Chapter 10: Hua Xiong
"My lord, you have already drunk a lot of wine today; drinking more honey water I fear will lead to abdominal pain!"
Beside Yuan Shu, several personal guards said with concern.
Who knew that Yuan Shu, who was already drunk, would be furious upon hearing this.
"Bastard!"
"No one can stop this lord from drinking honey water!"
"Hurry up and bring the honey water to this lord!"
Seeing Yuan Shu angry, several personal guards hurriedly went to fetch the honey water.
However, they had just walked out of the camp tent when they heard a thunderous sound of hooves coming from outside the camp!
"This..."
It was already late at night, and many soldiers in the camp were already fast asleep.
Facing the sudden sound of hooves, quite a few were awakened.
But almost no one thought in the direction of an enemy raid.
Most people thought that the sound of hooves should be caused by some warlord suddenly going crazy in the middle of the night and ordering the soldiers under his command to assemble urgently.
After all.
Within the coalition, the strength of the various warlords was not the same.
Gongsun Zan of Youzhou possessed a large number of cavalry.
Han Fu and Yuan Shao of Jizhou, and Zhang Yang of Bingzhou, although their cavalry numbers could not compare to Gongsun Zan's, they were not lacking in warhorses.
Therefore, everyone just cursed and swore for a while, but did not make any preparations.
Only until the sound of hooves got closer and closer did everyone realize that something was wrong.
The first to react were Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Gongsun Zan.
As the alliance leader, Yuan Shao monitored every move in the coalition camp.
Such a large commotion outside the camp made it impossible for him to remain calm.
Cao Cao had not slept at all.
Naturally suspicious by nature, he would not completely let down his guard in a place like the coalition camp.
As a major cavalry owner in the coalition, Gongsun Zan knew that such a large commotion outside the camp was not issued by the soldiers under his command.
Therefore, doubt naturally arose in his heart.
But it was a great pity.
These three warlords were not the main targets that Hua Xiong and the Xiliang iron cavalry wanted to raid!
Well-versed in the principle of picking the soft persimmon first.
Gu Yi had targeted Yuan the Honey-Water and other small warlords from the very beginning!
And the direction Hua Xiong was charging now was precisely the camp where Yuan the Honey-Water was stationed. ===== CHAPTER 11 =====
