifty rounds, the two of them were still deadlocked. However, the attack speed of Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear slowly slowed down.
After playing more than ten rounds, Lu Bu had already figured out the way. I saw Lu Bu using Fang Tian's painted halberd to hold Zhang Fei's spear, and then pressed it to the side. With this pressure, before Zhang Fei could react, he caught the red rabbit in the horse's belly. After spreading his hooves and rushing forward for a few steps, Lu Bu came to Zhang Fei. Fang Tian drew his halberd and pushed Zhang Fei's eight-foot snake spear away, and then directly struck Zhang Fei with the head of the halberd.
When Zhang Fei saw this, he yelled "Ha!" and the head of the eight-foot-long snake spear fell to the ground. He grabbed the front and rear ends of the spear with both hands and used the spear body to hold the halberd that Lu Bu was swinging.
There was a loud "ding" sound, and the four hooves of the black horse under Zhang Fei's crotch shook at the same time. Fortunately, Zhang Fei was riding a top-grade BMW. If it were an inferior horse, it might not be able to withstand Lu Bu's heavy chop.
I saw that the strong wind brought by Lu Bu's heavy chop swept up the sand on the ground and made everyone outside the venue seem to be covered with a layer of mist when they looked at the two people. This shows how powerful Lu Bu's heavy chop was.
Although Zhang Fei blocked Lu Bu's heavy blow, his arms became extremely sore at the same time. Lu Bu took advantage of the situation and danced his heavy halberd shadow towards Zhang Fei. When Zhang Fei saw what seemed like thousands of halberd shadows coming over him, he didn't dare to be negligent, so he used all his energy to dance with his eight-foot-long snake spear to attack Lu Bu hard.
"Ding ding ding ding" the sound of halberds and spears clashing one after another rang out. Zhang Fei tried his best to be able to take Lu Bu's attack. After this round of attacks, everyone saw that the tip of Zhang Ba Snake Spear in Zhang Fei's hand hit Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painted Halberd. Then he saw the snake spear in Zhang Fei's hand being danced like a real black python, constantly picking, stabbing, and spinning towards Lu Bu from tricky angles.
Zhang Fei attacked while Lu Bu defended. After defending Zhang Fei's attack, Lu Bu attacked Zhang Fei fiercely.
The two men constantly exchanged offense and defense, and the fight was extremely intense. The princes in the coalition camp were dazzled by what they saw, but Dong Zhuo, who was locked in Hulao, was secretly frightened.
However, he never expected that there were so many powerful figures in the coalition forces. First, there was Zhao Yun, who was comparable to Lu Bu in archery, and now there was Zhang Fei, who could fight alone with Lu Bu for dozens of times.
Lu Bu and Zhang Fei fought for more than fifty rounds. After Zhang Fei defended Lu Bu's fierce attack, he stabbed Lu Bu from a tricky angle with his snake spear.
However, after fighting for more than fifty rounds, Lu Bu had almost seen through Zhang Fei's attack methods. He saw Lu Bu spin Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, and then used the tip of the halberd and the crescent moon on one side of the halberd to face Zhang Fei. The flying snake spear of eight feet. He immediately trapped Zhang Fei's Zhang Ba Snake Spear, and then locked it with force, making it impossible for Zhang Fei's Zhang Ba Snake Spear to move forward or retreat.
After the two people's halberds and spears met, their weapons became entangled. If one party withdrew his weapon, the other party's weapon would be released. Therefore, neither of them gave way and they were fighting for it with brute force. In fact, Lu Bu didn't expect this. He originally wanted to limit Zhang Fei's attack, but Zhang Fei took advantage of the situation and pierced the Zhangba snake spear into the gap between the tip of the halberd and the crescent moon, causing the two weapons to explode. entangled together.
The two of them were wrestling like this. Although Lu Bu had been fighting for a long time, he was still slightly better than Zhang Fei in terms of strength, forcing Zhang Fei to keep drinking. His originally dark face had turned red at this time.
In Gongsun Zan's formation, Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei fell behind after ten moves and couldn't help but get anxious. He said to Guan Yu: "Today is the day when our brothers will become famous. Why should we hesitate?"
Guan Yu knew a lot about this third brother and knew that although he could hold on, he would definitely not be Lu Bu's opponent. Guan Yu glanced at Yuan Xichu and saw that he was also staring ahead, holding the sword tightly in his hand. The deputy looked like he was going out to help.
Guan Yu saw that Zhang Fei was obviously at a disadvantage among the two fighting, but he was afraid that Zhang Fei would make a mistake, so he patted his horse and rushed towards the battle group. Stepped forward to help Zhang Fei.
At that moment, he didn't care anymore. He slapped the horse on his crotch, brandished the 82-jin Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and directly attacked Lu Bu from both sides.
I saw Guan Yu coming on Pegasus, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword from bottom to top, but the target was the two entangled weapons. There was only a "dang" sound, and the three weapons clashed. Fang Tian's painted halberd and Zhangba snake spear were lifted into the air by Guan Yu.
Zhang Fei saw the opportunity and drew back the Zhangba Snake Spear, but it was just vertical. Zhang Fei pulled back the Zhangba Snake Spear, and then stabbed Lu Bu with the spear. At the same time, Guan Yu also danced the Qinglong Yanyue Sword weighing 82 kilograms. He slashed at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu saw another big red-faced man coming towards him with a sword. Instead of panicking, Lu Bu became more motivated to fight.
Because the impact of an immediate slashing attack is greater, the accuracy is not as good as a step-by-step attack. Guan and Zhang were attacking Lu Bu at the same time. At this time, Lu Bu had not yet recovered. Seeing the fierceness of the two men, he immediately clamped the belly of the red rabbit and horse, and at the same time waved his painted halberd to block their attacks. After blocking the two attacks, Chitu Ma was charging forward, but it was unable to use the backhand that the two had prepared.
Under the attack of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, Lu Bu relied on Chi Tu's divine horse every time he went back and forth. Not only did he not fall behind, but he became more courageous as he fought.
Zhang Fei saw this and shouted, "It's so exciting." After saying this, he made a move with Wu Zui on his crotch and attacked Lu Bu from the left. When Guan Yu saw this, he also rode his horse to attack Lu Bu from the right. Zhang Fei's horse was fast and he was the first to kill him, but Lu Bu was not afraid and danced his halberd to hit Zhang Fei.
"Dang, Dang, Dang" Fang Tian's painted halberd struck three times with Zhangba's snake spear. At this time, Guan Yu had already arrived. Lu Bu did not wait for Guan Yu to take action and stabbed Guan Yu first with his halberd. Guan Yu saw that the Qinglong Yanyue knife, which was originally in the shape of chopping, whirled, and used the blade like a flying green dragon to block Lu Bu's piercing halberd.
Lu Bu and Zhang Fei fought hard for more than ten times, and both of their hands were a little numb. But every time he gained the upper hand, Guan Yu's Yanyue Sword rushed towards him and saved him every time. This made him extremely annoyed.
Lu Bu attacked Guan Yu, but Zhang Fei had already turned his horse's head and stabbed Lu Bu directly in the back with his eight-foot-long snake spear. Lu Bu seemed to have a pair of eyes on his back. Just when Zhang Fei's snake spear was about to stab him, he suddenly hooked his right foot on the right stirrup of the red rabbit horse, and then his whole body fell to the right. Zhang Fei's thrust failed.
When Guan Yu saw this, he raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword above his head without hesitation, and then slashed at Lu Bu, who was hanging on the right side of the red rabbit horse.
Lu Bu grabbed the reins with his left hand and patted the Red Rabbit Horse's neck. The Red Rabbit Horse understood and rushed forward. Lu Bu held the halberd in his right hand, touched the ground with the tail of the halberd, and used the force to stab upwards. The target was the green dragon struck by Guan Yu. Yanyue knife.
With a "ding" sound, the tip of Lu Bu Fangtian's painted halberd collided with the blade of Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and there was a clear sound. At this time, the red rabbit horse had already carried Lu Bu across Guan Yu. Lu Bu's painted halberd touched the ground again, and he took advantage of the force to fly into the air. Then he grabbed the reins with his left hand and turned around in the air under the incredulous eyes of everyone. The Fang Tian painted halberd in his right hand swept towards Guan Yu.
At this time, Guan Yu hadn't turned around yet when he felt a strong wind coming from behind. Although he didn't know how Lu Bu did it, he guessed that it was Lu Bu's attack. However, Guan Yu's horse was not strong and he could not make better dodge movements, so he had to lie down on the horse's back immediately. When Lu Bu saw this, he immediately changed his attack and used the crescent moon on his halberd to slash Guan Yu diagonally.
Just when everyone thought that Guan Yu was about to die under Lu Bu's halberd, Zhang Fei had already arrived at Guan Yu's side, and with the advantage of the length of the snake spear in his hand, he used the spearhead to block the tip of Lu Bu's painted halberd Crescent Moon. Guan Yu escaped the disaster.
The three people fought back and forth, and all the princes were stunned. Yuan Xi also stared blankly at the three people fighting in front of him. He had never seen such a fierce fight. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were among the tens of thousands of soldiers who could take advantage of them. A peerless general who is the enemy's general, but even now, he is still on par with Lu Bu. Is this still a human being?
When the soldiers and generals of the Kwantung Allied Forces saw the three men fighting fiercely, they couldn't help but marvel at their bravery, especially Lu Bu's.
When Liu Bei saw that the two brothers were gradually defeating Lu Bu, he thought it was time for him to show his face to increase his reputation. At this time, the battle was already close to a lily, but Lu Bu was still fighting vigorously and did not fall behind at all. Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not appear defeated, their moves were obviously not as aggressive and sharp as before.
So he also shouted "Liu Bei is here" and stepped forward to help. Liu Bei held two swords in his hands, raised his horse slightly, and was about to charge forward.
As soon as Liu Bei joined the battle, Guan Yu secretly complained that Lu Bu was a child's play. The tacit understanding he and Zhang Feicai had gradually cooperated with was suddenly interrupted, and now he had to distract himself from protecting Liu Bei.
Lu Bu thought that if this continued, it would lead to a draw, so why not behead the enemy's commander-in-chief.
So Lu Bu laughed wildly and said: "All rats from Guandong, come together!"
After saying that, he dodged Zhang Fei's spear and ignored Guan Yu's Yanyue Sword. He drew his halberd and headed straight for Liu Bei. He saw that Liu Bei was the biggest flaw and Guan Yu had been protecting him, so he wanted to take a gamble.
Guan Yu's sword sealed the halberd. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu swept Liu Bei with the tail of the halberd. Liu Bei was caught off guard and was knocked off his horse.
Lu Bu did not look back, but went straight to the central army.
Here Guan Yu quickly dismounted and rescued Liu Bei, while Zhang Fei chased after him.
Lu Bu had expected it, and the halberd had been hung on his horse. Without stopping, he turned around, bent his bow, and shot three arrows in a row.
When Zhang Fei saw the cold light coming, he ducked to avoid the first arrow, and used his spear to block the second arrow that made his arm numb. However, the third arrow went straight to the horse where he sat down.
The war horse was struck by an arrow and neighed, knocking Zhang Fei over.
In a moment, Lu Bu arrived in front of the Chinese army. He once again drew his bow, aimed at Yuan Shao, and shot his arrow like a meteor.
Yan Liang was well prepared when he saw Lu Bu coming. He held a sword in one hand and a shield in front of Yuan Shao.
Because the distance was farther, the arrows shot were deflected by him, or blocked with a shield.
But the red tug is such a divine horse, it approaches in a moment.
More than thirty soldiers with spears were ordered to step forward to block Lu Bu. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu drew his halberd and waved the soldiers' spears, and all of them got away, killing several soldiers with several blows.
Wen Chou quickly rushed forward and stabbed Lu Bu with his spear.
Lu Bu didn't want to get entangled and relied on Chi Tu's momentum to move forward.
Yan Liang couldn't let him get his wish, so he stepped forward with his sword and blocked Lu Bu's path.
Yuan Shao was frightened and quickly ordered groups of spearmen to form a dense hedgehog-like formation in front of him to protect him.
We have to be afraid, in this era Lu Bu is the humanoid tank.
Lu Bu didn't want to think that Yuan Shaojun also had such difficult characters as Yan Liang, Wen Chou. Although he was slightly inferior to the previous two Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, it would still take a lot of effort to kill him, and he might even be injured.
Seeing that he could not assassinate Yuan Shao, he was a little angry. Should he return empty-handed?
At this time, from the corner of his eye, he saw a handsome young man wearing exquisite armor sitting on a white horse in front of the array. He expected that although this man was young, he must be an important figure in the Chinese army and wore such armor. I'm afraid it wouldn't be difficult to kill this man if he failed to assassinate Yuan Shao.
After thinking about it, he broke away from the fighting circle with Yan Liang Wen Chou and went straight to Yuan Xi.
Over there, Yuan Xi didn't expect that Lu Bu, who was fighting with the "Three Heroes", would suddenly defeat the three of them and attack Yuan Shao. He just wanted Xu Chu to go up and protect Yuan Shao, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu would attack in his direction. .
Yuan Xi didn't think too much, he bent his bow and arrow and shot at Lu Bu according to the essence of archery taught by Zhao Yun. You must know that he had practiced Zuo Ci's "Guidance Technique" and added the power-generating method taught by Zhao Yun, and he shot this One arrow is quite threatening.
Seeing the urgency of the arrow coming, Lu Bu hid on his horse and dodged, but his speed also slowed down.
Yuan Xi knew that the arrow he shot would not hurt Lu Bu, but the goal had been achieved. Xu Chu shouted and raised his sword to strike at Lu Bu, striking him three times.
Lu Bu was surprised that Xu Chu was as powerful as Zhang Fei before, so he didn't think much and rode his horse past Xu Chu and continued to advance.
The person standing in front of him this time was the young general Zhao Yun who had previously ridden a white horse to shoot with him.
Zhao Yun swung his spear with a whine, completely blocking Lu Bu's path.
Lu Bu was also holding his breath very hard and didn't want to kick a hard steel plate.
Seeing that his son was in danger, Yuan Shao even ordered Wen Chou to step forward to help in the battle. Seeing that he was about to be surrounded again, Lu Bu turned Chi Tu back to his own formation angrily.
Zhao Yun took out his bow and asked Yuan Xi with his eyes. The latter shook his head, and Zhao Yun had to put down the divine arm bow.
After returning to the main formation, Lu Bu led the Xiliang cavalry to launch a tentative attack in an attempt to find flaws in the coalition forces.
Yuan Shao hurriedly asked the messengers to wave flags and command the coalition forces to form a formation to resist the cavalry.
The Xiliang cavalry tried to detour behind the coalition forces, but due to the narrow terrain, half of the coalition forces in the camp were watching eagerly and could not make any major moves.
After achieving some results, a square-faced general next to Lu Bu said to him: "Marquis Wen, once we have achieved our goal, if we continue to fight, we will consume our army's strength."
Lu Bu wiped the blood spattered on his face and said calmly: "Gao Shun, send the order to retreat."
The square-faced general immediately asked the messengers to sound the gong, and the Xiliang cavalry gathered their troops and returned to Hulao Pass.
Seeing that Cao Cao had finally won the hardest nut to crack, Cao Cao no longer hesitated and shouted: "Come on!"
All of a sudden, the Eighth Route Army soldiers shouted loudly, and they all covered up and killed them.
Lu Bu's army was defeated and fled in great embarrassment.
Yuan Xi, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others rushed directly to Lu Bu to pass the pass. Xu Chu looked up and saw someone watching the Qingluo umbrella cover blowing in the west wind. Immediately he shouted: "This must be Dong Zhuo! What's the use of chasing Lu Bu? It's better to kill the Dong thief first, that is, to eradicate the root!"
After saying that, he patted the horse and continued to chase.
When Yuan Xi saw that Lu Bu had been let in, he quickly stopped Xu Chu and said loudly: "Stop quickly. The defense above is tight and we can't get in."
There were only a few hundred of them in total, and the soldiers and horses led by Cao Cao behind them were still two or three miles away. Yuan Xi didn't want to face the arrows and stones that closed the door for a while. It would be too easy to die in battle.
Xu Chu was not a fool. He glanced at Guan Guan again and cursed: "Slave with the third surname, didn't you say we're going to challenge each other? Come and compete with your Grandpa Xu."
Yuan Xi, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang hid their faces and walked back.
Cao Cao led eight soldiers and horses over and saw that the gate was tightly guarded. They did not bring siege ladders, so he retreated with a few people.
Looking at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were clustered in the middle, Yuan Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought that although the great contribution this time was due to Guan and Zhang, he had also made a small contribution and left a mark among the princes. Impression.
But his identity is not Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. He still has his own troops. When he returns to his army, he doesn't want to say anything for a moment.
Yuan Xi turned his head. He didn't feel anything just now, but now he only felt soreness all over his body.
"Lü Bu is really the God of War!" Yuan Xi said with emotion as he turned back to several people while riding his horse.
That night, the coalition forces camped.
Zhang Chao, Zhang Yang and others strongly praised the coalition forces, under the command of leader Yuan Shao, for their victory in the battle and repulsed the Xiliang cavalry.
Although it was somewhat deviated from the facts, Yuan Shao accepted it happily.
Cao Cao was drinking and sneering below. Is this called victory?
Yuan Shao asked Gongsun Zan: "The ones who fought against Lu Bu during the day were probably the three warriors behind you, but they were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei."
Gongsun Zan introduced: "Replying to the leader of the alliance, it is Liu Bei, the commander of Pingyuan, and his two brothers Zhang Fei and Guan Yu."
The three people standing behind Gongsun Zan quickly came out to greet everyone.
Gongsun Zan also talked about Liu Bei's origins and his achievements in conquering the Yellow Turbans. Yuan Shao did not take it seriously that he mentioned royal descendants. At this time, there were many descendants of the Liu family, and he didn't know whether they were true or false.
But he still politely asked someone to bring a few futons to the table, and asked Liu Bei to kneel down at the end of the table and wait on him. After all, he had just made a meritorious service.
Cao Cao was quite interested in Guan Yu, a red-faced man, and was polite to the three of them.
Next, the two armies faced each other at Hulao Pass, and the war made no progress. So Sun Jian led his troops forward and arrived at Luyang to meet Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu then joined forces with Sun Jian and declared him as the general who broke the captives and also led the governor of Yuzhou. Therefore, Sun Jian rested his troops in Luyang (now Lushan, Henan), prepared his troops and horses, and prepared to march against Dong Zhuo.
In the winter of the first year of Chuping (190), after taking a short rest in Luyang, Sun Jian wanted to march against Dong Zhuo. Before setting off, he sent Chief Shi Gongqiucheng to lead his troops to urge for military supplies. To this end, he gathered the officials outside the east gate of Luyang City, set up a tent to drink wine, and saw Gongqiucheng off.
Dong Zhuo heard that Sun Jian was going to raise an army, so he sent Hu Zhen, the governor of Dongjun, to lead troops to Luyang to fight. Sun Jian was drinking and laughing with his subordinates when Hu Zhen's advance cavalry suddenly attacked. Sun Jian ordered the troops to reorganize their lineup and not to act rashly, while he drank and talked and laughed freely.
As the enemy's cavalry increased, Sun Jian slowly got up and left his seat, guiding the soldiers into the city in an orderly manner. Sun Jian said to his generals: "If Xiang Jian does not rise immediately, he is afraid that the troops will cross each other and borrow money, and you will not be able to hear it." Hu Zhen saw that Sun Jian's troops and horses were well-organized, well-disciplined, and full of fighting spirit. He did not dare to attack the city, so he withdrew his troops and left. .
On the other side, Sun Jian led his army to the east of Liang County. In the first battle, he was defeated by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong. He gathered the remaining troops and stationed in Yangren.
Dong Zhuo sent Hu Zhen, the governor of Dongjun, with 5,000 infantry and cavalry troops to attack Sun Jian, and mobilized Lu Bu's troops to help. In February of the second year of Chuping (191), Sun Jian led the Yuzhou Army to march to Liangdong (east of today's Linru County, Henan Province) and attacked Luoyang. Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by Xu Rong, and the Yuzhou soldiers were defeated. Sun Jian and a dozen cavalry broke out and escaped.
Sun Jianping wore a red kitchen turban (turban) every day. When he broke out of the siege eastward, due to the tense situation and embarrassing situation, he had to take off the turban and let his trusted subordinate Zu Mao wear it to attract the enemy.
Dong Zhuo's cavalry thought that the man wearing the red turban was Sun Jian, so they came to chase him one after another. Only then did Sun Jian have a chance to escape from the siege through the trail. Zu Mao was embarrassed by the pursuing soldiers and had almost no way out. Later, he came up with a plan, jumped off his horse, covered a red silk scarf on a burning pillar in front of the tomb, and lay still in the grass. Dong Zhuo's cavalry saw Chi Guo from a distance, thinking that Sun Jian was here, so they surrounded the place layer by layer. When they came forward, they found that Sun Jian was not there, it was just a burning pillar. Then they withdrew their troops and left.
Sun Jian suffered such a huge defeat and almost lost his life, but he did not lose heart. He collected scattered soldiers along the way and occupied Taiguyangren (now the west of Linxian County). He was on strict guard and prepared to wait for an opportunity to fight again and humiliate him.
