Chapter 6 Mountains and Rivers 28. People are not plants and trees

When the land of Xuzhou was intriguing in silence, Jiangdong never stopped fighting.

According to the established strategy, after solving the biggest enemy of Huiji Wang Lang, Sun Ce began to gradually attack those scattered hostile forces.

Among these people, the strongest is of course Yan Baihu.

In fact, Sun Ce originally hoped to win without a fight, but now that he has occupied most of the prefectures and counties in Jiangdong, it is expected that Yan Baihu may see the situation clearly and take the initiative to surrender.

Unexpectedly, this person was also a stubborn temper, not only did he not show favor to Sun Ce, but instead contacted other forces around him, wanting to fight against Sun Ce together.

The soldier was very fast, and after noticing his movement, Zhou Yu rushed over with his troops as soon as possible.

And the first person he attacked was Zou Tuo, whom Yan Baihu had just contacted.

This kind of local force basically has only about 10,000 people, and in Zhou Yu's opinion, it is not an opponent at all.

But for the sake of such a small force, Sun Ce sent 50,000 elites, and Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were also accompanied by two veterans.

Zhou Yu understood that the reason why Sun Ce was so enthusiastic was to use this battle to show his strength and deter other enemies, so that they would retreat in the face of difficulties and no longer resist.

It's just that it made Zhou Yu bitter......

"When! Quickly line up and attack the city! Cheng Pu's attitude towards Zhou Yu seems to be like this forever.

"Cheng Gong, Bo Fu wants to use this to show off his martial arts, naturally he can't attack the city as soon as he comes up, if he doesn't even persuade him to surrender, it will be too unsatisfactory." Zhou Yu didn't care, anyway, this old general's temper was like this.

"Persuade him to do much! This kind of night is small, and the old man can pull out the city in a moment! ”

"Lao Cheng, aren't you afraid of breaking your ears? Leave everything to Gong Jin. Huang Gai could only persuade from the side.

This old guy, needless to say, is brave in battle, and his loyalty is also one of the best, but he yelled at the master like this, what do the people below think.

"Humph!" Cheng Pu is good at this point - a few twilight colleagues persuaded him, and he stopped.

Zhou Yu cursed Sun Ce with a wry smile in his heart, and then ordered the troops to line up and send people to the city to persuade him to surrender first.

……

Zou Tuo listened to the meaningless words under the city, shook his head, and looked at the young man beside him.

"If you descend at this time, you may still be able to get courtesy."

Standing beside him was the ugly handsome - "Phoenix Chick" Pang Tong.

"A gentleman would rather die of righteousness than disobey his will. I only hope that Pang Yishi can deliver the letter for me. ”

Pang Tong subconsciously touched the letter in his arms and nodded.

"In fact, if you reveal your identity, how dare Sun Ce touch you in the slightest?"

"Is Pang Yishi testing me? Rest assured, I won't say that. ”

Zou Tuo is right, the reason why Pang Tong asked this is because he is afraid that he will reveal his identity.

It has nothing to do with the forces of all parties, it is completely private.

Because this Zou Tuo is the elder brother of Shen Rong's subordinate Zou Li, who is far away in Jingzhou.

Except for Xu Yuan, I am afraid that no one knows about this matter, not even Shen Rong.

When Zou Li entered the night front, Zou Tuo refused to agree in every possible way, but although this sister was quiet, she was very stubborn.

She always felt that even though she was a woman, she should do her best for the people in the world, so she did everything possible to avoid her brother's obstruction and still went.

Of course, Xu Yuan's help is indispensable.

Later, Zou Li also returned, and she told Zou Tuo about Ye Feng's morality, style of acting, and belief in punishing evil for the world.

But Zou Tuo was unmoved, he preferred to watch quietly.

Zou Li went to Yongzhou, and Zou Tuo was often worried. But he also knew that for the sake of Zou Li's good, he must not follow.

simply, he lived an ordinary life incognito, and Zou Li never mentioned him to anyone.

Later, Sun Ce crossed the river, and Zou Tuo had been secretly watching his movements.

It's just that Zou Tuo found that things were not as his sister said, what Sun Ce did was not for the world, but more like a hero competing for the world.

In the battle of Huiji, Wang Lang was defeated and fled, prompting Zou Tuo to completely firm up his thoughts.

So, he scattered his family assets and recruited heroes.

His original intention was also to unite other forces against Sun Ce, and it was at this time that Yan Baihu's envoy arrived.

If it could be a few more days, he would have to pack up his people and go to join Yan Baihu, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to come so quickly.

Looking at Pang Tong again, Zou Tuo smiled slightly and said, "You should go." ”

Pang Tong looked at this simple man, and suddenly felt some regret and sadness in his heart, so he said more: "Commander Zou, leave with me, save your life, so that you can do great things." ”

"Hehe, thank you Pang Yishi for your concern. It's just that Zou can't go anymore. ”

Indeed, Pang Tong also knew that if Zou Tuo wanted to run away at this time, he was afraid that his men would escape before him.

The result, of course, is that no one can run away.

Moreover, if Zou Tuo escaped at this time and spread the word, it would seriously affect the leadership of other forces, and there might even be a situation where someone would turn against Sun Ce.

"What's more, if I leave, won't I live up to Pang Yishi's strategy?"

What he said was the purpose of Pang Tong's trip.

Pang Tong came here by the order of the Ten Sages, and the original intention of the Ten Sages was not to expect these people to really defeat Sun Ce, but to use them to delay time.

Gain time, and the Ten Elders can train those disciples under them into an army.

To be honest, the so-called strategy planned by Pang Tong for Zou Tuo was nothing more than to lay some soldiers and horses in the houses in the city, hoping to kill the enemy commander when he was lax in patrolling the city.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Zou Tuo is a small county town that he occupied not long ago, there are almost no fortifications or equipment in it, and it is too late to make a temporary system, so Pang Tong's plan can only be like this.

Anyone could hear that this was a death move, but Zou Tuo readily agreed.

He didn't even doubt Pang Tong's identity.

It is this simplicity and simplicity that makes Pang Tong have a good impression of this person, and at the same time, he also sighs that he really shouldn't have been born in troubled times.

But fortunately, Zou Tuo begged him for something, that is, to send a letter to Zou Li for him, which made him feel a little more at ease.

……

Pang Tong slowly walked down the city, and at this time, the noisy surrendering soldier outside had already left, and only the sound of drums and horns could be heard.

He knew that the battle was about to begin.

The pergola last looked up at the city, and there was no one to see except the glare of the sun.

Pang Tong sighed, and under the protection of Zou Tuo's men, he walked towards the city gate far away from the battlefield......
