Overlord!

Chapter 170 Poaching Liu Bei
After defeating Lu Bu, Sun Ce went up the Huai River and led more than a thousand cavalry to Dongyang.

At this time, Sun Ce was on the battlefield, defeating the world-renowned general Lu Bu, breaking his elite main force, and beheading his generals.

In the north and south of the Huaihe River, everyone is in awe of the prestige of Marquis Wu and respects the hero Sun Lang.

After this battle, Sun Ce suddenly became a famous general like Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu, who shocked the world, from a general who was not well-known and whose prestige was limited to Jiangdong!

As the war spread, the guards, ministers and princes of the world all marveled at Sun Ce's heroism.

In Dongyang, after learning that Sun Ce personally led the army to rescue, Liu Bei even went out of the camp for thirty miles to meet him in the county with his men and martial arts!

This means that Liu Bei's territory is not big enough, otherwise he would definitely be able to welcome him two hundred miles out of the city, which is not weaker than Yuan Shao's!

Sun Ce's current military strength, prestige and reputation all deserve such courtesy.After all, Sun Ce personally led the elite cavalry to rescue him.

When he heard that Sun Ce was coming, Ji Ling withdrew his offensive to observe the situation.

After all, Liu Bei could hear the news, and Ji Ling was only a day or two away from the battle report of Sun Ce's defeat of Lu Bu.

This made General Yuan Jun even more afraid of Sun Ce, that is Lu Bu!The most powerful general in the world was defeated by Sun Ce directly on the battlefield.

It is rumored that even Lu Bu himself was stabbed by Sun Ce, and almost fell on the battlefield.

Among the generals of Yuan Jun, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui and other generals respected Sun Ce very much, and now with the prestige of Sun Ce's defeat of Lu Bu, General Yuan Jun was terrified when he heard Sun Ce's name, fearing him like a tiger.

In the midst of the attention of Yuan and Liu's armies, Sun Ce personally led cavalry and warships to Dongyang along the Huaihe River.

As the Jiangdong army appeared from the distant horizon, the flags fluttering all over the sky and the mighty sails lifted the civil and military spirits of all the Liu Beijun who greeted them.

Jian Yong, the confidant who followed Liu Bei, looked at the majestic and majestic Jiangdong army, and said to Liu Bei with a serious face: "Wu Hou's army has extremely fine armor and equipment, Zhu Qixuan armor, bows, crossbows and arrows. The three armies have strict military discipline and are well-trained. They are indeed a powerful force in the world. With such a strong army, the Marquis of Wu must aspire to be in Xuzhou. Duke Ming has to be alert to his intention to destroy Guo by false means."

Liu Bei looked solemn, and said: "Now is the time for me to join forces with Marquis Wu to defeat the enemy, so don't speculate. I believe Marquis Wu is a hero in the world, so I won't do such a small thing. Come with me to welcome Marquis Wu. "

Following Liu Bei's order, all the civil and military personnel under his tent followed him forward, warmly welcoming the arrival of the alliance.

Liu Bei's generals Guan Yu and Chen Dao took the opportunity to look at Jiangdong's military appearance. Chen Dao was from Runan, and he was a fierce general in Cai Ru's area. Like Chen Qun, he was a talent who joined Liu Bei when Liu Bei was the governor of Yuzhou.

Therefore, Chen Dao had seen Liu Bei's army at its peak, but it seemed that even if he was born in Wuhuan Huqi in Youzhou, he was far inferior to the current Jiangdong cavalry!

Not only is the opponent in full military uniform, the red robe and black armor are shining in the world, but also the men and horses are covered with heavy armor, gold and iron horses, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

Chen Dao couldn't help being amazed, and asked Guan Yu, "General Guan, this Jiangdong iron cavalry is majestic and majestic. It is like a powerful army in the world. How is it compared to Lu Bu's Bingzhou iron cavalry?"

Guan Yu had just been defeated by Lv Bu in Haixi. He sympathized with the soldiers and was proud of the scholar-bureaucrats. Therefore, he was quite pleasant to Chen Dao, stroked his beard, and said solemnly: "It's hard to evaluate how brave and brave. But Lv Bu's cavalry The army is far inferior to Jiangdong. This will be our great enemy in the future."

Chen Dao was a little surprised to hear such a solemn evaluation from the always proud Guan Yu.

Even Tian Yu on the side looked up at the elite cavalry who was coming slowly into the distance with his neck up. He exclaimed, "Jiangdong's talented cavalry really deserves its reputation. Such an elite cavalry is hard to compare with even Youzhou's sudden cavalry. "

Tian Yu already had the intention of returning home, and wanted to ask Liu Bei to resign on the grounds of his mother's old age.

But Tian Yu is only 25 years old this year, very young.Where can his mother grow old?
It's just that Tian Yu, like Chen Qun, concluded that with Liu Bei's talent, it would be difficult to establish a great cause in the Central Plains.

Tian Yu was sure that once he asked Liu Shijun to return, Liu Shijun would understand what he meant.

It wasn't until today when he saw the Jiangdong iron cavalry that he was completely determined that the Central Plains is not where his achievements are.

With the generals under Liu Shijun's current command, why should he compete with such a powerful army as Marquis Wu?

If Marquis Wu intends to participate in the competition in the Central Plains, he will definitely be unable to stop his troops.

And looking at Marquis Wu, who is approaching with great vigor and high spirits, Tian Yu has no doubt that Marquis Wu must have the ambition to be great in the world!After all, this is a hero who calls out to establish a heart for the world, a life for the people, and peace for all generations!

He has tens of thousands of powerful troops and thousands of cavalry, how could he shrink back and defend himself in Jiangdong?
At this time, Sun Ce, who was watched by all the civil and military men under Liu Bei, was laughing boldly as he got off his horse, shook hands with Liu Bei excitedly, and said: "Mr. Liu, I have been admired for a long time! It is a blessing in life to finally meet the hero today." ah!"

Looking at the heroic man in brocade robes in front of him, Sun Ce also felt a lot of emotion. Liu Bei is a truly glorious hero of an era.

If there is no Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms, the heroism of this entire era will be eclipsed.The heroic spirit of the Three Kingdoms is one stone, and Liu Bei monopolizes the Eight Dou.

Throughout the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei and Sun Ce were the only princes who did not slaughter or plunder.

It's a pity that in history, it was only a few short years from the start of the Little Overlord to the end of the war. He passed away like a meteor. hero.

How many people in the later generations understand the Three Kingdoms from the beginning of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

What is more respectable than the interpretation is this hero, whose indomitable will and tenacity and hardworking spirit finally achieved the Shu Han's imperial hegemony.

The more ordinary people are, the more they can feel the admiration of this will.

How many people are completely devastated after a defeat.How many people can achieve such repeated defeats and perseverance?

Therefore, Sun Ce's respect for Liu Bei is absolutely sincere.

This made Liu Bei a little surprised. He had always heard that Jiangdong was talented, arrogant and domineering, and arrogant all his life.

Including the ministers of civil and military affairs under his command, they all thought that at the age of Wu Hou's weak crown, he was young and successful, and he must be full of vigor and look down upon the world.

That's why he specially led the civil and military soldiers, and went out of the camp for thirty miles to meet them, only thinking that Marquis Wu, who came to help the battle, would look at them with his chin raised.

I really didn't expect Wu Hou to be so respectful to the corporal.

However, he has the bearing of not changing his face when Mount Tai collapses in front of him. There is no abnormality in his complexion. He said with a smile: "Marquis Wu swallows thousands of miles like a tiger, and his power shakes the sea. You will know what a hero is when you see it today."

After the courtesies, Liu Bei began to introduce his followers to greet Sun Ce, and naturally his right-hand man Guan Yu was the first to come.

Liu Bei introduced: "This is our general Guan Yu, whose style name is Yunchang. He is brave enough to be undeserved. I hope he can help Marquis Wu to defeat Ji Ling's army."

Guan Yu is nine feet tall, a true champion of the three armies, unsurpassed, and a tiger minister in the present. He went forward and bowed his hands solemnly, saying: "Yu pays homage to General Sun, and is willing to work together with General Sun to defeat the strong captives. "

Sun Ce nodded with a smile, helped Guan Yu himself, and said, "As early as I was in the army, I heard that Yi De said that his elder brother Guan Yun Changxiong was powerful and invincible in the world. Seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation!"

Invincible in the world is not an exaggeration.

In terms of personal bravery, Guan Yu is basically regarded as the best in the world.After all, stabbing Yanliang alone among thousands of troops, Guan Gong is the only one in the whole world.

The Battle of the White Horse is like a myth.

There was no conspiracy at that time, but Guan Yuyu saw Yan Liang Huigai (the canopy of the banner used by the general), so he rode his horse and rushed into the thousands of troops, killing all the way through the enemy's formation, rushed in front of Yan Liang, and then stabbed him in front of Yan Liang. Among the thousands of people, the generals of Yuan Shao's army cannot be the ones who beheaded and returned.

Just by looking at the Battle of Huaipu, we can roughly infer Guan Yu's strength in this battle.

Sun Ning led a hundred men in elite iron armor, clothed with fish scales, and under the impact of Lu Bu, it would be difficult to kill Sun Ning.In the face of dozens of excellent spears piercing in all directions, Lu Bu suffered a wound to his left arm and had to retreat.

Zhang Fei led his personal guards to attack the trapped camp of 700 people, and he was wounded all over his body. After the bloody battle, he fell into a coma.

Guan Yu was in the midst of the crowd, and the assassin would dismount from the horse, then jumped off the horse, chopped off his head, and broke through the encirclement.Yuan Shaojun's countless generals and soldiers could not stop him.

The marriage between Liu, Guan and Zhang is a fiction, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are really brothers, and Zhang Fei has always regarded Guan Yu as a brother.

So Guan Yu was also very concerned about Zhang Fei. When he didn't see Zhang Fei, he asked, "Dare to ask Marquis Wu, where is Yide? Why didn't you return to Dongyang?"

Sun Ce replied frankly and directly: "Yide was seriously injured in the Battle of Huaipu. He was hit by dozens of arrows, wounded several times, bled several liters, and was unconscious. I have sent him to Wu County together with other injured soldiers. , do your best to treat them."

"Liu Shijun, please rest assured that Yide and Xuzhou soldiers fought in Huaipu. The whole army was full of flesh and blood, and the three armies were strong. They made great achievements. To defeat Lu Bu, I bow to the great. Gu will definitely not sit idly by and ignore his injuries, he will surely fall to the east Financial resources, all-out treatment! They will be safe and sound, alive and well."

On the battlefield, soldiers will inevitably be injured.Veteran generals like Liu Bei and Guan Yu who have been on the battlefield can understand it.

Guan Yu was just curious as to why his brother was willing to fight to the death, regardless of his own life, to fight hard to defeat the enemy.

And Liu Bei was even more heroic, saying: "Yi De is strong and brave, which proves that my covenant is stronger than Jin Jian. His injury, I have to take care of it."

Liu Bei is very reasonable. Based on what Marquis Wu said about Zhang Fei's injury, if Jiang Dong really doesn't care about it and sends it to Dongyang, I'm afraid Xuzhou civil and military can only stand in front of Zhang Fei's bed, watching him dying, and there is nothing he can do. .

Sending her to Wu County to take full care of her was already the best solution that could be thought of at that time.

After this episode, Liu Bei continued to introduce his subordinates to Sun Ce. He pointed to a handsome scribe in a soap robe and a sash beside him and introduced: "This is my job in Xuzhou, surnamed Chen. , the name is Qun, and the character is Changwen. He is the grandson of Chen Gong, a gentleman of the party, and the son of Chen Yuanfang, Dahonglu."

Chen Gong is also Chen Shi. This is one of the three monarchs of the party members. It can be said that he is famous all over the world.

Sun Ce smiled and looked at Chen Qun. This is a real talent for governing the world. Cao Wei was able to set things right and rebuild the ritual system and laws. It can be said that Chen Qun contributed a lot. It was he who formulated the "Wei Law".This is equivalent to the contribution of Fazheng, Zhuge Liang, Liu Ba, Li Yan, Yi Ji and others to revise "Shu Ke".

What Chen Qun is more known to later generations is that he formulated the famous Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System.

Regardless of the advantages and disadvantages of this system, daring to propose a new system will have extraordinary significance for the reconstruction of the national ritual system.

Any force must have a system for selecting talents, whether it is the procuratorial system, the nine-rank system, or the imperial examination system, the key is to be able to convince people, so that all talents in the world can participate in this ritual system.

Even for bandits who rob houses, there is an internal standard for selecting talents, and those who dare to fight and fight are the top.

Reconstructing the ritual system has an unparalleled status in turning a chaotic world into a governing one.

If Jiangdong wants to replace the Han Dynasty and win people's hearts, the most important thing is to use Jiangdong's method of selecting talents and the way of governing the world to replace the Han Dynasty.If the talents are all selected by Jiangdong's election method, then naturally they will support Jiangdong more than the Han Dynasty.

For the talent of Chen Qun, Sun Ce is sure to win!This is my Minister of Rites, who is responsible for setting up guidelines and disciplines for myself and revising laws.

When thinking of Chen Ji, Sun Ce naturally thought of Chen Qun's father. His father's name was Chen Ji, and his character was Yuanfang.

After Chen Qun respectfully paid a respectful visit, Sun Ce helped him up and said to him, "Mr. Chen is famous all over the world. He is such a gentleman that everyone in the world respects him. However, the Han Dynasty is unfortunate, and the emperor's order has lost its order. Dong Zhuo has harmed the world. The land of Ru Ying, It is completely in ruins, and hundreds of miles of territory are cut off. Linggong has made great contributions to the world, but he has been disturbed and displaced in his later years. It is truly lamentable. I don’t know where Linggong is now? If there is no place to settle down, you can come to Jiangdong to settle down. I have admired Mr. Chen's learning for a long time, and I would like to invite Mr. Chen to set up a school in Jiangdong to educate the people."

Hearing this, Chen Qun was sad: "You are not filial! My father is nearly seventy years old, and he is still forced by the war. He is displaced and has no food and clothing. Now he lives in Xiapi."

Faced with Chen Qun's sorrow, the lieutenant generals of Liu Bei's army felt sorry for him.

Now the army is trapped in a county in Dongyang, wandering around, and their wives, daughters, and parents have nothing to support them. This is the biggest worry that plagues the lieutenants.

Even many wives and daughters of soldiers were in Xiapi, which were captured by Lu Bu.The morale of the army has always been difficult to stabilize, which is why Liu Bei's army was repeatedly broken by Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, and Chen Qun, Tian Yu and others left one after another.

At this time, Sun Ce looked around and said to all the soldiers: "I am here alone to help Liu Shijun defeat Yuan Shu, so that you can go north to retake Xiapi and restore your family business!"
