Chapter 461 Kill the chicken to scare the monkey
Gong Du returned to the camp and called several of his captains under his command, and announced Sun Ce's orders. These captains, the captains, were the same as Gong Du. They originally thought that Sun Ce was a nonsense, but when they heard that they could change their clothes first, they were moved.
The weapons produced in Nanyang are all top-notch, and the knife is strong and sharp, which is definitely comparable to the thirty-year-old sword and fifty-year-old sword. The shield is inlaid with iron sheets, but the weight is not much larger, but it is stronger. The same is true for the zither armor, which is lighter in weight and has better protection ability. If you can change clothes, your chances of survival on the battlefield in the future will be increased by at least half.
Several lieutenants rushed to grab the task, and finally Gong Du chose the battalion with the most hard training to take the lead, and the other two battalions helped them to complete the task, not to embarrass the Yellow Turbans or General Sun. The remaining two battalions protected the battalion and prevented the opponent from counterattacking.
As it turned out, Gong Du thought too much. The three thousand Danyang soldiers did not expect anyone to attack them. Even the patrolmen secretly returned to the tent to sleep. The same number of Yellow Turban soldiers easily opened their camp gate and rushed towards Cao Bao from different directions. Xu Yan's big tent and the tent with supplies were pulled up Cao Xu and the others from the bed without much effort, tied up, hung them on the flagpole in front of the tent, and then carried the things and supplies in his big tent on his shoulders, and froze.
Their movements were very fast. When the Danyang soldiers woke up from their sleep, they had already retreated to the camp safely. Through the camp, they saw the Danyang soldiers spinning like headless flies and laughing loudly. Cao Bao and Xu Jian were hung on the flagpole, condescending to see clearly, and were so angry that they cursed and shouted for a long time before they let them put them down. The two of them didn't wear clothes and came to Sun Ce's camp angrily to settle accounts with Sun Ce.
Several camps under Sun Ce were guarding the iron barrels. Cao Bao and Xu Jian screamed, but Sun Ce did not show up. The two were so angry that they turned around and came to Zhu Yan's tent to complain. After such a mess, the entire camp was alarmed, and Zhu Yan was even more neatly dressed and looked like he was ready to fight at any time.
After hearing Cao Bao, Xu Jian scolded and Zhu Yan looked at them with contempt. "You should be glad that it was Sun Ce who robbed the camp today, not Yuan Tan, otherwise you might not have the chance to stand in front of me and speak."
Cao Xu and the others were very embarrassed.
Zhu Yan stood up, walked to Cao Xu and the others, and turned back and forth twice. "You are my central army, claiming to be elite, but they were taken to the camp without even a chance to fight back. They are so embarrassed to sue? Fortunately, Sun Ce gave you face and didn't kidnap me, otherwise according to military law, all of you should be beheaded. Get out of here, if you have the ability, you will rob it. If you don't have the ability, just endure it like this. Anyway, it's not cold these two days."
After Zhu Yan scolded him, he took off his clothes and went to bed.
Cao Bao and Xu Jian saw it and understood that this was definitely Zhu Yan's dissatisfaction with them, so he asked Sun Ce to teach them a lesson. It would be impossible to get it back. Not to mention the huge gap in troops, even if the troops were equal, they were not Sun Ce's opponents. But the armor must be brought back, otherwise Zhu Yan would gather to discuss matters tomorrow, and they would be embarrassed to dress like this.
The two came to Sun Ce's camp and asked for a meeting again. This time, the attitude improved a lot. Not long after, Sun Ce asked someone to invite them into the central army tent. Sun Ce had already arranged the wine and looked at them with a smile.
"Have you gone to see the Grand Marshal?"
"Sun Lang, you're not that good enough." Cao Bao complained before he even sat down: "What do you have to say to our brothers? How can we meet people tomorrow if we do this?"
Sun Ce stood up and pressed them on the seat. "Two, don't you understand what the Taiwei means yet? The Taiwei is really anxious. I believe that what should be said and what can be said, they told you, but have you two responded? The enemy is in front of you, and you don't even arrange the patrols on duty? If Yuan Tan attacks and Taiwei Zhu is captured by them, what are your responsibilities?"
Cao Bao and Xu Jian looked at each other and felt ashamed.
Sun Ce continued: "If you die, it will not be your own business. Don't forget that you were sent by the envoy Tao to help the Grand Marshal. When the envoy Tao is shamed, you should be very clear about the consequences of his temper."
Cao Bao's cheeks twitched, and a cold air broke out from his back. Tao Qian's temper was as good as Zhu Jun. If something happened like Sun Ce said, they wouldn't be able to go back to Xuzhou, and even Danyang could not go back, Tao Qian would definitely cause trouble for them.
While urging them to drink, Sun Ce persuaded them to persuade them, and made Cao Bao and Xu Jian blush and could only drink one cup after another. Seeing that they were angry, Sun Ce comforted him a few more words and ordered people to return the robbed armor and supplies to them. The two left with great gratitude.
The next day, Zhu Jun gathered to discuss matters, and scolded Cao Bao and Xu Jian in front of everyone, and then ordered that from now on, each battalion should be prepared and be robbed again. Don’t come to me to complain and leave by themselves. Anyway, it’s useless for you waste to stay here, and you waste food.
The generals were noisy and came out one after another, returning to the camp to strengthen the camp defense and scolding their subordinates, so as not to be robbed by Sun Ce. Even the Danyang soldiers suffered losses, and they did not dare to be careless.
Seeing the generals' trembling look, Zhu Jun finally let out a sigh of anger. With this warning, they should be careful. After waiting for two more days, they can urge them to train and prepare for the battle. He pulled Sun Ce to chat and discussed how to prepare for the offensive after the autumn harvest. Sun Ce told him not to be anxious. The imperial edict of the court has not arrived yet. Is the emperor willing to return to Luoyang yet? What's the point of rushing to serve the king? Even if the court agrees, you have to clean up Luoyang first, burn it like that, where will the emperor live? The food must be prepared, are you going to make the emperor hungry?
Zhu Jun sighed with caressing his hair, and the clouds were bleak.
Wenyun walked over with a happy look on his face. "Taiwei, Zhang Yan has sent an envoy."
Zhu Jun was overjoyed, looked at Sun Ce and grinned. Sun Ce refused to attack because he had to wait for Zhang Yan to bow his head, otherwise Yu Du and the others would die. After gambled for more than half a month, Zhang Yan finally couldn't hold back. He was about to ask Wen Yun to bring them in, but Sun Ce shook his head.
"Who is the messenger?"
"Zhang Yan's son, Zhang Fang."
"So, Zhang Yan is still not convinced, and he refuses to come in person." Sun Ce smiled gloomyly and said, "Taiwei, I think we can let them go for a while. We must force Zhang Yan to come to see the Taiwei in person and to suffocate his spirit. Otherwise, he will repeat it in the future."
Zhu Jun shook his sleeves and ignored Sun Ce. "Let Zhang Fang come in." He said to Wen Yun.
Wen Yun turned around and went out. After about a meal, with a burst of rapid footsteps, Wulu and a young man in his twenties came over accompanied by Wen Yun. Wulu looked at Sun Ce with complex eyes and pulled the young man's sleeves at the same time. The young man understood and turned to look at Sun Ce, and lowered his face.
"Is it that the general Sun Ce who was trying to rebel?"
Sun Ce raised his eyebrows, raised his eyelids, and glanced at the young man. "You are Zhang Yan's son? A thief is a thief, and he doesn't understand the rules at all. The Grand Marshal is here, and you dare to be so arrogant? Since you are asking for help, you have to look like you ask for help. Can you get out of the camp like this?"
