Sun Ce was furious, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes in an instant.

In the next moment, he forcibly held back.

There is no way, he is asking Yu Ji now, although he is unhappy in his heart, he can only endure it.

At this time, Lu Su saw that Sun Ce was displeased, and hurriedly said: "Lord, Haiyang City is located behind the side of Chaisang, which can not only threaten our army's grain route, but also threaten the safety of Jianye. ”

Of course, Sun Ce knew the importance of Haidu, and he couldn't wait to lead the army to personally kill Haiduan and slaughter Deng Ai's stinky boy now.

But the problem is that once he divides his troops, the soldiers and horses in Chaisang City will be reduced, not only will he not be able to continue to attack Su Zhe, but he may also take the opportunity to be attacked by Su Zhe.

As for Haidu, if there are fewer troops, they may not be able to recapture the city immediately, and the soldiers and horses sent will be dragged by Deng Ai.

But if there are too many troops, there are too few soldiers and horses on Chaisang's side, in case Su Zhe comes to attack in a big way, it will be even more dangerous.

Sun Ce only felt like a man's back, and finally realized the viciousness of Su Zhe's move, which really made him uncomfortable.

Sun Ce's face was gloomy, his fists were clenched, his brows were furrowed for a while, and he couldn't make a decision.

At this time, Lu Meng, who had been silent, arched his hand and said: "The Su thief is powerful, if we want to defeat him, it will not be possible to achieve it in one day, and even if we defeat the Su thief this time, we may not be able to take Xiakou." ”

As soon as the conversation changed, Lu Meng continued: "The lord can think in reverse, although the sea is lost, it is equivalent to the Su thief giving us a lone army, if we can destroy these five thousand enemy troops and capture that Deng Ai alive, it will also be a big victory, and it will still be beneficial to us." ”

Lu Meng's words turned the originally passive situation into an active one, and Sun Ce was in a much more comfortable mood when he heard it, and his frowning brows slowly relaxed.

After pondering for a long time, Sun Ce snorted coldly: "Su thief, do you think your trick has succeeded, I will destroy your five thousand lonely army, and let you lift a stone to shoot yourself in the foot!" ”

Sun Ce immediately ordered Lü Meng to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to immediately go south to Haidun City, and be sure to recapture the city as quickly as possible.

Lu Meng did not dare to hesitate and immediately led his troops away.

In this way, the news of the loss of the city could not be hidden, and soon spread throughout the army.

These tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers were originally holding back their strength and were ready to fight the Wei army, but they never expected that before they set off, they were kicked in the buttocks, forcing their lords to change their strategies.

In the face of the war, the blow to the confidence of the soldiers can be imagined, and soon the whole army was talking about it, and the morale of the army was frustrated.

Sun Ce had no choice but to endure this evil breath and ordered the soldiers to return to their respective camps, strictly guard the city camp, and not move without permission.

Sun Ce returned to the big tent sullenly.

As soon as he entered the big tent, his butt had not yet sat firmly, and the soldiers outside came to report that the captured Ling Cao had returned.

"Father! Father, he's back! When Ling Tongyi heard that Ling Cao was still alive, he immediately fell into ecstasy.

Sun Ce was also surprised, and hurriedly ordered Ling Cao to be introduced.

After a while, Ling Cao walked into the big tent gloomily, and bowed down to Sun Ce with a ashamed face: "Ling Cao is incompetent, he was captured by the Su thief, and he asked the lord to punish him." ”

"Deran, hurry up, it's good that you can come back alive." Sun Ce hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, patted him on the shoulder and comforted.

Ling Tong also cried with joy and pounced, and when the father and son saw each other, they couldn't help but hug their heads and cry.

After the two of them cried for a long time, Lu Su coughed dryly: "It's good that General Ling is back, but wasn't General Ling captured by the Su thieves, and how did he escape?" ”

Ling Cao's emotions calmed down, and his face swelled with shame: "I really don't dare to hide it from the lord, the last general didn't escape by himself, but the Su thief took the initiative to let me come back." ”

Sun Celu was stunned, and the two of them looked suspicious, and they didn't understand what they meant for a while.

Ling Cao didn't dare to beat around the bush, and arched his hand: "Back to the lord, then Su Zhe let me come back because he wanted me to bring a message to the lord." ”

With a word?

Sun Ce understood, and Su Zhe was using Ling Cao as a mouthpiece, so he could spare him from dying.

"I'm curious, what does the thief want to tell me?" Sun Ce sneered.

Ling Cao didn't dare to hide it, so he truthfully conveyed to Sun Ce those threatening words that Su Zhe asked Sun Ce to be a minister.

Syllable!

The more Sun Ce listened, the more angry he became, slapped the case hard, and scolded: "Arrogance!" ”

If Sun Ce heard these words an hour ago, not only would he not be angry, but he would also be sarcastic and ridiculed, and would only think that this was Su Zhe who wanted to withdraw from the army and find himself under the stairs when he couldn't help him.

And now, in addition to anger, Sun Ce's heart is still angry.

Su Zhe clearly pinched the right time, calculated that Deng Ai would capture Haiyang City at this time, but at this time he sent Ling Cao back to convey to him the intention of making him a minister.

Isn't this just a victory to humiliate him, to threaten him?

"The Su thief is really ridiculous, what a hero the lord is, he thinks that just by virtue of his sneak attack to win, the lord will be scared by him, it's really funny."

Lu Su said sarcastic words on the side, indirectly enlightening and comforting Sun Ce.

Sun Ce's face changed at this time, and he snorted coldly: "Su Thief is really arrogant, I, Sun Ce, am the little overlord of Jiangdong, even if I only have one soldier left to fight with him, how can I trap him as a traitor!" ”

"The last general also said this to Su Zhe at the time, and the last general said that my lord is a hero in the world, and it is impossible to surrender to you." Ling Cao was also busy attaching.

His ministers and ministers ridiculed Su Zhe with disdain for a while, and Sun Ce remembered that Ling Cao had just come back and asked him to go down and rest first.

Ling Cao hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "Lord, the last general has some more important matters, and I want to report to the lord." ”

"Say it." Sun Ce waved his hand.

"This ...... This matter is confidential, I'm afraid it's not convenient here......" Ling Cao glanced around, and his eyes were heavy on Yu Ji.

Sun Ce understood, so he retreated from Ji and the other generals, leaving only Lu Su by his side.

"Zijing is not an outsider, if there is anything confidential, you can just say it." Sun Ce said.

Ling Cao took a deep breath, and then pretended to be drunk in front of Su Zhe that day, and overheard Su Zhe mention Yu Ji, and how he overheard Su Zhe's conversation with Yu Ji's messenger through the curtain.

Sun Ce's expression became more and more gloomy, his fists also clicked, and the angry flames in his eyes were burning wildly.

Syllable!

As soon as Ling Cao finished speaking, Sun Ce slapped the case, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Good Yu Ji, I know that he didn't have a good heart, first let his followers continue to spread rumors and belittle me in Jiangdong, and now he is secretly colluding with Su Thief and wants to betray me, this demon Dao, I have to kill him!" ”
