Verse 226: On the reward of meritorious deeds

After Sun Jian finished explaining, he gathered his generals, planned a strategy, and dispatched troops, but in a month, Sun Jian defeated Qu Xing thirty miles outside the city, killed 4,000 enemies, and captured more than 1,000.

At this time, Zhou Dynasty, Guo Shi and others also revolted in the Lingling and Guiyang areas, echoing Qu Xing from afar and strengthening each other's momentum.

The three sides are distributed in a zigzag shape, one is attacked, and the other two sides will immediately rush to help, this formation is the simplest formation, and it is also a very practical formation.

Generally, attacking this formation is to press each other with heavy troops and crush the opponent with numerical superiority, but Sun Jian only has 2,000 personal soldiers in his hands, and Qu Xing, Zhou Chao, and Guo Shi have nearly 20,000 men and horses, a ratio of one to ten, this seems to be an impossible battle to win.

At this time, several people in Sun Jian's tent were sitting around the table, discussing the matter of suppressing thieves with a serious expression, when Sun Jian was young, he served as a county magistrate in three counties, and met many heroes, including four people, not only brave and brave, proficient in military strategy, but also with Sun Jian like-minded, loyal, these four people are Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zu Mao.

These four people and Sun Jian are called Junchen, they are actually brothers, and Sun Jian carefully discussed everything with the four of them before making a decision.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the enemy is ten times larger than mine, we should win like this!"

As soon as Sun Jian finished asking, Huang Gai, who had the most hot temper, shouted: "Since I have been with the lord, I have never retreated from the enemy, and now the generations of Qu Xing are all rabble, what are you afraid of, in the end, I will set up the whole army for the lord and slaughter the thieves!" ”

Although the rest of the people also agreed with Huang Gai's opinion, they were not as reckless as Huang Gai.

Cheng Pu, who had a calm face, then said: "It's just that how to fight each other still needs to be discussed carefully!" ”

Sun Jian nodded: "What Demou said is very true, there is a plan, you can see if it is feasible!" ”

The five of them buried their heads in deliberation and deliberated for a night, and then dispersed.

The next day, Sun Jian led his army slowly with great fanfare, approaching the nearest Zhou Dynasty troops.

As soon as Sun Jian moved, Qu Xing and Guo Shi immediately sent people to find out the battle situation, and when they found out that Sun Jian's main force was indeed attacking the Zhou Dynasty, the two immediately sent reinforcements to move closer to the Zhou Dynasty's camp.

Sun Jian's temperament is like fire, so he is good to wear red clothes, especially the red curtain on his head, which can be said to be Sun Jian's unique symbol.

But today, Sun Jian surprisingly took off his iconic red clothes and put on a more concealed indigo robe.

The fiery red armor was now being put on the body of Zu Mao, who was the most similar in shape, and Zu Mao led 1,900 personal soldiers, set up a formation, and slowly marched towards the Zhou Dynasty camp.

And Sun Jian was taking the carefully selected 100 men and horses, ambushed in the mountains and forests more than ten miles outside Quxing's camp, when watching the reinforcements sent by Quxing gradually move away, Sun Jian roared angrily: "Make meritorious contributions, at this time!" ”

After that, Sun Jian held the ancient ingot knife horizontally, rode a flower-maned horse, and rushed to the camp of Ou Xing first.

Although Sun Jian only has a hundred people, they are all the elite of the elite, and the coach is so brave, the soldiers are even more unstoppable, and for a while the shouts shook the sky, rushing towards the district star camp.

At this time, it was midnight, most of the people in the camp had already fallen asleep, and only a few patrolling soldiers were hiding listlessly in the corners and napping, and suddenly a shout of killing startled these soldiers, and they opened their sleepy eyes and looked around in horror, but before they could see where they were, they had been cut down to the ground.

Sun Jian's ancient ingot knife slashed three people in a row, and he was bloodied and killed with a hundred guards to the depths of the district star camp.

At this time, Ou Xingzheng ran out of the tent in a panic in disheveled clothes, scanning the dim but shouting of the dark night.

"What's going on!" Ou Xing straightened his helmet and shouted loudly.

But at this time, who else has the time to answer Ou Xing.

Ou Xing pulled over a soldier who was fleeing to his side, and asked sharply, "Say, what happened!" ”

"Will ...... General, there is an enemy...... Enemy attack! ”

Seeing the scared appearance of the pawn, Ou Xing was furious, pulled out the sword in his waist, and killed the incoherent pawn with one sword.

Ou Xing is also a strong party, if he has no ability to be the commander of this army, after Ou Xing killed the pawn, he shouted: "Quickly form a formation, if there is a trespasser, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

It seems that Ou Xing's method is somewhat useful, and some soldiers who were still flustered and helpless, seeing Ou Xing's words, have organized one after another, forming some small-scale effective resistance.

Sun Jian saw these in his eyes and was a little worried, you must know that the most important thing in a sneak attack is to surprise and gain the upper hand in momentum.

Now under the leadership of Ou Xing, the thief army is slowly beginning to stop an effective counterattack, and in the long run, his 100 people will inevitably end up in the annihilation of the entire army.

Therefore, Sun Jian must reinvigorate his morale so that he can win this sneak attack battle perfectly.

Sun Jian looked at the sword wielding the commanding Ou Xing, rushed forward with a tiger step, and shouted: "Ou Xing thief, Jiangdong Sun Wentai is here, die quickly!" ”

"Stop him, stop him!"

Ou Xing hurriedly ordered the surrounding soldiers to block Sun Jian who rushed over, but who is Sun Jian, Jiangdong Tiger, which can these pawns stop.

The ancient ingot knife slashed left and right, and in the blink of an eye, several pawns were slashed to the ground, leaving only Ou Xing less than ten steps away from Sun Jian.

Now it's either you die, or I forget, don't fight at this time, let alone when, Ou Xingyi gritted his teeth, covered his sword and rushed towards Sun Jian to kill him.

Qu Xing holds the heart of jade burning, but Jiangdong Tiger is easy.

Looking at Qu Xing's hideous appearance, Sun Jian smiled coldly and slowly put the ancient ingot knife in his hand across his chest.

Just when Qu Xing rushed ten steps away, Sun Jian was angry and roared, and the ancient ingot knife suddenly turned into a knife shadow and faced Qu Xing.

"When~~~~" the two blades intersected, making a piercing and sharp sound.

I saw Qu Xing staggering back a few steps, swinging his knife and pestle to stabilize his body, but Sun Jian was standing still, his face was full of murderous intent, and the cold blade pointed directly at Qu Xing with a shocked face.

"Who are you, I attack Changsha, what do I have to do with you!" Qu Xing saw that the hard battle could not be achieved, so he wanted to say it.

Sun Jian looked at Qu Xing with disdain, and replied loudly: "Sun Jian of Wu County, I am a Han Chen, you are a Han thief, what is nothing!" ”

Sun Jian said a word, leaving Qu Xing speechless, Mu was there.

"Qu thief, you should die here today, don't make noise again!"

Sun Jian's deep roar woke Qu Xing up from Mu Ran.

No matter how ordinary a person is, when he encounters the threat of death, he can burst out with several times the strength of usual, let alone a thief's first song star?

Qu Xing watched the ancient ingot knife in Sun Jian's hand getting closer and closer, and suddenly roared loudly, the green tendons of the hand holding the handle of the knife burst out, and the big knife swung out a piece of sand and threw it at Sun Jian.

This sudden change caught Sun Jian a little off guard, and in a hurry, Sun Jian held a horizontal knife in front of his face, bowing his head to avoid the flying sand.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qu Xing burst out and strode forward with a knife to slash at Sun Jian.

Sun Jian hurriedly raised his knife to resist, and the huge force from the blade of the knife pressed Sun Jian's knees slightly bent, as if he was overwhelmed.

This Qu Xing seems to have suddenly changed a person, and the power of this knife is several times greater than just now.

Sun Jian didn't dare to underestimate the enemy anymore, and when he saw Qu Xing's door wide open, he immediately flew out and kicked Qu Xing's chest.

With a crisp cracking sound, Qu Xing spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body floated backwards like a dead leaf.

The sternum was shattered, and this fatal injury made Qu Xing instantly weak and unable to move, so he had to hook his eyes and watch Sun Jian walk step by step.

Sun Jian gasped and slowly walked to Qu Xing's side: "Seeing that you are also a good man, I will give you a good time!" ”

With that, Sun Jian raised the ancient ingot knife and neatly cut off Qu Xing's head.

Carrying the bloody and blurred head, Sun Jian raised his breath and shouted: "The head of the thief Qu Xing is here, you won't descend yet!" ”

One side will be killed in battle, and the result of the side where the master will die in battle may be:

First, without the backbone, the army was defeated

Second, the adjutant general immediately took over the command and directed the retreat of the army in an orderly manner

3. The whole army hated the same enemy, and vowed to avenge the main general and kill the other party to a great defeat.

Which of these three outcomes will come true depends mainly on the discipline of the team.

Qu Xing gathered 10,000 people, rebelled in a hurry, and the top ten of his subordinates were all rabble, so how could there be any discipline at all.

Qu Xing is here, or there is fear; At this moment, Qu Xing's bloody head was being pulled by Sun Jian's hand, and the thieves instantly dispersed the last bit of resistance in their hearts, and knelt down and begged: "The general spares his life, I am willing to surrender~~~"

Looking at the thieves who were kneeling and begging to surrender, Sun Jian let out a long laugh from the bottom of his heart.

Qu Xing cut his head, the thieves begged to surrender, and the news reached Luoyang in only ten days.

Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty is 14 years old, and he has a little understanding of some court affairs, and the sense of glory and responsibility of an emperor is also gradually emerging.

The thieves were rehabilitated, which made the young emperor very happy.

"Good! Good! Liu Wei read the battle report presented by Sun Jian, he was very happy, and said in a slightly immature voice: "Sun Wentai has made this great achievement, I should reward it well, what can the ministers think:"

After saying that, Liu Wei looked forward to the civil and military officials standing in the palace, but the ministers were silent, and their eyes couldn't help but fall on Guan Yan, the head of the ministers.

As the saying goes: follow the locals.

Guan Yan was no exception, and a few handfuls of beard grew up and down his originally fair lips, adding a little calmness.

The burning gaze of the ministers seemed to have no effect on Guan Yan, Guan Yan still closed his eyes and concentrated, brushing a few strokes of his beard, very leisurely, in the past, Guan Yan always hated the trouble of beards, but now that he really has it, Guan Yan really enjoys this feeling.

Young Emperor Liu Wei also seemed to realize the crux of the problem, and hurriedly bowed down slightly, and asked lightly: "Hussar general, how should this Sun Wentai be rewarded?"

The news of Sun Jian's killing of Qu Xing was obtained by Guan Yan the night before yesterday.

When he heard the name Sun Jian, Guan Yan was still shocked, the Jiangdong Tigers are very famous, not to mention that they can give birth to Sun Ce and Sun Quan, this Sun Jian must also have a few brushes, and another hero who is famous for future generations has appeared.

The appearance of the hero can no longer arouse any curiosity on Guan Yan, and there is only a growing sense of crisis.

Sun Jian, can't stay, but Sun Jian has tens of thousands of thieves with 2,000 soldiers, this name has already spread all over the world, if the news of Guan Yan's killing of Sun Jian leaks, I'm afraid that Guan Yan will immediately become the national thief pointed out by Qianfu.

If you can't kill it, then press it, after making up your mind, Guan Yan already has a general idea in his heart.

Liu Wei asked, Guan Yan hurriedly pretended to be flattered, bowed down and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, Sun Jiandang is a thief in Changsha, and he does have meritorious deeds, and according to the views of the ministers, he can award Wu Chenghou to show his merits:"

Wucheng Marquis has 500 households, and it is a rich reward, in the eyes of others, Guan Yan seems to be very enlightened, but people can understand it after a little thought: Marquis Wucheng is a title, you have no power, after the reward, Sun Jian can have more than just Lu, but he is still just a military Sima.

Whether this reward is rich or harsh, it is up to Emperor Shaodi of Han to decide.

Liu Wei frowned slightly, as if he was not very satisfied, and after thinking for a while, Liu Wei said: "I look at Sun Jian as if he is a great talent, if he is just a Wucheng Hou, will he be condescended?"

Guan Yan's face changed slightly, and he immediately returned to normal: "Your Majesty thinks that how to reward it:"

Liu Wei rubbed his chin and said: "Yangzhou seems to be not peaceful recently, I want to make it the history of Yangzhou, you can see if it is okay!" ”
