Chapter 135: Curse me for a short life, and I will kill him
"Where's the people?"
"It seems that before the siege of the city, I fled to Hefei in the chaos of the people..."
After listening to Jiang Qin's explanation, Sun Ce glanced at Zhou Yu, and they both looked a little unconvinced.
Jiang Qin hurriedly clenched his fists and added: "The last general has interrogated many prisoners, and they confessed that most of the escapees went to Hefei, and if we hadn't come quickly, more people would follow."
Zhou Yu said to himself: "Hefei is an abandoned and deserted city, and it is relatively close to Shouchun, even if these people want to flee, they should flee to the western mountains, which is really incomprehensible..."
"Uh... I know..."
Cai Ji tilted his head back and let Sun Ce notice him.
Sun Ce glanced at Cai Ji and asked playfully, "Let's talk about it, if you say it well, I will spare your life."
"Thank you, General."
Cai Ji kowtowed first, and then his eyebrows fluttered: "Hefei is occupied by Long Xiang, he recently annexed Zheng Bao and his gang, and he has a lot of momentum in the Chaohu area."
"Long Xiang? Who is this?"
Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu suspiciously.
Zhou Yu was also stunned when he heard it, he pinched the bridge of his nose and pondered, thinking of the young man who went to Lu'an to give food and horses that year.
"Could it be that the former commander of Qiaorui, Long Xiang, Long Yunqi?"
"Yes, yes, this is the person."
Cai Ji hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then went to Sun Ce: "General Sun, Qiao Rui has two daughters of Tianxiang, who were robbed by him a few days ago, if you are not satisfied with Yuan Shuji's concubine, you can go to Hefei..."
Sun Ce's eyes lit up, and he said coldly, "Piff, really I came for women?"
"Uh... It's not..."
Seeing that the horse's ass was slapped on the horse's leg, Cai Ji quickly changed the topic and remedied: "I mean... It's Long Xiang who is disrespectful to the general, you should go to Hefei to ask for the guilt..."
"Huh?"
Without waiting for Sun Ce to ask the reason, Zhou Yu took two steps forward directly, his expression revealing murderous aura.
Cai Ji didn't know why Zhou Yu was angry, he wanted to save his life at the moment, and he also wanted to pull Long Xiang, who had destroyed good things, into the water, so he stubbornly explained: "Long Xiang gambled with the general's life, and concluded that you will die in two years..."
"Bastard, look for death."
Jiang Qin stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed the back of Cai Ji's neck with one hand, and a clamping force went straight to the door of his head.
Cai Ji was so frightened that his body trembled and softened, but he didn't forget to beg for mercy in his mouth: "The general is angry, this is what Long Xiang said, and it has nothing to do with me..."
Sun Ce asked himself if he didn't know Long Xiang, and he wasn't sure that Long Xiang would make fun of him, but Cai Ji in front of him was as timid as a mouse, and he didn't look like he was lying.
"Gongyi, put him down first, and listen."
"Bo Fu, I once had a relationship with Long Yunqi, he seems to be quite knowledgeable, how could he curse you for no reason? This person must have deliberately framed him, and he should have an ulterior motive."
Seeing Zhou Yu helping Long Xiang speak, Cai Ji hurriedly defended himself: "Heaven and earth conscience, I dare to swear with the lives of the whole family, everything I said just now is true, the last time Long Xiang robbed the second bridge halfway, my brother-in-law sent Liu Ye to Hefei to ask for the crime, and it was the news he brought back..."
After listening to this, Sun Ce muttered to himself with empty eyes: "Liu Ye is from the Huainan Gao clan, and he is famous as a young man, when did he vote for Lujiang?" Your brother-in-law treats him so seriously?"
"Liu Ye came to Lujiang about half a year ago, and his brother-in-law wanted to raise troops to Hefei to ask for the guilt, but he said that Lu Su, the chief secretary of Long Xiang, was his friend, and praised Lu Su as a great talent in the world, and deduced that Long Xiang was Zheng Bao who defeated him. ap.
The brother-in-law was moved by Liu Ye's words, so he sent him to Hefei to persuade Lu Su to come to Lujiang, and intimidated Long Xiang to give in to Lujiang, and as a result..."
When Cai Ji was talking, he suddenly found that Zhou Yu's face had changed greatly, and he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, so he stopped.
Zhou Yu's abnormality was also noticed by Sun Ce, and he waved his hand to signal Cai Ji to continue: "What is the result?"
"As a result, Long Xiang and Liu Ye made a bet, threatening that General Sun, like your father, had the same impulsive personality and a penchant for fighting bravely, and would die within two years.
If his reasoning is correct,
The brother-in-law forgave him for taking away the Second Bridge, and if General Sun was alive in two years, Long Xiang would bring the people of Hefei to join him..."
"How can it be justified?"
Sun Ce slapped the table with a dull loud bang.
"Bo Fu, calm down." Zhou Yu turned around and reminded in a low voice.
Sun Ce said angrily: "Long Xiang, this guy, insulted my father, cursed me for a short life, and will definitely kill him."
Cai Ji was silent and secretly happy, but he heard Zhou Yu explain it for Sun Ce.
"Even if Cai Ji's oath is true, then this is from Liu Ye's mouth, and it may not be what Long Xiang said, why don't you call Liu Ye to confront him?"
"Well, that's fine."
Sun Ce calmed down and motioned to Jiang Qin, "Gongyi, go and check the captives and bring Liu Ye here for questioning."
"Yui." Jiang Qin clenched his fists and left.
On the way to wait for Liu Ye, Sun Ce called Zhou Yu to his side, and stopped talking: "Gongjin just now..."
Zhou Yu clasped his fists and approached, and whispered in Sun Ce's ear: "Lu Su also has a friendship with me, he was originally the head of Yuan Shu's Dongcheng, I was just thinking about introducing Bo Fu after the war, I didn't want him to go to Hefei and get together with Long Xiang..."
"How much does Gong Jin know about Long Xiang?"
"It's not too much, I just thought that this person was young, and the soldiers he led were also quite energetic, although he was not outstanding, he could be regarded as a manufacturable material..."
Sun Ce nodded and said to himself, "How dare you say Long Xiang? Do you think you won't be able to meet me for the rest of your life?"
"Huh..."
Zhou Yu glanced at Cai Ji and said coldly: "The merits will be known when Liu Ziyang comes, it may also be Liu Xun's slander, and Liu Ziyang is a Jianghuai celebrity, Bo Fu, you have to find a way to stay, maybe it can help you achieve great things."
"That's what I mean, too."
After a while, Jiang Qin hurriedly returned and reported that Liu Ye had already fled from Anhui County, and his destination was Hefei.
Sun Ce heard the case and got up, and Cai Ji, who was allowed to stand and rest, was worried that he would not be innocent, so he was so frightened that his legs weakened and knelt on the ground again.
Cai Ji defended in panic: "General Sun, I just told the truth..."
"Let's go down first..."
Sun Ce waved lightly at the guards, and before Liu Xun was completely defeated, he thought that it would be useful to keep Cai Ji behind.
After Cai Ji was taken away, the small piece of ground where he stood was wet, and Sun Ce smiled disdainfully after seeing it.
He turned to Zhou Yu and said, "Gong Jin, it seems that you have to go to Hefei."
"Liu Xun's main force is in Yuzhang, it is advisable to go south as soon as possible to defeat it, it is not good for the army to delay for too long..." Zhou Yu frowned.
Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "We have conquered Anhui County in two days, and the time saved should be able to go to Hefei, and Yuan Yin, Yuan Yao and others all went over there, if these people are not in their hands, those officials captured in Lujiang are only afraid that they will be difficult to use in Jiangdong..."
Zhou Yu nodded in affirmation: "Bo Fu is also right, but the situation in Hefei is unclear, so you should figure it out first before making a decision."
"So many people went to cast Longxiang, there should be someone familiar with Hefei among the captives, and I can't try that Cai Ji again..."
Zhou Yu shook his head bitterly: "Cai Ji? What is he used for other than playing with women? I still go with Gongyi to interrogate others, I should be able to gain something, Bo Fu can settle in Anhui County first."
"It's fine."
