The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 514 Jiangdong Tiger!

"Bang-"

Lacquer ware filled with meat was on the desk, and tripod pots were scattered all over the floor.

Yuan Shu's face was frosty, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The news of Kong Ni's death and the news of Sun Jian's appointment as governor of Yuzhou reached his ears at the same time.

The young emperor in Chendu seems to have his own thoughts...

Because Sun Jian killed Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, he gathered some of their soldiers. Today, Sun Jian has more than [-] soldiers under his command.

Although it seems to have a great momentum, it is actually a rootless duckweed.

Sun Jian only had the title of General Polu, and Yuan Shu had been supplying him with food and grass when he was stationed in Luyang.

Yuan Shu held Sun Jian's lifeline, as long as the supply of food and grass was cut off, Sun Jian's troops would collapse without a fight.

But now all the calculations were in vain. Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, died of illness suddenly, but he didn't know it. He didn't hear about it until after Sun Jian's appointment.

What does this prove?Undoubtedly, it proves that Donghou Liuxie in Chendu still controls a lot of power.

"Embroidered Clothes Messenger!"

Yuan Shu's expression was gloomy, and then a hideous look emerged.

It was an embroidered messenger again, every time it was an embroidered messenger, since the imitation of the embroidered messenger set up by the Eagle Wolf Guard came out, the influence of the aristocratic family has been deteriorating, and on the contrary, the imperial power has become more and more stable.

Today's Yuzhou is actually like the former Sili Xiaowei Department. Yuan Shu naturally knows such a simple matter.

The position of governor of Yuzhou is extremely important. He doesn't know what Sun Jian did to gain Liu Xie's trust, but he understands that Sun Jian is basically out of his control now.

Served as governor of Yuzhou and awarded false festivals, it can be said that Sun Jian is now the most powerful official in the court of Chendu, even surpassing Chen Wang Liu Chong, and his status is close to that of Yuan Shao, the current leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces.

Yuzhou is the prefecture with the largest population density among the thirteen prefectures of Hanting, and it is governed by Qiao County in Peiguo.

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yuzhou had a total of [-] cities and towns in six counties, with [-] million households living, not counting hermit households, and [-] million people who were slaves.

Runan, Yingchuan, Chenguo, and Peiguo are all large counties with a population of over one million. In particular, Runan County has the second largest population in the world, second only to Nanyang County in Jingzhou.

When Kong Ni was alive, there were more than [-] soldiers in Yuzhou. Although most of them were newly recruited, they were not incapable of fighting.

Yuzhou is rich, so the Yuzhou army is relatively well equipped with armor and armor.

It's a pity that Kong Ni is a qualified scribe, but not a qualified general.

If you talk about plain and lofty theories, bragging is naturally the first class, but he doesn't have military talent or sharpness.

As the governor of Yuzhou, he is unable to advance westward. Even though he has the heart to serve the country, he has no power to serve the country. It is not sad.

But now that Sun Jian succeeds Yuzhou governor, everything will change.

Sun Jian is not Kong Ni, and Yuan Shu is well aware of Sun Jian's horror.

Yuzhou was handed over to Sun Jian, with arms like a tiger and wings, soaring all over the world!
This fierce tiger from Jiangdong has made the world remember his name, and adding wings to it, I am afraid that not many people in this world can stop him...

All the soldiers in the house lowered their heads, not paying attention to Yuan Shu's expression.

Now that Yuan Shu is on the verge of anger, whoever touches Yuan Shu's bad luck at this critical juncture, I'm afraid he will die without a whole body and bring disaster to his family.

Yuan Shu's eyes flickered. The only chance now is that Sun Jian has many generals under his command, but not many people with management talents.

In Runan and Yingchuan counties, there are many powerful families. Before Sun Jian killed Jingzhou governor Wang Rui and famous scholar Zhang Zi, his reputation among scholars has plummeted. This can be used by him.

……

August seventeenth.

Liu Xie went ten miles out of the city, and personally sent Sun Jian off to fight, and gave him banners and canopies.

Sun Jian had already integrated all the soldiers in Yuzhou. Sun Jian didn't take all of them under his command, but asked Wang Yue to select Jianyong from among them to fill in the Yulin Army, and set up a new battalion of [-] imperial troops as protection.

When Sun Jian became the governor of Yuzhou, most of the officials in the Kong Ni period were not replaced. Sun Jian did not intervene in the affairs of the people's livelihood, mainly because he made changes in the military.

Weeding out the old and the weak, recruiting new recruits, and training soldiers, in just ten months, has already achieved initial results, at least it looks like a strong army.

Sun Jian's original trilogy was stationed in Luyang. This time he set off from Yuzhou. He did not bring too many soldiers, but only selected [-] elite soldiers to accompany him.

The number of soldiers is no longer more than the quality. Sun Jian is very aware of his military strategy level, so he only brought [-] soldiers.

What's more, now that the country is in turmoil, Liu Xie lives in Chen State, if there are not enough soldiers to guard...

The flags were flying, and Sun Jian was riding on a war horse. In the past, when he set out from Huaisi, thousands of sons followed behind him, but now things have changed.

The Kwantung Allied Forces in the North were lingering, with tens of thousands of troops, but except for Cao Cao and Bao Xin, no one was willing to go west. They all had their own ghosts and wasted food and grass every day.

Sun Jian knew very well that this would not work.

The Kwantung Allied Forces now have their own ghosts, and the prefectures, pastoral and county guards are becoming more and more powerful and independent. I am afraid that many princes have already begun to separate themselves.

Qin lost its deer, and the whole world pursued it.

Sun Jian has read history books, and he knows the reason for the demise of the former Qin Dynasty. The troubled times have already begun, and the prestige of the Han Dynasty was stepped on by Dong Zhuo.

The sky has two suns, and the earth has two masters.

For Liu Xie, for Liu Bian, many princes have lost their awe.

He had to fight this battle, and he had to win.

Only by winning, only by winning can Xiaoxiao be deterred and destiny can be reshaped.

Xu An led the Yellow Turban Army to the south and occupied Hedong County. Dong Zhuo's army in Hedong County was almost defeated.

Xu An's threat also made Dong Zhuo finally decide to move the capital. As long as Dong Zhuo is not willing to be trapped to death in the Luoyang Basin, he must make plans early.

In fact, Dong Zhuojun, who just defeated Cao Cao, looks extremely powerful, but this time is also when Dong Zhuojun is weakest.

In the bloody battle of Xingyang, although Cao Cao was defeated, he still caused a lot of damage to Dong Zhuo's army.

In order to move the capital to Chang'an and to guard against Xu'an, Dong Zhuo's army currently has only [-] to [-] troops in Luoyang.

Luoyang Baguan, as well as cities such as Luoyang City, naturally need soldiers to guard.

That is to say, Dong Zhuo can mobilize only [-] to [-] soldiers in the field. As long as he receives another soldier from Yuan Shu, the strength of the two sides will be evenly matched.

Dong Zhuo's army is an elite, and the soldiers under his command are not inferior soldiers? !

He didn't have much fear of Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian, and even had some contempt. It was because he had worked with Dong Zhuo that he dismissed Dong Zhuo.

Although Dong Zhuo was famous for his bravery, his army was actually inferior. Whether it was the Yellow Turban War or the Qiang chaos in the Northwest, his performance was a bit unsightly.

Dong Zhuo was named Marquis because of his meritorious service, but it was not the military merit of victory, but the military merit of escaping.

In the past, Dong Zhuo's army was besieged by the Qiang Hu in Wangyuan. They were short of food and had to advance and retreat urgently.

Dong Zhuo ordered the army to pretend to be fishing, and sneaked down to pass the army.

By the time the Qiang people found out, it was already too late.

At that time Zhou Shen was almost completely annihilated, and all the troops chasing Xiqiang retreated, but only Zhuo returned with his entire army, so he was granted the title of Marquis of the Township, with thousands of households in the city.

The Xiliang army may be strong and brave, but it is obvious that Dong Zhuo is not some kind of military strategist.

Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others were afraid of Dong Zhuo like a jackal, but he was not afraid of Dong Zhuo.

Let General Lu lead the army of Nanyang, Dan and Xi, into Wuguan to shock Sanfu!
August [-]rd.

Sun Jian led the troops to Luyang and met with Yuan Shu.

The edict was in the hands of Sun Jian, and Yuan Shu had no excuse to refuse. He could only send [-] troops to aid Sun Jian. Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan County, also brought [-] troops to help.

So far, the total force under Sun Jian's command has finally reached [-].

These [-] people are well-equipped with armor and well-trained, and their every move really looks like a strong army.

August twenty-fourth.

Sun Jian led an army of [-] troops into the territory of Sili Xiaowei Department, and set up camp in the east of Liang County.

At this time, Xuan Tingwei also passed the news that Sun Jian led the troops to the north to Dong Zhuo who was in Luoyang.

But when he saw the letter, Dong Zhuo's face darkened instantly.

Sun Jian...

Dong Zhuo still remembers this general who was in the same account with him in the past.

Dong Zhuo had met Zhu Jun before, and he had also seen Zhu Jun use soldiers. If there is one person in the world whose fighting style is very similar to Zhu Jun, then it must be Sun Jian.

And Sun Jian's tactics are not only very similar to Zhu Jun's, his method of using troops also coincides with the way of military situation.

There are rumors that Sun Jian seems to be a descendant of Sun Wu, and there are many military books hidden in his home.

Dong Zhuo stopped and asked Li Ru, "How many field troops can be mobilized now?"

Li Ru replied respectfully: "Thirty-six thousand people."

"Immediately order Xu Rong to lead [-] troops to stop Sun Jian!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Dong Zhuo directly chose to hand over all the field troops that could be mobilized under his command to Xu Rong's hands.

The Kwantung Allied Forces of Huai County and Suanzao have not moved at all. Of course, even if the Kwantung Allied Forces of Huai County and Suanzao suddenly attacked, they would first have to face a bloody battle outside the eight passes of Luoyang. At that time, Dong Zhuo could dispatch troops calmly Will.

Dong Zhuo walked slowly towards the huge map in front of him, and the fingers of his right hand suddenly pointed to the location of the new city.

"Right here, eat up Sun Jian's followers!"

"As long as Sun Jian is defeated, all these farces will also end!"

The flame of ambition in Dong Zhuo's eyes danced recklessly.

Under the light of the lamp, his face looked extremely hideous.

……

August [-], Xincheng, Henan County.

The once prosperous new city has now been turned into a sea of ​​flames.

The setting sun was setting, the setting sun was like blood, and the flames soaring into the sky made the earth red.

Sun Jian was covered in blood, and the guards beside him were stabbed off their horses one by one by Dong Zhuojun's soldiers. Sun He and Sun Ben held spears, one left and one right, guarding Sun Jian's side.

Sun Ben was the son of Sun Qiang, the elder brother of Sun Jian, and the cousin of Sun Ce and Sun Quan.

Sun He is the son of Sun Jian's brothers from the same clan. He fought with Sun Jian all the way since he was a child. From the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the fight against Xiqiang, he never missed a single battle.

Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi and others had already been dispersed by the rebel army.

As soon as they entered the boundary of Xincheng, Sun Jian and Xu Rong met each other on a narrow road, and an encounter broke out like this.

Sun Jian didn't pay attention to the little-known Xu Rong. Even if the opponent defeated Cao Cao, he didn't make Sun Jian think highly of him.

It was arrogance that caused Sun Jian to suffer a big loss. Fan Chou and Hua Xiong led troops to attack from the flanks. First, the trilogy sent by the right army Yuan Shu to aid fell into collapse.

With the collapse of the right army, the rest of the armies also collapsed one after another.

In the Battle of Xincheng, the entire Yuzhou army led by Sun Jian was defeated, Dong Zhuo's army killed tens of thousands of enemies, and Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan County, was captured alive by Xu Rong and cooked in public.

In the end, Sun Jian escaped with only a dozen cavalrymen. Sun Jian was defeated and almost died, but he was Sun Jian after all.

Sun Jian collected the broken soldiers all the way on the way to retreat, but was unexpectedly regrouped by nearly [-] people, and he led the troops all the way back to Yangren City.

And Xu Rong was also worried about whether Sun Jian would have follow-up reinforcements, so he didn't dare to pursue too deeply, so he turned back temporarily.

According to Xuan Tingwei's report, the South Route Army has a total of nearly [-] parts, and now Sun Jian has only half of them. If there is a war of attrition with the Kwantung Allied Forces, they will suffer the loss after all.

September tenth.

Xuan Tingwei found out the news, Sun Jian is now stationed in Yangren, and there are only [-] soldiers under his command.

The follow-up soldiers have not yet felt that the fastest support army will not reach Yangren until September [-]th.

Dong Zhuo made a decisive decision to take Hu Zhen, the prefect of Dongjun, as the general guard, led Zhonglang General Hua Xiong and many cavalry school supervisors, and led more than [-] cavalry to attack.

The Xiliang army was arrogant and unruly, and although Hu Zhen had a high position and authority, he was still difficult to rule.

Hu Zhen was impatient, and threatened to send troops this time to kill a high-ranking "Qingshou" official to clean up discipline. Although the generals settled down temporarily, they all had opinions on Hu Zhen.

Jiuqing, Zhong Erqianshi, Erqianshi Qingshou, the Qingshou mentioned by Hu Zhen refers to these generals.

September [-]th, at dusk.

Hu Zhen led the army to Guangcheng, which was dozens of miles away from Yangren City.

The chariots and horses were exhausted, so the troops should be stationed to rest, and Dong Zhuo's pre-planned plan also required that he camp in Guangcheng first, prepare his troops, recharge his energy, and then march by night to attack the city suddenly at dawn.

However, all the generals under Hu Zhen's command, including Hua Xiong, were quite concerned about what Hu Zhen said before.

Yang Ding and others bewitched Hu Zhen and lied to him, "The thief in the city of Yangren has already left. You should track him down; otherwise, you will lose him."

Hu Zhen led the army to march overnight, and when he arrived at Yangren City, he found that Yangren City was heavily guarded, and it didn't look defenseless at all.

Marching all the way in a hurry, most of Hu Zhen's generals were hungry and thirsty, and their morale was low.

In addition, it is at night, and there is no trench defense.The soldiers had just been disarmed and rested, and the generals under his command spread rumors that Sun Jian led the soldiers in the city to attack by night.

In the dark night, without knowing the true or false, the soldiers ran in confusion, abandoned their armor, knives, and saddle horses.

Sun Jian seized the opportunity and went out of the city to pursue Hu Zhen's army. Hu Zhen's entire army was defeated, and Zhao Cen, the captain of cavalry, was personally beheaded by Sun Jian.

But just when Sun Jian was about to take advantage of the situation to go straight to Huanglong and attack Luoyang in the north, a piece of intelligence from the army made Sun Jian's face change drastically.
