Chapter 276

"Old scoundrel Dong Zhuo! You said you would send reinforcements later, why did your troops arrive so late?!"

Sun Jian, who had been rescued by Su Li, upon returning to the Han army camp and seeing Dong Zhuo, glared with wide eyes.

He didn't care about face at all, and directly started cursing.

Dong Zhuo had pitted him to death this time; from now on, the two were completely enemies, and it would be a fight to the death.

Sun Jian's four great generals, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu, were also all seriously injured.

They shared the same hatred as Sun Jian, and looked at Dong Zhuo and the others with swords drawn and bows bent.

Seeing Sun Jian, who looked like an angry lion, Dong Zhuo still felt somewhat guilty inside.

After all, he, Dong Zhuo, was in the wrong first.

"General of Chariots and Cavalry, Dong Zhuo has the heart of a wolf, deliberately pitting us; he should be executed!"

Sun Jian drew his Ancient Ingot Saber, the saber light cold and sharp.

After the fierce battle, there was still dried blood on the spiritual weapon, the Ancient Ingot Saber.

This time, Sun Jian no longer cared about the weak and incompetent Zhang Wen, and the Ancient Ingot Saber slashed fiercely towards Dong Zhuo, just wanting to chop Dong Zhuo down with one blow!

This battle had buried how many Jianghuai sons; Sun Jian naturally wanted to seek justice for their soldiers and slaughter Dong Zhuo!

However, it was also at this time.

A black-gold long saber blocked Dong Zhuo, stopping the saber light slashed by Sun Jian!

Hua Xiong, with a burly figure and muscles all over his body, held a black-gold long saber in both hands, blocking Sun Jian.

Both were generals close to being peerless, and in terms of strength, they were almost evenly matched; the aura they erupted directly crushed the Han army's camp!

Boom!

The camp made a loud noise, actually falling apart because of the aura of the two.

"So strong!"

Whether it was Hua Xiong or Sun Jian, as soon as the two came into contact, they clearly sensed that both sides were evenly matched.

Sun Jian gnashed his teeth.

With a general like Hua Xiong protecting Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian could not kill him.

Li Ru's gaze was cold, and he seemed to be brewing some kind of secret technique.

Once Sun Jian really took action, and it became a fight to the death, Li Ru, this strategist, would definitely not stand by and watch.

The sound of weapons clashing rang out, and Dong Zhuo's subordinate generals, Li Jue, Guo Si, and others, all drew their weapons, pointing them directly at Sun Jian.

On Sun Jian's side, the four generals Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Zu Mao also pointed their blades at Dong Zhuo and the others.

As long as Sun Jian gave the order, they would not hesitate to go to war with Dong Zhuo and the others.

Sun Jian and Hua Xiong were still secretly competing; the aura of both sides covered several miles, and all the Han army soldiers nearby looked at Sun Jian and Hua Xiong in shock.

"I, Hua Xiong, have never encountered a formidable enemy like you, but you cannot kill me!"

Hua Xiong admitted that Sun Jian was a formidable enemy.

But if the two really fought, who would win and who would lose remained to be seen.

Sun Jian's face showed unwillingness: "You scoundrels, deliberately pitting us; I, Wentai, swear to kill you all!"

That was what he said, but Sun Jian was fundamentally unable to break through Hua Xiong's obstruction.

If they continued to stalemate like this, it would be of no use.

Li Ru stood out and said: "General Sun, you and my lord serve in the same court, how can you fight among yourselves?"

"And it is not that my lord was unwilling to save you, but he was contained by the rebels, so there was some delay!"

Well, the rebels were a very good object to take the blame.

After all, the rebels were powerful, and no one could be sure if they had intercepted Dong Zhuo and the others.

Sun Jian could not call the rebel leader Beigong Beigong Boyu over to confront them, could he?

"You... you..."

Sun Jian was immediately so angry that he was speechless.

"Brother Wentai, let's just forget it for today, and keep it in mind, and settle the score with Dong Zhuo later."

Su Li carefully calculated the current combat power; even with him added, Sun Jian and the others might not necessarily be able to kill Dong Zhuo and the others.

After all, Dong Zhuo's strength was not bad, and Dong Zhuo's strategist Li Ru was also unfathomable.

And Dong Zhuo had elite troops like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Northern Army Five Schools.

If the two sides really fought, it would only end in both sides suffering heavy losses.

By then.

This campaign to suppress the rebels could be considered a failure.

This was a situation Su Li absolutely did not want to see.

Sun Jian was still in the heat of anger, but he could listen to Su Li's words and calmed down slightly.

Indeed, whether it was personal martial strength or troop numbers, they were currently unable to kill Dong Zhuo, who had already become a climate.

"We are returning to camp!"

Sun Jian weighed the situation and finally withdrew the Ancient Ingot Saber, and together with Su Li, led their respective troops to stand in separate camps from Dong Zhuo.

"If Wentai does not die, he will definitely become a great threat to me in the future."

Dong Zhuo saw Sun Jian raging, with an attitude that he must kill him, so he looked at him coldly.

Sun Jian had a group of fierce generals under his command; if they really fought to the death, even if they couldn't kill him.

It would definitely make him suffer heavy losses.

Hua Xiong immediately stood out and said sternly: "My lord, do not worry; with this subordinate here, people like Sun Jian will not be able to hurt my lord in the slightest!"

Li Ru also said at this time: "As long as the suppression of the rebels ends, my lord's status in the imperial court can go up another level, and Sun Jian will not be able to move you in the slightest!"

"I will endure Sun Jian for a while longer."

Dong Zhuo nodded, suddenly feeling that he was still missing a fierce general who could suppress the world.

Although Hua Xiong was fierce, his martial strength was only comparable to Sun Jian's, and in terms of troop command ability, he was far inferior.

If this continued, it would not do.

It seemed he needed to find an absolutely fierce general, a fierce general who could awe the world.

Dong Zhuo told Li Ru about this idea.

And let Li Ru think of a way.

Li Ru pondered for a while and said: "There is a man in Bingzhou named Lu Bu! He is a peerless fierce general of the world!"

"If my lord can get Lu Bu's help, you can dominate the world."

Dong Zhuo immediately became interested: "Li Li Wenyou, since you know there is such a fierce general, why don't you recruit him for me, to help me accomplish great things sooner?"

"My lord, you do not know that this person has been adopted as a foster son by the Bingzhou hero Ding Yuan; if you want to make him defect to my lord's command! You need some means!"

"For example, high official positions and salaries, divine weapons and fine steeds!"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately waved his hand: "High official positions and salaries are easy to talk about, but if divine weapons and fine steeds are needed, how should I satisfy that?"

"Li Li Wenyou does know of a place where a divine Red Hare horse has appeared; perhaps my lord can find a way to obtain it."

"After defeating the Liangzhou rebels, when my lord is promoted, you can go and subdue the Red Hare horse, and subdue Lu Bu."

Hearing Li Ru say this, Dong Zhuo regained his confidence, and his ambition expanded again.

His command already had fierce generals like clouds; if he could add another peerless fierce general of the world, he would have the capital to contend for the Central Plains.
