On September 25, Sun Jian led an army of 300,000 from Wu County to attack Wang Can. Among them, Lu Su, Zhang Hong, Huang Gai, Zu Mao and other civil and military generals went out together, and the descendants of the descendants were in charge of the country and the government.

When Sun Jian set out on the expedition, Jiujiang was in full swing.

Soldiers recruited from Nanyang, Xiangyang, Nanjun, Jiangxia and other counties in Jingzhou gathered in Jiujiang and merged together for drills. Among the soldiers of each county, the soldiers of Nanyang County are the most elite, and the army is at its peak, and it is a mighty division at a glance. Nanyang County was guarded by Zhang Liao, who was not only proficient in the art of war, but also good at training soldiers.

The 30,000 soldiers he sent over, ordered and forbidden, were comparable to the elite under Wang Can's command.

In the school grounds, Wang Can, wearing a helmet and a saber hanging from his waist, was inspecting the soldiers.

Generals such as Lü Meng, Pang De, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ren were training soldiers, and even Gan Ning and Zhou Tai joined them.

Wang Can said as he walked: "Sun Jian came with 300,000 armor soldiers to kill violently, and there are only less than ten days left to reach Jiujiang, these soldiers are still a little lacking, and they must hurry up to practice." ”

Wei Yan followed Wang Can and said, "Lord, although it is lacking now, it will naturally come to fruition on the battlefield, and all difficulties will be solved." On the battlefield, whoever becomes a bad seed will be cut down by the last general. ”

Wang Can patted Wei Yan's shoulder and smiled with satisfaction.

Immediately, Wang Can stopped, stopped and asked, "Shi A, where is Tai Shi Ci?" ”

Shi A bowed slightly, and replied respectfully: "Back to the lord, Tai Shi Ci rode a black horse day and night, calculate the time to leave, and are about to meet Sun Jian's army." ”

Wang Can said: "Tell me, can a black horse make Sun Jian suspicious?" ”

Shi A thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "If Sun Jian is sane and sober, it will definitely be difficult for a black horse to make Sun Jian suspicious. The current situation is different, Sun Jian has experienced the pain of losing his son twice, losing his beloved general, losing the city, and hating his lord to the core. Sun Jian knew about Tai Shi Ci and would be suspicious of Tai Shi Ci. ”

Wang Can muttered to himself, "I hope so! ”

……

Fuchun County is the place where Sun Jian was born and the place where the ancestral shrine of the Sun family is located.

Sun Jian led an army of 300,000 from Wu County, passing through Jiaxing County and Yuhang County, and finally stopped at Fuchun County. Sun Jian set up camp with the army, and took a small number of soldiers to the ancestral shrine to worship the ancestors and pray for the protection of the ancestors.

After paying homage to his ancestors, Sun Jian returned to the barracks.

After nightfall, the Chinese army's tent was still lit with dim oil lamps.

Sun Jian leaned on the desk and was dealing with military affairs.

The soldiers of the Wu army, like Wang Can's army, were temporarily recruited from various counties, and there was no run-in with each other, no tacit understanding, and it was difficult to cooperate with each other. In addition, the strength of each county is different, and there is a certain gap in the strength of each other, so it needs to be retrained, so Sun Jian also led the troops to rush and train at the same time.

"Whew!"

The curtain of the tent door was rolled up, and Lu Su strode in. Sun Jian raised his head, put down the brush in his hand, and asked, "Zijing, is there anything wrong with coming to me so late?" ”

Lu Su smiled and said, "Lord, Tai Shici is back. ”

Sun Jian stood up suddenly, with a happy look on his face. The next moment, the smile on Sun Jian's face converged, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Lu Su saw the change in Sun Jian's expression, and immediately guessed Sun Jian's inner thoughts, and persuaded him: "Lord, Zhou Yu was killed, Tai Shi Ci was captured, although Tai Shi Ci was captured by Wang Can, but now he is back, which shows that he is loyal to the lord." You summon him first, ask about the situation, and then decide what to do with Tai Shici. ”

Sun Jian took a deep breath, calmed the restless emotions in his heart, and ordered, "Zijing, call Tai Shici in." ”

"No!"

Lu Su turned around and left the big tent of the Chinese army and walked towards the outside of the camp.

Tai Shi Ci led the black horse, holding a big iron gun in his hand, and when he saw Lu Su coming out, he hurriedly greeted him, hugged his fists and asked, "Lord Lu, what did the lord say?" ”

Lu Su smiled and said, "General Taishi, the lord promised to see you, come with me." ”

Tai Shici handed over the big gun and the black horse to the soldiers, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Lu!" ”

Although Tai Shi Ci is a military general, his brain is flexible and changeable, and he knows that meeting Sun Jian at this time will arouse Sun Jian's pain of losing his son, but Tai Shi Ci is Sun Jian's general, and since he is back, he must come to see Sun Jian.

The two of them went one after the other, towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the big tent, Sun Jian sat on it and watched Tai Shici stride in, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

In the past, Dong Xi was captured by Wang Can, and he also followed Sun Yi back to Jiujiang as if nothing happened, but in the end he killed Sun Yi by surprise and surrendered the city. Sun Yi's matter swirled in Sun Jian's mind, so that after Sun Jian saw Tai Shi Ci, he had the idea that Tai Shi Ci might have surrendered to Wang Can.

Tai Shi Ci lifted his robe and knelt down, clasped his fists and said, "The last general, Tai Shi Ci, meet the lord." ”

Lu Su stood beside Tai Shici and saluted.

Sun Jian waved his hand and said, "Zijing, you go down, I'll talk to Ziyi alone." ”

"No!"

Lu Su bowed, turned around and left the big tent.

Sun Jian's expression was serious and cold, and his knife-like eyes were staring at Tai Shi Ci tightly, as if he wanted to see through Tai Shi Ci's heart and see through Tai Shi Ci's thoughts. Tai Shi Ci's expression was calm, quietly waiting for Sun Jian to speak. After a long time, Sun Jian waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk, and tell me how you came back." ”

Tai Shi Ci said with a straight face: "Back to the lord, it is Wang Can who will come back at the end of the year." ”

"What, Wang Can let you go."

Sun Jian's brows furrowed, and he exclaimed in a low voice, with an incredible look on his face.

Looking at the results of Wang Can's battles with various princes, the captured enemies were either taken for his own use, imprisoned, or slaughtered, and there was no precedent for letting his enemies leave. Tai Shici was released back by Wang Can, this is the first time, and there may be an ulterior secret in it.

Sun Jian kept pondering in his heart, guessing Wang Can's thoughts.

Tai Shi Ci was afraid that Sun Jian would not believe his words, and said: "Lord, after the last general was captured by Wang Can, Wang Can wanted to recruit the last general, but the last general would rather die. In the end, Wang Can let the general leave, and also gave him his mount, the black horse. ”

After Sun Jian heard this, his brows were even more twisted.

Wang Can not only released people, but also gave horses to Tai Shici, what does this mean?

Sun Jian also thought in his heart that this was Wang Can's desire to recruit Tai Shici, and he did it on purpose. However, Sun Jian felt that it was impossible for Wang Can to simply give a horse to Tai Shici, and there must be deeper intentions. Or, Tai Shici, like Dong Xi, has been bought by Wang Can, but he is still pretending to be a loyal minister.

Thinking of this, Sun Jian felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Tai Shici again.

Sun Jian made a decision in his heart, and shouted: "Tai Shici, you surrendered to Wang Can, and you came to deceive this king, you are bold." Someone came, dragged Tai Shici down, put him in a prisoner car, and waited for the king to defeat Wang Can, and then dispose of it. ”

As the words fell, two soldiers ran in.

Tai Shici's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly defended: "Lord, I will come back thousands of miles in the end, in order to serve the lord and serve the lord." The lord indiscriminately imprisoned the last general, and the last general refused to accept it. ”

Sun Jian waved his hand impatiently and asked the soldiers to take Tai Shici down.

After Tai Shici was taken down, Lu Su hurriedly ran in.

Lu Su arched his hand and said: "Lord, Tai Shi Ci is open-minded and has the style of a gentleman. From the perspective of the ministers, Tai Shici should be loyal to the lord and will not surrender to Wang Can. ”

Sun Jian asked loudly: "Dong Xi is loyal and brave, but he still defected to the enemy, what do you say?" ”

When Lu Su heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Sun Jian said in a deep voice: "I understand Tai Shici's temperament, but now is a critical time, and there must not be any unsafe factors. I asked Tai Shici to be imprisoned because I had the intention of testing. If Tai Shi Ci is loyal to this king, he will definitely wait patiently for this king to defeat Wang Can and return his innocence. If Tai Shi Ci submits to Wang Can, he will definitely be in a hurry to get out of trouble, and even jump off the wall in a hurry, which will force him to reveal his prototype, and whether he surrenders or not, he can naturally distinguish it. ”

After hearing this, Lu Su shook his head slightly.

From Sun Jian's standpoint, this method is feasible.

However, if Tai Shi Ci surrendered to Wang Can, it would be fine, but if Tai Shi Ci came back with the heart of serving Sun Jian, but was met with a cold reception from Sun Jian and imprisoned, what would he think in his heart?

In addition to the cold, it is still cold.
