Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40 No.40 Chapter Tiger Falls
In addition, after Sun Jian got the jade seal from the ancient well in Luoyang, he bid farewell to the princes and intended to go down the river and return to his hometown in Jiangdong.

But what Sun Jian never expected was that Yuan Shao secretly disclosed the news that Sun Jian had obtained the jade seal to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

On this day, Sun Jian and his party were heading down the river when they were suddenly ambushed by Liu Biao.

Fortunately, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Sun Ce and others fought hard under Sun Jian's command, which allowed Sun Jian to break out of the encirclement.

However, although Sun Jian and others escaped from the ambush, they were also cut off by Liu Biao on their way back to Jiangdong.

Yuan Shu's life has been a bit rough recently, because he has no food!

In order to raise food and grass, Yuan Shu sent people to Jingzhou to find Liu Biao, intending to borrow a few stones of food and grass to tide over this difficult period first.

However, Liu Biao knew Yuan Shu well, so if he lent him food, wouldn't it mean that the meat buns beat the dogs and never came back?

Liu Biao refused Yuan Shu's request to borrow food, which also made Yuan Shu hate Liu Biao. He even wrote a letter secretly, telling Sun Jian that Yuan Shao and Liu Biao conspired to kill him and plot against Jiangdong and Yuxi!

Although Sun Jian beat him to death and refused to admit that he had obtained the jade seal, he must avenge Liu Biao's revenge!
In Yuan Shu's letter, he told Sun Jian that he would attack Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian could attack Liu Biao.

At that time, after the two of them defeated Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, one of them won Jizhou and the other Jingzhou. Wouldn't it be great?
After Sun Jian read Yuan Shu's letter, he said to his subordinates, "Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are so insidious and cunning. They not only blocked my way back, but also plotted against me in Jiangdong! Yuan Shu said that he wanted to attack Yuan Shao. If I don't take the opportunity to take revenge, what will I do?" Time!"

Cheng Pu always felt that Yuan Shu was not trustworthy, so he persuaded him, "My lord, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are both insidious and cunning people, so don't trust them."

But Sun Jian waved his hand and said, "This is the enmity between Liu Biao and me. I just need an excuse to send troops. I don't expect Yuan Shu to help. As long as he doesn't come to make trouble."

Seeing that Sun Jian had made up his mind, Cheng Pu stopped persuading him.

Sun Jian then ordered to the generals under his command: "Gong Fu, go and prepare warships, ordnance, food and grass, and we will send troops to attack Liu Biao tomorrow!"

"Here!" Huang Gai clasped his fists and took the order to leave.

Jingzhou.

Liu Biao found out about Sun Jian's army through his secret work in Nanyang, and reported all the changes in Sun Jian's troops to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao knew that Sun Jian wanted to attack him, so he ordered Huang Zu's troops in Jiangxia to be the vanguard, and he himself led the main force of Jingxiang as the backup.

The next day, when Sun Jian was about to leave, Sun Ce suddenly came up to him and said, "Father, my son thinks that now Dong Zhuo is in power, the emperor is weak, the world is in chaos, and the princes are divided. We should first find a way to return to Jiangdong to manage the foundation. Now because of a small enmity If I keep fighting with Liu Biao, I'm afraid I won't be able to make things right in the end!"

Sun Jian was surprised by what Sun Ce said, and asked, "Who taught you to say that?"

Sun Ce was stunned, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Quan taught me."

Not only was Sun Jian not annoyed when he heard the words, but he laughed and said, "Hahaha! My elder son is brave and invincible, and my younger son is far-sighted. They are both talents!"

But after Sun Jian laughed, he changed the subject and said, "You don't know something. Then Liu Biao sent troops to intercept it because Yuan Shao revealed that I had the jade seal. If I just avoid the battle and just want to return to Jiangdong, I will definitely let you go." People think we are thieves with a guilty conscience. At that time, Liu Biao will not be the only obstacle on the way home!"

When Sun Ce heard this, he suddenly said, "So that's the case! It's because my father is more thoughtful!"

Sun Jian smiled, patted Sun Ce's head, and said, "Besides, your father and I have ruled the world for many years, and we have always had revenge."

Sun Ce stopped persuading, and instead asked Sun Jian: "Since father must go, please take me with you, at least I can protect your safety!"

Sun Jian laughed when he heard the words, and then Lao Huai said comfortingly: "That's right! My son is no less brave than my Sun Wentai, so you will follow me and be a personal bodyguard!"

"Baby takes orders!" Sun Ce hurriedly clasped his fists and agreed.

Sun Jian took Sun Ce with him, together with Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and other generals, led 5000 troops, and went straight to Fancheng!
Huang Zu of the Jingzhou Army had found out Sun Jian's movements in advance.

He ambushed his crossbowmen by the river, and when he saw Sun Jian's warship approaching the shore, he ordered a volley of arrows to be fired.

Sun Jian and others hid in the boat and waited for Huang Zu's archers to shoot their arrows before they landed.

Huang Zu saw that he could not prevent Sun Jian from landing, so he decisively led the army back to the camp, intending to hold the camp to the death.

After Sun Jian's army landed, Chen Pu and Huang Gai split into two groups and charged towards Huang Zu's camp.

Han Dang led his troops to attack from behind Huang Zu's Dazhai. Under the attack from three sides, Huang Zu couldn't look at each other and was defeated. He gave up Fancheng and fled into Dengcheng.

After Sun Jian defeated Huang Zu, he ordered Huang Gai to guard the ships and lead his troops to pursue them.

Sun Jian rushed to the city of Deng, but Huang Zu did not choose to retreat, but led his troops out of the city to fight.

Before the formation of the two armies, Huang Zu sent his lieutenant general Zhang Hu to challenge, and Han Dang under Sun Jian's command came out to fight Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu was originally a traitor in Jiangxia, but later Liu Biao sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to surrender him, and they have been under Huang Zu's command to guard Jiangxia together.

Zhang Hu also has some courage, and it took about [-] rounds to fight Han Dang before he began to show his defeat.

Another general under Huang Zu, Chen Sheng, and Zhang Hu are good friends, now that Chen Sheng saw that Zhang Hu was about to lose, he decided to help.

Sun Ce, who was beside Sun Jian, saw another general rushing out of Huang Zu's formation, and even wanted to besiege Han Dang two-on-one.

Sun Ce, disdainful in his heart, immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow, which killed Chen Sheng!

Zhang Hu suddenly heard the sound of the bowstring, and then heard the sound of Chen Sheng falling from the horse. At the moment when he was distracted by panic, Han Dang finally took the opportunity and chopped him down.

Huang Zu defeated two generals in a row, the morale of the army plummeted, and the formation was chaotic.

Seeing this, Sun Jian immediately ordered Cheng Pu to lead his troops to directly attack Huang Zu's army.

Unable to resist, Huang Zu was killed by Sun Jian's army and threw his helmet and horse. In the end, he managed to escape with his life by mingling with the deserters.

And Sun Jian didn't know what it means to accept it when he sees a good one. He chased after the victory all the way, chasing and killing the defeated army, all the way to Hanshui.

After Huang Zu escaped by chance, he ran across the river to meet Liu Biao, and bluntly said that Sun Jian descended like a tiger, unstoppable.

Liu Biao saw Huang Zu's body was wounded and embarrassed, and his heart was filled with fear of Sun Jian's bravery.

In a panic, he had no choice but to send someone to find Kuai Liang to discuss how to deal with Sun Jian.

Kuai Liangjian said: "Sun Jian has a winning streak, and his soldiers are sharp and unstoppable. We can defend Xiangyang first to avoid its edge. Then we send people to Yuan Shao to send reinforcements, and Sun Jian's threat can be eliminated."

But Cai Hao objected: "Sun Jian's troops are approaching the city, so if he can't hold on, isn't it just waiting to die? Besides, Yuan Shao is too far away from us. Waiting for him to send troops, don't you know that it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?"

After finishing speaking, Cai Mao turned to Liu Biao and said, "My lord, please allow me to lead my troops out of the city to fight Sun Jianjian to the death!"

Liu Biao vacillated, but finally chose Cai Mao's plan, ordering Cai Mao to lead [-] troops out of Xiangyang City, and set up an army in Xianshan to fight against Sun Jianjian.

In the Battle of Xianshan, Sun Jian drove straight in and confronted Cai Mao.

Cheng Pu held out his iron ridge spear and challenged Cai Mao single-handedly. In less than a few rounds, Cai Mao was defeated and fled in embarrassment.

Sun Jian took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, killing corpses all over the field, and killing the Jingzhou army defeated!

Cai Mao was defeated and fled back to Xiangyang.

Sun Jian took the opportunity to divide his troops into four groups and besieged Xiangyang from all sides.

After holding on for two days, Kuai Liang realized that going on like this was not an option, so he once again suggested that Liu Biao send someone to break through and seek Yuan Shao's support.

This time, Liu Biao adopted Kuai Liang's suggestion and sent his general Lu Gong to break out of the siege to find support.

Before Lu Gong left, Kuai Liang secretly said to Lu Gong: "Sun Jian's troops are not many, and now he is besieging from all sides. You should lead people to rush out from the south gate and go straight to Xianshan.

When Sun Jian sees you breaking out of the encirclement, he will lead his troops to chase you down.

At this time, you can send three hundred men who are good at shooting up the mountain and prepare big stones.

Once Sun Jian leads his troops to chase after him, you can launch an offensive with bows and arrows and boulders at the same time!
If you win, you will set fire to it as a signal, but I will persuade the lord to let the city soldiers rush out to meet you.

If Sun Jian doesn't pursue the troops, you can directly seek Yuan Shao's support. "

After listening intently, Lu Gong kept Kuai Liang's words firmly in his heart, clasped his fists and said: "Mr., I have written down your plan!"

Kuai Liang nodded and said, "It's not too late, you can set off when the sky gets dark!"

"Here!"

At dusk, the sky gradually darkened.

Lu Gong quietly opened the south gate, led 500 troops out of the city, and suddenly attacked.

Since Sun Jianjun was mostly resting at this time, Lu Gong rushed out suddenly, and Sun Jianjun had no time to react, and they rushed out of the tight encirclement.

Sun Jian learned that a group of troops ran out of Xiangyang City and did not call anyone. He only brought a hundred or so personal guards and went to chase after him, but he didn't know that Lu Gong had already set up an ambush under Xianshan Mountain according to his plan.

Sun Jian's horse was fast, gradually leaving the guards behind during the pursuit, and it became his single-handed pursuit.

Duke Lu's men led Sun Jian into the ambush area, when suddenly there was a sound of a gong, and the rocks rolled down from the mountain disturbed Sun Jian's mount.

At this time, arrows were fired in disorder on the mountain again, Sun Jian's war horse was out of control, and he was caught off guard, and immediately he and his horse were shot into hedgehogs!

Sun Jian is only 37 years old!
After Sun Jian died, Lu Gong intercepted and killed Sun Jian's personal guards, and at the same time set fire to send a signal to Xiangyang City.

Kuai Liang got the signal, and immediately called Huang Zu and Cai Mao, and ordered them to split up and lead the troops out, and the Jiangdong armies were defeated immediately!

Huang Gai, who was guarding the boat on the Hanshui River, saw that Xiangyang was on fire, and knew something had changed, so he led his troops to Xiangyang to help in the battle.

Unexpectedly, Huang Gai happened to meet Huang Zu. After the two sides fought, Huang Zu was captured alive by Huang Gai.
Cheng Pu protected Sun Ce and rushed out, but happened to meet Lu Gong.

Lu Gong had just made a great achievement, and it was the time when the spring breeze was in full swing, but he didn't want Sun Ce to shoot out, and within a round, he nailed Lu Gong to the ground!
The two armies fought until dawn, and then they retreated.

When Sun Ce returned to Hanshui, he learned that Sun Jian had been shot to death by random arrows and his body was carried into the city by Liu Biao's soldiers.

When Sun Ce heard the words, he burst into tears, and the whole Jiangdong army also burst into tears.

Sun Ce said, "Father's body is still in Liu Biao's hands, how can we go home!"

Huang Gai said at this time: "My lord, I have captured Huang Zu alive, so I can exchange Huang Zu for my lord's body."

Hearing this, Sun Ce sent envoys to make peace with Liu Biao, and exchanged Huang Zu for Sun Jian's body smoothly.

But Liu Biao still did not let Sun Ce go back to Jiangdong.

Returning in a big defeat, with food and grass running out, Sun Ce had no choice but to go back to look for Yuan Shu.

So far, Sun Jian's old troops have all belonged to Yuan Shu.
