Sun Ce was eating breakfast while listening to Guo Jia's introduction. When Zulang appeared outside the tent door, he beckoned.

"I'm sorry, you've been there for too long, so I'll eat first."

Zu Lang didn't take it seriously, just a kind word. But when he saw the porridge bowls, sauces, and dried meat on the table next to him, he was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Sun Ce had indeed prepared breakfast for him. His heart warmed and he arched his hand. "When I saw the injured brother, I chatted a little more, and treated the wound again, which made the general wait for a long time."

"It's okay, sit down and eat." Sun Ce grinned. "After a day of fighting, and a night of running, you must be hungry" You can't rest yet, and after eating, I have something for you to do. How about the injury, is it in the way? ”

Zu Lang hurriedly bowed. "Out of the way, flesh wounds. General, please command. ”

"Don't be so formal, sit down and eat first. Time is tight, and I don't have a rule of not eating and talking here, so we talk while eating. ”

Zu Lang couldn't help but claw, and he was not polite, he picked up the bowl and ate: At this time, Guo Jia gave a general introduction to the situation when ÷ Deng entered Shicheng, how many people there were, it is still unclear, judging from what Ma Chao saw, there were at least three or four thousand. Sun Ce has already arranged for Cheng Pu to reinforce Li Shu in Niuzhuji, and wants to block Zhou Xin on Niuzhuji. After Zulang's subordinates were dispersed, in addition to more than 1,000 people killed in battle, more than 3,000 people who loved and wounded, and more than 5,000 people who were captured, there were about 10,000 people scattered in Siye. Sun Ce hoped that Zu Lang would come forward and gather these routs so as not to be used by Chen Deng.

Zu Lang had just eaten half of it, and Sun Ce had already finished eating, pushing the bowl aside, and looking at Zu Lang with a smile. After not eating for a day and night, Zu Lang was also hungry, drank eight bowls of porridge in a row, and ate three plates of dried meat, so he put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

"It's too late for the general to regret it now."

"Regret what? Afraid you'll eat me? ”

"It's no problem for me to go to the law department, as soon as the battle flag is raised, they will come to hear the wind" After they are used to being wild, whether they are willing to accept the general's control, I dare not guarantee, maybe they will coerce me to go back to Jing County when the time comes. Don't blame me when the time comes. ”

Sun Ce stared at Zu Lang for a long time, and couldn't bear it anymore. "I said before, if you want to do it again, I don't care, but next time I grab my feet, I won't be so polite, I don't even have a severed head meal, I will send you back to heaven directly." He paused, and then said: "As the saying goes, the Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory. If you really want peace in the world and are willing to work hard for it, I can't ask for it. If you are born willing to be thieves, I will not force you, but I will treat you as thieves and cut you to the roots. I'll give you the opportunity to sore, how to sub your freedom. ”

Zu Lang arched his hand and turned out of the tent.

Sun Quan was a little worried. "Big brother, this bandit is difficult to get rid of the wildness, is it a different person?"

Sun Ce touched Sun Quan's head. "Then tell me, who is better?"

"Uh" Sun Quan rolled his eyes, thinking carefully.

Sun Ce didn't rush to urge him. Among his younger siblings, his favorites are his third brother Sun Yi and younger sister Sun Shangxiang, who have some preconceived notions about Sun Quan. But since his parents sent Sun Quan to him, he couldn't help but give him a chance to grow up, just control it a little and not let him have the opportunity to follow the old path of history. And the key to this is not Sun Quan, but himself. As long as he didn't die, Sun Quan would not have a chance to become the Emperor of Eastern Wu at all.

During this time, Sun Quan and Lu Xun often listened to their deliberations, and they grew up very quickly‰ Lu Xun spent most of his time listening to differences, Sun Quan often took the initiative to ask some questions ♀, of course, it was a good thing, and he was willing to listen to Sun Quan's opinions. He has been with Guo Jia and Pang Tong for a long time, and he has become more and more tacit, has many ideas that are the same, and often ignores the analysis process of some decisions and makes decisions directly. Whether Sun Quan and Lu Xun really understand this truth, he doesn't fully know, and sometimes he doesn't care about it.

For example, in the matter in front of them, Chen Wen and Chen Deng appeared in Shicheng, which was not in their previous plan, it was an accident. How many people are there, what is their combat strength, and whether there will be others, it is not clear ÷ Wen is the assassin of Yangzhou, he can not only replace Zhou Xin to command the defenders of Shicheng, but also recruit Wu County, Yuzhang and even the county soldiers of Huiji, the situation is very unfavorable to him, if he can't fight quickly, he will be very passive.

However, the soldiers of the pro-guard battalion fought with Zu Lang for most of the day yesterday, and the casualties were limited, but the physical exertion was not small, especially the righteous foot rider, who followed him to chase Zu Lang all night, and now he urgently needs to rest. It is definitely risky to let Zu Lang recruit the old department, even if he is allowed to come into contact with those captured and wounded soldiers, there is no guarantee that he will be convinced, and it is indeed possible to recruit the old department and then rebel. But other than that, he didn't have a better way, and this way was relatively reasonable. Zu Lang is newly defeated and his morale is low, even if he has the intention to rebel again, he is sure to defeat Zu Lang again, and use this opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it is better than letting Zu Lang rest for a while, recover his strength and then escape.

What is the use of keeping him when he rebels?

This is a temptation and a delaying tactic. He wanted to take this opportunity to test Zu Lang's mind, and he also wanted to take this time to rest and recuperate, and find out the news related to Chen Wen and Chen Deng, so as to prepare for the next move.

——

Chen Deng climbed to the top of the city and looked at Niuzhu Mountain in the distance.

He had just received the news that Cheng Pu had rushed to the southern foot of Niuzhu Mountain and cut off the junction between Shicheng and Niuzhu Rock. Obviously, Sun Ce already knew about his arrival and was worried that he would take Yu Xin to break through, so he sent Cheng Pu to reinforce him. He is no stranger to Cheng Pu, during the Battle of Shucheng, Cheng Pu was a general under Sun Jian, responsible for attacking the East Gate. After the first battle of Shucheng, he became the Taishou of Lujiang, and there were more men and horses under him, some of whom were his former subordinates.

Thinking of Lujiang's incident, Chen Deng regretted it a little. At that time, he was too young and anxious to make meritorious contributions, and he did not think it through. Lu Kang had a good official reputation in Lujiang and was very popular with the people, and his expulsion of Lu Kang had a very bad impact on him. In addition, the attitude of the Zhou family, the strongest family in Lujiang, is unknown, and he has been in Lujiang for half a year, and he has not been able to get the support of the people of Lujiang.

Of course, he also overestimated Zhou Ang's ability, commanded more than 10,000 people, and failed to defeat Wu Jing for so long, and was finally killed by Wu Jing, which directly led to Shu County becoming an isolated city. Without help, he had no other way but to abandon the city and leave.

Fortunately, God treated him well, and gave him another chance÷ Wen Zang was dying, and handed over the Assassin of Yangzhou to him, Zhou Xin was trapped in Niuzhuji, waiting for him to rescue. As long as he can rescue Zhou Xin and prove his ability, he can gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou and compete with Sun Ce again. Danyang soldiers are the elite of the world, and Yangzhou has a large area of dense mountains and forests for maneuvering, and with such resources, as long as they are properly planned, it is enough to trap Sun Ce in Yangzhou and cannot get out.

The prospect is beautiful, but the difficulties ahead are not small. How can I defeat Sun Ce, rescue Zhou Xin, and prove my ability? Chen Deng was puzzled, and couldn't find a way to break the situation for a while.

Hurried footsteps sounded, Li Yan appeared in the city, followed by a middle-aged Confucian scholar ÷ Deng, hurriedly pulled his sleeves, straightened the crown on his head, and bowed his hand.

"Xiapi Chen Deng, the character Yuanlong, dare to ask the name of the high surname."

The Confucian nodded in satisfaction and returned the salute. "Huiji Wei Teng, the word Zhou Lin, I have seen Chen Jun."

Chen Deng was taken aback. "My feet are the same clan as the late Wei Jun Shaoying?"

"No, it's Wei Shaoying's son."

Chen Deng stroked his forehead and smiled. "Fortunately, the heroic spirit of the party is not far away, and with the help of Wei Shaoying's son, great things can be accomplished."
