Chapter 278 [Capturing Tai Shi Ci]
When leaving Chaohu, Wei Yan not only arranged for Gan Ning to reorganize the Chaohu Water Army, but also sent the hunter Ma Zhong to Jing County, Danyang County to rescue Tai Shici. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, Liu Miao was defeated and ran to Yuzhang County, and Tai Shici fled to Wuhu, fled into the mountains, called himself Danyang Taishou, gathered more than 2,000 people, and stationed in Jing County.
Sun Ce personally led the troops to attack Jing County, he felt sorry for Tai Shi Ci, decided to capture Tai Shi Ci alive, and ordered to besiege the county seat of Jing County on three sides, leaving only the east gate to let go, fifty miles away from the city, three roads each ambushed an army, Tai Shi Ci to where, people are sleepy and horses are lacking, and they will inevitably be captured.
The head of Jingxian was very short, and that night, Sun Ce asked Chen Wu to hold a knife in short clothes and first climbed up to the city to set fire.
Most of the more than 2,000 people recruited by Tai Shi Ci were the people of Shanyue, there was no discipline, and when they saw the fire in the city, there was a big chaos, and Tai Shi Ci saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to get on his horse and flee to the east gate.
Behind him, Sun Ce led the army to come, and after chasing for more than 30 miles, he didn't chase anymore.
Tai Shici continued to run, and the people and horses gradually dispersed, and finally he was left alone, and he was already sleepy.
He was about to go further, and suddenly a person rushed out in front of him: "General Ziyi, there is an ambush by Sun Ce's men and horses ahead, don't go!" ”
Tai Shi Ci looked at it, the person looked obscene, and he didn't believe it, so he asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man smiled and said, "I am Ma Zhong, a lieutenant under the command of General Wei Wenchang of Pingnan, this is my token." ”
General Tai Shi Ci was suspicious: "I don't know General Wei, why did he help me?" ”
Ma Zhong said with a smile: "My lord said that he crusaded against the traitor Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce was a subordinate of Yuan Shu, Sun Ce was not good for General Ziyi, and the enemy of the enemy was a friend, so he specially ordered me to come and save you." Please come here with me, General. ”
Tai Shi Ci had no other choice now, so he chose to believe Ma Zhong and followed him to a small road, which was a small road without Sun Ce's men and horses ambushing, and walked straight into the reeds.
Suddenly, two tripping horses came together and tripped over Tai Shici's horse.
When Tai Shi Ci wanted to get up on the ground, there were many long hooks around him, hooking him.
There is no need to blame Tai Shici for being incompetent, it is a generation of gods Guan Yu, when he encountered Ma Zhong, he also "shouted, two ambushes were exhausted, long hooks and lassoes, and they were raised together, and Guan Gong sat down and tripped over the horse first." Guan Gong turned over and fell off the horse, and was captured by Pan Zhang's general Ma Zhong. ”
Subsequently, Tai Shici was tied up by Wuhua and escorted to a boat.
Tai Shi Ci asked Ma Zhong angrily: "Didn't General Wei ask you to help me, why did you capture me?" ”
Ma Zhong said with a smile: "My lord said that General Ziyi is skilled in arching and horse, good at riding and shooting, good at commanding cavalry, and young horses in the south of the Yangtze River, not where General Ziyi can show his strength, and he also invited General Ziyi to come to Jiangbei to show his ambitions."
But I think that if I persuade General Ziyi to go to my father-in-law, General Ziyi will definitely refuse to abandon Liu Miao and go north, so I can only make this decision, tie up General Ziyi, and escort him to Shouchun! ”
Wei Yan did not explicitly say that Ma Zhong tied up Tai Shici, but hinted that "no matter what method is used".
……
At this time, Sun Ce heard that the ambush soldiers on the three roads did not see Tai Shici, so he ordered people to search for him.
When I found Tianming, I learned from a fisherman that more than a dozen people with Huainan accents were escorting a man to the north in three small boats, and the man had long hair and longer arms than ordinary people.
Tai Shici is not a handsome guy with a white face and beard as later generations thinks, but a body of seven feet and seven inches and a beautiful beard.
"How dare you rob someone right under my nose! Outrageous! Sun Ce was furious, because he didn't have time to recruit warships in a hurry, he recruited hundreds of small boats on the shore of Wuhu, personally led two thousand sailors, and chased them down.
Several small boats passed through the gap between the encirclement of the Jiangdong army, crossed the Yangtze River, and entered Chaohu Lake.
At this moment, the ship behind reported to Ma Zhong: "Captain Ma, Sun Ce's navy is about to catch up!" ”
Ma Zhong looked back and saw only a large number of boats in Wuyang, and he couldn't help but feel numb with fright, and hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and row!" Hurry up and paddle! Let's all paddle together! ”
The oars plucked the waves, and the boat paddled forward at a high speed.
In order to act covertly this time, he only brought twenty people and scattered them in three small boats, except for the helm, only six people rowed.
Sun Ce had more than a dozen people rowing on his side, with strong power and fast speed, and the boat flew like an arrow, narrowing the distance between him and Ma Zhong's three small boats little by little.
Seeing that this mission was about to fail, Ma Zhong was anxious.
Tai Shici lay on the boat and said lazily: "Untie me untied, I will come to repel the enemy for you!" ”
Ma Zhong was worried that Tai Shi Ci would take the opportunity to escape, so he snorted coldly: "We can handle it ourselves!" ”
Tai Shi Ci closed his eyes and recuperated, for him, being captured by Sun Ce was no different from being captured by Wei Yan.
Although Sun Ce is a subordinate of Yuan Shu, Tai Shi Ci can see that Sun Ce already has the will to stand on his own.
Although Wei Yan was appointed by the imperial court as a general of Pingnan, his official position was far above Sun Ce, and he also defeated Yuan Shu, and was known as a benevolent and righteous person, which made him a little fascinated, but the problem was that he had never met Wei Yan and did not know Wei Yan at all, and Ma Zhong used that method to capture him, which really made him angry.
Therefore, Tai Shici decided not to help each other.
After another while, the distance between Sun Ce's army and Ma Zhong's side had been shortened by a hundred steps.
The archers on Sun Ce's side stretched out their bows and arrows, swishing, and the arrows flew like locusts, and they had already shot all the soldiers on Ma Zhong's other two boats.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Zhong suddenly remembered a bag that the lord had passed to him before, and opened it to see that it read, "Please ask Tai Shici for help"!
In fact, Ma Zhong didn't know much about Tai Shici's ability, but since the lord said that, there must be no problem, so he had to admit it, loosen Tai Shici's ties, and bow his head and say: "Please also ask General Ziyi to reject the enemy!" ”
Tai Shi Ci saw that Ma Zhong's posture was very respectful, so he opened his bow and arrows and shot back.
Although in the swaying boat, Tai Shici was still a good example, swishing, shooting more than a dozen arrows, shooting to death the helmsman who rushed to the front of the few small boats.
Sun Ce's navy saw that the soldiers on the left and right fell in response, and they were all frightened and stagnant.
Ma Zhong hurriedly ordered someone to row a boat and pull away as soon as possible.
Sun Jun's archers were about to fight back, but Sun Ce stopped: "Don't hurt General Ziyi!" ”
His most fundamental task this time is to capture Tai Shi Ci alive and use it for him, if ten thousand arrows are fired and Tai Shi Ci is shot to death, it is meaningless to cross the river this time.
Tai Shi Ci opened his bow and shot arrows to resist the enemy, while Ma Zhong rowed desperately.
Sun Ce's navy was in hot pursuit.
After Tai Shi Ci shot twenty arrows, he found that the quiver was empty.
At this time, Sun Ce's navy did not have Tai Shici's suppression, rowed with all his strength, the boat was like flying, and gradually approached Tai Shici's boat.
One hundred steps, eighty steps...... Getting closer.
