Chapter 22: The Death of Sun Jian
Chapter 22: The Death of Sun Jian
After Li Zhe and Cao Cao arrived at Luoyang City, they saw a ruin, and the once prosperous Luoyang had become the scene in front of him, Cao Cao sighed, how much manpower and material resources would it take to build a Luoyang City!
Li Zhe didn't feel emotional, but glanced at Cao Cao, let's go into the city to chase Sun Jian! Now is not the time for mercy!
Cao Cao and Li Zhe entered the city, and there was not a single Sun Jian in the whole Luoyang, it should be said that there was no one!
Cao Cao said, no, Sun Jian's army, no one left will be killed!
Li Zhe said, let's go to Tongguan to have a look, maybe Sun Jian chased Dong Zhuo!
The two of them took the soldiers and horses out of the city less than 30 miles, and saw countless people lying on the ground in the open space in front of them!
Cao Cao looked at it, it was not good, Sun Jian was ambushed by Lu Bu! Let's withdraw!
Li Zhe looked at it, thought for a while, and said: Brother Mengde, look!
Sun Jian has 100,000 horses, and about 50,000 people died here, if it was killed by Lu Bu's cavalry, then the army was scattered, and Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Cheng Pu Huang Gai didn't see it, indicating that they might have fled now, and Lu Bu would not go after him, he would be stationed in Tongguan!
Cao Cao said at this moment that he must have fled in the direction of Jingzhou, which is very close to his Jiangdong!
Cao Cao said: Let's go to Jingzhou.
Li Zhe said that it was too late, as long as Sun Jian fled to Jingzhou, he would die! We can't save him!
Cao Cao asked: Why?
Li Zhe said that although Liu Biao and Sun Jian in Jingzhou are neighbors, they have had dozens of wars, big and small! They all want to kill each other!
Now, it is impossible for Liu Biao not to know that Sun Jian has fled and reached his realm!
We might as well be stationed in Luoyang and send a messenger to Yuan Shao, saying that Sun Jian's army was defeated, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang City, moved the capital to Chang'an, and Lu Bu's 100,000 army guarded Tongguan!
When Cao Cao heard this at this time, he thought about this person, this person is young, about the same age as Sun Ce! But he is much more strategic than Sun Ce, and he can even be said to be a very good strategist! How nice it would be if this man could be returned to me! If not, then Cao Cao thought to himself, among the princes from all walks of life, Cao Cao has nothing to look up to, but this person is different, and then it will inevitably become a big trouble for me!
Li Zhe looked at Cao Cao's eyes and had already guessed Cao Cao's thoughts! Li Zhe immediately said! Brother Mengde, what are you thinking? Are you thinking about your own power and rivals?
When Cao Cao heard this, his back was cold, and the hairs on his body stood up! Look at Li Zhe's calm expression!
Li Zhe said: What Brother Meng De thinks is also what I am thinking! But now is not the time!
Cao Cao laughed and said: Or Li Zhai knows my heart!
Cao Cao wrote a letter and asked the messenger to report it to Yuan Shao!
Cao Cao and Li Zhe marched back to Luoyang City, and in the city, Cao Cao retreated left and right! Live with Li Zhe!
Cao Cao said to Li Zhe, Master Li Zhai! What do you think of this meeting now?
Li Zhe said: Meng De, you think, why can a text make all the princes here!
Li Zhe continued: It's not for the sake of being a thief, but they all see that the big man is almost gone! The princes of all walks of life just want to be able to swallow more power for themselves when the country is broken! Consolidate yourself!
Cao Cao said: Li Zhai said well!
Li Zhe calmly asked Cao Cao: Brother Meng De knows who is the fierce enemy among the current princes of the Eighteen Roads!
Cao Cao laughed and said: Only you, the master of Li Zhai, are worthy of being my Cao Cao's enemy! The princes of the Eighteen Roads are not worthy!
Li Zhe also laughed and said: Meng De's heart is the same as I think, I think only Brother Meng De sitting opposite is worthy of being my enemy!
Cao Cao and Li Zhe laughed, and then drank a bowl of wine together!
Li Zhe said to Cao Cao: Brother Meng De, now your forces and my forces are in the psychology of the princes, and they cannot pose a threat! So they won't care about the development of your and my forces in the short term!
Cao Cao said: Master Li Zhai, for such a long time, you are my most eye-catching person! You and I make a gentleman's agreement!
If in the coming day, you and I are divided on one side, you and I don't fight each other first, first annex the others and the last one is gone!
Li Zhe smiled and thought, how can there be such a thing, who will believe it? But whether you believe it or not, it's better to do it at this time!
Li Zhe stood up and high-fived Cao Cao as an oath!
At this time, Yuan Shao and others were drinking together, and the guards came in to report, saying that it was a battle report from the front!
Yuan Shao Yile, there is good news again, after opening the bamboo slip, Yuan Shao was stunned! Then he threw the glass of wine to the ground and said: Lu Bu deceived people too much, if I don't kill you, I won't be Yuan Shao!
The princes from all walks of life looked at Yuan Shao with questioning eyes
Yuan Shao said that Sun Jian's 100,000 soldiers and horses let Lu Bu's cavalry sneak attack, and the whole army was annihilated!
Yuan Shao ordered, all the princes pulled out the camp, we marched, and camped outside the customs clearance!
And look at Sun Jian at this time, with tens of thousands of remnants, came to the outside of Jingzhou City!
Liu Biao of Jingzhou learned that Sun Jian was defeated, and he knew that Sun Jian had a jade seal in his hand!
Liu Biao opened the city gate, and thousands of soldiers and horses came out of the city, and they were all drinking in their hands!
Sun Jian looked at it and shouted vigilance!
Liu Biao wore an official uniform in the middle of the two armies and said to Sun Jian: Although you and I have fought dozens of times, we have no great enmity, and you and I are both neighbors, and we are also defeated soldiers at this moment! I'm old, maybe I'll be a little bit virtuous for my descendants, after I die, I don't want to see it under Jiuquan, you beat my son!
As soon as Sun Jian heard this, he immediately stood up from the guarded half-squatting posture and walked to the front of the two armies, and Sun Jian saluted Liu Biao.
Liu Biao said, my army didn't bring any sharp weapons, and what they had in their hands was food and wine! You may not have eaten after marching for days.
Liu Biao said, I know, you will ask me why I saved you, I am old, and I have more compassion!
Passing through this city is the Yangtze River that runs to Soochow! I have prepared ten big boats there, you get on the boat, row along the river and you will get home!
Sun Ce suddenly remembered that Li Zhe had told him that he couldn't believe Liu Biao's words! At this time, Sun Ce ran to Sun Jian, grabbed Sun Jian's ear and said, Master Li Zhai said that Liu Biao's words are not credible!
Sun Jian remembered, but if he wanted to go back to Soochow, there was only this way!
And looking at Liu Biao's expression, I don't want to fake it! As long as we are always on guard, we can fight to get out!
And everything went well, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses all got on the boat safely! The big ship sailed out of Jingzhou Ferry!
Sun Jian put his mind at ease on the boat! Sun Jian said to Sun Ce and the general on the boat: Today's grace of Liu Biao, our Sun family has written it down! In the future, we must not raise troops to attack Jingzhou, if Jingzhou suffers, our Sun family will definitely send troops to help!
The big boat drove to the narrow mouth of the river, and the big boat was stuck out. Cliffs on both sides!
Then there were no less than 5,000 archers lying in ambush on both sides of the river, and countless swords and halberds were shot out at once! The soldiers on the ship were immediately panicked, and there were many dead and wounded! An eight-year-old child said loudly: "Oh no, we have fallen for Liu Biao's tricks!" This kid is Sun Quan!
Sun Jian rushed out of the dock and came to the deck! Suddenly, there was a rain of swords, Sun Jian suddenly fell to the ground, and Sun Ce pulled Sun Jian back into the cabin! Sun Jian weighed five or six arrows. Dying!
Sun Ce, you are now the lord of Jiangdong, give the order to get on the boat! Withdraw with the soldiers, leave me alone! Remember not to be an enemy of Jingzhou within ten years, you must raise troops and accumulate strength, and when the army is strong, you can take Jingzhou in a battle! After saying that, Sun Jian is dead!
Sun Ce and Sun Quan cried! And the outside is still suffering from the onslaught of this Liu Biao!
Cheng Pu Huang Gai cried and called the young master, let's withdraw, you are now the lord of Jiangdong, and you must focus on the overall situation! Sun Ce was pulled back to the boat by Cheng Puhuang Gai! Fled to the territory of Soochow!
As soon as we got ashore, Sun Ce said, we want to get my father's body back!
Sun Quan said: Big brother, I'll go for this, no one is more suitable than me!
When Sun Ce heard this, he said: Brother Quan, you are just eight years old, you can't take risks! I have to do it!
Cheng Pu Huang Gai said, young master, you can't go, and Quan Er is the best candidate.
Sun Quan said to Cheng Pu Huang Gai, give me the jade seal, just send two soldiers to follow!
Sun Ce was very helpless and reluctant to watch Sun Quan leave!
When I got to Liu Biao, Liu Biao was happy, how could a child come to ask for the body!
Sun Quan said neatly, Uncle Liu, my eldest brother Sun Ce has ascended the throne, the jade seal is here, we have it, my father told me and my eldest brother before he died, Uncle Liu listened to Dong Zhuo's orders! And the hatred of our Jiangdong is not Uncle Liu, but Dong Zhuo! And as long as Uncle Liu returns his father's body, I, Jiangdong, promise to coexist peacefully with Jingzhou within ten years, and if Jingzhou is in trouble, we Jiangdong is obliged to send troops to support!
Liu Biao suddenly stood up! Said to Sun Quan, is this really what your father Sun Jian said before he died?
When I thought about it, it was impossible for an eight-year-old child to conjure up such nonsense!
Liu Biao immediately ordered that Sun Quan comprehend Sun Jian's corpse and return to Dongwu!
