Chapter Thirteen Sun Jian Persuaded to Escape
Zu Mao and his men rushed towards the front army of the Han army. Now he was very anxious, and their loyalty to Sun Jian was unquestionable.
So in their hearts, Sun Jian's safety is much more important than the safety of the man. Zu Mao wished he could fly to Sun Jian's side with his ribs.
Sun Jian and Huang Gai are about to reach their limits. After all, the manpower is limited and it is impossible to be endless. They are quickly exhausted when facing the endless killing Yellow Turban thieves.
Once their physical strength is completely exhausted, it will be their death. In addition, Han Zhong and Zhao Hong and several shameless people are constantly attacking each other, Sun Jian and Huang Gai can be said to be exhausted both physically and mentally.
Huang Gai was cut by Zhao Hong just now because he was unable to react. Although Sun Jian's rescue was very timely, a deep bone-like scar was left on Huang Gai's shoulder blades.
Sun Jian and Huang Gai are still persevering, and they don’t know when they will persevere, but now they will have to give up.
Just when Sun Jian was about to give up, Zu Mao's voice suddenly came into his ears. Sun Jian's spirit was revived when he heard this voice, as if his strength had been restored again.
Huang Gaisun, who was seriously injured, fought out of the siege. Although there were still many Yellow Turban thieves on their periphery, at least it was still safe here for the time being.
When he saw Zumao bringing people to support him, Sun Jian's nose was slightly sour. He had never felt this way before, but suddenly he thought of a terrible possibility.
"Darong, why are you here? Is the rear army over? Where is Yi Gong? Why is Yi Gong not with you?"
Facing Sun Jian's question like a cannon, Zu Mao only felt a wave of warmth in his heart. He knew that his lord was caring for the old brothers.
Zu Mao quickly stopped Sun Jian and ordered his subordinates to push him up first. He held Sun Jian who was trembling and said:
"Lord, don't worry, although the righteous man was injured, he was not seriously injured. Now the rear army has won! Mr. Xu and his men can come here immediately. This time we will definitely be able to smash the conspiracy of the Yellow Turban Thieves!"
Sun Jian calmed down a little after hearing Zu Mao's words, but he still smiled bitterly and shook his head. He looked at Zu Mao and said slowly:
"Darong, you don't need to comfort me anymore! Even if Shuai Xu can bring people here, the situation is stronger than people now. There are too many Yellow Turban Thieves, so we are no match for them at all!"
"Master~"
Seeing Sun Jian's decadent performance, Zu Mao said anxiously, but whether he had finished speaking or not, Sun Jian reached out to stop him.
Sun Jian shook his hand at Zu Mao because he had guessed what the other party was going to say, and he was just to persuade him to leave quickly, as they would cut off the rear for themselves.
But now Sun Jian knew that he could never escape because he was the target of Zhao Hong and the others, and only by eliminating himself and the others could he feel at ease.
No matter which direction he escapes, Zhao Hong and the others will definitely send heavy troops to surround him. Not only will he not be able to escape by himself, but he may also implicate Zu Mao and the others.
Since I have no hope of escaping, it is better to stay and attract Zhao Hong and the others' attention. In that way, these confidant generals may be able to escape.
As long as they can escape, Sun Jian believes that his family and his descendants will be well taken care of, and with the help of these people, the Sun family will make a comeback!
So he stopped Zumao and hugged Zumao's head on his shoulders. He said softly in Zumao's ear:
"Darong, the situation has collapsed to an irreversible level now! I definitely can't leave anymore. Remember that you must take Yi Gong and Gong Gong to fight out. Ce'er and Quan'er will ask you to do so!"
After hearing Sun Jian's words, Zu Mao's tears flowed down. He knew that Sun Jian's current analysis was the most correct, and their victory in the rear army just now was a miracle.
Even if the general named Huang Zhong was really Xiang Yu's resurrection, his manpower was limited after all. If Huang Zhong hadn't defeated Tan Song just now, they would not have won that victory at all.
But the situation of the front army is completely different now. Zhao Hong and other Yellow Turban Thief Chiefs are slippery than loaches. They have not shown up at all, but just hid in the dark to command the troops to siege themselves and others.
Even Huang Zhong has no good idea. You can take the general level among all the troops, but the premise is that you must know where the enemy general is!
Now Zhao Hong and the others are hiding so fiercely. They have no chance to kill directly. Huang Zhong can only protect himself when facing such a large number of bandits.
Zu Mao understood all these principles, but deep down he was unwilling to escape just like this, and it was the life that his lord had used his life to exchange for.
He wanted to live and die with Sun Jian, but now reason told him not to do this because the eldest and second sons of the lord had not grown up yet.
The eldest son is only nine years old now, and the second son is still a two-year-old child. Without the help of his few people, the Sun family in Jiangdong would probably be in a slump!
My lord has been fighting for the Sun family all his life. If he accompanied his lord to death in battle like this, he would have fulfilled the name of loyalty and righteousness, but what should the Sun family do?
When Sun Jian saw Zu Mao's expression, he knew that Zu Mao was weighing the trade-offs now, but the current situation and crisis did not give him so much time to weigh the trade-offs at all.
Sun Jian clasped his hands and bowed to Zu Mao to the end, and then said with some sadness:
"Darong, you promise me! This time, my lord, is still begging you! "
How could Zu Mao bear to let Sun Jian do this? Sun Jian has always been a godlike figure in his heart, but now this god is begging him.
It can be seen that Sun Jian is so anxious now that Zu Mao was helpless and could only nod and agreed to Sun Jian's request. Sun Jian did not breathe a sigh of relief until Zu Mao nodded.
He pointed his hand at Huang Gai lying beside him and said to Zu Mao:
"Darong, I'll leave Gongfu and Yi Gong to you. Now they are seriously injured, but I believe you can protect them and rush out together! Wait for a while, Shuai Xu and the others will reinforce, and the Yellow Turban Thief will be in chaos. You will leave at that time!"
Sun Jian lowered his head in shame. He knew that he had sold Xu Lao and others to death with this move. This was equivalent to giving Xu Lao a staircase to pull up the room.
But now he has no other way. For his own family, he can only do this. When he gets underground, he will apologize to Xu Lao, right?
Zu Mao looked at Huang Gai who was unconscious on the ground, and then looked at Sun Jian with a shame on his face, and he couldn't help feeling even more sad.
He knew that Sun Jian was going to bear how much infamy he had to make such a decision!
