Although the thieves were surrounded, Sun Cejun did not have the slightest panic, the cavalry under the leadership of Sun Ce, invincible, desperately killed the Chinese army, and the infantry under the leadership of Sun Ben, divided into several units, respectively in different directions.

For a while, Sun Cejun was like a huge stone that fell into the calm lake, causing ripples across the lake. Sun Cejun's soldiers were all brave and good at fighting, waving the weapons in their hands, helping each other, and killing the thieves crying for their fathers and mothers.

In the encirclement of thieves and soldiers, Sun Cejun was like a giant warship, riding the wind and waves, unscrupulous.

Although the number of thieves is large, in terms of combat effectiveness, they are simply vulnerable in front of the elite Sun Cejun.

Sun Ce was dancing with spears, and the thieves within a foot around him did not dare to step forward, and retreated one after another. Brave and invincible, he was like a sharp knife, directly killing Zu Lang in the Chinese army, and Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai followed closely behind him, turning each other into horns.

Zu Lang never expected Sun Ce to be so powerful, and he was taken aback, so he immediately sent the cavalry around him to intercept Sun Ce's fight.

Who knows, without waiting for the cavalry behind him to go, Sun Ce had already ridden a war horse to kill him, only a few meters away from him.

"Just one Sun Ce, all scared you like this?" Zu Lang shook his spirits, clenched an iron spear in his hand, and rode out of his horse, leading the cavalry behind him to meet Sun Ce.

Sun Ce saw Zu Lang rushing towards him with an evil face, a smile appeared on his lips, and he kept waving his spear and killed Zu Lang.

In a moment. The thieves scattered. Zulang with cavalry. rushed to Sun Ce like a wind, and the two horses intersected, and the spear stabbed.

Sun Ce turned around to avoid Zu Lang's spear, and swung the spear in his hand violently, sweeping directly at Zu Lang's chest.

With a "bang", Zu Lang's chest was slammed, and he suddenly felt a dull feeling on his chest, followed by the surging of qi and blood in his body. All the internal organs have been turned upside down.

With a "wow", Zu Lang spat out a mouthful of blood, the pain in his chest was unbearable, and his face showed an extremely ugly expression.

At this moment, Sun Ce stretched out his long arm and directly grabbed Zu Lang from the horse, clamped it under his armpit, held a gun in one hand, and stabbed to death the cavalry who came to rescue Zu Lang, and shouted: "Zu Lang has been captured by me." If you don't want to die, retreat quickly! ”

A loud shout. The sound was like rolling thunder, and it drank back the cavalry brought by Zu Lang.

Sun Ce put Zu Lang on the back of the horse and asked, "With your martial arts, you dare to shout in front of me?" Now that you have been captured by me, what else do you have to say? ”

Zu Lang said with a frightened face: "The little one should be damned, he offended General Sun Huwei." If General Sun can spare me from dying, I will look forward to General Sun's horse from now on, be a cow and a horse, and have no complaints! ”

When Sun Ce heard this, a trace of hope flashed in his eyes, and he quickly glanced at the thieves around him, although his combat effectiveness was not very good, but fortunately, there were many people, if he could incorporate them for his own use, it would be easy to defeat the combined forces of Liu Xuan and Zhang Yan.

After thinking about it for a while, he said to Zu Lang: "I will kill you first, let them be leaderless, and then force them to surrender, weishenme want to obey you?" ”

Zu Lang hurriedly said: "General Sun doesn't know, these people only obey my orders, if General Sun kills me, although they will be leaderless, but they will lose their restraints, and when the time comes, how many people will be able to join General Sun?" Besides, if they see that I have been killed, they will surely avenge me, and they will attack everywhere at that time, and General Sun, although he is quite powerful, can only cope with it...... What I said is true, and I hope General Sun will think twice. As long as General Sun spares my life, I will lead the people to join General Sun. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Ce felt that what Zu Lang said also made some sense, so he said: "Since you have the heart to surrender to me, if I turn you away, there will be some things that I can't say, please give an order to withdraw the army immediately, otherwise, your life will not be guaranteed!" ”

Zu Lang hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army, so that all the thieves gathered in one place, keeping a distance from Sun Ce's army.

After the order was issued, the thieves withdrew from the encirclement one after another, and all gathered on the left side, and they were all very nervous when they saw Zu Lang being captured by Sun Cesheng.

Sun Ce also gathered his soldiers and horses, then turned over and jumped off the horse, firmly grasped Zu Lang with one hand, looked at the thieves standing opposite, and immediately said to Zu Lang: "Since you want to surrender to me, then from now on, these thieves are my subordinates, you are their commander, and they are only willing to obey your orders alone, so you will continue to lead them." ”

"Thank you General Sun for your kindness, I will definitely follow the work of dogs and horses." Zu Lang said hurriedly.

Sun Ce let go of Zu Lang and said to Zu Lang: "By the way, in addition to you, isn't Jiao already here?" Do you have a way to persuade Jiao to come and submit to me? ”

Zu Lang said: "Jiao and I are like brothers, since I am willing to be driven by General Sun, Jiao will definitely be willing to serve General Sun." As long as I personally persuade Jiao Ji, he will come with me to submit to General Sun. ”

"Okay, if you can really convince Jiao to surrender, when I break through Liu Xuan and capture the entire Jiangdong, let the two of you be the Taishou."

"Thank you, General Sun, for your kindness. Jiao has led the army after me, if General Mengsun does not give up, I will go to Jiao now and let Jiao have come with me to surrender to General Sun. ”

Sun Strategy said threateningly: "Okay! I'll be waiting for you here, and you'll be back as soon as possible. Remember, since I can catch you once, I can catch you two or three times, in case I know what tricks you are playing, hum, don't blame me for being unkind to you, next time I catch you, there will be only a dead end! ”

Zu Lang said: "General Sun rest assured, how dare Zu Lang play tricks with General Sun?" ”

"It's good to know, you go now, go and come back quickly!"

"Whoa!"

So, Zu Lang took the soldiers and horses, retreated ten miles, and let the soldiers wait in place, while he himself took his personal entourage and went to find Jiao Ji.

Jiao had led a large army, followed by Zu Lang, and was moving forward, when he suddenly saw Zu Lang running over, Jiao had stepped forward and asked, "How are things going?" ”

Zu Lang said: "Everything is going well. However, Sun Ce is more powerful than we imagined, and he is no worse than Tai Shi Ci at all. Moreover, Sun Ce also promised us that if we surrender to him, when he captures Jiangdong, let us be the Taishou. Now, I'm a little hesitant, should I listen to Zhang Yan or Sun Ce? ”

Jiao has said: "Zhang Yan is the imperial court of the general Anton, Xuzhou Mu, Liuhou, recently repelled Yuan Shao's army, captured Qingzhou, but also defeated Cao Cao, occupied Yanzhou, his strength can not be underestimated, if we can be used by Zhang Yan, the future is naturally promising." Looking at Sun Ce again, he is just a lieutenant under Yuan Shu's account, and he is controlled by others everywhere, even if he captures Jiangdong, it is unknown whether he can make us the Taishou. Can't you see which is more important? ”

Zu Lang thought for a moment, and Chong Jiao said with a smile: "You still analyze it thoroughly, then we will obey Zhang Yan's words, go to surrender, and wait for Zhang Yan's army to arrive, and we will come back to join forces and defeat Sun Ce completely!" ”

Jiao has said: "Then I will go with you to pretend to surrender to Sun Ce and wait for the opportunity!" ”

The two of them had agreed and went together to serve Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce heard the news, he was naturally overjoyed, Zu Lang and Jiao had not been valued by him, what he valued was the more than 20,000 thieves under Zu Lang and Jiao Ji, if these thieves could be incorporated and trained, they would be able to become his soldiers.

Zu Lang and Jiao had come to vote, and Sun Ce accepted their surrender very sincerely, and returned to Danyang with them.

Subsequently, Sun Ce wrote a letter and sent someone to Zhou Yu, asking Zhou Yu to make arrangements in Danyang City.

After Zhou Yu received Sun Ce's letter, he learned that Sun Ce had subdued Zu Lang and Jiao Ji and incorporated them, and he was overjoyed at first, but then a trace of worry flashed in his mind, and after some thought, he wrote a reply letter to Sun Ce and asked people to take it to Sun Ce.

After Sun Ce received Zhou Yu's letter, he opened it and looked at it. Zhou Yu in the letter to the effect that Zu Lang and Jiao have been born thieves, capricious, and mercenary, since they can follow Sun Ce today, they may follow others tomorrow, and the bad habits of thieves and soldiers are extremely difficult to change, so it is not suitable to be co-opted, and it is strongly recommended to kill Zu Lang and Jiao Ji, and then seize his soldiers and horses.

After Sun Ce read it, although he was also a little worried about what Zhou Yu mentioned in his letter, he was afraid that it was a bit far-fetched to let him kill his commander and seize his army.

Sun Ce knew very well that these thieves only obeyed the orders of Zu Lang and Jiao Ji, and he had not yet established his prestige among these thieves, if he killed Zu Lang and Jiao Ji, these thieves would not be able to restrain them, and it was very likely that they would cause chaos everywhere. Even if he was able to defeat them, the command was exhausted.

So, Sun Ce did not listen to Zhou Yu's words, but after arriving in Danyang City, he left Zu Lang and Jiao Ji's thief army outside the city, one at the east gate and the other at the west gate, and set up two camps, which were horns with Danyang City.

After Zhou Yu learned of Sun Ce's arrangement, he went to persuade Sun Ce to kill Zu Lang and Jiao Ji first, and then seize Zu Lang and Jiao Ji's army.

Sun Ce expressed his worries, and after Zhou Yu heard it, he said: "After Zu Lang and Jiao are dead, these thieves will become a plate of scattered sand, and when the time comes, they will be able to divide their troops and attack in several ways, and they will definitely be able to win a big victory, and they will also allow the lord to gain prestige." But Zu Lang and Jiao are no longer dead, these thieves will never become the lord, and there will be great variables. ”

"Now that our army is employing people, if we kill Zu Lang and Jiao Ji, who will dare to come to me? It's better to do this, when the coalition forces of Liu Miao and Zhang Yan are defeated, it's not too late to kill Zu Lang and Jiao! Sun Ce said.

Seeing that Sun Ce didn't listen to his opinion, Zhou Yu sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "Since this is the case, then please don't let Zu Lang and Jiao have entered the city, only in this way will Danyang City be foolproof." ”

"Okay, I promise you!" (To be continued......)
