Sun Ce's heart moved slightly.

He knew that Guo Jia was inclined to save Liu Bei, at least he couldn't watch Liu Bei and the others die indifferently, but Guo Jia was unwilling to admonish him in front of so many people. Jian Yong is different, he is bent on saving Liu Bei, and he will not let go of any reason that can be used.

Liu Bei deserves to die, but he is his subordinate after all, and not saving him when he dies is not good for his reputation. Even if it's pretentious, it's better than nothing. This may also be what Guo Jia meant. It was not Liu Bei who was saved, but his own reputation.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was not far away, and Confucianism was advocated, and the concept of emphasizing righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period was regarded as a guideline by most people. The most obvious example is that Spring and Autumn can't help but take revenge. Avenging one's family and avenging one's mentors and friends are all acts of righteousness that are praised by others, and will not only be supported by public opinion, but also by the government. The righteous will be appreciated not only by their peers, but also by their enemies. On the other hand, if you do something unrighteous, you will be despised.

The righteous should also ask whether they should or should not, do not distinguish between friend and foe, reckless of consequences, and do not ask about interests. It sounds like two, but at this time, the Han people are really a bit two, and it's not one person or two people, it's the mainstream of the entire society that is a bit two, regardless of whether it's an elite or an ordinary person.

Seeing death and not saving it is naturally unjust, even for ordinary people, it can't do this, not to mention that Liu Bei is still his nominal subordinate.

Sun Ce patted Jian Yong's shoulder. "Okay, don't act, when you finish acting, Liu Bei will die thoroughly. Get up, when you have this time, you might as well think about how to save people. ”

Jian Yong was overjoyed, and quickly stood up, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground again. Sun Ce helped him, untied his leather armor with his own hands, and checked his injuries. Jian Yong was inexplicably grateful. "General, my injuries are not in the way, it's better to hurry up and save Xuande and them, it's too late to be late."

"How can I save it?" Sun Ce pressed Jian Yong's back. "Bear with me."

Jian Yong nodded again and again, and Sun Ce slowly and resolutely pulled out the arrow. It was a stray arrow that pierced the leather armor, but did not penetrate deep into the muscles, and the injury was not serious. The other one was a little troublesome, the arrows had all been shot in, and even the barbs could not be seen. Sun Ce pulled out the feather knife, cut his flesh, and pulled out the arrow. The blood flowed like an infusion, and Sun Ce asked the doctor to immediately apply medicine and bandage it. Jian Yong was sweating in pain, and his teeth bit his lips, but he still grabbed Sun Ce.

"General, Jiao Touch was killed by Guan Yu, the battalion collapsed, and the other battalions were originally immovable, thinking that there was an order first. Now he moved the four battalions to surround and kill, he must be afraid, if the general can attack from one side, with the general's tiger might, Yuan Tan will definitely be frightened, and he will take it as his business. In this way, Liu Bei and others will have a chance to break out of the encirclement. ”

Sun Ce looked at Jian Yong. "You have a good rest, I'll discuss it with Bonghyo." He motioned for the healer to send him to the baggage camp and let him go with the convoy carrying the grain. Jian Yong nodded again and again, and bowed his hand to Guo Jia, asking him to persuade Sun Ce to send troops.

Sun Ce pulled Guo Jia to the side and said softly: "Fengxiao, how can you save it?" ”

"The method that Jian Yong said is very good." Guo Jia said softly: "Zhang Miao has not moved so far, presumably he is watching from the wall." Yuan Tan now has to guard not only against the general, but also against Zhang Miao, although there are many troops, he may not dare to go all out. As long as the general shows the banner and makes an offensive posture, Yuan Tan can't help but pay attention to it, so that Liu Bei will have a chance to get out. Even if he can't get out, that's his luck, and he can't complain about the general. ”

Sun Ce knew that he had guessed correctly, Guo Jia didn't really want to save Liu Bei, and the starting point was his reputation. However, he had a different idea. cooperated with Yuan Tan before and acted in a few scenes together, Yuan Tan may really think that he is very capable of fighting, if he is not sober, he may do something. In case he sends people out of the camp to pursue, he will not be able to control the proportions, and if he does not do well, he will suffer. Take this opportunity to knock and beat him, hurt him, so that he does not dare to act rashly, so that he can walk more calmly.

"Since you want to save it, you would rather trigger it than trigger it, and you can't do it perfunctory, and mental slackness will be seen by the opponent, and it will hurt the big thing." Sun Ce said softly: "If there is a chance, I will really kill Yuan Tan's Chinese army, so that he will not dare to act rashly." ”

Guo Jia was taken aback. "General, Yuan Tan's formation is very tight, no matter which direction you break through, you have to break through at least one big battalion."

"Liu Bei's five hundred people can break through a big camp, but I can't?"

"This ...... The courage of the horseman, it is okay not to fight. Guo Jia said curtly: "Liu Bei must regret it at this moment, and regret not being at the beginning." General ......"

Sun Ce smiled and shook his hand. "Alright, I know what you mean, I'll be careful."

Guo Jia was inexplicably worried. His starting point is right, but the situation in front of him is indeed dangerous, if he only bluffs and attracts Yuan Tan's attention, then it will naturally be no problem. But if Sun Ce really wanted to raid Yuan Tan's camp, it would be very dangerous. Liu Bei has already fallen into it, and if Sun Ce is trapped again, his suggestion will be self-defeating.

Sun Ce turned around and looked around. "Where's Xu Huang?"

Xu Huang flashed out from the side and bowed his hand. "General."

"Protect filial piety, and there must be no mistakes."

"Please rest assured, General." Xu Huang beckoned, and all the soldiers who did not go out of the task stood up and surrounded Guo Jia in the middle. These people were originally rangers in the Shaobi area, and they were selected by Guo Jia to join the scout camp, teach them to read and write, and train with the Yicong camp every day.

Sun Ce turned over and shouted: "Raise the fire and show the battle flag." Beat the drum and tell Yuan Tan that I'm coming. ”

"Whoa!" Xu Chu answered, took the torch from his hand, and raised it high. Dian Wei took the big silk and unfolded it with a bang. The firelight illuminated the phoenix on the flag, shining in the darkness, and the phoenix embroidered with gold silk seemed to be alive and ready to fly.

The righteous servants and pro-riders lit the torches one after another, with Sun Ce as the center, and spread out to both sides, and a long dragon suddenly appeared in the originally silent wilderness. With the cooperation of the sound of war drums, more than 3,000 people slowly pressed towards Yuan Tan's camp, silent and full of pressure.

The secret sentinels outside the camp appeared from their hiding places and ran towards the camp. Sun Ce's own scouts returned one after another, ready to fight.

Seeing this, the Zhengbei camp, which was moving eastward, immediately closed the camp door and sounded the drum of the alarm to inform Yuan Tan of the Chinese army. Before Yuan Tan heard the sound of the drums, he had already noticed the group of centaurs that suddenly appeared in the darkness. He didn't know if it was Sun Ce, and he didn't know why these people suddenly revealed their identities, but he knew that he must not be careless. Compared with Liu Bei and others who were fighting fiercely outside the East Gate, this was the real opponent.

Is it finally coming? Yuan Tan took a deep breath and slowly spit it out. He squinted his eyes, looked at the fire dragon that stretched for more than a mile in the distance, and looked at the big flag in the center, although it was too far away to see the emblem on it clearly, he could clearly feel the other party's strong fighting spirit and confidence in victory.

Yuan Tan quickly assessed the number of the other party, shook his head, dispelled the plan to let the Zhengbei battalion face the enemy alone, and ordered the northeast battalion to withdraw part of its men and horses, stick to the battalion, and be ready to meet the Zhengbei battalion at any time. As for Liu Bei, let's trap him first, anyway, he has been disabled and can't make any waves. It's just a bait, and life and death have nothing to do with the overall situation.
