Chapter Twenty-Five: Oaths Must Not Be Taken Randomly

Yuan Shao knew that Liu Bei and the three of them came to help Gongsun Zhan, and he knew that it was difficult to win, so he no longer played, and Gongsun Zhan also knew that Yuan Shao was not the one he could do to equalize, so he did not fight.

The matter was reported to Chang'an, and Li Ru immediately went to see Dong Zhuo after getting the news, and said: "Ming Gong, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are fighting in the Panhe, we might as well pretend to be called by the Son of Heaven to go to reconcile, and the two will be grateful to the Taishi." ”

Li Ru's plan can not be described as not poisonous, on the one hand, to win the hearts of the people, on the other hand, to further divide the princes, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan were in a difficult situation at this time, had to take this step, and after taking this step, the other princes must have thought that the two had already submitted to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent someone to go, and the two of them really responded to the order of the Son of Heaven. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao each retreated, and Liu Bei and the three of them led their men back to the local area.

At the time of parting, Zhao Yun sighed and said: "I thought Gongsun Chan was a hero, but when I look at it today, he is just Yuan Shao's generation." ”

Liu Bei patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said, "Settle here for the time being, and he will make plans later." ”

After that, the two said goodbye.

Yuan Shu heard that Yuan Shao won Jizhou, so he went to ask for a thousand horses, this Yuan Shao knew that there was no one in Yuan Shu's eyes, and he was even more contemptuous of his own concubine, so he insisted on not giving food.

Yuan Shu was furious, and since then he has formed a bond with this Yuan Shao.

However, since Yuan Shao didn't give it, this Yuan Shu sent an envoy to Liu Biao to borrow grain, Liu Biao occupied Jiangxia, and the rich side was on the one side, Yuan Shu, as a member of Buddhism, thought that Liu Biao would give some face.

Who knew that this Liu Biao had always despised Yuan Shu, and he was self-righteous all day long, and he didn't get along.

Yuan Shu hated him deeply, although he didn't dare to deal with Liu Biao clearly, but he still had the ability to instigate others, he knew that Liu Biao and Sun Jian had a holiday, so he sent a book to tell that Liu Biao robbed Sun Jian, which was Yuan Shao's plan, and he was unwilling, and said that Yuan Shao wanted to conspire with Liu Biao and Jiangdong, and was willing to take Yuan Shao for Sun Jian and persuade him to attack Liu Biao.

Sun Jian received the letter and gathered the crowd to discuss, Cheng Pu frowned and said: "Yuan Shu's intentions are unknown, and this person is very treacherous and cunning, so he should not be gullible. ”

"I wanted to take revenge for myself, what did I have to do with him."

When Cheng Pu and the others heard Sun Jian say this, they all advised him not to act rashly.

But Sun Jian didn't think so, he thought that he had obtained the jade seal because of the destiny of heaven, regardless of the persuasion of everyone, insisted on taking Jiangxia, and the generals had to follow, so he sent troops on the same day, waved his troops south, and pointed directly at Jiangxia.

In terms of strength, Sun Jian's subordinates are like clouds, how can Jiangxia withstand this Jiangdong Tiger? The moment is in a hurry.

When Liu Biao heard this, he was already frightened, and urgently called everyone to discuss a good strategy for retreating from the enemy. “

When Liu Biao heard this, he was very relieved.

After Huang Zu got the order, he immediately led his troops to ambush by the river, just waiting for Sun Jian's troops to arrive.

Soon, Sun Jian led the crowd to come, and from a distance, the flag was fluttering, in addition to the three main generals behind him, there was also a young man, this person was Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce.

This Sun Ce is really a young hero, and he has the appearance of a dragon and a tiger.

This Huang Zuyao saw that Sun Jian and others were far from being general, and did not dare to take them lightly, so he had to let his subordinates hit them with arrows, Sun Jian also knew that he could not attack strongly, so he used a boat to lure him to shoot arrows.

On the second day, Sun Jian took advantage of the wind to go up, and for a while arrows rained down, Huang Zu couldn't resist the enemy, so he had to abandon Fancheng and retreat into Dengcheng.

This Sun Jian personally led the troops to Dengcheng, although Huang Zu knew that he was invincible, but he had to go out of the city to face the battle.

Cheng Pu took a knife and swooped down on Huang Zu, Huang Zu knew that he didn't dare to resist, he threw away his armor and mixed it with the foot soldiers, Fang picked up a life, and then hurriedly gathered the remnants of the soldiers to see Liu Biao.

Huang Zu was afraid that Liu Biao would accuse him of not doing things well, so he exaggerated how desperate he was, and told how unstoppable Sun Jian was. Liu Biao had no ambitions, and he was also cowardly, and after hearing Huang Zu's words, he was even more frightened, and he was busy inviting Kuai Liang to come to discuss.

Kuai Liang thought for a moment, but he didn't have a good idea, so he said: "Our army is newly defeated, the enemy is unstoppable, and it is invincible. ”

At this time, Cai Mao heard what Kuai Liang said, and hurriedly said: "The soldiers are coming to the city, and they are about to reach the edge of the trench, how can they be restrained and killed?" The last general is willing to ask the army to fight to the death! ”

Liu Biao heard this, and hesitated slightly, after all, Yuan Shao had just annexed Han Fu, and the means were relatively bad, so Yuan Shao would not take his own Jingzhou land from him, but what Kuai Liang said, he had to think about it, thought about it, and said: "Since Desi has this heart, you can see the results first." ”

So Cai Mao led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to set up a formation outside the city.

But it was said that Sun Jian took the new victorious soldiers and killed him directly, saw Cai Mao from a distance, and said to his subordinates: "This person is the brother of Liu Biao's wife, who will capture him with me?" ”

Cheng Pu beside him patted his horse and went out to take Cai Mao directly, which Cai Mao was Cheng Pu's opponent, he didn't fight for a few rounds, he couldn't support it, and he was defeated, Sun Jian led the army to cover the past, and the corpses were all over the field, and Cai Mao fled into Xiangyang without being defeated.

Kuai Liang saw that Cai Mao was defeated, so he said to Liu Biao: "Cai Mao didn't listen to good policies and was defeated, so he should be killed according to the law!" ”

Liu Biao was originally a loyal elder, and his sister who newly married Cai Mao refused to do so, so he only punished him a little and gave up on his own.

And Sun Jian, because he won another while, was even more ambitious, and divided his troops into four ways to besiege Xiangyang City, and the soldiers of the three armies fought hard to attack the city.

On this day, a white crane slid across the sky, and for a time the wind suddenly rose, blowing off Sun Jian's handsome flag flagpole, which was really a great omen, especially when the army was marching and fighting in ancient times, it was extremely unlucky for the military flag flagpole to break.

When all the generals saw that Shuai Qi had fallen, they were all shocked, and Han Dang said: "Lord, Liu Biao can't attack by force, if he attacks again, I'm afraid..."

Sun Jian relied on the jade seal of the country, but he became an 'atheist', "Xiangyang City is about to be broken, and the flagpole was just knocked down by wild birds, what's the fuss?" The persuasion of everyone was ineffective, and Sun Jian insisted on going his own way, and he was eager to attack the city.

Liu Biao has a subordinate, named Lu Gong, who took the initiative to ask Ying to find Yuan Shao.

led 500 troops out of the city, and Sun Jian had already obtained the military information, and chased after him with 30 horsemen alone.

Sun Jian's horse was fast, and he caught up with Lu Gong on a solo ride, only one round, and his hands were numb from the shock, so he could only suffer death, and he didn't dare to fight at the moment, and retreated to Guanxian Mountain.

Sun Jian was about to go up the mountain, suddenly the mountain shook, and countless soldiers suddenly appeared on both sides, Sun Jian looked up to the sky and laughed, "Piff, how can a mere soldier hurt me!" ”

At this time, the arrows came, and the poor Jiangdong tiger was killed by the arrows like this.

Seeing that Sun Jian was dead, Lu Gong hurriedly ordered his subordinates to set off a series of cannons, and the people in the city heard the sound of cannons, knowing that Lu Gong had already made a plan, and hurriedly sent troops to meet him.

Lu Gong led his troops back, but he was running into Cheng Pu with Sun Ce, Cheng Pu saw that Lu Gong was unharmed, he couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted, "Old horseman!" Where is my lord? ”

Lu Gong laughed when he heard this, "Your lord has been shot to death by me in Guanyan Mountain." ”
