Chapter 41: Preparing for Soldiers
"Yan Baihu is in control of the two cities of Wucheng and the old town and their nearby areas, and the old town is under the jurisdiction of Danyang County, and he passed on a certain order to order Yan Baihu to withdraw from the old town, if not, he is an enemy of a certain and an enemy of the Danyang army."
Sun Ce commanded in a deep voice.
"The lord is wise!"
Han Dang spoke crisply.
"The lord has arranged it so properly!"
Jia Xu smiled and nodded.
"If he Yan Baihu simply quits his hometown, then he will continue to force 6, if he doesn't retreat, then he will just take advantage of the situation to destroy him."
Sun Ce also smiled and spoke.
"General Huang, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Sun Ce handed over the task to Huang Gai.
"The last general commands!"
"Ding Dong!" The current situation of the host was detected and the task "Destroy Yan Baihu" was released.
Reward 1: Kill Yan Baihu and destroy his forces within one month, and reward the host with a chance to summon a first-class fierce general.
Reward 2: Kill Yan Baihu and destroy his forces within three months, and reward the host with a chance to summon a quasi-first-class fierce general.
Reward 3: Kill Yan Baihu and destroy his forces within half a year, and reward the host second-rate fierce general with a chance to summon once.
Task punishment: If you can't kill Yan Baihu or destroy the forces under it within half a year, you will randomly erase a second-rate or above talent under the host's command.
"What's going on, and why is there a penalty?"
Sun Ce was not surprised at all by the task reward, after all, this was the first princely power that Sun Ce had challenged.
"This is the host's first opponent, if the host can't even destroy Yan Baihu, how can we talk about dominating the world, punishment is used to motivate the host."
Sun Ce didn't speak again, because he knew that it was meaningless to speak, but punishment could indeed motivate Sun Ce, which Sun Ce had to admit.
……
"My lord, Sun Ce sent someone to inform us and let our people quit their hometown."
Yan Baihu met with his subordinates in his hometown.
"He Sun Ce won't think that he has repelled the men and horses of Jingzhou, he is really invincible in the world!"
Yan Baihu sneered, Sun Ce defeated Huang Zu and repelled the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, Yan Baihu naturally knew that in terms of strength, he was not as good as the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Huang Zu, and it should be said that he was not as good as Sun Ce more than half a year ago in terms of strength.
But even so, he still didn't take Sun Ce to heart, or he didn't believe that Sun Ce could defeat him, the reason why he was so was because he had his own support, Liu Miao in the north, and Wang Lang in the south.
"Lord, Sun Ce's subordinates have many capable people, and the strength is even greater than that of our army, so it is better to inform Liu Taishou according to his subordinates."
The subordinates said worriedly, most of Yan Baihu and Liu Miao know about their relationship, but only a few people know about their relationship with Wang Lang.
"Do you think that a certain person can't compete with Sun Ce? Well! ”
With a raised brow, Yan Baihu looked extremely unhappy.
"That's not what the subordinates meant!"
The subordinates hurriedly bent down and apologized.
"It is naturally clear when to notify Liu Xuan, but the refusal of Sun Ce must be carried out immediately, I have heard of the succession of the title, but I have never heard of the inheritance of the position of Taishou, what qualifications does he have to drive someone out."
Not to mention, Sun Ce is indeed qualified to manage Yan Baihu, because now Sun Ce is already a real Danyang Taishou, not long ago Sun Ce sent someone to Chang'an, found Li Ru in the name of Jia Xu, and then obtained the holy decree of Danyang Taishou with the support of Li Ru.
Yan Baihu's attitude quickly spread to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce was naturally happy about it, because he had a justifiable reason to attack Yan Baihu, and there was a reason for righteousness and obedience compared to the title of Wucheng Hou.
"In this battle, I will personally lead the troops, which of the generals are willing to go along?"
Sun Ce said in a deep voice.
"The last will go!"
Li Tao was the first to speak.
"The last will go!"
"The last will go!"
Xue Rengui, Huang Gai and others vied to speak.
"Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang!"
"The last general!"
Huang Gai and the three of them were out of the queue at the same time.
"The three of you are all veterans, not only have outstanding achievements and rich experience, but also are highly respected people in the Danyang Army, but there are naturally both troops and stays, so the three of you will leave two lieutenant generals, and the remaining one will go with a certain one."
Sun Ce said in a deep voice.
The three of you looked at me, I looked at you, they were very embarrassed for a while, they originally thought that Sun Ce would take the three of them directly, but they never thought that they would only bring one person in the end.
"Therefore, it belongs to a subordinate, and the subordinate thinks that he should be accompanied by his subordinate."
Huang Gai was the first to speak.
"Huang Gai, you're right, since you have already participated in this battle, then you can give the two of me the opportunity next, according to a certain opinion, it is better not to go with the lord."
Although Huang Gai seized the opportunity, Cheng Pu and the others did not give up, but used Huang Gai's reason to let Huang Gai not go.
"Dare to ask the lord, will Cheng Jie, the son of Cheng Pu, follow the lord?"
Han Dang asked.
Hearing Han Dang's words, Sun Ce instantly understood what Han Dang meant, and replied as a matter of course,
"Naturally!"
"In that case, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu shouldn't go to war with the lord,"
Han Dang took the opportunity to speak, and his tone was serious, sounding so natural.
"Han Dang, what do you mean by that?"
Han Dang's words not only made Huang Gai dissatisfied, but also Cheng Pu very dissatisfied.
"Huang Gai has already made meritorious deeds, and it doesn't make much sense to continue, your Cheng Pu's son is about to go out with the lord, and your Cheng family also has merit, one has not made meritorious service, and the other has no heirs to join the army, this time it is natural and reasonable to go on an expedition."
Han Dang said as he should.
"Nonsense!"
"Vexatious!"
Han Dang's words were fiercely opposed by Huang Gai and the others.
"Okay, don't argue, General Han Dang will follow this expedition, and General Huang and General Cheng will stay in Danyang."
Sun Ce said with a smile.
"Lord!"
Hearing Sun Ce say this, the two of them suddenly became anxious and hurriedly spoke.
"Do you think it's inappropriate?"
Sun Ce's face sank instantly, his eyebrows raised, and a majesty enveloped Huang Gai and the others.
"The subordinates don't dare!"
Huang Gai, Cheng Pu hurriedly admitted his mistake.
"This time, in addition to General Han Dang, Li Tao, Xue Li, Xin Hong, Cheng Jie, Xie Ke, and Hua Rong accompanied a certain person."
Sun Ce no longer paid attention to Huang Gai and the others, and spoke again.
"No!"
The people named by Sun Ce stood up one after another.
"This expedition will bring 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will be led by the remaining generals to guard against the enemy in Jingzhou and other places."
"No!"
"The food baggage also needs the teacher to assist the army!"
Finally, Sun Ce mentioned Fang Xuanling.
"It's a subordinate business!"
Fang Xuanling did not refuse.
"Let's leave it at that, the day of the army is half a month later, so prepare as soon as possible."
"No!"
……
Half a month was nothing at all, and it passed quickly.
On this day, Sun Ce left Danyang County with a large army and marched towards the place where Yan Baihu was entrenched.
……
