Chapter 4: Luyang's Defeat
Hu Zhen saw that Sun Jian had already commanded everyone to retreat into the city in an orderly manner, and then waited for the city, strictly guarding himself, knowing that he had lost his good opportunity, his own preparation was not sufficient, he did not carry siege equipment, and he did not dare to rashly attack the fortified city, so he ordered his horse to retreat slowly.
At this time, Sun Jian and everyone were relieved to see that the Xiliang Army led by Hu Zhen had withdrawn, and the secret path was really shocked just now, and they were almost dead without a place to be buried. Here, Sun Jian said in a loud voice: "Shicai, the enemy army is pressing, we are defenseless, if we panic, the enemy will definitely attack, and we will wait for the big thing to go." So I ordered you not to move, and the enemy was suspicious, but I was able to retreat into the city in peace. ”
At this time, the protagonist who was seen off said: "If it weren't for General Sun's fearlessness in the face of danger and his good command, I'm afraid we would all be muddy." General Sun is worthy of being Sun Wuzi, he knows the art of war very well, and uses false and real tactics to confuse the Xiliang army, and deliberately leaks our flaws, making the enemy suspicious. In the case of our inability to defend the city, we deliberately exposed the emptiness of our city, so that the enemy was suspicious and hesitated, and finally retreated. This is a soldier who surrenders without a fight, even if the famous generals of ancient times cannot reach it. ”
Sun Jian was also immediately humble when he heard this, saying anything like Hongfu who relied on the lord Yuan Shu, and praised the public enmity Yunyun, and gave a lot of gold and silver treasures, and also photographed the public enmity comfortably.
Then he wrote this incident into a battle table, entrusted the public enemy to bring the battle table to his master Yuan Shu, and asked the public enemy to give him a few good words in front of Yuan Shu, so that Yuan Shu could rest assured and prevent his master from stumbling on himself again.
This public feud claimed to have gained a lot of benefits from Sun Jian, so he naturally took people's money and eliminated disasters with others, and said a lot of good things to Sun Jian in front of Yuan Shu, praising Sun Jian like a flower.
Yuan Shu was also very happy after receiving the battle table, and thought to himself: "The Kwantung Coalition Army mobilized the people, and engaged hundreds of thousands of people together, but they couldn't do anything to the Xiliang Army, but his own general Sun Jian actually scared away Hu Zhen, the general of the Western Liang Army, with his amazing courage and courage. This Sun Jian really gave himself a long face, which shows that as the concubine of the Yuan family, he is much stronger than Yuan Shao's concubine. So, he gave Sun Jian a lot of rewards.
However, Hu Zhen could only lead the troops back, retreat first, and then continue to camp near Yangcheng to arrange defense.
However, it was said that since Sun Jian killed Wang Rui, the position of Jingzhou Assassin has become vacant, and at this time, Dong Zhuo saw that Liu Biao, the middle of the Northern Army, was polite and respectful to him, so he wanted to promote him.
This Liu Biao is a clan, after Liu Yu, the king of Han Lugong, a famous man in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, more than eight feet long, gentle and majestic, looks like a talent, is handsome and elegant, is known as one of the "eight handsome", and is also a virtuous person. So Dong Zhuo and his long history Liu Ai, that is, the Han royal family's Zongzheng Liu Ai, after discussion, asked Emperor Xian to pay tribute to Liu Biao as the assassin of Jingzhou, and immediately took office.
This Liu Biao is indeed a character, he went to Jingzhou single-handedly, and after arriving in Jingzhou alone, he secretly entered Yicheng, contacted Jingzhou celebrities Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue brothers, Cai Mao and other powerful families in Jingzhou to obtain support, and then set up a Hongmen banquet, recruiting more than 50 thieves, killing them all on the wine banquet, and then ruling Xiangyang in vain, pacifying the county and county, and pacifying most of Jingzhou.
At this time, the Nanyang County occupied by Yuan Shu also belonged to the control of the Jingzhou Thorn History Department, which Yuan Shu was coaxed and strong, but he would not be controlled by Liu Biao. Nanyang is the hometown of Liu Xiu, the lord of the Han Dynasty, although it is a county, it is actually similar to a state, and the population reached millions at its peak, that is, it has experienced various tosses in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, especially the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is still an extraordinary strength, the world is important, and the population is still nearly two million.
Such a good place, whoever gets it, will be able to immediately increase his strength to a higher level, and which warlord with ideas can not be greedy. This Liu Biao itself is a well-known character, and now he has just pacified most of Jingzhou, and he is even more high-spirited and strong-hearted, as the saying goes: how can others snore on the side of the couch, even Yuan Shu from the Yuan family of the third prince of the fourth world can't do it! And Yuan Shu relied on the strength of his family background, but he did not give in and would never back down.
So Liu Biao and Yuan Shu had a conflict, formed a bond, and even swords faced each other. Liu Biao asked Cai Mao to lead a heavy army to be stationed in Xinye, threatening and preventing Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was not to be outdone in the northwest of Xinye (Zhang Xiu had defeated Cao Cao here, and it was also a strategically important place) also sent his henchmen Ji Ling, Li Feng and others to lead the army to confront Cai Mao's army from afar, and the surrounding counties in Xinye were also heavily armed, and the war was also imminent.
To say that the tearing between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao happened relatively suddenly, it is reasonable. After Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang, he wanted to occupy the entire territory of Jingzhou in one go, this guy has always regarded Jingzhou as his own back garden, and he has long wanted to take the entire territory of Jingzhou into his pocket, but he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to come to the bottom of the kettle and appoint Liu Biao as the assassin of Jingzhou. However, Dong Zhuo didn't expect that he was crooked, Liu Biao successfully gained a foothold in Jingzhou, and began to restrict the development of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu saw that the cooked duck had already flown away, how could he be willing! picked up the guy and started with Liu Biao.
With the support of Jingzhou celebrities Kuailiang, Kuai Yue brothers, Cai Mao and other powerful families in Jingzhou, they decisively sent troops, and the battle between the two sides was carried out in a small area, crackling a few small fights, Yuan Shu did not take advantage of anything, and the brothers had a draw.
Yuan Shu saw that Liu Biao was also a character that was not easy to mess with, so he put away his arrogant attitude, gradually turned to restraint, and decisively stopped the offensive posture against Liu Biao, and the two sides entered a state of confrontation from the stage of small friction. It's not that Yuan Shu feels that he can't do Liu Biao, but that the weather vane of public opinion in the world has changed, and the Kwantung Coalition Army led by the Yuan brothers has been fighting for a year, but it has no size, but it has lost again and again, and he is afraid of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, so he stops and waits, and does not dare to move forward.
Everyone in the world said that the reason why the Yuan brothers did not dare to enter the army was because they were afraid of Dong Zhuo and in order to preserve their strength.
The mouth of the world is the sharpest knife. People like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who are famous in big families, cherish their reputation the most, and never allow others to tarnish their reputation.
If you can't fight back, you can't scold back, it's not the style of the Yuan brothers, since you have already raised troops, then attack.
After some discussion, the Yuan brothers decided to show their swords and immediately attack Luoyang and attack the Xiliang army, so that Dong Zhuo could taste the power of the Yuan brothers.
