The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 329 0330

Sun Jian has four generals under his command, known as the Four King Kongs.

The first one, Cheng Pu, is armed with an iron halberd and snake spear.

The second place, Huang Gai, is armed with an iron whip.

The third place, Han Dang, is armed with a long knife.

The fourth place, Zu Mao, is armed with male and female swords.

Sun Jian, who had regained his strength, led the Sun family army to Yangcheng.Hua Xiong's army was stationed in Yangcheng, but it was only a few days since the last defeat of Sun Jian. This time, Hua Xiong was not facing the previous Sun's army.

The soldiers of Sun Jiajun have a characteristic, everyone wears a turban on their heads, which can be regarded as a sign of Sun Jiajun.It's just that the soldiers all wear yellow turbans, but Sun Jian stands out, hoping to set an example for the soldiers of the whole army.So his turban is different from others because his turban is red.

When the soldiers couldn't see the coach Sun Jian, they only had to look for that little bit of red.Under normal circumstances, that little red will rush to the forefront of the team.

Of course this time was no exception, Sun Jian ordered people to come forward and call for battle, hoping to have a good fight with Hua Xiong.So many brothers have died, if Hua Xiong cannot be killed, then how will Sun Jian lead the Sun Jiajun in the future.

Hua Xiong was also in a frenzy, seeing that he was the defeated Sun Jian, he never thought of fighting in person.Instead, he sent his deputy general Hu Zhen out of the city to meet the enemy, sitting on the top of the city and waiting for Hu Zhen to come to announce the good news.

If it was Hua Xiong who fought, then Sun Jian would definitely fight in person.But Hua Xiong didn't take him seriously, and sending a lieutenant to fight obviously looked down on him.

Cheng Pu took the lead and asked to go to meet the enemy.Then the three of them were also eager to try, and finally Cheng Pu rushed out of his camp and went straight to Hu Zhen.

Cheng Pu put the iron halberd and snake spear across his chest, and then rushed towards Hu Zhen with a whip.The moment Hu Zhen raised the weapon in his hand and slashed at him, Cheng Pu bent down to avoid it and then increased his strength a little bit.It can be said that he didn't make a move at all, because the iron halberd and serpent spear had been placed horizontally on his chest from beginning to end.But Hu Zhen had already lost his life, and died of exhaustion after falling off the horse.

Behind Cheng Pu came the thunderous shouts of Sun Jiajun, and Cheng Pu charged towards the city gate on horseback.The city gate guard was stunned by the scene just now, and only now realized that he wanted to close the city gate.As soon as Cheng Pu arrived at the city gate, Hua Xiong, the head of the city, waved his hand, and the hidden archer suddenly appeared, and then shot wave after wave of feathered arrows at Cheng Pu.

Yiqi came quietly, gave the shield to Cheng Pu, and held up the two special shields one after the other.Cheng Pu returned safely, but the man had long since disappeared.

"Brother Long Fei, you were so handsome just now."

Long Fei, who rescued Cheng Pu, returned to the crowd, but was held by the hem of his clothes by Sun Shangxiang and refused to let go.He looked at Long Fei with a nympho, as if he wanted to say all the compliments in his mind.

"Okay, Xiang'er, this is a war and it's not a joke. Maybe people will die at any moment. Let's go back to the camp. It's at least safer there than here." Long Fei said to Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shangxiang didn't buy Long Fei's account, Sun Shangxiang listened to everything he said, but listening didn't mean he would do it.She just likes being with so many people, and she won't go back anyway.

Hu Zhen was beheaded by Sun Jian's men, but he couldn't resist for a round.Hua Xiong on the top of the wall ate so much that he almost choked himself to death.Only then did he realize that he had underestimated Sun Jian. This man actually had such a fierce man under his command, and it seemed that there was more than one of them.Hua Xiong didn't dare to fight lightly, so he implemented a strategy of avoiding and not fighting against Sun Jian.

Hua Xiong could afford it, but Sun Jian couldn't.If Hua Xiong doesn't fight with him, then he must guard outside Yangcheng.Find the right time to attack the city, and then you can go straight to Luoyang.

The quartermaster came to report that there was not much food and grass left in the army.Not to mention ten and a half months, I am afraid that three to five days is the limit.Sun Jian was furious when he heard the words, and reprimanded the quartermaster for why he had only come to report.After listening to the quartermaster's explanation, Sun Jian wrote a letter and sent it to Yuan Shu.Because according to the leader Yuan Shao's instructions, Yuan Shu should have provided him with food and grass as early as a week ago.

Nanyang City, Yuan Shu Mansion.

After eating the grilled skewers that he hadn't tasted for a long time, Yuan Shu lay on the rocking chair humming a ditty while hiccupping.Just when he was at his happiest, the steward came to report that Sun Jian had sent someone to deliver the letter.Yuan Shu didn't have such a good temper, so he asked the housekeeper to keep the letter and drive people away.He didn't even look down on Yuan Shao, the leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces, let alone a small Changsha prefect.

The letter was handed over to Yuan Shu, and after it was opened, it was sent to the counselors around him.Yuan Shu wanted to hear the opinions of his counselors. He refused to provide Sun Jian with food and grass earlier, probably because he was angry with Yuan Shao.Why should a son born to a woman who doesn't even have a decent title compete for power with the son born to a legitimate wife?

But now Sun Jian wrote to him, and the matter changed from him and Yuan Shao to a matter between him and Sun Jian.How to do this matter really needs to be carefully considered by him.

The counselor gave Yuan Shu three suggestions, which can be said to be three options.

One is the best policy, the second is the middle policy, and the third is the worst policy.

He wrote back to Sun Jian, promising to provide him with food and grass for military supplies. On the surface, he obeyed Yuan Shao's orders, but in fact he had to listen to Yuan Shu's words. This is the best policy.

Ignore Sun Jian, and treat it as never happened. If Sun Jian still sends people over in the future, and discuss it again, this is the middle policy.

Rejecting Sun Jian forced Sun Jian to choose one of the two.Either you have no food and grass with Yuan Shao, or you can get food and grass with Yuan Shu, this is the worst policy.

But Yuan Shu didn't choose any of these three strategies, because he didn't want to look down on Yuan Shao at all.I don't think Yuan Shao has the ability to be equal to him. If he uses this method to win over Sun Jian, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting that Yuan Shao is better than him.

Then another counselor suggested that Sun Jian must never be provided with food and grass.The reason is simple, because Sun Jian is a Jiangdong tiger.Everyone knows that he is brave and good at fighting. If he has enough food and grass, he can definitely defeat Hua Xiong.After passing Yangcheng, go straight to Luoyang, maybe you will destroy Dong Zhuo in the shortest time.

Dong Zhuo is a jackal and Sun Jian is a tiger. If the jackal is exterminated and a tiger is raised, the final situation may be many times worse than it is now.

Yuan Shu agreed greatly upon hearing this, and this matter was decided so easily.Even if Sun Jian's entire army was wiped out, Yuan Shu would not provide him with a grain of food.

The news quickly reached Hua Xiong, who heard that Sun Jian was short of food and Yuan Shu was not going to provide food.Now Hua Xiong came up with another clever plan, using the same five hundred cavalry as before.Quietly go out of the city to attack Sun Jian's luggage, the focus is to burn Sun Jian's food and grass.

Hua Xiong is a professional in this matter, and he is very experienced in this kind of work.They quietly approached Sun Jian's camp, and then set fire to the remaining food and grass.

Then a large number of infantry rushed out from Yangcheng and surrounded the Sun family army who was in chaos.Sun Jian and several of his subordinates broke through the encirclement, but were pursued by the pursuers.

Everyone received an order from Hua Xiong, there was a reward for killing a man wearing a yellow turban, and a reward of [-] taels for killing the man wearing a red turban to be promoted to three ranks.

Now Hua Xiong's men went crazy, looking for the guy wearing the red turban like crazy.There is only one person in the entire Sun Family Army wearing a red turban, and this buddy is now running wildly with several subordinates.

Sun Jiajun was dispersed, and Sun Jian led only a few men out of the encirclement.But there were constant pursuers behind him, and the number of them was increasing, and the distance was getting closer.Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, Zu Mao, one of the Four Vajras, was in a hurry.He tore off the red turban from Sun Jian's head and put it on himself, urging Sun Jian to flee in another direction.

The green hills are left without worrying about no firewood, Zu Mao wants to use the red turban to attract pursuers, so that the lord Sun Jian can create a chance to escape.Sun Jian was very grateful to Zu Mao, but that was not the time to express his gratitude.Zu Mao rushed east, while Sun Jian headed west.

At the same time, Sun Ce, Sun Quan and Long Fei protected Sun Shangxiang in the middle, and there were many Sun family troops around to protect them.Little by little, the encirclement was torn apart, and then retreated towards the princes' camp.Compared to Sun Jian who was in a state of embarrassment, they were lucky enough.

Sun Jian was also lucky. On the road, he met Zu Mao who had escaped and returned after leading the pursuers away, as well as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Lin Dang.With these four people guarding Sun Jian, Sun Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Failure is the mother of success, and defeat is the father of victory.He had just killed Hu Zhen, and he hadn't experienced the joy of victory yet, but now he was beaten back to his original shape.Sun Jian was carried back to the camp by the four men, and went directly to Yuan Shao's tent after returning to the camp.

He is not a mother-in-law, but he must discuss this matter with Yuan Shao.Before dispatching troops, Yuan Shao had promised him that once he left the camp, there would be absolutely no problem with the logistics support.Whoever provides food and grass for military supplies will only make Sun Jiajun feel the warmth of home, and will not turn them into stepmothers.

But the fact is, the fact is that not only Sun Jiajun became raised by his stepmother, but also raised by his stepfather.They only learned that Yuan Shu refused to provide them with food and grass, and within two hours they were attacked by Hua Xiong.Moreover, it was the deadliest grain, which was completely burned by Hua Xiong.

Could there be no connection to this matter? Even Yuan Shao himself didn't believe it.After hearing what happened to Sun Jian, Yuan Shao lost his temper on the spot.In front of the princes, he scolded Yuan Shu as a guy who failed to accomplish anything but failed.Moreover, he even edited a book in front of Sun Jian, and sent it to Nanyang quickly.

But everyone present knew that Yuan Shao's actions were meaningless.It's just that everyone didn't expect that before Yuan Shao's letter arrived in Nanyang.Yuan Shu was already on his way here, and Yuan Shu's advisers were not just for nothing, they had already anticipated what would happen if Sun Jian was defeated.

This matter had to be settled properly, otherwise who would listen to Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, in the future?Praising Sun Jian and Sun Jiajun is indispensable, anyway, it is just a matter of lip service, and there is no need to pay anything.

Yuan Shao lavishly praised Sun Jian and Sun Jiajun, and wanted to hold a celebration banquet for Sun Jiajun.Although they were attacked by Hua Xiong, they also killed Hua Xiong's deputy Hu Zhen before that.Killing a lieutenant general of the enemy should be rewarded for meritorious deeds to Sun Jian and Sun Jiajun.

At the banquet, Sun Jian remained silent for a long time, nor did he exchange glasses with the visitors.Even if someone came to toast with him, he only had a symbolic drink.After this incident, he was already disheartened towards the Kwantung Allied Forces and had the intention of retreating.Soldiers raging one by one will raging raging nest.

With a leader like Yuan Shao, how could the Kwantung Allied Forces be invincible?If Sun Jian was replaced by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu dared to challenge his authority, he would definitely destroy Yuan Shu first.If you can't establish prestige in front of everyone, how can you command these people to fight against Dong Zhuo in the future.

Could it be that he thought that Liangzhou soldiers under Dong Zhuo were vegetarians?Or he didn't think about it at all, the people of the barren Liangzhou are tough.There are often conflicts with invading enemies from outside. All children over the age of ten have participated in actual combat, let alone those in their early twenties and thirties.

With many years of practical experience accumulated, everyone can count as ten.
