"After Liu Miao lost Qu'a, he retreated to Wu County from the waterway, but Beigu Mountain has been captured by our army, so Liu Miao did not dare to stay in the north of Wu County, and he expected that the disparity with the strength of our army was too great, so he wisely abandoned the two counties of Dantu and Biling, and directly retreated to Shenting Ridge, which has been a dangerous barrier since the Spring and Autumn Period, and has been operated by the monarchs of previous dynasties, which is quite easy to defend and difficult to attack!" Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This old fox, no wonder he fled frantically all the way south, it turned out that he was not running away, did he have already planned to stop our army in front of this Shenting Ridge?" Gao Yi, who was dressed in military uniform, looked at the map and said hatefully.

"Report to the lord, Lord Sun Ce has also arrived with his army!" a small soldier came to report to Gao Yi.

"It's really slow enough!" Lu Meng muttered, looking at Gao Yi, "Lord, even if Sun Ce comes, what can he do, the difficulty of attacking this Shenting Ridge is not something that can be reduced with more manpower!"

Gao Yi frowned: "Let's go see Sun Ce first!"

"Uncle Gao, what are you doing so fast, my army can't catch up with you!" Before they could get out of the tent, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu rushed over on horseback with a few soldiers.

Gao Yi said with a smile: "Who let you recruit so many people at once, five hundred and five thousand people are not the same concept, now I know that it is not pleasant to lead a lot of troops!"

"Indeed, these people joined the army just with enthusiasm, but they don't know the danger of fighting!" Sun Ce said to Gao Yi with a smile, "It's really hard to imagine that Uncle Gao's men and horses are nearly 100,000, how do you command them well!"

"It's very simple!" Gao Yi said, "After all, a person's ability is limited, you have to learn to divide a little power to your subordinates, give them some autonomy and freedom, so as not to plunge the entire army into chaos when there is an emergency on the battlefield! After all, you yourself are just one person, it is impossible to personally approach every corner of the battlefield, your people can not be there, but you must ensure that your heart is there, your spirit is there, and your soul is there!"

"Oh!" Sun Ce lowered his head and thought for a moment, and smiled mysteriously, "It's so profound, but it feels very reasonable!"

"Don't talk about so much fiction, let's talk about something realistic!" Zhou Yu also walked over and said, "Bo Fu's troops are coming slowly not only because of lack of training, but also because we have spent a lot of energy investigating the surrounding terrain of this Shenting Ridge, and the result is very disappointing, and we only have to close this path!"

Lu Meng cut off: "Isn't that a bunch of useless work?"

"Not necessarily!" Gao Yi said, "The art of war pays attention to fiction and reality, we might as well claim that we have found a shortcut, and then lead Liu Xuan to attack!"

"Oh?" Zhou Yu said with interest, "Didn't Liu Xuan stick to it for many days? he may not be so easily fooled, right?"

"That's because he has few people, and he's been waiting for Ziyi and Yan Baihu's reinforcements!" Gao Yi said.

"General Taishi!" Lu Meng's eyes lit up, "Yes, how did I forget him, as long as we come to meet inside and outside, the end of Liu Miao will come!"

Gao Yi nodded: "It's time for Ziyi to come out!"

In the Shenting Ridge, Liu Miao is worried, Gao Yi has been stationed in front of the pass for a long time, and he does not organize an army to attack, it seems that he also sees that the Shenting Ridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but why he does not fight or withdraw, this is puzzling.

"Lord, Tai Shici's letter, he has now led his troops to Fengqiao, and it is estimated that he will arrive at the Divine Pavilion in a few days!"

Zhang Ying said on the side: "Lord, this Tai Shici has an old relationship with Gao Yi, isn't the lord worried about him getting through Gao Yi and Sun Ce?"

Liu Xuan said: "After all, we are fellow villagers, Gao Yi is also a thief, I understand Ziyi's character, I was just bewitched before, and I don't worry about leaving him in Jing County!"

Zhang Yingdao: "Since this is the case, it is better to wait for Tai Shi Ci to come and send him to fight Gao Yi Sun Ce and them, so as to see whether his surrender lord is true or false!"

Liu Miao nodded: "That's fine!"

Three days later, Tai Shi Ci led thousands of men and horses to the outside of the Shenting Ridge, and was about to enter the pass, but heard a cavalry panting to call the pass: "Hurry up and open the door, I just found out that the enemy general Sun Ce only brought a dozen cavalry, out of the village to the Guangwu Temple on the ridge, go to report to the lord, and quickly send troops, you can arrest Sun Ce!"

The soldier closed and said, "Don't stay there, I'll report to the lord!"

At this time, Tai Shi Ci looked at this cavalry, but he was a little familiar, and after staring for a while, he realized that he was the Yellow Turban soldier under Guan Hai, and the cavalry also saw Tai Shi Ci, but he just smiled quietly and did not speak.

After a while, the soldier reported: "The lord said, this must be Sun Ce's plan to lure the enemy, and it cannot be chased!"

The cavalryman was anxious when he heard this: "How is it possible, you must not have made it clear to the lord, you open the city gate quickly, and I will go and tell the lord in person!"

The soldier was furious: "This is the word of the lord, believe it or not!"

"Damn!" the cavalryman said, "Can you afford to take responsibility for delaying the military aircraft?"

At this time, Tai Shici suddenly said to the cavalryman: "What you said is the truth?"

"Who is the general?" the cavalryman deliberately looked at Tai Shici with a blank expression.

"I'm Tai Shi Ci, a native of the Lord Township, and I just came from Jing County to support the Lord to resist the enemy, these are my soldiers and horses!" said Tai Shi Ci and pointed back to the thousands of people behind him.

The cavalryman said: "It turned out to be General Tai Shici, everything the villain said is true, and he doesn't dare to have half a lie!"

Tai Shi Ci smiled and said: "Since you said that Sun Ce only brought a dozen cavalry to the Guangwu Temple, if this is the case, these thousands of my men and horses are enough to kill him hundreds of times, right?

The cavalry was overjoyed: "This is very good, the general is really fierce, I will lead the way for the general!"

The soldier said, "Isn't General Taishi going to enter the pass?"

Tai Shi Ci turned around and said, "Send a message to the lord for me, saying that I will give him a gift with Sun Ce's head in a while!" and then rushed to Guangwu Temple with thousands of people.

Shenting Ling, outside the Guangwu Temple, Sun Ce was taking Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Song Lian and others to speak: "I dreamed that Guangwu summoned me to meet at night, I don't want to have a Guangwu Temple here, if I can establish a business in Jiangdong and revive my father's foundation, I must rebuild the temple and sacrifice at four o'clock!"

Cheng Pu smiled: "Hasn't the general always believed in gods?"

"It's not that you don't believe it, it's not that you don't say it!" Sun Ce said.

"Don't say anything?" everyone wondered, "Is there a difference?"

"Yes, and it's a big difference!" Sun Ce said heavily. This kind of thing of gods originally originated from the awe of nature of human beings in the period of barbarism and chaos, and the things imagined out of thin air, of course, believe in it, and if you don't believe in it, you don't believe in it, the so-called Zi Bu Silent Strange Power Chaos God, it's not that they don't believe in ghosts and gods, but they know that there are more important and meaningful things to do in this world, the supreme monarch is Yao Shun, Fang Ze flows all the people, to explore the unknown to solve doubts and solve doubts, to seek their own inner spiritual world, is to use their own efforts and their own strength to change the world, not to rely on the blessing of the gods and ancestors!"

"I see!" Huang Gai suddenly realized, "Then why did you come to this Guangwu Temple today, General?"

Sun Ce said: "I came to pray for blessings, but it is a psychological hint of good wishes in my heart, I know that some things must be done in person, in order to have the possibility of success, otherwise even if there are gods, even if there are gods to protect you, if what you do is heinous, will the gods protect you? If you just pray for blessings and do nothing, is it possible to succeed?"

"The general is wise!" everyone shouted.

Sun Ce didn't speak, but quietly looked into the distance, thinking of far, far away.

"What smell?" Han Dang sniffed strangely, "A smell of fireworks!"

"I smell it too!" Song Lian said, then turned his head around strangely, and finally saw the light of a blazing fire on a hillside not far away, and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no, it's on fire!"

Sun Ce looked over with everyone, and sure enough, there was a fire on the hillside at some point, it was early spring, the grass and trees were dry and more, and a fire broke out, and soon spread throughout the entire hillside, and I vaguely heard someone on the opposite side shouting: "Help!"

"Oh no! someone is trapped inside!" Sun Ce immediately flew on his horse after confirming the voice, and the rest of the people also got on their horses and followed Sun Ce to the hillside.

But the problem soon came, turning the hillside, only to find that the fire was even bigger than expected, and the hillside was full of large and small graves, and soon Sun Ce understood the cause of the fire.

"Because today is the annual cold food festival on the fifth day of the fourth month of April, according to legend, one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Wengong was able to wander the countries and finally became the lord of a country largely thanks to the assistance of his important minister Jie Zitui, but after Jin Wengong sat on the throne of the monarch, Jie Zitui did not appreciate it at all, and couldn't help but refuse the high official position, and ran to the mountain with his mother to escape, Jin Wengong was angry and ordered to burn the mountain, even so it did not make Jie Zi Tui succumb, the mother and son were burned alive together, Jin Wen Gong also regretted it, and later descendants in order to commemorate Jie Zi Tui, every year his death day will spontaneously sacrifice, and only eat cold food, so there is a cold food festival this said, and then it became a festival for later generations to sacrifice their ancestors, and now it seems that someone must have accidentally ignited the grass and trees when they burned paper money to worship their ancestors, which caused this fire, lord, eh, lord, what are you going to do......" Cheng Pu gushed out the allusion to the Cold Food Festival, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Sun Ce had rushed into the fire.

The fire was so big that he could barely see anything, but at this moment, there was only a woman's voice in Sun Ce's ears: "Help, help, help...... Fate!"

The voice gradually weakened, but at this time Sun Ce also found her, only to see that she was stumbling in the fire at the moment, falling to the ground from time to time, and struggling to stand up, the dress on her body was already on fire, and it looked like she was about to swallow her!

Sun Ce gave the mount a few whips, quickly came to the woman's side, and stretched out his hand: "Girl, grab my hand!"

"Ahh

Sun Ce tore off the woman's burning dress with a slight force, but it directly caused her to be naked, and she couldn't help but turn red, and immediately ripped off her cloak and wrapped the woman.

"Am I dead?" said the woman, groggily, her voice like a yellow warbler in the woods.

"What's your name, girl!" Sun Ce had already taken her out of the place where the fire had started, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Sun Ce bring a woman out.

"My name is ...... Big Joe!" The woman said this, and she fainted completely.

Sun Ce was taken aback, and took a closer look at this face, it was really Da Qiao! How could she be here?

"Da Qiao, could it be Da Qiao, the eldest daughter of Qiao Gong of the Lujiang Wang Clan?" Cheng Pu was surprised inexplicably, and then opened the conversation again, "According to legend, Qiao Gong has two daughters who were born with the beauty of the country and the beauty of the city......"

But soon he couldn't talk anymore, so a group of hundreds of cavalry suddenly appeared not far behind them, led by Tai Shi Ci and the cavalry before him, Tai Shi Ci saw Sun Ce here and immediately shouted: "Sun Ce is leaving!"

Seeing this situation, everyone's scalp immediately went numb, only Sun Ce and Huang Gai were happy, they knew that it was time to sing a double reed to Liu Xuan!
