Chapter 378: Sun Ce Becomes Famous
Gongsun Zhan's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Xian, let's listen to it!" You and I are brothers, if you have the opportunity to create a great cause, why send someone to the fence? ”
Liu Bei said: "Ma Chao and Yuan Shao are both behemoths, and the two princes have millions of soldiers and horses in their hands. You and I have no inch of land in our hands, and the army is weak, no matter who wins, the two of them will not allow me and the two of us to make a comeback, rather than this, it is better to take the opportunity to seek self-reliance, he said may not be able to create a great cause? ”
Gongsun Zan was greatly moved, and said in a deep voice: "Although the words of the virtuous brother are reasonable, but if the situation is decided today, Ma Chaohu is in the north, and the soldiers are strong and strong, and it is difficult to shake its foundation with the troops in our hands alone. Although the situation in the south is chaotic, Yuan Shao will not tolerate us taking the opportunity to divide the territory" Speaking of this, his heart moved, and he frowned and asked: "Could it be that Brother Fei has already planned in his heart!" ”
Liu Bei said: "Not bad! Don't hide it from Brother Bo Wei, when he was crusading against the Yellow Turban in Youzhou, Bei once recognized Liu Yan, the assassin of Youzhou at that time, as his uncle. At present, the imperial court is controlled by Ma Chao, and it exists in name only, Liu Yan in Shu has been called the emperor, and he is a relative of the Han family, so it is better for me to enter Shu to take refuge in assisting Liu Yan, so that the Han family can also be restored, and it can be reused no matter how bad it is! ”
Gongsun Zhan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this, after all, his family was all in the hands of Ma Chao, and Ma Chao could give away his wife and concubine, but he didn't dare to move a finger from Ma Tie, otherwise the family would really be ruined.
Liu Bei saw the opportunity to persuade: "Brother Bo Wei's jealousy is just a family, as long as Ma Tie is in hand, Ma Chao will not dare to do things." Besides, once we break away from Cao ** and Yuan Shao, we can exchange them with Ma Tie at any time! ”
Gongsun Chan pondered for a long time and said, "The stakes are very high, how about letting my brother think about it for a few days before making a decision?" ”
Liu Bei hugged his fists and said: "You should be like this!" ”
However, it is said that the main reason why Yanzhou can be so quiet during this month is that the fighter planes are immature. At present, Cao's strength has been greatly weakened, and on the one hand, he has to besiege Lu Bu in Dongjun, and on the other hand, he has to prevent a fire in the backyard, after all, Xu Huang and Wen Ping live in the area of Xiaopei and Pengcheng, and they may attack Yanzhou at any time. The more important Zhang He, who was stationed in Qingzhou, had also stabilized the situation in Qingzhou at this moment, and he could lead troops to invade Yanzhou at any time.
The same is true for Liyi, the east should divide forces to deter Lu Bu of Dongjun, and Huang Zhong is eyeing Huang Zhong across the Yellow River in the north, once he dares to attack Dongjun, Huang Zhong will take the opportunity to cross the river and attack Yanzhou, and Bishui Pass and Gao Shun's trapping camp can send troops at any time, Chen Liutai guards Zhang Miao is still trapped and fighting, so that Liyi does not dare to act rashly.
In addition, there is another reason to wait for the outcome of the battle in Guangling. Yuan Shao sent his eldest sons Yuan Tan and Sun Ce to lead 50,000 troops to attack Guangling County, Guangling is a large county with a population of hundreds of thousands, plus the addition of Zhenrong and others, its strength is not worse than Yuan Tan. Yuan Shao only relied on 50,000 soldiers and horses to eradicate Liu Xuan, so Yuan Shao had already prepared, so Danyang Taishou Wu Jing sent troops to Guangling, forming a two-way army to attack Guangling.
Liu Shao seized Guangling, had a grudge against Wu Jingsu, and was even more intolerable with Yuan Shao, after all, Yuan Shao took away the throne of his Yangzhou assassin history, otherwise Huainan, Huaibei and Jiangdong are all his sphere of influence. Seeing the two armies coming to attack this time, Liu Miao was also bottomless, he was repeatedly defeated by Yuan Shao, and the troops in his hands were only more than 40,000 people.
Liu Miao didn't want to sit still, and while concentrating his troops and food in Jiangdu, he asked for help from Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian. Tao Qian was already terminally ill at the moment, and the affairs of Xuzhou were presided over by Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Cao Bao and others, who had already taken refuge in Ma Chao, so Chen Deng and others had to ask Xun You, who was sitting in Qingxu Erzhou.
Xun You quickly made a decision after careful consideration, Guangling is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, hundreds of miles away from Pengcheng, if Xu Huang divides his troops to rescue him, it will be difficult to make contributions, not to mention, it will also give Yan Liang the opportunity to attack Xuzhou. Besides, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao and Liu Chao have always been divided from one side, although Guangling is the gateway to the south of Xuzhou, in fact, it is a chicken rib, it is better to use Yuan Shao's hand to get rid of Liu Chao and Zhang Chao and others, so as to concentrate Yuan Shao's forces to determine the victory or defeat in a battle.
After making up his mind, Xun You sent an envoy to Jiangdu to reply to Liu Xuan, asking him to abandon Guangling and lead his troops to retreat into the interior of Xuzhou, and unite to fight against Yuan Shao.
Liu Miao was unwilling to give up Guangling, but due to the situation, he had to promise Xun You, otherwise he would be defeated and killed. At this moment, Wu Jing's 30,000 troops had not yet arrived, but Yuan Tan's 50,000 soldiers and horses had already set up a large camp outside Jiangdu City, and every time he sent troops to fight, he was full of scolding.
Why did Liu Miao refuse to fight, and the soldiers in the city were all angry. This time, after discussing with Zhen Rong, Zhang Chao, Xue Li and others, Liu Miao decided to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang. Mingli was personally led out of the city by Liu Miao to meet Yuan Tan, aiming to drag Yuan Tan's main army, and secretly Zhang Chao and Zhenrong mobilized the people, brought their families and the baggage in the city from the east gate to Huai'an.
After everything was ready, Liu Miao led his generals Zhang Ying, Xue Li, Fan Neng, Chen Heng, Yu Mi, Tai Shici and others to lead 30,000 troops out of the city to meet the battle.
In front of the two armies, Liu Miao stepped forward and scolded: "Yuan Tan Xiao'er, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, has repeatedly received the emperor's favor, but he doesn't want to repay the favor, and does some dirty things!" In the past, it was just to seize Yangzhou, but now he is waving his army to invade Xuzhou, which is really too deceitful! ”
Yuan Tan was twenty-four or five years old, and when he heard this, he immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Yangzhou is the land of the Han Dynasty, and your Yangzhou assassin history is appointed by Dong Zhuo's imperial court, and Dong Zhuo is ** also!" You are just Dong Zhuo's lackey, how can you be in the history of Yangzhou Thorn? ”
Liu Miao said: "I am loyal to the Han family, as a Han minister, what do I have to do with Dong Thief?" You are just a yellow-mouthed child, and you dare to slander the history of this assassination, you really don't know whether you live or die! After that, he turned around and shouted: "Yuan Tan is here, who dares to fight!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a middle-aged general in a helmet and armor stand up and shouted: "The last general is willing to go!" Everyone fixed their eyes, but it was Chen Heng, a general under Liu Xuan.
Chen Heng was holding a big knife, his armor was bright, and the red horse under his crotch was also majestic and abnormal. ”
Yuan Tan also has martial arts, and when he led the troops to fight for the first time, he wanted to make a show, and stopped the generals who wanted to come out at the moment, and shouted: "Nameless, send yourself to death in vain!" With that, he greeted him with an iron spear.
In the blink of an eye, the two fought for more than twenty times, and Yuan Tan's strength was greatly damaged, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage. And Chen Heng became more and more courageous the more he fought, and the knife went straight to the point.
Sun Ce was anxious in his eyes, and when he saw that Yuan Tan was invincible, he wanted to step forward, but he listened to Zhou Yu on the side and advise: "Brother Bo Fu, don't worry!" ”
Sun Ce frowned, hugged his fists and said, "What does Gong Jin mean by this?" ”
Zhou Yu said in a low voice: "Yuan Tan, as the main general, dares to face the enemy in person, if he wins, he can greatly boost his morale, and if he loses, he will damage his majesty!" If Bo Fu wants to be famous, why rush for a while. ”
Sun Ce was thoughtful, and stood still at the moment, watching the two face each other.
said that the two fought to more than 50 times, and the pampered Yuan Tan could no longer support it, so he left with a false shot. Chen Heng shouted: "Where to go!" After that, he hung up the long knife, bent the bow and arrows, and the sharp wolf tooth arrows went straight to Yuan Tan's heart.
Yuan Tan heard the sound of the bowstring and wanted to dodge it was too late, only to feel a chill in the back of his heart, the wolf's tooth arrow directly penetrated the heart guard and shot into the back, fortunately, most of the strength was removed by the heart guard, although he was seriously injured, he would not be killed, and he spurted a mouthful of blood at the moment, and came straight to the main formation. Chen Heng saw that Yuan Tan was not killed on the spot, so he immediately opened his bow a second time, preparing to make up for the fatal arrow!
Seeing this, Sun Ce didn't dare to hesitate any longer, Yuan Tan was Yuan Shao's eldest son, if he died in front of the two armies, they would not have good fruit to eat, so he immediately raised his gun and shouted: "The eldest prince is careful!" With that, Feima stepped forward and picked off the second arrow shot by Chen Heng with one shot.
Chen Hengzhi couldn't help but be annoyed when he failed to make a contribution to the arrow he was bound to get, and raised his knife and shouted: "The thief will report his name, and the nameless ghost will not die under the knife!" ”
Sun Ce was nineteen years old, which was the age of Fang Gang, and he shouted: "I am Jiangdong Sun Bofu is also!" Today, I have come to take your head! ”
What Chen Heng is most afraid of is Yuan Shao's Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others, but he has never heard of Sun Ce, who has just debuted, and has never seen it, and immediately disdainfully said: "No name dares to speak out!" Today it will be done for you! With that, he stepped forward with his knife, and swept through thousands of troops with one move and slashed at Sun Ce's neck.
The latter sneered, and the black iron gun in his hand was horizontal, only to hear the crisp sound of the "bell", and the two weapons collided together without any fancy fancy. As soon as the two of them fought each other, they fought together, Sun Ce's strength was infinite, and the Xuantie gun in his hand weighed seventy-two catties, and under the vigorous infusion, he directly blocked Chen Heng's long knife, and stabbed Chen Heng's throat again.
Chen Henghu's mouth cracked, his arms were numb, his chest was stuffy, he couldn't dodge it, he could only watch the spear pierce his throat, and immediately screamed and turned over and fell off the horse, blood gushed in his throat, and he couldn't look at it!
When Yuan Jun saw that Sun Ce had beheaded the enemy general, he immediately cheered, gongs and drums rang out in unison, and his morale was greatly shaken. On the other hand, Liu Xuan's army fell from the clouds to the bottom, and almost beheaded the enemy's main general just now, who knew that the situation was reversed so quickly.
Liu Mi's face was gloomy, and he was about to speak, when he saw Chen Heng's friend Yu Mi angry, and he came out with a mountain chopping knife, shouting: "Xiao'er is rampant, Yu Mi will come to meet you for a while!" ”
Sun Ce was undaunted, and Tima went up to fight with him. After the battle, I saw that Sun Ce's spear was like lightning, fast and ruthless, and stabbed straight towards Yu Mi's shoulder blade. The latter couldn't dodge, so he had to raise his knife to parry, and after a crisp sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the big knife in Yu Mi's hand flew directly out of his hand.
A good Sun Ce, he was unforgiving, and took advantage of the fact that Mi Qi had not recovered his strength to raise his divine power to lightly relax the ape arm, and directly caught Mi in his armpit. (To be continued.) )
