Xuanyuan Pass, when Yuan Shu led the army to arrive at Xuanyuan Pass, Han De had made sufficient preparations, looking at it, the entire Xuanyuan Pass, full of traps, artificially dug ravines, as Liu Xie's few training generals, Han De's command ability may not be strong, but the elite Chengdu under his command, even if it is a strong army in Guanzhong, can occupy a place.

Xuanyuan Pass is adjacent to Songshan, is one of the important gateways of Heluo, once this place is broken, from Xuanyuan Pass to Luoyang will be a horse Pingchuan, the distance is less than 100 miles, it can be reached overnight, if the Tiger Pass is a strategic rush, then Xuanyuan Pass is really the gateway of Luoyang.

However, sandwiched between Songshan and Yangqianshan, it is also impossible to use troops on a large scale, Yuan Shu's camp stretches for more than 30 miles, which looks quite spectacular, but it is not an egg, Yuan Shu can put thousands of troops on the battlefield at a time, just to clean up those traps and add ravines, it took Yuan Shu four or five days, and the worst thing is that there are also two Tiangang Broken Array Crossbows placed on Xuanyuan Pass, although it is not as dense as the Tiger Prison Pass, but now the coalition army has given birth to a psychological shadow on this thing, just put it there, it is useless, It caused the morale of Yuan Shu's army to plummet.

In fact, it is difficult for the two Tiangang Breaking Array Crossbows to form a suppression like the Tiger Prison Pass, if this thing can't shoot continuously, in fact, in terms of damage, Yuan Shu's family background is not unbearable, but it is a blow to morale, but it is quite deadly, and therefore, Han De relied on these two Tiangang Breaking Array Crossbows and the eight thousand defenders in Xuanyuan Pass, and dragged Yuan Shu outside Xuanyuan Pass.

"Lord, I don't understand, why should I listen to his Yuan Shu! What is our soldiers fighting for? "Yuan Shu's camp, Sun Ce's big tent, after a day's killing battle, Chen Wu and Han Dang finally couldn't help but break out.

Han Dang is better, after all, he is a veteran and calm, but Chen Wu's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but he is quite irritable at the moment.

"When we came, we had tens of thousands of soldiers, and now, we have discounted a batch with Liu Bei, and the Tiger Prison Pass has also lost a lot, and now this Xuanyuan Pass, seeing that it is going to be defeated, as long as Yuan Shu is willing to contribute, maybe this Xuanyuan Pass will be broken today, and now the pass has not been taken, but it will be ridiculed by Yuan Shu, and even want to deduct the salary of our army, when tens of thousands of soldiers came, now even three thousand are not enough, why?" Chen Wusheng blushed and said angrily.

Sun Ce's face was gloomy, he was also unhappy in his heart, this Yuan Shu is really a villain, while he wants to use them, he also has to deduct grain and grass, not to mention that the soldiers under his command do not agree, Sun Ce himself now has the intention of chopping Yuan Shu.

glanced at Zhou Yu, but saw that Zhou Yu shook his head, they participated in the alliance this trip, they came to reap benefits, and now they have paid so much, if they retreat at this time, it is better not to come in the first place.

"My lord, the governor." A lieutenant walked in from outside the door, and when he saw that several people were there, he immediately arched his hand and said: "There is a Yuan army outside the camp, but he claims to be a messenger of the imperial court, and the last general will detain him and come to ask for instructions." ”

"An envoy of the court?" Sun Ce and Zhou Yu glanced at each other, stood up at the same time and said, "Quick, bring him in." ”

"Whoa!"

After a while, a man dressed as Yuan Jun was brought in.

Sun Ce looked this person up and down a few times, and couldn't help but nodded, it really didn't look like the gang of cowards under Yuan Shu's command, and waved his hand: "Untie up!" ”

"Whoa!" Two of his own guards helped the man loosen his ties.

"You say, you are an envoy of the imperial court, what proof do you have?" Sun Ce sat on the handsome seat, condescending, looking down at this person, no matter how he looked, he didn't look like a messenger, five big and three rough, with a fierce face, not like a man who could speak well, but like a fierce general who cut the generals before the battle.

"No credentials required." The man took out an edict from his bosom: "I am only here to pass the edict, as for believing it or not, the general will distinguish it by himself." ”

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows, this product is really a seed!

"Where is the edict?" Zhou Yu on the side asked.

The messenger took out a silk book from his bosom and handed it to Chen Wu on the side.

Chen Wu handed over the edict to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce unfolded the edict, which was an edict of appointment, appointing Sun Jing as the Taishou of Guangling, and there was a seal on it, which was indeed the edict of the Son of Heaven.

Sun Ce handed the edict to Zhou Yu, looked down at the envoy, and frowned: "There is only an edict, why is there no official seal?" ”

"The official seal of the imperial court is unique, if the general wants a new official seal, he will hand over the old official seal to the imperial court, and the imperial court will engrave a new official seal." The messenger said loudly.

"In other words, His Majesty wants me to help him fight Xuzhou, but he refuses to give me anything?" Sun Ce sneered: "This abacus is a good game, if I shouldn't, what should I do?" ”

A typical white wolf with empty gloves.

"Whatever you want!" The strong man said impatiently: "The edict has been given to you, should or should not be in you, my mission has been completed, if there is nothing else, take your leave." ”

Sun Ce only felt a little breathless in his chest, and after living for so long, it was the first time he had seen this kind of lobbyist...... No, I shouldn't say it's a lobbyist, but even if it's just a messenger, can I be a little self-conscious? I knew that it was the imperial court, I didn't know, I thought it was his Uncle Sun Jiade, what did that extremely impatient expression mean?

"Stay strong!" Zhou Yu saw that this thing was really leaving, and hurriedly stopped, this should have been Mr. Liu, but to this messenger, the word Mr. is really unspeakable, and the word strong man is almost blurted out.

"What else?" The strong man turned his head and looked at Zhou Yu impatiently, and his busy expression made the civil and military in the tent suddenly have an urge to beat this person up.

"I haven't consulted the name of the strong man, what is his current position?" Zhou Yu took a deep breath and tried to make his smile more natural.

"Li Daniu, it is the leader of General Wei Xu!" The strong man said with his head held high.

Hehe, team rate?

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had black lines on their faces, they knew that it was a team rate, and those who didn't know thought it was a general from the imperial court who had arrived.

"Didn't Your Majesty tell you to order us to retreat?" Zhou Yu was puzzled.

"Nope." Li Daniu thought about it carefully and made sure that Guo Jia had not explained this to him, but then patted his head, looked at Sun Ce and said, "I almost forgot, let me tell you that Chen Deng is dead." ”

Chen Deng...... He's dead!? Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other in shock, Chen Deng may not have much reputation in the Central Plains, but for them, it is not simple, after Sun Ce unified the four counties of Jiangdong, he did not have the idea of fighting Guangling, but he was repelled by Chen Deng several times, such a character, suddenly someone came to tell him that the other party was dead......

Sun Ce suddenly took the edict in Zhou Yu's hand, read it again, and made sure that the other party was not teasing him, so he raised his head and said, "How did you die?" ”

"Ten thousand arrows pierce the heart." Li Daniu said.

Hiss~

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, this way of death is a bit heroic, but it seems that the focus of their question is not here, Sun Ce asked patiently: "I mean, how can I be pierced by ten thousand arrows?" ”

"Hundreds of archers shot at him, and then ten thousand arrows pierced his heart." Li Daniu looked at Sun Ce with some disdain, he couldn't figure out this question, the princes of one side were at this level, no wonder he couldn't find the north by His Majesty.

Sun Ce: "......"

Li ...... Rate, why did Your Majesty ask you to be your envoy? Zhou Yu looked at Li Daniu and rubbed his temples, most of the people who came to be messengers and lobbyists were arrogant and sharp...... These two conditions seem to be enough for Li Daniu in front of him, but the taste seems to be different from what he said.

"Your Majesty sent the edict to General Wei, and General Wei asked me to come over to deliver the letter, and by the way, I will tell you about Chen Deng's death." Li Daniu didn't expect it.

"Why...... Don't send anyone else? Zhou Yu pondered his words.

"I won the lottery." Li Daniu said: "This edict is equivalent to the military merit of beheading ten people, everyone wants to come, and finally draw lots to decide, who wins and who comes, and I won, after I go back this time, I will be a general!" If there is nothing important, I will take my leave. ”

After speaking, without waiting for a few people to reply, he left the camp impatiently, leaving Sun Ce and a group of people to stare dryly.

He said...... Drawing? The muscles in the corners of Sun Ce's eyes twitched a few times, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, and then at Chen Wu and Han Dang.

"Good...... It seems to say so! Chen Wu nodded mechanically, and still can't react, there seems to be something wrong with this imperial court envoy.

"How can it be!" Sun Ce grabbed the silk silk and pointed in the direction where Li Daniu left and scolded: "Since my debut, I have never suffered such a shameful humiliation, what does the Son of Heaven mean to send such a tamper to pass the edict?" I'm mad at me! ”

"Don't be impatient!" Zhou Yu held down Sun Ce, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Obviously, the Son of Heaven is sure that we will leave, so whoever comes to pass the edict is the same." ”

"What does that mean?" Sun Ce turned his head and wondered.

"I'm waiting here, why am I here?" Zhou Yu asked instead of answering.

"......" Sun Ce blinked, a little sober.

"In order to be able to strengthen my Jiangdong, the Son of Heaven will divide Guangling into our army this time, if Chen Deng is really dead, it will be a godsend opportunity for our army to seize Xuzhou!" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "As for the alliance, what do you have to do in my Jiangdong, now it is just right, you can use this as a reason, our army has suffered heavy losses, and it is no longer important to the coalition army, I will ask Yuan Shu to resign and return to Jiangdong, and I will gather troops and horses before Xuzhou reacts, and take the opportunity to capture Guangling!" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he was silent for a moment, and nodded, as Zhou Yu said, if Chen Deng's death is true, it will definitely be a God-given opportunity for Jiangdong.

"It's just this person...... It's hateful! Sun Ce put down his hand hatefully, looked at the direction Li Daniu left, and said hatefully.
