Yuan Tan soon received news from Li Gan.

They were not surprised by Sun Ce's reaction, which was expected by Xin Bi. Sun Ce couldn't give in easily, he would definitely test it. If Li Gan continued to chase, Sun Ce would probably seize the opportunity to hit him. But this is not the key, Sun Ce will not regard Li Gan as an opponent, and whether he defeats Li Gan or not will have no substantial impact on the entire battle situation or Sun Ce's personal reputation.

Sun Ce retreated to Fangdong and Shan Father, is he ready to retreat to Suiyang, or is he ready to go back to the back, or both? Did he see the hidden dangers of Yuan Xu and Yuan Xu after they left their posts and use them?

Xin Bi leaned to Sun Ce that he had seen the flaw and knew that it was a trap. But knowing that this is a trap does not mean that Sun Ce will walk away. The line between a trap and a flaw is not very clear, a flaw can be a trap, and a trap can also become a real flaw. If Yuan Tan had arranged most of his forces to the front in exchange for the purpose of relieving the siege of Rencheng, his central and rear armies might become real flaws.

The fact that the soldiers of Jiyin County are weak links is a fact, not a fiction.

Xin Bi suggested that Yuan Tan ignore Sun Ce for the time being, march eastward step by step, and make a gesture that he only wants to drive Sun's father and son out of Yanzhou, hiding his true purpose. Sun Ce was ingenious and handed over the main force to Sun Jian's command, he led the cavalry to fight outside, Yuan Tan couldn't catch up with him, so he had to repeat his old tricks, hoping to surround Sun Jian and force Sun Ce to relieve the siege.

To attack Rencheng, it is necessary to solve the defense line of Sun Ce's subordinates around Rencheng, and there are three options for Yuan Tan: Hulu, Gaoping, and Kangfu. Hulu is too far away from Rencheng, and there are Gao Ping and Kang's father in the middle, which is of little significance. Gao Ping is also not suitable. Gao Ping was in the east of Surabaya, and if he wanted to attack the city, he would cross the water first, which was not good for Yuan Tan. Kang's father is the best target, and if you take Kang's father, you can go straight to Rencheng.

Yuan Tan immediately ordered Li Gan to stay in Dongwei to cover the right flank of the army, Mao Yu led 5,000 people to defend Changyi, and he led the main force of more than 40,000 people to take Kang's father directly.

Before leaving, Yuan Tan swore an oath, and the main priest was You. The ceremony was grand and powerful. It is normal to sacrifice the smart Chi You before the battle, but Yuan Tan's scale is beyond the norm, and his attitude is too pious, which inevitably makes people feel that he lacks confidence and can only turn to the gods for help.

Seeing the reaction of the soldiers, Yuan Tan was secretly happy in his heart. He did this to expose his weakness so that he could lure Sun Ce to attack at close range. But Sun Ce wandered around his single father, advancing or retreating, and his whereabouts were uncertain. He appeared near Changyi for a time, but soon withdrew, much to the joy of Yuan Tankong.

Yuan Tan didn't know what Sun Ce was thinking, but Xin Bi was not in a hurry, he asked Yuan Tan to strengthen his vigilance while marching. Three days later, they arrived in Jinxiang, and five days later, the army arrived at Kang's father, surrounded Kang's father, and ordered the construction of siege equipment to prepare for the attack on Kang's father.

To Yuan Tan's surprise, Sun Jian's father and son sat back and watched Kang's father being surrounded, but they still didn't react at all. Sun Ce wandered around his single father, while Sun Jian besieged Rencheng wholeheartedly, without the slightest intention of rescuing Kang's father.

Yuan Tan and Xin Bi were anxious, but they had to be patient and wait for the appearance of the fighter.

This is the hardest time, and it is also the most patient time for both sides.

——

Futing Mountain.

Tai Shi Ci stood on a boulder that hung abruptly in the air, his hands behind his back, the mountain wind stirring the hair on his sideburns, but he couldn't blow his resolute eyes.

Two guards stood behind him, one with a bow bag and the other with a quiver, watching warily. It's not their territory, and it's always good to be careful. However, they are not nervous, since they fought with Tai Shi Ci in Yangxian Tongguan Mountain, they have not lost a battle, even if they met the famous Danyang Marshal Zu Lang, Tai Shi Ci has not fallen behind.

More than a dozen figures turned out on the mountain road in the distance, seemingly loose, but in fact they were very orderly, some people held bows, some people held shields, and in case of accidents, they could be put into battle at any time. Tai Shici looked at it for a while, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His eyesight is good, he can see very clearly, and at a glance he can see that the man in the front of the middle is tall and strong, but his eyebrows and eyes are more than smart, and his perseverance is insufficient, which is somewhat similar to the rumored Chang Xuan, but it is not the Ji Ling he wants to see.

Waiting for Changfeng to walk to the front of the slope, Tai Shici took the initiative to walk over and bow his hand. "Donglai Tai Shi Ci, the word is righteous, dare to ask Brother Chang's life."

Chang Feng was surprised and glanced at Tai Shici up and down. "We've met?"

"Brother Chang is also a well-known man among the heroes of Mount Tai, although I have not seen it, I have heard of it." Tai Shi Ci got straight to the point and went straight to the point. "Does Ji Fuyi think I'm presumptuous and don't want to see me?"

Chang Feng laughed, and pretended to be affectionate and said: "The captain misunderstood, Fu Yi is gathering people and horses, preparing to cooperate with the captain to attack, recapture Lu County, and avenge the revenge." But as you know, we have been guarding Lu County for so long, and we still know a little bit about Lu County, and we can't beat it if there are fewer people. Captain, how many men and horses did you bring, and how much grain and grass did you have? ”

Tai Shi Ci laughed silently. Chang Feng is sitting on the ground and starting the price, wanting to extort him a sum of food and materials. He looked at Chang Feng for a moment. "Brother Chang, forgive me for being lonely and unheard, or the first time I heard this surname, I don't know which sage it came from?"

Chang Feng puffed up his chest and said triumphantly: "The captain doesn't know, although our surname Chang is not prosperous, but it also has a little origin, the ancestor is the famous general Le Yi of the Warring States Period, he was named the king of Changguo, and the descendants of later generations take the country as their surname." ”

"After it turned out to be a famous general, it's no wonder that Brother Chang is proficient in the art of war and uses soldiers like a god."

The smile on Chang Xuan's face suddenly froze, and his eyes became gloomy. Tai Shi Ci is obviously sarcastic that he lost the battle and could only hide in the mountains to be a thief, which damaged the reputation of his ancestors. "The captain is serious, we are just people who survive, and we dare not expect to make contributions like the captain and pay homage to the generals. I wish the captain a successful start and success. Leave! ”

He arched his hand, turned and walked away. Tai Shici didn't stop him, and when he walked fifty or sixty steps, he said loudly: "Can you still live in the mountains?" ”

Chang Feng stopped, turned to look at Tai Shici, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, although it is hard, you can barely survive." ”

"How is it in Lu County?"

"Although it's not as easy as Lu County, it's not bad, especially these days, the wind is howling, and it's very comfortable."

"In that case, should you thank the rebellious general?"

"Oh, why?" Chang Feng couldn't help laughing and said, "We have never met the rebellious general, let alone received his favor. Thank you? ”

Tai Shici reached out and took the bow from the guard's hand, and put on another arrow, and the two arrows were sandwiched between his fingers. Seeing the bow and arrow in Tai Shici's hand, Chang Xuan's scalp was a little numb. He had long heard of Tai Shi Ci's archery skills, which were said to be able to pierce Yang in a hundred steps.

"Is the captain trying to force people?"

Tai Shi Ci smiled slightly. "Brother Chang, don't worry, the rebellious general said that you are all usable people, and you must not be the enemy unless you have to." As he spoke, he raised his bow and shot three arrows in one breath. The three feathered arrows galloped away, and a peach tree beside Chang Feng was in the middle. "Puff puff" three muffled sounds, all three arrows hit the peach tree, the arrows went deep into the trunk, forming a triangle, the distance between the two was like measured with a ruler.

Chang Feng gasped, and his hair stood on end.
