But said that Zhou Yu asked Sun Ce to have a good rest, led the army to the Spring Valley, and sent people to Lingyang to inquire about the news, sure enough, I heard that Chaisang and Peng Ze were all lost, and the young general Lu Meng was captured in the battle of Chaisang, and surrendered to Liu Qi, fortunately, the general Han Dang escaped, and in the battle of Peng Ze, Sun Ce's brother Sun Fu was killed, tens of thousands of soldiers were scattered, and only Sun Ce's brother Sun Ben led less than 100 people to flee to Shexian.

In addition, Sun Ce's army even Poyang, Linru, and Nancheng counties were also recovered by Liu Qi's army, and now the entire Yuzhang County has been obtained by Liu Qi except for some places where the thieves are still entrenched.

What's even worse is that the southwestern part of Huiji County has been surrounded by Liu Qi's army from both sides of Yuzhang and Nanhai counties, and Jiang Wan, the Taishou of Nanhai, also took the opportunity to occupy Jian'an, Hanxing, and Nanping counties, these three counties were in the first year of Jian'an, by Sun Ce, who had just pacified Huiji County

After nearly three years of hard governance, the local Shanyue people were finally pacified, making this place a little large-scale, and it was actually picked by Liu Qi's people in this way The fruits of victory were really unwilling.

Zhou Yu did not tell Sun Ce these news, he knew that Sun Ce was recuperating from his injuries, and the military doctor had already said that it was better to be quiet and not to move than to recuperate, and it was most taboo to be angry, if Sun Ce knew that the army had suffered such a defeat, it was estimated that he would immediately be so angry that the arrow wound would recur.

However, Zhou Yu was not idle, and immediately asked Zhang Zhao to order Han Dang to be the chief of Lingyang in the name of Sun Ce, and ordered the county magistrate Tai Shici, the governor of Lingyang, Han Dang, and the newly built Songyang Changhe Qi to all have deep ditches and high bases, and insisted on not fighting, and asked Cheng Pu, Zhou Tai, Zhu Zhi, and Huang Gai generals to work hard to train their troops, build warships and equipment, and actively prepare for war, and then lead the army to recover Peng Ze after the main Gongsun Ce is injured.

And Liu Qi can be said to have won a complete victory this time, not only wounding Sun Ce, but also defeating more than 10,000 of his people, including 5,000 enemies killed and 8,000 soldiers recruited, these 8,000 are the world's first-class Danyang elite soldiers!

Liu Qi ordered Liu Shi to select some calm and reliable people from these 8,000 elite soldiers, and lured them with official positions such as military Sima and Du Lieutenant, and at the same time gave favors and rewarded them from time to time, and finally completely took them for his own use, of which 3,000 people were included in the Chinese army, and the remaining 5,000 people were assigned to Gan Ning, Xu Shu, Yu Ban, Chen Zhen, Liao Li and others, and some who were familiar with the equipment system were handed over to Huang Yueying to take charge.

Of course, Liu Qi and Liu Qi completely subdued these 8,000 Danyang soldiers after more than a month, and now these elite soldiers have just returned to obedience, Liu Qi is still wary of them, so he scattered them everywhere to pacify.

At the same time, Liu Qi also surrendered Chen Wu, a young general who swore to protect Sun Ce's breakthrough, relatively smoothly.

Chen Wu was seven feet seven inches tall and dignified, and after being brought into the barracks, he begged for death, Liu Qi saw that persuasion was useless, so he ordered Chen Wu to be beheaded, but was dissuaded by Liu Ye, and promised to persuade Chen Wu to surrender.

At the beginning, Chen Wu said that he would not surrender anything, and later Liu Ye took himself as an example to show that Liu Qi knew people well, was magnanimous, was a corporal of courtesy, and had great ambitions, and persuaded Chen Wu: "You are still young, and you should be a pity for your life, but now you are just a small Sima, and Sun Ce is private, and has not been officially appointed by the imperial court, so why should you give up your life for this purpose?" What's more, your hometown is in Lujiang, so why lure thieves into the house and bring disaster to the people? ”

Next, Liu Qi also struck while the iron was hot, promising that as long as Chen Wu surrendered, he would be able to seal his wife and son in the future, and his name would go down in history.

Chen Wu was silent for a long time before agreeing to surrender.

Liu Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and knew that this person was a general, so he worshiped him as a lieutenant and put him in charge of the Lujiang people.

At this moment, a pro-soldier suddenly reported that Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, had sent an envoy to ask for a meeting, and Liu Qi ordered him to come in.

The messenger bowed to Liu Qi and respectfully handed him an invitation.

Liu Qi opened a look, it turned out that Liu Xun invited him to the mansion for a banquet, thanking him for helping him repel the strong enemy Sun Ce and saving the people of Lujiang County.

Liu Qi smiled and said to the envoy: "Please tell Lord Sù Taishou, thank him for his kindness, this official will definitely go on time." ”

The envoy hurriedly thanked him, and said with a smile: "Our Lord Taishou said, please take all the adults of the Assassin Mansion to go together, everyone has done their best to protect my Lujiang, and they should be thanked together." ”

Seeing that Liu Qi smiled and agreed, the messenger respectfully bid farewell to Liu Qi and went back to reply to Liu Xun.

When Liu Xun heard the news of Liu Qi's promise, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately instructed Liu Lihong, the chief historian: "You immediately ambush three hundred sword and axe men in the tent, and when the banquet begins, listen to me throw the cup, and all the warriors immediately rush up and chop Liu Qi and all the civil and military under his command into meat sauce." ”

"No." Liu Lihong respectfully agreed, and immediately went to find a few henchmen and asked them to immediately start preparing for this matter.

But unexpectedly, one of them is called Zhang Tong is Er Qiao's cousin, they heard that Liu Qi saved a cousin's life, they were very grateful, and heard their uncle Qiao Yu say that the two cousins seemed to have a mind about Liu Qi, so they left the Taishou Mansion under the pretext of going home to change clothes, and came to Er Qiao's house near the east gate of the city, and told them the news that Liu Xun was going to assassinate Liu Qi.

Liu Qi was in the camp at that time to discuss the banquet with Xu Shu, Pang Tong and Liu Ye.

In fact, as early as after the envoy left, Liu Qi knew that Liu Xun must have bad intentions this time, and Liu Ye also advised Liu Qi not to attend the dinner party based on his usual understanding of Liu Xun.

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Since the official has already promised Liu Xun, how can he not go again?" Wouldn't that be a disappointment to the public? In the future, how should I Liu Qi look in the eyes of everyone? Therefore, the official must go to this dinner, but naturally he must be prepared, all the wine he toasts will be drunk after the poison test, and the food will not eat his, and the official will hide the sword with you, lined with soft armor, presumably Liu Xun is helpless against me, right? ”

Liu Qi laughed and secretly thought: "If there is really danger, I have no choice but to learn from Guan Gong to go to the meeting with a single knife, control Liu Xun, and make the thieves dare not move." ”

"But the adults went this time, it was a risk, because the last general always felt that this Liu Xun was putting on a banquet for the adults." Pang Tong said with some concern.

"Since he wants to hold a banquet, the last general will be the adult's Fan Xu, but it's a pity that we can't find Uncle Xiang." Gan Ning sighed and said slowly.

Xu Shu also looked worried, and secretly thought: "I just don't know what kind of trick this sixty is doing?" Although we have taken precautions, if Liu Xun really sends a dead soldier to intercept and kill the lord regardless of his face, this matter will be dangerous. ”

At this moment, Liu Shiyu suddenly reported: "My lord, the two women you saved at the East City Gate last time asked to see you, saying that you wanted to return the sword to your lordship, and asked the general to take it back personally." ”

"Oh? It turned out to be the two of them. Liu Qi's eyes didn't appear with two delicate faces, and he said with a smile: "Please let them come in." ”

"No." Liu Shi agreed, and slowly retreated.

After a while, I saw Liu Shi nervously leading the two peerless beauties to Liu Qi's tent.

"The people's girl Qiao Ying (Qiao Wan) has seen adults." After the two girls saw Liu Qi, they forcibly suppressed the excitement in their hearts and slowly saluted.

"The two girls are exempt. Hehe, two girls, didn't the official say it was okay at the beginning? This sword should be given to the girl, so why do you have to send it again? Liu Qi also asked slowly with a smile on his face.

At this time, everyone saw that Liu Qi was surprisingly kind to these two women, glanced at each other, and all made excuses to sneak out of the account, and continued to discuss how to deal with Liu Xun's conspiracy.

And Liu Qi was alone with the two peerless beauties in the tent, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became charming.

Liu Qi took the saber lightly, but found that a very good-looking sword spike fell on the sword, the scabbard and the sword body were wiped clean, and even the scabbard was specially made into a silk sleeve.

Liu Qi's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "It was originally a killing weapon, but after the hands of the two girls, it turned into a beautiful handicraft, so that the official was reluctant to use it anymore." ”

But seeing Xiao Qiao's smile like a flower, he said happily: "As long as the adults like it, it's done, and the folk girl is afraid that it will be self-defeating." It took the two of us a whole day to get it done. ”

"Where, where? The two girls are ingenious, and the official is very appreciative, thank you for the kindness of the two girls, and the official will take good care of this sword in the future. ”

"Hehe, adults don't have to be called girls, it's better to call my sister Ying'er directly, and call the people's daughter Wan'er, so that our sisters can also feel the people's side of adults." Xiao Qiao glanced at Liu Qi a little shyly and said softly.

"In that case, the official is not welcome, Miss Ying'er, Miss Wan'er, the official originally wanted to keep you for a while, but now the official has to wait until another day, because the official still has something to do in the evening." Liu Qi looked at the two beauties and said helplessly.

"Hehe, is it for Mrs. Liu's banquet?" Xiao Qiao looked at her sister opposite each other, and then asked with a smile.

"Huh? The girl also knows? Oh, I almost forgot, Ling Zun is a local celebrity, and he must also participate in this banquet, and it is normal to know about it. Miss Wan'er is right, this time the official is indeed because of this matter. Liu Qi did not hide it and admitted it calmly.

"Don't hide it from your lordship, our sisters came to the adult's camp, and it is precisely for this matter, my lord, please don't attend the banquet, Liu Xun wants to be unfavorable to the adult, and conspires to assassinate the adult." Da Qiao was no longer silent at this time, and suddenly spoke.
