After Sun Jian launched an attack, Huang Zu led his troops to meet the battle, ambushed the archers by the river, and when he saw Sun Jian's warship coming, he immediately launched a bow and arrow, and after Sun Jian saw the situation, he asked the warship to stop moving forward, just let the empty ship advance, so that after three days, Huang Zu finally finished shooting the bow and arrows, and Sun Jian put away the arrows on the ship and collected 100,000 arrows.

happened to encounter a tailwind situation, Sun Jian sent the soldiers to fire arrows together, but Huang Zu on the shore could not support it, so he could only retreat. Sun Jian's army successfully landed on the shore, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai divided their troops into two ways, and took Huang Zu's camp directly, behind Han Dang drove the troops to come, forming a three-sided attack, Huang Zu's army was defeated like a mountain, and could only abandon Fancheng and fled to Dengcheng, Sun Jian ordered Huang Gai to hold the ship and personally lead the army to fight, Huang Zu brought the army to meet the battle, and formed a formation in the field, Sun Jian also lined up the formation, Sun Ce stood by Sun Jian's side at this time, fully armed.

Huang Zu asked two generals to come out of the battle, one was Jiangxia Zhang Hu, and the other was Xiangyang Chen Sheng, Huang Zu pointed at Sun Jian and scolded: "You Jiangdong rats, how dare you invade the territory of the Han clan, you are tired of it." "Let Zhang Hu come out and provoke.

Sun Jian asked Han Dang to come out to fight, the two intersected for twenty rounds, Chen Sheng saw that Zhang Hu was in danger, and actually rode a horse to assist, after Sun Ce saw it, he held down the gun in his hand, bent the bow and shot an arrow, which happened to hit Chen Sheng's face, Chen Sheng covered his face full of blood, and fell off the horse.

Zhang Hu was very surprised when he saw Chen Sheng's tragic situation, and soon after he was distracted, he was taken up by Han Dang's hand and cut off half of his head, Cheng Pu rode his horse and ran in the direction of Huang Zu, preparing to capture the other party alive.

Seeing this, Huang Zu hurriedly lost his helmet and war horse, mixed with the infantry to flee for his life, Sun Jian covered up the defeated army, chased to the Han River, and asked Huang Gai to drive the ship into the Han River to anchor.

Huang Zu gathered the defeated army together, went to see Liu Biao, reported the situation, and said that Sun Jian's troops were not elite, Liu Biao felt very panicked, and hurriedly found the strategist Kuai Liang to discuss.

Kuai Liang thought about the situation for a while, and said: "Now that we have lost the battle, the sergeant has no will to fight, so he can only dig some deep ditches, build high platforms for defense, avoid the opponent's edge, and then send someone to find Yuan Shao for help, this dilemma can be solved." ”

This incident made Cai Mao on the side very dissatisfied, and said: "This plan of yours is really not good, if Sun Jian's troops are under the city, but we build a city wall for defense, isn't it just captured?" I don't have any talent, but I'm willing to help and ask to fight! ”

Liu Biao agreed, so Cai Mao led an army of 10,000 people, drove to the outside of Xiangyang City, and set up a formation outside, and Sun Jian continued to attack with a victorious army.

When Cai Mao got out of the horse, Sun Jian quickly recognized it and said, "The commander in front is the younger brother of Liu Biaoxinna's wife, who of you dares to go up and help me capture him." ”

Cheng Pu advanced with a gun and engaged Cai Mao, and in less than a few rounds, Cai Mao obviously felt that he was not an opponent, so he fled back, and Sun Jian drove the army to kill, killing corpses all over the field.

Cai Mao fled back to Xiangyang, and Kuai Liang demanded that Cai Mao should be dealt with in accordance with military law on the grounds that Cai Mao did not listen to his own strategy, so it led to such a mistake, but Liu Biao was pampering his sister, so he did not follow this advice and refused to deal with it as required.

Sun Jian divided the troops into four pairs and surrounded the four directions of Xiangyang City to attack, and one day, a strong wind suddenly blew off the handsome flag of the Chinese army. After Han Dang saw it, he suggested: "This is not a good thing, we can't attack anymore, let's go back first." ”

Sun Jian was already red-eyed at this time, and was carried away by the victory, and said: "I have won many battles, and I will be able to take Xiangyang City immediately, how can I retreat because the flag was blown off by the wind?" ”

Of course, he did not follow Han Dang's advice and continued to attack Xiangyang.

Kuai Liang said to Liu Biao: "I recently saw a celestial phenomenon, there is a star falling, judging by the direction, it should be Sun Jian. The lord should write to Yuan Shao immediately and ask him to help us. ”

So Liu Biao wrote a letter to Yuan Shao and asked who dared to break through and send this letter out. A general came out and was willing to take on the burden.

Kuai Liang said: "Since you have the courage, you can listen to me, send you five hundred soldiers and horses, bring more arrows to rush out, and when you arrive at Benhyeon Mountain, he will definitely bring the army over, you can divide a hundred people on the mountain, find some stones to prepare, a hundred people are ambushed in the forest, and when there are pursuers, you can not go in a straight line, but circle forward, lead to the ambush place, and then shoot the stones and bows and arrows together." If you can win, you can fire a cannon, if you can't, don't fire a cannon, and leave, the moon shouldn't be very bright tonight, and you can set off before dusk. ”

Lu Gong got a plan, and waited until dusk to go out of the city, Sun Jian was in the tent, suddenly heard a shout, so he took thirty cavalry to chase, heard the report, and said: "There is a pair of men and horses out of the east gate, heading to Da Xian Mountain." ”

Sun Jian thought that Liu Biao had escaped, and immediately went to chase him, but all the generals stopped him, and he insisted on going his own way, just taking thirty cavalry to chase him.

According to the plan, Lu Gong had already laid an ambush, and Sun Jian's war horse ran fast, rushed to the front, and shouted: "Don't go!" ”

Lu Gong turned the horse's head, fought with Sun Jian for a round, and immediately fled, walking in the direction of the mountain road, Sun Jian then entered, but did not see Lu Gong, originally wanted to go to the mountain to find, suddenly a gong and drum sounded, the mountain stones and bows and arrows shot together, Sun Jian realized that it was too late for this situation, he was shot on the spot, the stone knocked out his brain, both people and horses died in the mountain, he was only thirty-seven years old when he died.

As for the thirty cavalry brought by Sun Jian, they were all ambushed and killed, according to the strategy, he put the cannon, Huang Zu, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao in the city led the troops out separately, Huang Gai heard the sound of shouting and killing, and brought the water army to help, just met Huang Zu, and captured Huang Zu after two rounds of fighting. Cheng Pu protected Sun Ce, ready to find a way to retreat and escape, just met Lu Gong, immediately stepped forward to challenge, and assassinated Lu Gong under the horse in a few rounds, the two armies fought for one night, and on the second day, they each withdrew their armies.

Liu Biao's troops returned to Xiangyang City, Sun Ce returned to sweat, and through the news of the soldiers, he learned that his father had been shot by random arrows, and the corpse was also carried to the city by Liu Biao's soldiers.

Sun Ce said: "Now that my father's body is in Xiangyang City, how can I let him go back to his hometown for burial." ”

Huang Gai said: "Now that we have captured Huang Zu alive, let one of us go to the city to make peace, and exchange for the body of the lord." ”

Before he finished speaking, Huan Jie suggested: "Liu Biao and I were old before, and I am willing to be this lobbyist." Sun Ce agreed.

So Huan Jie went to Xiangyang City to see Liu Biao and explained such a situation.
