The White Horse Raids the Three Kingdoms

"Don't dare to hide the truth from Duke Xuande, so that Duke Xuande can know about it." After a pause, Zhu Zhi continued, "To be honest, my General Sun is no longer in the tent at this time!"

"Oh?" Liu Bei frowned slightly, his eyes suddenly tightened, and asked again. "Please tell me quickly, General Sun, where is he now?"

"My general, led the soldiers and horses of our headquarters, and headed for the direction of Sishui an hour ago." Zhu Zhi replied hesitantly, seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with Liu Bei's expression, he couldn't help asking aloud. "Is there something wrong? Why is Duke Xuande's face so ugly?"

"The big thing is not good. Please send scouts as soon as possible to explore the past along the direction of General Sun. When we came, we got information on the way. Luoyang Dong Zhuo sent Hua Xiong with [-] cavalry to rush to Sishui. If it's too late, General Sun's life may be in danger!" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows, got up and said eagerly,

"What! Hua Xiong sent troops to reinforce?" Zhu Zhi's face changed suddenly, he was also shocked by the news from Liu Bei's mouth.

Concerned about the chaos, worrying about the safety of Sun Jian ahead, Zhu Zhi hurriedly sprinkled all the scouts in the army to the front line.

The relationship between him and Sun Jian is somewhat similar to the relationship between private soldiers and followers in ancient times.

The so-called private soldiers actually evolved from the disciples of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Hou Ying and Zhu Hai who ran for him when Lord Xinling stole amulets to save Zhao were all disciples.Its future and destiny are only indirectly related to the country where it is located, and are closely related to the sovereign.Therefore, when Lord Xinling disobeyed King Wei's will, Zhu and Hou were still determined to follow each other to the death.

This is the loyalty of the disciples.

For him, Sun Jian's safety is much higher than the general tactical significance.

What's more, even if all the people under his command are dead, as long as Sun Jian's life can be exchanged, it is worthwhile for Zhu Zhi!

So, after he sent out all the scouts under his command, still not satisfied, he mobilized all the cavalry, expanded the search network to the limit, and wanted to determine the movement of Sun Jian's army and the response to Hua Xiong's army. Search for clues of trends.

Hard work soon paid off.

Although this harvest is somewhat different from what Zhu Zhi Liu Bei and others expected.The scouts who had been thrown out came back, but they did not find Sun Jian's headquarters, but inadvertently brought a more terrifying news: just on the opposite bank in the direction of Sishuiguan, there were traces of a large cavalry passing through!

You know, under Sun Jian's command, there is no large number of cavalry!

Thinking about it again, the news of Hua Xiong's reinforcements came immediately.Cold sweat trickled down from Zhu Zhi's body.

There is no doubt that this unexpected cavalryman is definitely a sharp knife hanging above Sun Jian's head!

65 Fire and rain everywhere

In terms of tactical acumen, Zhu Zhi is not inferior to the world's first-class generals.

Under the influence of fighting with Sun Jian all the way, Zhu Zhi has grown into a veteran general who is familiar with the art of war. After listening to the simple reports of his scouts, he quickly combined with the information provided by Liu Bei. reacted.

Military emergency!

Zhu Zhi clearly knew that according to the clues he had now, everything, for the lord Sun Jian, the seriousness of the crisis of the situation!

[-] elite soldiers, or [-] elite cavalry led by the enemy's fierce general Hua Xiong, in this kind of Central Plains war, the threat they can pose is too great.

Especially, when the army led by Sun Jian opened the door wide open without knowing anything!

Send troops for reinforcements!

Reinforcements must be sent!

The first thought that floated in Zhu Zhi's mind was to gather soldiers immediately to support Sun Jian who might be surrounded by dumpling stuffing at any time.

However, in the next moment, his duties as a general and the quality of a civil servant made him calm down quickly, and his mind quickly analyzed the strength he could gather at the moment.

Sun Jian took away the main force of [-] Jiangdong soldiers in his expedition this time, and now they are assigned to Zhu Zhi, and there are actually not many soldiers left behind to guard the camp.

When including the cooks and cooking soldiers of the whole army, it is only less than five thousand.

Even with the addition of the [-] reinforcements brought by Liu Bei today, the total number of people in the entire army is less than [-], and there are still a considerable number of non-combat personnel. The real combat power is definitely not able to withstand the attack of [-] cavalry. charge.

"It seems... I can only try to contact the local powerful family..." Zhu Zhi frowned, pondered for a moment, sighed, and came to the desk in the tent to write quickly, ready to write to them. Dong's local aristocratic family sent a letter of assistance.

What is the concept of a powerful family?

Even in the period of Han Wu, when the imperial power was at its peak, these aristocratic families and tyrants occupied one side of the world unrelentingly.

Afterwards, the imperial power became weak, and even the imperial court had to look sideways at these powerful families and respect them.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the concept of aristocratic and powerful families has already moved closer to the princes.

The powerful family of the big family is a veritable prince, while the powerful family of the small family is attached to the prince and plays a pivotal role in the prince's shogunate.

The most typical example is Cao Cao. This person was only a mere school lieutenant at the earliest, but now he has tens of thousands of troops, and he is among the princes in the discussion of Dong Xiwen.

Relying on the Cao family and Xiahou family behind him!

But now, Zhu Zhi intends to seek help from the Yingchuan family - the Xun family, the Chen family, and the Wei family in Hedong!

"Mr. Xuande, today my lord is in an ambush in fear ahead, and please ask Mr. Xuande to help." Zhu Zhi, who was anxious and anxious in his heart, got up and bowed to Liu Bei after writing the letter of appeal for help.

You must know that Xu Rong, the guard of Sishui Pass, is not a simple guy. His carefully selected camping site is perfectly at the key point, and Sun Jian's troops, who know nothing about the Xiliang Army's movements, can Hua Xiong's accident was not included in the plan.

Once Sun Jian led the army to attack the Sishuiguan camp to no avail, and Hua Xiong's army suddenly rushed out...it would be really bad!

It is conceivable that at that time, losing mobility and being trapped in a narrow place, the [-] Jiangdong troops led by Sun Jian will soon face a two-pronged attack.

You must know that the strength of any of the two groups of Xiliang elite soldiers is not inferior to that of Jiangdong elite soldiers, and even surpasses them.

After all, this is a land battle, and Sun Jian's Jiangdong soldiers are more inclined to water battles.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not good, and the more he thought about it, the more worried Zhu Zhi was sweating profusely. The saying that the situation was serious was too optimistic. To be precise, the catastrophe was at hand!

Because he didn't know when Sun Jian's army would launch an attack.

Even in the best case, due to the limitation of communication means, it is difficult for the two groups of soldiers to arrive at the same time due to the limitation of communication methods in this era. optimism.

After all, the advantage of the flanking attack between the two armies is still very obvious. Usually, whichever army arrives first will attack first. Anyway, under normal circumstances, the reinforcements of the same team will arrive at about the same time.

Attacking first, it may have the effect of a surprise attack.

The anxious Zhu Zhi entrusted Liu Bei with the cavalry of the entire camp, and asked him to rescue Sun Jian first, while he quickly summoned the infantry to prepare for the follow-up rescue.

Soon, the entire camp was in operation.

I hope... I can make it in time~!

My lord~ you have to persevere...

Zhu Zhi couldn't help looking up at the sky, his eyes were full of worry.

······

It was nearly three o'clock, and the severe cold of the autumn night was as pervasive as mercury pouring down the ground. Through the armor on his body, it penetrated into his body bit by bit, trying to drive out all the heat.

However, this was not the reason why Sun Jian felt trembling. What brought him this unprecedented feeling was the palpitations for no reason.
