Chapter 174 Sun Jianfa Liu Biao
But said that Nanyang Yuan Shu, hearing that Yuan Shaoxin had won Jizhou, sent an envoy to ask for a thousand horses. Yuan Shao didn't get along, and the two brothers, who had a gap, became more and more discordant. Yuan Shu also heard that Liu Biao in Jingzhou had stabilized, and sent an envoy to Jingzhou to borrow 200,000 yuan of grain from Liu Biao. Liu Biao is not brain-dead, how could he lend it to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was rejected again and again, and he was extremely angry. So, Yuan Shu secretly sent his subordinates to send a letter to Sun Jian, asking him to crusade against Liu Biao.
His letter said: "The former Liu Biao intercepted the road, which was my brother's original plan. At the beginning of this year, he had a private discussion with the table to attack Jiangdong. The public can quickly raise troops to attack Liu Biao, I take the original for the public, and the two revenges can be avenged. Take Jingzhou, I take Jizhou, don't make a mistake!"
After sending the letter, Yuan Shu set off from Wancheng, the administrative office of Nanyang, and passed through Yuzhou.
On that day, one of the eighteen princes of Yuzhou, the assassin Shi Kong Ling, had already died, and it was rumored that he was killed by Li Xuan, and it was also said that he died of illness, but no one knew. Dong Zhuo appointed a number of assassins, but most of them raised troops to attack him, so that the imperial court did not continue to appoint Yuzhou assassins. Subsequently, Sun Jian led the history of the assassination of Yuzhou, the imperial court did not object, and no one objected to the history of the assassination of the states, after all, Sun Jian was a tiger general, who would provoke him?
Although Sun Jian led the history of Yuzhou, Sun Jian had no time to manage, and Yuzhou was equivalent to a borderless land. Yuan Shu passed through Yuzhou, and naturally there was no obstruction.
However, when Yuan Shu passed through Yuzhou and came to Yanzhou, he was stopped by Cao Cao, the new Taishou of Dongjun. On that day, it was Yuan Shao who expressed Cao Cao as the Taishou of Dongjun, and Cao Cao owed Yuan Shao a favor, so he naturally wanted to repay it. The two armies have been holding each other for more than a month, and the grain and grass have been stretched. Yuan Shu also didn't want to waste his troops on Cao Cao. Therefore, Yuan Shu led the troops back to Nanyang. However, because of Cao Cao's obstruction, Yuan Shu hated Cao Cao deeply and vowed to avenge today's revenge sooner or later.
Yuan Shu did not withdraw from the army, and Sun Jian of Jiangdong received a letter from Yuan Shu, but he was already ready to move.
Sun Jian scoffed at the reason for Yuan Shu's letter, he knew that Yuan Shu wanted to seize Jizhou. However, this has nothing to do with Sun Jian. At the beginning, Liu Biao blocked his way back to Jiangdong, and he had to take revenge sooner or later, and this time when Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Yuan Shao, he attacked Liu Biao.
So, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others discussed under the tent.
Everyone discouraged it, Yuan Shu was a treacherous person, and he couldn't be convinced. Moreover, Liu Biao's Jingzhou land has been stabilized, and if he rashly sends troops, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous.
Sun Jian didn't listen, so he sent Huang Gai to the river to arrange warships first, load more weapons, grain and grass, load the big ships with war horses, and Ke Rixing Division. Jiang Zhong made a detailed investigation and reported to Liu Biao. The table was shocked, and the civil and military soldiers were urgently gathered to discuss. Kuai Liang said: "Don't worry. It can make Huang Zu's troops lead Jiangxia soldiers as the forerunner, and the lord leads Jingxiang's people to help. Sun Jian came across the river and the lake, and An can use force?"
Huang Zufu was a crossbowman on the riverside, and when he saw the boat on the shore, he fired arrows in chaos. Sun Jian ordered the troops not to move lightly, and let the soldiers lie in the boat to and fro to lure, and for three days in a row, the warships approached the shore dozens of times. Huang Zu only cared about releasing the arrows, and within a few days, the arrows were exhausted. Sun Jian ordered the sergeant to pull out the arrows from the ship, about 100,000. On this day, when the wind was tailwinding, Sun Jian ordered 10,000 archers to shoot volleys in turn, and Huang Zu's army could not resist on the shore, so he had to order a retreat. Sun Jianjun landed on the shore, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai divided their troops into two routes, and went straight to Huangzu's camp. Behind the scenes, Han Dang killed again, and Huang Zu was defeated, so he had to give up Fancheng and retreat to Dengcheng. Sun Jian led Huang Gai to defend the warship and personally led his troops to pursue Huang Zu.
Huang Zu was already short-tempered, otherwise Cao Cao originally sent the arrogant You Heng to Liu Biao, and Liu Biao because You Heng was a celebrity, although he was angry, it was not easy to kill him, and finally sent him to Huang Zu. As a result, Huang Zu was furious and killed You Heng. Therefore, Huang Zu, who had already been beaten by Sun Jian and abandoned his armor, saw that Sun Jian was chasing so tightly like chasing the water dogs, his temper rushed up again, gave up the advantage of the city wall, and led his troops to set up a good formation in the field, wanting to fight with Sun Jian.
Sun Jian led the army to kill, thinking that he would have to fight a difficult battle, but he didn't expect Huang Zu to abandon the city and fight, could it be that Huang Zu's reputation as his Sun Jian was false?
At that moment, Sun Jian ordered the soldiers to line up in formation, and Sun Jian pulled out from the banner of the Chinese army. Sun Ce was also fully draped, standing on Sun Jian's side with a gun. Now that she is on the battlefield, it is extremely dangerous, Sun Jian naturally will not take Sun Shangxiang with her, let her follow Huang Gai around, and guard the warship.
Huang Zu led two generals to fight, and the two were fierce generals under his command, one was Zhang Hu, who Huang Zu received in Jiangxia, and the other was Chen Sheng of Xiangyang. Huang Zu raised his whip and scolded: "Jiangdong rats, dare to invade the realm of the Han clan, today I will teach you to bury the army commander here." ”
"Liu Jingsheng stopped me for no reason that day, if this revenge is not avenged, how can he dominate the world. ”
"Rats, how dare you say that you dominate the world! Today, my Jingzhou territory is the place where you are buried, hurry up and accept your life!" Huang Zu sneered, and then ordered Zhang Hu to fight.
Without Sun Jian's order, Han Dang wielded a big knife behind his back and slapped his horse into battle.
The two horses intersected, and the big knife in Han Dang's hand flew up and down, playing tiger and tiger. Zhang Hu used a spear, and he had only fought with Han Dang for twenty rounds, and he already felt that his arm was sore, but there were signs of failure.
Chen Sheng behind Huang Zu, both of whom are generals under Huang Zu, have a strong relationship. At this time, seeing that Zhang Hu had been defeated, he immediately couldn't care about anything else, and Pegasus came to help.
Sun Ce's eyes were sharp, and he immediately discovered Chen Sheng's actions. Without saying a word, he pressed his hand to grab it, took out the three-stone bow behind his back, and shot it with an arrow. Chen Sheng was bent on rescuing Zhang Hu, and when he heard the sound of the bow and arrow breaking through the air, he wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
When Sun Jianjun saw Sun Ce's archery technique, he immediately cheered loudly.
When Zhang Hu saw Chen Sheng fall to the ground, he already had the intention of retreating, and when he heard Sun Jianjun's cry, he was even more panicked, and he was caught off guard, so he stabbed Han Dang in the head, half of his head was cut off, and his brain was splashed with blood. Huang Zu looked frightened, but Sun Jian did not hesitate at all, and waved his hand to march when the morale of Huang Zu's army plummeted. Cheng Pu saw that Han Dang beheaded Zhang Hu, and he was not to be outdone, and Pegasus came to capture Huang Zu.
When the soldiers under Huang Zu's command saw that Sun Jian's general was so brave, they had long been cold and had no will to fight. Without waiting for Huang Zu's order, he had already abandoned his weapons and fled. Huang Zu rode on a horse, the target was conspicuous, and Cheng Pu chased closely. At this time, Huang Zu made a quick decision, abandoned his helmet, armor, and war horse, and fled for his life in the infantry army.
In the end, Huang Zu finally managed to escape.
In this battle, Huang Zu was killed because he had no courage at all, and he no longer had the courage to fight against Sun Jian. At that moment, he gathered the defeated soldiers and came to see Liu Biao, bluntly saying that Sun Jian was unstoppable, and Liu Biao hurriedly invited Kuai Liang to discuss.
Kuai Liang is a representative of the Kuai family, one of the wang clans in Jingzhou South County, when Liu Biao took office as the assassin of Jingzhou, it was to obey Kuai Liang's strategy, so that Jingzhou could be pacified in less than a year. This makes Jingzhou the most stable state in the world, and it is also the richest state. The reason why it is said to be the richest is because Jingzhou is stable, and many families and businessmen have moved to Jingzhou to live, and the Zhuge family is one of them.
Kuai Liang was not panicked, and calmly said: "General Huang Zu is newly defeated, and the morale of the soldiers is low, so you can't fight against him." Just a deep ditch and a high base to avoid its edge. Sun Jianjun came from Jiangdong, and it was difficult for grain and grass to support it for a long time. At the same time, adults can send a letter to Yuan Shao to send troops to rescue, and Sun Jian will retreat. ”
"Humph!"
The man in armor on the side snorted coldly with disdain, and said mockingly: "Zirou's words are really to grow the morale of others and destroy their own prestige." Sun Jian's army is approaching the city, how can we be captured? Although I, Cai Mao, am not a brave person, I am not afraid of Sun Jian's horseman. My lord, my subordinates are willing to ask for their lives to fight, and they will sacrifice Sun Jian's head in front of my lord. ”
The person who spoke out was Cai Mao.
Cai Mao is also a representative of the Cai family, one of the Xiangyang Wang clans in Jingzhou, and the Cai family and the Kuai family have always been incompatible. Therefore, Cai Mao naturally stood up against Kuailiang's strategy.
Moreover, Cai Mao's words seemed modest on the surface, but the expression on his face was extremely proud. Cai Mao has always felt that he is the strongest one in the land of Jingzhou. Even, Cai Mao felt that if he was allowed to fight, he could fight with Lu Bu, who was known as the god of war by the world.
At the same time, Cai Mao is his wife's younger brother, and if Cai Mao can defeat Sun Jian and show his talents, others will not say that he is nepotism.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Liu Biao decided to face Sun Jian. Cai Mao led an army of 10,000 and set up camp in Xiangyang to meet Sun Jian.
Sun Jian led the victorious army and marched all the way from Dengcheng. ordered the logistics miscellaneous soldiers to set up camp and bury the pot to make rice, while Sun Jian led more than 10,000 soldiers to Cai Mao Village to call for battle. has already found out Cai Mao's identity, Sun Jian asked loudly: "Cai Mao is the brother of Liu Biao's wife, who will take him down for me." ”
"Lord, the last general is willing to take down Cai Mao!"
"General, subordinates, please fight!"
Cheng Pu and Sun Ce stood up at the same time, Deng Cheng fought, and Han Dang beheaded Zhang Hu, the general under Huang Zu. Cheng Pu wanted to take Huang Zu and compare with Han Dang, but he let Huang Zu run away. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and when I saw Cai Mao fighting at this time, I eagerly asked to fight.
Sun Ce went to war, not to make meritorious contributions, but to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Sun Jian glanced at Sun Ce lightly, although he was pleased with Sun Ce's bravery. However, there is a trace of regret in my heart, as the master of the people, it is good to have the determination to kill the enemy on the battlefield. However, it would be wrong to blindly risk your own life. On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, if there is an accident as the commander-in-chief, wouldn't it be the annihilation of the army.
"Demou, don't disappoint me!"
Cheng Pu excitedly received the order and slapped the horse away.
When Cai Mao saw Cheng Pu, he held his own bravery, and did not let the generals under his command go out, and personally wielded a lance to fight. Cheng Pu used an iron spine spear, and both of them were long weapons, so I was afraid that it would be a dragon fight.
It's a pity that Cai Mao thinks he is strong, and after fighting with Cheng Pu for a few rounds, he has already been defeated.
Cai Mao was frightened, resolutely turned the horse's head, and fled to his army. Sun Jian saw the opportunity and waved his army to attack. The Jingzhou soldiers were still brave and wanted to fight Sun resolutely, but Cai Mao was frightened and fled for his life, so he just ordered the withdrawal of the army. As a result, with two different attitudes, the 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers were killed by Sun Jian. In the end, Cai Mao fled into Xiangyang, but there were only 5,000 men left, and he was a good wolf.
Cai Mao came to Liu Biao to ask for guilt, and Kuai Liang stepped forward and said: "My lord, Cai Mao didn't listen to good policies, but he was defeated, and more than 5,000 soldiers were killed, which frustrated the morale of our army. ”
Cai Mao is on the line of life and death, but I don't know how Liu Biaodang decides.
