He heard about Sun Jian's record, which could be described as brilliant. He went on a rampage and almost defeated Hu Zhen with overwhelming force. However, Lu Bu, who was in charge of the flanks, blindly protected himself and did nothing, and finally took advantage of Sun Jian to break out. gained such a great reputation.
Looking at Sun Jian's majestic appearance and then looking at his own state, Gongsun Zhu just had a wry smile on his face and was filled with helplessness.
There were more and more refugees, and the food he brought over was once again insufficient. The soldiers were finally unable to eat enough due to the sustenance of the soldiers.
This situation made him completely out of ideas. Now even if he wanted to bring them back to Jincheng County, he couldn't do it.
In their current state, not to mention Jincheng County, they are almost dead before they reach Luoyang. Moving at this time is not to save people, but to commit evil.
Just when Gongsun Zhu was at his wits end, Guo Tu, who had been slapped by Gongsun Zhu before, took the initiative to find Gongsun Zhu.
"General Gongsun, in order to seek refuge with Yuan Shu last year, Sun Jian, at his request, killed Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang County, helped Yuan Shu obtain the land of Nanyang."
"...and what next?" Gongsun Zhu didn't know what Guo Tu said suddenly.
"In order to fill the vacancy in Jingzhou and to contain Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to let Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng, who served as the Northern Army's lieutenant after King Lu Gong and Liu Yu, become the governor of Jingzhou."
"Ah, we know, but we don't know him, and I don't think he would come here to wade into this muddy water."
Gongsun Zhu seemed to have some clues, but he didn't think it was a good idea to ask Liu Biao for help.
"At the beginning, Jingzhou was in chaos and there were many clan traitors. Liu Biao, the governor of the state, had to hide his identity to enter Jingzhou alive. Later, he relied on the help of the Kuai brothers, Cai Mao and others to open up the situation in Yicheng.
Later, he relied on the influence of the Kuai family and the Pang family to persuade the Xiangyang bandits to surrender, and finally occupied the northern part of Jingzhou. "
"Yes, he has firmly established himself as the governor of Jingzhou."
"He can't sit still!" Guo Tu shook his head directly, then waved his hand towards Ma Chao, and then took out a map from his arms under Ma Chao's gaze, which was a map of Jingzhou.
"This is Jingzhou. Not to mention that everything in Jingnan is out of control now. It will take a lot of time to solve the problem in Jingnan. The most important thing is that Nanyang is now in the hands of Yuan Shu.
In order to appease Yuan Shu, he had already gone to the court to appoint Yuan Shu as the governor of Nanyang County, and took the initiative to separate Nanyang and Yuan Shu.
But Jingnan and Yuan Shu have an inexplicable relationship. Yuan Shu will not give up the entire Jingzhou for Nanyang.
If Liu Biao wants to get rid of the situation, he can only quickly deal with the forces in Jingnan, but this will undoubtedly touch Yuan Shu's interests.
The reason why Liu Biao went to Jingzhou alone at this time was not only because of the danger, but also to tell many aristocratic families in Jingzhou that he, Liu Biao, had no power and could only rely on the help of many families.
And this is the opportunity I've been waiting for. "
After Guo Tu finished speaking, he slapped the map.
"What I want is a foothold, and what Liu Biao wants is a force that can help him block Yuan Shu and delay time. Do you have the guts to deal with that Jiangdong tiger?"
Gongsun Zhu looked at Guo Tu who looked solemn in front of him. This was the first time he had shown this state to him.
At the same time, he also knew that this was the choice Guo Tu gave him.
"If I say there is..."
"Ma Chao will go to Xiangyang with Guo. Within three days, a certain family will find a place for you to settle down. But what happens next is your business."
Guo Tu interrupted Gongsun Zhu's words, and this time he even said something almost irritating at the end.
"Back then, you were encouraged to offend the Xun family, and your protective husband saved you. Now, a certain family wants you to offend the Yuan family's legitimate son again. But this time, no one can save you. You have to think clearly. "
"Ha..." Gongsun Zhu suddenly smiled, "Be careful on the road."
After saying that, he left the big tent, and Guo Tu also showed a smile at this time, and slowly picked up the map with his hand.
Expose the place where he was holding down.
"Fancheng"
Guo Tu and Ma Chao galloped towards Xiangyang. Just as Guo Tu said, he was looking for a place for Gongsun Zhu and these countless refugees to settle down.
At the same time, Sun Jian rejected Li Jue who came to propose marriage. In order to persuade Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo not only hoped to make peace with him, but even promised to raise the Sun family.
Mingzhu told Sun Jian to give him a list of children in his family who could serve as governors and governors, and he would recommend them one by one without any nonsense.
The numerous pros and cons were repeatedly stated, but Sun Jian completely rejected them without hesitation.
This time Sun Jian was determined to follow Yuan Shu and fight Dong Zhuo to the end.
In the end, after fighting, he fell in love with Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo even lamented to Chang Shi Liu Ai about the prosperous years he and Sun Jian had in the Battle of Yongliang.
By the way, he boasted about his ability to lead troops. I don't know if Dong Zhuo knew that the most important thing Sun Jian did in Yongliang was to tell Zhang Wen to kill Dong Zhuo quickly.
Sun Jian was unstoppable all the way, and he fought and fought consecutively to reach Dagong Pass.
Dong Zhuo was so angry at being beaten by Sun Jian that he led his army out again. This time he wanted to confront Sun Jian head-on.
The two sides fought outside the Dagu Pass. Dong Zhuo was sitting on a high platform. Dong Zhuo, who was already looking quite obese, had a calm face at this time, looking at Sun Jian's army with flags fluttering not far away.
At this time, Dong Zhuo felt a strong sense of the intersection of dragon and tiger.
Then only half a day passed...
"Li Jue, where is Li Jue? Stop Sun Jian, quickly!"
"Where is Fan Chou? Where is your army, Fan Chou? Go quickly, go quickly!"
"Zhang Ji, why did you retreat? I asked you to guard the flanks. What are you guarding?"
"The army is pressing forward, pressing forward!"
"Guo Si, go to the flank to block Sun Jian, hurry!"
Dong Zhuo only felt overwhelmed now. The troops and horses under his command were more powerful and elite than ever before, but at this time, it was more difficult for him to command them than ever before.
He regretted that Xu Rong was placed in Chang'an to guard the Third Assistant. If Xu Rong was here at this time, he might be able to stop the powerful Sun Jian.
In the last half day of the fierce battle, Sun Jian personally risked the arrows and was hit by three arrows and wounded in five places. His left arm was injured and could not use force, but it was just like this that allowed him to break through Dong Zhuo's camp.
Dong Zhuo looked at the defeated army, roared one last time, and withdrew with his troops.
"Lu Bu is stationed in Luoyang, the others and I will return to the army to repair!"
Dong Zhuo only left such an order and then led his army back the same way. He didn't even stop at Luoyang, and walked directly around the city to Mianchi and ran away.
This battle not only brought Sun Jian's morale to its peak, but also allowed him to take down Dagong Pass. From then on, he was only one step away from Luoyang.
Lu Fengxian in Luoyang City looked at the powerful Sun Jian. He knew that if he fought to the death, he would not be able to hold off Sun Jian.
As for winning...
With Sun Jian's current morale, he wouldn't be able to defeat Lord Wu An if you throw him here. These people are already desperate for their lives. They can exchange infantry, combat and cavalry for one. Under this kind of momentum, who dares to say that he is Can win.
"Gao Shun followed me to cut off the rear, and Zhang Liao led his troops to retreat."
Lu Bu directly issued the order at this time. Luoyang was now burned to the ground, and most of the soldiers and horses under his command were cavalry. It was just that the city was in dilapidated condition, and their morale was obviously hit.
At this time, he had no intention of sticking around for Dong Zhuo. His adopted father was his adopted father, and Lu Bu also knew that his things had nothing to do with him after Dong Zhuo died.
But if he dies, all the troops under his command will be divided up immediately, and he doesn't want to die yet.
Zhang Liao was not his direct descendant, but Lu Bu knew Zhang Liao's abilities, and no one under him except Gao Shun dared to say he was better than Zhang Liao. Moreover, even if Zhang Liao was originally from the Bingzhou lineage, it would be a good idea to let him lead the army at this time.
Lu Bu is a person who cares about the best interests. He doesn't care whether Zhang Liao is his direct descendant, he cares about what Zhang Liao can bring to him.
At least this is what Lu Bu looks like now, but in Zhang Liao's eyes, everything is different.
He saw something he envied in Lu Bu.
"General, don't worry, Liao Ding will live up to your expectations."
At this moment, Zhang Liao was extremely solemn.
In the battle at Luoyang, Sun Jian attacked Lu Fengxian fiercely. Until the moment of the fight, Lu Bu was convinced that he still underestimated Sun Jian.
This tiger's strength was not bad. He had never fought against him when he broke out of the encirclement. Now that Sun Jian and several generals were fighting for their lives, he could only deal with the generals.
The army attacked Gao Shun fiercely, even using human life as a shield. Under this desperate fighting style, Gao Shun, who had not yet fully grown up, faced an even harder battle than Lu Bu.
Finally, seeing that Zhang Liao had gone far, Lu Bu took Gao Shun and ran away without hesitation. Even the trapped camp really lost less than half of its troops, and the two of them broke up the rear.
In this battle, Sun Jian won Luoyang again and became famous all over the world. He even got a real treasure.
After Sun Jian captured Luoyang, he calmed down the fire, repaired the city walls, and allowed the army to rest for a while before preparing to continue the pursuit and continue the war.
Dong Zhuo recruited Xu Rong back. If Sun Jian dared to continue the attack, he would release Xu Rong and fight to the death with him.
The two sides temporarily fell into a tense calm. At this time, the previously powerful coalition forces had completely fallen apart.
Seeing that the attack on Dong Zhuo was not going well, Yuan Shao had other thoughts. He wanted to enthrone Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, as emperor to compete with the one in Chang'an.
However, Yuan Shu scorned this matter and told Yuan Shao clearly that you are tormenting you. If you dare to do this to the Yuan family, I will completely fall out with you.
Yuan Shu's tough attitude did not change Yuan Shao's original intention. He sent envoys to persuade Liu Yu...
Then he was scolded by Liu Yu. After that, Yuan Shao knew that this matter would not work, so he could only do the next best thing and discuss letting Liu Yu take charge of the secretarial affairs.
"I don't even want to be Dong Zhuo's chief minister, so why don't you let me be the minister?"
