Seeing Sun Shangxiang's spring light suddenly appear, the Tao Shang's eyes lit up, and he withdrew his sword and sneered: "What's going on? I can't beat me, so I want to sacrifice my beauty to give you a way out?"

Sun Shangxiang, who escaped the fatal blow, breathed a sigh of relief just now and was about to deal with the pottery's fourth attack, but unexpectedly, the pottery did not take advantage of the situation to attack again, but instead said those frivolous words.

Sun Shangxiang was immediately angry and wanted to get angry and curse, but saw Tao Shang's gaze and was looking at her chest with a smile.

She subconsciously lowered her head and glanced, but was shocked to find that the armor on her chest had been cut by Tao Shang's blade just now, and half of the sued peak was leaking out.

In an instant, Sun Shangxiang was so embarrassed that her face turned red and her ears were red. She hurriedly covered the spring light on her chest with both hands, and scolded her in shame and anger: "Tao Thief, you shameless traitor!"

The Tao merchant ignored her and ordered with his mind: "System Elf, scan Sun Shangxiang's data for me."

"Dou... the system scan is completed, the target is Sun Shangxiang, commander 52, force 71, wisdom 33, politics 31."

Good, it’s really not easy for another female general with a force value of 70 or above. It’s finally met the pottery.

Although Sun Shangxiang has no talent attributes, her martial arts value is above 70. If Tao Shang can marry her, she can obtain her contact and additional martial arts value, breaking her martial arts power through the 90 mark in one fell swoop, and reaching the highest level in the world.

Back then, he relied on his marriage to Princess Hua Mulan to rush his martial power to 80. Now he has fallen into a big pie, how can he let it go?

"I'm so lucky, I can't stop it. I don't want me to see it, right? Then I will catch you back and see you all over my body."

With a sneer, Tao Shang's sword swung away again and was about to take Sun Shangxiang down. At this time, she had no weapons, and it was no problem to capture her alive with Tao Shang's force.

"Tao Thief, don't hurt my princess!"

At this critical moment, Ling Tong rode his horse and danced his sword to kill him.

The enemy general was in full force, so Tao Shang had to give up capturing Sun Shangxiang alive. The sword in his hand changed and Ling Tong went forward to meet him.

Sun Shangxiang breathed a sigh of relief, but she never expected that Ling Tong would come to her at a critical moment and help her clear the siege.

At that moment, she didn't dare to hesitate at all. She quickly picked up a gun, tore the cloak on her back, wrapped it in her chest, rode her horse and danced her gun, and took the opportunity to break out to the east.

Ling Tong is slightly similar to Tao Shang’s martial arts. He originally had a fair fight, but he could not fight for a few moves. Xiang Yu from the rear had already arrived.

Ling Tong was frightened and did not dare to fight again. He had to attack for a few moves, jumped out of the battle group, followed Sun Shangxiang, and fought all the way to the east.

When Tao Shang pulled his horse and wanted to chase Sun Shangxiang again, he found that she had disappeared from the blood mist crowd.

"What a pity, she actually let her run away..."

Tao Shang sighed, feeling a little regretful, but sneered: "You can run away from the monk and you can't run away from the temple. When I destroy the Wu Kingdom, I will see where you can run."

Amid the sneer, the Tao Shang rode his horse and danced his sword, and rushed towards the Wu soldiers. Their anger was vented in the fierce massacre.

To the east, Sun Shangxiang finally took advantage of Ling Tong's cover and fought out a bloody path with his strong martial arts.

The sound of killing behind her gradually faded away, and no pursuers came to chase her. She finally escaped from the sky.

The cloak wrapped in front of her was a little loose, a hint of cold air poured in, and a hint of chill suddenly felt a hint of chill in her chest. This chill immediately reminded her of the embarrassing and shameful scene before, and made her red in her ears again.

"Damn it, I have never seen my body for a man, but I didn't expect to see it for the traitor named Tao. One day, I will definitely capture him alive and dig out his eyes with my own hands..."

...

At night, the pottery merchant also went to Pengze City, a major town that guarded the exit of Poyang Lake and was second only to Chaisang City. Finally, the Great Wei Battle Banner was planted.

The two important towns in the west of the Wu Kingdom, Chaisang, Pengze, and the two important towns in the west of the Wu Kingdom, all fell into the hands of the pottery merchants, and the Poyang Lake to the south and the entire Yuzhang County were also included in the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty.

This means that the Tao Shang's military front had opened the door of the Wu Kingdom, so he could Chaisang and Peng Ze as the base of advance, go east along the river and take direct access to Jianye.

As soon as Pengze City was destroyed, the remaining people in the city naturally became the people of pottery merchants. The pottery merchant with sufficient food and supplies immediately ordered the release of grain to provide relief to the victims.

These hungry people who have reached the brink of death have made them extremely grateful for their survival. They have forgotten the identity of the pottery invaders and are grateful to this new ruler.

In addition to the civilians, more than 2,000 Wu soldiers who fled had all been killed.

The Tao merchant carried the heads of the two thousand Wu soldiers on bamboo rafts and allowed them to drift downstream to shock the hearts of the military and civilians of the Wu Kingdom.

A few days after capturing Pengze City, the 20,000 naval army led by Wu Zixu also arrived at the Pengze line, and the 80,000 main infantry commanded by Lian Po also arrived one after another.

The troops gathered on the front line of Chaisang Pengze of the Great Wei Dynasty had reached 120,000, and the absolute superior force had been formed.

What the pottery merchant has to do now is to reward the three armies, reward the meritorious generals, celebrate this hard-won victory, and then let his soldiers rest for a while, and then they can do their best to wipe out the Wu Kingdom and pacify the south in one fell swoop.

...

Wuying, Wankou.

When the pottery merchants in the upstream were immersed in the joy of celebrating the victory of capturing Pengze and killing Ling Cao, hundreds of miles downstream, Sun Ce in the Wankou Camp was still immersed in the shadow of the previous defeat.

The previous defeat caused more than 10,000 troops to lose more than 10,000 troops, and countless naval warships. Although Han Dang's army was saved, he came to Ankou to gather again, which increased his strength. However, Liu Zhang's Shu army retreated, and the main naval and land corps on the western front of Wei all advanced eastward to Chaisang and join Tao Shang. The Wei army had more than 100,000 troops, which had already formed an absolute advantage for him.

Even in the naval army, the number of Wei army reached 30,000, and it also had four water generals, Wu Zixu, Xu Sheng, Gan Ning and Ma Yuan, and advanced warships such as vehicles and ships.

It can be said that the Wei army had an advantage in both the navy and the army.

Moreover, the Wei country was a great country with a large population, and once there was a loss of troops, horses, food and grass, it would be replenished soon, but Sun Ce only owned Yangzhou and could not replenish the losses in time.

When the news of Sun Ce's defeat in Chaisang spread to the State of Wu, the Three Wus were terrified and people's hearts became even more turbulent.

The atmosphere was solemn in the tent of King Wu.

Sun Ce's face was gloomy and dull, silent, his eyes flashed with anger and helplessness, his fists were clenched in his hands, and his intelligence just sent from Peng Ze:

Pengze Fortress has fallen, general Ling Cao was killed in battle. Ling Tong and Sun Shangxiang escaped from the encirclement by luck and were retreating to Wankou.

Sun Ce gritted his teeth and was about to break, his eyes were filled with anger, and his face was filled with unprecedented anger.

He hated Tao Shang and Ling's father and son who did not obey his own king's orders and did not stick to Pengze. Instead, he took his own initiative and abandoned the city to break through, causing Pengze to fall.

The loss of Pengze City means that he lost the last opportunity to block the western gate of Wu. Looking at the Yangtze River, there is no more fortress that can stop the Wei army from advancing eastward along the river.

"Ling family father and son, you really disappointed me..." Sun Ce slowly tore the information in his hand, with complaints and disappointment flowing on his face.

All the generals in front of the tent remained silent, and could only shake their heads and sigh.

At this time, Lu Su stood up and bowed: "King, Peng Ze has been surrounded for nearly a month. It is not easy for Ling's father and son to defend until now with two thousand soldiers. Now they have to abandon the city and break through. Moreover, the old general Ling successfully broke through with death for the princess, which is also a great contribution. I hope the king will not blame them too much."

Among the generals, only Lu Su was upright and said a fair word to the Ling family father and son.

Peng Ze was besieged for so long, and Sun Ce stationed his troops at Wankou. On the surface, he wanted to rescue Peng Ze, but he remained silent and did not take any practical actions.

Everyone knows that it is not easy for Peng Ze to have few soldiers and food, and it is already quite difficult for Ling’s father and son to be able to guard for a month. At this time, he abandoned the city and broke through. Although he violated the king’s order, he was willing to do so. Sun Ceruo still blamed him again, which was really unkind.

"Cough cough--" Sun Ce coughed a few times, obviously displeased with Lu Su's speech, but it was not easy to get angry. He had to say: "Zi Jing's words are reasonable. When Ling Gongji comes back, I will reward him highly."

"The king is wise." Lu Su then bowed down.

After suppressing his anger, Sun Ce looked at his ministers again and said in a deep voice: "Caisang and Peng Ze are the gateways to the west of my Great Wu. I must take them back. If you have any tricks to defeat the enemy, tell me."

After saying this, even Sun Ce himself showed a little lack of confidence.

As we all know, when they had the advantage, they could not take back Chaisang. They were defeated miserably and their troops were greatly damaged. The 120,000 troops of Wei State had gathered on the front line of Chaisang. It would be a miracle if they could take back Chaisang again.

The generals remained silent, and Sun Ce's face became gloomy again, and he said in a deep voice: "I, Wu Erlang, are all bloody men, just defeated? Why? Are you all afraid of being beaten by the pottery thief?"

The generals looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Sun Ce's face became more and more beautiful. In desperation, he had to look at Pang Tong, "Shi Yuan, you are known as Feng Chu. At this critical moment, what tricks do you have to help me win back Chaisang and Peng Ze?"

"Chaisang is the gateway to the west of our Great Wu, of course, to be recaptured, but now our army has lost its troops and its national strength has been greatly damaged. Tong thought that we had to go through a period of rest and wait for the national strength to recover, and it would not be too late to send troops to the west after the national strength and strength were slightly restored." Pang Tong did not deny Sun Ce, but he tactfully proposed not to advance again.

As a military advisor, Pang Tong expressed his opposition to using troops on the Chaisang front again. The generals breathed a sigh of relief and all followed.

Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "I want to rest, but you have also seen that more than 100,000 troops of pottery thieves have gathered in Chaisang Pengze. If I don't do it first, he will attack me, Dawu. Should I do nothing and wait for the pottery merchant to go east to the Yangtze River?"

"Don't be anxious," Pang Tong smiled faintly, "The Taoist thieves gathered more than 100,000 troops on the line of Chaisang, but he fought with the Shu army and our army one after another. The soldiers were extremely tired and would not send troops easily in a short period of time. We might as well take this opportunity to send envoys to seek peace with the Taoist thieves. If we can persuade the Taoist thieves to stop the troops, we can gain enough time to recover our vitality. This is the best strategy."

Ask for peace!

These two words, like a knife, pierced Sun Ce's heart, making his expression change instantly, and he suddenly felt angry.

Pang Tong had long expected that he would get angry, and before he could wait for him to be angry, he explained first: "In the current situation, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and Goujian was defeated, and he did not hesitate to lie on firewood and taste gall, and eventually turned defeat into victory. The king is a hero. Don't you know the reason why a real man can bend and stretch? For the sake of the overall situation, what's so great about surrendering to the pottery thief?"

After a few words, Sun Ce's angry words were harshly pushed back.

Sun Ce was speechless and stunned for a while, but could only smile bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

He actually knew better than anyone else. With his strength, it was a problem whether he could defend Ankou with his strength, let alone regaining Chaisang Pengze. He was so anxious to counterattack before, but his arrogant self-esteem was just a matter of his own fault.

But Pang Tong knew Sun Ce again, so he took Goujian as an example, which gave Sun Ce a step forward.

Soon, Sun Ce fell silent, got up and walked in the tent, his mood becoming more and more calm.

After a while, Sun Ce sighed lightly and smiled bitterly: "The military advisor of Shiyuan is right, but I am a little impulsive. However, the pottery merchant has the advantage at the moment. Even if I pretend to ask for peace with him, I am afraid he may not agree."

Pang Tong smiled confidently: "The Taoist thief is now victorious, and he is arrogant. The king sent someone to send envoys to seek peace. The pottery merchant would most likely accept it. Even if he doesn't accept it, we can use the name of peace talks to delay the Taoist thief's advance eastward and strive for as much time as possible for rest."

"Well, Shi Yuan's words are reasonable, but I don't know who can go to the State of Wei to take on this important task?" Sun Ce nodded and asked.

Pang Tong thought about it and said, "Tong knows that there is a young talent in my Great Wu who is outstanding in talent and is suitable for the mission to Wei State."

"Who?"
