At dawn, Liu Qi led the army into Shexian County, and immediately appointed Zhang Xiu as the magistrate of Shexian County, responsible for Zhang Bang's Anmin, and ordered Zhang Tong and Liu Shi to select elite soldiers from Yixian County and Shexian County to expand the ranks of their own soldiers, and then ordered someone to push Tai Shici into the account.

But said that after Tai Shici saw Liu Qi, he didn't bow down, glanced at Liu Qi coldly, and then closed his eyes and said nothing.

Liu Qi didn't think it was angry, and hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "This will be an order for you to invite General Ziyi over, how dare you snub your guests so much?" Why don't you apologize quickly? ”

Seeing that the two personal soldiers who pushed Tai Shi Ci up hurriedly made a sound and apologized to Tai Shi Ci.

Tai Shi Ci sneered: "Liu Qi, you don't have to be so hypocritical, I won't be fooled by you, if you want to kill, you can kill, listen to and respect, no matter how you treat each other today, my Tai Shi Ci will never be subservient to you." ”

And Xu Shu on the side said with a smile: "Hehe, my lord, the last general has long heard that Taishi Ziyi is the hero of the world, not only loyalty, but also heavy promise, but when I see it today, the last general really dare not agree, it seems that the people of the time are really exaggerated, like Tai Shici and other stupid generations, there are even people who say that he is loyal, it is really ridiculous, talking to this person, it is really a waste of feelings, according to the words of the last general, it is better to drag him out and behead him directly, and fulfill his so-called loyalty." ”

As soon as Xu Shu's words fell, he heard Tai Shici shouting: "Xu Yuanzhi, what do you mean?" Isn't it true that I am too generous to die because of Shi Ci? A sour Confucian like you, how can you know a loyal hero like me? ”

Xu Shu sneered: "Loyalty? Hero? Tai Shici, let me ask you, whose subordinate general were you at the beginning? Your parents are Sun Ce's ministers? Hehe, when you were entrusted by Liu Zhengli, the assassin of Yangzhou, to lead your troops to meet Sun Ce, Liu Yangzhou was defeated and retreated to Yuzhang, and died of grief, but you took refuge in the enemy, and you can be regarded as a loyal person? Your parents are all subjects of the Han Dynasty, but you serve the Han thief, can you be loyal? ”

But he saw Tai Shici say loudly: "Who said that my lord is a thief? He is the imperial court's canonized Lujiang Taishou, General Anton, and Wu Hou, and my allegiance to my lord is not my allegiance to the imperial court? ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Qi on the side sneered: "Who in the world doesn't know?" Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, secretly hid the jade seal of the country, and he was originally a thief, but fortunately he was intercepted by my father, otherwise, once he returned to Changsha, wouldn't he want to be the emperor in the south? My father remembered that Sun Ce was a young son and spared his life, but he didn't expect this person to repent, but instead dedicated the jade seal to the traitor Yuan Shu, which resulted in Yuan Shu being called the emperor and causing chaos in the world. ”

"This ......." Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but stop when he heard this, Liu Qi's words were high-sounding, although everyone knew that the Han family had existed in name only, but at least on the surface, they all admitted that they were Han courtiers, so it was actually irrefutable, unless they directly announced those "rebellious" words.

Liu Qi saw that Tai Shici was silent, and continued: "As a minister of Liu Yangzhou, you succumb to the thief, because you are disloyal; The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it, now you don't spare your life, just for your own fame, but let the old mother at home have no one to support, it is unfilial; As a citizen of the Han Dynasty, you see the chaos in the world, not to mention that you are promising, and you use the sword in your hand to calm the chaos for the people of the world, and protect the society and the peace, but you are bent on death, which is unkind; You have wives and children, but you can't bear to leave them, let them suffer from loneliness and widowhood, and suffer all the sorrows of the world, is it for injustice, like you who are unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, and have the face to say what kind of hero is here? If the whole world is full of heroes like you, it is better to die all of them, so as not to shame the ancestors and future generations. ”

Liu Qi's words were fierce and righteous, so that Tai Shici couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing it, especially when he thought of his parents, wife and children, his eyes were full of tears and heartache.

He has been filial to his mother all his life, but Rong Ma has never been filial piety in front of his mother's knees all his life, and now he can hear Liu Qi say that he doesn't cherish his own words, where can he bear it? So he fell on the ground and wept, kowtowed in the direction of his mother, and said, "The child is not filial, which makes the mother worry about her son again and again. ”

Seeing this, Xu Shu on the side knew that this time Tai Shi Ci's heart for death had been shaken, and there should be a drama about the surrender, so he secretly gave Liu Qi a thumbs up, and thought silently: "My lord's words just now not only negated Tai Shi Ci in general righteousness, but also emotionally blamed each other, it is really amazing, alas, in fact, think about it, Tai Shi Ci and I are the same way, we all have old mothers to support, wives and children to take care of, and we all need to contribute to the country's social welfare, but luckier than him, I met a master, At least it won't be like he suffered a life-and-death crisis twice, and almost killed his mother who lost his support. ”

Liu Qi saw Tai Shi Ci crying bitterly, but he didn't stop it, and when he finished venting, he said slowly: "When my husband is born, he should bring a three-foot sword to ascend to the rank of the Son of Heaven." If you don't follow your will now, why should you die? Taishi Ziyi, I read that you are a generation of generals, I can't bear to bury it, I want to use you to show your talents, help the world, protect the country and the people, create immortal achievements, and also fight for a glorious ancestor, seal the wife and son, and mark the history, I don't know if you are willing? ”

A trace of pain flashed on Tai Shici's face, and then he fell to the ground and said respectfully: "Thanks to the Lord for not giving up, I am willing to donate this body and let the Lord send it, but the last general has something to ask the general, after all, the late lord Sun Bofu and the last general have the grace of life, so the last general asks the adult, the life of the last grandson Bofu, and does not want to be the enemy of him, I don't know if the adult can agree?" ”

Liu Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately helped Tai Shici up, laughed and said: "Ziyi is a loyal and righteous person, so he asks for this, why is Ben Jiang unwilling to agree?" However, Sun Bofu is indeed a generation of heroes, and there are already many of his old generals who have made such requests, such as Yu Zhongxiang, Lu Ziming, Chen Zilie, and now there are more you Taishi Ziyi. ”

After a pause, Liu Qi said: "Tai Shici, I will make you a loyal lieutenant, and I will order you to still be in charge of the people of the headquarters, of course, those who were transferred by me as the Chinese army will not be returned, and I will make up for you from other places, so that you can lead an army of 10,000 to Lujiang to face Zhang Liao, hehe, I don't know if Ziyi can have the confidence to face the first tiger general under Lu Bu's former account?" ”

When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he immediately exuded a strong battle intent all over his body, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely capture Zhang Liao alive and present it to your lordship." ”

After finishing speaking, Tai Shici received the talisman, thanked Liu Qi again, and immediately went to the army to gather the old department, and then received grain and grass, and went to Lujiang in the starry night.

"Hehe, now Shexian has been obtained, and then we should implement the next strategy, I ordered Zhong Miao to lead an army of 10,000 to stick to Shexian, and Yixian Quanrou, Lingyang's Wenchang, Hulin Gang's Gan Xingba echo, jointly defend Zhou Yu of Anwu City, the rest of the people immediately go south with me, and Jiang Gongyan who went deep into Huiji to attack Huiji's Songyang, Taimo, Wusheng, Zhang'an and other counties, although these places are all inhabited by Shanyue people, but it is also an excellent source of soldiers, in the future, our army can levy a large number of Shanyue soldiers from here, And the development of agriculture and mulberry in these places will definitely be the foundation of our hegemony. ”

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he ordered someone to quickly send a letter to Jiang Wan to Hanxing County, and Jiang Wan made an appointment to send troops, and wrote a letter to Du Xian, who was in Changsha, ordering him to lead the army to secretly garrison Weipu Pass, and once he found that Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Lai Gong was attacking Jiang Wan, he immediately sent troops to attack this person.

After that, Liu Qi began to deploy and prepare for the dispatch of troops, and when the time came, the army immediately set off for conquest.

And at this time, Zhou Yu, who was holding on to Anwu, heard the news that Liu Qi had conquered She County and surrendered Tai Shi Ci, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and spurted out a mouthful of blood, because he knew that Tai Shi Ci was the first general under Sun Ce, and Sun Ce spent a lot of effort in order to subdue this person, but now due to his own decision-making mistakes, even this person has surrendered, and he doesn't know how to explain to the lord Sun Ce in the future.

In fact, how to explain is still a trivial matter, the key now is that due to the continuous loss of divisions and land, now the morale of the front line has begun to waver, even veterans like Huang Gai and Cheng Pu are a little lacking in confidence, and the confidence on their faces in the past has all disappeared, replaced by a faint sorrow.

This qiē made Zhou Yu feel anxious, and he really wanted to be put on a large army immediately, and felt that Shexian questioned Tai Shici, why did the lord treat him so politely, why did he shamelessly betray?

The pressure in his heart and the hard work for days made Zhou Yu's original iron-beaten body a little unbearable, so after hearing that Tai Shici had defected to the enemy, he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.

......Seeing Zhou Yu like this, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others were all shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the crumbling Zhou Yu.

It can be said that the current Zhou Yu is their backbone, if Zhou Yu has any accidents, I am afraid that they will not even have the confidence to keep the newly built Anwu City.

"Lord, I, Zhou Yu, am ashamed of my trust in the lord, these days have caused our army to be defeated one after another, and now not only Shexian has been lost, even Taishi Ziyi has surrendered, Danyang County has lost three counties in just one month, alas, it is the incompetence of the last general, which caused our army to lose its division and land, and the great cause of the lord has suffered such a blow, I Zhou Yu is really the sinner of the lord."

Zhou Yu burst into tears, knelt down at the place where Dongfang Wanling was, and said with a painful face.

"Why should the Metropolitan be so unconfident? Now although our army has been defeated one after another, but it has not hurt the fundamentals, as long as we defend Anwu, so that Liu Qi's army can not move forward, the great cause of the lord will be as safe as a rock, and after the lord recovers from his injury, we will work hard to regain the lost counties, and the great cause of the lord will be restored. Thinking that the lord only had more than 1,000 soldiers, he could still sweep Jiangdong, and now he has the land of three counties, what is he afraid of? ”

Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and the others saw Sun Ce like this, and they all hurriedly persuaded him.

In fact, what Zhou Yu wants now is this effect, no matter what method he has, he must re-arouse the confidence of the generals, and then he can hope to deal with Liu Qi's army to the end.
