Chapter 506 If you want to save face, you have to fight

Xu Chu, who has no political vision, Hua Yun led 5,000 Yanzhou soldiers and horses into Shouchun, and he didn't remember Cao Bin's advice not to make enemies with Jiangdong soldiers, this Shouchun is the place where Jiangdong is determined to win, and Chen Qing's disaster Shuidong led to Xu Chu, isn't it an indirect enmity with Jiangdong?

But the two of them haven't realized this problem yet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses left only ten miles, and a scout Pegasus came to report: "General, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses are less than five miles away from Shouchun, and they are about to arrive in Shouchun!"

"Jiangdong soldiers and horses came so fast? Under what banner? Chen Qingzhi stopped the war horse with a stiff rope and hurriedly asked.

"Headed by three sides, one Sun word, two Zhou words!" The scout replied.

Chen Qingzhi frowned and said: "Jiangdong soldiers attacked Yuan Shu, basically Sun Ce and the younger generation are fighting, the surname Sun is Sun Ce, two weeks, it should be Zhou Yu and Zhou Tai, the most powerful characters are here!"

"Since Jiangdong Bing has gone to Shouchun, let's go quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" Qin Qiong suggested.

Chen Qingzhi shook his head solemnly and said: "No, most of our infantry troops will be able to catch up if the Jiangdong soldiers and horses and the Yanzhou soldiers and horses resolve the misunderstanding and pursue us with all their might."

"What if they can't resolve the misunderstanding and they fight?" Qin Qiong asked.

"Then we have enough time to leave, the scouts are exploring, there is a terrain in front of us suitable for ambush, let's go to the front to ambush first. If they resolve the misunderstanding and chase after them, we will ambush them, if they fight for Shouchun, the scouts will come to report quickly, then it will not be too late for us to leave! Chen Qing ordered.

"No!" The scout hurriedly rode towards Shouchun, while Chen Qingzhi led the main force to set up an ambush in front.

Under Shouchun City, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led an army of 10,000 to come, looking at the soldiers and horses on Shouchun City, Sun Ce scolded loudly: "You wait for the Qingzhou army to be so bold, I fought bloodily on the front line, and you dare to take the opportunity to seize my Shouchun, and quickly go out of the city to die."

The Yanzhou soldiers and horses on the head of the city were stunned, this is the Qingzhou soldiers, who treat us as Qingzhou soldiers and horses? The soldiers hurriedly went to find Xu Chu Huayun, and Xu Chu simply bandaged his buttocks before he could sit hot, and then came to the city again.

The Jiangdong soldiers and horses under the city are still shouting and scolding, such as the people of Qingzhou are all despicable villains, quickly abandon the city and surrender, and go out of the city to die.

When Xu Chu heard this, he shouted, "Who is under the city?"

"I am Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, you Qingzhou soldiers are so bold, you dare to steal my Shouchun? Get out of the city and surrender quickly, I will spare you from death! Sun Ce shouted.

"I think you recognize the wrong person, we are Yanzhou soldiers and horses, I am Yanzhou general Xu Chu, now Shouchun is under my Yanzhou, you should retreat quickly!" Xu Chu laughed.

Sun Ce's face under the city changed greatly, they were so tough on the Qingzhou soldiers and horses because the Qingzhou soldiers were alone and had no follow-up. But the Yanzhou soldiers are very different, if Zhao Kuangyin wants to win Shouchun, it will be a big battle between Yanzhou and Jiangdong. In this way, it is quite troublesome.

But he Jiangdong is determined to win Jiujiang, Sun Ce is a young hero and is not afraid of Yanzhou, just about to scold, Zhou Yu on the side hurriedly grabbed Sun Ce and said: "Before the war, my three families had a clear division of labor, Zhao Kuangyin took Yuzhou, we took Lujiang, Jiujiang, and even my uncle and Zhao Kuangyin still had correspondence. Now that the Yanzhou soldiers and horses are in Shouchun, they have violated the agreement, and there are still many doubts about this matter, let me ask! ”

"It's good!" Sun Ce nodded, and Zhou Yuce immediately stepped forward and asked in a deep voice: "Didn't the Qingzhou soldiers and horses take advantage of the battle between my two families to raid Shouchun?" Why are your soldiers and horses in Shouchun, could it be that you colluded with Qingzhou soldiers and horses to bully me Jiangdong? ”

Xu Chu felt that something was not quite right when he heard this, and hurriedly explained: "This is sent to my Yanzhou by the Qingzhou soldiers, and the Qingzhou soldiers and horses have retreated!"

Zhou Yu turned his head and glanced at Sun Ce, this matter was really a little strange! Zhou Yu shouted: "Before the war, our two families had an appointment, you take Yuzhou, we take Shouchun, Jiujiang." Why did you march into Jiujiang? ”

Xu Chu only realized at this time that he was deceived by Chen Qingzhi, they shouldn't have entered this Shouchun! Xu Chu was about to explain, but he swallowed the words again, but he had a rough personality, and he didn't want to be soft on the Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and Hua Yun on the side didn't know how to say it. If Shouchun is given to Jiangdong soldiers like this, they can't save this face, how will these soldiers look at them?

At this moment, a horse came from the northwest direction, rode a horse and rushed to the city, Xu Chu looked at the man and said in surprise: "General Li Dian, why are you here?"

"The general marches fast, but I am so chased!" This person is Li Dian sent by Cao Bin to supervise Xu Chu, and he didn't rush to Li Dian, Xu Chu still confronted Jiangdong Bing, but fortunately, there was no fight and no one died, and there was still room for mediation in the matter.

"Who are you?" Sun Ce saw that Li Dian and Xu Chu knew each other, and asked in a cold voice.

"Yanzhou Li Dian has seen General Sun?" Li Dian bowed to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and said, "You are Li Dian?" Let me ask you, why did you Yanzhou occupy Shouchun and break the alliance between our two families? ”

Li Dian hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The general misunderstood, this is a misunderstanding, my family General Xu is fighting on the front line, and the lord is doing things in the rear, so he didn't tell General Xu." After General Xu bravely defeated Yuan Bing, he pursued the victory until Shouchun came, and the Qingzhou soldiers wanted to make our two armies feud, so they deliberately gave up Shouchun. My lord has no intention of competing with Jiangdong for Jiujiang! ”

"General Xu, the lord ordered our army not to enter Jiujiang, and you still don't go out of the city to give Shouchun to General Sun?" Then Li Dian drank at Xu Chu in the city.

Li Dian's remarks not only resolved the misunderstanding, but also raised his value, where did Xu Chu not know that he couldn't occupy Shouchun? Zhao Kuangyin has already made it clear that Li Dian deliberately said that Xu Chu didn't know, and he was advancing on the front line until Shouchun, which was to save face for Xu Chu and let Jiangdong not underestimate the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou.

And the last word is quite meaningful, this Shouchun was given to you by Yanzhou in Jiangdong, but it was not fought down by you, and it raised its value.

Sun Ce listened and glanced at Li Dian deeply, he had already seen that this was a conspiracy in Qingzhou, and wanted them to fight with Yanzhou's soldiers and horses. And Xu Chu at the head of the city was just a pawn of the Qingzhou soldiers, but this Li Dian in front of him couldn't help but make Sun Cegao take a look.

However, since Yanzhou soldiers and horses have given up Shouchun, Sun Ce has not bothered to pursue it, after all, now is not the time to confront Zhao Kuangyin. Maybe when it was time to resist Liu Wei, the two families would have to work together, Sun Ce didn't say anything, and waited for the Yanzhou soldiers in the city to leave the city.

And Xu Chu in the city also quickly led the soldiers and horses out of the city and ceded Shouchun to Jiangdong.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides were stationed outside the city, Sun Ce waved his hand and ordered the first general to lead two thousand soldiers and horses into Shouchun, and then looked at Xu Chu and said, "General Xu doesn't know how long the Qingzhou soldiers have left?"

"In less than half an hour, I'm afraid it won't be more than twenty miles!" Xu Chu replied, and then the character sank and said: "By the way, not long after they left, the Qingzhou soldiers intended to let the two sides fight, and they were vicious, I want to hunt them down!" Why don't you and I chase and kill together! ”

Sun Ce was also angry about the intentions of the Qingzhou soldiers, and was about to agree, but was pulled by Zhou Yu, so Sun Ce said: "Shouchun is still unstable, and our army will not go if it wants to be a leader!"

A trace of regret flashed in Xu Chu's eyes, and he led his soldiers and horses to the east to pursue the Qingzhou soldiers.

Not long after Xu Chu led the army to leave, Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu, "Why didn't Gongjin let me chase after me?"

"That Xu Chu is a brave general, his eyes are above the top, if he wants to chase him, he should chase it himself, but he wants to pull the general, which shows that the Qingzhou soldiers are strong, and he is not sure. It's better to let him chase and fight for a while, we are going, so that we can not only win a big victory, but also sell his personal favor! It's good to repay him for Shouchun's affection! Zhou Yu explained.

Sun Ce laughed and said: "Gongjin is really clever, send an order to go down to the army to prepare and prepare to march east!"

But it was said that Xu Chu's march was only a few miles, Li Dian asked Xu Chu about the journey, and after knowing the situation, Li Dian was shocked and said: "Qingzhou soldiers are so powerful? There are two generals, but even the two generals are not opponents? ”

Xu Chu nodded and said: "That's Wen Yang's deception, if it's a real knife and a real gun, it's definitely not my opponent!"

Li Dian shook his head and said: "Then you can't chase it, General, you have been injured, you are no longer his opponent, we have few soldiers, if we fight, we will definitely suffer, let's go north and return to Yuzhou directly!"

"If I don't kill the Qingzhou soldiers, it's hard to vent the hatred in my heart!" Xu Chu said hatefully.

"Hmph, you are fortunate that you did not confront Jiangdong on this trip, and there was no major contradiction, if you go to chase the Qingzhou soldiers again, the loss of the soldiers will be known by the lord, and he will definitely punish you severely. Now we have no losses, and we can still hide the matter of sending troops for you when we go back safely, even if the lord knows, I can intercede! Li Dian said in a deep voice.

"Hey, well, on the battlefield in Japan, you must look good!" Xu Chu clenched his fists, but he was afraid of Zhao Kuangyin's punishment, so he listened to Li Dian's words, and led his troops to the north to prepare to enter Yuzhou, not chasing the Qingzhou soldiers.

The news that Xu Chu led the army north was soon reached by the scouts, and Sun Ce sneered: "The Yanzhou soldiers are also decisive, and they don't chase anymore, so it seems that only we are pursuing!"

So Sun Ce led Zhou Yu and Zhou Tai, leaving 2,000 soldiers and horses to guard Shouchun, and led 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers and horses to pursue Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army.

Yangzhou is mountainous, but more than 20 miles, you can see the mountain road in front of you is undulating, Jiangdong soldiers and horses gradually marched into the mountain road, Zhou Yu looked around, but saw that the forest was silent, the trees were dense, his face changed, and he whispered to Sun Ce beside him: "Bo Fu, let's enter the ambush, let the army slowly retreat!"

Sun Ce looked around, it was really terrifying, knowing that he had indeed entered an ambush, and his left hand was gently raised and he made a retreat gesture. The Jiangdong soldiers understood, and one by one the generals made gestures, and the soldiers slowly retreated one by one, preparing to withdraw from the mountain road.
