"Fluke." Tai Shi Ci said lightly, put away his bow, arched his hand, and stood aside silently.

Sun Ce smiled and looked at Dong Xi and Ling Cao on the side. "How about you try it too?"

Dong Xi and Ling Cao shook their heads again and again. Dong Xi smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from the general, I really wanted to take the initiative to ask for it just now, but Zhuyu is in front, so I won't be ugly." ”

Ling Cao also said: "If Gan Xingba is here, maybe he can compete with Ziyi." We don't have the strength, so don't be ashamed. ”

Sun Ce looked at Yu Fu and Shen Zhi again. Yu rolled his eyes and ignored Sun Ce. Shen Zhi also shook his head with a wry smile, not wanting to lose face. The Shen family attaches equal importance to civil and military affairs, and he is also proficient in martial arts, not as powerful as Shen You, but not bad. It's a pity that Sun Ce is surrounded by masters, and he doesn't even have a chance to show his hand, so don't be bored.

Shen arched his hand. "General, Taishi Ziyi is a divine shot, Guo Yi and Wang Sheng are cold, it is a good opportunity to persuade them to surrender. General, I'll go now. ”

Sun Ce agreed, and asked Ling Cao to arrange a small boat to send Shen to the opposite side to persuade him to surrender. He admired the lake breeze and mountains, listened to the faint screams on the other side, and thought about the mood of Guo Yi, Wang Sheng and others at the moment, and was in a very happy mood. Take Guling, and he, the Guiji Taishou, can finally take office. It's really not easy, the dignified Gui Taishou was actually stopped abroad and not allowed to enter, it's just unbearable for uncle and aunt.

——

Shen Zhi went ashore and reported his name, and someone reported to the city, and Shen Zhi waited on the shore while looking at the defense of Guling. Compared to when he left a few days ago, the current formation has changed a lot. Originally, the focus of defense was on the Jinkou Wharf on the north side to prevent Sun Ce from launching an attack from the waterway. The current focus of defense is the Yougao River on the south side. Sun Ce set up camp there and cut off the retreat.

After a while, Wang Lin hurriedly ran down from the city, looking at the boats in the lake as he walked. He came to Shen Zhi, bowed his hand, and smiled before speaking. "Brother Peping, don't come unharmed?"

Shen Zhi returned the salute and walked along the hillside with Wang Lin. "How is Guo Fujun's injury?"

"Shot through the palm of my hand, and I was a little frightened."

Shen looked directly at Wang Lin. "Do you know who that is?"

"I was about to ask, where did this sharpshooter come from?"

"Tai Shi Ci. Liu Zhijun sent to Yangxian to assist the general of the Tongguan Mountain Sect Marshal. ”

Wang Lin was not surprised, but his eyes were a little gloomy, and he was silent for a while before he said, "Was Yan Baihu persuaded by Brother Boping to surrender?" ”

Shen Zhi didn't hide it. Yan Baihu's brother Yan Yu was on the boat, and he and Sun Fujun hit it off at first sight. Zhongmao, are you still waiting for news from your brother? There is no need to wait, the sailors under the command of Sun Fujun have already controlled the river, and not a single boat or grain can come in, and you have no choice but to surrender or starve to death. ”

Wang Lin looked at Shen Zhi as he walked. "Brother Boping is both civil and military, and the Shen family is surnamed Wu County, presumably Sun Fujun must have given him a heavy responsibility, right?"

Shen Zhi blinked, slowed down, looked back at Xiajia Mountain opposite, thinking about the scene when he and Sheng Xian had just left Guling that day and were caught by Sun Ce, and sighed with emotion. One after the other, there is a difference of half a day. Leaving half a day early, Sheng Xian would not be so embarrassed, and was forced by Sun Ce to write an article on self-reflection. If he leaves for half a day, he will be trapped in Guling and unable to get out, and if he surrenders to Sun Ce, I am afraid that it is not as good as now.

"Zhong Mao, the opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come, although it is only a few days, the situation is already different. You can't take me as a standard, but you should look at reality and see what kind of conditions you can fight for at the moment. ”

Wang Lin's face changed drastically, and his smile disappeared without a trace. He is not stupid, how can he not hear Shen Zhi's meaning. His tone froze. "Brother Boping's talent is not comparable to that of my father and son, and the door of the Shen family is not something that my Wang family can climb, but after all, my father and Sun Wentai have a relationship, and Sun Fujun doesn't miss the old love at all?"

Shen turned around and continued to walk upward, but more slowly. Wang Lin came to greet him, indicating that Guo Yi's heart was in turmoil, and he had no other hope, so he could only pin his hopes on the friendship between Wang Sheng and Sun Jian. But it's a pity that their father and son are unrighteous first, so how can they ask Sun Ce to remember any old feelings. Just now, he deliberately reminded Sun Ce that Guo Yi was from the Nanyang family and a disciple of Liu Kuan, just to test Sun Ce's tone. Sun Ce didn't even give Yang Xiu face, and said in public that Guo Yi was a rebel who insulted his master, where was there room for maneuver.

Even if he cares about the township party, he will not intercede for Wang Sheng's father and son at this time. But he can't refuse it all at once, otherwise it will affect his reputation if he is talked about in the future. It's easy for him to raise a roll call, but he can't be ruined all at once.

"Has Zhong Mao seen Sun Fujun?"

"Yes, but that was a long time ago. Sun Wentai was an official in other places, and rarely returned to Fuchun, so there were not many opportunities to see each other. ”

"So, your father has a relationship with Sun Yuzhou, but he has no friendship with Sun Fujun, and now there is such a thing, he is young and angry, where do you still care about the old feelings. If you want to talk about old feelings, you should send someone to Runan to ask to see his father Sun Yuzhou. ”

Wang Linhu looked at Shen Zhi suspiciously, figuring out what he meant. Shen Zhi refused to intercede for them, and asked them to go to Runan to find Sun Jian to intercede. Runan is in the north of the Jiangbei, it takes at least ten days to come and go, and there is no food for ten days in Guling City, so it is naturally the meaning of saving life first and then planning later, in other words, don't have too high requirements.

Shen Zhi didn't speak, he wanted Wang Lin to think about it himself. When they arrived at the city of Guling, they put down the suspension bridge on the city, opened the city gate, and put Wang Lin and Shen Zhi inside. Shen Zhi watched as he walked, and along the way, the soldiers' expressions were very nervous, watching them walk by, closing their mouths one by one, their eyes following them, with both hope and fear in their eyes, obviously frightened by Guo Yi's injury.

It's no wonder that the archer is synonymous with master, and no one wants to encounter a sharpshooter on the battlefield and kill with an arrow from a hundred paces away, this invisible threat is the most nerve-wracking, especially those generals. Sharpshooters are all for them.

Wang Lin led Shen Zhi to the mansion, asked Shen Zhi to wait in the front hall, and came to the back hall by himself.

Guo Yi sat on the couch, gritted his teeth, and was sweating in pain. The palm of his hand was already wrapped, and the arrow cut into two pieces was thrown aside, and there were still traces of blood on it. The whole arrow was shot through, and the wound would certainly not be small, and maybe it would leave a disability. Guo Yi's son Guo Youzhi sat on the side, his eyes were red and swollen, he should have just cried. As the son of Taishou, he should have been on the battlefield for the first time and saw his relatives injured for the first time.

Wang Sheng, He Chun and others stood under the corridor, their faces gloomy, and when they saw Wang Lin coming in, Wang Sheng beckoned and called Wang Lin to him.

"What did Shen Zhi say?"

Wang Lin shook his head. "The situation is not easy to be optimistic, Yan Baihu has already been surrendered by Shen Zhi, and the person who shot the arrow is Tai Shici, we have no reinforcements to look forward to, and ......"

"And what?" Wang Sheng said angrily: "It's all at this time, and you're still spitting?" ”

"Sun Ce is very angry, I listen to Shen Zhi's voice, I'm afraid...... We can only save our lives. ”
