Chapter 66 Catching turtles in the urn

The three words 'Flying Tiger Army' silenced Sun Ce, and even Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu beside him.

Flying Tiger Army, how can he forget that it was the Flying Tiger Army that took his father's life? Sun Ce closed his eyes and took a deep breath before saying, "Are you sure it's the Flying Tiger Army?"

"It's the Flying Tiger Army."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Sun Ce laughed and his eyes were full of hatred. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Very good! This time, you will have no return.

Seeing Sun Ce's appearance, he said carefully, "The Flying Tiger Army has been forced into the mountains by General Taishi. At this time, I'm afraid it has been trapped in the mountains."

Sun Ce was stunned and said, "Ty it carefully."

At this time, the soldier remembered something that he hurriedly took out two bamboo slips from his body and handed them to Sun Ce and said, "This is a letter from General Taishi and General Han. In the letter, the two generals have already said it, and please have a look."

Sun Ce took the letter and read it carefully, and handed the letter to Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu to watch. Soon, Cheng Pu, Zhou Yu already knew the beginning and end of the matter.

Sun Ce waved his hand and said, "You go down and have a rest first. I will call you if you have something to do." The soldier saluted and went down to rest under the leadership of the guard.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and sighed, "I didn't expect a small county to stop my two generals in Jiangdong. What's more, it's unexpected that Jiangdong's soldiers and horses have suffered heavy losses. According to their inference, it was extremely simple to take down You County, but they didn't expect that the You County guard would be so tenacious.

Zhou Yu put down the bamboo slip and said, "Master, can you notice a person?"

Sun Ce said doubtfully, "Who is it?"

Zhou Yu pointed to Taishi Ci's bamboo slip and said, "It's what General Taishi said about Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi."

Sun Ce picked up the bamboo slip and read it and said, "It's just a scribe. Ziyi is too petty."

Zhou Yu shook his head and said solemnly, "No, General Taishi is right, but Xu Shu is a capable person."

Sun Ce was surprised and said, "Has Gongjin heard of this person?"

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Yes, this man was arrested after a swordsman killed in his early years. After being rescued by his friends, he suddenly repented. Since then, I have been looking around for famous teachers and reading a group of books. The art of war is very good. I'm afraid that Zhang Xian, a military division, has been pacified for a long time.

Sun Ce was shocked and said, "It only takes three days to get to Linxiang from the southern army. How can Xu Shu break through Linxiang and kill Zhang Xian?"

Zhou Yu shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Although I haven't seen this Xu Shu, with his talent, I'm afraid General Taishi will be in trouble.

Sun Ce asked, "Can Gong Jin have a good strategy?"

Zhou Yu said, "Lord, there is Xu Shu guarding this county. Even if I go there myself, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack. The situation in the north has been tense. At this time, it is not appropriate to fight with Jingzhou. It is not too late to withdraw troops in the future."

Although he had never heard of Xu Shu and Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu didn't care much at that time. If he goes by himself, he is sure to capture You County, but I'm afraid it will take some time. In the north, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are already mobiling troops and are about to fight. At this time, they should wait and see whether they should not fight with Jingzhou.

Sun Ce listened to Zhou Yu's words and his eyes were full of struggles. It was indeed a pity that he missed a great opportunity like this, but Zhou Yu was right. At this time, Jiangdong should gather troops to prepare for the next war, and it is not appropriate to fight with Jingzhou. Between the trade-offs, Sun Ce has made a decision: "Gong Jin is right, so let's withdraw."

Zhou Yu saw that Sun Ce agreed to withdraw from the army and smiled and said, "Master, don't you need to care. Did General Han say from time to time? Aren't a thousand flying tiger guards from Jingzhou still in Jiangdong? Then Liu Biao's eldest son is likely to be among them.

Sun Ce said doubtfully, "Didn't the thousand cavalry say that they had been trapped in the mountains?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "The Flying Tiger Army is not an ordinary soldier and horse. They are cavalry, and they are elite soldiers. A big mountain is not difficult for them at all. I think they may have gone out of the mountain at this time.

Sun Ce was shocked and said, "You mean they are in Jiangdong?" Then there was a smile on his face. He couldn't avenge Liu Biao, but he could avenge his son.

It is natural for the father to repay the debt of the son. Thinking of this, Sun Ce's eyes flashed away and shouted, "General Cheng, you lead 5,000 cavalry to encircle and suppress the Flying Tiger Army. Remember to bring my personal guards with them to let them know more. In addition, it was rumored that all over Jiangdong, anyone who found the Flying Tiger Army would immediately report it, besiege and suppress it by themselves, and beheaded one person with ten gold medals. If you find someone who dares to hide, he will destroy his clan.

Cheng Pu was shocked all over: "No." Sun Ce's personal guard, the most elite soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, only 3,000 people were selected from more than 100,000 troops in Jiangdong. Compared with the Flying Tiger Army, he did not expect that the Lord would use the Flying Tiger Army this time.

Cheng Pu was about to leave but heard Zhou Yu say, "My lord, there are only a few roads to Jingzhou trapped in Jiangdong, and my lord has to guard against it." In addition to You County and Jiangxia, there are other places from Jiangdong to Jingzhou, but the easiest is Jiangxia. Although Jiangdong and Jingzhou continue to fight, they have not blocked the business road. If Liu Qi and others pretend to be businessmen, it is very easy to get through. In addition, you can also go to Cao Cao's boundary first, and then meet Jingzhou from Cao Cao's boundary.

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, a smile flashed in Sun Ce's eyes. According to Zhou Yu, Liu Qi was equivalent to the turtle in the urn. Sun Ce ordered Cheng Pu, "It is said that all people who go in and out of Jiangdong, whether they are civilians, merchants or families, should be strictly investigated, and there must be no mistake."

"No." Cheng Pu took the order with an excited face and besieged and suppressed the Flying Tiger Army like a cat and a mouse. How could Cheng Pu not be excited?

After Cheng Pu left, Sun Ce looked at the bamboo slips on the table and said, "There are really a few capable people in Jingzhou. A small You county can stop the attack of the Ziyi army for two days."

Zhou Yu took a look at Zhu Jian and knew that Sun Ce was talking about the guards of You County. He nodded secretly. These guards were quite extraordinary to resist Tai Shici's attack. He comforted and said, "The lord doesn't care. Liu Qi's expedition against Linxiang was passing by You County and stayed there. He has always been the person he left behind. It's not surprising that there are so many people in Jingzhou.

Sun Ce smiled and said, "That's right, but I'm a little interested in Liu Qi. Liu Biao'er is not interested in making progress when he is a good foundation. Jing Xiang's talent is not valued, but I didn't expect that his son is much better than him."

Zhou Yu nodded. The literary style in Jingxiang area is popular, and there are countless capable people, but Liu Biao has never reused anyone. The people around him were all several people who paced Jingzhou with him, and he never saw anyone promoted after that. However, it is not surprising to think about Liu Biao's suspicious personality. At that time, Liu Qi's performance surprised him a little. Rumor has it that although Liu Qi is a little talented, he is not enough to be cowardly and incompetent. He didn't expect that he could subdue so many capable people.

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

You County Taishici's army and Xu Shu are fighting against each other. Since Xu Shu arrived in You County, Taishici has not taken the initiative to fight. Only when Xu Shu's generals came to provoke Taishici occasionally went to war.

A few days of fighting made Tai Shici secretly alert himself. Tai Shici has always been very confident in his martial arts, and there are few enemies in Jiangdong. He didn't expect that there would be a figure comparable to him here. There are three or four Jingzhou generals fighting with him these days. Of these three or four, the one he is most afraid of is the old man with a big knife and a boxwood bow on his back.

This man is 40 or 50 years old, but he can kill as good as him, especially the poplar bow behind him. When fighting with him yesterday, the man suddenly turned around and almost shot him with an arrow. If he hadn't had a good understanding of archery, he would have taken precautions. I'm afraid he would be seriously injured if he didn't die.

Although the other people are not as good as him, they are also extraordinary. The strength of the young man with a big knife full of rust is actually three points stronger than him.

Gradually, Tai Shici knew that Xu Shu was prepared. After fighting with him for a long time, he must have been defeated by himself. Thinking of this, he had already retreated. The bamboo slips sent to Wu County have been sent for four or five days, but Sun Ce has no news, and he can't retreat and can only stick to it.
