Chapter 494: Plotting to Pacify Jiangdong (23)

Giving the most elite troops in the force to his subordinates is a kind of trick for the superior to win over power, and if he takes it seriously, he will lose.

Since the beginning of Wu County, Sun Ce has had a very poor impression of Pan Zhang, although in just over a year, because of Zhou Yu's words and recommendations, and Sun Ce's side can only rely on the service of the younger generation of civil and military forces such as Lu Fan, Pan Zhang, and Sun He, and he is eager to show the ability of the new generation of family heads in front of a group of old Sun generals, so that Pan Zhang has risen in such a short period of time and has become a highly regarded "celebrity" around Sun Ce. And under such a critical battle situation, all 1,000 people of the army's most elite shooting battalion were handed over to Pan Zhang.

What Sun Ce did was a gesture.

In the current situation, although the land of Yuzhang is vast, and rich in military rations, far away from military disasters, although there are mountains and often chaos, it is also an excellent place to raise soldiers. But it's a pity that Yuzhang is too far away from the Central Plains! Although the territory of Yuzhang is vast enough to compare with Qingzhou, the population base here is less than half of Qingzhou, which is the result of the sharp increase in population after the northern people fled south to avoid war.

Trapped in this remote place, even if there are Jiangdong heroes and old generals of the Sun family who have gathered before, and Zhou Yu and Lu Su are dedicated to assisting, they will raise an army that dares to fight Lu Bujun's idea in a short time. Wooing Danyang, deterring Huiji and Wu Jun, and plotting against Guangling, it is not unpleasant. But whether it is the Sun generals, or even Sun Ce himself, it is very clear that if he can't take advantage of the great opportunity that Lu Bu's army is trapped in Hebei for a while and can't get out, and seek Yangzhou in one fell swoop, then what he will face next is very likely to be the disaster of Lu Bu's anger. This is something that the little overlord of Jiangdong cannot tolerate!

So. Sun Ce, who was forced to mature a lot, had to temporarily let go of his likes and dislikes and try his best to win over everyone available around him. Pan Zhang is one of them.

"Wen Si is brave. Loyal and pure, although there is a slight flaw, it is still impossible to hide it, but it can be indulged! Use it! Until he used Pan Zhang as a striker, Sun Ce still remembered Zhou Yu, who was struggling to guard Yu Zhang with illness at the moment, and his sincere words after recommending Pan Zhang. The first few sentences are all nonsense, and the key is actually above the word "longitudinal" at the end.

Pan Zhang is different from Lu Fan and Sun He. does not have a prominent family background, no blood relationship with Sun Ce, just started as a small soldier. In just two years, he can get ahead in the Sun army, and it is absolutely impossible to do without two brushes. It is precisely because of Pan Zhang's extremely strong desire that Zhou Yu has a strong help when the Sun family is in trouble.

However, Zhou Yu obviously overestimated Sun Ce's measurements. Give Pan Zhang's various favors and trusts. That's fine. However, the last trump card that was intended to be used to compete with Qin Xu was handed over to Pan Zhang. To be honest, Sun Ce was really a little uneasy. So when Pan Zhang ordered the headquarters and the 1,000-shot battalion to attack quickly. Sun Ce was not idle. He just ordered the troops under his command to rest for a while and then pulled out of the camp, far behind Pan Zhang's army.

Sun Ce was not worried that Pan Zhang would have two hearts. In the shooting sound camp, Sun Ce basically practiced it hand in hand according to the testament of his own soldier saint. Although due to various reasons, only 1,000 people were formed in the end, Sun Ce fully believed that if this strange army was used well, it would be enough to receive more than five times the effect when fighting against the enemy. What Sun Ce is worried about is that Pan Zhang's fight has always been unaccurate, and Qin Xu of Jiangdong who came to "sort out" this time. It's not like it's like it, and it's too Shici's ability. Sun Ce knows too well, if Pan Zhang is beaten to the point of character, he can't understand that the symbolic significance of this thousand-shot sound battalion is far greater than its own combat power, this is the last bit of the old Sun family's old book that can be used, don't really fight it!

I have to say that Sun Ce's skills in recognizing people are still the best. At least in terms of the perception of Pan Zhang. Originally, Sun Ce was also thinking about the use of people here, and he must not lose the big because of the small, and the different attitude chilled the heart of the general. But the news of the appearance of the 7,000 army led by Tai Shi Ci and Yan Baihu from the front line made Sun Ce have to order an expedited march, hoping not to lose too much.

It is also endless. Although the soldiers of the Shooting Battalion are all strong men in Jiangdong and can be regarded as "professional", when facing the 5,000 well-equipped Qingzhou soldiers, the huge gap in numbers and equipment is still obvious. Just when the Qingzhou soldiers, who were like a bamboo, were about to break through the defensive formation hastily arranged by Pan Zhang's headquarters and the shooting sound battalion, and almost trapped Pan Zhang, Sun Ce's army, which was already closely behind, could have arrived.

"Taishi Ziyi! Dare to fight with a certain battle again! This time it was originally just to chase Yan Baihu who escaped from Yuzhang, and Sun Ce only brought Pan Zhang, who was trapped in the formation at the moment, because the news of Qin Xu's army raiding Yuzhang has gradually spread, and Sun Ce's army's fighting spirit has also been affected. Sun Ce knocked open the spear in the hand of the Qingzhou soldier who wanted to take advantage of the gap to sneak attack his horse, leaned over and slashed through the soldier's chest with a backhand, but unexpectedly, the ancient ingot knife only left a spark on the leather armor on the soldier's chest. Sun Ceming saw a flash of pain on the soldier's face, but there was a flash of joy in his eyes, and his heart suddenly sank.

"Not good!" Thanks to Sun Ce's quick reaction, the ancient ingot knife was ineffective, Sun Ce subconsciously turned the horse's head between the lightning and flint, and the knife in his hand turned into a collision, so that he could avoid the soldier being stabbed, but he did not retreat but advanced, and the target was obviously the tail of the gun of the horse's head on his mount. Good fellow, if you hit it this time, it is not impossible for the tail of the big gun wrapped in iron to smash the horse's head. In this situation, even Sun Ce was shocked into a cold sweat at this moment.

If this is really done and the horses are destroyed, even if the little overlord Sun Ce is really reborn and has extraordinary bravery, he will have to fold here in the end. That's really ridiculous and generous.

However, because of this encounter, Sun Ce was quite damaged because he saw the shooting sound camp before, and he still complained about Pan Zhang's mind a lot. Who would have thought that the individual defense of the Qingzhou soldiers would be so strong? The ancient ingot knife, the ancestral treasure of the old Sun family for several generations, could not break through the defense of an ordinary soldier of Qingzhou soldiers. If he hadn't done it himself, even Sun Ce wouldn't have believed it.

However, the strength of Sun Ce's army was still more than twice that of the Qingzhou soldiers, although the two sides fought together. For a while, it was impossible to tell the winner from the loser, but after all, whether it was Tai Shi Ci or Sun Ce, they were all feeling sorry for the soldiers they led, so under Sun Ce's questioning, it was in the arms of Tai Shi Ci.

Although the two of them have met on the battlefield several times, the real battle was only when they helped Tao Qian "resist" Yuan Shu. And only this time. inexplicably made the two feel sorry for each other. After that, whether it was the Battle of Guangling or the Battle of Fuguan, there was no chance to fight again. Whether it is Tai Shici or Sun Ce, in fact, there are some regrets in their hearts.

Now the opportunity is just right. Both sides are their own hearts, and each has its own scruples, therefore. The two sides of the army returned to their own positions. Waiting for the battle between the respective generals, it feels a little natural.

"Ziyi, Sun has been looking forward to fighting with you for a long time!" Sun Ce suddenly sighed a little emotionally, and with the ancient ingot knife in his hand, he rushed to the opposite side and inserted the double halberd behind his back, and pulled out the iron spear on the wing ring of the horse, Tai Shi Ci arched his hand and said.

"Bo Fu's words are exactly what I want! On this day, I have been waiting for a long time! Tai Shici's eyes were broken, and he nodded a little complicated. With a gun in hand, he couldn't help but say more: "It's a pity that you can't be a minister in the same hall as Bo Fu." It's a pity, if Bo Fu can return to the imperial court......"

"Ziyi, don't say this little thing!" Sun Ce's gloomy face flashed, and he said with a hearty laugh: "The chaos in the world has been revealed, and it is the time for the eldest husband to make immortal achievements, how can he live under the people in peace and sit down and rise up as princes?" Sun is not talented, and he wants to get a piece of the pie if he says anything! Besides, doesn't Ziyi really understand, is it difficult for your lord Lu Bu and Xuzhou assassin Shi Qin Xu to be really loyal ministers of the imperial court? Scold! If Ziyi really thinks so, then what if Sun didn't say it, but Ziyi was fulfilled? ”

"This ......" Sun Ce's words made Tai Shi Ci silent. Tai Shi Ci is not a fool, it is not clear how Lu Bu has little contact with Tai Shi Ci, but the thoughts of his own general Qin Xu, Tai Shi Ci can always guess a few points. Of course, if it was clearly said that Qin Xu had a disobedient heart, Tai Shi Ci would not believe it, but under the influence of his ears and eyes, Qin someone's "impolite" words and casual attitude towards the current court were also deliberately avoided by Tai Shi Ci. At this moment, Sun Ce picked up the conversation, and Tai Shici's hand holding the iron spear involuntarily loosened slightly, but immediately, he held it tightly.

That's it! Death for a confidant! So much for! Tai Shi Ci still remembered that when he was rescuing Beihai that day, Tai Shi Ci was only a county official, but at that time, although Qin Xu was only a young man in Qingzhou, with a rank ratio of 600 stones, he was already the number one person in Lu Bu's army with his military exploits. At that time, Qin's eager attitude towards him, a little county official who was not in the stream at all, and his undisguised appreciation, also stopped Tai Shici, who had already given birth to leave, again and again.

And now, the Son of Heaven is trapped in Xuchang, the princes of the world are rising, and there are not many people who support the army and respect themselves, and the trend of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is irreversible. Tai Shici estimated that even if he had the heart to serve the country, he would have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, so it was better to give his life to Qin someone, who promoted himself from a county official to the deputy commander of a battalion and a general who commanded 5,000 elite soldiers in just one year. At least, it can make Taishi, who has been taught by his old mother for a long time and knows how important the grace is, feel at ease!

"Ziyi ......" If Sun Ce knew that his original intention was to provoke and make Tai Shici more confident, it is estimated that he would not say so. Seeing that Tai Shi Ci's mood seemed to have changed a little, Sun Ce's eyes swept over the shooting sound camp that had been damaged by no less than three percent, and glanced at Pan Zhang, but his tone was extremely sincere and wanted to say something to Tai Shi Ci.

"General Sun doesn't need to say more! The Tao is different, not the same! Today, you and I have fulfilled the appointment outside the city that day, and let's have a good fight! Tai Shi Ci's eyes interrupted Sun Ce's words more and more firmly, raised the spear in his hand, the tip of the spear pointed directly at Sun Ce, the resolute face of the beautiful beard was as heavy as water, and the killing intent in his eyes was strong!
