Sun Jian was not a fool, and he also knew the art of war very well. How could a majestic pass like Hulao Pass be easily defeated? Even if Jiangdong's army managed to break through Hulao Pass at all costs, Sun Jian's troops would suffer heavy losses. In the end, besides gaining a reputation, what other benefits would Sun Jian have? Will other princes give some of their troops to Sun Jian? The result is that she made wedding clothes for others in vain.
Therefore, when Sun Jian reached Hulao Pass, he did not continue to advance. Instead, he stationed where he was and waited for the arrival of large forces from the rear.
Sun Jian's choice was certainly correct, but in the view of Sun Quan, who knew Dong Zhuo would retreat in advance, it was not cost-effective to do so now. If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Now that Sun Quan is here, he obviously wants to gain more benefits for his family. At this point, Sun Quan's goal is no longer Dong Zhuo, or in other words, not only Dong Zhuo, Sun Quan also wants to grab credit and money.
Dong Zhuo was cruel. He withdrew from Luoyang with the mentality that if I am not good, you should not think too well. Therefore, Dong Zhuo not only kidnapped the high-ranking officials and nobles of Luoyang City, but also took away all the money in Luoyang City. Finally, he burned the prosperous Luoyang to the ground, turning the most prosperous city in the world into ruins overnight. How cruel was Dong Zhuo? He even sent people to dig up the imperial tomb before leaving!
No matter what, the matter of moving the capital was a temporary decision made by Dong Zhuo's army. They left suddenly and probably only had one day. So, as long as they can accurately grasp the time when Dong Zhuo's army withdraws from Hulao Pass, and seize the opportunity to break through Hulao Pass, which is already strong on the outside and strong on the inside, Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army can get ahead of all the princes, enter the pass, and rush to the front of Luoyang City in one breath.
By then, from the time of the Jujube Alliance, or even from the time Sun Jian raised his troops from Changsha, from the beginning to the end, it was Sun Jian who fought head-on with Dong Zhuo's army and finally defeated Dong Zhuo! The other princes, to put it bluntly, are just trying to build up their prestige. The people of the world are very discerning, which will give Sun Jian extremely huge prestige and momentum. Don't think that this kind of reputation has no real benefits. In troubled times, apart from military strength, in the final analysis, talent is the most important. How many talents did Cao Cao recruit to achieve hegemony? Did Cao Cao have so many talents in the first place?
In this battle, it would be best if we could completely kill Dong Zhuo and save Emperor Xian or the Young Emperor. If not, the reputation gained would definitely be Sun Jian's biggest gain!
The above is what Sun Quan wants - to grab credit. After talking about grabbing credit, the next step is naturally grabbing money.
To put it bluntly, Dong Zhuo moved the capital in three steps. In the first step, Dong Zhuo himself, Emperor Xian, hundreds of officials and other important people evacuated first. After all, these people were the most afraid of death and the most important. They also walked the slowest. They left first and then sent people to suppress them. the safest. The second step is to search and destroy. The third step is to transport all the treasures away.
Originally, Dong Zhuo had at least one day to complete these three steps. But as long as Sun Quan is alert enough and keenly seizes the opportunity, then by the time Sun Jian breaks through Hulao Pass and attacks Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo is probably still taking the second step. By then, Dong Zhuo's army was in a panic, and there was no important person to give orders. In addition, they were evacuating voluntarily and their morale was low. The only thing they could do was to quickly transport away the looted property.
In this way, Jiangdong's army could not only save at least half of Luoyang City, but also intercept more than half of Dong Zhuo's treasures. These treasures were looted by Dong Zhuo, and the bad reputation fell entirely on Dong Zhuo. As for Sun Jian, as long as you don't tell anyone, who will know that you robbed it, or who knows how much you robbed? Once you take this money and return to Jiangdong, how many soldiers can you recruit and how many horses can you buy?
From the perspective of the entire Alliance Army, and from the perspective of the ultimate goal of this anti-Dong campaign, it actually doesn't matter whether it's half a day more or less. But for Sun Jian and Jiang Dongjun, this half day is absolutely a world of difference. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as these resources can be successfully obtained, the person who will unify half of the country first in the future will not be Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, but Sun Jian!
Faced with such a huge temptation, it would be false for Sun Quan not to be tempted.
If Sun Quan was an independent commander at this time and could lead his own troops, then he would use his Let Me Think Three Skills three times a day to personally lead his troops to attack Hulao Pass. In the illusion, there would be no need for any temptation, just a fierce attack. Sun Quan didn't do it for any other reason than to test the reality of Hulao Pass. And three times a day in the morning, noon and evening (the three times in the illusion, there is no soldier fatigue and injury), Sun Quan will never lose more than half a day's opportunity.
Unfortunately, it is Sun Jian who calls the shots now rather than Sun Quan, making it impossible for Sun Quan to use such an effortless ultimate trick. Even in the illusion, Sun Quan could not advise his father to storm Hulao Pass, and it was impossible for Sun Jian to agree to Sun Quan's unreasonable request. After all, in terms of military affairs, no more than others, Sun Jian would not completely lose his mind just because he was superstitious about Sun Quan.
Therefore, Sun Quan could only take a step back and first told Sun Jian about the possibility that Dong Zhuo might retreat, and then advised Sun Jian to fight tentatively every day, call for formations, and recruit troops. He could not do this and wait for the Allies to attack. The troops arrive.
If anyone else had said that Dong Zhuo would voluntarily abandon Hulao Pass, Sun Jian would have absolutely scorned it. However, these words came from Sun Quan's mouth. Sun Jian did not fully believe it, at least he was doubtful about it. Unfortunately, the effect of the exploratory attack was far different from the fierce attack Sun Quan originally imagined.
In the case of a fierce attack, as long as Dong Zhuo's large army leaves, we can try it out at that time. But if you attack tentatively, even if Dong Zhuo's army really leaves, you may not find any problems. If it were some strong and powerful defender, I wouldn't be surprised if he could even lie to you for ten and a half days.
Man proposes, God disposes. Sun Quan thought he had done enough and could only leave the rest to fate.
I don’t know if Dong Zhuo really made the world angry and resentful, but in the end God chose to help Sun Jian. Under Sun Quan's strong suggestion, Sun Jian persisted every day and conducted tentative attacks on Hulao Pass. Even Cao Cao, who was closest to him, couldn't understand Sun Jian's move. He only thought it was some strange conspiracy in Sun Tzu's Art of War. While Cao Cao was paying attention to the situation on Sun Jian's side, he calmed down and studied the first of the thirty-six strategies.
Until this day, Sun Jian still sent troops to test in front of Hulao Pass. As a result, the defenders on the other side surrendered before the battle started.
Is it a scam? Well, normal people would think so.
But as soon as he heard the news, Sun Quan was overjoyed. He decisively used the "Let me think twice" skill once, and in a second he was sure that the opponent was not pretending to surrender. Dong Zhuo's garrison at Hulao Pass was too cowardly. Dong Zhuo's large army had just left last night. Today they saw Jiangdong's army coming. Even though they knew that Jiangdong's army would not really fight as usual, they did not resist and surrendered directly. .
Sun Quan didn't want to waste time, and he didn't want Sun Jian to slowly make any foolproof plan, so he called Yu'er and went to Hulao Pass to recruit troops alone. Upon hearing the news, Sun Jian was almost frightened and quickly led his troops to chase Sun Quan.
Well, in the end, Sun Jian succeeded in controlling Hulao Pass, and our Sun Quan finally learned his lesson. The furious Sun Jian was tied up and hung at Hulao Pass, and became a mascot. . . . . .
The most annoying thing is that Sun Jian actually ignored this biggest hero, as if he had forgotten to hang Sun Quan, leaving a small number of troops to guard outside Hulao Pass, and directly led his troops to kill Luoyang.
Of course, Sun Jian led the troops away, and Yu'er saved Sun Quan. Who dared to stop the garrison behind Hulao? Naturally, he would turn a blind eye to such household matters. Sun Jian must have known that this would be the result.
Yu'er was happy on the side, while Sun Quan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Oh, that’s all.
We have reached this point. The biggest problem, Hulao Pass, has been solved, and the rest has become a matter of course. It doesn't mean much whether he is more than Sun Quan. Sun Quan also knew what his father was thinking, so he took the opportunity to punish him and kept him in Hulao Pass to prevent him from risking his life again.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan suddenly started thinking again. Since he is now in Hulao Prison, can he use it for personal gain, close Hulao Prison firmly, and become a general who defends the city for a time?
What? The Allies are coming, let the door open? Sorry, if you say you are an Allied Army, then you are an Allied Army? How do I know you are not pretending to be Dong Zhuojun? How do I know that you have not surrendered to Dong Zhuo's army? What? You said you are General XX and it is impossible for you to surrender to the enemy? Sorry, I don't know you. If you don’t open it, you won’t open it. Mommy didn’t come back~~
Of course, I, Sun Quan, am not unreasonable. As long as the person coming is someone I know and trust, I will open the door. For example, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan. . . . . . All in all, Sun Quan would not open the door if it was not the Eighteenth Prince himself. Even if the opponent knew that Sun Quan had few soldiers, it would be impossible for them to attack. Finally, by the time Yuan Shao and the group of people in charge appeared, it was estimated that Sun Quan had delayed him for at least half a day. By then, Sun Jian's side must have cooked rice.
Hehe~~
The more Sun Quan thought about it, the happier he became. He was proud of his shamelessness, bah, and his cleverness.
However,
When Sun Quan was happily lying in the Hulao Gate basking in the sun, and even wanted to ask someone to get a piano, play a few "noises" and play an empty city plan that no one could understand, an unexpected change came. .
I saw that Sun Quan, who was lying leisurely, suddenly jumped up, as if he had had a nightmare, his face changed drastically,
"Sister Yu'er?!"
Sun Quan shouted while looking for someone.
It can be seen that Sun Quan is quite panicked at this moment, because Yu'er has always been beside him and never left.
"What's wrong?"
Yu'er got close to Sun Quan and looked around cautiously, thinking that Sun Quan had discovered some danger. Not only Yu'er, but the soldiers next to him were also frightened, and they all acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
As a result, Sun Quan grabbed Yu'er and said nervously,
"Are you OK?"
"Ah?" Yu'er turned her head back and looked at Sun Quan confusedly, "What can happen to me?" After saying that, seeing that Sun Quan's expression didn't look fake, Yu'er smiled, "Hehe, little brother, you You won’t have nightmares anymore, will you?”
Nightmare?
Sun Quan looked at Yu'er, who looked as usual and breathed smoothly, and then looked at the character card in the spiritual world that had just lost a drop of blood. The name on the card was clearly visible - Diao Chan.
