Overlord!

Chapter 13
Liu You was really surprised. He didn't expect General Sun to know even a little bit about witches.

He breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said, "It's easy for the general to explain when he knows that witches and witches are on the rise. After Xiping, the witches and witches in Tang and Hou Mountains colluded with the rebels, not only revived, but even went further and intensified."

"After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this situation reached its peak. Although the Han Dynasty put down the main force of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in only ten months, the remnants of moth thieves roamed around, and a large number of Yellow Turban remnants fled into the Tang and Hou Mountains. Setting up fortifications will cause serious damage. They roar in the mountains and forests, and often go down the mountain to plunder the Wubao."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing, isn't this just a copy of Liao Hua, He Man, and Gong Du?

Xu Chu, a famous general of Cao Wei, gathered young men in Wubao to resist the remnants of the Yellow Turbans attacking Wubao before he followed Cao Cao.

After Liu You finished his introduction, Yuan Xiong said with a smile: "General Sun, there are so many bandits gathering in the dangerous mountains in Huainan. The bandit Chen Ce is said to have gathered tens of thousands of people in Lujiang. Ke. The genus of Zhang Duo and Xu Qian also has their own trilogy. Although the bandits on the Tang and Hou mountains are not the largest, as far as I know, there are five or six hundred soldiers and three or four horses on each mountain. As long as the general It is no problem to win them, plus my trilogy, with a total of more than 600 steps and rides."

After Yuan Xiong finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and looked at Sun Ce to see how the hero would respond.Going up the mountain to seek thieves has never been an easy task.The mountains are steep and the valleys are deep and narrow, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.Without the ability to secure the world, ordinary princes can't defeat them, and it is very easy to expose their heels.

Sun Ce laughed out loud, exaggeratedly, as if he had encountered something extremely funny.

Yuan Xiong and Liu You were baffled by the laughter, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Sun Ce couldn't stop laughing.Going up the mountain to seek thieves, no one in this world knows better than him, Sun Ce!
Which of the Jiangdong generals in history did not have a warlord enter the mountains and crusade against Shanyue?For this kind of battle, Sun Ce knew how to fight with his eyes closed!
Yuan Xiong used this to test the hero, it was really Lu Ban hitting an expert with a big ax in front of the door!
Sun Ce said with a smile: "It's just a small boy, why should I go out in person? The soldiers under my command can be determined. It's as easy as turning the palm of your hand!"

Yuan Xiong's complexion changed, he was slightly annoyed, and said: "General Sun, don't underestimate the heroes of Jianghuai! The strong beams on the Tang and Hou Mountains are all desperate, and they have been fighting for a long time. All the people are helpless."

Sun Ce got on his horse and said proudly: "Tang and Hou Mountains, a group of bandits and bandits went to danger because of the chaos, so they depended on each other as strong ears! Just send the strong generals in front and the army in the rear. Ke Ke! Come and watch the battle with me, and see how our soldiers can capture these two mountains before nightfall!"

Seeing Sun Ce's heroic appearance and grandeur, Liu You was greatly moved. How could people not be convinced by such a heroic spirit?
Even Yuan Xiong's chest was filled with arrogance, and he felt like a golden and iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.He also impulsively said: "Okay. Then I will give up the next part and only take Qingqi and Sun Lang to watch the battle."

The teenagers behind him were shocked, and someone walked up to Yuan Xiong anxiously and asked, "Brother, it's not appropriate to take risks like this. What if they get into trouble and annex them by force?"

Yuan Xiong raised his hand, stopped the young people's persuasion, and said: "I believe my vision, just looking at Sun Lang's heroism at this moment, I can't do such a despicable thing."

At the side, Sun Ce didn't care about Yuan Xiong's conversation at all. At this moment, he was full of enthusiasm, and he had the belief that every attack must be conquered and the battle must be won.

After Yuan Xiong arranged the part, Sun Ce and others gathered all the knights under Liu You and Yuan Xiong, and rode their horses directly to the barracks.

When everyone returned to the camp, Cheng Pu had already directed all the soldiers to set up the camp in an orderly manner.

The orderly and dry camp looked very tidy. The soldiers were all sitting together to study the 54th Prohibition [-]. Although the voices were roaring, there was no noise and chaos.

Yuan Xiong listened for a while on the road, only to feel the shock.In this world, there are actually people who are serious about military discipline and abide by the Seventeenth Prohibition 54 executions.

If all these things are banned, then there is no need to doubt that the military discipline and combat power of this army must be top-notch in the world.It is not comparable to a group of bandits and bandits.

Sun Ce led the crowd into the commander's tent, the four Sima's were already waiting here with all the warriors in the army, they had already been told by the guard knights who came back first that the general was going to send troops to hunt down the thieves.Everyone is gearing up and ready to show their talents.

Sun Ce strode up to the position of the head coach, flung his vermilion brocade robe, and said directly, "There are two mountains, Tang and Hou, in Junqiu County, which have been harmful for a long time. We have the responsibility to help the poor and the chaos. Too many words, I am going to send my troops to hunt for thieves, who dares to be the vanguard of this general, overcome dangers first, and defeat Xiaoxiao?"

In an instant, everyone in the tent roared loudly, and their voices almost pierced through the handsome tent.

"General, I'll go!"

"General, let me go! I will destroy the front and break the strong beam."

"General, I'll go! A group of Xiao Xiaoxiao, I'll break it in an instant!"

Cheng Pu passed the crowd and said to Sun Ce: "General, the world has not known the reputation of my Jiangdong disciples for a long time. Please leave this battle to the veterans. I will make this battle the starting point for Jiangdong disciples to shake the world."

Sun Ce nodded, and said, "Yes! The Sun family's soldiers in the world have achieved eternal fame! The bandits in the Tang and mountains will be handed over to Cheng Gong to hunt down."

"The last general takes the order." Cheng Pu cupped his fists excitedly to accept the order, immediately flung off his shirt, and led his subordinates Han Dang, Huang Gai and other fierce generals to leave the command tent and order troops to go out to battle.

The next moment, Zheng Bao came out more and more, and said solemnly: "General, please hand over the bandits on the back mountain to someone. A certain family is willing to issue a military order. If you can't do it before sunset, come and see me!"

Hiss, there was a sound of sucking air in the big tent.

Apparently this Zheng Bao had already lost his boat in order to avenge his shame and prove himself.

The military order is like a mountain, if he can't defeat the bandits before sunset, he really can only kill himself before the battle to apologize to the three armies.

Sun Ce said with a smile, "Yes! All the boats will be destroyed, and the Baier Qinguan will eventually belong to Chu. With such a heroic spirit, I would have believed that you would be able to lead your troops to defeat the enemy in one battle."

Zheng Bao solemnly accepted the order, strode out of the tent directly, took his Shuizhai brothers with him and went straight to the back mountain under the guidance of the guide.

Don't look at Zheng Bao being defeated and surrendered by Sun Ce, just underestimate him, you must know that it is a dimensionality reduction blow.

Sun Ce is a peerless hero, even a superhero like Cao Cao has to avoid his edge, feeling that this honest lion cannot compete with him.

Basically, there are only a handful of people in the world who can compete with him on the frontal battlefield, so he is called the little overlord by the world.

Being defeated by Sun Ce does not mean that Zheng Bao is weak. In fact, among the Jianghuai heroes at the end of Han Dynasty, Zheng Bao was the strongest among the Jianghuai heroes.

The water thieves under him are even more aggressive, persistent and good at fighting, retreating and coming back.

This kind of trilogy is more than enough to fight against the armies of princes, let alone fight against a bandit camp.

As for the bandits who are dependent on each other in Junqiu County, they can't stop Zheng Bao from personally leading the army to attack.

After dispatching troops and generals, Sun Ce personally took Yuan Xiong and Liu You to watch the battle under the back mountain.

Surprisingly, the bandits on the back mountain seem to have heard of Zheng Bao's reputation, and heard that a group of water thieves came out of the water village and came to attack their cottage.

The bandits did not defend against danger, but arrogantly led by the leader, went down the mountain and took the initiative to attack, trying to kill a group of water bandits at the foot of the mountain.

Ordinary bandits don't have any military strategy concept, and they don't understand the advanced art of war such as military power, military struggle, military shape, virtual reality, terrain, and nine changes.

What they thought was very simple, there were hundreds of people, a group of water thieves disembarked, would they be able to defeat their land thieves at the foot of the mountain?

Simple values ​​directly determine their tactics.

A group of people swarmed up under the leadership of the leader, and countless people brandished swords, halberds and knives, roaring and rushed towards the water thieves down the mountain.

Yuan Xiong and Liu You, who were watching the battle from a distance, all looked solemn. Seeing the scene of the dust flying and the battle on the battlefield, their hearts were tense.

Both sides are strong bandits and bandits, and the water thieves have not been reorganized, their clothes are also messy, and there is no publicity.As for the formation?That doesn't exist!Hundreds of water thieves were also standing together.

Ordinary people really can't see where their own advantages lie.

But Sun Ce folded his arms on his chest with a smile, looked around the crowd under the flag, and laughed heartily: "Our army has won this battle! Everyone, prepare to go back to the camp and celebrate the achievements of the soldiers."

Yuan Xiong and Liu You looked at Sun Ce in astonishment, and they really didn't have the confidence to ask, how did they see that the victory and defeat had been decided?
And as Sun Ce's voice fell, Zheng Bao in front also held up his halberd, took the lead, and led the crowd to charge.

This fierce general obviously learned Sun Ce's style of play. He overwhelmed the front, persuaded the soldiers, and fought with a loud voice. The soldiers cheered and roared.

And Zheng Bao even put on his armor and fought bravely, crowning thousands of men bravely. Wherever he fought, men and horses were changed.

A small bandit leader really couldn't stop this kind of fierce general who was the best hero in Huainan, and was directly stabbed to death by Zheng Bao in the formation.

As soon as the two sides confronted each other, the water bandits hacked into the bandit formation in a desperate manner. The enemy's formation was invincible and collapsed from the center.

After stabbing the bandit leader to death, Zheng Bao chopped off the bandit's head with one knife, held his head with his left arm, held it high in the formation, and roared to the sky.

This scene makes the enemy army terrified and the friendly army excited!

In an instant, the morale of the water bandits was like a rainbow, and they all slashed and stabbed fiercely, smashing the enemy formation.

The bandits were not as tenacious as Zheng Bao's subordinates in the fight to the death. The leader was killed and his courage was taken away. A group of bandits dared not move around under the shock of Zheng Bao, and finally all knelt down and surrendered.

But at this time, it's just that the sun is setting, and it's still far away from sunset.

Having witnessed this scene with his own eyes, Yuan Xiong greatly admired it.With such warriors all serving Sun Lang, why would he hesitate?
So he immediately bowed in front of Sun Ce's horse and said, "The general is truly an unrivaled hero. Xiong is willing to do his best for the general!"

Sun Ce said with a smile: "Good! I also look forward to helping the world and helping the world with you, and building a great cause together!"

Yuan Xiong led his troops to seek refuge. In addition to bringing more than [-] soldiers and six horses to Sun Ce's camp, the most important thing is that they brought a full [-] shi of salt and a large number of craftsmen who can boil salt.

There are about two hundred of these craftsmen, who are still in Yuan Xionggen's camp, and will go directly to Liyang under the guidance of soldiers.

This is an extremely important asset.

Salt is a national treasure.

Cao Wei's famous official, Wei Ji, the governor of Guanzhong, once wrote to Xun Yu, suggesting to use salt in Guanzhong to stabilize people's hearts, recruit people, and weaken the generals in Guanzhong.

In the chaos of Li Jue and Guo Si, Guanzhong, which was almost devoid of people and devoid of people for thousands of miles, was restored to its fertile land by relying on this decree.

Sun Ce wants to develop Jiangdong, and he does not intend to follow the historical path of enfeoffing generals.

So salt is the most important thing in his hands, the key to stabilizing Jiangdong's hearts, and one of the biggest sources of wealth for him to maintain and motivate the army.

With this national treasure in hand, the south will have the confidence to fight against the north economically.

Of course, all of this is still far away. The most direct thing right now is that the two hundred halites are the biggest fortune in the camp.It can directly improve the food situation in the camp.

Two hundred rock salt, even if there are 5000 people, each person can get a catty, which is enough to support the catty for half a year.

There can even be some abundance, which can be used to improve medical conditions.

So the soldiers happily welcomed Liu You and Yuan Xiong's trilogy into the camp with their luggage.

Liu You's guests and servants not only brought five stones of herbs, but also thousands of stones of grain.

Naturally, a large number of vehicles are indispensable to transport so many supplies.

The number of vehicles in the camp increased sharply to more than 260 vehicles.

Today is destined to be a festive day. Before the soldiers had finished collecting their supplies, Zheng Bao walked into the big tent with his head in his hands and said excitedly: "General, the head of the bandit chief has been conferred. I will take in 630 disciples and two horses. Five pack horses! There are also more than a thousand swords, guns, swords and halberds, 36 bows and crossbows, and more than [-] feathered arrows."

These are still normal harvests. Zheng Bao's face was a little flushed when he reported the following, and he said, "Besides, we have collected more than a hundred girls on the mountain! More than fifty catties of gold and silver, and two hundred stones of grain."

"Hiss~" All the generals in the tent looked sideways at the same time.

More than a hundred girls!
What is this cottage doing?Do you sing every night?No wonder everyone's legs were weak on the battlefield, and they were crushed and defeated by the water bandits.

Sun Ce knew what was going on. In the Tang and Hou Mountains, the witches married the daughters of the common people for the mountains.Now these witches and bandits join together, and the daughters of the common people do not serve the mountain gods, but all serve the bandits.

Sun Ce said: "Properly place them in the back camp, and take them to Liyang together. You have made great achievements in this battle, and you will be promoted to Sima of the Xingbie Ministry, and you will be the governor of the back camp."

To act as a Sima of another department is to act as an agent for Sima of another department.

Marching with women has always been more troublesome, and it really needs a general to take extra care.Otherwise, the old and the weak must be placed at the forefront of the army to prevent them from falling behind.

For example, Lu Su, the governor of Soochow, took 300 men and women of his subordinates to Jiangdong after he determined that China was out of order, bandits and bandits were rampant, and Huai Nana was a suitable place to stay.His arrangement was to make the weak come first and the strong follow, and more than [-] men and women walked slowly.

But this will obviously seriously slow down the marching speed, so the cavalry from the states and counties quickly chased them down.

If it weren't for Lu Su's strong pull and good shooting, he would have pierced through the shield of the chasing soldiers with one arrow, and the arrows would have pierced through!The pursuers were so frightened that they did not dare to pursue them, and turned back. These hundreds of people had to be massacred.

But thinking of this, Sun Ce really sighed, the governor of Eastern Wu is really capable of fighting, not only has the force of this arrow piercing through the shield, but also went to the meeting alone, in Guan Yu's barracks, he sternly shouted, and his words were very fierce, It shocked Guan Yu and all the generals of Shu Han to be speechless with their bravery.

It's just that he is too far away from Junqiu County at this moment, in the area south of the Huaihe River in Xiapi County, two states have been completely destroyed, otherwise Sun Ce would have to go around to pick him up.
