The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 513 Snobbery makes people fight

The Battle of Xingyang came to an end with Cao Cao's disastrous defeat.

Bao Tao, the younger brother of Bao Xin in Jibei County, died in the battle, and Wei Zi, who helped Cao Cao Yu Chenliu, also died in the battle.

Bao Xin was wounded five times, but in the end he broke out of the siege. Cao Cao was injured by an arrow and escaped from death. Cao Chun and Cao Hong finally broke out of the siege.

Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun were also covered in bruises and had to return with a hundred horses.

In the Battle of Xingyang, Dong Zhuo's army won a complete victory, beheading tens of thousands of allied forces, and capturing countless banners and battles.

Cao Cao collected the defeated soldiers all the way, and when he returned to Suanzao, there were only more than [-] generals gathered under his command.

"We are just starting to promote righteousness, but to eliminate thieves for the country. Today Dong Zhuo is in Luoyang, right in the Eight Passes!"

"Let Bohai lead the people of Hanoi to Mengjin, and we will guard Chenggao. According to Aocang, Saiyuyuan [huàn, yuán], and Taigu, we will completely control the dangers. Let General Lu lead the army of Nanyang, Dan, Xi, and enter Wu Off, to shock Sansuke!"

"All are high fortifications and deep walls. Don't fight with them. They will be doubtful soldiers. They will show the situation of the world. If they follow suit and punish rebellion, they can be established. Today's soldiers move with righteousness. If they hold doubts and do not advance, they will lose the hope of the world and steal the shame of all lords. Of!"

No one paid attention to Cao Cao's impassioned words, and no one echoed Cao Cao's plan.

Cao Cao's heart became completely cold, he didn't continue to talk, but walked out of the big tent slowly.

The Kwantung Allied Forces are already far apart, hopeless.

They talk about benevolence and morality, righteousness, and integrity, but they only have interests in their eyes.

Whether it is the emperor of Chang'an or the emperor of Chendu, they treat them as nothing.

"Brother..."

Cao Hong and the others stood outside the tent, supporting each other, and looked at Cao Cao who came out of the tent.

Each of them was more or less wounded, and each of them was covered in blood.

Cao Cao clenched his fists tightly and looked around at the people standing in front of him, his gaze was very firm.

He is Cao Cao, he is Cao Mengde, and he will definitely not let this fall down.

"Let's go to Yangzhou and continue to recruit soldiers..."

……

"Cao Cao is defeated..."

In Chen Du's palace, Liu Xie couldn't help feeling a little depressed when he heard Wang Yue's report.

Although this was expected, he still hoped that Cao Cao would win.

Now Liu Xie's residence is the old palace of Chen Wang Liu Chong, which was rebuilt. After Liu Xie moved in, this place also became a palace.

It is also worthy of Liu Xie to call Liu Chong an uncle. Liu Chong maintains respect for Liu Xie, the emperor, and never treats Liu Xie like a child no matter it is a big or small matter.

Liu Chongfu's title of General Han was also promoted by Liu Xie to General Hussars, which was Wang Yue's proposal.

Yuan Shao called himself General Chaqi, and his prestige was too grand. The only thing Liu Xie can rely on now is Liu Chong. Although Liu Chong is the king of Chen, his official position is not high.

General Fu Han sounds famous, but he is far inferior to Yuan Shao's Chariot General, so he has to be added as Hussar General.

The Kwantung Allied Forces were obedient on the surface, but they lingered in Suanzao and Huai counties, built high fortifications without fighting, and feasted and feasted every day.

This is the information about Suanzao sent by the Embroidered Clothes Emissary lurking in the dark.

The current Embroidered Clothes Emissary has completely lurked in the dark and no longer shows up in the bright side.

Although Wang Yue now has the title of Commander of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy, he actually claims to be the Habayashi Nakaro General of Habayashi Guard.

Liu Xie did not set up an embroidered clothes envoy anymore, he still remembers the faces of those aristocratic families on the day when the embroidered clothes envoy was abolished.

Although Liu Xie was young, he knew that the Kwantung Allied Forces were all started from aristocratic families, and lost the sharp edge of the embroidered clothes envoy and Jian Shuo who protected him from the wind and rain.

From now on, everything will depend on himself, relying on the development of the team that Jian Shuo left him in the end, and he must not be anxious.

Lu Zhi is dead, no one has enough prestige to suppress those arrogant soldiers.

Liu Xie knew the inside story of that palace change. After Jian Shuo supported him to ascend the throne, he told him everything in detail.

Those arrogant soldiers and powerful families will never allow themselves to stand up as embroidered emissaries again.

Today's Wang Yue is determined not to be able to stop them, even if Liu Chong is added, the newly recruited Habayashi guards only have more than a thousand people, and the number of songs under Liu Chong's command is no more than [-].

He has the title of emperor for nothing, but not many people support him.

Hundreds of officials are in Chang'an, and the family has their own ghosts. Now the entire Chendu court has only a dozen officials.

The Taiwei Liu Yu is still in Youzhou, and the Taiwei is a remote Taiwei.

Liu Xie didn't know how to maintain the imperial court. The current imperial court's prestige was only managed by Liu Chong, so it had a little imperial meaning.

There are actually not many people who still obey him today.

Chen Wang Liu Chong counted as one, Yuzhou Governor Kong Ni (zhòu) counted as one, and Sun Jian counted as one. Except for the three, the other princes only sent envoys to visit once, and there was no follow-up news.

Yuan Shu was humble on the surface, but in fact he was secretly harboring evil intentions.

Liu Xie instinctively did not want to trust Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu who participated in the palace change.

But now Kong Ni's physical condition is deteriorating, and he is already seriously ill. If Liu Chong is left alone, he must be alone. For the current plan, he must win over Sun Jian...

"Sun Jian is already outside the hall."

Just when Liu Xie was fascinated, a Habayashiro in armor stepped forward and reported in a low voice.

Liu Xie came back to his senses, Sun Jian's name obviously lifted his spirits.

"Quickly invite General Sun into the palace..."

Halfway through Liu Xie's speech, he suddenly remembered the allusion Jian Shuo once mentioned.

Zhou Gong vomits and feeds, bathes three times, vomits food three times, and the world returns to his heart.

"Do not……"

Liu Xie stood up and stopped Habayashiro who was going to pass the message.

"I will meet General Sun myself!"

Wang Yue's expression moved slightly, and he wanted to stop him. No matter what, Liu Xie was still the emperor, how could he condescend to meet Sun Jian.

But in the end he still didn't speak out.

Although Liu Xie was young and his body was thin, he gave Wang Yue a feeling of firmness.

At this time, Sun Jian was still at a loss for Liu Xie to greet him in person. He stood outside the hall without looking sideways, staring at the steps in front of him.

In the past, he also entered the imperial palace, and entered the imperial palace in Luoyang, and he also waited under the steps like this, waiting for the emperor to summon him.

It's just that time has passed and everything has changed, and it is no longer what it used to be.

"If Zhu Gong saw all this, how desolate it would be..."

Sun Jian thought of Zhu Jun, and thought of that majestic little old man in his fifties who still had great ambitions.

At the banquet, Zhu Jun held the wine glass and stood on the first seat, praised him without hesitation to everyone, and praised him as Zuojun Sima.

When he was in Meiyang Daying, he felt that Dong Zhuo was very ambitious and arrogant.

At that time, Dong Zhuo was already very arrogant. Zhang Wen recruited Dong Zhuo with the emperor's edict. Dong Zhuo delayed going to see Zhang Wen for a long time.

Zhang Wen reprimanded Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo responded with disobedience, even dismissiveness.

Sun Jian suggested that Zhang Wen behead Dong Zhuo and experience Dong Zhuo's three major crimes, which is well-founded, but Zhang Wen did not do it in the end.

If Zhang Wen killed Dong Zhuo back then, how could there be such a catastrophe...

"General Sun?"

A soft cry interrupted Sun Jian's thoughts.

Sun Jian looked up and saw a half-grown child walking out of the hall.

Sun Jian's eyes moved slightly. There was only one young man in the palace, and that young man was the current emperor.

Looking at the clothes worn by the young man in front of him, Sun Jian bowed down without much hesitation.

"Your Majesty, Sun Jian, greet His Majesty."

"General Sun please come up."

Before Sun Jian could recover, a pair of hands had already grasped his arms.

Liu Xie said with a smile: "When I was still in the deep palace, I often heard about General Sun's deeds."

Sun Jian did not resist. Although Liu Xie's hand was not strong, he still stood up. He bowed slightly and lowered his body a little.

Although Liu Xie was born in the palace, he ate much more and better food than ordinary children.

Although he is only nine years old now, he is as tall as an ordinary eleven or twelve-year-old child, more than six feet tall.

It's just that Sun Jian is more than eight feet tall, even if he bends down, he is still taller than Liu Xie.

Sun Jian thought of many ways to meet Liu Xie, but he never thought that Liu Xie would come out of the hall to greet him, instead of waiting for him to enter inside the hall.

"No wonder Duke Lu is willing to risk his life to die..."

Sun Jian followed Liu Xie into the main hall, which was different from the gloomy horror of the old palace, but it looked very majestic.

Although Liu Xie is thin and young, but between his eyebrows and eyes, there is a bit of majesty.

I don't know if it's the atmosphere created by the main hall, or the ring of the emperor on his body, or the majesty given by the guards in the hall.

Sun Jian looked sideways at Wang Yue sitting beside Liu Xie.

Protecting the lord for thousands of miles, Wang Yue escorted Liu Xie all the way from Luoyang to Chendu. Naturally, it was extremely difficult along the road, but this person did what was almost impossible.

Worthy of the name of a knight, Sun Jian had also been a ranger when he was young, and he admired such a person very much.

Noticing Sun Jian's gaze, Wang Yue bowed his head slightly to show respect.

Sun Jian's reputation is not weaker than Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others. Yuan Shao's Marquis of Beixiang, General of Chariots, Yuan Shu's Rear General, and Cao Cao's General of Fenwu are all self-proclaimed without much military exploits.

However, Sun Jian's official position, as well as the Marquis, were really won from the battlefield with a knife and a gun.

Although General Polu was proclaimed by Yuan Shu, he was considered self-appointed, but in fact Sun Jian's military exploits were already enough to reach the position of general.

Purge the Yellow Turbans, attack the rebels in the west, resist Xu'an in the north, and Ping Jingzhou in the south.

The South and North Wars lasted for several years, and finally he was named a Marquis because of his military exploits.

Sun Jian responded to the appeal against Dong and resolutely chose to lead his troops northward. On the way northward, he did two major things.

The first was to kill Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and the second was to kill Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang.

In the past, Wang Rui and Sun Jian pacified Lingling and Guiyang together.

Because Sun Jian was a military officer, he often showed contempt in his speech.Sun Jian had long been dissatisfied with this.Wang Rui couldn't get along with Cao Yin, the prefect of Wuling.

This time he raised his troops against Dong Zhuo, and Wang Rui declared that he would kill Cao Yin first.

Cao Yin was afraid of being killed, so he forged the proclamation of Guanglu doctor Wen Yi and sent it to Sun Jian. The proclamation mentioned Wang Rui's crimes and ordered Sun Jian to execute him.

After Sun Jian received the proclamation, he immediately raised his troops to go.

Wang Rui heard that there were troops coming, so he went up to the tower to watch, and sent someone to inquire about the intention of these soldiers coming here.

Sun Jian's front line replied that he just wanted some clothes and money.

Wang Rui believed it was true.Immediately, an order was sent to open the treasury and let the soldiers go in by themselves to see if there was anything else that could be spent.

When the incoming soldiers rushed downstairs, Wang Rui found Sun Jian and was shocked. He thought these soldiers came spontaneously.

But I didn't expect Sun Jian to be mixed in the team,

Holding the call to arms, Sun Jian said in a cold voice, "I am here to take your head, following the call to action of the envoy."

Wang Rui asked in surprise, "What is my crime?"

Sun Jian didn't think about answering Wang Rui at all, and said calmly: "Sit and don't know."

Sun Jian was so arrogant that he didn't even want to tell Wang Rui the crimes in the call to action.

Wang Rui had no way out, and finally scraped the gold and drank it to death. "

Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, remained neutral, neither willing to help Dong Zhuo nor the Kwantung Allied Forces.

When Sun Jian first arrived in Nanyang, Zhang Zi excused himself and refused to give him military rations, nor did he want to meet with Sun Jian.

With this nail in place, Sun Jian naturally didn't dare to march easily. Zhang Zi had more than [-] soldiers. If he joined forces with Dong Zhuo's army during his march, he would be trapped to death in the center.

So Sun Jian falsely claimed that he was suffering from a sudden illness, and his army was panicked. He greeted the witch doctor and prayed to the mountains and rivers.

Sun Jian sent his personal guards to inform Zhang Zi, saying that he was critically ill and wanted to pay him with soldiers.

After Zhang Zi heard about it, after many inquiries, he thought that Sun Jian was really critically ill, so he took more than [-] soldiers to Sun Jian's barracks, hoping to receive Sun Jian's trilogy.

Sun Jian lay down on the couch and met Zhang Zi. After seeing Zhang Zi, Sun Jian didn't try to hide it any more.

The generals who followed Zhang Zi to the camp were either beheaded by Sun Jian or killed by guards.

It's ridiculous that Zhang Zi thought that he could rest easy with a lot of generals, but none of those generals could block Sun Jian's blade.

Liu Xie didn't say too much about Sun Jian's killing of Wang Rui and Zhang Zi.

Sun Jian's killing of Wang Rui may have been due to personal enmity, but Zhang Zi's death was completely self-inflicted.

Liu Xie paused, then suddenly said: "General Sun, does he know the news of Duke Kong's death..."

Sun Jian's expression changed slightly and he said, "Could it be Kong Ni, governor of Yuzhou, Kong Gongxu?!"

If Kong Ni died at this time, there would be turmoil in Yuzhou, and the situation in the world would undoubtedly deteriorate further.

"Exactly."

"Now that the coalition forces have suffered setbacks, General Cao Cao was defeated in the Battle of Xingyang, but the generals of Suanzao did not move. Just a few days ago, Suanzao also had turmoil..."

Liu Xie didn't finish his sentence, but Sun Jian knew what Liu Xie was referring to.

Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, had a lot of quarrels with Qiaomao, governor of Dongjun. Liu Dai found an excuse to ask Qiaomao, governor of Dongjun, to borrow food.

Qiaomao naturally refused to join him, so Liu Dai led his army into Qiaomao's camp, killed Qiaomao, and surrendered all of them. County prefect.

Liu Xie tried his best to recall what Jian Shuo taught him before, sat upright, and said sincerely to Sun Jian.

"Thief Dong intended to poison me in the mansion, but thanks to Lu Gong's desperate rescue, he was able to escape from Luoyang and be safe."

"Nowadays the world is in chaos, and all the people in the coalition have different ideas. The late emperor once said, 'Wentai is brave, civil and military, brave like a tiger, and loyalty can be learned from'. I want to entrust Yuzhou to General Sun. I don't know if General Sun is willing to lead it The post of Inspector of Yuzhou."

Sun Jian's body shook, and he suddenly looked up at Liu Xie.

If Yuzhou was still the original Yuzhou, then Sun Jian would definitely not be as shocked as he is now.

But the current status of Yuzhou is actually much more important than before.

There are six prefectures in Yuzhou, Yingchuan, Runan, Liang, Pei, Lu, and Chen.

And Chen Guo is now the area directly controlled by the emperor.

The current Yuzhou is actually equivalent to the former Sili Xiaowei Department.

Liu Xie entrusted him with the position of governor of Yuzhou, which was equivalent to entrusting him with the original position of Lieutenant of Sili.

It is tantamount to handing over his wealth and life to him completely.

The Habayashi Guard has a total of [-] people, and Liu Chong has only [-] people under his command.

Now that the power of the state pastor is increasing, as long as Sun Jian moves into Yuzhou, he just wants to emulate Dong Zhuo, and Liu Xie has no strength to resist.

Sun Jian firmly grasped the jade pendant tied around his waist.

He still remembered that night, when countless lights of fire appeared outside Sunflower City, Zhu Jun stood in front of him and solemnly handed over the jade pendant that was close to him to him.

"After all, I still lost..."

The little old man, who had always kept his back straight, bent down in front of him.

Only then did he realize that the hero he had always admired was already a dying old man.

A mist slowly appeared in front of Sun Jian's eyes.

Liu Xie stood up, with a serious face, and said loudly.

"Today, Sun Jian is granted the title of Inspector of Yuzhou, receiving a holiday, and ranks among the Nine Ministers!"

Sun Jian pressed his hands to the ground, slowly bent his body, lowered his head, and said solemnly.

"Sir Sun Jian, take orders!"

　It took two hours to write the last thousand words, which was a bit difficult
