Enlightenment of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 99 The Death of Sun Jian, Liu Biao of Jingzhou

Chen Yong was at a loss when he heard the sad news of Sun Jian's death in battle.It never occurred to him that Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, the generals who had just separated from him, had already died under the arrows!Chen Yong suddenly remembered that in Luoyang City, Sun Jian was forced by the lord Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu. He once swore an oath: "If I get this treasure and hide it privately, I will not die well in the future, and I will die under swords and arrows!"

However, it is a well-known fact that Sun Jian was able to pass on the jade seal of the country in Luoyang City.After all, he was defeated by reality, was backlashed by his own oath, and ended up in a situation where he had no money.When Sun Jian was 37 years old, he led an army to attack Liu Biao in Jingzhou in the battle of Xiangyang, and fought against Huang Zu. After Huang Zu was defeated, he fled to Xianshan.General Sun Jian refused to listen to dissuasion, and when he single-handedly pursued him, he was shot to death by Huang Zu's soldiers and horses!

It was only at this time that Chen Yong learned about Sun Jian's detailed life. He had already known in his early years that when Sun Jian participated in the campaign against Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian did two important things not long after he set up an army, but they had a profound impact on his life.When Sun Jian arrived in Jingzhou, he killed Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou; when he arrived in Nanyang, he killed Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang!These two things made it more difficult for him to integrate into the family.

This Wang Rui and Sun Jian had pacified Lingling and Guiyang together, so they were old acquaintances.Because Sun Jian was a military general, Wang Rui's speech often showed contempt.Sun Jian had long been dissatisfied with this.Wang Rui couldn't get along with Cao Yin, the prefect of Wuling, and was calculated by Cao Yin. He secretly used tricks and made a letter of appeal to Sun Jian and Sun Wentai.

When raising troops to attack Dong Zhuo this time, Wang Rui once declared that he would kill Cao Yin first.Cao Yin was afraid of being killed, so he pretended to be the executor of the case, Guanglu doctor Wen Yi, and sent it to Sun Jian.The call to action counted Wang Rui's crimes and ordered Sun Jian to execute him.After Sun Jian received the proclamation, he immediately raised his troops to attack Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou!

When Wang Rui heard that there were troops coming, he went up to the tower to watch, and sent someone to inquire about the purpose of these soldiers coming here.Sun Jian's front replied: "We have been traveling for a long time. We have worked so hard, and the rewards we got are not enough to make clothes! This time I came to Jingzhou to look for you, but I just want to ask for your kindness and give me more money."

The governor of Jingzhou, Wang Rui, believed it was true, so he went to the front, looked at the officers and soldiers under the city and said, "Then what is so difficult about what you are asking for? As the governor of Jingzhou, how can I still be stingy with these money and grains? Clothes? As long as you are willing to submit to me, I will naturally meet your needs for money and clothing."

All the officers and soldiers under the city shouted: "We are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender! But how can you guarantee that you Jingzhou Governor Wang Rui will give us all the benefits we deserve? Don't turn your face and deny people! !"

Wang Rui, governor of Jingzhou, sent an order to open the treasury and let the soldiers go in by themselves, to see if there was anything else that could be used, and he scattered all of them to everyone.When the incoming soldiers poured into the city gate and came downstairs, Wang Rui found Sun Jian in the crowd.

He was taken aback, Wang Rui hurriedly asked: "The soldiers have come to ask for rewards, why is Mr. Sun here? What are you going to do?"

Sun Jian laughed loudly and said, "I am here to take your head in order to take your head! Today, you can easily enter the city and come before you Jingzhou governor Wang Rui. You can use whatever means you can." Bar!"

Wang Rui asked again: "Since you want to kill me, let me know! What crime did I commit? Can you tell me the details in person?"

But Sun Jian replied: "I don't know either! I only know that I want to arrest you and bring you to justice according to the official document! It's just waiting for me to send you!" Then Wang Rui knew that he was desperate, so he scraped gold upstairs and drank it. To die is to not want to be caught by Sun Jian's men and humiliated again.It's not as good as this, swallowing gold and dying, it's all over.

After Sun Jian forced Wang Rui to be killed, he led his troops to Nanyang.At this time, Sun Jian had limited troops and could not meet the conditions of dividing and conquering, so he had to lead all his family property to go out to beg for thieves, so as to get his own money and food.Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he ignored him at first.

Sun Jian sent an official document to Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, asking him to supply the army rations.At that time, Sun Jian had tens of thousands of people under his command, so Yuan Shu also made a request to make Sun Jian a fake Zhonglang general.Zhang Zi asked his subordinates how to treat them.The subordinates said: "Sun Jian is just a prefect of a neighboring county, he has no right to transfer our rations. If we give it this time, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with him if he keeps disturbing us in the future."

Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, thought it was reasonable, so he ignored Sun Jian's matter.But he didn't know that Sun Jian at this time had already become almost violent and demonized.He always thinks that his trip is to save the common people in the world, and he should ask you to get some for food and drink.If you dare not give it to me, don't blame me for being rude!

After arriving in Nanyang, Sun Wentai went to visit Zhang Zi with a gift of cattle and wine, and Zhang Zi had to come to thank him the next day.Sun Jian hosted a banquet, and when the wine was half drunk, Sun Jian's master secretary came in and reported: "There was a document sent to the Nanyang prefect, but the road has not been repaired, and the military has not yet prepared enough money and food. Please arrest him and hand it over to the master. Ask me to understand!"

The Nanyang prefect Zhang Zi saw that the momentum was not good, so he wanted to leave angrily.But there were already soldiers all around, and he had nowhere to go.After a while, the master came in again and asked Sun Jian for instructions: "The governor of Nanyang stopped the volunteer soldiers and made the bandits want to beg you from time to time. Please accept Zhang Zi so that we can follow the military law!"

As he was speaking, the lord Bo ordered his subordinates to push Nanyang prefect Zhang Zi out of the military gate and behead him for public display. !The officials in the Nanyang County Mansion were greatly shocked. None of them thought that Sun Jian's army and horses would dare to do such a thing and kill the imperial court official.From then on, Sun Jian's troops got what they wanted, and no one dared not give it.

But if Sun Jian behaved like this, who would seek advice from him?No matter whether it is the aristocratic family in Jingzhou or the wealthy family in Nanyang, none of them are willing to work with Sun Jian.At this time, Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, knowing that Wang Rui was killed by Sun Jian, sent Liu Biao to succeed him as the governor of Jingzhou.At this time, Sun Jian just led his army to attack and came to Nanyang. He was going all out to take Nanyang.

It was also because of this that Liu Biao rode alone and entered Yicheng, the largest city in the north of Nanjun County, and conspired with the powerful families such as Kuailiang and Kuaiyue from Zhonglu County, and Cai Mao from Xiangyang.Liu Biao used his world-renowned "eight handsome men" to successfully gather this group of powerful families in Jingzhou.And through marriage, he married Cai Mao's sister, and quickly became a family with the wealthy family in Jingzhou!

Liu Biao asked, "There are many thieves here, and the people are not attached to them. Yuan Shu caused chaos. Now the disaster has come! I hope to recruit troops here, but I'm afraid they won't be able to gather. What do you generals do?"

Kuai Yue said: "Those who govern peace put benevolence and righteousness first, and those who govern chaos put power and strategy first. There are not many soldiers, but those who can win them. Yuan Shu is brave and unstoppable. Su Dai and Bei Yu are both brave warriors, and they are not enough Worry. The leader of the sect bandit is greedy and violent, and he is worried about his subordinates. I have some people who are usually well-educated. If I send them to show them to benefit, the bandit leader will definitely come with the crowd.

The envoys will punish those who have no way, and then caress and use them.People in such a state are willing to stay in this state. Knowing that the envoy is a virtuous man, he will definitely help the old and the weak.Then the soldiers will be assembled and attached to Jiangling in the south, Xiangyang in the north, and the eight counties of Jingzhou can be passed down.Even though Yuan Shu and the others arrived, there was nothing they could do. "

Liu Biao thought it was a trick, so he asked Kuai Yue to send someone to invite the Zong thieves to the banquet.Those thieves thought that the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune had come, but no one thought that Kuai Yue said well that the new governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao, was at the time of employing people. If you surrender now, you can all get promoted and get rich. No chance.

What is the vision of these thieves?They are also afraid that if someone else arrives first and the official position is higher than themselves, they will lose money?So everyone flocked to follow Kuai Yue to Liu Biao, and began to brag that they could do nothing.When Liu Biao saw that these thieves were full of wine bags and rice bags, he invited all the thieves to drink and have fun together, and soon they were all drunk.Liu Biao sent an order to kill them all, and captured their tribes together, and took them all under his command.

For Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng and others who were guarding Xiangyang, Liu Biao sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to ride alone to surrender.Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng and others were even more afraid of Sun Jian, fearing that this person would attack him and his subordinates again, so they surrendered happily.So far, Liu Biao has controlled the seven counties of Jingzhou except Nanyang County!

This is Sun Jian leading the way, and Liu Biao picking the fruits behind.With his perfect tongue, Liu Biao took over the seven counties of Jingxiang without a single soldier.This Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng was originally a Han Dynasty clan relative, and he was from Gaoping, Shanyang.After Liu Yu, King Lu Gong of the Western Han Dynasty.Liu Biao was more than eight feet long, with a gentle and majestic appearance. He was well-known in the world when he was young.

The seven people are: Runan Chen Xiang, styled Zhonglin; Tongjun Fan Pang, styled Mengbo; Lu State Kong Yu, styled Shiyuan; Bohai Fankang, styled Zhongzhen, Shanyang Tanfu, styled Wenyou; Tongjun Zhang Jian, styled Yuanjie; Nanyang Cen, styled Gongxiao.Liu Biao and these seven people were friends, and they were called "Jiangxia Eight Talents".

Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng took great pleasure in regaining the territory in Jingxiang.At this time, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai took down Nanyang County, and he was about to take it for his own use!However, under the control of Dong Zhuo, the imperial court appointed Yuan Shu as the prefect of Nanyang, hoping that Sun Jian would fight with Yuan Shu and Liu Biao instead of attacking Luoyang.For Dong Zhuo, as long as these princes don't come to serve the king, they can do whatever they like outside.

Sun Jian led his troops forward, arrived at Luyang, and met Yuan Shu.Yuan Shu then joined forces with Sun Jian, and played him as the general of Polu and the governor of Yuzhou. Therefore, Sun Jian rested his troops in Luyang, reorganized his troops, and prepared to march against Dong Zhuo.In Sun Jian's view, as long as he wins Dong Zhuo, who else is his opponent in this world?And the position of governor of Yuzhou allows him to fight freely on the land of the Central Plains without any scruples!

But after Sun Jian worked hard to win the Sishui Pass, entered Luoyang, and got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in the palace, he found out.I have been fighting all the way, beheading several people, until the end I have been making wedding dresses for others!There is not a piece of territory that he actually controls.This governor of Yuzhou sounds bluffing, but the hinterland of the Central Plains is a place where everyone wants to get their hands on it.

If you want to develop here by yourself, it will not work at all.Coupled with the fact that Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, the leader of the alliance, were thinking about the Jade Seal that he had just obtained, Sun Jian knew that no matter how brave he was, he couldn't match him.Sun Jian then decided that returning to Jingxiang first and regaining his lost ground was the fundamental.Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu in Nanyang have strong soldiers and horses, and thousands of generals. He really can't afford to provoke him.

So Sun Jian led his army and horses all the way to the land of Jingxiang, but Kuai Yue and Cai Mao led [-] troops to intercept Sun Jian.When Sun Jian's army arrived, Kuai Yue spread out his formation and went out first.Sun Jian asked, "Why did Kuai Yidu lead his troops to cut me off?"

Kuai Yue said: "Since you are a minister of the Han Dynasty, how can you hide the jade seal of the country? You can leave it with me quickly, and I will let you go back!"
