Chapter 55: Sun Ce Comes
Chapter 55 Sun Ce comes
"Catching the Hutan" Sun Jian was penetrated by the sharp arrows that penetrated the cabin and passed away with hatred. Hearing huge movements, the arrival of Sun Ce's men and horses who came to explore from ten miles away, causing the terminators of these hands to evacuate one after another, and Huang Gai and others to escape the misfortune of being buried with him. However, Sun Jian's death caused the entire army to fall into great grief.
After receiving the news of Sun Jian's death, Liu Yao breathed a long sigh and ordered his subordinates to be Yi (this name is very strange, but there is really this person, there is no way): "I informed Qiao Rui and the two generals Zhang Xun to say that Sun Jian is dead. I have done what I should do, and I will leave all the following things to them."
"Here!"
"And—" Liu Yao thought about the recall and was going out to report to Yi. After thinking about it, he explained: "Let Xu Shao quickly send General Yuan Gonglu in my name, so that he can go south to Yangzhou quickly to take charge of the overall situation - in addition, let Fan Neng and Zhang Ying prepare for war, wait for labor, do not take the initiative, but cannot fall into a passive position. The battle is left to Yuan Shu and the boy of the Sun family, and we just care about the aftermath."
Shi Yi saw Liu Yao Zhizhu holding her, flattered her and said, "Lord is a talented man, I am beyond my reach."
Liu Yao smiled and said, "Also, let someone go to Anfengjin to pay condolences in my name, and I would like to say that what happened last night was deeply regretful. If the boy from the Sun family was willing to turn war into jade, Liu Yao was willing to take them in."
In the morning light, the camp of Anfengjin, white sails fluttered, and thousands of troops were white. In front of the huge mourning hall, Sun Ce and Sun Quan were in front, Sun Ben and Zhu Cai were on both sides, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu stood in solemnly with this.
With tears in his eyes, Sun Ce gently touched his brother's head, whose eyes were already swollen, and said in a daze: "My father's corpse has not been cold and has not been revenged. Now is not the time to be sad."
Sun Quan looked at his sad brother, nodded sensibly, wiped his tears and lowered his head and stopped making a sound.
Sun Ce closed his eyes and took a deep breath, looking at Sun Jian's body lying on the board made of a table and covered with white cloth in the mourning hall. He knelt deeply in front of the brazier in the mourning hall. Then Sun Quan knelt down, then Zhu Cai, Sun Ben knelt down, Huang Gai and others knelt down, and then thousands of troops knelt down. A tragedy and solemn aura floated in everyone's heart, and even the joyful birds in the distant mountains were shocked and lost their voices.
Sun Ce knelt there quietly, looking at his father who could no longer survive. He remembered his father's strict requirements for him since he was a child, deep love as deep as a mountain, and savored his father's earnest teachings when he was alive. Sun Ce's tears rolled down like water breaking through the dam.
"Father, don't worry, I won't let you die in vain. I will use the blood of my enemies to pay tribute to your undead. If you are not here, I will take good care of my mother, three younger brothers, and sisters. Just leave with confidence." After Sun Ce said that, he stood up angrily with tears and shouted in a deep voice to the soldiers of the three armies who were kneeling down to worship, "Stand up for me!"
The three armies were shocked and stood up together.
Sun Ce shouted angrily: "My father was plotted by a villain this time and was tragically killed. If this revenge is not avenged, it will be a vain to be a son! Sons, can you tolerate this shame and hatred?"
The soldiers of the three armies shouted in unison: "No! No!"
Sun Ce nodded and continued to shout: "Do you dare to follow me to break the thief's nest and take revenge!"
The soldiers shouted in unison: "I wish to die for the general!"
At this time, the soldiers outside the ferry of Yuanmen came to report quickly: "Liu Yao sent someone to pay his respects, he was already outside the camp!"
Everyone was immediately talking and exclaiming. Huang Gai and Zhu Zhi looked at Sun Ce and asked him to make an idea. Sun Ce sneered: "It's just right, take their heads to sacrifice to the flag!"
Then he shouted with a stern voice: "Come on!"
When a messenger and subordinate were taken up with pale faces, he was already trembling and speechless: "General... General... is not a small matter..."
And Sun Ce had already sneered and raised the knife to his head, laughing and said, "I just borrowed your head for use, why bother making such a fuss? Is it still a man!"
After saying that, he took a knife and the head fell to the ground.
"Pack with the box, please give your heads to Liu Yao, and let him wash his head and wait for me to pick it up!" Sun Ce sneered and the blood knife was sheathed, and the people had already run away with their heads. Everyone couldn't help laughing sarcastically.
Sun Ce took the opportunity to encourage morale and said, "The bandits are just villains who can only hurt people with hidden arrows. I can defeat him with eight thousand soldiers and eight hundred thousand!"
The soldiers danced with the swords and halberds in their hands and shouted: "The general is mighty and unbeatable!"
"The general is mighty and unbeatable!"
"The general is mighty and unbeatable!"
Sun Ce looked at the high fighting spirit of the soldiers of the three armies with satisfaction and shouted loudly: "Correction of equipment, and follow me to attack Shouchun in one hour!"
"Attack Shouchun!"
"Attack Shouchun!"
Shouchun and An Fengjin are only thirty miles away, and the fast horse and fast boats are just around the corner. When Liu Yao saw the head of the person sent back, he angrily slapped the table and angrily scolded: "Sun Ce, son, you are ungrateful!"
Four hours later, Sun Ce's army came from outside the city to attack with great force.
Liu Yao was shocked and angry. Xu Shao suggested: "I heard that Sun Jian, a construction engineer, was both wise and brave. When he attacked the Yellow Turbans, he was in a battle to attack Dong Zhuo not long ago. Dong Zhuo once said that among the princes, he was only worried about Sun Jian. If Sun Jian died, he could rest assured. Although Sun Ce was not old, he inherited his father's courage and his prestige in the army was only inferior to Sun Jian. This time, he led the mourning soldiers to fight, and he would definitely be brave and not afraid of death. The lord should avoid his edge and stick to the battle. When their morale is weak, he will definitely defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Liu Yao nodded in agreement and looked to the south and said, "At that time, the two generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, who were stationed in Hefei, should have led their troops. In this way, they will be lost."
Sun Ce was riding on the horse wearing mourning clothes, with white infantry and cavalry behind him. Hundreds of ships of all sizes and large ships in the river to the north, hanging white sails downstream, connecting with the white-clothed Revenge Army on the shore, making it very spectacular.
"Report - our vanguard rushed forward, the enemy did not fight at all, had fled into the city, and could not leave!" At this time, the scout rushed to report.
After hearing this, Sun Ce laughed and said, "Liu Yao, you are also afraid. Why do you forget how arrogant you were yesterday!"
As he said that, he waved his whip and shouted: "The enemy is already scared, follow me to take down Shouchun!"
A large white army rushed to Shouchun City like a tide, but they had no decent siege equipment at all, only the simplest ladder, and the momentum of revenge. Faced with a strong and well-prepared city, facing heavy rock-stacked wood, and facing countless sharp arrows and locusts, Sun Ce's army was hit by a blow and suffered heavy losses.
"Master! You can't continue to fight like this, otherwise it will be all over! You'd better retreat and rest and make plans for the siege equipment!"
Sun Ce was still hesitating.
At the same time, the city gate opened, and Fan Neng, Zhang Ying and other brave generals left the city with unstoppable troops. The soldiers on his side were caught off guard and retreated one after another.
At the same time, the horses' hooves thundered in the west and south, and flags were waving. I don't know how many people came. However, the scout came to report in blood: "Lord! Zhang Xun, the general under Yuan Shu's tent, and Qiao Rui led 10,000 elite troops to fight. Our left-wing legion has been dispersed and cannot be stopped! Lottery--!"
When Huang Gai saw Sun Ce gritting his teeth in grief and anger, he immediately advised: "The morale is no longer available now, and the physical loss is too great, and the soldiers are suffering heavy casualties. If we do not retreat, we will be wiped out!"
Cheng Pu also advised: "Lord! Don't forget that your great revenge has not been avenged, and there is still a family and young family that needs care! Never act voluntarily, and become an unfaithful person!"
Sun Ce's eyes were red at this time, and he glanced at the Xicheng Gate where the people were surging, and clenched his fists in grief and shouted angrily: "Listen to my order! The whole army retreats!"
Cheng Pu Huanggai broke the rear with difficulty, finally saved the army on the verge of collapse, returned to Anfengjin safely, and retreated north to Yingshang. The sky was about to dusk, and the pursuers were gone, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After seeing the broken army, I found out that more than 8,000 elite troops were left, and now there are only more than 3,000 left, and most of them were injured. The others were damaged under the high walls of Shouchun City, and under the horse hooves of Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui who were sneak attacking behind them.
Thinking of his father's death and his arrogant and underestimating the enemy led to a crushing defeat, Sun Ce closed his eyes in pain.
But he could not fall down, nor could he give up, because he still had many missions to escape, such as revenge, and the support of his relatives. Therefore, this crushing defeat could only make him more mature and firm, waiting to face the test of the next storm.
"Lord. Now that things have come to this point, there is no need to be sad. Have you figured out how to go next?" The sky was already full of stars. By the dim bonfire, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi and other veterans came over to comfort him and asked.
Sun Ce looked at the sky with some confusion and shook his head.
Sun Ben thought about it and said to Sun Ce: "Qu'a is still the territory of his cousin (Wu Jing) now and is close to Wujun. Why don't we turn back to Qu'a and find our cousin to help?"
Sun Ce smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Now the soldiers are broken and the morale is declining. If you have to face the joint attack between Liu Yao and Yuan Shu, you can't even get over Shouchun. How can Qu A go?"
Zhu Zhi thought about it and said, "It's better to go to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao. I heard that Liu Biao cherishes talents and treats people kindly. Jingzhou is already peaceful and everyone is home to his heart. Maybe there is a chance to go there."
Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "I have heard of this person Liu Biao. Although he is famous for his good reputation, he is actually cowardly. When we go, we are afraid that only by being idle and suspicious is difficult to have a try."
Zhu Cai suddenly blurted out: "We can go to Xuzhou to find Liu Yang. Judging from the itinerary, he should have returned to Xiaopei now. According to our kindness to him and the master-disciple relationship between the second young master and Liu Yang, it would be perfect to ask him for help. At least, it would be good to borrow some mechanism from him to help us bombard the hateful Shouchun City!"
Sun Ce's eyes lit up at first, but after thinking about it, his brows frowned deeply.
Huang Gai said to him in the tone of an elder: "Before your father dies, let me tell you some things. You can make a decision."
After hearing Huang Gai's words, the young Zhu Cai and Sun Ben looked at Huang Gai in amazement, wondering the profound meaning of Sun Jian's words.
But Sun Ce gritted his teeth and suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, we will drive north to Xiaopei, Xuzhou!"
