Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, let out a sigh of relief, sat on the couch with his buttocks, supported the edge of the couch with both hands, and lowered his head weakly. He felt so tired that he didn't have any strength in his body, and he couldn't even lift his head.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, Yuan Tan subconsciously stood up, straightened his waist, raised his head, and said loudly: "Don't panic, there's nothing to be afraid of, Sun Ce is not a thousand horses, even if he ...... George, it's you, why are you here? ”

Xin Bi glanced at Yuan Tan, waved his hand, and motioned for the guards to go out. Yuan Tan was embarrassed, and his pale face flushed.

"George, I'...... Am I too nervous? ”

Xin Bi walked up to Yuan Tan, pressed his hands on his shoulders, and asked him to sit down. "What does the first sentence of Sun Tzu's Art of War say? Soldiers, the land of birth, the way of survival, is the most dangerous place in the world. In such a place, it is normal to be nervous, and people who are not nervous will only lose their teachers and humiliate the country, and will not become famous generals. ”

Yuan Tan sighed and said with a forced smile: "Thank you George for your relief." ”

"But the envoy can't rest yet." Xin Bi patted Yuan Tan on the shoulder. "The camps are in chaos, if Sun Ce really attacks the camp, the consequences are unimaginable. I would like to take this opportunity to make Jun Dang inspect the battalions to see which people are available and who are indiscriminately filled, reward and punish those who are clumsy, and then give them training to improve their combat effectiveness......"

Before Xin Bi finished speaking, Yuan Tan understood what he meant, and nodded again and again, inexplicably happy. "George, you're so right, this is a good opportunity. Usually they are self-righteous, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but now things are in a hurry, and they can see at first sight whether they can or cannot. I'm going to go, and maybe I'll be able to pick out some of the available talents. ”

Yuan Tan got up, hurriedly went out of the tent, and took the guards with him. Xin Bi arched his hands, watched Yuan Tan leave, his cheeks twitched involuntarily, and he sat down slowly. In terms of nervousness, he is even more nervous than Yuan Tan. In terms of exhaustion, he was more tired than Yuan Tan, and the wound on the back of his head hurt so much that it was like a knife poking his brain. Hua Tuo asked him to recuperate for a month or two, not to be too tired, so as not to affect the healing of the wound. But how could he recuperate? Without defeating Sun Ce, he will never be able to feel at ease. Even if the scar on the back of the head heals, the scar in the heart will not heal.

appeased Yuan Tan and asked him to calm the army's mind, Xin Bi's mission was not over. He settled down, returned to his big tent, and continued to deal with the news that came one after another, while thinking about the purpose of Sun Ce's move.

He wouldn't just test Yuan Tan, right?

The scalp tightened for a while, and the blood vessels beat fast, pulling the wound, and Simbi raised his hand and touched it carefully. The tentacles were warm, and he didn't need to look at it, he knew that the wound was cracked again. He sighed, had the map spread on the ground, and called for the waiter to reapply the medicine and bandage it. The medicine he used was the medicine for injuries in Nanyang Materia Medica, and Hua Tuo said that this medicine was the best medicine for injuries at the moment. When he heard this, Simbi felt that fate was very ironic. He was injured by Sun Ce, but he still had to use Nanyang's wound medicine, and he didn't know whether to hate Sun Ce or be grateful to Sun Ce.

After rebandaging, Simbi lay on the couch and looked down at the map.

The waiter marked Sun Ce's whereabouts on the map, and as the news came one after another, the direction of the line was already clear: Fan County, if it was extended further, it would be the Blem Hill. That was the scope controlled by Tai Shici, Ji Ling and others. Tai Shi Ci rushed to Kang's father a few days ago and participated in the battle to attack Lu Zhao, now that the battle is over, it is normal for Tai Shi Ci to return to the station, what is Sun Ce going to do?

Xin Bi's gaze wandered back and forth on the map, and finally landed on Nan Binh Duong. After changing the medicine, the pain of the wound was reduced a lot, his thoughts became clearer, and a light smile gradually bloomed at the corner of his mouth. He slowly got up and said to himself, "Sun Ce, this time, I will let you go without returning." ”

——

Sun Ce marched in a hurry for a day, dressed in the sunset, and walked into Tai Shici's camp.

was similar to Yuan Tan's reaction, Ji Ling and Zang Ba were not at all mentally prepared for the sudden appearance of this thousand cavalry. Fortunately, they knew each other well, so they quickly calmed down and rushed to Tai Shici's camp to pay their respects.

Ji Ling's camp and Tai Shici's camp were adjacent to each other, and they came the fastest. He met with Sun Ce, and he was courteous. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Ce also took a good look at Ji Ling. Sun Ce has a new understanding of this Shandong man, who has been regarded as a second-rate general both in history and in romance. Not to mention anything else, he was able to hold Lu County for so long under Yuan Tan's onslaught, and after breaking the city, he broke through the siege, and did not surrender to Yuan Tan, his character is very good.

"Fuyi, the battle of Lucheng was well defended, although it was lost in the end, it is not your responsibility." Sun Ce got straight to the point. "I'll give you a chance to take Lu County back, and you continue to be Lu Xiang, how about it?"

Although Ji Ling was mentally prepared, he was still very grateful and thanked him even again. Tai Shi Ci helped him and said with a smile: "Fuyi, the general not only wants to entrust Lu County to you, but also to assign Hexiang and Changxi to Lu State, and from then on, this Yanxu Gate will be handed over to you, you have to guard it." ”

Ji Ling was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly bowed down to thank him. "The general is wrong to love, and the spirit dares to disobey his fate."

Sun Ce calmly bowed, and then he lifted Ji Ling. "Lucheng is in a hurry and difficult to recapture, you are temporarily stationed in Wuxian County and rectify the people. I have already sent an order to Yuzhou that at most half a month, I will send the equipment of 3,000 people to Wuxian. You can find a way to solve part of the grain yourself, and I will transport some of it from Pengcheng. ”

"Thank you, General." Ji Ling was overjoyed. Tai Shici's men and horses used the equipment provided by Yuzhou, and they had been envious for a long time. Sun Ce provided him with equipment for 3,000 men, which would greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of his subordinates. More importantly, this means that Sun Ce has included him in the lineage of troops, and does not treat him differently because he is newly attached. Compared to Tao Qian, Sun Ce was simply too generous.

Sun Ce immediately told the detailed plan, and Ji Ling listened very carefully. This is his new starting point, and whether he can complete the task is very important to his future under Sun Ce. Last time, he failed to hold Lu County, and he had a negative Tao Qian, and this time he must not repeat the mistakes of the past.

While talking lively, Zang Ba and Chang Feng came, and when they saw Ji Ling's attitude towards Sun Ce, Zang Ba and Chang Feng exchanged a look, and they were a little uneasy. Zang Ba walked quickly to Sun Ce's door and bowed.

"I have admired General Sun's name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name."

Sun Ce returned the salute and said with a smile: "What kind of person is Sun Ce that Xuan Gao's ears heard, can you tell me about it?" ”

Zang Ba was surprised. He was a polite remark, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to take it seriously. He looked at Sun Ce, not knowing what to say for a while. Sun Ce continued: "Is it wise and martial, using soldiers like gods, or is it vulgar and unwritten, brave and ruthless, destroying slaughterers, and killing people like hemp?" ”

"Uh......" Zang Baqiang said with a smile: "Naturally, he is wise and martial, and he uses soldiers like gods." ”

"It seems that Xuan Gao is wary of me, worship ghosts and gods and stay away?" Sun Ce pointed at Zang Ba, smiling rather than smiling.

Zang Ba was embarrassed. "Of course, some people say that generals are good at killing, but I don't believe it."

Sun Ce laughed and said, "You should believe that I did kill many people, and I will kill more people in the future." Once the success is still dry, not to mention the reform of the old and the new, and recreate the future? If we don't kill those hypocrites who are moral on the surface but despicable and obscene behind the scenes, how can we rebuild peace? ”

Before Zang Ba could speak, Chang Feng slapped his thigh and praised: "If the general said it well, you have to kill, if you don't kill it, you can't do it." ”
