Half a month later, Wujun arrived at Wucheng.
Sun Ce personally led Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Chen Wu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and an army of 20,000 to attack Yan Baihu.
The army arrived at Wucheng City in great strength, and the next day they set up a formation outside the city gate. Sun Ce personally jumped on his horse to fight.
"I am Sun Ce, the general who killed the bandits and the governor of Kuaiji!"
"Listen, Yan Baihu and all your thieves, you are harming the soldiers and people, stealing the city, and causing trouble!"
"If you surrender yourself at this time, I may be able to spare your life! Once the war breaks out, I will kill you without a burial place!"
Yan Baihu stood on the city tower and looked at Sun Ce who was shouting and motivating the generals below the city, but he was not annoyed at all.
He looked like a normal person, with no trace of panic or anger on his face.
Not only Yan Baihu, but all the soldiers on the city wall were smiling and seemed not to take the 20,000 enemy troops outside the city seriously at all.
"Brother Ziyi, do you say this or me?"
Yan Baihu turned his head and asked the young scribe beside him with a smile.
The young scribe smiled and nodded: "I am a scholar and I am not good at shouting loudly."
"Captain Yan, the tiger roars and the dragon roars, of course it's up to you to answer the question!"
Yan Baihu cupped his hands: "Well, my great king, no... this captain, it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders!"
Sun Ce below the city was still shouting: "Yan Baihu, people in Wu and Yue call you the 'White Tiger King'. I think you look like a dead tiger!"
"Why, don't you even have the courage to talk to this general?"
"Ahem~"
Yan Baihu cleared his throat, then lay down on the crenel and shouted: "Is this Fuchun Sun Bofu under the city?
"Yan Hu has long admired the name of General Shikou. Brother Sun, are you okay?"
"Are you Yan Baihu?"
Sun Ce's expression changed greatly, and he immediately scolded: "You are a bandit, how dare you call me a brother?"
Although he was scolded all the time, Yan Baihu was not annoyed at all.
"General Sun, you have misunderstood!"
"Brother, I am the same as you now, but we are all court officials appointed by Duke Yuan!"
"Even if we are from the same sect, why can't we treat them as brothers of the same generation?"
Sun Ce's eyes widened: "Who do you call brother?"
"Who is from the same school as you?"
Yan Baihu said patiently: "General Sun, please listen to me!"
"The person next to me is the envoy sent by Little Yuan Gong. Little Yuan Gong, do you know how to attack?"
"You know him, the son of General Zuo, who takes the title of General Yangwei and oversees all military affairs in Yangzhou!"
"I won't mention his name, but in short, it was he who recommended me for my official position!"
When Sun Ce heard this, he already felt something was wrong.
At this time, Zhou Yu also rode forward and stood side by side with Sun Ce.
"General, hurry up and order people to attack the city. Something is wrong with this!"
Before Sun Ce could nod, he heard Yan Baihu shout again.
"Brother, I am now a captain with a rank higher than two thousand stones, the captain of Wu County!"
"Young boys, put out our new flags!"
Yan Baihu waved his hand back, and the disciples immediately tore down the colorful flags on the city wall, and quickly hung the brand-new flags high on the city tower and fluttered in the wind.
The writing on the flags is clearly visible. The largest flag has the words "Captain of Wu Commandery of the Great Han Dynasty" written on it. It is hung at the highest point on the top of the tower, which is very eye-catching!
In Sun Ce's army formation, Cheng Pu, another "Captain of Wu Commandery", turned even darker when he saw this flag.
Other flags, such as the small flag with the word "Yuan" and the general flag with the word "Yan" were also placed all over the city wall, or were held up and waved left and right.
There was even a bold thief who wore the flag on his body like an amulet and stood swaying on the crenellations of the city wall.
Sun Ce looked at the flag flying high on the tower with a gloomy expression.
He knew that the bandit in front of him, known as the "White Tiger King", was no longer the tyrant leader who once ran rampant and committed all kinds of evil in the land of Wuyue.
Instead, he was a captain with a court official position and a rank of two thousand stones, and a Han official who was inextricably linked to Yuan Shu.
The person who caused this scene was none other than the eldest son of the Yuan family - Yuan Yao and Yuan Xianneng!
"General, cut the mess with a sharp sword!"
Zhou Yu's face was equally gloomy, but it also contained a bit of ruthlessness!
Sun Ce understood what Zhou Yu meant, and after thinking for a moment, he finally nodded.
"Instruct all armies to surround the four gates of Wucheng City first, and then attack!"
"After breaking the city, no one will be left alive!"
Zhou Yu cupped his hands and turned his horse's head back to prepare for the siege.
"Brother Gongjin, do you recognize me?"
At this moment, a clear and elegant voice called out to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu turned his head and was shocked when he saw the appearance of the person who made the noise clearly.
"Jiang Ziyi? Why are you here?"
"Haha, brother Gongjin, farewell to Shouchun. Are you okay?"
Jiang Qian bowed to Zhou Yu who was at the foot of the city.
Zhou Yu was forced to return the favor.
But Zhou Yu reacted in the blink of an eye: "Jiang Gan, are you the messenger Yan Baihu said?"
Jiang Gan was not in a hurry to reply, but instead waved behind him.
"Take out the equipment the Grand Governor gave me!"
The boy behind him hurriedly took out something that looked like a funnel from the package.
Jiang Gan pointed the small end of the "funnel" at his own mouth and the big end at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who were below the city, and then spoke again.
"Haha, it's not a waste of time for us to be friends. You, Zhou Gongjin, still recognize me now!"
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I, Jiang Gan, am really afraid that I might end up being the victim of a knife without realizing it!"
Sun Ce's face darkened, and he turned to look at Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, who is this?"
Zhou Yu already regretted calling Jiang Gan's name in public.
But after all, he still couldn't pretend not to know this old friend.
"General, this man's name is Jiang Qian, whose courtesy name is Ziyi. He is a famous debater in Shouchun!"
"Jiang Gan Jiang Ziyi..."
Sun Ce read it again and seemed to feel like he had heard this name before.
By the way, it seems that Zhou Yu and Lu Fan had introduced this person to them before, but they never met him due to various reasons.
"Can this person be recruited?"
Sun Ce asked.
Zhou Yu sighed: "This person has been used by Yuan Yao, I have the right to give it a try."
"Ziyi, you are an elegant man from Huainan, why do you appear at the top of Wucheng City?"
"Could it be that you were captured by Yan Baihu and he forced you to work for him?"
Zhou Yu shouted to Jiang Gan.
"No! No!"
Jiang Gan's voice is actually very loud, but he has been running around recently and occasionally caught the wind and cold, so his voice is a bit hoarse.
But with the copper loudspeaker made specially for him by Yuan Yao, his voice was actually a bit louder than usual.
"I am now the person whom Yuan Dadu Governor represented as Danyang Princess Bo and the Governor's Mansion!"
While Jiang Gan was talking, he also took out a copper seal tied with a black ribbon and showed it to Zhou Yu.
"I came to Wucheng specifically to convey the appointment of Governor Yuan, conferring Yan Hu the title of Commander-in-Chief of Wu County and his younger brother Yan Yu, the Commander-in-Chief of Northern Kuaiji!"
Captain of the northern part of Kuaiji! ?
When Sun Ce heard this, his lungs almost exploded.
Didn’t I already appoint Rui Liang as the northern captain of Kuaiji?
Yuan Yao, what are you doing?
