Chapter 104 Jiangdong Army hides the sky and the sea
When Lu Su left in a hurry, Sun Ce closed his eyes and calmed down. Zhuge Jin and Ling Cao and other generals looked at each other and shook their heads sadly. They felt that Lord Sun originally went to Cixi County to explore the military situation, but they didn't expect to meet the enemy generals who explored the military situation halfway... But fortunately, it is estimated that both sides have achieved their goal: through one-on-one, Sun Ce's side explored Cixi County at this time. It was a super fierce general to guard, and Tai Shici's side found out that Sun Ce's army was indeed hidden in the depths of Shentingling.
At noon the next day, Sun Ce was still able to act freely. At this time, Zhang Zhao also personally sent the three-whip wine that the family had treasured for decades from the rear. Sun Ce drank three bowls of three-whip wine, and the internal force of Zhenyuan, which was consumed in his body, was recovering faster.
Everyone knelt down and sat at the table. Jing waited for Sun Ce to open his mouth and announce the order to attack Cixi County. To everyone's disappointment, Sun Ce continued to close his eyes and refresh. Until Lu Su hurried back from Cixi County with a face, he gasped and replied to Sun Ce: "Master Sun, I have been in contact with Taishi Ci. During the interview, Taishi Ci also admired Sun's personality and superb martial arts very much... For the recruitment conditions proposed by Lord Sun, General Taishi said that he would allow him to consider it when the time is ripe. Reply!"
When Sun Ce heard the words, he nodded thoughtfully, and Ling Cao, who was hot-tempered, said bluntly, "Lord Sun, don't be fooled by Tai Shici. This is obviously the thief's plan to delay the army!"
Ling Cao's remarks immediately aroused the echo of others.
When Lu Su heard the words, he hurriedly defended for Taishi Ci and said, "Master Sun, as far as I know, Liu Yu, the pastor of Qingzhou, also didn't pay much attention to Tai Shi Ci. Tai Shi Ci's words also showed his dissatisfaction with Liu Yu. Tai Shi Ci complained angrily in front of his subordinates: Liu Yu, an old bastard, did not send more troops to me. How would I resist the truth? The powerful Sun Jiajun attacked the city?! Since Liu Yao's old bastard sent Benjun to guard Cixi County, even if his nest is served by the Sun family's army, he has nothing to do with him, and Ben will not go anywhere... Lord Sun, if we bypass Cixi County and secretly march to Nanxu, near Qu'a and Yangling, or attack the city one by one or besiege to help, so on. Its unexpected strategy will definitely achieve unexpected results... Of course, in order to contain Tai Shici, we can send the super general Zhou Tai to harass Cixi County!"
When everyone heard Lu Su's advice, they fell into meditation. Sun Ce thought for a while and then said slowly, "Lu Su's plan is broken and targeted, but it is a little troublesome to operate: how can we bypass Cixi County? Go straight through Shentingling? It's impossible, because there are cliffs between the two north-south peaks of Shentingling; if you cross Poyang Lake, you have to go through hundreds of miles of swamp to the north, and there is still a miasma zone in the swamp, which is full of unexpected danger..."
Lu Su looked at Sun Ce, who was at a loss, and said with a smile, "Lord Sun, don't worry. According to the latest information we have obtained from our detailed work in Cixi County, in fact, there is also a secret channel between the two main peaks in Shentingling: there are two relatively prominent platforms one hundred meters below the two main peaks, between these two platforms. The distance is only three meters. As long as the well-trained soldiers can overcome their fear, they can easily jump over... When we reach the opposite platform, we can climb up with ropes..."
"Oh, it's so good!" Sun Ce immediately showed his face and sighed with a pleasant high-five! The generals also nodded one after another.
Sun Ce calmed down and ordered in a solemn voice, "Captain Zhou Tai, I will order you to lead 4,000 cavalry to attack Cixi County. You just need to harass, not fight head-on with Taishi Ci, as long as you restrain Tai Shici in Cixi County... Zhuge join the army, Lieutenant Ling Cao, you quickly go to the headquarters of Shentingling. , inform them to rush to the main peak of Shentingling, and he and Lieutenant Lu Su will wait at the main peak of Shentingling!"
"Ye!" After everyone agreed in unison, they got up and left separately. At this time, Sun Ce showed his gratitude and nodded to Lu Su again as a thank you. Lu Su just smiled and nodded to Sun Ce. That is, from this matter, Lu Su finally determined his position in Sun Ce's mind: he is as important and considerate as Zhou Yu, and he is of the same weight.
Lu Su knew that at this time, the Jiangdong Sun family was still in the process of rising, but there were also unstable and indisunitive factors at the senior management: the relationship between the major clans of the major rich families and Sun Ce, and the relationship between Sun Ce and his uncles. If it hadn't been for Sun Ce's excellent martial arts skills and could suppress all parties, Jiangdong Sun's Group would have been in all kinds of struggles. ......
Of course, Lu Su also saw that he followed Sun Ce to establish a great career, so he sold all his family assets and led all the resources of Cao Gang to follow Sun Ce.
Next, Lu Su followed Sun Ce, accompanied by more than a dozen bodyguards, and went straight to the main peak of Shentingling.
Vision turns to Cixi County. In the early morning of this day, Tai Shici, Gao Shun Surman, the general under his command, and Tao County Magistrate and others had breakfast in the county government. Lieutenant Zhou of the county had set out yesterday to ask Liu Yao, the pastor of Qingzhou, for food and fodder.
While eating, everyone chatted. Suddenly, the county government officials ran in in panic and reported to Taishi Ci in panic: "General Taishi, the enemy has come to attack the city!"
"Oh, is it?!" Tai Shici was unmoved. He waved his hand to the government official to withdraw.
After the servant Shi Li retreated, Tai Shici led Gao Shun Sulman and Yan Yun's bodyguards straight to the camp. The next moment, Taishi Ci led 2,000 cavalry to rush out of the gate to resist the enemy outside the moat.
When the horse rushed into the battlefield, Tai Shici looked up and saw that the enemy's general was actually his old acquaintance - Zhou Tai. At the beginning, Tai Shici handed Xiao Qiao to Zhou Tai and Cheng Pu, who welcomed their relatives, and also gave them a large amount of food and fodder and supplies. Now his former friends have become enemies of the war. Tai Shici doesn't know whether the original emotional and material investment is still effective?
And Jiangdong super fierce Zhou Tai saw Tai Shici 300 meters away, and his cold face suddenly softened. Zhou Tai, who had always known what a smile was, actually smiled happily. His two legs gently beat the horse's stomach, and the war horse paced forward with his hill-like body.
And Tai Shici also saw Zhou Tai's ugly smile than crying, which was also the center of urging the horse to slowly enter the battlefield. Finally, the two stood still ten meters apart.
"Hey hey, General Taishi, be safe and sound!" Zhou Tai arched his hand and said to Tai Shici with a smile. Zhou Tai has a rough voice, and his laughter is worse than crying.
"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Zhou Tai..." Tai Shici arched his hand and saluted, "Hey, Brother Zhou, I was fine before, but yesterday I fought with General Sun, which hurt my vitality and was shot by your archers. I would have been lying on the bed for a day and a night, and today I can barely walk down... Hey hey Brother Zhou, I won't be able to fight with you today!"
Tai Shi Ci learned from Zhou Tai's laughter, pretending to be still recovering, and a weak rogue looked at Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai is a straightforward man. He believed Tai Shici's words. He looked at Tai Shici with concern and whispered, "General Taishi, Lord Sun is similar to your situation. Hey hey, it was my companion Lieutenant Ling Cao who shot you. Of course, Lord Sun was also dissatisfied with Ling Cao afterwards... General Taishi, you yesterday. Didn't you have a discussion with Lieutenant Lu Su? Hey hey, General Taishi, I'm not your opponent, let alone fight with you when people are in danger..."
Before Tai Shici had a cliché, Zhou Tai told him all the most important secrets. It's not that Zhou Tai has no brain. The key is that he trusts Tai Shici too much. If he cares too much, he will be confused. Zhou Tai regards Tai Shici as his own person at that moment.
Facing the simple and frank Zhou Tai, Tai Shici was secretly happy in his heart: Zhou Tai's few words made him roughly guess the direction of Sun Ce's side.
"Oh, I would have thanked Brother Zhou for his kindness and care..." Tai Shici thanked Zhou Tai with a grateful face.
Zhou Tai waved his hand to Tai Shici generously, looked at Tai Shici softly, and said warmly, "General Taishi, did you take care of me at the beginning? Everyone is brothers... Don't worry, we will eliminate the old thief Liu Yao as soon as possible and vent our anger for you!"
In the end, Zhou Tai regained his cold look, and his eyes flashed with a fierce look. Then, Tai Shici took advantage of his poor health and needed to rest. He hurriedly said goodbye to Zhou Tai.
Tai Shici led his army back to the city, and Zhou Tai commanded his generals to beat drums and cheer, waved their flags and shouts to create a posture of attacking the city at any time. Of course, it's all bluffing and covering people's eyes and ears.
The Tao County magistrate did not understand this situation, so Tai Shici lied to him and said, "Zhou Tai is the eldest cousin of the general. How can he fight with the eldest cousin? As long as Zhou Tai presides over the siege, Cixi County can be saved from the scourge of war..."
