The contradiction between Liu Biao and Yizhou Liu Yan's father and son has been going on for a long time. Although both parties are relatives of the Han family, there is no family affection between them. In his early years, Liu Biao made a small report on Liu Yan in the imperial court, saying that he bought people's hearts in Yizhou and plotted against him, and he was suspected of being a saint in Xihe.

It is precisely because of this incident that Liu Yan and Liu Biao have a bad relationship with each other. This time, Liu Biao took in the rebels in Yizhou, which further expanded the contradiction between Jingzhou and Yizhou.

Liu Zhang sent Zhao Wei to garrison Yu Quren, and Liu Biao sent Cai Mao to lead troops to live in Badong, and the two armies faced each other, and a big war was about to break out.

Just when the two armies of Yizhou and Jingzhou were facing each other, Yuan Shu in the north of Jingzhou also began to move.

Yuan Shu has always occupied Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, overlooking the land of Jingxiang. For Liu Biao, it is like a fish in the throat. Now Yuan Shu took advantage of the time when Jingzhou and Yizhou Chen soldiers were facing each other, and sent Ji Ling to lead the army south, the purpose of which was to want the snipe and the clam to compete with each other for the benefit of the fisherman.

Liu Biao was shocked when he learned that Yuan Shu had invaded the south. He didn't think it was much of a problem to fight with Yizhou, and it was unknown whether the two sides could fight. However, Liu Biao, who knew Yuan Shu's ambition, hurriedly sent his troops to lead Huang Zu to meet the enemy between Fancheng and Deng County. The two sides fought each other, and there was no winner after several battles.

However, to the east of Jingzhou, Zhao Wei's army was forced to act with many scruples, so Huang Zujun's army gradually fell into disadvantage against Ji Lingjun.

However, the war entered a stalemate, which made Yuan Shu's side also very bitter. Not to mention anything else, Yuan Shu marched into Jingzhou for no reason, and he fell into a moral disadvantage. The imperial court also asked him many times why he raised troops without authorization, to which Yuan Shu replied sneeringly: "Liu Zhang of Yizhou is a clan, and he can ignore the officials appointed by the imperial court and inherit his father's position, why can't I raise troops to destroy Liu Biao?" ”

After Liu Yan's death, the imperial court appointed Yingchuan Humao as the assassin of Yizhou, but was rejected by Yizhou and gave up. In fact, the imperial court never thought that it would really send Hu Mao into Yizhou, the purpose of this is to make a show, if Yizhou refuses, there will be another excuse to conquer Yizhou in the future.

Yuan Shu is sarcastic about this matter, his meaning is very clear, even the Han Dynasty clan does not take the court in their eyes, why should I abide by the rules anymore.

The court had no choice but to let this matter go. After that, the annexation wars between the princes became more and more serious.

solved the reproach of the imperial court, and the most headache for Yuan Shu was the supply problem of the war.

Yuan Shu has no internal affairs ability, and can neither open source nor throttle. The battle to Jingzhou in the south was completely based on the little accumulation of Nanyang and Runan in the past to provide supplies. This kind of behavior of sitting on the mountain and eating empty soon made Yuan Shu feel a lot of pressure.

Realizing that Liu Biao was deeply rooted in Jingzhou and it was difficult to conquer it quickly for a while, Yuan Shu gathered his subordinate generals, hoping to work together to discuss a solution.

Subordinate generals Zhang Xunqiao Rui and others have always respected Sun Jian's ability, and they all pushed Sun Jian to lead the troops to support Ji Ling.

Yuan Shu was hesitant about this.

Since the Jingzhou incident, Sun Jian has borne the guilt for him, not only has he been cut off from office, but he has also been notorious as a big man and a villain. Although Yuan Shu did not abandon him, considering his reputation on the street, he did not reuse him, but just kept him by his side for idle work.

Sun Jian's dream of glory and wealth turned into a dream bubble, and when he saw Yuan Shu treating himself like this, he was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, and he inevitably showed some bad emotions towards Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was also very unhappy when he found out. Therefore, this time the southern expedition to Jingzhou chose Ji Ling to lead the troops, rather than Sun Jian.

Yuan Shu and Sun Jian didn't expect that it was precisely because of this decision that the original historical trajectory was changed and Sun Jian picked up a life.

At this time, the war was in a stalemate, and all the generals unanimously recommended Sun Jian, who had the highest force in the Yuan Shu group, to go to support. Although Yuan Shu was reluctant in his heart, he still nodded in agreement for the sake of the overall situation.

But he only worshiped Sun Jian as a rebellious lieutenant, and Ji Ling controlled him and led the army to Fancheng to support.

Sun Jian led the troops again, and naturally swept away the decadence and was full of spirit. led the army to Fancheng non-stop, and his eldest son Sun Ce was sixteen years old and also served in the army. Sun Jian ordered him to be the vanguard and rushed to Fancheng first.

Sun Ce is handsome, cheerful, likes to joke, and is more open-minded to accept the opinions of others, good at employing people, and is very popular among the young officers in Sun Jian's army.

After arriving in Fancheng, Sun Ce did not meet Ji Ling at the first time, but quietly camped in a mountain col, and went to Huang Zu's camp with a team of guards to check the military situation.

Other scouts usually hide their whereabouts and sneak around when they listen to the military situation, but Sun Ceyi is so bold that he actually led people to hang around outside Huang Zu's camp. Completely like a tour group.

Some subordinates were worried about the danger and suggested to Sun Ce not to be so blatant in front of the enemy camp. However, Sun Ce laughed, pointed to Huang Zu's camp and said, "I don't think the soldiers and horses in the camp here are like dolphins in the pen?" ”

The crowd laughed. Their vote of people pointing and laughing outside, naturally attracted the attention of the Jingzhou army, and immediately sent a team of cavalry from the camp to rush towards them.

Sun Ce and the others turned their horses away, and the Jingzhou army followed closely. After less than ten miles, Sun Ce ordered his men to stop at a bend at the foot of a mountain, and shot wildly at the Jingzhou pursuers who turned from the bend.

The Jingzhou soldiers were caught off guard and were shot dead many people at once. The rest of the people saw that Sun Ce's army was so strong, and they didn't dare to pursue it for a while, so they let Sun Ce and them ride away.

Sun Ce returned to the barracks, and at this time Sun Jian also arrived with his troops. After the two sides converged, Sun Ce said to Sun Jian: "The soldiers of Jingzhou have been fighting for a long time, and the soldiers are tired, and our army has just arrived, and the spirit is flourishing. Father should send troops to attack Huang Zu as soon as possible. ”

Sun Jian hesitated: "Our army has few soldiers, and it may be difficult to compete with Huang Zu's army." It's better to meet up with Ji Ling and then make plans. ”

Sun Ce said: "Now that the enemy army does not know that our army is coming, it is a good time to launch a surprise attack when the enemy is clear and secret. If our army and Ji Ling converge, the enemy army is on guard, and the elite spirit of our army will be lost over time, and it will be difficult to achieve victory again. ”

Hearing this, Sun Jian nodded and agreed with Sun Ce's idea, and ordered the whole army to prepare for battle, preparing to attack the camp at night.

Sun Jian's subordinate Zhu Zhijin said: "Our army went to attack at night, if we don't inform Ji Ling, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not be blamed." ”

Sun Jian shook his head and said: "The soldiers are fast, how can they be verbose." ”

Not listening to Zhu Zhi's words, Sun Jian led his troops to the Jingzhou camp. At this moment, it was the middle of the night, the Jingzhou army was asleep and the defense was lax, and Sun Jianjun suddenly entered the camp, all of them were caught off guard, and the military camp was in chaos for a while.

Sun Ce was the first to rush into the Jingzhou camp and led people to set fire to create chaos.

In the panic, the Jingzhou soldiers did not see how many soldiers and horses were attacking the camp, but fled in all directions. Sun Ce took the opportunity to go straight into the camp of the Chinese army alone, beheaded several captains under Huang Zu's tent, came to the flagpole of the Chinese army's flag, and waved his knife to cut the yellow flag in two.

When the other soldiers saw the banner of the Chinese army, they fell to the ground with a bang, thinking that the Chinese army camp had been captured, and they were even more panicked. Huang Zu couldn't restrain the army, and was mixed with the chaotic army and retreated into Fancheng.

After the war, Sun Jianjun captured countless grains, grasses, soldiers and horses, and Sun Ce also took the limelight in this Fancheng victory and began his world-famous young hero road.

Ji Lingwen's Sun Jian attacked the Jingzhou camp at night and defeated Huang Zu, and rushed over in a hurry.

Yuan Shu ordered him to restrain Sun Jian, but Sun Jian attacked the enemy camp at night, and didn't even greet him in advance, completely ignoring him. What made Ji Ling even more jealous was that Sun Jian really defeated Huang Zu, who he couldn't even attack, which made him feel even more disgraced.

As soon as he saw Sun Jian, Ji Ling asked angrily, "Captain Sun attacked the enemy camp at night, why didn't he report it to me?" ”

Sun Jian squinted at Ji Ling, and said arrogantly: "The fighter plane is fleeting, and the last general naturally has no time to report it." ”

Sun Jian looked down on Ji Ling at all in his heart, so he naturally had no politeness to him.

In his heart, Huang Zu is not a famous general in the world, and the Jingzhou soldiers are not a strong army in the world, but the battle of the southern invasion of Jingzhou is still not able to be attacked for a long time. This battle made Ji Ling fight so disgustingly, it really made Sun Jian despise.

Seeing Sun Jian so arrogant, Ji Ling was furious. said angrily: "If you don't obey the order, you despise the officials, and you should be beheaded for the crime!" ”

said that he ordered his own soldiers to take down Sun Jian. Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, and his spirit exploded, he pulled out his sword and shouted: "Who is you, who dares to kill me?" ”

Ji Ling's personal guards saw that Sun Jian had moved, and immediately drew their swords, and Sun Jian's soldiers did not show weakness, and took out their weapons to guard Sun Jian's side.

A bloody battle is on the verge of breaking out.

Ji Ling's face turned pale with anger, and he pointed at Sun Jian's words: "You...... You ......"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi and others under Sun Jian's account all came up to dissuade Sun Jian.

Ji Ling was also a little afraid of Sun Jian's force, and didn't dare to really fight with him. Sun Jian reluctantly apologized to Ji Ling under the persuasion of his subordinates, and Ji Ling had a step, so the two sides stopped and returned to the camp.

It is impossible for Huang Zu to retreat into Fancheng and not deal with it, and the war in Jingzhou in the south must continue. Ji Ling led his troops to continue to storm Fancheng, and Huang Zu knew that it was difficult for the defeated army to defend the city, so he soon abandoned the city and retreated to Xiangyang.

After Ji Ling captured Fancheng, he took advantage of the victory to pursue, and led the army to cross the Han River and besiege Xiangyang City. And because he was afraid of Sun Jian's strong attack, Ji Ling ordered Sun Jian to be ready to support at any time.

Ji Ling's order once again saved Sun Jian, and also put him in danger in place of Sun Jian.

In the face of Ji Ling's army, Liu Biao closed his door. In order to understand the siege of Xiangyang, Liu Biao ordered Huang Zu to sneak out of the city to mobilize troops and horses to relieve the siege.

Huang Zu gathered soldiers and horses and returned, and fought with Ji Ling outside Xiangyang City, Huang Zu pretended to be invincible and was defeated in Da Xian Mountain. Ji Ling took advantage of the victory to pursue, but Huang Zu ordered the troops to ambush Lu Gong in the bamboo forest, and took advantage of Ji Lingjun's passing bamboo forest to be defenseless, and suddenly the arrows were fired in unison, Ji Lingjun was hit hard, and Ji Ling was also shot off the war horse with three arrows.

As soon as Duke Lu saw that Ji Ling's army was in chaos, he immediately led people to rush out of the bamboo forest, preparing to give Ji Ling a fatal blow.

At this critical moment, Sun Jian arrived.
