The north wind howled, blowing off the yellow leaves on the trees, and the dead leaves rubbed against the ground under the strong wind, making a "crackling" sound, like a majestic rain.

While the north wind carried away the fallen leaves, it also brought cold air currents from the interior, and the entire Central Plains was clothed in winter.

In the gale, the banner of the word "Sun" is fluttering, and the number of men and horses under it has reached 50,000, and although the peripheral 30,000 are scattered, there are also unified military uniforms and standard weapons, but the 20,000 troops in the middle, there are no unified uniforms, and the clothes are varied, most of them are rags and linen clothes, and there is no iron soldier.

They marched in the middle surrounded by an army of 30,000 men, like prisoners under guard.

In fact, it is precisely the case that these 20,000 horses are from the four counties of Yexian, Lixian, Luyang, and Kunyang, and were forcibly conscripted by Sun Jian to unite against Cao.

Sun Jian, who was riding a horse in the Chinese army, looked at Sun Jing, who was in charge of scout intelligence

"Third brother, how far is it from Yanzhou, and there are still enough grains and grass for a few days?"

"Now we are in Xu County, Yingchuan, and we will reach the boundary of Chenliu Land dozens of miles north, and Chenliu belongs to Yanzhou."

Sun Jing didn't blink this time and was silent for a while

"The grain and grass collected from the four counties are only enough for three days, and many people lack winter clothes"

"No winter coats"

Sun Jian muttered, looked at the 20,000 strong men of the Chinese army, remembered that he was about to reach the Yuanshu boundary in Yanzhou, and gave the order again

"Levy from the people"

"No"

Similarly, Sun Ben, Cheng Pu and other four people each led a part and killed the four fields of Xu County.

At first, their goal was only to target the soft persimmons of the Pingtou people, but when Sun Ben found that the Pingtou people were quickly swept away, and he was only holding more than a hundred men, and he was far from reaching the goal, and found Wu Jing, who also gained very little.

Two armies of 6,000 men were gathered together.

Sun Ben looked at Wu Jing and called out respectfully, "Uncle, you see that we have nothing to gain this time, how can we go back and make a difference."

Not as good as"

At this time, only the two of them could hear Sun Ben's words, Wu Jing's eyes were a little hesitant, and Sun Ben hurriedly continued to incite

"Uncle, their clan and Cao Xing are married, and besides, let's just go to test it, their family's Wu Fort, we may not be able to fight, everything will be fine, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't work."

At this time, Wu Jing no longer hesitated, and put forward a suggestion: "It's better for us to unite more people"

Sun Ben nodded, "Call Han Dang again, as for Cheng Pu, forget it first"

Wu Jing glanced at him deeply, with a look of understanding on his face, Cheng Pu is the first general under Sun Jian, and when he comes, Sun Ben's position as the main general will not be kept.

When the time comes, the credit is Cheng Pu's, defeated, as the mastermind, he has to bear the main responsibility, this Sun Ben is very clear.

Sun Ben's parents died early, Sun Jian raised him, and he was his own nephew, and his relationship with Sun Jian was actually no different from that of father and son, plus his first-class martial arts, combat bravery, and the second generation of the Sun family's second generation of children was only an adult, so he had a very high status in Sun Jian's army.

In history, he inherited the Sun family's army after Sun Jian's death.

Now, under his vigorous running, he soon joined forces with Wu Jing and Han Dang, plus the strong men who were wrapped, and 10,000 horses surrounded Wu Fort, which was the most famous in Xu County.

Wu Fort is tall and strong, typical of the large Wu Fort in the Central Plains, and more importantly, the city bricks are all new, you can imagine how rich the family with this newly built Wu Fort will be.

On the city wall of Wubao, the crowd is surging, the sound of gongs and drums is endless, and more and more families climb the city wall.

The identity of the other party is there, and now he is famous for his master, so Sun Ben personally rode his horse to Wubao, looked at the three words "Chenjiabao" engraved above the walled gate, and smiled contemptuously

"The head of the Chen family, Chen Zheng and Chen Yang in your clan colluded with the traitor Cao Xing, please hand over his wife and children, and I will personally punish this person who aids in abuse."

This newly-built Wu Fort is not owned by others, it is owned by Cao Xing's second mastermind, Chen Yang's family, and this fort is also built by Chen Yang and his father Chen Zheng, who saved all the money and rewards they received from Cao Xing and built it for the family.

The Chen family has often not served as the head of Taiqiu since Chen Yu served as the head of Taiqiu, so the family's property is limited, and this Wu Fort does not need a penny from the rest of the family, but it is ten times taller than the Wu Fort built in history to protect the family.

Chen Zheng and Chen Yang are even the sons and grandsons of the concubines, this contribution is enough to impress the clansmen and enjoy the respect that is not inferior to the descendants.

Now that Sun Ben is leading the army to surround Chen Jiabao and ask for Chen Zheng and Chen Yang's wives and children, Chen Ji, who has just succeeded the head of the family, is naturally unwilling.

What's more, Chen Zheng had just returned home from Mu Xiu, and he was standing next to him, not only that, but the real power figures of the Chen family were standing here.

"Brother, let me talk to him"

Chen Ji looked at Chen Zheng and nodded.

"I don't know which general of the rebel army is under the village, although some people in my clan disagree with your politics, but it will not hurt your family."

"Hmph, who are you, dare to take care of the affairs of this general, hurry up and hand over Chen Zheng and Chen Yang's wives and children, and bring 100,000 stones of grain and grass and one million pieces of money, I can spare you

And you will marry me another daughter-in-law."

Sun Ben opened his mouth when the lion opened his mouth, and he was not afraid to flash his tongue.

The brothers and nephews of the Chen family who were present turned pale when they heard this, Chen Zhenggang wanted to fight back, and a young scholar behind Chen Ji had already stepped forward, "Hehe, General is so imposing"

"Who are you?"

"I am Chen Qun"

"I'm the Chen Zheng you're looking for"

The young scholar and Chen Zheng reported their names at the same time.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zheng was in the castle, and he grabbed Chen Zheng to blackmail Chen Yang and even Cao Xing, maybe he could achieve the goal in his heart.

Looking at the other party's attitude, he couldn't say why he came by mouth, Sun Ben looked at Wu Jing and Han Dang, "Let the new pawn go up and try"

Wu Jing was still a little entangled in his eyes, "I really want to fight the other party, but the family of the four elders of Yingchuan has a great reputation, and when I ascended to the heights, I called out to unite with the good scholars to deal with us."

"Uncle, the judgment is constantly against its chaotic people, beating the drum"

"Knock Knock"

The war drums of Sun's attack sounded, and a thousand strong men who were wrapped up took the hoes and sickles that had just been distributed, held flat poles, carried ladders, and then temporarily selected some military attachés under the escort of the "veterans" and began to attack the city.

"What a famous general, the lord also said that you are a hero, and your subordinates are all cold-hearted people, and I am not much better"

Chen Zheng was sarcastic in his heart.
