Ten miles west of Anseong.

The battle flag covered the sky, the soldiers were numerous, and more than 10,000 mink troops rode on foot, marching eastward along the mighty Rushui, approaching the seat of this Runan County.

Sun Ben was defeated, Han Dang's defeated army was defeated all the way, and Diao Xiong took advantage of the situation to advance eastward, connecting several cities, and penetrating deep into the hinterland of Runan.

At this time, Sun Jian did not retreat, but relied on the 10,000 undefeated army in his hand to recruit the defeated army, mobilize the troops of the cities of Runan, and come to Ancheng to gather, putting on a posture of swearing not to withdraw the army and fighting to the death with Mink Xiong.

Sun Jian's troops totaled 30,000 people, and Biyang lost more than 10,000 people in a defeat, and now he has collected the defeated soldiers, and the number of troops has recovered to 20,000.

Although the enemy still had the advantage in numbers, the morale of the army was frustrated and morale was low.

Moreover, Sun Jian also has a fatal weakness:

He had no cavalry.

Therefore, although Diao Xiong only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, he relied on the momentum of victory and the sharpness of the cavalry, but put on an offensive posture and forced the city to go down.

The army camped eight miles northwest of Ancheng, but Diao Xiong was in no hurry to attack.

Sun Jian is not Yuan Shu, he is proficient in the way of using troops, and according to the big rear of Huainan, he can continuously increase troops to the front line, only defend and not attack, Sun Jian is not afraid of Diao Xiong.

As for Mink Xiong, Nanyang is dilapidated and has insufficient soldiers, and every one of his soldiers is extremely precious, and he has no capital to waste his limited soldiers' lives on the strategy of attacking the city.

He's waiting for someone.

A few days later, at dusk, Mink Xiong was studying the situation in the tent, and the soldiers came to report that it was Miss Sun Shangxiang and that she had been sent to the army.

"It's finally here." Diao Xiong waved his hand and said, "Order, invite Miss Sun to me in." ”

After a while, Sun Shangxiang, who was dressed in plain clothes, reluctantly stepped into the big tent.

Diao Xiong raised his eyes to look, but he saw that he hadn't seen him for a long time, Sun Shangxiang's face was a little less immature, adding a touch of maturity, and the appearance of a beauty had already taken shape.

Seeing Diao Xiong's gaze, wandering around his body wantonly, this little wild horse of the Sun family, his face suddenly flushed with a hint of redness, and he was displeased, but he was afraid of Diao Xiong's "obscenity", but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only bite his lips secretly.

"Show Miss Sun to sit." Mink Xiong waved his hand, which was quite polite.

"No need." Sun Shangxiang refused coldly, glared at Mink Xiong and said: "You invited me from Wancheng all the way here, what is the conspiracy, don't beat around the bush, just say it." ”

Fast talking, this little wild horse, is straightforward.

Mink Xiong smiled, then called the left and right pro-army, brought the pen and ink, and put it in front of Sun Shangxiang.

"What do you mean by that?" Sun Shangxiang looked at the pen and ink in front of him, with a suspicious expression.

Mink Xiong flicked his hand and said lightly: "It's very simple, I want you to write a letter to your father Sun Jian, explain the benefits and disadvantages to him, and persuade him to lead the army to withdraw from Yuzhou." ”

Sun Jian is a strong enemy that is difficult to deal with, and Diao Xiong's move is not because he is afraid of Sun Jian, but because he wants to avoid the consumption of his soldiers as much as possible, so as to keep the treasure land of Jingzhou in the south.

Sun Shangxiang was stunned at first, her bright eyes turned a few times, but a trace of arrogance suddenly rekindled on her pretty face.

She raised her small chest, looked at Mink Xiong proudly, and sneered: "What should I be, it turns out that you are afraid of my father and want me to persuade my father not to come and clean you up." ”

"Haha-"

In response to Sun Shangxiang, it was Diao Xiong's wild laughter, laughing so disdainfully, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"What are you laughing at, aren't you afraid of my father?" Sun Shangxiang raised his eyebrows and snorted.

Mink Xiong smiled and did not speak, only looked down at Sun Shangxiang with a sarcastic gaze,

In front of the tent, Xu Rong snorted coldly: "I said Miss Sun, are you kidding, don't you know that just a few days ago, my general defeated your Sun family's army, killing you like a river of blood, you said that my general will be afraid of your father, it's really a big joke." ”

Xu Rong laughed disdainfully, and the generals on the left and right also laughed.

Sun Shangxiang's face changed, his face showed surprise, but he snorted: "My father has taken Huainan, and the army is prosperous, you are besieged by several soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to protect yourself, how can you defeat my father, you don't want to deceive me." ”

Sun Shangxiang didn't know about Biyang's victory, and the information she knew was obviously still stuck in Sun Jian leading an army of 30,000 to attack Diao Xiong with Cao Cao.

"I don't believe it." Diao Xiong sneered and shouted: "Come on, bring the general's subordinates to defeat and escort them up for me." ”

The order was handed down, and a moment later, the disgraced Sun Ben was dragged up by the soldiers.

At this time, in order to stop the blood of the severed ear, Sun Ben wrapped a large circle of bandages on his head, which looked very funny.

"Cousin!"

Sun Shangxiang recognized Sun Ben at a glance, blurted out an exclamation, and the suspicion and arrogance on his face disappeared in an instant.

She jumped up in a few steps, hugged her cousin, and asked in surprise: "Didn't you lead a large army to surround Biyang, how do you ...... How so? ”

"Little ...... Little sister, alas, ......" Sun Ben recognized Sun Shangxiang and was ashamed, only sighing dejectedly, unwilling to say the shame of his defeat.

Even if he was embarrassed to speak, he knelt here with such a disgraced posture, which was enough to prove everything.

Diao Xiong did not lie, he not only defeated the Sun family's army, but also captured their pioneer Sun Ben alive!

Seeing his cousin's virtue, Sun Shangxiang suddenly realized, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Diao Xiong with an unbelievable gaze.

Diao Xiong's face sank as ice, and he said coldly: "You only need to repair a letter and persuade Sun Jian to withdraw from Runan and Yuzhou, and I will give you freedom, what's the matter, you won't suffer a loss in this transaction." ”

Sun Shangxiang's delicate body was shocked, and the hostility between her eyebrows disappeared mostly, obviously this condition offered by Mink Xiong deeply touched her.

After pondering for a moment, Sun Shangxiang frowned and said, "What if I still refuse?" ”

"Won't?" Mink Xiong snorted coldly, and there was murder in his eyes, "Then you don't want to see your father again for the rest of your life, you will also behead Sun Ben, and then kill your father with your own hands and drive him out of Yuzhou." ”

The cold warning, the murderous intent, makes people shudder.

Sun Ben, who was lying on the ground, suddenly trembled, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he looked up at Sun Shangxiang urgently, although he was not ashamed of his words, but there was clearly a trace of longing in his eyes.

That look, as if he was longing for Sun Shangxiang, agreed to the conditions offered by Mink Xiong, and wrote this persuasion.

Otherwise, his Sun Ben will fall to the ground.

He didn't want to die.

Sun Shangxiang bit her red lips tightly, looked at her cousin for a while, and looked at Mink Xiong for a while, and her heart was very entangled.

"Although this kid is hateful, he is really good, his father has been defeated by him several times, if he continues to fight, I am afraid that he will lose. However, let me personally write a letter of persuasion to my father, how can I do such a thing that damages the face of my grandson family. But if I don't write it, my cousin will surely die......"

After weighing it for a long time, Sun Shangxiang let out a long sigh, looked up at Mink Xiong, and said silently: "It's okay for you to let me write a letter of persuasion, but I want my cousin to take this letter and send it to my father, if you don't agree, my Sun Shangxiang would rather die than give in." ”

Sun Shangxiang, the little wild horse, talked about the conditions and wanted to take the opportunity to save Sun Ben.

Sun Ben's subordinates were defeated, and it was not necessary to let him go, just to let Sun Jian see the ugliness of his nephew's severed ear, and it was not impossible to shock Sun Jian.

As soon as Mink Xiong's mind turned, he said happily: "Okay, Ben will agree to what you invited." ”

As soon as these words came out, Sun Ben secretly exhaled, and when he came back to his senses, he found that a layer of cold sweat had soaked on his back.

Now that the conditions have been negotiated, Sun Shangxiang has no reason to refuse, so he has to write a letter of persuasion to his father according to what Mink Xiong said.

Diao Xiong's letter of persuasion did not disdain Sun Jian's words, but only clarified the interests and disadvantages to Sun Jian, and persuaded Sun Jian to spend his energy on taking Jiangdong in the south and Xuzhou in the north, and realizing the strategy of integrating Xu and Yang, instead of ignoring his Ermine Xiong's cavalry superiority and fighting with him for Yuzhou.

Shucheng, Diao Xiong handed it over to Sun Ben, and said coldly: "Sun Ben, I cut off one of your ears, just to punish your Sun family for invading my Nanyang." I advise you to take this letter to Sun Jian, and persuade him well, don't go against my mink male again, otherwise the next time you see you on the battlefield, you won't just lose an ear. ”

Listening to Diao Xiong's threat, Sun Ben felt the hatred in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, so he only made a bitter face and responded in a low voice: "General Mink's meaning, I will convey it to my uncle, I can only do my best." ”

Only then was Mink Xiong satisfied, and signaled that he could leave.

Sun Ben hurriedly retired, and Sun Shangxiang also hurriedly followed and sent out the big tent.

Seeing that the left and right soldiers were a little farther away, Sun Shangxiang lowered his voice and said: "Cousin, this mink male is indeed powerful, our Sun family has no cavalry, and he is not his opponent at all." Besides, what he said in his letter is also reasonable, and it is more advantageous to fight for Xuzhou than to seize Yuzhou. If you go back, persuade your father and let him agree to retire from the army, at least temporarily, so that I can get out of trouble. ”

"Sister, don't worry, I know what to do, and you can bear with it for a few more days." Sun Ben promised and left in a hurry.

Out of the mink army camp, Sun Ben regained his freedom, rode a horse alone, and galloped away like crazy.

Looking back at the camp and looking at the banner of the word "mink", Sun Ben snorted coldly, and between his eyebrows, a trace of revenge burst out.
