Zhou Yu successfully completed the task, not only bringing back Yuan Shu's promise that he would not take any money from the He family and that all of it would be at Sun Ce's disposal, but also brought back a list and asked Sun Ce to arrange an attack as soon as possible.

The first place on the list is He Hao's family, and the second is Xu Youjia.

Whether it is the He Hao family or the Xu You family, in fact, they are not any powerful families in Nanyang - this is a personal feud at all, because Yuan Shu hates these two people to the core. These two not only supported Yuan Shao, but also didn't give Yuan Shu any face, and they didn't even want to associate with him. Yuan Shu was very annoyed by this, and now that he had the opportunity, he naturally had to clean them up.

Sun Ce knew it and was not polite. If he wants to take advantage of the situation, he will inevitably be a knife for Yuan Shu, He Hao and Xu You are Yuan Shao's sworn friends, and it is impossible to become his person anyway, if you offend, you will be offended.

However, Sun Ce didn't do it himself, so he should leave these small jobs to his subordinates.

Defeating Lou Gui and breaking through the He family, Sun Ce captured more than 3,000 people, from which he picked out 2,000 men, and in addition to replenishing the losses of the battalions, formed another battalion. Huang Zhong's subordinate general Dong Yu was promoted to lieutenant because of his merits, and Huang Zhong needed a new subordinate general. He found Sun Ce, hoping to persuade Deng Zhan to surrender.

Sun Ce agreed. He sent someone to bring Deng Zhan over and said to him bluntly: "Give you two choices: First, follow me, start from Huang Zhong's troops, how capable you are, how many soldiers you will lead in the future, and how many officials you will be." Second, kill you, and then sweep away the Deng family, no matter whether your family is the sect master or the Shu clan, you will not let go of any of them. ”

Deng Zhan has a black line in his head. It was the first time he had seen someone so persuaded to surrender. This is persuasion, this is simply forced surrender. However, in the past two days in the baggage camp, he has seen a lot of He family members, who were originally clothed and fed, and are now the official slaves and maids of the baggage camp, working hard every day, just to change a mouthful of food. Although the Deng family is a big family in Nanyang, the manor may not be stronger than the He family, and he doesn't want his family to become official slaves.

Surrender, at least a few more days to live.

Deng Zhan surrendered, and Sun Ce immediately handed him over to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong happily pulled Deng Zhan away. Looking at Huang Zhong's happy appearance, Deng Zhan couldn't help but sneer: "Huang Hansheng, when did you become so eager for fame?" ”

Huang Zhong laughed. "Deng Ziyi, I know that you are good at learning, and you are different from me. You can be like your ancestors, I just want to follow the Ming Lord to fight on the battlefield and fight for a wife. ”

"Are you talking about Sun Ce, or Yuan Shu?"

"General Sun, of course. When General Hou was in Nanyang, he didn't have me Huang Zhong in his eyes. General Sun and I hit it off at first sight, killed the enemy side by side with me, and had the grace of knowing me. Such a person is not a master, what kind of person can be called a master? ”

Deng Zhan was silent. The Huang Zhong in front of him was full of spirit, and the Huang Zhong in his impression was like two people. It's only been a few months? It seems that although Sun Ce is frivolous and rude, he knows people well, otherwise he would not be able to make Huang Zhong fall in love with him.

"Thank you Hansheng for your help."

"Haha, Ziyi, don't be modest, General Sun already knows your name." Huang Zhong patted Deng Zhan's shoulder. "You try for a few months, and if you still want to leave after a few months, I promise not to keep you. The general blames it, and I'll take care of everything. ”

Deng Zhan looked at Huang Zhong and nodded.

——

Huang Zhong attacked He Hao's house, Dong Yu attacked Xu You's house, and with the assistance of the trebuchet, they won a big victory in only half a day, which is not as long as walking. Huang Zhong and Dong Yu reported that Sun Ce ordered them to transport part of the money to the He family, and all the rest of the people and property were sent to Nan to gather and handed over to Yuan Shu.

Taking advantage of the victory to pursue, Sun Ce attacked one after another, and continuously sent loot and prisoners to Yuan Shu. At the same time, Liu Xun and Liu Shen also sent good news, they controlled Jiangxia and Nanjun respectively, collected a large amount of grain, grass and people, and were on their way to Nanyang.

When Huang Zhong and others went on four expeditions and swept the family's Haoqiang Manor according to the list given by Yuan Shu, Sun Ce was not idle. The conditions of the He family are good, and the house is spacious, which is by no means comparable to the marching tent. The big bed is also comfortable, I don't know how many times better than the marching bed. Although Yin Ji is only twenty-nine years old, she is a married person, and the waiter is comparable to Huang Yueying. Although Yin Ji was also a middle school student in his previous life, he did not have any psychological obstacles, and naturally did something indescribable.

But these are secondary, he did a big thing, visiting Yin Duan.

The Yin family was originally from Henan, and later moved to Nanyang County. Yin Duan fought for half his life, accumulated military merits to the level of Huiji Taishou, and became one of the two thousand stones, but he didn't do it for a few years before he planted his heels, if it wasn't for Zhu Jun to take care of him, he almost lost his life. In the more than ten years of leisure, he has been waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback, but he has been disappointed. When Yin Ji grew up and looked good, he was ruthless and married Yin Ji, who was just fifteen years old, to He Jin's only son He Xian, hoping to return to officialdom with the help of General He. But He Jin's accidental death gave him a fatal blow, and Yin Duan was completely discouraged, and his hair turned white all of a sudden. A person in his sixties looks about the same as an eighty-year-old.

However, when Sun Ce saw him, his mental state was not bad, walking and lying up, quite a bit old and strong, but his breath was a little short, and he couldn't last too long. Sun Ce looked at him like this, and knew that he had been idle for too long, and the person was actually abolished, so he only supported it with one breath, and letting him lead the army to fight was almost the same as asking for his life.

Facing Yin Duan, whose eyes were hot, Sun Ce groaned for a long time. Just when the flame in Yin Duan's eyes was getting dimmer and about to be extinguished, Sun Ce said unhurriedly: "Yin Jun, I won't tell you anything, there is no shortage of brave people under my command. ”

Yin Duan's cheeks twitched, his eyelids drooped, and he nodded silently, his gray hair trembling slightly. Yin Ji turned her head and secretly wiped her tears. She didn't know Yin Duan's physical condition, she just pinned her hopes on what happened. Now that hope is shattered, I really don't know how to comfort the old man.

"However, although there is no shortage of warriors charging into battle under my account, there is a lack of an old adult to sit in the Chinese army." Sun Ce was unhurried. "I wonder if Yin Jun can succumb to the position of auxiliary military captain? If Yin Junyi is not here, I can also recommend it to General Hou, maybe he can arrange a better position for you. ”

Yin Duan hesitated. With his identity and qualifications, it is really humiliating to listen to orders under the account of a junior. If possible, of course, he would prefer to go to Yuan Shu's account to listen to orders. But Yuan Shu has been in Nanyang for so long, and he has never sent someone to contact him, and he really doesn't count him in his eyes. If he rejected Sun Ce, but was reused by Yuan Shu, he would have failed at both ends.

Seeing Yin Duan's hesitation, Yin Ji quickly helped him make a decision. "Of course, I am an auxiliary military captain, so that I can always fulfill my filial piety in front of my father."

Yin Duan was helpless, so he had to nod and say, "Just follow Grandma." ”
