Jia Xu is now a talent with the seven virtues of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, trustworthiness and honesty. In other words, shamelessness.

Shameless is shameless, anyway, Jia Xu doesn't care. This world is sinister, and nothing is more important than one's own net worth and life.

Liu Yu can let Jia Xu come to Xuzhou to take charge, then he values Jia Xu and believes that Jia Xu can fully grasp the affairs of Xuzhou. If you do it well, you will be prosperous and rich, and your children and grandchildren will be of infinite use. If you don't do it well, you will be punished for the worst.

What he does is like killing his parents. Jia Xu's parents don't know where their bones are, and now they are left with their lives and future. Jia Xu is now quite used by Liu Yu, and he is very safe, he will not disobey any of Liu Yu's orders. Of course, if Liu Yu wants Jia Xu to die, Jia Xu will definitely resist.

Now Liu Yu didn't let Jia Xu die, but just let Jia Xu hold Xuzhou. Jia Xu knew what he had to do, and it was a great credit to keep Xuzhou. Sun Ce and Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou wildly, that is, they couldn't get along with Jia Xu. The vicious old fox Jia Xu will not estimate what courtesy, righteousness and shame are, and he will use any useful means.

Then again, how much is courtesy, righteousness and shame worth? Jia Xu knows how to consider.

Gao Ran in Qingzhou received a letter from Jia Xu asking for help, and immediately ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses to support.

Gao Ran's years have not been good or bad.

Gaolan used to be one of the "Four Pillars of Hebei" and had a great reputation in the north. After surrendering to Liu Yu, Gao Ran has always been very loyal to Liu Yu. Liu Yu also believed that Gao Ran's loyalty led him to be stationed in Hebei. Gao Ran's reputation is very big at the bottom, but the Hebei scholars don't have a good face for Gao Ran. After Gao Yu came to Liu Yu's command, he didn't take into account the previous relationships and the like, and was completely businesslike.

But Liu Yu seemed to have forgotten him, and many big battles were not let Gao Ran go.

Gao Ran didn't have any complaints or anything like that, there were too many generals in Liu Yu's army who were stronger than him, and it was normal for him not to have his turn. Therefore, Gao Ran can only do his job conscientiously, so that Liu Yu can see his efforts.

Now that Xuzhou needs his help, Gao Ran will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.

If it is done well, it is uncertain that Gao Ran may be able to re-enter Liu Yu's inner circle.

The whole of Xuzhou began to do what Jia Xu ordered, and the soldiers were a little disgusted by such behavior. But the reward given by Jia Xu is so tempting, it is food and gold, and the highest reward can also be knighted! Isn't it just thinking that you can fight for wealth for future generations? Now that Shangfeng has given such a big cake, if you don't work hard, who knows if this benefit will fall on your head.

Therefore, the soldiers did not feel depressed because of this, but were enthusiastic about their work. Some of them are in a group, and they are happy to deal with the enemy together, and they are rewarded and divided equally among the big guys.

The people are also in high spirits. Jia Xu's order was written with the word "military and civilian", which means that they also have a chance. Don't look at the people of this era, they haven't read any books, and they can't know many words. But they will listen, and when they hear that there is food, money, and titles, this is a good thing that they can't find with a lantern.

The people don't have any sharp and hard guys on hand, but they have their own plans.

It's too easy to poison a well, just find some poisonous plants and throw them in. As for their own drinking water, it's a big deal to dig another well.

Some people would even dig pits and traps in the roads, ready to inflict a second blow on the enemy.

But this was stopped by the authorities. Digging pits and traps is effective, but it is useless for the enemy to suffer one or two losses. A bad one will hurt your own people.

Well, the enthusiasm of the people was poured with cold water.

In any case, the whole of Xuzhou began to move.

Cao Renbu, who was outside Xiaopei City, was unable to realize Jia Xu's strategy in the fierce battle, but Sun Cebu in Xuzhou began to be unlucky.

After Sun Ce landed in Guangling, he handed over the heavy responsibility of logistics to Zhou Yu, and he himself marched towards Xuzhou with his troops.

Sun Ce still remembers his previous failure in Xuzhou, and now that Guan Yu and other generals are not there, Sun Ce, who has improved his martial arts and realm a little, feels that he is invincible in Xuzhou. Now is Sun Ce's best chance to capture Xuzhou. Zhou Yu also felt that there was no problem with Sun Ce's ideas, and he thought that the most important thing for the Xuzhou expedition was a logistical issue, so he presided over it in Guangling County first, and then followed Sun Ce later.

Sun Ce originally marched smoothly in Xuzhou with his troops, and Liu's troops in Xuzhou relied on the city to defend, and Sun Ce was extremely brave, and Liu's army was defeated and retreated.

Liu Jun was defeated, but there was no large-scale rout, and Sun Ce didn't care, anyway, things developed according to his and Zhou Yu's plan. In the smooth march, Sun Ce found some problems.

Some of the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army had symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting.

At first, Sun Ce thought it was a relationship between water and soil, but as the scale and number of people continued to increase, Sun Ce was worried, this is not a simple matter of adapting to water and soil.

Eventually, a soldier was fetching water from a stream when he discovered some poisonous substances upstream.

Sun Ce finally understood that it was only the enemy who used poison in the water. People always have to eat and drink, and many people in these years are directly fetching water from the river, not to mention the army, which uses so much water that it can only be used from the river.

"It's despicable! Poisoned in the water! He ordered all the soldiers not to drink water from the river and to use water from the well. Sun Ce immediately made a change.

But the well that Sun Ce encountered was also poisonous. Sun Ce was dumbfounded, what is the situation, doesn't Liu Jun in Xuzhou know that he doesn't have to drink all the water sources if he puts down the poison?

If you don't eat and drink only water, you can still last for a while. But if you don't drink water, you'll die within a few days. On this battlefield, there is no water to drink

There are always more solutions than problems, and Sun Ce quickly found a solution.

This method is to start among the people, and Sun Ce does not believe that there is no source of drinking water for the people.

Sure enough, the people of Xuzhou had other water sources, which temporarily alleviated the water problem of the Jiangdong Army.

Because of this drinking water problem, a large number of Jiangdong soldiers were poisoned, and these soldiers had to be treated, and Sun Ce couldn't leave these soldiers alone. But the poisoned soldiers were not one poison, but many kinds, and Sun Ce had to leave a part of his troops to take care of these soldiers who had no combat effectiveness.

Sun Ce was annoyed by Liu Jun's shameless behavior in Xuzhou, and after suffering a loss, Sun Ce also became wiser, and he ordered all the soldiers to bring enough drinking water, and never drink the water outside, even if they wanted to drink, they had to boil it and drink it again.

Sun Ce's order was carried out, and the soldiers suffered a loss, and they did not dare to drink water indiscriminately.

As they passed through a fruit grove, Sun Ce's troops stopped their advance and prepared to rest.

This orchard is already fruitful, and you can tell that it is ripe when you smell the aroma.

Zhou Tai took some soldiers to pick all these fruits, and even picked a basket of the best fruits and sent them to Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce saw such a good fruit, his index finger moved. The weather is very hot and humid, so eating some fruit is a good choice.

When Sun Ce picked up a fruit and was about to bite into it, a soldier wailed not far away. Many soldiers surrounded them.

"What's going on?" Sun Ce hurriedly put down the fruit in his hand, and then came to the crowd and found several soldiers holding their stomachs and wailing.

One of the soldiers hurriedly said, "My lord, these brothers have eaten the fruit in their hands and that's it." ”

Sun Ce looked at the fruit that had been bitten on the ground, and his cold sweat flowed down, and he shouted: "I threw away the fruit, this is poisonous!" ”

"Huh? Poisonous! The soldier hurriedly threw the fruit in his hand.

Zhou Tai's face was panicked, just now he almost ate the fruit when he looked at Sun Ce. If Sun Ce eats it, Zhou Tai's sin will be great.

"God forbid!" Zhou Tai can only attribute the credit to God's blessing to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce's face was entangled, this Xuzhou Liu Jun was really shameless, and he actually used poison on the fruit.

If you can use poison on the fruit, then you can also use poison for other things, such as grain.

"The general has decreed that all things of unknown origin in Xuzhou must not be eaten!" Sun Ce gave the order again.

"Yes!" Zhou Tai and the others received the order.

Although he knew that the enemy was using poison, Jiangdong was an expedition, and even if there was a base in Guangling County, it could not always support the grain and grass used by the Jiangdong Army in Xuzhou. Sun Ce wanted to use Xuzhou's rich money and grain, so that he could use war to support the war to achieve the conquest in Xuzhou.

Now in this situation, Sun Ce has no choice.

Sun Ce has the mind of fighting to raise war, can Jia Xu, as an old fox, not know? Raising war with war is something that Jia Xu used rotten many years ago.

Sun Ce asked Zhou Tai, "Do you know who is in charge of Xuzhou now?" ”

Zhou Tai said: "Back to the lord, I heard that the person in charge of Xuzhou is a guy named Guo Tu. ”

"Guo Tu Guo Gongze! The guy who sells for glory, no wonder he would use such shameless means! Sun Ce had heard of Guo Tu's name, so he put all the blame on Guo Tu.

Because Liu Yu secretly arranged for Jia Xu to go to Xuzhou, Cao Cao and Sun Ce didn't know that Jia Xu was in Xuzhou, and Guo Tu could only take the blame for Jia Xu.

"Lord, what else should we do?" Tai Shici, who had not spoken for a long time, asked.

"Well, this situation should be for Gong Jin to come. Ziyi, you arrange for the knight to rush back to Guangling County to tell Gong Jin about the situation that Ben will encounter, and let Gong Jin rush here immediately! At this time, Sun Ce remembered Zhou Yu who was far away in Guangling County.

"Yes, my lord!" Tai Shi Ci took the order and left.

But it didn't take long for Tai Shici to return with a blue face.

"My lord, I'm afraid there are no knights who can go to Guangling now." Tai Shi Ci said with a heavy face.

"What's the situation?!" Sun Ce had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Tai Shi Ci bowed his head and said, "Lord, our war horses are also poisoned now, and they are all paralyzed on the ground. ”

"What! War horses are poisoned! What's going on!? Sun Ce was suddenly shocked.

Jiangdong is not a horse-producing land, and the number of war horses is pitiful. Now the war horses of the Jiangdong army, except for a small number of them smuggled from the sea at a high price, the rest are the descendants of Sun Ce's original war horses. That is, war horses are more valuable than gold in Jiangdong.

Now that the war horses are poisoned, it's no wonder that Sun Ce can't be shocked.

Sun Ce frantically came to the war horse and saw a large number of war horses lying on the ground. Many war horses were even foaming at the mouth, and they couldn't even stand.

The War Horse affair finally knew the root cause.

When Sun Ce's army was resting, the war horses were also led by the soldiers to the grass to forage for fresh forage. The meadow was also sprinkled with poison, and the horses were hungry and driven by hunger to eat whatever was in front of them. In the end, they were all poisoned, and this is what Sun Ce saw now.

Well, Sun Ce had already scolded the coach of Liu Jun in Xuzhou: "Despicable! Shameless! I didn't give birth to a son! O deprived fellow! Guo Gongze, my Sun Bofu will definitely kill you! ”

Well, the innocent Guo Tu took the blame for Jia Xu again.

"Bring the general's mount here! Ziyi, you personally go to Guangling County to inform Gong Jin, let him lead the troops to come to support, and the whole army will stop advancing before Gong Jin comes! Sun Ce misses Zhou Yu very much now, he thinks that if Zhou Yu acts with him, then there will definitely be no such thing.

Sun Ce's own soldiers quickly led Sun Ce's mount over. Sun Ce's mount is a rare horse of thousands of miles, coupled with Sun Ce's status, this war horse certainly enjoys the treatment that ordinary war horses do not have.

Now in the Jiangdong Army, only Sun Ce's war horse has not been poisoned.

Tai Shici felt Sun Ce's anxiety, quickly took the horse rope, and then rode the war horse with a beautiful leap and galloped away.

Sun Ce looked at Tai Shici, who was leaving quickly, and thought in his heart: Ziyi, you have to hurry up!

Sun Ce knew that Liu Jun in Xuzhou would not be counted like this, and there might be a conspiracy to deal with him.

Sun Ce immediately ordered the scouts to go out to inquire about the situation and make sure to know if the enemy army was near him.

The scouts were really unlucky, they used to have war horses to use, but now that they don't have horses, they feel a little helpless.

Helpless and helpless, but when the task is down, they have to do it, who told them to eat this bowl of rice.

It's just that the scouts are not stupid, and there are no more war horses, so they change their patterns and leave a man at intervals, so that the delivery of the message can be accelerated.

After Sun Ce looked at the surrounding terrain, he directly said to a valley not far away: "The whole army is marching towards that valley, relying on this valley to build fortifications!" ”

Zhou Tai didn't understand a little, wasn't his side the attacker, why did the lord want to build fortifications?
