Nanyang Wancheng.

This county, this city, has been in unspeakable misery since it was ruled by Yuan Shu. Not to mention anything else, Yuan Shu has recruited fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses here.

It's almost one out of eight.

In the counties, it is rare to see men plowing the fields. On the contrary, the number of graves in every household has increased. The people complained.

However, Yuan Shu was the fourth and third dukes, and there were many families under him who supported him. Relying on the support of these scholars, Yuan Shu can still support.

Not long ago, he went south to attack Liu Bei, Kefancheng, and Tu Xinye.

It also made Yuan Shu's dominance reach a certain level. But the dominance consolidated by the great victory of the army, after the defeat of the army, is worse than the defeat of the army.

Now Yuan Shu doesn't even support him very much from the big clans, and some people even secretly communicate with Liu Bei in the south.

Although it has the support of Nanyang County and 30,000 troops, Wancheng is strong.

Yuan Shu was still conscientious and felt that his time was running out.

On this day, Yuan Shu received news that Liu Bei had marched to Anzhong. It was a castle on the border of Nanyang County.

"It's really time to die." Yuan Shu locked himself in the study, drank sullen wine, and sighed for a long time.

"The lord, Sun Ce and Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao, and Huang Gai are out asking to see you." At this moment, a pro-soldier came to report.

"What are they doing here?" Yuan Shu was surprised.

After Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce and others returned. Yuan Shu soothed them, and then let them continue to command Sun Jian's remnants of the defeated army of about 10,000 people.

At present, this group of people can be regarded as a powerful faction in the army.

"Let them in." Yuan Shu said.

"No."

Not long after, Sun Ce, Cheng Pu and others walked in. Yuan Shu's eyes immediately lit up, and he saw that Sun Ce was wearing armor, his aura was magnificent, and he had a majestic aura similar to that of his father.

"It's a pity for Sun Jian." Yuan Shu sighed in his heart.

"Did you come to me for something?" Yuan Shu asked.

"Report to the lord, the last general heard that Liu Bei has entered the army to Anzhong. I ask you to lead 10,000 men from the old army to defend Anzhong. Confront Liu Bei. Sun Ce arched his hand and said loudly.

"Your father died at the hands of Huang Zu and has a great enmity with Jingzhou. Revenge, I understand. But your father is not as good as Huang Zu, not to mention that Liu Bei raised his own troops. What is the difference between your defeat of 10,000 men and your death? ”

Yuan Shu shook his head with a wry smile.

"There is a way that mourning soldiers will win, and my father treats the soldiers as if they were his own sons and nephews, and the soldiers are also willing to serve their fathers. My father died in Jingzhou, and the soldiers were also angry. The last general thinks that he can fight. Sun Ce said stubbornly.

Yuan Shu was furious, in fact, he was worried that if Sun Ce failed, then Nanyang would have 20,000 troops left, and he would not be able to stop Liu Bei's attack at all.

Yuan Shu took the opportunity to get angry and said: "Yellow-mouthed son, you dare to speak wildly?? Go down and reflect. ”

"My lord." Sun Ce was not convinced and wanted to argue.

"Cheng Pu, why don't you take him down quickly??? If you have time, it's better to think about guarding Wancheng. Yuan Shu scolded Cheng Pu.

"No."

Cheng Pu responded and pulled Sun Ce away.

The five of them quickly left the county guard's mansion, Sun Ce was unconvinced with a face, and said to Cheng Pu: "Yuan Shu, this person, has no talent. And my father, Sun Jian, died at the hands of Liu Bei. Liu Bei is a hero, sitting in Jingzhou, with hundreds of thousands of armor, and it will be stronger. Relying on Yuan Shu will never be able to take revenge. It's better to beg to go. ”

"Let's go??? Now that the world is in chaos, where can we go? Cheng Pu sighed.

"Go north and go to the general." Sun Ce said.

"That's a thief." Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and the others frowned and said.

"I don't care if I'm a thief or a Hanchen, if I can avenge me, I'm a good person. The general sat in Sili, fought with the princes of the world, was the enemy on all sides, retreated to Dong Zhuo in the west, defeated Yuan Shu in the south, rejected Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the east, and was invincible. Liu Bei's current strength can only be matched by a general. I can only rely on the general to avenge my father. ”

Sun Ce sneered, and then said to Cheng Pu and the four: "I'll go to the north, if the four of you go together, you will be grateful." If I can't go along, I don't hate it. He divided his father's wealth and gave it to the four generals for entanglement. ”

Sun Ce is young and magnificent, and his words are even more reasonable.

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao looked at each other for a moment when they heard this, and finally Cheng Pu said: "When you go with Bo Fu." ”

"Okay."

Sun Ce nodded.

At that moment, a fast horse galloped up. It's Ji Ling.

"General Ji is in such a hurry, but what happened?" Sun Ce's heart moved and asked.

"It's news from the north, Zhang Shuang's army has arrived at the border of Nanyang." Ji Ling took a deep breath and said. Then he said to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, you go down and tidy up the army, and I will report to the lord." ”

With that, Ji Ling entered the county guard's mansion.

"Good opportunity." Sun Ce's eyes lit up, and he said to the four: "The opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again." Immediately prepare to run. ”

"No."

Cheng Pu nodded in unison and left with Sun Ce.

…………….

"What???? Zhang Shuang came in person??? That's impossible. He confronted Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo has 300,000 soldiers and horses, how can he easily leave the north and go south to Nanyang? ”

After Yuan Shu listened to Ji Ling's report, he almost jumped up.

"The spies came to report, it's true." Ji Ling smiled bitterly.

"I don't believe it, lead 300 cavalry, and follow me to the north to have a look." Yuan Shu still didn't believe it, and ordered.

"No."

Ji Ling promised and went down to prepare.

Soon after, Yuan Shu led Ji Ling and other cavalry of 300 people, galloped for about 300 miles, and reached the north. Dust and smoke rose ahead, and the army was shaken.

In the army, a banner with the word "Lu" is very conspicuous.

"It's Lu Bu???? He is often Zhang Shuang's vanguard, and when he arrives, Zhang Shuang's army is not far away. At this moment, Yuan Shu's hands and feet were cold, and he felt that his head was no longer his own.

"Bao Zhugong, Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao led 10,000 elite soldiers, with their families, to the north, intending to join Zhang Shuang."

At this moment, a pro-soldier came to report.

"What ????" Yuan Shu was taken aback, and cold sweat flowed even more.

"Sun Ce Xiao'er, he actually betrayed." Ji Ling said angrily.

Yuan Shu ignored Ji Ling, and his heart was very chaotic. There is Liu Bei in the south and Zhang Shuang in the north. The two of them each have more than 100,000 soldiers, and they are between the two males.

"Go back."

Yuan Shu made a decision, and Le Ma left.

After returning to the city, Yuan Shu summoned Zhang Xun and Ji Ling, and ordered the two to defend the city. In the name of going to the east to ask for help from Runan, he hurriedly took his family and went east.

………………

When Zhang Shuang went south, there were only six generals such as Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Wei Yan, Xu Shu, and Gao Shun, and 40,000 elite soldiers.

Nine generals, 58,000 people.

With Lu Bu as the vanguard, Xu Shu and Wei Yan as the rear towns, and Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and Tai Shici as the Chinese army, they went south and reached Nanyang County.

Sun Ce led 10,000 men from the old army to the north, and the two sides met about a hundred miles north of Wancheng.

Zhang Shuang was very surprised when he got the news, and ordered the army to stop moving temporarily. He personally led Dian Wei, Zhou Cang and others to see Sun Ce. Soon after, Sun Ce led the four generals to arrive, bowed down and said: "Therefore, Changsha guards Sun Jian's Sun Ce and meets the general." ”

Zhang Shuang helped Sun Ce up, and said very strangely: "I know you, although you are young, you have a little bit of Sun Wentai's majesty." There was also a table character early on. There are 36 princes in the world, and I don't care about others, only Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Yan, Sun Wentai and a few other people are afraid of me. ”

After a pause, Zhang Shuang asked: "Sun Wentai and Yuan Shu have an old relationship, why did you give up Yuan Shu and follow me?" ”

"Although Yuan Houjun is the fourth and third duke, he is mediocre. is not as good as Liu Bei, and even less than a general. The villain wants to take revenge, and there is no other way than to defect to the general. Sun Ce replied truthfully.

"Haha, it turned out that I wanted to use me to avenge you." Zhang Shuang laughed.

The generals present Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Tai Shici and other generals also changed their faces slightly, and they were very calm. The group of generals is fierce, and the breath is even more explosive.

Sun Ce was calm and calm, and said with a smile: "The general is the enemy of the world, and there is a shortage of soldiers and major generals. The villain, with Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao, and Huang Gai, although they are not talented, they also think they are brave. The general avenged me, and the five of us did our best for the general. The general did not suffer. ”

"You're being honest." Zhang Shuang smiled and said, "For your honesty's sake." I'll forget it. Immediately, Zhang Shuang said to Li Hui, the chief bookkeeper: "The Son of Heaven, let Sun Ce inherit Sun Jian's title, be Wucheng Hou, and worship as General Wuwei." Cheng Pu and the other four people are school captains, and they worship as the marquis of Guannei. ”

"No."

Li Hui promised.

"Now, you and Lu Bu are the vanguard, and help me capture Nanyang." Zhang Shuang said to Sun Ce.

"No."

Sun Ce promised.

Immediately, the army continued to march and reached the outside of Wancheng. And the news that Yuan Shu abandoned the city and fled to the east also reached Zhang Shuang's ears.

"This is Yuan Shu." Zhang Shuang smiled and said to Dian Wei: "Personally lead a thousand cavalry to pursue." Be sure to get Yuan Shu's head. ”

"No." Dian Wei promised and went down.

"As soon as Yuan Shu dies, Nanyang will be mine. We are not in a hurry to storm the city, let's wait here. Zhang Shuang said to the generals.

……………

About fifty miles west of Wancheng, Yuan Shu, his family, and the carriage fled frantically to the east.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

Yuan Shu rode away while ordering everyone to speed up.

"I'm going to Yangzhou, Shouchun over there, with a large population, with the reputation of my fourth and third dukes, I will definitely be able to make a comeback." Yuan Shu is very hopeful about the road ahead. But for Zhang Shuang, it was very scary.

"Zhang Shuang came in person. I wonder if he'll let people chase me??? No, he should be interested in Nanyang. I've given up on Nanyang, what is he chasing me for? ”

At this moment, the voice of a large number of cavalry rang out.

"Go !!!" Yuan Shu was taken aback, abandoned his family, and fled east with his cavalry.

After walking more than 20 miles, he was caught up by Dian Wei.

"Wait, let me go. I can enrich you. You are just a liehou with Zhang Shuang. I will make you a marquis of ten thousand households, 10,000 gold. ”

Yuan Shu yelled.

"Hey!" Dian Wei smiled and bent his bow to shoot Yuan Shu. (To be continued.) )
