Chapter 58: Desperate Little Overlord
Sun Ce was dejected with a thousand remnants of soldiers, and had no face to face Yuan Shu, so he had to retreat to Liyang (a small city in the north of the Yangtze River) to settle down, and at the same time sent people to cross the river, contact his uncle Wu Jing, who was the Taishou of Danyang, and his cousin Sun Ben, who was the captain of Danyang, and asked them to attack Wu County together, and implement the plan of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", and when Jiao Zhongqing (Lu Bu) returned to aid Wu County, he set up an ambush at the foot of Dantu Mountain and defeated this Yangzhou assassin in one fell swoop.
Dantu Mountain stands on the wall of the river, the cliff is abrupt, the terrain is dangerous, towering on the shore of the big river, the mountain is strangely steep, the shape resembles a giant dragon, it has the reputation of "the key to the Yangtze River" since ancient times, it has always been the place where the soldiers must fight, and it is the natural pass that guards the Lujiang River to reach Wu County through the Yangtze River.
Wu Jing received Sun Ce's call for help, and immediately led the army with Sun Ben to kill Wu County, and answered Sun Ce across the river, after the family met, they gathered to drink and talk, and talked to each other about how difficult life is, and they didn't feel drunk drunk, Sun Ben's brother Sun Fu (also Sun Ce's cousin) thanked Jiao Zhongqing for taking in his clansmen to settle down in Danyang, and never drove the children of the Sun family out of Jiangdong because of the battle with Sun Ce, and never harmed Sun Ce because Sun Ce repeatedly repented, so he caught Sun Ce at the banquet and gave it to Jiao Zhongqing (Lu Bu) who led the army back to Wu County.
The plan to "encircle Wei and save Zhao" went bankrupt.
was captured alive in this way, of course Sun Ce was not convinced, and he wanted to fight with Lu Bu in Jiangdong again.
Lu Bu laughed and let him go again.
So far, Sun Ce has been arrested five times and released five times.
Sun Ce's face was difficult to see the camp of Yangzhou Thorn Shi, and he returned to his uncle Wu Jing's military camp, and as soon as he entered the tent, he pulled out his sword and pointed at Sun Fu angrily, "If there is any unhappiness between brothers, you can tell each other bluntly, why do you want to eat inside and outside and make outsiders laugh?" ”
Sun Fu was speechless in shame. Sun Ce then deceived himself to kill Sun Fu, thanks to Wu Jing and Sun Ben to stop him, which saved Sun Fu's life, and then, Wu Jing cut Sun Fu's troops and asked him to return to Danyang to take care of his clansmen.
After Sun Fu left, the three uncles and nephews glanced at each other, and each sighed.
Even Wu Jing and Sun Ben, after the failure of the sneak attack on Wu County, were a little embarrassed to continue to be enemies of Jiao Zhongqing.
To be honest, they were really impressed by Jiao Zhongqing's mind, and if they changed to a bad-tempered assassin, let alone five captures and five verticals, the first time they faced the enemy Sun Ce, they would behead him under the horse.
- Because that's how Sun Ce treats his opponent.
But Jiao Zhongqing did not get angry with Sun Ce because of Sun Ce, and let Sun Ce go again and again, allowing him to be his enemy.
This shows the sincerity of the solicitation.
Sun Cewu is not as good as people, and his literature is not as good as people, and he is nominally an official and a general in the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Assassin History, so what is the point of fighting with others? Although the imperial court was held in the hands of Li Dao Guo Yan, the legitimacy of the Han dynasty is still unquestionable.
The martial arts, the bright and the dark, can't fight others, so why don't you vote?
Of course, thinking so, considering Sun Ce's strong character, Wu Jing and Sun Ben both chose to remain silent.
Sun Ce didn't know what his uncle and cousin thought, after having 10,000 soldiers and horses from his uncle and cousin, he felt that he still had the strength to fight with Jiao Zhongqing.
Sun Ce recruited more than 5,000 soldiers in Danyang, and asked his cousin Sun Ben to invite Zhen Rong, Xue Li and others, who were previously attached to Jiao Zhongqing (Lu Bu), but were confiscated most of the soldiers and horses, and asked Yan Baihu and other bandits nearby to help in the war.
In just a few days, Sun Ce gathered out forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses, rubbing his fists and grinding his palms to fight with Lu Bu.
On this day, when Sun Ce was arranging for the army to march to Wu County for a decisive battle with Lü Bu, Lü Bu led the army to the front of the big camp. Sun Ce was shocked, and immediately led the generals out of the village to fight.
The two sides fought a big battle on the south bank of Taihu Lake in the lower reaches of Tiaoxi (Tiaoxi is located in Huzhou), and they each withdrew their troops and returned to their camps.
After Sun Ce returned to the camp, his confidence increased greatly, and he was waiting for the next day to have a showdown with Jiao Zhongqing.
Caught off guard, Sun Ce was defeated, Yan Baihu was killed on the spot, and Sun Ce had to retreat to Danyang with his uncle Wu Jing and cousin Sun Ben.
The remnants of the army marched to Yangxian, and suddenly encountered a fierce general holding a pair of iron halberds, leading the army to meet and block the road.
Sun Ce was shocked, thinking that it was the enemy, so he immediately urged him to step forward and fight with the coming general.
The more he fought, the more Sun Ce felt that something was wrong.
Because the general is not weak, but he has no intention of fighting with him at all, when the two fight, the other party has three points of leeway.
Sun Ce hurriedly stopped, set up a pair of iron halberds, and asked each other anxiously, only then did he know that the person who came was Tai Shici, a native of Donglai, because the yellow scarves in Qingzhou were raging and the war was not stopped, so he led his relatives and a thousand tribes to Jiangdong to take refuge.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the ground, he was stopped by Sun Ce and attacked.
After saying this, the misunderstanding between the two was solved, and they felt that the other party was strong in martial arts and had similar temperaments.
That night, there was a sound of wild laughter in Sun Ce's tent from time to time, which made the soldiers inexplicable, and they didn't know why Sun Ce could laugh so wildly after the fiasco.
Day 2.
Lu Bu was about to divide his troops to chase Sun Ce, but suddenly received a report, saying that Sun Ce and Tai Shici tied their hands and led hundreds of people to come to ask for surrender.
When he heard this, he was immediately surprised.
Hurriedly asked where Wu Jing and Sun Ben were. Have you ever been with you. and learned that Wu Jing and Sun Ben did not come, only Sun Ce and Tai Shici, and five hundred soldiers came to surrender, Lu Bu immediately laughed, and asked the two to be brought in, taken down on the spot, and found a sharp blade from his body to expose Sun Ce's lie of "fake surrender".
When he was tied up again, Sun Ce's eyes widened, and the whole person was stunned, and more of them were still unconvinced.
This plan was a clever plan that he had discussed with Tai Shi Ci all night, and in his opinion, there was no flaw, how could it be seen through in an instant? Hasn't the Yangzhou assassin in front of him been thinking about recruiting him? Why did he come to "surrender", but the other party was still suspicious?
This doesn't make sense!!
In fact, Lu Bu is not sure whether Sun Ce is really surrendering or fake, people are tied up just to be foolproof, if Sun Ce really doesn't have a murder weapon on him, then he can apologize to Sun Ce, anyway, it's just a matter of moving his mouth, it's too simple; But if Sun Ce has a murder weapon on his body, then he will be arrested six times...
I didn't expect it to be right.
Hahaha......
Looking at Sun Ce, who was unconvinced, Lu Bu couldn't help laughing, without Zhou Yu by his side, Sun Ce's guy was actually not difficult to deal with.
Sun Ce's chest rose and fell violently, and he said angrily, "My defeat today is due to carelessness, if Your Excellency can capture me seven times, I will be truly convinced." ”
Lu Bu stared at Sun Ce for a long time this time, and looked at the latter uneasily, and beat the drum in his heart, so he ordered someone to release him and Tai Shici.
So far, it has been six captures and six verticals.
On the way back, Sun Ce sat on horseback and looked up to the sky and sighed, silent for a long time, Tai Shici also looked worried.
Wu Jing and Sun Ben all lowered their heads, losing the courage to continue to be enemies with Jiao Zhongqing (Lu Bu).
If a few months ago, someone had told Sun Ce that he was a capricious person, Sun Ce would have scoffed at it; But now, even Sun Ce has doubts about his personality.
In fact, he himself doesn't say that he is a man of his word, at least he can be regarded as a spit and a pit. I don't know what's going on this time, as soon as I get caught, I want to turn the tables, and I want to get caught when I think about turning the tables, it's like entering a dead end, and I can't get out no matter how I go.
Looking back now, it feels like a dream.
Why did he fight to the death with Jiao Zhongqing (Lu Bu) in Jiangdong? Yes, he really can't fight the latter, but this world is so big, he can go to other places to develop, and there is no need to hang himself on the one-third of an acre of land in Jiangdong.
It's really not good, you can still go to Jiaozhou!
Although Jiaozhou is remote, it is vast and rich, and there are many people from the Central Plains who have taken refuge living there, and he can completely start a business there.
Thinking of this, Sun Ce sighed deeply.
Jiaozhou is really remote.
If he did go there, his life would be over.
But if you don't go to Jiaozhou, you have to take refuge in Jiao Zhongqing, and there is no other choice.
Thinking of these, Sun Ce's ears seemed to be filled with shouts and killings all over the mountains and fields, and Jiao Zhongqing's confident laughter.
He really doesn't want to be a subordinate to someone else... Ahh
However, he really can't beat this person!
Can't beat it!
It's so hard!!
