In 190 AD, the first year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo wrote to the emperor to change the name of the year "Chu Ping", taking the meaning of the world just calm. However, the irony is that the world is not calm, in the first month, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao deceived the three princes of Beijing to transfer the book to the state and county, Chen Dongzhuo was guilty, Yun saw persecution, and there was no way to save himself, hoping for volunteers and relieving the country's troubles.

Later generals Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao Eleven prefecture and county governors successively raised troops against Dong Zhuo.

When the news came, Sun Jian was greatly excited, accelerated his march, and finally rushed to Luyang to meet Yuan Shu. Han Xuan smacked his tongue again and again when he heard this, and said to himself: "Shouldn't it be the princes of the Eighteenth Road to ask for Dong, how can it be the Eleventh Road, plus Cao Cao and Sun Jian, who were the first to raise troops, are only thirteen families." They still stationed their troops in different places, and they did not meet on the periphery of Luoyang as stated in "Romance". ”

Han Xuan was a little disappointed, after all, romance is just romance, and there will be no classic scenes of warm wine and Huaxiong and Sanying fighting Lu Bu. It's a pity, it's a pity, Han Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

Luyang, Yuan Shu military camp. Sun Jian took Han Xuan and others into the big tent of the Chinese army, and a white-faced general wearing iron armor stroked his beard and walked towards Sun Jian with a smile: "Haha, Wentai can be regarded as coming." This time to discuss Dong, with the help of Wentai, Dong Zhuo will not be destroyed! ”

This person is Yuan Shu, Sun Jian bowed to him and said: "General Hou, Jianxing volunteers are fighting for the country to eliminate thieves, but Jian's reputation is not as good as that of the general." I hope that the general will form an alliance with Zai Xia to fight against the national thief Dong Zhuo! ”

Yuan Shu instructed the servants to sit down with Sun Jian, Han Xuan and others, and after sitting down, Yuan Shu said slowly: "Dong Zhuo arrogantly abolishes the establishment and kills the queen mother, which is really a national thief. My Yuan family is the fourth generation and the third duke, and I am favored by the emperor in the world, and it is my duty to eliminate thieves for the country. Today, I have formed an alliance with Wentai to fight against the national thieves. ”

All the generals in the audience applauded, and Sun Jian said: "Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi worked for Dong Thief, and he has been punished by me. Please lead Nanyang Taishou and go south to take over Nanyang County. ”

Yuan Shu's face was overjoyed, and he slapped the table and laughed: "Okay! Wentai Fang Zhi sent me such a big gift, and I should return it. I will send someone to show you as the general of the captives, and also lead the history of the assassination of Yuzhou. ”

Sun Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed to Yuan Shu: "Thank you, General!" ”

Yuan Shu led his men and horses south to occupy the counties of Nanyang, while Sun Jian and Han Xuan led a large army to rest in Luyang. Han Xuan sent Cao Xuan to lead people to inquire about the news of all parties, the situation is changing rapidly, and intelligence is the most important.

In February, Dong Zhuo saw that the army of the Kwantung princes was very strong and posed a threat to Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu sent 30,000 soldiers to defeat the Baibo army in Hedong, and decided to move the capital to Chang'an. Before moving the capital, Dong Zhuo sent Li Rulu to kill the deposed emperor Hongnong King Liu Bian, and discussed with the ministers to send a large army against the Kwantung princes' army, but was dissuaded by Zheng Tai, Dong Zhuo sent Liu Biao to serve as the assassin of Jingzhou, and sent Gongsun Du to serve as the Taishou of Liaodong, so as to contain the anti-Dong forces.

After listening to the information from Cao Xing, Han Xuan asked: "Jingzhou is now a mess of porridge, can Liu Biao serve as the assassin of Jingzhou, can he take office smoothly?" ”

Cao Xing said: "Wu people Su Dai led Changsha Taishou, Bei Yu led Huarong County Magistrate, each according to the militia and hegemony in the local area, Liu Biao could not take office directly. This Liu Biao is also a strange person, and he went to Jingzhou anonymously and alone before he was appointed. After Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, he entered Yicheng on a single horse and conspired with Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, a native of Lu County, Yanzhong, and Cai Mao, a native of Xiangyang. The more prosperous the Jiangnan Sect Thief Mountain is, Liu Biao discussed it from the people of Nanjun to lure the thief head to the banquet, and beheaded the more handsome fifteen people from the Sect Thief Mountain. Learned and merged with the people, and then told the county and county, and recruited the thief Shanyue. The more the thief mountain feared its might, they all raised troops and surrendered. ”

Han Xuan couldn't help but sigh: "This Liu Biao is really a fierce man, and he has set Jingzhou on a single ride!" ”

Cao Xing said again: "Jiangxia water thieves Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng supported the crowd to defend Xiangyang, and Liu Biao sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to ride alone to surrender them. When the county magistrate of Jingzhou heard that Liu Biaowei was famous, most of them took off their seals and fled. At this point, Liu Biao controlled the seven counties of Jingzhou except Nanyang County, and managed the troops in Xiangyang to observe the changes of time. ”

When Han Xuan heard Zhang Hu's name, he didn't expect that he would actually revive himself after being defeated by himself, and surrendered to Liu Biao, and he suddenly changed from a thief to an official soldier. Han Xuan asked again, "Zijian, who is this Su Dai?" He actually dared to lead Changsha Taishou by himself, what a thief. ”

Cao Xing replied: "This Su Dynasty is a powerful man in Wu County, with thousands of soldiers, and he once assisted Cao Cao in quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion. After Sun Jian and his lord led the army north, he took the opportunity to lead his men to occupy the county seat of Changsha. ”

Han Xuan sneered: "It's really that the tiger is not at home, and the monkey is called the king." You immediately send someone to take a fast boat back to Luo County by water, and let Du Xi and Dong Ping defend it strictly. If Su Dai dares to attack, he will attack him head-on! ”

After Cao Xing went down, Han Xuan came to Sun Jian's big tent. Sun Jian also sent scouts to inquire about the news, and one person stepped forward to report: "After the performance of the Jingzhou Assassin History, the general Yuan Shu is the Taishou of Nanyang. ”

Han Xuanxin said that this Liu Biao is really not as mediocre as in Romance, but very skillful. In this way, he neither offended Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, nor helped them crusade against Dong Zhuo, took a neutral position, and sat firmly in Jingzhou to watch the tiger fight.

Sun Jian prepared to march to attack Dong Zhuo, but Yuan Shu's grain and grass had not arrived for a long time. Sun Jian sent Changshi Gongqiu to lead the troops to urge the army to produce food, and he gathered officials and subordinates outside the east gate of Luyang City, set up a tent to drink, and sent Gong Qiucheng off. Suddenly, a scout came to report: "Dong Zhuo sent tens of thousands of cavalry to attack!" ”

"What, tens of thousands of cavalry?" Cheng Pu and other generals were shocked, and the civil officials were even more frightened and panicked. This Dong Zhuo sat on the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and sent tens of thousands of cavalry at his beckon. There were so many cavalry that even Sun Jian was a little panicked, most of the troops they led were infantry, plus Han Xuan's thousand cavalry, there were only a few thousand cavalry.

Sun Jian pretended to be calm and asked, "Who is the leading general?" ”

The scout replied: "The subordinates saw the word 'Hu' written on the banner from afar, and its momentum was so great that the subordinates did not dare to approach. ”

Sun Jian said to himself: "It should be Dong Zhuo's general Hu Zhen, this person should not be underestimated!" ”

Sun Jian was just about to let everyone retreat into the city, when the patrol soldiers came to report: "Hu Zhen's advance cavalry has arrived!" ”

Everyone immediately made a mess, and Han Xuan hurriedly said to Sun Jian: "The situation is critical, and we can't panic." Please Mrs. Sun to guard everyone, the art of war is virtual and real, we will continue to drink and have fun, Hu Zhen will think that we have ambushes and dare not attack. ”

Sun Jian nodded when he heard this: "What Han County Ling saw is slightly the same as this general. ”

Sun Jian immediately said to everyone: "Don't panic, we will continue to drink and have fun." Zu Mao, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai strictly ordered the subordinates not to act rashly, and those who violated the order were beheaded! ”

The three generals received the order in unison: "Obey the general's order!" He took the token and went down to give the order.

Everyone gradually stopped the commotion, and Hu Zhen led a large number of cavalry to the front of Sun Jian's camp, seeing Sun Jian, Han Xuan and others talking and laughing freely, not afraid of his army at all. Hu Zhen ordered the sentry to go closer to inspect, and several sentry looked at the soldiers in front of the camp in disbelief, and they all guarded their posts with calm faces.

Hu Zhen turned sideways and asked a Kansai fierce general next to him, who was eight feet long, with a tiger's body and a wolf's waist, and a leopard's head and ape arms: "Huaxiong, what do you think?" At this point in our army, Sun Jian and the others ignored it and drank and had fun here. ”

Hua Xiong crossed the iron knife in his hand, looked at Sun Jian's camp, and replied: "General, Sun Jian will set up an ambush outside the city, and he and everyone are drinking and having fun here to lure the general to lead the army over, so that the ambush soldiers can ambush us and others." ”

Hu Zhen squinted at Sun Jian and the others: "Wait for the rear army to follow, my army will arrive, see if it retreats or not." If Sun Jian flees in a panic, a certain elite cavalry will chase after him, and Sun Jian's head will be beheaded! ”

After waiting for a while, more than 10,000 cavalry of Hu Zhen's army rushed up, only to see that Sun Jian and Han Xuan calmly ordered the soldiers to pack up, and the whole army retreated into the city in order, but no one escaped.

Hu Zhen smiled at Hua Xiong and said, "Sun Jian's troops retreated so neatly, there must be an ambush. It's a pity that the general saw through it, so he withdrew into the city. There must be a large army in the city in ambush, Hua Xiong, strictly ordered the generals not to pursue! ”
