However, he said that Sun Jian led his troops to attack Liu Biao, and Liu Biao sent his general Huang Zu to meet him. The two armies refused to fight in the area of Deng County, and after several battles, Huang Zu was defeated by Sun Jian and retreated to the city of Xiangyang. Sun Jian then occupied Fancheng and continued to use troops against Xiangyang.

Liu Biao's troops were insufficient, and he could only barely rely on a strong city to defend. However, in order to redeem the defeat, Liu Biao sent Huang Zu out of the city at night and went to other cities to mobilize troops to come back for reinforcements.

In this regard, Sun Jian couldn't help but ask Xue Cong: "Then Huang Zu must have moved reinforcements when he went out of the city at night, why didn't he send someone to intercept and kill him?" ”

Xue Cong smiled disapprerovingly and said, "General Sun, don't worry, this is exactly what I am trying to do; The city of Xiangyang is strong, and there is the danger of Han water, although our army has many soldiers, but it is difficult to break through for a while; It is better to besiege it for the time being, and destroy its reinforcements one by one, and when the morale of the city is exhausted, you can force Liu Biao to surrender. ”

Sun Jian couldn't help but nod and said, "Well, this is a safe plan, but it takes a bit of time." ”

Xue Cong said: "No, as long as you can take Xiangyang in the easiest way, even if it takes some time, it is worth it." ”

Sun Jian nodded and said, "Okay, let's do what you want." ”

A few days later, Huang Zu led reinforcements back. Sun Jian fought with him and defeated him. But this time Huang Zu came prepared, he knew that he was not Sun Jian's opponent in the battle of the unified army, so he set up an ambush in the Daxian Mountain valley south of Xiangyang and east of the Han River. So, after fighting with Sun Jian for a few battles, Huang Zu deliberately feigned defeat and retreated, and then retreated along the east bank of the Han River in the direction of the Da Hyeon Valley.

At that time, Liu Biao's subordinate general Lu Jie had already laid an ambush on the mountain roads on both sides. Sun Jian led a group of light horsemen to quickly chase after him, but he was caught off guard for a moment, and his mount was hit by a rock thrown by an ambush on the mountain road, and fell to the ground injured. At this moment, a man in his thirties suddenly shot a sharp arrow, hitting Sun Jian in the head. Kill him in an instant.

Seeing this, Lu Jie immediately laughed and said, "Haha, Huang Hansheng, you are really good!" ”

This man is a native of Nanyang, surnamed Huang Mingzhong, and his name is Hansheng. In addition to the good martial arts, the riding skills are also very exquisite, and what is even more amazing is that he has a good hand in archery, which can be described as a hundred shots. At this time, he was only a lieutenant under Huang Zu.

Subsequently. When Liu Biao learned that Sun Jian was dead, he was overjoyed, and immediately promoted Huang Zhong to Zhonglang General to reward his achievements.

Sun Jian's death dealt a big blow to his subordinate soldiers, and for a time the swarm was leaderless, and was defeated by Huang Zu, Huang Zhong and others led by them. Then, under the leadership of Sun Ben, the remaining men and horses defected to Yuan Shu.

Before his death, Sun Jian had elected Changsha people to be filial piety, and this person went to Liu Biao to ask for Sun Jian's body. I can take it back and bury it. Liu Biao thought that he was a loving and righteous person who could be a model for the world, so he returned Sun Jian's body to him. After Huan Jie brought back Sun Jian's body, he handed it over to Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce to take back to his hometown for burial.

Sun Jian's death made Xue Cong sigh a lot. He somewhat blamed himself for being careless. As the saying goes, don't chase after the poor. If he had been more careful and stopped Sun Jian a little, maybe such a tragedy would not have happened.

After staying under Yuan Shu for a few more days, Xue Cong found that this person was a little self-interested. Not a man who can achieve great things. So, he said goodbye and temporarily went to the countryside to retreat.

The situation in the Kanto region has changed over the past year. I've always been in control. Every few days I look at the map and predict what might happen next.

Allure had a doubt in his heart, but he never asked. On this day, seeing that I was studying the map again, she couldn't help it, so she asked, "Husband, I have always felt very strange, since you have put down the rebellion before, why do you want to resign and go into hiding?" ”

I couldn't help but smile slightly, but said, "Of course, I did this for a reason; Originally, I thought that as long as I put down the rebellion, I would be able to carry out my political ideas, but it was only later that I realized that the circumstances in which I lived did not allow it; I am not willing to give in to reality, and since I can't change it, I have to leave temporarily; Lao Tzu said, "If you want to take it, you must first take it"; If this matter is something that you don't have the ability to change for the time being, then let it continue to develop, and when it develops to a certain point, the opportunity for change will definitely appear; "Zhou Yi" also says that "things must be opposed". ”

She sighed again: "Is it really that important to you that everyone is equal?" ”

I looked at her with a deep groan, and then said, "The so-called 'equality of all' is not important to me at all, but it is especially important for the future of the human race. The existence of the aristocratic class system will force people to act with respect, which will lead to the distortion of the mainstream thinking of the world, and the inability to adhere to the correct outlook on life and values; If the thinking of the world is not correct, the direction of human development will be wrong, which will lead to the decline and even extinction of human beings; So no matter what, I have to change it, even if I die, I can't back down, I can't give up. ”

She couldn't help but say, "I can understand all these truths you said, but I can't really imagine what kind of cause and effect relationship it is." ”

I smiled and said, "Forget it, if you talk too much, it will make people feel confused; It's better to think about what you should have for lunch today. ”

She said: "It's so cold, of course I still eat hot pot." ”

I couldn't help but shake my head amusefully and said, "We've been eating hot pot for a month, can you change the dish?" ”

She said, "If you don't eat hot pot, you can eat Malatang." ”

I couldn't help but say, "I found out why you are dry with chili peppers, and you are not afraid of getting hot?" ”

She said: "This is not according to what you said, after the chaos in the world, there will be an extreme shortage of food, so we have to save some food for dinner; Make half a pot of soup and vegetables, and it will be enough for the two of us to eat; Why don't you go for two bowls of noodles or dumplings? ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, you can watch it, you just have to eat it anyway." ”

She smiled and said, "Well, I'll watch it happen; By the way, there have been more and more refugees in the village recently, and they are all about to be full; If this continues, I am afraid that there will not even be enough food in the village; You've got to figure it out. ”

I nodded and said, "I have asked Yiwu to consult with the county magistrate, and I plan to assign the surplus refugees to other villages; If there is not enough food, go to other places and buy as much as possible, in short, first to overcome the current difficulties. ”

She said, "I'm not talking about that; I mean, now that so many people have come to you, why don't you create a new force out of that? With your Wen Taowu strategy, if you want to start a new dynasty, I think it shouldn't be difficult. ”

I shook my head and said, "It's not the time yet, we have to wait a little longer." ”

She wondered, "What are you waiting for?" ”

I smiled slightly and said, "You'll know later." ”

She said, "So be it; Anyway, I'm happy to be with you now, and I'm happy to go on like this; It's just that I can't help but want to give you advice when I see you preoccupied every day. ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, I got it; When I should do something, I always have a plan in my heart, you don't have to worry about me; Let's cook rice, the only thing to do right now is to eat. ”

"Okay, I'm going to cook." As she spoke, she went to the kitchen to cook.

At this moment, I couldn't help but groan to myself. I didn't think about starting a business on my own, because it didn't seem necessary to me. Even today, I still think so. However, I believe that one day I will be able to change the way of the world, but that opportunity has not yet come. (To be continued......)
