At the sunset, the dots of phosphorescence reflected the river water dazzlingly. Although this secret talk with Xu Wuming was a shameful conspiracy for Gao Chong, the benefits it brought were obvious.

Faced with the situation where Sun Ce and Lu Bu were attacked on each other, Gao Chong's first choice was to concentrate superior forces and defeat one first. Lu Bu's purpose was to occupy the two Huaihe Rivers and dominate Xu Si. Sun Ce's intention was to make a comeback and drive Gao Chong back to Yuzhang, which was blocked from the mountains. If possible, it would be better to let Gao Chong die like Yuan Shu.

When the two phases are weighed, which one is more important, you will naturally find out.

In Huainan, Huang Zhong, after he was defeated by the last little family fortune of General Yuan Shu in the retreat, retreated to Xiaoyaojin to defend. Here, there was Hefei City built by Liu Fu that could be relied on and defended, and it was very close to Chaohu Lake. The navy could directly drive from the Yangtze River to provide water to reinforce. It was not easy for Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to capture it.

Moreover, after the army occupied the empty Shouchun and the De, Lu Bu's army suddenly ate such a large piece of land. It was not easy to defend a few big cities with only three thousand troops, let alone invading the south.

On the Jiangdong side, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu used their main force to restrain Lu Xun's army, and on the other hand, they sent out generals with rich combat experience such as Huang Gai, Lu Fan, and Ling Cao to attack Lu Xun's army from multiple routes. It was mid-September, and there was still half a month before the harvest of rice in early October. When it was about to ripen and not ripen, they would be cut and harvested. This was the most vicious and effective move. Once the supply of military rations was insufficient, the morale of the army would be depressed and failure would be irreversible.

Faced with Sun Ce's provocation, Gao Chong was naturally unwilling to passively defend. Ganning's Jinfan Army had already driven into Taihu Lake from the Yangtze River and penetrated into Wuxing, Wucheng, and Hushu. Jiangnanzhong, which has always been named a land of fish and rice, fell into the chaos of Wu and Chu's battle for hegemony.

There is never one most sharp fist. No matter which side is hit, there is no chance of turning the tables. Therefore, a slight mistake will lead to changes in the entire battle situation.

Fengqiao, the port connecting the soil with Taihu Lake, has now become a transit station connecting the front and rear of Sun Ce's army. The supplies collected from Wujun and Kuaiji are transferred here to the front line of Shentingling, where Sun Ce's elites are stationed - more than 23,000 Jiangdong warriors.

In view of the continuous in-depth harassment of the Ganning Jin Sailing Fleet and the importance of Fengqiao, Sun Ce set up the central army at Fengqiao as a guard.

The fishing fires reflected the bright moonlight, dividing the plains of the river into small depressions. Sun Ce took off his heavy armor, changed into red brocade robe, and walked out of the tent with a relaxed smile.

Just now, the spy sent to Moling brought back good news. Gao Chong had the leisure to visit Sheshan at the critical moment of the battle between the two armies. Judging from the signs of the enemy's army mobilization, the Ganning Army has recently reduced its harassment on the lakeside area, and seems to have the intention to return to Moling. It is estimated that it is to reinforce Huainan. In this case, the pressure on the Shentingling battlefield will be greatly reduced.

"Come here, prepare for my horse!" Sun Ce looked up at the night, in high spirits.

In the hazy state, a man came barefoot on the moonlight, holding a half-air wine jar in his hand, singing while walking, saying, "I heard the music of Yanling, and saw my governance of the Book of Changes; I saw the more light of the carvings and moistness, and I knew the beauty of the southeast!"

Sun Ce looked at the gods and found that it was Gongcao Yu Fan, whose courtesy name was Zhongxiang, and he belonged to Yuyao, Kuaiji County. Wang Lang, the former prefect of Kuaiji, appointed him as Gongcao. When Sun Ce conquered Kuaiji, Yu Fan happened to be his father died and was at home. After hearing that Sun Ce brought troops to attack, Yu Fan immediately took off his filial piety clothes and went to see Wang Lang, and persuaded him to avoid Sun Ce. Wang Lang refused to accept it, but was defeated by Sun Ce in Chadu and was defeated on the sea. Later, Wang Lang surrendered. Sun Ce heard that Yu Fan was named and appointed Gongcao again.

However, Yu Fan was crazy and unrestrained, and was the most unfaithful villain. After returning to Sun Ce, he only met Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, and wrote a book called "Yi Shu". His talent was praised by Kong Rong from Beihai.

"Where is the Ming Mansion going?" Seeing Sun Ce from afar, Yu rolled his eyes and looked at the empty wine jar and asked.

Sun Ce showed his sword eyebrows and laughed with the reins of the horse, "It's time to go hunting in autumn. Does Zhongxiang want to go with him?"

After hearing this, Yu Fan suddenly restrained his smile and was unrestrained, and Zhengrong advised: "Since the crossing of the river, the Ming Mansion has appointed the talented people who have just gathered and the warriors who have been scattered can get their help. Even Emperor Gaozu cannot compare. The Ming Mansion likes to travel in a condom. If the officials around him do not advise, they will suffer in person. The ancients said: If a monarch does not pay attention to his words and deeds, he will not be able to establish prestige. This is because the dragon fish is good at swimming, but is trapped in the low hills, and the white snake is good at hiding, but is beheaded in the prefecture. I hope the Ming Mansion will pay more attention."

After hearing this, Sun Ce leaned over and smiled, "Zhongxiang's words are reasonable, but he always thinks and gains from his actions. Compared to sitting alone without joy, I prefer to feel everything in the galloping wind. Only in this way can my mind be more clear-headed. This is the reason why I travel. The moonlight tonight is seductive, and it is an excellent hunting season. Why is Zhongxiang different from going there?"

Seeing that Sun Ce's determination could not be dispelled, Yu Fan sighed and said, "I have been drinking for a long time, and I am not good at riding and shooting. Please forgive me for the Ming Mansion!"

Sun Ce laughed and urged the war horses, galloping past Yu Feng like the wind, leaving only one sentence: "Zhongxiang is waiting. When I return to the camp, I will send one and two wild game to you!"

Yu Fan stood blankly at the entrance of the camp. In a blink of an eye, Sun Ce and his party disappeared into the night. Yu Fan threw the wine jar on the ground with a resentful look and sighed: "Ming Mansion knows it is impossible, why do you insist on doing it?"

On the shore of Taihu Lake, reflected by the bright moonlight, clusters of reeds covered the road tightly, leaving only a small path that was bent down. With a "swoosh--" sound, the wild ducks, disturbed by the sound of horse hooves, flapped their wings and flew up and down, rolled up and down a few times, and then suddenly fell to a farther place.

While urging the horse to fight, Sun Ce set his bow and arrows to aim at the egrets that were startled on both sides, and unknowingly, he had already distanced himself from his followers behind him.

There was a "single" sound in the reeds. Someone was approaching, but Sun Ce was still immersed in the joy of hunting, thinking that he was following him, and he didn't realize that the danger was slowly approaching.

The night wind danced with the reed heads, bringing a heavier and heavier chill. In a few days, it should be winter. Sun Ce felt a little sigh inexplicably.

"Who is it?" Suddenly, Sun Ce felt a sudden arrival, with a strong and stern murderous aura as it was.

Three black shadows appeared faintly, and from the figure, they were one tall and two short. All three were hanging swords on their waists and holding bent bows. One of them had an arrow in his hand that had been on the bowstring.

"We are a soldier from Sun Quan's army, and we are here just to hunt and shoot!" The man in the middle was stunned when he saw Sun Ce riding alone and facing him proudly.

After hearing this, Sun Ce held the bow and shouted: "How could I not recognize Zhongmou's soldiers? How could you hide your lies?"

"We were originally Han Dang's old subordinates, and Han Dang's rear defeated him-!" A short man in the left hand spoke in a Wu accent and sneered in a cold and cold manner.

Seeing that Sun Ce was already suspicious, the three black shadows separated from the left and right in a semi-fan shape, surrounded Sun Ce from the left, middle and right directions. The bent bow in his hand was placed in the most suitable position for attack, and it was obvious that the cooperation was quite skillful.

Only killers who are accustomed to secret assassination will have such tacit understanding. In the continuous assassination practice, they have become accustomed to finding the best opportunity and defeating the enemy in one fell swoop.

Now, each of them had steam on their heads, and their eyes were filled with nervousness and eager expectations. Being able to assassinate Sun Ce, who is famous all over the world, is absolutely not to be missed for a killer, not to mention the family feud of the benefactor Xu Gong.

Before the man could finish his words, Sun Ce's hands were thrust into his hands, and the tightly collapsed bowstring was loosened, and a sharp arrow flew out quickly, heading towards the enemy's throat. In just two or three sentences of these three people, Sun Ce had already noticed the danger.

Sun Ce shot the arrow without any signs. While the arrow was shot, there was almost no movement on Sun Ce's shoulder. The short man obviously did not expect Sun Ce to be so keen. He bent his bow in his hand but had no strength at all. He had to rush to abandon the bow and take the sword while bent over and dodge.

But there is no way to escape this haste!

"Bor—!" The short man cried out with a bitter cry, fell to the ground on his back, and the arrow penetrated his forehead. The powerful force shot through the hard skull. The tip of the arrow protruded from the back of the head, covered with viscous blood-red brain matter.

"Sun Lang's bow and arrow are not only used to shoot deer!" When an arrow was shot, Sun Ce burst into tears.

When the rest of the two saw Sun Ce's efforts, they knew that their identity had been completely exposed. When they saw him shooting his companion in just one time, they were even more frightened. After all, Sun Ce's reputation is very famous, and it would be extremely difficult to kill if they do not conduct a raid.

In desperation, the two of them hurriedly raised their bows and shot them randomly. It was a coincidence that Sun Ce was proud of his defense and was shot in the cheek by a tall man. Blood suddenly burst out. It was supposed to be salty blood, but at this time there was another strange smell.

"Rats, you actually use poison!" Sun Ce wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, his expression shrill and terrifying, and his handsome face suddenly showed blue veins due to anger.

The tall man saw Sun Ce drinking blood and said ecstaticly: "Yes, my arrow has been quenched with a highly remedyable poison. This poison was prepared by the young master of my family. No matter how many poisons are collected, the gods of Daluo cannot be solved. Sun Ce--, we will use your life to taste the undead who died unjustly by more than a hundred unjustly!"

"What's so afraid of death! Sun is owing the soul under the sword, so you and the two of you will make up for the vacancies!" Before he could finish his complacency, Sun Ce had already jumped off the horse and rushed straight with the ancient sword. His eyes were bloodshot and red, and his voice was hoarse and powerful.

When the two assassins saw that Sun Ce was poisoned, they were not afraid of anything, and their faces changed drastically. There have been many brave men in ancient times, but there are very few who know death like Sun Ce but are not afraid of it after all.

In a blink of an eye, Sun Ce's body was like an eagle spreading its wings. A few steps were approaching. Gu Bao's sword did not stop at all. He slashed down. The tall assassin was shocked and drew his sword to meet him. But with the lightness of the sword, how could he block Sun Ce's attack with all his strength? After the "clang!", the sword was broken into two pieces, but Gu Bao's sword still remained undiminished.

Seeing that his companion was about to die, the remaining assassin, Knowing that Ruo hesitated, both of them would lose their lives, so he quickly stabbed Sun Ce behind the back with a sword. This move was a must-have to attack the enemy. If Sun Ce ignored the enemy behind him, he could indeed split the tall assassin into two pieces, but he would not be able to escape the attack behind him.

"Good come!" Sun Ce shouted loudly, and the sword suddenly slashed across a Yuangu, and drilled out from under the ribs. In the future, the sword was blocked. Then Sun Ce borrowed this force and pushed the Gu Tianjian and cut it flat at the hand of the short assassin holding the sword. Although this sword seemed simple, the temperature was not wrong at all.

By fighting against two, Sun Ce knew that he had no way out except to fight for his life.

Only by defeating your opponent before the poison is released can you win time.

If nothing unexpected happens, the follower will soon search here. As long as it lasts until that time, everything will end.

"Give up the sword quickly!" The tall assassin shouted loudly, and at the same time, his hands were penetrated, and the broken sword was broken into several pieces and flew towards Sun Ce.

Facing the blade cut by Sun Ce, the short assassin hesitated for a moment, and one of his right arm had been cut down at the same time, and he flew out diagonally with blood dripping. The short assassin screamed and his body twitched. The strong dizziness had completely lost his hope of fighting.

"Go to die!" He had missed an opportunity just now. Now Sun Ce decided to deal with one of them first. He twisted his hands and Gu Baojian quickly spiraled forward.

The short assassin groaned, and the long sword had penetrated deep into his right rib and then penetrated out of his back.

As the blood splattered, Sun Ce quickly put away his knife and passed by the corpse that was about to fall.

At this moment, the broken sword behind him had already attacked. Sun Ce twisted his body hard and finally avoided the fragments attacking his back and neck, but he could no longer avoid the last piece.

Suddenly, a cold sensation on the right flank, followed by a burning pain. Sun Ce knew that the injury at this place had affected the suppressed poisonous wound, and he had to take advantage of the last little effort to kill the enemy, otherwise—.

However, his hands could no longer use any force, and his eyes could not be opened.

The tall assassin approached step by step with a grin.

The little bully is not worth worrying about.

When the sword fell, Sun Ce raised his head. At this critical moment of life and death, a flying meteor as bright as glass flew across the sky.

The meteor is like tears, crystal clear and flawless, emitting beautiful light, and drew a long silver line in the dreamy starry sky.
