Chapter Ninety-Six: Hu Zhen

Fortunately, there were Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuangtun soldiers in Heyangjin, making the appearance of crossing the river, so that Dong Shouye was always worried about the situation in the north of Luoyang, and was anxious to rush to Luoyang to stabilize the situation in the north of Luoyang.

So in terms of killing Sun Jian's defeated army, he was a little lax, did not send too many soldiers and horses, and did not delay too much time in this matter, so he hurriedly led the men and horses north, thus giving Sun Jian a breath of relief.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Jian also gathered more than 13,000 people in the county seat of Liang County. So Sun Jian took these horses to actively train in the county seat of Liangxian County, restore morale, and plot to make a comeback.

At this time, Hu Zhen, the general of the Xiliang Army, was stationed in Yangcheng, and Dong Shouye left him in Yangcheng, on the one hand, Hu Zhen's appointment was from Dong Zhuo, Dong Shouye's father, and Dong Shouye, as a son, it was not convenient to change his father's military orders. In terms of interests, Dong Shouye could not find a suitable candidate to replace Hu Zhen in Yangcheng.

Therefore, Hu Zhen stayed where he was. Originally, before Dong Shouye left, he instructed Hu Zhen, hoping that he could be responsible for the killing of Sun Jian's remnants, and the other was to ensure that Yangcheng was not lost. At that time, although Dong Shouye had a secret order to control the army, Dong Shouye had never chosen to use it, and when Jia Xu knew that Dong Shouye had a secret token, he also advised Dong Shouye not to use it, even if he wanted to use it, he tried to use it at a critical juncture.

Therefore, Dong Shouye did not give a compulsory order to Hu Zhen, but instead adopted an attitude of friendly consultation. Of course, Hu Zhen can do the position of a first-line general under Dong Zhuo's command, be responsible for all aspects of affairs, and stand alone, such a person will not be a fool, so he has always been respectful to Dong Shouye, the son of the lord, and let him be dispatched. Because of the mutual respect between the two sides, things are much easier to deal with, and through this period of time, Dong Shouye also recognizes Hu Zhen's ability.

However, due to the relatively short time they have been together, Dong Shouye can only have a general understanding of Hu Zhen, so his understanding of his character is only superficial. Hu Zhen has a relatively impatient personality, and Dong Shouye did not find out. In fact, this is also to blame Dong Shouye, no matter how anxious Hu Zhen's personality is, he has to be respectful when he meets Dong Shouye, and he doesn't dare to be anxious about Dong Shouye. Moreover, it is impossible for a person like Xu Rong to sow discord in front of Dong Shouye and speak ill of Hu Zhen. As a result, Dong Shouye did not discover Hu Zhen's fatal character trait.

After Hu Zhen led the army to leave with Dong Shouye, he rested his troops in his Yangcheng.

It can be said that Hu Zhen contributed a lot in this battle, and there were no reservations. In this battle, Hu Zhen led 5,000 infantry and cavalry, including 2,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry.

After the battle, the cavalry lost more than 1,000, almost half of the cavalry, and the infantry also lost more than 1,000 people, overall, more than half of the casualties. In fact, if Hu Zhen chose to have reservations about Dong Shouye, the losses of his cavalry would be greatly reduced.

But he didn't, when the left wing cavalry was holding the opponent's spear array, Dian Wei brought Dong Shouye's order to Hu Zhen and Li Meng to let them choose the suicidal style of cavalry collision, and even the big man with more than 1,000 catties of men and horses collided with it, which was no different from a tank crushing the infantry, and Hu Zhen, as the chief general of the left wing cavalry at that time, could choose to let the men and horses under Li Meng's command rush forward with the death squad, but he did not do this, but used his own men and horses in the selection of dead soldiers.

Therefore, after Dong Shouye knew this, he took a look at Hu Zhen even more.

After Hu Zhen rested in Yangcheng, he began to complete the things that Dong Shouye had given him, and began to prepare to kill the remnants of Sun Jian's army. So he carried out a dragnet screening near the original battlefield, and as a result, he really captured more than a thousand defeated soldiers wandering around.

Sun Jian continued to send meticulous work and spies out to inquire about the news in the county seat of Liangxian County, and finally learned that Dong Shouye had led the army to leave, and now Hu Zhen was staying in Yangcheng. After hearing the news, Sun Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Dong Bai's bad stomach was finally gone.

After Sun Jian suffered a loss from Dong Shouye, he scolded the other party for being cunning, but he was helpless about it, and then he was defeated by this person, his ambition became empty in an instant, and his enthusiasm for serving the country was like a burning fire, but it was like being extinguished by Dong Shouye with a basin of cold water. At that time, Sun Jian was not Dong Shouye's opponent at the time of his heyday, and now Sun Jian has lost his troops and lost his morale, how can he dare to face Dong Shouye.

However, Sun Jian is Sun Jian, as one of the great gods in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, how could he be defeated by someone and defeated by Dong Shouye, in Sun Jian's opinion, it was just a small setback. Sun Jian is now winning a victory to restore his morale and his confidence. The current Dong Shouye and Sun Jian can't bite in a short period of time, so only Dong Shouye's subordinate Hu Zhen will come to the knife.

Therefore, Sun Jian actively collected information about Hu Zhen, including his personality characteristics, daily preferences, etc., anyway, as long as there is news about Hu Zhen, Sun Jian has to take a look. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles. Now Sun Jian is arming himself with the words of his ancestor Sun Tzu (Sun Jian claims to be the descendant of the soldier saint Sun Wu).

God treats Sun Jian well and helps him realize his wishes, or provides Sun Jian with the possibility to realize his wishes.

Dong Shouye once said in front of the whole army that he hoped that he could successfully kill Sun Jian. This matter was very close to success, but Xu Huang's men were a little worried in a cemetery full of tombs in the dark night, found Sun Jian's red curtain on the tombstone, and heard the sound of someone jumping into the river, in this case, no one wanted to stay longer, so it was determined that Sun Jian jumped into the river, and it was very likely that he was frozen to death.

As a result, after Xu Huang heard the report of his subordinates, he sent someone to investigate, but he still found no trace of Sun Jian, and agreed with the judgment of his subordinates, so he handed over Sun Jian's red silk to Dong Shouye. After Dong Shouye received Xu Huang's report, although he was suspicious, he didn't particularly care, after all, how could someone like Sun Jian be killed lightly, plus Luoyang urgently needed his own support, and the matter of killing Sun Jian would be over.

Although this matter is no longer over when it comes to Dong Shouye, it has just begun here at Hu Zhen. As a qualified dog, you must share the worries of the master, worry about the master's worries, and worry about the master's needs. Therefore, Hu Zhen will continue to hunt down Sun Jian and kill Sun Jian to curry favor with Dong Shouye.

Hu Zhen's loyalty is good, but the result may not necessarily develop in its intended direction.
