"The general can sit back and relax!"

A smile bloomed on Sun Ce's face, "Yes, the siege is hard today, give the order to go down and reward the three armies with cow wine!" ”

"Yes!"

Several veterans came out of the tent one by one, and the tent was deserted in an instant.

There was one more person who did not go.

When Sun Ce raised his eyes to look at his friend, the smile on his face completely disappeared.

Because Zhou Yu didn't have the slightest smile on his face.

His long, flat eyebrows furrowed deeply, and he looked at Sun Ce calmly and worriedly.

"The general must not lose to Lu Lian in this battle."

Sun Ce nodded lightly, "I must not lose to her." ”

Because of the consequences of losing to her...... He couldn't afford it.

What kind of person is Lu Lian?

She came from a humble background, skilled in swordsmanship, but had neither talent nor strategy, even if she was famous for "lack of swords", the world only regarded her as a swordsman, a brave general.

She is just a knife in Liu Bei's hand, and the scholars can reluctantly accept her for the sake of her status and the face of the Xiapi Chen family, but they will not really respect her.

Who will respect a knife? Who would respect a knife that seems to have almost no idea of its own, and therefore has no reputation?

But now it's different.

Sun Ce personally handed over the thing "virtue" to Lu Lian.

This thing seems extremely useless in troubled times, but if it is encountered in the right environment, it can also burst out with dazzling and terrifying power.

For example, everyone can unscrupulously ridicule Song Xianggong for being stupid, but because he lost the battle of Hongshui.

But what if he wins?

He can loudly ridicule and taunt Lu Lian at this moment, because the victory or defeat is not decided at this time.

But what if she wins?

If a general loses half of his men and horses in the face of a vicious battle, and does not hesitate to contribute his own military rations, just to protect a group of outcasts who are more despicable than dirt - if this general is victorious in the next war, and such deeds are spread - then the meanest and most arrogant warrior in the world will have to bow his head in front of her reputation!

Whether it's the clan, the imperial court, or the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes!

Who can say anything disrespectful to such a person whose virtue is comparable to that of the ancient sages?!

A living sage! How many people will follow her?!

At that time, wherever she goes, those big families will rush to visit her and want to befriend her!

Just like after Confucius has the name of a sage, who cares if he is a concubine or a son born from "Yehe"!

Such a reputation is suitable for a weak scribe, not for a general like Lu Lian.

She has force, soldiers and horses, half of Qingzhou, and Liu Bei's wholehearted support and trust, if she gets such a reputation, she will stay in Hefei for a few days, and the scholars in Jiangdong will go to Hefei with their families and mouths!

Sun Ce's beautiful face gradually distorted because he was immersed in his terrible thoughts, but he could never admit that he was jealous of that Lu Lian, the future Lu Lian who could make the family worship only by his reputation.

…… Because he killed so many people in order to make the Jiangdong clan bow their heads!

He killed a lot of people in Jiangdong, and the big families in Wu County still had their own thoughts and resisted him again and again!

Can he imagine the scene of those people abandoning their homeland and running to Lu Lian?

"Brother Bofu."

Zhou Yu's worried voice woke him up from his contemplation.

So the handsome and tired young man got up from the bed of Hu, took a long breath, and looked at the lonely city that was covered with blood under the dark clouds.

At that time, he thought that Lu Lian would tear off his so-called forgiving, benevolent and loving outer robes, revealing an inner shell as cold-blooded as him.

Whether it's Lu Lian or Liu Bei, isn't Aimin just a thing to talk about?!

There are so many villains in the world who use this kind of trick to gain a good reputation for themselves! Could it be that in the land of death and life, in the time of survival, can they still not abandon the people?!

He's just going to shatter these ridiculous reputations!

The Jiangdong family looked at him as a thief, but didn't they know that the world's famous virtuous sages were all thieves!

Sun Ce closed his eyes in pain, and then opened them again.

The divine weapon of the invisible substance, after all, he personally handed it over to Lu Lian.

He was still wrong.

But he will not admit mistakes, let alone admit defeat.

"There are still more than 10,000 in our army," he said as if to himself, his voice was clear and bright, and there was a young man's stubbornness, "Waiting for work with ease is far better than Lu Lian!" ”

When the news of the fall of Hefei reached the army, Lu Hangyu was passing through the Jieshan Pass, and there were only 100 miles left to Hefei away.

Chen Zhi packed up the remnants of less than 1,000 remnants and went north to join Guan Yu, but he also left scouts to report to Guangling, but was stopped by her on the way.

After receiving this news, Lu Hangyu immediately came to find Zhang Liao.

"Hefei has been lost, and we can't count on Hefei's military rations," she said, "and we have to find a way." ”

This is not a good time of year, but it is a good advantage for those cavalry who are good at shooting, that is, whenever they set up camp, they can go out and hunt.

It's all up to luck with what you can get, most likely pheasants, then wild boars, and then maybe a fawn or two in the woods, but the carnivorous beasts are not so easy to find. Unless she went into the mountains alone to find it, these many archers would have gone into the mountains to "eat", and they would have fled to nowhere with their tails between their legs.

Recently, because the displaced people have scattered and the villages and towns have withered, the wild beasts have gradually become bold to run out, so now she is worried about the war report, but the soldiers are not starving, and they can even set up a grill and stare at the ingredients that are growing with anticipation.

Zhang Liao took a short blade in one hand, and when he was about to cut meat with the other hand, he saw her coming.

"Even if Hefei is trapped, you have to eat." He said, "Taste it, this is the venison I roasted with my own hands." ”

She took it and held it in her hand, and took a bite of the venison, but she couldn't chew it, but she still vaguely praised her good craftsmanship.

"If we are trapped under the city, you can go to Chaohu Lake to catch some fish and grill it."

Zhang Liao glanced at her and sneered.

"Ciyu is scared?"

“…… I won't be afraid. She said, "That city was originally Yuan Shu's, and it was captured by the second general more than a month ago. ”

"Hmm."

"Now it's in the hands of Sun Ce."

"Hmm."

"In the rest of the month, the city has been captured twice, and no matter how strong the city is, it should be ruined and unpresentable." She said, "I'm not afraid that I won't be able to attack, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to defend without food." ”

"Didn't you say you were going to go fishing on Chaohu Lake?" Zhang Liao looked at her with a smile.

She suddenly had a spirit.

Is Sun Ce's advantage on land? Apparently not.

The reason why this goods can run around is only because he is familiar with water warfare, there are many ships, and all logistics and grain transportation affairs are by water, from the Yangtze River to Chaohu Lake, extremely silky, and envious of Chen Deng.

Therefore, Sun Ce's warehouse is not in Hefei, but next to Chaohu Lake.

If you can do him without knowing it, you will have everything to eat and drink!

…… But there's a catch.

"I can go to get Chaohu," she thought for a while, "I heard that it is guarded by Lu Fan, and that person is Sun Ce's confidant, and he is very trusted, but I categorically don't believe that he can defeat me." ”

"Naturally, it can't be defeated." Zhang Liao said with certainty.

"But I only brought 3,000 soldiers and horses, if I attack Chaohu, Sun Ce will come to the rescue immediately, what can I do?"

If Tai Shi Ci was there, she could make Tai Shi Ci ambush on the road and lure Sun Ce into the city, but now Tai Shi Ci was left in Liyang by her-

Zhang Liao replied very decisively, "If you say that Hefei is captured, I will go." ”

The spark burst open, and a wave of charcoal ash swirled upward, causing her to blink impatiently.

"Does Wen Yuan want to use cavalry to attack the city?"

The firelight reflected the familiar face, and there was not the slightest hint of a joke on it.

"Ciyu handed over the cavalry to me, if I can't win, I am willing to accept military law."

"Then you don't have to ......," she said quickly, "but I'll have to keep some of my companions and scouts around, so I'll leave it to you......"

"Eight hundred horses are enough."

Zhang Liao's voice was not loud or excited, he seemed to be just recounting one thing in a bland manner, similar to "This meat is cooked, it's time to eat".

“…… Eight hundred rides? ”

"Sun Ce'er has been in the reeds in Jiangdong for a long time, and he actually uses such chickens and dogs as a means," Zhang Liao said with a smile, "This time he should be able to get to know the heroes of the world!" ”

Chapter 232

The weather was fine.

After a few rains, although the weather began to get hot again, but the unbearable heat has been suppressed a little after all, as long as the mosquitoes can be shielded, you can also get a good night's sleep, Jiao Zhi is how he calculated.

He first ordered the servants to smoke his tent with herbs to expel the little things that were crawling around, and sewed a curtain on the door of the tent to keep it cool and to keep out mosquitoes, and then ordered the servants to take out his bamboo mat and lay it.

This army of soldiers and horses is stationed on the banks of the river, and there are countless aquatic products to eat.

So he leaned on a table and sat on a bamboo mat, with all kinds of fruits in front of him, as well as delicious fish trays and fish soup.

But when he stretched out the bamboo chopstick, and just picked up a piece of fish tart, and wanted to dip it in the shrimp paste, a servant came in.

"Sovereign," the man whispered, "Duke Cheng has a message that the eastern part of the city has been cleared out, and the sovereign wants ......."

Among the generals who followed Sun Jian back then, Cheng Pu was the oldest and had a high prestige, so everyone called Cheng Gong at the time.

Jiao Zhi snorted.

"Cheng Gong is troublesome."
