The scale of the previous battle was too small. Although Sun Quan had the merit of first accumulating, it was not enough to be promoted. He only rewarded some money and wine. Sun Ce brought Chen Mi and his troops under Sun Quan's command, which was considered a super reward, and the meaning of supporting was very obvious.

If he was not Sun Ce's younger brother, it would inevitably cause criticism if he was another general.

After Sun Quan returned to the camp, he went to see Zhu Huan first and conveyed Sun Ce's edict to him.

Zhu Huan was a little worried, and hesitated for a while with the edict. Seeing this, Sun Quan smiled and said, "The general is worried that he can't control the surrendered soldiers?"

Zhu Huan was about to speak, but Chen Jiao pulled his sleeve behind him. Although Zhu Huan did not understand his intention, he changed. "The king is so serious, how could Huan have this intention? It's just that His Majesty's edict came suddenly and he didn't think about how to convey it to the generals." He smiled. "To be honest with the king, Huan thought the king would divide some of the prisoners to other battalions. After all, it was not only the king who was in battle at that time, right?"

Sun Quan felt it was reasonable and decided to pick out three hundred from the surrendered stroke and distribute it to Jia Kui, Sun Guan and Pan Hua. Zhu Hua would be operated specifically and then take some money from the rewards to compensate. Chen Mi did not have many subordinates, and the private parts should not be dispersed to avoid panic. After all, it would not be a coolie next time, and they would also need to fight.

Sun Quan also planned to give some to Zhu Huan alone, but Zhu Huan politely declined. Sun Quan knew that Zhu Huan would not accept it, so he didn't say much, so he asked Zhu Huan to arrange someone to go to the prisoner camp to pick up people and get some equipment.

After Sun Quan left, the smile on Zhu Huan's face disappeared immediately. He turned around and looked at Chen Jiao. "What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Do you doubt Your Majesty?"

Zhu Huan's face changed. "Ji Bi, this joke is not good. Your Majesty has the grace of recreation for me. I have no doubt about Your Majesty, but I just can't understand his intention."

Chen Jiao nodded, pulled Zhu Huan into the tent and sat down, and signaled his personal guards to hold the tent door and not let the idle people approach. "Do you know why Your Majesty left the camp today?"

"Don't you go and see the navy's camp?"

"Yes, I went to see the navy's headquarters, but there was also the King of Qi (Sun Kuang) on ​​the boat. The King of Qi was good at painting things. He wanted to enjoy the scenery in the gorge, and His Majesty accompanied him to see the mountains and waters."

Zhu Huan smiled and envied. "Your Majesty is so good to these younger siblings."

"That's right, Your Majesty values ​​family affection, and everyone knows it. The left lord and the right lord are good at martial arts. He trained them to use military force since childhood. The King of Qi is good at painting affairs, so he asked Professor Cai Jijiu for him to teach him. What about the King of Changsha?"

The smile on Zhu Huan's face gradually dissipated. He leaned on the chair, supported his cheek with his hands, and pondered without saying a word. He knew what Sun Quan was thinking, otherwise he would not have supported Sun Quan so hard. But after Chen Jiao's opinion, he seemed not optimistic about Sun Quan.

If Chen Jiao is right, not only will his previous efforts be wasted, but he may have left a bad impression on His Majesty.

"Ji Bi, can't the King of Changsha really be in charge like the left and right gubernatorial guard?"

"Even if he is the supervisor of ten thousand people, he should not be on the border." Chen Jiao broke Zhu Huan's fantasy without hesitation. "It is not his leader to conquer the battle. He can still rely on his daily efforts. A large army of more than ten thousand people can no longer be dealt with by hard work. He must have a certain talent and cannot barely come."

He looked at Zhu Huan and added another sentence. "He lacked the intuition to make decisions on the spot and could not become a real famous general."

"for example?"

"Is the general trying to remind Changsha King Chen Mi that he is suspicious and cannot be reused?"

Zhu Huan's eyes flashed slightly, and he subconsciously held his breath. He didn't say anything, but his back was cold.

The combat deployment of the besieging Zigui County was soon completed. Sun Ce held a pre-war combat meeting, and the generals expressed their opinions and daily battle tasks.

Zigui City was not regular, and the city was built along the mountains, tilted in the northeast-southwest direction, backing the mountains in the northeast and facing the river in the southwest. Sun Ce ordered the Central Navy to blockade the south of the Yangtze River and provide long-range support, Zhu Huan's troops were responsible for the frontal attack, and Lou Gui was responsible for launching attacks in the southeast to restrain the troops on the city.

Right General Ji Ling set up a formation on the ridge southeast of the city to block reinforcements that might have come from Danyang City.

Sun Quan successfully won the starting lineup with the top spot in the last time.

Sun Guan replaced Jia Kui, and his combat sequence was second only to Sun Quan. Once Sun Quan's troops were unfavorable in combat or suffered too many casualties, he would take over it.

As the reserve team in Zhu Huan's hands, Jia Kui is ready to respond at any time.

After the arrangement was made, Sun Ce personally visited Sun Quan's camp. At the entrance of the camp, he saw Chen Mi standing beside Sun Quan wearing Wu army armor. Sun Ce looked at Chen Mi and called him to the front. "Since Zhongmou believes in you, I don't want to say too much. I just hope you don't let Zhongmou down. If something happens, even if Gan Xingba comes to plead with mercy in person, I can't spare you."

Chen Mi bowed and bowed. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to live up to the King of Changsha."

Sun Ce nodded and waved his hand to signal Chen Mi to retreat. Sun Quan accompanied Sun Ce forward, patrolling the camp and checking the preparations, while whispering: "Brother, suspect Chen Mi?"

Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan. "Be careful to sail for ten thousand years. Zhongmou, if you use the surrendered general well, you will be able to do something easily. You can't take Chen Mi as the old man of Gan Ning. Even if Gan Ning is here, you may have to be careful. No matter what, Chen Mi's family is still in Chengdu."

Sun Quan nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, brother, please be careful and don't give him an opportunity to take advantage of it."

After walking around Sun Quan's camp, he came to Chen Mi's camp again. Chen Mi's subordinates were divided into 300 people, leaving only more than 200, all of which were Chen Mi's private parts. Although he was wearing the standard armor of Wu Jun, his spirit was obviously not as good as Wu Jun. His eyes were timid and he was indescribable. Although Chen Mi repeatedly called them to stand up straight and showed some energy, he still couldn't help it. Several of them were not even stable.

Sun Ce glanced at it and frowned even more.

"Zhongmou, how do you plan to use them?"

Sun Quan pondered for a moment. "Pusssessed surrender. Chen Mi and Wenbu and Deng Kai are familiar with each other. I think about it. Let Chen Mi demonstrate and persuade her to surrender in front of the formation. Maybe she won without a fight. Even if she fails, she can disintegrate the morale of some defenders."

"Well, there is some reason." Sun Ce nodded and agreed. "Then what? Do you use them to fight?"

"Of course, we can't support them in vain. If we want to become a member of my Great Wu Xiong Army, we must first prove their courage."

Sun Ce hugged his arms, looked at the listless soldiers, and then looked at Sun Quan. "Okay, Yangguan Road, the single-plank bridge, you have to walk by yourself before you know. Since you have decided on it, go and do it. Just be careful in everything."

"only."

"In a few days, Ji Zuo will be back. Do you have anything to bring to your mother and aunt?"

Sun Quan thought about it and rubbed his hands in a little embarrassed manner. "Brother, I am busy with fighting recently and I am really not prepared."

Sun Ce smiled. "You should know what your mother needs the most."

Sun Quan scratched his head awkwardly. "So that's it. I wrote a letter to my mother and promised her that after fighting Yizhou, I would go back to marry and have children. I will not hide it from the emperor's brother, and I have even thought of the name of my son."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. "What's the name, Sun Deng?"

Sun Quan was stunned. "Emperor...Emperor, can you even guess this?"

Sun Ce was also stunned for a moment, and there was something strange in his heart. He was just talking casually, but he never thought he was really confused. It seemed that the inertia of history could not be ignored. His eyes rolled and he laughed out loud.

"You still need to guess? You didn't realize that after you first climb the city, you were even a little floating in walking?"

Sun Quan was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he bowed his hands to beg for mercy. "My brother is very careful to follow the teachings of the emperor and beg for arrogance and impatience."

Sun Ce patted Sun Quan on the shoulder and said earnestly: "This is almost the same. Don't float, as it will fall down when you float. Not only do you look ugly, but I will lose my face."

"My brother understands. The emperor is grateful. The emperor is supporting me, and there are many people who are jealous. They wish I could be frustrated. But please promise me that I will not give them this opportunity."

"That's good."

Sun Ce and Sun Quanhan made a few remarks and called Shen Mi to the front again. "Zhongyuan, I heard from Pan Hua that year that time, did you also participate in the battle in Wu County?"

Shen Mi nodded repeatedly. "As Your Majesty said, I have joined the war, but I have not visited the front line in person. Otherwise, I would have been following the king like Xingba."

"Have Xingba ever told you about the scene of his meeting with Zhou Gongjin?"

"I said that Xingba was defeated at that time, and hesitated to advance and retreat. He was unwilling to abandon the governor of Zhou and danced with each other, so he cheered up again."

"I don't have the talent of Zhou Gongjin, and I can't dance with you and encourage you. But I can promise you that as long as you can help the King of Changsha fight with all your heart, I will never let you down, just like waiting for the tyrant." Sun Ce glanced at Shen Mi's subordinates. "Including them."

Shen Mi was slightly stunned, subconsciously raised her head and looked at Sun Ce, which happened to meet Sun Ce's gaze. Her heart skipped a beat. She quickly lowered her head, knelt down on one knee, and clasped her fists over the top.

"I respect your Majesty's decree and I wish to do my best to do my best."

Sun Ce bent down and reached out to pat Shen Mi on the shoulder.

"effort!"

Shen Mi's subordinates stood farther. Although they couldn't hear what Sun Ce and Shen Mi said, they saw Shen Mi kneeling down to Sun Ce and comforted Shen Mi. Their expressions and movements were closer than before. They knew that it was not a bad thing, so they looked at each other. The originally low morale was unknowingly revived, and some smiles appeared on their faces.

After the inspection, Sun Quan and Shen Mi sent Sun Ce to the camp gate. Seeing Sun Ce go away, the two looked at each other and smiled at each other.

"Try hard!" Sun Quan said.

"Here!" Shen Mi bowed and bowed.

——

Back at the Central Army's tent, Sun Ce took off his cloak and threw it to Zhen Xiang. Zhen Xiang took it and hung it on the orchid tattoo beside him.

As soon as Sun Ce sat down, Guo Jia walked out from outside, holding several documents in his hand.

"Your Majesty, have you seen any clues?"

Sun Ce looked at Guo Jia and smiled and said, "You can't even see it, how can I see it?"

"This may not be necessary. After all, using your eyes is not as good as using your heart. Your Majesty's intuition has always been excellent, and I am ashamed of myself." Guo Jia said, pushing the document in his hand to Sun Ce. "The Xianbei people have had trouble again."

Sun Ce took it and browsed it one by one. The documents were transferred from the Anxi Grand Governor's Office, but the source was not one. There were both the farthest Yumen and the closer Wuwei and Jincheng. The contents were similar. The Xianbei people who were previously disbanded by Liu Xie's Western Expedition were disturbed again, and a few leaders who had never heard of the name appeared, which was astonishing as a gathering.

After reading it, Sun Ce gently placed it on the table, stretched out his hand to scratch his eyebrows, which made him feel a little headache. Although it was not surprising that the Xianbei people made a comeback, the timing was really bad. In order to conquer Yizhou, he had invested a lot of manpower and material resources, so he had no energy to deal with the matters of the Xianbei people.

"Your Majesty, please order the Lusu tribe to move westward. It is enough to have the left guardian in the battlefield in Hanzhong."

Sun Ce changed his position and leaned on the chair. "It's not impossible for Lu Su to move westward, but where did he get the money and food?"

"It is enough to provide the money and food required by infantrymen. It is not possible to rely too much on supplies in cavalry battles, or should we support the war by fighting. Our cavalry equipment has advantages, and Liangzhou is also sufficient. Whether it is a raid or a formation, the winning rate will not be low as long as the generals are selected properly. It is not realistic to eliminate the roots, and there should be no problem in stabilizing Hexi."

Sun Ce repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and felt that Guo Jia was right. Liangzhou is the main place of war horses. The cavalry and military-civilian communications of the Wu Kingdom were seriously related to the horses from Liangzhou. Once Liangzhou is in chaos and the source of the horses is cut off, it will cause further chaos.

Let’s leave Hanzhong to Sun Shangxiang and Lu Xun. With Xun Yu in charge of Guanzhong, there should be no problem.

"Shimpi returns to the Anxi Governor's Office to assist Jia Xu. Some things that Jia Xu does not handle are handled well will be handled by Xin Pi."

Guo Jia smiled. "I'm afraid that the old fox will have other ideas."

"If you have any ideas, please let him go. The ironwork is strong and the best way to prevent the people of Xiliang from making trouble is not Neijing, but we can take responsibility ourselves." Sun Ce stood up, paced back and forth for two steps, and said again: "Chen Dao's troops transferred to the Anxi Governor's Office, and selected two of the five cavalry of the Central Army to make up for the shortcomings of the Anbei Governor's Office. Anyway, if you want to rotate, let's start now."

Guo Jia thought about it and nodded in agreement. "It's better to transfer Cheng Pu to Anxi, and Wen Chou to Anbei. Cheng Pu once followed the General of the Cavalry to fight westward and had a certain understanding of the situation in Xiliang. Wen Chou and Shen You also cooperated with each other, so it's easier to cooperate."

Sun Ce nodded and agreed. Cheng Pu was in his early fifties and didn't have much time to fight. He asked him to seize the opportunity to go into battle and make some contributions, and he could retire gloriously. Wen Chou was in his prime and was from Hebei again. He could help Shen You with his strength and stabilize the northern border.

"How to do it specifically? Let's work with the Military Advisory Office to draw up a plan. So many people are transferred at the same time, some eat meat and some drink soup, so it is inevitable that the thickness is uneven. Do your work in advance so as not to backfire."

Guo Jia smiled knowingly. "Your Majesty is thoughtful. If there are still people who are picking and complaining about it, it would be too arrogant." He paused and said, "Your Majesty, after Chen Da went to Anxi, Anbei will not have any armored cavalry. Will you adjust Ma Chao's position and let him command the armored cavalry and Wen Chou command the Qing cavalry?"
