Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled Ma Chao to calm down and not be in a hurry.

"How was Cheng Gong's battle yesterday?"

"It went well, and most of the people were well rested, except for the soldiers who collected the prisoners. Yesterday's battle, about half an hour before and after, and the losses were not much, and the bandits were frightened, and they were defeated after not holding it out for long. Guo Jia looked at Zulang and said with a smile: "You don't have to blame yourself, you can fight like that, you have worked hard." ”

Zu Lang was embarrassed, arched his hands, and his face was flushed.

"What did Zhou Xin tell you, did it mean that General Sun was brave and unscrupulous, and he liked to take risks, but he didn't notice it for a while, so he fell for the trick?"

Zu Lang stared at Guo Jia in surprise, unable to believe his ears. That's what Zhou Xin's envoy said, could it be that the envoy was sent by Guo Jia?

Guo Jia laughed. "Don't look at me like that. When I heard you shouting to kill corrupt officials and beg for peace, I knew that you were either deceived or deceived. Either way, you will surely lose. Don't worry, stay in the camp for a few days and understand that General Sun may have a lot of problems, but he can't be linked to corruption. ”

Zu Lang gave up his hand again and again, but his face was disapproving. Not corrupt? It's also possible that they will grab it directly. Doesn't it take money to raise so many parts, where did he get the money? It's just that now that he has been captured, he has to admit it temporarily.

Guo Jia didn't say anything more, and continued to discuss with Sun Ce how to deal with Chen Deng's matter. Zu Lang stood aside, very uncomfortable. He is a general, Sun Ce can't let him participate in such a meeting, now it's a mess, I didn't think about it, I think of him later, I will definitely drive him out. Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to ask for the bill. He was thinking about how to phrase it, when Sun Ce suddenly said, "How is Zu Xiang's injury?" ”

"The doctor has already treated the wound, if he can survive these few days, it shouldn't be a big problem, just a period of rest."

Zu Lang understood and immediately said, "Thank you, General, I want to go and see my brother." ”

Sun Ce glanced at him and knew what he meant. "It's okay, you go to the camp for a walk, take care of the wound, and come back later."

Zu Lang gave up his command, turned around and went out. He waited outside the tent for a while. He was newly surrendered, and Sun Ce pretended to be generous and let him move freely in the camp, and always arranged for a few people to monitor him in the name of escorting. He waited for a long time, but found that no one came at all, and he was a little puzzled for a while, and it was not easy to enter the account to ask, so he had to leave suspiciously. After asking a few people, he found the baggage camp, and before he entered the camp gate, he was startled by a large camp next to him.

There were a lot of wooden boxes and straw bales piled up in that big camp, covered with rainproof grass mats, overlapping and stacked, quite spectacular, there were soldiers patrolling, and when he saw him, he shouted: "Which battalion are you from, what do you see, there will be no less one for you, it's useless to see what you shouldn't see, hurry up, what should you do, what should you do." ”

Zu Lang hurriedly turned around and left, and heard the soldiers behind him muttering: "Look at this cowardice, it should be a bandit, or an official." ”

"But isn't it, looking at his armor, he should still be a big official, and it's not easy to survive. Hehe, it's not a comfort to be targeted by those guys in the crossbow camp. ”

Zu Lang remembered the two crossbowmen when he was in battle, the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily, and he quickly turned around and walked into the baggage camp. The guards guarding the camp gate glanced at him. "You are Zu Lang Zu Handsome, come to see Zu Xiang?"

"Exactly."

"Let's go in, Zu Xiang is in the third tent on the left."

"You...... Do you know I'm coming? ”

"Just received the order." The soldier looked at the new knife at Zulang's waist and grinned. "Welcome to abandon the darkness and become the commander of General Sun."

Zu Lang's face was flushed, and he quickly stepped into the camp. He kind of understood. Sun Ce had already spread the news of his surrender to the battalions, so he could walk freely in the battalions. It's just that this efficiency is too high, Sun Ce didn't return to the camp for a long time, and he didn't look at his special arrangements, when did he pass the order?

As Zu Lang approached the tent, he could smell the smell of blood and medicine, as well as groans of pain. He walked to the third tent on the left-hand side, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zu Xiang. Zu Xiang was lying on the hospital bed, his abdomen wrapped in a cloth, and there were blood stains oozing from the cloth. But Zu Xiang looked awake, and when he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes and turned his head to look.

"Didn't you just change the medicine, what's the matter, hey, Dashuai, why are you here?"

Zu Xiang was surprised and delighted, and was about to get up with his hands on the bed, but Zu Lang hurriedly stepped forward and held him down and let him lie down. Zu Xiang didn't insist, and said with a smile: "I thought you ran away, but it turned out that you still didn't run away." ”

Zulang glared at him. "You're embarrassed to say, before I let you do it, you rushed out, but you didn't even catch a round, and you broke your sharpness in vain."

Zu Xiang looked innocent. "Then you can't blame me, who let me have bad luck and ran into that kid."

"Is that kid strong?"

"Of course it's very strong, it's said to be ......" Zu Xiang thought about it and laughed twice. In fact, it's nothing, but I just heard from the people in the camp that he can be on a par with Chen Zhi, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, etc., but he is not the most powerful, and there are many masters around General Sun. Alas, by the way, have you ever met a Xiliang man named Yan Xing, listen to them, Yan Xing is also very good at fighting, and his hundred cavalry are all elite. ”

Zu Lang's mind came to the image of a hundred knights riding horses, throwing short spears, and killing his personal guard battalion to pieces, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his heart jumped violently, not knowing how to answer Zu Xiang. Zu Xiang was right, Yan Xing's martial arts were not weaker than that young guard, and if Zu Xiang met him, the result would not be much better.

He looked at him left and right, and opened the tent for a while, and saw that there was no one on duty outside the tent, and only the healers and handymen were in a hurry, so he returned to sleep and whispered, "No one is looking at you?" ”

"What are you looking at me for? I couldn't move. ”

Zu Lang reached out to hug Zu Xiang, but Zu Xiang hurriedly pushed him away. "Where do you want to go?"

"What else can you do, go back to Jing County. Sun Ce is busy, as long as I can take you out of the camp, I will have a chance to escape. ”

"You still want to fight General Sun?" Zu Xiang looked at Zu Lang and reached out to hold him down, telling him not to worry. "20,000 troops were wiped out, and they didn't last a day, are you still not convinced? How many people are there in Zubao, even if you flee back, who will take you seriously? Do you believe that they hear the news and will soon come to you for trouble? ”

Zulang was surprised. "Listen to you, you're still going to surrender like that?"

"What's so bad about surrendering? In peacetime, there is a military salary, if you win, you will be rewarded, if you are injured, you will have a good doctor and medicine, and if you are injured or die, you will have a pension. The family can work in the workshop to earn money, and the children can read and write, where can such good things be found? You go to the tent next door and ask, how many brothers are willing to go back and be bandits? ”

Zu Lang was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he say, "Who ...... Who told you this? You're not hurt in your stomach, you're in a broken head, right? Did Sun Ce give you a trick, why are you talking nonsense here. ”

Zu Xiang couldn't cry or laugh, and stretched out his hand to push Zu Lang out. "I won't tell you, but since you're here, go and see the other brothers and hear what they have to say. Go, go, go. ”

Suspicious, Zulang hesitated to step out of the tent and walk towards the tent next door.
