Wuhu County, special status, beautiful scenery, here west of the Yangtze River, east of Taihu Lake, north of Moling County, south is Danyang County Wanling, extending in all directions, is an important city of Danyang.

In the early morning of the county seat, the people of Wuhu opened their doors and walked on the streets, when they saw that the usual Danyang soldiers in the streets and alleys had become a patrol team of Jiangdong soldiers, and suddenly all the people of Wuhu understood that Zhang Ying must have been defeated and Wuhu had changed hands.

The county office, above the lobby, Sun Ce took off his armor, there was an irrepressible pride in his expression, and he was full of spirit, and he sat on it with a golden sword.

After taking Wuhu, Wanling, the seat of Danyang, was exposed in front of him and could attack at any time.

"General, Zhou Gongzi's secret letter!" At this time, Zhou Yu also received the news that Sun Ce had taken Wuhu and gave him a secret letter.

"Gong Jin's letter came so fast!"

Sun Ce opened the letter, looked at it carefully, his expression changed slightly, he was overjoyed, his eyes widened, he looked at Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Sun He, and Lu Fan around him, and said: "Hahaha, great news, Fan Neng and Zu Lang are not in harmony, the alliance between the two is not only not negotiated, Fan Neng also let Zu Lang snipe and was injured, and then he was angry, sent 15,000 troops, directly attacked Jing County, and now in Wanling, he only has 15,000 soldiers and horses left, and most of them are Zhou Xin's old department, which has made Gong Jin rebel, He told us to send troops immediately and take the opportunity to capture Wanling! ”

"What?"

"That's great!"

The four of them were taken aback and immediately overjoyed.

"Without further ado, a quick victory, Jiang Qin, your Jiangdong Navy has suffered few casualties in this battle, you don't need to rest, go ahead immediately!" Sun Ce was silent for a moment and said loudly.

"No!" Jiang Qin nodded.

"Bohai, you go and prepare immediately, in this big battle, the wounded soldiers will stay, and the other soldiers and horses, within three days, I will go south with a large army!" Sun Ce said firmly, as long as Wanling is taken, then the entire Danyang County will basically fall into the hands of the Jiangdong Army.

"No! Sun He nodded and hurriedly walked down.

"Ziheng, you bring Tai Shici up for me!" Sun Ce thought about it, and then remembered that he still had a problem that he hadn't solved.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Fan walked up with a dozen soldiers and Tai Shici, who was bound with heavy chains.

Sun Ce sighed, but with a look of regret in his eyes, he looked down at the young man in the prison in chains under the hall.

"Tai Shici, so far, it's not that you don't do your best, it's that Zhang Ying doesn't know how to use you, abandon you and don't care, why don't you want to surrender my Jiangdong Army!"

For this super general who can defeat himself, Sun Ce even respected, hoping to take it for his own use, unwilling to kill, and said bitterly: "A good man should rely on the gun in his hand, the establishment is not a meritorious service, the glory of the ancestors, you have a great ability, you have never left a name, my Jiangdong Army is willing to give you this opportunity, are you willing to end the rest of your life?" ”

"Sun Gongzi, you know what you mean, but you are stubborn, this is a lot of words, Taishi Ci's good head is here, and the son can take it casually!" Tai Shici shook his head, with a hard and unyielding look on his face.

"It's really stubborn, are you because of Liu Xuan?"

Sun Ce squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Liu Xuan is just a hypocrisy, the three brothers of the Zhou family pushed him to the position of Yangzhou assassin, he can be imprisoned with his backhand, besides, it is you, if he values you, it is not Zhang Ying and other people who will dominate Wuhu today, but you, with your ability, how can a certain family take Wuhu lightly." ”

"Liu Yuanjun naturally has Liu Yuanjun's considerations, as long as he doesn't live up to me one day, how can I bear him!" Tai Shi Ci and Liu Miao came from the same township, Liu Miao used to be kind to him when he was young, so after Liu Miao was stationed in Jiujiang, with just one letter, he traveled thousands of miles and galloped directly from Qingzhou to work for Liu Xiang.

"Taishi Ziyi, you are really loyal, I don't know whether to be happy or sigh, this time, how to deal with you with a headache, kill you, it's a pity, keep you, you are as strong as you, it will make me worry day and night."

Sun Ce stared at Tai Shici, there was appreciation in his eyes, but also a touch of regret, and finally a trace of killing intent appeared.

Tai Shi Ci is not an ordinary person, he is skilled in arches and horses, his martial arts are too powerful, and he is familiar with the art of war, he is a great general, if he can't recover it, even if Sun Ce regrets it in his heart and is unwilling to kill him, he will not keep him to continue to serve Liu Xuan, after all, Liu Xuan is the enemy of the Jiangdong Army.

"Childe is loved, Tai Shici has nothing to report, and he is willing to die!" Tai Shici looked at Sun Ce, knowing that Sun Ce did respect him, and his heart was moved.

"Forget it, I really can't kill you, you can go!"

Sun Ce stared at Tai Shi Ci, was silent for a long time, a bright light crossed his head, and came up with a way, he gritted his teeth, feeling that although it was risky, it was still worth a try in order to recover a fierce general like Tai Shi Ci.

"Ziheng, untie him, return his horses and weapons to him, and let him go!"

"General, no!" Lu Fan was startled, hurriedly walked up, and persuaded, Zhou Tai next to him did not agree to let Tai Shici, a fierce general, go, walked up, and said loudly: "General, this fang is too fierce, don't let it go rashly." ”

"This matter, so-and-so has already decided, do it!" Sun Ce is now leading tens of thousands of troops and has won two big victories, and he has developed a trace of the bearing of a superior person.

"No!" Lu Fan felt Sun Ce's coercion, his face was shocked, and he had to obey the order, walked over, and went to untie Tai Shici's chains.

"Sun Gongzi, are you really willing to let me go?" Tai Shi Ci was a little incredulous, looked at Sun Ce, was very surprised, and asked, "Are there no conditions?" ”

"Of course not, the conditions are still there!"

Sun Ce shook his head, the corners of his mouth outlined a funny smile, and said: "Good talents are rare, it's a pity to kill them, I just want to give you a chance, I'll make a bet with you!" ”

"Bet on what?" Taishi's heart sank and asked.

"Since you think Liu Miao is worthy of your allegiance for a lifetime, then let's bet on Liu Xuan's trust in you, how about it?"

"How do you want to bet?" Tai Shi Ci was stunned.

"You walk out of me intact, just see if Liu Miao can still trust you, if he still trusts you so much, without the slightest doubt, then I lose, you earn back a life, he will see you on the battlefield one day, you and I have a destiny in life and death, but if Liu Miao doesn't believe in you and wants to kill you, then it means that I win, from now on, you join my Jiangdong Army and serve my father and the general!"

Sun Ce's demeanor was leisurely and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll pick up a life, I'll bet, but you're going to lose!" Tai Shi Ci sneered and said confidently.

"Winning or losing, you and I are unknown, you can go now!" Sun Ce smiled slightly.

Tai Shi Ci took a deep breath, looked around, and knew that Sun Ce really wanted to let himself go, picked up his own troops next to him, strode out of the county office, climbed on his horse, and galloped away.

"General, are you really so confident that Liu Miao will kill Tai Shici?" Lu Fan was slightly puzzled and asked.

"The second brother once said that Liu Miao's heart is not so broad, Tai Shici walked out of me safely, it is impossible for Liu Mi not to doubt it." Sun Ce squinted his eyes, his eyes crossed with a glint, and he said with a sneer.

"Liu Miao is a cautious person, even if he is suspicious, he will not kill Tai Shi Ci, after all, Tai Shi Ci's martial arts are outstanding, and he is considered a great general, even if Liu Miao is not important to him because of his opinions, he will not give up on him." Lu Fan shook his head and said.

"So, we have to add a fire, Ziheng, you go and prepare a good coffin, and then transport Zhang Ying's body back to Shouchun, and return it to Liu Xuan, you said that Liu Xuan saw the corpse of his most important general, and then saw the unharmed Tai Shici appear, will he do it!" The corners of Sun Ce's mouth were raised, and his smile was a little sinister.

"Childe is wise!" Lu Fan's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said, "My subordinates will do it immediately!" ”

"General, it turns out that you are fighting this idea, have you been approaching Quan Gongzi too much recently, and you are becoming more and more insidious like Quan Gongzi!" Zhou Tai looked at Sun Cezhi with such a smile, and he couldn't stand it anymore, and sighed sarcastically.

"Get out!"

Sun Ce glared and said, "Can you speak, the second child is insidious, I am smart!" ”

Sun Ce and Zhou Tai are friends, and the two are both commanders of the Overlord Iron Cavalry, and they have a deep friendship in private.

"Sure enough, they are two brothers, and their faces are as thick!" Zhou Taimeng rolled his eyes.

"General, Master Gu, who supervised the transportation of grain and grass, brought a batch of grain from Moling!" A soldier walked in and said, "He said he had something important to meet the general." ”

"Hurry up, please!" Sun Ce raised his head and said loudly.

"Eldest son, something happened in Wu County." Because of Gu Zhou's affairs, Gu Yong took on the job of supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and all the grain and grass of the Jiangdong army that fought in Danyang came from the Gu family, but since Sun Ce took the northern part of Danyang, it was much easier.

"What?" When Sun Ce heard this, his face changed, he stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and asked, "Gu Yuansi, what did you say, Wu County is fine, how could something happen, what happened?" Make it clear. ”

Gu Yongfeng walked in, looked at Sun Ce, and analyzed the bloody battle in Wu County.

"Wu County was attacked by 20,000 troops of Huiji? Bastard, why didn't I get the news, why didn't the second brother ask me for help? Sun Ce was furious: "And you, since you know, why don't you say it?" ”

"Quan Gongzi felt that there were not many Jiangdong troops with Danyang, and you had to face Zhang Yingfanneng's tens of thousands of troops, and your pressure was already very great, so you didn't ask for help from Danyang, and directly asked Huiji for help, I only knew when I brought grain from Wu County, that you were leading troops to attack Wuhu, I was afraid of hurting the morale of the soldiers, so I didn't say it!" Gu Yong sighed and said analytically.

"Damn it!" Sun Ce had a touch of anger in his eyes, smashed the desk with a punch, and finally asked, "How is Wu County now?" ”

"Son, rest assured, Gongzi Quan led thousands of troops to block Wang Lang's soldiers and horses for almost ten days, Ling Cao's reinforcements have arrived yesterday, and Wu County is safe." Gu Yong said hurriedly.

"That's good, bastard boy, how can Danyang be compared with Wu County, this son is settling accounts with him when he goes back!"

Sun Ce breathed a long sigh of relief, then looked at Gu Yong and said, "You came just in time, now that the Jiangdong Army has Moling and Wuhu to rely on, grain and grass are no longer a problem, but our army is about to go south to Wanling."

Wuhu, as the back of the Jiangdong army, must be guarded, and Wu Jingtai must guard Moling, in case Jiujiang Liu Xuan, can't pull away, so I want you to guard Wuhu! ”

Now that Wu County has escaped, then he is relieved and can send troops to capture Wanling.

"Is Yong suitable?" Gu Yong was taken aback and asked.

"Now the situation is critical, Mr. Gu is a great talent favored by his father, just a Wuhu, it shouldn't be difficult for you!" Sun Ce squinted his eyes and said. He had heard Sun Jian's words of appreciating Gu Yong, which was a person-time.

And now the capture of Wanling is the most important thing.

"No!" Gu Yong did not postpone it, this was a good opportunity, and he would naturally seize it.
