68 Battle of Sun Jian. Defeated and retreated to Nanyang

At this time, Yuan Shu was furious in the county government of Lu County, which was temporarily used as an official residence.

He has been leading the army to garrison Lu County, confidently waiting for the good news of Sun Jian's army, countless times imagining, one day soon Ma Lai, the general Sun Jian led the army to defeat the Xiliang army, the first to break through the Yique Pass, into Luoyang, at that moment, how complacent he should be, what a hero.

Especially the son of a cheap maid who regards himself as a celebrity and a leader of the party, and the cheap brother of his own family, I am afraid that his jaw will fall to the ground.

For this day, Yuan Shu invested almost all of his capital, not only acquiescing and instigating Sun Jian to force Jingzhou Mu Wang Rui to death, killing Nanyang Taishou Zhang Shi, annexing their subordinates, but also handing over the Yuzhou soldiers in his hands to him.

It was Yuzhou Mu Kong Ling's family background, but Yuan Shu spent a lot of effort to send Kong Ling to Huangquan Road and swallow all his family wealth in one bite.

However, just two days ago, this dream was completely shattered, and there was not even a bit of scum left, how could this not make Yuan Shu angry and thunderous.

He wanted to see his brother Yuan Shao's jokes, but now, he has become a joke of the world.

"Sun Jian, you bastard!"

Thinking of the annoyance, Yuan Shusheng roared hoarsely, grabbed the exquisite porcelain vase that had just been placed on the table, and threw it away in anger.

Blocking the way of the vase was Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Shu's account, who quietly flashed to the side, letting the vase smash against the wall with a loud bang.

But it was such an action that once again provoked Yuan Shu to be furious, pointed at Ji Ling, and roared angrily: "You bastard, you still dare to hide?" How dare you hide! ”

Ji Ling stood there helplessly, not daring to move, allowing Yuan Shu to rush in front of him, grabbed his collar with one hand, pointed at the tip of his nose with the other, and scolded angrily: "Tell me, I handed you so many soldiers, why did you return in defeat without even reaching Yique Pass, and even the 30,000 army was killed and scattered?" You say, you say, you say, what the hell is going on......"

The spit stars splashed Ji Ling's head all over his face, but he still had a smile on his face, and he didn't even dare to blink his eyelids, let alone raise his hand to wipe it.

Xu was so roaring and screaming, he vented greatly, Yuan Shu's face softened a little, no longer as twisted and terrifying as just now, his right hand changed from pulling to patting, and Ji Ling's collar was crumpled by him, and his left hand patted Ji Ling's shoulder twice, turned around and walked away angrily.

Ji Ling was immediately so moved that he almost burst into tears from his eyes.

He has experienced similar scolding many times, but just like a group of colleagues half-joking in private, he can be scolded by the little grandfather, that is, he trusts you and looks up to you, I don't know how many people want to be scolded by the little grandfather, but they can't get it.

When Yuan Shu returned to the main seat and sat down, Changshi Yang Hong coughed lightly, stepped forward, and said: "The general is angry, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Wentai has always been proud of his martial arts, his subordinates are fierce, there is no one in his eyes, and he is unruly, and it may not be a good thing for him to be defeated by this." Now that the army under the general's account has not moved, it is just the right opportunity to retreat to Nanyang and consolidate it as a foundation, and at the same time run Yuzhou and plot Jingyang. Wentai is now defeated and returned, why not show him as the ...... of Yuzhou Shepherd"

"What? He was defeated and returned, and if he did not punish him, it was already the grace of the general, how could he be promoted again? ”

Yang Hong turned his head to look at Bo Li Feng, the lord who spoke out strongly against it, and explained confidently: "This time, that time. Wentai is a brave general, outstanding reputation, before the army, Hong opposed him as Yuzhou pastor, because at that time Wentai under the strong soldiers and horses, so unruly, so it must be suppressed. And now that he has lost his troops and lost his sharpness and arrogance, he shows grace at this time, which can make him return to his heart. Yuzhou Kong Ling has just died, and his subordinates are doing their own thing, so it is appropriate for a capable official like Wentai to go and treat him. When the general consolidates Nanyang, and then expresses Wentai as his post, he can logically take over Yuzhou, why not? ”

Everyone was silent, Yang Hong's idea was indeed a righteous and bright plan, driving Sun Jian to be the forerunner, to take Yuzhou for Yuan Shu, and after the matter was completed, find a way to kick him away, this deal is indeed worth doing.

Silence is acquiescence, Yuan Shu saw that everyone had no opinion, although he was still very unhappy in his heart, but when he thought of such a big piece of fat in Yuzhou, it was indeed necessary for a capable official to gnaw it down, and if he couldn't gnaw it down, he couldn't damage his roots, so he immediately suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, nodded and clapped: "Well, okay, just do it." Ji Ling led the army to garrison the palace of Lu County, and the Xiliang army arrived, and returned to Nanyang. Let Sun Jian take a good bath and change clothes, I want to see him. ”

Everyone agreed, and Yang Hong hurriedly said again: "The general of the chariot cavalry sent an envoy to supervise the payment of grain and wages in Nanyang and Yuzhou, and the general ......"

"I am short of food, where else can I have food to pay for sour dates?!"

Yuan Shu became angry again, roared, and only calmed down a little after half a sound, and said angrily: "Sun Jian is defeated, all the grain and grass are lost, and Yuzhou ......?"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shu groaned again, his eyes rolled, his cunning flashed, and he commanded in a deep voice: "The county guards ......, well, let's hand it over to Sun Jian and deal with it properly." ”

"Whoa!"

Yang Hong comprehended and promised loudly, but what he was thinking about was how to confess to Sun Jian in private, so that he could understand the subtleties here.

However, Yang Hong relied on his understanding of Sun Jian, and clearly knew that once he was in charge of Yuzhou and collected the grain and salary, he would definitely not rely on the truth that all the money was delivered to the sour dates.

Compared with the oppressive atmosphere in Luyang, Liang County was still immersed in the joy after the victory at this time.

Li Wei ordered the army to rest for three days, and then set the stop, and also lavishly rewarded the army, adding to the celebration.

The defeat of Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger in the two battles, was a good start, and Li Wei was full of confidence in defeating the Kwantung rebels composed of rebellious ministers and thieves.

Especially in the battle of Liangxian, the development of things can be described as ups and downs, beyond everyone's expectations, but the result is unexpected, and it is unexpected.

Li Wei originally thought that he could force Sun Jian to return to obedience, in the confrontation between Kanto and Kansai, if Sun Jian returned to obedience, the strength of the two sides could be said to be one and the other, but under the stimulation of the death of Huang Gai and Zu Mao, who would have thought that Sun Jian would go crazy and go into battle alone.

When it comes to heads-up, there has always been a saying that "the generals of Kansai and the prime ministers of Kanto", how could the generals of Kansai ever be frightened by the generals of Kanto and even Jiangdong, and Ma Chao, a young general who is only fifteen years old, can fight against Han Dang, the general under Sun Jian's account, without falling behind at all, not to mention that even Li Dao is a little frightened and Lu Bu of Bingzhou.

In the joy after the victory, Huang Gai and Zu Mao bit their tongues and committed suicide in front of the battle, although there were some suspicions, Li Dao completely forgot about it, and never even mentioned it.

Of course, Lu Bu will not be troubled, but after this battle, he quietly raised Mrs. Guo's status in his mind a lot, because he always had a feeling that Mrs. Guo's strength was not good, but the ditches and ditches in his heart were definitely much more than those of Li Dao and generals like him.

The death of Huang Gai and Zu Mao, if there was no Guo Tai's promoter behind him, Lu Bu would not believe it. It's just that now his spy organization in Luoyang is completely blank, and if he wants to find out some inside information, except for Li Su's line, it is almost a black eye.

In the county government of Liangxian County, Li Dao held a feast, this is the fourth day, Lu Bu is as always not drunk, no matter who comes to pay respect, no matter who comes to irrigate, he is not moved at all. Fortunately, Li Dao also knows that at this moment, when the two armies are still fighting, he can't indulge in drinking and making mistakes.

But as to what to do next, everyone is more divided, mainly in Bingfa Lu County, continue to pursue Sun Jian, or the army turns to Yingchuan to attack the enemy entrenched in Yangzhai.

After discussing for a few days, everyone was arguing, and now, it was time for Li Dao to make a decision, otherwise, the army would stay in Liang County like this, and it would not be a matter if they did not advance or retreat.

After the banquet was over, the cups, dishes, and wine were removed, and the hall of the county government of Liangxian County immediately became the meeting place of the general Li Dao and the others, and all the advantages and disadvantages were placed on the table one by one again, waiting for Li Dao to decide.

In this matter, Li Dao is also quite self-aware, so as soon as he should act, he listened to the opinions of the generals under his account, and then made a decision, and pondered for a long time, he pointed to the location of Lu County on the map, and ordered: "Yuan Shu, since Sun Jian is here, of course he can't let it go, just do it, first take Lu County, and then wave the army to Yang Zhai, and then wave the army to the north, in Xingyang, and will meet the generals of the Kwantung region." ”

When it comes to the Kwantung generals, everyone laughs out loud, and because of the word Kwantung generals, it has become a synonym for the defeated generals under everyone.

Entering Yingchuan was Lu Bu's main idea, but his attention was not actually a part of the Kwantung Coalition Army entrenched in Yangzhai, but many capable ministers and strategists from Yingchuan.

But the question is, can these people be recruited?

Lu Bu's eyes were fixed on Yingchuan, and for the first time in his heart, he was full of anticipation and a deep sense of powerlessness.
