As the Han River continued to surge and the water level continued to rise, Sun Jian's soldiers suffered heavy losses!
Many of Sun Jian's soldiers had already been submerged. At this time, those who had crossed over, those who had not crossed over, and those who were standing on the shore were all affected.
The soldiers and horses who had crossed the Han River were unable to return to help at this time. If Sun Jian fell into a tight siege, it would be very dangerous.
Sun Jian looked at the soldiers and horses surrounding the two sides and couldn't help but feel angry, but there was nothing he could do.
"Walk!"
With a loud roar, Sun Jian could only head upstream of the Han River, trying to find a way to cross the Han River.
"The general will leave first, and a certain family will be left behind."
"The father leaves first, and the children die later."
Cheng Pu and Sun Ce rode out at the same time, and without waiting for Sun Jian's permission, they immediately led their troops and horses to stop the incoming Gong Sun Zhu and others. Sun Jian also knew that this was not the time for children to love each other, so he could only yell again.
"Walk."
Gongsun Zhu couldn't help but sneered as he watched Sun Jian lead his troops and horses upstream.
"Sun Wentai, you really deserve this. This Jingzhou is the place where you will lose your life."
Sun Jian fled towards the upper reaches of the Han River, while Sun Ce and Cheng Pu stood in front to stop Gongsun Zhu and others from encircling and suppressing them.
Seeing Sun Ce's appearance, Ma Chao's eyes became even more crazy, and he was about to jump out of his horse and fight him to the death.
As a result, Gongsun Zhu stopped him as soon as he made a move.
"Don't be impulsive, or you may end up causing serious trouble!"
Gongsun Zhu's shout made Ma Chao stop his impulsive behavior, and at the same time he looked coldly at Sun Ce who was not far away.
Gongsun Zhu and his army did not charge immediately. Instead, they slowly stopped not far away from them, and the army surrounded them.
In the heavy rain, the yellow flag and the Guan flag in the other direction came slowly, but their speed slowed down, as if they didn't intend to fight them to the death.
"Liu Jingzhou does not want to cause more killings. You invaded Jingzhou. If you repent now, your lives can still be saved."
At this time, the army slowly surrounded them. At the same time, Gongsun Zhu also sent people to the front of the formations of both sides to listen to the words, which was to persuade them to surrender.
Sun Ce looked at the soldier who kept calling, and his face suddenly became furious. He was about to rush out and kill him on the spot, but Cheng Pu stopped him in place.
"Don't be impulsive. It's best if they don't take action now. Delay time and wait until the general is safe or the heavy rain stops, and we will be safe. Don't be impulsive."
Cheng Pu was different from Sun Ce's recklessness. He acted more slyly. Seeing Gongsun Zhu and others trying to persuade him to surrender, he actually thought he was a snake. After all, his purpose was to give Sun Jian enough time to escape.
If Sun Jian and his army escape and join the troops on the other side, then their mission here will be completed.
It can be delayed for a while, but there is no excuse for losing morale at this time.
Saving one's life is the most important thing.
As if they couldn't understand, Gongsun Zhu and others continued to persuade Cheng Pu and Sun Ce to surrender, but Cheng Pu also cooperated and talked to them from time to time, as if to keep them hopeful.
At this time, Sun Jian, who was fleeing towards the top of the Han River, finally saw that the Han River was slowly narrowing. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to find a place to cross the river soon.
During the heavy rain, they were first frightened by the eruption of the Han River, followed by ambushes, and finally ran a long distance, which made the soldiers and horses under the Sun family begin to feel tired.
Even Sun Jian himself felt very uncomfortable. The rain soaked his clothes completely, and it was very uncomfortable as the armor stuck to his body.
Sun Jian could only keep shouting for encouragement, and supported the soldiers to speed up and continue running.
Just when they were about to see hope, a big flag appeared in front of them.
"close"
It was the Guan Zi banner again, and this time even Sun Jian couldn't help but widen his eyes, wondering how it appeared here.
At the same time, under the banner, a general holding a long sword was coming slowly with more than a thousand soldiers and horses, blocking directly in front of them. The long beard that already had some shape, the majestic appearance .
"Kuan!"
Sun Jian seemed to be making a sound from his back molars, and the thick anger could not be suppressed.
He was not stupid. Guan Yu could not run faster than them. He rushed from the previous river beach to their front, and then waited for him with a look of preparedness.
There is only one possibility for this situation, that is, one is true and the other is false.
Now that Guan Yu has appeared here, it is naturally clear who is fake.
Although there were only more than a thousand people blocking the road, Sun Jian still had a gloomy face. He knew that Guan Yu appeared here, so Liu Jingsheng would never give up.
Sure enough, the moment they stopped, bursts of shouts of killing suddenly erupted next to them.
Among them, familiar or unfamiliar flags all appeared in front of Sun Jian.
"Huang", "Liu", "Cai" and "Wang"
I don’t know how much courage Liu Biao exerted, and this posture was almost overwhelming.
"Huang Hansheng is here, you still won't surrender."
"Liu Pan is here, Sun Wentai has come to accept his orders."
"The army charges and captures Sun Wentai alive."
"I, Wang Wei, come here to learn from me."
The roars one after another meant that Sun Jian was completely surrounded.
Huang Gai and Han Dang, who were beside Sun Jian, looked at this scene with equally ugly faces. They couldn't even say a word to tell their general to leave quickly.
Because they don't know where to go.
"Breakout!" At this moment, a young general suddenly shouted to the sky, "Protect the general to break through, break out!"
After saying that, they took the lead in holding a spear and rushed out in the direction of the "Cai" banner. They might not be able to escape there, but it was the closest place to them.
Amid the shouts of the young general, more and more soldiers gained strength again, and then rushed out one after another following the young general.
Sun Jian looked at the young general who was charging. He was Yu She's domestic slave, and he was often used as a punching bag by Yu She.
When Sun Jian saw that he was so young and covered with bruises, he felt pity for him, so he relied on his prestige to take him over from Yu She and even changed his name from Yu He to Sun He.
I never thought that in such a desperate time, this boy who was randomly saved by me would be so loyal.
Look at Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Wang Wei, Cai Mao, and Liu Pan who have gathered here, and then look at the soldiers who are still fighting hard even in desperate situations.
Sun Jian finally couldn't help but looked up to the sky and laughed.
Run, run, run, Sun Wentai, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, has no need to run away!
"Guan Yu, Huang Zhong!"
Sun Jian suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, causing the chaotic battlefield to suddenly fall into an eerie silence.
"And you dog thieves from Jingzhou, don't you want the lives of a certain family? Get out of the way of the battlefield. Who dares to kill a certain family here?"
Sun Jian roared loudly, causing everyone's eyes to focus on Sun Jian.
He was inviting a fight, and he was also telling everyone to spare his soldiers.
At this moment, Huang Gai and Han Dang were surprisingly silent. On the contrary, Sun He rushed back in the direction of Sun Jian with all his strength, as if he wanted to stop what Sun Jian was doing.
However, at Sun Jian's signal, he was blocked outside. In order to prevent him from shouting, his mouth was blocked directly, so that he could only widen his eyes and shout. That whimpering sound.
Sun Jian stood in the center of the battlefield, pulled out the ancient ingot sword from his waist, looked at Guan Yu, and then looked at Huang Zhong on the other side, his provocative look was unconcealed.
As for the other generals, he didn't even bother to look at them.
"The Sun thief is rampant!" The first person to rush out was not Guan Yu or Huang Zhong, but Liu Biao's son Liu Pan. This brave young general was the first to defect to Liu Biao.
Now seeing Sun Jian's disdain and ridicule towards these people, he naturally couldn't bear it. He was a man who feared nothing and no place at all. At this time, he jumped on his horse and charged towards them with his gun drawn.
Waving the spear in his hand, Sun Jian was slightly startled when he saw Liu Pan rushing towards him.
"I never thought that there are such young heroes in Jingzhou." Sun Jian praised, but at the same time, he cut down the ancient ingot sword in his hand without any mercy. He arrived in front of Liu Pan first, forcing Liu Pan to raise his gun. withstand.
After a crisp sound, Sun Jian's ancient ingot sword was bounced high, but Liu Pan's charge was stopped there, and the war horse even retreated a few steps.
Sun Jian didn't wait for Liu Pan to take action here, and rushed over directly. He kept waving the ancient ingot knife in his hand, and one blow after another made Liu Pan slowly become reluctant.
Sun Jian was like a mad tiger at this time, extremely fierce. Liu Pan was still a little young after all, so under this kind of offensive, he was inevitably a little scared.
Slowly, they fell into decline, until Sun Jian knocked Liu Pan's spear away with a sword, and Huang Zhong's arrow appeared again to prevent Sun Jian from killing.
Shaking his arm and looking at the arrow nailed to the ground, Sun Jian looked at Huang Zhong, as if asking if he would be the next one to come forward to fight.
At this time, Cai Mao had already hid behind the army and mobilized the crossbowmen. Wang Wei did not dare to make any more noises. When Liu Pan first arrived, he looked down on Liu Pan, but Liu Pan gave him a lesson.
Liu Pan was beaten so badly that he naturally did not dare to step forward.
Among the people present, the ones that caught Sun Jian's eye were Huang Zhong and Guan Yu.
At this time, Huang Zhong had already shot the arrow, and Huang Zhong was naturally the next one to appear.
"Shoot!" Just when Huang Zhong was about to take the field, a loud roar suddenly rang out from the battle formation, followed by a hail of arrows falling in the direction of Sun Jian.
This sudden change caught everyone off guard. Sun Jian was also embarrassed by the sudden arrow rain. His horse fell first, and he was hit by several arrows shortly after.
"Dog thief!" After seeing this scene, Sun He finally broke free from the restraints of everyone and roared directly at Cai Mao.
It was the rain of arrows ordered by Cai Mao just now.
But Sun He, who had just taken a few steps forward, was pinned to the ground again. This time it was Sun Bi who pinned him.
"Shut up!" Sun Bi growled, stopping Sun He's behavior, "You insist on letting your uncle die in peace, don't you? You must know that there is Bo Fu Zhong plotting against them, do you understand?"
Blood foam flowed from the corner of Sun Bi's mouth. It was because he had bitten his teeth and drew blood. He did not even dare to raise his head to look in the direction of Cai Hao and Sun Jian.
The only thing he could do was to hold Sun He down and press his head into the dirt to prevent him from making any more moves to anger the Jingzhou Army.
He knew it was a beast to do this, but he had to do it.
Sun Jian stood up unsteadily. The arrows had caused his life to flow away with blood, but he still stood up hard and looked in the direction of Sun Ben.
Looking at Sun Bi who was half-kneeling on the ground holding down Sun He without daring to raise his head, he suddenly smiled.
This nephew, always surprisingly sensible, is the Qilin son of his grandson family.
After two staggering steps, Sun Jian straightened his chest again and looked at all the generals in Jingzhou.
"Sun Wentai, the Jiangdong tiger, is here, who dares to take the head of a certain family!"
"Watch me waiting to kill you!"
At this moment, countless fierce generals and soldiers who claimed to be brave rushed towards the world-famous Jiangdong Tiger like crazy.
It's a pity that the head of Sun Jian, the Jiangdong tiger, was finally obtained by Cai Mao. Huang Zhong turned around silently. If Guan Yu hadn't been pulled by Guo Tu, he would have chopped off Cai Mao's head.
Guan Yu was so angry not because Cai Mao had stolen their victory.
This strategy was Guo Tu's from beginning to end. He first persuaded Yuan Shu to force Sun Jian to return to Yuzhou, and then Gongsun Zhu evacuated before Yuan Shu's envoy arrived.
Afterwards, everyone entered Zhijiang City. Guo Tu's attempt to destroy morale with the refugees was only the first half of his strategy. The second half was to use the refugees as a cover to release the army at night.
Imitate Li Ru's bluffing plan and do the opposite.
The army left at night, the four gates of Zhijiang City were closed again, and a large number of refugees pretended to be dressed up on the city walls.
Guan Yu and Guo Tu walked up the Han River and dug directly into the Han River embankment. It was already the end of May, and the plum rain season in Jingzhou was about to come.
This continuous rain can easily cause flooding, but now that the rainy season has just begun, Sun Jian did not expect that the Han River would surge. Guo Tu wanted to use the time difference between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian to dig up the river embankment.
Then when Sun Jian crosses the river, Gongsun Zhu will light up the smoke in Zhijiang City, and Guan Yu will directly dig the river embankment and let the Han River flow out, directly overwhelming Sun Jian's army.
At the same time, more than 10,000 refugees will be divided into three parts.
One of them followed Gongsun Zhu and pretended to be the defender of Zhijiang City. The second one appeared from another city gate and waved Guan Yu's flag, pretending to be Guan Yu's army in Zhijiang City. The third one waved Huang Zhong's flag and pretended to be Jingzhou reinforcements.
The retreat to Yuzhou caused a decline in morale, and the surge of the Han River split the army into two, causing great panic.
At this time, Sun Jian is a veteran, so he naturally knows not to fight, and the best way is to avoid his edge.
If the Han River floods, there will definitely be shoals upstream, and escaping upstream is his best choice.
Pang Ji had already gone to Xiangyang with Guo Tu's letter and silk. Liu Jingsheng would cooperate with Gongsun Zhu. After Sun Jian withdrew, he would immediately send out all his troops and rush towards the upper reaches of the Han River.
Guan Yu blocked the way, and the Jingzhou army surrounded him on all sides. Even if Sun Jian was really a fierce tiger, he would not be able to escape today.
Everything went very smoothly, and Sun Jian was successfully cornered by them.
But when Guan Yu came to Kai, Sun Jian couldn't die like this. He was the hero who defeated Dong, and he was the best general in the world. He couldn't die in the hands of such villains.
It's just that Guo Tu is much more rational than Guan Yu. When Guan Yu just opened his eyes, Guo Tu hung directly on him.
After much talk, Guan Yu was stopped.
To be honest, Guan Yu was not the only one who was full of anger at this time, let alone Gongsun Zhu and Ma Chao, who also had a somewhat violent temper.
Even Guo Tu and Tian Chou were a little angry at this time.
Those guys in Jingzhou are really not afraid of death!
If it weren't for the fact that now was really not the time, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no other way, if it wasn't for the fact that Jingzhou was too important to Gongsun Zhu.
Whatever Guo Tu said today, he had to stand by and let Guan Yu personally send these bastards on their way!
Liu Biao had to maintain a cooperative attitude with Cai Mao. He didn't know whether Guan Yu could kill Cai Mao with this sword, but they had no hope of surviving in Jingzhou.
The Yuzhou Army chose to surrender under the leadership of Sun Ben. They did not trust Yuan Shu. Even if they returned to Yuan Shu's side, their ending would not be so good.
Sun Ben first found Cheng Pu and Sun Ce, who were still in a stalemate, and told them the news.
When Sun Ce learned about this, he made the same choice as Sun He.
Sun Bi couldn't keep Sun Ce, but he could stop him.
He drew out his long sword and threw it at Sun Ce's feet.
"There are tens of thousands of soldiers here. Your father paid for their lives with his own. Since you don't want them, there is no need to let them die on the battlefield again. You kill them one by one yourself.
It can be regarded as leaving a good reputation for your father and son. "
Sun Bi just stood in front of Sun Ce, looking at the furious Sun Ce who looked like he was about to kill him at his neck. He had the only way to persuade Sun Ce.
He also knew that Sun Ce would accept the soft rather than the tough, but because of the murder of his father and the lives of all these people, Sun Ben chose the latter.
Looking at his cousin, Sun Ce's chest heaved violently, and the anger in his heart kept telling him to pull out the long sword in his hand and kill him here.
But in the end he gave up the idea and was pulled aside by everyone to comfort him.
At the same time, Sun Bi saw that Sun Ce was no longer impulsive, so he entered Xiangyang City alone, wearing sackcloth and mourning, and personally lowered his body and asked Liu Biao to let them return home with Sun Jian's coffin.
At the same time, Kuai Yue also winked, not only letting Sun Ben and others go back, but also all the generals who were willing to follow Sun Ben and others.
However, the Yuzhou army is not allowed to be released. It is going to its generals and camps to keep its soldiers and horses.
Although Sun Bi was full of anger, he could only thank him in a low voice in the end, and finally left slowly with everyone.
At this time, the most ridiculous news came back. Yuan Shu's army, which was supposed to quickly replace Sun Jian and continue the campaign in Jingzhou, had just passed through Fancheng.
The army dragged its feet and looted along the way, making the people along the way miserable and wailing one by one.
After Liu Biao learned the news, he immediately stopped the recruitment of the Yuzhou army at the suggestion of Kuai Yue, and directly joined forces with Gongsun Zhu to block Yuan Shu. At the same time, Cai Mao and Huang Zhong made an offer to Yuan Shu, one on the left and the other on the right. .
Wang Wei of Liu Pan detoured and cut off his food route, directly forcing Yuan Shu away and letting him leave Jingzhou.
When Yuan Shu saw Sun Jian's defeated army and knew that Sun Jian had been defeated, he froze on the spot.
Even the many generals under his command did not expect that this would be the case. Sun Jian was the world-famous Jiangdong Tiger and a brave general in the world. How could he die in a place like Jingzhou?
Immediately afterwards, flags were flying along the Hanshui River.
Even if Yuan Shu is a fool, he still knows that he has fallen into a trap.
"Sun Jian is dead, what happened to the generals and commanders under his command?"
To everyone's surprise, Yuan Shu was not furious, shocked, or angrily wanting to fight Liu Biao to the death. Instead, he asked Sun Jian how his wife and children were doing.
The first thought of Zhang Xun and others was that Yuan Shu was obsessed with that object, but Yan Xiang was suddenly stunned, with a look of joy on his face.
"I'm going to go find out now."
"Tell them that if they have no place to go, I, Yuan Gongli, will take care of their orphans and widowed mothers!"
After Yuan Shu said these words, he stopped talking. His general Liu Xun whispered to the side, "My lord is worthy of being your lord, but we have never thought of such a plan."
"Do you think a generation of heroes would bully an orphan and a widowed mother?"
Just when Liu Xun thought he understood Yuan Shu's intention, a cold voice reached his ears. At the same time, Zhang Xun and Ji Ling walked slowly past him.
Yuan Shu was choked by Liu Biao, and Gongsun Zhu and others blocked the banks of the Han River. Although Yuan Shu also gathered many of Sun Jian's defeated troops, he still could not make up for his losses.
Because the food route was cut off, Yuan Shu could only retreat with hatred.
In fact, from a certain perspective, Yuan Shu is really a decisive person. He is the legitimate son of the Yuan family. He has seen too many good things.
He doesn't care about anything at all.
He can give up things that others are reluctant to part with, and he can suppress his desires for things that others care about to the extreme.
It's just that he can only suppress his desires like this a few times in his life.
This is also a strange person.
Yuan Shu withdrew from Jingzhou, and Nanyang was taken back into Liu Biao's hands step by step.
But Gongsun Zhu was as angry as Guan Yu at this time.
"Wen Zhongye, are you here to declare war with us?"
According to the agreement, after expelling Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, the land of Nanyang will become his Gongsun Zhu's territory.
In other words, it was Gongsun Zhu who lent Liu Biao temporarily. Gongsun Zhu was happy for a long time. This land of Nanyang is close to Sili, and Wancheng, the county government, is Wan, commonly known as Wanluo land.
When he wanted Nanyang County in the first place, he wanted to join forces with his cheap father Sili and seize Guanzhong, so that he could slowly develop and close the country.
As a result, Sun Jian was gone and Yuan Shu was gone, but when he arrived in Nanyang, he saw Wen Zhongye who had been here long ago.
