Zhang Ying lost most of his men and horses, and was defeated and returned to Yangzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Seeing that Sun Ce had increased from 3,000 soldiers and horses to 7,000 and that the small scabies had grown into a big trouble, Liu Miao was furious and wanted to kill Zhang Ying. Left and right urgently persuaded him, and only then did he be allowed to make meritorious contributions.

After the deployment of troops at the moment, Liu Miao personally led the army, and Zhang Ying, led 14,000 troops, stationed in Jinniu Mountain, to meet Sun Ce. Shouchun City was guarded by the military general Chen Wu, who led the rest of the 10,000 soldiers.

Sun Ce received 4,000 prisoners from Zhang Ying, and he was unable to form a combat force in a short period of time. These 4,000 people were originally the Yangzhou garrison. Their relatives and friends are all in Yangzhou, and then they are asked to fight Yangzhou, then they will definitely not be able to work. So, Sun Ce found a place to practice and postpone the attack on Yangzhou.

However, Sun Ce can be slowed, but Liu Miao is not. Liu Miao approached Jinniu Mountain. The situation was extremely unfavorable for Sun Ce.

In such a field battle, the soldiers on Liu Xuan's side said that if there are 14,000, there will be 14,000, and on Sun Ce's side, the newly acquired 4,000 captive soldiers must not be counted, even if it is the original 3,000 soldiers, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not escape from the battle. Therefore, field warfare is not possible.

It is not possible to avoid it without a fight. On Sun Ce's side, although he won the battle, his morale was low. The morale of the victory was given to the first three thousand soldiers. It can also be said that the first 3,000 guerrillas from Zhang Miao's troops are scattered, which is basically stable. However, if you don't avoid a fight, it's a different story. The 3,000 people were originally robbing food when they didn't have enough to eat, and then they were scattered by Yuan Shu's army. The foundation is not good, and there are historical problems. If you avoid it without a fight, it is likely to float the morale of the army. And here there are four thousand new captives. As long as they retreat, the new captives will surely escape. As soon as the new captives fled, the 3,000 men in front of them would inevitably follow. At that time, Sun Ce would be lonely again.

There can be no field battle, and there can be no retreat, then, only positional warfare remains. In positional warfare, bows and arrows are an extremely important link. Without a large number of arrows, you can't shoot at the position, and you can't line up in a neat formation. And Sun Ce's current arrows are indeed not enough. This is also an extremely headache.

At this time, Zhou Yu played a role. Zhou Yu said: "Under Liu Xuan, there are not many generals. Those who can take charge on their own are none other than Zhang Ying and Chen Wu. Now Liu Miao is leading the troops outside, and Shouchun will leave troops to garrison. And Zhang Ying is in a new defeat, so the person left behind must be Chen Wu. Chen Wu, the word is Lie, and Lujiang Songzi is a person. When he was young, he had a relationship with Yu. Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai can be used to take Yu by water. Bypass Jinniu Mountain and steal into Shouchun. Then Yu lobbied Yu Chen Wu, and he would fall to the lord. After Liu Miao learned the news that Chen Wu had surrendered and Shouchun had been lost, the army's morale would be chaotic. It will surely take the road to Chengde, Tuzhong, cross the Yangtze River and even Jianye. Jianye, Qu'a, there are still military horses of Xue Li and Zhenrong. Liu Miao is bound to resist stubbornly. ”

……

Sun Ce was overjoyed and immediately acted according to Zhou Yu's plan. The troops were driven to the front of Jinniu Mountain and fought in array with Liu Xuan's army. It was late that day, the two armies met, and after only a few words of scolding, they camped without saying anything.

The next day, Sun Ce raised his account and said to the generals that everyone should delay as much time as possible. There are not many generals on Liu Xuan's side, and it is estimated that it is Zhang Ying alone. Don't win. If it is won, it will be a battle between the great army, and it will be disadvantaged. Therefore, it is best to have a slight advantage on the premise of not winning and undefeated, and give the other side hope. Let this kind of military general be singled out and delay until Shouchun arrives.

The generals will have a plan, and then come out to set up a formation. Huang Gai is out of the car here, and Zhang Ying is still there. Huang Gai once fought Zhang Ying in Zhuniutan for 30 rounds, and there was no victory or defeat. Therefore, at this time, Huang Gai still went all out in the first thirty moves. The same is true of victory and defeat. Thirty moves later, Huang Gai retracted slightly, and he was at a disadvantage. But the wind lasted until noon.

After the meal, the two armies fought again. Sun Ce replaced Han Dang on the field. Han Dang is a new force, and he did not deliberately cover it up. Ten moves from the start, Han Dang has always had the upper hand. Ten moves are passed, and the two sides are equal. Twenty moves later, Han Dang was at a disadvantage again. In this way, more than 300 rounds of fighting, the two sides Mingjin withdrew.

On the second day, Zhang Ying came to challenge again. Sun Ce hung a war-free card to delay. Zhang Ying scolded for a while and went back. In the afternoon, Sun Ce lined up and sent Han Dang to take the initiative to fight, Zhang Ying met him, and the two fought for another afternoon.

On the third day, Zhang Ce hung up the exemption card again. At the same time, pay attention to the movement of the enemy army. Seeing that Liu Xuan's army had no intention of attacking, the war-free card simply hung up for a day.

On the fourth day, Sun Ce withdrew the exemption card. Huang Gai came out of the battle and fought against Zhang Ying. After more than ten moves, Huang Gai was at a disadvantage. Then he made more than two dozen moves. Liu Xuan's side Mingjin withdrew his troops.

……

Let's say that Zhang Ying returned to the formation, and said to Liu Xuan: "I am gaining the upper hand, and I am about to arrest the thief general, why do you withdraw the army at this time?" Liu Xuan said: "The big thing is not good." People reported that Zhou Yu led people to steal into Shouchun and lobbied Chen Wu. That Zhou Yu and Chen Wu are both from Lujiang, and they are old acquaintances. Now Chen Wu has joined the thief army and offered Shouchun. You and I have a broken back. It is necessary to make a quick detour, from Chengde, Tuzhong, to cross the Yangtze River and Jianye. The military horses that rendezvous with Xue Li and Zhenrong can still fight. This place should not be left for long. When Zhang Ying heard this, he said, "I have long said that Chen Wu is unreliable." Liu Miao said: "When did you say it, why didn't I know?" Zhang Ying's breath was stunned, and he didn't dare to say it again.

So, Liu Miao ordered the camp to be withdrawn. In broad daylight, not far from Sun Ce's military camp, Liu Miao was not at all worried that Sun Ce would take advantage of the gap to attack. This reason is not because Liu Miao is bold, let alone because Liu Miao expected that Sun Ce would not attack, but because Liu Miao didn't think much about it at all.

Is Liu Miao stupid? He shouldn't be stupid, or a little stupid. But no matter how smart a person is, there are times when they are confused. As the so-called concern is chaos. Liu Xuan's nest was copied, and his heart was already in turmoil. When the mind is confused, he doesn't care about anything. Therefore, Liu Xiancai regarded Sun Ce's army as if it were nothing.

Sun Ce did not attack. The reason is still that reason, the mountain is still the same mountain, and the beam is still the same beam. Or because his own soldiers are newly captured soldiers.

Han Dang suggested that he take advantage of the chaos in Liu Xuan's camp to wave his army to cover up the killing, but Sun Ce refused. Han Dang also suggested that a sentry horse be sent to follow Liu Xuan's army. After they have camped, they rob the camp at night. was also rejected by Sun Ce.

Sun Ce waited a little here, and after Liu Xuan evacuated, he also set out the camp and went to Shouchun City to meet Zhou Yu.

……

Sun Ce was like a dream, from a prodigal son who was equivalent to living on the streets and homeless, to the owner of the city. Was Sun Ce satisfied? This question did not arise. If such a question arises, in the usual style of a hero, it will definitely be answered, not satisfied. Hero, how can you be satisfied with such a small achievement?

In fact, the so-called heroes are not born. Heroes also come step by step. The question of whether to meet such a question did not arise, and fortunately did not, otherwise, Sun Ce would most likely choose to be satisfied.

The basis for Sun Ce's choice of satisfaction was that Sun Ce did not pursue Liu Xuan. This shows that Sun Ce is extremely interested in the existing interests. Sun Ce didn't want the 7,000 soldiers he had managed to gather to fall apart due to some uncertain factor. According to Sun Ce's behavior, it is speculated that after Sun Ce met Zhou Yu in Shouchun, he should rectify the place and train the army. In a short period of time, there will be no expedition.

However, things did not develop this way. When Sun Ce arrived in Shouchun, he saw that Shouchun had another 10,000 soldiers. Such a good thing, Sun Ce didn't feel any joy. The reason is that these 10,000 soldiers were obtained by Zhou Yu.

At the beginning, Sun Ce only had about 100 people. It was the three thousand soldiers recruited by Zhou Yu. Three thousand became seven thousand, and four thousand troops were added. The main contributors to that battle were Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai. And Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were different from Zhou Yu, these two did not make Sun Ce feel a trace of pressure. Therefore, in Sun Ce's heart, he counted the increase of 4,000 soldiers on his head. Four thousand, which is finally more than the previous three thousand. Sun Ce felt that he could take a long breath. Knowing, in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu got another 10,000.

There is no crack in the relationship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are golden. However, among brothers, there is still a better way to help than to learn. No one would say that Sun Ce's credit was small, not even Zhou Yu. But as long as Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce, Sun Ce felt weak, and felt that Zhou Yu was talking. The generals below, if they looked at Zhou Yu with reverence in their eyes, Sun Ce would not be comfortable.

Here's one. Chen Wu, Zilie, Lujiang Songzi people. Shouchun guards. In his early years, he was an acquaintance of Zhou Yu. His body is seven feet long, majestic and straight, with yellowish skin and slightly red eyes, which is somewhat different from ordinary people. This person, looking at Zhou Yu's eyes, there was a look of reverence.

As a result, Sun Ce's major policy changed all of a sudden. After Sun Ce saw Chen Wu, he talked a little nonsense, and then worshipped Chen Wu as a lieutenant, and ordered him to serve as a pioneer and go straight to Jianye. He also ordered the army to prepare food and grass quickly, and then followed. A pursuit battle against Liu Miao kicked off like this.

……

Zhou Yu said: "Nearby Guangling County, there is a person living in seclusion. This person's surname is Zhang, his name is Hong, and his character is Zigang. and the aforementioned Zhang Zhao, known as Jiangdong Erzhang, are both immortal talents. There is still a day to work on the big armament and food, so why not go and hire it. Sun Ce took Zhou Yu's suggestion, brought his servants, prepared gifts, and personally went to Guangling.

However, after entering Guangling City, Sun Ce inquired, but he had never heard of someone named Zhang Hong. Sun Ce walked around the city and saw a school. I guessed that Zhang Hong opened a school under a pseudonym, so I went to see the gentleman of the school. As soon as Mr. Xueguan came out, Sun Ce was disappointed. At first glance, the gentleman is more than seventy, perhaps less than eighty. It's already in the last years. How can such a man be with the army? Sun Ce didn't say anything about hiring at that time.

Sun Ce returned to Shouchun. Zhou Yu came over to ask about the situation. Sun Ce said that Zhang Hong refused to come. Zhou Yu was relieved: "A talented person must have ambitions. My brother's achievements are still small. In time, if you go to the extension again, you will definitely succeed. Sun Ce said in his heart, when I have achieved greatness, it is not certain whether Zhang Hong is still alive.

Subsequently, the whole army was completed, and the army set off. Go south to Jianye and Qu'a.

……

As soon as Sun Ce's army left the day before yesterday, Tian Lan left Shouchun on the second day. As soon as she entered Shouchun, Tian Lan realized that this was an empty city. Of course, not that there is no one, but that there is no one to manage. Tian Lan issued a notice to calm the people, and rectified the order of the city. I couldn't go to Guangling that day.

The next day, Tian Lan went to Guangling to invite Zhang Hong. Zhang Zhao went along, but Chen Qun didn't follow. Like Sun Ce, when he went into the city to inquire, everyone didn't know who Zhang Hongqi was. Like Sun Ce, Tian Lan wandered around the city, and then saw the school. There is a gentleman in the school, Tian Lan saw it. However, Tian Lan did not "meet" like Sun Ce, but broke into the library directly, and then saw it.

"What woman dares to trespass on the library?" asked the old gentleman. Tian Lan didn't answer and asked: "What's your name?" The old gentleman said: "How can you ask Old Man Yu with such an attitude?" Tian Lan said: "If you don't answer, I'll give you a name." Remember, in the future, my name will be Ah Huang, and it will be you. "Ah Huang's name is so long that almost everyone knows it.

"How dare you insult Sven," said the old gentleman, "come on, call me out!"

At this time, there were more than 20 young people in the school. There were two subordinates among them, and the rest were students. The students listened to the gentleman's words and pressed them over, but for a moment they did not move. The two subordinates are different. One of them came up and grabbed Tian Lan's shoulder. Tian Lan raised her hand and punched the man's armpit. The man immediately squatted down and couldn't get up.

Another subordinate saw that Tian Lan was powerful, so he changed his arrest to a fight, and punched Tian Lan from behind. Tian Lan lowered her head and let go of most of it, but she was still swept by the edge of the fist. It hurt a little suddenly. Tian Lan turned around and ran. The crowd did not chase after them.

……

Everyone didn't chase because they all thought that Tian Lan was in the wilderness and fled. Who knows, in the blink of an eye, Tian Lan's personal soldiers came in. Don't look at these eighteen pro-soldiers are all women, they are all veterans who have killed people. The female soldiers were armed with sheathed broadswords, and the knives were not unsheathed, so they rushed over. Immediately, there was a falling flower.

Tian Lan waited outside and didn't come in, this was because Tian Lan wanted to prevent Zhang Zhao from escaping. On today's trip, only Guo Tu accompanied him, and there were no generals. And Guo Tu and Zhang Zhao, Tian Lan can't see which of the two has a strong ability to fight.

The recruits came out to report that the people inside had all been beaten down. Tian Lan, Guo Tu, and Zhang Zhao walked in. Tian Lan still found the old gentleman and asked loudly: "Ah Huang, have you eaten?" The old gentleman said: "Can you kill the ......?"

Tian Lan said: "Who insulted you? Ask your name, you didn't say it yourself." How can you do it without a name, how can you teach your students?"

"Zibu, it's you?!" suddenly someone exclaimed among the beaten students in the corner. Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment, "Who? Who called me?" The man said, "It's me, Zhang Hong." Zhang Zhao stepped forward quickly, pulled Zhang Hong up from the ground, and said, "Zigang, I really didn't expect you to hide here!"
