Liu Miao's wings were not hard enough to change the world, so Sun Jian still died in Jingzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As in the original history, Sun Jian led troops to attack Liu Biao, and once the momentum was like a bamboo, Liu Biao could not resist at all, so he could only retreat in Xiangyang City without fighting. Later, Liu Biao sent his troops to break through the siege of Huang Zu and go out of the city to mobilize soldiers. After Huang Zu returned with his troops, he fought with Sun Jian again, and was defeated by Sun Jian, so Huang Zu had to pack up his troops and flee to Da Xian Mountain, not far from Xiangyang City. Who knew that Sun Jian personally led his troops to chase after him, and did not take Huang Zu in his eyes at all. Huang Zu saw that Sun Jian had few soldiers, so he lured Sun Jian to continue the pursuit alone, and at the same time laid an ambush in the mountains and forests, and finally found a chance for him, and shot Sun Jian to death with random arrows.

Sun Jian paid the price of his life for his reckless enemy, and Sun Ce suffered the pain of losing his father at the age of seventeen.

When Sun Ce led his troops to Nanyang from Shouchun, he had already received the news of Sun Jian's death.

He hurried to the banks of the Han River to see Sun Jian's old department, but learned that Sun Jian's body had been carried into Xiangyang City by Liu Biaojun. Sun Ce couldn't help crying loudly, and was about to lead troops to attack Xiangyang and recapture his father's body.

Sun Jian's subordinate Huang Gai stopped: "The lord has unfortunately died, and the more than 10,000 sergeants are now almost all restrained by the Hou general, and we can gather less than 3,000 people, and it is impossible to capture Xiangyang." Childe might as well go and beg the general, maybe he can help get the lord's body back because of the merit that the lord has made for him. ”

Sun Ce couldn't, so he had to go to the rear general Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu saw Sun Ce's heroic face, quite the demeanor of his father Sun Jian, and groaned slightly, not knowing what to think in his heart, and then said kindly: "Don't worry, virtuous nephew, your father is also my favorite general, and I can't bear to let his body fall back to his roots." It's just that now the sergeants have no heart to fight, why don't I write a letter by hand, you can give it to Liu Biao, and he will definitely be able to see it in my face and let you get back your father's body. ”

After all, Sun Ce was young, and he actually believed it for a while, he took Yuan Shu's letter and prepared to go to Xiangyang City in person.

Huang Gai stopped again: "Childe can't go!" Since Liu Biao had harmed the lord and had been repeatedly forced to attack by Yuan Shu, how could he return the body of the lord so easily, I was afraid that the prince would not return the body of the lord, but instead he would lose his life. ”

Sun Ce cried again: "This is not good, that is not good, is it possible to let my father live in a foreign land like this, and be insulted by the enemy after death?" ”

Sun Jian's subordinates didn't know what to do for a while, but suddenly a sergeant came to report, and a scribe asked to see him, saying that he could go and retrieve Sun Jian's body.

Sun Ce met the scribe with great anticipation, and listened to him introduce himself: "My name is Huanjie, and the Marquis of Wucheng has been kind to me, and now it is time to repay him. I am willing to enter Xiangyang City alone to see Liu Jingzhou, and please return the body of the Hou Ye. ”

Sun Ce was very moved, but refused: "It's too dangerous for you to do this, I can't let you lose your life because of this, and I will find another way to get my father's body back." ”

But Huanjie insisted on going, and Sun Ce also knew that there was no other good way, so he had to agree.

Huan Jie entered the city and saw Liu Biao, explained to him the intention, Liu Biao said: "You are not small, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

Huan Dai had no fear on his face, and said with great righteousness: "If the husband dies, he will die, what is there to be afraid of?" I have heard people say that a virtuous gentleman will not prevent others from doing their filial piety. Now that General Sun has passed away, his son wants to fulfill his filial piety but can't even get his body, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will damage Liu Yuanjun's reputation. On the contrary, if the envoy can return the body regardless of his past suspicions, the world will be able to praise the magnanimity of the envoy. Now I have come to ask for General Sun's body, which can fulfill the virtue of the envoy, the filial piety of the son of the Sun family, and the third can repay the kindness of General Sun's recommendation to me during his lifetime. With these three points, how can I not do it because I am afraid of death? ”

When Liu Biao heard this, he was deeply shocked and said with emotion: "There are really not many people like you who pay attention to morality now!" Then I will fulfill you. Sun Jian's body, I have packed it in a coffin, you can take it and hand it over to Sun Jian's family. And tell them that the two families should strike their own armies and stop invading each other. ”

Huan Jie hurriedly thanked Liu Biao.

Before leaving, Liu Biao said: "I admire the person who preaches morality the most, Mr. not only preaches morality, but also has talent and learning, why don't you be an official in Jingzhou?" ”

Huan Jie replied: "Thank you, envoy! My father had just passed away, and I was anxious to return to my hometown for the funeral, so I could not accept your wishes. ”

Hearing Huan Jie's words, Liu Biao admired it even more, a person who was in a hurry to treat his father's funeral chose to repay the kindness first, such a person is even more rare! So Liu Biao said: "Since this is the case, I will not force Mr., if there is a chance in the future, please come to Jingzhou, and the table will definitely sweep the couch to greet you!" ”

After speaking, Liu Biao also gave Huanjie a good horse and some travel expenses, and Sun Jian's body was also sent to Sun Ce. After completing the task, Huan Jie hurried back to his hometown in Changsha without stopping.

However, Yuan Shu was very surprised when he heard that Sun Ce really wanted to return Sun Jian's body, thinking that it was really his letter that had played a role, and his face was greatly satisfied, and he actually made the decision not to plot against Jingzhou for the time being.

But for Sun Jian's subordinates, Yuan Shu still has some ideas. He let Sun Ce's cousin Sun Ben inherit Sun Jian's position as the assassin of Yuzhou, and the three thousand Sun Jian's descendants who could not be annexed by him for the time being were also led by Sun Ben and Wu Jingdai. As for Sun Ce, Yuan Shu did not make any arrangements on the grounds that he was still young and wanted to keep filial piety, but instructed Sun Ce to bury his father before returning to serve.

At this time, Sun Ce didn't care about anything, he just silently took a small number of his father's old subordinates, escorted his father's coffin, and returned to Wu County to arrange a funeral.

***********

Sun Jian's death did not only affect Sun Ce's family, but to some extent promoted the change of the situation in the world.

Since Sun Jian forced Wang Rui, the former assassin of Jingzhou, and killed Zhang Shi, the Taishou of Nanyang, many prestigious governors in the world have died due to mutual encroachment on territory, such as Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao was killed by Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and Jizhou Mu Hanfu was forced to die after Yuan Shao seized the foundation, and now it is Sun Jian's turn.

After this reincarnation, the imperial court's control over the local area has almost dropped to the freezing point, and the constant battles of local princes and the fall of Sun Jian and others seem to remind the existing local rulers, look, as long as you have strength, you can annex states and counties and expand your territory.

Ambition is like a weed, which begins to take root in the hearts of princes everywhere until it grows up. For a while, I don't know how many state and county princes began to fight fiercely.

Liu Miao was clearly aware of the changes in the situation in the world. While he sent Liu Ji to mourn at Sun's house in Wu County on his behalf, he stepped up the integration of the resources under his rule and prepared to take the first step in his struggle for the world.
