Tao Ying was originally worried that Sun Ce would refuse, but when he heard Sun Ce say that he had the same intention, he was immediately overjoyed.

The two sat on the ground on the hillside and discussed. Sun Ce did not directly talk about the plan to attack Guangling, and he had to consider this matter again. He told Tao Ying that he wanted to make a fight with Liu He and wanted to send warriors to compete with Liu He.

Tao Ying had just watched a competition, but the victory and defeat came too quickly and was still not satisfied. After listening to Sun Ce's suggestion, he was right and cheered. Sun Ce took advantage of the situation and suggested that he was not strong enough and asked Tao Ying to allocate more food. Tao Ying agreed and immediately asked someone to make arrangements. However, what he was more concerned about was the appointment. In front of him, Sun Ce asked Gu Hui to write a letter of war, and Tao Ying sent someone to Xiapi City.

When the two armies formed an alliance, Sun Ce was very polite and took the initiative to give up the identity of the commander to him. He just cooperated with Tao Ying to fight against him. This was to support Tao Ying ascend. Tao Ying was brought out by him and was far closer than the pottery merchant. The more stable Tao Ying's status was, the more beneficial it was to him. Tao Ying knew this well and reciprocates. He discussed everything with Sun Ce and never dared to make his own decisions.

Seeing the messenger bringing the war book down the mountain, Tao Ying couldn't wait and said with a smile: "General, where is the best place to compete in martial arts?"

——

"Martial contest?" Liu He put down the war letter, looked at the messenger Wang Lang, and couldn't help laughing: "Whose idea is this?"

"Of course it's General Tao." Wang Lang said seriously: "General Sun is the prefect of Kuaiji, and he is just here to help."

Liu He was a little surprised and looked Wang Lang again. "Dare you ask for your name? Where is the person?"

"Wang Lang, Tan County." Wang Lang bowed his hands without being humble or arrogant.

Liu He was shocked and quickly got up and came to Wang Lang. "Are you the disciple of Grand Marshal Yang Gong, Wang Junjingxing?"

Wang Lang nodded and his face was calm.

Liu He was very embarrassed, tidied up his clothes, took a step back, and gave a deep courtesy. "Death crime, death penalty, I have heard of Mr. Mr.'s name for a long time, and I have never been able to see him. Unexpectedly, he was abrupt today. Please forgive me."

Wang Lang supported his hands with his hands. "The general doesn't have to do this. Lang is just a scholar, but the general is behind the royal family. Now he has tens of thousands of troops, and he is in order. He should not mess up the rules and regulations."

"If sir said this, He is really ashamed." Liu He blushed and quickly asked Wang Lang to attend the meeting. Wang Lang is a famous scholar in Tan County. Liu He had heard of his name for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity to meet. Meeting today under such circumstances is not what he hoped. If this spreads, his reputation will be ruined.

Liu He repeatedly apologized, which made Wang Lang feel embarrassed. The two exchanged a few words and learned that Wang Lang was engaged in the Zhizhong of Xuzhou and assisted Tao Ying in Pengcheng under Tao Qian's order. "I heard that Tao Qian was rude and despicable, and many people in Xuzhou were unwilling to join him. The sir is a disciple of Yang Gong and has a reputation all over the world. How could he respond to Tao Qian's destiny?"

Wang Lang stroked his beard and said lightly: "Although Tao Mu is not learning but has no literature, he has the court in his heart and has always paid tribute every year. Even if there are some, he will not lose his duty as a minister. Lang has no power to tie a chicken and cannot fight on the battlefield like a general, to quell the rebellion and rebellion. He can only assist Tao Mu in the good, which can be regarded as doing his best."

Liu He was speechless and had to turn the topic to the challenge book. "Sir, is this challenge book really what Tao Ying meant? I heard that Sun Ce is so brave and fierce, and he has recruited many martial artists under his command. This suggestion is more like what he proposed."

Wang Lang was silent. Of course he knew that this suggestion was proposed by Sun Ce, but he could not tell Liu He that as an envoy sent by Tao Ying in the Xuzhou Zhizhong, he must maintain Tao Ying's dignity.

Seeing that Wang Lang did not answer, Liu He said again: "Sir, do you think I should agree?"

Wang Lang said lightly: "General, I am just an envoy. I have the responsibility of rumors and no meaning of advice. Should or not, the general should be self-determination."

Liu He smiled. "Mr. is a predecessor in the village, and I am a young man. If you have something to do, please ask Mr. Why should you be so careful with me? Could it be that Mr. Sun Ce's family has also been arrested, so there must be some taboos?"

Wang Lang sighed and looked up at Liu He's eyes. "General, I have no family to be arrested, so there is no need to be a taboo. However, the general, with strong soldiers, cannot assist the country, and cannot protect the country, and he can't protect the country. He consumes countless money and food every day. What do he mean?"

Liu He avoided Wang Lang's eyes guiltily. He thought for a moment, raised his head again, and said earnestly: "Sir, I don't know anything. I don't want to fight, but I really have no confidence in winning. Three days ago, I intercepted Sun Ce's main force in Pugubei. At that time, Sun Ce was not in the army. Our army had twice the advantage of military strength. I thought I could annihilate Sun Ce and return Xuzhou to peace. Unexpectedly, after one day's battle, our army lost more than 2,000 people, but failed to shake Sun Ce's position. Now that Sun Ce has returned to the battle, Tao Ying led his troops to support, but my troops have not increased. Instead, I have fewer Guangling County troops, so I am really unable to attack. If Mr., I can teach me the method of determining Xu Tu, I will lead by example and decide with Sun Ce."

Wang Lang was surprised. "You have fought with Sun Ce's subordinates in Pugupi?"

"It's true, I dare not hide it at all."

Wang Lang looked at Liu He and believed his words. Liu He should not have made up such a shameful thing to lose face. It can be seen that Liu He sincerely asked him for advice. Wang Lang lowered his head and felt a burst of uneasiness in his heart. He knew that Sun Ce was good at using troops, and this time he led a light cavalry to Qu County. Tan County was an example. Tao Ying privately didn't know how glad he had such an ally. If it weren't for Sun Ce, the East China Sea would be no longer owned by Tao Qian.

But this was the first time he knew that Sun Ce's subordinates had such strong combat power. If this were the case, Xuzhou would probably not be Liu He or Tao Qian's, and would eventually become Sun Ce's. Sun Ce already owned Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou. If Xuzhou is occupied again, there would be one of the three parts of the world. Can he still be content with his post and respect the court?

Wang Lang's eyebrows became tighter and tighter. He thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and made a decision. "General, the competition is just a bravery for every man, and the outcome has nothing to do with the overall situation. But Sun Ce is good at taking risks. If you can transfer him from Yishan, you may have a chance to ambush him."

"How can I transfer him from Yishan?"

Wang Lang looked at Liu He. "General, although I don't know how to use troops, I know that I will rescue him if I attack him. But I also know that I can play to my strengths and avoid weaknesses, avoid the real and attack the weak. The general is a commander of the army. Do you still want me to give me some advice?"

Liu He rolled his eyes and slowly spit out two words: "Qu County?"

Wang Lang didn't say a word, but his meaning was clear. Tan County was the county seat, with a strong city and a deep city, and it was difficult to attack. Qu County was just an ordinary county town with limited defense power, but the Mi family, who supported Tao Qian and Sun Ce, was in Qu County. In order to save the Mi family, Sun Ce used a light cavalry to travel four or five miles in order to save the Mi family, but Liu He was unaware of the situation at the time and could not seize the opportunity. If he sent people to attack Qu County, Sun Ce would definitely rush to support again. He only had one thousand cavalry, and he would definitely lose in the face of the raid of three thousand cavalry.

Liu He bowed deeply to Wang Lang. "Thank you, sir."
