The city gates were wide open, and the chariots were dragging war drums. Liu Qi asked Chen Wu to lead a hundred unicorn troops to take the lead in rushing towards Sun Jian's barracks, which had just been unsecured.
Its formation is enough.
Zhao Yun had already lined up his troops outside the city following the Qilin Army, waiting for Sun Jian to lead his troops to fight.
Although today's Qilin Army has a hundred troops, they are all in iron armor. With one blocking ten, the elite cavalrymen who have experienced many battles are unstoppable under the leadership of Chen Wu. Behind Liu Qi, the black army is overwhelming like an overwhelming force.
The city gate poured out.
Sun Jian's camp was in chaos for a while. No one expected that Liu Qi would dare to fight hard, let alone that there were thousands of troops in Xinye City, and the formation was breathtaking.
"Kill." Sun Jian threw the bowl away. He didn't take a sip of the porridge and was disturbed by Liu Qi. His head became angry, he jumped on his horse, raised his gun and waved his army to kill.
The war drums rang loudly, and Liu Qi's army advanced step by step. After Chen Wu disrupted Sun Jian's position, he led the Qilin army back in time. This caused Sun Jian's army to become disordered, and Liu Qi took the lead.
Facing Liu Qi's army who was waiting in full formation, Sun Jian saw Liu Qi's intention of confronting him head-on, so he ordered the army to get into position, and inevitably exchanged curses with Liu Qi.
Seeing how powerful Sun Jian was, Liu Qi secretly sighed that this was the first time he saw Sun Jian, and perhaps the last time he saw Sun Jian. At this moment, Sun Jian was about to die.
Sun Jian cursed loudly: "The traitor Liu Qi is raising troops privately. If you don't hurry up and sacrifice the city, I will spare your life."
Liu Qi laughed loudly: "Sun Polu, you helped Yuan Shu to stop attacking the old traitor Dong Zhuo, but you came to invade my border in Jingzhou. What is your intention? You want to spare me, but I don't want you to live in this world.
Let me tell you, no one who offends me, Liu Qi, will have a good end. If Sun Polu doesn’t get off his horse and die quickly, it will save your 20,000 soldiers from being killed."
Sun Jian was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Wow, you little thief is really arrogant. If you don't let your horse come over, believe it or not, I will kill you with one shot?"
Liu Qi teased: "Does Sun Jian have no generals? How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? I have so many famous generals in my army. It's not my turn to kill you, a little thief."
"Lord, don't talk nonsense with that Sun thief. Just leave Sun thief to me." After Chen Wu led the Qilin army to attack Sun Jian's barracks for a while, he felt unsatisfied and took the initiative to ask for a fight.
Liu Qi said: "General Wu, start the killing."
Chen Wu rushed forward, but naturally it was not the coach's turn to fight. Sun Jian's men faced Chen Wu, and within three or two rounds, Chen Wu won.
Several of Sun Jian's subordinates were also thrown off his horse by Chen Wu. Sun Jian defeated several generals and was furious, so he fought in person.
Liu Qi winked at Zhao Yun and said, "It's time for General Zilong."
Zhao Yun raised the silver dragon spear, dismounted from the white dragon horse and stabbed Sun Jian at full speed, shouting: "General Wu, please rest for the time being, leave the thief Sun to me."
Chen Wu turned his horse around and replied: "General, be careful."
Hearing a choking sound, Sun Jian put aside Zhao Yun's silver spear. Feeling Zhao Yun's extraordinary strength, his horse neighed and took five steps back. He shouted at Zhao Yun: "Who are you? An unknown young man is qualified to fight with me. Let Liu Qi
Come up here, kid."
Zhao Yun chuckled: "I am Changshan Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. Only if you pass my test can you be qualified to fight with my master."
"Wow, I'll kill you arrogant guy first." Sun Jian was so angry that he vomited blood. He didn't expect Liu Qi's subordinates to be so arrogant. He regretted that he lacked generals, so he had to fight Changshan Zhao Zilong himself.
Sun Jian originally wanted to lead 20,000 men to attack Liu Qi's 10,000 troops. Sun Jian, who wanted to save his face, wanted to pick Zhao Yun to death and then attack the city. A mistake in his mind caused eternal hatred. When the battle with Zhao Yun reached the eighth round, Zhao Yun killed him with a carbine and stabbed him.
Zhao Yun pursued Sun Jian's arm, but Sun Jian was defeated and retreated, missing the opportunity to send his army to fight Liu Qi head-on.
The general was defeated in the formation, and the opportunity was fleeting. Liu Qi touched Huang Xu beside him with his hand, then drew out the Qiankun Sword, shouted "Kill", and took the lead with his troops to rush to kill the retreating Sun Jian.
Just as Liu Qi was marching his army forward, there was a "swish" sound, and a feather arrow took advantage of the chaos and shot out of the air. It hit the back of Sun Jian's neck and pierced his throat. Sun Jian was immediately thrown to his horse and died.
It was none other than Huang Zhong's son, the marksman Huang Xu.
This was a very dramatic scene. Sun Jian was hit by an arrow and died before he could command his troops to fight Liu Qi. He could have fought Liu Qi two to one, but he lost the opportunity.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Sun Jian is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed."
General Sun Jian is dead, and Sun Jian's camp has long been demoralized. No one wants to fight. There are some who surrender, some who resist, and some who are defeated. In short, there are many who surrender.
Chen Wen, under Liu Qi's prior instructions to "release three, kill seven, and keep ten thousand", had already deployed 5,000 elites to specifically deal with the resisters. He deliberately let go of some of the 3,000 troops and sent people to cover them up and force them to go back to Soochow via Hankou.
Gan Ning's 2,000 troops were already waiting in ambush.
Most of Sun Jian's soldiers who were serving as soldiers and food had surrendered. There were about 15,000 surrenderers. Outside the circle of about 10,000 people, the remaining surrenderers were all killed as quickly as possible and took advantage of the chaos. Outside Xinye City
It was scarlet and blood flowed like a river, which was shocking.
The ancients fought in such a serious manner. Once the commander died, no matter how many soldiers and horses he had, they would not be able to form a fighting force. Under Liu Qi's powerful combat offensive, with the death of Sun Jian, he released 3,000 soldiers, killed 7,000 soldiers, and surrendered 10,000 soldiers.
The record was a complete victory.
After cleaning the battlefield, Liu Qi ordered more than 7,000 corpses to be transported to a small hill ten miles outside the city and buried. He also built a grave for Sun Jian and buried them in thin coffins. The war in Xinye subsided, and Liu Qi became famous in the first battle.
Everyone in the county was amazed.
At this time, a messenger pigeon from Xiangyang reported that the steward Liu Zhong had opened the ancient forest road at the top of the valley. The letter informed that the ancient road could lead to Longshan, ten miles west of Xiangyang City. Liu Qi was overjoyed when he saw the letter and immediately replied with a letter informing Xinye of the great victory and asked the steward to
Liu Zhong sent people to meet him at Longshan, and Liu Qi had dispatched two thousand infantry to go to Longshan secretly, and then returned to the valley base camp via the ancient forest road for training by his master Huang Zhong.
After the battle with Sun Jian, Liu Qi immediately reorganized his troops and assigned more than 10,000 surrendered troops of Sun Jian to Chen Wen for dispatch and training. From then on, Liu Qi had 20,000 troops, with Zhao Yun leading 10,000 troops and Chen Wen leading 10,000 troops.
Confront Cai Mao.
What's even more gratifying is that after Liu Qi's victory over Sun Jian, people from the surrounding counties of Xinye sent letters of congratulations and expressed their desire to make Liu Qi his lord. To this end, Liu Qi urgently summoned his capable generals to discuss the matter.
Liu Qi was high-spirited and said: "Sun Jian died in battle and surrendered more than ten thousand soldiers. It was the result of the hard work of the people of Xinye and all the soldiers. I have asked the surrendering generals if I dare Yuan Shu to send Sun Jian to lead 20,000 troops to attack Jingzhou. This is because Gongsun Zan and I have enmity.
, Yuan Shu was afraid that Gongsun Zan would raise his troops to capture Jingzhou first, so he sent Sun Jian to attack first. It seems that there will be a battle with Gongsun Zan sooner or later. What do you think?"
What Liu Qi said was the reason why Sun Jian attacked Jingzhou one year earlier than historical records, and it also caused Sun Jian, who died in the battle in Xinye, to live one less year in the history of time travel.
"Sun Jian has been defeated, and Gongsun Zan doesn't even dare to attack. What are you afraid of what he will do?" Chen Wu said quickly.
Chen Wen pinched his beard and said: "The soldiers will block it, and the water will flood the soil. Now it seems that we are not worried about others invading, but maybe others are worried about being occupied by us."
Jiang Wan also said: "It is exactly what my second brother said. Many surrounding counties and countries have shown their favor to the lord."
The generals did not pay attention to Gongsun Zan, and suddenly defeated Sun Jian's 20,000 troops. This kind of bravery made all the people in Xinye, from soldiers and generals to civilians, have inexplicable admiration for Liu Qi. Liu Qi's prestige was at its peak. .
"Proclaim yourself king, my lord." Deng Zhi said suddenly.
"Yes, my lord, it's time to become king. In Longmen Town, Jiangling, Hu Banxian predicted that my lord will become king." Chen Wu supported him carelessly.
However, Jiang Wan stopped him with words: "My lord, no, it's only a matter of time before you become king. The opportunity is not available now. If my lord becomes king, it will only arouse people's jealousy. It will cause the trend of claiming king in the universe to prevail, and the troubled times will be even more scattered."
Chen Wu pursed his lips and said: "Chiang Sima is making alarmist remarks. My lord is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. What does it have to do with others to be crowned king? Even if he is crowned emperor, it is justifiable."
"This..." Jiang Wan was choked by Chen Wu and was speechless. Chen Wen, Chen Wu and Chen Chun were all the personal guards of the young master Liu Qi. Liu Qi doted on him. Besides, Chen Wu's words were not true. There is no reason for Jiang Wan to talk back to Chen Wu.
"Proclaim yourself the king, my lord." Wen Dai, Wuwei and other younger generations excitedly persuaded him.
Liu Qi was in a dilemma. If he proclaimed himself king, Jiang Wan said that it would intensify the world's strife, which was not a wise move. If he did not proclaim himself king, it would seem to chill the hearts of these passionate soldiers.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty in 191 AD, to be precise, the Three Kingdoms situation of Wei, Shu, and Wu had not yet formed. At this time, Soochow was weak, Liu Bei was still running around under Gongsun Zan, and the powerless Cao Cao was unable to assassinate Dong Zhuo. And troubled, Sun Quan of Soochow, Liu Bei of Shu, and Cao Cao who was close to the emperor were all years later. Cao, Liu, and Sun had not yet formed a powerful force. If Liu Qi was king instead of emperor at this time, he would be able to dominate the world. The person who claims to be the king has the opportunity to suppress the person who claims to be the king with an unjustified name in the future. Perhaps the Three Kingdoms of Cao, Liu and Sun will not become powerful, and then the Eastern Han Dynasty will be Liu Qi's world.
When it comes to becoming king, it would be strange if Liu Qi is not tempted. Liu Qi will not be as hypocritical as Liu Bei and make Tao Qian, the old man, work so hard to make three concessions to Xuzhou. How long will it take if he does not become king now?
It's just that Liu Qi had to find an excuse to become king, coax Liu Biao to give up his position as Jingzhou governor, step on Cai Mao, and make the surrounding counties bow their heads. In the end, he only had to eat Dong Zhuo in one bite, and the world would be conquered. Once things are settled, Cao Liusun will not be in commotion. All this requires a reasonable excuse.
Defeating Sun Jian was an opportunity. Liu Qi's prestige spread to the seven counties of Jingxiang. It would not be easy to miss this opportunity and rashly mention becoming king again in the future. Liu Qi fell into deep thought.
Since Chen Wen organized an army and killed 7,000 soldiers who gave up resistance under Liu Qi's instruction, he has made up his mind to help the eldest son Liu Qi become king as soon as possible. Only by assisting the young master to become stronger can the weak surrender and reduce the number of soldiers. Killing.
At this time, the princes came together, and it was not the princes and generals who were harmed. Groups of soldiers died like grass in the war. In the end, it was the kind-hearted people who were harmed. Just like the desolate Xinye in the past, under the governance of the young master Liu Qi, it became a
It has become so prosperous and powerful in just a few years. If the young master Liu Qi were to govern the country, wouldn't it be good news to millions of people?
Chen Wen could see more deeply than anyone else at this time, and seemed to understand Liu Qi's thoughts. Liu Qi did not become king for his own vanity. He must have the same idea as Chen Wen. Only by becoming king can the end of the country's war be accelerated.
The war allowed the people to recuperate and recuperate.
After reading everything, Chen Wen's thoughts became clear, and he became excited. He took out the golden slips from the tomb of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, that he found in the Chu King's Mausoleum. He looked around at the crowd and walked solemnly to Liu Qi.
, respectfully presented it with both hands: "The great ancestor is protected by the spirit of heaven. When Sun Jian was burying seven thousand soldiers ten miles outside the city, a dragon appeared faintly in the clouds. It was an auspicious sign. When it was time to be king, he was king. Today is the day for the Lord to be king.
