Wang Lang took a look and found that the person who made the suggestion was from Yuyao, Kuaiji. His surname was Yu, his given name was Fan, and his courtesy name was Zhongxiang. He was now a county official.
However, Wang Lang did not agree, and instead angrily accused him of being meddlesome, saying: "Yan Baihu has been our friend for many years. Now that our friends are in trouble, is this how you treat them?"
Yu Fan sighed and left silently.
Wang Lang took his soldiers to join Yan Baihu, gathered his troops and horses in the wilderness of Shanyin, and formed a confrontation with Sun Ce's troops. Sun Ce stepped out and said to Wang Lang: "I am a soldier of benevolence and righteousness, and I have come to appease Zhejiang. Why are you here?" Want to help the thief?"
Wang Lang sneered and said: "Don't think that I don't know because I am greedy! You actually got Wu County and forced your way across the border. I will help the Yan family to take revenge today!"
After Sun Ce heard this, he was furious and was about to attack. Unexpectedly, Taishi Ci had come out early. Wang Lang jumped on his horse and went to fight. After fighting Taishi Ci for less than a few rounds, Wang Lang's general Zhou Xin came out to help. Huang Gai, who was in Sun Ce's formation, immediately Go out and fight Zhou Xin. As the battle continued, the drums on both sides shook loudly, and the two armies entered a stage of fierce fighting.
Suddenly, there was a chaos behind Wang Lang's formation. Someone reported that a group of men and horses were coming from behind to kill him. Wang Lang was surprised and hurried back to fight. It turned out that Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were attacking from behind with their troops and horses. Zhou Xin fought his way into the city, put away the suspension bridge, and closed the city gate tightly.
After Sun Ce's army arrived, he divided the soldiers into four city gates and attacked together.
Wang Lang saw Sun Ce's army attacking fiercely in the city. He was afraid that the city had been breached, and wanted to send out more troops to fight to the death. Yan Baihu came out and persuaded: "Sun Ce is very powerful now, and we will certainly not gain any advantage by taking the initiative." , you just need to build a deep ditch here for defense. If you can't stand out, within a month, the opponent's food and fodder will not be able to keep up, and they will naturally retreat. Then attack when he retreats and is unprepared, then you can defeat the enemy without fighting. ”
Wang Lang followed the other party's suggestion and stayed in Kuaiji City. As expected, Sun Ce attacked several times in succession but had no effect, so he called everyone together to discuss the next step.
Sun Jing suggested: "Although Wang Lang is firmly entrenched in the city, it is difficult to capture it, but most of the money and food in Kuaiji is stationed in Chadu. That place is about ten miles away from here. It is better for us to capture that place first. The so-called attack is unprepared and it takes the enemy by surprise."
Sun Ce laughed after hearing this and said: "Uncle's is really a good plan, it is enough for us to defeat the thief!"
So he ordered to set fire to each city gate, bluffed, set up suspicious troops, and actually withdrew the encirclement overnight.
Zhou Yu added: "My lord, together with the main force, Wang Lang will definitely come out to catch up, and we can use surprise troops to win."
Sun Ce said: "I'm going to give the order. The date for taking the city is tonight." Then he ordered the army and horses to start taking action.
When Wang Lang heard that Sun Ce's troops had retreated, he personally led the crowd to watch from the top of the city tower. When he saw that there were fireworks all over the city and the flags did not mean chaos, he felt a little doubtful.
Zhou Xin said: "Sun Ce has already left. He specially set up such a plan to ambush. We can send troops to sneak attack."
Yan Baihu said: "If Sun Ce leaves at this time, is he going to investigate for corruption? I will let my troops chase him!"
Wang Lang showed a solemn look and said: "Chadu is where we store grain, and we need to strengthen our defense. You can go with your troops first, and I will come to pick you up later!"
So Yan Baihu and Zhou Xin led five thousand soldiers out of the city to catch up. At the first watch, they were already more than 20 miles away from the city. Suddenly, there was a sound of drums in the forest, and torches illuminated the surrounding area as bright as white. Yan Baihu Knowing that he was being ambushed, he quickly turned his horse around and prepared to escape. Suddenly he was stopped by a general. The leader was Sun Ce.
Zhou Xin attacked with a sword, but was stabbed to death by Sun Ce with a single shot. Yan Baihu gritted his teeth and fought his way towards Yuhang. Wang Lang received intelligence and learned that the front army was ambushed, so he did not dare to enter the city again. He led his men and fled in the direction of Haiyu.
Sun Ce withdrew his army, captured the city in one fell swoop, and pacified the people.
He was about to continue chasing the remnant, but suddenly a man brought Yan Baihu's head and offered it to him. Sun Ce asked about the situation and found out that he was from Yuyao, Kuaiji. His surname was Dong, his given name was Xi, and his surname was Yuan Dynasty. He was eight feet long and had a square face and a broad mouth. , Sun Ce appointed him as Sima of another department.
In this way, the eastern states and counties were pacified. Sun Ce sent his uncle Sun Jing to guard them, and ordered Zhu Zhi to be the prefect of Wu County and withdraw his troops back to Jiangdong.
Sun Quan and Zhou Tai were guarding Xuancheng Pool. Suddenly, bandits broke out and killed them from all directions. It happened to be late at night and there was no time to resist. Zhou Tai carried young Sun Quan and mounted his horse. Dozens of bandits came with knives to chop people. , Zhou Tai was naked, holding people in one hand, and slashing with a knife in the other, killing more than ten thieves.
Then a thief came over on horseback and was about to assassinate Zhou Tai with a gun. Zhou Tai grabbed the gun with his backhand and dragged him under the horse. He fought a bloody path and rescued Sun Quan. The other thieves were afraid of Zhou Tai's power. They were so fierce that they all ran away.
However, this battle was not easy for Zhou Tai. He was shot twelve times and his wounds were bleeding profusely. He was in danger.
Sun Ce felt very anxious after hearing this. Dong Xi, his subordinate, said: "I once encountered pirates and was shot several times. I was seriously injured. Later, Yu, a wise county official in Kuaiji, recommended a doctor. After half a month, I Enough."
After hearing this, Sun Ce opened his eyes wide and said, "Is Yu Fan not Yu Zhongxiang?"
Dong Xi nodded and said, "That's him!"
Sun Ce said: "I must use such a wise man to give full play to his talents!"
So he ordered Zhang Zhao and Dong Xi to hire Yu Fan together. When Yu Fan came, Sun Ce treated him with the best etiquette, worshiped him as a meritorious official, and then asked him about medical issues.
Yu Fan said: "The doctor I recommended is from Qiaojun, Peiguo. His surname is Hua and his given name is Tuo. His character is Yuanhua. He is a miracle doctor in the world today!"
It happened that Hua Tuo was traveling in Jiangdong, so he quickly found him. Sun Ce took a look at this man. He had a childish face and bright hair. He felt that he was an unborn master. As a distinguished guest, he invited him to come and see Zhou Tai's body. The wounds have already suppurated.
Unexpectedly, after seeing it, Hua Tuo smiled and said: "This is very easy. You only need to take medicine and you will be cured in a month."
Sun Ce was very happy and thanked Hua Tuo with generous gifts.
Then he took his soldiers and horses to kill all the bandits, and the security of Jiangnan was further consolidated.
Sun Ce divided his soldiers into many groups and guarded them at various passes. While writing petitions to the court, he secretly made friends with Cao Cao and sent people to ask Yuan Shu for the jade seal.
After Yuan Shu got the jade seal, he thought about proclaiming himself emperor. This feeling became more and more intense, so he replied to the letter and found a reason to continue to shirk. At the same time, he recruited General Yang, the commander-in-chief, Zhang Xun, Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, and the general Lei. Bo, Chen Lan and more than 30 people held discussions.
