After an unknown amount of time, Huo Jun was thrown to the ground.
The intimate collision with the earth was so heavy that he woke up. When he opened his eyes, he was still a little dazed. The severe pain radiating from all over his body made him frown.
"I think this guy is commanding the enemy troops. I guess it's Huo Jun. I captured him alive by the way."
Are you going to bring me a gift after you win the battle?
Zhou Yu rolled his eyes at Sun Ce.
Sun Ce smiled, dismounted, handed the spear to his soldiers, and sat down on the grass.
"Stop pretending to be dead. Tell me, are you Huo Jun?"
Huo Jun got up and saw a bunch of guards around him looking at him eagerly, so he didn't dare to act rashly. After scanning the surroundings again, I saw two general-looking men and a white-faced scholar sitting in front, presumably the enemy leader. He hesitated and nodded.
Sun Ce half-joked with a relaxed look.
"Gong Jin, what should we do now? Should we kill him and send his head back to give Wenpin a blow?"
Zhou Gongjin?
Upon hearing Sun Ce's words, Huo Jun was so frightened that he peed his pants and quickly knelt down.
"Sir, please spare your life! If you kill this villain, your life will be worthless. If you keep it, you can defeat Wenpin's army for you!"
The three of them were stunned for a moment.
Surrendering after defeat is a common thing, but betraying others in order to save one's own life is shameful.
Taishi Ci felt contempt and sneered.
"Oh, what a big tone! How did you defeat Wenpin's army for my lord?"
Huo Jun was speechless for a while. He was just asking for mercy, so he had to think of a trick to ask such a detailed question.
Huo Jun's eyes turned around a few times and suddenly glowed with energy. He quickly knelt down in front of Sun Ce and said.
"I didn't know that Master Sun Ce would come in person, otherwise how could this villain dare to offend?"
"My lord, please listen to me. Now Wenpin and Zhang Yun have joined forces and left Maicheng and came straight to this place with great momentum. Although my lord is brave, there is still some disadvantage in terms of military strength."
"As long as you spare this villain's life, I can provide internal support for you. Although Wenpin has many soldiers and horses, the amount of food and grass he consumes is not a small amount. Your Excellency can lead his army to sneak attack the camp tomorrow night, and wait for Wenpin to rush to fight. At that time, I will lead the troops to burn Wenpin's grain and grass. When the army sees that the grain and grass are burned, there will be chaos. If you take advantage of the chaos to rush and kill, Wenpin will be defeated!"
Sun Ce narrowed his eyes and looked at Huo Jun.
"Oh, are you really surrendering to me?"
"You're not trying to deceive me. Once you escape from the Jiangdong Army camp, the world will be brighter."
Huo Jun was anxious and quickly clarified for himself.
"The villain would never dare to do this! Now that most of Jingzhou has been lost, Liu Biao's sun is setting in the west mountains, and people in the army are also panicking. The villain knows that the Han army will be defeated sooner or later, and seeing the Mingjun at this time is the time to abandon darkness and turn to the light, the villain will never dare to do anything A trace of lies.”
Sun Zhizhi was silent for a moment. Huo Jun's words made sense, but he didn't know why he didn't believe it.
However, if Huo Jun sincerely surrenders, although he does not like such villains, why not do it if he can reduce the casualties of the soldiers?
"Hehehe, why should Bo Fu be suspicious?"
"What General Huo said is true. Liu Biao's fall is not far away, and the morale of the army has long been shaken. I think as long as we destroy Wenpin's army here, many generals who are still undecided will know the general trend! General Huo can't help but It’s just that they woke up earlier than those people.”
Zhou Yu stepped forward to help Huo Jun up as he spoke, and also patted the dust off Huo Jun's body affectionately.
After hearing what Zhou Yu said, Sun Ce finally nodded. He wouldn't mind paying more benefits if it could reduce the casualties of the soldiers.
"Okay, Huo Jun, I'll spare your life. If you can really help me defeat Wenpin, and once I conquer Xiangyang, I will make you the governor of Xiangyang."
Huo Jun was flattered and said happily.
"My lord is so kind, Huo Jun is willing to die in the service of my lord!"
······
In the deep night, the autumn wind is bleak.
Outside Wenpin's military camp, a group of soldiers and horses sneaked closer.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Many arrows were shot in the dark night, killing many guards at the door in an instant.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The cold corpse fell gently, and some soldiers on night watch immediately noticed something unusual. They shouted loudly, and the whole camp felt like it was exploding.
At this time, Jiangdong's army had opened the camp gate, and a Biao army came in.
Taishi Ci took the lead, with a pair of halberds blooming like flowers, and killed more than a dozen Han soldiers one after another.
Under Tai Shici's order, Jiangdong's army lit rockets and fired at the tent, but few soldiers escaped under the fire.
Taishi Ci narrowed his eyes dangerously, revealing a cold light.
"The situation is not right, retreat!"
"General Taishi, is it too late to leave now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the shouts of killing rose to the sky in the camp, and countless Han troops rushed out from the depths of the camp with complete equipment. The leader was Huo Jun.
Taishi Ci cursed angrily.
"Huo Jun, you villain! Not only did my master not kill you, but he also allowed you the position of prefect. Your kindness is profound. Is this how you repay me?"
At this time, shouts of killing also rang out from both sides of the camp. These were the soldiers and horses of the Han army lying in ambush nearby. Just waiting for the fire to break out, the killing generals came over to surround Jiangdong's army.
Huo Jun reined in his horse and said a little apologetically.
"General Taishi, I'm sorry! As long as my lord does not surrender, I, Huo Jun, will remain loyal to the Han Dynasty for a day. Everything before was just an act. Although Master Sun Ce is generous, I, Huo Jun, may not be lucky enough to enjoy it."
Huo Jun was speaking from his heart this time, but Tai Shici was not as sarcastic as last time.
Just listen to Taishi Ci laugh and say.
"Okay! I didn't expect you to be a man!"
"In my opinion, all the Jingzhou troops are just chickens and dogs. Only Wenpin is worthy of a fight. It's not in vain that he trusts you so much and allows you to command the vanguard."
"But if you want to keep me tonight, I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"
The soldiers of Jiangdong Army had already withdrawn from the gate of the camp one after another, and only Taishi Ci led the troops to retreat.
The soldiers of the Han army had already come over from both sides, and Huo Jun was confused.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
The dense sound of breaking wind brought a scream.
"It's Jiangdong Army's repeated crossbow!"
"On the mountain."
"Damn it, Jiangdong Army was already prepared."
"Kill! Kill! Don't be afraid!"
There was a series of exclamations, yells, and commands, and the Han army's offensive that was surrounded from both sides suddenly stalled.
With a smile, Taishi Ci disappeared into the darkness beyond the reach of the lights in the camp.
Damn it! Sure enough, he didn't completely believe me.
Huo Jun was ashamed, angry, angry and annoyed, and quickly followed the soldiers in the camp to pursue him.
"Kill! Don't let Tai Shici go!"
"Whoever can behead Tai Shici will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"
Zhang Yun shouted loudly and ordered his soldiers to take the lead in the charge. Encouraged by this, the Han troops on both sides gradually rushed over despite the rain of arrows.
