On the second day after Sun Cebu crossed the river, rumors spread in Moling City, and the dust was rising, as if someone deliberately let off wind in the city, preaching all kinds of the past of Zhenrong, and even claimed that when Sun Cebu killed, he would fight back and attack Moling with Sun Cebu.

The news spread quickly, and it spread throughout the city in a few hours, and also spread to the Rongrong outside the city, although he did not really take refuge in Xue Li, but he did not have the heart to defect, this rumor made him very anxious, and he had to be wary of Xue Li.

In the evening, Sun Ce's troops arrived at 30 miles outside the city of Moling, and all the villages they passed through were groups of young men in groups of three or five, who were under Sun Ce's command, and by the time they were counted at night, there were nearly 5,000 people.

Sun Ce explained the siege of the city tomorrow, and when he returned to the living tent, Da Qiao had fallen asleep on the couch. Under the flickering oil lamp, her sleeping face was quiet and beautiful, as if she could instantly wash away the lead on his body. Sun Ce pulled up the thin quilt on the side and covered it for Da Qiao, but it startled her light sleep. When Da Qiao saw Sun Ce, he immediately stood up: "You're back...... I was waiting for you, but somehow I fell asleep. ”

"It's cool at night, put on a dress quickly", Sun Ce picked up the red silk cloak next to the couch and gently put it on Da Qiao's shoulder, "Madame has worked hard in the past two days, it's good to rest more." ”

Sun Ce smiled very badly, his tone was frivolous, as if he meant something, Da Qiao glanced at him with a red face: "I left you food on the case, I will attack the city early tomorrow morning, go and use it, rest early." ”

"I'm not here, you must not have eaten yet, come, let's go together."

Sun Ce led Da Qiao to the front hall, and the two sat in front of the desk. Da Qiao served a bowl of porridge for Sun Ce, Sun Ce took it, but blew it to Da Qiao's mouth: "Hungry, right?" ”

Da Qiao sipped shyly: "You eat it yourself, don't be like this, it's embarrassing." ”

"I was ashamed last night, but what are I ashamed of now?"

Knowing that Sun Ce was deliberately teasing himself, Da Qiao held back his shyness and said, "By the way, do you have any news of Gongzi Zhou these days?" Wan'er has been with him for so long, and she doesn't care about my sister at all. ”

Thinking of Xiao Qiao, Sun Ce couldn't help choking, and said while coughing: "Ying'er, the matter of my sister-in-law, I was afraid that you would be worried, so I never told you that she and Gongjin jumped off the cliff in distress when they went to Huashan, but now it is very good, and Gongjin is raised from her father's house in Wanling, and I will send someone to pick her up in a few days." ”

Hearing this, Da Qiao stood up in shock, and asked urgently with teary eyes, "Jumping off the cliff?" What the hell is going on? Why didn't you tell me? ”

Sun Ce pulled her to sit down, and said with good words: "It's because I'm afraid that you're like this, so I don't dare to tell you that according to Gongjin's letter, the sister-in-law should have jumped off the cliff to save him." Ying'er doesn't have to worry, you'll be able to see each other in a few days...... My sister-in-law is a good boy, and I won't scold her in the future. ”

Thinking of Xiao Qiao's injury, Da Qiao felt distressed and blamed himself. Sun Ce rolled his eyes and sighed very inappropriately: "Speaking of which, my sister-in-law is really powerful, I know so many people, and I have never heard of anyone jumping off a cliff and still alive......"

When Da Qiao heard this, his face sank: "How can there be a brother-in-law like you, not only does he not care about her, but he also talks cool things." ”

Seeing that Da Qiao was angry, Sun Ce said with a hippie smile: "I didn't mean that, Ying'er must not be angry, I will let someone pick up my sister-in-law back tomorrow, okay?" ”

Da Qiao was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "My father asked me to take Wan'er well, but I hurt her without knowing it, how can I not blame myself?" Sun Lang, do you know, I really think that my father is old, and the letter that came that day actually forgot to avoid my grandfather's name......"

"My father-in-law is still recuperating from his injuries outside Xuzhou City, and he has neither been in battle nor idle. When I gain a foothold in Jiangdong, I will definitely find a way to pick him up. ”

Da Qiao knew that his father was loyal to the Yuan family, but he was unwilling to refuse Sun Ce's kindness, so he leaned on his shoulder and said obediently: "Sun Lang, thank you...... In addition to this, I have a reluctant request, and I hope you will grant me. ”

Sun Ce and Da Qiao have a very strong relationship, although the etiquette is incomplete, but in each other's hearts, they are married and affectionate. Now that Da Qiao suddenly used such serious words, he couldn't help but make Sun Ce a little surprised: "Even if you ask me to pick the stars in the sky for you, I won't refuse." What is required, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

The next day, when the heavens were bright, Sun Ce ordered the four generals of Cheng, Huang, Zhu, and Han to lead 3,000 men to besiege Moling City, and he himself led 2,000 men to surround Zhenrong's camp.

The sound of drums outside the gate shook the sky, knocking on the door so terrified that he ordered the camp gate to be closed tightly and held out, in a vain attempt to force Sun Ce's troops to retreat by delaying time.

Sun Ce rode a Dawan horse, led a group of horses, came to the front of the camp and shouted: "Zhenrong, don't resist stubbornly, I have defeated Fan Neng and Zhang Ying the day before yesterday, and captured Niuzhu, your grain and grass industry can no longer be supplied!" And the immoral things you have done before, which are well known to all, and the one in the city is also very angry, and he has promised me that as long as I do not attack Moling, he will not send troops to save you. You touch the head on your neck and think about whether to open the camp and surrender, or wait until you starve to death, as evidenced by letters, you can do it yourself! With that, Sun Ce waved his hand, and Lu Meng, who had been waiting for a long time at his side, pulled his bow and arrow, and firmly nailed a letter to the beam of the door of the tent a hundred steps away.

Sun Cejun had such a superior archery skill in the army, Zhen Rong couldn't help but be shocked, he stroked his chest and smoothed his breath for a long time before letting his subordinates take the trust of him. The letter was really in Xue Li's handwriting, and the content was no different from what Sun Ce said, he was so angry that he almost wanted to spit blood, and his heart gradually became murderous.

In this way, the whole day, Zhenrong can still bear it, but his military camp is rumored, grass and trees are soldiers, just the next morning, when they are on the verge of despair, Sun Ce's troops suddenly came to the news, saying that Liu Xian's remaining troops attacked Niuzhu, so Sun Ce's troops Mingjin collected troops, and even the besieging generals Cheng Huang, Zhu and Han Si also died down and galloped back to Niuzhu to relieve the siege.

I heard that Sun Ce led his troops to retreat, and Xue Li and others in Moling City celebrated with their crowns, but Xue Li had led troops for many years and had experienced experience, so he was worried that there was fraud in it, so he still closed the city gate. Until ten o'clock in the evening, the news came that Sun Ce had been wounded by an arrow in the battle and was dying.

Xue Li was overjoyed, and he immediately sent someone to invite the Rong Rong outside the city to have a big banquet in the city. Zhen Rong naturally felt that this was a Hongmen banquet, with a gloomy face, he ordered his subordinates to pour out of the camp and ambush outside the city, while he himself wrapped seven or eight swords around his waist and led several cadres into the city to attend the banquet.

At the banquet, Di Rong stared at Xue Li's every move throughout the whole process, the so-called "missing axe and suspicious neighbor" was probably good, no matter how Di Rong looked at Xue Li, he felt that something was not quite right. Coincidentally, just when Zhen Rong thought that he couldn't wait any longer and had to strike first, Xue Li was so angry that he accidentally dropped the wine cup on the ground.

It didn't matter if he fell, Zhen Rong thought that Xue Li was throwing the cup, and wanted to kill himself, so he jumped up, stepped forward with an arrow, and stabbed Xue Li to death. The generals under the Zhenrong are not fuel-efficient lamps, they picked up the torches while fighting, and threw all their strength to the barracks, the flames splashed everywhere, and the fire was raging.

Zhen Rong would never know that although Xue Li hated what he did, he did not have the intention of killing him, and that the letter written by Xue Li to Sun Ce was forged by Lu Fan, who had just joined Sun Ce's account as a scholar. This person was originally a county official in Runan County, dignified in appearance, and came to Shouchun for refuge, and later heard that Sun Ce wanted to go to Jiangdong, so he led more than 100 people under his command to defect together. He is an extraordinary calligrapher, especially good at imitating handwriting, and this time he used this technique to help Sun Ce a lot.

Hearing that Zhenrong and Xue Lihuo were merging, Sun Ce laughed heartily, and immediately led his troops to attack again from Niuzhu and came to Moling City. Before going into battle, he pulled Lu Meng's shirt and came to the dense forest behind the military formation.

"What is the young general doing?" Lu Meng was dragged by Sun Ce to the point of pain, and he couldn't help complaining.

Sun Ce pointed to the armor on Lu Meng's body, and said irrefutably: "Take off the armor." ”

Lu Meng subconsciously went to Ichigo's chest: "Huh? Why? ”

Sun Ce said impatiently: "You are not a girl's family, how can you change your armor and twist and pinch", after speaking, Sun Ce took off his armor three or two times, and began to lift Lu Meng's armor again.

"Don't, I'll take it off myself", Lu Meng turned around and took off his armor.

After the replacement was completed, Sun Ce dragged Lu Meng out of the forest again, and the two walked a few steps side by side, Sun Ce suddenly tripped Lu Meng with a sweeping leg, squatted down, and pressed his body stiffly: "Don't move......"

This embarrassing posture startled Lu Meng, and he pleaded in a low voice, "Major General...... Don't......"

"Don't speak! Don't move! You won't be allowed to eat lunch again! As he spoke, Sun Ce grabbed Lu Meng's shoulders and stared straight at him with his eyes.

Lu Meng didn't know why his young general suddenly became animalistic, so he was about to cry: "Young general, I'm not a young lady, don't ...... it"

Sun Ce didn't know that Lu Meng was thinking about this nonsense, he shook Lu Meng's body vigorously with both hands, and shouted, "Young General! Major General, what's wrong with you! ”

Under Sun Ce's shaking, Lu Meng's upper and lower jaws fought, and he almost bit his tongue, but he was as stunned as a square piece of wood: When did I become a major general?

Before Lu Meng could react, Sun Ce got up suddenly, raised his hands above his head, and beckoned to the two soldiers carrying wooden stretchers behind the military formation: "Come here!" The Major General is sick! I'm afraid it won't work! ”

The two soldiers saw the fallen man wearing the commander's armor from a distance, and exclaimed, "What's wrong with the young general?" ”

This shout didn't matter, causing the soldiers in the military formation to look back, and when they saw Lu Meng who was lying on the ground wearing the commander's armor, they all thought it was Sun Ce. One of the soldiers was very eye-catching, he had only been put into Sun Ce's tent in the past few days, he secretly left the battle under the pretext of relieving his hands, and after getting out of everyone's sight, he took three steps and made two steps, and crawled back to the Zhenrong camp hundreds of zhang away, and said loudly: "Report! Congratulations to the generals! Sun Bofu is dead! ”

The audience was in an uproar, and Zhen Rong's face was happy, and then he retracted and glared at the man fiercely: "Is the news true?" If there is half a lie, General Ben will cut off your dog's head! ”

"Genus...... The subordinates saw with their own eyes that Sun Bofu was ill, fell to the ground in the rear of the military formation, let his subordinates shout, and never got up again! ”

Zhen Rong was still suspicious, looking at the military doctors under the tent, several of them were originally from Xue Li's department, Fang experienced last night's bloody storm, and was so scared that he echoed with an embarrassed smile: "It seems that the rumors that Sun Bofu was hit by an arrow are indeed true, he should have had an arrow sore attack and died violently." ”

The killing of Xue Li last night greatly increased Zhen Rong's confidence, and he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates: "Sun Bofu's stinky boy is finally dead!" What a retribution in this world! Pass on our military order, and the whole army will go out and defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop! ”

Outside the Moling City, the sound of drums shook the sky, and Zhenrong poured out his nest and led 10,000 people to confront Sun Cejun.

Compared with the neatly lined army on the opposite side, Sun Ce's troops were sparsely staffed, and most of them were mainly cavalry.

Zhen Rong hugged his arms and chest, his conceit was extraordinary, and he said loudly to the left and right: "Sun Bofu is dead, break the remnants of the army, just today!" Follow me, brethren! As he spoke, he raised his long knife and rode his horse to charge. For a time, the shouting of killing shook the sky. Sun Cejun's hundreds of rangers couldn't resist such a charge at all, and they could be said to be crushed at the touch of a button, and fled into the forest in a panic.

Through the jungle, the road narrows sharply and the slopes on both sides rise. Zhen Rong did not suspect that there was fraud, and he still chased after him. Suddenly, countless arrows flew from behind the hillsides on both sides, and I saw Han Dang and Zhu Zhi leading hundreds of archers to line up in several rows, taking turns to shoot arrows at Zhenrong's pursuers.

This side had just been hit head-on by a rain of arrows, and shouts of killing rang out again in the woods on both sides. Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, two veteran generals with knives in both hands, led a group of sword infantry to cut into the enemy army with an inappropriate force, cutting the enemy in half. The Zhenrong army, which rushed through the woods to pursue one after another, was attacked by the swords in the forest, and it was suddenly chaotic, the Changge in the hands of the infantry could not be used, and the impact of the cavalry was also hindered by the trunks of the trees, and the archers had no distance and no distinction between the enemy and the enemy, and they had no power to fight back. The army of 10,000 people was killed more than 1,000 in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhenrong immediately reined in his horse's head and fled back to the camp in a puff of smoke. Fang left the camp of more than 10,000 people, but only a few hundred escaped. The rest of the soldiers were originally Xue Li's subordinates, how could they die for Zhenrong, they all laid down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.

Sun Ce didn't know when he changed back into the golden helmet and silver armor, and was covered in a red cloak, and rode a Dawan horse to the outside of the camp, pointing a silver gun at the sky, and shouting loudly: "How is Sun Lang!" ”

Thousands of soldiers also shouted in unison, "How is Sun Lang!" "The momentum is like a rainbow, straight to the sky. Zhen Rong trembled and opened the curtain a crack, and saw that Sun Ce was still alive and well, as handsome as a general, he was so frightened that he fell down on the spot, and before it was late at night, he died and was no longer conscious.

After Da Qiao followed the supply troops to the position, she looked at Sun Ce's posture from afar and realized that this was the first time she had seen him fight. Such a handsome and invincible spirit made Da Qiao's heart gallop and mixed feelings.

Jiang Qin's wife, Cai'er, was with Da Qiao, and when she was stunned, Cai'er couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Da Qiao felt out of shape, hurriedly collected his thoughts, and his face was gloomy: "What are you laughing at......"

Cai'er covered her mouth and said: "Don't hide it from the young lady, when I first saw you outside Shucheng, I was thinking, what kind of man is worthy of such a beautiful girl?" Now that I see the young general, I know that the marriage is predetermined, and we don't have to worry about it at all. ”

Da Qiao was thin-skinned, and after being teased like this, his little face was so red that he seemed to be dripping blood: "Don't make fun of me, let's pack up and get ready to go." ”

On the shore of Chaohu Lake, hundreds of fishing boats are connected in pairs, floating in the blue water and cross waves. Zhou Yu was dressed in white and stood opposite Lu Su, and when he saw that the recruited soldiers were all pretending to be fishermen and boarding the boat, he bowed his hand and said: "As soon as I go, I will bother my brother with my son." ”

Lu Su returned the salute with a smile: "You and I don't have to be so polite, the waterway is turbulent, and I hope to cherish it." ”

It was not early, Zhou Yu did not delay any longer, picked up his clothes and boarded the ship. The boatmen raised their flags, and the fleet immediately sailed away from the shore.

The green ink smudged the landscape, hundreds of boats competed for the stream, Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu's figure gradually moving away, and suddenly sighed in his heart.

The sun is setting, the wind is rising, and the dragon is out of the abyss.
