Chapter 51 Tai Shici

You County was once again heavily guarded because of the arrival of the Jiangdong army. With the addition of Su Fei's 5,000 soldiers and horses, the defense became much tighter, and hundreds of military crossbows captured from the Handang battalion were all mounted on the city tower. Three steps, one post, five steps and one whistle on the tower, always paying attention to the movement in the direction of Jiangdong.

"Woo-woo..."

The long and long horn sound came from the direction of Jiangdong and resounded through this world. A big flag appeared in the sight of the soldiers guarding the city. On the flag, the two big characters "Taishi" dragons and phoenix danced, and they were about to fly out of the flag and rushed to the sky. Then a neat team appeared. The endless soldiers held big knives and long guns formed a phalanx and walked slowly. The cold light shot out of these blades, which made people's hearts cold and the originally dark sky look dull.

The phalanx walked slowly, and the low footsteps shocked the counties in the distance.

"It's Jiangdong's army, beat the drum quickly!" The general who guarded the city shouted in a hurry when he saw the Jiangdong army.

A soldier left quickly, and soon the rapid sound of drums spread to every corner of You County.

The soldiers who were chatting and resting in the camp immediately put down their things in their hands, picked up their weapons and rushed to the school yard at a speed of 100 meters. The originally noisy camp was silent for a while. After a few breaths, a phalanx has appeared on the campus.

Su Fei, who had been standing in front of him for a long time, nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Let's go." After saying that, he rushed to the gate with the soldiers. It didn't take long to rush under the tower to wait.

Su Fei climbed to the tower and glanced at it, and walked towards Liu Pan and others who had arrived first.

On the tower, Liu Pan and several people looked at the army under the city with a solemn face. The continuous army under the city was at least 30,000, which was three times that of the Handang army. Moreover, the level of equipment and the elite of the soldiers also vaguely exceeded that of Han Dang's army, and the morale of these 30,000 soldiers and horses was not low because of Han Dang's defeat. Even Liu Pan and others were secretly surprised by their high momentum.

Liu Pan looked at the towering flag, frowned and asked, "Do you know what kind of general Taishi is in Jiangdong?" He has never heard of the famous general surname Taishi in Jiangdong.

Ma Liang pondered for a while and said, "It should be Tai Shici, the general of Jiangdong."

"Tai Shi Ci?" Liu Pan said doubtfully.

Ma Liang said, "This man is a surrendering general, but he has great achievements in battle. He has a lot of prestige in Jiangdong and is deeply valued by Sun Ce. Moreover, this man's martial arts skills are excellent. There are few enemies in Jiangdong. He is one of the best generals under Sun Ce. The most important thing is that he is also familiar with the art of war and is good at leading the army.

Liu Pan said in surprise, "Why haven't I heard of such a character?" After saying that, he looked a little embarrassed.

Huo Jun changed the topic and said, "Jiangdong let this man lead the army this time, and as soon as the troops are sent, it will be 30,000. What on earth do you want to do?" Jiangdong has basically sent no more than 5,000 troops. This time, it comes first 3,000, then 10,000, and then 30,000. At first glance, these people are mobilized at a time, otherwise it is impossible to arrive so quickly.

The other people shook their heads and couldn't figure out Jiang Dong's intention.

Thirty thousand troops stopped in front of You County. The army separated a middle-aged man in his thirties and came out on a horse. The man was very bright. He came to the front of the army and pointed the sword in his hand and pointed to the city and shouted, "I'm too Shi Ziyi here. If you don't open the city to surrender, when will you wait?"

The sound of shouting spread to the city. Huo Jun and several people looked at each other angrily, secretly saying that Taishi Ci was arrogant. But he listened to Taishi and said, "If you don't accept it, even if you go out of the city to fight with me, who is not convinced?"

Liu Pan and others looked even more annoyed and couldn't wait to go out of the city to fight with him, but the 30,000 troops under the gate of the city must take the opportunity to kill him. And it's really abominable that Taishi Ci knows this but still makes fun of them.

Seeing that no one spoke, Taishi Ci sighed, "Why is there no one? There is really no one in Jingzhou.

Liu Pan couldn't help saying, "I'm not convinced. You can come up and fight with me here."

Tai Shi Ci smiled and said, "It seems that there is really no one in Jingzhou. Call a teenage child to come up." After saying that, he pretended to sigh. The 30,000 troops behind Taishi Ci burst into laughter.

The people in the city, from Liu Pan to the soldiers, were all angry and couldn't wait to rush down to the city to teach these laughing people. But he heard Ma Liang say, "Ha ha ha, General Taishi really has a good mouth like General Han. General Han also said that he would take You County within a day, but he didn't expect to leave first a day later. Hey, I was really ashamed to think that You County was not well received. Will General Taishi also take this city tomorrow?

After saying that, Ma Liang's angry soldiers in the city laughed, while the 30,000 troops in the city were ashamed and angry. Even a trace of anger flashed in Tai Shici's eyes, but then disappeared.

Tai Shici looked at Ma Liang in the city and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a talent in a small county. Why don't you come to Jiangdong to work for my lord?"

Ma Liang smiled and said, "My lord also admires the general's demeanor, and he has long wanted to talk to the general for a long time."

Tai Shici said regretfully, "It's a pity that we can only meet on the battlefield. Say goodbye." After saying that, he arched his hand to Ma Liang and left with 30,000 troops.

It was not until Ma Liang, the Taishici army disappeared that he was relieved. He had noticed that although the Taishici army was strong but did not bring siege equipment, he vaguely guessed that Taishici was not here to attack the city today. Later, Tai Shici's performance also confirmed his conjecture. Tai Shici only came to fight against the garrison momentum of You County today, that is, as the saying goes, he was blocked by him.

However, Tai Shici was much more difficult to deal with than Han Dang. He knew that his plan had not been realized, and he was defeated by Ma Liang, but he took the initiative to admit Ma Liang's talent and recruited him, which did not weaken the momentum of the army, but strengthened it a little. Imagine that even a general of the enemy's small county has to be recruited, it can be seen that Taishi Ciwei is the only one.

........................

In the Chinese army tent of Jiangdong Battalion, Taishi Ci sat on the ground, with wine and vegetables on the table, and the opposite was Han Dang, a veteran of Jiangdong.

Han Dang looked at Tai Shici and said, "How about it? It worked?"

Taishici shook his head and said, "Someone in this county has seen through my plan."

"What? Who can see through Ziyi's plan in the small You County? Han Dang was shocked. Although he was conceited and had a strong ability to command the soldiers, he was far worse than the people opposite him. If it hadn't been for the old general of Jiangdong, he would have been the fifth general long ago. Someone in this small You County actually recognized his plan.

Tai Shici said, "Do you know who this man is a pair of white-browed generals?"

Xingdang shook his head and said, "I've met this person, but I don't know who he is. He may affect tomorrow's siege."

Tai Shici shook his head and said, "No, the siege has nothing to do with plots. Besides, I already know this person, so naturally I won't use these tricks."

Han Dang nodded. He didn't see any impact on him when he attacked the city, but when he thought of this, Han Dang asked, "Are you really not going to chase those thousand cavalry? You should know that Liu Qi is likely to be in it.

Tai Shici said, "No, I have asked that the road is not possible. They should have known that I camped here and will not turn back. I can only move forward and get lost in the mountains. Besides, the rush of miasma and poisons in the mountains may not only find anyone, but also damage the soldiers and horses. In addition, it's hard to say whether Liu Qi is in it or not?

Although Han Dang knew that what Tai Shici said was reasonable, he was still worried, but he was not good at losing the army and then borrowed soldiers from Taishici.
