In the evening, the smoke of the cooking stove curled under the Bagong Mountain, and the soldiers set up a cluster of fires, brought the cauldron, set up the stove and began to burn the fire.

An hour ago, Sun Ce led the army to confront Zu Lang, feigning a strong attack, while Zhou Yu and Lu Meng led more than ten elite soldiers to climb the mountain from the trail, killing more than 30 people guarding the granary, and then loaded all the surplus grain into the truck and threw it all down the cliff. By the time the thieves found out, it was too late. If you go down the mountain to find food, you will be captured alive, and if you don't go down the mountain, you will run out of food and grass, and the thieves and soldiers will not be able to advance or retreat, squatting on the foot of the mountain, watching Yuan Jun make a fire and make rice.

Eight hundred tents and one hundred pots, Sun Ce made a special trip to find more than ten mothers-in-law from Shouchun City, and they made all the local hometown dishes, and the fragrance of rice spread all the way to the hillside, causing the bandits to swallow their saliva.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu shuttled through the formation together, and Lu Meng hurried over and asked in a low voice, "My lord, young general, do you want to start now?" ”

Zhou Yu raised his eyes to look at Bagong Mountain at sunset, and said with a smile: "It's not time to ...... now."

Lu Meng immediately understood what Zhou Yu meant and retreated. Sun Ce shook his hands in front of Zhou Yu's eyes: "The vision is pretty good, I thought you wouldn't be able to see it really......"

Zhou Yu was angry and funny, and said coldly: "Be more restrained, don't let others look suspicious." ”

The remnant sun is slanting westward, fighting for a day, but at this time they are going to be hungry, and the thieves can't help but complain. Those who have good deeds call for friends and want to go down the mountain to snatch. But the 200 archers had already laid an ambush, and immediately waited for them with bows and arrows, and shot the bandits to death.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Sun Ce rode a war horse, danced a twelve-edged silver spear, and shouted and scolded at the bottom of the mountain: "Zu Lang is as timid as a deer!" Those who went with him deserved to have no food! If you want to eat, put down your knives and guns! If you come, you will be a guest, and you will be paid with food! ”

Hundreds of soldiers under the mountain also followed Sun Ce, shouting in unison over and over again, resounding throughout the mountain. At first, the bandits were still hesitating, but after fighting all day, they were already hungry, and when they smelled the taste of their hometown, most of them had no fighting spirit, and the swords in their hands relaxed, you look at me, I look at you, and I look tired.

On the half-slope, there is a stone bench formed one day, with a high back and a wide seat, which looks very magnificent. Today, Zu Lang is sitting here, and he has a bit of strategizing and winning a thousand miles. But at this moment, he could no longer sit still, got up and shouted: "Whoever dares to go down the mountain will be executed immediately!" ”

In the military formation, Zhou Yu stood in a remote corner to avoid people's eyes and ears, and quietly watched the situation. Mountain bandits are no better than soldiers, and they have no ambition to match, and what they want for is nothing more than abundant food and clothing. Today's plan is better than the embattled siege of the year. Xiang Yu's Chu army's iron cavalry still can't escape, and these thieves and bandits will definitely not have such a strong will. Sure enough, there was a faint sound of Zu Lang killing the defector thief at the foot of the mountain. Zhou Yu's fists were clenched, his knuckles were bulging white, today's battle against Zu Lang was the first battle in his life with Sun Ce, even at this stage, he still didn't dare to relax a bit.

Zhou Yu slowly closed his eyes and quietly listened to the sound on the mountain. Sun Ce and Lu Meng were still shouting over and over again, and in about a moment of incense, Huo Ran, one of the brave thieves, got up, raised his arms, and led seven or eight people to run down the mountain together. Zu Lang sent people to chase after him, but the law did not blame the public, and several people still fled to the bottom of the mountain smoothly. Yuan Jun did not hurt them in the slightest, and when they walked to the stove, the soldiers around them invited them to sit down and eat. When the rest of the thieves on the mountain saw this, they couldn't hold back any longer, so they dropped their weapons one after another and rushed down the mountain, and the scene was very spectacular.

Zhou Yu let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and looked at Sun Ce, smiling extremely brightly, but it was hidden under the iron mask, and it was difficult to see. It was getting dark, and the thieves had dinner and all raised their hands. Ji Ling, the general of the Yuan army, led his troops forward to collect the aftermath. At this moment, Lu Meng stepped forward and said, "Young General, our people have been killed at the foot of the mountain, but we have not seen Zu Lang himself."

Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "That thief is greedy by nature, and he will not let go so easily. Continue to search one by one, and those who provide clues will be rewarded with five hundred! ”

Lu Meng flattened his mouth and replied weakly. Sun Ce, a poor and white general, where did he get the five hundred gold? Speaking of which, the burden did not fall on him.

Just as Lu Meng was full of grumbling and reluctantly turned around and plunged into the vast crowd, suddenly a thief with a helmet covering his face took out the sword hidden in his arms, jumped forward, and stabbed Sun Ce coldly.

A few zhang away, Zhou Yu happened to see this scene, he couldn't care about his identity anymore, and shouted loudly: "Bo Fu beware!" ”

Hearing only the loud sound of "Qiang", Sun Ce used the silver spear in his hand to block the sword that pierced his heart. The person in front of him raised his head, revealing a scarred face, his cheek muscles couldn't help beating, and he wrestled with Sun Ce with all his might. The blade of the sword slowly moved forward, only a fraction of a centimeter away from Sun Ce's heart, but Sun Ce smiled and suddenly hit the sword with force: "It's you who are waiting, Zu Lang!" ”

Zu Lang was surprised to hear Sun Ce, who had never met before, call out his name, he took a few steps back, panting: "Who are you?" Get your name in! ”

Sun Ce crossed the silver spear and said loudly: "If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, I am Sun Ce in Jiangdu!" ”

Sun Ce? Haven't heard of it at all. Zu Lang snorted coldly: "Good boy, if you have real skills, you can fight a heads-up duel with me, if you can win me, my Zu Lang is at your disposal!" ”

Seeing that more than 10,000 soldiers from all directions were looking at him, Sun Ce refused to let go of the good opportunity of this army's neutrality, he untied his cloak, and said with a silver gun: "If you want to fight, you can fight, don't talk nonsense!" ”

When the soldiers saw that the battle was about to begin, they consciously moved out of a circular open space. Zu Lang held the sword in his hand, Sun Ce set up the silver spear, and both of them put on a posture, looking for each other's flaws.

At this moment, Lu Meng opened the crowd, came to the first row, put his hands to his mouth, and shouted hysterically with the strength of breastfeeding: "The young general is mighty!" ”

Sun Ce was concentrating on preparing for the battle, but at this time he was frightened by Lu Meng, he looked back, and saw that Lu Meng was elated, as if waiting to watch a monkey show, while Zhou Yu on his side clenched his fists, as if he was worried about himself. Taking advantage of Sun Ce's stunned kung fu, Zu Lang pounced forward with a tiger, and the blade of the sword came straight to the middle.

Hearing only a sonorous sound, Sun Ce blocked this tricky blow with the silver spear in his hand, but Zu Lang's strength was extremely strong, Sun Ce couldn't help but retreat again and again, and after standing still, he re-set his posture. Zu Lang took the opportunity to press forward aggressively, and kept stabbing each other with his sword, until he wanted to force Sun Ce into the crowd. Everyone was busy scattering, but Sun Ce suddenly turned around at the last moment, swept around with the silver gun in his hand, and stabbed Zu Lang's right leg. Zu Lang couldn't dodge, staggered two steps, Sun Ce seized the opportunity to stab one after another, and the blade pressed close to Zu Lang's head. Zu Lang flashed back with his waist forcefully, but his turban was still broken by the spear, and his long hair was draped down abruptly, messy in the east wind

Seeing Sun Ce's complete victory, hundreds of people shouted in unison: "Mighty and mighty!" ”

Seeing that he was not Sun Ce's opponent, Zu Lang stood up straight, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground: "Your subordinates are defeated, you are willing to gamble and lose, and if you want to kill or chop, you will come!" Before the words fell, Zu Lang pursed his lips, closed his eyes, and made a restrained posture.

Everyone cheered, and Lu Meng was even more about to shout. Sun Ce raised his silver spear, smug himself to everyone, and then hurried forward, wanting to capture Zu Lang.

"Major General, slow down!" Zhou Yu, who was wearing an iron face, stepped forward in a cold voice, "Zu Lang, what is hidden in your left sleeve?" Can I take it out? ”

When Sun Ce and Zu Lang were fighting, Zhou Yu had been observing carefully, and when he saw that Zu Lang's left hand was always inadvertently pinching and pulling the cuffs, and the movements were quite unnatural, he knew that he must have stolen the murder weapon.

Seeing that his trick was exposed, Zu Lang suddenly threw out the dagger in his sleeve and went straight to Sun Ce's door. Sun Ce was already prepared, and as soon as he dodged, the silver spear was horizontal, and he shot the dagger down.

Like flowing water, Zu Lang didn't even see the move clearly, but he saw that Sun Ce was close to him, and the spear was stopping between his throats, and he laughed wildly: "I wanted to play more with you, but if you want to ruin my face, do you know how many girls will be sad?" Before the words fell, Sun Ce slammed Zu Lang's head with the back of his gun, Zu Lang couldn't dodge, his eyes rolled white, and he fell straight down.

Seeing that Zu Lang was knocked down, the soldiers on the left and right immediately surrounded him and tied him up. Lu Meng immediately shouted: "Zu Lang has caught it!" Zu Lang caught it! ”

The soldiers shouted in unison. Seeing that the leader was captured, the few remaining thieves on the mountain no longer had any reason to resist stubbornly, and they all went down the mountain and surrendered.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu captured Zu Langsheng back to the camp without spending a single soldier, and captured countless defective thieves.

In the tent, Qiao Rui sat beside Yuan Shu, coughing and saying, "Lord, that young man is a little too familiar. ”

Yuan Shu sighed lightly: "You can see it too...... Brother Wentai has been dead for five years, but I didn't expect him to have such a brave son. If Brother Wentai knows what to do, he should also be blind. ”

The other generals in the tent didn't want to listen to Yuan Shu and Qiao Rui's nostalgia, only to see Ji Ling step forward and ask urgently: "Lord, do you really want to give the position of Jiujiang Taishou to that bastard boy of unknown origin?" ”

Yuan Shu pondered for a long time, and sighed: "Back then, Brother Wentai was under the lonely tent, Yu Gu fought side by side, and rescued Gu Yu in crisis several times. But the world is so chaotic, even if it is given to him, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to sit firmly. General Joe, what do you think? ”

Qiao Rui didn't understand why Yuan Shu would ask his opinion, and was in a dilemma for a while, letting Xiao Qiao go to find Sun Ce was originally for his selfishness, who would have thought that Sun Ce would come to the barracks by himself and become famous in a war, no matter how he expressed his position at this time, he was afraid that he would be criticized, Qiao Rui coughed a few times fiercely, and replied: "The lord knows, Qiao is a rough man, he has never understood how to use people, the lord is wise and martial, and please make a decision." ”

Ji Ling refused to see Jiujiang Taishou being taken away by Sun Ce, he rolled his eyes, and said to Yuan Shu: "Lord, General Sun Shao's soldiers are not bloody, and they can't serve the public in the end." And he is too young and has no prestige, how can he hold an important position in a county? Your Majesty heard that Sun Jian's widowed wife, Mrs. Wu, is now in Shouchun City, and since the lord wants to reward them, he might as well reward their mother and son with some gold and silver, so that they can live their lives......"

Hearing that Mrs. Wu was in Shouchun, Yuan Shu raised his forehead and sighed: "Mrs. Wu is in Shouchun, why don't you report it?" Lone should have gone to visit a long time ago...... Someone, herald! Collect the troops and return to the camp, and then the high-ranking soldiers of the whole army and Lone together move to Shouchun! ”
