"Young master, young master!"

In front of the allied army, seeing Sun Ce driving his horse slowly towards the formation, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang rode their horses to meet them.

"Young master, are you alright?" Hitting the horse, Cheng Pu asked eagerly.

Huang Gai turned over and dismounted to lead the horse for Sun Ce, and after hearing this, he said angrily: "Demou, don't talk nonsense, how can the young master be injured like this?" ”

Han Dang's own injuries were quite serious, and even if he wanted to come forward to help at this moment, he was powerless, so he didn't speak, but waved his hand to signal his soldiers to come forward and bandage Sun Ce's wounds.

Immediately, with Huang Gai's support, Sun Ce turned over and dismounted, sat down on the ground, and let his soldiers step forward to remove his armor and treat his wounds.

"Humph!" A personal soldier inadvertently touched the wound, causing the corners of Sun Ce's mouth to twitch in pain, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his cheeks were pale and frightening. He was tenacious by nature, and he didn't blame the soldiers, nor did he scream in pain, but gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, until the wound was bandaged, he didn't say anything more.

After the soldiers put on the brocade robe for him, Sun Ce waved his hand back and beckoned Huang Gai to help him get on the horse.

"Young master, you are seriously injured, you are hurt in the heart, you can't get on the horse and fight again! What's more, it is getting late now, and the last general will build yì, we will temporarily withdraw the army, and wait for the young master to recuperate for a few days before attacking the city. Huang Gai said earnestly with a worried face.

Listening to Huang Gai's persuasion, Sun Ce raised his eyes and looked coldly at the five thousand Xiliang troops three hundred steps away from the opposite side, and found that Ma Chao had already entered the city, and there were only two young generals in front of the Xiliang army to lead the troops to confront each other, neither taking the initiative to attack, nor retreating into the city.

Seeing this, a thick look of anger appeared on Sun Ce's pale cheeks again. The eyes are very unwilling. At this time, he looked up at the south gate tower at dusk, and suddenly saw a tall man in a brocade robe standing at the front of the city tower and pointing with his middle finger, while Teng Xiao, the chief general of Anyi, was standing on the left side of the man, bowing down and listening.

Suddenly, without being reminded by anyone, Sun Ce also knew that the brocade-robed man on the city tower was Li Li, the commander of the Xiliang Army and the general of the hussars.

"Li, Li, Li Wenchang!" Saying the name of the brocade-robed man like a tooth, Sun Ce's originally pale cheeks instantly turned red like jujubes, and his eyes were filled with burning anger.

"Hugh has to say more, help me get on the horse!" In a fit of rage, Sun Ce glared at Huang Gai angrily. He shouted and scolded.

Huang Gai was stunned when he heard this, his face was flushed, and his expression was quite angry, but when he thought of Sun Ce's serious injury, he inevitably lost control. It was he who bowed his head in response. Then he helped Sun Ce turn over and sit on the back of the horse, and then stood aside. Lead the horse for Sun Ce.

Sun Ce who rode the war horse again. After a quick moment of breathing, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang, who were also covered in blood on their battle armors, and their bodies were also covered with white silk, as if they were seriously injured like themselves. Look at the corpse lying on the barren grass in front of the battle, that is Zu Mao Zu Darong, who once saved the life of his father Sun Jian and just gave his life to save him.

For a moment, Sun Ce's eyes dimmed. His heart was sour, and he whispered to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang: "The three uncles don't have to worry about my injuries. After Ma Chao's shot pierced Zu Mao just now, he immediately stabbed me in the chest, almost killing me with one shot. It's a pity that this guy was too happy too early and too confident. He thought he had stabbed me to death, and he was complacent. But I didn't know that it was his mistake in judgment that left me with an opportunity to take advantage of it, so I fired a gun and stabbed him in the left leg, causing him to suffer a heavy blow! ”

After a pause in his voice, Sun Ce took two deep breaths and said coldly: "The shot that Ma Chao pierced Zu Mao just now really pierced my heart. But it was only half an inch, half an inch, and if he pushed the spear half an inch harder, he would have pierced my heart and stabbed me to death on the spot. I was so desperate that I thought I would die from his guns. Without thinking about it, Ma Chao stopped it, so that I was in a desperate situation and stabbed him with a backhand. This is really blessed by the heavens, and it is destined that my Sun Ce's life should not be extinguished! ”

"Okay, so good, the young master Jiren has his own natural appearance!" Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang were shocked when they heard this, and then they shouted luck with palpitations and applauded in unison.

"Hmm." Sun Ce bowed his head in response, looked up at the brocade-robed man on the city tower and the Xiliang generals around him, and said in a deep voice: "After this battle, I have to admit that Li Thief's subordinates are indeed like a cloud, and their combat power is extraordinary, and there is a huge gap between us and us. At present, the 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses behind us are simply unable to defeat the Xiliang army, and it is almost impossible to capture Dongyuan City, let alone face off with the Li thief army. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Ce sighed softly and said, "Hey, the strength of the Li thief is definitely beyond what we can shake!" ”

"What the young master said is very true." Cheng Pu nodded when he heard this, and then said: "In the first battle just now, we suffered heavy losses. Not to mention that Hu Cai, the leader of the white wave thieves, was killed on the spot, even the three of us and the others were defeated and wounded one after another, and General Zu Mao was stabbed to death by Ma Chao's thieves. As far as I know, Wang Fang, the first general of the Western Liang Army, although he is also a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time and has a lot of qualifications, his martial arts are not outstanding, and his appearance is mediocre. In the Xiliang Army, he was not a close general of Li Thief, and it was only by relying on the trust of his old seniority and Li Thief's uncle Li Dao that he was able to emerge as the defender of Dongyuan City. However, such a person who is not outstanding was able to kill Hu Cai in one go, and then fought with me for dozens of rounds, and finally fought back and slashed me in death. To be honest, I was really surprised that Wang Fang was so fierce, and I still have palpitations in retrospect. ”

Cheng Pu's voice fell, and Huang Gai echoed: "What Demou said is good, the generals under the command of Li Thief are indeed fierce and abnormal. I just heard what the white wave thief Yang Feng said, the person who fought with me and Han Dang before was named Xu Huang, and now he is Wang Fang's deputy general, and he is simply unknown in the Xiliang army. However, in the fight just now, Han Dang and I joined forces to fight him, but they were still slightly inferior, if it wasn't for Han Dang's sneak attack earlier and shot him with an arrow, I'm afraid that the two of us would not be his opponents at all. This person's martial arts skills and calm-mindedness are far above Wang Fang, and it is said that he is still not an official general of the Xiliang Army, and he has never even seen Li Thief. However, it is such an unknown person, but with such a strong skill, the strength of the Xiliang Army can be seen from this. ”

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai said everything that should be said, and Han Dang naturally knew the true intention of the two of them to say this, which was nothing more than to persuade the young master Sun Ce to quit the war and retreat. It's just that Cheng Pu and Huang Gai have just angered Sun Ce. At this moment, he didn't dare to say it clearly, so the next person to directly break the theme was none other than Han Dang.

"In another half an hour, it will be dark, and the last general will build yì Our army will temporarily withdraw its troops, and after the lord of Yuan Meng and his army will arrive, he will join forces with us and others, and he will definitely be able to conquer Dongyuan City in one fell swoop." Han Dang cautiously observed Sun Ce's expression and whispered.

Fortunately, Sun Ce did not get angry this time, but frowned slightly. Squinted and thought about it.

After a while, Sun Ce shook his head slightly, raised his eyes to look at the brocade-robed man on the city tower, and muttered as if he had realized something: "Li Thief doesn't seem to be in a hurry to fight with us, otherwise they should take advantage of the situation to open the city when Ma Chao won just now." But until now they showed no sign of attacking. It seems certain that we will definitely withdraw our troops from a truce. Why is that? According to scouts, there were at least 30,000 defenders in Dongyuan City. Among them are tens of thousands of war horses. Such a strong strength is almost comparable to that of our army. But why did they refuse to fight? ”

After Cheng Pu and the three of them heard this, their faces showed doubts, and then Cheng Pu said in a low voice: "What does the young master mean 、、、、、、"

"Since Li Thief is unwilling to take the initiative to fight, then we can't let him succeed, but we have to fight him!" Sun Ce squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Ahh This 、、、" Cheng Pu and the three of them were shocked when they heard this. Huang Gai immediately became anxious, and then asked: "Didn't the young master just say that the defenders of Dongyuan City are not inferior to our army, in that case, why do you still have to fight with them?" ”

Sun Ce shook his head lightly when he heard this. The corners of his mouth turned slightly, and an unfathomable and profound smirk appeared on his face. Then he said in a cold voice: "It's still the same sentence just now, Li Thief doesn't want to fight us, we can't let him get his wish, we have to fight!" However, before the battle, I still have to meet with Li Thief, otherwise I will be unwilling! ”

"No!" Cheng Pu and the three of them stopped when they heard this, and Cheng Pu hurriedly said: "The young master is seriously injured, and he can't fight anymore, if the Li thief suddenly attacks in front of the battle, the young master is afraid that he will have to worry about his life!" As everyone knows, Li Thief is different from other princes, this thief is both civil and military, especially martial arts, it is said that he has already entered the house, among the top powerful people in the world, fierce and cunning and wise. Therefore, the meeting between the young master and Li Thief before the battle was too dangerous, and his life was in danger at any time. I beg the young master to think twice! ”

After speaking, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang bowed and bowed, as if they were in a posture of death.

"Hehehe!" Sun Ce smiled calmly and waved his hand to signal Cheng Pu and the three of them to get up, but unfortunately Cheng Pu and the three of them were stubborn and couldn't afford to kneel.

Seeing this, Sun Ce explained softly: "You think too much, you only see that Li Thief is famous, but you don't notice that the two armies are facing each other at this moment, how dare Li Thief risk the world's disapproval to attack me in front of the two armies?" If so, what kind of face will he have to lead the Xiliang army in the future? You might as well think about it, what kind of identity is Li Thief now, the dignified hussar general of the Han Dynasty, if he takes the opportunity of shouting in front of the battle to suddenly attack and kill me, wouldn't he degrade his identity and sweep away his majesty? Therefore, a figure with a head and a face like Li Thief, as long as I don't take the lead, he will definitely not make a move. There is no doubt about that, you can rest assured! ”

"This 、、、" Cheng Pu and the others were stunned when they heard this, although they were still worried, they had to admit that Sun Ce was reasonable. So they hesitated and slowly got up, and after seeing Sun Ce's absolute expression, they immediately said respectfully: "No, young master, be more careful, don't provoke Li Thief, protect your own safety is the most important!" ”

"Hmm." Sun Ce bowed his head slightly, and commanded softly: "Let the Baibo army prepare the siege ordnance, and when I return to the main formation, I will immediately launch an attack and attack the city overnight." ”

"I'm waiting for the order, please rest assured young master!" Cheng Pu and the others bowed in response.

"Drive!" With a soft call, Sun Ce once again beat his horse out of the battle and slowly walked to the front of the two armies.

"How is Meng Qi's injury, is it very strict?"

On the city tower, when Ma Chao rode into the city alone, Li Li asked Teng Xiao to go down to the city to greet Ma Chao, and when he saw Teng Xiao going and returning, he immediately asked.

Walking quickly in front of Li Li, Teng Xiao said respectfully: "Don't worry, lord. General Meng Qi was injured in his left leg, the wound was not small, but it did not hurt the bones and tendons, so he only needed to rest for a few days to be fine. Just now, the last general had ordered someone to invite him to the city guard mansion to bandage his wounds, and there were doctors sent by the Tai Academy in the palace who were responsible for diagnosing and treating the wounds, so the lord could rest assured that General Meng Qi would definitely receive the best care. ”

"That's fine." Li Li let out a long sigh and sighed: "Meng Qi is careless after all!" It's just a little bit away from being able to fight it all. It's a pity that he fell short at the last moment, and laughed too early, so that he was happy and sad. However, on the whole, he still made more merit than demerit in this battle, killed Zu Mao, severely damaged Sun Ce, and greatly boosted the morale of our army, so he should be credited! ”

"What the lord said was extremely true, and Weichen then recorded Meng Qi's military exploits." Guo Jia happily responded.

Li Li nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "There are also Gongming's military exploits recorded." This is the first major battle in the two years since our army rested, and many new generals have emerged. Therefore, the gains and losses of merit and demerit cannot be sloppy, and there must be reasonable evidence, and only in this way can the soldiers be convinced. ”

Guo Jia nodded and agreed: "Indeed, as the lord said, this battle of Sili is by no means a definite battle, and it is destined to be a protracted war." Meanwhile. In the past two years, although our army has not greatly expanded its troops and horses, it has recruited many outstanding young generals. This war is a great opportunity for them to make a difference. I believe that they will be able to shine on the battlefield next. Fight to fame! ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li smiled and said: "There are talents from all generations of the country, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years!" For an army, a hundred years is too long, seize the day; Only when outstanding young generals continue to emerge can there be competition in the army and the officers and men will not slacken. The whole army can become stronger. ”

Guo Jia replied with a surprised expression: "The lord's words are incisive, and he breaks through the mystery. The alternation of new and old generals in the army is like a wave, wave after wave, wave after wave, wave after wave. In this way, we can become stronger and stronger. On the contrary, if there are no young generals to join the army, after a long time, the army will be dull and the relationship between people will be intertwined, which will then affect military discipline and directly lead to a sharp decline in combat effectiveness. ”

Li Li smiled and bowed: "Well, what Feng Xiao said is reasonable." But the more we talk about it, the farther and farther, what should our army do now, is there a good way to be filial? ”

"The lord is talking about war or not war, right?" Guo Jia asked.

Li Li nodded lightly, smiling silently, seeing this, Guo Jia continued: "In fact, the initiative in this battle is not in our hands, but in the hands of Sun Ce. In terms of the current situation, there must be a battle today! Sun Ce's failure to withdraw his troops under the serious wound is tantamount to telling us that they are about to attack the city on a large scale.

As for how to deal with the battle, our army is based on holding on, so we will not take the initiative to attack. However, if the enemy army attacks the city on a large scale, we must adapt to the situation, and on the premise of ensuring that the city is not lost, we will dispatch cavalry to defeat Sun Ce's army in one fell swoop. ”

"Well, it's good, it seems that Feng Xian has been prepared for a long time, so I'm relieved." Li Li said.

Guo Jia smiled humbly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone in the enemy formation under the city beating his horse forward, and he was immediately stunned: "Hey, it's really weird! Sun Ce was seriously injured, and he dared to ride out alone, what did he want to do here? ”

While Guo Jia was speaking, Li Li, Teng Xiao and the others had already turned their eyes to the city, looking at Sun Ce, who slowly walked to the front of the formation.

"Where is the hussar general, can you meet with my Sun Ce in front of the battle?"

Under the gaze of Li Li and others, Sun Ce Lema looked up at Li Li on the city tower in front of the formation, and shouted loudly.

Li Li's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he was secretly surprised in his heart: "Sun Ce is injured like this, and he dares to talk to me face to face, his courage is not ordinary!" ”

Just as Li Li was thinking about it, Guo Jia was surprised: "Lord, this Sun Ce is learning to be obedient at the moment, and his tone is not as disrespectful as before, but now he actually speaks softly." It seems that he really wants to talk to the lord face to face, I wonder what he wants to say? ”

Li Li shook his head and smiled, and sighed: "Now it seems that I really shouldn't have come to watch the battle today, seeing the generals showing their skills, my heart is itching, and I can't wait to go into battle in person to kill the enemy." It's good now, Sun Ce still wants to talk to me face to face, what kind of thing is he, what qualifications does he have to talk to me?

However, if I don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, for the sake of Gongjin's face, if I don't go down to see him, it will seem that I am not close to people and arrogant. This guy is really a difficult person, knowing that I don't like him, but he wants to come up. Kill and can't kill, you can't talk about it, this is really torture! ”

Guo Jia laughed when he heard this, and said: "Since the lord doesn't want to see him, then he won't see him, so why bother with it?" Wei Chen knows that the lord is a heavy general, but there is a limit to everything. The lord Gu remembered the past friendship between Gongjin and Sun Ce, and he had already spared Sun Ce's life just now, even if he didn't meet him at this moment, it was reasonable. ”

Li Li bowed slightly: "That's what I said, but things still have to be done." I had already shown mercy to Sun Ce's subordinates before, but now if I didn't even agree to meet in the city, wouldn't it seem that I, Li Li, were narrow-minded and intolerant? Everything that should be done has been done, so why bother with this last trembling? ”

Speaking of this, Li Li smiled and said: "Yunlong is in charge of the defense of the city, Fengxiao keeps an eye on the changes in the battlefield at any time, and can mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the city at will." ”

"No, I'll obey!" Guo Jia and Teng Xiao bowed in response.

Li Li waved his hand to signal the two of them to get up, and said as he walked: "That's it, I'll go down to see Sun Ce and see what he wants to say?" ”

"My lord, be careful." Guo Jia reminded softly, and then watched Li Li take Li Zhi and a group of personal guards down to the city with all the generals.
