Chapter 168
The next day, Cao Cao immediately ordered people to build a high platform for worshiping the sky. It had three floors, and the flags of the five directions were lined up.

Yuan Shao tidied up his clothes, put on his sword, went up, burned incense and prayed to the sky, and said passionately: "The Han family is unfortunate, and the emperor's order is out of order. The traitor Dong Zhuo, taking advantage of provocations and indulging in harm, harmed the supreme and abused the people. Shao and others are afraid of the country. Lost, gather righteous soldiers, and go to the country. All our alliances, working together, so that the festival, there must be no two ambitions. If you have this alliance, you will lose your life, and there will be no legacy. The emperor and the land, the ancestors, Learn from the facts!"

After Yuan Shao finished speaking loudly, he drew out the sharp sword from his waist and stabbed the palm of his left hand. The blood flowed into the wine glass. He picked it up and drank it all.

The other princes also followed suit. Standing below, they took out their swords and cut their hands.

Liu Xie felt pain when he saw it, but he couldn't move under the eyes of everyone. He closed his eyes and cut a small cut cruelly. Regardless of whether there was blood or not, he quickly picked up the wine glass and drank it. For fear of being discovered by others, he pretended to be Distressed look.

After offering sacrifices to heaven and drinking blood to form an alliance, everyone entered the camp and sat down one by one.

Yuan Shao is now the leader of the alliance, so he sat on it as a matter of course and gave orders, saying: "Now that Hua Xiong has led [-] troops to Sishuiguan, our coalition forces cannot show weakness. deploying supplies.”

Yuan Shu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Yuan Shao would give him such a relaxed and important position, and he didn't care about getting angry with him right now, so he stepped forward and accepted the order.He naturally didn't think that Yuan Shao let him stay in the rear because he saw that his troops were weak and unusable.

Yuan Shao went on to say: "Now the coalition army still needs a vanguard to go to Sishuiguan to challenge. It is best to dampen Huaxiong's spirit first and boost the morale of the army. I wonder if any of you are willing to go?"

Liu Xie glanced over, because Yanzhou was occupied by him, and five princes were missing, but Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, was added. Now there are fifteen princes in total in the camp, which are:

On the first route, Yuan Shu, the rear general and the prefect of Nanyang.On the second route, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou.On the third road, Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou.On the fourth road, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County.On the fifth road, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai.On the sixth road, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling.On the seventh road, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou.On the eighth road, Xiliang prefect Ma Teng.On the Ninth Road, Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping.On the tenth road, Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang. No.11 Road, Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, Changsha prefect. No.12 road, Yuan Shao, governor of Bohai, Marquis of Qi Township. No.13 princes of the road, Cao Cao, the lieutenant of Dianjun. No.14 princes of the road, Tian Kai, governor of Qingzhou.And the princes of the last journey, himself King Chenliu.

A total of fifteen princes, all of them bowed their heads when they heard what Yuan Shao said. Naturally, Liu Xie would not do such a thankless and thankless thing, and pretended not to hear anything.

Yuan Shao was a little embarrassed, but at this moment, Sun Jian, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, stepped forward as the history said, "Sun Jian is willing to lead his subordinates to be the vanguard of the army, to fight against Huaxiong first, and win the first victory!"

Seeing that it was the brave and invincible Sun Jian, everyone agreed loudly, which was completely different from the previous silence.

Liu Xie secretly thought that the coalition forces really seemed to be in a state of disunity, and it was difficult to accomplish anything.Suddenly I remembered the two versions in history where Sun Jian defeated Hua Xiong, but Hua Xiong defeated him in the Romance. I don't know what will happen now.After making some calculations in my heart, I also stood up and said: "General Sun is brave and brave, and he is willing to lead the army to support the rear!"

However, Liu Xie had a good plan. If Sun Jian wins a big victory, he can also earn some credits and increase his reputation;

Sun Jian didn't know what he was thinking, and said that Liu Xie was as courageous as he was, so he admired him very much, and said boldly: "With His Highness' support, Sun Jian will definitely be able to kill Hua Xiong under his horse."

Seeing the two of them, Yuan Shao settled down on his own. He never asked him as the leader from the beginning to the end. He felt a little displeased, but he also knew that now he still had to rely on the two of them as the vanguard, so he didn't want to say much. People must win.

Liu Xie and Sun Jian didn't hesitate, and immediately returned to the camp to lead the troops to Sishui Pass. Sun Jian's army went first, and Liu Xie followed behind.

"Your Highness, isn't there Yuan Gonglu who is in charge of dispatching the food and grass? Why did we go to ask for so much food and grass before we left? I don't know how much slower the marching speed is?"

Seeing that Sun Jian's army had gone away, Li Cunxiao asked anxiously.Not only him, but all the generals under Liu Xie's command looked aggrieved.They have been in Yingchuan for an unknown amount of time.Now that Liu Xie has become the vanguard support officer, they thought they could still fight Dong Zhuo's generals, but unexpectedly they fell behind Sun Jian because of the problem of food and grass.With Sun Jian's bravery, most of them will have no battles to fight.

"What do you know? Yuan Gonglu is narrow-minded. Yuan Shao's use of him to supervise the grain is a big failure. Who knows if he will trip us up in the future? We'd better be self-sufficient and careful. Besides, before the Sishui Pass, there is only If Hua Xiong and Sun Jian are not victorious, you will naturally have a chance to play. If Sun Jian wins, it will prove that this Hua Xiong is nothing more than that, and is not worth fighting for yourself."

Naturally, Liu Xie would not tell them that Yuan Shu was likely to be afraid that Sun Jian would secretly intercept the food and grass and not distribute it. Even Guo Jia and Yu Yunwen could not do such unfounded and unknown things.

The generals were told the truth by Liu Xie, so they had to march slowly in a down-to-earth manner.

But it was said that Sun Jian hurried all the way with the army under his command, and soon came to Sishui Pass.

The gates were closed, the towers were lined with flags, swords and guns were guarded, and they looked like they were ready for battle.

Sun Jian was wearing rotten silver armor, with a red cape on his head, holding an ancient ingot knife, and riding a horse with a flowery mane. He pointed at the door and yelled loudly: "Who dares to come down and fight me, Sun Jian?"

The sound was like a thunderbolt from the sky, startling the Xiliang soldiers on the city tower, and causing a burst of panic.

The person guarding the gate now is not Hua Xiong himself, but his deputy general Hu Zhen.Hu Zhen was furious after hearing this. He immediately sent someone to inform Hua Xiong and led [-] troops out of the city to fight Sun Jian.

Sun Jian saw someone leaving the customs and was about to go forward to meet him. The deputy general Cheng Pu slapped the horse with an iron in his hand and said loudly: "How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? I, Cheng Pu, will come to fight you!"

Hu Zhen was stopped by Cheng Pu and had no way to escape, so he had to fight with him.Hu Zhen was furious in his heart, and every move and style was filled with hatred, and he did it with all his strength. Although it was quite powerful, he was soon exhausted and out of breath.

Cheng Pu, on the other hand, had clever moves and kept wandering around without engaging in direct combat with him.Now seeing that he was not strong enough, he went up to him and thrust out a spear, hitting Hu Zhen's throat and stabbing him under the horse.

Sun Jian was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately swung his army forward to fight. Five thousand Xiliang soldiers were killed by him and scattered like birds.Sun Jian was about to take advantage of the situation to attack Sishui Pass, when suddenly there was a roar from inside the pass: "Hua Xiong is here, how dare the enemy general dare to act presumptuously!"
