After half a month, Yuan Shu came to Wancheng again, but the situation was very different, what a tragic word.

Being defeated by Cao Cao outside Xinye City made Nanyang Haoqiang's confidence in him completely collapse. In the past, they just ignored Yuan Shu and refused to pay for it, but now they simply don't let Yuan Shu enter the city. Not only that, but they also gathered their troops to help Cao Cao defend the city and fight Yuan Shu to the end.

This is what it means to tear your face and break it completely. It was like a loud slap in the face that slapped Yuan Shu hard.

This made Yuan Shu furious, eager to kill directly into the city, cut off the heads of those people, and hang them one by one at the head of the city to show the public. But he himself knows that with more than 10,000 people, let alone attacking the city, whether he can set up a position is a question. As soon as the drums of war sounded, no one dared to guarantee who the sword in their hand would be aimed at. Yuan Shu didn't even dare to force Wancheng down, and only dared to camp in the south of Wancheng, more than 20 miles south of Wancheng, across the Meixi River from Wancheng.

The only hope that would sustain Yuan Shu was for Sun Ce to break through the manors of the various families as soon as possible, take their money, food, and hostages, and force those in the city to submit. Before Sun Ce left, he had made an appointment for ten days, but just on the third day, Yuan Shu couldn't hold back and sent someone to the He family manor to check the situation.

Thirty miles back and forth, the knight could arrive in an hour, and the knight sent back the news that night.

Sun Ce was reorganizing the army, and the four thousand people became two thousand five hundred.

Yuan Shu jumped up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he suspected that something was wrong with his ears. What he is most worried about now is the lack of troops, and he can't wait to drop tens of thousands of soldiers from the world, Sun Ce still has the heart to reduce his troops, don't give it to me.

Yuan Shu regretted it a little. A teenager is a teenager, Sun Ce is too young, he has no hair on his mouth, and he can't do things well. He really wanted to send someone to replace Sun Ce immediately, but when he thought about it, he praised Sun Ce so much that he was about to go to the sky, and now if he goes back on his word, it really can't be justified, and with Sun Ce's violent temper, he will suddenly take his soldiers, and if he doesn't get it right, it will anger him.

Fortunately, it was only ten days. Yuan Shu gritted his teeth a few times, stomped his feet for a long time, and decided to wait. If Sun Ce can't complete the task within ten days, he must be replaced.

Although he decided to wait for Sun Ce for a few days, Yuan Shu couldn't be completely relieved, and sent knights every day to care about Sun Ce and check the progress.

——

Sun Ce sat on horseback, looking at the Huang family's father and daughter who were busy, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.

A celebrity who was guided by him to become an engineer is indescribably accomplished. Even though this celebrity was not a celebrity in the traditional sense, and his interest in the craftsman of machinery has always been beyond ordinary people, but let him be so attentive, Sun Ce felt that he had not worked in vain in the past few months.

Not to mention that Huang Chengyan brought a group of apprentices with him when he built the giant stone throwing machine, and his team of engineers has begun to take shape.

"Put!" The standard-bearer gave the order, and a big man picked up the sledgehammer in his hand and slammed the mechanism. The mechanism fell, the heavy counterweight fell, and the long crane arm threw more than 100 catties of stones into the sky, and the stones flew out more than 400 steps, and fell to the ground with a bang, smashing the earth and trembling, and the momentum was amazing. Although he was still seventeen or eighteen steps away from the goal, the accuracy was enough to satisfy Sun Ce.

As soon as the stone landed, a group of people took action, some carried the stone onto the ox cart and pulled it back to the position of the stone thrower, some pulled the rope to measure the distance between the landing point and the target, and reported the number loudly, while others held wooden boards and pen and ink, and responded loudly while taking notes.

"Shiyuan, you remember these things you saw today." Sun Ce pointed at the busy crowd with a horsewhip. "In the future, there will be a mark in the history books."

Pang Tong pulled the reins of the horse and smiled politely, but did not speak. Sun Ce saw it and was a little dissatisfied. This bear child, not very old, why is his mind so stubborn.

"You don't believe it?"

Pang Tong scratched his head, although he was a little nervous, he still insisted on his opinion. "General, I don't know if the future history books will record such things, but the history books I have read do not record such things."

"That's because the previous history books were not comprehensive, and the accounts were too simple."

"The saint attaches great importance to the subtlety of his words, and he is not in the Tao."

Sun Ce turned his head and stared at Pang Tong. "The saint you are talking about is Confucius?"

"Nature."

"The Seven Heroes of the Warring States, can there be a Lu State?"

"The early death of the Lu State is precisely because the Duke of Lu does not use the words of a saint."

"You ......" Sun Ce was speechless for a while, angry and angry. His eyes rolled and his anger turned to laughter. "By the way, has Achu bullied you recently?"

"Nope." Pang Tong put away his smile and his face tightened.

"Don't pretend, I know you have an opinion about her. So be it, you guys fight. If you win against her, she won't dare to bully you in the future. If you lose, stay away from her in the future, don't be bored. ”

"I am a dignified man, and I cannot fight with women."

"You can't fight, right?"

Pang Tong's face flushed. "General, I'm a man, she's a woman, I'm thirteen, she's eleven, I'm still a head taller than her, how can I not beat her? The general should not laugh. ”

Sun Ce smiled and said: "You are older than her and taller than her, but don't forget, she has golden silk brocade armor on her body and a sharp blade in her hand, what are you going to use to fight her?" A volume of spring and autumn, or a three-inch tongue? ”

Pang Tong raised his head in surprise. "General, you...... That's unfair, isn't it? ”

"What's unfair? The golden silk brocade armor was designed by herself, and the blade was created by the Cai family, and it has nothing to do with your Pang family. Since the two families are fighting, I can't ask her to give you these too, can I? But you don't have to be afraid, she has skills, you have a way, right? The saint emphasizes the subtlety of the word, and is not in the Tao. ”

Sun Ce said, raising his voice and shouting: "Achu, Achu......"

Huang Yueying, who was recording data in the distance, listened and turned to look. Sun Ce beckoned vigorously, and Huang Yueying handed over the things in her hand to others and walked over quickly. Sun Ce said loudly: "Shiyuan said ......"

Before the words fell, Pang Tong's face changed greatly, and he turned around and ran. "General, I remember, I still have homework to finish, I'll go back first." As he spoke, he took a big stride and ran away.

Huang Yueying walked in front of Sun Ce and looked at Pang Tong's vigorous figure like a rabbit, inexplicable. "General, what's wrong with him?"

"He's in a hurry." Sun Ce laughed. "How much data have you memorized, and have you found anything?"

Huang Yueyingdai raised her eyebrows lightly, and her little face was slightly red. "Why, the general also has discoveries, discuss and discuss? What to bet on this time? ”

"Okay, whatever you want to bet on, I'll accompany you." Sun Ce blinked. "I don't believe I'm going to lose all the time, God is going to let me win once, right? As long as I win once, I can win back all the things I lost to you before, and by the way, a smart and beautiful little companion reads. ”

Huang Yueying turned around, wrinkled her nose, and snorted softly: "I'm afraid you don't have that ability." ”
