Chapter 85 The River Drinking Blood

The blood flows.

A dark cloud rolled up in the sky, blocking the bloody sunset glow of the sunset.

The summer wind and thunder are pressing against each other, as if they are going to see off the dead souls on the battlefield.

After a day of fighting, the broken bodies of countless Sun Ce soldiers were trampled into mud under the horse's hooves, and the wailing sounds of the seriously injured dying soldiers were cut off again and again by the ruthless blade. The battle finally came to an end.

Zhou Tai's arms were extremely stiff. He was exhausted and could no longer lift the heavy iron axe in his hand. The war horse under his foot had already fallen to death. Behind him, the two hundred dead soldiers had been lost.

Around him, Gao Chong's soldiers were still surging forward like a tide. Zhou Tai looked back and looked at him. Behind him, the shadows of Sun Ce and Sun Quan and his party were getting farther and farther away, and they could not see clearly.

Zhou Tai sighed to the sky: "Second Young Master, Zhou Tai has passed by here!"

After saying that, Zhou Tai abandoned his axe and faced the soldiers of Gao Chongjun who were coming with difficulty. He had a regretless smile on his thick and bold face. As a general, he could die on the battlefield, and the best destination for horse and corpse was torn into a corpse.

Gao Chong looked at Zhou Tai standing alone in front of him coldly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Zhou Tai and himself were sworn brothers of the opposite sex. Unexpectedly, only three years later, the brothers would be like this when they meet again.

"Pampered handsome, I'll kill him!" Lei Xu shouted loudly.

"Wait--!" Gao Chong's voice was exhausted and powerless.

"People's son, Zhou Tai and you were once brothers who had a charity. This person is extremely brave and has the courage of thousands of men. If he dies, it would be a pity. It's better to wait for me to persuade him to surrender!" Liu Ye saw Gao Chong's inner conflict and advised him.

"When Zhou Tai killed several generals in our army, and with such a deep blood hatred, how could he surrender to our army!" Xu Shu said worriedly.

Gao Chong nodded slowly and said to Liu Ye: "Ziyang, go and tell Zhou Tai that if he is willing to surrender to me, he will be fined for all the previous grievances!"

Liu Ye responded and urged his horse to head towards Zhou Tai.

Liu Ye's sharp tongue once told Sun Ce and Gao Chong to temporarily quit the war, and Lu Su, who lived in seclusion in Linhuai, came to the scene, but at this moment he couldn't say that Zhou Tai's heart was filled with death.

After hearing Liu Ye's advice to surrender, Zhou Tai laughed a few times and said sternly: "Although Gao Chong and I are brothers, when it comes to kindness, the second young master treats me even more deeply. Tai is a rough man and still knows how to sacrifice one's life for justice."

Zhou Tai's voice was harsh and harsh. As his voice was filled with his long hiss, a lightning bolt from the sky where dark clouds pressed down vertically, hitting Zhou Tai like white refining.

In an instant, Zhou Tai's body and spirit were destroyed!

His entire huge body was burned to pieces by the lightning.

"Zhou Tai--!" Gao Chong's shouting was so weak and powerless.

The first-class general in Sun Ce's army, Hudan Zhou Tai, died. His death was so shocking. He died on the battlefield where the two armies fought, but not at the hands of the enemy. He was struck by lightning.

Zhou Tai's death ended the resistance of the remaining soldiers of Sun Ce's army on the battlefield. Faced with God's fury condemnation, everyone put down their weapons. Among these surrendered prisoners, Xiao Qiao survived the disaster and survived by chance.

She was lucky compared to those dead soldiers.

Compared with those daughters who are learning embroidery in the boudoir and longing for a happy husband, her fate is much more bumpy.

On the way back to the east, Xiao Qiao took the initiative to expose her daughter's identity. Although she escaped the slander of rumors in the army without any danger, she knew that if this matter was not clarified, Zhou Yu would be brought to the reputation of being a "twin child" for the rest of her life.

This is something that Zhou Yu, who is arrogant and cannot tolerated by Xiao Qiao.

She couldn't watch her beloved man being treated unfairly because of herself.

Fanyang is here.

Passing the Lion Seal Mountain-.

Arrive in Quacheng-.

These days, Xiao Qiao is looking forward to the early end of the long march journey. For a weak woman like her, there are too many difficulties and too many inconveniences in marching with the expedition.

The soldiers of Sun Cejun who knew her identity began to look strange. The soldiers who had been away from their hometown for a long time and struggled on the verge of life and death every day had a kind of destructive madness towards women.

What's more, this woman is so beautiful and charming.

When there was no war, Zhou Yu was guarding him. The soldiers around Xiao Qiao were thieves but not brave. But now, the two armies were fighting for Zheng Lie, and Zhou Yu could no longer take care of Xiao Qiao in the back formation.

"Little beauty, come here and let me see your little face!" A soldier with a look of appearance took the lead in attacking.

Behind him were four or five Sun Cejun soldiers with naked upper bodies and only wearing pants. They all had lewd smiles on their faces, and their eyes showed a kind of beastly ferocity.

Xiao Qiao's face turned pale. She held a short knife tightly in the palm of her hand. This knife was prepared many days ago, just to prevent accidents.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Qiao's voice was frightened and helpless.

The leader, Shi Chang, reached out and unbuttoned his pants, laughed wildly, "What are you doing? Little beauty, just do the things you do with Zhou Yu every day! What's wrong? Look at your brothers, are you vulgar? Don't worry, I'll be gentler after a while."

After saying that, he made a move and rushed to press Xiao Qiao under him.

Xiao Qiao took a few steps back in a hurry, pressed the short knife to his chest, and said with hissing: "Come here again, I'll poke it for you to show you!"

"My little lady, why do you have to commit suicide? Let your brothers play with you and so on. See how we are more suave than the handsome Zhou Lang?" A soldier of Sun Ce smiled without shame.

Xiao Qiao looked angry and said sternly: "Aren't you shameless people afraid of being punished by military law?" It's not enough that these people wanted to insult themselves, but they even slandered Zhou Yu again. This is really hateful.

The lost Shi Chang turned over and got up from the ground, and said with a grim smile: "Military law--. Bastard, now Gao Chongjun is about to come here, who cares about military discipline or military discipline? Brothers, do you think so?"

"that is!"

"With the pretty lady Fengliu for a while - I'll die later, and it's worth the rest of my life!"

"What, this peony is dead under the flower, and it's a ghost to be a wind!"

Several vicious villains talked in a verbal way, forming a circle to trap Xiao Qiao in the center.

"I'll go first--!" A thief was naked and rushed forward.

"It's not your turn, you're in the back line--." The leader, Shi Chang, tried his best to push his impatient companion straight away.

Xiao Qiao saw the ugly behavior of these people and felt sad. She knew that it was impossible to protect her daughter's innocence today.

"Gong Jin, I'll be farewell forever!" Xiao Qiao tightened his hand, and stabbed the short knife that pressed against the mouth of his heart.

"Miss Xiao Qiao, wait!" Just as Xiao Qiao was about to be humiliated, he shouted out of thin air.

When Xiao Qiao opened his eyes, he saw an army under the banner of Gao Chong's army arrived. The generals were burly and dark in their hands. The blood dripping from the sword was flowing from the evil men of Sun Ce's army who had just tried to act fiercely. They were only concerned about the quickness of the moment and did not expect that the enemy soldiers would come.

"Miss Xiao Qiao, do you still recognize me Lei Xu?" The general took off his helmet and showed a face with thick eyebrows and big eyes. On that face, he showed a sense of intimacy and easy-goingness.

Xiao Qiao's eyes lit up and she said in surprise: "Are you General Lei Xu on Baiya Mountain?"

Lei Xu blinked his eyes and smiled, "It's like a fake one to change!"

"General Lei, why are you here?" The knife in Xiao Qiao's hand "clanged" and fell to the ground. Her nerves that had been tensely collapsed finally completely relaxed.

Lei Xu smiled foolishly and said, "The coach brings us here to ambush. Sun Ce has now been defeated and fled. By the way, Miss Xiao Qiao, how could you fall into the hands of Sun Cejun?"

Facing Lei Xu's question, Xiao Qiao didn't know how to answer for a moment. The encounter and love between Zhou Yu was like a story that was so coincidental that it was too coincidental and too vulgar. How many people would believe it and how many people would understand it?

"Lei - General Lei, have you seen my sister recently?" Xiao Qiao deliberately avoided the topic and asked.

Lei Xu is straightforward, but he didn't expect that Xiao Qiao was thinking about these things. When Xiao Qiao asked about Da Qiao's news, he hurriedly said, "Oh, Miss Xiao Qiao, don't worry, your sister is in the Yuzhang Prefect's Mansion. I will report to the beloved coach later and let you sisters get together!"

This battle in Qu Achengdong was finally over after a whole day of fighting!

The remaining smoke has dissipated.

Mei Qian and Lei Xu's sudden appearance completely defeated Sun Ce's army's confidence. In the battle of great defeat, in addition to Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and other central troops broke through with Zhou Tai's blockade, Cheng Pu, Lu Fan, Sun Ling and other generals also led the remaining troops to escape. Among Sun Ce's generals, only Han Dang broke through without success and the battle was lost in the formation. Such a result was a death for him.

At the beginning of the battle, Sun Ce had more than 20,000 troops in the Western Expedition. After this, only about 5,000 remaining soldiers fled back to Wujun, and his momentum plummeted.

On Gao Chong's side, the losses were also considerable. The 4,000 Zhu Huan's army, who was responsible for blocking the enemy, could survive after the war, and the most elite Gan Ning Jinfan Army was besieged by Sun Ce's main force, nearly half of the soldiers were killed and killed 1,000 enemies and injured 800 themselves. In this battle, the two elite troops that Gao Chong relied on were defeated and lost the ability to fight again.

After extremely cruel fight, Gao Chong, like other soldiers, was exhausted and just thought about lying on the ground.

But he knew that he could not.

In the battlefield after the disaster, corpses piled up in mountains are waiting to be buried and burned. The weather in July is stuffy and hot. These dead men are the best places for mosquitoes and flies to breed, and they are the tragic players of diseases and plagues. Gao Chong, who has experienced the tragic phenomenon of Changsha City, understands the importance of timely cleaning up the battlefield.

Lu Su, Xu Shu, Liu Ye and Chen Deng were with Gao Chong.

"People's commander, some soldiers found Han Dang's body among the dead!" After this battle, Lu Su was sincerely impressed by Gao Chong's courage and ability on the battlefield. From the change in his name, Gao Chong understood Lu Su's current thoughts.

According to his original estimate, the winning rate of Gao Chong and Sun Ce in the battle should be four or six points, Gao Chong accounted for six and Sun Ce ranked four. Gao Chong, who had a slight advantage in military strength but lacked generals, was unlikely to take the initiative in the full sense. The most likely result was to defeat about half of Sun Ce's Western Expedition Army, which was about ten thousand people. Now, only more than 5,000 people could escape back.

"The favorite general is wise and powerful, and his magical plan is amazing. Deng admires him very much. Now that Sun Ce has defeated Qu'a, he has lost his troops and lost his generals. Why don't the general continue to work hard and lead his troops to Wujun and Kuaiji to pacify Jiangdong in one fell swoop!" Chen Deng said with his cuffs to cover the bloody aura that floated in.

Among the armies of Gao Chong's side, the only one that was intact was Chen Deng's Guangling Army. His 6,000 soldiers defended the rear formation of Gao Chong's army from beginning to end and did not directly participate in the battle formation.

It was Mingzhe who protected himself and preserved his strength that benefited Chen Deng's power. He jumped from the weakest side before the war to a third-party force that could compete with Gao Chong and Sun Ceyi. This result made Chen Deng feel a little proud.

Gao Chong smiled faintly and said slowly: "Su Dai, the younger brother of Su Qin, a tyrant in the Warring States Period, once had a famous story. I wonder if Brother Yuanlong had heard of it?"

Chen Deng said: "I hope to hear the details!"

Gao Chong said: "This story is like this: Su Dai passed Yishui and saw the clam coming out, and the snipe pecked at its flesh, and the clam joined and clamped it to gimmick. The snipe said: If it doesn't rain today, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, there will be a dead clam. The clam also said to the snipe: If it doesn't come out today, if it doesn't come out tomorrow, there will be a dead clam. The two are unwilling to give up each other, and the fisherman got it and captured it together."

Chen Deng's face suddenly turned red. He didn't expect Gao Chong to see through his thoughts at first sight, so he could only stammer: "Peng Zheng, Deng Zhi's goal is only in Xu Yang's two states, but the general's ambition is in the world. With the general's mind and spirit, can't he tolerate Deng's wishes?"

Gao Chong laughed and said, "Brother Yuanlong and Cao Gong from Xuchang are good. Although Cao Mengde has great talent and strategy, he has many talented and ambitious people under his command. Even if he likes each other, he may not be able to use it seriously. I have heard that my brother Tai is a man from all over the world, and he has many strategies in his heart. Why not work with Zijing for my own sake and use it for me and show his ambitions!"

Chen Deng was told by Gao Chong that the pain at the bottom of the center of the long-accumulated center. A circle of excited blush suddenly appeared on his thin cheeks. He shouted: "If the coach is worthy of it, Deng would like to drive it with what he has learned in his life!"

Gao Chong stared into Chen Deng's eyes and said seriously: "Brother Yuanlong is so serious. With his help from brother, he is flattered and adds tens of thousands of soldiers!"

"If you like the coach, you are very good. This time you can get the joining of Brother Yuanlong, our army will be like a tiger. As long as you can have a little rest, rest in time, and defeating Sun Ce is just around the corner." Liu Ye congratulated.

Lu Su also laughed and said, "When that happens, Jiangdong will not be the wish of favoring the general. It is the ambition of our heroes to achieve the Central Plains!" After that, Xu Shu, Liu Ye and others laughed, and they were tacit about each other.

With this big victory, Lu Su finally made up his mind to assist Gao Chong. For Gao Chong, the more unexpected surprise came from Chen Deng. The joining of this local gentry tyrant who were quite powerful in Xu and Yang states would undoubtedly greatly enhance Gao Chong's reputation in Jiangdong and also enable him to gain a foothold in Jiangdong as soon as possible.
