In Niuzhu County, in Xue Li's tent, Xue Li put the bamboo slips in his hand in the hands of the soldiers on the side, and Yu Mi took the bamboo slips to read.

Xue Li said with a heavy expression: "The military order just issued by the lord requires us to defeat Sun Ce within a month, and if not, remove our official positions. ”

"This ...... How is this possible! Yu Mi's expression turned slightly pale, "Sun Ce's fierce generals are like clouds, then Sun Ce is even more brave, it is not easy for our army to defend the city for several months, and it is necessary to defeat Sun Ce within a month......"

Xue Li said solemnly: "But now that the military order has arrived, that is, we don't want to fight, and we must bite the bullet and send people to explore Sun Ce's grain and grass. ”

Yu Mi pondered for a while, and then said: "Pass my order, send your subordinate Governor Tai Shici to carry a fine cavalry to Sun Ce's camp to survey the enemy's grain route!" ”

In Sun Ce's camp, Zhou Yu took the book in his hand, looked at Sun Ce and said, "Xue Li invited us to have a banquet in Niuzhuji to enjoy the beauty of the mountains and rivers, saying that there is good wine and good meat to treat each other." ”

Sun Ce ignored it, and said with a smile: "Such an obvious Hongmen banquet, is this Xue Li deceiving my three-year-old child?" ”

"Bo Fu doesn't know, if it was in the past, this is indeed a simple Hongmen banquet." Zhou Yu took the mat to Sun Ce, and the two sat opposite each other, "Sometimes the decisive battle on the battlefield is not only about fighting soldiers and horses, but also fighting for talents. After this battle, the outcome of the battle can also be decided. ”

"What Gong Jin means, is this asking me to go to the banquet?"

"Niu Zhuji is a beautiful scenery, Xue Li treats each other with wine and meat, isn't it a pity that Bo Fu doesn't go?"

"How many soldiers should I bring?"

"Two thousand is enough, but we have to call the two generals Ganning and Jiang Qin together."

Sun Ce nodded and asked, "Gongjin, aren't you going?" ”

Zhou Yu stood up and picked up the bamboo slips on the table from the side, "I still have one more thing to do at the moment, Niu Zhuji is not an ambush place, and there is no ambush for the sword and axe hand, but please be careful." ”

On the main road from Niuzhu, Lu Meng took out a spear from the body of the thief leader, shook the blood beads on the tip of the spear, and looked at the water thief squatting on the ground on the side, "Escorting grain and grass to this is the third attack, there are really many thieves in Jiangdong, hey, someone will pull this guy down and bury him." ”

Jiang Wen looked at these bandits with hungry faces and shouted: "Our army is the soldiers and horses of Sun Ce, the son of Sikong, the general of Hu Benzhonglang, and it is also a well-known teacher of benevolence and righteousness in the world today!" Although you are a bandit, I also know that if you have to do it, who wants to be a bandit! ”

"Your Majesty still needs the people to save the world, and today's Sikong also needs you and other soldiers to make contributions! Are you willing to serve Your Majesty, for Sikong, and for the world?! ”

Lu Meng watched Zhou Taiqing count the weapons and recovered another five hundred soldiers and horses. Lu Meng sighed and said, "Changsu, you don't know if you set off to find Yuan Shao." ”

"What are you looking for Yuan Shao to do?"

"Rebellion, with your mouth, go to Jizhou, maybe you will lead tens of thousands of troops back."

Jiang Wenshu smiled and sat on the horse, "Tell the army to move quickly, and we will arrive at Niuzhu tomorrow." ”

Niu Zhu, Sun Ce's camp, Li Yi saluted Jiang Wenzuo, "The villain is here to welcome the army, General Lu Meng, General Zhou Tai back to the camp." ”

"Where's the general?" Jiang Wen and the other two got off their horses and asked.

Li Yi said respectfully: "Zhonglang will bring two thousand soldiers and horses to Niuzhuji with the other two generals this morning to go to the banquet, and the general of the military division will also leave on a fast horse, as for where to go, I don't know, but the general of the military division has a trust, if you come back from joining the army, please guard the grain and grass with heavy troops." ”

"Bo Fu went to the banquet? Did the military advisor ever agree? ”

"The military advisor agreed."

Jiang Wen nodded, "You go down and call someone to carry the grain and grass." ”

Jiang Wen showed a wry smile, this group of people's hearts is really big, if he is delayed for a day for some reason, isn't there no generals in this military camp?

Jiang Wen shouted to the heralds: "The herald will go down to the whole battalion to strengthen the survey, and the people who patrol will be rotated once every three hours, but it will be changed to four hours!" In addition, send sentinels to watch the nearby key roads, even if the road is dangerous, send two people to investigate, and send heavy troops to guard the waterway! ”

"Yes!"

In Jiang Wen's tent, hot water was boiling in two wooden barrels, and Lu Meng and Jiang Wen's whole bodies were very comfortable soaking in it.

Lu Meng closed his eyes and said: "The tired feeling of these days is gone, and Bo Fu really eats a banquet and doesn't wait for us to come back." ”

Lu Meng looked at Jiang who was distracted on the side and asked, and whistled, "What's the matter, do you miss your Tao'er?" ”

Jiang Wen said distractedly: "Yes and no, but I feel a little melancholy in my heart." ”

Lu Meng said with a smile: "It's good to get used to it, some people can't even go back once they enter the battlefield." ”

At night, the lights are dark, and a group of figures in the water are swimming in the water, and many rafts floating on the water are approaching. "Shoot the arrows!" The sudden shouting sound alarmed all the soldiers, the sky rained arrows, many people in the raft fell into the water with arrows, Zhang Ying hurriedly dived into the water, dodging the falling bow and arrows.

Torches appeared on the shore, illuminating the place, "Kill! Lu Meng held a spear, and a group of soldiers stood on the shore, and the Changge in his hand continued to stab fiercely without leaving any room, letting out a mournful scream in the current, and pieces of blood mist bloomed.

"Withdraw!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Ying immediately opened his mouth and shouted.

Jiang Wen was in the camp, and Lu Meng threw away his helmet casually, "Changsu is really as you expected, this group of guys will choose to sneak attack the camp tent at night, and they will kill a hundred people on this trip." ”

"Now there is a shortage of generals in the camp, if they are still alive, they don't want to go back alive." Jiang Wen took the candle flame to illuminate the map in front of him, and said expressionlessly, "Bo Fu They are going to the banquet in Niuzhu Rock, I am afraid that they will be able to return to the camp tomorrow, Zi Ming, tomorrow will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain to meet Bo Fu and them." ”

"Ten thousand soldiers?" Lu Meng was slightly stunned and said, "So many people were taken away by me, how can you guard the camp?" ”

"It's okay, there are still 8,000 soldiers left in the camp," Jiang Wen said with a light smile, "Although grain and grass are our lifeblood, Bo Fu is the key, and we must not lose it." ”

Moling, five days later, Zhou Yu passed the search of the officers and soldiers at the city gate and entered the Moling City, found a random inn in the city, took out coins and asked the nearby officials where they lived.

"Guest officer, the mansion in front of that street is the address of Lord Zhenrong, if the guest officer wants to be an official, you can ask this person for recommendation!"

Zhou Yu put a hundred baht coins, and when he saw the coin boss, his heart jumped first, "It's too much, son...... Thank you, Childe! Thank you, Childe! ”

Zhou Yu looked at Zhenrong's mansion, saluted to the doorman and said, "Please spread the word that Zhou Yu, the son of Luoyang Ling, wants to see Lord Zhenrong!" ”
