Sun He's resistance bought time for Sun Ce and the others to escape, and the group desperately fled in the direction of Shicheng, and in a place thirty miles away from Shicheng, everyone was already sleepy and tired.

In desperation, Sun Ce had no choice but to order the whole army to rest in place temporarily.

However, no one expected that the Xuzhou soldiers would suddenly be killed at this time, and the first person was Tai Shici, the general under Zhang Yan's account.

Tai Shi Ci led more than a thousand soldiers, waiting for work, rushed up, and killed Sun Ce directly.

Seeing this, Sun Ce was surprised, he didn't expect Tai Shi Ci to appear here, at this moment, although he had many soldiers and horses, he was already exhausted, and he was not the opponent of Tai Shi Ci and the others at all.

In desperation, Sun Ce had no choice but to leave Han Dang and Huang Gai to lead the army to temporarily resist Tai Shici, while he led Zhou Yu, Sun Jing, Lu Fan, Zhu Zhi, Dong Xi and others to retreat to Shicheng first.

Han Dang and Huang Gai resisted Tai Shici's soldiers, and Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others were able to escape.

But Tai Shi Ci is extremely brave, Han Dang and Huang Gai, who are already physically and mentally exhausted, are not opponents, Han Dang was stabbed in the hand by Tai Shi Ci, and Huang Gai was stabbed in the shoulder socket by Tai Shi Ci, and he couldn't resist it, and under the cover of his own soldiers, they fled elsewhere together.

Tai Shi Ci also did not pursue Han Dang and Huang Gai, and led his subordinates to pursue Sun Ce, because his target was Sun Ce.

Sun Ce rushed all the way with the remnants of the army, and his followers volunteered to stay to resist Tai Shi Ci, but they were not Tai Shi Ci's opponents, and they were all defeated by Tai Shi Ci. These pro-soldiers fought to the death and did not retreat, and to a certain extent, blocked Tai Shici's way forward. bought Sun Ce more time.

Sun Ce didn't dare to stop along the way. When you are about to arrive at Stone City. There were only more than three hundred cavalry left, and everyone had a great tiredness on their faces.

When they saw that the big banner with the word "Sun" was still hanging on the wall of Shicheng, Sun Ce and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Ce came to the city, and when he was out of breath, he took a little breath, and shouted to the soldiers on the city wall: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

When the soldiers saw Sun Ce coming, they immediately opened the city gate, and Sun Ce rode forward. When he was about to enter the city, he suddenly heard Zhou Yu behind him say: "The lord is slow." ”

Sun Ce stopped the horse, turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, and asked, "Gong Jin, is there anything wrong?" ”

Zhou Yu came to Sun Ce's side and said to Sun Ce: "You have to be cautious in everything, Tai Shici was ambushed on the way, but Shicheng was safe and sound, I think it's a little strange." It's better to send someone into the city to tango first, if there is no danger. It's not too late to re-enter the city! ”

Sun Ce nodded and summoned Zhu Zhi. Said: "In the stone city, all your subordinates, you can enter the city for me to find out!" ”

"Whoa!"

Zhu Zhi received the order, and immediately rode his horse to the city, and when he came to the gate of the city, he reined in his horse and looked around, but he did not see his subordinate military horses, so he asked, "Where is the military horses?" ”

As soon as the shout fell, a military Sima walked out of the city with a few soldiers, and as soon as he appeared, he immediately shouted at Zhu Zhi: "My lord, go quickly, the city has been ...... by Xuzhou soldiers."

Before the military Sima finished speaking, the soldiers behind him directly beheaded him. Zhu Zhi was taken aback, turned his horse's head, and just wanted to escape, the soldiers by the city gate rushed up and directly dragged Zhu Zhi off his horse.

Zhu Zhi immediately shouted at Sun Ce outside the city: "Lord, go quickly!" ”

Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Sun Jing, Lu Fan and others were all taken aback when they saw such a scene, seeing that the soldiers tied up Zhu Zhi with all kinds of flowers, but they couldn't do anything.

At this moment, all the Xuzhou soldiers on the city tower were displayed, and the first person to wear armor was Lu Dai, the loyal captain under Zhang Yan's account.

Lü Dai was not in Yangzhou, and in order to be able to drive Sun Ce away smoothly, Zhang Yan secretly mobilized Lü Dai's troops from Xuzhou to come to support, captured Shicheng early, and acted according to his instructions.

When Lu Dai saw that the matter was revealed, he immediately asked the archers in the city to shoot Sun Ce and others, Sun Ce and others retreated one after another, seeing that Shicheng was occupied by Zhang Yan, and did not know what to do.

Sun Ce's face was full of resentment, Danyang and Shicheng were lost one after another, and his subordinates only had hundreds of remnants left, how could they still gain a foothold in Jiangdong?

Zhou Yu said: "Lord, Shicheng has also been occupied by Xuzhou soldiers, and our army has lost its foundation in Jiangdong, so it is better to temporarily retreat to Licheng and make another plan!" ”

"That's all there is to it!" Although Sun Ce was extremely reluctant, at this moment, he was helpless.

Licheng still has his uncle Wu Jing there, if he doesn't go there, where else can he go?

Wu Jing originally followed Sun Ce to Jiangdong, but in order to leave a way back, Sun Ce followed Zhou Yu's advice and asked Wu Jing to lead a thousand troops back to Licheng to garrison.

What Sun Ce and Zhou Yu didn't expect was that such an inadvertent arrangement actually became a fact. Now they can only lead the remnants to join Wu Jing.

Sun Ce was forced to lead the remnants of the army to flee, hating Jiangdong, and came in a mighty way, but fled back in embarrassment. If it weren't for Zhang Yan's intervention, maybe he would have been able to sweep Jiangdong and complete his ambition. Up to now, Sun Ce is full of hatred for Zhang Yan, and secretly swears that one day, he will let Zhang Yan pay for his blood debts.

A group of people came to Niuzhu, searched for some ships everywhere, carried the remnants of the defeated generals, and were forced to retreat to Licheng.

The Yangtze River is rolling, the waves are continuous, Sun Ce lost this opportunity, I don't know when he will be able to set foot in Jiangdong again?

Sun Ce was defeated and fled, and Liu Miao regained the lost territory and stationed the elite soldiers and horses in Niuzhu to prevent Sun Ce from crossing the river to fight again.

Zhang Yan was able to successfully repel Sun Ce because of the help of Zu Lang and Jiao Ji, and the promise he promised to these two thieves should be fulfilled now.

So, Zhang Yan went to Liu Miao in person and persuaded Liu Miao to take Zu Lang as the Taishou of Danyang, and Jiao was already the Governor of Danyang.

Liu Xuan, in view of Zu Lang and Jiao's help to him, also agreed very heartily. However, Liu Miao ceded the eight counties of Jing County, Wanling, Shexian, Yuqian, Lingyang, Guyan, Yixian, and Chungu, and formed a new Danyang County from these eight counties, while the eight counties of Wuhu, Liyang, Danyang, Shicheng, Hushu, Moling, Jurong, and Jiangcheng, together with the two counties of Qu'a and Dantu in Wu County, together formed Jinling County.

It stands to reason that Liu Miao is still very smart, Zu Lang and Jiao have been active in these counties, and he ceded the eight counties with such a knife to form a new Danyang County, even if Zu Lang is appointed as the Taishou of Danyang, he will not suffer, originally these counties are rampant thieves, and they have long been abandoned by him.

But for Zu Lang and Jiao Ji, even so, they were elated, in this way, it was equivalent to them from thieves to officials, and they were justified when they spoke in that area.

However, Liu Miao made an agreement with Zu Lang and Jiao in three chapters, and he was not allowed to copy the people and do what the thieves had done before.

Zu Lang and Jiao have changed from thieves to officials, and they are extremely happy, and they all agree to Liu Xuan's meaning.

In this way, the matter was resolved satisfactorily. Sun Ce was repulsed, and even Zu Lang and Jiao had become Liu Xuan's subordinates, and Liu Xuan was very happy.

However, for the generals such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Chen Wu, Sun He, and Dong Xi who absconded under Sun Ce's account, Liu Miao posted a wanted notice, and those who caught them were rewarded.

With the help of Zhang Yan, Liu Xuan successfully defended Jiangdong, repelled Sun Ce, and deeply felt Zhang Yan's strength.

Therefore, after everything was settled, Liu Miao offered to marry his daughter to Tai Shici as his wife.

Zhang Yan was naturally pleasantly surprised, so he and Liu Miao and others organized Tai Shici's wedding together, and they got married in Moling City.

For this reason, Liu Miao also moved the administrative office from Qu'a to Moling City.

After Tai Shici's wedding, Zhang Yan led the army back to Xuzhou, but Liu Yan was afraid that Sun Ce would come again, so at the invitation of Liu Xiang, Zhang Yan left Chen Deng, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin to lead the army to garrison Niuzhu, facing Sun Ce across the river.

Zhang Yan led Tai Shici, Zhang Hong, Lü Dai and others back to Xuzhou...... (To be continued......)
