Chapter 1093 Jiangdong Tigers—Curtain Call
On May 19th in the third year of Chuping, Pingzhou Mu was blessed with a pair of sons and daughters, and the world (Shang Ji's sphere of influence) was greatly appreciated, which shocked the whole world. However, on the same day, there was another news that shocked the world. This news even overshadowed the birth of Shang Cheng and Shang Jun to some extent.
On May 19th, Wu Chenghou, General Polu, Changsha Prefect, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, known as the tigers in the east of the Yangtze River, fought against Liu Biao because they underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. Unfortunately, they were ambushed and died on the spot!
Ever since Sun Jian retreated from Luoyang and was intercepted by Liu Biao, Sun Jian's army and Liu Biao's army had formed a relationship. In fact, as early as earlier, there was a gap between the two armies.
Sun Jian is the prefect of Changsha, Liu Biao is the shepherd of Jingzhou, and Changsha is a county under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou. In theory, Liu Biao is Sun Jian's direct superior. However, with Sun Jian's temperament, how could Liu Biao subdue Sun Jian? When Sun Jian was the prefect of Changsha, Liu Biao was still dawdling in Luoyang!
Before Liu Biao took office, Sun Jian was no longer satisfied with a mere prefect of Changsha. He expanded outwards openly and secretly, embezzling many surrounding counties. After Liu Biao took up his post as Jingzhou Shepherd, he would naturally not let Sun Jian do whatever he wanted. There were conflicts between the two sides, and the volley was just a general outbreak of conflicts between the two sides.
After the volley, the two sides were completely torn apart. For two years, you came and went, and the wars, big and small, almost never stopped. In the early days, Liu Biao was a powerful and wealthy man, and he stabilized Sun Jian's head. Liu Biao's army once broke into Sun Jian's lair in Changsha.
But the Jiangdong Tigers are naturally not in vain, and when the bully Sun Ce first showed his strength, the father and son worked together, not only withstood Liu Biao's pressure, but even fought back all the way, and finally pushed the battle line to Liu Biao's core ruling area - Nanjun!
The Sun family's army has been like a tiger all the way, and it seems to be swallowing the land of Jingchu. It has become the most dazzling vassal force in the past two years.
However, just as the saying goes, prosperity must decline.
At the critical moment when Sun Jian was trying to defeat Liu Biao's forces and lay the foundation of hegemony in one go, he was ambushed by Liu Biao's army because he underestimated the enemy, and unfortunately died.
Sun Jian's death in battle was a fatal blow to Sun Jiajun. Although Sun Ce's performance during this period was also very dazzling, he was far inferior to Sun Jian in terms of prestige and ability. Sun Jian's death in battle directly led to the leaderless Sun's army. Liu Biao took advantage of the situation to attack and defeated the main force of Sun Jian's army in one fell swoop. In the end, Sun Ce led only tens of thousands of remnants to break out of the encirclement under the escort of Han Dang, Huang Gai and others.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Biao pursued the victory and successfully recovered Changsha, Wuling and other counties that were previously occupied by Sun Jian. The morale of the remnants led by Sun Ce was low, and they lacked food and clothing. Instead, he went to join Yuan Shu.
Speaking of which,
Yuan Shu and Sun Jian are still allies.
Yuan Shu was in Runan County, and Sun Jian was in Changsha County. The two of them attacked Liu Biao in the middle, one south and the other north. Under the geographical conditions, the previous small dispute was ignored by the two tacitly, and they began to form an alliance to fight against Jingzhou Mu. Liu Biao.
One of the most important reasons why Sun Jian was able to win consecutive battles was that Yuan Shu restrained Liu Biao's energy in Nanyang County, so that Liu Biao was tired of fighting on two fronts.
Unfortunately, Sun Jian died in battle, and Sun Ce took a group of old, weak, sick and disabled to seek refuge with Sun Jian's former ally Yuan Shu, which is also reasonable-what a fart!
Whether it was Sun Jian's sudden death in battle, or Sun Ce's decision to join Yuan Shu, there is something strange in it!
Especially the death of Sun Jian revealed a strong taste of conspiracy.
As an S-level historical military general, Sun Jian's own combat effectiveness is very impressive. Although the solitary army was suspected of being paralyzed and careless, the 300 personal guards around him were all ninth-rank top-rank soldiers, and they cooperated with Sun Jian.
But just like that, he died inexplicably at the hands of an unknown young general.
According to the information obtained by Shang Ji, the general who successfully ambushed and killed Sun Jian was named Lu Gong, who was originally just a low-level historical general in Liu Biao's army. And this general Lu had just completed the feat of ambushing the Jiangdong tiger, and was stabbed to death by Han Dang who came to support him.
Sun Jian's death was inexplicable, and Lu Gong's death was even worse.
What's even more inexplicable is that after defeating Sun Jian and recovering a large area of lost ground, Liu Biao's army, which was in full swing, suffered a major defeat immediately after.
It wasn't that Sun Jiajun suddenly came back to life, but the northern battlefield. Yuan Shu, who had been in a stalemate, suddenly sent a large-scale army to Nanyang County. In the south, Liu Biao's army, which fought vigorously with Sun Jian's army, collapsed. In just ten days, Yuan Shu's army successfully occupied more than 90% of Nanyang Only a few important border towns such as Caiyang, Suixian, and Shandu are still in Liu Biao's hands.
Liu Biao took back remote counties such as Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang, but lost Nanyang County, the most prosperous and rich in Jingzhou. It's hard to say whether he lost or gained.
In other words, Yuan Shu became the biggest beneficiary of the Sun Liu War!
The princes are not fools, and it is easy to see the tricks from it. Although there is no clear evidence to prove that it was Yuan Shu who harmed Sun Jian, the princes don't need evidence, as long as they agree with this statement in their hearts.
And the way Sun Ce led the crowd to defect to Yuan Shu also shocked the jaws of the whole place.
The rumors that Yuan Shu entrapped Sun Jian were all the rage. As a son, even if he didn't turn against Yuan Shu at this juncture, he couldn't directly recognize the thief as his father, right?
Or is it that Sun Ce, Sun Jian's successor, is a single-minded idiot who doesn't see the tricks?
Shang Ji didn't know the specifics of what happened, because the distance was too far, Yingyi Miwu and Qian Huan concentrated their energy in the north, and the intelligence network in the south was obviously weak, and Shang Ji couldn't get any confidential information from it. Unable to make valid judgments.
However, in the process of learning that Sun Ce defected to Yuan Shu, Zhou Yu and Lu Su joined forces to vote, and at the same time recovered the two top generals Dong Xi and Chen Wu. Shang Ji immediately ordered Chen Guan to strengthen the investigation of Sun Ce's army.
Sun Ce may not be able to use his brain well, but what about Zhou Yu and Lu Su? In the whole world, no one can despise Zhou Yu in terms of IQ even if Zhuge Liang who has not yet become an official is counted!
Although Sun Jian's death in battle was a terrible catastrophe for the Sun family army, it was also an opportunity for rebirth. According to historical performance, from the perspective of serving as a leader of power, Sun Ce is obviously better than blue.
In fact, after Sun Ce defected to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's reaction was quite wonderful.
Yuan Shu went out of the city for 30 miles to meet Sun Jian's coffin, wept while supporting the coffin, and said in public, "Wentai is my brother, Bofu is my son" with sincere affection, and everyone who heard it was moved.
If Sun Ce hadn't declined Yuan Shu's proposal to accept him as his adoptive son on the grounds that his dead father's bones were not yet cold and he had not yet killed his enemies, Sun Ce might have changed his name to Yuan Ce.
Although he was rejected, Yuan Shu was not angry at all, and his cousin Sun Ce was the captain of Polu. According to Sun Ce's request, he ordered Sun Jian's old troops to station in Chaoyang County to confront Liu Biao's army not far away.
