Great Han Empire

Chapter 887 Troubled Times Heroic Chapter Wins Central Plains
Shooting Eagle Pavilion.

It is rainy and cold in spring, and the distance is like Daishan forest bathed in milky white mist, just like a beautiful girl wearing a light gauze, hazy and dreamlike.

On the muddy road, a team of people was advancing rapidly in the light rain.

"My lord, twenty miles ahead will be Jiujiang County." Cheng Pu stopped his horse, turned around and said to Sun Ce, "Yuan Yao's stopping and fighting is obviously suspected of luring the enemy, we'd better be careful. "

Sun Cejian frowned slightly, waved the horsewhip lightly in his hand, and said disdainfully: "Luring the enemy? What did he use to ambush me? A group of yellow turban thieves? Order all the ministries to speed up, chase hard, don't let Yuan Yao go! kid."

Cheng Pu hesitated to speak.Years ago, the army finally defeated Huang Zu and took Jiangxia, but because Xuzhou Cao Cao and Yangzhou Yuan Yao led the army to kill Jiangbei two counties and threatened Jiangdong, the army had to give up the victory and return to Lujiang.Several months of conquests were in vain, and the plan to occupy Jingzhou failed. This made Sun Ce furious, and vowed to drive Cao Cao and Yuan Yao out of the two counties in Jiangbei to avenge his abandonment of guarding Jiangxia.Now that Cao Cao has been defeated by Sun Ce, if Yuan Yao is killed near Chaohu Lake, Lujiang County will be as solid as a rock, and the army can immediately kill Jiujiang County.Now Sun Ce is in high spirits and can't listen to anything.

At this time, the battle drums ahead were thundering, and Yuan Yao's men turned around again to stop Jiangdong's army.

"I'll go to the front." Sun CE lashed out his whip and shouted, "You command all the troops to rush forward. Before dark, you must surround Yuan Yao and wipe him out."

Sun Ce led a team of personal guards and cavalry to kill the enemy directly, which was unstoppable.

Dong Xi and Chen Wu each led a vanguard army to take advantage of the momentum and charged forward.

Yuan Yao's army couldn't hold back and retreated quickly.The two armies were entangled and in chaos.

"Boom..." Suddenly, drums rang out in the mountains on both sides of the avenue, and the black arrows rushed out of the thin mist with deafening roars and shot into the battlefield.

The Jiangdong army was caught off guard, and a large area fell in an instant.Sun Ce was shocked, raised his gun and yelled, "Get out, get out, hurry up..."

Not waiting for the sound of the golden gong of the Jiangdong Army, the earth-shattering sound of killing was accompanied by a tidal wave of ambush soldiers rushing out of the forest, "Kill..."

The generals and soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were terrified, and they fled in panic one by one.

Cao Cao's Xuzhou Army and Yuan Yao's Yangzhou Army swarmed up from all directions, killing wantonly, and blood and blood flew all over the battlefield.

=

Sun Ce, Dong Xi, and Chen Wu each led their personal guards and fought hard, intending to tear open the gap and break out of the encirclement.

At the same time, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other Jiangdong Titans also led their armies to attack forward, breaking through Cao Jun's blocking at all costs, and rescued Sun Ce.

During the melee, the cavalry on horseback became a striking target, and the arrows poured down like rain.The cavalrymen in Jiangdong County screamed and fell down from their horses. Sun Ce's mount was also pierced by the sharp arrows, and fell to the ground with a loud hiss.The personal guards were in a hurry, desperately protecting Sun Ce.Dong Xi and Chen Wu attacked from the left and right, and the three teams formed a cone formation, tried their best to break out of the road full of corpses, and charged towards a nearby hill.

Yuan Yao was covered in blood, and the spear in his hand was like a bloodthirsty raging dragon, wantonly devouring the life of the enemy. A pair of blood-red eyes stared at the crowd breaking out in front, and shouted hoarsely, "Surround Sun Ce, surround Sun Ce! , kill him for me, kill him..."

Brothers in the past, enemies of life and death today, finally collide together, fate is sometimes cruel and ruthless like this.When Yuan Yao saw Sun Ce, his anger instantly ignited his body. Like a roaring beast, he opened his mouth and let out a long and mournful howl, "Kill..." The bloody spear carried Yuan Yao's soaring hatred and invincible power He bumped into the enemy formation fiercely, no one could stop him, he was invincible, one enemy after another fell under his feet, one corpse after another flew into the air with blood soaring into the sky.The soldiers following Yuan Yao were all Yuan Shu's most loyal subordinates. They roared furiously, marched forward and fought fiercely, vowing to kill their enemies and avenge their old lord.

Dong Xi and Chen Wu led their troops to stop the crazy Yuan Yao.Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai covered Sun Ce and rushed up the hill, formed a formation and stood firm, waiting for reinforcements.

Yuan Yao snarled his spear and smashed the leather shield with astonishing force. The sharp spear tip pierced Dong Xi's shoulder blade in an instant, "Go to hell..." Yuan Yao just wanted to kill, when a gust of cold wind hit his head.Sun Ce's saber was like a rainbow, and he slashed head-on, "Kill..."

Yuan Yao still dropped the spear, retreated a few steps quickly, and quickly pulled out the saber from behind with his right hand, and then the human saber merged into one, and rushed forward again at an unimaginable speed, "Take the head..."

Yuan Yao is risking his life, the situation is irresistible.In front of Dong Xi, Sun Cehu blocked Yuan Yao seven times in one go.After seven swords, Yuan Yao was exhausted and took a breath. At this moment, Sun Ce launched, and the saber was like lightning, attacking frantically.Unable to resist, Yuan Yao took three steps back.With a long roar, Sun Ce raised his saber and thundered down.

"Kill..." The three spears suddenly moved forward side by side, stabbing in the air.Sun Ce exclaimed in astonishment, blocked with his sword and shield, and retreated quickly.

=

"Boom...boom..." The drums rang loudly, and the Jiangdong Army broke through Cao Jun's blockade, roaring towards them.

Things took a turn for the worse.Cao Cao resolutely ordered to withdraw from the battlefield, so as to prevent the army from falling into a melee and suffering unnecessary losses.

"Kill him, kill him..." Yuan Yao heard the sound of the golden gong, heard the thunderous roar of the Jiangdong Army, and shouted wildly, "Shoot the crossbow, shoot..."

Sun Ce chopped off his opponent's head with a single knife, and with a roar of a tiger, he smashed down the shield with his left hand, sending the enemy pawn on the left flying into the air.The saber roared fiercely, and with a splash of blood, it stabbed fiercely into the chest of the third enemy.Sun Ce was about to draw his knife, but saw the enemy soldier grinning ferociously at him, "Master Xu Gong asked me to kill you, luckily I did not disgrace my life."

Sun Ce was startled, he saw the short crossbow in the enemy's hand from the corner of his eye, and was frightened out of his wits. He held up the shield in his left hand, raised his right foot and kicked, "Get lost..."

"Xuuuuuuuuu..." Three crossbow arrows shot out through the air.Two flew into the sky, and one pierced through the shield and nailed straight into Sun Ce's face.

Sun Ce howled miserably, stepped back several steps, and fell on his back.

"Go, go, go..." Seeing Sun Ce's crossbow fell to the ground, Yuan Yao was ecstatic in his heart, and kept shouting, "Retreat, withdraw..."

=

The Jiangdong Army quickly retreated to Shucheng.

Sun Ce was unconscious.The crossbow arrow was nailed to the front door and could not be removed, and his life was at stake.

Sun Quan, Sun Ben, Cheng Pu, Lu Fan, Zhang Hong and other Jiangdong officials were anxious and anxious, discussing countermeasures day and night.

Once Sun Ce died of heavy casualties, Jiangdong was in immediate crisis.Now that the morale of the army is low, it is unrealistic to compete with Cao Cao and Yuan Yao in Jiangbei for the two counties of Jiangbei, so they can only withdraw to Jiangdong and stick to it.After Cao Cao and Yuan Yao got the two counties of Jiangbei, they confronted Jiangdong across the river, and a more violent attack was about to begin. However, Cao Cao and Yuan Yao's strength was limited, and they could not pose a fatal threat to Jiangdong for the time being.Now it is not external worries that pose a fatal threat to Jiangdong, but internal troubles.

"After Liu Biao withdrew his troops, Zhou Yu, after learning that the Jingzhou Navy had entered Dongting Lake to use troops against Changsha, immediately led his troops away from Pengze and rushed down the river to the Lujiang River." Zhang Hong pointed to the map on the desk, worried Said, "Once Zhou Yu knows that your lord is seriously injured and your life is at stake, it is very likely that you will order the navy to control the Yangtze River and cut off our way back to Danyang. In this way, we will be caught in two attacks. The soldiers are unwilling to fight, and failure is inevitable. " Zhang Hong looked up at the crowd and sighed sadly, "If our entire army is wiped out, Zhou Yu can get the four Jiangdong counties without any effort."

The generals were silent.The conflict between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu has a long history.At that time, Sun Ce was ordered by Yuan Shu to cross the south of the Yangtze River and attack the four counties in the east of the Yangtze River. Zhou Yu led the army to help. He led the army to attack Wu County and Kuaiji County.There are many reasons why Sun Ce threw Zhou Yu aside, but a rift appeared in the friendship between the two.Soon Zhou Yu left Jiangdong on the grounds of escorting his uncle back home, and returned to Shouchun to serve Yuan Shu.Although they joined hands to attack Yuan Shu again later, this time Zhou Yu obviously learned the lessons of the year, and the surprise army raided Yuzhang, occupying a place in Jiangdong, and fighting against Sun Ce.However, due to the situation in Jiangdong, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu each took a step back, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and joined forces to defend Jiangdong.

Now that Sun Ce is dead, even if someone from the Sun family continues to control Jiangdong, they will not be able to compare with Zhou Yu in the short term in terms of prestige or strength.Although the Sun family currently has an advantage in military strength, its superiority in military strength does not mean that the Sun family has the strength to defeat Zhou Yu.If Zhou Yu is determined to turn against the Sun family and dominate Jiangdong, the Sun family will not be able to resist Zhou Yu's attack.

=

It has been more than five years since Sun Ce arrived in Jiangdong, and he still has not stabilized the three counties in Jiangdong. However, Zhou Yu has only been in Yuzhang County for more than two years, and he has managed Yuzhang County in an orderly manner. birth.

Sun Jian was born in Fuchun, Wujun, Yangzhou, a low-class noble family who was not good at scriptures. It is said that his ancestor was a melon farmer named Sun Zhong.This melon farmer is kind and generous, and he has benefited his descendants. In Sun Jian's father's generation, his family has already prospered, and he is considered a small rich man in the local area.At that time, the imperial court sold officials and nobles, and Sun Jian's ancestors spent money to buy a "scholar" loan, and because of this "scholar" loan status, Sun Jian went to the county government as a small official at the age of 17. It is said that when Sun Jian was born, , the family's ancestral graves are looking blue, and a nobleman is about to come out. Now it seems that this nobleman has fallen on Sun Jian.

When Sun Jian became an official, when people asked about his ancestors, he couldn't say that his ancestors were melon farmers, so he said that he was a descendant of Sun Wu.Sun Wu, the soldier saint, is so famous, who doesn't know?But from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, more than 600 years have passed, anyone surnamed Sun in Wu County can say that he is a descendant of Sun Wu.It is really helpless for Sun Jian to say that he is a descendant of Sun Wu. In those days, he could not boast, otherwise people would look down on you.It is fine for Sun Jian to fool ordinary people with these words, but it is not enough to fool high-ranking families.

Sun Jian once went out to sea with his father on errands, and when he came back, he met a group of pirates in Qiantang.If you don't resist, you will definitely die. If you resist, there may be a way out. Fight hard.Sun Jian was so powerful that he killed all the pirates by himself.However, it is estimated that there are more people who fell into the water and escaped. Pirates are not idiots. They are waiting on the boat to cut off your head. But anyway, Sun Jian acted bravely and had high morals. He saved a boatload of people and was famous in Wu County for a while.

Sun Jian became famous, and beauties also visited him.Since ancient times, heroes love beautiful women. This kind of story has been passed down for thousands of years. In every era, there are such heroes who turn into red faces in anger.I don't know if Mrs. Sun was on that boat back then, and I don't know if Sun Jian was filled with righteous indignation because he saw that this beautiful girl was about to fall into the clutches of the devil. In short, Sun Jian fell in love with the beauty of the Wu family and insisted on marrying her.

The beauty of the Wu family was originally from Wucheng, Wujun, and her family was also a second-class gentleman who was not good at scriptures. Her parents died early, and she went to Qiantang with her younger brother Sun Jing to join relatives.It is estimated that this relative is an official, maybe her uncle or uncle or something.This marriage was originally a good one, the hero and the beautiful woman were well-matched and impeccable, but things took a long time and something went wrong.Qiantang is not far from Fuchun, only about a dozen miles away.Now that Sun Jian is famous, the story about the rotten sesame seeds in his family has been widely spread by good people. Of course, the most famous thing must be the smoke from the ancestral grave.The relative of the Wu family inquired carefully, and found out that the Sun family was an upstart melon farmer, and the "scholar" was bought with money.

Who is Sun Jian?How can you let your wish come true and let your beloved woman become someone else's bride?I don't know what "civil and military" means Sun Jian used, but the Wu family felt a huge threat.Wu Meiren advised the family members not to let the whole family suffer because of me alone, get married and resign to fate.Sun Jian had his wish come true, so he married the beauty of the Wu family back.Then Sun Jian was summoned by his teacher Zhu Jun, and with his brother-in-law Wu Jing, he started the most glorious fighting career in his life.

Speaking of this, it can be summed up in one sentence, the Sun family's status in the Han Dynasty was too poor, and they were the bottom of the gentry. Even if Sun Jian was later worshiped as General Polu, he still couldn't change his background, just like He Jin has become a great general, but his background is still a butcher, and he is ridiculed and bullied.

Sun Jian is dead, and his son, Sun Ce, is unknown. If he wants literature but no literature, he wants martial arts but no martial arts.But it was such a person, Yuan Shu favored him a lot, not only gave him army, money and food, but also let him go to Jiangdong.

I don't know if Yuan Shu's brain has been spoiled by gambling. In short, he has a problem with his vision and his thinking is different from ordinary people.It stands to reason that the ultimate goal of Yuan Shu's sending Sun Ce to fight Jiangdong was to occupy the four counties in Jiangdong and take Yangzhou as his own.In order to quickly increase his own strength, take down the four Jiangdong counties as soon as possible, and stabilize the four Jiangdong counties, Yuan Shu must defeat the armies of Liu Yao, Xue Li, Ruo Rong and others on the one hand, and on the other hand, try his best to win over the rich and powerful in Jiangdong.As long as they get the support of Jiangdong's rich and powerful, wouldn't the Jiangdong four counties be within reach?How can we get the support of the rich and powerful in Jiangdong?Suppression by force is of course the bottom line, and the top line should be to appease the rich and powerful in Jiangdong, convince them sincerely, and let them benefit.From this goal, Yuan Shu should personally lead the army, or let his son Yuan Yao lead the army is the most appropriate.After all, the four generations and four princes of the Yuan Clan are the number one clan in the world today. Compared with the Yuan Clan, these high-ranking families in Jiangdong are simply "rich locals" in the locality.In addition, everyone is from a family of officials and officials, with the same interests and easy communication.

But Yuan Shu didn't know what was wrong with his mind, and ignored the advice of his subordinates, and let Sun Ce go to fight Jiangdong.

For the rich and powerful in Jiangdong, whether it is Liu Yao from Yanzhou or Yuan Shu from Runan, they are all outsiders, and leading an army across the river to attack is considered an "invasion".Liu Yao came from a powerful family and was a local governor appointed by the Chang'an court, while Yuan Shu was from a more noble family and a higher official, and was appointed a later general by the Luoyang court.But regardless of whether Liu Yao and Yuan Shu are opponents of the same level, and no matter who wins the battle, Jiangdong's rich and powerful will "choose a tree to live in", and will not take up arms to resist the "invaders".

However, if the "invader" was replaced by Sun Ce, the situation would be completely different.

Who is Sun Ce?Born in a melon farming upstart, a low-level lieutenant appointed by Yuan Shu because of his father's Yu Yin, and the elite under his command are all Jiangbei Ququ left by his father. It also became an "invader" in his eyes.Let me ask, who is willing to lower their status and show respect to a little boy with a humble background, no civil or military achievements, and no beard?Even respect him as the Lord of Jiangdong?Even if Yuan Shu is behind him, how can we give you face if you, Yuan Shu, have been trampled on by us Jiangdong rich and powerful?
Sun Ce's first battle in Jiangdong was defeated, and although he won one after another, he fought for more than half a year in only one Danyang County, and he still hadn't won all of them.

Half a year later, Liu Yao, Xue Li, and Ruo Rong are not only still alive, but also have an army in their hands.Zongshuai Zulang of Jiangdong also took the opportunity to take part in the attack on Sun Ce with his troops.Sun Ce encountered unprecedented resistance in Jiangdong.Why?Although his opponents have been defeated in succession, they have the absolute support of Jiangdong's rich and wealthy behind them, money, food, arms, and even troops can be quickly replenished.Fighting against such a tenacious opponent, not to mention Sun Ce, no one can stand it.

Who is Sun Ce?In his bones, like his father, he belongs to the kind of violent and cruel person.Since you are unwilling to submit to me and oppose me, then why do I keep you?kill.

Once the butcher knife is raised, it is difficult to put it down.Everywhere Sun Ce went, he would kill the powerful and wealthy first, whether it was reasonable or unreasonable, he would kill them later.In this way, even if there are those who are willing to surrender, they have to think carefully.The harder Sun Ce killed, the greater the power of resistance, so Jiangdong was bloody, and the killer and the victim never stopped killing each other from beginning to end.The death of Xu Gong, the former prefect of Wu County, can illustrate the problem.Xu Gong had surrendered, but Sun Ce was still killing people.The original intention of Xu Gong's surrender was to let Sun Ce stop killing people, but Sun Ce couldn't hold back, forcing Xu Gong to betray Sun Ce and take up arms again to protect himself, which resulted in even greater murders.

Although the crazy killing made Sun Ce's attack much smoother, the resistance he encountered was also more violent.In Jiangdong, not only the soldiers of the county and the state did not surrender, but also the local suzerains in Jiangdong did not surrender, and even bandits and pirates such as Yan Baihu did not surrender.Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji County, resisted tenaciously, and finally fled to Guling and held on for half a year. After Wang Lang failed, Yan Baihu still persisted in resisting in the Yuhang area until he was executed by Dong Xi.It took more than two years for Sun Ce to pacify the three counties in Jiangdong, which shows how strong and persistent the resistance he encountered was.

At the same time, Sun Ce's internal divisions also began to split.Zhou Yu was the first to split with Sun Ce.Zhou Yu came from a prominent family, and his family was quite well-known in the Jianghuai area, so the Sun family naturally couldn't hold a candle to him.The Zhou family has been handed down for a long time, and there are many relatives, disciples and old officials, and most of them are in the Jianghuai area.Such a killing by Sun Ce must have involved the interests of the Zhou family, and of course Zhou Yu strongly opposed it.At this time, Sun Ce kicked him to Danyang to play the piano as a tribute, for his own survival and regardless of his friend's affection.

Although Sun Ce's move was unavoidable, the number of specific targets he killed became wider and wider, and as time went on, this kind of killing became more and more out of control.Blindly killing indiscriminately will inevitably arouse extreme resentment and strong resistance from the rich and powerful in Jiangdong. As a result, the situation in Jiangdong has been in turmoil for a long time, and rebels come and go one after another.

The more famous one is the rebellion of more than [-] people assembled by Wucheng Zouta, Qian Tong, and former Hepu prefect Jiaxing Wang Sheng. This rebellion lasted for more than five months, and Sun Jian took a lot of effort to put it down.Wang Sheng and Sun Jian are good friends, and Sun Ce wanted to kill his nine clans, but Mrs. Sun stepped forward and tried her best to dissuade him.Sun Ce didn't want to disobey his mother's wishes, so Wang Sheng was spared.

Sun Ce killed a lot, and later got used to it, not killing people.Yu Ji is an alchemist who is good at Taoism and has countless disciples. He is famous for curing diseases and saving people in various places in Jiangdong, and the people call him a master.Once when Sun Ce was entertaining Jiangdong civil and military officials on the tower, it happened that Yu Ji passed by downstairs.The common people gathered and shouted, and most of the civil and military officials came downstairs to pay respects.Sun Ce was furious, and immediately ordered him to be taken into custody and executed at a certain date.The big officials begged to be ineffective, so they asked their family members to beg Mrs. Sun, but Mrs. Sun's advice was useless.Yu Ji was killed inexplicably in this way.

Sun Ce's character became more and more violent with the continuous killing.Jiangdong officials kept silent like cicadas, cautiously.Gongcao worked in Wei Teng once drank too much wine, and bravely persuaded him a few words.Without saying a word, Sun Ce put him in prison and wanted to behead him.This time Mrs. Sun got angry. She stood by the well and said to Sun Ce, if you don't let him out, I will jump into the well and die.Sun Ce then spared Wei Teng.

Sun Ce’s military suppression strategy in Jiangdong, because of Sun Ce’s bravery and cruelty, has tens of thousands of troops stationed in various places. At present, it is still able to control and maintain the three counties of Jiangdong, but once Sun Ce is gone, no one can restrain the Jiangdong army. , Jiangdong's crisis can come to a general outbreak at any time.

Once this crisis breaks out, the three Jiangdong counties are bound to be in chaos, and Zhou Yu, who is close at hand, can take advantage of the opportunity to win the Jiangdong three counties by virtue of his prominent background, and the reputation and strength he has gained in Jianghuai and Jiangdong in the past few years.It can even be said that once the news of Sun Ce's death spreads across Jiangdong, and Sun Ce's main force is trapped in Jiangbei, then at this moment, Zhou Yu only needs to bring thousands of troops and hundreds of carts of generous gifts, and walk all the way, eat, drink and drink. Drinking, playing the piano, and chatting, you can take Jiangdong without bloodshed.

In the past few years, Sun Ce has killed people there, and Zhou Yu has taken in fugitives here.Sun Ce attacked the rich and powerful in Jiangdong over there, and appointed a large number of exiled scholars who had taken refuge southward from the Central Plains, Shandong and other places as officials, while Zhou Yu appeased the rich and powerful here, appointed a large number of Jiangdong scholars, and strived to localize Jiangdong.One ebbs and the other, the transformation of strength is self-evident.

Sun Ce woke up.

"Withdraw, quickly withdraw to Danyang." This was the first sentence Sun Ce said after waking up.

"Urgently tell Zhou Yu that Lujiang County has fallen, please lead his army back to Yuzhang, sit in Chaisang, and resist Liu Biao in Jingzhou."

"Boyang (Sun Ben), you rush to Hebei immediately, bow your head to the Jinyang court, and ask General Li Hong to send troops to Xuzhou immediately to contain Cao Cao's army and prevent Cao Cao from attacking Jiangdong."

After Sun Ce finished these three sentences, he exhausted all his energy, and then passed out again.

That night, Sun Quan led his army to withdraw from Shucheng, rushed to Caishiji Ferry, and quickly retreated to Danyang.

=

Zhou Yu's navy arrived at Jiuqudu, a hundred miles away from Wancheng.

Sun Ce's order made Zhou Yu feel very strange.A few days ago, Sun Ce said in a letter that he had discovered Yuan Yao's army and was leading the army to encircle and suppress them. How could Lujiang County be lost in a blink of an eye?Even if Yuan Yao and Cao Cao join forces, even if the two armies fly with wings, it is impossible to take Lujiang so quickly.What does Sun Ce want to do again?Want to monopolize the two counties in Jiangbei?Most of Lujiang County has been controlled by me, he will not turn his face and deny people, even Lujiang County wants to eat it in one bite, right?

Zhou Yu ordered the army not to disembark for the time being, and first sent people to Wancheng and Juchao to inquire about the news.

That night, the scouts reported back with letters from the county magistrates of Wancheng and Juchao, but they did not find Cao Cao and Yuan Yao's army, nor did they receive a letter from Sun Ce asking them to evacuate Jiangbei.

What kind of mystery is Sun Ce playing?Zhou Yu couldn't figure it out.

The next morning, the scouts who went to Shucheng reported back quickly. Cao Cao and Yuan Yao's army occupied Shucheng, and Sun Ce's army had already withdrawn. It is estimated that they crossed the river from the direction of Caishiji and returned to Jiangdong.

"What is Bofu up to?" Zhou Yu was furious, and went up against the case, "It's just a defeat, why abandon the whole Lujiang River? Even if there is a rebellion in Jiangdong, you shouldn't completely abandon Lujiang River, and let me suffer such a loss."

Zhou Yu immediately commanded the army to quickly support Wancheng and Juchao, and was ready to fight again with the whole army to recapture Lujiang River. It was Juchao commander Qin Xu who came flying, "Gongjin, I have a definite news that Sun Ce was seriously injured. Life is at stake."

Zhou Yu's expression changed in shock, "The news is reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable."

"Send the order, the army rushes to Caishiji."
