Qu'a, this place is very familiar to Zhou Tai.

Every time I come here, Zhou Tai always feels a special feeling.

Two years ago, it was here that Zhou Tai led his subordinates to join Sun Ce who had just crossed the river. It was also here that Zhou Tai and Sun Ce's biggest opponent, Gao Chong, have become brothers of the opposite sex. A person's fate is often tricked by invisible hands. It makes some people meet by chance, but then they are separated from each other, like strangers.

This is true for Zhou Tai and Gao Chong.

"Are my decision wrong at the beginning?" Because of these Jiedi whom Gao Chong met, Zhou Tai had never been reused in Sun Ce's army. Just a year and a half ago, Jiang Qin, who defected to Sun Ce at the same time, had been promoted to the lieutenant, but Zhou Tai was still a small Diannong Commander.

Several times when it was late at night, Zhou Tai would have such questions.

What seemed to be the right decision at the beginning, but at which link was wrong? Perhaps, the mistake was that you should not have met Gao Chong and should not have become sworn brothers impulsively.

Brothers——, you cannot live together but seek to die together. Where love lies, the righteousness lies. Now it seems like a pig urine bubble that breaks when blown. It looks bright, but in fact, the things inside have already changed their taste.

"Fortunately, God made me meet the second young master--" Finally one day, Zhou Tai's courage and hard work were attracted by Sun Quan, who was younger than Sun Ce. For a person like Zhou Tai, Sun Quan, who was cultivating and searching for his confidants, would certainly not miss it.

In just half a year, Zhou Tai was quickly promoted from a commander to a general, and was also a thief-defeating captain. Such treatment was unique among Sun Ce's army.

Even Chen Wu, who had outstanding military achievements and was deeply trusted by Sun Ce, took a year to get promoted to Zhou Tai's current position.

Zhou Tai knew that all this was given by one person.

He is Sun Quan.

For this reason, Zhou Tai was grateful and mournful. He knew clearly that without Sun Quan's appreciation and promotion, his current situation would not have changed much.

The second young master is the general's younger brother. Except for the general himself, no one dares to say the word "no" to the second young master.

Because in addition to gaining the trust of the general, the second prince also supported Mrs. Wu behind his back.

Over the past year, under Sun Quan's command, Zhou Tai was like a fish in water. The scholar died as a confidant. When Sun Quan showed Zhou Tai the military seal of General's general, Zhou Tai had made up his mind and swear to follow Sun Quan to the death.

In order to repay Sun Quan's favor for his understanding, Zhou Tai wore dozens of incitements in Haichang, defeated Yan Baihu Yugang and saved Sun Quan from trappings. Later, outside Moling City, he blocked Gao Chong from Sun Quan. This time, he raided Shiyin Mountain. Zhou Tai followed Sun Quan and led his troops to intercept Taishi Ci's troops in Jingshui. Although he failed to kill Taishi Ci in the end, he also wiped out Taishi Ci's troops. With this achievement, Zhou Tai was already proud.

After this battle, among the generals of Sun Ce, there were no ones who could fight Gao Chong's army several times but were undefeated except Zhou Tai. Although many people were doubtful about Zhou Tai, it could no longer affect Zhou Tai's promotion.

Regarding this, Sun Quan has made a promise to Zhou Tai that the glory of the "Breaking the Thief General" will soon fall on Zhou Tai's head, and only generals who stand alone, such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai and Zhou Yu, can have it.

As the saying goes: Failure is Xiao He, success is Xiao He.

A meeting with Gao Chong brought Zhou Tai, in addition to the adverse effects, there was also favorable news.

And this was all achieved by Zhou Tai with his blood and life.

On the road to his own promotion, no one can stop Zhou Tai's footsteps. No matter who blocks the way, Zhou Tai will kick away without hesitation.

After defeating Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai was full of confidence. The last shadow that Gao Chong left in his heart two years ago was also wiped out. The rest was nothing but all the arrogance of Bi Ni.

Gao Chong——, this brother he met in a hurry, will become the biggest stepping stone for Zhou Tai to establish military achievements.

What is brother? Brother is when I need it, and I am a stone under my feet. When I think about this, Zhou Tai felt a sense of cruel pleasure that could not be described.

Others cannot defeat you, I, Zhou Taineng.

Others are not your opponent, only Zhou Tai, the whole teacher comes in and out.

People's encounters often become different because of a different point. Gao Chong and Zhou Tai, the two brothers of the opposite sex who met in a hurry, parted ways from then on and became enemies of each other because of the different decisions.

"General, we will arrive at Qu'a twenty miles ahead. The brothers are exhausted from traveling for several days and nights. Should we take a break before leaving?" The army conquered the army, who was exploring the road, was Zhou Tai's companion when he was Jiang Kou. He kicked his toes and jumped quickly across several feet away, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived on Zhou Tai's ship.

Zhou Tai withdrew his chaotic thoughts, looked solemn, and said loudly: "No, order the troops not to delay. Quickly, and when you get slower, you will go down the river to feed the fish!"

Zhou Tai's urging was not unreasonable. Just an hour ago, Sun Quan sent a scout to deliver a letter, saying that the general of Gao Chong's army, Zhu Huan, was on the way to Qu'a. If he was slow and asked Zhu Huan to take down Qu'a City first, then the tens of thousands of troops of Sun Ce during the Western Expedition would be cut off from ties with Wujun and Kuaiji. There would be no other team in the reinforcements of Qu'a's troops except himself. Zhou Tai knew the importance of this battle.

The consequences of Qu Aruofa are unthinkable.

Quacheng is located at the mouth of the intersection of the two rivers. The rivers in the Jiangdong area are crisscrossed. People are always traveling by boats, and cities are usually mostly built by rivers. At first, it was just a small market for ships to rest temporarily. Later, with the increase of ships coming and going, it gradually developed into a city.

Of course, there will be prosperity and decline.

Because of its small scale and strong dependence, this kind of market that relies on rivers is small, its rise and decline are often only for one reason, whether it is the change of rivers, population displacement, or the raging war.

The road from Moling to Qua is parallel to the river. This is the usual road pattern in the Jiangdong area. The land reeds rely on rivers and serve as auxiliary tools most of the time. In summer, the lush reeds are green and green, growing upwards. When footsteps are heard, one or two wild ducks flew up from time to time, and they are roaring and sank into the farther bark.

Zhu Huan's soldiers pointed at the surrounding scenery excitedly and kept talking. For these soldiers living in Jiangbei, Jiangnan was a completely unique place, but Zhu Huan was different. What he felt was another feeling of missing his hometown. Everything in front of him was familiar to him. In his hometown Wujun, the river bay was definitely much more than Qu'A's, and the scenery was even more charming.

When a person has something to do in his heart, he is often the most careless.

Zhu Huan, who was immersed in the scenery of Jiangnan, could see the wild ducks flying in shock, but did not find the heavy murderous aura hidden deep in the reeds.

By the time he was shocked, it was too late.

"Dong, dong-dong." The rapid drum sound spread throughout the corners of the river. The short and powerful drumstick sound is so unique. This is a fishing drum used by thieves and bandits in the river.

The drum sounded abruptly, and several warships sailed out of the reeds around the river. Each ship had five or six Sun Ce soldiers holding weapons. Six of them were fucked, and six of them met the enemy. The warships cooperated quite skillfully. The soldiers on the ship shouted, waved the weapons in their hands and quickly surrounded Zhu Huan's army.

"It's Zhou Tai!" Zhu Huan was shocked.

If Jiang Qin is not here, the other lieutenant generals of Sun Ce's army will not be so familiar with water warfare. Only Zhou Tai, who was born in a thief, could come up with the idea of ​​encircling and annihilation of water.

"Yes, it's me here." In the panic of Zhu Huan's soldiers, Zhou Tai, who had a whisper on his face and had a tummy chest and a pair of big axes, rode a scout boat, and rushed out of the river.

After all, the news about Gao Chong is still one step late.

Zhou Tai, who was working day and night to reinforce, took the lead to Qu'a before Zhu Huan, and had already set up a formation and guarded the Heban intersection and waited for Zhu Huan's army to appear.

The Zhu Huan army attacked Qua with a total of 6,000 troops, which was nearly three times more than the Zhou Tai army. However, the Zhu Huan army, which had added a large number of new soldiers in Jiangbei, was unfamiliar with the water war.

The huge waves crossing the river and the shadows of the surging seas remained in the hearts of these new soldiers. Facing the Zhou Tai army soldiers who were freely coming and going on the river, the Zhu Huan army soldiers who were not familiar with water wars were already timid before fighting. The five hundred pioneer soldiers walking in front were intercepted by Zhou Tai and were trapped on the other side of the river and could not advance or retreat.

"Tell the troops to move closer to the central army, and do not attack rashly!" Zhu Huan shouted anxiously. When individual soldiers are weaker than their opponents, it is the best way to embrace a group and rely on the overall strength to fight.

Zhu Huan understood that Zhou Tai came prepared. Although the enemy's troops were much smaller than himself, most of these people were bandits who followed Zhou Tai to plunder the Yangtze River. The ability to fight in the water was unmatched. Zhu Huan's army had only a lot of land skills, but could not show it.

Under Zhou Tai's continuous attack, the five hundred soldiers of Zhu Huan's front army, who had been struggling to support him, were wiped out in just a moment. Nearly 5,000 Zhu Huan's army stranded behind were besieged on a high ground in the river, unable to advance or retreat.

The Zhou Tai army's attack continued. The Zhou Tai army warships on the flat ground kept shouting, sending the Zhu Huan army soldiers on the outermost side to the west one by one. Many new soldiers who couldn't help trying to break through the siege, but were quickly caught up by the Zhou Tai army's scout ship. Soon the bodies were thrown into the river. The bright red blood stained the water surface red, and then the sunset glow in the sky. This tragic feeling was like a sharp knife stabbing into Zhu Huan's chest.

After a day of fierce battle, from morning to sunset, Zhu Huan's army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, but Zhou Tai army suffered less than 100 losses.

Since leading the army, Zhu Huan has never had such a defeat!

Zhu Huan paused his feet and sighed. Seeing that the war was not good, he had no choice but to shout frequently: "Don't panic, come together quickly."

When the army was in desperate situation, Zhou Tai had surrounded the place tightly, and it was almost impossible to stand out.

Just when Zhu Huan was desperate, he suddenly saw the back formation of Zhou Tai's army was in chaos. The rampant warship was knocked over and overturned. An army was coming quickly.

"It's General Gan Ning coming!" a sharp-eyed soldier shouted.

When Zhu Huan heard this, he was very energetic and quickly gathered his eyes to look at the sound of killing. He saw a beautiful battle flag dancing under the afterglow of the sunset.

"Ganning is here, don't panic!" Zhan Qi was wearing a brocade robe and soft armor. The majestic Gan Ning pulled his bow like a full moon, and a white feathered arrow shot out "swoosh--".

With a sound of "Bang-!", the battle flag on Zhou Tai's ship suddenly broke, and the falling flag fell into the river obliquely. After a few ups and downs, there was no trace.

Seeing Gan Ning's magical skills, Zhu Huan's soldiers in difficulties were cheering and their morale was shocked again.

Zhou Tai, who was commanding the encirclement and annihilation, had a big change in his face. It was not a good sign to break the flag. Zhou Tai had heard of Gan Ning's courage, but he did not expect that Gan Ning would change the direction of the battle as soon as he appeared.

Zhou Tai, who was in a good situation, is now facing Gan Ning. Zhu Huan's two-sided attack is different from Zhu Huan's army's inexperience in water wars. There is no need to question the ability of the Jinfan Army, which traverses the Yangtze River.

In just half an hour, more than 100 soldiers left by Zhou Tai in the back formation were lost. If he continued to fight, he would probably not be the enemy, but himself.

"Retreat—!" Zhou Tai ordered unwillingly.

Since the ambush was fruitless, it is necessary to choose to retreat wisely. Fortunately, he still has a hand and can retreat to Qu'a City to wait for Sun Quan's reinforcements. According to the pre-plan, Sun Quan's reinforcements should have arrived at Qu'a at this time. It is a bit unhappy for Zhou Tai to win over Zhu Huan's army without completely annihilated, but he can also hand in the office to Sun Quan.

Gan Ning, who rescued Zhu Huan, did not pursue it. It was not that he did not want to chase it, but that he could not pursue it. The terrain of Zhou Tai's soldiers was familiar with the terrain. After hearing the order to retreat, they scattered into the reeds. It was quite difficult to encircle and annihilate it. Moreover, Zhu Huan's army suffered heavy casualties and was unable to protect themselves, so they urgently needed the protection of the Gan Ning army.

"Xu Mu, are you injured?" Gan Ning said with concern.

Zhu Huan looked miserable and sighed: "Thank you for your concern. Huan was not injured in this miserable defeat in this battle, but his heart was hurt!"
