The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 131 The Tiger General Falls
After Zhou Tai reported Kuai Yuelai's lobbying to Chengdu, he planned to let Zhou Tai keep intimidating Jingzhou until the battle between Liu Biao and Yuan Shu reached a stalemate, but Guo Jia suddenly asked Zhou Tai to withdraw directly.

Since Kuai Yue proposed to express his sincerity by donating grain and grass, Guo Jia simply showed his sincerity. If Zhou Tai continued to intimidate Liu Biao in Jianping County, he would always be suspected of taking advantage of the fire. As for whether Liu Biao would obediently send the grain and grass, Guo Jia would not He is very concerned, Kuai Yue can persuade Liu Biao to send grain and grass, Guo Jia can earn military supplies in vain, Kuai Yue cannot persuade Liu Biao, what is evil is Liu Biao's prestige, in the future when he attacks Jingzhou, Guo Jia can also use today's events as an excuse.

After returning to Xiangyang, Kuai Yue was highly praised by Liu Biao, who said that he was as eloquent as a eloquent tongue, and that one person was comparable to a hundred thousand soldiers.

But when Kuai Yue saw Zhou Tai's sudden withdrawal, he realized that Guo Jia had no intention of attacking Jingzhou from the beginning to the end. This guess was confirmed after Zhou Tai's lightning-like retreat, but Kuai Yue I'm not surprised either. As for persuading Liu Biao to donate food to Guo Jia after repelling Yuan, Kuai Yue never thought of breaking his promise. .

Besides, Gu Xiaoli is the cripple of big profits.In the future, Jingzhou will definitely be a place coveted by all kinds of heroes, and no one can be given a handle, even if it is only verbally.

Zhou Tai withdrew, but Yuan Shu's troops had already begun to move southward, heading straight for Xiangyang.

With the experience of defeating Guo Jia last year, the counselors in Jingzhou planned to repeat the old tricks. The strategy of arrogant soldiers and the strategy of luring the enemy can be described as tried and tested.

Sun Jian, who commanded an army of [-], descended the mountain like a tiger, and his power was unstoppable. Huang Zu, the general Liu Biao sent to the front to resist Sun Jian, retreated steadily and had no power to fight back. Sun Jian was about to come to Xiangyang soon.

It took Sun Jian less than ten days from leading the army to attacking the city of Xiangyang. Yuan Shu was overjoyed and even started preparing to move the government office to the city of Xiangyang.

According to Sun Jian's marching speed, he will be able to arrive at the city of Xiangyang at sunset tomorrow, camp in the wild for a short rest, and plan to take Xiangyang the next day after resting overnight.

After arranging military affairs in the barracks, Sun Jian remembered that Sun Ce had been listless for several days, so he walked towards Sun Ce's tent.

Although Sun Ce is only 17 years old this year, he has long been in charge of fighting with his father in the South and North, and he is also deeply loved by Yuan Shu. Worship, even the veteran elders under Sun Jian's command are convinced by Sun Ce. This charm alone is very rare.

Walking into the big tent where Sun Ce was resting, Sun Jian couldn't help frowning, because he could smell the strong smell of alcohol outside the tent. When he came in, he saw that Sun Ce was lying on the table, holding the wine jar and drinking directly, his expression was sluggish. Sluggish, obviously using alcohol to drown his sorrows.

"Bo Fu! How dare you disobey the military order! In the barracks, as a general, how can you take the lead in drinking in disregard of military discipline?" Sun Jian rushed to the table, glaring at Sun Ce.

However, Sun Ce, who was already drunk, was grabbed by the collar by Sun Jian and only raised his head. He dimly realized his father Sun Jian, squeezed out a frivolous smile, and said in a nonchalant tone:
"Father? Hehe, hehehe, the child is convicted, so he will not drink alcohol in the future, but, hehe, father, it is a mistake that the child can correct, but can the father change the way for the child to go?"

Sun Jian looked stunned and asked, "How do you say that? Do you think that your father led you astray?"

Sun Ce, whose collar was loosened, fell down on the seat, hugged the wine jar and took another sip, wiped the drink from his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Why do you want to stay under Yuan Shu's tent when you are a father? Son of the Sun family, Lang Wu There are strategies, literary power, and countless young children are all handsome in the world, but my grandson family can only expand the territory for Yuan Shu and help him achieve hegemony. Can it accommodate my peerless Sun family?"

These words made Sun Jian's expression change drastically. He raised his arm and wanted to slap Sun Ce to wake him up, but he couldn't wave his raised hand. The low table sat down.

Knowing a son is like a father, Sun Jian knew that Sun Ce was dissatisfied with being under the fence of others, but Sun Jian couldn't help himself.

"Bo Fu, my father knows that you are proud and arrogant, but the Sun family has a meager background and is no match for those princes. If my father could establish a foundation in Jingzhou back then, he might be able to achieve hegemony, but...now in Yuan Gonglu I feel unwilling to work under the tent for my father, but only in this way can I lead the Sun family to a high position, you can rest assured that as long as you help Yuan Gonglu achieve supremacy for your father, the Sun family will be as prominent as the Yuan family today."

After the painful lesson in Jingzhou, Sun Jian deeply realized that he is not a hero, but as a military commander is the stage for him to display his expertise. He is good at fighting, but he doesn't know strategy. In terms of force, even ten Yuan Shu can't beat him alone He, but some people support Yuan Shu and look down on him, is it just because of his family background?I'm afraid not necessarily.

So Sun Jian also gave up the idea of ​​self-reliance.

But the young Sun Ce did not agree with his father. He suddenly raised his neck while drunk, and even stared at his father with red eyes with a disrespectful expression.

"Why? Even Guo Jia, a weak scholar, can take over Yizhou's self-reliance. Is my father not as good as him? Guo Jia was defeated in Jingzhou, and now his father is leading the soldiers. Who can stop him? Sun Can the family only be Yuan Gonglu’s pawn? I, Sun Ce, refuse to accept it! I will never accept it! All the princes in the Kwantung are afraid of Dong Zhuo, only my father is not afraid. After entering Luoyang alone, I got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. Instructions! Isn’t that enough to explain God’s will? If father really wants to do his best for Yuan Gonglu, why didn’t he dedicate the jade seal to Yuan Gonggong?”

Facing Sun Ce who was roaring like a beast, Sun Jian's face was dull.

"So, you still remember that slap. Bo Fu, you are still young, and you will understand many things in the future."

Sun Jian got up and gave a wry smile a little lonely.

Sun Ce lay on his back, with a teardrop slowly falling from his closed eyes, and his clenched fist did not let go even in his drunken dream.

Walking out of the camp and looking up at the waning moon, Sun Jian was restless, very bitter and complicated.

It is true that he obtained the Chuanguo Yuxi in Luoyang, which is why he has been reluctant to lead the army back to Nanyang. He wants to rescue the emperor, and then send the Yuxi.

If he refused to give it to Yuan Shu, it was because the time had not come. Although the strength of the Han Dynasty was declining, it was far from the end. As long as the Han Dynasty survived, he could not easily give the jade seal to Yuan Shu, otherwise he would be a sinner.

After drinking, Sun Ce uttered the truth, and passed the long-repressed words into Sun Jian's ears. Sun Jian was heartbroken. He also wanted to give Sun Ce a stage, but there were not many choices in front of him.

If the Han Dynasty can overcome this difficulty, Sun Jian can exchange the jade seal for glory. If the Han Dynasty perishes, Sun Jian has no room to stand on his own and can only live in the tents of the princes. Yuan Shu treats him well, where else can he go?In Yuan Shu's place, he is a general respected by everyone in the army. If he goes to another prince's tent, can he still get such treatment?Looking at the world at this time, the only ones who can rival Yuan Shu's power are Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others. Can Sun Jian change his family?What's the difference?

After a sleepless night, Sun Jian's eyelids twitched slightly when he walked out of the big tent in the morning, feeling restless. Sun Ce's words lingered in his mind for a long time, making him lose his mind several times.

"The Major General hasn't got up yet, this..." Huang Gai was cautious when reporting the news to Sun Jian, because he was worried that Sun Jian would be angry.

Sun Jian sighed lightly, telling Huang Gai not to disturb Sun Ce's rest. Thinking of the bitterness in his son's heart, Sun Jian loved his son dearly and felt the same way, even more uncomfortable than Sun Ce's heart.

After ordering someone to stay and take care of Sun Ce, Sun Jian led the army to Xiangyang, intending to join him after Sun Ce woke up.

Xiangyang City was right in front of us, and we could arrive there within half a day, but not far from Xiangyang City, we encountered resistance from Huang Zu's army again, and this time, it would be the last line of defense for Xiangyang City.

Sun Jian was famous for his unstoppable bravery, and was deeply loved by the soldiers. The most fundamental reason was that he took the lead in the soldiers. When he attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold, the most offensive place must be the army led by him.

Facing Huang Zu's resistance, Sun Jian took the lead and led his army to kill the enemy.

The battle turned out to be one-sided, Huang Zu was defeated and retreated into Mount Xian.

Sun Jian was absent-minded, and killing the enemy had become a habit. When he saw Huang Zu retreating into the forest, he rode his horse and chased him without thinking.

"My lord, don't chase after me, be careful of deceit." Huang Gai and the others turned pale with fright, but Sun Jian rushed forward, and there was still a long distance away from them. Sun Jian's voice reminded him, but Sun Jian didn't change his mind. Seeing Sun Jian leading the vanguard The troops rushed into Mount Xian to pursue Huang Zu.

After entering Mount Xian, it was hard to find the enemy. He was in the forest, and he was completely silent, and he never heard the chirping of birds. Sun Jian reined in his horse and woke up. surrounded.

The random arrows were fired, and the arrows flew like locusts. Sun Jian couldn't avoid the arrows that came with the cold light.

bang bang

Sun Jian, who was full of arrows, fell from his horse with his back to the sky, and was hit by arrows along with his horse.

Looking at the fiery red sun through the lush forest, Sun Jian's mouth overflowed with blood, and Sun Jian, who had become numb to the pain, said in the last moment of his life: "Bofu, the Sun family, I leave it to you."

Sun Jian was shot!Yuan Shu's entire army was shocked!
Seeing that Xiangyang is about to be defeated, the coach is killed!Yuan Shu's army, with no one in charge of the overall situation, fell into chaos. Huang Zu took advantage of the victory and pursued to win a big victory, but he still wanted to chase and kill them all the way, but he did not expect to be captured alive by Sun Ce who missed the battle.

As the sun was setting, Liu Biao, who was well-dressed above the city of Xiangyang, looked down on the scene outside the city solemnly.

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Sun Ce came alone with the captive Huang Zu, without armor, pushed the bound Huang Zu forward, and knelt down towards Xiangyang City with a firm face and no emotion.

After Huang Zu entered the city, Yi Ji went up to Liu Biao and said in a low voice, "Sun Ce just wants to get back Sun Jian's body."

Liu Biao closed his eyes, sighed, and nodded.

Wrapping the mutilated body of Sun Jian with a straw mat, Sun Ce picked up his father's body, turned around and led the horse away.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the picture of a horse, a man and a corpse is full of desolation and sadness...
