Gongsun Xun felt restless, not only because of the sultry weather and the subsequent heavy rain that day, but also because his rough behavior of solving problems by force, military and political prestige suddenly left and faced a large number of bureaucrats.
When faced with systemic problems and the upcoming large-scale democratic governance, his people are somewhat uncomfortable with it.
For many years, this General Wei was either in battle or enduring and rushing for the battle. The only things that accompanied him all year round were war horses, sabers, armored soldiers, Yi Cong, and border commanders.
With a noble background, he is actually used to some things in his bones... You must know that even when he participated in the political struggle in Luoyang, he only played the role of a knife, while in Western Liaoning, Danhan Mountain, Goguryeo, and the Yellow Turban
Chaos, pacifying Guanxi, conquering Dong, and destroying Yuan, one after another. It can be said that almost every time he really started to gain momentum, he relied on the most direct violent means to complete it.
And violence is very addictive!
It’s not that he doesn’t have experience in civil affairs.
On the contrary, in the eyes of many people, General Wei has extremely rich experience in civil affairs, even excellent political methods, unique political ideas, and even a sufficiently upright Confucian background. This is why many people think that he is different from a
The fundamental reason why the border commander was a warrior... For example, the reason why Dong Zhao, Tian Feng, Xun You, Zhong Yao and other important subordinates gritted their teeth and chose him at the beginning was partly due to these reasons; and later, the officials of Guanxi and the noble families of Taiyuan
, the hero of Hebei, these people are willing to obey him to a certain extent and recognize his Dong Zhuo, instead of simply treating him as a figure like Dong Zhuo and simply fearing him, all because of his political experience and classics background.
But who would have thought that these political ideas did not come from him, but that every time he was in power, there was a strong mother behind him who used ideas and methods that were beyond the times, as well as a large amount of money background to back him up? As for him?
The so-called background in Confucian classics is even more nonsense. It was completely a generous gift from the two teachers!
And besides, before, the city of Handan and the county of Zhongshan were only managed... To put it bluntly, with Gongsun Xun's governing style of having hundreds of elite followers following him around, a powerful man who dared to cause trouble,
A family that dares to talk nonsense can be suppressed with force, but without opposition, it is not possible to govern the country how it wants to be governed?
But everything is different now. Now Gongsun Xun is facing nine states, more than 40 counties, and a population of more than 10 million (maybe even more)... In the past and in the future, he would be called a loner, or even directly called
There are no problems in the imperial capital.
Faced with such a large ruling area, according to Gongsun Xun's education, he knew very well what he would face in the future: internal factional struggles; the bureaucracy's obsessiveness or excessive enthusiasm in the implementation of governance concepts; academic construction and
Gongsun Xun knew all about the loopholes in the system construction; the comeback of powerful family members after changing their appearance; the persistence of agriculture as the basis, the opposition between support for handicraft industry and commercial development... Gongsun Xun knew all this!
But the more important point is that Gongsun Xun also knows very well in his heart that when facing these problems in the future, as a holder and superior of absolute force, he cannot easily raise a knife internally unless absolutely necessary.
It will only bring greater destruction and more problems... The previous expulsion of Cui Yan was more like the last act of willfulness, but it already included a compromise with the Qingzhou Confucian scholars.
After all, now that he has reached this point, what he wants to do is naturally be the Mingzu of the Tang Dynasty in his mother's mouth! Even if it doesn't work out, he has to be a Guangwu!
How can I be Dong Zhuo and Er Zhurong?!
The only pity is that he was obviously very restrained and would touch the knife to remind himself every time he wanted to use force, but he still had no choice but to kill Xu You with his own hands outside of the war.
All I can say is, are these troubled times?
That night, Gongsun Xun tossed and turned, and only fell asleep with his sword in his arms in the latter half of the night... But for some reason, despite being surrounded by tens of thousands of troops fighting, he first dreamed of the Yellow River carp that Liu Zhang brought, and then he still dreamed of it.
Those Yellow Turban soldiers who died crossing the river here in the past.
It's just that time has passed, and although I still know the names of the leaders, I can't remember the faces of those people in my dream.
………………
It was pouring rain, lightning and thunder, no matter day or night, in the huge military camp, a man with a high crown, armor and a raincoat walked into the back tent of the Chinese army tent, but he held his hands towards the couch beside the brazier
Make a salute and address yourself as a prince.
"You don't have to be polite!" The person on the couch was sweating profusely and looked embarrassed. He looked at the visitor and made casual gestures, but then said bluntly. "Junli, I slept with the ancient ingot sword on my pillow last night, and I dreamed of Emperor Guangwu.
!You have the greatest knowledge in the army, and you are also the person I trust the most. You must interpret my dream for me!"
The visitor was slightly startled, but after he carefully took off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, his face was revealed. It was none other than Zhu Zhi and Zhu Junli. The person on the bed was none other than Lord Zhu Zhi, the leader of the top four in the Central Plains, known as the Jiangdong Tiger.
Sun Jian and Sun Wentai.
As for this place, it is a military camp in Xinye County between Huishui and Bishui in Nanyang County, Jingzhou, Han Dynasty.
Zhu Zhi took off his raincoat and bamboo hat, and looked at Sun Jian's face through the brazier. Obviously, he could conclude that his lord was not lying just by looking at the beads of sweat on his face, and there was really no need for Sun Wentai to be like Zhu Zhi.
Close friends lie.
"I have three opinions here, it depends on which one you believe." Zhu Junli came to the bed, thought for a moment and then spoke directly.
"Tell me one by one!" Sun Jian sat on the couch and answered with his sword in hand.
"The first is the common theory of ghosts and gods." Zhu Zhi pointed to the ancient sword in the opponent's hand. "This sword has been with the emperor for a long time, and it has done many killings. As time goes by, it will inevitably be contaminated with the evil spirit of blood, not to mention the previous few
The sun had just gone through a great battle here, and today the sky thundered, shaking the souls of grievances that spilled out, and the prince slept with this knife on his head, and could not help but be infected..."
"It's not that I don't believe the words of these ghosts and gods." Sun Jian shook his head and said. "It's just that I have killed countless people. I killed countless people with my own sword, and among the 20,000 troops I led, how could I be forced by them?
?”
"Yes." Zhu Zhi nodded immediately, his expression remained unchanged.
"What about the second one?"
"The second is the so-called good omen." Zhu Junli remained expressionless. "We won a victory a few days ago and defeated Yuan Shu and Liu Biao's coalition forces. As soon as the weather clears, we will cross the Bi River and completely defeat Yuan Shu. And Bi
Caiyang County on the other side of the water is the hometown of Guangwu, a noble family. It seems that Guangwu saw the king Shenwu, and favored the king, so there was such a sign..."
"If it's a good omen, why would you wake up... well, what about the third one?"
"The third thing..." Zhu Zhi changed his expression slightly. "Some people say that you have thoughts every day and dreams at night. Dreams have nothing to do with good or bad... Junhou, I know you don't like twists and turns, so my subordinates will say so bluntly.
Well, maybe this matter was just some thoughts in the mind of the monarch during the day, but he felt a little guilty because he was a Han minister who had repeatedly received favors from the Han, and he heard that the Guangwu Imperial Township was in front of him, so tonight happened.
Losing focus."
"That's why Junli dared to say that to me." Sun Jian couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. "It seems that this is really the case... It has been raining for days. Yesterday, I listened to the old man reading history to me in the tent, talking about the destiny of Guangwu, and then I remembered
Now the situation is a little strange...why aren't you surprised?"
"Why should my subordinates be alarmed?" Zhu Zhi spoke slowly and then answered slowly. "Who is not a Han official? But with the current situation, I don't know how many people have long felt that the Han Dynasty cannot be revived. At least starting from Dong Zhuo,
Everyone feels that "I can do anything in the world," not to mention that now there is General Wei who is the leader of the world, but our situation is now better than ever. What's the harm in having your thoughts on your mind? I won't hide it from you,
You just started to think seriously yesterday, but in my opinion it was a bit late. Some generals in the army have more wild thoughts than you..."
"What about you?" Sun Wentai asked abruptly.
"I sometimes feel ashamed of Chang'an." Zhu Zhi was silent for a moment, but he still admitted in disguise. "However, when I was in Changsha, I was appointed as the captain of two thousand stones by the king. If I say that I have not obeyed the king,
Hou's intention to prepare for a major event is to deceive himself and others."
Sun Jian sighed quietly: "The key is that right now, as Jun Li said, our situation is so good that it would be ridiculous if we couldn't think of it!"
Zhu Zhi immediately nodded.
By the way, I have to mention the situation in Nanyang here.
There are thirty-seven counties and nearly fifty cities in one county of Nanyang. As early as the reign of Emperor Shun, there were nearly five to six million households and a population of nearly two and a half million. At the same time, the entire Jizhou, known as the essence of Hebei, was only one hundred thousand.
Counties, 123 cities, 900,000 households, 5 to 6 million people... It is true to say that a county in Nanyang is as good as a state elsewhere!
Not to mention, Nanyang also has the densest and most developed handicraft industry base in the entire Han Dynasty, as well as the largest official iron smelting base in the entire Han Dynasty. Such a county is really where Wangba's foundation lies.
However, when it comes to this, we have to talk about one more person first, and that is Yuan Gongli!
On that day, Yuan Gongzhuo won the seal of General Dong Zhuo and headed south to Nanyang. At that time, with the help of Sun Jian, a thug, he surrounded Nanyang, Yingchuan, and Runan, the three most connected areas of the Central Plains, with a total population of about six million...
...You read that right, the three counties have a population of six million, the agriculture of Runan, the talents of Yingchuan, the ironware and goods of Nanyang, everything is available. In addition, Jingzhou was ownerless at that time, Huainan was in turmoil, and Jiangdong was empty. At that time, Yuan Shu was considered
Being one of the top four in the world is by no means a false statement, and his own remarks about using the south to control the north cannot be said to be groundless.
But with such a large foundation, Liu Biaodan rode into Xiangyang, and the territory of Jingzhou except Nanyang no longer belonged to him, Yuan Jiujiu; Zhu Jun failed to save his son by passing it to the state, and was driven back to his hometown in Kuaiji by Shi Xie to live with his other son Yuzhang
The prefect Zhu Hao said hello, but Jiangdong did not listen to the greetings of his generals. The most terrible thing was that Liu Bei was a gangster from Zhuo County. He was only 30 years old at the time. He went to Huainan, Jiujiang and Lujiang where the essence of Yangzhou is.
The second county suddenly disappeared!
Finally, as Sun Jian rebelled in anger, Runan and Yingchuan were immediately wiped out. Now, among so many cities in Nanyang, only the southeast of Bishui and the southwest of Tongbai Mountain were attacked by Sun Wentai like a fierce wind and fire.
, north of Jiangxia County, there are only five counties and seven cities in this narrow area.
In just four years, not a single large-scale decisive battle broke out. At its peak, it managed to separatize all the essence of the Southern Han Dynasty, with a population of six million, controlling the three states of Jing, Yu, and Yang, and then reduced it to only five counties and seven cities.
To the point where people may not know what the concept is...
This kind of person, throughout the ages and for five thousand years, we can only use seven words to call him Yuan Gongdao, the tough guy on the road!
On the other hand, why Sun Jian was in a good situation at this time, and why he frightened Liu Biao into cooperating with someone like Yuan Shu, is not self-aware, because Sun Wentai will almost completely control Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Runan soon.
Three counties!
Moreover, unlike Yuan Shu, who was surrounded by enemies on all sides and was in chaos internally, Sun Wentai was not only extremely powerful with his troops, but the current external situation was also particularly favorable to him... Gongsun Xun stopped fighting, Cao Cao blocked him, and Liu Bei covered him, which made
He has no worries at all and can only use troops in one direction; and more importantly, because of Gongsun Xun's pressure, the Central Plains is exceptionally united, which allows Sun Jian to temporarily not worry about the digestion and governance of the territory, because without external force to respond,
What did the scholars in these three counties use to fight against Sun Wentai, who was in their hearts?
In fact, as Sun Jian's reign lasted and he won consecutive battles, the Jiangdong Tiger had gradually begun to gain the recognition of some local people, some scholars became officials, and many powerful people defected!
What is particularly worth mentioning here is that after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Li Tong, a famous local general who raised troops in Langling County at the junction of Runan, Jiangxia and Nanyang counties, also led a large number of powerful people to surrender to him! And because he was born in Jiangxia,
He is familiar with the situation on the east bank of Bishui, and is now serving as a general under him, leading three thousand Langling troops to assist in the battle!
So under this situation, Sun Jian can continue to advance south without any pressure!
After pushing Nanyang, he can push Jiangxia. By then, Jiangxia will be protected by Liu Bei on the flanks. After pushing Jiangxia, he can push Nanjun (where Xiangyang is) without any pressure. When Nanjun is in hand, both Jiangxia and Jiangxia are in hand, and to the south is Dajiang.
It’s the four Jingnan counties that he defeated in the past... By then, he will be able to achieve the power that Yuan Jiujiu once achieved, and he can also do things that Yuan Jiujiu cannot do.
Perhaps it is just like what Sun Jian wrote in the letter when he made a marriage agreement with Cao Cao: "I will rest for three years, use Xuande as the place to stay and control, and use Mengde as the rear army to transport food. I will lead the Central Plains, Jingxiang, and 200,000 men to the west."
"Although General Wei is strong, how can he be worthy of it? Why worry about Chang'an not being able to surrender and the emperor not returning?"
This is really not a joke, at least you can't take it as a joke, because just a few days ago, Sun Wentai defeated Yuan Shu here, and Liu Biao joined forces to show off the power of the Jiangdong Tigers!
At that time, Liu Biao sent 10,000 reinforcements, led by his so-called brave servant Liu Pan. The 10,000 reinforcements plus Yuan Shu's final 10,000 family assets totaled 20,000, and Sun Jian also had 20,000, and then
The two sides, 20,000 versus 20,000, fought it out on the banks of the Qishui River in Xinye.
The two sides fought from morning to sunset. Sun Wentai personally held the ancient ingot knife and charged forward. The two sides charged repeatedly, but the final result was that the Yuan and Liu coalition forces were defeated. Thousands of people lay dead. Even Liu Pan was almost captured by Li Tong.
In the end, Huang Zhong, the deputy general, fought bravely and was able to rescue him.
Now, with the help of a summer rainstorm that fell from the sky, Yuan Shu was able to lead his remaining soldiers across the Bishui River and back to their last territory. Liu Pan and Huang Zhong also reluctantly gathered their defeated troops and returned to the other side of the Feishui River, but they could not even see the empty Chaoyang on the other side.
Unable to enter the county seat, we had to rush south again in the rain and return to Deng County, north of Xiangyang, for resettlement.
In other words, at this moment, there is only one Deng County and one Bishui County left before Sun Wentai sweeps across Nanyang.
On the other side, after discussing the situation for a while, as the rain outside the tent gradually became thinner, Sun Jian began to breathe evenly, but finally his mind gradually became clearer: "After the five counties of Bishui are pacified this time, don't rush south to Jiangxia.
To do four things, Junli must think about me..."
Zhu Zhi immediately prepared to stand up and stand upright to obey his orders, but was dragged back to the couch by Sun Wentai.
"First, I wrote a letter to Xuande, asking him to send troops north to Runan immediately after his marriage to annihilate for me the Yellow Turban bandits Liu Pi and Gongdu who were entrenched in the Xincai area and supported Yuan Shu, and then go south to Jiangxia to help me...
…”
Zhu Zhi immediately wanted to speak but stopped.
"Listen to what I have to say. After wiping out the Yellow Turban bandits, regardless of whether he comes to Jiangxia to help me or not, all the seven counties on the east side of Runan east of Yingshui River will be given to him. This can be regarded as a wedding gift for his brother from me." Sun Jian quickly made the decision.
Live with him. "Then I will persuade him to go to Jiangdong to collect Zhu Jun and his son, and take all the land in Yangzhou."
"Liu Xuande is a hero from the north. He conquered Huainan and only has eyes for the Central Plains in the north. He may not be interested in staying in Jiangdong." Zhu Zhi was still a little helpless.
"I know." Sun Jian was also helpless. "But it has to be an explanation, right? I always feel guilty when he looks like this and doesn't say a word. Everyone in the world also says that I am a thief who steals my sworn brother's territory... but I have no choice.
Argument! And in troubled times, how can we give territory to Cao Mengde for nothing? It was given to Chenjun to Cao Mengde because it was really difficult for us to establish a foothold there. Moreover, Cao Mengde also gave us a lot of food and grass to help us survive the famine before last year's autumn harvest. Today I just saw him.
If you don’t want to take the land of Jiangxia and give him seven counties for nothing, what else do you want?”
Zhu Zhisui said nothing.
"Secondly, Yuan Jiujiu was my former leader. Although my identity as a Polu general was later verified by Chang'an, it was him who gave it to me at the beginning. If I can get him after the war, I should treat him well, and then
Don't send him to see me to avoid embarrassment. Send him directly to Chang'an. Just say that he was ordered to defeat the thief..."
Zhu Zhi nodded repeatedly. He had wanted to remind the other party about this matter for a long time. It would be best if the other party took the initiative to remind him.
"Third, Yuan Shu must inspect the treasury and seizures, select some treasures and special products, and find a local celebrity in the name of tribute to accompany him to the emperor of Chang'an."
Zhu Zhi nodded without hesitation: "The emperor cannot let Cao Mengde do it alone!"
"That's not what I meant." Sun Jian said with emotion. "The last thing... when we get to Caiyang, see if there is a Guangwu Temple. If there is, we will rebuild it. If not, we will build one. At that time, I will personally lead the people of Jingyu to worship the ancestors.
Go on a crusade against Jiangxia!"
Zhu Zhi nodded slowly: "Since you have this intention, you will do it... The only thing you have to be careful about is that Huang Zu of Jiangxia was ordered by Liu Biao to go north to Lulin Mountain and then help Yuan Shu."
"This is almost certain. There is nothing to be careful about. Just wait for him to come!" Sun Jian stood up from the couch with a knife and didn't care. "The world is in chaos and everyone is fighting, but the one who can accomplish things is just that one person.
Now that I have made up my mind to get Meng Guangwu, Liu Biao, Huang Zu and even Yuan Shu and his like should have been crushed! Now I have 20,000 troops here, and 10,000 more reinforcements will come from Yingchuan.
I have 30,000 troops in my hand. Unless General Wei comes in person, who in the world can stop me? That Da Honglu who was driven out of Chang'an? He has such a great reputation, he has the seal of general and the seal of county marquis, and he also has the seal of county marquis.
He has the seal of the Nanyang Governor and is a disciple of a great Confucian. In the past, the Nine Ministers only had 800 cavalry, and they could not even cross the Dan River. I heard that they could only sneak across the Mian River from the west, but it was difficult to even eat, and they could only occupy a ford.
A bandit in the capital! The former hero has fallen to this level. If I were him, I would have wiped my neck and died. Why should I suffer such humiliation?!"
Zhu Zhi said no more...I think that Marquis Wen, Lu Bu, was a genuine Nanyang governor. After leaving Wuguan, he was unable to cross Danshui to take office. He was unable to get supplies along the way, and was finally driven to Shedu Township to become a bandit...isn't it true?
Is this what you, Sun Polu, did?! It was not your nephew Xu Kun who led the troops to ambush Lu Bu in Danshui?!
Of course, Zhu Zhi also knew that Sun Jian and Lu Bu had a personal grudge. On that day, Lu Bu, Jia Xu, Duan Xuan, Li Meng and others successfully set up an ambush when they were evacuating Yingchuan, killing his entire army and even Sun Jian himself.
Almost died.
There was no words to say that day, and the sky gradually cleared up the next day. Although Sun Wentai had a fiery temperament, he had been in the military for a long time and knew better about military divisions. Therefore, he did not rush to the east bank of Bishui to attack Yuan Shu. Instead, the entire army preceded him.
Entering Xinye City, settled down for a while, dried clothes, and dried military rations... For three days in a row, when they were about to set off, sentries and cavalry came and went. As expected, they learned that Huang Zu had led 10,000 troops out of Jiangxia and entered Nanyang to meet Yuan Shu on the east bank of Bishui.
The remaining troops joined together, about 15,000 people, and stationed in Caiyang, the imperial hometown. At the same time, Liu Biao sent an additional 20,000 reinforcements, led by Cai Mao, who came out of Deng County to join forces with Liu Pan. There were actually 24,450 troops there.
Thousands of people.
Not only that, some sentry riders bluntly said that they saw the banner of Nanyang Prefect Lu Bu and some cavalry appearing in the military camp in the north of Deng County... Some sentry riders were caught off guard and were almost killed by the Bingzhou cavalry.
To be fair, most of these were within Sun Wentai's expectations... For example, Huang Zu went north to support Yuan Shu, Liu Biao increased his troops, and even Lu Bushan had no choice but to continue south to join Liu Biao after running out of supplies, all of which were expected.
However, Liu Biao alone sent as many as 20,000 reinforcements from the direction of Deng County, and the speed was beyond his expectation.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Sun Jian had to admit that this was reasonable... Behind Deng County was Xiangyang, and the Xiangyang family's support for Liu Biao was not the same as their support for Liu Biao, who had killed the governor of Jingzhou, the governor of Nanyang, and had done great things in Jingxiang.
There is no doubt that people who ask for military supplies are disgusted! So it is normal for these people to use all their strength in the face of possible annihilation.
Again, who told him that Sun Wentai was a martial artist? Who told him to kill Wang Rui? Who told him that his ancestor was a melon seller in Wu?
Yuan Shu was in a state of poverty and had become nothing more than a celebrity. Naturally, Sun Jian was responsible for these crimes.
Sun Wentai was helpless and could only temporarily stop the army. While sending Zhu Zhi to lead 5,000 troops across the Feishui River to the Chaoyang City on the other side, he divided the force into horns. At the same time, he sent his brother Sun Jing to quickly bring reinforcements from Yingchuan.
Here you go!
However, on the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, Sun Jing had just written back about the hardships of conscription in Yingchuan, where everyone in the family was resentful and ridiculed, and suggested that his brother write a letter to invite Cao Mengde to formally send reinforcements, but here, a sudden arrival came from Xinye City
got a messenger.
The envoy claimed that his surname was Song, his surname was Zhongzi, and he was a native of Nanyang. He was now an official under Liu Biao, and he was sent by Liu Biao to invite peace.
Sun Jian felt funny in his heart. Under such a big situation, how could he really call a truce even if it was a temporary delay?
However, after all, Han Tuo's matter was at the forefront, and Sun Wentai still had some sympathy for this so-called celebrity, so he pinched his nose and put on a show, and even held a banquet in Xinye Temple, preparing to perfunctory the matter.
After three rounds of drinking in the hall, Sun Jian just raised his bottle and talked about business with the scholar who was sitting upright beside him: "Song Gong, I wonder what Liu Jingzhou is planning? What kind of 'harmony' method is there?"
Song Zhong hesitated for a moment, but still spoke sincerely: "Sun Polu, what Liu Jingzhou means is that the country is in turmoil now, and you and he are both important officials of the court, and you should put the security of the country and the people first..."
"Song Gong." Sun Jian became even more amused upon hearing this. "I'm just asking you about Liu Jingzhou's plan. Just keep it simple. Why are you saying this?"
Song Zhong was confused for a moment: "Since we are negotiating for peace, we must have a name, right? How can we negotiate for peace if we don't talk about this?"
Sun Wentai and many of the officers in the hall looked at each other, and then they realized that this man was a rotten scholar. Zu Mao simply laughed out loud, but Sun Jian stared back.
"Then Duke Song, continue." Sun Jian raised his hand helplessly.
In this way, Song Zhongzi talked for a long time, and Sun Jian finally understood what Liu Biao meant... It turned out that Liu Biao wanted to say that if Sun Jian was willing to give up Xinye and Chaoyang counties to Lu Bu, a serious Nanyang prefect, then he would be willing to let him.
Huang Zu took action to bind Yuan Shu into Chang'an, and the taxes on the east bank of Bishui also belonged to Sun Jian!
It's not that Sun Jian couldn't understand this. After all, after Gongsun Xun defeated Yuan Shao, his political stance shifted, and Yuan and Yuan became recognized political villains in the world. But now that Yuan Shu has been defeated, with only a few thousand remaining soldiers, he has lost his last point.
In terms of utilization value, Liu Biao also knew that he could no longer be tied to Yuan Shu, so he simply took it out and showed off his military strength to see if he could change his safety.
However, again, Sun Jian's strategic situation is very good now. He is planning to join Liu Biao and Huang Zu, so how can he agree to stop the army? Let alone give up Chaoyang and Xinye, two important areas that are obviously Xiangyang's barrier.
"So what if I don't allow it?" After hearing this, Sun Wentai's attitude inevitably became frivolous. "Did Liu Jingzhou think that he could scare me away by sending 20,000 more recruits to Liu Pan and Huang Zhong? Was it possible that he was defeated in Xinye before?
Not these two people? If we fight again, including Cai Hao and Lu Bu, they will also be defeated."
"General, listen to me." Song Zhong earnestly advised. "Swordsmanship is an ominous thing, but now that the world is gradually beginning to have peace and tranquility, we are all Han ministers. If we can all take a step back, it will be a blessing for the world...
"
"Isn't Liu Jingzhou the only one who is a Han official?" Sun Jian became more perfunctory. "I am also a Han official."
"But the general's expedition is said to be unfair and unfavorable." Song Zhong continued to speak earnestly. "Be careful!"
"How do you say that?" Sun Jian disagreed. "The general is guilty. As a Han official, shouldn't I attack him?"
"Having said that, in the land of Nanyang, Liu Jingzhou is the governor of Jingzhou and has the right to command the state; while Marquis Lu Wen is the prefect of Nanyang and should control the affairs of Nanyang. Even though the post general is guilty, he is still an important minister of the court, and even more
It was General Polu who elected the leader, how can he ask for the crime without permission? What's more, Liu Yuzhou is the lord of Yuzhou, and now General Polu is living in Yuzhou and comes to Nanyang to take over the generals. It would be unavoidable to face these few..."
"Song Gong, stay here!" Sun Jian suddenly interrupted. "Who do you think Liu Yuzhou is?"
"Liu Bei, the governor of Yuzhou!" Song Zhong replied seriously.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall from Sun Jian on down changed their expressions.
"My brother Xuande is in the south?" In the summer, Sun Jian was stunned and felt like his hair stood on his head. If Liu Bei was on the opposite side, the meaning behind it would not be a matter of winning or losing a battle. Sun Wentai might be in danger of overthrowing.
"That's not what I mean, but Liu Yuzhou and Liu Jingzhou are both Han clan clansmen, and they have been neighbors for many years. They have always been good friends. But when I heard that Sun Polu and Liu Jingzhou were fighting for days, killing and wounding countless innocent people, I wrote a letter here to persuade them.
And..." As he said that, Song Zhong took out a letter from his arms.
At this time, all the generals in the hall were relieved. As for Sun Jian, who was sitting with Song Zhong, he had repeatedly reminded himself to give face to this famous man with a great reputation in the south. After being so frightened, he saw
The letter can’t help but get angry!
As a result, the man became so angry that he stood up, grabbed the letter, slapped it on the case, and yelled: "You are ridiculous! Did Liu Jingsheng ask you to come here to humiliate me or to tease me?!"
Song Zhong hadn't spoken yet, but beside him there was a young man with tied hair and an entourage who stood up angrily: "My father is a great scholar of ancient Chinese classics. He has always been well-known. He is often called North and South together with Zheng Gong of Gaomi. He avoids disasters in Jingxiang.
Even in the land of Bashu, there are scholars who are famous for studying. If it were not for the sake of peace in the world, how could I condescend to see you, a warrior who only knows how to kill people? You are already insulting us father and son by sharing the same table today! And my father is thinking about it.
The world is suffering from war, but you have been so sincere in advising me, but you have humiliated me even more!"
Sun Jian was extremely angry and laughed back: "Today we know why General Wei wanted to drive away Cui Yan from Zheng Xuan's side. Although your father is ignorant, he knows some etiquette, but you are like a child who borrows his name. Although you are young, you are already able to mess with the crowd!"
"Of course I am just a person who borrowed my father's name, but General Wei studied under the great scholars Lu Gong and Liu Gong. He is a person who can be regarded as a serious inheritor of Confucian classics. Do you, a melon and a murderer indiscriminately, have the qualifications to compare with him?"
The young man's face turned red and reddened. "The reason why the world is in chaos is that there are too many warriors like you with evil intentions! From my point of view..."
Sun Jian heard half of it. He first heard that the other party had insulted his ancestors, and then the other party talked about his painful points. In addition, he was really frightened by Song Zhong before. He was still sweating, but it was difficult to suppress it. He just casually picked up the wooden frame from behind.
He took off a short halberd and threw it lightly across the mat. The young man's neck was torn immediately, blood spattered on the mat, and he died immediately beside his father...
The whole hall was completely silent, but Song Zhong was so confused that he didn't react for a moment. After a long time, he lost his composure in mourning and howled while caressing the corpse.
Not that there were no scribes in the hall, but there were also many people from Nanyang, Yingchuan, and Runan. At this time, they came out one after another, knelt down and begged Song Zhong to forgive him. Sun Wentai also realized that he had done something stupid, but he could only wave his hand in embarrassment.
Let someone take this father and son out.
That night, when Zhu Zhi heard about this, he crossed the river to see him in shock, only to find that Sun Wentai and the core generals were waiting for him in the blood-stained hall of Xinye City.
"I was wrong!" Seeing Zhu Zhi, who had always advised him to be kind to scholars, Sun Jian was inevitably embarrassed, so he admitted that he was wrong. "But now, there is nothing we can do."
"The key is how to deal with people's hearts?" Zhu Zhi smiled bitterly and lost his composure, as if his resentment could not be eliminated. "How could I not know that the prince has been accustomed to murdering people for decades? He usually charges first and moves forward without taking his own life seriously.
So I don't take other people's lives seriously in private... But if you, a prince, don't take your own life seriously, what's the use of your great inheritance? If you don't take other people's lives seriously, who will be willing to follow you? Song Zhong
The local scholar, Ru Ying and Wan Xiang, was said to be the best in ancient literature. He is still serving as an envoy to this day. His son is just a young man with tied hair. How can he be killed in public? If the news spreads, I am afraid that there will be trouble behind him. Yingchuan's reinforcements
All will be delayed!"
"I know." Sun Wentai replied with all his strength. "So we must have a big victory. We must quickly defeat the troops of Deng County and Caiyang. Otherwise, the stalemate will last for a long time and people's hearts will disperse faster... And if we can win quickly...
, great victory, no one cares about the death of a young man."
"But now there are 25,000 people in Deng County and 15,000 people in Caiyang. They face each other across the river and serve as a response. We only had 17,800 soldiers after the previous battle. How could we quickly defeat the two armies without reinforcements?"
Lu Dajun?" At this point, Zhu Zhi could only force himself to forget the matter and inquire seriously. "Especially the enemies in Deng County, whose number has exceeded ours, and there are also famous people like Lu Bu, Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, and Cai Mao.
Among the generals, although Liu Pan suffered defeats, he was also a brave and knowledgeable man, and there was also Huang Zhong who was brave and brave."
"Liu Pan and Huang Zhong are not the only ones who are most feared along the way," Sun Jian responded. "We just discussed that although Lu Bu only has 800 cavalry, we should not underestimate it... because if he only has 800 cavalry, he will not be able to defeat Jing.
The land of Xiang is of no great use. Just like Xu Kun did before, he was blocked by the mountains and rivers and was trapped to death. But now he joins forces with Liu, Huang, and Cai, with the infantry as anvils and the cavalry as hammers, but there will be a big
Use...it’s not like we haven’t tasted the power of his cavalry!”
"More than that." Jiang Qin said seriously. "We have too few cavalry, and the sentry cavalry has gradually been unable to cross the river from the lower reaches in the past few days."
"Then how to fight?" Zhu Jiahe asked puzzledly. "Could it be that you want me to stick to Chaoyang, and the princes will go to the east bank of Bishui to defeat Huang Zu? But if so, there are many soldiers in Deng County, so they divide their troops to stop me, and then send troops
If we cross the river to occupy the new country, won't the king be trapped and die on the east bank of Bishui?"
"So we must attack Deng County first and defeat Lu Bu, Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, and Cai Mao face to face!" Sun Jian said simply. "Huang Zu and Yuan Shu are incompetent and will not cross the river easily..."
"But even so..." Zhu Zhi still found it difficult to understand. "Chief Lieutenant Jiang just said that there are 800 Bingzhou cavalry from Lu Bu over there. Our army's sentry cavalry can't even go downstream, and even in Chaoyang, I feel that the south is dark.
...Then if our army forcibly crosses the river, whether by building a pontoon bridge or swimming across the river, the other party will definitely know about it and then attack them halfway across the river, right?"
"I'm going to use him to think he has control of the military situation, so he can catch him by surprise and cover up his unpreparedness!" Sun Wentai finally raised his sword and spoke boldly, making the final decision. "I have made up my mind. Within three days, I will defeat the four thieves in Deng County!"
Zhu Zhi had followed Sun Jian for a long time, so he naturally knew the other side's style. And just as he was helpless in politics, there was no doubt that he was strong in military affairs, and it was by no means calculated based on the number of wins and losses.
"This time, someone doesn't have Jia Luan and Wu Xiang to help him. The two sides are relying on their own strong troops to collide head-on and have a showdown!" Seeing Zhu Zhi, Sun Jian didn't say much. As he made up his mind, Sun Jian's expression became more and more intense.
Ferocious. "And if Guangwu is talented, please ask him to be a witness across the river to see if the Bingzhou tiger and the Jiangdong tiger meet on a fair basis. Who can really roar in the world! I hope you will follow me to fight hard and help me succeed!"
From Zhu Zhi on down, all the generals came out one after another to bow their heads and say, "Hey!"
—I am the dividing line between a tiger and a tigress—
"When Taizu of this dynasty established his career in Ye, he always kept Xiang Yu's broken blade by his side. He would caress it frequently when something happened. If someone who was discussing the matter saw it, he would be surprised and suspicious, thinking that there was going to be a murder. Yang Xiu was a side servant. When he heard about it, he came out.
He said: "This general suppressed his desire to kill, and when he saw it, he became uneasy." Everyone was relieved. The next day when Taizu heard about it, he ordered Xiu to stand in front of the court, and he stroked his eyes for a long time.
He said: 'To suppress the desire to kill, you must first have the intention to kill. The old words are not true!' Everyone laughed." "Shi Shuo Xin Yu", You Hui Chapter
