Sun Jian led the army and now camped next to Rushui, forty or fifty miles southeast of Liang County, almost forty or fifty miles away from the position of the original pioneer Cheng Pu.

Originally, Sun Jian wanted to take the army into the county seat of Liangxian County, rectify it, and then continue to the northeast, first pull out Yangcheng, the outer stronghold of the Western Liang Army in Luoyang, and then attack Luoyang.

Now the shape has changed, and its vanguard Cheng Pu was defeated by Zhang Liao, the general of the Western Liang army. And Dong Bai, the commander of the Luoyang side of the Western Liang Army, set up the camp east of Liang County, and gave himself a war letter, asking for a decisive battle. As a figure who has been famous for many years, how can he be afraid of a yellow-mouthed son who has not dried up.

Since Sun Jian started his army from Luyang, he has always received the attention of people all over the world.

In order to prove his strength to the people of the world, Sun Jian had to defeat the main force of the Western Liang army on the frontal battlefield in order to attack Luoyang along the north, so as to lead his troops westward and welcome back the Son of Heaven.

If you gather nearly 100,000 people, but still lose on the frontal battlefield, or don't even dare to face the challenge of a yellow-mouthed child, wouldn't it make the world laugh.

Moreover, Sun Jian's current lord Yuan Shu also very much hopes that Sun Jian can defeat the Xiliang Army head-on, so as to prove the extraordinary strength of his Yuan family.

Sun Jian knew that the qiē he currently owned had a great relationship with Yuan Shu, and his current interests were consistent with Yuan Shu's interests, which was also the premise of Sun Jian's participation in Yuan Shu.

Sun Jian thought about it again and again, but decided to lead his troops to the northeast and prepare for a decisive battle with the Western Liang Army led by Dong Bai in the east of Liang County.

At the same time, Sun Jian also sneered, in Sun Jian's opinion, the reason why Dong Bai dared to invite him to fight a decisive battle east of Liang County was to take advantage of the terrain characteristics that its terrain was suitable for the Western Liang cavalry to fight, how could he not know.

However, in Sun Jian's opinion, Dong Bai Xiao'er was too happy, because he had already found some ways to crack the Xiliang cavalry, and it would be interesting to see who would kill the deer.

Dong Shouye also studied with his generals whether Sun Jian would fight a decisive battle east of Liang County according to his own thoughts, and everyone thought that the possibility was very high.

Sure enough, on the second day, he received a report from the rangers and horses, and most of Sun Jian's army had already set up camp about forty miles away from Dong Shouye, and Sun Jian also sent someone to send a letter agreeing to Dong Shouye's request.

However, Sun Jian was quite heroic and generous, and did not care about the other party's provocative actions with a junior like Dong Shouye, but praised Dong Shouye in his heart, and he couldn't find any words like provocation and insult.

Of course, in Dong Shouye's opinion, the more the other party can calm down, it means that the opponent is more difficult.

From this point of view, the decisive battle between the two armies is not far off.

In the past few days, Dong Shouye has also been making various preparations in the army to meet the upcoming decisive battle between the two armies. The outcome of a war can be expressed in just a few words, but in a war, all kinds of preparations, all kinds of trivial logistical handling, form judgments, and intelligence analysis of the warring parties are massive and complex!

Fortunately, Xu Rong, an experienced battlefield veteran, served as Dong Shouye's deputy to assist Dong Shouye. So when this thing experienced such a big battle for the first time, it would not be in a hurry.

In Dong Shouye's opinion, Xu Rong is a generous elder, and he is meticulous in his work, and he is a very good battlefield teacher, about which his cheap son Dong Zhuo has also emphasized to him many times.

Xu Rong is one of Dong Zhuo's most relied on generals, in Dong Shouye's view, Xu Rong's status in the heart of his cheap son Dong Zhuo is probably second only to his son-in-law Niu Fu, or even higher than Niu Fu, which can be seen after Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, the big and small wars in Luoyang are presided over by Xu Rong.

Of course, Xu Rong's ability is beyond doubt.

Sometimes Dong Shouye even feels that if this decisive battle is handed over to Xu Rong to preside over it, I am afraid that the effect will be better, of course, this can only be thought about in my heart, and I can't say it, after all, countless people now have high hopes for Dong Shouye, not just his cheap son Dong Zhuo, or some other people close to Dong Shouye.

This is often the case with big things in the world, and everything happens without you knowing.

There are countless people in the world watching the outcome of this big war, and countless people are guessing about the outcome of this big war.

And this qiē is no longer important to Dong Shouye.

The most important thing is that Dong Shouye will do his best to win this decisive battle, presumably Sun Jian, who is dozens of miles away from Dong Shouye, also thinks so, this is also a kind of hero who sees the same thing!

In Dong Shouye's view, Sun Jian is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding generals of this era, and he is still just a small role, an obscure but hugely influential small role.

Before I knew it, it was the tenth day of the first month of February, and Dong Shouye led his soldiers and horses to meet Sun Jian. Dong Shouye thought privately: "I don't know if there is such a thing as the old yellow calendar now, and I don't know if today is suitable for travel and warfare." ”

So he smiled self-deprecatingly and sped up his horse.

Eventually, the two armies arrived at their intended battlefield, and each side had archers on each side come forward to shoot their positions.

Dong Shouye drove his horse to the front of the two armies, followed by Dian Wei on the left and Zhang Liao on the right, but he was not worried about his own safety. Dong Shouye moved his butt on top of the mount, and then gave Dian Wei a look.

Dian Wei drove his horse forward, and then shouted loudly: "General Beizhong Lang of the Great Han Dynasty and Commander of the Xiyuan Army, Captain Dong Bai, please ask Wu Chenghou, General Poyu, and Sun Jian, the assassin of Yuzhou, to come forward and talk. ”

After saying it twice, he didn't delay, regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, he immediately drove the mount to turn around and return to Dong Shouye's back.

Sun Jian is also resolute and heroic, confident of bravery, and does not talk nonsense, following Cheng Pu and Huang Gai on the left and right, driving the mount, coming to the front of the formation, and stopping at a distance of about fifty meters from Dong Shouye.

The two sides are shaking and facing each other.

After Dong Shouye saw Sun Jian coming to the front of the battle, he had a smile on his face and an expression of inadequacy. I saw that this guy was the first to clasp his fists and salute: "Junior Dong Bai, I have seen Uncle Sun." ”

When Sun Jian saw it, he didn't understand what the situation was, he had never seen a general of this kind of road. In front of the two armies, after the commanders of the two armies meet, don't they usually scold each other first, and each condemns the other party's great rebellion?

How can anyone come up and salute each other with a smile, isn't this the first to fall into their own prestige?

I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I said very helplessly: "General Dong is polite, you and I are enemies on the battlefield, and we don't talk about personal friendship." ”
