Chapter 73 General Xu Shu

The atmosphere above the hall was a little solemn, and the relaxed atmosphere just now became dull. Sun Ce looked at the crowd with a gloomy face: "Where is Cheng Pu?"

Zhang Zhao stood up and said, "General Cheng has led people to encircle and suppress Liu Qi. At this time, he has left Wu County."

Sun Ce's face was even more gloomy and said, "I just left Wu County in five days. Do I have to wait for Liu Qi to return to Jingzhou to catch up?"

There was a moment of silence under the stage. Cheng Pu mobilized troops to encircle and suppress Liu Qi. Although he just came out of Wu County, it was not Cheng Pu's responsibility. The five thousand soldiers and horses are all cavalry. Although they are fast, they are extremely troublesome. These 5,000 soldiers and horses are not in Wu County, but in Guangling County. Guangling County is open and suitable for training cavalry. It had been three days since the 5,000 cavalry arrived in Wu County after layers of inspection, and the mobilization of grain and grass and Sun Ce's personal guard was delayed for another day, and Cheng Pu had just set out.

Sun Ce snorted coldly and said, "Cheng Pu's unfavorable work, let's write it down for the time being. It is said that Cheng Pu can't kill Liu Qi in Jiangdong and punish him for two crimes at that time, and in addition, he will find Sun He's body and be buried thickly." Cheng Pu knew that he was doing this to put pressure on Cheng Pu.

"No." Zhang Zhao took the order and returned to his seat.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu again and said, "The soldiers and Ma Gongjin of Jiangdong can be mobilized. Be sure to block Liu Qi in Jiangdong."

Zhou Yu got up and said, "No." Although he only issued an order in Wu County to mobilize Jiangdong's defense, he was still confident that Liu Qi's way was blocked.

After Sun Ce ordered, he got up and left. Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's gloomy face and followed him.

In the backyard, Sun Ce sat quietly at the table and suddenly smashed the book on the table. He got up and stared at the map on the screen. His eyes were getting worse and worse.

"Lord." Zhou Yu's voice came from outside.

Sun Ce cleaned up his mood and said, "Come in."

After a while, Zhou Yu came in and looked at Sun Ce regardless of the situation in the room and said, "Is the lord just worried about General Sun?"

Referring to Sun He, Sun Ce frowned and nodded and said, "Yes, my cousin has contributed a lot to the Sun family, but there is no return at all. Some time ago, he said that he wanted to form a cavalry, but I didn't agree. I didn't expect that he was killed by Liu Qi's child only a few days ago. If he had agreed at that time, maybe it wouldn't have happened.

Zhou Yu knew Sun He's position in Sun Ce's heart and comforted him, "The lord doesn't have to blame himself. I heard that General Sun has a son. Why didn't the lord recruit him into the pro-guards?"

As soon as Sun Ce felt that it was feasible, he shook his head and said, "That little guy is only more than ten years old. How can he stand the training of the pro-guards?" I have also seen the descendants of Sun He, and I like them very much.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "It's not small. If you can't stand the training, how to avenge General Sun in the future."

Sun Ce thought for a moment and nodded and said, "In that case, let him go in and get used to it first. If not, let's talk about it later." After saying that, he stopped mentioning this matter and asked, "What do you think of Liu Qi?"

Zhou Yu frowned and said, "Liu Qi is weird. It is rumored that although Liu Qi is a little talented, he is cowardly and is not liked by Liu Biao. I didn't expect that Liu Biao would let him be the general to fight against Zhang Xian this time. Now it seems that Liu Qi is either a capable person around him, or he used to disguise himself too well and hide it from people all over the world. If it is the first situation, it's okay to say. But if it is the second situation, I'm afraid the lord will have another big enemy in the future.

Sun Ce said, "In this case, leave him in Jiangdong at all costs."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't ask him to leave Jiangdong."

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

Xu Shu has been still in Youxian County since Taishi Ci withdrew from the army, and it was not until today that he was anxious to discuss the generals. After Chen Qi conveyed Liu Qi's order, Xu Shu ordered Chen Qi to sneak back to Jiangdong again and inquire about Liu Qi and others at any time. Just last night, Chen Qi sent back the news again: the identity of the lord was exposed, intercepted 5,000 troops in Jiangdong, and killed the general Sun He. A few short words made Xu Shu's scalp tame.

With Sun Ce's hatred for Liu Biao, if Liu Qi exposes his identity in Jiangdong, he will definitely be hunted down by Sun Ce. Liu Qi's situation must be extremely dangerous. It seemed exciting for Liu Qi to intercept 5,000 troops and kill the general Sun He, but Xu Shu was not happy. This means that Liu Qi has not only exposed his identity but also fought with the Jiangdong army. If he is entangled by the Jiangdong army, it will be dangerous. However, after chasing him, Liu Qi defeated the army and took advantage of the night to reassure him a lot.

But he did not relax at all. As long as Liu Qi is still in Jiangdong, he may be in danger. He immediately ordered Chen Qi to pay attention to the situation in Jiangdong, and then called everyone to discuss it.

Above the hall, people gathered together. Xu Shu looked at Zhu Tao and said, "Just now, Jiangdong sent back the news that the lord was in trouble in Jiangdong."

"What! The eldest brother is in trouble. What's wrong with the eldest brother now? Is it dangerous? Hearing that Liu Qi was in trouble, Liu Pan couldn't help asking in a hurry.

Although the other people are not as anxious as Liu Pan, they also look at Xu Shu with a concerned face, hoping to know Liu Qi's recent situation.

Xu Shu nodded secretly when he saw that everyone was concerned about Liu Qi's safety and said, "You are not worried. Although the master's identity was exposed, he defeated the 5,000 Jiangdong army that went to besiege and suppress him, and killed Sun He, the general of Jiangdong, and successfully escaped."

"Haha, I knew that the eldest brother was powerful. How will the shrimp soldiers and crabs in Jiangdong be the opponent of the eldest brother." Liu Pan laughed.

Several other people also smiled, only Ma Liang and Wu Xiong looked sad. Wu Xiong was left by Liu Qi to help Xu Shu. After Xu Shu left Linxiang, he asked Wu Xiong to deal with things in Linxiang. He just came to You County yesterday. Wu Xiong looked at Xu Shu and said, "Although the lord defeated 5,000 troops, it is bound to attract more encirclement and suppress the Jiangdong army. If the lord is entangled, it will be difficult for the lord to leave Jiangdong with those people."

The excitement on the faces of several people gradually turned into sadness, and they already knew the seriousness of the matter. Ma Liang raised his head and said, "Can the military division have the mobilization of Jiangdong's army?"

Xu Shu nodded. Ma Liang acted steadily and thoughtfully. He continued: "Jiangdong Sun Ce has ordered General Cheng Pu to mobilize 5,000 cavalry and 2,000 personal guards to encircle and suppress the lord. In addition, Sun Ce also blocked all the road gates to Jingzhou to prevent the lord from returning to Jingzhou.

Hearing this, several people's faces changed. Although the cavalry around Liu Qi is elite, they have no advantage in the face of Jiangdong light cavalry five times that of himself, not to mention Sun Ce's 2,000 guards. Sun Ce's personal guard is better than the flying tiger guard in Jingzhou.

At this time, Su Fei couldn't help it and asked with a worried face, "The lord is in danger in Jiangdong. Can the military master have a good solution to the savior?" Since Xu Shu broke through Linxiang City last time, Su Fei has admired him. At this time, when he heard that Liu Qi was in danger, the first thing Su Fei thought of was Xu Shu.

Liu Pan beside him was so anxious that he sweated: "That's right, does the sergeant have a good plan to save the eldest brother?"

Xu Shu had a plan in his heart and said, "I want to attack the troops scattered in Jiangdong, reduce the burden of the lord, and disturb the sight of Jiangdong at the same time. What do you think?"

Seeing that Xu Shu had already figured out a plan and said, "Please ask the military division to order."

Xu Shu nodded, and his face was not as gentle as before. He said with a little seriousness, "Huo Jun, you take 5,000 soldiers and horses to stay in You County, and at the same time take over the army's food and grass."

Huo Jun hurriedly said, "No!"

Xu Shu looked at all the people: "The rest of the people followed me to attack Jiangdong to pick up the host, and the army set out at noon. Zhao Rui led 3,000 soldiers and horses to escort the grain and grass, and at the same time, he was responsible for receiving the army. Huang Zhong took 2,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard, and the rest of them sat in the army with me.

Hearing Xu Shu tell several people to promise, he went forward to prepare. The loud horn sounded again, and the army in You County quickly gathered.
