Chapter 10 [010] Empty City Strategy
A few days later, Sun Jian and Shen Xian led their troops to Luyang to meet Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he saw the two, and immediately asked Sun Jian to be the general of the captivity, and at the same time led the history of the Yuzhou assassination. As for Shen Xian, although Yuan Shu liked her for being young and handsome, he also cared about her father Liu Yan as a royal family and a pastor of Yizhou, so he did not ask Shen Xian for a seal on his behalf, but only gave Shen Xian a lot of weapons and grain and grass while verbally praising her.
Compared with grain and grass weapons, the official position is naturally a floating cloud, Shen Xian felt that Yuan Shu was still quite good at this time, but she overturned this conclusion a few days later, because Yuan Shu asked her and Sun Jian to guard here to prevent Dong Zhuo from sending troops, and she ran back to Runan with people on the grounds of helping her two recruit grain and grass.
Shen Xian and Sun Jian looked at each other, and the two couldn't cry or laugh.
"Let's go." Sun Jian waved his hand and said indifferently: "As long as Yuan Highway can provide us with grain and grass on time, it will be fine." β
Shen Xian is not like Sun Jian who worries about her own grain and grass problems all day long, she sent troops on behalf of Yizhou, since the Yellow Turban thieves were wiped out, the Yizhou family has a great cause, and the food and grass are self-sufficient, and the food and clothing of Shen Xian's five thousand soldiers are sent from Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. It's just that Shen Xian felt that Yuan Shu was really unreliable, and everyone in the Princes' Alliance hadn't arrived yet, so he accepted Sun Jian and let Sun Jian charge in front, while he hid behind to enjoy leisure and gain fame and fortune. The style of these four worlds and three princes is really not something that ordinary people like them can understand.
"I'm not worried about this," Shen Xian raised her head and looked at the map hanging on the wall: "It's just that if we stay here to meet Dong Zhongying, will it be as a diversion or a surprise ambush?" Will there be any Allied troops to respond? When will the troops be dispatched? Where is the location? We'll have to send a messenger to inquire about this. β
Sun Jian nodded appreciatively at Shen Xian: "The virtuous nephew is reasonable, I will send a letter to Yuan Ben to ask about the relevant reasons." β
"Dad, I see that you wrote this letter in vain." Sun Ce shrugged his shoulders: "The leader of the alliance is Yuan Benchu, and Yuan Highway and Yuan Benchu have always been at odds, otherwise why wouldn't he go to Huaixian to find his brother to meet, but instead throw us in Luyang and run back to Runan by himself?" Even if we are in the same league as Yuan Highway now, then it would be strange that Yuan Ben could treat us in the first place. β
Sun Jian sighed, raised his hand and knocked on Sun Ce's head: "Stinky boy, what do you say?" β
The Sun family is different from the Yuan family, the Yuan family is the Runan Wang family, the family is big, the fourth generation and the three princes have a deep heritage, and the disciples are all over the world. And Sun Jian is just a Taishou in Changsha, there are not many soldiers and horses under his command, and there is no source of grain and grass, so he basically relies on grabbing, and he is brave in battle, but if the rear supply can't keep up, it will be over in two days.
This shows how important it was to have your own territory and a famous family at home, which was in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Sun Ce touched the place where Sun Jian had been beaten, and looked at Shen Xian quietly.
Sun Jian immediately understood what his son meant-who is not to vote, I think Yizhou is good, the country of abundance, good public security, rich in products, and relying on Jingzhou, the territory you have beaten down can border Yizhou.
Sun Ce thought it was quite reasonable, but Sun Jian only felt a toothache. For no other reason, it's Shen Xian...... Looks too small.
If the person who came to King Qin was Liu Yan, it would be difficult for Sun Jian to really lead people to defect, but Shen Xian was about the same age as his son, and let Sun Jian listen to the words of such a hairy boy, his heart was really unbalanced.
Shen Xian could probably guess what Sun Jian was thinking, she pretended not to know anything about the eyebrows and eyebrows of the Sun family's father and son, and said after a while: "What my brother said is right, but after all, everyone is a thief, and there is no reason to pinch yourself before the enemy is destroyed, I think Yuan Benchu should not be so stingy, even if there are any conflicts, they will not break out now, so don't worry about these for the time being." β
"The scout came to report, saying that Yuan Benchu led other Kwantung Army troops here, this place is only more than 100 miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, and the army is pressing, presumably Dong Zhongying can't sit still." Shen Xian pointed to the location of Hanoi on the map, turned to Sun Jian and said respectfully: "Let's see how this battle should be fought, my Yizhou army has lived in a stable place for a long time, and has only exterminated the Yellow Turban thief, and I have to rely on you uncle in the face of Dong Zhongying!" β
"Virtuous nephew is polite, no one is born to fight, just sharpen more." Sun Jian said with a smile: "If the virtuous nephew believes me, then please put our two troops together and hand them over to the commander-in-chief, how about it?" β
Shen Xian blinked: "I can't ask for it." β
So the 5,000 men under Shen Xian and the 10,000 soldiers under Sun Jian were united.
Sun Jian is very kind, he just asked the two armies to train together, if he wanted to send any task, he would notify Shen Xian first, and then Shen Xian would give orders to her own soldiers and horses, and Sun Jian treated the two armies equally, and the tasks sent were very reasonable, and he did not mean to use Shen Xian as cannon fodder to fill the battlefield.
After repairing in Luyang for a while, Sun Jian received a reply from Yuan Shao, saying that the coalition forces had decided to attack Hujiao Pass in five days, and asked Sun Jian to send troops together to respond.
After Sun Jian read the letter to Shen Xian, the two decided to leave the camp tomorrow and march towards Luoyang.
Before leaving, in order to have a sufficient supply of grain and grass, Sun Jian called Changshi Gong Qiu and sent him to Yuan Shu to urge grain and grass.
Sun Jian took a group of subordinates to set up a banquet outside the east gate of Luyang to practice public revenge, Sun Ce didn't want to join in the fun, so he ran to Shen Xian's courtyard and dragged her up to continue chatting about Zhou Yu. Before the two of them could talk a few words, suddenly a subordinate reported that they had found a large number of cavalry traces, and they were rushing towards Luyang, and they were about to reach the East City Gate!
Shen Xian was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and asked Sun Ce: "General Wentai, is he still there...... Outside the city? β
Sun Ce jumped up suddenly, he pulled Shen Xian and ran out: "My father is practicing for Mr. Gong Qiu outside the east gate today!" Come with me and get out of the city to fight! β
Dong Zhuo is here? Going to war? So fast? Shen Xian's brain flashed a lot of miscellaneous thoughts like a barrage, her heart was pounding, the whole person became a little nervous, and her palms began to break out in a cold sweat unconsciously.
"What are you doing?"
When Sun Ce dragged Shen Xian, who was out of the world, to the door, he suddenly heard a loud shout, and following the sound, Sun Ce found that the people who came were Gan Ning and Huang Gai.
The rest of Sun Jian's subordinates followed him to the banquet outside the east gate, and only Huang Gai and Han Dang stayed in the city to rectify the soldiers and horses.
Huang Gai's words woke up the stunned Shen Xian, and she grabbed Sun Ce's hand and forced him to stop: "You...... Wait a minute! β
Shen Xian took a deep breath, her brain thought quickly, and at the same time turned her head to look at Gan Ning: "Don't be impulsive yet!" How's it going? β
Huang Gai squinted his eyes at Shen Xian, and he replied in place of Gan Ning: "The scout found out that it was the cavalry of Hu Wencai, the Taishou of Dongjun, and the advance force was about eight hundred people, and it had already arrived near the east gate, and there were about eight thousand soldiers and horses on the way. It's too late to let the general into the city. β
"What do you mean it's too late!" Sun Ce said anxiously.
Shen Xian thought for a while and asked seriously, "What is General Wentai doing now?" β
Gan Ning raised his eyebrows and smiled, his face full of admiration: "General Wentai is drinking." β
"Drinking?" Sun Ce's eyes widened: "Father, he wants to-"
Shen Xian breathed a sigh of relief, she patted Sun Ce on the shoulder: "Don't worry, General Wentai has his own decision, but for the sake of safety, we still take some people to the city gate to ambush, and when we see that the situation is wrong, we will immediately go out of the city to rescue!" β
The four of them quietly came to the gate of the city with 6,000 infantry to ambush, Huang Gai and Gan Ning each led 3,000 soldiers to stand by at any time, and Shen Xian pulled Sun Ce up to the city tower, and the two found that Han Dang was here.
Han Dang nodded at Sun Ce and Shen Xian: "Lord Liu, son." β
"How's it going?" Sun Ce hid behind the doorpost and peeked down, and saw Sun Jian sitting in front of the desk holding a wine from a distance, and couldn't help but have black lines on his head, only to feel that he was stupid when he was worried before.
"It's still under control." Han Dang said calmly. He held the bow in both hands, a feather arrow on the string, and was staring intently at Sun Jian's every move, ready to release a cold arrow to save people if something was wrong.
"It's a good plan for an empty city." Shen Xian squinted at Sun Jian commanding his men and horses to retreat towards the city in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but throw herself to the ground for the five-body body that this Jiangdong tiger admired. I thought that Sun Jian was just fighting bravely, but now it seems that she is ignorant, how can she be an idle person who can force the assassination of a state and fight all the way from Changsha to Wancheng, not everyone can have this kind of calm and calm bearing in front of the ten thousand armies!
Under Sun Jian's command, all the men and horses were safely evacuated into the city, while Hu Zhen kept looking hesitantly from a short distance outside the city. In the end, when Sun Jian also walked into the city, but the city gate was still wide open and unguarded, Hu Zhen finally decided to withdraw his troops.
In Hu Zhen's opinion, the reason why Sun Jian dared to enter the city so swaggering and not close the door was because there must be heavy troops in Luyang City at this time, and as long as he approached the city gate, he would come out and beat him to pieces. So in order to preserve his strength, Hu Zhen, who came violently, was so frightened by Sun Jian that he turned around and left.

Shen Xian could only praise this: This is the legendary soldier who surrenders without a fight! Clever, really clever!
