Chapter Ninety-Five: Changes in the Situation
Time passed day by day, as a veteran who has been on the battlefield for twenty or thirty years, Zhu Jun is calm. He wandered around Xingyang City every day, dealing with various affairs and arranging various defensive work. Sometimes, after the things are done, I will drink a few glasses of wine to treat myself, in short, I don't fight, and I cower in Xingyang City like a turtle.
Dong Shouye also sent men and horses to try to attack the other party's grain route, but it didn't work, because Zhu Jun's fine work and sentinels formed a large intelligence network, as long as Dong Shouye made a move, the other party could know immediately. Moreover, Dong Shouye was not sure that even if his own troops passed through Zhu Jun's blockade and reached Zhu Jun's back, the other party's men and horses would appear behind the Kwantung Coalition Army. Therefore, Dong Shouye is also very passive, he desperately hopes that Zhu Jun can take the initiative to attack him like Sun Jian, and when the time comes, he will fight a defensive counterattack.
Now the two sides are very tacit, and they are busy with each other every day, and it seems that no one cares about the other, but everyone knows that once they relax a little, they will attract a thunderous attack from the other party.
Dong Shouye can calm down, and Jia Xu can also calm down, but the arrogant soldiers and generals under Dong Shouye don't have the good temper of their own son-in-law, and after a period of silence, they can no longer bear it, and they have asked Dong Shouye to fight. Dong Shouye still ordered those who went out to fight without authorization to be killed, so that the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals were full of anger, but there was no place to vent, and no one dared to disobey Dong Shouye's military orders.
Since Dong Shouye led the troops at the end of the sixth year of Zhongping (189 AD), he has always emphasized only one point, that is, discipline, discipline, discipline. In the past few years, there have been many people who have violated Dong Shouye's military orders, but they have all been chopped up by Dong Shouye, and many people have interceded for those who have violated military law, but unfortunately Dong Shouye has never been extrajudicially gracious. However, Dong Shouye did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and those who disobeyed his military law had a place to die. At the same time, Dong Shouye is a man of words, and the rewards promised to his subordinates have always been implemented to the letter, so although his military law is strict, he is still loved and supported by the majority of soldiers. In addition, since the soldiers under his command have been winning consecutive battles since they followed Dong Shouye, Dong Shouye's majesty is more and more inoffensive. Winning battles is the greatest way to increase the cohesion of an army, and the troops that continue to win battles are the favorite troops of the soldiers. Everyone has a heroic dream, and everyone wants to be able to follow a hero and build a career. And Dong Shouye's image gradually began to coincide with the hero in the eyes of his subordinates.
Now that Dong Shouye's military orders are issued, even if the soldiers under his command have big complaints, they have to implement Dong Shouye's military orders 100 percent. The so-called military orders are like a mountain, and this is the case, and there is no room for negotiation in the slightest. Therefore, the current situation in Dong Shouye's army is: it is the dragon you coil for me, and the tiger you lie down for me. Dong Shouye's military orders are the only guide for his actions.
However, Dong Shouye knew that no matter how long the two sides confronted each other here, there would eventually be a day when there would be a war, and Dong Shouye felt that this day would come soon.
Just when Dong Shouye was still outside the Tiger Prison Pass and Zhu Jun of Xingyang City, Zhu Jun didn't know who he was fighting against, because Dong Shouye had been playing Xu Rong's banner recently in order to hide people's eyes, and his banner was not shown at all.
The two goods were in a stalemate for nearly a month, and the shape of the shì near Luoyang changed again.
It turned out that since Sun Jian's buddy was defeated by Dong Shouye in the east of Liang County, he fled frantically all the way, and then encountered Xu Huang's chasing troops, and the soul of the chased and killed was scattered. Fortunately, Sun Jian still had some luck, and God still favored him, allowing him to escape Xu Huang's pursuit.
After Sun Jian escaped from the tiger's mouth, he lurked for a few days in the triangle area where Rushui and Shuishui intersected, and successively collected a day of defeated troops, and his generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others also joined Sun Jian, and Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing also led some of his subordinates to look for Sun Jian everywhere and successfully rendezvous with Sun Jian.
After learning from Sun Jing that Sun Ce, Sun Ben, and Sun Sheng's little brothers did not throw away the county seat of Liangxian County, Sun Jian discussed with the people under his command and decided to return to the county seat of Liangxian County to meet with his sons and nephews in the city before making plans.
So, the group of people anxiously felt that the county seat of Liangxian County, at this time Sun Ce finally played his outstanding role as a generation of heroes, after the defeat Sun Ce got the news in the county, he has been leading his corporal to guard the city gate, not to let anyone who can enter and leave the city gate. Because its defense was still quite tight, Xu Huang felt that his 2,000 cavalry could not capture the city along the way, so he chose to leave. When Sun Ce confirmed many times that there were no soldiers and horses around, he began to collect the defeated soldiers, and then actively sent people to find his lost father Sun Jian and uncle Sun Jing. After a few days, Sun Jian was not found, but he got news from Sun Jing, so he actively contacted Sun Jing and asked Sun Jing to return to Liangxian County to preside over the overall situation.
After Sun Jing arrived in the county seat of Liangxian County, he began to collect defeated soldiers and soldiers on a large scale, after all, Sun Jing is Sun Jian's younger brother, although his ability is not as good as Sun Jian, but he is also a rare general, at this time he is much more experienced than the fledgling hairy boy Sun Ce. Under his auspices, things in the county seat of Liangxian County became orderly, and Sun Ce's previous actions were checked and filled. As a result, the county seat of Liangxian County quickly settled down, the wounded were effectively treated, and more and more people gathered. After that, Sun Ce and other juniors were not worried about Sun Jian, and they were clamoring to go out to find Sun Jian, Sun Jing was not worried about letting these juniors go out on an adventure, so he still asked Sun Ce to take Sun Ben and Sun Sheng to continue to stay in the county, and he took a team of people out to find Sun Jian.
After Sun Jing found his brother Sun Jian near Rushui, he reported the situation in Liangxian County to Sun Jian, praised Sun Ce in front of Sun Jian, and then returned with his brother.
After Sun Jian returned to Liangxian County with everyone, the father and son and brothers saw each other, and they sighed as if they were separated from each other. At this time, after synthesizing various intelligence and news, Sun Jian finally confirmed that his Changshi Gong was killed by Zhang Liao's battle array, and died on the battlefield, and Li Min, the Taishou of Yingchuan, was captured by Xu Huang, and was finally beheaded for public display. Seeing the tragic death of his brothers and siblings at the hands of the enemy, Sun Jian was indignant and vowed to avenge the death of his brothers in battle.
But now that Sun Jian's troops are outnumbered, a rash attack can only be a dead end, so he can only choose to be patient for the time being and wait for the opportunity.
So Sun Jian continued to collect the defeated troops in the county seat of Liangxian.
