There was a stirring in the camp.

Then the dark red shell of blood broke, and the golden light came through the forest, brighter and brighter, more and more vigorous.

She stood on the tower and watched the rising red sun.

Until the sound of horses' hooves came.

"General! Sun Ce has a messenger arrived! ”

Lu Hangyu was excited, "What? ”

Sun Ce sent a letter.

Even though she had already guessed what was written in her heart, the letter allowed her to break the defense.

"I heard that Xuzhou loves the people, and now the hungry people are crying, and I hope to give them relief," Sun Ce wrote, "I am very grateful." ”

She stood in the middle of the camp, clutching the bamboo slip, and scolding so much that many officers and soldiers ran out of the tent without even putting on their clothes.

It's a pity that Lu Hangyu's voice is hoarse, even if she scolds hysterically and heartbreakingly, it can't reach the tent farther away.

…… Not to mention Sun Ce's ears.

But when the morning sun sprinkled the golden light on his face, Sun Ce raised his head and looked at the city not far away.

The city had apparently been in the midst of a war not long ago, and although it had recently been renovated, it was understaffed and not fully repaired.

Behind him is Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, his father's left, kind-hearted comrades, Han Dang who can no longer return, but his soul still follows him by his side!

The oppressive army was extremely quiet at this time, everyone was watching their general, and everyone's eyes were hiding a surging battle intent!

"I heard that Liu Bei has many brave generals," he said, "whether it is Guan Zhang or Lu Lian, they are all warriors who can be defeated by ten thousand people!"

"How can I retreat cowardly in the face of such an adversary?

"How can my Jiangdong boy retreat?!"

Suddenly there was a roar in the army!

Sun Ce pulled out his long sword and faced the rising sun, and the long sword seemed to shimmer with brilliant brilliance, illuminating the young and resolute face.

"Attack the city today," Sun Ce said sharply, "I'll be the first!" ”

Chapter 231

In the early morning, the barracks was still a little muddy, but the soldiers had already gotten up under the shouts of the officers, and were busy fetching water and making fires, and burying pots and cooking meals.

Of course, everyone ran around tacitly bypassing the low-pressure general, and let her crush the bamboo slips there to pieces.

Lu Hangyu finally threw the bamboo slips to his own soldiers and asked them to put them away, as for Sun Ce's messenger...... Sun Ce didn't intend to receive any reply, so the messenger handed over the letter and ran away.

…… Run, run, she can't help but beat him up if she stays.

She stepped on such a muddy empty field, and when she walked all the way back to the tent, she was completely calm.

Tai Shici and Zhang Liao, who hadn't slept for a few hours, had already gotten up and looked at her with sleepy eyes.

"Letter from Sun Ce?"

"Well," she said, "it's not worth anything, but I have something for you to do." ”

Tai Shici woke up all of a sudden, and Zhang Liao next to him also sobered up all of a sudden, and all four eyes were staring at her brightly.

"I want you to lead the Donglai soldiers to patrol along the Liyang area, expel the bandits, and then send the displaced people back to Guangling." She said.

The sword-eyed face froze suddenly.

"What does the general mean by this?"

"Wen Yuan and I continue to go north to Hefei," Lu Xuanyu said more clearly, "You stay." ”

Tai Shici's brows furrowed tightly, and it was extremely quiet in the tent for a while.

An old man walked outside the tent and carefully talked to the soldier, but the old man was not very good hearing, so the soldier could only answer him loudly.

The voice was indeed too loud, causing Tai Shi Ci to glance out unintentionally, and then he suddenly came to his senses.

"Is this move by the general for the sake of these displaced people?" He asked, "General, think twice!" ”

"I've thought about it seriously," she smiled, "I'm relieved that Liuziyi is here." ”

For the people at the bottom of this era, it is a very normal thing to eat thin when they are busy, and when they need to do physical labor, they should eat more, and when they don't need to do any physical labor, they should drink less gruel.

And when soldiers are on long journeys, they must eat well every day, especially during the war, not only to be full, but also to eat well, how can you boost morale without wine and meat?

As a result, the army's food consumption was much greater than that of ordinary civilians, and in this war against Yuan Shu, considering that the army could not obtain local supplies, the amount of food consumed and wasted reached a staggering number.

She calculated for a long time and calculated a rough figure, if these 3,000 soldiers stopped advancing and only stayed near Jiangdu to carry out some small-scale tasks, it would be enough to save more than 10,000 people's food.

…… Of course, it is impossible for this kind of decision not to be complained about, and the Black Blade immediately expressed its incomprehension.

"Even though I've seen many creatures—I mean, those that aren't humans—they have different traits and habits, you're still the strangest of all the creatures I've ever seen," Blackblade said, "Can you explain?" 】

【…… What? Explain why those people need help? 】

[Explain why you always, always, always put yourself in passivity and disadvantage?] The Black Blade asked coldly, "Why did you make such a stupid decision when you have enough troops? 】

It's not asking questions, it's breaking the defense, it's cursing, so she pretended not to hear.

【Can you get anything?】 The voice of the black blade was very sharp in his head, like the tip of a knife cutting across the surface of glass, [I saw your efforts, did you gain anything? 】

【…… Virtue and fame? 】

[I was amused by your cold jokes.] Blackblade said coldly, "But I must warn you that if you fail, your virtue and reputation will become a joke, a joke of the people of the world, and even a joke that has been recited for thousands of years. 】

…… It's really serious.

But when she heard such a stern warning, she was suddenly amused.

"Then I must not fail." Her smile vanished for a moment, and a frosty chill spread across her face, "Because it shouldn't be a joke." ”

When this army set off, Lu Hangyu left behind 3,000 Donglai soldiers, thousands of supporting people, and corresponding supplies.

There was no "pulling out the village", and this camp was left to these displaced people.

"It's hot and it's easy to cause epidemics," she said, "and you need to take more care of Ziyi." ”

Tai Shi Ci looked at her silently for a while, and sighed, "If the general needs help, just send someone here to report the news." ”

She pursed her lips and smiled.

The soldiers brought their horses over, and she went to the open space in the camp and mounted her horses, and when she was about to give the order to the soldiers and horses to be drawn, many homeless people slowly gathered together.

The ground was still muddy.

When she stepped on the soft stirrup, which had not evolved very easily, she almost fell because of the greasy soft mud that had slipped under her feet.

But the homeless people who held their children, the homeless people who supported the elderly, and the homeless people who were on bamboo poles fell into the mud one by one.

Their faces were immediately covered with mud, and they could no longer see their expressions.

But two more marks immediately appeared under the eyes.

They were shouting at her, crying at her. While weeping, he prostrated to her and prayed loudly for her to return victorious.

[That's why you're doing this to see this?] Blackblade asked her coldly.

[No,] she said, "I'm here to never see this again." 】

The cavalry led by Zhang Liao had already left the camp and was waiting in the forest, she took a deep look at these people, and then turned her horse's head and rode away.

It was a bit dark.

It had just rained, but it was not heavy, and it was so hot that it was so hot that something was crawling out of the ruins everywhere, whether it was moving, hunting, or simply wanting to breathe.

Sun Ce sat on such a collapsed section of the city wall, panting and looking down one by one.

This is Hefei that he fell, and at his feet is the son lang he brought from Jiangdong, they followed him to shout and charge, and attacked the city for three days day and night, and finally defeated Hefei.

By the time Guan Yu learned the news, it was already too late.

When he thought of this, Sun Ce should have been very proud, but his brain had been completely occupied by this fierce battle, even if the remaining Liu Beijun was led by Chen Zhi and had withdrawn from Hefei, Sun Ce still couldn't relax.

On his side was a pool of thick blood, in which he could reflect the embarrassment of his body.

The bright silver armor had a few arrows stuck in it, and the helmet had been knocked off by one of the defenders, and the bun of hair fell and was stained with blood on the cheeks.

At this moment, Sun Ce looked extremely depressed and embarrassed, but he didn't care at all. With Hefei, he can choke Guan Yu's neck, and he can further seek a decisive battle.

Defeating Guan Yu in a decisive battle is Sun Ce's goal.

What is it to take a city and a land? As long as Liu Bei is still a powerful prince located in the north, he can go south to invade at any time.

Only by completely defeating Liu Bei and then defeating Liu Biao can he completely control Jiangdong.

Only when he completely holds Jiangdong in his hands can he look at the land of the Central Plains.

"The general is here?"

Sun Ce raised his head and saw Cheng Pu walking up step by step, "There are scouts returning from Liyang." ”

In the Chinese military tent, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals, plus Zhou Yu, are all here.

Lu Lian's itinerary and actions are very important to them, and they need to think twice about how to deal with things, and they must not be careless.

But the scout's report surprised them.

"General, Lu Lian led 3,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, all of whom were soldiers and horses from his headquarters, coming to Hefei."

"Three thousand?" Sun Ce repeated, "What about the three thousand Donglai soldiers?" ”

"They, they were left in Liyang by her to escort the victims to Guangling!"

Sun Ce sat there, looking at the scout in a daze.

Several generals glanced at each other, and Cheng Pu smiled.

"This is just the benevolence of Song Xianggong, how to be the opponent of the general!"

"The general's clever plan," Huang Gai also praised it, "If the soldiers are not bloody, they will make Lu Lian lose half of his soldiers and horses!" ”

"Soldiers take victory as merit, like her, in vain for the world to laugh about!"
