In the second year of Xingping (195 AD), Danyang County, fifty miles south of Moling County.

In the big tent, everyone is fighting for a lively life.

"In my opinion, it's better to bypass Zhen Rong and Xue Li and go straight to Liu Xuan, why waste troops here! Youping, what do you say? "The person who spoke was called Jiang Qin, the word Gongyi, and he was one of the night marshals under the seat of the Seven Sages and Old Zhang Zhao.

The person named by him is called Zhou Tai, the word is Youping, and he is also the night handsome of the Seven Sages.

Zhou Tai touched his chin and nodded. Jiang Qin was just happy that someone agreed with him, but he didn't want Zhou Tai to say that his opinion was not exactly the same.

"Gongyi, you said that the preservation strength is good, but we can't leave them alone. Xue Li defended the Moling Tomb, it was difficult to capture for a while, but Zhu Rong was outside the city, and there was no strong wall to rely on, if he could be defeated, it could boost the morale of our army, and second, it could also be supplemented a little. ”

"But once Xue Li sends troops to rescue, my army is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with." Jiang Qin retorted.

"Indeed, although our army has replenished grain, grass and ordnance in Niuzhu, its strength has always been insufficient. If they are besieged here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a long-term plan. Among the veterans who have not spoken, Cheng Pu took the lead in speaking.

"That's what my predecessors said. However, the younger generation thinks that if our army can attack quickly and defeat Zhenrong before Xue Li makes a move, it may not be impossible. Ling Cao said respectfully.

"Demou, the juniors are strong-blooded, why do you want to pour cold water on them." Huang Gai smiled and patted Cheng Pu's shoulder.

"Humph! I was treated as a good person by you again and again, but I made a black face. Cheng Pu shook his shoulders and shook off Huang Gai's hand.

Sun Ce sat in the middle, his chin crossed with his fingers crossed, and he didn't speak.

Behind him, his second brother, Sun Quan, who was only thirteen years old, was smiling. He knew in his heart what his eldest brother thought, but as the youngest person, he didn't need to speak here.

Just as everyone was insisting on their opinions and arguing with each other, a person quietly walked in from outside the tent.

"Hehe, I heard your noise from afar, it's so lively." The visitor said with a smile.

"I'm afraid that no one in this tent can make noise as you alone. How's that, Gongjin, is my mother's business done? Sun Ce opened his mouth for the first time, because the person who came in was Zhou Yu, who he had been waiting for.

Sun Quan in the back secretly winked at Zhou Yu, of course Zhou Yu understood what he meant.

"I wonder what makes you so interested?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Humph!" Cheng Pu snorted, "Stinky boy, don't ask knowingly, it's not that the strategy for entering the army is different." ”

"What's the objection?" Zhou Yu suddenly became interested.

"Opinions on how to advance, where to attack, and where to get out of the way are almost completely different." Sun Ce explained.

"It's nothing more than a sneak attack on Zhen Rong who is stationed outside, an attack on Xue Li who is holding on to Moling, and a direct attack on Liu Xuan who is sitting in Qu'a, right?" Zhou Yu already knew what everyone was fighting for.

"Whew! I just said that you kid, since you know, why ask again. Cheng Pu was so angry that his beard stood up.

"Okay, Demou, if you always have this temper, I'm afraid that I won't live for a few years, and I will have to worship every year after you die, how troublesome it will be." Huang Gai teased beside him.

"Get out! The old man said that he would not die in front of you. ”

"Gong Jin, what do you think should be?" Sun Ce didn't want to listen to a few seniors arguing anymore, so he asked Zhou Yu loudly.

"What you are worried about is the solution." Zhou Yu deliberately sold Guanzi.

"Hurry up!" Cheng Pu shouted, if it wasn't for Huang Gai pulling, he would have rushed over a long time ago.

"What you are worried about is nothing more than the lack of strength of our army, whether it should be consumed with Zhenrong and Xue Li. But have you ever thought that if we let these two men go alone and take a detour directly to attack Qu'a, in case they attack the rear of our army with their men, then we will have to deal with three groups of men and horses at the same time. Zhou Yu took a step back and said. He didn't dare to guarantee that General Huang would be able to hold Cheng Pu, and if he was freed, he wouldn't be able to fight back if he was beaten.

"Let's be straight, Gong Jin, what do you mean?" Sun Ce asked while helping to hold down Cheng Pu.

"Bo Fu, do you remember how you deployed it when you were in Shu County?"

Sun Ce smiled after hearing this, "How could there be a deployment that time, it was just a matter of cutting down when encountering the enemy." ”

Zhou Yu no longer spoke, but nodded.

Including Cheng Pu, everyone looked at Zhou Yu with surprised eyes, except for Sun Quan. Because he knows that this is the best and only way.

Although Sun Ce didn't want to bypass Zhen Rong and Xue Li like this, he didn't want to rush over and fight directly.

"You kid don't talk nonsense to the old man!" Cheng Pu broke out again.

"Gongjin, hurry up and explain it to Demou, otherwise the old man won't be able to help you." Huang Gai sneered.

Cheng Pu has a violent temper, and Zhou Yu sometimes likes to provoke him, which makes everyone desperately stop him every time.

"Cheng Gong," Zhou Yu arched his hand at Cheng Pu, "Although there are not many people in our army now, they are all led by several predecessors back then, and the elite soldiers who have followed the ancestors to fight on the battlefield together, each with one enemy and one hundred. Now that we are assisting Bofu to seize Jiangdong, if we are afraid of the head and tail, we will be attacked by the princes everywhere. Therefore, only by fighting bravely and fighting morale can we deter the heroes and make them dare not rashly become enemies of our army. ”

"Yes, Cheng Gong, Gong Jin's words are also what my nephew thinks. Instead of working hard to think about a plan, it is better to go all out and break through. Sun Ce also expressed his affirmation.

"I can't say it anymore! That's exactly what the old man meant. Then this first battle will be handed over to the old man...... You don't need to follow! Cheng Pu saw that Huang Gai was also going to ask for his life, so he hurriedly held him down and stopped him.

"Cheng Demou, count you ruthless! I'll see how you can do it! Huang Gai didn't expect this old guy to leave him, so he was so angry that he knocked off Cheng Pu's hand holding his shoulder.

"Cheng Gong, it's better for the juniors to go with you. It's okay......" Ling Cao asked kindly, but was forced back by Cheng Pu's vicious eyes.

"No one has to follow the old man! The old man goes by himself! Ce'er, send 2,000 men to the old man, don't want Zhou Yu's men! ”

Everyone looked at the back of the old man walking out of the big tent, and they couldn't help but laugh.

This old man, it's really hard to mess with!

……

Hearing that a veteran general in Sun Ce's army only brought 2,000 people to challenge, Zhen Rong was a little light on the enemy and brought 5,000 men and horses out of the camp to line up.

"The old thing on the other side, a handful of people who are not at home for a few days, have to come here and be in a hurry to die, right?" As usual, Zhen Rong raised his voice and said provocatively.

"Bunny, what so much nonsense!" Cheng Pu slapped the horse's ass and rushed directly to the enemy formation. The more than 2,000 people behind him didn't react at first, until Cheng Pu ran far away, and then shouted and followed.

"What an arrogant old horseman! Soldiers, kill me! Zhen Rong didn't expect Cheng Pu to be a violent temper and would rush over directly. But he didn't care, so he ordered his men to attack.

But when the two sides came into contact, Zhenrong was dumbfounded.

This old man's martial arts are completely inconsistent with his age! A big knife was flipped up and down by him, dancing left and right, and wherever the blade went, it was the screams of the soldiers on his side.

Only then did Zhen Rong realize that he had encountered a hard stubble. He took his war horse and rushed into the war group.

Cheng Pu flicked his big knife and knocked away an enemy who wanted to sneak attack his next plate, and happened to see the oncoming Zhirong, so he threw down the pawn next to him and ran over.

Judging by Zhen Rong, although this old man is brave, he is old after all. If he uses some clever tricks, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to react.

Thinking of this, Zhen Rong slammed the tail of the gun at Cheng Pu's front door. According to his plan, Cheng Pu would raise his long knife to block, and he could take advantage of this moment to reverse the spear and stab Cheng Pu in the armpit.

But the truth was not as he expected, Cheng Pu did not block, but forcibly caught this blow with his left hand.

Before Zhen Rong could react, Cheng Pu suddenly exerted force in his crotch, took the war horse to spin in place, and pulled his left hand to the right, almost pulling Zhen Rong off the war horse.

Zhen Rong pulled the gun back with all his strength to stabilize his body. But Cheng Pu did not accept the recruitment, but with the strength of his body, he threw the big knife from behind his back with his right hand.

Zhen Rong was so frightened that he hurriedly let go of the spear and flashed on his back. Just as he was about to get up, he was suddenly hit hard in the chest, and a mouthful of blood spat out.

It turned out that Cheng Pu had snatched the spear with his left hand followed by the broadsword and launched another attack.

At this time, Cheng Pu's subordinates had already made contact with the enemy, and the two sides were fighting fiercely. Seeing this, Zhenrong's soldiers hurriedly came to support him.

Although Cheng Pu wanted to kill him, he was helplessly entangled by several enemies. Zhen Rong took this opportunity and fled back to the camp with the help of his subordinates.

……

At the gate of Sun Ce's army camp, the generals were watching the battle with great interest under the leadership of Sun Ce.

"This old guy, at such an old age, is he not afraid of flashing his waist?" Huang Gai still holds a grudge because Cheng Pu doesn't bring himself.

"Bo Fu, being troubled by Cheng Gong, I'm afraid that Zhen Rong won't dare to underestimate our army now." Zhou Yu said with a solemn face.

"Why, isn't that exactly what you planned? Let the prestige of our army penetrate deep into the hearts of the enemy. Jiang Qin asked puzzled.

"Yes, but I'm afraid that after this time, Zhenrong won't fight casually."

"With you Zhou Gongjin here, am I still worried that he won't come out?" Sun Ce said with a smile.

"At least Cheng Gong had a good time this time......" Ling Cao helplessly pointed to the battlefield in front of him.

Everyone looked over there and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The enemy army has retreated, but it seems that Cheng Pu's fighting spirit has not disappeared, and he is looking around the battlefield for the enemy who has not died to replenish his sword.

The 2,000 men and horses he brought out did not lose a single soldier, but the enemy, frightened by his bravery, lost their fighting spirit and threw down hundreds of corpses.

At least this battle was a complete victory.

Zhou Yu patted Sun Ce on the shoulder and whispered, "Bo Fu, please send someone to borrow some manpower and bows from the Six Sages." ”

Sun Ce's gaze was still on the battlefield, "What, does my Sun family also rely on these tricks?" ”

"Helpless. Although the morale of our army is high, it is not easy to seize Jiangdong with only a few thousand men and horses. Their people, when it is time to use it, do not be stingy. Although some can't live with the main mother. Zhou Yu sighed and replied in a low voice.

"That's fine. I'll order Ling Cao to do it tomorrow. ”

Sun Ce raised his head, and in the sky, the sun slowly hid into the clouds......
