Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 168 Zhou Yu Borrows Food
I saw that this man was seven feet seven inches long, with a beautiful beard and a wolf waist and ape arms. He was Tai Shici from Donglai, with the style name Ziyi.

When Tai Shici was still in Donglai, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, was once besieged by the Yellow Turban Army Guan Hai. Tai Shici was ordered by his mother to go to help. Kong Rong wanted to ask Liu Bei, Prime Minister of Pingyuan, for help. Unfortunately, no one in the city was willing to come out of the siege, so Tai Shici asked for help. Please try a line.

Kong Rong asked: "Now the Yellow Turban Army is heavily surrounded, and everyone says it is difficult to break through. Can you get out?"

Tai Shici replied: "In the past, the lord of the government devoted himself to taking care of my mother. My mother was grateful for the lord's kindness, so she sent me to help the lord of the government. Now everyone says that you can't break through. It's time for me to repay you. The situation is urgent. I hope the Lord will not doubt it."

So Taishi Ciyan pretended to be full, and after dawn, he took his quiver, mounted his bow and mounted his horse, led two horsemen to follow him, each holding an archery target, opened the door and went straight out of the city gate.The Yellow Turban Army was terrified, thinking that someone was going to break out of the encirclement, so they rearranged their troops and horses to take precautions.But Tai Shici only led his horse to the edge of the city moat, set up the target, practiced archery, and returned to the city after shooting the arrow.

For several days in succession, the Yellow Turban Army got used to it and gradually became unprepared, so Tai Shici rushed to break through the encirclement and gallop away.When the Yellow Turbans reacted, Tai Shici was already under a tight siege. After he took out his bow and arrows and killed several pursuers, no one dared to pursue them.

Tai Shici rushed to Pingyuan to ask Liu Bei to rescue his troops, repelled the Yellow Turban Army, and the siege of Kong Rong was broken.Liu Bei admired Tai Shici very much and wanted to recruit him. Tai Shici said: "Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, is from my hometown. He invited me to go several times, and I have already agreed. This time, I came to help you in return for the care of the Lord Confucius. , Now that the goal has been achieved, I should go to Master Liu's place." Liu Bei felt lost and had no choice but to give up.

After Taishi Ci joined Liu Yao's men, he always wanted to have a chance to fight. This time Sun Ce led the army, and he couldn't wait to ask for an order to fight.Liu Yao shook his head at Tai Shici's invitation to fight: "Sun Ce has come from a long way, and his morale is high after winning successive victories. We should stick to it and fight him when he runs out of food. Since you are asking for orders, you should take people to scout for a while. fan."

"This? All right." Tai Shici took the order and led a dozen people out of the camp to inspect.As they were walking on the road, they saw more than a dozen horses coming from a distance. A soldier said, "Look, general, it is Sun Ce and his generals who are spying on our camp. Let's avoid sending reinforcements."

Tai Shici glared at him, "I was about to fight Sun Ce, but unexpectedly I met him and captured Sun Ce. How can I miss this rare opportunity. Which one of you dares to fight with me?"

The subordinate soldiers looked at each other and backed away, only one junior officer said with emotion: "General Taishi is courageous, I will give him his all." The other minor soldiers looked at him like idiots, but this minor officer ignored them and followed them with an iron whip in his hand. Tai Shici left, and the other soldiers returned to Liu Yao's camp to report.

Seeing that there was only one person following him, Tai Shici asked, "Who are you?"

Xiaoxiao replied: "I am from Qu'a. I don't remember the name of the general. I will stop others for the general. The general can go and capture Sun Ce."

Taishi Ci pointed at Sun Ce with an iron halberd and said, "I am Donglai Taishi Ciye, how dare Sun Ce fight me?"

Sun Ce looked back at Cheng Pu and the others: "Generals, wait for me to meet him for a while." Cheng Pu wanted to stop him, but Sun Ce had already jumped on his horse and rushed towards Tai Shici, who said again, "This place is narrow, follow me. "After speaking, he pulled his horse and left, and Sun Ce chased after him.

Afraid of an ambush, Cheng Pu shouted from behind: "Young General, don't give chase!" He led Thirteen Cavalry and wanted to give chase, but the young general Qu'a blocked the road with a whip and shouted: "Hold on!"

Seeing someone blocking the way, Cheng Pu became even more panicked, and rushed towards the young general, who blocked him with an iron whip. The two fought for more than ten rounds. Cheng Pu had nothing to do with the young general.Huang Gai shouted: "I'll meet him for a while." After speaking, he came up to replace Cheng Pu and fought with the young general. All the generals took turns to fight with this young general. The young general gradually began to lose strength. He felt that Tai Shici and Sun Ce were far away. So he fought and retreated.However, when he gave way, he fell into a predicament and was gradually surrounded by the crowd. Seeing that he could not return to the camp, the young general had to break out of the siege and go to Guangling.

When Cheng Pu caught up with Sun Ce following the horseshoe prints, he couldn't help laughing. Sun Ce and Tai Shici were lying in the depression, panting, their horses missing and their armor disheveled. It belonged to Tai Shici, who held Sun Ce's helmet in his hand.It seemed that the two were exhausted from the battle.

Cheng Pu and others were about to step forward to help Sun Ce and arrest Tai Shici, when Liu Yao's large army also got the news and came to rescue.He had no choice but to rescue Sun Ce back to the camp. Sun Ce shouted, "Happy!" The generals under his command rolled their eyes.

Tai Shici returned to the camp and asked about the young general Qu'a, but there was no news. He thought he was killed in battle, and he sighed endlessly.

The next day, Sun Ce sent someone to fight with Taishici's iron halberd, but Liu Yao stopped Taishici from going out, so he sent someone to scold Sun Ce's helmet in the camp.

The two armies confronted each other for more than ten days, and suddenly flames shot up behind Liu Yao's camp, killing a man and horse.Sun Ce occupied Liu Yao's camp and seized countless supplies.

When the reinforcements came to Liu Yao's camp, the general in front of him looked like a crown jade and was suave. "Brother Bofu, don't blame me for being late!"

"Hahaha, I said why there are reinforcements. It turns out that Gong Jin came to help me." Sun Ce held Zhou Yu's hand and said, "Gong Jin came here at this time because of this opportunity."

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you. After receiving your letter, I borrowed thousands of soldiers from my uncle without telling Yuan Shu. Later I learned that you were confronting Liu Yao, so I took a detour and wasted some time."

"Thanks to Gong Jin, otherwise he wouldn't be able to defend himself, and it would be hard to beat Liu Yao back."

"I can't stay long this time, I have to return to Danyang as soon as possible, and then find an opportunity to come to help. On the way here, I also borrowed [-] hu from friends for military rations." Zhou Yu said.

"Huh? Who is so generous?"

"A native of Dongcheng, Lu Su and Lu Zijing, this man is bold, chivalrous and righteous. I passed by Dongcheng to borrow grain. He has two granaries at home, and each granary has [-] hu of grain. He directly gave me one granary. "

"Hahahaha", Sun Ce laughed loudly, "You lead troops to borrow food, who dare not lend it to you?"

"Why did Bo Fu say that?" Zhou Yu blushed, "I advised him to come to Jiangdong together, but he couldn't stay away because of his grandmother's age. Bo Fu didn't know that Lu Su's parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his grandmother. , so be filial to her grandmother and her."

Sun Ce smiled and said, "I won't talk about him. But this is indeed a good idea. In the future, when there is a shortage of food, I will take soldiers to borrow food from big households."
