The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Under the moonlight, in the light of the fire, among the thousands of troops and horses, Sun Jian's heroic appearance of riding a spear and wielding a spear was deeply engraved in Xun Zhen's heart. .+?(.+bsp;\\s*

Xun Zhen was also known as a heroic warrior in Yingchuan County. Since he crossed the border, he knew that the troubled times were coming. In addition to studying the scriptures and studying the law, he had been battered since he was a teenager, practiced horseback archery, and learned the art of fencing. It is heroic, not mammoth. Heroic warrior, handsome and brave. Fierce predators, fierce and powerful. Fierce, healthy dogs, birds of prey, and eagles. The ferocity of this kind of fierce attack is related to the character of the person and cannot be learned.

Sun Jian is a man of prey.

Han Dang and Cheng Pu followed him and rushed out from the enemy's siege, and then Zu Mao came out with the rest of his troops.

Xun Zhen seized the opportunity and shouted, "Accept Sima!"

Gao Su, Chen Bao, and Cheng Yan shouted, "Accompany Sima."

Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, and Liu Deng also shouted in front: "Accept Sima!"

Shizhang Shi, the halberd fighter, and the sword-wielding fighter then shouted in unison: "Respond to Sima!" This voice was like a wave, the wave in front just retreated, and the wave in the back came again. This Houlang was the five or six hundred troops led by Wu Jing. The five or six hundred people rushed to the rear of Xun Zhen's formation and shouted, "Save Sima! Kill it!"

The two sides closed together, seven or eight hundred people fought bravely again, slaughtered the remaining soldiers of the Yellow Turbans in front of them, and joined Sun Jian's troops. Sun Jian took five or six hundred people across the river, and the hundred people that Cheng Pu brought over, originally a total of six or seven hundred people. At this point in the battle, half of the casualties were small. Sun Jian killed less than five hundred people, and most of them were injured. They have been fighting for a long time and have long been exhausted, but they are expected to break through. They all cheered up, and they don't know where the strength came from. They just followed Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang in front of them and worked hard to move forward under the supervision of Zu Mao. He rushed to kill, and finally joined forces with Xun Zhen and others.

Xun Zhen shouted to Sun Jian from a distance in the headquarters, "Sima! I'll clear the way for you, you follow us!" As he spoke, the commanders turned their heads back.

This time, the sword-wielding warriors are the forwards, and the long-halberd warriors and the Jian-zhang warriors are at the rear.

Since they went ashore, most of the enemies were killed by the halberds and the squatters, and they were also exhausted.

Gao Su is a self-proclaimed hero, and has always thought of himself as brave. When he saw Jiang Qin, Liu Deng, and Xu Zhong rushing forward, he was already scratching his head and scratching his cheeks. He waved his saber and rushed forward from Xun Zhen's side, shouting, "I'm here to get into the battle!"

Wu Jing led the group and rushed past Xun Zhen's formation, joined Sun Jian, Han Dang and the others. The guards surrounded the soldiers who rushed out of the surrounding area, wrapped them and retreated with Xun Zhen.

Sun Jian, however, refused to sit back and enjoy his success. He rode on the horse and looked at the yellow turban soldiers near and far. Heng Liao smiled and said to Xun Zhen, "You are here to save me, how can Jian sit and watch your battle? You should be side by side with you to kill thieves!" Riding forward, bypassing Wu Jing and the others, and heading straight to the front of Xun Zhen's formation, the other two cavalry followed closely, but it was Han Dang and Cheng Pu.

Sun Jian commanded with his spear and instructed the commander: "Yi Gong, you are on my left side. Demou, you go on my right. Lord Xun, regardless of death, killed us from the thieves in order to save us, and now we are the forerunner of Lord Xun. !"

The three cavalry formed a triangle, with Sun Jian holding his spear in front, Han Dang pulling his bow in the left rear, and Cheng Pu swinging his iron spear in the right rear, attacking the prey, walking like a tiger galloping, moving like a wolf bite. After Xun Zhen and the others changed the direction of their attack, the Yellow Turban soldiers who were originally behind them became in front of them. There were not many of these Yellow Turban soldiers, and most of them had been attacked by Xun Zhen and Wu Jing twice in succession. After being scattered, they gathered again, and now they were attacked by Sun Jian's three cavalry, causing chaos.

Gao Su watched Sun Jian's three cavalry pass over them, and went forward like a ravaged forest. Eating ashes in the back.

Originally it was Xun Zhen who rescued Sun Jian, but in an instant it was Sun Jian who opened the way for Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen looked at Sun Jian's aggressive attacking posture, and said to himself, "What a Jiangdong tiger, he doesn't want to fall behind!"

Looking from the other side, Xun Zhen first rushed ashore, and was surrounded by the Yellow Turbans more than 20 paces away. Then Wu Jing led his troops, and the line that followed Xun Zhen also rushed into the Yellow Turbans' siege. After that, Sun Jian jumped on his horse and rushed out from the Yellow Turbans, then joined forces on both sides, Xun Zhen's troops turned to the rear, and then Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang rushed forward from the Xun Zhen formation. Pass, kill to the front.

It was only about twenty steps away from the shore, and the Yellow Turban soldiers in front were loosely formed. There were less than two hundred soldiers. Almost instantly, Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang rushed to the shore.

Prefect Wen was stunned when he saw it. Originally, Liu Deng's unstoppable rush from the river to the shore was brave enough. Unexpectedly, after Sun Jian's prancing horse appeared, he only blinked twice. When he looked again, Sun Jian had already dashed to the shore. He asked in surprise, "Is this person Sun Sima?" Although he was presbyopic, he could still recognize Sun Jian from a distance of more than ten meters. The reason why he asked this question was because he couldn't believe it.

Zhu Jun and Sun Jian are small villagers. Kuaiji County and Wu County are adjacent to each other. They are both from Yangzhou. After seeing the bravery of Liu Deng and other Yingchuan men, they look at Sun Jian again. He feels very proud. After breaking out of the siege, the soldiers who crossed the river must be able to return smoothly. After a long time, the heart relaxed for it. He stroked his beard and smiled, and said quite arrogantly: "Not bad."

Prefect Wen exclaimed in admiration: "After fighting for a long time, he is still as fierce as a tiger, and he is also a strong and handsome general!"

When Sun Jian reached the shore, he did not go directly into the river, but turned his horse's head and led Cheng Pu and Han Dang to fight with the yellow turban skirmishers who came from around, waiting for Xun Zhen to arrive.

Gao Su rushed to the scene, soldiers armed with knives and armour came to kill him, and Xun Zhen came under the **** of Cheng Yan, Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, Liu Deng and others.

"Please go first!" Sun Jian pointed his spear not far away, "The thief's cavalry is approaching, and I will stand up for you." Not far away, the cavalry brigade of the Yellow Turban Army used horse whips to disperse the infantry in the way, and hurried over here. .

After fighting for so long, when surrounded by the Yellow Turbans, Sun Jian broke through many times. Until now, he didn't show any signs of exhaustion.

Xun Zhen looked up at his majestic appearance, and immediately led the crowd down the river without refusing to refuse.

After they crossed the river, Wu Jing and others followed. Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang galloped on the shore again and again. Han Dang drew his bow and shot arrows and shot three arrows in a row, knocking down the Yellow Turban knights who had finally reached the front. Man, when you touch the quiver again, the quiver is empty. This time he crossed the river with three quivers. After a battle, all three quivers were empty. Sun Jian said, "Let's go!" The three of them pulled their horses down the river and walked towards the other side.

Zhu Jun had been waiting for Sun Jian to cross the river for a long time. At this time, he saw that he had descended into the river with three horses, and the enemy on the bank seemed to be chasing after him, so he immediately ordered: "Archery!"

After Xi Zhicai and Xuan Kang heard it, they immediately raised their flags and waved them. The three river knights and Jian Zhangshi who were on the bank pulled the strings one after another, and shot arrows like a torrential rain toward the opposite bank. There were many Yellow Turban infantry and knights who wanted to chase after Xun Zhen and Sun Jian. Seeing this situation, the governor could no longer do anything, and the team led by Qu Shuai and Xiao Shuai stopped chasing, retreated to a safe place, and watched Xun Zhen and Sun Jian go ashore, utterly helpless.

Xun Zhen, Sun Jian and others came ashore one after another.

The Sanhe knights, Jianzhangshi, Yueqi battalion soldiers and thousands of foot soldiers who were on the shore watched them fight on the other side. What they saw earlier was blood boiling, and they all raised their weapons and cheered loudly.

Seeing the excited cheers from the crowd, Zhu Jun nodded secretly, thinking: "Although the crossing of the river was unsuccessful, fortunately, the morale has not been lowered. This is all the merit of chastity and perseverance."

When the two armies confront each other, if one side is slow to line up, the other side will often "choose the sharp ones", which is called swept the array to show courage, and it is to boost the fighting spirit and morale of one's own side. Xun Zhen went to rescue Sun Jian this time. Although Sun Jian was trapped in front, the brave performances of Liu Deng, Sun Jian and others also played a role in boosting morale. Although the Yellow Turbans were numerous, there was not a single Sun Jian left behind by several thousand cavalry, which was despised.

Sun Jian was the last to land on the shore, Xun Zhen had been waiting for him for a long time, and hurried up to meet him. Sun Jian got off his horse and threw away his spear. The two of them held hands and looked at each other. They both had blood-stained clothes and armor. Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Now that I see Sima's bravery, I know what a tiger is. My Yingyin breasted tiger is a fake tiger, Sima, you are the real tiger!"

This time, he crossed the river to rescue Sun Jian, but Sun Jian stole all the limelight at the end. Xun Zhen had no complaints about this, but thought to himself, "Remember that when Cao Cao heard that Sun Ce had settled Jiangdong, he was at a loss, and said One sentence: 'Rabid is difficult to fight against', the son is like this, let alone his father? Now that I see Sun Jian rushing into battle, I know what the tiger of Jiangdong is." Rai, the meaning of rabid dog and fierce dog, Cao Cao said that Sun Ce was "Rai'er" , although it is abusive words, plus the words "difficulty and struggle", but it also shows the courage of Sun Ce. A tiger father has no dog.

Sun Jian smiled and said, "If it wasn't for Jun to save him, even if Jian was a real tiger, he would turn into a dead tiger tonight!" He withdrew his hand, bowed down with a solemn face, and said, "You are just acquaintances for the first time, and Jun did not hesitate to save Jian. Since you have fallen into danger and fought **** battles to the death, the grace of saving your life will surely be repaid!" Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao, Wu Jing and others also bowed down and said in unison: "The grace of saving life will surely be repaid! "

Sun Jian's bow seemed normal, to thank him for saving his life, but in fact it was not easy.

Before joining the army, Sun Jian was "less a county official", and was "remarkable" because of his plans to kill pirates. He was designated a "fake captain" by the county government for his morale. The following year, Xuchang and Xu Shao's father and son revolted, he was appointed as the county Sima again, and he led the troops to participate in the quelling of the rebellion. At the age of eighteen. County Sima, Sima is the main soldier, this position is not set up in the county, and if it is located in the frontier or southern war-torn counties, it is equivalent to the county soldier Cao Ye.

In pacifying the rebellion between Xuchang and Xu Shao's father and son, he made contributions and was then moved to Yandu Cheng, who was only twenty-one years old at the time. The county magistrate is already a "Ming Qing", and the appointment and removal are from the imperial court. According to the size of the county, the rank is between 200 stone and 400 stone. Then, now, he was invited by Zhu Jun to serve as the Sima of the Army, with a rank of 600 shi, and 600 shi was already a "subordinate doctor", and more than 600 shi was regarded as a high-ranking official.

Xun Zhen is currently only Cao Ye, a county soldier, which means that he is equivalent to Sun Jian's post in Fang's eighteenth year.

Although Sun Jian was born in a poor family, his career in the later period was not smooth. From serving as the chief Yandu to Sima Qian, he served as the county chief of three counties in seven or eight years, but he was not able to go further. On the other hand, despite his low position, Xun Zhen, However, he is a son of a noble family, and his future prospects may be unlimited, but in any case, only in terms of identity and age, Sun Jian is older and higher, but he bows down to Xun Zhen, who is young and low-ranking. It's absolutely impossible to do. This has something to do with Sun Jian's nature. He came from a poor family, and doesn't pay much attention to etiquette. He is a person who "takes his role lightly", so he does not despise others with his identity.

Xun Zhen hurriedly helped him up and said, "Even though I have known you for the first time, I am still in the same robe as you, and I am in a hurry. It is my duty to help him. How dare you accept this gift!" He lifted Sun Jian up.

Don't say thank you, just express your heart. Sun Jian is not a mother-in-law, so he held Xun Zhen's hand again, and the two smiled at each other again.

The Han's handshake, although its form is the same as the handshake of later generations, has a very different meaning. People who aren't close don't shake hands. A handshake represents trust and closeness.

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian shook hands twice, indicating that Xun Zhen had gained Sun Jian's friendship.

Xun Zhen held Sun Jian's hand, and said in a self-deprecating manner, "It's not worth my life to die!"

He laughed at himself, and admired Sun Jian very much. He was also very happy to have Sun Jian's friendship. After all, Sun Jian was the founder of the famous Tiger of Jiangdong and Sun Wu, one of the Three Kingdoms. Among the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, he was one of the few.

Bo Cai came with the main force, but unfortunately it was too late.

Zhu Jun and the others watched him and saw that the Yellow Turbans on the other side were gathering more and more, with banners like forests, swords and spears like mountains and forests. From time to time, there are people in armor and swords, with their own soldiers, galloping to the shore to watch the military situation here, and then galloping back, these are the newcomers to the Yellow Turban Army Qu Shuai and Xiaoshuai. I saw Bo Cai's flag from a distance, but Bo Cai didn't come to the shore. Maybe it was because Zhu Jun's bow and crossbow were known to be powerful, and he was afraid that if he got too close, he would be hit by an arrow.

Zhu Jun and others watched and waited for a long time. The Yellow Turbans were only making noise on the shore. Many people shuttled back and forth between the formation and the shore, but they never heard the other party's order to drum and march. Everyone knew that this must be when Bo Cai saw that the river was half-dry, and guessed that Zhu Jun had blocked the upper reaches. Attacked across the river.

This is not to say that Pocai is smarter than Dragon. Long Qie had "defeated" Han Xin at the time, thinking that Han Xin was defeated and wanted to take advantage of the victory, so he crossed the river, but now that Sun Jian has returned, the two sides are out of the battle. Although he really wanted to attack, he hesitated again and again, but still did not issue an order to cross the river.

It will be dawn.

It is not a problem for tens of thousands of people to look across the river. Xun Zhen said: "General, the main force of the thieves has reached the other side. We are afraid that it will be difficult to cross the river, so it is better to retreat for the time being."

Zhu Jun nodded and said, "Even though the thieves were overwhelmed and unable to cross the river tonight, Xun Ye fought with Wentai to cross the river and came and went freely among the thousands of thieves, but it can be seen that the thieves are really unbearable! Let the soldiers rest for a while, and then defeat this little thief.”

Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs, and Zhu Jun is also a man of resolute character. He will not be depressed and lost because of his failure to cross the river tonight, and he will not be ashamed in front of everyone. Foot Sleep Chapter]. After receiving his order, the troops of all units moved backward one by one and left the shore. In order to prepare for the attack of Po Cai crossing the river, Zhu Jun personally reared.

Po Cai did not pursue.

After dawn, we returned to towel car township.

Last night I had to thank the Yellow Turbans for the first battle. The Yellow Turbans were in the end an army of supporters of farmers. Although Bo Cai and He Man were small and resourceful, most of Qu Shuai and Xiao Shuai did not know the military. If the Yellow Turbans who were in ambush last night did not rise up after Sun Jian crossed the river, but continued to wait, waiting for more people to cross the river before attacking, even if Zhu Jun's 10,000-odd cavalry were able to win, they would have to suffer. Lost a lot.

Zhu Jun invited Prefect Wen, Fei Chang, Xun Zhen and his generals to hold a military meeting.

Now that the Yellow Turbans are prepared, it will not be easy to cross the river again. Forced crossing, casualties will be great.

Zhu Jun invited everyone to come to discuss the matter of crossing the river and see if there is another way.

Some people suggested that it would be better to divert to Dingling and cross the river from Dingling. Dingling is located in the northeast of Kunyang, at the intersection of Shushui and Rushui, ten miles away from Kunyang.

Zhu Jun rejected this opinion.

If he chose Dingling, he would have gone to Dingling last night. He didn't go because it was far away. It would take two or three days to get there, and it would take another two or three days to cross the river to Kunyang. A total of five or six days' journey, which means that it would take more than two or three days to travel. It took Bo Cai and He Man five or six days to attack Wuyang. He was in a hurry to fight Kunyang, just to save Wuyang, let alone five or six days, Wuyang was besieged for many days, and when he reached the limit early, he was afraid that he would not be able to defend for two days. Therefore, it is not possible to cross the river in Dingling.

He said: "If we go to Dingling to cross the river, the bandit soldiers will definitely divide their troops to attack Wuyang after hearing the news. In five or six days, enough bandit troops will be able to capture Wuyang. If Wuyang falls, the bandit troops will enter within 20 miles of the south. Nanyang County, less than ten miles southeast, you will enter Runan County. Runan and Nanyang thieves each have hundreds of thousands, plus Bo Cai and He Man, the combined army will number 200,000. General Huangfu and I will join forces. The army led by a total of only more than 40,000 people, although not afraid of thieves, but it will take some effort to annihilate them. The army has been away for a long time. You are worried, you can’t save the people’s suffering, gentlemen, if such a situation occurs, wouldn’t you be ashamed? Therefore, we must never give the thieves a chance to attack Wuyang and go south! Therefore, we cannot cross the river from Dingling.”

Don't cross the river from Dingling, only by force. Forced crossing, we have to wait for Bocai to bring the main force back to the city before we can talk about it.

After discussing for a long time, the final decision was made: send a sentry to the other side to observe the enemy's situation, wait for Bo Cai to lead his troops back to the city, and then choose a place and time to cross the river.

After discussing the military, Zhu Jun said with a smile: "You have worked hard all night to fight. Xun Ye and Wentai crossed the river and rushed into battle, killing more than a thousand enemies. The small creation of thieves and soldiers raised the spirit of Master Wang! I will report the credit to both of you. The court, please give you a reward for your merits and deeds! It's almost noon, you don't leave, you stay for dinner."

All promise.

Xun Zhen said in his heart: "'Crossing the river and rushing into the formation, killing more than a thousand enemies, making small creations of thieves, raising the spirit of Master Wang'. Although the battle last night was hard, the number of enemies killed was far less than a thousand people, only four or five hundred people. Zhu Jun is exaggerating the military exploits of me and Sun Jian." Exaggeration of military exploits is also a common thing. Only by exaggerating military exploits can we get a great reward from the court, and can also make the enemy feel fearless and make his subordinates high-spirited.

Zhu Jun stayed for lunch at noon. After the meal, everyone returned to their accounts.

Yesterday, after walking all day, and fighting in the middle of the night, Xun Zhen was exhausted. When she arrived at the tent, she asked about the situation of the dead and wounded. She ordered Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin and the others to arrange a post and fall asleep.

He slept drowsily, and only woke up at night.

When he woke up and opened his eyes, there was a person sitting on the opposite seat, leaning against the table, with one hand on the table, looking at him with a smile.

"Ah? Sun Sima, why are you here?"

Xun Zhen stiffened, her eyes were dull, she rubbed her hands twice, complaining about Cheng Yan, who was standing at the gate of the tent, "Why didn't you call me?" asked Sun Jian, "When did Sima come? How long have you been waiting?"

Cheng Yan is loyal. He followed Xun Zhen across the river to fight last night. He was also very tired. Xun Zhen told him to go to sleep before going to bed, but he refused to do so and insisted on guarding the tent. At this moment, Xun Zhen complained, he scratched his head and smirked. Xun Zhen waved her hand and said, "Go, go, I'm awake, you go to sleep!" Cheng Yan glanced at Sun Jian, saluted, promised to leave, and ordered a few words from outside the tent to the guards who took over before leaving. .

Sun Jian watched him leave, turned his head and said with a smile, "I didn't let Ayan call you! Xun Jun, we had a life-and-death relationship during the battle last night. Why are you still so out of touch?"

"Si Ma is old, how can I make Sima Ku wait for me?"

"Hey, when you talk about life and death friendship, you are still so outspoken! What is a Sima who is not a Sima, what is a military Sima? I am indeed a few years older than you, Xun Jun, if you have no opinion, you and I will be brothers in the future. commensurate, how?"

Of course Xun Zhen couldn't get what he wanted. He was delighted when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Since the brothers are equal, why does the eldest brother still call Zhen 'Jun'?"

Sun Jian laughed and said, "It's mine, isn't it! Brother ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Brother."

The wind of sworn worship is absent in Han fashion, but there are also brothers who are congenial. After calling this, the two felt very different when they looked at each other again, and they smiled at each other again.

That night, Sun Jian stayed in Xun Zhen's tent.

The moonlight penetrated from outside the tent, the two of them slept together, talked about the war, talked about the horrors of last night, talked about each other's experiences, and talked about the heroes of Yingchuan County and Wu County. until dawn.

——

1. The wind of sworn worship is not available in Han fashion.

Zhou Zui, a Jin native, recorded in the "Records of Fengtu": "Being more vulgar and simple, at the beginning, you should be polite to people, seal the altar, and sacrifice chickens and dogs. I wish you: 'Your Excellency will take a car and I will wear a hat, and I will get off the car the day after tomorrow to greet each other. I walk, the king rides the horse, and the next day I meet the king." The Han people's **** was probably learned from the ethnic minorities, and by the end of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it had become a more popular custom.
