Chapter 97 The situation in the world

But Yuan Shu didn't think about it. Now that the whole country was influenced by Dong Zhuo and Liu Bin, every prince was expanding his strength and recruiting troops. Now no one had much food, so how could Liu Biao lend him surplus food! Moreover, the Nanyang and other places occupied by Yuan Shu were still Liu Biao's territory. It would be good if Liu Biao didn't hold him accountable! Now he borrowed food from Liu Biao, and of course Liu Biao refused to the truth. Although Liu Biao refused openly, Yuan Shu didn't think so. Yuan Shu thought to himself: Jingzhou is a land of fish and rice, with a lot of money and grain. How could he have no surplus food to lend him? Then, Yuan Shu thought to himself that Yuan Shao asked Liu Biao to intercept Sun Jian, and Liu Biao immediately obediently did it. Liu Biao must be from Yuan Shao and his gang.

Yuan Shu was angry and became brave. He immediately sent a letter to Sun Jian, a subordinate who had been hiding in his name since he attacked Dong Zhuo, asking Sun Jian to send troops to attack Liu Biao. However, Yuan Shu also knew that although Sun Jian had nominally praised him, Sun Jian was essentially his own faction. Therefore, Yuan Shu's letters to Sun Jian were still relatively tactful, mainly focusing on provocation.

When Sun Jian took the letter, he saw that the letter mainly told him that Liu Biao was from the same group as Yuan Shao. At that time, he was intercepted and blocked by Liu Biao, which was the order given by Yuan Shao. Now, after Yuan Shao became more powerful and advanced, he intends to seize his treasure and is preparing to join forces with Liu Biao to attack him again. Yuan Shu could not see his subordinates suffer losses, so he sent him a letter and was ready to help him deal with Yuan Shao, so he could fight against Liu Biao with peace of mind. At that time, Yuan Shu would be happy with Jizhou and Jingzhou. After Sun Jian read it, he laughed loudly. At that time, the generals gathered to discuss the matter.

After reading the letter, Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "Yuan Shu is cunning, and this matter is not necessarily credible." Sun Jian laughed and said, "How can I not know about Yuan Shu? But what does it have to do with Yuan Shu? Can we still expect Yuan Shu to help us?" After Sun Jian obtained the jade seal, he thought he had a sign of destiny, so he was most enthusiastic about fighting for dominance in the world. Just now, Sun Jian deliberately followed Yuan Shu's opinion. Revenge was one aspect, and the most important thing was that Liu Biao had last time

It was for the jade seal to intercept him, and Yuan Shao had also pursued him before. Therefore, this time when Yuan Shu said that, Sun Jian believed it. Secondly, Sun Jian only occupied a small part of Jiangdong, but in order to achieve great things, he also followed other princes to expand his army wildly. Sun Jian is a little unbearable now. Conquering Jingzhou and alleviating his economic pressure was also a big temptation for Sun Jian. That was why Sun Jian was so determined to attack Liu Biao!

Sun Jian had made up his mind, so he sent Huang Gai to the riverside to arrange warships first, loading more military equipment, food and grass, and loading war horses, and conquering the Japanese army to fight against Liu Biao in Jingzhou! The news that Sun Jian was going to attack Jingzhou was found out by the spies from Jingzhou, and quickly reported it to Liu Biao. After hearing this, Liu Biao was shocked and quickly recruited subordinates from Jingzhou to discuss how to resist! However, Kuai Liang, who was under Liu Biao, did not give it for nothing, and he advised Liu Biao: "

Lord, don’t worry. I have the natural danger of the Yangtze River as a basis, so how can Sun Jian come across the river and lake? Is it possible to use martial arts? The general Huang Zu led the troops of Jiangxia as the front drive. Lord, who led the troops of Jingxiang as the support, is enough to be worry-free." So, Huang Zu, who was under Liu Biao, and Kuai Yue, the Kuai brothers, were sent to Jiangxia by Liu Biao to prevent him. Zhang Xiu, in Wancheng, held Dong Zhuo as his backer, and also set up a carriage and horse to pick up the bargain.

Sun Jian had a younger brother, named Jing and the courtesy name Youtai. Before the army left, Sun Jian led Sun Jian's sons to come and bow to the horse and advised, "Now Dong Zhuo is tyrannical, the emperor is cowardly, and the country is in chaos, and each dominates the other side; Jiangdong is a little calm, and he raises heavy troops with a small hatred, which is not suitable. I hope my brother will pay attention to it." After hearing this, Sun Jian shook his head and said, "Don't say too much. I will dominate the world, how can I not revenge if I have any grudges!" The eldest son Sun Ce said, "If my father wants to go, my son is willing to follow him." After hearing this, Sun Jian thought about it, and finally agreed! So Sun Jian and Sun Ce boarded the ship and rushed to Fancheng.

Huang Zu buried his crossbowman on the riverside. When he saw the Jiangdong military ship beside the shore, he ordered all arrows to be fired. After seeing this, Sun Jian couldn't help but sneer, asking his troops not to move easily, but just let the soldiers hide in the ship and drive back and forth on the Yangtze River, luring the Jingzhou army to continue firing arrows! In this way, the Jiangdong army pretended to be docking dozens of times for three consecutive days, while the Jingzhou army only shot arrows back and forth, for three consecutive days, the army reserved arrows.

It was consumed, and the Jiangdong Army took the opportunity to obtain hundreds of thousands of arrows. This was also a way to borrow arrows from a straw boat! On the same day, Sun Jian was overjoyed and ordered the soldiers to fire arrows together. The Jingzhou army on the shore could not hesitate and had to retreat. The Jiangdong Army took the opportunity to land. Cheng Pu and Huang Gai divided their troops into two groups and took Huang Zu's camp. Han Dang drove the troops forward. He attacked from three sides. Huang Zu was defeated and could only abandon Fancheng and walked into Dengcheng.

Sun Jian ordered Huang Gai to guard the ship and personally lead the troops to pursue. Huang Zu led the army out to welcome him and set up the formation in the field. The Jiangdong army formed a formation, and Sun Jian came out to his horse under the gate flag. Sun Ce also wore a full dress and immediately stood up to his father's side. Huang Zu led two generals to go on horseback, one was Zhang Hu in Jiangxia and the other was Chen Sheng in Xiangyang. Huang Zu raised his whip and cursed: "How dare the rat thieves in Jiangdong, how dare you invade the Han clan!" After that, he ordered Zhang Hu to fight. Han Ding came out to welcome him in Sun Jian's formation. The two cavalry were watching.

After more than twenty rounds of battle, Chen Zhu saw Zhang Hu's strength and was helping him. Sun Ce saw that he held the gun in his hand, pulled the bow and arrow, and shot Chen Sheng in the face. Ying Xian fell off the horse. Zhang Hu was shocked when he saw Chen Sheng falling to the ground, caught him off guard, and was cut off half of his head by Han. Cheng Pu rode his horse straight to the front of the formation to capture Huang Zu. Huang Zu abandoned his helmet and fought with his horse, and fled in the infantry. Sun Jian covered his defeated army and ordered Huang Gai to moor the ship into the Han River.

Huang Zu gathered the defeated army and came to see Liu Biao, exaggeratedly saying that Jian was unstoppable. When Liu Biao heard this, he panicked and quickly asked Kuai Liang to discuss. Kuai Liang thought for a while and said, "He is now defeated, and the soldiers have no intention of fighting; you can only have deep ditches and high bases to avoid his edge; at the same time, you can ask Yuan Shao to ask for help, and this siege can be solved." Cai Mao shook his head and retorted: "Zi Rou's words are too timid! When the army is at the city, it is about to reach the trench, how can we wait for death? Although I am not talented, I am willing to ask the army to leave the city to fight." Liu Biao also agreed with Cai Mao's opinion! We agreed to let Cai Mao lead the army to fight! Cai Mao led more than 10,000 troops out of Xiangyang City and set up a formation on Xianshan. Since Sun Jian won a great victory last time, he has become arrogant. He led his army to advance and headed straight for Jingzhou

The ruling center! It happened to meet Cai Mao's army! Cai Mao came out. After seeing it, Sun Jian said, "This person is Liu Biao's brother, who will capture me?" Cheng Pu heard it and took out his horse with an iron spine and fought with Cai Mao. In less than a few times, Cai Mao was defeated. Sun Jian commanded the army and attacked the Jingzhou army, killing the corpses of the Jingzhou army everywhere. Cai Mao had no choice but to escape. Kuai Liang said that Cai Mao was eager to advance, which led to a great defeat. According to military law, he should be killed. Liu Biao had just married Cai Mao's sister as his wife, so he naturally didn't want to punish his brother-in-law now! However, Liu Biao also knew that Cai Mao had indeed caused a big disaster this time, so he followed Kuai Liang's plan, deep ditches and high avenues, hiding in the city to resist the attack of the Jiangdong army, and at the same time sent people to find Yuan Shao, hoping that Yuan Shao would lend a helping hand!

Sun Jian divided his troops around and surrounded Xiangyang to attack. One day, a sudden strong wind suddenly broke, and the flagpole of the Central Army of Jiangdong Army was blown away. After seeing this, Han Dang said to Sun Jian: "Lord, the flagpole of the commander is broken. This is not a good omen. Let's go to the temporary station!" Sun Jian laughed and said: "We have won many battles and wins, and we only take Xiangyang in a short time. How can we withdraw the troops because of the wind? "So he did not follow Han Dang's reminder, but instead attacked the city more urgently. In the city, Kuai Liang found Liu Biao and said happily: "Lord! I watched the sky at one night and saw a general and star falling. I should divide the field and divide it. The lord should write a letter to Yuan Shao quickly to ask for help." After hearing this, Liu Biao quickly wrote a letter to himself.

Then ask who dares to break out. The strong general Lu Gong responded to his wish. Kuai Liang said, "Since you dare to go, then why not listen to my plan. Now give you 500 troops and more shooters to rush out of the formation, and then go straight to Xianshan. After seeing this, Sun Jian will definitely lead the army to chase you. You will divide 100 people up the mountain and look for stones to prepare; 100 people lie in the forest with bows and crossbows. When encountering pursuers, don't run away. You can ask someone to lead the Jiangdong army and keep surrounding the mountain, and finally lead to an ambush, and then attack them in groups. If you can win, set off the cannons in the city. If there are no pursuers, don't set off the cannons, and you can go straight. The moon is not very bright tonight, and you can leave the city at dusk."

After hearing Kuai Liang's plan, Lu Gong recruited troops, opened the east gate at dusk, and quietly led his army away! Logically speaking, they were so careful that they would not be discovered! But God has destined some people to be unlucky! Their fate has come to an end! Sun Jian was in the army and was planning to rest, but suddenly he heard a shout, so he brought dozens of personal guards out of the camp to see what was going on! Seeing Sun Jian coming out in person, the soldiers who were complexly observing the movements in the city said: "Just just now, we found a group of people coming out of the city and rushing towards Xianshan! That's why he shouted!" When Sun Jian heard this, a group of people came out, and must have gone out to rescue soldiers! Since there were not many people, Sun Jian did not notify the generals in the army, and he led dozens of personal guards to chase Xianshan! This pursuit can be considered as compensation for himself!
