Chapter 094
Sun Ce has always lacked respect for Yuan Shu, but he is still cautious on the surface. He either respectfully called the general or Yuan Gaolu, and rarely called him directly. Today, he was particularly surprised and was in a hurry, so he blurted out, but he didn't expect to be arrested and appeared.
Sun Ce glanced at the man and saw that he was wearing a sword on his waist, but his forehead was covered in sweat and his feet were floating. He was obviously running to the end. He was sternly scolding him and could not hide his weakness from physiological to psychological. He must have suffered a miserable defeat in this battle and felt even more uneasy.
If Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu in Xinye, the war should have happened last night. The messenger Ding Fei appeared in my camp in the early morning. It should have been when Cao Cao launched an attack. So, Cao Cao asked me to meet not to stabilize me, but to have the confidence to defeat Yuan Shu and still have time to rush to the meeting place. More importantly, Cao Cao's army was farther than he expected and should not be far from Xinye. He was waiting for Yuan Shu and did not really catch up.
This treacherous hero is lying to me.
Sun Ce was very depressed, unhappy, and his attitude was even worse. He glanced at the scholar. "Where did the messenger come from? He ran for two hundred miles in half a day, and was tired and confused? Which ear did you hear the general in my hope that the head of the next general would be like Xiahou Yuan?"
"Do you dare to say you don't dare to admit it?" The messenger lowered his face and became even more stern. "Sun Wentai, is this what you control, and you are openly disrespectful to the next general?"
Sun Jian covered his chest without saying a word, his body shook twice, and suddenly fell backwards. With a "bang", the scholar jumped and also scared Sun Ce. Sun Ce rushed over and was about to speak, Zhou Yu winked at him. Before Sun Ce could understand, Sun Jian grabbed his arm.
"Don't talk, cry!" Sun Jian leaned into Sun Ce's ear and said, "Phone me your hair!"
Sun Ce suddenly realized and immediately hugged Sun Jian and howled. "General, General, wake up quickly, wake up quickly..." While crying, he pulled out his waist and patted it in Sun Jian's hand with his body. Sun Jian took the knife and stabbed it in his heart with a knife. He suddenly became bloody, which scared Sun Ce and almost forgot to cry.
I'll go! Dad is cruel enough.
"General, General..." Han Dang also snatched it over. Seeing this posture, he burst into tears. As soon as he cried, Zu Mao outside was frightened and rushed in and surrounded Sun Jian in the middle. He was worried about Sun Jian's injuries and took a fierce step. Although he just rubbed his shoulders, he almost knocked the scholar away, hitting his head on the tent, standing unsteadily, and slipped to the ground.
Zhou Yu caught up and helped the scholar up. "Sir, you came so badly. General Sun just was assassinated."
"I met... assassinated?" The scribe's face turned pale. "Why... why is this happening?"
Zhou Yu turned around to get the arrow. Sun Ce was prepared, and had already dyed the arrow red with Sun Jian's blood and handed it to Zhou Yu quietly. Zhou Yu took it in his hand, holding back his laughter, and said seriously: "The general attacked Xiangyang for a long time and couldn't stop him. He was depressed and went out to relax. Unexpectedly, he encountered an assassin arranged by the powerful Xiangyang. He was caught in the poisonous arrow and was in danger. Look, this arrow is full of poison in the trough. Once it is stained with blood, he will not be able to survive."
While Zhou Yu was talking, he was swaying in front of the scholar with an arrow. He heard that it was a poisonous arrow, and the scholar was so scared that he became weak all over, afraid that Zhou Yu would accidentally stab him with an arrow, so he would not have the heart to tell the truth or falsehood.
"Boy Zhou Yu, a native of Lujiang, has his father and is in Luoyang. What is the name of Mr.? Where is the native of him?"
"You are Zhou Boqi's son? I am Feng Fang, from Runan. I have been the lieutenant of Sili, and I am very familiar with Lingzun." Feng Fang grabbed Zhou Yu's arm, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and said anxiously: "Zhou Lang, the general was frustrated, and sent me to order General Sun to return to help. Now General Sun is assassinated again, and he is in danger. What should I do?"
"Don't be anxious, the general was frustrated, where did he start?"
Feng Fang's eyes rolled twice, and stood up and pulled Zhou Yu to a secluded place outside the tent. "Oh, if it were someone else, I wouldn't say a word. You are the son of an old friend, I won't hide it from you. Cao Cao entered the country and wrote a letter to the next general, but he didn't know what he said. The next general was angry and rushed to chase him. He walked more than a hundred miles in two days, and was trapped in people and horses, neglected to guard, and as a result... he was attacked."
"Where is the latter general now?"
"The rear general was trapped in Xinye City, and all the camps outside the city were destroyed. There were only less than a thousand people left by the rear general. Fortunately, Yan Xiang saw the opportunity quickly, and when he saw chaos outside the city, he asked the rear general to send me out of the city. If he took a step slower, he would not even get out."
Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looked embarrassed, and remained silent. When Feng Fang saw this, he became even more anxious and shook Zhou Yu repeatedly.
"Zhou Lang, please think of a solution quickly. Cao Cao must be attacking the city at this moment. After delaying it for a long time, the general's life will be in trouble."
"Jun Feng, you have also seen that the general was assassinated, and his life and death were unknown. The army had no control. Not to mention the general who saved him, it is hard to say whether he could stabilize the situation. The general's soldiers were complicated, including the men he brought from Changsha, the newly surrendered men from Jingzhou, and some of the Yellow Turban Army. Once the mutiny is made, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Feng Fang was stunned and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
Seeing that the situation was almost done, Zhou Yu said hesitantly: "There is no way, it's just..."
Feng Fang suddenly saw the vitality and immediately said, "Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."
"Sun Jiawei is the eldest son of the general. Although he is young, he is both civil and military. Not long ago, he had just defeated Cao Cao's vanguard Xiahou Yuan's troops and made great contributions. During the general's injury, if he was the one who led the troops, there should be no problem. The only problem is that without the orders of the latter general, it would be difficult to convince the public."
Feng Fang stared at Zhou Yu for a while, and his mouth twitched. "Zhou Lang, look... I will make a decision for the general of the descendant and let Sun Ce do his father, is it okay?"
Zhou Yu nodded repeatedly. "Feng Junde is highly respected and is also a confidant of the latter general, of course."
Feng Fang sighed quietly. "The Zhou family in Lujiang is well-known, and Zhou Boqi gave birth to a good son."
Zhou Yu said a few words of modesty and pulled Sun Ce over. Feng Fang made a decision on behalf of Yuan Shu. During Sun Jian's injury, Sun Ce would take over all his posts in Sun Jian, command Sun Jian's men and immediately send troops to break the siege of Xinye.
"Here!" Sun Ce bowed and took the order, immediately summoned the generals and announced the order.
Except for Zhou Yu, Han Dang and others who knew the real situation, the others were frightened when they heard that Sun Jian was assassinated and were in chaos. Feng Fang took out the majesty of the envoy and spoke in a harsh manner, which stabilized the situation.
Sun Ce immediately ordered the entire army to withdraw from Xiangyang and rush to Xinye.
When the army was drawing the camp, Sun Ce sent someone to call Xi Zhu. In front of Xi Zhu, Sun Ce picked up more than 300 Kuai family members from the baggage camp and killed all the adult men. With a command, the heads rolled and blood dyed the river red.
Some of the old and weak women who were killed were frightened and cried bitterly, while others beat their chests and stamped their feet, and cursed. Sun Ce's heart was like a tide, but his face had to be chilled and he looked down at Xi Zhu, who was pale and trembling all over.
"Xi Wenhui, please tell Kuai Yue that he sent someone to assassinate his father. I am incompatible with him. Either he died or I die."
