Sun Jian also returned to Yangzhai happily, Wei Xuan heard the news and felt that Sun Jian was too ruthless, and he knew that he would give him some food to avoid Kong Ling being humiliated twice.

Since then, Kong Ling has been so angry that she almost vomited blood again, and since then she has been ill for a long time.

Kong Ling's army returned to the county along the way, and he only returned to Peiguo with more than 3,000 state soldiers. When he came, 35,000 people were in high spirits, and they wanted to plot Wei Xuan's military power to completely control Yuzhou, but when they returned, they were so miserable that they were almost wiped out by Wei Xuan. It's just that he didn't have a chance until he died, because he was bedridden along the way, and Wei Xuan was even more miles away afterwards, and he didn't even have the qualifications to look up.

The news of Kong Ling's return to the east reached the sour jujube, and the sour jujube heroes no longer cared about face, and they didn't plan to ask for face, so they began to retreat from the sour jujube, and did not greet Yuan Shao, Wei Xuan and others.

Cao Cao didn't have Wei Xuan's means, nor did he have such a strong force as Wei Xuan, so naturally he couldn't let the sour jujube coalition army leave grain, grass and weapons. Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are all in Hebei, and they are not as long as the alliance leader??????????????? It's just a title, and it is not binding on you at all. Wei Xuan wanted to take the opportunity to loot, but the division was unknown, and he and Sun Jian were about to send troops, so he gave up.

However, Yuan Shao, Wei Xuan and Cao Cao ignored the sour jujube coalition army, they may have been too bored, and there was friction on the way to withdraw the army, and it may have been planned for a long time, that is, Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai and Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi launched a surprise attack on Qiao Mao at night on the way to withdraw the army. The defenseless Qiao Mao was wiped out! Qiao Mao's life and death are unknown.

When the news spread, the world was in an uproar, and the Eighteenth Route Coalition couldn't help Dong Zhuo, but it was really surprising that they were killing each other!

Wei Xuan also regretted that he didn't lead his troops to loot the sour dates, you must know that Qiao Mao had 10,000 people in his hands. These livestock, singing day after day in the sour jujube, buying drunk night and night, saying that they were crusading against Dong Zhuo and dispersed without even seeing the shadow of the tiger prison. As a result, the infighting turned out to be so positive. This is not a waste of people's fat and people's ointment, and what is it?

Wei Xuan of course understands why Liu Dai is like this, since everyone knows it, it is all an excuse to crusade against Dong Zhuo to oppress the people of the prefecture and county, and take the opportunity to expand his power. Everyone was an ally when they fought against Dong Zhuode, but now that they are scattered, they are naturally enemies! Now in addition to Cao Cao, Yanzhou also has Qiao Mao, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin and Yuan Yi four big county forces, Zhang Miao has a younger brother Zhang Chao, Bao Xin has Cao Cao's close friend, Yuan Yi is the brother of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Only Qiao Mao is alone. Liu Dai was probably reminded by Wei Xuan's involvement with Kong Ling, and he couldn't let Qiao take the audacity to return to Dongjun! It's just that Liu Dai's methods are a little rougher, his appearance is a little ugly, and he is a little impatient when he chooses to do it, but the result is good, and Liu Dai can't take care of Shilin's reputation anymore.

Don't talk about Kong Ling, and don't say that the sour jujube coalition is scattered as birds and beasts and then dogs eat dogs. Wei Xuan finally decided to send troops in early July without any constraints, but Cao Cao had been wandering by the Yellow River, and Wei Xuan had no hope for him and the Hebei people. The only thing that can determine the outcome of the battlefield is your own preparation and the morale of the Xiliang soldiers.

Sun Jian was still as anxious as ever, and after getting the date of dispatch determined by Wei Xuan, he rushed to Liang County with nearly 20,000 people three days in advance.

However, to Wei Xuan's surprise, before leaving, Sun Jian actually brought his son Sun Ce to visit. Fifteen-year-old Sun Ce was already as tall as Sun Jian, but a little thin. I think that in two or three years, Xiaobawang will come out.

"Zhongdao, this time Jian went to attack Taigu, and it was inconvenient for the dog to accompany the army, so I insisted that I would leave him here and let Zhongdao take care of it on my behalf."

Sun Ce also stepped forward very obediently and saluted: "Ce has seen his uncle, and he will bother his uncle in the future." ”

Wei Xuan was stunned, looking at Sun Ce, who was not a few years younger than him, and his height was not even different from his own at all, he called his uncle and felt weird. However, Wei Xuan and the forty-year-old Yuan Shao are also brothers, and Sun Jian's identity and fame are no longer than Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and others. Sun Jian is now Chinese New Year's Eve the fifth year and the same year as Cao Cao, and he is a guest in Yingchuan, and he still asks for help, so naturally he can't support it.

Besides, Sun Ce is now underage, but Wei Xuan has already lived in the official residence of the general of Zhengxi, the leader of Yingchuan Taishou, the general of 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers, and the parents of more than 1 million people, Sun Ce is not aggrieved when he calls his uncle.

】

Of course, Wei Xuan was more surprised by Sun Jian's attitude,??????????????? said that it was troublesome for Wei Xuan to take care of his son, Wei Xuan himself is a big man, and he is leading the troops out to fight, where is the kung fu to take care of a half-grown son? If you think about it carefully, this is actually a gift for hostage, which is more common among the princes in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Sun Jian is also a very smart approach, and now that Liu Biao is big in Jingzhou, Sun Jian is likely to face a situation without roots. relied on Yuan Shu in the past, and it is very likely that he will rely on Wei Xuan now and in the future. Since there is a demand for people, simply lower your posture.

Some people say that why didn't Sun Jian directly withdraw his troops and go back to Changsha? The rest of the Eighteenth Route Alliance can withdraw their troops, but he Sun Jian can't, because he is a martial artist, and his Changsha Taishou may be replaced at any time. Only by improving his prestige by virtue of his military exploits against Dong Zhuo could he possibly have a place in the upcoming melee of the princes. And Wei Xuan is also in a famous family, and now he has hoarded a large amount of grain and grass, so Sun Jian is equivalent to the princes' subordinates and takes the initiative to send protons, and what he thinks in his heart is to let Wei Xuan provide him with grain and grass with peace of mind.

Of course, Wei Xuan would not detain Sun Ce in an attempt to control Sun Jian, although Sun Jian was a martial artist, his experience in diagnosis and treatment was not bad, mainly because it was difficult to control.

Wei Xuan was only slightly surprised and then smiled: "Wentai, you and I don't have to be like-minded, everyone is here to crusade against Dong Zhuo, you don't have to worry about food and grass." As the saying goes, the father and son soldiers go into battle, and you father and son also have a care when they are together. It's just that we still have to strengthen our ties during the march, and we must not rush forward, and we must not let Dong Zhuo break us one by one. ”

Wei Xuan is not Sun Jian's sect master, compared to detaining Sun Ce, Wei Xuan is more worried about Sun Jian's rush to advance, once he feels that he can defeat Dong Zhuo by himself, he will definitely not wait for Wei Xuan. So Wei Xuan still has to remind him again and again.

Sun Jian looked at Wei Xuan, made sure that Wei Xuan understood his good intentions, and made it clear that he would not embarrass himself on the issue of grain and grass, and smiled embarrassedly: "This stinky boy heard that Zhongdao has a few more fierce generals under your command, and I heard that Shuda is a disciple of Tong Daxia, so I want to beg Jian to let him stay in Zhongdao's army." Jian couldn't resist him, so he wanted to come to find you, but Zhongdao was right before, no matter how good your performance in the martial arts arena is, it is not as good as a battle. Wei Xuan also smiled and said: "Yes, bravery on the competition field is not counted, but it is the real chapter on the battlefield!" Wentai, you are called the Jiangdong Tiger, and you are killed one by one on the battlefield. The tiger father has no dog son, and I believe that Bo Fu will definitely be able to make contributions on the battlefield. ”

Sun Ce resisted? Before he came, he was told by Sun Jian, and now he can hear that Wei Xuan has no intention of detaining him, and when he saw his father embarrassingly going back to make up for it, he also smiled a little reservedly: "Thank you uncle for the compliment." It's the strategy that is not sensible to disturb my uncle. ”

Wei Xuan looked like an uncle's elder, patted Sun Ce on the shoulder and said, "It's better to compete with the fierce generals of my fungus than to directly slash and kill Dong Zhuo's generals on the battlefield." Besides, when Dong Zhuo is defeated, you can come at any time if you want to compete, but if you miss this war, it will be difficult to have another chance. Go, uncle, take a good look at you! ”

Hearing this, Sun Ce bowed his head a little embarrassed.

Wei Xuan and Sun Jian looked at Sun Ce's appearance and laughed at the same time.

Wei Xuan was thinking that Boss Cao had dealt with him many times and often exchanged letters, and he rarely had contact with Sun Ce of Wu State, and he couldn't see the king's ??????????????? Phase.

was so troubled by Sun Jian's father and son, Wei Xuan also realized that although this era pays attention to morality, the alliance between the princes does need to be maintained frequently, such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, such as Cao Cao and Zhang Miao, and later it was not for their own interests. The reason why Wei Xuan was willing to provide grain and grass to Sun Jian was that he valued his bravery and determination to crusade against Dong Zhuo. Of course, he also had the idea of using Sun Jian's prestige to attract Dong Zhuojun's firepower.

Sun Jian was so obedient before the war, in fact, he was worried that Wei Xuan, like Yuan Shu, would run out of food at a critical moment and make himself fall short.

After nearly two years of garrisoning troops in Yingchuan, he was finally about to march to defeat Dong Zhuo, and Wei Xuan naturally wanted to say goodbye to the officials and family members in Yingchuan.

The Xun family, the Zhong family, and the Xin family all sent people to see them off, but such as the Yang Zhai Guo clan and the Lai clan did not come to see off the disciples and guests from the clan last time, and it seems that they are still not optimistic that Wei Xuan will be able to defeat Dong Zhuo.

Wei Xuan didn't expect his tens of thousands of people to press up, and Dong Zhuo's entire army collapsed. There will definitely be a tug of war between the two sides, and Wei Xuan is also ready for a local battlefield defeat. Wei Xuan's subordinates now count the ones he recruited and those who were dug from Kong Ling, and now there are 37,000 soldiers and horses, 4,000 county soldiers and Tuntian soldiers Wei Xuan does not plan to move for the time being. As long as this war is over temporarily, and after Dong Zhuo returns to Chang'an, Wei Xuan still has 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, then what is left at that time is enough to participate in the melee of the princes.

More than 37,000 people were all hoarded in front of the Yuyuan Pass, which could not play a role, and the distance from the Tiger Pass was Taiyuan. So Wei Xuan made a decision, that is, Wei Yun stayed in Yangzhai to continue to train the soldiers, commanding the remaining more than 12,000 people, and he and Wei Yan led 12,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry to Yuyuan Pass.

Wei Yan's 6,000 infantry went first, and he would go straight to Pu Yuyuan Pass, and Guo Jia, who joined the army, accompanied him. At the same time, Bing told Zhang Liao of Yangcheng and Wei Zheng of the Lun clan to prepare for the response.

Two days later, Wei Xuan led the Chinese army from Yangzhai to join the forwards. Along the way, 6,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry were also considered mighty. Just two days before leaving Yangzhai, Wei Yan sent someone to send an urgent report, and another Xiliang cavalry was found in front. Wei Yan decided to slow down the march.
