Chapter 214: Wu Lie

Jiao Yong is indeed good, and Dong's Heji Corps is also quite impressive, but in the second half of June of the sixth year of Guanghe, the highlight of history is not on them after all, nor on the Taishan army that is confronting Yanzhou Mu Huangwan in Puyang, but Yingru in the world.

Since May, the left middle lang will Huang Fu Song and the right middle lang will Zhu Jun out of the pass and Yingchuan Taiping Road several battles, each other has won and lost, especially in June, Huang Fu Song directly seized the fighter plane, almost burned the Yingchuan Taiping Road besieging Changshe, not the summer rainstorm is frequent, a sudden rainstorm extinguished the fire, Yingchuan Taiping Road has been finished at this time.

But after all, this battle exposed the hole cards of Yingchuan Taiping Dao's poor military contention, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are all five school soldiers, three river knights and elite soldiers, and they can be a first-class capable division, so after knowing the success of Taiping Dao, they finally took out the strength of the Hanting powerhouse, and won several battles.

Especially in the middle of June, another cavalry team also went out to join the Yingchuan battlefield, he was Cao Cao, who was the cavalry captain at the time, and took Yulin to ride 3,000 into the Huangfu Song tent to control it, and then Yingchuan Taiping Road can no longer compete on the battlefield, and can only retreat west to Yangzhai, the intention is unknown.

At this moment, Cao Cao was naturally high-spirited, and as soon as he joined the battlefield, he made military achievements as the main general of the front, and naturally had a bright future. The cavalry lieutenant he is now is Guangluxun, and he is called the third lieutenant along with Fengche and the horse, and it is also an important position with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones. You must know that the rank is slightly lower than 2,000 stones, and it is also with a green ribbon, but it is only slightly inferior to the seal. And Cao Cao was less than thirty years old and released from Yilang to this position, and later with this military exploits, he naturally had to find a large county to be the Taishou. He is a typical Toshihiko with a good family background and is willing to work hard.

But at the same time, under the account of Zhu Jun, the right middle lang, there is a handsome man, who is similar to Cao Cao, and he is also energetic, and he is from a poor family, and he has relied on his own efforts until now.

This person is Sima Sun Jian, the left army who led thousands of elite soldiers from Huaisi to apply.

Sun Jian's father's family is poor, and he sells melons as a business, and it stands to reason that even if his son is not a melon seller, he will be a village tyrant at best. But some people's excellence is in the cone of the pocket, and their end is immediate.

At the age of seventeen, Sun Jian encountered his opportunity to change his life, and he was selected by the county to become an official because of his courage beyond his peers. Later, the thieves in the county were put to rest, and they were successively Sima and County Cheng. And eight years ago, Sun Jian seized the opportunity of an era, when there was a demon thief in the next county meeting, Sun Jian recruited his troops and went south to fight with the Jijun soldiers to fight together, and he was directly valued by Shi Zangmin.

And when he was valued by Zhu Jun, the right middle lang, and joined the army to make contributions again, he had already achieved the important position of Xia Picheng.

Cao Cao at the celebration banquet, also saw this majestic general named Sun Jian, during this time he has been the right middle Lang general Zhu Jun to show the first military merits, this person with the Jianghuai children of the department is good at fighting, every battle is the first, even Zhu Jun valued.

In fact, Zhu Jun recruited Sun Jian to recruit before, and he also did it for a while. Zhu Jun is the Huiji person, Sun Jian noticed this person when he pacified the Huiji demon thief, and knew that there was another general in the land of Wu Yue. But that's just the second, for Zhu Jun, Sun Jian is indeed dispensable.

There are countless people under Zhu Jun's account who can recruit good fighters, and the first ones are the protector Fu Xie and Sima Zhang Chao of other departments. Fu Xie is a native of the Northland, a high-ranking disciple of the old captain Liu Kuan, and the son of a famous family. And the same is true of Sima Zhang Chao of other departments, this person is after leaving Hou Zhang Liang, a native of Hejian, both civil and military, not only has military strategy, but also is good at cursive, which is wonderful for a while. So Sun Jian naturally didn't pay attention to him at first. But who knows, I picked it up.

Zhu Jun went out of the customs at the beginning with Huangfu Song, but he almost overturned. He was surrounded by a sneak attack by Yingchuan Bocai's handsome army, and it was Sun Jianshuai's thousands of Jianghuai disciples who killed and surrounded him before he regrouped. The same is true for the next few battles, if there is one word to describe Sun Jian, it is Jiangdong Menghu.

There is one thing to say, Zhu Jun's military strategy can only be regarded as average, he was in Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion before, whether it was a rebel army or a Wuhu barbarian, in fact, he was a relatively weak enemy. In the land outside the southern barbarism, iron weapons are hard to find, how can these rebels stop the Han army armor.

And the Yingchuan Bocai Department in front of Zhu Jun is different, this side is a few of the stronger ones in Taiping Dao, plus the preparation is sufficient, after calculating with heart or not, Zhu Jun suffered a big loss.

But fortunately, it's all over, and now he and Huangfu Song are in the same army, and they have pressed Yingchuan Taiping Road to fight, and victory in the war is sooner or later.

So at the celebration banquet, he drank a lot, and introduced Cao Cao to Sun Jian, which is also a kind of support, after all, everyone knows that Cao Cao's future is not bad.

Sun Jian is a reluctant person, but his emotional intelligence is not low, and he says nice things to the son of a powerful man like Cao Cao. And Cao Cao also valued Sun Jian's bravery, and felt that this person would also have a future in the future, so the two naturally got along.

Cao Cao actually heard of Sun Jian, not because Sun Jian was already famous all over the world, but because he was treated as a joke by his friend Zhou? Tell him about it.

The three brothers of the Zhou family, Zhou Xin, Zhou Ang, and Zhou? They all traveled to Kyoto to study, especially Zhou Xin is a disciple of the party elder Chen Fan, so the three brothers are basically the backwards of the party. And although Cao Cao is a eunuch, he has the heart to get close to the party member Qingliu to correct his name.

Among the three Zhou brothers, especially Zhou? has the most eager temperament and the best relationship with Cao Cao. Once when it came to hometown characters, he talked about Sun Jian, who was also Wu Yue, of course, not because he was brave, but because he was ridiculing the shallowness of this melon field.

That is Sun Jian's robbery.

According to Zhou? When he was drinking, he ridiculed that when Sun Jian was in the meeting, he heard that Qian Tang had a daughter from the Wu family, who was good-looking, and she was originally from Wu County, so he wanted to marry her. But at that time, the Wu family members disagreed, feeling that they were cunning and not a good match.

As soon as he heard the Wu clan's relatives evaluate Sun Jian's cunning, Cao Cao was strange, knowing that the word cunning was not a good word. The cunning and inaction are connected, that is, this person is a bastard bandit, and at that time, Sun Jian was already serving as a fake lieutenant in Huiji Fuchun, how could he be evaluated like this with the respect of a Han official? Could it be that he dislikes people and is the son of a melon farmer?

But the week? shook his head, saying that it was really not, but that the people in their local township knew the details of this Sun Jian, Sun Jian was rich and prosperous in his early years with his father's residence, and he mixed with the lake and the sea very early, and invited a group of outlaws. Once, he went to Qiantang with his father, and saw the robbery of the Qiantang water bandits on the road, Sun Jian rushed up to chase and kill these water bandits, and when the water bandits saw this person, they thought that the Fuchun water bandits were chasing and killing, and they all abandoned the goods and ran away. This made Sun Jian gain the appreciation of Fuchun County and make him a county official.

So even if Sun Jian was whitewashed and became a county official at that time, how the Wu family, who knew his details, was willing to let his own girl give this kind of scourge of inaction.

When Cao Cao heard this, he asked Zhou, do you know how many water bandits? Can you still go ashore as a Han official?

Now let Su come from the identity of the week? was silent, although he didn't want to discredit his hometown, he still honestly admitted that the fierce customs of the people in Wuyue were not groundless.

What is plagiarism? It is the plundering of plagiarism, these mountain people and fishermen are usually people, and sometimes they are bandits. And then the week? Take the strong family of Huiji County, and the He family in Shanyin as an example.

The He family has produced 2,000 stones, and there is a county official named He Qi in this generation who temporarily acted as a county official, and there was a county official in the county at that time, which was the background color of Sun Jian, but his people recruited Shanyue. Shanyue is a group of Han people who have escaped from the mountains and merged with the local Yue people, and this county official is such a party Shanyue Kui.

He Qi wanted to deal with this person at that time, and several county officials and colleagues persuaded him at that time, saying that if he did this person today, the thieves would come to attack Yan County tomorrow. He Qi is young and brave, how can he hear this, just do it. Sure enough, the clansmen of the county officials led thousands of people from Shanyue to directly attack the county seat, and later it was not that this He Qi was really powerful, and he directly destroyed the thief, it must have been a big chaos.

So, Zhou? only summed up his hometown, "Yang Shiduo is a light man and cunning".

Knowing that Yangzhou was in such a situation, Cao Cao understood the refusal of the Wu clan's relatives, who would say that he was an innocent girl to such people.

But then, Cao Cao was even more curious, this Sun Jian was rejected, how did he marry again? It turned out that Sun Jian directly threatened these Wu clan relatives, and if they didn't hand over people, something big would happen. At that time, the Wu family could only follow Sun Jian. And this is exactly the week? Ironically, they Yangzhou was already on the edge of the empire, and it was generally considered to be moral, so the Yangzhou scholars who traveled to Kyoto valued the etiquette the most, which has been the case since ancient times, and the more they lacked something, the more they emphasized something. Therefore, Sun Jian's behavior of robbing relatives like a barbarian directly made the Yangzhou scholars exclude him.

You, Sun Jian, are a soldier.

Thinking of this, during the celebration banquet of the Changshe, Cao Cao, who learned of Sun Jian's bottom line, looked at Sun Jian, who was broad and majestic, and then looked at his wife and brother Wu Jing, who came to the banquet with him, and suddenly felt interesting.

This marriage, it doesn't matter how it starts at the beginning, the important thing is that after the marriage, it is his own person, I didn't see that this Wu family is obviously a robbed relative, and now it's not a person to fund Sun Jian?

Here, Cao Cao looked at Sun Jian, and Sun Jian, such a keen person, naturally noticed it, so he raised his face and raised the wine bottle to shake Cao Cao's glass. And Cao Cao didn't do anything and returned Sun Jian with a cup.

No matter how lively this celebration banquet is, there will be an end, and the wine will be exhausted, and the officials will return to their headquarters. Sun Jian also took his wife and brother Wu Jing on the way back to the camp.

The moon stars were scarce, and Sun Jian, who had drunk too much, staggered under Wu Jing's support. But Wu Jing knew that his brother-in-law was definitely not drunk, so he said today's doubts:

"Brother-in-law, I think that Cao Cao is fateful and came to grab credit. Let's follow the right Zhonglang to cut through the thorns, and only get some merit on the bloody battlefield, this person only came, and he got the great merit of helping to retreat from the waves, which is really angry. ”

Sun Jian's cheeks were flushed at the moment, although he was drunk but awake, he was not angry with Cao Cao in his heart, but in the end he still made it clear to his wife and brother:

"Ah Jing, there are some things you still have to understand, but no matter how much you don't like it in your heart, you can't show it. Some people can't help you, but they will do something bad for you. Each of these sons of the clan thinks that any good thing is deserved, and we can't do anything with them. Ah Jing, you have to understand, what does it mean for you and me to go on the expedition with Youzhonglang this time? Therefore, let's fight hard, take credit, and don't care about anything else. ”

Wu Jing understood what Sun Jian meant, and indeed this pacification of the Taiping Dao that swept the world was the most important turning point in his life, whether it was for his brother-in-law Sun Jian or his Wu Jing.

and Taiping Dao have also fought for more than a month, and they know exactly what these people are. In the eyes of these front-line generals, victory must belong to the Han court, and when the time comes, he Sun Jian will inevitably be in front. And the Han family attaches great importance to military merits, this kind of pacification of the great uprising that swept the world may be encountered once in a lifetime, and as long as it is caught, it is not impossible to seal the marquis with military merits.

Brother-in-law Sun Jian's current career has reached a ceiling, and he has successively done Yanducheng, Xuyicheng, and Xiapicheng over the years. Although a city is bigger than a city, he has always been in a deputy position and has not been a chief official once. The reason is not complicated, that is, because Sun Jian did not start with filial piety, and he didn't go to Kyoto to cross the water, so he could only work in a deputy position. And if it weren't for this Taiping Road incident, it might have to continue to stumble.

Therefore, being able to participate in the pacification of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves under General Youzhonglang is an opportunity for their Sun and Wu families to change their lives.

Wu Jing supported Sun Jian in this way, all the way to their left army Sima Department. Gu Ming thought about it, this is still a deputy position, but because Sun Jian brought thousands of Jianghuai children to join the army, so Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, gave him a separate battalion head, otherwise he would continue to stumble.

Walking all the way, Sun Jian was almost awake, and as soon as he walked to the main tent, he heard the unique heroic voice of Yandi Wufu from inside, and Sun Jian knew who it was just by hearing it.

It was Beizhong Lang who he received the day before yesterday to command the warrior Liaoxi Handang, and the person who spoke to him was Cheng Pu, a native of Beiping.

Both of them were originally warriors under Zhu Jun's command, and they were both from Youzhou, so it stands to reason that they and Sun Jian, a native of Yangzhou, would never have an encounter. But that day, Beizhonglang would be surrounded by Bocai, in order to open the gap, Sun Jian not only brought his thousands of Jianghuai children as the first to ascend, but also borrowed Zhu Jun's account of hundreds of soldiers, Han Dang, Cheng Pu are among them.

Later, it was precisely by relying on Sun Jian's sacrifice and the elite of Zhu Jun's warriors that they successfully opened the encirclement. After the war, Sun Jian and Zhu Jun asked for Cheng Pu and Han Dang. Cheng Pu is a military official and already has a bit of status, but he was saved by Sun Jian in the first battle of the breakthrough and voluntarily voted for Sun Jian. And Han Dang is Sun Jian's special appreciation, and his bow and horse are unique, which makes Sun Jian, a Yangzhou person, out of reach. Now in the vast land of the Central Plains, such archers and warriors are needed. So after the war, Sun Jian went to Han Dang and asked if he was willing to switch to him.

Han Dang was a samurai at that time, but he was a somewhat brave samurai. And although Sun Jian realized that he had reached the ceiling, he was still beyond Han Dang's reach, and with the appreciation of this brave left army Sima, Han Dang's conceit could also have a future, so he agreed.

So when Zhu Jun wanted to reward Sun Jian, he directly asked for these two warriors, but Zhu Jun let them go without much thought.

However, Han Dang and Cheng Pu still have a way to go before they integrate into Sun Jian's group, and they are from Youzhou, and they can't understand the Jianghuai dialect in Sun Jian's team, so it will be much more difficult for the two.

But Sun Jian is good at winning people, and after several means, Han Dang and Cheng Pu have already agreed with this team, as for the future, it is a matter of fighting a few more battles. For these warriors, nothing deepens the bonds between people like the battlefield.

At this time, as soon as Sun Jian heard Han Dang's words outside the tent, he smiled through the tent:

"Okay, you righteous man, I started talking about me behind my back when I wasn't there, it seems that I should march to the law."

As soon as this remark came out, the account was quiet at first, and then I saw seven or eight generals draining out of the big tent, two of whom were Han Dang and Cheng Pu from Youzhou.

Han Dang was embarrassed, just now he said that Sun Jian was not righteous, and he didn't take them to such a luxurious celebration banquet, but brought his wife and brother, really!

Sun Jian led the generals into the tent, sat on the Hu bed at the top, and said to Han Dang with a smile:

"What kind of extravagant celebration banquet, but poured countless horse urine, and now I am still dizzy. You should have been called to go before, after all, the people of Youzhou are better at drinking than the people of Yangzhou. ”

Then Sun Jian explained that this celebration banquet was indeed good, and wine and meat were indispensable. Even Zhu Jun originally coordinated a team of dancing maids from the Zhong family of the Changshe to prepare to help the army. But then they were canceled by the real general Zuo Zhonglang in the army, who said that the war was not over, and it was when the husband was dancing, how to talk about the wine and beauty, and hurt the heart of the hero.

It seems that Huangfu Song knows that the soldiers are half dead on the front line, and the beauties are still singing and dancing, which is out of place.

Sun Jian was on Zhu Jun's side before, and the stars held the moon with the generals to flatter Zhu Jun. When Zhu Jun heard that the music and dance were canceled by Huangfu Song, his face was flushed, and he scolded the soldiers who sent the order:

"The soldiers have been stubborn with me for more than a month, and now you can't enjoy it? Is this righteousness still pressing me with big words? ”

But in the end, Zhu Jun finally listened to Huangfu Song's military order and canceled the dance music. Because Huangfu Song is the left middle general, he is taller than him, the right middle general. Originally, it was okay for the two armies to divide their troops, and they just had to make their own decisions, but now that the troops are united, he Huangfu Song will naturally become the main general in the army.

Of course, the reason that is more important than the position is that Zhu Jun knows that he is not as hard as the emperor. He Zhu Jun is a son of the Han family, and Huangfu Song is the queen of the general, and his uncle Huangfu Gui is a famous general in the whole world. Therefore, once the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Liu Hong of the country went to ask Huangfu Song for countermeasures, instead of asking him Zhu Jun to discuss the matter, because in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, it is definitely better to know the soldiers than to bully the barbarians in the south.

Originally, Zhu Jun was not convinced, but as soon as he came out of the customs, he fought a big defeat, and as soon as Huangfu Song made a move, he seized the fighter and almost burned Changshe and annihilated Yingchuan Taiping Road. Although Zhu Jun felt that this was not the same thing, in the eyes of Liu Hong, the two of them made a judgment. So Zhu Jun has already heard from his friends in Beijing that the country already wants to dismiss him, but I don't know why it will be done later.

In fact, Zhu Jun didn't know that the reason why he could still lead the troops all the way now was because Huangfu Song strongly recommended him, and even gave Zhu Jun the credit for repelling the Yellow Turban Army several times, which made Liu Hong change his mind.

From this point of view, Huangfu Song is undoubtedly more selfish than Zhu Jun. If Sun Jian could be subordinate to Huangfu Song, he might have more credit.

But unfortunately, no matter what Zhu Jun is, Sun Jian didn't have a choice. Although he is a native of Wu County, he was born in Huiji, and he is basically a Huiji. In this era when the township party is the first fetter, Sun Jian can only seize the opportunity given by Zhu Jun, the township party, and compared with Huangfu Song's set, Zhu Jun is more comfortable for outsiders like Sun Jian.

Later, the generals talked about the dinner around Sun Jian, and Sun Jian focused on the Zhong family of Changshe who attended this time, and then Sun Jian and a group of Jianghuai Wu Yue children sighed that the Central Plains is worthy of being well-dressed, and in this small Changshe County, there are families like the Zhong family and the Shen family.

The Zhong family is the surname of the county, the world is good at criminal law, and the family has produced criminal law officials from generation to generation, so it can be said that it is a first-class family in Yingchuan County. Moreover, he intermarried with the more influential Xiangcheng Li family of the same county Gaomen and became a famous family in the world. Sun Jian has already heard from other military officials, their Zhong generation's name is Zhong Xuan, and now he is only thirty, and he is already an important position of the Huangmen squire. Don't look at this, it's the same as the county magistrate outside, it's all 600 stones. But the 600 stones of the people are specially serving the country and passing through the internal and external courts. This is comparable to the county magistrate of the outgoing county?

Zhong Xuan's situation once again made Sun Jian feel that he was obedient when his fate was on the verge of death, thinking that he had fought several times to quell the people and bandits, and in the end he was just going around in the county, and Zhong Xuan was as big as him, but he had already gone straight to the gate of heaven, not because he was from the Zhong family of Changshe! And he heard that there are clans of the Zhong family in all counties of Yingchuan. It really can't be compared.

But Sun Jian is a heroic character in the end, and everything in front of him did not frustrate him, but made him understand more that this time with Zhu Jun to fight Taiping Dao was the most important opportunity in his life.

In fact, whether it is Sun Jian, Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they are all indomitable characters, and these three can make contributions. Because no one is always smooth, if you don't have indomitable perseverance, you will fail if you lose only once, and you will only lose in the end. That's right, it's Yuan Shao.

Sun Jian and the generals talked about the Zhong family, naturally to inspire them, and having a living example there can stimulate them to make contributions even more.

In the end, Sun Jian said the most important thing this time, that is, Yingchuan Taiping Road retreated west to Yangzhai, and together with Ma Yuanyi, who was the first to withdraw here, hedgehogs gathered on the northeast bank of Yingshui, with unclear intentions.

Now Sun Jian is also discussing the intentions of the Yellow Turban Army with the generals in order to prepare for the following war, after all, he is also a chief general, and he needs to have his own independent judgment on the war situation.

But Sun Jian obviously thought about it a lot, his current members are basically big bosses, either the evil young man of Jianghuai or the original Shui Kou tribe of the old Sun family, and then there is Han Dang and Cheng Pu, who have no military strategy in their chests, and only stare at Sun Jian, which means, what do you say, let's do it!

Sun Jian was depressed, and once again sighed that the Sun family's martial arts still need to make persistent efforts!
