However, it is said that after Sun Ce crossed the river, he and Zhou Yu attacked Liu Xuan's camp at the foot of Niuzhu Mountain and seized a lot of grain and grass equipment.

At that time, Zhenrong, who had been defeated by Liu Bei before, led the crowd to defect to Xue Li, who was stationed in Moling, and was stationed more than ten miles south of Moling at this time. Sun Ce adopted Zhou Yu's strategy, first sent Cheng Pu and Han Dang to lead 2,000 soldiers to attack the Zhenrong Division, and when Xue Li led his troops out of the city to rescue, he went with Zhou Yu to attack Moling City. Then, Xue Li and Zhenrong were both defeated, and Moling City was also captured by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and Xue Li and Zhenrong fled to Hushu City in the east.

Sun Ce planned to continue to attack Hushu in the east, but Zhou Yu thought it was inappropriate and suggested that the enemy camp in Meiling, which was stationed more than ten miles north of Moling, should be broken first. Sun Ce took Zhou Yu's proposal and led his army to attack Meiling. At that time, Hushu City was also only more than ten miles away from Meiling, and the guards in the city learned the news and planned to send troops to rescue, but Xue Li and Zhenrong said that this must be the other party's plan to lure the enemy, and they must not be easily fooled.

Later, Meiling was breached, and Sun Ce seized a lot of baggage. Then they marched to the east to capture the three cities of Hushu, Jurong and Jiangcheng, all of which were fought in a battle. At this moment, Sun Ce, who was helped by Zhou Yu, could be described as invincible, which made Liu Xuan's soldiers frightened for a while.

But he said that Donglai people Tai Shi Ci Ziyi is a fellow villager of Liu Xuan. At first, because Kong Rong, the Xiangguo of Beihai, often took care of his mother at home, and when Guan Hai led the Yellow Turban Army to besiege Duchang City, he listened to his mother's words and bravely broke through the siege to seek rescue in order to repay his kindness, and since then he has become famous. Not long ago, he heard that Liu Miao had served as the assassin of Yangzhou and was at war with Yuan Shu, so he rushed all the way from Qingzhou to defect.

Some of the officials under Liu Miao's account were also from Qingzhou, so they all knew Tai Shi Ci's name for bravery, so he suggested that Liu Miao promote Tai Shi Ci to be a general and let him be responsible for leading the army to resist Sun Ce. For this proposal, Liu Miao did not adopt it, mainly because Tai Shi Ci did not make any merits when he first arrived. If he is immediately entrusted with a heavy responsibility, he will inevitably be disagreed by others, and people will mistakenly think that he is crony. So, he asked Tai Shici to be a scout for a few days first, and then promote him when he made some achievements.

At that time, Sun Ce garrisoned Jurong City and wanted to continue to attack Qu'a in the east. But at this time, Liu Miao stationed a troop of soldiers and horses twenty miles east of Maoshan in the south between the two cities. Sun Ce didn't know the situation of the soldiers and horses for a while, so he personally led Han Dang, Huang Gai and other thirteen people to investigate.

At this time, Tai Shi Ci and another scout were patrolling and sentry more than ten miles west of the camp. Suddenly, a wild deer jumped out. This made Tai Shici, who was happy to see the hunt, couldn't help but move in his heart. Immediately he said to the man beside him, "Oh, brother, look, there's a deer; I said let's give it to Hunter to add a meal, what do you think? ”

The man hesitated, looked around and said, "Well, there is no enemy at this time anyway; It's just that there is no bow and arrow in hand, how can you hunt? ”

"Don't worry, look at me." As he spoke, Tai Shici pulled out a halberd from his back.

Seeing this, the man couldn't help but ask with a little suspicion, "Hey." I said, can you use this thing? ”

Without waiting for Tai Shi Ci to reply, the deer seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly ran away.

Seeing this, Tai Shici said, "Want to escape? It's not that easy. "Even if you want to get on the horse and chase it.

The man couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Chase quickly, chase quickly." Don't let it escape. ”

Immediately, the two got on their horses and chased westward together. Anyway, this deer is quite capable of running. The two chased for several miles, and they were almost at the foot of Maoshan Mountain, when the guy suddenly disappeared into the bushes. This can make the two of them wonder a lot. Then he quickly dismounted and searched around.

The two looked for a while, and the man who came with Tai Shici suddenly shouted softly, "Hey, here." ”

When Tai Shi Ci on the side heard this, he couldn't help but run to him gently, but saw that the man hurriedly said, "Be careful, don't scare it away again." ”

saw Tai Shici pull out his halberd again and said, "Not this time." ”

Immediately, after Tai Shi Ci saw the location of the wild deer, he just wanted to throw the halberd, but he thought of an arrow that ran out of nowhere, and suddenly shot it to death. Seeing this, the two of them hurriedly looked around suspiciously, but suddenly they saw a group of people less than a hundred paces to the east, and the arrows seemed to have come from them.

At this time, one of the men ran over, and then mentioned that the wild deer was about to go back. Seeing this, Tai Shici couldn't help but hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Hey, don't go." ”

The man couldn't help but look at him, but asked, "What's the matter?" ”

When Tai Shici heard that the other party's accent seemed to be a little close to his hometown Qingzhou, he couldn't help but ask in a Shandong accent: "Fellow, you are also from Jiangbei?" ”

The man looked at Tai Shici, but said, "Yes, I am from Jiujiang Shouchun, where are you from?" ”

Tai Shici replied: "Oh, I am from Donglai Huang County. ”

The man couldn't help but say, "Oh, isn't that far away, it's not a fellow countryman; What's your name? ”

At this time, the person who came with Tai Shici on the side couldn't help but wonder a little, how could he recognize his fellow villagers in this hunting.

Tai Shi Ci said: "This deer belongs to the two of us, you can't snatch it." ”

But the man said, "What you said is not right, right? This was shot by our general, so naturally it has to be considered ours, how can it be considered the two of you? Could it be that you two raised it? ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "Although this deer was not raised by the two of us, it was the first of us to see it; The two of us have been chasing for a long time. ”

At this time, the people behind the man saw the two of them standing here and talking for a long time, and they couldn't help but come over. Sun Ce couldn't help asking, "Jiang Qin, what are you two talking about?" ”

Jiang Qin replied: "Oh, General, this man said that this deer was the first thing he saw. ”

Sun Ce couldn't help but look at Tai Shi Ci and the others, but suddenly asked in a Jiangdong voice: "Look at the two of them are Liu Xuan's pawns, right?" ”

Tai Shi Ci was stunned when he heard this, but immediately asked the person next to him, "Brother Hey, what did this person say?" ”

Sun Ce said again: "I'm asking, are you two soldiers under Liu Xuan; Why, you're not from Jiangdong? ”

Tai Shici replied: "I am from Qingzhou. ”

Sun Ce said, "Oh, no wonder I can't understand my native dialect; Do you know who I am? ”

Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but look at Sun Ce, but shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, I don't know." ”

At this time, the person next to Tai Shici suddenly said: "Seeing that Your Excellency has a good appearance and an extraordinary bearing, I think it is the eldest son Sun Bofu of General Sun Wentai, who is known as the "Jiangdong Tiger", right?" ”

Sun Ce smiled and said, "I can't see that you can have such insight even if you are just a soldier." ”

When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Oh? Are you Sun Ce? Wait for me to take your head! ”

When the people beside Sun Ce heard this, they couldn't help but take a step forward. One of the men suddenly rebuked: "Bold! "This man's surname is Zhou Mingtai, the word Youping, and he is from Cai under Jiujiang.

Sun Ce couldn't help but look at Tai Shici with interest, but said: "I never thought that there were such characters under Liu Xian's hands, and he dared to say that he wanted to take my head; Well, you wait and stand down, and I will fight him. ”

Then the two men mounted their horses and fought each other with a spear. These two are both good at using guns, and they have dismantled dozens of moves back and forth with each other, but they have not been able to distinguish the winner from the loser.

At this time, Han Dang and the others, who came with Sun Ce on the side, couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but they didn't expect that this inconspicuous soldier in front of them could have such martial arts. Jiang Qin on the side couldn't help but say: "My good man, this Donglai baby is quite capable." ”

However, the person who came with Tai Shici had an indifferent expression at the moment, as if he felt unremarkable. Looking at him holding a green dragon halberd, he should also be a person with good martial arts.

Immediately, the two dismantled dozens of moves, and they were still evenly divided. Sun Ce couldn't help but laugh immediately: "Haha, what an extraordinary little pawn; Quickly report the name. ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "A certain is Donglai Tai Shi Ci also!" ”

"Oh? Tai Shi Ci? When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious: "It sounds like a little familiar, which "Tai Shici" is it?" ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "Tai Shi Ci who takes your head!" Look at the guns! ”

Saying that, Tai Shi Ci stabbed him again, and Sun Ce immediately waved his gun to separate him, but instead stabbed at Tai Shi Ci's mount. Seeing that he was about to fall, Tai Shici grabbed Sun Ce's spear, and then took Sun Ce down by the way when he fell to the ground, only to see the two of them roll off the horse together.

After dismounting, the two got up and continued to fight with their guns, and then Sun Ce took the opportunity to snatch the halberd behind Tai Shi Ci, and Tai Shi Ci also shot off Sun Ce's helmet at the right time. Sun Ce immediately felt dizzy and hurriedly took a few steps back.

However, he said that Sun Ce was only in his early twenties at this time, and Tai Shici was already in his thirties, so his experience in martial arts was naturally better than Sun Ce's.

"General beware!" At that time, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others saw that Sun Ce's situation was not good, and hurriedly rushed forward to prevent accidents. And the man who came with Tai Shi Ci also stepped forward immediately, ready to fight. But at this moment, the cavalry units of the two families suddenly rushed over from a distance.

But seeing that Sun Ce came to his senses, he immediately smiled and said, "Haha, today's battle is really happy!" Although you still have two more pawns, it is not enough to take the head of my Sun Bofu; Well, that's the end of today, and we'll see you and me on the battlefield the next day. ”

Immediately, Sun Ce and others got on the horse and left. (To be continued......)
