Chapter 094 - Counting is Counting
Sun Ce has always lacked respect for Yuan Shu, but he is still more cautious on the surface, either honorifically calling the general or calling Yuan Highway, and rarely calls him by his name. Today was a special accident, and I was in a hurry, so I blurted out, but I didn't expect to be caught.
Sun Ce glanced at the man, and saw that he was in a brocade suit with a sword at his waist, but his forehead was full of sweat, and his feet were fluttering, obviously he was galloping long distances to the end, and the stern reprimand could not hide his physical and psychological weakness, presumably this battle was lost miserably, and his heart was even more uneasy.
If Cao Cao had defeated Yuan Shu in Xinye, the battle should have happened last night, and the envoy Ding Fei appeared in my camp in the early morning, and he should have just hit the road when Cao Cao launched the attack. In this way, Cao Cao asked me to meet not to stabilize me, but to be confident that after defeating Yuan Shu, there would still be time to rush to the meeting place. More importantly, the position of Cao Cao's army at that time was farther than he expected, and it should not be far from Xinye. He was waiting for Yuan Shu, and he didn't really catch up.
This traitor, lie to me.
Sun Ce was depressed, unhappy, and his attitude was even worse. He glanced at the scribe. "Where did the messenger come from? Running 200 miles in half a day, tired and confused, right? Which ear do you hear that I want General Hou to be in a different place like Xiahou Yuan? ”
"Do you dare to say that you don't dare to admit it?" The messenger sank his face and became more stern. "Sun Wentai, is this how you commanded it, blatantly disrespectful to General Hou?"
Sun Jian clutched his chest, didn't say a word, his body shook twice, and suddenly fell backwards, and the sound of "bang" startled the scribe and Sun Ce. Sun Ce rushed over and was about to speak, when Zhou Yu gave him a look. Before Sun Ce could understand, his arm was grabbed by Sun Jian.
"Don't talk, cry!" Sun Jian leaned into Sun Ce's ear and said, "Give me the hip!" ”
Sun Ce suddenly realized, and immediately hugged Sun Jian and howled. "General, general, wake up, wake up, wake up......" While crying, he took out the hip on his waist and handed it to Sun Jian under the cover of his body. Sun Jian took the knife and stabbed it in his heart, and suddenly blood poured into it, which frightened Sun Ce so much that he almost forgot to cry.
I'll go! Daddy is ruthless.
"General, general......" Han Dang also grabbed it, and when he saw this posture, he also cried loudly. As soon as he cried, Zu Mao outside was also frightened, and then broke in and surrounded Sun Jian in the middle. He was worried about Sun Jian's injury, and his steps were fierce, although he only rubbed his shoulder, but he almost knocked the scribe away, hit his head on the tent, stood unsteadily, and slipped to the ground.
Zhou Yu caught up and helped the scribe up. "Sir, it's really unfortunate that you came, General Sun has just been assassinated."
"Encounter...... Assassination? The scribe's face turned white at once. How...... How so? ”
Zhou Yu turned around to get the arrow. Sun Ce had already prepared, and had already stained the arrow red with Sun Jian's blood, and quietly handed it to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu took it in his hand, couldn't help laughing, and said seriously: "The general attacked Xiangyang, he couldn't attack it for a long time, he was depressed, and he went out of the camp to relax, but he met an assassin arranged by Xiangyang Haoqiang, who was hit by a poisoned arrow, and was in danger. You see, it's this arrow, and it's poison in the groove. Once you have blood, you can't live. ”
Zhou Yu said as he dangled the arrow in front of the scribe. Hearing that it was a poisonous arrow, the scribe was so frightened that he was weak, for fear that Zhou Yu would accidentally stab him with an arrow, where would he still have the heart to distinguish the true from the fake.
"The boy Zhou Yu, the Lujiang family, the father's official residence in Luoyang. What do you call a gentleman? Where are the people? ”
"Are you Zhou Boqi's son? I am Feng Fang, a native of Runan, and I have been a lieutenant of Sili, and I am very familiar with Ling Zun. Feng Fang grabbed Zhou Yu's arm, like grasping a life-saving straw, and said urgently: "Zhou Lang, General Hou was frustrated and sent me to send an order to General Sun, so that he could come back to help, and now General Sun has been assassinated again, and he is in danger, how can this be good?" ”
"Feng Jun is not in a hurry, General Hou is frustrated, where do you start?"
Feng Fang's eyes rolled twice, and he got up and pulled Zhou Yu to a secluded place outside the tent. "Alas, if it were someone else, I wouldn't say a word, and you are the son of an old man, so I won't hide it from you. Cao Cao entered the country and wrote a letter to General Hou, but he didn't know what he said, and General Hou was angry all of a sudden, and he chased after him in a hurry, and walked more than 100 miles in two days, and the people were sleepy and lacking in guard, and the result was ...... It was attacked. ”
"Where is General Hou now?"
"General Hou was trapped in Xinye City, and the large camp outside the city was completely destroyed, and there were less than a thousand people left around General Hou. As soon as Yan Xiang saw the chaos outside the city, he asked General Hou to send me out of the city, if I was one step slower, I wouldn't even be able to get out. ”
Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, showed a look of embarrassment, and was silent. When Feng Fang saw it, he was even more anxious, and shook Zhou Yu again and again.
"Zhou Lang, hurry up and think of a way. Cao Cao must be besieging the city at this moment, and it has dragged on for a long time, and the life of the general is in danger. ”
"Feng Jun, you have also seen it, the general was assassinated, his life and death are unknown, and there is no one in charge of the army, let alone save the general, it is difficult to say whether he can stabilize the situation or not. The generals under the command of the general have complex origins, including the men and horses he brought from Changsha, the newly surrendered men and horses from Jingzhou, and a part of the Yellow Turban Army. ”
Feng Fang was dumbfounded, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
Seeing that the situation was almost over, Zhou Yu said hesitantly: "It's not that there is no way, it's just ......"
Feng Fang suddenly saw the vitality and immediately said, "You say it quickly, you say it quickly." ”
"Captain Sun is the eldest son of the general, although he is young, he is all-round in civil and military affairs. Not long ago, he had just defeated Cao Cao's striker Xiahou Yuanbu and made a great achievement. During the general's wounds, if he were to lead the troops, there should be no problem. The only problem is that without the order of the general, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”
Feng Fang stared at Zhou Yu for a long time, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "Zhou Lang, look...... I will make a decision on behalf of the queen general and let Sun Ce act on my father's behalf, okay? ”
Zhou Yu nodded again and again. "Feng Junde is highly respected, and he is the confidant of the rear general, of course he can."
Feng Fang sighed faintly. "Lujiang Zhou's family is worthy of its name, Zhou Boqi gave birth to a good son."
Zhou Yu said a few words modestly and pulled Sun Ce over. Feng Fang made a decision on behalf of Yuan Shu, and during Sun Jian's injury, Sun Ce would perform all of Sun Jian's duties, command Sun Jian's men, and immediately send troops to relieve the siege of Xinye.
"Whoa!" Sun Ce bowed down to receive the order, and immediately summoned the generals and announced the order.
Except for Zhou Yu, Han Dang and other people who knew the real situation, the others were frightened and messed up when they heard that Sun Jian had been assassinated. Feng Fang took out the majesty of the envoy, and his voice was full of power, which stabilized the situation.
Sun Ce immediately ordered the whole army to withdraw from Xiangyang and rush to Xinye.
When the army was pulling out the camp, Sun Ce sent someone to call Xi Zhu. In front of Xi Zhu, Sun Ce lifted more than 300 members of the Kuai family out of the baggage camp and beheaded all the adult men. At the sound of an order, people's heads rolled, and blood stained the river red.
Some of the old and weak women who accompanied the beheading were frightened, crying bitterly, some beating their chests and scolding, Sun Ce's heart was tumbling like a tide, but his face had to be cold, condescendingly looking down at Xi Zhu, who was pale and trembling.
"Xi Wenhui, I bother you to tell Kuai Yue that he sent someone to assassinate his father, and I am inseparable from him, either he dies or I die."
