Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Cunning Yang Ding

When Hu Zhen received that Sun Jian had fled to Liang County and regrouped in Liang County, his heart began to come alive. He wanted to lead his soldiers and horses to capture Liang County, kill Sun Jian, and help his son-in-law Dong Bai get rid of Sun Jian's henchman.

So, Hu Zhen gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city and went to Liang County.

In Hu Zhen's opinion, even if Sun Jian regathers soldiers and horses in Liang County, he can only gather more than 10,000 people, but the morale of these more than 10,000 people is low, they lose their armor, and what combat effectiveness they can have, they are just a group of rabble, so Hu Zhen is very confident in this battle, he believes that even if he loses more, as long as he can successfully kill Sun Jian and make Gongzi happy, it will be worth it in Hu Zhen's opinion.

Hu Zhen, who started from Yangcheng, went upriver along Yingshui and went west. Hu Zhen fought steadily all the way, controlling the speed of the march whether it was fast or slow, and preventing the sudden sneak attack of the enemy. The reason why he did not go south was because he was worried that if he went south from Yangcheng, he would be cut off by the enemy east of Liang County. Therefore, when choosing to go west, it is right to be backed by Dagu Pass on the south side of Luoyang, and you can also let the soldiers on the pass cooperate with your own attack, and at the same time protect the back road for yourself.

On the whole, Hu Zhen's strategy is very stable and very feasible.

After Sun Jian received the news that Hu Zhen had raised troops to attack his side, he also began to actively prepare for Hu Zhen's attack. Therefore, Sun Jian arranged forward positions in the two villages of Yangren and Guangcheng in the north of Liangxian County, set up several dock forts, sniped Hu Zhen, and delayed the pace of his attack.

Hu Zhen led his men and horses to quickly reach the vicinity of Yangrenju, and was sniped by Sun Jian's dock fort at this time.

The dock fort set up by Sun Jian was left by a wealthy family here before, and it was built to block the attack of the Yellow Turban Army. After that, the owner of the dock fort moved west with the Xiliang army, and the dock fort was idle. During this time, Sun Jian collected information in the vicinity, and when he found this dock fort, he decisively stationed there and used it to block the enemy.

Hu Zhen was ruthless, and stormed the dock fort at any cost, and finally succeeded in capturing it. Although this dock fort was captured by Hu Zhen, it also managed to buy Sun Jian some time. Hu Zhen was furious at the large losses suffered in the capture of Wubao. At this time, some officers and soldiers in the army violated military discipline and violated Hu Zhen's order to slaughter Sun Jianjun, who had surrendered in the dock fort. Hu Zhen was even more angry, and let out cruel words, if anyone dared to disobey his orders, no matter how big an official was, he would be severely punished, even if it was a "green ribbon".

As soon as Hu Zhen mentioned that he wanted to kill the "green ribbon", the army immediately began to talk about it. The "green ribbon" mentioned by Hu Zhen has two people in his army, one is himself, and the other is Yang Ding. No one would think that Hu Zhen would have trouble with him, what he revealed was that even if Yang Ding violated military law, he must be killed.

Yang Ding, the word renovation, was originally the Haoyou Lord of Liangzhou, was Dong Zhuo in the Xiliang when the local wealthy family, and then followed Dong Zhuo to the south to fight in the north, made a lot of contributions, tired of moving to the school captain, although it is a school captain but deeply loved by Dong Zhuo, a silver seal green ribbon.

At the end of last year, when Dong Zhuo sent Hu Zhen to run Yangcheng, he sent this person as Hu Zhen's deputy to partner with Hu Zhen.

This person was born in Xiliang, and he is also a brave person, and his martial arts are similar to Hu Zhen.

It was Yang Ding's subordinates who violated Hu Zhen's military law before, and Hu Zhen was not killed on the spot because of Yang Ding's affection, but his temperament was straightforward and couldn't hold his breath, so he released cruel words to warn Yang Ding. In fact, its original intention was to say that it was just to say, and it didn't really mean to do anything to Yang Ding, but the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional, and Yang Ding took it to heart after hearing Hu Zhen's cruel words, and began to hold a grudge against Hu Zhen from then on.

Hu Zhen and Yang Ding are both from Liangzhou, and their family power is similar in Xiliang, but they don't have many ordinary contacts, but they are also famous for each other. Hu Zhen joined Dong Zhuo's command slightly earlier than Yang Ding, so his status has always been higher than Yang Ding, and Yang Ding was also slightly dissatisfied with this, but he never came out, but now because of Hu Zhen's words, the old hatred of the past hit like a tide, making Yang Ding unable to extricate himself.

There was a thought flickering in Yang Ding's mind, that is, to kill Hu Zhen and seize his military power, but Yang Ding and Hu Zhen have known each other for many years and understand their martial arts skills, so they are not very sure about killing Hu Zhen and seizing his military power. Moreover, Dong Zhuo is very strict in governing the army, if this matter is discovered by him, even if Yang Ding successfully kills Hu Zhen, it will be difficult to escape Dong Zhuo's severe punishment, and it will still be a dead end at that time.

Yang Ding was puzzled as to where to go, but after some thought, he finally came up with a good idea.

Just after Hu Zhen successfully led his men and horses to successfully conquer Sun Jian's army in the dock fort where the Yang people gathered, Sun Jian also led the men and horses to Guangchengju not far from the Yang people gathering soon after.

Guangchengju and Yangrenju are not far apart, that is, thirty or forty miles away. Sun Jian was overjoyed after getting a small loss from Hu Zhen's dock fort where the people gathered in Yang. Originally, when Hu Zhen attacked Wubao, Sun Jianjun's vanguard had already arrived near him, and when Sun Jianjun's vanguard made the decision to take advantage of Hu Zhen's attack on Wubao, the other party had already succeeded. The vanguard of Sun Jian's army was Sun Jing, and Sun Jing saw that the opportunity had been missed, so he asked his troops to retreat first, waiting for the main force led by his brother Sun Jian to join him.

After Sun Jian arrived in Guangchengju, he began to mobilize the soldiers to boost the morale of the soldiers, and at the same time continued to send fine work to lurk near Hu Zhen's military horses.

At this time, Hu Zhen also began to lead the soldiers and horses to approach in the direction of Guangchengju, and Sun Jian did not show weakness, and immediately led his men and horses to the direction of Yangrenju, and the two sides faced each other without retreating.

At this time, Yang Ding was also determined to destroy Hu Zhen's good deeds, in Yang Ding's opinion, Sun Jianjun at this time was definitely not Hu Zhen's opponent, if Hu Zhen successfully defeated Sun Jian, his position in the Xiliang army would be more stable, and his own status would be even less than Hu Zhen. At that time, Hu Zhen will look down on himself even more, and maybe one day he will find some reason to rectify himself. Categorically can't follow Hu Zhen's thoughts.

So, when the army was about ten miles away from Sun Jian's army, Yang Ding secretly sent his henchmen to find some of the recruits selected by Hu Zhen from Sun Jian's army to replenish the troops, and let them shout in the formation: "Sun Jian has surrounded us from behind, flee quickly!" If you don't run away, you'll die! He shouted over and over again.

At this time, there were not many soldiers who made chaos, and if Yang Ding wanted to suppress it, he could immediately use the men and horses in his hands to extinguish the rebels without much effort.

But how could Yang Ding's previous plan be ruined.

So, not only did they not send troops to suppress it, but they made a panicked appearance.
