In early spring and February, the grass grows and the warbler flies, which is the most beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

As soon as the horse was snow-white, the lightning was fast, and the four hooves stepped into the shallow grass that had just submerged into the horse's hooves, and the spring mud splashed. In front of this elite horse, there is a frightened fleeing elk, running wild and wild.

Immediately a person, white robe and silver armor, jade face handsome, riding a horse to chase the elk reluctantly, look at a hillside, the elk is exhausted, the running speed slowed down, the jade-faced man is happy, bow and arrow, "whoosh" an arrow, right in the elk's neck. The elk struggled and ran a few steps, and finally with a wail, lay down in the grass.

The jade-faced man was about to move forward, when suddenly three men in black clothes burst out from the woods on the side, two with guns and one with bows and arrows, blocking the way of the jade-faced man.

"Who are you waiting for? What are the plans for lurking here? The jade-faced man asked awe-inspiringly.

The black-clothed man at the head said resentfully: "We are Xu Gongmen's guests, and we are here to avenge our master." Sun Ce! Today is your death! With a loud shout, he raised his gun and stabbed Sun Ce in the leg.

The person on the horse is the lord of Jiangdong, Wucheng Hou Sun Ce, who has nothing to do in the spring, hunting in Dantu West Mountain, originally Sun Ce's subordinates have a large number of people, but Sun Ce's horse is faster than the horse of his entourage, and he is greedy for the big deer, so he is far away from the retinue cavalry, and unexpectedly there is an assassin in ambush here. However, although the matter was hasty, Sun Ce, who was brave and good at fighting, did not panic because of this, and when he saw the assassin stabbing with a shot, he casually pulled out the sword at his waist to block.

It stands to reason that Sun Ce's sword must be a good sword in a hundred, but at a critical moment. A strange scene actually happened, Sun Ce slashed at the opponent's spear head with a sword, and the blade suddenly fell to the ground, leaving only one sword in his hand. Sun Ce was startled, reached out and threw the handle of his sword, hitting the assassin in the face. The assassin screamed in pain, took a few steps back, and Sun Ce held his bow in his left hand and touched the quiver with his right hand. Only then did I realize that the last arrow had been used up in the deer shooting just now. At this moment, Sun Ce had nothing but a bow in his hand. There was no other weapon, and although he was proud of his martial arts, Sun Ce was never sure that he would face three assassins with sharp weapons with his bare hands. So Sun Ce hurriedly turned the horse's head. I want to run back.

The three Assassins were on foot. How to let Sun Ce escape, the assassin with the bow immediately drew his bow and arrows and shot at Sun Ce. Due to the extreme distance between the two sides, Sun Ce had to deal with two assassins at close range, and he didn't pay attention to the arrow that hit him in the cheek. Sun Ce screamed, pulled an arrow from his cheek, placed it on his bow, and reflected it to the throat of the assassin, who immediately fell to the ground and died.

But at this moment, the two spear-wielding assassins had already pounced, and in order to prevent Sun Ce's cavalry from escaping, the two spears did not stab Sun Ce, but stabbed the horse's belly, and the white horse screamed in pain, fell to the ground, and threw Sun Ce off his horse.

Sun Ce rolled on the ground, and he didn't care about the blood on his cheeks, and he raised his bow and wanted to leave.

How the two assassins were willing to give in, the spears shot like lightning, and stabbed at Sun Ce. These two assassins are not bad, they look like they are from the army, they are as fast as the wind, and their guns are not far from Sun Ce's vital points.

Sun Ce shouted violently, did not retreat, but advanced, dodged to avoid the spear that stabbed him, stretched out his left arm, caught the assassin on the left, held the bow in his right hand, and directly put the bowstring on the neck of the other assassin. The bowstring was thin and strong, and it was embedded deep in the assassin's throat, causing his eyes to turn white and he soon to die. The other assassin was pinched alive by Sun Ce's cervical vertebrae, and his head was drooped to the side, and he was dying.

After killing three assassins in a row, Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also exhausted, and he collapsed to the ground in collapse, gasping for breath.

At this time, Cheng Pu led the cavalry of his own guards to catch up, and was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly picked up Sun Ce, and when he saw that Sun Ce's face was full of blood, he ripped off a piece of his brocade robe, wrapped Sun Ce's wounds, and asked why.

Sun Ce pointed to the corpse on the ground, and said hatefully: "These three people are the remnants of Xu Gong, and they are secretly lurking here, just to avenge Xu Gong. ”

When Cheng Pu looked at it, one of the three assassins was shot in the throat by an arrow, one was killed by a broken neck, and the other was strangled to death by a bowstring, with Sun Ce's bow still hanging between his necks. Sun Ce had no sharp blade in his hands, and in addition to being seriously injured, he was able to kill three assassins with sharp weapons with his bare hands, and his reputation as a little overlord was indeed worthy of his reputation, but seeing that Sun Ce was seriously injured, Cheng Pu did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered someone to carry Sun Ce back to Wuhui for treatment.

Xu Gong was originally the Taishou of Wu County, and when he saw that Sun Ce had the heart of a tiger and a wolf, he sent a secret letter to Cao Cao, saying that Sun Ce was brave and crowned the world, and if he was allowed to sit big, he would be a trouble for the court's henchmen in the future. However, when the envoy crossed the river, he was intercepted by the Wu soldiers of the river defense and reported to Sun Ce. Sun Ce was originally a fiery temper, and when he heard that Xu Gong's elbow was turned out, he became angry and sent someone to pretend to invite Xu Gong to discuss the matter. Xu Gongzhi, Sun Ce threw the book on the ground in anger, and said: "Xu Gong, I treat you well, how can you do such a thing?" So he beheaded Xu Gong and took his family. However, the news of Xu Gong's killing leaked, and many of the people escaped, and the grass could not be eradicated, so there is today's disaster.

Sun Ce was injured and returned, and the military medicine craftsman treated his wounds, and found that the wound was black, and the suspected arrow was poisonous, and it was obvious that he could not cure it with his medical skills, so he said: "This arrow is poisonous, and it has entered the muscles of the prince, and it cannot be treated by Huatuo." ”

So Sun Ce urgently summoned Hua Tuo to heal, but he didn't realize that Hua Tuo had gone to the Central Plains, and there were apprentices in Wu County. Hua Tuo's apprentice has studied under Hua Tuo for many years, and his medical skills are also quite exquisite, bandaging the sores for Sun Ce, prescribing a prescription, and admonishing: "The arrow is poisonous, the poison has entered the bones, fortunately there is a prescription left by the teacher, the prince takes it in the morning and evening, and it will be cured soon, but it must be recuperated for 100 days, so that it can be safe, if the anger is excited, the old sores recur, there will be life worries." ”

Sun Ce was originally a violent temper, how could he calm down to heal his injuries, irritable and abnormal, looking in the mirror, seeing the wounds on his face, resentful of himself, and often angry with his subordinates.

After more than ten days, Zhou Yu heard about Sun Ce's injury in Chaisangguan, so he rushed back to Qu'a to visit, and saw that Sun Ce was no longer in serious trouble, so he was much more relieved.

"Is there something going on over there in Jiangbei?" Sun Ce asked Zhou Yudao.

Zhou Yu said: "Liu Zetun's troops in Lu'an seem to have the intention of marching into Jiangxia. ”

Sun Ce was shocked, Jingzhou was the strategic target that Jiangdong had already set, and now Liu Zetun's troops in Lu'an were obviously intent on getting involved in Jingzhou, and he wanted to get a piece of the pie from Jiangdong's plate, how could Sun Ce tolerate it. Sun Ce hurriedly ordered the attendant to take the map over, and pointed at it for a moment, frowning.

After Liu Xuan's death, the position of Yangzhou Assassin became vacant, and Sun Ce went to the court to ask for the position of Yangzhou Assassin. But Cao Cao ignored him at all, but instead promoted the position of Yangzhou Assassin to Yangzhou Mu, which was led by Liu Zelai, Xuzhou Mu, which made Sun Ce quite jealous. Although Yangzhou has six counties under its jurisdiction, and the seat of governance is in Shouchun, Liu Ze occupies the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang, and occupies Shouchun, so it is okay to be the pastor of Yangzhou. But since then, the four counties of Jiangdong have become his jurisdiction, which makes Sun Ce somewhat uncomfortable, first, he is a Huiji Taishou, since he is a subordinate of Yangzhou Mu, obviously a prince on an equal footing, now Sun Ce has to submit to Liu Ze's subordinates, the second is that Liu Ze is in charge of Yangzhou Mu, which has more power than the history of the assassin, and can appoint and dismiss officials of 2,000 stones, including him, the Huiji Taishou family, has the right to go, once Liu Ze intends to get involved in Jiangdong, he will appoint and dismiss the officials of the four counties of Jiangdong at will, That's also a justifiable thing, although you can disobey the order, but after all, in terms of etiquette, you lost the first ride.

What made Sun Ce even more depressed was that after Liu Ze pacified Yuan Shu, he got the jade seal of the country, and he did not refuse to have it for himself but handed it over to the court, and the Son of Heaven was overjoyed, not only let Liu Ze lead Xu Yang Erzhou, but also named King Jing. Wang Jue is definitely one level higher than the Marquis, Sun Ce's Marquis of Wucheng is still sitting in the shadow of his father's merits, and Liu Ze is now the King of Jing, and he has even more suppressed Sun Ce. Now whether it is an official position or a knighthood, Sun Ce is a little shorter than Liu Ze, which makes the arrogant Sun Ce how can he swallow his breath.

Jingzhou is the eternal pain of the Sun family in Jiangdong, Sun Ce's father Sun Jian died in Jingzhou, Sun Ce and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu have a blood feud but Dai Tian, after Sun Ce sits in Jiangdong, he often wants to avenge his father's death. This is one of them. The second is Sun Ce's ambition at this time, he is no longer satisfied with only being a prince who is partial to the southeast, winning the world, chasing the Central Plains, is his ultimate dream, Liu Ze is like a fierce lion, male distance from Xu Huai, blocking Sun Ce's way north to the Central Plains, Sun Ce wants to plot the world, he has to take Jingzhou first,. Establish the southeast of the country, must take Jingxiang, Jingzhou and Jiangdong share the danger of the Yangtze River, from Jingzhou to the east, Jiangdong land has no danger to rely on, only to seize Jingzhou, in order to sit on half of the country, and the strong enemy in the north to contend with.

After pacifying Yuzhang, Sun Ce ordered Zhou Yu to lead the naval army to be stationed in Chaisang Pass, recruit the naval army, actively practice, raise grain and grass, and be ready to march into Jiangxia at any time. According to Sun Ce's plan, he could launch an attack on Jiangxia at the end of this year or the beginning of next year at the latest, but the latest movements of the Xuzhou army made him uneasy, once Liu Ze took Jiangxia or even the entire Jingzhou, the situation would be extremely unfavorable to Jiangdong, because it would be even more difficult to recapture Jingzhou from Liu Ze.

Sun Cejian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Gong Jin, pass on my military order, and the land and water armies will immediately be fully equipped and attack Jiangxia!" (To be continued......)
