I felt aroused in my heart. I was really ashamed to take Xu Shao so seriously. Perhaps after experiencing the days of wandering from Runan to Qua, Xu Shao has always been good to us ordinary soldiers than the contemptuous attitudes expressed by Zhang Ying and others who dominate Qua.

Just for this point, I would be grateful to Xu Shao for his words whether they were sincere or had other intentions.

When the battle of Likou left a deep impression on me, Sun Ce's soldiers rushed forward one by one, and the arrows in front fell down, and the eyes behind them rushed up without blinking. In a short while, the arrows in our archer's bag were exhausted.

In the following hand-to-hand combat, the gap in combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides was more obvious. Sometimes, a team of soldiers besieged three or four enemy soldiers, and they could still gain the upper hand at first, but soon, our new soldiers began to show that they lacked experience on the battlefield, while the enemy could support each other based on an orderly formation of advance and retreat. Our number of people became smaller and smaller, and the one who was defeated was the one with the dominant number.

If you fight against the enemy head-on, you will only lose a lot. Maybe you should avoid the edge and let Xue Li and Zurong fight to the death with Sun Ce first. But in this case, once Xue Li and Zurong in Moling are defeated, we will be even more isolated and helpless.

Thinking of this, I rushed out: "Mr. Xu, the ancient military strategy says: All troops avoid the enemy, the left will not blame, and there is no abnormality. Perhaps the best way to preserve their strength and retreat to avoid the strength."

Xu Shao was stunned for a moment, with a thoughtful expression, and then muttered to himself: "Are you talking about Qi Shouqu?"

I nodded and said, "Mr. Xu, Xu Rong, Xue Li is not a reliable and solid ally. The Qu'a area is flat and there is no danger to defend. It is better for us to retreat eastward. Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, and Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji, are more reliable than Xue Lilai."

As I said this, I arrived at the door of Xu Shao’s house. I was about to say goodbye, but I heard Xu Shao say to the slave at the door: "Tell the lady: If a guest is coming, please ask the maid to clean the wing room on the left."

Xu Shao’s home is not as luxurious as I imagined. Entering from the main entrance is a square courtyard. There is a towering ancient tree in the middle of the courtyard. The umbrella covers with branches and crossed branches are spread out on all sides, falling leaves are falling down, rendering the bluestone ground into a golden piece. Further back is the main hall. In the small hall, there are several ink treasures written by Xu Shao, which are hanged in the small hall, exuding the fragrance of books. Later, there is the inner hall where the family lives.

This is a typical Jiangnan Mitsui Three-Discovery courtyard. It is not special to ordinary people. It is incomparable to the luxury of Zhang Ying's mansion. The furnishings in the wing room are also very simple. In addition to the large bed in the center, they are all essential living tools.

Seeing the bed, a feeling of extreme fatigue began to constantly impact my mind. Apart from sleeping, I could no longer concentrate on thinking about anything else. I calculated carefully that it had been three hours since I entered Qu'acheng. I had quit Xu Shao, ate a few bites of the food brought by the servants, and fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, after Xu Shao's introduction, I was filled with the vacancies in Chen Heng's army. Since there were many new soldiers, I, a veteran who had saved his life on the battlefield, had a place to use my skills. I was appointed by Chen Heng immediately. Although I still sounded like an official, my treatment was not much different from that of a small soldier.

According to the Han army, there is a five-level organizational system in the army. The department is the highest-level organization in the army. The department is the chief officer called the lieutenant, which is more than 2,000 stones. When going to fight, he is directly commanded by the general of the army. Qu belongs to the department, and the chief officer is called the Junhou, which is more than 600 stones. The trunk is set up, which is more than 200 stones. The team is set up, which is more than 100 stones. The trunk is the most basic organization in the army. Neither the trunk nor the trunk commander has corresponding salary.

Perhaps Xu Shao's advice played a role. Zu Rong and Xue Li sent envoys to ask for help three times, but Liu Yao did not issue an order to reinforce Moling, but at the same time, he did not seem to give up Qu A's intention. In this hesitation, the situation of the battle had undergone irreversible changes.

In November of the second year of Xingping, Han Dynasty, Sun Ce's troops entered Moling. At this time, Xue Li occupied Moling City, and the troops stationed in the south of the county. The two armies formed a horn and supported each other. Sun Ce sent the general Cheng Pu to attack the Grand Camp of Zurong. He beheaded more than 500 levels in one battle. Zurong was so scared that he could only deep ditches and high bases to prevent Sun Ce. Fortunately, the terrain of the stationed troops was dangerous and solid, and with the preparation of Shan Guard, Sun Ce could not capture it for a while.

At the same time, Zhou Yu led a newly-organized naval army to block the river surface, prevent Shu Rong from harassing him from later generations, and isolated Xue Li and Shu Rong's connection.

Three days later, Sun Ce abandoned Zuo Rong and led his army to cross the river to attack Moling. Sun Ce personally went to the moat and ordered Xue Li to surrender. Xue Li's subordinate general saw it clearly in the city and secretly fired a cold arrow. Sun Ce turned over and fell off the horse. Cheng Pu and other generals rescued him, withdrew their troops and pulled out the arrows, and used golden sore medicine to nourish him.

In order to confuse the enemy in the city, Sun Ce ordered the army to pretend that the chief general was shot and died. The army was mourning. The camp was drawn and raised. When Xue Li heard that Sun Ce was dead, he was overjoyed. So he and the general Yu Zui left the city. When they were about to hurry, they suddenly ambushes. Sun Ce took the lead and shouted loudly: "Sun Lang is here."

Xue Li was shocked to see that Sun Ce was not dead. He was in a panic and did not distinguish the path. He abandoned his army and fled in panic. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yu Zunzhe wanted to pull his horse back to the city. Jiang Qin had already seen it clearly. Zhang Gong shot him to death with an arrow. When the horses of the Moling army were all killed, they all turned against each other. Since then, when the soldiers in Jiangdong heard that Sun Lang's troops arrived, no one dared to take the lead.

From the time of receiving this news, Qu Acheng fell into chaos. The people in the city had already packed their luggage, but they still stayed in the city with the last glimmer of hope. This time, the fall of Moling strengthened their determination to escape.

There were almost no one else on the street except for us guarding soldiers who were patrolling the patrol.

A team of soldiers passed by us. The generals led by the team were tall and big, with large beards almost covered with the whole face. A pair of circular eyes protruded into the eye sockets, revealing their delicateness and fierceness. I looked up and saw that it was General Chen Heng.

"Gao Chong, go back to the military camp and tell me that the whole army will retreat to Shenting Ridge!" Chen Heng tied the horse's reins and shouted to me.

Liu Yao finally made up his mind. Shentingling Ridge, which is affiliated with Danyang County, borders Wu County in the east and Taihu Lake in the south. The mountains are undulating and stretching for thousands of miles, shaking the key points of east-west travel. Liu Yao decided to station troops here, hoping that the dangerous terrain would resist Sun Ce's aggressive offensive, so as to gain a chance to breathe for long-term persistence.

As long as Sun Ce's thunder-like advancement can be delayed and one or two victories can be won, the morale of the soldiers in the army can be restored. At the same time, Liu Yao can rely on the identity of "Governor of Yangzhou" to order Wujun, Kuaiji and other separatist forces to raise troops to reinforce. The rabbit dies and foxes are sad. Facing Sun Ce's unstoppable offensive, if powerful men such as Wang Lang, Xu Gong, Yan Baihu can unite, for Sun Ce, who is still not yet firmly established, he will face the dilemma of being attacked from all sides.

On November 20, the second year of Xingping, Sun Ce led a large army to camp in the north of Shentingling Ridge, corresponding to Liu Yao's camp in Lingnan. This battle at Shenting Ridge was a critical battle for Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong. If he could win the battle, he would not only completely defeat Liu Yao's power, but also lay the foundation for the future pacification of Wu County and Kuaiji.

This battle is not for a long time, but should be aimed at a quick battle.

The two armies have been in battle for many days, and they will win and lose each other when they go out.

From the mountain, I looked at the Sun Ce military camp in the north of the ridge. I saw flags and flags waving, with orderly main and secondary, uniform military appearance, tight guards, and strict guards in each camp. This is the style of a kingly army. I saw it and thought to myself: Those who command soldiers should be clear about the rules and regulations, and the laws should be the same, and they should share the same joys and sorrows, and they should be rewarded with the heroes, and they should be a perfect person. Sun Ce's military management can be said to have obtained the essence of Sun Wu's military strategy.

Looking back at our army, from Hengjiangjin, when Likou was defeated, the morale of the entire army was depressed. The soldiers in the patrol camp were tilted and their weapons were lifted upside down. They lowered their heads and were lazy and lifeless. The generals were listless and ready to escape at any time. Even Zhang Ying, Chen Heng and other generals in front of the tent were also in pain. How could they win this battle?

On the morning, I was patrolling the camp, and suddenly I saw a pegasus riding at the gate of the camp. Before I arrived in front of the camp, I jumped off my horse and ran towards the main tent. I saw that the detective looked urgent on his face, and knew that something must have happened. I was busy preparing to capture the horse and wait for the drum to fight.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Ying and Chen Heng rushed to come and discussed matters in Liu Yao's tent, but they had not heard the order to fight for a long time. I was puzzled when I suddenly saw a general running out of the tent, shouting at the pawns leading the horse while running, jumping into a gun and getting on the horse, shouting loudly: "Sun Ce's son is on the ridge. Those with courage, follow me!"

Behind him, Zhang Ying and Chen Heng followed him out, but no one answered. I saw that this man was more than seven feet long, with beautiful beards and beards, tiger-backed and ape-armed arms, as if he had the power to open a mountain. There was a sky-breaking bow on his waist, and Diao Xu was inserted into the quiver. Just looking at this momentum was impressed by it.

At this time, a young man next to me whispered: "Sun Ce Zhi, if you dare to lead more than ten horses to the ridge, you must have set up a net of heaven and earth. Taishi Ci is brave but not resourceful. He may not be able to come back here. Who will go with him even though he knows he is going to die?"

It turns out that this person is Taishi Ci. He is indeed a strong man. He deserves to be praised by the number one brave general in Jiangdong. I secretly praised it in my heart.

In the past, Guan Hai surrounded Beihai, and Taishi Ci whipped the horse and broke through to Liu Bei in the plain. He said, "Ci, a man from Donglai, is not close to Kong Beihai, but is not a fellow villager, and is not a relative of the country. He is especially famous and ambition, and has the meaning of sharing disasters and sharing disasters. Now Guan Hai is in chaos, Beihai is surrounded, lonely and helpless, and is in danger. In the name of benevolence and righteousness, he can save people urgently. Therefore, Beihai is alone, and he is leaning on his neck and relentless, so that Ci can break through the heavy siege and entrusting himself to the king from the deaths. Only the king can keep it."

Such a wise and brave general, Liu Yao said, "If I use it, I will not laugh at me for being evil?" It is really sad and lamentable that I don't use it for this reason.

In fact, there are more than Taishi Ci. I asked myself about martial arts and courage. Compared with generals like Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, they are not much worse, but now they can only live in just one person.

While I was sympathetic, I felt a lot of pride in my heart and couldn't help but answer loudly: "Taishi Ci is a powerful general! I can help him!" After that, I rode with him.

In the camp, Zhang Ying, Fan Neng and others saw that I was the only one who came out, and even burst into laughter.

We didn't care and rode our horses to the ridge. Not far away was the temple worshipping Emperor Guangwu of Han Liu Xiu. Through the gap in the mountains, we could see more than ten war horses tied to the entrance of the temple. Taishi Ci urged the horse to hurry up and said to me: "Now you and I are attacking the crowd with few people, and we are lonely. If you are afraid, you can go back as long as you want, and one family should go."

As the cool breeze blew, my mind was also cleaned up a lot. Sun Ce nicknamed "Little Overlord", so he was not a good person to talk to. He just said something loudly. If he flinched and ran back, wouldn't he be laughed at by someone and be looked down upon by Taishi Ci.

I gritted my teeth and replied, "Not only about more than ten people, even if there are thousands of troops in front of me, I, Gao Chong, are not afraid."

Taishi Ci laughed and said, "Gao Chong, I will definitely not let me down. I didn't expect that there were heroes in Jiangdong. I drank all the wine and saw me pick up my halberd to meet Sun Lang!" After that, he took off the wine bag hanging on the saddle, sipped his head and threw it at me.

I received the wine bag and smelled a strong smell of wine.

This wine is not as clear as the rice wine brewed by Wu Yue, but it exudes the rough and prosperous spirit of Yan and Zhao in the north.

He was hesitating but not drinking, but he saw Taishi Ci riding his horse in front of me and turned to look at me. I quickly took a sip. The good wine brewed in the north was mellow and strong in nature. I almost sprayed it out in this small sip. Fortunately, I remembered that Taishi Ci was looking at me and couldn't let him see my joke. I forced the urge to spit it out, and my face turned red, saying, "It's such a good wine!"

Seeing that I was very happy, Taishici sang loudly and said, "The crane is in the shade, and his son is in harmony. I have a good title, and I am with you."

The sound of horse hooves broke, and I walked around the mountainside. Suddenly, a horse was coming towards me and the two of me, getting closer and closer, and the appearance of the horseman was seen. I looked at the face of this man with a handsome and heroic spirit. The only thing that was riding a horse and ignoring everything was already vaguely giving people a kingly spirit that had to look up to him.

Just when I was suspicious, Taishi Ci shouted loudly in front of me: "Is that Sun Ce?"

The man immediately stunned and replied, "Who are you?"

Taishici laughed and said, "I am Taishici of Donglai, I'm here to capture you Sun Ce!"

The man was furious when he heard this, and pointed at Taishi Ci, saying, "I am the only one. You two come together and join me, I am not afraid of you! If I am afraid of you, it is not Sun Bofu!"
