The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 244 Entering Jiujiang

"Ziyi, Lu Zijing must have a conspiracy. I'm afraid he will order the general to shoot the lord with an arrow in the back. You should be more careful and don't let them hurt the lord!"

Lu Su has a noble character and is not good at such ghost tricks, so he did it very obviously.

Since this Lu Su was plotting for Sun Ce's confidant, how could Zhou Yu not pay attention?

He had been staring at the other party closely in the morning, and his gesticulating movements had already exposed his intentions.

After a while, seeing that the situation hadn't changed, Cheng Pu gritted his teeth and made up his mind to aim at Wei Tao with his bow and arrow. After aiming for a moment, Cheng Pu immediately let go.

"call out!"

The arrow that leaves the string is extremely fast, if Wei Tao doesn't dodge quickly, then the arrow will hit his chest, and although he won't die by then, he will be injured!

"Thief, you can stab someone in the back!"

Just as Cheng Pu shot the arrow, an order sounded.

"call out!"

Following the sound of the order, an arrow was shot directly, and its speed was not as fast as that of Cheng Pu's.

"Clap!"

Although it was fired later, it arrived first, and this arrow hit Cheng Pu's arrow, and just shot it down. Everyone looked at it, and the man still kept the appearance of just shooting the arrow. It was none other than Tai Shi Charity!
"Treacherous villain, if you lose in a martial arts competition, you will stab someone in the back! Sun Ce! In this case, you will be shot by me!"

As soon as the words fell, Tai Shici stretched out his hand and pulled out an arrow and shot it. The arrow was so fast that it shot towards Sun Ce's face in the blink of an eye.

"what!"

No one expected that Tai Shici's counterattack would come so quickly. Sun Ce's generals, including Lu Su and Cheng Pu, couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although it didn't take long, Sun Ce was actually alert at this time. Hearing the exclamation of his soldiers, he immediately turned sideways and danced, trying to dodge Tai Shici's arrow.

"call out!"

At this moment, a soft sound flew past Sun Ce's head, but Sun Ce didn't feel the slightest pain. He didn't know why for a while, and only thought that he had avoided the arrow.

"hiss……"

But at this time, many generals under Sun Ce's command took a deep breath.

"Sun Ce, this time I will only take the red tassel on your helmet. If you dare to order someone to stab someone in the back, I will take your life!"

Just when Sun Ce was a little confused, Tai Shici's voice rang out, whether it was Sun Ce's order or not, it was Sun Ce's fault just now.

But at this moment, Sun Ce couldn't care about these things. Looking back, he saw that the arrow shot by Tai Shici passed through a red tassel, and that red tassel was also on his helmet.

This arrow was obviously Tai Shici's mercy, otherwise, this arrow might be enough to take Sun Ce's life.

After all this, Wei Tao took advantage of the situation and withdrew his hand, but his face was extremely ugly.

Wei Tao is also a human being, even if he has been a human being for two lifetimes, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent when his life is threatened.

"Hehe... Everyone in the world says that Jiangdong's little overlord is upright, but now it seems that's all there is to it. Sun Ce, tell me who will win and who will lose in this battle?"

Wei Tao's words were somewhat insulting to Sun Ce, but Sun Ce was wronged first, even if he was insulted by Wei Tao, he couldn't refute it, and his complexion became extremely ugly.

"This time I lost! No matter who you are, I remember you, and one day I will ask you for advice!"

Sun Ce cherishes his face the most, so he is not willing to stay and suffer humiliation, but Sun Ce is Sun Ce after all, so he didn't say what he said, so he said it again.

"Within one month, I won't attack Jiujiang again, let you come and go, but if you don't leave at that time, then please have a real life-and-death battle with me! Let's go!"

Forcibly suppressing the resentment in his heart, Sun Ce directly led his people away from here, and then all the army ships that originally attacked Jiujiang City withdrew one after another in an orderly manner, which is not easy just by looking at it.

"Hehe...it was thanks to Ziyi's sharp shot."

Seeing Sun Ce leave, Wei Tao smiled at Tai Shici and said.

"I didn't expect that Lu Su, who is honest and honest, would do this kind of trick. It seems that we need to leave as soon as possible. If we are counted by him, I am afraid that we will not be able to leave even if we want to."

"Hehe...My lord's words are too modest. When Sun Ce's territory, Wujun, Yuzhang, Kuaiji and other places heard the news of the Jingzhou army's attack, not to mention the attack on Jiujiang, it is impossible for Sun Ce to retreat quickly. "

At this moment, Zhou Yu laughed.

"However, Yuan Shu is just getting cheaper in this way. Jiujiang, which is already out of control, is probably going to surrender to Yuan Shu again, and even other counties will do the same. It's really..."

Speaking of this, Wei Tao shook his head, unwilling to think too much, and then ordered.

"We first entered Jiujiang City to replenish food and water sources, and then immediately set sail and returned to Jizhou as soon as possible. Although this place in the south of the Yangtze River is good, it is no longer peaceful."

"promise!"

As the generals responded, some people went to Jiujiang to shout. Of course, it was impossible to use the banner of Wei Tao at this time, but borrowed the banner of Jingzhou Jiangxia, saying that they had received a request to come to the rescue.

Hearing that it was reinforcements, the gate of Jiujiang City was opened very soon. Wei Tao was surprised by how simple it was. Are these people not afraid that they are here to cheat the city?
After careful questioning, I found out that even if the reinforcements arrived, it was absolutely impossible to open the city gate so easily, but not long ago, Wei Tao fought with Sun Ce, and if Sun Ce did not retreat just now, it would take half an hour at most Break Jiujiang.

The most important thing is that the Jiujiang prefect died, and now Jiujiang city can be said to be without a leader, and it turned out that only the aristocratic families in the city sent people to maintain it.

"Jiujiang prefect is dead? How did he die?"

However, when Wei Tao heard the news, he was quite curious, whether the Jiujiang prefect would fight Sun Ce one-on-one, if not, how could he be killed so easily with the guardian of Gaocheng.

The answers available made Wei Tao speechless.

It turned out that after hearing about the arrival of Sun Ce's army, the Jiujiang prefect didn't dare to defend against the enemy, and just ran away, but instead bumped into Sun Ce's army and was killed directly.

If it weren't for the fact that the aristocratic families in the city were dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's self-seeking, but also had an inexplicable fear of Sun Ce, this would be a concerted defense, and Jiujiang would not fall.

After all, Jiangdong's Little Overlord, the name 'Overlord' has never represented benevolence and righteousness.

"Gongjin, if that's the case, can you..."

Wei Tao's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said.

"My lord, are you talking about plundering Jiujiang's stored grain?"

Originally, it is not impossible to rely on money to buy food, but it is impossible to carry too much money with him, so Wei Tao still planned to use his name to discuss with the Jiujiang prefect, and even exposed him No hesitating about identity.

How could there be such a good thing.

"That's right, otherwise it would be impossible to rob the people of Jiujiang directly. Even though I don't care about my reputation, I should still think about the people of Jiujiang. Otherwise, won't people point at my spine and scold me?"

Wei Tao responded with a smile, this is indeed his own idea, as Jiujiang is a big city, there must be a lot of food in storage, as long as it is taken out, it will be enough to support him to return to Jizhou.

"If that's the case, my lord might as well entertain the powerful people of many aristocratic families. If not, they will definitely be able to see our plan. When Jiujiang is in chaos, it will not be easy to leave even if they want to leave."

"Yes, that's right."

Wei Tao immediately acted according to the plan, and at the same time ordered Gan Ning to secretly lead to the Jiujiang treasury to quietly deliver his supplies. Because he didn't want people to know, the delivery speed was not fast.

In order to cover up Gan Ning's actions, Wei Tao naturally actively contacted the major families in Jiujiang City, and those noble families were naturally happy to see him here, and treated him enthusiastically.

After such a delay for a day or two, these aristocratic families gradually felt a little bit wrong, because although Wei Tao was a banquet, he did not talk about defending against Sun Ce, and there were not many reinforcements coming, only two or three thousand people, although not small help, but in their view, there are still some shortcomings.

Of course, the various aristocratic families naturally would not think of Wei Tao's real identity, they just thought that Wei Tao took the opportunity to beat them, and even Liu Biao secretly wanted to control Jiujiang.

Thinking of this, many people from the big clan were secretly moved. They thought, if this is the case, then there must be a battle between Liu Biao and Sun Ce. Wouldn't it be best to wait and see the situation and take refuge?
In the final analysis, these aristocratic families were most concerned about themselves. They led people to resist Sun Ce only because Sun Ce came in a hurry.

So after some discussion, he finally took the initiative to invite Wei Tao to come.

Wei Tao still wanted to buy as much time as possible, so he naturally would not refuse, so he was invited immediately.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a group of people coming out of the room. The leader was an old man. Although his beard and hair were beginning to turn white, he was very energetic, but at this moment his face was full of anger and a trace of gray. When seeing Wei Tao, his eyes showed a kind of helplessness.

Wei Tao and Zhou Yu are so keen, they immediately noticed his mistake, but the mansion is surrounded by their own hands, there is no ambush, although they feel it, it is impossible to retreat because of it.

"Hehe...Wen has met Mr. Qiao and all the sages. Please forgive me for being late."

Wei Tao directly used the name of Jingzhou Wenpin at this time. Wenpin was born in a wealthy family in Jingzhou. He was a general of Jingzhou.

And the old man's surname is Qiao, this is the Qiao family compound, because these big families are not official officials, so naturally it is impossible to discuss any important matters with Wei Tao directly, that's all there is to it.

And Mr. Qiao is the master of this place, so it is natural to take him as the leader. At this time, he hurriedly handed over his hands and said.

"Don't dare! Don't dare! My lord is busy with Jiujiang affairs, so I should wait. Please come inside! Please!"

This Duke Qiao is obviously not a brave person, seeing Wei Tao like this, he immediately took two steps and said hastily.

Seeing this, Wei Tao smiled even more, and then walked into the room with him.
