Chen Zhi stood aside, his heart beat faster and his hair was numb. He could see that Sun Ce was really likely to kill. Compared to breaking into his house that day, Sun Ce was so murderous that he was so murderous, even with bloody eyes. He also knew that at this moment, it was not easy to make Sheng Xian bow his head in this situation. Even if he bowed his head, it was an indelible shame, and he would suffer for the rest of his life.

But if he didn't bow his head, not only did the Sheng family be finished, but also the couple, along with his one-year-old son and a child who had not been born. Sun Ce could give Sheng Xian a chance in this situation, not to look at the face of his husband and wife - they had no face - but to look at Shen You's face. No matter how great Shen You's face is, he would not offend Sun Ce for Sheng Xian and take advantage of the future of the Shen family.

Sheng Xian is his outer relative, not Shen You's outer relative. He and Shen You are just the same great-grandfather, and their relationship is far away. Besides, he is a major clan and Shen You are a small clan, so there is a little conflict. This time he can come forward to relieve his cheeks, and he has fulfilled his obligations to his clan members, and he cannot expect too much. In the face of family interests, personal gains and losses are not important at all.

Sheng Xian's face turned pale, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his eyes couldn't help but twitch.

He is not afraid of death. Although his hands and feet are weak, he is unable to stand firmly, and he is sweating coldly, it is just an instinctive reaction when facing danger. If he cannot avoid it, he can still die generously, but he cannot die on the charge of rebellion.

He never planned to betray the court, he was just powerless to refuse. Yuan Shao gave him the order in the name of the edict, but he did not accept it, but he could not retreat. Yuan Shao was not a minister, and Sun Ce was no longer a loyal minister of the court. He originally thought that Guo Yi could block Sun Ce, so he rushed to do his best, but before the war began, he was captured by Sun Ce.

Sheng Xian turned his head and saw Chen Zhi. Chen Zhi felt his gaze and raised his head. His eyes were filled with sadness and helplessness, and a hint of begging. Sheng Xian understood Chen Zhi's difficulties. Chen Zhi was both civil and military, but because the Shen family was fond of martial arts, he had never been able to become an official. Now is a chaotic world, and it is the time for people like Chen Zhi to make achievements. If Sun Ce was abandoned by him, he might have no chance in his life.

Looking at Chen Zhi, thinking of his daughter and grandson, Sheng Xian became even more desperate. He could die, but what should his family do? For a crime that does not exist at all, he will compensate the fate of the entire family? For the sake of a crime that does not exist at all, he will compensate the fate of his daughter and the whole family, and the future of his son-in-law?

Sheng Xian spent all his strength and slowly raised his heavy hands as heavy as lead, and said hoarsely: "Xian did not know that Mingfu was here, and he was wrong to welcome him, and he was guilty of death."

Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, his legs became weak, and he almost sat on the ground.

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows lightly and had his knife sheathed, but there was still no smile on his face. "I don't blame you if you don't come to welcome me. I can understand that everyone has times of being confused. But you accept Yuan Shao's edict, what's going on? Personal grievances can be left aside. I dare not hide this for you. You must explain it clearly, otherwise I can only send you to Chang'an and ask the court to deal with it."

Sheng Xian was stunned. He thought he could just lower his head, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to let him go. Sun Ce said it nicely and didn't care about personal grievances. In fact, he just let go of the little things, but he kept asking him to explain the acceptance of Yuan Shao's edict.

Chen Zhi was also helpless, and his mouth was as bitter as if he was swallowing a piece of coptis chinensis. Sheng Xian was knowledgeable and famous, but he was not capable of strength. Yuan Shao issued him an edict, but he had neither the ability to support him nor the ability to refuse. He did not have the ability to support him. As a result, the prefect of Wujun was dismissed and was chased by Xu Gong. He had no ability to refuse, and now Sun Ce was caught by the excuse to force him to explain. If he couldn't explain clearly, he was a rebellion, and if he had a clear explanation, he would break up with Yuan Shao and be in a dilemma.

"I'll give you three days, and you can reflect on yourself." Sun Ce smiled slightly. "I know that you have good knowledge and good writing of the articles, and you will definitely be more profound than others. I don't understand the articles, but Yang Situ's son is here. His family's origins can help you check."

Sheng Xian was already confused. Three days later, maybe it was a matter of whether to die or live in three days. This was too tormenting. It would be better to insist on not admitting it just now and forget it if you die.

Sun Ce turned to look at Chen Zhi. "You have helped Sheng Jun in the past three days and also helped me with a certificate. Don't make people think that I deliberately made things difficult for him. Three days later, if he realizes his mistake, you go to Wucheng to take office. Otherwise, you can only be with him and can't go anywhere."

"Wu Cheng?" Chen Zhi was very surprised and was not even in the mood to pay attention to the jokes in Sun Ce's words. Wu Cheng is the old house of the Shen family, how could Sun Ce let him go to Wu Cheng to work?

"Yan Baihu is in trouble in the Shichengshan area. I need someone who is familiar with the terrain and civil and military to deal with this matter."

Chen Zhi suddenly realized and was even more happy. Sun Ce asked him to go to Wucheng not to let him be Wuchengxiang, but to let him be responsible for the defense in that area. This was a position tailor-made for him and it was perfect. If this matter was done well, even if his status was not as good as Shen You. Of course, this was just Sun Ce's promise. If Sheng Xian's reflection could not satisfy Sun Ce, the opportunity would slip away from him.

In any case, you must seize this opportunity.

At this moment, war drums came from afar, and a battle broke out on Xiajia Mountain. A group of soldiers rushed into the forest and attacked the defenders of Xiajia Mountain. The sound of war drums also sounded in the direction of Guling opposite, and a group of people rushed over along the mountain road by the lake.

Sun Ce took a light look, without any reaction.

One thousand invaders were already on the right position below the slope, with two rows of swords and shields, long halberds in front, and six rows of crossbowmen in the back, each in their place. The formation was rigorous, but silent. No one spoke, and only the battle flag swayed gently in the spring breeze, which was completely different from the hustle and bustle formation on the opposite side.

Chen looked in his eyes and was secretly frightened. He had read military books and knew that fighting was like a cockfighting. Those cockfighting that cried happily when they came on the field seemed to be full of fighting spirit, but in fact they were not. Instead, the cockfighting that looked like wood had combat effectiveness. The so-called stupid wooden chicken was by no means a manifestation of incompetence, but a synonym for masters. Just like these soldiers in front of him, even though they were shouting fiercely on the other side, they looked like a rainbow of morale, but in fact they were manifestations of the incompetence of the generals. A truly well-trained warrior was like a wooden chicken, without any unnecessary movements or making any unnecessary sounds.

Experts can tell if they have it as soon as they reach out. Although Chen Zhi has little practical experience and is still quite far from famous generals, he has seen the gap between the two sides and also understood why Sun Ce dared to line up here. Not only did he want to defeat Guo Yi, he also wanted to wipe out Guo Yi.

Chen Zhi secretly glanced at Sun Ce. Sun Ce's face was calm, but his eyes became even colder, making people feel cold in their hearts when they looked at it. Chen Zhi thought about it, and remembered the incident when Quan Rou came to persuade him to surrender yesterday, and suddenly understood it, and suddenly burst into a cold sweat.

The county soldiers on the opposite side quickly approached, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, and eighty steps.

A archer raised the bow in his hand and shot a whistle. The whistle made a sharp roar, flying over a hundred steps, and hit Du Bo, who was yelling with a knife. Du Bo fell to the ground and disappeared into the crowd.
