Fancheng Mansion!

"Second brother, now, Huang Zu has retreated south of Hanshui, and we are already at odds with Liu Biao in Jingzhou. As Jing saw, the second brother could repair a letter and send it to Liu Biao, so as to ease the relationship between the two families. ”

"Moreover, the immediate priority is to return to Changsha County as soon as possible. In Jing's humble opinion, we can no longer go south through Xiangyang, and the army can make a detour to Jiangxia County and return to Changsha. ”

Sun Jing bowed to Sun Jian and said with a solemn face.

"The third uncle's words are wrong!"

Sun Ben disagreed, and said with a loud smile: "Right now, our army is in full swing and its morale is like a rainbow, and we should wave our troops to cross the Han River in the south and attack Jingzhou Prefecture to govern Xiangyang." If you get Xiangyang, Sun's hegemony can be achieved! ”

"Lord!"

Huang Gai saluted Sun Jian and said loudly: "Liu Biao doesn't understand military strategy, and Jingzhou has no generals!" Now, the enemy army has returned from a great defeat, and the people's hearts are unstable. The subordinates thought that what the prince of Boyang said was very true, and our army should wave its troops into Xiangyang! ”

"The subordinates seconded the public reply!"

Han Dang took over the conversation and said loudly.

"After this battle, our army has only more than 4,000 people left. Moreover, there are no siege equipment in the army, so how can they attack Xiangyang City? ”

Cheng Pu had already made up his mind, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, and admonished in a deep voice: "Lord! Youtai is the best! The army should make a detour to Jiangxia as soon as possible...... Return to Changsha! ”

Sun Jian is good at using troops, and he knows in his heart that if he can't destroy the enemy in the field, Xiangyang City will never be captured. However, Sun Ben's words not only have some truth, but also the temptation of Xiangyang City's fat is too great.

"What you say, each has a point!"

After a long time, Sun Jian made a final decision: "The army crossed the Han River in the south and tried to attack Xiangyang City for several days, if it can't win, our army will retreat south to Changsha!" ”

"Second Brother ......"

"I have made up my mind, and the third brother Hugh will persuade me again!"

Before Sun Jing could persuade him, Sun Jian waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send an order to the army, prepare to cross the Han River in the south!" ”

Sun Ben walked out of the mansion with an excited face and went to prepare. Sun Jing and Cheng Pu were unwilling to give gifts and retired. Huang Gai and Han Dang didn't think deeply, and they also followed out of the mansion!

Sun Jian took out the heirloom jade seal, and muttered to himself while swaying: "If the destiny of heaven is really in the Sun family, please help me Sun Jian!" ”

……

Besides, Huang Zu escaped from Fancheng with hundreds of people, crossed the Han River all the way south, and then passed through Deng County and came to Xiangyang City.

When Liu Biao learned the news of Huang Zu's defeat, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly sent Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue to discuss countermeasures.

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue suggested that Liu Biao should send a man who can speak well to make peace with Sun Jian, and let Sun Jian's troops pass through Xiangyang and go south to Changsha.

Huang Zu immediately refuted Erkuai, said to Liu Biao, and led his troops out of Xiangyang to fight a decisive battle with Sun Jian's army. Perhaps because of the humiliation of defeat, or perhaps for other reasons, Liu Biao adopted Huang Zu's proposal.

On the same day, Liu Biao sent Huang Zu to Yicheng, Zhonglu, Yeguo and other places in Nanjun to mobilize soldiers.

On the tenth day of December 188, Sun Jian's troops crossed the Han River, passed through Deng County, and came to the east gate of Xiangyang City.

"Dong Zhuo is causing trouble to the dynasty and harming the world! Liu Jingsheng! As a descendant of Gaozu, you don't think about supporting the foundation of your ancestors, you don't think about Your Majesty's Longen, but you collude with Dong Thief and fight in Xiangyang City! ”

"On another day, after you return to Jiuquan, what face do you have to go to see the ancestors of the Han Dynasty?"

"This time, I, Sun Jian, led my troops south, just to return to Changsha. What is your intention Liu Jingsheng to disregard the feelings of your colleagues and send troops to stop me? ”

Sun Jian galloped to the city, whipped Liu Biao, and scolded sharply.

"Sun Wentai! You first stole the artifact of the kingdom! Now they are besieging my Xiangyang City. You are clearly ill-intentioned and vainly trying to occupy the magpie's nest! ”

In just an instant, Liu Biao's face was already red and ashamed. Liu Biao forcibly stabilized his mind and retorted with insufficient confidence.

"Liu Jingsheng! If you surrender in Kaesong, I, Sun Wentai, will not treat you badly. If not, when Xiangyang City is broken, it will be the day when you Liu Jingsheng will be in a different place! ”

Today's Sun Jian, who no longer has the slightest weakness, immediately took out the pine pattern ancient ingot knife, pointed at Liu Biao, and said in a deep voice.

"Who killed Sun Jian's thief in me?"

Liu Biao was full of hatred and anger, and immediately roared angrily.

"Lord!"

Huo Jun immediately stepped forward, gave a salute, and said loudly: "This is Sun Jian's plan to lure the enemy!" We only need to hold on, and in a few days, Sun Jian will lead his troops to leave. At that time, the lord can lead the elite soldiers to attack and kill again, and he will definitely be able to make some gains! ”

"Zhong Miao is really a rat!"

Liu Biao, who lost his mind, had no usual elegance, and scolded without words: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use no one!" How shameless are you? ”

Huo Jun's face was as usual, and Shi Li retreated!

Regarding Huo Jun's words, Kuai Yue thought so, and was about to step forward to admonish. Kuai Liang hurriedly pulled it and shook his head secretly!

Liu Pan also agreed with Huo Jun's proposal, and seeing his uncle so depressed, he had to lead his troops out of the city.

The two armies were under the city of Xiangyang, and the melee lasted for half an hour, Liu Pan was defeated by Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, and the Jingzhou soldiers were even more defeated by the bravery of Sun Jian's army, and they were defeated and retreated back to Xiangyang City.

Liu Biao had no choice but to hold on. Sun Jian's army lacked siege equipment, and it was impossible to attack the city. The two armies are in a stalemate!

On December 14, Huang Zu mobilized an army of 8,000 and returned to the south gate of Xiangyang City. At this time, Sun Jian's army was only 3,300 people left! Sun Jing and Cheng Pu once again suggested that Sun Jian withdraw his troops, and Sun Jian agreed.

At the end of the day, when Sun Jian's army withdrew, Huang Zu led his troops to kill. In the face of several times the enemy army, Sun Jian had no fear and led his troops out of battle.

After three quarters of an hour of melee between the two armies, Huang Zu retreated from the east gate of Xiangyang City to the north gate, and then retreated all the way to Deng County in the north.

Sun Jian didn't listen to Sun Jing and Cheng Pu's proposal to 'accept it when it is good', and went straight forward, leading his troops to chase and kill all the way.

When Sun Jian's troops came to Deng County, they happened to see Huang Zu's rout and fled into a bamboo forest.

Sun Jian was angry, and immediately rode into the bamboo forest. Sun Jing, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai were shocked, and hurriedly rushed forward.

I could only hear the screams one after another.

When you look at it again, the arrows in the bamboo forest are like flying locusts and rain; Sun Jian's soldiers were killed by arrows, and hundreds of people were killed.

What made everyone even more heartbroken was that Sun Jian had already fallen from his horse and fell to the ground, with seven or eight arrows stuck in his chest.

"Second brother! Second brother ......"

Sun Jing rushed to Sun Jian with tears in her eyes.

"Lord...... Lord ......"

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang screamed and roared, and rushed forward.

"Uncle!"

Sun Ben was also shocked, shouting and clapping his horse and rushing away.

"Second brother! If you hold on a little longer, the third brother will take you back to Changsha! ”

Sun Jing turned over and dismounted, immediately knelt on the ground, grabbed Sun Jian's hand, tears rained down, and shouted in a choked voice.

"Third brother...... Don't ...... Sadness! This is providential! ”

Sun Jian tried his best, reached out and wiped the tears on Sun Jing's face, and said intermittently: "Boyang, Demou...... Remain! The public is recalled, and the righteous is gone...... Stop the enemy! ”

"Lord...... Take care! ”

Huang Gai and Han Dang knelt on the ground, crying and praying several times, and then reluctantly got on the horse.
