Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 506
Jia Xu listened to his words and fell into deep thought.

After leaving this place, he immediately went to Dong Zhuo's camp. Dong Zhuo was sitting in front of the desk, looking at something. When he saw Jia Xu walking in, he was also a little puzzled. Jia Xu didn't say much, and sat down in front of him. Said: "Mr. Dong, get ready to attack. In a few days, we will send troops to Guishuang! Rescue those arrested merchants!"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed. He had waited for so long on this day, but Jia Xu said: "In addition, I also gave an order to General Sun. His army will arrive soon. At that time, Dong Zhuo will take the lead." You are commander in chief, and the northern and southern armies will attack together." Before Jia Xu finished speaking, Dong Zhuo impatiently interrupted him and asked, "Why do we need the northern and southern armies for such a trivial matter? The northern army is enough!"

Jia Xu also knew why Dong Zhuo said that. In the temple, there was only one Sun Jian who could compete with Dong Zhuo for the position of Taiwei. Regarding the crusade against Guishuang, Dong Zhuo didn't want Sun Jian to participate at all.

"Dong Gong, we have never fought Guishuang face-to-face, and we cannot underestimate each other. When General Sun arrives, Dong Gong will attack and rescue the merchants in one fell swoop. At that time, Dong Gong will be a Taiwei, and General Sun will be Subordinates, it is also a good thing for Dong Gong to make friends with his subordinates in advance."

When Dong Zhuo heard it, he felt that what he said was not bad, so he smiled and said, "So, that's also good!"

Ever since, the whole army began to prepare for the attack, and everyone knew in their hearts that the army was finally going to be sent. Dong Zhuo didn't hide it, and told them directly that when Sun Jian came, the army would go to Guishuang, and the captured big man All the merchants were rescued, and when they learned that the Southern Army was coming, the generals had different expressions, and some were angry, thinking that they were coming to steal military exploits.

Some were also delighted, feeling that this victory was even greater.

There are also some nonsense, saying that Sun Jian came this time to commend him, because he beheaded the leader of the Guishuang rebel army and wanted to give him the position of Zhonghou of the Southern Army.

This nonsense brother was quickly called to the camp by Dong Zhuo.

"You bastard! Do you know how much trouble you got into?!"

"Originally, those people came to surrender. I made an agreement with Jia Xu to attack Guishuang through him. In the end, I was beheaded by you! The strategy was broken. I didn't kill you. I tried my best. You saved you by scaring Jia Xu, but you still don’t repent?!" Dong Zhuo said, getting anxious, he went up and kicked Hua Xiong over, picked up the copybook on the ground, and went after him.

"If you cause me trouble again, I will beat you to death!!"

On this day, Hua Xiong was carried out of Dong Zhuo's camp by the soldiers.

After waiting for three or four days, Sun Jian led the army to come. Unlike Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian was still young and strong, and he did not arrange a forward. He rode a fast horse and walked at the forefront of the whole army. The generals paid homage to him one after another. Although they also had disagreements with the Southern Army, they still respected this general who was able to recruit and fight well.

Dong Zhuo didn't go to greet him personally, but asked Huang Zhong to take him back to the camp.

Cao Cao arranged for many Southern Army soldiers to settle down and rest up.

Sun Jian led several confidant generals under his command and walked into the camp. Dong Zhuo sat on the chief seat, and Jia Xu sat on the left. Seeing Sun Jian entering, everyone got up one after another. Sun Jian saluted Dong Zhuo and called on the Taiwei. Dong Zhuo smiled, stepped forward, took Sun Jian's hand, and let him sit beside him. There were also many generals in the camp, all of whom came to welcome Sun Jian.

Sun Jian sat down, Cao Cao on the side nodded to him, and Sun Jian also smiled.

Dong Zhuo said: "For such a long march, Wentai must have suffered a lot!"

"Oh, this Western Region is really weird. When we first entered the Western Region, it was still snowing heavily. We were all dressed in cotton-padded clothes, wrapped in thick clothes. As soon as we walked to Luntai, it was extremely hot again. This desert, Gobi, it's really hard to walk, let alone a soldier, even I can hardly bear it." Sun Jian shook his head and complained.

Dong Zhuo laughed, and everyone laughed too. Sun Jian's true temperament made these rough military men very fond of it. After chatting for a while, Dong Zhuo began to introduce, "This is Cao Cao, General Zhengxi, whose name is Meng. De!"

"Here, Huang Zhong, Marquis of the Northern Army, you have known each other for a long time, right?"

"That one, Guan Yu, captain of Shesheng, whose name is Changsheng"

"Xu Huang, Lieutenant of Changshui."

"Captain Zhechong Qu Yi."

After introducing the people around him, Dong Zhuo looked at Sun Jian, and Sun Jian also pointed to the generals on the seat, and said, "That one, Fenwu Colonel Ma Chao, whose name is Mengqi", a general who looked like a Qiang stood up and walked towards him. See you all.

"Xu Chu, Lieutenant of Dangkou School, styled Zhongkang."

The man stood up, and everyone was dumbfounded. This man is really tall, eight feet long, ten girth around the waist, and has a majestic appearance. Even standing there, people feel frightened. The appearance of this man makes Dong Zhuo Thinking of the school captain Dian Wei who was far away in the east, this man's body was the same as Dian Wei's, which was really rare, everyone was secretly surprised, and this man also bowed his hands to see him.

Sun Jian looked at the young general standing at the end, and said with a smile, "That Zhuzi is the Sima of the Vanguard Army. His name is Sun Ce, and his name is Bofu."

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo looked at the young man, Sun Ce was very handsome, saluted everyone, then looked at Huang Zhong, and said, "Uncle how is it?" Huang Zhong then remembered him, Sun Jian's eldest son?They are all so big now, if my son is still here, maybe Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, but he still came to his senses and said with a smile: "Bofu is so big! I almost didn't recognize it!!"

Everyone was surprised at once, Sun Jian said with a smile, "This is also my eldest son."

Everyone heard this and nodded their heads, but their faces were full of disdain. They didn't expect that Sun Jian was actually a good confidant. He appointed his son as the vanguard Sima. His son was not half the age of Xu Chu and could fight. what?It's just nonsense!
Dong Zhuo didn't say much, nodded, looked at Sun Jian, and said: "Wentai, you should know about this kind of expedition. I will give you three days to rest and repair the whole army. After three days, I will wait to set off." , how are you?"

Sun Jian nodded and said, "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Dong."

After the matter was settled, the banquet began. Everyone laughed and chatted happily. Only Sun Jian looked a little hesitant. He really wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He came over and asked in a low voice, "Wentai, what's the matter?"

"Dong Gong, there is something, I don't know if I should ask it or not?"

"Just ask"

"Who is that sitting in the distance with a gauze wrapped around his head and drinking wine with a smirk all the time?"

"Oh? Him? What, he was rude to you?"

"No, it's just that Mr. Dong didn't introduce him. I'm curious. I want to make some friends."

"It's okay, don't ask too much, he's a fool, you don't want to make friends with him"

Dong Zhuo shook his head and said.

The army began to repair again, and the time was very clear. Three days later, the battle would begin. Therefore, during this period of time, the food of the soldiers changed, and the soldiers were very happy. The Guishuang people put it in their eyes. After two defeats, in their minds, the Guishuang people have become soldiers who can move around.

On the second day, Gongsun Zan, who was active in Guishuang, returned to the camp with the soldiers of the brave camp.

When Gongsun Zan returned to Daying, Dong Zhuo called Jia Xu, Sun Jian, Huang Zhong, and Cao Cao to discuss together. Gongsun Zan was still panting, took out several scrolls from his sleeve, put them on the case, and held them one by one. After spreading out, everyone gathered around. Gongsun Zan pointed to the mark on the paper and said, "Starting from here, there are mountains and forests in these three areas, and there are wild beasts in the forests here. The other two do not."

"This is a valley, you can spy on the surroundings very well. It is about ten miles away from here"

"There are nine counties in Malacanda. It is said to be a county, but in fact only one can be counted as a city with a tall city wall. The rest are like villages and are not fortified. The number of soldiers in the city is not yet clear. There are more than 6000 people who are changing defenses on their heads.”

"Here, here, here, there are four places in total. There are enemy camps, and here are the most soldiers. However, they seem to be unfamiliar with this place, and they may be foreigners. The other three are very familiar with the place, but their combat effectiveness They are not strong, they don’t have cavalry yet, and they have strong bows, and the shooting range of bows and arrows is very far, similar to ours.”

"There is a river here, which flows directly to the big river, and the big river is in the north."

"This is farmland, and you can ambush here. These four villages don't like the Guishuang army. They may be directly under the original Malacanda princes."

"The city has been stormed, and on the left, there are gaps that haven't been repaired."

"The total number of soldiers in Malacanda may have reached nearly 5. However, they did not march together. There was no commander. The coalition formed by the princes of different regions, the most powerful one, is likely to be the army directly under King Guishuang."

Gongsun Zan kept talking, and everyone was dumbfounded.

How did you find out these messages? ?

Looking at the scrolls piled up on the copybooks, they all felt as if they were going to fight on their own land. Following Gongsun Zan's explanation, Malacanda gradually took shape in their minds and became more and more familiar. Everyone's eyes widened. , sometimes looking at Gongsun Zan, sometimes looking at each other.

"By the way, there are also generals guarding the main road in the south, who seem to be unwell."

"Captain Gongsun." Sun Jian finally couldn't help interrupting him. Gongsun Zan raised his head, looked at Sun Jian, and asked, "General? What are your orders?"

"You talked about the terrain before, and I also believed it. It's just that the general is unwell. How did you know?"

"Oh, I don't know, the general. This man chased our army with light cavalry all the way...for nearly eight days. Finally, I led the soldiers across the river and destroyed the bridge. He couldn't get over. He fell to the ground spurting blood and fell off his horse. After that, I took people there to harass him, but no soldiers chased after him. From this, it can be inferred that the general must still be lying on the sickbed... the army’s morale is shaken.”

Sun Jian gave Gongsun Zan a deep look and nodded.

"Please Captain continue to explain"

When Gongsun Zan finished speaking and walked out, no one could slow down.

"Mr. Dong"

"Wentai? What's wrong?"

"Ahem, our army is not as numerous as the Northern Army, nor is it as elite as the Northern Army. I want Captain Gongsun to lead the army to help the Southern Army. I don't know how?"

"Hehehe Captain Gongsun is the scout of the whole army and cannot be transferred outside."
