Sun Ce thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't find a feasible way to crack it, so he simply put it aside first and went to answer Sun Jian first.

He got up and made a gesture, and Ma Chao immediately greeted excitedly: "Go, go." Then he asked Sun Ce, "General, who are you chasing?" ”

"No one chases."

Ma Chao's face suddenly collapsed. "Don't chase? Just let them run away like that? ”

Sun Ce ignored him, walked to the ox cart, and looked at Wen Chou. Wen Chou was taken back by Pound, his wounds were all ruptured, he lost too much blood, and he was dying. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect this person's life to be really hard, just immortal, and he kept hanging that breath.

"General, cut it, just like him, if he is saved, he will be a waste, and he will not live to be forty years old." Ma Chao followed and complained: "Ling Ming, you are really, what are you bringing back for, wouldn't it be more convenient to bring a head?" ”

Pound was silent. Sun Ce disagreed with Ma Chao's opinion. If you kill him at the time, you will kill him, it is normal to die on the battlefield, even if he was only injured by mistake, it would be inhumane to kill him now, even if you throw him in the swamp and wait for death, it is better than killing him directly.

"Find a car in the neighborhood and take him."

Ma Chao pursed his lips and looked at Pound. "You got into trouble, you have to find a way to solve it."

Pound replied sullenly, turned around and went to the Mud Mother Pavilion. After a while, he returned with an ox cart. The car was covered with straw, and grass ash was laid under the straw, and a handful of straw was placed next to it. Sun Ce saw it in his eyes and didn't say anything, but he was a little more impressed by Pound's carefulness. Wen Chou's wound is still bleeding, and the grass ash can suck blood. It is estimated that if Wen Chou dies, he will be buried by digging a pit, so as not to expose his body to the wilderness. When we meet in Pingshui, we are both enemies and friends, which can be regarded as the full expression of benevolence and righteousness.

Just after walking a short distance, Sun Ce met Han Dang. After discovering that Yuan Tan had withdrawn his troops, Sun Jian sent Han Dang out of the camp to reconnoitre, and it was not difficult to determine Yuan Tan's whereabouts, but it took a little time to find Sun Ce.

"How's my Ah Weng feeling?" Sun Ce asked.

"Of course." Han Dang said with a smile: "I thought I was going to lose completely this time, but I didn't expect the general to come so suddenly, and directly stunned Yuan Tan, and actually reversed the situation." ”

Sun Ce was surprised, and turned his head to look at Han Dang. Han Dang was sincerely happy, Jun's face was full of excitement, and he didn't see any depression or depression at all. Seeing Sun Ce looking at him, Han Dang understood and couldn't help laughing. "Don't worry, it's not that the prince hasn't lost a battle, it's much worse than this, as long as he doesn't die, he has a chance to pull the bill. If you suffer a little loss, you will regret and blame yourself, and seek death and life, how can the prince come to this day. ”

Sun Ce smiled dumbly. He has always been worried that Sun Jian will be in a bad mood when he is hit by this blow, but he has forgotten how Sun Jian has come all the way, in terms of resistance to blows, Sun Jian is much stronger than him. His worries about Sun Jian are simply unfounded.

Letting go of the psychological burden, Sun Ce relaxed a lot. He kept walking north, came to Sun Jian's camp, and met Zhu Zhi. Zhu Zhi is packing up the camp and preparing for evacuation. When Sun Ce asked, he learned that Sun Jian took Huang Gai and two thousand soldiers who were still capable of fighting to follow Yuan Tan. He wanted to chase after him, but after thinking about it, he just asked Han Dang to go for reinforcements.

After waiting for most of the day, in the evening, Sun Jian and Han Dang came back. Although Yuan Tan retreated, he was very well arranged, especially Cheng Yu, the camp was tightly organized, Sun Jian didn't find any opportunity, watched Cheng Yu cross Surabaya, dismantle the pontoon bridge, and retreated.

The bonfire was lit and the father and son sat opposite each other, with nothing to eat or drink, just some rice balls and beef.

"What's the plan?" Sun Jian took the initiative to ask.

"I originally wanted to take Changyi, but Yuan Tan is very stable, and there is not much chance." Sun Ce said: "What is Ah Weng's plan? ”

"I'm not very good at making plans." Sun Jian said: "I am still more accustomed to executing plans. At the beginning, when he asked Xu Zhao, he listened to Zang Assassin Shi, when he asked for the Yellow Turban, he listened to Zhu Gong, and when he asked Dong Zhuo, he listened to General Yuan. Now that General Yuan has entrusted you with the future, you naturally have to take up this responsibility. Yuzhou has already left me stumbling, not to mention the entire Central Plains. ”

Sun Jian bit a piece of meat, chewed it slowly, and said with a wry smile: "These families can't be killed, they can't be killed, I really don't know what to do." ”

Sun Ce nodded. "Okay, I'll take care of the family. After taking Hulu, you will first go back to Pei County to rest, and if the war requires it, I will send someone to inform you. ”

"You want to take Sanyo?"

"Let's try, I'm not sure." Sun Ce scratched his head. "Yuan Tan retreated too quickly, the losses were limited, and we could recover our strength by replenishing food and ordnance, and it was more than enough to defend the city, and we had no advantage in terms of troops. The weather is getting warmer, the rain is increasing, and it is not conducive to marching and fighting, so we can only wait for autumn. ”

Sun Jian sighed, full of envy. "Yes, there are protégés and old officials everywhere in the Yuan family, and there are so many people who want to vote for them, they want money and money, and they want people, which is like us, and it is already stretched thin if we save thousands of people."

Sun Ce smiled. "Ah Weng, a large number of people is not necessarily a good thing, it is possible to unite as one, or it may have a ghost. If there were more people who could win, it would not be the Qin State that unified the world in the first place. ”

Sun Jian laughed and nodded again and again. "Reasonable, reasonable." He touched Sun Yi's head. "Boy, did you hear it, I want to learn from your eldest brother in the future, be polite to scholars, don't just know how to be brave and ruthless."

Sun Yi nodded vigorously. "Well, Awn, I see."

——

The next day, Yan Xing arrived with his troops and brought the latest news.

Guo Jia led the main force to Hulu, but Hulu made Lü Qian refuse to surrender, and Guo Jia was planning to attack the city. When Sun Ce asked, he learned that Lu Su and Dong Xi had not yet divided their troops and set off. Guo Jia planned to divide his troops after taking Hulu, otherwise there would only be 10,000 people attacking the city, and he was worried that the troops would be insufficient and the losses would be relatively large.

Sun Ce sighed secretly. The fighter plane was fleeting. If Cao Ang really went to Rencheng or Lu Guo as he expected, it would be impossible for Lu Su and them to detour to Rencheng now. But this is also not to blame Guo Jia. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and scouts alone cannot maintain timely communication, let alone in enemy territory. Guo Jia didn't know the situation here, and could only judge according to the situation he was facing, and he couldn't let the lake and land go without attacking Rencheng.

Sun Ce then rushed to Hulu to join Guo Jia.

After meeting, before he had time to exchange information, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Does the general know that Xin Gezhi is injured?" ”

"Because of me?" Sun Ce was surprised. He didn't seem to hurt Simbi at the time, and he regretted it for a long time. Why did you just let Xin Bi go at that time, at least he should have killed him with the overlord.

"It should be, he was seriously injured, if it wasn't for Hua Tuo, he might have died."

Sun Ce felt a little more comfortable, exchanged the situation, and then asked Guo Jiadao: "What should we do now, wait?" ”

Guo Jia didn't think twice. "Take the lake and land first, and then take Changyi."

"Changyi?"

Guo Jia shook the feather fan, confident. "I heard that Yuan Tan vomited blood. This battle was ugly, and the reputation he had accumulated before was ruined, so how could he give up. These children of the family value the most false name, not to mention that there is a father who is even more vain behind him, a younger brother who was born out of thin air. If he doesn't win this face back, how can he keep his position as the eldest son? If people have no desire, they are strong, but if they have desires, they are flaws. ”
