Since he decided to take the waterway, Sun Quan did not delay any longer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He instructed Sun Jiao to lead 500 soldiers to Haiyan to collect fishing boats, while he himself led 1,000 soldiers to escort the Jiangdong officials and their families to catch up later.

Sun Quan didn't want to bring more soldiers and horses, but the number of fishing boats was limited, and the first thing he wanted to ensure was to take all the officials and their families away safely.

Sun Quan did this, naturally, in order to buy people's hearts, you must know that among these officials, there are many wealthy families, if he wants to rise again in Huiji, he will definitely not be able to do without their support.

At noon, a thunderous vibration suddenly sounded outside the boxing city, and the guards in the city boarded the city to look into the distance, and their expressions became extremely solemn in an instant, because Jinfan's two thousand iron horsemen had already killed the city of Youquan.

Sun Quan left Wu County in a hurry, and with Zhou Yu leading an army of 5,000 to stay behind, Wang Chong did not think that Sun Quan would be so prescient to set up an ambush on their way south.

Facts have proved that Wang Chong's guess was not wrong, 2,000 cavalry came all the way, and did not encounter any surprise interception, it only took more than two hours for him to lead the army to reach Youquan.

Tai Shi Ci raised his head and glanced at the city wall, and said to Wang Chong: "Lord, there seem to be defenders in the city."

"Another batch of substitute ghosts left by Sun Quan to break off" Wang Chong sneered, "It's a pity that not everyone can be as determined as Zhou Yu, can be loyal and conscientious for the Sun family, and even pay for it with their lives"

"The Lord means"

"Ziyi, and come forward to persuade him to surrender, since he can be regarded as an abandoned son by Sun Quan, the status of the defenders in the city in the Jiangdong Army must not be high, maybe we can take Yuquan without spending a single soldier"

"Nuo" Tai Shi Ci responded, and hit the horse out of battle. shouted towards the city, "A certain person is from the east to Tai Shi Ci, how can the guards in the city dare to come out to answer"

A moment later. A strong man in his thirties appeared at the head of the city, hugged his fist at Tai Shi Ci and said, "It turned out to be General Tai Shi." I don't know what to teach."

Tai Shi Ci said: "This general knows that you have been regarded as an abandoned son by Sun Quan."

The guard's face changed, and he asked, "What does General Taishi mean by this?"

"The city wall of Youquan is low and there is no moat, when my Jinfan army arrives, how long can you hold on" Tai Shi Ci said righteously, "It is difficult to defend by the fist, how can Sun Quan not know that he left you in the fist, wouldn't he let you die in vain?"

The guard squinted his eyes and said, "General Taishi said this. Could it be that he wants to persuade someone to surrender to Jinfanhu"

Tai Shici persuaded: "Those who know the times are Junjie, the general trend of Jiangdong has gone, why should the general be obsessed with it anymore"

"This" The guard general obviously hesitated, was silent for a while, and finally failed to make a decision, "General Taishi, please wait a moment, this matter still needs to be discussed with his subordinates for a long time"

Tai Shi Ci knew that the enemy general was already moved, and said with a smile: "General, please."

"Thank you" the guard took a deep breath and then descended the wall.

"General, you don't really want to descend Jinfan," the guard was behind him. Several cronies quickly surrounded them.

"The trend of Jinfan's domination of the southeast is irreversible, so why can't we wait for Jinfan to descend?"

"Yes, everybody knows. Sun Zhongmou left us in Youquan because he wanted to use us to hold Jinfan in tow so that they could buy time to evacuate, and he himself, as General Taishi said, had already regarded us as outcasts."

"If he is unkind, then don't blame us for being unjust"

"Yes, General, come down. Our family is in Wu County, even if we are not afraid of death. I also have to think about the orphans and widows at home, Jiangdong is not Jinfan. They have never formalized pensions, and if we die in battle, who can expect them to take care of our family."

Seeing that most of the cronies around him were in favor of surrendering Jinfan, the guard general couldn't help but be more moved in his heart, and there was actually only one reason why he was still hesitating.

"The general is worried that if he surrenders Jinfan so easily, he will be regarded as a repeated person by General Zhengdong and dare not reuse it" At this time, the chief secretary of the army looked at the guard with a smile on his face, and said, "The general has thought too much, now Sun Quan is going to Haiyan Cai for two hours, if the general surrenders immediately and informs General Zhengdong of his whereabouts, and helps him intercept Sun Quan in one fell swoop, this will be a great achievement; On the contrary, if the general continues to procrastinate, so that Jinfan misses the best opportunity to pursue Sun Quan, it will cause great dissatisfaction among General Zhengdong."

When the guard heard this, he suddenly realized, slapped his head, and said in annoyance: "Oh, I almost missed a big thing."

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and walked quickly in the direction of the city gate, and at the same time ordered: "Come on, and quickly open the city gate, and follow me out of the city to meet General Zhengdong."

Soon, the gate of the city was slowly opened, and Tai Shi Ci saw that the city guards led more than a dozen officials out of the city with their bare hands, and he knew that it was done.

"The sin will be severe, knock on the general Zhengdong"

Under the guidance of Tai Shici, the guards came to Wang Chong, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the rest of the people also prostrated on the ground.

Ning Yan hadn't heard of it, but it didn't matter, what Wang Chong was most urgent about now was just to find out Sun Quan's specific whereabouts from his mouth.

"General Ning abandons the darkness and turns to the light, my heart is very relieved, please hurry up," Wang Chong said, waving his hand and making a gesture of false support.

"Thank you, lord" Ning Yan was also smart, and immediately changed his title to show his loyalty.

Wang Chong asked straight to the point: "General Ning, do you know where Sun Zhongmou has fled now?"

"Even if the lord doesn't ask, the last general is about to tell the lord," Ning Yan said and paused, "This time, Sun Quan asked the last general to lead three thousand soldiers to garrison Youquan to block the pursuit of my Jinfan army, in addition, Zhonglang General Sun Jingye has led 10,000 soldiers to the southwest, as for Sun Quan himself, he took a group of Jiangdong officials and their families to Haiyan in the southeast, intending to take a fishing boat to cross the sea and land in Huiji first."

"Do you take the waterway, this kid is a spirit" Wang Chong smiled and continued to ask, "How many soldiers and horses does Sun Quan have with him?"

Ning Yan replied: "Fifteen hundred"

"So little"

Ning Yan explained: "The lord doesn't know, because it is a temporary initiative, they can only collect ships on the spot, and the number of people they can carry is extremely limited, and the number of family members of Jiangdong officials alone is close to 3,000, maybe in the end, even the 1,500 soldiers in this area may not be able to board all the ships."

"It's really heaven to help me" Wang Chong laughed, looking at Ning Yan's gaze couldn't help but be a lot more pleasant, "If I can successfully intercept and kill Sun Quan on this trip, General Ning should be the first to take the lead."

"Thank you, lord" Ning Yan was suddenly overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. To be continued.
