Chapter 169 The Great Han loyal minister Zhu Neiying
The Luyuan Pass is the most narrow and dangerous position in the entire Songshan Road, otherwise the pass would not have been built at that point.
So after passing the road after the Suyuan Pass, it will definitely be easier to walk.
Normal people would definitely not have thought that even if they were to give up the pass, they would set up an ambush on the last ten miles of mountain road after the pass. Isn’t this a waste of time?
Sun Jian is also a normal person, and he will not fight wits and courage with the air, so after resting in the Luyuan Pass for a night to recover his strength, the next day he was full of energy and the whole army advanced at full speed, and the long snake formation was densely arranged in the Songshan Mountain Road.
After walking north along the mountain road from Ziyuan Pass, after walking six or seven miles away, the rear of the troops had not left Guancheng yet - the seven-mile mountain road, with about one or two thousand soldiers crowding each mile. Sun Jian's more than 20,000 troops were blocked on the road, and there were still thousands of people queuing in Guancheng to set off.
At this moment, a sudden change arises.
The last few miles away from the Songshan Valley were blocked by the enemy troops that suddenly appeared in front of him. A large flag in the enemy's formation was Hu Zhen.
Sun Jian was instantly alert, but a little incredible: "Is this Hu Zhen crazy? Even if he can't block our army by relying on the Luyuan Pass, he actually hopes to block it by tying the formation?"
Thinking of this, Sun Jian decisively ordered: "The whole army attacks and defeats Hu Zhen!"
He also felt that Hu Zhen might be relying on the entrance of the Songshan Valley Road to be more spacious and the valley is narrow, so Hu Zhen wanted to take advantage of the front width to make some long-range advantage formations such as the goose-shaped formation, crane wing formation, and break his own long snake formation.
After all, the long snake formation has natural flaws in terms of military deployment and investment. No matter how many of the total troops are, they will be a little bit in the front row at any time, and tens of thousands of people behind are idle.
But soon, as the trumpets on the hillsides on both sides sounded, Sun Jian knew that it was going to be met, and things were not that simple.
"The prime minister has an order to kill Sun Jian, and Guan Yu is granted the title of the marquis of the town! He rewards three hundred ingots of gold for horse hoofs! He punishes Zhao Yun and is granted the title of the marquis of Ting, and rewards hundreds of ingots of gold for horse hoofs!"
With the shouts, there was Lu Bu in the east and Fan Chou in the west? The two of them led more than a thousand ambush troops to stand up from the hillsides on both sides, and first shot down from a high place. In a short time, hundreds of Sun Jian's army were shot down?
When Sun Jian strives to restrain his soldiers and prepares to form a formation and shoot, how could Lu Bu and Fan Chou wait for him to form a formation? They have already rushed down.
"Sun Jian was awarded the title!" Lu Bu had already seized Sun Jian's position and supported the Fangtian Painted Ridge to take Sun Jian straight.
Fortunately, Sun Jian is the head coach? The guards are tightly guarded around him. The personal soldiers intercepted him desperately. In a few breaths, more than ten people were killed by Lu Bu and surrounded him.
Moreover, on the mountain road, most of the other ambushers and Sun Jian's soldiers were walking? Only the red rabbit horse under Lu Bu climbed the mountain like a flat ground? He could dive down from the high slope at a high speed, but he was not worried about stuttering at all. The momentum of diving was even more unstoppable.
"Clang--" loudly, Sun Jian strongly supported the ancient ingot knife? He tried his best to block Lu Bu's halberd, and his arms suddenly felt sore and numb. He was shocked.
Fortunately, Cheng Pu and Han Dang immediately came to rescue him, but Sun Jian just resisted Lu Bu five or six moves alone? He waited for reinforcements and became a situation where three people surrounded Lu Bu.
As for the soldiers under his command being cut by Lu Bu and Fan Chou, they could not take care of each other's heads and tails and fight each other? They were already unwilling to care.
Huang Gai, the remaining one under Sun Jian's command, was from the south? He was not good at cavalry warfare, so Sun Jian asked him to lead the main force of the infantry in the rear army to advance slowly from the beginning.
In this way, the advantage is that the cut off rear army can be commanded by Huang Gai, so that it will not be completely confused immediately. But the disadvantage is that Huang Gai cannot go to the front army to support Sun Jian and block Lu Bu.
Lu Bu fought against Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang's three generals for fifty rounds, without any fear. Fan Chou, who was behind him, had taken advantage of this period of time to kill through the personal soldiers on the other side of Sun Jian's army and approached from behind.
Fan Chou was also one of the most reckless generals in the Xiliang army who were known for their personal force, and was not much worse than Hua Xiong.
Sun Jian always pays attention to the situation in the whole game. Seeing that Fan Chou had already reached not far behind him and was heading straight for him, he could only abandon Lu Bu and turn around to fight Fan Chou.
Only Cheng Pu was left, and Han Dang fought against Lu Bu, and the two soon fell into a disadvantage.
Fortunately, at this moment, Sun Jian shouted boldly in the army. A family member of the army, who was only seventeen years old, made an exception and shot him out and attacked Fan Chou side by side with Sun Jian.
When Sun Jian was distracted, he was immediately anxious: "Ce'er, please retreat! You have not even had any martial arts in front of the battle, how could you resist the enemy's general in the first battle!"
It turned out that the man was his eldest son Sun Ce. He followed the army to the northern expedition this year, but he had no position yet. Sun Jian just brought his son by his side and opened his eyes. He never let him fight a war once.
At this moment, he was forced to lose his way out by Lu Bu and Fan Chou. On the front line of life and death, Sun Ce fought to the death and fought side by side with his father.
Fan Chou obviously could not withstand the attacks between Sun Jian and Sun Ce and his son. During the chaos, Sun Ce was stabbed to the ribs with a shot. Fan Chou could barely dodge his body, but was still cut by a long bloody mouth, and blood flowed for a moment.
But on the other hand, Han Dang was soon swept off the horse by Lu Bu's brute force. His tendons and bones were broken and he lost his combat power. In the previous battle, Cheng Pu had withstood many heavy blows and had already suffered some internal injuries because of his heavy pressure.
The scene turned into the Sun family father and son, Cheng Pu, who vomited blood and was injured internally, and fought against Lu Bu three times.
Lu Bu regretted it from the bottom of his heart: "I didn't expect that Sun Jian's sons were quite martial, so I was careless today. I thought I could easily kill Sun Jian and other generals. Why didn't Hu Zhen kill the front army and meet us!"
The bloody slaughter of ground meat continued, but after a while, Lu Bu realized something was wrong, because something seemed to be wrong with Hu Zhen at the mouth of the valley.
There were more violent shouts of killing from afar and surrounded them.
Lu Bu was shocked: "Is it Guan Yu and Zhao Yun? Impossible! There is no way around the place where Lu Yuan Pass is, how could they appear behind our army? Before Lu Yuan Pass was broken, the captured Sun Jian's army attacked the city soldiers. It is said that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun went to Xincheng and searched for a boat to take a detour to Yique Pass! Yique Pass is more than a hundred miles away, and even if the troops there are not defending well, it is impossible to be broken through so quickly!"
The reason why the Luyuan Pass was able to be broken so quickly was because the Luyuan Pass was deliberately abandoned. How could it be broken if it did not let water on Yique?
Because of his distraction, Lu Bu was almost injured by Sun Ce with a shot. It was only after his instinctive muscle reflex that he cheered up and focused on combat, and he didn't want anything else for the time being.
...
The conversation was divided into two ends, and the timeline went back two days ago, that is, when Sun Jian had already set his troops under the gate of the army to build heavy siege weapons to prepare for the challenge, while Guan Yu and Zhao Yun led their troops to the west to find another checkpoint to enter the Luoyang Basin.
Guan Yu's original plan was to try to attack the city after going to Yique Pass, and then steadily advance into Luoyang along the Yi River.
However, when he reached Taigu Pass, which was sixty miles away from Yique Pass and fifty miles away from Yique Pass, Guan Yu suddenly encountered a mysterious enemy scout.
As mentioned earlier, the three passes in Luonan are Yique, Taigu and Huayuan, and the order is also based on these three from west to east, with Taigu in the middle.
Taigu Pass is located at the end of the westernmost end of the Songshan Mountains. It is a relatively wide valley. After passing the pass, it is Funiu Mountain. Yique Pass is just a river valley where Yishui passes through Funiu Mountain.
Guan Yu had not considered Taigu Pass since he had arrived, because he felt that he had arrived at Taigu Pass and didn't care about walking fifty miles westward to Yique. Taigu did not pass through the river, so it was not easy to transport grain. When Dong Zhuo had moved most of the people in Yin in Henan and the money and grain went west, it was difficult to ensure the grain road when he walked to Taigu.
However, Guan Yu encountered a scout unit outside Taigu Pass. The general seemed to be invincible, but he was far away and made people shout loudly: "Who is here! Where are the soldiers!"
His voice is old, and he seems to be a senior.
Seeing that the other party was polite, Guan Yu also answered: "I am Guan Yu, the prefect of Hanzhong! I will work together with the prefect of Sun and Prefect Li to fight against the traitors! Who is that!"
"Former Henan Yin Zhu Jun! You are following Liu Bei. The world is so chaotic. You have been promoted quickly over the years." The old man replied neither humbly nor arrogantly. He was indeed an old man in his fifties.
Guan Yu was shocked when he heard this: "Master Zhu! I heard that you refused Dong Zhuo as his deputy as the Master, and he advised Dong to stop the move of the capital. Since he had this loyalty and righteous heart, why did he surrender to the thief?
You are also considered a loyal and righteous man who is as famous as Duke Lu, Huangfu. My brother and I have received Duke Lu. Duke Huangfu has a lot of kindness and kindness. We should treat you with courtesy, but today you come to refuse, and you are not sure whether you are an enemy or a friend. If you are still foolish, Dong Zhuo, and forgive Guan for being loyal and righteous!”
It must be clarified here, that is, among the three heroes in the late Han Dynasty, Liu Bei and Guan Yu only had direct intersections with Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song when he was fighting against the Yellow Turbans.
Zhu Jun was the leader of Jingzhou (mainly Nanyang County), the Yellow Turbans of Yuzhou. Liu Bei only hangs out in Youzhou and Jizhou, so he has no dependent relationship at all. However, Sun Jian worked under Zhu Jun many times. Guan Yu did not need to treat Zhu Jun as politely as he was to Lu Zhi.
It is said that Liu Bei once helped Zhu Junping to pacify the Yellow Turban, but that was just Luo Guanzhong boasted about fighting on behalf of others.
Faced with Guan Yu's vigilance, Zhu Jun sighed: "I am one of the nine ministers and should do my duty. Even if Dong thief deceives the king, I will never abandon my official position. Unlike the princes of Guandong, I have been working secretly to plot against Dong thief. Unfortunately, Dong thief is on high alert and never let me contact military power before moving westward, and I will not have the opportunity.
A few days ago, Dong Zhuo had newly appointed Hongnong Yang Yi as the Prime Minister of Henan and took over the position of my husband. Yang Yi was probably the order to burn Luoyang. I could only contact the princes outside the pass to save Luoyang before the military power was fully handed over."
Guan Yu listened, his expression gradually became happy and confirmed in disbelief: "Then... can Mr. Zhu let us enter Yique Pass?"
Zhu Jun: "Why do you need Yique? You can enter directly from Taigu Pass. I only have more than a thousand guards in each pass, which is not enough to repel the Xiliang soldiers who brought Yang Yi to burn the city.
Moreover, there are 20,000 troops from Lu Bu, Hu Zhen and Fan Chou in the west. They should have been ordered to defeat the coalition forces once and take advantage of the victory to withdraw the troops so as not to be chased. Therefore, we must also hope that you will work hard to save Luoyang City - by the way, where is the Wentai? Wentai has been with me for a long time, and it was the official career I recommended him to join. This time I wanted to wait for him to work together, but he didn't come?"
Guan Yu: "Sun Wentai is still at Zhuyuan Pass, and it should be fighting with Lu Bu and Hu Zhen."
It is necessary to say a fair word for Zhu Jun. The position of this loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, who was "in Dong's camp and in Dong's heart", was indeed a testament to the light of day. In the original history, he also tried his best to try to use his internal position to let the coalition forces enter the pass, but there was no chance in the early stage.
After Dong Zhuo left Luoyang, until he was about to let Yang Yi set fire to the city, he did ask Zhu Jun to temporarily serve as the Yin of Henan to be responsible for the surrounding government affairs - but it was only limited to government affairs, and the Western Liang army still did not listen to Zhu Jun's orders.
In history, because the princes on the southern front were not strong enough, Zhu Jun tried to move to Zhongmu County, the southeastern part of Yin, Henan, in the last period, which was the generation bordering Chenliu County and Xuanzao County. He wanted to open Hulao Pass and release Zhang Miao and Cao Cao into the Pass.
But in this life, it was obvious that Cao Cao was attracted to Yuan Shao who had no intention of serving the country five months in advance and became the prefect of Dongjun, which led to the fact that Cao Cao who stayed in Chenliu and Zhang Miao's camp greatly reduced its strength.
However, Sun Jian on the southern line had more help from Guan Yu, and advanced faster. He had approached the three passes of Luonan in February. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Jun felt that it would be better to pick up his old subordinate Sun Jian, so he did not go to Zhongmu, but came to Yique and Taigu.
Except for Lu Bu and Hu Zhen, he could not command other local troops of Henan Yin, Zhu Jun could still use his old qualifications to command, which led to the current situation.
