Anseong, it's dark at night.

In the lobby of the military mansion, Sun Jianzheng sat stiffly with a blue face, listening to the scout's report.

"The day before yesterday, 10,000 stones of grain and grass transported from Shouchun to the front line were robbed by the Yellow Turban thief Kou Liu Pi, and our army's grain guards suffered 700 casualties and 40 grain ships......"

Tong!

Sun Jian struck the case with his fist, gritted his teeth in his mouth, and said hatefully: "Yellow turban thieves, these hateful yellow turban thieves again!" ”

Although there was no anger and hatred, Sun Jian was helpless, who let his army at this time concentrate on the front line of Ancheng, and he couldn't draw enough soldiers and horses to protect food, let alone exterminate the Runan Yellow Turban.

At this time, Sun Jian could only lose his teeth, swallow blood in his mouth, and once again ordered Shouchun to increase grain and grass.

Fortunately, Huainan is a rich land, although the grain and grass have been robbed repeatedly, but it can barely be supplied, so there will be no crisis of insufficient grain and grass.

"Report-" The pro-army rushed in, "My lord, the young general is back." ”

Sun Ben returns?

Sun Jian and all his subordinates were shocked, and when they heard that Sun Ben came back alive, their spirits were all lifted and the haze was swept away.

Before Sun Jian could go down the steps, the gray-faced Sun Ben had already entered the hall, and a sad "uncle" fell to the ground.

"Ben'er, you're still alive, hurry up." Sun Jian was overjoyed and helped his nephew up, so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

But when he saw Sun Ben's tragic appearance of broken ears, Sun Jian was angry again, scolded Mink Xiong for being cruel, and claimed to avenge Sun Ben.

"Major General, weren't you captured by Mink Xiong, how did you come back?" Zhang Zhao beside him was the first to come back to his senses, and the fox asked.

Only then did Sun Jian react and looked at Sun Ben with the same puzzled eyes.

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Sun Ben's eyes, but he immediately dispersed, gritted his teeth and said: "My nephew was captured by that kid, and he wanted to force his nephew to surrender, but my nephew would rather die than give in. ”

Sun Ben's bold words, hearing Sun Jian's enthusiasm, he couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and praised: "Okay, Ben'er, I'd rather die than give in, and I am worthy of being a descendant of my grandson!" ”

The generals such as Han Dang also cast admiring glances at Sun Ben.

"That Mink Xiong is known for his brutality and arrogance, is he really so easy to let the young general back?" Sun Jian didn't doubt it, but Zhang Zhao didn't believe it.

Sun Ben coughed dryly and said: "That kid is brutal, but he has a little knowledge, and he knows that he has few soldiers and doesn't dare to fight with us, so he forced Xiang'er to write a letter, wanting to persuade his uncle to withdraw from Yuzhou, in order to show goodwill to his uncle, he had to let me go." ”

As he spoke, Sun Ben took out the letter and presented it to Sun Jian.

"Xiang'er is still alive?"

Sun Jian was delighted at first, took the letter, and after reading it, his face was gloomy, and he sighed distractedly: "Xiang'er is a female generation after all, and she has lost the bloody bones of my Sun family, so she was afraid of that kid, and wrote to persuade me to quit Yuzhou, alas-"

Zhang Zhao took the letter, looked at it for a moment, but said: "Although Miss said that this letter was written by force, it is not unreasonable for Mink Xiong to analyze the interests and disadvantages of the enemy in this letter. At present, it is indeed difficult for our army to take Yuzhou, but in Xuzhou, Cao Cao is avenging his father and attacking Tao Qian. ”

Zhang Zhao's words made Sun Jian's originally disappointed expression suddenly shocked.

He re-read the letter, but said: "Although Zibu's words are reasonable, but at the moment I still have half of Runan, if because of that kid's letter, I will give up Runan, wouldn't it make the heroes of the world laugh at me and be afraid of that kid." ”

"This ......" Zhang Zhao was puzzled for a while.

At this time, a fierce light burst out of Sun Ben's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Uncle, my nephew has a clever plan, maybe he may turn defeat into victory and destroy that kid in one fell swoop, but I am afraid that this strategy will affect Sister Xiang'er." ”

"What's the plan, tell me quickly?" Sun Jian was in good spirits and couldn't wait to ask.

Sun Ben sneered: "That kid doesn't want us to withdraw our troops, then we will pretend to agree to him, pretend to withdraw the troops, and when he relaxes his vigilance, take the opportunity to attack the enemy camp at night, and we will definitely win a big victory." ”

Sun Jian's eyes gradually ignited with excitement, obviously moved by this strategy, but he was worried about his daughter's safety, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

"The plan of the young general is indeed a clever plan, if you can quickly defeat Diao Xiong and seize Yuzhou, the strength of the lord will increase greatly, and then take Xuzhou, it will be more certain." Zhang Zhao also turned to agree.

Sun Jian sighed: "Ben'er's plan is indeed a clever plan, but once I use this plan, I am afraid that I will annoy that kid and anger Xiang'er." ”

Seeing that Sun Jian cared about his daughter's safety, Zhang Zhao sneered and said slowly: "The lord wants to achieve a great cause, how can he be so timid, as the so-called people who are for the world do not care about their families, has the lord forgotten what Han Gaozu did?" ”

For the world, do not care about the family!

Hearing this, Sun Jian's body shook suddenly, as if he had suddenly figured out something.

Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for the world, Liu Bang's father was captured by Xiang Yu, set up an oil pot in front of the two armies, and threatened Liu Xiang to surrender, otherwise he would cook his father alive.

As a result, Liu Bang was not only forced, but said to Xiang Yu with a smile, you cooked my father, don't forget to share a piece of meat for me to eat.

His thoughts flew around, weighing the pros and cons, and in a blink of an eye, Sun Jian's eyes were full of hesitation, leaving only a cold resoluteness.

"Okay, it's up to Ben'er!" Sun resolutely made up his mind, but he was worried: "It's just that the mink male is very deceitful, we just promised him to withdraw the troops, I'm afraid we can't hide it from his ears and eyes, so that he can really relax his vigilance." ”

The voice fell, and Zhang Zhao said with a sly smile: "Don't worry, the lord has thought of a plan, which can definitely make that mink Xiong believe it to be true." ”

……

To the west of Anseong, the mink army camp.

Just two days after Sun Ben left, Diao Xiong received a handwritten reply from Sun Jian, claiming that he accepted Diao Xiong's proposal and would gradually withdraw from Runan within half a month.

Sun Jian also made a condition, that is, he and Mink Xiong should take Runan as the boundary, and they must not invade Huainan in the east, and Sun Shangxiang must be returned.

Diao Xiong immediately replied that as long as Sun Jian stepped back as promised, Sun Shangxiang would definitely return it.

At this time, Diao Xiong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Jian's retreat from the army means that he can smoothly take over Runan and even Yuzhou, and with this state, his strength will have a qualitative leap, and he no longer has to rely on Nanyang for hard support.

However, Diao Xiong did not fully believe in Sun Jian's promise, and prevented Sun Jian from relaxing his vigilance in the name of withdrawing troops, so as to take the opportunity to make a trick.

At that moment, Diao Xiong asked Xu Rong to send scouts to closely monitor the movements of Sun Jiajun in Ancheng to see if Sun Jian really withdrew his troops.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

"According to the report of my scouts, in the past few days, Sun Jian has indeed withdrawn nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses from Ancheng one after another, and these soldiers and horses have not gone and returned, all of them have taken advantage of the ship to go east along the Rushui River, all the way to Shouchun direction."

Hearing Xu Rong's report, Diao Xiong really breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It seems that this time, Sun Jian finally kept his promise, and if he really started to withdraw his troops, the orders were passed on, the battalions were lifted from the highest alert, and the tense spirit of the soldiers should also be eased." ”

Mink Xiong's spirit relaxed, Xu Rong and other generals also breathed a sigh of relief, each talking and laughing, and dispersed.

Just as Mink Xiong was about to order to prepare snacks and food and drink a few drinks, his soldiers hurriedly entered and said, "General, there is a young scribe outside the camp who wants to see the general, claiming to have come to save the general's life." ”
