Lu Zhu was grateful and thanked him repeatedly.

Sun Ce immediately found Guo Jia and others to discuss the matter of rushing to aid Qu County. Rescue soldiers like fighting fire, he will lead his personal guards to ride first, and Guo Jia will lead Lu Su, Dong Xi, Quan Rou and others to rush there.

Wu Jing categorically objected, and his voice was fierce. "If it's as you think, Liu He has already succeeded at this moment, and his morale is booming. You hurry up, not to mention whether your physical strength can support it, with one enemy and three, how can you win? Liu is a clan, the fifth generation lives in the East China Sea, is a surname in Xuzhou, there are many supporters, his father is an official residence Taiwei, known as the people's hearts, who do you know in Xuzhou? There are no friends who can help you, there are a few enemies who want to kill you, and once the war does not go well, the Chen family can kill you. ”

Sun Ce's heart was filled with warmth. Although Wu Jing relied on the old and sold the old and suppressed the younger generations, his concern for him was real. When all the generals were hindered by the elk brothers' face and it was difficult to speak, he was the only one who could not give elk zhu face.

He didn't know the dangers of this battle. If he could have fought, he would have fought a long time ago, so why wait until now.

One thousand against three thousand, even if their subordinates are well equipped and trained, this battle is a defeat for both sides, and they can only rely on the spoils of war to replenish the losses. But unless a landslide victory is achieved, the amount of loot is limited, and the gains outweigh the losses. The cavalry was too precious to him to risk for the sake of the Elk. Lu Zhu is just a businessman, Lu Fang's ability is average, not outstanding, and Lu Lan is just a woman, so it is not worth him to pay such a big price.

At least in Wu Jing's opinion.

Sun Ce patiently explained: "Uncle, don't worry, I won't rush to fight Liu He." If there is no chance of victory, I will keep my distance from them, pin them down, and wait for the foot soldiers to arrive and fight again. It is precisely because Liu is a surname in Xuzhou that I can't let Liu He control Xuzhou smoothly, otherwise Tao Mu will be defeated, and Yuzhou will be attacked on both sides, and sooner or later it will be lost. ”

Wu Jing stared at Sun Ce for a long time. "Are you telling the truth?"

Sun Ce smiled bitterly: "How dare I lie to my uncle? These cavalry are all household goods that I have painstakingly accumulated, and I am reluctant to waste them. ”

Wu nodded. He believed that. Although Sun Ce is young, he is more stable than Sun Jian. He was so anxious, he had a painful lesson, when Sun Jian participated in the fight against Dong, the people of Zaiyang were defeated by Xu Rong, fled all the way to Xihua, the soldiers were scattered, Sun Jian himself was seriously injured, lying in the grass, they were all scared, they felt that the sky was about to fall, until Sun Jian's war horse led them to find Sun Jian before they calmed down. The current pillar of the Sun family is no longer Sun Jian, but Sun Ce, if Sun Ce has an accident, the consequences will be more serious than Sun Jian's death.

Wu Jing walked up to Sun Ce, pressed his hands on Sun Ce's shoulders, stared at Sun Ce's eyes, and said word by word: "You must focus on the overall situation, and don't take risks." ”

Sun Ce nodded solemnly. "Definitely."

Lu Zhu and Lu Fang exchanged a look, secretly rejoicing. They also knew the danger of this battle, and if Sun Ce refused to go, they had nothing to do. With Sun Ce's current strength, the Elk family doesn't have much capital to negotiate.

——

Huaiyin.

Liu He reined in his mount, carried the bloody spear, and calmed his breath. Although his throat was very painful and his legs were a little sore because he had been clamping the horse's belly for too long, he was in a very good mood.

"Blow the trumpet, stop attacking." Liu He gave the order.

The cavalry was still in pursuit, and three thousand wolf-like cavalry galloped back and forth, cutting down the fleeing people to the ground. Wen Chou took people to chase after him. As soon as the cavalry appeared, Zhenrong knew that the situation was not good, so he threw down the believers who worshiped the Buddha and ran away with his cronies Danyang soldiers. This is not a battle at all, but a massacre, and if it is not stopped in time, these Hu people will kill these people cleanly.

That's not the result Liu He wants to see.

Although this battle was delayed for some time, the results were rich and gave him more ideas. He could use the spoils to recruit men and horses, and he could also select the strong ones from these people as warriors, and the rest as servants, and then he could enter the East China Sea. The East China Sea is his hometown, since his ancestor Liu Jia, the king of the East China Sea, was sealed in the East China Sea, their family has lived in the East China Sea for more than a hundred years, the clan has multiplied, generations of eunuchs, not only accumulated a good reputation, but also deep connections. When he returns to Tan County, he will shout from the heights, and there will be many people who support him.

This is also the reason why he wants to move to Xuzhou, and it is also the reason why he rectifies military discipline. If you condone the killing of these Hu people, the good reputation accumulated by the ancestors will be completely ruined.

The herald raised his horn and whined. The sound of a deep horn could be heard far away, and the knights gradually woke up from the killing and stopped attacking one after another. Although some people refused to give up, the battlefield slowly calmed down. Liu He ordered the prisoners and booty to be assembled, and the Hu cavalry was forbidden to kill innocents, otherwise the distribution of the booty would be canceled, and the circumstances would be seriously beheaded.

Chen Yu, who had been out of the battlefield, rushed over, smiling. "Gongheng is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he uses soldiers like gods, which is gratifying."

Liu He smiled. "Chen Gong praised falsely, and he didn't dare to be ashamed. It's just some people, not a war. These people are really pitiful, they were actually deceived by Zhenrong, and even abandoned their families and children to learn some Dharma. ”

"A bunch of fools, they know what the Dharma is, but they just eat with their mouths." Chen Yu pursed his lips disdainfully, then realized something, looked at Liu He, and laughed. "Gongheng, won't you pity them?"

Liu He sighed. "The world is unstable, the people are displaced, and believing in Buddhism is just asking for peace. Although I am not a Buddha, I want to do my part, and I can save as many as I can. It's just that my knowledge is shallow, and I don't know where to start for a while. Can Chen Gong teach me? ”

Chen Yu understood. Liu He has strength, and he is not satisfied with attacking Tao Qian, and responds to Yuan Xi. He is a native of the East China Sea, and it is impossible for him to be the assassin of Xuzhou or the pastor of Xuzhou, but he can be the prime minister of the four counties other than Donghai County, such as the Xiapi Kingdom, and he can also attack Yuzhou in the future. However, he can't do these things directly, he needs someone to lead the needle from them, and he can speak in front of Yuan Shao, otherwise Yuan Shao will suspect him.

The Chen family in Xiapi is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, so Liu He will ask him for advice, in fact, to seek the support of the Chen family.

"What Gong Heng said is very true. Xuzhou was originally a happy land, with a solid household registration, but Tao Mu was unreasonable and unscrupulous, which made the people's grievances boiling. Gongheng adheres to the family style, and is good at using soldiers, if you are responsible for the military and political affairs of Xuzhou, Xuzhou Shishu will inevitably be like nectar, and peace can be expected. Although I don't have much ability, I am willing to run for Gongheng and contact everyone. ”

Liu He smiled with satisfaction. "Then please Chen Gong. If he can get his wish, he should recommend Chen Gong to the court to come to the county, which can be regarded as benefiting the people of the county. ”

Chen Yu laughed. Donghai is the largest county in Xuzhou, with a solid household registration and not far from Xiapi. Liu He gave such good conditions, of course he had to be more careful.
