Chapter 82: Zhu Jun Appears

On March 1 of the second year of Chuping (191 AD), Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, announced to the world: Zhonglang defeated Xu Rong to defeat the 100,000 rebels led by the traitor Sun Jian in the east of Liang County.

After the news spread to all parts of the country, several families were happy and some were sad.

Among the Kwantung princes, they were even more afraid of the soldiers of the Western Liang Army, and they all wanted to withdraw their troops if they continued to fight with Dong Zhuo's Western Liang Army.

And Sun Jian, who narrowly escaped with his life, was also very puzzled and depressed after seeing the news, obviously Dong Baixiaoer defeated him, but now how did he become Xu Rong's credit?

However, Sun Jian is not a living Lei Feng in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so naturally he will not stand up to clarify Dong Shouye and help Dong Shouye fight for the treatment he deserves.

Many people also asked Sun Jian about the battle, and Sun Jian, an insider, sipped his mouth three times and only told his master Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu naturally wouldn't go around announcing that his general was defeated by a hairy young man, so where would his old face go?

Since the insiders can basically be said to have unified the caliber, the princes of the world agree with the outcome of this battle.

Dong Shouye was also very happy to see his father release the news according to his own requirements. However, there were many generals under his command who came to ask Dong Shouye what was going on, and Dong Shouye also appeased and explained to these people one by one.

Before Dong Shouye received the news from Chang'an City, he took his soldiers and escorted the captured prisoners, left the battlefield, and continued to the north.

Dong Shouye still left Hu Zhen in the garrison in Yangcheng. As far as Hu Zhen is concerned, the order of his troops in Yangcheng was ordered by Dong Zhuo himself, which Dong Shouye did not change, after all, as a son in this era, he must not disobey his father's order, otherwise he would be unfilial, so he could only choose to defend his father's decision.

Although the current Hu Zhen has lost part of the cavalry, there is no suitable war horse to replenish, so now the men and horses under his command have become 8,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry.

The number of troops is still abundant, and no one around dares to make enemies with Hu Zhen, even if Hu Zhen takes the initiative to attack, there is no one who is an opponent. Because Hu Zhen may have two main enemies in the future, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, Yuan Shu is now confronting Liu Biao and can't draw too many troops; And Sun Jian has just been defeated, his vitality is greatly damaged, and it is not so easy to recover.

After Dong Shouye briefly explained to Hu Zhen, he led the army on the road, although he was a little worried about Hu Zhen, but after all, Hu Zhen was the only general under Dong Zhuo, Dong Shouye also had to grasp the proportion, and he couldn't say too much.

The army did not return the way it came, and did not choose to go from Otani Pass, but chose Yiyun Pass.

Yiyun Pass was relatively closer, and Dong Shouye and his army stayed in Yangcheng County, where Hu Zhen was stationed, for one night. Then he entered the pass from Yiyun Pass and escorted Xu Rong and more than 34,000 prisoners into Gong County.

After Xu Rong arrived in Gong County, he stopped and began to work in Gong County according to Dong Shouye's subordinates. Next, Xu Rong will fish and catch shrimp all day long, repair canals and fields, and become a complete old farmer.

At this time, Dong Shouye suddenly received a message.

It turned out that during the war between Dong Shouye and Sun Jian in the east of Liang County, Zhu Jun, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, had led people and horses to the vicinity of Luoyang, and the team arrived near Gongxian County.

At this time, Lu Bu, who was stationed in Xiaopingjin, received the news and made a big fanfare to leave Xiaopingjin and enter Luoyang, so Zhu Jun hesitated.

Later, the news of the Western Liang army's victory over Sun Jian reached Luoyang, and Zhu Jun was worried about being attacked by Lu Bu and Xu Rong from both sides, so he chose to retreat. In Zhu Jun's opinion, the main general of the Xiliang Army who was responsible for commanding this battle must be Xu Rong, as for the rumors that it was Dong Shouye, when it came to Zhu Jun's ears, he felt that Dong Zhuo was building momentum for his son and imposing great credit for defeating Sun Jian on his precious son.

In Zhu Jun's eyes, Dong Shouye is just a stinky child, but the alliance between Lu Bu and Xu Rong is a mortal threat, even Zhu Jun himself does not think that he can win safely, and even one of them cannot be underestimated, which is enough to be regarded as an opponent by Zhu Jun.

After Zhu Jun retreated from Gongxian, he did not dare to stay in the county near Luoyang, and instead came to Zhongmu County, which was not far from the camp of the Guandong princes, although Zhongmu County, like Luoyang City, was under the rule of Henan Yin, but Zhu Jun believed that the current Xiliang Army did not have the ability to take the initiative to attack the coalition army of the Kwantung princes. In fact, the current Xiliang Army is indeed powerless to forge ahead.

Zhu Jun's ability is not insignificant, Dong Zhuo ordered him to be Henan Yin, responsible for staying in Luoyang, and casually allocated some soldiers and horses to him to send things away.

Dong Zhuo thought that no one among the Kwantung princes would dare to be the first bird, and he took the initiative to attack himself at the risk of losing his strength, but who knew that he had met Sun Jian, the master who did not want to die.

Sun Jian pulled up the banner with the support of Yuan Shu, and recruited a lot of people under his command, and the situation in Luoyang suddenly became confusing.

Zhu Jun also wanted to stumble in Luoyang City in response to Sun Jian, but he didn't know that he met Xu Rong, a person who didn't enter the oil and salt, and Dong Zhuo's previous arrangement of the back hand as a constraint, Zhu Jun had no choice but to flee Luoyang.

After leaving Luoyang, Zhu Jun passed through Jingzhou, traveled to Yuzhou, and finally came to the sour jujube camp of the Kwantung princes.

At this time, Kong Ling, the assassin of Yuzhou, had been sick and died for a long time, and the official position of the assassin of Yuzhou was held by Sun Jian, who was recommended by Yuan Shu, and the men and horses under his command were indeed mercilessly divided by his allies.

Of course, some people say that Kong Ling was killed by his allies, but this qiē is no longer important, the important thing is that Zhu Jun has a huge reputation, and many of the princes in the sour jujube camp are his protégés and former officials, running for him.

With his great prestige, Zhu Jun asked for some of the men and horses from the hands of a few princes who divided Kong Ling's soldiers and horses, and borrowed some soldiers and horses from some princes to form an army.

These princes are all guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, and most of the soldiers and horses for Sun Jian are old, weak, sick and disabled, although they made up 20,000 people, but there are more than 10,000 people who can really go to the battlefield to fight, and even these selected people are enough, because the weapons and armor of these people are left by those princes who eat people and don't spit out bones. For them, people can give it back, but don't think about armor and weapons. If you want to gain an inch, it really doesn't give you any face.
