Chapter 135 Sun Ce: When I came for a woman?

In order to win a quick victory and return quickly, Liu Xun mobilized more than [-] defenders from Lujiang River to attack Shangliao across the river.

All the generals from Shouchun who supported more than a hundred soldiers were all recruited to suppress these veteran generals, and Liu Xun took command in person.

Luckily, Hao Meng only had dozens of entourages, and escaped by pretending to be sick, while Qin Yilu was left behind because of his loyalty.

Regarding staying behind in Lujiang, Liu Xun can't trust outsiders.

Before leaving, Liu Xun left more than [-] defenders for his wife and brother Cai Ji, and asked him to be fully responsible for the security of the rear.

In mid-September, in order to deceive others, Liu Xun did not choose the best route, that is, take a boat from the southeast to the mouth of the Yangtze River, then go up the Shuo River, and then enter Yuzhang from Peng Lize.

Liu Xun transferred the ship to the north of Peng Lize to stand by in advance, and then traveled another [-] li from the southwest of Wan County to Peng Lize to board the ship.

Although he acted swiftly and covertly, in the eyes of those with good intentions, it was like a child's plan, and Sun Ce was scheming against him from the very beginning.

At that time, Sun Ce was stationed in Shicheng (now Guichi County, Anhui Province), and claimed to the outside world that he was going to go west to seek Huang Zu to avenge his father, but he paid close attention to the movement along the Yangtze River.

Although Liu Xun was sneaky, he had a great momentum across the river with thousands of sails. The military news spread to the Shicheng camp immediately, and Sun Ce immediately gathered his generals to prepare for a surprise attack on Wan County.

As soon as Sun Ce announced the marching plan, Zhou Yu immediately reminded: "Bo Fu, why didn't you divide up your troops to block Liu Xun's retreat? If Liu Xun's main force returns to aid the army, it will be disadvantageous."

"According to the analysis of the number of boats on the river, Liu Xun has tens of thousands of defenders in Wan County, and we only have more than [-] people in Shicheng. If we don't go all out, it will be extremely difficult to achieve success. I also fought for a long time back then." Sun Ce recalled Lujiang The past is serious.

Zhou Yu remonstrated: "In order to win quickly, Liu Xun must have the elite of Lujiang. The remaining defenders are not to be feared. Moreover, Shangliao's people are tough. He may not be able to conquer them as he wishes. If he returns to help halfway, what should he do?"

Sun Ce snorted coldly: "Liu Xun doesn't have a city to rely on, my [-] will surely defeat the other's [-], what is there to be afraid of?

What's more, Liu Xun's trip will take at least ten months, and I will have conquered Wan County by then. "

Zhou Yu shook his head lightly, and then made a bold hypothesis.

"Liu Xun has a lot of soldiers. If he abandons Wan County and goes straight to Wu County by water, it will be dangerous. Wu County doesn't have [-] defenders."

"Change? Liu Xun has the guts?" Sun Ce frowned.

Zhou Yu said sternly, "It's best to rule out all possibilities. Even if we slow down in Wancheng, we must trap Liu Xun in Haihun."

Sun Ce stroked his short beard, hesitantly muttered to himself: "Short soldiers are the most taboo to divide troops. If you divide them, you can't stop them. If you divide them too much, we won't be able to attack the city."

Zhou Yu pointed to the map on the case and analyzed: "If there are few soldiers, you can't fight in the wild. My lord can send people to capture Pengze County and defend it at the lower village at the Shuikou of Peng Lize. Just lock Liu Xun in Yuzhang, and turn back when Wan County is broken. Let's attack together."

"good."

Sun Ce stroked his affirmation, waved his hand and began to order: "Boyang (Sun Ben), Guoyi (Sun Fu), my two elder brothers and I have [-] troops. Immediately follow Gongjin's wishes and go to Pengze to intercept Liu Xun."

"only."

Sun Ben and Sun Fu clasped their fists to accept the orders, and Sun Ce continued to issue orders.

"Ziyi."

"The end is here."

"This time Liu Xun goes south to attack Shangliao, he will definitely bring Zhang Xun, Ji Ling and other generals with him. Ziyi (Tai Shici) will go with his two elder brothers. If there is a fierce battle, you will have to go out."

"My lord, don't worry, Ci will go all out."

"Very good."

Sun Ce was worried that Sun Ben and Sun Fu would not be able to defeat General Yuan Shu, so he sent the newly surrendered Tai Shici there. He and Zhou Yu led Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals, and led an army of more than [-] people to Wan County.

At this time, Cai Ji, the defender of Wan County, was like a carrot in the gentle township. He was very depressed that he had not been able to get the second bridge before.

When Liu Xun was in Wanxian County, Cai Ji didn't dare to be blatant, so he could only secretly bring Yuan Shu's women home, and they were all maids and maids without status.

Liu Xun left the city like a tiger leaving the mountain, and Cai Ji, a monkey, became the king. He directly lived in the mansion of Yuan Shu's concubine, indulged in wine and sex all day long and ignored military affairs.

Liu Ye took advantage of this opportunity to transfer the clansmen out of the city in batches, and took hundreds of craftsmen along the way as requested by Lu Su's letter.

The last time Shouchun moved 8 people, there were 6000 to [-] artisans of various kinds, but they were not properly settled. After all, Hao Meng, who has the title of Pavilion Marquis, was not treated well, let alone the artisans who served the royal family.

There is no royal palace in Wan County, let alone the need for large-scale construction projects. The artisans in the city are already saturated, and these thousands of people are unemployed after moving.

Hefei promised to have food and work, and Liu Ye contacted 600 people without a word.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to leave Wan County as soon as possible, he could still contact more craftsmen.

These craftsmen had friendship with each other, and some left messages before leaving, those who didn't want to run away were willing to stay in Wan County to starve, while those who wanted to live a better life secretly left the city.

In less than three days, more than 3000 people were out of Wancheng.

Due to the large number of people in Lujiang County, the financial pressure is high, and the people who leave can reduce the expenditure of money and food. In addition, Cai Ji who stayed behind did not care, so the people below did not report in time.

Until Sun Ce brought an army under the pressure, Yuan Yin and others disguised themselves as craftsmen and fled, Cai Ji finally crawled out of the beauty's nest, and after more than ten days of indulgence, his face was yellow and emaciated, and his eyes were sunken.

Cai Ji hastily ordered the gates of Wan County to be closed, and dispatched all battalions to defend against the enemy on the walls. Unfortunately, these people were just as Zhou Yu expected, and Liu Xun picked out the remaining weak and old.

Because of the lack of defense during this period, Wan County was quickly attacked by Sun Ce, and the family members of Cai Ji and Liu Xun were all trapped by Ce.

Cai Ji was bound to the camp for interrogation. Sun Ce had already learned about his deeds from among the captives. When he saw the haggard 'drug-addicted' face, he immediately felt a little disgusted in his heart.

"General Sun, I am willing to surrender, but only to spare my life."

Seeing that Cai Ji was as timid as a mouse, Sun Ce said disdainfully: "I heard that General Cai is in good health, and he has played with all of Yuan Shu's concubines. I don't have so many women in Jiangdong for you to show off. If you want to survive, just give me one." Appropriate reason."

"Ah this."

When Cai Ji heard that Sun Ce had murderous intentions, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to explain: "General, please forgive me. Although I was a little anxious, but out of concern for my brother-in-law's face, I didn't dare to touch Yuan Shu's wife and daughter close relatives. There are only some unnamed concubines. intentionally"

"When I came here for a woman? Huh?" Sun Ce's eyes froze.

Cai Ji was so frightened that he wanted to slap his face, but his hands were tied behind him, so he could only slam it down heavily, crying, "I didn't mean that, I just beg the general to spare my life, and I can do whatever you want."

Seeing that Cai Ji was humble and disgusted, Sun Ce was about to order him to be executed when suddenly Zhou Yu hurried into the tent and leaned against him and whispered a few words.

Sun Ce's face changed, and he quickly looked at Cai Ji and asked, "Where are Yuan Yin, Yuan Yao, Huang Yi and others?"

"They are all placed in the other courtyard in the west of the city. I can take the general to find them"

Cai Ji was taken aback for a moment, and immediately recommended himself as the guide.

"There is no one in the other courtyard in the west of the city. If General Cai really wants to survive, tell me where he is hiding."

Sun Ce looked at Cai Ji with a gloomy face. After he broke the city, he captured many officials of Yuan Shu, and he needed to use Yuan Yin, Yuan Yao and other Yuan clans to recover these people.

"I didn't"

Cai Ji was hesitating to explain, but was interrupted by Jiang Qin who broke in suddenly.

Jiang Qin clasped his fists and reported: "Master, the whereabouts of Yuan Yin and Yuan Yao have been found."
