Chapter 3 Garrison Luyang

However, it was said that after Sun Jian was defeated by the Tiger Prison, he could only continue to collect soldiers with the help of his master Yuan Shu, in order to make a comeback.

With the support of Yuan Shu, Sun Jian quickly gathered seven or eight thousand fleeing soldiers, and returned to Nanyang, taking some of the people he stayed in Nanyang with him, and there were more than 10,000 people at once, and the Yuzhou area became famous for many people, and it was not a problem to conscript or something. In less than three or four months, less than 30,000 people and horses were gathered, so with the approval of Yuan Shu, the soldiers and horses were stationed in Luyang, training day and night, and preparing to do it again.

This time, Sun Jian learned shrewdly and knew how deep the water of the Yuan family was, so he began to be not as bullish as before, and he asked his master Yuan Shu for more instructions, asked for more advice, was obedient a lot, and was extremely well-behaved, and won Yuan Shu's trust.

This Yuan Shu treated Sun Jian like flying a kite, Sun Jian ran too fast, rushed too fiercely, and when he wanted to get out of the control of his master, Yuan Shu made a little bad, stumbled a little, and pulled the string that tied the kite.

As soon as Sun Jian found out that the master had pulled the thread, he immediately became honest.

Before Yuan Shaofeng Sun Jian as the vanguard officer of the coalition army is a typical example, after Sun Jian was appointed at that time, he was happy and upside down, all the way forward, dare to fight and fight in the Tiger Prison Pass and Huaxiong is inseparable, and can be slightly better, and beheaded Huaxiong's deputy general Zhao Cen, which is the biggest result of the battle between the Kwantung Coalition Army and the Western Liang Army. Here, Yuan Shu saw that his subordinates were working so hard to carry out the orders of his elder brother Yuan Shao, and he was immediately unhappy, and immediately cut off food for Sun Jian's troops, so that Sun Jian could remember more and know who was his master.

After Sun Jian's grain was defeated, he really became honest and obedient. So the master and servant got back together, and Yuan Shu asked Sun Jian to give people money, money, food, and food, and fully supported him, and he was a good lord of the standard; Sun Jian has also become an obedient and good general, daring to fight and make more contributions to his master.

To say that Sun Jian's ability can also be ranked in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, his ambition is also a bit large. I also want to toss a little bit of a big move, make some great contributions, and achieve a career, whether it is attached to Yuan Shu or the later capture of Luoyang. So the overall situation is that he wants to get rid of Yuan Shu's control, but he relies on Yuan Shu's support very much, and in general, he relies on Yuan Shu, or needs more support.

The relationship between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian is like the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the early days. Both were attached to the second Yuan in the early stage, and the second Yuan also fully supported it, sparing no effort, but later Cao Cao successfully occupied Yanzhou and then welcomed Emperor Han Xian, which successfully broke away from Yuan Shao's control, and Sun Jian was not able to get rid of Yuan Shu's control until his death, until his son Sun Ce, because Yuan Shu was the biggest bird in the world, the first to call the emperor, Cao Cao led the princes of the world to attack it, the power was greatly damaged, and the people rebelled and left, Sun Ce successfully broke away from Yuan Shu's control. Begin a completely unfettered independent development.

It is said that since Cao Cao failed to pursue Dong Zhuo and returned defeated, he was laughed at by the princes of Kwantung. And public opinion in the world gradually rose to reprimand the two Yuan brothers for stationing troops and watching, only caring about preserving their strength, and unwilling to do their best to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers were forced by the pressure of public opinion to lead troops to fight in order to block the mouths of the people of the world. So Yuan Shao sent Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, who was interested in attaching himself, to lead 20,000 horses to Heyangjin on the north bank of the Yellow River, threatening Luoyang and waiting for an opportunity to cross the river and attack Luoyang. And Yuan Shu also sent the general Sun Jian to lead nearly 30,000 horses in Luyang.

This time, the troops stationed in Luyang were to wait for an opportunity to attack the Dagu Pass, Xuanyuan Pass, Yiyun Pass and other important passes on the south side of Luoyang, and they were ready to knock on the pass and go north at any time to attack Luoyang. Yuan Shu's deployment to Sun Jian was a big fanfare and a vigorous one, so that everyone in the world knew that as the leading figure among the Kwantung princes, he had sent the general Sun Jian to prepare to fight the Xiliang army at any time.

The deployment in private was just for Sun Jian to put on a show, not to attack at will and damage his strength, after all, the Xiliang Army is not easy to mess with. And Sun Jian is also very reluctant, wanting to be able to do a big job without restraint, defeat the Xiliang army, and let the world see his martial arts.

After Dong Zhuo received the news of Sun Jian's resurrection and Lu Yang, he also immediately sent his righteous son Lu Bu to support, and was defending against Hu Zhen, the Zhonglang general on the south side of Luoyang. Dong Shouye originally wanted to go by himself, but he couldn't do everything himself, so he had to give others a little room to play. This handsome guy Lu Bulu is out of the horse, so what else can be the problem. This Dong Shouye's history of Sun Jiantun's soldiers in Luoyang is not very clear, and he is in blind trust in the handsome guy Lu, so he didn't take it to heart.

This handsome guy Lu has been doing ghost blowing lamps at the imperial mausoleum near Luoyang City before, and he is very happy and busy. Although the handsome guy Lu is reluctant to do this kind of work, after all, there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in Xiliang, and people need money everywhere to eat and feed them.

Besides, if you don't dig this thing, there will be others digging it in the future, and Cao Cao in the future is also a master of tomb robbing, and he has also set up a special post for the great cause of tomb robbery.

Although the handsome guy Lu didn't want to do it, he had to do it. After finishing the work, he obtained a lot of gold and silver treasures, all of which were dedicated to Dong Zhuo as military expenses. After returning to Chang'an, I can finally stay away from the loess that I faced all day long some time ago, and I am also very happy in my heart. But as a warlike warrior warrior, he didn't fight, he was idle at home, and he had nothing to do, which was worse than killing him.

The opportunity finally came, as the father-in-law of the handsome brother Lu, Dong Zhuo, ordered the handsome brother Lu to go to the front line in Luoyang to support Hu Zhen, this is good, after the handsome brother Lu received the battle order, he was so happy that he jumped three feet high, pulled his own people, and went to the vicinity of Luoyang to support Hu Zhen after handing over some of the necessary grain and grass.

Since Hu Zhen was appointed by Dong Zhuo as the Zhonglang general and the leader of the Eastern County Taishou, he also wanted to throw off his arms and do a great job. Under his hands, he also led the elite troops of the Xiliang Army with more than 10,000 people, and he was full of confidence. The Xiliang Army, as a frontier garrison that has repeatedly fought with the border Qianghu in the frontier, is naturally better at attacking and field battles, after all, the Xiliang Qianghu are mostly cavalry, not good at field battles, that is not good, if you have been cowering in the city, then you will not be able to achieve any decent results, at most the Hu people retreat after running out of food, and Dong Zhuo's troops do not have a record of retreating in the city passively, they have always been active in combat, actively looking for fighters to destroy the enemy.

Hu Zhen, as one of the five major lieutenant generals in the Xiliang Army (Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Duan Wei, Dong Yue, Hu Zhen), naturally has always adhered to the combat style of the Xiliang Army, and has always taken the initiative to attack, but he will not do anything to shrink in the city and defend passively.

Hu Zhen heard that Sun Jian was angry in Luyang, and he made a big show that he wanted to kill himself, but he was also very unconvinced, and wanted to meet Sun Jian and distinguish himself from Sun Jian. To say that the two have also crossed paths before, before in the second year of Zhongping (185 AD), Sikong Zhang Wen was named the general of the chariot cavalry, led the general Zhou Shen and the general Dong Zhuo to pacify the rebellion of the Xiliang Bianqiang led by Beigong Boyu, Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others, Sun Jian and Tao Qian were both subordinates of Zhang Wen and followed Zhang Wen to participate in the battle, at that time Sun Jian repeatedly spoke disrespectfully to Dong Zhuo, and also built yƬ Zhang Wen to kill Dong Zhuo to correct the military law, Hu Zhen as a general under Dong Zhuo was naturally resentful of Sun Jian's move, I can't wait to kill Sun Jian immediately to vent my anger for my lord Dong Zhuo. Now that Sun Jian has started trouble in Luyang again, Hu Zhen is naturally furious, and vows to give Sun Jian some color and give Sun Jian some bloody lessons.

So, Hu Zhen led more than 10,000 foot riders under his command and marched in the direction of Luyang, preparing to attack Sun Jian. The army galloped to Luyang City day and night, preparing to take Luyang by surprise and kill Sun Jian in one fell swoop. On this day, the 500 light cavalry of the vanguard was already under the city, ready to attack at any time.

At this time, Sun Jian was outside the east gate of Luyang City, setting up a banquet for his long history of public enmity, which was not long ago from Nanyang to escort some grain and grass to Sun Jian. The public feud said that it was Sun Jian's master, Yuan Shu, who sent Sun Jian to make a long history, and he was also Yuan Shu's henchman, Sun Jian was naturally polite to him, and the courtesy was thoughtful, which made people impeccable.

Here, Sun Jian saw that the light cavalry had arrived in the distance, and he did not panic, when nothing happened, he continued to drink and feast, and secretly ordered not to move. This Sun Jian is also a master of the arts, bold, without fear, with a relaxed expression, talking and laughing with the people under his hands, and not taking the troops not far away to heart at all.

Hu Zhen's subordinates on this side immediately attacked, taking advantage of the situation, killing Sun Jian and seizing the city gate. Hu Zhen was frightened by Sun Jian's composure at this critical time, thinking that the news of leading the army to attack had leaked, Sun Jian had set up an ambush circle waiting for him, just waiting for himself to jump into the fire pit dug by Sun Jian, and remembered that his lord had praised Sun Jian's extraordinary ability in front of many generals of the Xiliang Army, which should not be underestimated, so he was even more hesitant in his heart, and did not dare to make a decision.

Hu Zhen led five hundred light horsemen to hesitate outside the east gate of Luyang City, neither ordering an attack nor a retreat. At this time, Hu Zhen was like constipation, not up or down, and uncomfortable. Not long after, the large army behind has also arrived, whether to fight or retreat, just in Hu Zhen's thoughts, Sun Jian saw that the large army led by Hu Zhen had arrived, and he didn't dare to continue to pretend to be forced at the moment, so he put away the banquet, commanded the surrounding officials, generals and dozens of soldiers, and slowly retreated into the city.
