Sun Jian divided his troops on all sides and surrounded Xiangyang to attack. Suddenly, one day, a fierce wind suddenly rose, blowing the flag pole of the Chinese army 'Shuai' character. Han Dang said, "This is probably not an auspicious omen, but I can leave the class teacher for the time being." Sun Jian said, "I have won many battles and victories, and now I have only taken Xiangyang in the blink of an eye; how can I suddenly strike because of the wind breaking the flag pole?" So he did not listen to Han Dang's words and issued an order to seize the siege.
Qu Liang said to Liu, "I looked at the sky at night and saw a star crumbling. Speculating from the position of the astrological region, it should be on Sun Jian. The lord could quickly write to Yuan Shao and ask him to send troops to help. Liu Biao wrote a letter and asked who dared to break through, and the jian general Lü Gong should be willing to go. Qu Liang said, "Since you dare to go, you can do as I plan: give you five hundred troops and horses, and take more people who are good at archery to rush out of the battle, and then go straight to Da Nang Mountain." Sun Jian will surely lead an army to chase, and you will divide a hundred people up the mountain to find stones to prepare; another hundred people will ambush in the forest with crossbows. But when a pursuing soldier arrives, it is not allowed to march straight; it can be circling and twisting, leading to the place of ambush, and the arrows and stones are fired in unison. If you can win, put up the Lianzhu cannon, and the city will send troops to meet it. If there is no pursuing soldier, do not release the cannon, and directly rush away. Tonight the moon is dim and dark, and you can go out of the city at dusk. ”
Lü Gong listened to Ku Liang's strategy, packed up his military horses, and at dusk, secretly opened the east gate and led his troops out of the city. Sun Jian was in the tent, overheard shouting outside, hurriedly got on his horse and took more than thirty horses, and went out of the camp to see. The sergeant reported: "A puma man and horse came out and went to Da Nang Mountain. Sun Jian did not meet the generals, but only took more than thirty horses and then chased after them. Lü Gong had already set up an ambush in the chaotic place of the mountains and forests. Sun Jian's horse was fast, riding alone to chase after him, and seeing that there was a military horse not far in front of him, Sun Jian shouted: "Hugh go!" Lü Gongle returned to the horse's head and turned around to fight Sun Jian. The two horses intersected, and after only one battle, Lü Gong rode away and hid in the mountain road. Sun Jian then chased after him and entered the mountain road, but he did not see Lü Gong. Sun Jianfang wanted to go up the mountain, but he overheard a gong sounding, and the stones on the mountain fell haphazardly, and arrows were fired randomly in the forest. Sun Jian's body was hit by arrows and stones, and his brain plasma burst out, and all the people and horses died in Da Nang Mountain; he was only thirty-seven years old when he died.

Lü Gong intercepted the remaining thirty horses, killed them all, and released the Lianzhu cannon. In the city, Huang Zu, Ku Yue, and Cai Mao led their troops out separately, and the armies in Jiangdong were in chaos. Huang Gai heard the shouts and led the water army to kill, facing Huang Zu, fighting less than two, and capturing Huang Zu. Cheng Pu was protecting Sun Ce, anxious to find a way, and met Lü Gong. Cheng Pu rode forward, and within a few rounds of battle, a spear stabbed Lü Gong under the horse. The two armies fought until dawn before they each received their own armies.
Huang Gai captures Huang Zu
Liu Biaojun returned to the city victoriously. When Sun Ce returned to Hanshui, he learned that his father had been shot dead by random arrows, and the corpse had also been carried into the city by Liu Biao's sergeant, and he couldn't help but cry loudly, and all the troops also cried bitterly. Sun Ce said, "My father's body is now in Liu Biao's place, how can he return to his hometown?" Huang Gai said, "Now that Huang Zu is captured alive here, you can send one person into the city to talk about peace, and use Huang Zu to exchange it for the corpse of the lord." Before the words could be heard, the military official Huan Jie came out and said, "I have had contacts with Liu Biao in the past and am willing to enter the city as an envoy." Sun Ce agreed.
Huan Jie entered the city to see Liu Biao and expressed his intentions in detail. Liu Biao said, "Wentai corpse, I have stored it here in a coffin." It can be quickly released back to Huang Zu, and the two families have their own troops, and they will not infringe on it again. "Huan Jie thank you and prepare to go back." Xiaxia Kura came out, "No! cannot! I have a word that can make the Jiangdong armies not return. Please chop the steps first, and then use the meter. Qu Liang continued, "Now that Sun Jian is dead, his sons are all young." At this time, Jiangdong was weak and marched quickly. The land of Jiangdong is within reach. If Sun Jian's body is returned, the two sides will strike off and allow Jiangdong to cultivate strength, which will become a plague in Jingzhou in the future. Liu Biao said, "I have Huang Zu in the Jiangdong camp, how can I bear to abandon it?" Ku Liang said, "Why can't you take the land of Jiangdong without a plan for Huang Zu?" Liu Biao said, "I am friends with Huang Zu's confidants, and it is really unrighteous to abandon them." So he sent Huan Jie back to the camp and met to exchange Sun Jian's body for Huang Zu.
Sun Ce sent back Huang Zu as promised, greeted Sun Jian's coffin, returned to Jiangdong after the strike, and buried his father in an open place in Qu'a. After the funeral, Sun Ce garrisoned the army in Jiangdu and recruited talents. Because Sun Ce was humbled to others, the four parties haojie gradually came to the same level.
