Sure enough, when Sun Quan entered the city with the jade seal in his hand to meet Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was extremely surprised, if it wasn't for the only little reserve, I was afraid that he would be able to dance with the jade seal. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, when Sun Quan proposed to exchange the jade seal for thousands of soldiers and horses, Yuan Shu seemed to be a little hesitant, although Sun Quan's talent was not as good as his father and brother, but it was also used to restrain Sun Jianyuan's chess. Now that Sun Quan wants to exchange the jade seal for soldiers, Yuan Shu will inevitably be a little worried.

Sun Quan seemed to be a little helpless, but fortunately, Zhou Yu was on the side, and said: "It's normal for General Yuan to be worried, but Jiangdong Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu, Wang Lang, Xu Gong and others support the army and respect themselves, which is a big trouble for General Yuan!" Now Sun's uncle Wu Jingtun is a soldier in Liyang, and he has the intention of taking Moling to offer to the general, and now the soldiers are few and waiting for support, how can the general miss the opportunity? ”

Yuan Shu pondered for a long time, thinking that what Zhou Yu said was very reasonable, and immediately allocated 3,000 troops, and expressed Sun Quan as the captain of Zhichong and the general of Dangkou, and returned Sun Jian's veteran generals and family members together, so that Sun Quan could take Yangzhou and other places. Zhou Yu and Sun Quan saw that the plan had been accomplished, and returned it happily, lest Yuan Shu return halfway and go south to Lujiang overnight.

However, Yuan Shu was just a person who relied on the reputation of his ancestors after all, and in the end, he did not discover Sun Quan's intentions. Sun Quan took Sun Jian's old subordinates, Nai Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Zhu Zhi and others, plus the new Zhou Yu, Er Zhang and Sun Quan's own brothers and sisters, and went to Lujiang in a mighty way.

Lujiang is now under Yuan Shu, and it is guarded by the general Zhang Xun; Although this person has a slight ability to command troops, he is just a mediocre talent, and even the defense of the Lujiang City Gate is extremely lax; Sun Quan placed everyone in the stone pavilion thirty miles outside the city, and he led people into the Lujiang River with Zhou Yu to take care of the assets with Zhou Yu.

The power of the ancestors of the Zhou family is not weaker than that of the Sun family, his cousin and uncle are both officials to the Taiwei, and Zhou Yu's own father Zhou Yi is also Luoyang Ling, compared to Sun Jianzu, Sun Wu and Sun Bin are above, it seems that Zhou Yu's power is more deterrent.

Now that there are many people in the Zhou family serving the Han Dynasty, it is inevitable that the family will be empty, and since the death of his father Zhou Yi, Zhou Yu has assumed the responsibility of the head of the family. Now, in order to show his "loyalty", Zhou Yu resolutely sold all the family property he could embezzle, and exchanged it for one million to fund military expenses. However, the Zhou family is a big family after all, and it is impossible to have only Zhou Yu, and the other Zhou family members have not suffered losses because of this, at most they are just incomprehensible about Zhou Yu's behavior.

Before Zhang Xun could find out, Sun Quan and his entourage were divided into two routes, one way Sun Quan went north on his own, marched from the Lujiang River along the Yangtze River to Liyang and joined Wujing; The other route led Zhou Yu to borrow troops from his uncle Danyang Taishou Zhou Shang, and the two sides agreed to meet in Danyang at the end of the month. Because Sun Jian's fame was extremely loud in the Jiangdong area, his sons and heirs sent troops to Jiangdong, attracting many good deeds to take refuge, and unconsciously, the original team of 3,000 people had grown to 5,000 or 6,000 people.

Sun Quan and his entourage came to Liyang, and Wu Jing's soldiers and horses joined forces, Wu Jing and Liu Xiang fought many times, and there were only thousands of soldiers and horses in their hands, and Liu Xuan's troops still had nearly 30,000 troops, even if Zhou Yu brought Danyang soldiers, Sun Quan's troops were only nearly 10,000, and the chances of winning against Liu Xuan were almost none.

However, it was said that Liu Miao was the assassin of Yangzhou, and he occupied Shouchun, but Yuan Shu went south and took Shouchun, so that Liu Miao had to transfer the Yangzhou governance office to Moling. Now I heard that Sun Jian's descendants went south, 10,000 troops were stationed in Qu'a, and on the other side, the general Zhang Ying led 10,000 troops to be stationed in Niuzhu, and the general Xue Li was stationed at the mouth of the Wujiang River, forming a trap on Liyang.

Suddenly, there was a person, Naidong Laitai Shici came out of the account, and said to Liu Xuan: "Sun Jian's remnants are not enough evidence, if he is led by the eldest Sun Ce, we are still afraid of three points; Now it's just a little Sun Quan, if the lord trusts, he is willing to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to break the enemy army! ”

Liu Miao knew that Taishi was brave and brave, but because he was too young to convince the public, he retreated: "You are a young hero, I know it, but you are too young, you have to be around me, how can you trespass?" Zhang Ying and others have been in war for a long time, don't you believe it? ”

Tai Shi Ci was indignant when he heard this, but he could only retreat silently, waiting for the opportunity to make contributions in the future.

However, it was said that it was approaching the end of the month, and if Sun Quan wanted to go to Danyang, he would have to cross the mouth of the Yangtze River and capture Niuzhukou, an important defensive town of Liu Xuan. However, he was afraid of Xue Li's confrontation at the mouth of the Wujiang River, and it was difficult to move eastward for a while.

However, it is not a way to stay in Liyang all the time, Sun Quan recruited two Zhang to discuss, both of which agreed to attack the east to take Niuzhukou; Wujiang Xue Li is just a harvester, so he is not to be afraid. The decision has been decided, Sun Quan ordered Cheng Puhan to be the first way, Huang Gai Zumao all the way, and he and Wu Jing together attacked Niuzhukou in three ways.

Sun Quan marched all the way to Niuzhukou, but did not expect that the marching plan had been revealed, and the guard general Zhang Ying saw that the troops led by Sun Quan were the most vulnerable, and immediately led 3,000 troops out of the city to ambush, and happened to meet Sun Quan's troops who were slowly coming. Hearing only the sound of a cannon in the air, there were ambushes all around, Sun Quan was shocked and quickly routed.

Under the escort of several cronies, Sun Quan fled all the way west, but Zhang Ying in the rear pursued relentlessly, seeing that he was about to reach the mouth of the Yangtze River and had no way to escape, Zhang Ying was overjoyed and shouted: "Capture the enemy's leader alive, reward a thousand gold!" ”

As soon as these words came out, his subordinates really rushed forward like wolves and tigers, Sun Quan saw that the chasing soldiers were coming, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only look up to the sky and shout: "Am I going to die here?" ”

Before the words fell, I saw the banner surging on the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the word "Zhou" was written on the first flag, Sun Quan thought that Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses were coming, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he quickly rushed to the mouth of the Yangtze River, shouting: "Gongjin save me!" ”

However, it was not Zhou Yu's troops, the person at the head was dark-skinned and strong, wearing ordinary cloth clothes, but the Yangtze River water thieves. Sun Quan was shocked when he saw it, there were thieves in front and chasing soldiers in the back, how should it be good?

But he didn't expect the water thief to suddenly sail forward, so he couldn't help but say, and went straight to the shore to fight with Zhang Ying's troops. Zhang Ying saw that the water thieves were brave and powerful, and he was shocked, threw away his armor, and fled back to Niuzhu.

"Who is Your Excellency and why are you helping me?"

Sun Quan was extremely shocked, he didn't remember having an old relationship with these water thieves. I saw the leader half-kneeling on the ground and asked, "But General Sun's troops?" ”

"So-and-so is Sun Quan."

"Sun Quan ......"

Hearing this name, the man seemed to be a little puzzled, his face was full of doubts, but he seemed to understand something for a moment, and said: "Zhou Tai, a native of Xiajiujiang, heard that General Sun was going south, so he discussed with Jiang Qin, a native of the same county, to help the general and capture Niuzhu. Now Jiang Qin has invaded Niuzhu and set fire to the village; I don't want to meet the general, it's a blessing! ”

Sun Quan didn't seem to notice the change in Zhou Tai's face at all, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for you, I would have died here!" ”

Zhou Tai received the news that it was only General Sun, thinking that it was Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce, who was a famous hero in Jiangdong. But I never thought that Sun Ce didn't come, and it turned out to be the little-known Sun Quan! Although he changed his person, he thought that he had been a water thief for so many years, and it was time to learn from the "Jinfan Thief" Gan Ning to change his evil and return to the right, and he did not dislike this young young master Sun.

Not long after, a water thief suddenly came to report: "Jiang Qin has captured Niuzhukou, and the guard Zhang Ying saw that Niuzhukou was lost and fled back to Qu'a!" Now Jiang Qin has joined General Sun's men. ”

Immediately, Zhou Tai followed Sun Quan's troops and marched all the way to Niuzhukou, which has now been burned to the point of being inhuman, as if it had been abandoned. When Sun Quan entered the city, he was overjoyed when he saw that nearly 1,000 enemy soldiers had been captured, and he saw a brave man in cloth not far away, and said with a smile: "Presumably this is Jiang Yishi!" ”

Jiang Qin was slightly surprised at first, glanced at Zhou Tai behind Sun Quan, and saw that the latter just nodded, so he reluctantly knelt down on one knee and said, "Jiang Qin has seen General Sun." ”

Like Zhou Tai, he was tired of the life of a water thief, and he wanted to take refuge in Sun Ce, but he didn't want to be a little hairy child; Even though he was unhappy in his heart, he thought that he would be a good citizen after doing this vote, so he could only swallow his anger and kneel down to salute.

Zhou Tai nodded with satisfaction, and knelt down and said to Sun Quan: "If General Sun does not give up, a certain and Jiang Qin are willing to serve the general!" ”
