Before the outbreak of the war of Wancheng, Liu Biao was named Jingzhou governor, but in fact only one county was in Nanjun. On the contrary, Yuan Shu, with the reputation of the fourth generation and the third Duke, was ordered by many places and fell in the wind. However, after being defeated by Xu Rong, Liu Biao got a breathing opportunity and expanded rapidly. Liu Biao, supported by Jingzhou scholars, has grown into a force that can not be ignored.
Although Yuan Shu swore, his heart was bitterly bitter. Fifty thousand troops were almost disabled by Xu Rong. Now he has only twenty thousand available soldiers. Can't he go out to deal with CAI Mao? You know, Xu Rong still supports 30000 soldiers, which is like a mountain on his back!
Seeing Yuan Shu's worries, Yan Xiang said, "my Lord, are you worried that Xu Rong will take the opportunity to attack the rear of Nanyang?"
Yuan Shu nodded with a gloomy face.
"If so, don't worry. Liu Zhengxi's army gathered at Tongguan. It is estimated that he is planning an attack against Dong Zhuo. If Xu Rong doesn't move, he will have already. If he does, Liu Zhengxi's army can attack Wuguan and cut off the retreat. Xu Rong is proficient in the art of war and will never do this unwise move. " Yan Xiang analyzed.
After listening to Yan Xiang's analysis, Yuan Shu nodded slightly, then frowned: "but Cai Mao's 12000 people are always hard to deal with. Ji Ling, how many soldiers should be sent to deal with it?"
Ji Ling frowned and said, "if you are going to send troops at the end of the day, at least it will take a considerable number of troops to deal with it, at least 10000. However, if you just stick to the city and cut off the enemy's food supply, you don't have to do this. "
At this time, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly spread into the camp.
"Ha ha! Why should the post general worry? If you don't give up, Jianyuan is the forerunner, you will defeat Cai Mao for the rear general. "
Yuan Shu and others looked intently and saw that it was Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha.
Yuan Shu was overjoyed: "is Wentai willing to fight Cai Mao for me?"
Sun Jian said: "just like Cai Mao, a yellow turban of war, first boarded Wancheng, Liangzhou pingqiang people, did not know who Cai Mao was."
"How many soldiers and horses does Wentai need?" Yuan Shu cared about Tao.
Sun Jian said haughtily: "the rear general only needs to allocate 5000 troops, including some old minister Sha Bing. Some will defeat Liu Biao for the rear general."
"Good!"
Sun Jian was originally the prefect of Changsha County. Because he led his army to cross-border operations, he killed Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, and Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou. Yuan Shu and Liu Biao both took advantage of the opportunity to enter. According to reason, Sun Jian should be their benefactor.
However, Liu Biao had a strong desire to control Jingzhou. After being appointed as the State animal husbandry by Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao immediately dispatched his son Liu Pan to capture the four counties in Jingnan. Changsha County was among them.
To put it simply, Liu Biao gave Sun Jian his old nest, so Sun Jian was very angry and determined to help Yuan Shu beat Liu Biao.
Sun Jian led five thousand troops including the old Changsha soldiers from Yuan Shu, and immediately set out on his way southward, sending more than ten waves of sentries on the way to investigate the enemy's situation.
On this day, Cai Mao arrived in Xinye county.
Cai Mao was resting in the camp when he suddenly frowned and opened his eyes. The sound of shouting and horse neighing came into his ears.
When he caught hold of him, he said, "what's the matter?"
The captured soldiers were covered with blood. Seeing that it was Cai Mao who caught him, he immediately replied, "Cai Xiaowei, the enemy attacked the camp at night, and everyone was fighting to death."
Cai Mao dropped the soldier, then grabbed his sword and ordered the soldiers to gather around him.
After seeing the general, many soldiers were immediately relieved and gathered in the direction of CAI Mao. Seeing many soldiers around him, Cai Mao was immediately relieved. However, this also attracted the attention of the Raiders.
"Kill!"
A fierce general with an iron whip and dozens of sharp soldiers rushed to kill him. He was very powerful. He whipped the Jingzhou soldiers on their heads and immediately cracked their skulls and covered their faces with blood.
"Cai Mao thief, eat my yellow cap
"Old thief, do you dare to fight with me in wenpin?"
Seeing Sun Jian's strong General Huang Gai, a valiant general suddenly burst out of the Jingzhou army, and his spear swept out, blocking Huang Gai's iron whip. Although he is young, he is quite brave, and he has killed Huang Gai back and forth.
However, Huang Gai is not the only strong general in the Jiangdong army. Han Dang, Cheng Pu and zumao are all powerful generals in the army. They fight and kill in the Jingzhou army, and the morale of Jingzhou soldiers is in great disorder.
The most valiant man of Changsha army is Sun Jian, who is known as the tiger of Jiangdong.
"Cai Mao! Do you know sun Wentai, the chief executive of Changsha? "
Sun Jian, with an ancient ingot knife in his hand and a red helmet on his head, rode his horse across the battlefield like a flame.
Cai Mao yelled: "Sun Jian, a thief, helped the tyrant and killed the court ministers without authorization. How dare you call yourself the prefect of Changsha? Now he is the governor of Changsha. "
Sun Jian was furious: "Cai Mao's thieves are talking nonsense!"
During a big war that night, Jingzhou soldiers and Changsha soldiers fought together under Xinye city all night. Due to the sudden surprise attack of Changsha soldiers, Jingzhou soldiers were caught off guard and lost more than 5000 people that night, while Sun Jian lost less than 1000. Cai Mao was almost killed by Sun Jian himself. Therefore, Cai Mao was greatly shocked and led the defeated army to retreat to Chaoyang County, regroup and stand firm for help.Sun Jian can be said to be unreasonable and unforgiving. After killing Cai Mao, he immediately went to Chaoyang. Cai Mao did not dare to go out of the city to fight Sun Jian, so he sent an envoy to Xiangyang for help.
Liu Biao was shocked to learn that Cai Mao had been defeated. He quickly sent Duke Lu to Huyang with 3000 soldiers to fight with CAI Mao. At the same time, he ordered Huang Zu, who was stationed in Jiangxia, to lead his elite troops to suixian county.
After learning the news of Sun Jian's great victory, Yuan Shu was very meticulous and immediately sent another 3000 people to reinforce Sun Jian, hoping that Sun Jian would win another battle.
Sun Jian is worthy of being called a fierce tiger in the east of the river. After receiving the support of Lu Gong, Cai Mao decided to attack Sun Jian on both sides, but he did not know that Sun Jian had also received reinforcements. Sun Jian held on to the camp with 4000 troops. When the two armies were exhausted, three thousand soldiers who came to reinforce him suddenly entered the battlefield. The Jingzhou soldiers who had been fighting hard could no longer support him and were defeated.
After Cai Mao's defeat, Jingzhou was shocked, while Sun Jian took advantage of the victory to attack the Hanjiang River, waiting for the opportunity to attack Xiangyang.
However, Yuan Shu knew that Sun Jian had hit Xiangyang in one breath, but he didn't know what to think. On the contrary, he interrupted the grain supply to Sun Jian.
For a while, sun Jianjun had to raise his own food and grass, and his morale was unstable.
Kuai Liang, on the other hand, provided Liu Biao with a "ambush plan". Taking advantage of sun Jianjun's lack of food and grass and his eagerness to fight, Kuai Liang lured Sun Jian to chase him to Yanshan, while Huang Zu, who had been lurking for a long time, was outstanding and shot sun Jian with one arrow.
Due to the death of Sun Jian, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao fell into a standoff, and the battle in Nanyang came to an end.
