At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were frequent wars and wars between the masses, and although the struggle between the princes brought great harm to the common people, it also gave many cold disciples and depressed fierce people the opportunity to make meritorious achievements. Speaking of the first general of the Three Kingdoms, everyone in the world will admire Lü Bu's bravery, Zhang Fei's strength, and Guan Yu's loyalty. However, before these people became famous, the name of the world's first general was occupied by others, and he was Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong.
From the perspective of strength, Sun Jian should not be the first person of the general. Not to mention that Lü Bu stabilized him, when the Eighteen Town Princes were fighting Dong Zhuo, no one could fight with Lü Bu alone, and even during the Central Plains Melee, they repeatedly defeated Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Looking at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei again, cutting off the face of good and ugly, after five levels and cutting six generals, not to mention, flooding the Seventh Army, Wei Zhen Huaxia's battle record is not something that anyone can achieve. Zhang Fei was even more courageous, and Cao Cao carved his name inside the brocade robe in order to guard against this leopard-headed and ring-eyed guy day and night.
So, why should we say that Sun Jian was the first fierce general in the early Three Kingdoms period? It is precisely because before others became famous, Sun Jian's achievements were shocking to the world. Sun Jian's family has lived in Wudi for generations, and many pirates have harassed merchant ships and looted property. Once Sun Jian encountered a pirate, not only did not hold his head like others, but also carried a knife forward to fight. As Sun Jian walked, he commanded from east to west with his hands, as if he were dispatching and deploying people to encircle and round up the pirates. The pirates saw this from afar, mistakenly believing that the officers and soldiers had come to arrest them, panicked, threw away their goods, and fled in all directions.
After the Outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Sun Jian surrendered his army to quell the rebellion and went to the Central Plains to fight everywhere. The commanders of the official army, Emperor Fusong and Zhu Juan, appreciated Sun Jian's talents and specially recruited him to fight in Xia pi. Whenever Sun Jian led the troops in battle, he would always be on his own, personally risking the stone and taking the lead as a soldier. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion was settled, Sun Jian followed the army to Xiliang to fight against bianzhang and han sui rebellion. Dong Zhuo came to this place one step ahead, and the merits he had achieved were not even as good as Sun Jian's gains in a few days, which showed Sun Jian's strength. The imperial court naturally regarded Sun Jian as a firefighter and sent him to Changsha to suppress the rebellion.
When the princes of the Eighteen Towns rebelled against Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, led his troops and Yuan Shao to join forces and became the vanguard of the allied forces. The prestige of the fierce tigers in Jiangdong was not in vain, and when Dong Zhuo heard that Sun Jian had entered the army, he immediately sent Hu Yun as the protector of Dadu and Lü Bu as the riding governor, with 5,000 men and horses, to meet the attack. However, Hu Yun and Lü Bu did not get along well, and Hu Yun was only able to sneak into Sun Jian's camp with his own soldiers and horses. As a result, he was attacked by Sun Jian instead, and in the darkness of the night, the soldiers did not know the true or false, disturbed the escape, abandoned their armor, and lost their saddle horses, which was very embarrassing. Under the pursuit of Sun Jian, Hu Yi's entire army was defeated, and his subordinate Governor Huaxiong was also beheaded. That's right, it wasn't guan Yu who slashed Huaxiong with warm wine in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but this Jiangdong tiger!
Sun Jian's battle was famous all over the world, and When Dong Zhuo saw that he was so powerful, he first sent envoys to show his goodwill and expressed his willingness to marry Sun Jian for the good of Qin and Jin. After being rejected, Dong Zhuo personally led the main force to meet Sun Jian. Faced with a huge gap in military strength, Sun Jian did not fear and retreated, but even took the initiative to meet the battle, killing Dong Zhuo to a great defeat, and escaping under the cover of Lü Bu. Sun Jian swung his troops and attacked Luoyang, engaging Lü Bu, who was eventually defeated and defeated, and Sun Jian's army entered Luoyang. It should be known that among the Kwantung heroes who fought against Dong Zhuo, Sun Jianjun was the only army that had engaged in several head-on confrontations with Dong Zhuo's army and won great victories.
Unfortunately, this Jiangdong tiger eventually lost to politics. After obtaining the jade seal in Luoyang, Sun Jian broke away from the Allies and returned to Jiangdong. Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, wanted to capture Yuxi, but did not dare to confront Sun Jian head-on, so he secretly wrote to Liu Biao in Jingzhou and set up an ambush on Sun Jian's Banshi Road. In the end, Sun Jian was killed by the enemy's random arrows, and a generation of fierce tigers fell to the stars.
