Sun Jian stood with his hands clasped behind his back, between the two rivers of Yi and Luo, his eyes like lightning, piercing Hebei. His wife, his brother Wu Jing, and his nephew Sun Bi stood side by side behind him, with lowered eyebrows and lowered heads. His breathing was so light that it was almost imperceptible. If it had been before,
As Sun Jian's close relatives, they might still behave casually. However, as Sun Jian defeated Dong Zhuo and shocked the world, his temperament changed, and his majesty was displayed in every move and gesture. Even they would become cautious around Sun Jian.
Sun Jian played with Gai Jun's handwriting for a few times and suddenly said: "(Wu Jing) Gongming, (Sun Bi) Boyang, what do you mean by General Hussar?"
Wu Jing and Sun Ben looked at each other, and the former said: "General Hussar should take this action as a test to test the feelings of my brother-in-law."
"Testing my will?..." A sneer appeared on Sun Jian's face. Of course, his intention was to cut Gai Jun into pieces. Otherwise, it would not be enough to erase the anger that filled his heart, but it was unrealistic.
.The Dong thief has not been eliminated, so he should not be in trouble with Gai Jun. On the contrary, it would be better if the two sides could form an alliance. Sun Jian asked: "Do you think I should enter Luo?"
Sun Ben frowned and said: "Uncle, the hussar general is certainly upright, but he must be on guard against others. In my opinion, Luoyang is not allowed to enter..." Things in Jizhou have not yet returned to the Central Plains. If Sun Ben knew about Gai
When Jun was negotiating with Gongsun Zan, he suddenly made a move, killing three important generals in Youzhou and severely injuring Gongsun Zan, causing the Youzhou army to lose three of the next three battles. Perhaps Gai Junlei failed.
After hearing this, Sun Jian had no expression on his face and looked at Wu Jing again.
Sun Ben's father Sun Qiang, Sun Jian's brother, died young, as did his mother. Sun Ben was young and raised his younger brother Sun Fu alone. When he grew up, he was the governor of the county and the post guard. Sun Jian went to Changsha to attack Dong before he went to serve as an official. Wu
Jing was different. He had followed Sun Jian on his expeditions as early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion. By chance, he had spent some time with the hussar general Gai Jun. Wu Jing had a deeper understanding of both Sun Jian and Gai Jun than Sun Ben.
Wu Jing said slowly: "Dong Zhuo was wreaking havoc on the Han Dynasty. The princes of Guandong were either afraid of moving forward, occupying land to become kings, or fighting for power and profit. They did not dare to fight. However, my brother-in-law was not afraid of his power and raised troops to fight against him. He repeatedly defeated the country's thieves.
Respected by the righteous people in the world. The hussar general has a good reputation, so he will not harm his brother-in-law, otherwise the world will criticize him. However, Boyang said it is also true, it is better not to take risks easily, especially before the army arrives..."
Sun Jian asked again: "Then how should I respond to General Hussar?"
Wu Jing groaned and said: "Today Dong's thieves burned Guanxi and left. Does my brother-in-law still have the intention to seek revenge on the thieves?"
Sun Jian said: "The desire to pursue thieves has never changed."
"In this case, you can't have an enemy with the hussar general. Luoyang is the rear area for attacking Dong, and grain must pass through it. If both parties are dirty, it will only give the Dong thief an advantage..." Wu Jing paused here and saw that
There was no strange expression on Sun Jian's face, so he continued: "Why don't my brother-in-law invite General Hussar out of the city for a while in the name of worshiping Tailao and repairing the temple?"
At this point, Sun Jian showed a gratified smile. As his brother-in-law, his character is not decisive enough, and his future achievements may be limited. However, he has followed him for many years, and his vision has surpassed that of most people. If Gai Jun is rejected forcefully, the latter will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Yue, but agreed, since he has no safety guarantee, luring Gai Jun out of the city is undoubtedly the best choice. The reasons given by Wu Jing are very sufficient, and Gai Jun will willingly leave Luoyang.
Sun Jian immediately sent someone to Luo to report the matter, and Gai Jun personally met him and agreed to worship the Han Dynasty ancestral temple together in three days.
After the messenger left, the corners of Gai Jun's mouth raised slightly, drawing a wonderful arc. Jia Xu suggested that he write the letter in order to firmly grasp the initiative. Gai Jun had to admire Jia Xu's ability to figure out people's hearts.
, Sun Jian refused to enter the city and invited him out of the city instead. He was completely following his plan, and Gai Jun was naturally given three days.
In three days, at least one billion and eighty million worth of goods can be transported from the Beimang Mountain Mausoleum.
In the evening, Sun Jian's infantry forward arrived at Yi and Luonan and set up camp. Soldiers continued to pour in throughout the night. By late at night, all 50,000 Jingyu troops were stationed in the camp.
The next day, Sun Jian was ordering people to prepare sacrifices, and several horses quickly rushed from the south to the gate of the camp.
Seeing that the other party was dusty and came from the south, the guard chief asked, "Who are you waiting for? Tell me your name."
At the head of several knights was a man who was more than seven feet long, with a broad face and heavy beard, and bright eyes. He clasped his fists and said: "I am Sima Lu You, the subordinate of Tao Governor of Xuzhou. I have something special to ask you to see your general. Please let me know."
"It turns out it's Lu Sima. I've admired him for a long time, I've admired him for a long time..." As soon as he heard the accent of the other party, the guard commander's expression immediately softened, and he unconsciously became a little affectionate. When the Yellow Turbans broke out, Sun Jian was invited by Zhu Jun, the general of the army.
Recruiting warriors from Yangzhou to join the expedition. The garrison chief and Sun Jian were fellow villagers of Wu County. They admired him early and joined Sun Jian's command. Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, was from Danyang in Yangzhou. Danyang is to the left of Wu County. The two counties are adjacent and there is almost no difference in accent. This is
Lu You was obviously from Danyang. "Military regulations are strict. Lu Sima, please wait a moment. I will send someone to inform you."
Lu You said some polite words, jumped off the horse, stretched his body a little, and chatted with the garrison chief in his hometown dialect. From Xuzhou to Henan Yin, which is 1400 to 500 miles, he and the others traveled day and night.
I didn’t feel too tired yet, but as soon as I stopped, fatigue rushed into my body.
Sun Jian was surprised when he heard that Tao Qian's general wanted to see him, and immediately asked someone to bring him to meet him. When Lu You saw Sun Jian's face, he knelt on the ground and presented a letter written by Tao Qian. Sun Jian felt that Tao Qian must have something to ask for, otherwise why would he need it?
Sima came to deliver the letter. Sun Jian opened the letter, and sure enough, Tao Qian started with a few polite words, and then said that Qing Xu and Huang Turban were tyrannical, and Xuzhou's troops were insufficient, so he asked Sun Jian to help.
Sun Jian closed the letter and frowned slightly.
"General Sun..." Lu You looked at Sun Jian slightly nervously.
"Lu Sima, please get up..." Sun Jian said with a smile: "Tao Xuzhou and I are from the same hometown, and we went to Xizhou to work together. When Tao Xuzhou is in trouble, how can I just sit idly by and ignore it?" Sun Jian lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at the side next to him.
His nephew Sun Ben said: "Boyang, go and call Zhu Sima." Sun Ben obeyed the order and left, and Zhu Sima became Zhu Zhi and Zhu Junli.
It didn't take long for Zhu Zhi to come to the tent. Sun Jian introduced him to Lu You and said, "Qing Xu and Huang Turban have resurrected and caused trouble in Xuzhou. Tao Xuzhou invited me to fight against the thieves. I want to use you as my general. I would like to
No?" The reason why Sun Jian chose Zhu Zhi was, first of all, because he was steady in employing troops and had the ability to lead an army alone. More importantly, Zhu Zhi was a native of Danyang and was from the same hometown as Tao Qian, so he was the most suitable candidate.
Zhu Zhichen made his promise and asked: "When will we send out troops?"
Lu You couldn't hide his anxiety. It turned out that Tao Qian was not having an easy time now. Since he wanted to sell his favor to the other party, he had to sell it completely. Sun Jian said: "I declare that you are the captain of the military governor, and I will have five thousand infantry and cavalry. Immediately
Set off."
"promise."
"Thank you, General Sun. Thank you, General Sun..."
After Zhu Zhi left, Sun Jian continued to prepare the sacrifices. Three days passed quickly, and it was agreed that on that day, Sun Jian would select a hundred cavalry to accompany him across the river and march to Sanyong's Mingtang.
The Mingtang is a place where the emperors of the Han Dynasty issued decrees, accepted pilgrimages and offered sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth as well as ancestors. It is located in the south of Luoyang City, with the Lingtai on the left (west) and Piyong on the right (east). This is in line with the Zhou Dynasty Mingtang being located in the "Yang of the Country"
Regulation.
There is a square courtyard on the outside, and a magnificent building stands in the center. There is a hall in the corridors on the four sides of the lower floor. Each hall has left and right rooms, a total of "twelve halls", symbolizing the twelve months of the year; each side of the middle floor has a hall.
Each has its own hall; there are pavilions in the center and four corners of the upper platform, with five chambers of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, to worship the five emperors of heaven. The whole group of buildings is cross-symmetrical and grand, which is in line with its identity of embracing heaven and earth.
Gai Jun stood in front of the Mingtang, filled with emotions.
Originally, the Mingtang was gorgeously decorated and splendid, but when Dong Zhuo moved the capital, he removed all the gold, silver, and copper ornaments, and some buildings were irreparably damaged, making the entire building show a sense of decline. There was no way, Dong Zhuo had many subordinates
There are soldiers from Liangzhou, including some Qiang and Hu. They don't know a word of Chinese characters and they only know how to fight and kill all day long. They don't know what the Mingtang is for, but even if they know, they probably won't care.
"General, Sun Wentai is here..." Pang De said softly. Hu Feng captured Luoyang this time and made great achievements, and was worshiped as a partial general by Gai Jun. After Pang De entered Jizhou, he followed Han Fu and defeated him.
Gongsun Zan had the most credit for his surprise attack on Yecheng, the seat of Jizhou, and should have been promoted long ago. However, Gai Jun then launched the Battle of Luoyang, which delayed it temporarily. Now that Pang De defeated Lu Bu again, Gai Jun immediately promoted him to partial general.
At the same level as Hu Feng, he was considered a general. Huang Zhong was credited with pacifying Hanoi, and was the first to capture Pingyinjin, paving the way for the march to Luoyang, and was promoted to the lowest level of general title - General Pi.
When Bao came out, Hu Che'er also worshiped him as Zhonglang General. His title was still "Shen Zhen" and he ascended first.
I wonder if Guan Yu, who was in Hedong, would lament his bad luck. When he was promoted to Zhonglang General, Pang and Hu were still Du and Xiaowei. In the blink of an eye, they were already generals, and Guan Yu was still the Zhonglang General.
This is not the case for Yang Aruo, because Beidi County is the foundation of Gai Jun, and it is adjacent to Han Fu in Liangzhou and Dong Zhuo. As Gai Jun's brother-in-law, it is natural for him to guard Beidi and stay there for three years. For Yi Xin
For Yang Aruo, who longs to make achievements, this is tantamount to torture, but for Gai Liao, it is a good thing. Although she also wants her husband to become an unparalleled hero like her brother, she hopes that her husband will stay by her side.
Seeing Gai Jun's lack of response, Pang De said again: "General, Sun Wentai is here."
Gai Jun heard this this time. He withdrew his gaze and turned to look behind him, staring at Sun Jian and others who were speeding towards him. Jia Xu, Xun Yu and Yang Jun who were beside him also looked at each other quietly. The three of them only heard
His name, but I have never seen him. Sun Jian has a very good appearance, tall, square face, broad forehead, eyes like lightning, and a dignified appearance.
Sun Jian jumped off his horse neatly, strode forward, and laughed loudly: "It's been a few years since we've been together, general, I'll be fine..."
