Chapter 144: Kill Sun Jian, based in Jingzhou!

Guo Tu left Wancheng, and he swore an oath with Yuan Shu before leaving.

He swore that he would let Sun Zhu, the Taishou Gong of Nabeidi County, voluntarily enter Xiangyang as Yuan Shunei, and should open the gate of Xiangyang City by fraud.

After that, he was willing to attack Yangzhou for Yuan Shu, defend Jingzhou, and be Yuan Shu's general for generations.

If this oath is violated, then Gongsun Zhu will die under the heart of ten thousand arrows.

Guo Tu's oath was made unceremoniously, and he did not leave a way for Gongsun Zhu to live at all.

The most important thing is that this Gongsun Zhu is the county guard of the Northland, and in terms of status, reputation and even experience, he is actually not worse than Sun Jian.

It's just this time... That Sun Jian was really a little too strong, which overshadowed the others.

If Gongsun Zhu is replaced with Sun Jian, this is not a big problem for Yuan Shu.

It's just that I don't know if Gongsun Zhu will hang Guo Tu up when he learns about this matter in the future, and then train the soldiers in bow and crossbow archery.

But these are not the point, Guo Tu ran all the way, to tell Gongsun Zhu the news, and at the same time to discuss a follow-up plan with Gongsun Zhu, such as the plan to kill Sun Jian.

The battle under Xiangyang City made Liu Biao and Gongsun Zhu more and more difficult.

There are famous ministers and fierce generals in Xiangyang City, tall and strong cities, well-armored soldiers, and sufficient grain.

There is no means to stop Sun Jian.

When Guan Yu led the cavalry to kill for the second time, the little cavalry he had managed to save was completely destroyed under this Xiangyang City.

Unlike Dong Zhuo's Qianghu Hun cavalry, the Han cavalry is not easy to train, the speed of forming an army is extremely slow, and the consumption is also very large, but the soldiers are well-armoured, abide by military discipline, and be loyal.

Suffice it to say that he is fighting hard.

It's just that in the words of Gongsun Zhu, the cost performance is really too low, so Dong Zhuo and the subsequent Yongliang overlords chose to appoint the more cost-effective Qianghu and Xiongnu and even Xianbei people.

You don't need to prepare anything, just give it to those who stutter, like Dong Zhuo, who is obviously lacking in logistics, can support thousands or even tens of thousands of cavalry, relying on grain?

That's by plunder.

When they were in the land of Yongliang, they could still plunder the tribes that were also Qianghu Xiongnu, and after entering places like Sili and even Luoyang Chang'an, they could only plunder the people and the surrounding cities.

This is also the reason why Li Ru can't control the scene, just like Emperor Qin back then.

Shang Jun's reform was to let the whole country serve the war, and when the war was gone, this change was the biggest reason for the destruction of Great Qin.

Therefore, Liu Bei has been in Yongliang for several years, and he can be regarded as having seen through this matter, and Gongsun Zhu also knows that his cheap father is slowly getting bigger as his status grows.

The cool wind did not blow his ambition, he could not take the initiative to accept a large number of Qianghu soldiers and horses, the only thing he could do was to make the Han people in the Yongliang land young and strong, and constantly train them into a qualified soldier, and even cavalry.

Even if the process is extremely difficult, even if it makes his already stretched grain even more embarrassing.

As a result, the little people that Guan Yu had managed to save under his hands were all folded under Xiangyang City this time, looking at Sun Jian's army that still had a lot of wells rushing into the car, Guan Yu was distressed.

"Sun Wentai, a certain family and you are incompatible!"

Every soldier who died in Xiangyang City was trained by him, and he didn't lose so much when he was chased and beaten by Xu Rong.

However, although Guan Yu's cavalry was missing, Guan Yu burned a lot of his equipment and forced him back twice in succession, which damaged his morale again and gave Xiangyang a chance to breathe.

And Sun Ben also failed to break through Gongsun Zhu's camp, under the command of the Huo family brothers, although the losses were also not small, but they barely held the situation, until Guan Yu Ma Chao returned, and finally gained a firm foothold.

Reinforcements from other counties in Nanjun also came slowly, and it was a complete battle with Xiangyang.

At this time, Guan Yu was in charge of the Chinese army, Huo Du commanded the army to fight in front of the formation, Huo Jun assisted from the side, and Ma Chao went to defend the flank, this guy was already a little crazy because of Sun Ce's stimulation.

But all this is only barely continued to support, as the war becomes more and more intense, the morale of Sun Jian's army is also slowly recovering, I have to say that in terms of leading troops, Sun Jian can be said to be very set.

Gongsun Zhu looked at the war that was changing every day, and his heart was also constantly struggling, he was not a fool, if it was really inviolable.

He had no choice but to flee first.

Fortunately, Guo Tu also knew that it was not an easy task to fight against Sun Jian, so he ran wildly all the way, and finally came to this Gongsun Zhu camp before Yuan Shu's envoy.

"In addition to these people, do you still have people in your hands?"

Guo Tu didn't talk nonsense, he came up straight to the point, which made everyone stunned, but Guan Yu reacted the fastest.

"There are still tens of thousands of people in Zhijiang City who have stayed and have not left."

Guo Tu's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this, "Tonight, General Guan led the troops to advance with a noisy, Pang Ji found a way to turn back to Xiangyang, and a certain family will send a letter to Liu Jingzhou."

Then I will retreat into Zhijiang County at night and give up the battlefield of Xiangyang, and this battle should also end. ”

Guo Tu didn't say much else, now that time was pressing, he hurried in order to dare to come here before Yuan Shu's envoy, he knew too well what was wrong with Yuan Shu's people.

It is said that the army is moving forward, but Yuan Shuxin is arrogant, and the soldiers under his command are said to be soldiers, but they are more like thieves, and the speed of the road is definitely not too fast.

Therefore, the envoy came to take Sun Jian away, and Yuan Shu's army had not yet arrived, which was another battle with a time difference.

Guo Tu is the best at playing the time difference.

That night, Pang Ji sneaked into Xiangyang City again, this time he brought Guo Tu's handwritten letter, whether he could kill Sun Jian, and whether Liu Biao could cooperate this time.

At the same time, Guan Yu rushed to Sun Ben's camp with soldiers and horses in unison, making Sun Ben wake up at night, thinking that the enemy was attacking at night, but he quietly retreated after a burst of noise outside.

made Sun Ben's face puzzled, he didn't know what Gongsun Zhu was going to do, playing tired soldiers at this time, isn't it a fool.

In the early morning of the second day, Sun Ben saw the empty camp again, and his face suddenly became embarrassed.

"I was really bold enough to toss like this last night in order to trick all the scouts of a certain family back."

Although Sun Ben is Sun Jian's nephew, he is not young, not much younger than Guan Yu, after he heard the movement yesterday, he transferred back the scouts and soldiers and horses because of caution, and guarded the camp.

As a result, the noise outside was tossed again and again, but it didn't seem to come in, and under the night, he didn't dare to rush out to fight.

If there are fewer people, let Guan Yu behead, and when there are more people, he is afraid of ambush, but when there is no movement, Gongsun Zhu runs away.

"Captain, are we going to pursue?"

A Sima came to ask, if the time is calculated at this time, if he is forced to chase, he may be able to catch up.

"No need, since they are in such a hurry to leave, something must have happened, and you can't relax for a moment when you are stationed here, and a certain family goes to look for the general."

Sun Ben rejected his subordinates' proposal to pursue, but instead asked them to hold the camp to prevent Gongsun Zhu from attacking again, and he took his own soldiers to find Sun Jian and tell his uncle about the situation here.

Sun Wentai was ready to attack Xiangyang again, and after hearing the news brought by Sun Ben, although his brows furrowed slightly, he didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, our soldiers and horses are far superior to that Gongsun Zhu Xiao'er, even if he has a conspiracy, he is not our opponent in the face of absolute strength, don't be too surprised.

You don't need to turn back to the camp for the time being, and you can also go back to garrison in case Gongsun Zhu turns over and raids.

As long as a certain family breaks through Xiangyang, all conspiracies and tricks will come to naught. ”

Sun Jian had absolute confidence at this time, and ordered the army to go out again.

In order to restore morale as soon as possible, Sun Jian not only wantonly distributed grain and straw rewards, but even promised the army to break through Xiangyang and allow them to indulge in catharsis for three days, which was the first time he said such words.

may have been forced by Gongsun Zhu's methods.

The attack and defense under Xiangyang City began again, and Gongsun Zhu and others had already entered Zhijiang City, and Huo Jun was officially promoted to Sima in Gongsun Zhu's army and stationed in Zhijiang City.

The others were all transferred by Guo Tu, and each had their own tasks.

After a day and a night of attack, the losses on both sides were not small, but Sun Jian's face was very ugly, because he saw Gongsun Zhu's conspiracy.

"General Yang Hong is here in person to get a certain family to withdraw the army?"

Sun Jian had already tried his best to suppress his anger at this time, and he had not yet gone to Yuan Shu to urge the grain, but Yuan Shu sent someone to ask him to withdraw first.

The battle has come to this point, and when he retreats at this time, how can he explain to the soldiers under his command.

And this is not the first time, when the Yangren city was down, he broke Hu Zhen's army, Guan Yu beheaded Huaxiong, and when their morale was high, Yuan Shu cut off their grain.

Now this is another time, he is indeed Yuan Shubiao's Yuzhou assassin history, a general who broke the captivity.

claimed to the outside world that he was also acting at the behest of Yuan Shu, but this did not mean that he Sun Jian had no temper.

When he dared to propose to kill a fellow sacrifice flag on the Yongliang battlefield, how could he be an honest person.

Yang Hong looked at Sun Jian with embarrassment, many generals in the Yuan Shu camp, many people have a lot of complaints about Sun Jian, after all, his name is too big and his prestige is too great, so many of them are a little unaccustomed to it.

But there are also a few people who have a good relationship with him.

Ji Ling is the kind of person who doesn't care about me, I don't care about you, and everyone is fine.

And he and Qiao Rui are both reasonable, they really admire Sun Jian, and even Sun Jian's nephew and son.

The bravery is extraordinary, and there is the courage of Jiangdong.

So the relationship between them has always been very good, but now listening to Sun Jian's tone, even he is to blame, but after thinking about it, he is no wonder.

After all, if it were me, I would probably have the heart to lift the table.

"Wentai don't want such resentment, lord..... After all, the lord is also for the good of Wentai, this Yuzhou is the foundation of Wentai, if something happens to Yuzhou, isn't this worth the loss? ”

"Hehe... Hehe... Hahaha..."Sun Jian laughed angrily, and finally gritted his back molars and nodded his head repeatedly.

"What you said makes sense, what General Yang said makes sense, please tell Yuan Gong, a certain family will go back to Yuzhou!"

"Hey.. Take care. ”

"Don't worry, a certain family can't die!"

Yang Hong walked faster than when he came, and until Yang Hong completely left Sun Jian's camp, he felt a slight tingling sensation in his back, as if the gaze of those soldiers had penetrated his skin.

And after Yang Hong left, many generals and even the major general Sun Ce under Sun Jian came to the big tent.

They already knew what Yang Hong had come from, and now they were asking Sun Jian to see what he could do.

"Father!" Seventeen-year-old Sun Ce was fierce, he stood up directly and said loudly to Sun Jian, "I also ask my father to give thousands of elites to a certain family, and this Xiangyang will definitely be captured within three days." ”

Sun Ce's idea was the most simple and rude, regardless of Yuan Shu's orders, he would directly attack Xiangyang, and dare to conquer Xiangyang before Yuan Shu.

At that time, they had Xiangyang City in their hands, there was grain and straw inside, and there was a city outside, and the morale of the soldiers was high, and Yuan Shu didn't dare to really do anything to them if he wanted to come.

At the same time, Han Dang also agreed with this idea, and it was impulsive to look at the eager appearance.

It's just that before Sun Jian refused, Cheng Pu sighed first.

"Although the young general's idea is good, but I'm afraid I don't have much time, this Xiangyang city is strong, and with the help of Huang Zhong Lao'er and the brothers of the Kuai family, I am afraid it will be difficult to conquer in a short time.

When we first marched into the army, Yuan Shu promised us that we would guarantee that we would wait for the back road, so in order to conquer the city as soon as possible, we did not leave soldiers and horses to garrison the pass all the way.

And because of Yuan Shu's guarantee, we didn't even carry much grain.

Before Yang Hong arrived, we were still wondering why Yuan Shu didn't provide me with food and straw, but now it seems that the guy has been prepared for a long time. ”

Cheng Pu's words revealed full of helplessness.

Who would have thought that Yuan Shu would not remember to eat or fight, and who would have thought that Yuan Shu would be such a pit.

If the grain and straw are not enough, it is enough, and they don't care about the passes along the way, so they want to continue to plunder and enjoy themselves.

In the end, they fought too fiercely and too fast, and after the two sides became disconnected, Gongsun Zhu directly found an opportunity to rush behind them, and cooperated with Xiangyang, seriously slowing down their siege speed.

Now that things have finally taken a turn for the better, it turned out that the damn Yuan Highway came to such a hand again, endlessly making them waste their previous efforts.

Cheng Pu even felt that ten Gongsun Zhu's impact on their morale was not as good as that of one Yuan Highway, how did this guy become the son of this Yuan family, just because he would be reincarnated?

Cheng Pu's words also made Sun Ce, Han Dang and the others reluctant to retreat, even if they were full of anger, they couldn't really just ignore it.

Sun Wentai closed his eyes tightly, his fists clenched, as if he was trying to suppress his mood, and finally slapped the table after everyone was quiet.

"I'll wait to return to Yuzhou, Demou will pack up the army, and Bo Fu will invite your uncle here."

Sun Jian seemed to have made some decision, his eyes slowly returned to normal from red, and his violently undulating chest slowly calmed down.

When everyone saw Sun Jian with this appearance, they only felt more pressured.

But no one said anything, and each went about his own thing.

went to call Sun Ben Huang Gai back, Cheng Pu Han Dang packed up the army, Sun Ce went to invite his uncle Wu Jing, and at the same time, the only few fast horses in the army rushed out of the camp and headed towards Xuzhou.

There was also Sun Jian's overseer captain Zhu Zhi.

This time, since you want to return to Yuzhou, then bring all the soldiers and horses back, and really go back to Yuzhou.

Not long after Wu Jing entered the big tent, he left again, this time he was heading to the land of Wu County, and he was going back to Sun's house.

After doing everything, Sun Jian looked at the sturdy and tall Xiangyang City and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"The next time a certain family comes to Jingzhou, they will definitely hang the heads of Er and others at the city gate."

These were the last words that Sun Jian said to Xiangyang, and then the army slowly withdrew from Xiangyang City and headed in the direction of Yuzhou.

There are many generals and officials standing on the wall of Xiangyang, as well as Liu Jingsheng, the assassin of Jingzhou, who saw that Sun Jian's army really withdrew like this, and Liu Biao's heart, which had always been pretending to be calm, finally fell.

He let out a long breath, and at this moment he really relaxed.

"Xenomorph." Liu Biao gently called and summoned Kuai Yue to his side, "Are the soldiers and horses ready?" ”

"Please rest assured, the two generals Huang Wen are ready, and they will definitely not let Sun Jian leave this Jingzhou land alive."

"Well, and that Gongsun Zhu..."

"So that Jun Da can rest assured, although Gongsun Zhu has a big heart but a small belly, after this battle, his soldiers and horses were seriously damaged, and he didn't have the ability to garrison Nanyang.

Some time ago, there was news in Luoyang, something happened in Luoyang, Nanyang County is very important, how can a child act as a barrier? ”

Kuai Yue's voice was calm, and his face was joyless and sad, but these words were silent.

However, Liu Biao nodded slightly, "That Gongsun Zhu is my Han's Taishou, and he is still above the old man!"

However, he is only the county guard of Jincheng County, not the county guard of my Jingzhou, so don't make it too difficult for him. ”

"Rest assured, we will understand." Kuai Yue suddenly chuckled, "The envoy also feels sorry for my big man, the situation in Luoyang is critical, then Gongsun Zhu... The ability is insufficient, and it is still necessary to make Jun, the more foil of Jingzhou's thorn history. ”

"Hahaha, exactly."

At this moment, Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, really laughed.

And at this moment, the sparse raindrops finally fell, looking at the raindrops that kept falling, looking at the gloomy sky.

"The rainy season is coming, this Jingzhou is really a rainy place."

In Zhijiang City, Gongsun Zhu was wearing a robe, and Huo Jun was standing next to him with a calm face, also watching the gloomy sky and the increasingly dense raindrops falling.

"Zhong Miao, do you think that God is going to destroy the Jiangdong Tiger too?"

Gongsun Zhu's mood at this time was getting better and better as the rain fell, and he had even seen the soldiers and horses slowly appearing, which were the army that Sun Jian was evacuating.

Huo Jun still didn't speak, he was such a cautious person, until the last moment, he would definitely not relax in the slightest.

The army slowly walked under Zhijiang City, and Sun Wentai seemed to feel Gongsun Zhu's gaze, and also looked up at the not tall Zhijiang City City.

If it were normal times, this small city might not be able to withstand their charge once, but now he didn't move.

He didn't want any more extraneous problems.

"General." At this time, Cheng Pu came to Sun Jian's side, "The front is the Han River, and we have found the boats, but there are not many boats and we can't cross the river in a unified way." ”

"It's okay, let the army go first, this is not a place to stay for a long time, and the morale of the soldiers is not good, which is not conducive to staying for a long time."

Sun Jian also knew that they were evacuated in a hurry, and it was not easy to find the ship, so as for staying, it was still okay.

Xiangyang and Zhijiang have enemies, he is also afraid of growing branches outside the festival at this time, Yuan Shu can no longer count on it, he has not come to Hanshui at this time, there is no one who knows where to go to loot, a group of useless waste.

Sun Jian's anger, which had finally calmed down, ignited again, and he almost couldn't help but scold.

Cheng Pu also knew that Sun Jian was in a bad mood now, and he didn't dare to continue to disturb Sun Jian, so he hurriedly arranged for the soldiers to cross the river slowly, so that the army could cross the Han River and go to the other side, where it would be safer.

The rain came suddenly, and even became heavier and heavier, and the waves slowly appeared in the Han water, and the soldiers on the warship were also a little unsteady because of the turbulence.

And Cheng Pu, who had been arranging for the soldiers to cross the river, suddenly turned ugly.

"It's not right, it's not right!"

Cheng Pu's exclamation quickly attracted the attention of the others, and Sun Jian also cast an inquiring look.

"General be careful, this Han water has changed!"

As soon as Cheng Pu's words were finished, before he could explain, there was a roaring sound in the distance, followed by a huge wave rushing from the upper reaches of the Han River.

The source of the Han River was in Yizhou or even farther, running through the entire Jingzhou, and at this time, a huge wave struck, and suddenly the advancing warship on the river was instantly crushed.

Countless soldiers were submerged in the waves of the Han River.

At the same time, there was a sudden roar on both sides of the Han River, the gate of Zhijiang City opened, and Gongsun Zhu roared towards Sun Jian with a bloody white cloth wrapped in his arm and a horse lance in his hand.

Behind him were Ma Mengqi, who also had a hideous face, and Huo Jun, who had a cold face.

The three children rushed with thousands of soldiers and horses, and at the same time, large banners appeared in other aspects of Zhijiang City, and a big "Guan" character fluttered in the rain.

"Child, how dare you do this!"

Sun Jian was furious, although there were not enough soldiers and horses around him, he still had to fight hard, but he was just about to make a move when he was stopped by Cheng Pu.

"General, don't be impulsive, go quickly!"

As Cheng Pu spoke, he also pointed in the direction of Xiangyang, where there were also crowds, and a "yellow" banner appeared in the eyes of everyone, and at the same time, it was quite loud, as if thousands of soldiers and horses were coming.
