Seventy miles south of Hefei City.

On that not very smooth road, Sun Ce was galloping on horseback, followed by three thousand elite Jiangdong foot riders.

The terrain ahead gradually opened up, and not far away, I could faintly see a team of chariots and horses, hurrying towards the north.

Look at it like that, that team of men and horses must be rich and noble.

"It should be the Qiao family's convoy, Gong Jin guessed that it was right, then Old Man Qiao really took this road, hum, Qiao Xuan, do you think you can escape from the palm of my Sun Ce......"

Sun Ce whipped his horsewhip fiercely, urging his subordinates to speed up their gallop.

Ahead, the Qiao family's convoy seemed to be aware of the pursuers behind them, and at the same time accelerated their speed.

It's just that the Qiao family dragged their families to take the lead, even if they accelerated again, how could they compare to Sun Ce's light army, and they were soon caught up, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

Seeing that, the Qiao family's convoy was about to be overtaken.

The corners of Sun Ce's mouth hooked a sneer, and he couldn't help but see the beautiful face of Xiao Qiao in front of him, and he was thinking in his heart that after snatching her sisters back this time, she must get married immediately.

"Look, my lord, there is a lot of dust and fog ahead, and it seems that there are soldiers and horses coming from the north!" Chen Wu suddenly pointed ahead and shouted.

Sun Ce's body was shocked, and his thoughts instantly came back from his imagination, and he looked up from afar.

Sure enough, a few miles ahead, dust and fog rose from the sky, rolling in, and countless iron horsemen could be vaguely seen, rushing through the fog.

Su Zhe's cavalry!

At the critical moment, Su Zhe's cavalry would appear here!

Sun Ce suddenly reined in the war horse.

The Jiangdong soldiers who were running wildly behind them also stopped their steps, crowded each other forward, and fell into a brief chaos.

Sun Ce clenched his fists, looked at the rolling dust mist, and fell into a tangled hesitation for a while.

Su Zhe's unexpected appearance disrupted his wishful thinking.

If he chooses to continue to rush up, he may be able to grab Xiao Qiao, but then he will be rushed by Su Zhe's iron cavalry, and then he and his three thousand foot soldiers will be under the pressure of the iron cavalry, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

But if he stops and turns around and retreats, he can successfully withdraw from the battle area before Su Zhe's iron cavalry comes over, but Xiao Qiao will fall into Su Zhe's hands, and he and Zhou Yu will have nothing to do with him.

The dignified Jiangdong little overlord, how could he bear the woman he fancied to fall into the hands of Su Zhe!

Sun Ce was entangled, and for a moment, he raised his horsewhip and planned to rush forward.

"Calm down!"

Chen Wu hurriedly grabbed his wrist and persuaded bitterly: "The enemy cavalry is coming too fast, if the lord still wants to go, he will fall into the rush of the enemy cavalry, it doesn't matter to me and the soldiers, but what if the lord has a mistake?" ”

Sun Ce's impulsive flame that had just ignited was instantly extinguished by Chen Wu's scoop of cold water.

He put down his horsewhip, took a deep look at the Qiao family's convoy that was gradually moving away, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Order the whole army, turn around and retreat immediately, immediately!" ”

After that, Sun Ce sent the horse first.

Chen Wu breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely.

The 3,000 Jiangdong Army did not know what was happening, so they had to turn around according to the order, and after a short period of congestion, they quickly withdrew to the south in a hurry.

Inside, outside.

Su Zhe was riding his horse wildly, and around the left and right, three thousand iron horsemen galloped like the wind.

He didn't mean to harm Sun Ce's good deeds, but wanted to go deep into the enemy territory with light horses, surprise attack Xiang'an City, the Lujiang County Governor's Office, and give Sun Ce a dismount.

And when Sun Ce discovered him, he also discovered Sun Ce's department, and soon saw the enemy turn around and flee in a hurry.

"I'm not so lucky, I actually met a large group of enemy troops here." Su Zhe cursed secretly in his heart, reined in his horse, and ordered the whole army to stop advancing.

The three thousand iron horsemen stopped in a blink of an eye, and the dust gradually settled.

"Lord, Xiang'an City is not far away, why don't we leave?" Xu Chu asked puzzled.

Su Zhe's horse whip pointed ahead and said: "Seeing that enemy army and horses, since we have bumped into them, our intention to surprise attack Xiang'an will be exposed, after this enemy army retreats to Xiang'an City, it will be ready for battle, and we will lose the meaning of the surprise attack when we go to Xiang'an again." ”

Xu Chu suddenly realized, and couldn't help scolding: "Damn, I just bumped into an enemy army here, could it be that Sun Ce's kid knows that we are going to attack Xiang'an City by surprise?" ”

"Probably not." Su Zhe shook his head, "Even if Sun Ce sees through my plan, he only needs to send troops to strictly guard Xiang'an City, why bother to let people and horses take risks dozens of miles away from the city." ”

"Yes, the lord is reasonable, so what is Sun Ce thinking?" Xu Chu muttered, and couldn't think of a reason for it for a while.

Su Zhe raised his whip and smiled disapprehantly: "It doesn't matter why he is, don't bother thinking about it if you can't figure it out, anyway, our surprise attack on Xiang'an is an unplanned plan, of course it is best to succeed, and it is not a big deal if it doesn't succeed. ”

Xu Chu no longer thought about why, and passed down Su Zhe's order.

The 3,000 Soviet soldiers who had been running wild for a day dismounted one after another, drank water, nibbled on dry food, and seized the time to rest.

Su Zhe just wanted to get off the horse, but Xu Chu had sharp eyes, pointed ahead and said, "Lord, look, there seems to be a convoy not far ahead, and it seems that it is planning to turn around and avoid us." ”

"Che him?"

Su Zhe raised his eyes and stared, and sure enough, he saw a convoy in front of him, which was hurriedly turning around, looking like someone with an identity.

At present, the army is in chaos, no matter what kind of powerful and rich people they are, it is reasonable to avoid them when they run into the army.

Su Zhe was thoughtful, but he saw that something was wrong with this team.

It stands to reason that Sun Ce moved all the people and horses in the north of Lujiang County to the area along the river, and even if there were civilians here, they should be heading south, but the civilian convoy in front of him was obviously coming to the north before.

Moreover, it was at this time that Sun Ce's men and horses also appeared, breaking his intention to surprise attack Xiang'an City.

"Why do I feel that Sun Ce doesn't seem to know that I want to surprise Xiang'an to appear here, but more like he is chasing that convoy?"

Su Zhe's thoughts turned, he suddenly thought about something, his curiosity rose, and he happily shouted: "Zhongkang, let's go, let's go and see who Sun Ce is chasing." ”

As he spoke, Su Zhe rode his horse and galloped up.

Xu Chu hadn't turned the corner yet, but he didn't have time to ask more, and he was busy with hundreds of iron horsemen, and followed Su Zhe to catch up.

The iron horse galloped, and in the blink of an eye, Su Zhe galloped closer.

The convoy had no time to get out, so it had to stop where it was, and a group of domestic servants gathered around the two wagons, weapons in hand, all nervous, as if they were protecting some important person.

The cavalry rushed up and galloped around in a circle, surrounding the convoy.

Su Zhe reined in his war horse, stepped forward slowly, and said loudly: "I am Su Zhe, the general of the court, who of you is in charge, stand up and speak." ”
