The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Sun Jian's messenger, Xun Zhen knew, was Sun Jian's descendant Sun Hao.

Sun Hao's father, Sun Jing, is Sun Jian's younger brother. After Sun Jian's actions, Sun Jing gathered five or six hundred people from the township and clan to defend himself in the Wubao in his hometown, and many villagers were attached. Among Sun Jing's children, Sun Hao is the oldest. He is in his twenties this year, when he is young and eager to achieve success. Therefore, instead of following his father in his hometown, he voted for Sun Jian. Sun Jian now uses him as the Sima of other ministries.

Just like Cao Cao and Xun Zhen's army had many sons and nephews from the Cao family and Xun's family, Sun Jian's army also had half of Sun Jian's sons, nephews and in-laws.

For example, Sun Ben was the eldest son of Sun Jian’s co-brother Sun Qiang. When Sun Jian raised the righteous soldiers in Changsha, Sun Ben was the postmaster general of the county governor.

Such as Sun Fu, the younger brother of Sun Ben. For example, Sun Xiang, the son of Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Ru, was also a county official earlier, and served as the chief clerk and meritorious officer in the county. Since Sun Jian, he has also made numerous contributions. Another example is Wu Jing, one of Sun Jian's arms, who is Sun Jian's brother-in-law, Hong Zi, Sun Jian's son-in-law, and Xu Kun, Sun Jian's nephew.

In addition to the other talents who are not as good as Sun Hao, Sun Ben and others, there are no less than thirty or twenty children of the Sun family who are currently in charge of the army, the army governor, and the counselor in Sun Jian's department. Sincerity can be said to be all over Sun Jian's army.

This is not Sun Jian's cronyism. After all, Cao Cao and Xun Zhen are also like this. This is closely related to the background of the times.

In the current chaos in the sea, and a group of heroes are competing, almost every state and county has tyrannical powers, there are separatist forces, and at the same time, the scholars all over the country have a strong sense of territory, unless the leader of a separatist force in another place does have a hero. They will not easily surrender to the subordinates of strong men in other places. Even if they have to compromise temporarily due to reasons such as being captured or lost, they may betray and leave sooner or later, or they may not be able to work hard. If you encounter setbacks, you will switch to other soldiers and horses. As the leader of an army, you can trust and use them with confidence. Only people from your own family, or people from the same town or county.

As a matter of fact, all the separatist forces in Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, including the states in the south of the Yangtze River, are actually political groups formed by families and scholars from certain or certain places.

Not to mention family members, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, the main members of his account are scholars from Yuzhou and Jizhou; Cao Cao of Yanzhou, his generals and advisors are basically from Yanzhou; Sun Jian of Yuzhou, his generals are mostly Yangzhou people; Xuzhou Xunzhen There are many sources of his vassals, including Xu, Ji, Yan, Yang and other prefectures, but that is because he used to be the chief official of the county and state in Jizhou, and now he is the prefect of Xuzhou, so Jizhou, Xuzhou and In Yan and Yang states adjacent to Ji and Xu, there were many scholars who served him, but at the root, the backbone of Xunzhen's vassals were still from Yuzhou, headed by scholars from Yingchuan.

Not to mention these off-topic remarks, let's say that Sun Hao came from Yuzhou to meet Xunzhen in Changyi city.

Sun Hao presented Sun Jian's letter.

Xun Zhen watched him, and there were no words in the letter, only greetings.

Inside the letterbox, besides Sun Jian's letterhead, there was a roll of silk cloth.

Xun Zhen opened it to look, and immediately recognized that the handwriting was written by Sun Ce.

Most of the front part of the silk cloth is written with personal understanding of the art of war; the small part at the back is a letter written by Sun Ce to Xun Zhen. Through the words and sentences, one can read the admiration and admiration of a junior for a teacher and an elder. Feelings.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Not only has my understanding of the art of war improved, but Bo Fu's calligraphy is also slightly better than before. It is difficult for him to practice calligraphy and learn calligraphy in the military."

Sun Hao replied: "Bofu often said to my brothers, and the general taught him: the word is the face of a person, it is human nature to like beautiful things, not ugly things; It is not possible to visit every scholar in person. At this time, the best way is to write letters to communicate with them. If the characters are not good, no matter how talented or beautiful the person is, because they do not meet face to face, then they may meet. Because of the ugly words, the other party despised himself.

"Bo Fuyin used his pen to practice calligraphy whenever he was free from military affairs."

Xun Zhen nodded and said, "That's how it should be." She asked, "How is Zhongmou?"

Zhongmou was Sun Quan. Bofu and Zhongmou, these two characters were all given to Sun Ce and Sun Quan by Xun Zhen.

Sun Hao replied, "Zhongmou fell ill a few days ago, but he is fine and has recovered."

Xun Zhen asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

It's not a serious illness, it's just a little cold. Sun Hao answered truthfully.

Xun Zhen listened and said: "In the war, the dead are not buried everywhere. In this situation, you need to pay special attention to the epidemic. After you go back, report it to the Wentai, and you must strictly order the county and county, and recruit people to bury the dead. If there are not enough manpower to bury them all, they should be gathered and burned, and after the burning, they should be sprinkled with lime and other objects to prevent epidemics.”

Sun Hao replied, "Yes."

There was nothing in Sun Jian's letter, and Xun Zhen knew that it must be because Sun Jian was worried that Sun Hao would be captured by bandits or Cao Jun, and the secret would be leaked. What's the matter? You can talk to me."

Sun Hao looked around the hall.

Xi Zhicai, Xun You and others in the hall were all Xun Zhen's confidants, so Sun Hao did not ask Xun Zhen to step back.

Sun Hao said: "The general hangs the people to slay the people, conquers the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou, and is invincible. My uncle is very happy when he hears about it; however, when he hears that Caodong County has rashly raised his sword and soldiers, trying to prevent the general from saving the Yan people, he is rebellious and cowardly, and my uncle also does it. I am indignant. Now the general and Cao Dongjun are fighting against Changyi and Cheng. I heard that although Caodongjun has suffered repeated defeats, there are still tens of thousands of troops and there are Chenliu and Dongjun who can help him. Therefore, Hao was sent to visit the general. Just to ask, do the generals need the help of my Yuzhou troops?"

Xi Zhicai, Xun You, etc., who were seated on both sides, looked at each other.

Xun Zhen said, "Yuan Shu used Lu Bu to invade Runan. Lu Bu and Xiao generals are not easy to deal with. Does Wentai still have spare power to help me?"

Long before Xun Zhen joined Yan, Sun Jian offered to help. At that time, Xun Zhen thought that Sun Jian probably didn't have the energy to help him because of Lu Bu's problems, so he declined him.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Sun Jian offered to help Xun Zhen again.

Sun Hao said: "Lü Bu invaded Runan before, and General Duo Lai sent General Xu and others into Yuchi to help him because of the elite soldiers, and they fought against them several times and repulsed them; before, my uncle returned from Hanoi and attacked Lü Bu personally. There is no great victory, but our army is now deploying defenses along the Yanshui River, and Lü Bu has become a turtle! My uncle said that as long as the general needs it, my Yuzhou soldiers can immediately leave Liang and attack the south of Jiyin."

Before Sun Jian sent troops to attack Hanoi, Yuan Shu sent Lü Bu to attack Runan. The situation in Yuzhou was in critical condition. Xun Zhen sent General Xu Xian, Zhang Fei, Xun Pu, and Xun Min to help Yuzhou. Xu Xian and Sun Ce used troops in two ways, and fought several vicious battles with Lü Bu. In the end, they finally managed to save the county government of Runan County, and got Li Tong to join Xun Zhen. After the war, Xu Xian was recalled by Xun Zhen, and Xun Zhen also represented Li Tong as Yangwei Zhonglang General and Xun Min as Rulin Commander. Originally, Li Tong, Zhang Fei, Xun Pu, and Xun Min were kept in Ruyin County. Soon after, before the war against Yan, Xun Zhen recalled Zhang Fei and Xun Pu, and now Li Tong and Xun Min are still leading troops to guard Ruyin.

Lu Bu attacked Runan when Sun Jian was not there.

Sun Jian is a world tiger general with a strong nature. How can he tolerate others sleeping on the side of his couch after returning from Hanoi? When it was convenient, he took the initiative to attack Lu Bu.

However, Lu Bu was indeed able to fight, and Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals under his command were all good at fighting, but Sun Jian did not gain too much advantage. It is still under the control of Lu Bu.

But then again, since Sun Jian had returned to Yuzhou, no matter how fierce Lu Bu was, Yuzhou would not be afraid of him.

This is one reason why Sun Jian was willing and able to assist Xun Zhen and Cao Cao in their struggle for Jiyin.

Another reason is related to the interests of Yuzhou.

Yuzhou is bordered by Yanzhou in the north, Jingzhou in the south, and Sili School Commander in the west, and there is a lack of natural dangers between it and Yan, Jing, and Sili School Headquarters.

At the moment, Yuan Shu of Jingzhou used Lü Bu to occupy the half of Runan County, and there was an enemy in the north.

In order to improve Yuzhou's strategic environment and expand its depth, although Sun Jian laid a part of Hanoi, he was unable to occupy all the banks of the Yellow River in Hanoi County. In fact, the improvement of the strategic environment in the west of Yuzhou was limited.

Chenliu County, Jiyin County, and Shanyang County bordering Yuzhou in the north are all major counties in Yanzhou. will fall into a situation where the enemy is on the verge of death.

That's a three-way rivalry.

Moreover, Cao Cao in the north, Yuan Shu and Lü Bu in the south, and Hanoi in the west were Yuan Shao, and they were all powerful enemies on three sides.

Every time he thought about it, Sun Jian felt uneasy.

Therefore, when Xun Zhen fought against Yanzhou this time, Sun Jian had been closely watching the battle between Xu and Yan from the day he received the military report. After Shanyang was captured by Xunzhen, Xunzhen advanced to Changyi, and the news of Cao Cao's confrontation with Yu Changyi and Cheng's clan reached Yuzhou, Sun Jian, after repeated consideration and several discussions with his advisors and generals, finally reached the conclusion of the battle. A decision was made to help Xun Zhen.

This is what he thought: If you can help Xunzhen defeat Cao Cao and lay down Jiyin, then the border between Yuzhou and Yanzhou will only be left in Chenliu County. The threat is almost negligible.

In this way, after solving the security problem of the strategic environment in the north of Yuzhou, he can go all out to attack Lu Bu in the south, take back the entire county of Runan, and use troops in Hanoi depending on the situation~www.readwn.com~ to firmly grasp the Yellow River. In this way, with the ally Xun Zhen in the north and east, and the Yellow River in the west or southwest, the overall environment of Yuzhou can be changed very well.

Nanyang County, which borders Yingchuan County, has a large population and a wealth of people. Sun Jian's next plan is to attack Nanyang and start a war with Yuan Shu. As long as Nanyang can be captured, most of Sun Jian's subordinates are southerners, familiar with and accustomed to the weather and terrain in the south.

He started with the three states of Yu, Jing, and Yang, plus Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou, which is equivalent to the area south and east of the Yellow River. It is under the control of him and Xun Zhen. Zhenhe soldiers, probably will be able to fight against the Yellow River with Yuan Shao and others.

But it is said that although Sun Jian was despised by scholars and officials, and considered by those high-ranking scholars and celebrities to be just a warrior, but Sun Jian was a hero for a while, and he naturally has his understanding and opinion of the general trend today, and the future development of Yuzhou, He is also opinionated.

Xun Zhen could guess Sun Jian's thoughts and why he offered to help Xuzhou twice and attack Yanzhou.

After hearing Sun Hao's retelling of Sun Jian's words, Xun Zhen pondered for a while before making a decision.

He said to Sun Hao, "If Wentai can help me if it has spare strength, then of course it would be the best."

Agreed to Sun Jian's request.
