Xi Zuo reported to Li Ru the lack of food in Sun Jian's army. He quickly advised Hua Xiong, saying: "In this situation, they have no fighting spirit. I will lead a small group of soldiers to harass their rear at night. General, you Just attack his front directly, and Sun Jian will be captured soon."
Hua Xiong agreed and started preparations that night.
After Yu Yi learned about the situation, he felt a little at a loss. He really had no chance to pass on the news. Li Ru just happened to come to him and asked to go harass the rear together in the evening. Yu Yi agreed, and could only pray that Sun Jian would be lucky and be there by then. If you can help on site, please give me some help.
So Hua Xiong made the sergeant eat well, and after nightfall, he secretly headed towards Sun Jian's camp. The moon was dark and the wind was high, making it a very suitable night for a sneak attack.
When the army arrived near Sun Jian's camp, it was already around early morning. Hua Xiong quickly beat the war drums and headed straight for Sun Jian's camp. After Sun Jian heard the sound, he quickly put on his clothes and prepared to fight. When he left the camp, he happened to meet Hua Xiong. Li Ru and Yu Yi's troops also came behind him. Instead of attacking, they set fire to the camp behind and killed him.
Sun Jian's sergeants were in a mess, running around, basically not listening to any orders, and the entire camp fell into a melee.
Yu Yi watched the situation outside and thought about ways to rescue Sun Jian.
Sun Jian was only followed by Zu Mao at this time, and the two broke out relatively smoothly. Suddenly, Sun Jian noticed that Hua Xiong was chasing him from behind. Sun Jian quickly took out his bow and arrow and shot two arrows in the direction of Hua Xiong, but Hua Xiong dodged them. , when he fired the third arrow, he used too much force in the emergency, and actually broke the bow, broke the magpie bow, and could only throw away the bow and arrow and ride on the horse.
Yu Yi saw Sun Jian wearing a red turban on his head outside, and almost all the attacks were aimed at this. He took the opportunity and shouted: "Don't leave, the thief! Let's see how powerful your grandpa Yu Yi is!"
Li Ru stood aside watching the show, and suddenly Yu Yi came out like this. He was very surprised. He had the impression that Yu Yi didn't know martial arts, so how could he rush over like this.
After all, Sun Jian's back was turned to Yu Yi, and Yu Yi only called out when he was close by. He channeled his inner energy into his right hand and shot Sun Jian's head hard.
Hua Xiong was also very surprised when he saw it, and laughed and said, "Master Yuyi, this is a good trick."
Sun Jian turned around and wanted to hide, but it was too late. The flying knife did not hit Sun Jian's vital parts, but only shot off the red turban on his head.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Jian quickly jumped off his horse and blended into the crowd. Hua Xiong couldn't figure out Sun Jian's location for a while.
Zu Mao supported Sun Jian and said: "My lord, the red turban on his head is very obvious. The thieves all know each other, so everyone is attacking in this direction. They don't know where this Yu Yi comes from. He shouted on his face that he wanted to kill him." You, I'm actually trying to save you, please leave quickly and I'll put on this red turban to attract their attention."
Sun Jian was shocked after hearing this. He remembered that Yu Yi and Liu Bei had fought against the Yellow Turban bandits before, but he didn't know exactly why he did so. He didn't have time to think about it, so he followed Zu Mao's instructions and the two walked separately.
Zu Mao picked up the red turban on the ground and put it on his head, successfully attracting everyone's attention.
Yu Yi observed that the figure of the man was somewhat similar to Sun Jian, but it was obvious that he had been swapped. Knowing that Sun Jian should run away, he shouted: "Sun Jian, thief, you are really lucky, you won't die even if you do this!"
Hua Xiong looked a little surprised when he saw Yu Yi's flying knife. Then he looked in the direction of Sun Jian's fallen horse and said, "Lord Yu Yi, it doesn't matter. We just need to chase the man wearing the red gauze."
At this time, Li Ru also came over, looking at Yu Yi with a surprised look on his face, and said, "Can't you tell, you still have this method?"
"Haha, it's just a small skill, it can't reach the level of elegance!" Yu Yi said modestly.
So everyone followed Hua Xiong's advice and went after the man wearing the red gauze. Sun Jian ran away from the alley. Zu Mao was chased by Hua Xiong in a hurry, so he picked up the red gauze with a weapon and threw it to a pillar that could not be burned. above, and then dived towards the woods.
Hua Xiong reached the vicinity of Chiguo and surrounded him, but he did not dare to step forward. He suspected that there was an ambush, so he shot with a bow and arrow. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked, so he stepped forward and prepared to use his weapons to kill him.
At this time, Zu Mao was in the woods and found that Hua Xiong was getting closer and closer to him. Because it was an excellent opportunity, he rushed out of the woods and wanted to kill Hua Xiong with his two knives.
Hua Xiong just smiled, and with a backhand slash, he beheaded Zu Mao under his horse, then turned the horse's head and led the team back to the camp to cover up the killing. After clearing the battlefield, it was already the early morning of the next day.
After Sun Jian escaped, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others searched for him one after another. Finally, they found Sun Jian and packed up the remaining things. Sun Jian narrated the story of the flying knife and Zu Mao, and shed tears when he talked about the sad part. .
The lesson from this failure was painful. He sent someone to report the failure to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao and others were discussing how to celebrate Sun Jian after he won the battle. When he heard the news of the defeat at the front, he was very surprised and said: "I didn't expect that the enemy army was so powerful. Sun Jian, who was brave and good at fighting, was defeated by Hua Xiong." , what should we do?"
So he immediately summoned all the princes to discuss a solution.
Everyone arrived, but Gongsun Zan was the last to come. Yuan Shao invited them all to sit in the tent and said, "A few days ago, General Bao's younger brother disobeyed orders and marched without permission. Not only did he die at the hands of Hua Xiong, but he also lost many soldiers." , now Sun Jian has been defeated by Hua Xiong again, the enemy is at its peak, our spirit has been dampened, what should we do?"
As soon as Yuan Shao said this, everyone remained silent.
Yuan Shao saw several people behind Gongsun Zan who had unusual looks and some smiles on their faces, which were sneers. Yuan Shao was a little unhappy and said, "Who are the three people standing behind Grand Administrator Gongsun?"
Gongsun Zan asked Liu Bei to stand up and introduced him: "This man was my childhood playmate. He is now the magistrate of Pingyuan County. His name is Liu Bei!"
Cao Cao seemed to have some impression, and said: "Liu Bei? Is he the Liu Bei who made many contributions in the fight against the Yellow Turban bandits?"
Gongsun Zan replied: "You are right, it is him!"
Gongsun Zan asked Liu Bei to meet with Cao Cao, and then introduced him as the queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing and a member of the royal family. He also introduced his achievements in defeating the Yellow Turban bandits and his situation to everyone present.
When he heard that he was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao did not dare to neglect him and said: "Since you are a clan member of the Han Dynasty, it is definitely inappropriate to stand."
After finishing speaking, he sent someone to move a seat and asked Liu Bei to sit down before talking.
Liu Bei sat next to Gongsun Zan and bowed his hands to Yuan Shao to express his gratitude. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood on both sides of Liu Bei.
