Sun Ce's first "throwing stones to ask for directions" was very successful, Zhuge Jin and Guan Yu were afraid of the people, and did not take advantage of the opportunity of him to open the city gate and take advantage of the chaos to cover up and capture the city with heavy troops.

After learning the result, Sun Ce finally breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that he had a plan, which strengthened his determination to use the people as a meat shield to fish in troubled waters.

As for Zhang Zhao's return to the city, he relayed Zhuge Jin's final surrender treatment to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce was not moved at all. He didn't want to be "like a husband and be autonomous on the Yongdong Islands", or leave a marquis title to wander in a remote place. directly to Zhang Zhao no.

So in the next five or six days, Sun Cejun made two more small moves like this, and each time more and more people were released, from more than 20,000 to 30,000 or 40,000. And Sun Ce was very calm, and he didn't bring any private goods twice in a row.

This is a typical "wolf coming" behavior, which is to paralyze the enemy.

It's a pity that he met Zhuge Jin, even if Sun Ce has not carried private goods, Zhuge Jin has always kept the troops vigilant, and he also personally inspected the camp to see which troops are slacking off because they are used to nothing happening, Zhuge Jin will also seriously deal with and rectify military discipline.

Moreover, looking at Sun Ce's actions, Zhuge Jin also had a little realization in his heart, and he decided to strengthen the weakest link on the blockade line that lured the enemy to break through before, that is, the Zhang Liaobu cavalry patrolling between Moling and Jurong.

Regardless of whether Sun Ce has tricks or not, Zhuge Jin must be prepared.

Finally, the time came to the seventh day of the lunar month.

This day is another day that Sun Cejun agreed to release the people to surrender, and the scale of the surrender is unprecedentedly large, and it is estimated that most of the remaining people in Moling City will be released.

However, just before the people were released, early in the morning, before dawn, some small changes occurred in the Yangzhou Pastoral Mansion in Moling City.

Originally, according to the plan, the people who went out of the city and surrendered should be led by Zhang Zhao, and he also had to routinely hand over with Chen Qun, who was sent by Zhuge Jin to receive him.

But today, Sun Ce didn't plan to let Zhang Zhao go out to hand over, and he didn't want Zhang Zhao to be difficult, so he went straight to the showdown.

"Gong Zhang, I don't need you to go out of the city to hand over today, I will go to hand over by myself. The seal of Danyang Taishou is here, and after I leave the city, the defense of this Moling City will be entrusted to Zhang Gong.

I also know that Zhang Gong has been depressed recently, if you don't want to stick to it, after three days, you can be allowed to demote Liu, and then Liu Bei Zhuge Jin will also give you glory and wealth, even if the real power of the official position is not as good as mine, but it can be regarded as a retreat. For the sake of you and me, I have been friends for four years, and in the end, I can always have a beginning and an end to this little thing entrusted to you, right? ”

Zhang Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't react for a while. Until this moment, he didn't know that his tendency to surrender had completely aroused Sun Ce's distrust, and Sun Ce had used tricks before, but even he hid it.

Sun Ce is seeking talent, but a virtuous minister who is not loyal is useless to keep.

Out of the credibility and pride of the last taxi, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but accept this errand, but said with a wry smile: "When the lord goes out of the city, he will definitely take all the main soldiers away, and the most that can be left to me is some people."

It is possible to rely on these people to hold Moling for three days, to attract the attention of the enemy army for the lord, and to strive for the time to break through to Jurong or even Biling. But if Guan Yu really attacked, I am afraid that the people in the city will suffer heavy casualties and demoralization.

At that time, the old man could only pull down his face, try to beg Zhuge Jin for leniency, and explain the three-day covenant between the lord and the old man to Zhuge Jin, if he is willing to believe me, let me surrender in three days, and not attack for the time being, then it is best. The rest of the methods, the old man really can't bear to do. ”

When Sun Ce heard Zhang Zhao say this, he knew that Zhang Zhao still wanted to be embarrassed, and decided to abide by the promise of this last monarch and minister, so he would have nothing to worry about.

As for what means Zhang Zhao used to achieve it, Sun Ce didn't care, all he wanted was the result.

"Zhang Gongken is so open and honest, I don't have anything to worry about, I eavesdrop on the gentleman's friendship, don't make a bad noise, and the loyal ministers go, and their names are not clean. Zhang Gong has a beginning and an end, which can be compared to the ancient Joy and Yi. ”

Sun Ce put down this last sentence, put on his horse, and led his troops out of the city. Lost Moling and the people in the city who were unwilling to follow to Zhang Zhao.

He compared Zhang Zhao to Le Yi, not that Zhang Zhao's talent has this qualification, but the two sentences he quoted just now were in Le Yi's reply to King Yan Hui back then.

Zhang Zhao watched Sun Ce lead his troops away, and he became an outcast, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

He saw with his own eyes that the elite soldiers who were taken away by Sun Ce were extra covered with the ragged clothes of ordinary people over their armor.

When he left the city, the left and right teams were real people, but there were troops in the middle, obviously to get out of Liu Beijun's relatively loose encirclement.

……

Sun Cejun quickly went out of the city, this time it was the same as before, using a full fifty or sixty thousand innocent people as smoke bombs, and the black pressure rushed out of the city, completely attracting Liu Beijun's attention. And his more than 20,000 soldiers and strong men who were forcibly pulled were hidden among them.

The two sides had formed a tacit understanding of the surrender of the people three times before, and Liu Beijun's soldiers were still at least ten miles outside the city gate, but they could see the city gate open and the crowd out of the city from a distance on the horizon, and did not take advantage of the chaos to cover up the killing.

Seeing that he had a plan, Sun Ce drove the people to Liu Beijun's camp, and he himself immediately accelerated with the main force and began to forcibly march to escape in chaos.

And Sun Ce also played a little cautious before: the first three times he released the surrendered people, he also chose Mao Shizheng, and then he never changed it, but now it is the cold winter wax moon, and when he released people for the first time ten days ago, the sky was already a little cloudy, and when the people all left the city, the sky was all bright.

But today is close to the winter solstice, and it is the longest night of the year, and when Sun Cejun released the people with torches, the sky was not bright at all, which made it easier to be confused.

His left and right flanks were covered by tens of thousands of people as meat shields, and unless Liu Beijun rushed to kill and trample on these crowds, it was impossible for him to catch up with him immediately, and he couldn't even realize what was going on here at the first time.

Sun Ce rode on his war horse and personally shouted loudly to boost morale: "The whole army rushed to Huaipu Pavilion with me!" As long as we take advantage of the chaos to rush there and break through Zhang Liao, our army will be able to break through successfully! Liu Beijun has already believed that we let the people out of the city in order to save grain and grass and hold on to the city for a longer time. We would not have expected that our army would go the opposite way and take the opportunity to break through while driving the people to save food and grass! ”

The officers and men of the whole army struggled to get up their minds and follow Sun Ce to take the opportunity to escape and march, they rested very early last night, and slept well, Sun Ce also changed the previous style of saving food and only giving two meals a day two days in advance, and fed the soldiers from lunch the day before yesterday, in order to prepare for today's runaway.

The soldiers with sufficient physical strength ran all the way under the encouragement of Sun Ce, and left the encirclement for about twenty miles, Guan Yu and Zhao Yuncai realized that Sun Ce had abandoned the city and broken through in the chaos of the people.

In the midst of the chaos, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun naturally had to divide their troops to pursue, and Zhuge Jin had to find a way to force down the people who were left behind in Moling to find out the identity of the left-behind generals.

Sun Ce hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity to distance himself as much as possible.

……

Huaipu Pavilion is a pavilion in the southeast of Moling City, located on the bank of "Huaishui".

During the Han Dynasty, the river around Nanjing south of the Yangtze River was also called the "Huai River". In the Tang Dynasty, in order to distinguish it from the Huai River in Jiangbei, the area around Nanjing was renamed "Qinhuai River".

Huaipu Pavilion is roughly in the core area of Jiangning District of Nanjing in later generations, where Fangshan Scenic Area of Jiangning is located, thirty miles away from Moling City, and fifty miles to the east is Jurong County.

Officials who are familiar with the geography of Nanjing in later generations should know that there are many mountains around Nanjing. Therefore, it is impossible for Sun Ce to break through due east, and he will be blocked by Tangshan and Baohua Mountain.

Therefore, you can only go upriver to the southeast along the "Qinhuai River", bypass the mountains due east of the city, and then turn due east to reach Jurong County......

Of course, Zhuge Jin on the opposite side also knew this, so he arranged a cavalry team to intercept patrols before the war, and Zhang Liao led the troops to block that section of the road, patrolling back and forth.

In the previous months, there were also Jiangdong troops who tried to tentatively transport grain to Moling from the direction of Jurong, or wanted to bring a letter over, but they were all intercepted and killed by Zhang Liao.

Later, the Jiangdong Army in the rear saw that this could not be done, and recognized the reality, so they completely gave up their small actions and no longer gave away their heads in vain.

Now as long as Sun Ce wants to break through, he will definitely bump into Zhang Liao.

……

Sure enough, just an hour and a half after leaving the city, Sun Ce led his troops to run more than 30 miles, and collided with Zhang Liao's patrol cavalry battalion at Huaipu Pavilion, the corner of the Qinhuai River, roughly equivalent to the Jiangning Campus of Nanjing Institute of Technology in later generations.

Both sides are hilly and forested, and in the middle is a plain field about ten miles wide, through which the Qinhuai River flows. Sun Ce's army marched along the south bank of the Qinhuai River, and Zhang Liao's interception force was also deployed to the south bank in advance.

At this time, it was already the end of the day, the sky was completely bright, the field of vision was very good, and both sides had discovered the enemy from a long distance. It's just that the weather is a little cold on this day, although it is Jiangnan, it also snows heavily, and there is even a thin layer of ice frozen on the Qinhuai River.

The snow in Jiangnan has a lot of moisture, and when it is soft, it has a lot of friction when stepping on it, but when it is stepped on a little, it is easy to melt and freeze, and it becomes extremely slippery.

Such weather, for the cavalry, saves the trouble of muddy hooves in the rice fields, but also increases the risk of slippery and slippery, which can be described as a mixed pros and cons.

For the infantry, the soldiers in the back row also have to worry about the soldiers in the front row charging and trampling on the slippery and slippery after the snow melts into ice, and must reduce the sprint speed and advance slowly when engaged.

Although Sun Ce had been mentally prepared, but after seeing such a combat environment, he still thought that more things were better than less, so he was willing to take out a little tea or two to see if he could persuade Zhang Liao not to find his own death, and he could save some trouble.

Sun Ce personally jumped out of the battle and shouted to the opposite side: "Zhang Wenyuan! You are just a general under the command of Lu Bu, repeatedly defeated, several changes of ownership, now there are only more than 1,000 horsemen at hand, I have an army of 30,000 today, even if it is only a round of cavalry, the number is also above!

As long as you don't stop me, I'll let you go!" Even if Zhuge Jin reprimands you harshly, your troops are so weak, you can't stop me, and Liu Bei will still fail to march the law? Don't make a mistake! ”

Zhang Liao on the other side was also calm, and when he saw that Sun Ce was going to scold, he also played with the other party, and scolded him before the battle:

"Sun Ce Xiaoer! If you don't distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and you act as a tiger for a traitor like Cao Thief, today is your death! Although I don't have many soldiers and horses, General Zhao's iron cavalry will arrive soon! Do you think your plan to hide from the sky and the sea can be hidden from Mr. Zhuge ? ”

Sun Ce was furious: "You puppet who is a slave to the three surnames!" After the death of the three family slaves, they continued to change hands and follow Liu Bei, such a promiscuous person, and they still have the face to say me! Charge the whole army! Break through Zhang Liao with me! ”

Zhang Liao also made a move of his weapon, commanded the cavalry under his command to charge, and roared angrily: "How can you evaluate Wenhou? Wen Hou may be unjust, but he is absolutely loyal to the Great Han! He died for the rebellion of His Majesty's edict, and he was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty! What kind of thing are you, you thief! ”
