Chapter 411: Great Harvest
Sun Ren knew that his close combat was definitely not a rival to Lu Bu, so he immediately put the spear in his hand on the ring of trouble (a special small device on the saddle, which is used by the cavalry to temporarily place long weapons while doing other things), then took out her magpie drawing bow from the saddle bag, pulled out the wolf-tooth arrow, and put the bow string. Then the bow opened the full moon and pointed it at Ailang, staring at Ailang, as cold as ice. Ailang couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw this scene. He had seen Sun Ren's archery technique, and at such a close distance, it was very bad!
Sun Ren's originally cold eyes suddenly emitted infinite anger and shouted loudly: "Lu Bu! You insult me too much! Today I will kill you to take revenge!"
Ai Lang was very surprised, and then he remembered the incident of him having met Sun Ren by chance on the eve of the Battle of Red Cliff. He was surprised and muttered: "This woman is so small-minded! She actually remembers such a small thing now!" At this moment, he saw a sharp light flashing in Sun Ren's eyes. Ai Lang's heart moved, knowing that she was going to shoot an arrow. A thought suddenly surged into his heart. He bet Sun Ren would shoot his chest. The moment he saw Sun Ren loosen his finger, Ai Lang quickly dodged sideways, and saw a black shadow flashing and flew over Ai Lang's chest, which happened to hit a Jiangdong cavalry. The cavalry fell down with a scream!
Seeing that Ai Lang avoided the arrow that the other party was almost determined to win, he was secretly grateful. However, Sun Ren felt unbelievable that the other party could have seen the arrow at such a close distance. He came back to his senses and quickly drew out another wolf-toothed arrow to shoot again.
Ailang saw Sun Ren pull out the second wolf-toothed arrow, and was frightened and quickly urged the Red Rabbit Horse to rush forward! Sun Ren raised his bow and arrow to shoot, but suddenly saw a figure rushing in front of him. Before he could react, a cold light flashed, and the magpie painted bow in his hand was split into two pieces! Sun Ren was frightened and furious, and immediately threw away the magpie painted bow, picked up the spear and prepared to fight again! Unexpectedly, one of the other's big hands had reached over and grabbed his clothes, and then she felt like she was driving in the clouds.
It flew away from the horse's back like a fog and was pulled over by the other party. Sun Ren was extremely frightened and struggled hard. The spear in his hand could not exert its power at this moment, so he threw away the spear and reached out to pull the sword at his waist! Ailang's eyes were fast and fast. Seeing that Sun Ren wanted to draw the sword, he subconsciously raised his hand and came to Sun Ren's neck with a heavy blow. Sun Ren immediately fainted, and there was no movement! Ailang saw that the tigress was no longer in a state of consciousness, and finally breathed a long sigh!
At this time, the Lu Bu army's cavalry had already formed an overwhelming advantage, rushing the Jiangdong cavalry into chaos and retreating continuously; while Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, who had fought for dozens of rounds, still could not decide the outcome. Sun Ce saw that Sun Ren was captured, and his army was in a bad situation, and knew that he could not fight anymore, so he immediately swung his shot to deceive Zhao Yun, and then suddenly turned his horse's head and ran towards the south, and shouted loudly: "Retreat! Everyone retreated!..." The Jiangdong army's cavalry could not resist it, but when he heard Sun Ce's call, he would hesitate, and he turned his horse's head and rode away. The Jiangdong army's cavalry retreated to the south, and Ailang and Zhao Yun led the cavalry to chase him relentlessly.
Not long after, both sides chased and fled and rushed into a steep valley. Seeing that Sun Ce had quickly disappeared in front of him, Ailang couldn't help but whip and shouted: "Brothers, work harder! Don't let him run away!" The officers and soldiers roared, and everyone used their strength to take care of themselves.
At this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly found that there were many birds on the mountains on both sides of the front, and his heart moved, and he shouted urgently: "Lord, stop quickly!!" Ai Lang heard Zhao Yun's cry, subconsciously stopped the Red Rabbit Horse. Seeing this, the officers and soldiers stopped one after another. Ai Lang looked at Zhao Yun who was catching up and asked in confusion: "Zilong, what's going on? If you don't chase them, you will let them run away!" Zhao Yun pointed to both sides of the valley ahead and said: "Lord, look at the birds on the mountain, and there seems to be someone shaking in the grass and trees. Zhou Yu is very good at using troops, and he must have set up an ambush here!"
Ailang looked up the mountain ahead and saw birds startled, but he didn't see anyone. But he thought that Zhao Yun's words made sense. Zhou Yu was very cunning. Since he retreated, he might not have any arrangements. If he chased him again, he might be shattered! So he smiled and said, "Okay! This time we have gained a lot, so let them go for the time being! Go back!" Then he turned his horse's head and returned the same way. The officers and soldiers also turned their horses to beat the horses and followed.
Xu Sheng, who was ambushing on the mountain, saw Lu Bu, who was about to enter the ambush circle, turned around and left. He was very disappointed when he was puzzled! However, they did not leave, and were still ambushing the mountains on both sides of the valley.
Ailang led the cavalry out of the valley to the north, and soon after, he joined the large army led by Zhang Liao to support him, and the two sides headed to Chaisang together.
When Ailang entered Chaisang City, the whole city seemed very calm, but the air seemed to be filled with a strong atmosphere of uneasiness. There were no pedestrians on the street, and the officers and soldiers of Ailang were coming and going, but there seemed to be countless uneasy gazes hidden in the houses on both sides staring at Ailang.
Ailang came to Sun Jian's general's mansion, and Xu Shuyan Liang and others immediately came out to greet him, saluting and saluting, "General (lord)!" Ailang and others turned over and dismounted. Ailang looked up at Sun Jian's mansion and laughed, "What a big mansion! It's much more grand than my general's mansion in Xuzhou!" Everyone couldn't help laughing. Ailang raised his foot and walked up the steps, entered the gate surrounded by everyone, walked through the large front yard, and climbed the triple steps into the gorgeous and spacious hall. Ailang went straight into the upper head and sat down, while everyone stood left and right, looking at Ailang with respect.
Ailang looked at Xu Shu and said with a hopeful look: "Old Xu, you must have gained a lot, right?" Everyone's eyes immediately gathered on Xu Shu, all of whom looked curious. Xu Shu smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Most of Sun Jian's money and grain are stored in Chaisang, and now these money and grains are basically in the hands of our army." When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look happy. Ailang laughed and nodded and said, "Okay! This battle was finally in vain!" Xu Shu smiled and said, "Actually, the places like Chaisang, Danyang, Wujun, and Kuaiji are huge wealth in themselves! These places are large inhabited and rich in the people. If you can provide the lord with a steady stream of money and grain in time, how can the little money and grain you have seized now be comparable!"
Ai Lang nodded with consent, and then said, "Old Xu, I think this Nanzheng battle can come to an end. What do you think?" Xu Shu clasped his fists and said, "Lord, wise, this battle has completely achieved the strategic goal specified in our station, and the war can be ended."
Seeing that Xu Shu had the same idea, Ailang shouted to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan!" Zhang Liao immediately stepped out and said with his fists: "The last one is here!" "You stayed behind Chaisang to be responsible for the military defense of Jiangnan." Zhang Liao Yingnuo retreated to the queue. Ailang said to Xu Shu: "Old Xu, you know the situation in Jiangnan best. I will let you be the governor of Jiangdong and be responsible for the civil affairs of Jiangdong." Xu Shu bowed and agreed.
Ailang thought for a while and asked Xu Shu, "Old Xu, do I have anything left behind?" Xu Shu clasped his fists and said, "I suggest that General Xu Huang and the former garrison troops in Huainan be transferred back to Huainan. The other naval army is divided into two steps, one is arranged in Chaisang and the other is arranged in Kuaiji. This is a brief opinion of the subordinates, and I would like to ask the lord to decide." Ailang nodded and praised: "Okay! This is the best placement! Just do it!"
After the meeting, Ailang went to bed behind him. Everyone left the hall to prepare to work on their own affairs.
Xu Shu was talking to Zhang Liao, and suddenly saw Ai Lang's two personal soldiers coming over. It was nothing if Zhang Liao didn't know Sun Ren, but Xu Shu knew Sun Ren, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Isn't this Miss Sun Ren?" Sun Ren glanced at Xu Shu, snorted, and ignored him. At this time, Zhang Liao also came up. After hearing Xu Shu's words, he looked at Sun Ren with a shocked look, and couldn't help but say, "You are Sun Ren! I have heard of you, the female heroes are not allowed to be raped!" Sun Ren ignored Zhang Liao.
Xu Shu asked the two personal soldiers escorting Sun Ren and said, "Where are you going to take Miss Sun Ren?" The two personal soldiers looked puzzled. The soldier on the left clasped his fists and said, "Sir, we are in trouble too! The lord seems to know this Miss Sun, but he did not explain how to imprison her. We are in trouble for this matter!" The soldier on the right said, "Since there is no explanation, it should be locked in a prison cell, right?" Xu Shu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "My lord and Miss Sun are friends but not enemies, you can't do anything nonsense!" Sun Ren was furious when he heard this and shouted, "Who said I am friends but not enemies? I just wish I could sleep with my meat!"
Xu Shu ignored Sun Ren and said to the two personal soldiers: "I'll make the decision, you will take Miss Sun to her own boudoir and send someone to guard it. If she needs anything, please be as satisfied as possible and never neglect it!" The two personal soldiers bowed to her promise. Sun Ren stared at Xu Shu and asked, "Xu Shu, what are you playing with?"
Xu Shu laughed, did not answer, and led Zhang Liao away.
