The battle at the bottom of the slope ended quickly, and Xu Gong's disciples and subordinates thought that they had an absolute numerical advantage and came to take advantage of the excitement, but they did not expect to run into the Yicong battalion led by Xu Chu and suffered heavy losses. Seeing that the situation was not good, they were in a mess, some tried to bypass other places, and some turned around and fled.

No matter what the choice is, the result is almost the same, Dian Wei took the Wu Mengying righteous servants to guard the main roads, the archers shot far, the righteous obedient refused to approach, and killed those headless fly-like doormen and subordinates. Sun Ce had expected this before, and the order given to Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others was to leave no one alive and kill them all. Historically, Sun Ce died at the hands of Xu Gong's assassins, and although he would not give those people another chance, it was always better to kill them cleanly, at least with a deterrent effect. Killing people in vain will leave a bad name, and it is justified for two armies to fight and kill people.

At the end of the foot battle, Yan Xing and others appeared, nearly two hundred horsemen came out from both sides of the Tiger Hill, galloped on horseback, ruthlessly pursued and killed the rout, the far ones shot arrows, the near ones swords and spears, and fell to the ground like chopping melons and vegetables. The knights cleaned the battlefield, killed all the dead ones one by one, and dragged the corpses over and placed them in front of the slope in turn.

Sun Ce ordered people to cut off the heads of the first few people and sent people to the front of the battle.

"Okay, the outcome has been decided, you can sit in peace, right?" Sun Ce turned around and warmly beckoned Lu Kang and the others to return to their seats.

Having seen the combat effectiveness of Sun Ce's subordinates with his own eyes, even those who are no longer familiar with warfare know that Sun Ce's self-confidence is not groundless, it is based on strong strength. With such an elite in hand, as long as Shen You does not make a big mistake, he will definitely win. Xu Gong doesn't have to think about it anymore, that is a walking corpse, Sun Ce's entry into Wu County is already a fait accompli, their adventure is successful, and now it is time to distribute the benefits. As for those who received the invitation but didn't come, let them regret going.

When I re-seated, the atmosphere was noticeably more relaxed. After all, it is a person with status, and no one is willing to easily mention the matter of doing business, Shen Heng took the lead in proposing that Lu Kang be appointed as the county school sacrificial wine, and Gao Biao should be the deputy, and they would preside over the county school and rebuild the history of Wuhui together. In order to show their support, the Shen family is willing to provide 500 gold grants.

Zhang Yun and Gao Guo were not to be left behind, and immediately agreed, each with 500 gold to help students.

Lu Kang happily obeyed, but Gao Biao politely refused, claiming that he was old and lacked energy. Lu Kang did not force him, and immediately recommended Gao Biao's son Gao Dai. Gao Dai is in the prime of life, proficient in "Zuo Chuan", and has good learning, so he should take on this important task.

Watching a group of people either sincerely or politely promote each other, Sun Ce had a faint smile on his face. After Lu Kang and the others finished speaking, he stood up, clapped his hands, and called Cai Mao.

"You probably already know him. But I'd like to introduce it in a big way. Cai Mao Cai Deqi, a native of Xiangyang, can be traced back to be a descendant of Cai Guo. But those are too far away, and I won't be able to tell you for a while, so let's talk about some close. If you know anything about me, you probably know that my first battle was in Xiangyang. The reason why I was able to win a small victory and expel Liu Biao from Jingzhou was that Deju helped me a lot. ”

Cai Mao politely saluted Lu Kang and the others. Lu Kang and the others heard the meaning, but they didn't speak.

"When I say that Dejue has helped me a lot, I don't just mean that he has contributed money and efforts, but that I am not afraid that I am shallow and willing to practice my opinion, even if this suggestion seems absurd. Fortunately, we have not made any major mistakes in our cooperation for more than a year, I have obtained high-quality ordnance, fabrics and various materials, and the Cai family has not lost money. Therefore, when I came to Wuhui this time, I invited him as well, hoping that he could temporarily serve as the Taishou of Wu County and continue to support me before the imperial edict arrived. Of course, this also needs your strong help, without the father of Wu County, let alone him, I can't do anything. ”

Sun Ce looked at everyone with a smile, and his gaze finally fell on Lu Kang's face.

Lu Kang smiled bitterly. He knew that this Wujun Taishou would fall into the hands of Sun Ce, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to let Cai Mao be the Taishou. Sun Ce said that this is only temporary, of course, it is not true, with the strength of the imperial court, it is impossible to compete with Sun Ce for Wu County now, Wu County did this to save face for him, in order to show that he has the imperial court.

Although he felt that it was inappropriate, what could he do?

Lu Kang hesitated for a moment and bowed. "From then on, I will ask Cai Fujun to do more benevolent government and benefit the elders of Wu County."

Shen Heng immediately chimed in. Gu Hui and others also saluted. Cai Mao didn't dare to slack off, and returned the gifts one by one.

After they were polite, Sun Ce invited Wei Teng again. "I don't need to introduce this one, you are more familiar than me. I want to recommend him as Wu Ling, presumably you won't have an opinion, right? ”

Wei Teng has been waiting. Although he guessed that Sun Ce would use him, Sun Ce didn't say it, it was just his guess after all. Now that the dust had settled, the heart that hung in his throat had finally fallen. Lu Kang and the others were not surprised, Wei Teng had entered Gusu City many times these days to contact them, and Sun Ce naturally wanted to use him. If it weren't for Wei Teng's lack of experience as a eunuch before, and he rushed to Shicheng to save Zhou Xin, it would not be Wu Ling now, but Wu Jun Taishou.

However, after all, Wu County is the largest county in Wu County, and it is in the same city as Taishou, the importance is self-evident, and Sun Ce can put him in this position, which is enough to show that Sun Ce has enough mind to tolerate the past enemies. In other words, as long as those who didn't come today showed enough sincerity, Sun Ce could still accept them. Those here have advantages, but the advantages are not immutable, and if the cooperation is not good, Sun Ce may still give up on them.

One Wu Jun Taishou and one Wu Ling conveyed a meaning that was enough for them to think about it carefully. If they thought that Sun Ce was young and easy to fool, they were very wrong. He not only has a talent that ordinary people can hardly achieve in the use of soldiers, but also excels in government affairs. You'd better think twice before you want to play tricks on him.

Everyone exchanged glances and saluted again, some praised Sun Ce for his tolerance, some congratulated Wei Teng on his promotion, jokingly called him a parent official, and asked him to take care of him in the future, which was more enthusiastic than greeting Cai Mao just now.

Sun Ce saw it in his eyes and didn't move. These are human spirits, and they will not be at his mercy, as long as the overall situation is in control, he will treat their little tricks as if he didn't see them. These two personnel arrangements were discussed by him, Guo Jia and Shen You before. Lu Kang and Shen Heng are the assists he wants to strive for, and now it seems that everything is going well, and Wu Jun is in control.

At this time, fierce war drums were heard in the distance, heralding the beginning of a full-scale counterattack. Sun Ce turned to look at the battlefield and showed a faint smile. He made a gesture towards Yan Xing down the slope. Yan Xing turned over and got on his horse and galloped away with Bai Yushi and Xiliang Jing.

Lu Kang and the others sighed secretly. They knew that after Xu Gong was finished, even if he didn't die on the battlefield, he wouldn't be able to escape the two hundred elite cavalry that Sun Ce had prepared for him. He thought that he had tens of thousands of county soldiers in his hands and a victory ticket in his hand, but he didn't expect that Sun Ce didn't have to take action in person at all, so he stood outside the battlefield and sent a Shen friend who had never even fought a battle to fight, and he won the victory while talking and laughing.

The gap between them is not a little bit, not at all on the same level.

Some people raised their heads and looked at the sun in the sky, while others lowered their heads and looked at the shadows under their feet.

The sun is in the east, the shadow is slanting in the west, and noon has not yet arrived.
