Chapter 9

The Xiliang Army would be very loyal to him from beginning to end.

Of course, such a method also had its downsides.

That was that the Xiliang Army was quite xenophobic!

Whether it was the Luoyang Imperial Guards led by Xu Rong, or the Bingzhou Army led by Lu Bu, it was difficult for them to integrate into this collective.

Internal conflicts intensified very rapidly.

Indirectly leading to the death of Dong Zhuo in the future.

However, for Gu Yi, this was actually not a problem that was too difficult to solve.

Once he gained Dong Zhuo's trust, he could take action to resolve this matter.

And now.

Gu Yi had already gained Hua Xiong's trust.

As long as this battle could be won, Hua Xiong would be his ironclad ally in the future!

Just as the sun was setting.

Hua Xiong quickly assembled twenty thousand Xiliang iron cavalry.

Proceeding to the coalition camp at the fastest speed.

Inside Sishui Pass, fifty thousand infantry were left behind, handed over to the two generals Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen to guard.

It is worth mentioning.

Although Gu Yi's horse-riding technique in his past life could not be called very proficient, he at least knew how to ride and could keep from fainting while sitting on a horse.

This saved him from quite a bit of physical jolting.

Soon, Hua Xiong and the Western Liang iron cavalry had gradually moved away from Sishui Pass.

The violent commotion naturally attracted the attention of Sun Jian, who was stationed on the upper reaches.

But Sun Jian at this moment was anxious about Yuan Shu's treachery, which had led to his soldiers being cut off from grain.

Hearing the commotion, Sun Jian was so frightened that he hurriedly commanded his soldiers to set up defenses.

But after a long while.

Until the sound of the Xiliang iron cavalry's hooves gradually moved away.

Sun Jian did not see any Xiliang army attacking.

"Could it be that this fellow Hua Xiong wants to bypass me and go straight to raid the coalition camp?"

"This is simply too bold!"

Sun Jian's brows furrowed tightly.

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and others standing beside him saw this and hurriedly proposed:

"My lord, should we take this opportunity to capture Sishui Pass?"

Hearing this, Sun Jian shook his head and said:

"Better not."

"At this moment, our army has been cut off from grain, and I fear there are still a large number of infantry guarding inside Sishui Pass."

"Forcibly attacking the pass will only waste our troops in vain."

Thinking of this, Sun Jian sighed endlessly.

If it weren't for this pit-fellow Yuan Shu suddenly cutting off the grain, the situation would definitely not have become so terrible.

But now, Sun Jian could only pray that the group of Guandong warlords in the coalition camp would be prepared for Hua Xiong's night raid.

Otherwise, I fear the losses tonight would not be small.

However, Sun Jian had ultimately overestimated the various warlords in the coalition camp.

Relying on Sun Jian holding the front line, plus the coalition's large numbers and strong force.

These warlords in the coalition camp had almost completely not thought about the need to set up defenses.

Because they simply would not have imagined that this fellow Hua Xiong would bypass Sun Jian and directly raid the coalition camp!

Among them, the forces under Yuan Shu were the most lax.

Although the forces under Yuan Shu were numerous, most of them were miscellaneous troops reorganized halfway.

Their combat power was really not presentable.

Of course, Yuan Shu was very rich!

He had to drink several bowls of honey water every day!

Sitting on Yizhou, which ranked second in the Great Han's GDP, plus the newly acquired Nanyang Commandery, how could he not be rich?

The four words "foolish and rich" were most appropriate to describe Yuan Shu.

When Hua Xiong and Gu Yi led twenty thousand Xiliang iron cavalry to arrive outside the coalition camp.

Yuan Shu had just finished a small banquet and was dead drunk.

His mouth kept shouting nonsense like "Throw him out" and "I want to drink honey water."

Regarding the impending crisis, he was completely unaware.
