At the beginning of the first year of Chuping (190), Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao pretended to be a letter from the three princes of the capital, and sent a letter to the princes of each town, asking everyone to oppose Dong Baohan, and the princes responded accordingly. At that time, Yuan Shu had fled from Luoyang as a general, and he came to the south to accumulate strength to prepare for the anti-Dong, and immediately after receiving the message, he reported to the world and raised troops against Dong.

Yuan Shu did not take immediate action like other princes after opposing Dong, and he still stationed troops in Luyang (now Lushan, Henan) when Liu Dai, Chen Liutai, Zhang Miao, Guangling, Qiaomao, Dongjun, Yuan Yi, Yuan Yi, Jibei Baoxin, and Cao Cao, joined forces in Suoju, and Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang, who were too shou of Hanoi, marched into Hanoi, he still stationed troops in Luyang (now Lushan, Henan) and did not feel anxious. Because Yuan Shu was still waiting, waiting for a man, he believed that if this person came, the crusade against Dong Zhuo would definitely be no problem.

That man was Sun Jian, Sun Wentai, the ——— of Changsha Taishou at that time!

A few months later, Sun Jian lived up to Yuan Shu's high hopes and led his army on a long journey to Luyang to join Yuan Shu. Immediately, Yuan Shu praised him as a general and led the history of Yuzhou's assassination. Sun Jian rested his troops in Luyang, and prepared to march to defeat Dong Zhuo.

After Dong Zhuo learned that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had raised troops, he killed their uncle Yuan Kui and the Yuan clan in Beijing. At this time, most of the heroes belonged to Yuan Shao, and because of the hardships and emotions of his family, everyone wanted to avenge him, so there was no one who did not fight the Yuan banner in the troops that swarmed in the prefectures and counties.

The Guanqian army was not deterred by this, but its momentum increased, and Dong Zhuo was forced to move the capital to Chang'an.

In February of the second year of Chuping (191), Sun Jian had already prepared grain and grass at this time, and the troops had also been reorganized, and they were fully prepared, and he and Yuan Shu were responsible for the front-line war and the rear support. So he marched to Liangdong (now east of Linru County, Henan Province), hoping to attack Luoyang in this way.

But you won't see a rainbow if you don't experience wind and rain. Under the battle between Liang Dong and Xu Rong, Sun Jian, who had made all the preparations, was still almost wiped out and barely escaped alone. When was the last time Sun Jian experienced such a big defeat, I am afraid it has to be traced back to the moment when he followed Zhonglang to fight Zhu Jun and Bocai's army eight years ago, and was defeated and retreated to Changshe. At that time, it was also the first battle that was unfavorable, everyone was surrounded by yellow turban thieves in Changshe City, everyone was panicked, even General Zhu Jun was no exception, only the leading general Huang Pu Song was not afraid at all, he told everyone: "Don't be afraid, it's just a group of thieves." Immediately, General Huangpu Song broke the Bocai Department in a night battle before the reinforcements arrived, and finally exterminated the Yellow Turban thieves in the Ru and Ying areas.

Now General Zhu Jun is gone, and General Huangpu Song is gone, but my Sun Wentai is still there!

Sun Jian did not give up, although he suffered this defeat and almost lost his life, his heart burned, come on! Make the enemy's attack more violent!

He slowly collected stragglers along the way, and with the support of Yuan Shu, he reorganized his troops again, entered and occupied Taiguyang (now the west of Linxian County), and was on strict guard, ready to wait for an opportunity to fight again, and humiliate him before the snow.

After Dong Zhuo learned the news, he sent two of his right-hand men Hu Zhen and Lu Bu (both of whom were one of the few lieutenant generals under Dong Zhuo at that time), and also led many other elite generals to lead 5,000 elite cavalry to attack Sun Jian.

Sun Jian took advantage of the discord within the Xiliang army to defeat him, Hu Zhen and Lu Bu led the army to flee, and Hua Xiong, the general of the Western Liang army, was also shown to the public by Sun Jian. This was the first major victory of the anti-Dong coalition army in more than a year of fighting with Dong Zhuo, after Cao Cao and Sun Jian were defeated by Xu Rong successively, and Wang Kuang's army in Hanoi was annihilated by the Western Liang army. This greatly encouraged the momentum of the coalition forces at that time, and from then on, the Xiliang army was no longer invincible.

After Sun Jian defeated Hu Zhen and Lu Bu, Yuan Shu was very happy, and he could only hate the villain and say to him: "If you are strong, you can't copy it, this is to get rid of the wolf and get the tiger." Yuan Shu was worried that Sun Jian's tail would not be lost, so he did not transport military rations to Sun Jian. But after Sun Jian rushed back overnight and had an in-depth conversation with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu felt very ashamed and immediately reassigned military rations to Sun Jian.

Later, Sun Jian rejected Dong Zhuo's intention to make peace, and made up his mind to kill Dong Zhuo. In order to fight against Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo personally led a large army to fight with Sun Jian in the area of the tomb of the first emperor in Sili, Sun Jian was calm and calm after learning that Dong Zhuo was coming, he was even more fearless, and finally defeated the Xiliang army, Dong Zhuo was also forced to transfer to Mianchi and Shaancheng, leaving only Lu Bu as a cover.

Sun Jian then marched into Luoyang, repelled Lü Bu again, and recovered the old capital.

At that time, Yuan Shao was the leader of more than ten princes, but he could only lead troops in Hanoi; There are many princes and generals in the sour jujube coalition army, but they have been scattered without food; Cao Cao also led a large army to support Zhu Jun and himself eight years ago, but now he can only send people under the fence after the soldiers and horses are defeated; Dong Zhuo, as the demon king of troubled times and the lord of Xiliang, has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the good generals don't know how to go, but they can only throw away their armor and give up the capital.

Counting the romantic characters, there is only Sun Wentai today!

In the battle against Dong, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were both first-class commanders at the time, and even cooperated in the crusade against the Yellow Turbans, but they were also defeated by Xu Rong in the first battle, but the outcome was very different. Cao Cao lost all his words in the sour jujube army in the future, so he could only reluctantly recruit 1,000 soldiers and defect to Yuan Shao, and there was no news in the war after that. On the contrary, Sun Jian became stronger and stronger, and after losing to Xu Rong, he actually defeated Hu Zhen, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu in a row, and beat the Xiliang army to Luoyang.

The gap between the two may not be much higher than the military level in the future, but I am afraid that there will be a difference of thousands of miles in terms of preparation. Cao Cao took advantage of Dong Zhuo's move to the capital, and attacked by tricks, but was instead bullied by Xu Rong with superior forces, and he did not pick up the advantage of the Xiliang army but was picked up by the Xiliang army, and then because of the loss of the army, he was alienated by Zhang Miao, and had to go to Yuan Shao.

After Sun Jian joined Yuan Shu, he did not immediately send troops to fight Dong. He worked under Sikong Zhang Wen and had a deep understanding of the Xiliang Army, so he first prepared grain and grass in Luyang, rested the troops, and ensured that the army could attack at any time. Then he fought with Yuan Shu inside and outside, Sun Jian fought outside, and Yuan Shu kept supplies and provided support. Sun Jian was fully prepared before he sent troops to attack Dong Zhuo, so even if it was unfavorable for a while, he could quickly regroup, in contrast, Cao Cao would be injured if he was defeated, and the grain and grass of Yuan Shao and Sour Zao's army were also pinched by Han Fu, and the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

After Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu fell out, the two sides found allies and formed a showdown between the two camps with the two as the core.

In order to stabilize his rear, Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to crusade against Liu Biao. Sun Jian was killed by a hidden arrow when he was besieging Xiangyang, and a generation of famous generals died.
