At dawn, the south gate of the Zhiwan Mausoleum in Danyang County suddenly opened, and two teams of cavalry rushed out from outside the door, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves instantly broke the silence of dawn. Sun Ce took the lead and galloped at the forefront of the team, followed by a group of important ministers of the Wu camp led by Zhou Yu and Huang Gai. Unlike Liu Bei, who went north to Xiangyang to aid Liu Biao, after Sun Ce joined the alliance in Changsha, he ignored Liu Biao, who was fighting with Cao Cao in full swing, and turned his troops and horses and went straight to Danyang to crusade against the rebel general Yu Lan without even saying hello. However, to Sun Ce's surprise, before his army entered the Danyang realm, Wanling suddenly sent the heads of the three thieves of Yu Lan, Dai Yuan, and Bian Hong.

It turned out that after murdering Sun Yi, Concubine Lan coveted the beauty of Sun Yi's wife, Mrs. Xu, and wanted to accept her as a concubine. Mrs. Xu is a loyal and fierce woman, how can she succumb to her husband's murderer. However, the resourceful Mrs. Xu did not scold the concubine on the spot for being shameless, but was hypocritical and wronged. can wait until the dark day, set up sacrifices and remove clothes, and then get married" to stabilize the concubine, and secretly summoned Sun Yi's old generals Sun Gao and Fu Ying into the house to ask the two to avenge her. Sun Gao and Fu Ying were already good friends with Sun Yi, and they heard that Sun Ce had formed an alliance with Liu Biao and Liu Bei, so they naturally agreed to Mrs. Xu's request without hesitation.

So on the day of the obscurity, Mrs. Xu first let Sun and Fu ambush them in the secret room, and then sent her concubine to invite her to enter the house to drink. When she came to Sun's mansion, she saw Mrs. Xu's heavy makeup and glamorous wraps after being removed, and she smiled freely, and immediately put her eyebrows on her eyebrows and drank freely. After three rounds of drinking, Mrs. Xu saw that she was drunk and hazy, so she invited her into the secret room. Fei Lan didn't know that there was fraud, so he got drunk. But before he could do anything dirty, Mrs. Xu had already shouted, "Where are the second generals Sun and Fu!" Sun Gao and Fu Ying, who had been waiting for a long time, both jumped out with knives from the curtain and killed Fei Lan with knives. Subsequently, Sun Gao and Fu Ying successively used the name of Concubine Lan to lead Dai Yuan and Bian Hong to Sun's mansion to kill them one by one, and Wanling City returned to Sun's account.

Sun Ce, who learned what had happened from the messenger's mouth. While lamenting the wisdom and courage of his younger brothers and sisters, he was also afraid of long nights and dreams, so he sent Lu Fan to lead the troops to clear the remnants of the concubines in Danyang, and on the other hand, he personally led the main force to Wanling day and night, so he had this scene in front of him.

The scale of Wanling City was not large, and it didn't take long for the team to arrive at the Taishou Mansion in the center of the city. As soon as they saw Sun Ce coming, Sun Gao and Fu Ying, who had been waiting in front of the government for a long time, immediately hugged their fists and greeted them, "The last general Sun Gao, the last general Fu Ying, see Wu Hou." ”

Seeing this, Sun Ce turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward quickly. patted the shoulders of the two of them heavily, "The two generals don't have to be polite, if it weren't for the two of them, they would have lost a county!" ”

In the face of Sun Ce's praise, Sun Gao and Fu Ying were ashamed. It must be known that although the three thieves of Fei Lan, Dai Yuan, and Bian Hong were killed by the two of them. But after all, Sun Yi was also stabbed to death under their noses. In fact, if it weren't for Mrs. Xu's determination to trap and kill Fei Lan with a beauty. It is very likely that Sun Gao and Fu Ying have met with Sun Ce at this moment. Therefore, Sun Gao hurriedly humbly hugged Sun Ce with his fist. "This time to kill the three thieves of Concubine Lan, Dai Yuan, and Bian Hong, Mrs. Xu is the first meritorious minister, and the last general can't wait for assistance from the side, how dare she take credit."

Sun Ce saw that Sun Gao and Fu Ying were not proud of their achievements, and couldn't help but have a good impression of the two of them, but when he saw him, he smiled loudly and announced loudly. "Regardless of whether the first merit is the first or not, the two generals will be promoted to the tooth gate from now on."

Sun Gao and Fu Ying were promoted by Sun Ce, and they were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly. Sun Ce waved his hand. He blurted out, "Where is Mrs. Xu?" ”

"Madame is in the mourning hall." Fu Ying replied.

Sun Ce nodded after hearing this, and followed Sun and Fu to the mourning hall in the backyard. As soon as they entered the door, everyone saw a young girl sitting in front of Sun Yi's spiritual seat. Thinking that Sun Yi's widow is only twenty-eight years old, Sun Ce admires her chastity and martyrdom, but also can't help but sigh in his heart for his bumpy fate. If Mrs. Xu is not inferior to a man with eyebrows, but there is only one Cai Anzhen in the world, and the vast majority of women still have to rely on their husbands and families after all.

So after offering incense to Sun Yi, Sun Ce asked Mrs. Xu with a pleasant face, "What are Madame's plans for the future?" ＂

In the face of Sun Ce's questioning, Mrs. Xu glanced at Sun Yi affectionately, and then solemnly bowed to Sun Ce and said, "The concubine is willing to guard the tomb for her late husband for life, and she also asks Wu Hou to complete it." ＂

Regarding Mrs. Xu's choice, Sun Ce was first surprised, and then nodded as if he had suddenly realized. It is important to know that it is common for widows of the Han Dynasty to remarry, and not only will they not be criticized, but on the contrary, the widow's family will do everything possible to find a new husband for the widow. If Mrs. Xu returns to her parents' home, she will most likely be married off within a year or two. As for the husband's age, appearance, and family background, it is not up to Mrs. Xu to decide.

In Sun Ce's opinion, the woman in front of her has the heart of not losing to a man, so she is no longer dependent on a man's utensils, but an upright person. Since we are human beings, we should be free. Therefore, the next moment, Sun Ce nodded in an unquestionable tone and agreed, "Gu will buy a mansion in the city for his wife, and he can live as long as his wife wants, and every qiē will be borne by Gu Lai." ＂

Yes, Mrs. Xu is willing to guard the tomb for Sun Yi, and the Sun family will provide shelter for her, and if she gets tired of that day, she can choose to leave. This is Sun Ce's reward for Mrs. Xu's loyalty.

After Sun Ce settled Mrs. Xu, he came to the council hall of the Taishou Mansion with Zhou Yu and others to discuss the next battle. Because Mrs. Xu designed to kill the three thieves, on the one hand, Sun Ce was able to take Danyang without blood, and on the other hand, it also accelerated the process of Wu's army going north. Therefore, the primary problem in front of Sun Ce at the moment is no longer how to consolidate the rear, but how to go north to capture Guangling.

"This time there are two ways to go north, one is to cross the river from Qu'a to attack Guangling, and the other is to attack Huailing through Jiujiang to cut off the back road of Cao's army." In the council room, Zhou Yu drew two arc-shaped offensive lines on the huge cowhide map.

However, at the mention of Jiujiang, Huang Gai smacked his lips quite unpleasantly, shook his head and said, "Take advantage of Jiujiang to attack Huailing?" Zhang Yide is afraid that he will not give up. ”

As soon as Huang Gai's words came out, he immediately won the unanimous support of many Wu generals present. It is said that in the second year of Jian'an, Liu Bei gathered more than 100 boats and boats to cross the Huai River south under the funding of Xuzhou giant Mi Zhu, and won the Shouchun City of Jiujiang County before the Eastern Wu. Although Sun Ce later captured Hefei in Jiujiang with the assistance of Zhou Yu, it was not as good as Shouchun, Dangtu and other important towns occupied by Liu Bei. Since then, Liu Bei has become an invisible obstacle between Eastern Wu and Jianghuai. In fact, at the stall of the siege of Changsha last year, Sun Ce also sent people to feint to attack Jiujiang, but they were all blocked by Zhang Fei, who was sitting in Shouchun.

Compared with the Wu generals who were afraid of Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu said quite confidently. "Although Zhang Fei is an enemy of 10,000 people, he is only one person after all. Once Liu Bei and Cao Cao were at war, he would have no time to take care of Jiujiang. ”

"According to Gongjin's opinion, Liu Bei will transfer Zhang Feichi to aid Jingzhou?" Sun Ce, who heard Zhou Yu's voice, leaned over and asked.

"Liu Bei's account makes good use of soldiers, only Guan and Zhang, when the war is tight, if he doesn't transfer Zhang Yide, who can he transfer?" Zhou Yu asked with a leisurely smile.

Zhou Yu's words can be regarded as hitting Liu Bei's weakness. It is said that although Liu Bei has been in Lujiang and Jiujiang for many years, only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can stand alone. But this time, Liu Bei directly transferred Guan Yu from Lujiang for the Northern Expedition, Cao Cao, causing Zhang Fei to have to take care of Lujiang and Jiujiang counties at the same time. At first glance, it seems that the rear of Liu Bei's department is indeed a lot empty. On the other hand, Cao Cao had the Cao family and the Xiahou family as the backing, and Sun Ce was assisted by many old generals left by his father Sun Jian. Even Cai Ji, who is a woman, can recruit talents with the imperial examination. In contrast, Liu Bei's recruitment of talents over the years is really lackluster.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce became interested in most of the Jiujiang occupied by Liu Bei. But seeing that he asked Zhou Yu with great interest, "Gong Jin is planning to attack Yu with false truths?" ”

Zhou Yu waved his hand and shook his head, "Definitely." Yu is to repair the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark. ”

Ming Xiu plank road. The allusion to the darkness of Chen Cang comes from "Historical Records * Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin". It is said that after Xiang Yu proclaimed himself the overlord of Western Chu, he divided the three counties of Ba, Shu and Hanzhong to Liu Bang and made him the king of Han. In order to confess to Xiang Yu that he had no intention of expanding eastward, Liu Bang took the initiative to burn the plank road along the way after entering Sichuan. A few years later, the full-fledged Liu Bang planned to go out of Sichuan to seize the world, so his general Han Xin offered him this plan of "repairing the plank road in the bright and Chen Cang in the dark". That is, on the one hand, 10,000 people were sent to repair a 500-mile plank road, and on the other hand, they led elite troops to attack the important town of Chencang from the unknown trail over the mountains and mountains. Historically, Liu Bang conquered Chen Cangshun and advanced to Guanzhong in one fell swoop according to this strategy, which opened the curtain on his career in the Han Dynasty. But at present, Zhou Yu is not the only one who plans to follow Han Xin's plan.

Zhang Liao sat cross-legged at the door of the handsome tent. While chewing a fig, he watched Cao Pi and Sun Quan not far away compete in archery, and behind him, Cai Ji was standing up with Pang in front of the case, and was buried in dealing with the official documents from the four states of Qing, Xu, Ji, and You. Such boring days, Zhang Liao has spent more than a month in a row. In the past month, Zhang Liao has hardly participated in a decent battle except for accompanying Cai Ji to inspect the border passes of Dai County and Shanggu County. On the contrary, it was Zhao Yunjie, who went to Yanmen, to report frequently, which made Zhang Liao, who was conceited and "idle", envious.

Suddenly, a silver bell-like laughter came from behind Zhang Liao, causing him to quickly turn back and follow the prestige, and saw Cai Ji holding an official document and praising repeatedly, "Five families are neighbors, and one neighbor is the chief; Five neighbors are li, and one mile long; Wuli is the party, and there is a party leader. Mr. Yuan Hao's three-long system is very exquisite! ”

Pang Tong shook his head after hearing this, and snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the rampant rogues in the four counties of Jizhou, why would there be such a three-long system." According to what Tong has seen, this sudden bandit trouble in Jizhou must be Cao Cao's plan to bring disaster to the east! ”

It turned out that not long after Cai Ji went north to Youzhou, there were rogue raids and harassed the four counties of Jizhou under her rule. Although Tai Shici personally led the troops to clear out some of the rogues, the other party still continued to infiltrate from Cao Cao's territory to the three counties of Qinghe, Anping, and Hejian. And the explanation given by Cao Jun is also very helpless, because the counties under Cao Cao's rule are also rebelling at the moment, and according to the other party, this is all caused by Liu Biao and other traitors. Regardless of the cause of these rogues, at least their appearance has seriously affected the recuperation of the four counties of Jizhou. Therefore, Tian Feng formulated a set of "three-long system" in view of the characteristics of the tuntian system, which was used to facilitate the inspection of household registration, the collection of rents and transfers, the conscription and distribution of military service, and even the organization of household formations to form villages for self-protection.

Tian Feng proposed that the "three-long system" was not unfamiliar to Cai Ji, in fact, according to the original historical process, the three-long system was originally a system that naturally arose with the promotion of the Juntian system. It is true that the three-long system was restored to the township and the lichang in the Sui Dynasty, but the advantages of the three-long system in terms of public security were still retained and continued until 1,800 years later. So at this time, in the face of Pang Tong's reminder, Cai Ji still waved his hand quite happily, "It's okay." It is not a bad thing to be able to take the opportunity of suppressing bandits to sort out the households. ”

Zhang Liao'er heard that Cai Ji was discussing government affairs with Pang Tong again, so he couldn't help but sigh, turned around in disappointment, and planned to continue to watch the two little ghosts outside the tent compete to pass the time. As soon as he turned around, he heard Cai Ji say loudly behind his back, "General Wenyuan, don't be anxious. In a little while, there will be a place for the general. ”

In fact, Zhang Liao's every move these days has not escaped Cai Ji's eyes. She also knew very well that Zhang Liao was envious of Zhao Yun's ability to gallop on the battlefield. However, Zhang Liao is not Zhao Yun after all. As the number one warrior under Cai Ji's account, Zhao Yun can be defeated, trapped, retreated, and used as bait, but Zhang Liao just can't. Because Zhang Liao's current identity is the Taishou of Daijun, once he loses heavily on the battlefield, he will definitely shake the hearts of the military and the people of the tribes in Daijun. So now Zhang Liao can only wait, waiting for Zhao Yun to take the lead in completing the task.

As if to confirm Cai Ji's promise, just as her words fell, a messenger galloped into the camp, only to hear the colonel on horseback shouting loudly, "Good news!" Good news! General Zhao broke 20,000 enemies in the Yin Pavilion! ”

Hearing Zhao Yun's victory again, the soldiers of the Qi battalion, including Zhang Liao, suddenly burst into a burst of cheers. At the same time, although Cai Ji in the big tent also stood up with a happy face, she did not cheer with the soldiers under her command, but turned her head to Pang Tong behind her and asked, "Shiyuan, counting today's battle, how many battles has Zilong won?" ”

"Back to the Lord, I have won seven battles and seven victories." When Pang Tong said this, he arched his hand at Cai Ji with a look on his face, "If there is no accident, the senior cadres will definitely move in the next few days." ”

Cai Ji also restrained his smile when he heard this, and then nodded solemnly, "Good, you should also wait for the appearance." ”
