Mid-September.

Danyang County, county governance, Wanling City.

After Yuan Shu's defeat of Shouchun, he crossed the Jianghuai River in the south and ran to Danyang, which was too guarded by his younger brother Yuan Yin. After arriving in Danyang, Yuan Shu temporarily established the Zhong kingdom in Wanling.

In the palace compound,

It is not so much a palace compound, but a larger mansion, after all, compared to the Shouchun Palace, Wanling can only be regarded as a larger post station.

At this time, a Wenchen came quickly, and looked at the pavilion, Yuan Shu was half-lying and half-leaning, there were several female concubines on his side, and there were six or seven dancing girls dancing not far away.

Alas! Wen Chen sighed heavily.

A few steps forward, Wen Chen said: "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy!" ”

"Oh~, where does the joy come from!"

Yuan Shu drooped his eyelids, squinted his eyes and glanced at Wen Chen, not at all interested. Ever since he was defeated by Cao Cao, he has been in a state of slump, enjoying himself all day long, without any fighting spirit.

Cao Cao is hateful, but what he hates the most is Zhang Xiu, because Zhang Xiu detained his love Ji in Jingzhou, which made him extremely annoyed day and night.

"Your Majesty, I just got the news that Cao Cao's generals in Shouchun have withdrawn, it is said that they left because of the exhaustion of food, and now Shouchun City is empty, and I am hopeful for the revival of Dazhong!"

Wenchen bowed, looking excited.

Although Yuan Shu can't do it, he still wants the Zhong clan to make a difference, after all, he is already the position of Jiuqing, and one person is above ten thousand people.

"Really?" Yuan Shu sat up.

No matter how dilapidated Shouchun is, it is stronger than the poor countryside of Danyang, and Shouchun has a palace group, and when the time comes, he will ask those families in Runan for some money, food, and beauties, and he can enjoy himself.

"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true, and the soldiers of Dazhong can return to the capital again." Wen Chen cried with joy.

"Okay, hurry, go and give an order, so that Ji Ling can rectify the soldiers of my Dazhong, prepare to cross to the north in clothes, return to Shouchun City, and reproduce the heroic appearance of my Dazhong."

Yuan Shu smiled and waved his sleeves.

"Nuo, the minister will pass on the decree and summon hundreds of officials to prepare to return to Shouchun and build the imperial capital from the palace." Wen Chen got up excitedly, his face flushed and receded.

Watching the scribe retreat, Yuan Shu smiled again, pinched the wine glass, and said to the dancing girl who was already standing quietly not far away: "Quick, continue dancing." ”

…………

In the second year of Jian'an, late September.

The Son of Heaven of the Zhong family led hundreds of officials to cross the river in the north, returning to Shouchun, and wanted to be prosperous in the past.

Of course, Shouchun is broken, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, in the eyes of the world, Yuan Shu is already a dry bone in the grave, and there is still the momentum of his Jianghuai overlord in the early years.

At this time, Wu County will be in the house.

Sun Ce was dressed in a British armor, wearing a white robe, and his appearance was heroic, and at this time he pinched a letter, and immediately laughed: "Hehe, okay, Cao Mengde really didn't lie to me." ”

After speaking, his sword eyebrows were raised, and he was overjoyed: "Gong Jin, then Yuan Shu really led the army back to Shouchun, and now Danyang is garrisoned by his younger brother Yuan Yin, and the defenders are less than 10,000 people." ”

Zhou Yu chuckled elegantly and said, "Take it!" ”

"Okay," Sun Ce shouted heartily: "Cheng Pu listens to the order, and you are the vanguard general, immediately lead the elite armor of eight thousand, gallop in the starry night, and go straight to Danyang County." ”

"No!" Cheng Pu strode down.

"Han Dang listens to the order, and you lead the army to guard Wu County." Sun Ce looked at Han Dang and said solemnly.

"The last general commands." Han Dang felt helpless.

"The rest of the generals, tomorrow the third watch will make rice, and the fourth watch will go out of the camp, follow me to kill Danyang, capture the whole county of Danyang in one fell swoop, and reject Yuan Shu and Jiangbei." Sun Ce hissed.

Once the tiger is in Yangzhou, then he can be regarded as a hegemon, but this time he must be fast, and he must take Danyang before Zhang Xiu can react, and go straight to Yuzhang.

Only by winning the Yuzhang can he feel at ease.

"No!" All the generals should come down in unison.

I have to say that Sun Ce's personal charm is still very strong, he has a lot of martial arts, and most of them are the backbone, plus Sun Ce is righteous, so he pacified several counties in Jiangdong in this short time.

Looking at the generals leaving, Sun Ce looked a little anxious, he couldn't wait to kill under Danyang City now. But fortunately, Cao Cao informed him in advance, and he made preparations in advance.

"Gong Jin, how do you want to capture Danyang in this battle?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu excitedly and said.

"Yuan Yin is cowardly and unscrupulous, but he can gather all our forces and attack Wanling in a hurry. As long as Wanling is breached, the surrounding county will definitely fall from the wind. Zhou Yu said solemnly.

Sun Ce nodded, he could finally fight again, he had been longing for it for a long time.

…………

In the same year, at the end of September.

Danyang, Wanling territory.

At this time, it is already the autumn harvest season, and as far as the eye can see, the grain has been hung with ears.

In the fields outside the city, three or two people looked at the fields in front of them, they were in a sad mood, beating their chests, because of the continuous drought in various places, coupled with the panic escapees, so that the yield of corn in Danyang was very low.

I saw a lean and swarthy old man grab a spike, let go of his hand and rub it for a while, the pale yellow millet appeared, but the valley rate was too low, only two-thirds of previous years.

"Old man, this, what can I do!" The old grandmother looked pained and a little desperate, and at this time, the field was not planted well, which meant that there were few mouthfuls to eat in winter, and the whole family would be hungry.

And now that Yuan Shu is harsh on taxes and miscellaneous taxes, they have nothing left, and if they continue like this, they will starve to death.

"Whew, don't talk about those useless ones, hurry up and grab it." The old man urged, bent down and cut two handfuls of rice millet, he straightened his waist and frowned slightly, and said ruthlessly: "It's really not good, I will go to the mountains to cut some timber and sell it for money in winter." ”

Hearing the chopping wood, the old grandmother's expression tightened.

Cutting firewood in winter is an extremely dangerous thing, not to mention the slippery mountain roads and cold weather to protect against the cold, but the hungry jackals, tigers and leopards in the winter alone are a big danger.

Without waiting for her to speak, I heard a panicked shouting in the distance.

When I got up and looked, the dust was flying, the flag was covering the sun, and dozens of people were riding in front.

"Folks, don't panic, I am Sun Ce, the former general of the Han Dynasty, and I am specially ordered to beg for thieves, and I have no intention of harming you." Sun Ce raised his gun and shouted.

It's just that the people at this time have only one word for those who take the soldiers, fear!

The fear in their hearts made them go in a panic, and they didn't dare to stop at all, even if the rations outside the city were extremely important to them.

I shouted for many miles, and it was the same.

Zhou Yu patted his horse and chased after him, looked at Sun Ce and said: "Lord, it is common for the people to be in a panic, and the lord should lead the army to take Wanling directly, so that the people's hearts can be stable." ”

Sun Ce nodded and glanced at Wanling City not far away.

He raised his gun and galloped over Huang Gai and said: "Huang Gai, you immediately lead people to set up camp, build a siege ladder overnight, and you must be able to capture Wanling tomorrow, so as not to miss the autumn harvest of the people." ”

"No!" Huang Gai clenched his fists and responded.

Sun Ce glanced at it, it seems that this year's harvest in Danyang is not too ideal, but fortunately, as long as he captures Danyang, he will have a piece of these autumn grains.

"Chen Wu, you lead dozens of horsemen and shoot the surrender letter prepared before into the city to disturb the morale of his army."

"No!" Chen Wu clenched his fists and responded.
