Chapter 516 Dong Xi saves Sun Ce
Later, the coalition forces of the aristocratic family were defeated by Lu Bu's Central Army, but Sun Jian lost many people in the previous war and was unable to continue to plot against Chen State, so he was given the promotion of Lu Bu and became the prefect of Yingchuan.
Sun Jian is in Yingchuan, with Yuan Shao's Jingzhou to the south, Yuan Shao's Runan County to the east, Liu Chong's Chen State, Liu Biao's Yuzhou, and Dong Zhuo's Henan County to the northwest. It can be said that he is surrounded by enemies on all sides, so it is not easy. Fortunately, with Lu Bu's secret help, he can stand firm.
Based on the three thousand children of Jiangdong, Sun Jian actively recruited soldiers and horses in Yingchuan. After the weapons promised by Lu Bu were in place, Sun Jian's 3,000 troops quickly expanded into 30,000 troops. Sun Jian strictly followed the military farming policy and military training standards of the Central Army of Lu Bu. After a year, he obtained 30,000 elite troops, with sufficient soldiers and food. Sun Jian was no longer satisfied with trapping a place, but actively attacked.
Sun Jian's Yingchuan County is mostly mountainous at the foot of Mount Song, with a population of only more than 300,000. The Chen State in northeast of Yingchuan was a population of one million, which was very rich. Sun Jian remembered the prefect of Chen County that Lu Bu promised him before, so he raised 30,000 troops and led the emperor's edict sent to him by Lu Bu before and attacked Chen State.
The 100,000 people gathered in a hurry by King Chen and Liu Chong were simply a mob, and they were defeated step by step under Sun Jian's fierce offensive. Liu Chong's prime minister Luo Jun offered advice and asked Liu Chong to join forces with the governor of Yuzhou Liu Biao and Jingzhou Yuan Shao to deal with the aggressive Sun Jian.
Since Yuan Shao sent someone to assassinate Sun Jian, he has been worried about Sun Jian's revenge. Later, seeing Sun Jian's development in Yingchuan was very powerful and he was very afraid of Sun Jian. After receiving a letter from King Chen Liu Chong, he immediately sent General Wen Chou to join the Xiangyang clan of Yuan Shao's aristocratic family, Kuai Liang, who was a new family strategist under Yuan Shao, to lead 20,000 troops to attack Yingchuan County from Runan County. After Sun Jian's retreat, Sun Jian left only a few troops in Yingchuan County, and Wen Chou's army arrived. As if it was unstoppable, Yingchuan County was soon occupied by Wen Chou.
Sun Jian also attacked Chen County in the center of Chen State with great force on the front line of Chen State. Sun Jian learned that his foundation was broken by Wen Chou, a general under Yuan Shao. But he didn't care. This time he brought his wife and children with him. Only by taking Chen State could he use this place as a base. With a million people in his hands, he would regain his vitality and even sweep the land of a state. His vigorous ambition made Sun Jian launch a fierce attack on Chen County regardless of everything.
Just when Sun Jian was about to take down Chen County, Liu Biao's reinforcements rushed over from Qiao County, the capital of Yuzhou. The leader was Liu Biao's general, Lu Gong. Lu Gong led 20,000 troops to support King Chen Liu Chong. However, Sun Jian was strong and strong. Although he had few people, he defeated Lu Gong step by step.
Just when Liu Biao and Liu Chong's coalition were unable to do anything to Sun Jian, Kuai Liang, a native of Xiangyang who had been the prefect of Sun Jian in Changsha, rushed to the Lu Gong army. He came up with a plan that ruined Sun Jian's life.
Lu Gong sent troops again to fight against Sun Jian. Sun Jian was determined to annihilate all the remaining troops of Lu Gong and shocked Liu Biao. He led the army to attack and kill.
After a little resistance, Mr. Lu refused and sued him for defeat and retreated to Qiao County.
Sun Jian took the lead, waved the ancient ingot knife, and chased him relentlessly, insisting on defeating Mr. Lu. Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others quickly led their troops to follow.
After chasing for several miles, the remaining soldiers of Lu Gong fled into a valley. Because Lu Gong lost consecutive battles, Sun Jian despised Lu Gong very much, so he was unprepared and led his army into the valley and continued to pursue Lu Gong.
Sun Jian's flower-maned horse was a thousand-mile horse. He ran quickly and came alone. When he saw Lu Gong, he shouted, "Don't leave if you lose!" Lu Gong turned back to the horse and fought Sun Jian. After only one round of horses, Lu Gong walked away and flashed into the mountain road. Sun Jian refused to give up, and then rushed in, but Lu Gong disappeared in his eyes. Just as he was about to go up the mountain to search and chase after him, suddenly a gong sounded, and big rocks on the mountain fell down one after another, and arrows were fired in the forest.
It turned out that Gong Lu followed Kuai Liang's plan and laid two hundred archers and two hundred swords and weapons to throw big stones on both sides of the valley.
Even though Sun Jian was brave, he was ambushed in the valley and rode alone, with no one guarding him. The countless flying stone arrows pouring down all fell on Sun Jian. That was why Sun Jian's brain was broken and his body was incomplete. He died in the valley with his people and horses.
Seeing that Sun Jian died in battle, Mr. Lu quickly raised the red flag on the mountain as Kuai Liang's previous instructions.
Wen Chou, who came out of Yingchuan County and Liu Chong, the King of Chen in Chen County, saw the red flag on the mountain. He knew that Lu Gong had succeeded. Sun Jian, the Jiangdong tiger who was in charge of the first to avoid arrows and stones, had been ambushed and killed. He went out together to attack the Sun family army without the leader. The Sun family army knew that the commander was dead and his morale was greatly reduced. Under the attack of Liu Chong and Wen Chou, there was chaos and the army was in ruins.
When Sun Ce and others saw Sun Jian tragically die in the valley, they were in vain. Fortunately, they were protected by Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others and broke through the siege.
Wen Chou and Liu Chong have been leading the army to chase after him. Cheng Pu protected Sun Ce and was eager to find a way. When he met Lu Gong, Cheng Pu rode his horse forward. After a few rounds, he stabbed Lu Gong with one spear and caught another spear and killed Lu Gong.
King Chen Liu Chong relied on his courage and stepped forward to fight, but was beaten to death by Huang Gai.
But after Wen Chou took action, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang were not opponents, and Sun Ce was in power and could not resist, so he had to flee in a hurry.
I originally wanted to escape back to Yingchuan County, but Yingchuan had been occupied by Yuan Shao's troops and did not take Chen County as a base. The original base had been lost, and Sun Ce and others were like dogs that were lost, and they were in a panic and were in a panic.
Sun Ce was completely disappointed and wanted to commit suicide at that time to follow his dead father.
Huang Gai and others stopped him desperately, and Cheng Pu shouted loudly: "Young Master, don't do this, keep the green mountains there, don't be afraid of burning firewood!"
Sun Ce sighed to the sky: "We have no soldiers and horses now, and we have lost our foundation, and we are already at a loss."
Huang Gai said sternly: "If this is the case for the young master, where will you place your mother and younger brothers and sisters? Where will you place us soldiers who have followed the first master for many years? Please reorganize your spirits!"
Huan Jie, the counselor recruited by Sun Jian, said, "I have a word from my subordinates, I don't know if I should say it or not."
Sun Ce hurriedly said, "It's time? Sir, please speak out."
Huan Jie hurriedly offered advice: "Young Lord, the First Lord has an old relationship with General Lu Bu, the cavalry general. Before, it was because General Lu had secretly helped him, so the First Lord could regroup. When the First Lord was alive, he attacked Dong Zhuo, and was in a similar mood with General Lu Bu, and was very close to each other. Before leaving, he even formed brothers of the opposite sex.
Moreover, General Lu, like the first lord, was born in a Han concubine and was most disagreeable with Yuan Shao, who came from a noble family. Moreover, General Lu treated the emperor to fight against unjust officials, and most did not tolerate those rioters who did not obey the king's orders. Looking at Yuan Shao, Liu Biao's actions were exactly what General Lu hated.
Since the young master has no other way, why not save his family and temporarily go to General Lu, borrow troops from him, and avenge Liu Biao and Yuan Shao."
Sun Ce asked: "Nanyang Prefect Yuan Shu has an old age with my father, so why should I join him?"
Huan Jie shook his head suddenly and said, "The Nanyang Prefect Yuan Shu is very talented and has no ability to govern and lead troops. He is under the attack of Yuan Shao in Jingzhou in the south and Dong Zhuo in Luoyang in the north. He will be in danger. In less than a few months, he will be destroyed and unable to gain a foothold. He may not be able to go to join him, and he will be implicated by him. Moreover, the road to Nanyang has been blocked by Yuan Shao's men and cannot be passed through.
Now Lu Bu is in charge of the great power of the Yecheng court, dominating the four prefectures of Jizhou, Bingzhou, Shuozhou and Qingzhou. He is the world's number one force. What's more, Xingyang County leading to Jizhou is a blank area of power, which is easy to pass. If the young master wants to avenge Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, he has nothing to do except to defect to General Lu."
Sun Ce hesitated for a moment and said, "I am now at the end of my journey and go to join me. Even though General Lu is thinking about his friendship with his father, he may not reuse me, nor will he lend me troops. Why should I make trouble for myself?"
Huan Jie smiled and said, "Young Master, you are so bad. I heard that Lu Bu is eager for talent, but only talent is the only way to do it. The young master is young and has such force and such a courage. Unless Lu Bu is blind, how can he stay idle at the young master? As for the matter of borrowing troops, we will adapt to the situation at that time."
Zhu Zhi, a native of Danyang who was engaged in Danyang, also advised: "Young Master, it is not difficult for the young master to borrow troops. Yuan Shao got Yingchuan County, and when King Chen Liu Chong was beaten to death by General Huang, Yuan Shao got Chen State again, and his power increased greatly. Lu Bu has always been afraid of Yuan Shao, but Liu Dai from Yanzhou was far behind. If the young master explained to Lu Bu, he would like to invite a team of people to develop his hometown Wu County and attack Yuan Shao from the south of Jingzhou from the south, Lu Bu would definitely agree."
Sun Ce calmed down and thought carefully about what Huan Jie and Zhu Zhi said, which made a lot of sense. He then asked Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Sun Jing and others for their opinions. Everyone agreed and they protected Sun Ce's mother Wu and Sun Ce's younger brothers and sisters together to withdraw towards Jizhou.
Wen Chou led 10,000 elite soldiers and chased them reluctantly. Sun Ce had thousands of troops, but when he came to the bank of the Yellow River, there were only more than 200 people left. The rest were either killed by Wen Chou's army, or they just ran away in scattered and fled according to the situation of the Sun family.
Sun Ce and others ran to the Yellow River. The water of the Yellow River in April was vast and vast. It was standing in front of them. There was a big river blocking the road in front and a large army chasing them behind, and there was no hope of survival.
Just as Sun Ce and others were disappointed and were about to turn around and launch a suicide attack on Wen Chou's 10,000 army, two hundred warships appeared quickly on the river surface. The red flag flying on the warship was embroidered with the First Brigade of the Yellow River Naval Division of the Han Central Army. Sun Ce and others were ecstatic when they saw the big flag. When they boarded the ship, they realized that Dong Shi, the general of the navy under Lu Bu, was ordered by Gan Ning, to lead two thousand navy troops to pick up Sun Ce.
Sun Ce saw that Dong Xi was a big mouth and was eight feet tall, and was very handsome. He was happy at the time and wanted to recruit Dong Xi under his command. However, he knew that his situation was based on Lu Bu. How could he dig out Lu Bu's corner? He just tried to make friends with Dong Xi as much as possible. (To be continued)
