Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

Just when Zhu Jun led his troops to fight and had already reached Xiaopingjin, Xiang Yu, who was waiting far away at Mengjin Pass, also got the news and then ordered the entire Yellow Turban army to go out of the pass to fight a decisive battle with the Han army.

Zhu Jun is not He Jin. His leadership ability is not as good as that of a hundred He Jins put together. When he entered Xiaopingjin, he did not go into battle immediately, but prepared to recuperate for a while.

Zhu Jun did this naturally in order to familiarize himself with the 350,000-strong army and the generals assigned to him by Liu Hong. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one win every battle.

Although he was already familiar with most of these people.

However, Xiang Yu would not give Zhu Jun the time to get familiar with his generals. After receiving the news that Zhu Jun led an army of 350,000 and stationed in Xiaopingjin, he immediately led an army of 50,000 to take the initiative to fight.

Zhu Jun was very puzzled by this, but after analysis by Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai, he immediately understood Xiang Yu's intention.

Xiang Yu took the initiative to fight this time because he took advantage of the fact that Zhu Jun was an airborne general who did not have a good understanding of the strength of his own lineup and could not command the army tacitly, so he adopted this strategy!
Zhu Jun ignored this and concentrated on training his troops. When the time was right, he would go out and fight Xiang Yu.

After all, Wang Yu disobeyed orders this time and secretly led 70,000 cavalry to invade Yanzhou, catching the Yellow Turban Army off guard. As a result, the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou are now unable to take care of themselves and are simply unable to provide large-scale support to Xiang Yu.

In other words, the only army capable of supporting Xiang Yu was the Yellow Turban Army under Hulao Pass. However, with Wang Hong and Wang Jian watching over Hulao Pass, it was not an easy task for Zhang Jue to send troops to support him.

Therefore, Zhu Jun ignored it and concentrated on training the army and getting familiar with the generals assigned to him by Liu Hong so that he could make the best use of them.

During this process, Sun Jian and others had more in-depth exchanges, which made Qin Wen, who had always been eager to seek talents, feel more and more that Cao Cao and Sun Jian were extraordinary. He even mentioned to them privately that he wanted to become brothers in life and death with them.

It can be said that if Wang Yu had not made advance arrangements, making Cao Cao a hidden chess piece under Wang Yu's command, Qin Wen might have really succeeded this time. But unfortunately, because of the butterfly effect brought about by Wang Yu, Qin Wen was ultimately not able to meet Cao Cao.

As for Sun Jian, he is very sorry. The current Qin Wen is far from having the aura of a son. What's more, he has a good relationship with Wang Yu. Even if he wants to curry favor with him, he should curry favor with the future rising star of the Han Dynasty.

On the other side, Xiang Yu, seeing that Zhu Jun did not come out to fight, his face showed a trace of solemnity. After all, if Zhu Jun did not come out, their situation would be awkward.

Xiang Yu did not think that he could capture Xiaopingjin, which had an army of 350,000, with only the 50,000 troops under his command.

So Xiang Yu asked Guo Jia what to do.

Guo Jia was well prepared for this!
Because after he learned that Zhu Jun was the commander-in-chief of the 350,000 Han army, he guessed that he would do this, so he sent someone to convey a message to Zhang Jue in advance, asking him to send troops to support Xiang Yu.

I believe that after learning this news, the Luoyang court will urge Zhu Jun to go out and fight Xiang Yu.

After all, the Yellow Turban Army had only 50,000 men, while the Han Army had 350,000 men. In the eyes of those officials in Luoyang who were just sitting there doing nothing, the Han Army, with a seven-fold advantage in terms of troop strength and led by the famous general Zhu Jun, would be able to defeat Xiang Yu easily.

And so it is.

When the Luoyang court learned that Zhu Jun did not leave Xiaopingjin but stayed inside the pass to continue training his troops, Liu Hong immediately issued an imperial edict urging Zhu Jun to go into battle.

In just three days, three imperial edicts were issued. Now, Zhu Jun had to lead his troops into battle.

When the two armies met on the battlefield, the fighting was extremely fierce, especially the battle between generals, which was extremely exciting.

In terms of military commanders, Xiang Yu's army was absolutely full of fierce generals, including Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Liang, Fang Jie, the second most powerful general of the Yellow Turbans, Wang Bodang, Liu Heita, Wang Renze, Liu Zongmin, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Chu Feiyan, Ming Yuzhen, Yue Neng, Yue Xiaofei, Yue Xiaoliang, etc. Of course, it also included Xiang Yu himself, as well as generals such as Xiang Yuanzhen and Zhang Kai.

The lineup of Han army generals was not inferior to that of the Yellow Turban Army. They included Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Gao Siji, Gao Sixiang and so on.

This battle was earth-shattering, with dozens of generals fighting for life and death, and its excitement was no less than the Battle of Hulao Pass.

At the beginning of the battle, Xiang Yu did not participate, but sent out powerful generals such as Guan Hai and Yue Neng. Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army was at a disadvantage in the early stage of the battle.

After several battles, many generals who left their names in history died at the hands of Han army generals.

Among these people, there are also several balancing figures, such as Shi Ding, Wu Cheng, and Lu Hui, the three generals under Li Mi.

There are also Huang Long, Zhang Yuji and Zhu Quan under Li Zicheng.

Duan Er and Duan Wu, who were led by Yang Xiuqing this time, also died on the battlefield.

…………

After more than a dozen generals died on the battlefield, Xiang Yu finally went into battle and turned the tide. He killed Wu Gongzhi, the Han general who had just made a great contribution by beheading a general.

Afterwards, he killed Bu Boxing, a general under Liu Yao, and some local generals, and was then besieged by Gao Siji, Gao Sixiang, Gao Shunli, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou.

Fortunately, Xiang Yu's skills had just been activated, so the seven of them could still fight back for a while by joining forces.

However, after Xiang Yu showed his true strength, even if the seven people tried their best, they could only end up in a draw with Xiang Yu.

And this is based on the fact that Gao Siji, Gao Sixiang, Gao Shunli, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan and others have combination skill enhancements. Otherwise, they might be killed by Xiang Yu.

Seeing that Gao Siji and his seven men could only hold on with difficulty, Zhu Jun dared not let them fight on. He immediately commanded his army to advance and the two sides went straight to a decisive battle.

Zhu Jun's basic commander not only reached his peak instantly with the end of the Battle of Changsha, but also surpassed his own limit and entered the category of silver commander.

But even with such commanding attributes, it was still a very high test for him to command an army of 350,000.

Fortunately, before leaving Hulao Pass, Zhu Jun specially borrowed the capable Di Qing from Wang Hong to follow him, so that if he encountered any problems, there would be someone to help him solve them.

In fact, it stands to reason that Di Qing is the most suitable person to be the commander-in-chief.

However, he did not have a good background after all. Although he had made great contributions, his qualifications were a big problem. Therefore, only Zhu Jun, who had sufficient qualifications and contributions, could serve as the commander-in-chief of the 350,000 Han army.
