After listening to Brother Nai's words, Sun Jing also echoed: "I didn't expect the old thief Dong Zhuo to have this ability. ”

Sun Jian smiled, and then said: "The elite soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command are all from Xiliang, do you think that the generals under his command can lead such soldiers, without any outstanding ability, can they gain a foothold in the army?" When I was in Xiliang, I also had contact with the generals under his command, all of whom were extraordinary in martial arts and should not be underestimated. Therefore, we must not despise these Xiliang people. ”

Sun Jing finally began to recognize the reality, and said: "In this way, our army really has to fight with twelve points, otherwise it will really suffer." ”

Sun Jian patted his thick thigh and said, "It's not good, I'm afraid that Demou (Cheng Pu's expression) is in danger." ”

Sun Jing was very puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "Why did the eldest brother say this, Brother Demou has always been old and cautious, and he has led the troops to fight with the second brother for many years, and he has rich experience, and now as a pioneer, he leads 5,000 men and horses first, according to his character and ability, even if there is an enemy, he can maneuver around one or two, so as not to fall into a trap?" ”

Sun Jian shook his head and said: "Although the moral strategy is stable, it may not be able to see through the enemy's tricks, I said why did Dong Bai Xiao'er suddenly write to me, it turns out that this letter is secretly dangerous!" In this letter, Dong Baixiaoer first provoked me in his words, challenged me, and then asked me to fight a decisive battle east of Liang County. If I don't dare to fight, wouldn't the people of the world think that I am afraid of Dong Bai Xiaoer, Dong Zhuo, and Xiliangjun. If I should fight, then let Dong Bai Xiaoer be satisfied, the east of Liang County was originally Linru County, its south of Ru water, the fog and dew of the gushing, the north of the Qiongling, the majestic place of bullfighting. Looking east at Rucheng, a hundred pheasants and guns. West Zhan Yi Guan, thousands of peaks in the screen. Its terrain is mostly hilly, hundreds of miles of flat rivers, as far as the eye can see, very suitable for large-scale cavalry to gallop, it is the best place for cavalry operations. The Xiliang Army is good at cavalry, which is what Dong Bai Xiaoer is good at, and it is the shortening of our army. Dong Baixiao'er is attacking my shortcomings with his own strengths at this time! It's a good calculation! ”

Sun Jing listened to his two Sun Jian talk for a long time, and didn't say what he wanted to hear, so he asked again: "What is the connection between this qiē and Brother Demou's danger?" ”

Sun Jian continued to explain: "Youtai, think about the fact that our army is strong and strong, and the enemy is just a yellow-mouthed son in your eyes, if the enemy sends you a letter for no reason, what will you think before you see the content of the letter, and will you think that it is the enemy's weakness?" ”

Sun Jing thought for a while and said, "It's very likely that you think so." ”

Sun Jian said: "That's right, I'm afraid Demou thinks the same way." This is also Dong Bai'er's cleverness, so he sent the letter to Demou, not to our army. This letter is written for me to enlighten in person, and Demou will not look at the content in his heart, so he will think that Dong Bai'er is showing weakness and begging for us to surrender. Our army is not too far behind getting up, if there is any accident, the reinforcements will arrive in two or three hours, and we can hold on for a while by relying on our own ability, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements. As a result, the vigilance of the enemy was reduced, and the guard was relaxed, and as a result, the enemy seized the opportunity, and the enemy took advantage of the time difference of the reinforcements to quickly resolve the battle in a very short time, so that the reinforcements did not have time to support at all. ”

When Sun Jing heard Sun Jian's words, she was a little anxious, and said, "Second brother, I will immediately bring someone to pick up Brother Ying Demou." ”

Before Sun Jian could speak, his eldest son Sun Ce broke in from outside the big tent, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Father, uncle, Uncle Cheng sent someone to report that it has been attacked by the cavalry of the Xiliang Army, and I hope that my father will send someone to support immediately." ”

When Sun Jian heard this, he said secretly: "Sure enough, it is not what I expected!" Dong Bai'er really did so. He didn't reply to Sun Ce's request, nor did he speak, just standing there quietly thinking about something.

As soon as Sun Jing heard the news of the defeat of the vanguard, he was in a hurry, and immediately said loudly: "Second brother, let me immediately lead the troops to pick up Brother Yingdemou!" ”

Sun Jian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's too late, if it is not as I expected, the current Demou has been defeated, even if you lead the men and horses forward, you will not be able to save the defeat." If we could have set off an hour earlier, we would have been able to catch up, but it's a little late. With the ability to seek virtue, it should not be difficult to escape. ”

Sun Ce still knelt on the ground and said, "Father, the child is willing to lead the troops with the third uncle to pick up Uncle Cheng Pu." ”

Sun Jian's face was heavy, and he continued: "It's too late, but don't worry, the vanguard army is not far from our army, and it's getting late, and the Xiliang army doesn't dare to pursue Demou." Take people out and see! It is estimated that after half an hour, it should be able to meet the defeated army of Demou! ”

Sun Jing and Sun Ce responded to the order, went out to order troops, and prepared to receive Cheng Pu.

Sun Jian was alone in the big tent, and said slowly: "It seems that Dong Baixiao'er is going to give me a dismount!" ”

Sun Jing and Sun Ce ordered 5,000 men and horses to go out of the camp gate, and they hadn't gone far yet, and sure enough, they saw a group of men and horses in front of them. With the help of the torches, the two saw that the armor of this group of men and horses was scattered, and many people did not even take weapons, which could be regarded as losing their armor. And quite a few people were injured. Immediately arranged for someone to come forward to check, Sun Jing and Sun Ce took a closer look at Cheng Pu, who was indeed among them, and was slightly injured. Sun Jing muttered in her heart: "Sure enough, as the second brother expected!" ”

When Cheng Pu saw the two, he immediately ignored the injuries on his body, rolled off the horse, knelt on the ground, and said: "The last general Cheng Pu has seen the three generals and the young master. The last general was attacked by the cavalry led by Zhang Liao, the general of the Xiliang Army, and more than half of the soldiers under his command were killed and wounded, and only more than 1,000 people remained. The general of the defeated army, thinking that he was speechless to meet the lord, hoped that the third general and the young master would immediately behead the last general to show the public, and the military law was corrected. ”

Sun Jing and Sun Ce hurriedly stepped forward to help Cheng Pu, only to hear Sun Jing speak: "General Demou is serious, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. This time, General Demou did not investigate for a while, and fell for Dong Bai'er's treacherous scheme, and the strength of the troops was frustrated, the second brother already knew about it, and General Demou did not have to blame himself. This war is not a crime of war, and we will also say something for General Demou. ”

Only then did Cheng Pu stand up, command the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and return to the camp with Sun Jing and Sun Ce, meet Sun Jian, and ask his lord Sun Jian for his guilt.

After Sun Jian saw Cheng Pu, he didn't blame him, but comforted him a few words, asking Cheng Pu to make persistent efforts and make meritorious contributions, so that he could live up to his trust. Cheng Pu is grateful for this!
