Changsha City, too shou Fuzhong.

Since Sun Jian returned to Changsha, he has not appeared in front of the subordinate officials in the county.

He declared that he was seriously ill and could hardly see anyone.

Sun Jian handed over the affairs of the county to his brother-in-law Wu Jing, and handed over the affairs of the military to Huang Gai, a native of Lingling, while he hung up a sign to avoid guests and hid in the mansion.

It wasn't until his right-hand man Zhu Zhi, from Sun Zi Ben, and Sun Sun He who led the troops back together, that Sun Jian only made an exception.

At that time, the southern part of Jingzhou was not very peaceful, and after the thieves were defeated by Sun Jian, at the beginning of this year, there were also the vassal thieves of the district stars, Zhou Chao, Suma, Guo Shi and others, rebelled one after another, causing disaster to Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang counties, but in Sun Jian's view, these scabies diseases did not need him to go out in person.

So he handed over the authority to Zhu Zhi to crusade against them, and asked his two sons and nephews to accompany him, and with the help of this battle, he exercised the two children's ability to use soldiers.

In terms of fighting, the Sun family has genetics, and in each generation, there are a few who are particularly capable of fighting and are particularly good at using soldiers.

And Sun Ben and Sun He gradually began to show their extraordinary talent in this area.

In this battle, Sun Ben and Sun He both fought bravely to kill the enemy, took the lead, and beheaded many people, and Sun He himself even killed the thief Zhou Dynasty with his own hands.

Originally, they returned full of joy, but when they heard the news of Sun Jian's serious illness, everyone panicked.

When he arrived in Changsha, Zhu Zhi led two sons of the Sun family to visit Sun Jian immediately.

But who would have thought that when he came to Sun Jian's residence, he saw Sun Jian, who was dressed in a strong suit, holding an ancient ingot knife in the courtyard, practicing martial arts.

When the three of them saw this, they were all stunned.

Sun Jian's face was ruddy, sweating profusely, and he was full of energy, where did he seem to be seriously ill?

As if feeling that someone had entered the courtyard, Sun Jian turned around, jumped to the knife holder, stretched out his hand and took the scabbard in his hand, and then put the ancient ingot knife into the sheath like a cloud.

With a wave of his hand, he threw the ancient ingot knife to the side, and immediately an attendant stepped forward to follow.

Sun Jian smiled and glanced back and forth at the three people who had gone out to fight in front of him and returned, and said, "I have read the battle table for you, and you have made outstanding achievements, and you have lived up to my high expectations!" ”

Sun Ben stepped forward, looked at Sun Jian carefully for a while, and said, "Uncle, aren't you sick?" How could it be ......"

Sun Jian laughed, he reached out and took the handkerchief from the attendant, wiped his sweat, and said, "Let's go, let's talk in the house!" ”

Subsequently, several people entered the hall, and Sun Jian drank a large pot of water "grunt", and then ordered his cronies to bring Yuan Shu's letter and let Zhu Zhi, Sun Ben, Sun He and others pass it on.

Yuan Shu's letter did not specifically state the incident, but only asked Sun Jian to withdraw from the army, but he proposed on the side that Yuan Shao gathered all the pastors to defend Dong, which was very selfish, contrary to human ethics, and it was not appropriate to help each other, so let Sun Jian think about it himself.

After the three of them finished circulating, Sun Jian looked at them and said, "Yuan Highway has this letter, what do you think of it?" ”

Sun Ben said: "Uncle and Yuan Highway met after Liu Jian's introduction during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and they have been in constant contact over the years, Yuan Highway has indeed played some role in his uncle's career, but his uncle is not a protégé of the Yuan family, and the matter of the herdsmen guarding Dong is also for national affairs. Why does my uncle have to listen to him!? ”

Sun Jian laughed and didn't answer him, but turned his head to look at Sun He.

"Bohai, do you know, why did I listen to Yuan Shu and withdraw my troops back to Changsha?"

Sun He was calmer than Sun Ben, he said: "The Yuan family is famous all over the world, but now in the Yuan family, the only person who is good friends with his uncle is Yuan Shu. ”

"That's a good point."

Sun Jian said with satisfaction: "However, I still didn't get to the point. ”

Then, Sun Jian looked at Zhu Zhi: "Let's listen to the thoughts of your predecessors!" ”

Zhu Zhi said: "The reason why the prince of the palace withdrew from the army is because of two points, one is that Yuan Shu is also a person of good fame and fortune, and now the princes are asking for Dong, it is when his Yuan family gathers the famous people of the Wang clan and establishes its prestige...... In my opinion, he must have held some unfavorable handles in his hands! Before the matter was clear, the prince of the government said that he was sick and returned to Jingzhou, which was justified.

Sun Jian nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Sun He and Sun Ben and said, "Did you hear that?" That's what you mean by weight. ”

Sun Ben and Sun He hurriedly said to Zhu Zhi together: "Be taught!" ”

Sun Jian said: "In addition, there is another reason, that is, although I am appointed in Changsha, but my family is in Lujiang, I have intersected with Yuan Highway several times, and I feel that although this person is from a famous family, he is a narrow-minded person, he is now a pastor of Beiyangzhou, Lujiang is also under his command, if he is unhappy, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the people in my clan!" ”

Sun Ben hurriedly said: "In this case, why don't you quickly bring Congmu, Ace, and Ah Quan to Changsha?" ”

Sun Jian sighed: "It's not that I don't want to get them here, but according to the current situation, I haven't considered what my way out is. ”

Sun Ben said: "Now the herdsmen in the eastern part of the country are opposed to Dong Zhuo, the world is in chaos, the herdsmen everywhere have the heart of separating and self-reliance, the Han family will be in chaos in the world, and my uncle takes Changsha as the foundation and sits in Jingnan to observe the current situation in the world!" ”

Sun Jian let out a long sigh and did not speak.

Zhu Zhi understands Sun Jian, and he understands Sun Jian's true thoughts.

"Fujun still wants to go back to Yangzhou to develop, right?"

Sun Jian nodded and said, "I am from Wu County, if possible, I still want to go back to Wu County after all, after all, people leave their hometowns and ......."

Zhu Zhi sighed: "No matter what the Han Dynasty eventually becomes, but at least for now, the Han Dynasty is still the world of the Liu family, and the three-mutual law system is still there, and if you want to return to Wu County in the name of orthodoxy, I am afraid it will be difficult!" According to his subordinates, now that the rebellion of the district star has been pacified, and the prince of the mansion has also gained a foothold in Changsha, why do you have to turn back to Yangzhou? ”

"And although the prince of the mansion is an official of two thousand stones, but when it comes to his background, he is not a high-ranking man after all, if he stays in Jingnan now, he needs to be attached to Yuan Shao, if he wants to return to Yangzhou, it is not good to say whether he can gain a foothold in Wu County, but he must also be attached to Yuan Shu, it depends on how the envoy chooses!"

"Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu......"

Sun Jian muttered slowly: "Well, right now, the Kwantung princes are fighting with Dong Zhuo, whether to stay in Jingzhou with Yuan Shao, or return to Yangzhou with Yuan Shu, and see the situation before making a conclusion!" ”

"Whoa!"

……

……

At the same time, Yuan Ji and Yuan Kui, as well as the Yuan family who stayed in Luoyang, were all imprisoned by Dong Zhuo.

Hearing that the herdsmen were in the Sour Jujube Alliance, they each raised their own troops and forced towards Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was furious.

He first killed Zhou Bi and Wu Qiong, who had advised him to release a group of party celebrities as feudal officials, in order to vent his anger.

On May 30, the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo sent an envoy group led by Han Rong to various pastoral offices in the eastern part of the country, intending to win over and divide the Guanxi army, but the effect was not good.

At the same time, the coalition forces were divided into three ways to coerce Luoyang.

Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, Zhu Jun and others stationed troops in Sanhe.

Cao Cao, who recruited generals in Danyang, met with Bao Xin, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and others in an attempt to occupy Chenggao County.

On the Jing and Yu sides, Yuan Shao and Kong Ling also organized generals to enter Liang County, but there were no suitable people to lead the troops.

After Yuan Shao arrived in Jingzhou, he also organized a group of heroes in Jingzhou to support his army, among these people, many of them are outstanding people with military talents, but they are still somewhat inferior in fame.

Originally, according to Yuan Shao's idea, Sun Jian, who was very famous, was used as the vanguard of the Jing and Yu armies to boost the morale of the three armies, but who would have thought that Sun Jian would suddenly be sick with Yuan Shu, which made Yuan Shao really a little depressed.

In desperation, Yuan Shao could only be among the sages of Jingzhou, and enable capable people to open up the situation for the vanguard.

Yuan Shao has a characteristic, that is, the people he aims at generally look at the background first, of course, it does not mean that Yuan Shao will only pay attention to people with particularly noble backgrounds, people who have the ability but not high status, Yuan Shao will also be enabled, but it is one of his major characteristics to start selecting outstanding people from the wang clan.

So, in Jingzhou, he selected the person who could pick up the beam for him, which was Huang Zu, the father-in-law of the Jiangxia lineage in the local Huang family!

As a big family in Jiangxia, and at the same time, the Huang family is adjacent to the Yuan family in Yuzhou, and the Huang family and the Yuan family have also had a lot of interests with each other over the years, so Yuan Shao is still very relieved to appoint Huang Zu as a pioneer.

After the news was transmitted back to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered the troops to fight the allies in three ways.

Zhu Jun was a famous general in the world, and he could not be taken lightly, so Dong Zhuo decided to personally deal with the coalition forces in the north.

As for the sour jujube coalition army, Dong Zhuo chose Hu Zhen and Lu Bu to lead the troops to meet the battle.

As for the coalition army in the south, it is the most powerful in history, with Sun Jian as the main combat force, and it is also the most difficult opponent on Dong Zhuo's side.

But now, the enemy in the south has been replaced by Sun Jian and Huang Zu.

And Huang Zu's opponent this time is Hua Xiong, the general of the Xiliang Army!
