Chapter 19: The Three Orions

According to Zhang Hong, once he successfully brought Liu Xie to Wu County and announced the relocation of the capital, Sun Ce would be the next Cao Cao.

Even if it works well, Sun Ce's control over Liu Xie is stronger than Cao Cao, after all, Cao Cao was invited by Dong Cheng as a foreign aid, even if the capital was finally moved to Xuchang, almost all the old ministers who followed Liu Xie's return to the east followed, although Xuchang seems to be under Cao Cao's control, but there has always been an undercurrent.

But Jiangdong is different, although Jiangdong's territory is not so big, but the people are united, once the emperor comes, it will be the legitimate king's army, and it is not a problem to incorporate some other forces, and it is almost possible to have the capital to compete in the Central Plains in a short period of time.

In terms of the topography of Jiangdong, they can almost rest assured that they can go on the expedition, because Jiangdong is mostly waterways, easy to defend and difficult to attack, once defeated, as long as the naval army is still there, there is no need to worry about being destroyed.

However, according to Zhang Hong's suggestion, when Liu Xie had not really set foot in Wu County, Sun Ce could not tell anyone about this matter, whether it was Zhang Zhao or Zhou Yu, they did not know about it.

After explaining a lot of matters in Wu County, and even starting to build a palace of considerable scale in his own name, Sun Ce, who was finally free, suddenly remembered something.

Zhang Hong once gave Sun Ce a letter when he was leaving, and said that this was specially explained by Liu Xie, and even he hadn't read it, saying that Sun Ce could only open it after arriving in Wu County.

Sun Ce is an anxious child, and he forgot about his busy work before, but when he thought about it now, he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart.

After opening the letter, there were only a few words in it, but after Sun Ce glanced at it, he grabbed the letter and tore it to pieces, his chest couldn't stop rising and falling, obviously what Liu Xie said in the letter made him a little unhappy.

"Liu Xie, this guy is really too deceitful!"

After walking on the ground several times, Sun Ce gradually calmed down, and he didn't know what he remembered, so he quickly lowered his head and picked up the letter that he had torn apart.

Seeing that the letter was only torn into three or four pieces by himself, Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief, put the letter together again, and looked at it from the beginning word by word with a frown.

"Dantu Mountain...... I'll make this bet with you, so what? If you lose, just use this as an excuse, lest you say that I, Sun Ce, am a national thief! ”

Sun Ce slept late that night, and he gathered a few henchmen who had been following him, and discussed for several hours, as for what was discussed, only he and the guards who had died around him knew.

During the deliberations the next day, Sun Ce announced that he would go hunting in Dantu Mountain in three days, in order to relax the fatigue of his years of fighting.

This matter is naturally understandable, and Sun Ce was able to ride a horse to hunt in the mountains by himself when he was a teenager, and every time he returned with a full load, this was already a habit of his, plus he would bring his own henchmen and attendants when hunting, so this matter did not make anyone object, and no one had any doubts.

Three days later, Sun Ce rode out of the mansion early in the morning, wearing soft armor, carrying a short knife at his waist, and carrying a strong bow on his back, obviously planning to return with a full load.

Dantu Mountain is overgrown with trees, the road is rugged, the general hunters do not dare to enter the mountain at all, and those who can ride horses in the mountains must be able to endure people, this is a dangerous place in the hinterland of Jiangdong, except that Sun Ce dares to be a back garden from time to time, almost inaccessible.

Facing the rising sun that had just poked out some heads, the group rode their horses into the mountain quickly.

On the mountainside, three people dressed as hunters were staring at them, and saw that the first one was dressed in bright armor, which was Sun Ce's usual dress, and the war horse under his crotch was also Sun Ce's rare black horse without a trace of miscellaneous hair, and the three of them glanced at each other, and then hid in the mountain that had not yet been completely brightened.

Sun Ce, who was ruthless and fast, took the lead as soon as he entered the mountain, leaving many of his guards far behind.

This was also a common thing when Sun Ce was hunting before, and his attendants didn't care, but followed unhurriedly from a distance, after all, it was Sun Ce who came to hunt, and their task was to make Sun Ce cool every time.

Today's Sun Ce is not much different from every day, that is, he is covered with a big hat, a hat on his head, and a black scarf covering his face.

This outfit is really normal in this scene, the spring is cold, it is said that at this time, the horse is galloping, the oncoming wind is like a knife, although Sun Ce is brave, he is also a handsome man, not a tool man with rough skin and thick flesh.

Half an hour later, Sun Ce, who had taken the lead, had appeared in a clearing halfway up the mountainside, with his bow and arrows aimed at a stag drinking on the edge of the waterhole.

"Whoosh!"

Before Sun Ce's arrow could be shot, a sharp arrow had already galloped with the sound of breaking through the sky, and the stag seemed to feel the danger, and raised its head suddenly, it was too late, and before the body could move, the sword had already pierced through the heart.

As soon as Sun Ce turned around, he saw three Orions coming out of the corner, all burly figures, holding a strong bow in his hand and a short blade pinned to his waist.

This is the first time Sun Ce has seen such a situation, but there are indeed a lot of hunters living under this mountain, so he didn't care.

"The arrows you are waiting for are faster, take the prey!"

Throwing down such a sentence, Sun Ce turned his horse's head and was about to go up the mountain.

"Everyone in the world knows that your Sun Bofu dominates Jiangdong, but even on the territory of Jiangdong, do you know how many enemies you have?"

Just as Sun Ce was about to ride his horse away, the three of them surrounded him in an angle, obviously, this angle and position had already been chosen by them, and what they were waiting for was this moment.

At the same time, all three of them had already drawn their bows and arrows in their hands, and how fast their arrows were, the stag that fell to the ground was already a testament to it.

"Hey, hey! What the lord said is really good, there are really some thieves here. ”

What the three of them didn't expect was that the person in front of them, who had already been determined by them to be Sun Ce, took off his hat and big hat again and again while talking, and what he was wearing was just a guard's clothes.

"You're not Sun Ce?"

"Naturally not, you are such a vulgar person, how can the lord be confused by you, now tell your origin, and leave you a whole corpse, otherwise, you can only be accompanied by the corpse of this stag!"

When he had finished speaking, he whistled, and suddenly a mass of birds arose around him, and it was evident that someone had been lying in ambush in the vicinity for a long time.
