Sun Ce didn't sleep all night, digesting the results of the battle at a lightning speed. He is fighting alone, deep behind enemy lines, Yuan Tan's reinforcements will arrive at any time, stabilize Liu Bei as soon as possible, and he can free up his hands to deal with Yuan Tan.

After dealing with various affairs, Sun Ce seized the time to take a break, and when he was woken up by Guo Jia, the light rain had stopped, the weather had been opened, the sun was shining, and people couldn't open their eyes. Sun Ce raised his hand to block his eyes, turned over and sat up.

"Yuan Tan is here?"

"Nope." Guo Jia smiled and shook his head.

"What time is it?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon."

Sun Ce was stunned for a while, a little unintelligible. At three o'clock in the afternoon, it stands to reason that Yuan Tan should have received the news, and even if he is cautious, he should send reinforcements. "Bonghyo, what's going on?"

"It's not very clear at the moment." Guo Jia glanced at Liu Bei on the side. "Maybe Liu Junhou knows better, why don't the general ask him."

Sun Ce followed Guo Jia's gaze and saw Liu Bei standing not far away with his knife, looking dedicated. Except for the fact that his face was a little haggard, there was no trace of frustration that he had just been defeated. Zhang Fei stood aside with a spear in his hand, glancing at it from time to time, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak. Seeing that Sun Ce woke up, he rushed to Liu Bei's side and whispered a few words. Liu Bei looked back, walked over quickly, and bowed his hand.

Sun Ce bowed his head. "Good work. Didn't take a break? ”

"I slept in the middle of the night last night, and I wasn't tired."

Sun Ce nodded. "How often do you contact Yuan Tan? When was the last time you were in contact. ”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "He has always contacted me, and the time is uncertain." There is a little more to do, and there is a little less to do. The most recent was yesterday evening. ”

Sun Ce got up and stretched. Yi brought water, he washed his face, ate something, and asked Guo Jia to send someone to invite King Chen. When he spoke, Liu Bei stood quietly aside, and Zhang Fei glanced at him several times, but he just ignored it. Sun Ce couldn't stand it anymore.

"Zhang Yide, what do you want to say?"

"I ...... I want to ask for two horses. Zhang Fei's face was swollen and red, both angry and embarrassed. We don't have mounts, so let's go to Junyi? ”

Sun Ce looked at Guo Jia. Guo Jia said with a smile: "General, there are rules in the army, only the lieutenant is equipped with a mount, and the military marquis does not, and it is not particularly aimed at Liu Junhou." ”

Sun Ce knew it. According to custom, all officers below the rank of lieutenant are junior officers, and the treatment is not much better than that of ordinary non-commissioned officers. There are no mounts, the march is all on two legs, there are no personal guards, and they rely on themselves when fighting in battle, and the death rate is very high. He asked Liu Bei to be a military marquis just to see how good Liu Bei's luck could be and how long he could hold out on the battlefield. If he dies, it's his life. If you can't hold on and become a deserter, you will kill him. Killing prisoners is ominous, but killing deserters is justified.

"Xuande, look ......"

"The general doesn't have to mind, just follow the rules of the army." Liu Bei said very calmly.

"Thank you Xuande for your understanding. I hope that Xuande can make meritorious service as soon as possible, and when the time comes, he will be promoted, and he will naturally have a horse. ”

"Whoa." Liu Bei bowed down to receive the order, saw King Chen coming, and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Sun Ce again. "After I heard that you are the King of Zhongshan Jing, can there be such a thing?"

When King Chen heard this, he was also very surprised, and looked at Liu Bei with blazing eyes. Liu Bei was caught off guard for a moment and didn't know how to answer. His face was slightly red, and he was stunned for a moment before he bowed down and replied: "The ancestor did say so, but the branches are estranged, and there is no pedigree in the family, so I can't tell clearly." ”

King Chen suddenly lost interest and looked away. Sun Ce sighed and motioned for Liu Bei to retreat. Liu Bei turned to leave, his face was hot. He has always regarded himself as a clan, but now in front of King Chen, he does not dare to admit it. He couldn't produce any evidence to prove his identity, and reluctantly said that he could only be regarded as a liar who pretended to be a clan, and brought humiliation on himself.

This shaft is a vicious method. Liu Bei was full of resentment, but he didn't dare to show the slightest trace on his face. He had a feeling that Sun Ce's desire to kill him was very strong, but he was unwilling to leave his notoriety and wanted to find a more suitable opportunity.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, wait for Yun Chang's injury to heal, and leave at the first opportunity.

Sun Ce asked about King Chen's situation. King Chen rested for a few hours, and when he woke up, the camp had completely changed. After listening to his subordinates talk about what Sun Ce did during this period, he sighed with emotion. Sun Ce's actions were so swift that he simply didn't leave the opponent a chance, and the seemingly risky task was not only completed, but also completed extremely perfectly, with ease and ease at hand.

"The generals are like gods, worthy of being after Sun Wu."

Sun Ce shook his hand and said with a smile: "Don't say that, the king, it's not time to celebrate yet." When Yuan Tan is repelled and the Black Mountain Army is rescued, the king will praise me a few more words, and I will definitely accept all the orders. ”

King Chen stroked his beard and smiled. "It's a deal."

"How many arrows are there, my lord?"

"Yesterday the battle went well, the consumption was not much, and there are still sixty or seventy arrows per person."

"That's not much." Sun Ce smacked his lips. "Can't you use the captured arrows?"

"There's not much you can use."

Sun Ce smiled bitterly. Chen Wang's requirements are a bit high. The equipment of the Dongjun soldiers led by Liu Bei is indeed not excellent, but the arrows used are still up to standard, but King Chen is used to refining good arrows and can't look down on those. Crossbowmen are very powerful, but the shortcomings are also obvious - the arrows are consumed too quickly. He was a light army, and he carried a limited number of arrows, only two bags of arrows and a hundred arrows per person. A sneak attack is just that, if the two armies are facing each other, this is only a matter of a few rounds.

Without further ado, return to the teacher immediately. If you can avoid meeting with Yuan Tan, try to avoid it, and when you return to the camp and replenish the arrows, it is not too late to compete with Yuan Tan.

Just as Sun Ce and King Chen were discussing retreat, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance. Sun Ce looked up and saw a knight running wildly on the official road, and couldn't help frowning. No, he didn't care too much, even if Yuan Tan arrived at this time, he had nothing to worry about. The prisoners have been dealt with, the soldiers have rested, and their physical strength has basically recovered. Yuan Tan came in a hurry, and if he really wanted to go to war, it was Yuan Tan who suffered.

"My lord, I'll bother you again later."

Chen Wang was also very relaxed, stroking his beard and laughing loudly.

The knight rushed to the front, rolled over and dismounted. Guo Jia greeted him, the knight muttered a few words in his ear, Guo Jia raised his eyebrows slightly, waved his hand, and motioned for the knight to rest. He walked quickly to Sun Ce's side. "General, there are 10,000 people coming from the direction of Fengqiu, twenty miles away from our army, and the general of the army is surnamed Jiang. It should have been ordered by Yuan Shao to reinforce it, and it happened to be encountered by us. ”

Sun Ce chuckled in his heart, and a cold breath appeared in the back of his head. How could there be a sudden appearance of people in the direction of Fengqiu, and it was 10,000 people? Liyang is the gateway to Hebei, and the people who can guard Liyang are by no means ordinary generals, this surnamed Jiang is likely to be a hard stubble, and his strength is still above Zhu Ling.

No wonder Yuan Tan didn't move, it turned out that he had arranged a bigger surprise.
