At the top of Shuxian City, Wang Zhenglin looked out from a high position.
Although on the surface, Sun Ce's army outside the city is still in chaos, covering the mountains and plains, as if they have formed a net. By carefully observing the intensity of Sun Ce's army's siege in the past few days and the scope of martial law, Wang Zheng and Zhou Hui and others all had the same conclusion. The number of enemy troops under the city had changed, and this change began when Wu Sheng's troops launched an siege against Lu'an.
In other words, Sun Ce's army and horses surrounding Shu County at this time were no longer ten thousand.
As for whether the missing men and horses were sent by Sun Ce to rescue Lu'an or set up an ambush outside the city, Wang Zheng could not judge for the time being, but no matter what, since the number of enemies had decreased, Wang Zheng would certainly not let go of this rare opportunity.
It has never been his style to only defend but not attack. Wang Zheng had already carefully formulated a breakout plan, which naturally had two purposes.
It would be best if we could take this opportunity to defeat Sun Ce and reverse the situation of the war in one fell swoop. At the worst, we would have to contain Sun Ce's general camp so that it would be too busy to take care of itself and no longer have the energy to take care of the multiple divisions scattered in the field. It would be better to give it to Wu. Sheng, Huang Zhong and others can reduce some pressure.
Zhou Hui and others were naturally aware of this plan, and Wei Yan strongly agreed with it: "Sun Ce underestimated the enemy's care and divided his troops in multiple directions. This arrogant army will be defeated. Now that reinforcements have arrived, this is a good opportunity to counterattack. But according to Wang Zhoumu's words, The officers and soldiers of the three armies are waiting for battle, but they have actually been waiting for a long time!"
Zhou Hui pondered for a long time and said slowly: "It's not impossible to break through, but it's a pity that all the camps in the north outside the city have been defeated by Sun Ce's army before. If not, with these camps in hand, the possibility of a successful breakthrough may be It will be able to score a few more points.”
"When does Zhou Mu intend to break out of the encirclement?"
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it!"
Since entering Shu City, Wang Zheng changed his past behavior and never went into battle in person, but he did not really have nothing to do. During this period, every time Sun Ce's army attacked the city, he carefully observed where the enemy was strong and where he was weak. Now that he knew everything, he immediately ordered his soldiers to raise the general's flag and beat the war drums.
Looking around, Wang Zhengchang stood tall and tall as a mountain: "Ever since we fought with Sun Ce, I have been holding grudges for a long time. First, the traitor uttered the words "Shu Zi" in front of the two armies and insulted me with contempt. I am dignified. A husband with an eight-foot-long foot can't be tolerated, this is what I hate!"
"Every time there is a battle, any of our fallen soldiers who fall into the enemy's hands will be stripped naked, beheaded, hanged, etc. and humiliated. All our soldiers in the three armies are all brothers and sisters. Having died in battle, they will still be subjected to such humiliation. What a shame. How can I be worthy of their souls in heaven? Such hatred!"
"I have also heard that the Sun family of Wu County has been an official of Zhai Marquis of Yang for two generations. He deprived himself of his salary and received his favor, and did not want to be loyal. Instead, he disobeyed and rebelled, causing trouble in Jiangdong. He used weapons and weapons for his own selfish desires. I don't know how many people were destroyed. Being displaced, these are the three hatreds!"
Wang Zheng didn't speak loudly at this time, and his words were not outstanding, but with his charm and "persuasion" talents fully activated, every sentence and every word that fell into everyone's ears was like a thunder rolling by. So touching.
"In life, grass grows only once in spring. It comes like wind and rain and goes away like dust. These three hatreds are like the lack of snow. It is difficult to die in peace. Now that Liu'an is in danger, reinforcements from Xuzhou are coming soon. At this time, if we don't avenge our hatred, When will we wait?"
Having said this, he lightly tapped the sword hanging on his right waist with his left hand, and with a sound of "Clang!", a green light jumped out of its sheath like a swimming dragon, leaving in everyone's minds the image of the sword pointing to the sky, shining brightly.
When he was deeply impressed, Wang Zhengkang said passionately: "Gentlemen, whoever has the courage to fight to the death with the Sun thief, please take a step forward!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the generals stepped forward in unison.
Speaking of Wang Zheng's three major hatreds, they are also their three major hatreds, especially the third hatred. After all, the generals are still nominally Yuan Shu's ministers. The so-called main concern is the humiliation of the minister, and the main concern is the death of the minister. As for the second hatred, Wei Yan and others felt the same way.
It's very deep. As for the first hatred, it's not very resonant. After all, among the people present, except for Qiao Wan, no one in terms of age can be related to "Shu Zi".
But with the gift of persuasion, everyone was also extremely angry. Qiao Wan took the lead and screamed: "Thief Sun should be punished, Wang Zhoumu, I am willing to be the vanguard!"
Wang Zheng's third hatred also came to her heart. If she truly believed it, she was probably the only one in the room who went to the battlefield purely out of revenge.
Wang Zheng was startled when he heard this. At this stage of the offensive and defensive battle in Shuxian County, his command and dispatch were actually poor. Instead, he needed someone who was brave enough to take charge of his own role. Only then could Sun Ce, Han Dang and others take the lead and attack him on the opposite side.
He, Wei Yan and Qiao Wan are the only three people in the city who can do this. Strength is the most important thing in the army. After Qiao Wan revealed his true face, some people might be surprised or disapproving at first, but
With the passage of time, now everyone has admired him, including Wei Yan.
Especially for a woman to go to the city to join the battle is actually quite inspiring to some extent, so in Wang Zheng's heart, he actually hopes that she can stay and continue to defend Shu City.
With this in his mind, Wang Zheng didn't want to use her to charge into the battle, so he looked around, looked at the attention of others, and made a gesture of hesitation, saying: "This time our army breaks through, there are reinforcements outside and mourning soldiers inside.
It is not difficult to win, and whoever takes on this responsibility will surely become famous all over the world. Who among you can volunteer?"
A general rushed out, knelt down and bowed to the banner, saying: "Wangzhou Mu, this last general is willing to be a pioneer!"
Wang Zheng was overjoyed. It was Wei Yan who took the initiative to ask for help this time!
The reason why he arranged for Wang Xiong and Huang Zhong to go to the north of Lujiang River and wanted to stay in Shucheng, a dangerous place, was not only because he was worried that Zhou Hui would not be able to stop Sun Ce's troops, but also because of his personal soldier Wei Yan.
Already.
After finally triggering a famous general to appear in front of him, how could Wang Zheng let him go?
During this period of time, Wang Zheng actually had a close understanding of his relationship with Zhou Hui. Wei Yan was a disciple of Zhou Hui's father, Zhou Zhong, when he was an official in Beijing. He naturally respected Zhou Zhong, but his relationship with Zhou Hui was actually very close.
Generally speaking, Wei Yan is not very affectionate. Wei Yan has an arrogant personality, and he doesn't really like Zhou Hui in his heart. On the one hand, he works for him because he has no better place for the time being, and on the other hand, he also does it for the sake of his father's face.
If you meet a wise master, you will have the intention to change your mind.
Seeing this, Wang Zheng naturally deliberately tried to win over Wei Yan, and Wei Yan naturally would not reject him from thousands of miles away. Especially after the two had a sparring session and understood Wang Zheng's skills, Wei Yan even admired Wang Zheng. Now he is sympathetic to each other, quite a bit.
It means we met too late.
Compared with Wei Yan's initiative to challenge when he passed Zhou Hui that day, this time Wang Zheng did not deliberately use his talent to fan him again, just to see what Wei Yan's true intentions were, and the result made him very satisfied.
This is actually a real vote of approval.
Wei Yan obviously understood in his heart, so he took the initiative to challenge Wang Zheng after feeling Wang Zheng's gaze.
Once Wang Zheng really succeeds in breaking through, even if he cannot win the final victory of this battle, he can still successfully go north to Lu'an to join the main force. Then he is out of danger. After defeating Sun Ce, he will naturally not return to Shu County.
As for Wei Yan, there is no need to go back.
Of course, choosing a leader in troubled times is not a decision that can be made easily. On the surface, Wei Yan seemed to respond positively to Wang Zheng's wooing, as if Wang Zheng didn't put in much effort, but on the inside, he actually considered it again and again.
Strictly speaking, Wei Yan was actually the first celebrity from the Three Kingdoms who was regained by Wang Zheng in a gentle way and changed his family.
Let’s look at some of the previous heroes.
Pan Zhang was brought here by Wu Shengla, while Yu Jin and Zhang Zhao were forced to have no choice. Guo Jia was the worst. He was first kidnapped, then imprisoned, and then Corporal Wang Zhenglixian tried for a long time without any effect. Finally, he got impatient and directly
He turned his back and put a knife on the neck of the entire Yangzhai Guo family. Guo Jiacai had no choice but to obey.
As for Mi Heng and Huang Zhong, they took the initiative to surrender, but the former was a reluctant choice because of his desire for revenge, while Huang Zhong wanted to gain a chance because of his background.
Compared with these people, Wang Zheng actually spent the least time and effort in wooing Wei Yan. There are two main reasons for this.
First, the development of a force is always difficult at the beginning, and it takes a lot of effort to recruit talents. However, when the force develops to a certain stage and has a certain reputation, it is often difficult to recruit talents.
It would be much easier. For example, Huang Zhong surrendered during the period when the royal power was gradually consolidating, and Guo Jia's final submission was also after he received the edict from Emperor Xu Du, and in name he had been whitewashed from the Yellow Turban Thief to Li Yanghou
after.
As for now, Wang Zheng's power has developed so far and he is considered one of the most powerful princes in the world. In terms of power alone, I am afraid that only Yuan Shao of Jizhou can stabilize him.
Secondly, he is actually Wang Zheng’s origin and employer.
Everyone in the world knows that Wang Zheng comes from a very low background. For this reason, he employs people in a very eclectic way. Regardless of their background, the most famous generals under his command are almost all tattooed, such as General Xu Fang.
, Jin Yu, Wu Sheng, Huang Zhong, Gu Jian and others, even among the civil servants, there is actually only one Zhang Zhao with a decent background.
For people like Wei Yan, this is the most attractive point. Although Zhou Hui still attaches great importance to it now, Wei Yan knows in his heart that there is no one available for him at the moment. If he really makes it happen one day, all directions will come to invest.
At that time, one's own origin was a huge problem!
This is also the reason why Wei Yan did not choose Yanzhou to pastor Cao Cao that day after Zhou Zhong died. There was no chance there!
Wang Zheng stood at the top of the city, and Wei Yan knelt down and bowed to the banner. The two looked at each other and understood at the same time. As long as the battle was finally won, Wei Yan would become Wang Zheng's favorite, and Xuzhou would have another tiger general.
If we can't successfully break out of the encirclement, then there is no need to mention it again for the time being. After all, Wang Zheng still wants to stay in Shu County, so Zhou Hui's feelings must be considered. Wei Yan's initiative to ask for military service this time is just to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.
That’s all.
Wang Zheng needs Wei Yan's certificate of surrender, and Wei Yan also needs Wang Zheng's certificate of surrender.
And Wang Zheng’s pledge is that this battle must be won!
...
The generals' flags were rustling, the wind was high and the clouds were heavy. The generals stood erect on the city towers and looked at Sun Ce's army outside the city.
Sun Ce seemed to have a premonition that there would be some movement in Wangzheng's affairs, and he mobilized groups of troops in an orderly manner, either in front or behind, sparsely or densely, and slowly set up a battle formation ready for battle at any time.
At the same time, many people came from all directions and gathered on the periphery of Sun Ce's army's position, either hiding under the mountain or hidden in the forest. Some rode away on horseback, while others lurked on foot.
Some of these messengers were from Wu Sheng's tribe and some were from Yuan Shu in Jiujiang. They carried the latest and most urgent military reports. However, due to Sun Ce's army's shrinking defense, they had been unable to find a way to enter the city.
The wind passed through the forest. At this moment, even they who were dozens of miles away felt the difference in the atmosphere. The people on both sides came from different locations and looked at Shu County at the same time.
The weather in early autumn was still a bit sultry, the river was flowing slowly, the mountains were silent, and in the silent silence, the soldiers on the stern tower suddenly blew their horns.
The powerful sound of the horn spread into the surrounding fields, frightening countless birds in the forest and wild ducks by the water.
The gate of Shuxian City suddenly opened wide.
The flag was raised with one stroke, and Wei Yan took the lead. The brave soldiers behind him were shouting like a wave, and their swords and guns were bright, facing the setting sun. The light of the setting sun spread all over the fields, and the passive beatings in recent months came to an end at this moment.
Xuzhou's counterattack started from this moment on, and Wang Zheng personally kicked off in Shu County.
Sun Jun commanded the tent and saw the torrent gushing out from the opposite side. Sun Ce looked troubled and still talked and laughed. Looking around, he looked around and said with a smile: "Zhu Ziguo is naive. He tried to borrow reinforcements and took advantage of the opportunity of our army to split up to launch a counterattack. He did not overestimate his own capabilities.
It’s really ridiculous!”
Since Wang Zheng did not go into battle as a vanguard, he was proud by nature and refused to even step out of the tent. He just casually ordered a general standing on one side and ordered, "Look at the general's flag, it should be that General Wei Yan and Han."
, you can go and fight and avenge your shame!"
"Here!" Han Dang came out with a murderous look on his face.
Sun Ce then called a middle-aged man next to him and said, "Third uncle, it's rare that a yellow scarf bandit beats a golden drum to cheer me up today. How about we talk about it?"
The middle-aged man was Sun Jian's younger brother, Sun Jing. He had just arrived at the military camp from Xiang'an today, transporting grain and grass baggage. He was quite resourceful. At the beginning of the year, Sun Ce was able to quickly defeat Wang Lang of Kuaiji because he adopted Sun Jing's advice.
Seeing that her nephew was still calm and composed despite being faced with a powerful enemy, Sun Jing was startled for a moment, then showed a hint of admiration, nodded and smiled, "That's what I wish for."
People screamed outside the tent, and a fierce fight began between black and white inside the tent.
When the two of them were playing chess on the chessboard and reached the middle game, they heard the quiet and noisy outside the tent. The sound of killing rang out. For a moment, it shook the world. After all, Sun Jing could not remain calm again. She couldn't help but turned her head and looked outside the tent, and then looked again.
Sun Ce, who was on the opposite side, was still looking at the chessboard attentively, as if the victory in this small inch was more important than the actual battle. He couldn't help but sigh: "I'm really ashamed. I have given you twenty years of age, but your Qi-building skills are not as good as...
.”
"Uncle, you are being too modest." Sun Ce said without even raising his head: "I haven't asked Zhongmou how he was injured until now. I'm already very calm."
Hearing this, Sun Jing's hands holding the chess pieces trembled slightly. He had watched Sun Ce's brothers grow up, but compared to Sun Ce who traveled around the world when he was young, Sun Jing and Sun Quan had spent more time together, and their relationship grew naturally.
It is also deeper. Naturally, care will lead to chaos. Otherwise, he would not personally transport the logistics from Xiang'an to the front line at this time, just to visit Sun Quan, who is said to have been hit by an arrow.
"You still need to ask, Bo Fu, you look as normal, Zhong Mou should be safe." Sun Jing was silent for a while, then asked: "Is he in the tent now?"
"Hefei has fallen into the hands of the yellow thieves, and the second child is naturally still in Lu'an." Sun Ce smiled and said: "As for whether there was a near miss, it's hard to say at the moment. The military report Huang Gai brought back said that he is still in a coma.
Wake up, I guess the injury is serious."
"What!"
Sun Jing was shocked when he heard this and stood up with a loud cry.
"Then how can Zhongmou be left in Lu'an?"
"Your brother is in danger, how come you are so indifferent and still have time to play chess here?"
"Third uncle, does he want me to abandon Shu County now and break camp directly to Lu'an?"
Sun Ce raised his head and glanced at Sun Jing, and said in a deep voice: "Should I be like those ignorant women and children, weeping and crying?"
