After listening to Yang Hong's analysis, Yuan Shu was a little restless, and he couldn't wait to go south, but in order not to arouse Sun Jian's suspicion, he not only handed over the military and political power of Nanyang to him, but also left 5,000 soldiers in Wancheng to garrison, and he led 15,000 horses to the south.

This time he went south, firstly, to stay away from this place, and secondly, to lure Liu Biao to attack, hoping to use his hand to get rid of Sun Jian's sons Sun Ce and Sun Quan, so that the two of them could form an indissoluble enmity, so as to gain the benefits of the fisherman.

Along the way, Yuan Shu ordered Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers to follow him, and even let the young Sun Quan be in the same car with him, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, talking and laughing.

After a few days of getting along, Sun Ce still regarded Yuan Shu as a foreign minister, although he was courteous and thoughtful, he always seemed to have a sense of distance. And the young Sun Quan showed a clever and eccentric side, and he had nothing to do with Yuan Shu, laughing happily and being unhappy with his temper. This not only did not arouse Yuan Shu's disgust, but also made him secretly happy in his heart.

"Quan'er, this sword in your hand is the spiritual soldier that your father and son forced Dong Zhuo to strengthen in front of that Hangu Pass, right?" Yuan Shu shouted at Quan Er without seeing it, and pointed to the sword on Sun Quan's waist with a smile.

Sun Quan patted the extremely ornately decorated scabbard on his waist with his small hand, then winked his blue eyes playfully, and said with a smile: "Guess? ”

Yuan Shu made a contemplative action, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, then I guess it's definitely not." ”

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed with Yuan Shu.

"Lord, why are you so happy?" Changshi Yang Hong urged the horse to come to the chariot and carried some freshly picked nectarines in his hand. "This is a freshly picked Caiyang nectarine, specially sent for the lord and the two grandsons to taste."

Yuan Shu immediately stood up, took the nectarine, and shouted happily at Sun Ce, who was following on horseback: "Bo Fu, come and try it, this Caiyang's nectarine is the best, the fruit surface is smooth and hairless, the fruit color is bright red and dazzling, and the flesh is sweet and crisp." After the nectarines of Caiyang are picked, they will be sent to Luoyang as a tribute, and if they are sent late, it is a crime of deception. ”

"Thank you Yuan Gong for your kindness." Sun Ce hugged his fists on the horse and thanked him, but he did not come forward to eat.

"The elder gives, don't dare to resign." Sun Quan unceremoniously grabbed two nectarines and threw them at Sun Ce.

"Hahaha, Quan'er said well, let's eat a few more." Yuan Shu patted Sun Quan on the shoulder very happily, then picked up a nectarine and wiped it with his own hands, and put it on Sun Quan's hand. "Your two brothers, as the team advances, if you have something to do, you should tell your subordinates to do it. I'll have to make some rounds, or I'll get the soldiers angry. ”

When Yang Hong sent the nectarine, Yuan Shu knew that he had entered the Caiyang realm. Caiyang is located in the east of the confluence of the water and the Han water, mainly hilly hills, the northeast and south part belong to the Tongbai Mountain, Dahong Mountain remnants, the hills are undulating, and the terrain is inclined from the northeast to the southwest.

There are many hills and hills, so it is naturally a good place to set up troops to ambush, no matter whether Liu Biao will come or not, Yuan Shu must be careful and be prepared to take precautions.

Yuan Shu changed his war horse and said to Sun Ce: "Bofu, you have to take care of Quan'er, I will go back when I go." ”

"Yuan Gong, please!" Sun Ce is still polite and thoughtful.

Sun Quan, who was eating nectarines, looked at Yuan Shu's distant back, revealing a thoughtful appearance.

"Report, General Qiyu, most of the Yuan army has passed, and Yuan Shu's Chinese army will arrive soon." The scouts saw that Yuan Shu's team was about to enter the ambush place, and hurried back to report the news.

Cai Mao smiled coldly and asked, "How many people are there in the Chinese army?" Who is guarding it? ”

"General Hui, Yuan Shu's Chinese army is about 8,000 people, and the leader of the army is General Ji Ling, but Yuan Shu's car is behind it, and there are only more than 1,000 people guarding it." The scouts reported the information they had worked so hard to get for days.

"There are only more than 1,000 people guarding Yuan Shu's car?" Cai Mao asked in disbelief.

"Caiyang's territory is hilly, and it is reasonable for the team to be stretched, and please prepare the general to succeed in the first battle!" Kuai Yue's eyes flashed, and his killing intent was revealed.

"Please give the order of the general, the last general is willing to be the striker." Zhang Hu came to Cai Mao's approach with high morale and shouted to fight.

"The last general is also willing to be a striker." Hulala, when several generals heard that Yuan Shu's team was only more than 1,000 people, they immediately became excited, and they stepped forward to ask for battle, wanting to grasp this skill in their hands.

Cai Mao glanced at the generals, then no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered: "Zhang Hu, Chen Shengsheng, you two are the forwards, each leading a thousand steps to ride, directly attacking Yuan Shu's team, if you let that Yuan Shu escape, you two will come to see you." ”

"No!" Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng confidently led the orders and went to prepare.

Cai Mao immediately looked at Liu Biao's nephew Zhang Yun and ordered: "Zhang Yun, you lead the men and horses of your headquarters to block Yuan Shu's rear army, don't let them go to rescue Yuan Shu." ”

"No!" Zhang Yun received the order to go down to prepare.

"The rest of the generals, follow me to lead the army to stop Ji Ling's brigade, this battle, only win, not defeat." Cai Mao said murderously.

"No!"

"Kill, capture Yuan Shu alive, and reward 10,000 gold!" As soon as Zhang Hu saw the banner of the word 'Yuan' flying in the air, he immediately shouted loudly, and led the army with Chen Sheng to Yuan Shu's car to kill.

Knock knock! The rapid sound of war drums resounded through the heavens and the earth, and behind the hills on both sides, one by one the Jingzhou soldiers rushed over with murderous energy.

"Protect the second son!" Sun Ce frowned slightly, took off the spirit soldier battle golden spear, and commanded the twenty cavalrymen behind him.

"Quick, bring my warhorse." When Sun Quan heard the sound of the drum, he quickly put on the spirit armor and shouted loudly for his own soldiers to bring his war horse.

After Sun Quan abandoned the car and got on the horse, he glanced around, and said with a little excitement: "Big brother, we should immediately stay away from Yuan Shu's car." ”

"Second brother, Duke Yuan treats my brother well, how can he call him famous?" Sun Ce reprimanded dissatisfiedly.

Sun Quan stuck out his tongue mischievously, then rushed in a direction with fewer enemy soldiers, and shouted, "Big brother, follow quickly." ”

"Second brother......" Sun Ce exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly urged the horse to chase after him.

"Kill, where is Yuan Shu?" Zhang Hu took the lead, beheaded several people in a row, and came to Yuan Shu's car, but found that no one was in the car, and immediately shouted loudly.

"General, there is a small group of cavalry there, could it be Yuan Shu?" The soldiers behind him shouted in the direction where the Sun brothers had fled.

"Chase!" At this time, where was there still time to confirm, Zhang Hu chased after the war horse as soon as he urged it.
