Sun Jian soon learned the news that Wu Yi and Zhang Ren had come to ask for help.

He was not calm at that time.

Sun Jian fought fiercely with the Xiliang army for more than half a year. Although he won more and lost less, he never found a chance to completely defeat the Xiliang army.

He was born as a warrior and had always been competitive. Sun Jian's heart was always unhappy after Hu Zhen and Lu Bu were defeated.

Liu Qi had no feelings about this, but Sun Jian was different.

In his opinion, the heads of Hu Zhen and Lu Bu were too important.

Hu Zhen was the military commander of Liangzhou appointed by Dong Zhuo himself. He was a representative figure among the generals in Liangzhou.

Lu Bu is the supreme commander of the Bingzhou Army.

If I could defeat these two people in one battle, what kind of honor would it be for a warrior leading an army?

From a military perspective, Sun Jian's strategy has no problems at all.

The war is not about favors, it is about human lives.

Use the least loss in exchange for final victory. This is war!

Just then, Sun Jian received the reward of his scouts. The Xiliang Army stormed Liang County, but the Yizhou Army could not defend it and lost its troops and generals. Under the leadership of Jia Long and Yan Yan, they were heading towards Cang'ao Yi Village, five miles east of Liang County.

.

Things turned out just as Sun Jian had imagined. The Chu-era fortified village was built in a valley. To enter the village from the mouth of the valley, a canyon passage about thirty feet wide was required. There was no vegetation in it, which was the best for the Yizhou army.

barrier.

Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army is currently stationed on the plains leading from Liang County to Yangren. It is obvious that they are guarding against the Sun and Liu coalition forces in Yangren County.

Sun Jian estimated that once the Yizhou Army entered Cang'ao, it would be relatively difficult to completely annihilate them with the Xiliang Army in Hu Zhen's hands, and a strong attack would take a long time.

Just wait two more hours... No!

Even if it only takes one more hour for Lu Bu to confirm that his side will not pose a threat and turn around to assist Hu Zhen in attacking the other camp, that will be the best opportunity for the Sun and Liu coalition forces in Yangren City to attack.

In Sun Jian's opinion, Liu Qi is his best ally if he wants to win this time.

Through the last battle, Sun Jian could feel that although the Jingzhou Army's combat power was not as good as his own, it was not bad, and it was making rapid progress.

Even Liu Qi's performance on the battlefield was rapid, and Sun Jian secretly saw it.

But once Liu Qi sends troops, Lu Bu will immediately notify Hu Zhen. The Yizhou Army has been saved, but it is very likely that our side will be subject to a strong counterattack by the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army.

Isn't this stupid?

Thinking of this, Sun Jian stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Whoever comes, hurry up and call Demou and Gongfu to come!"

…

After a while, Sima Chengpu and Huang Gai from other departments arrived.

Sun Jian had finished dressing up at this moment. He was wearing a black armor suit and a sword at his waist. He was about to run out the door with an angry look on his face.

Seeing Sun Jian's appearance, Cheng Pu couldn't help but turn pale in shock and hurriedly said: "Junhou, what are you doing?"

Sun Jian said coldly: "You two, hurry up and ask the soldiers to follow me to Liu Qi's side. If he really sends troops, Sun will use force to stop him!"

Cheng Pu's face turned pale with fright.

As a close confidant of Sun Jian, he naturally knew that Sun Jian had a fiery personality and that he could do what he said.

How could he not stop it?

"Your Majesty, please calm down. We must not do anything evil with Liu Qi and others. Not to mention what Yuan Gong has explained beforehand, even Huang Zhong, Wenpin, Li Dian and others are not easy to deal with."

generation."

Sun Jian was choked up when he heard this.

Huang Gai also stepped forward and said: "Last year, the prince was instigated by Yuan Shu and killed Zhang Zi in a fit of anger. All the prominent families in Nanyang County regarded the prince as their enemy, so they could only rely on Yuan Shu to avoid trouble! Now Liu Qi is in charge of both.

The responsibility of protecting the emperor has a great reputation, which is even greater than that of Zhang Zi. If the emperor takes action against him, wouldn't he put himself in the same situation as Dong Zhuo?"

Sun Jian shook his head and sighed: "How can I not know what you two are talking about? Sun is not trying to do anything to him, he just wants to block him for an hour or two. As long as this is delayed, Sun will understand

Go with him to Liang County to rescue the Yizhou soldiers."

Cheng Pu advised: "Even if this is the case, you should not bring too many soldiers, for fear of causing trouble."

"That's all! If you don't bring troops, you won't."

Sun Jian said bitterly: "You two will go with me to persuade me!"

…

Sun Jian and others hurried to where Liu Qi was.

When he arrived at Liu Qi's residence, he saw that Liu Qi had already put on his armor. He led Huang Zhong, Li Dian and others out, and ordered them to order the generals.

Wu Yi and Zhang Ren were also by the side.

Sun Jian looked from a distance and saw Liu Qi's frivolous steps, pale face, lowered his head and kept coughing.

Why does it feel like his illness is getting worse?

Seeing Sun Jian coming from a distance, Liu Qi couldn't help but reveal a smile, but quickly moved away.

Sun Jian strode up to Liu Qi and said to him, "Master Liu, what are you doing?"

Liu Qi weakly waved to the rear: "Wu Sima, led by Captain Zhang, come and see Marquis Wucheng."

Wu Yi and Zhang Ren stepped forward: "I have met the king."

"Yeah." Sun Jian just responded lightly without looking at them.

Liu Qi hoarsely said to Sun Jian: "Your Majesty, Lord Jia of Yizhou sent Wu Sima and Captain Zhang to lead a bloody breakout to ask for help. They are now trapped in Dazhai in the east of Liang County and are in critical condition. Liu Qi cares about his colleagues and wants to

I'm going to save him, but I'm afraid I can't support him with one arm, so I ask you to help me, so that we can fight against the bandit army together."

Sun Jian took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and said in a low voice: "The Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army have a large number of cavalry. If we rashly leave the county and fight with them on the plains, won't the soldiers of the three armies be completely defeated? This is

There is no way to defeat!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Liu Qi coughed hard.

Sun Jian saw Liu Qi's coughing look a little scary. He was startled for a moment, but he still said: "How come your illness is getting worse and worse? If you go out of the city with an illness like this, not to mention that you can't save the people of Yizhou, it will be your own life."

, we will all die at the hands of the Xiliang army! Go back and rest soon, don’t mess around!"

After Liu Qi finished coughing, he shook his head gently and said: "The Yizhou Army is my ally. Even if he dies, I have to save him. If Sun Junhou doesn't go, Liu Qi will go on his own..."

After that, he was about to go around Sun Jian, but Sun Jian suddenly stopped him.

"Sun is the leader in all matters involving Yang people! If you want to send troops, you have to wait until I find out the news!"

These words are a bit cruel, don't they put themselves above the Jingzhou Army?

All the military academies of the Jingzhou Army were quite dissatisfied.

Huang Zhong said loudly: "Sun Junhou, please be careful what you say!"

Li Dian also said: "We, the men of Jingchu, are not under the command of the public!"

Sun Jian was fearless and said: "Don't you all want to die in vain? If you go like this, I'm afraid not one of you will come back..."

After hearing Sun Jian's words, Liu Qi's eyes suddenly widened and his breathing became rapid without even realizing it.

Sun Jian panicked a little when he saw Liu Qi's appearance.

This way, why does it seem like you are giving up?

Sun didn't say anything too cruel. Isn't this all for the people of Jingchu?

"Mr. Liu, why are you..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Qi's body suddenly went limp.

"Master!"

Huang Zhong, Zhang Yun and others rushed forward to help Liu Qi.

As soon as Zhang Yung helped Liu Qi, he felt his palm being pinched hard.

Zhang Yun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liu Qi who had her eyes closed tightly, and suddenly felt blessed.

I see.

Before others could figure out what was going on, Zhang Yun hurriedly helped Liu Qi up and shouted loudly: "Come here! Go and call the military doctor quickly!"

"only!"

He looked at Li Dian again and said, "Mancheng quickly asks Mr. Yidu and Caisima to take charge of the overall situation!"

Li Dian nodded and turned around.

When Wu Yi saw this, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.

He hurriedly stepped forward and asked Zhang Yundao: "Zhang Sima, Master, what's wrong with him... If something happens to this Master, how can he send troops?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yun shouted at him: "Go away! Don't bother me here. If anything happens to you, I will fight with you until death!"
