Chapter 917 Liu He's Ambition
Mi Zhu burst into tears and thanked him repeatedly.
Sun Ce immediately asked Guo Jia and others to discuss the matter of rushing to Qu County. Rescue soldiers were like putting out fires. He would lead the infantry and cavalry of the personal guards to go first. Guo Jia led Lu Su, Dong Xi, Quan Rou and others to rush there.
Wu Jing turned against it, with a stern voice and a stern voice. "If it was as you thought, Liu He had already succeeded at this moment and his morale was strong. You hurried there, not to mention whether your physical strength could support it, how could you win with one and three? Liu was a royal family, lived in the East China Sea for five generations, and was a big surname in Xuzhou. There were many supporters. His father was the Grand Marshal and was always popular with the hearts of the people. Who do you know in Xuzhou? There are no friends who can help you, but how many enemies who want to kill you? Once the war is not going well, the Chen family can take your life."
A hint of warmth appeared in Sun Ce's heart. Although Wu Jing was a little dependent on his seniority and suppressed his juniors, his concern for him was real. When all the generals were not ashamed of the face of the Mi brothers, he was the only one who could not give Mi Zhu face.
He also knew that this battle was dangerous. If he could fight, he would have fought long ago, so why wait until now?
One thousand to three thousand, even if your subordinates are well equipped and trained, they will suffer both losses and can only rely on spoils to supplement their losses. But unless they achieve an overwhelming victory, the amount of spoils is limited, and the gain is not worth the loss. Cavalry is too precious to him and it is not worth the risk for the Mi family. Mi Zhu is just a businessman, Mi Fang's ability is average, not outstanding, Mi Lan is just a woman, and it is not worth his price to pay.
At least that's true in Wu Jing's opinion.
Sun Ce patiently explained: "Uncle, don't worry, I will not fight Liu He rashly. If there is no chance to win, I will keep a distance from them, restrain them, and wait for the infantry to arrive before fighting. It is precisely because the Liu family is a big surname in Xuzhou that I cannot let Liu He control Xuzhou smoothly, otherwise Tao Mu will be defeated, and Yuzhou will be attacked on both sides, and sooner or later will be lost."
Wu Jing stared at Sun Ce for a long time. "Are you telling the truth?"
Sun Ce smiled bitterly and said, "How dare I lie to my uncle? These cavalrymen are all the assets I have accumulated hard, and I can't bear to waste them."
Wu Jing nodded. He believed this. Although Sun Ce was young, he was more steady than Sun Jian. He was so anxious that he had learned a painful lesson. When Sun Jian participated in the bidding for Dong, the people in Yang were defeated by Xu Rong and fled to Xihua. The soldiers were dispersed. Sun Jian himself was seriously injured and lay in the grass. They were all scared and felt that the sky was about to collapse. It was not until Sun Jian's war horses led them to find Sun Jian. The pillar of the Sun family is no longer Sun Jian, but Sun Ce. If Sun Ce had an accident, the consequences would be even more serious than Sun Jian's death in the battle.
Wu Jing walked up to Sun Ce, pressed his hands on Sun Ce's shoulder, stared at Sun Ce's eyes, and said word by word: "You must put the overall situation first, and never take risks."
Sun Ce nodded solemnly. "Sure."
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang exchanged glances and secretly rejoiced. They also knew the danger of this battle. If Sun Ce refused to go, they would have no way to do anything. With Sun Ce's current strength, the Mi family did not have much capital for negotiation.
Huaiyin.
Liu He strangled his mount, carried a bloody spear, and calmed his breath. Although his throat hurts and his legs are a little sore because they have been clamping the horse's belly for too long, he is in a very good mood.
"Blow the trumpet and stop the attack." Liu He issued an order.
The cavalry were still chasing, and three thousand cavalrymen, like wolves and tigers, ran back and forth, chopping down the fleeing people to the ground. Wen Chou took people to chase Zurong. As soon as the cavalry appeared, Zurong knew that the situation was not good, so he left the believers who worshiped Buddha and ran away with his confidant Danyang soldiers. This was not a battle at all, but a massacre. If they were not stopped in time, these Hu people would kill these people completely.
That was not the result that Liu He was willing to see.
Although this battle delayed some time, the results of the battle were abundant, which gave him more ideas. He could use these spoils to recruit people, or pick out strong people from these people as warriors, and the rest could serve as servants, and then he could enter the East China Sea. Donghai was his old county. Since his Emperor Gaozu Liu Jia, King Gong of Donghai, was enfeoffed in Donghai, their family had lived in Donghai for more than a hundred years, and their clans were reproduced and officials from generation to generation have not only accumulated a good reputation, but also had deep connections. He returned to Tan County and called for a high place, and many people would support him.
This is also the reason why he wanted to switch to Xuzhou, and also the reason why he rectified military discipline. If he instigated these Hu people to kill, the good reputation accumulated by his ancestors would be completely ruined.
The messenger raised his horn and whimpered. The thick horn sounded far away. The knights gradually woke up from the killing and stopped attacking one after another. Although there were still people who refused to give up, the battlefield slowly calmed down. Liu He ordered the captives and spoils to gather together, forbid the Hu cavalry to kill innocent people, otherwise the distribution of spoils would be cancelled, and the serious beheading was beheaded.
Chen Yu, who had been away from the battlefield, rushed over with a smile on his face. "Gongheng, a civil and military talent, is a god of military use, and is very happy to congratulate."
Liu He smiled. "Mr. Chen praised me and was ashamed of being accused of being accused of it. It was just some people, and there was no question of fighting. These people were so pitiful that they were deceived by Zuo Rong, and even abandoned their families and children to learn Buddhism."
"A group of fools know what Buddhism is, but they just make a living." Chen Yu curled his lips disdainfully, then realized something again, looked at Liu He, and laughed. "Gongheng, don't you pity them?"
Liu He sighed. "The world is uneasy, the people are displaced, and believing in Buddhism is just seeking peace. Although I am not a Buddha, I try my best to save a few. I just have a shallow understanding and don't know where to start. Can Mr. Chen teach me?"
Chen Yu understood. Liu He had the strength and was not satisfied with attacking Tao Qian and supporting Yuan Xi. He was from Donghai and could not be the governor of Xuzhou or the governor of Xuzhou, but he could be the prefect of the four counties and states outside Donghai County, such as Xia Pi State, and could also attack Yuzhou in the future. However, he could not do these things directly, and he needed someone to pull the needle and speak in front of Yuan Shao, otherwise Yuan Shao would doubt him.
The Chen family in Xia Pi is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, so Liu He asked him for advice, in fact, it was to get the support of the Chen family.
"What Gongheng said is very much. Xuzhou was originally a paradise with a wealthy household registration, but Tao Mu had no talent for governing the country and was powerful in military affairs, which caused resentment among the people. Gongheng adhered to his family style and was good at using troops. If you were responsible for Xuzhou's military and political affairs, the scholars and common people in Xuzhou would be as if they were to be nectar and peace would be expected. Although I have no ability, I am willing to run for Gongheng and contact the families."
Liu He smiled with satisfaction. "Then please Mr. Chen. If you can do it as you wish, you should recommend Mr. Chen to the court to the court to the present county, which is also considered to be a blessing for the county people."
Chen Yu laughed. Donghai is the largest county in Xuzhou. It has a wealthy household registration and is not far from Xia Pi. This prefect is the most comfortable and has gained both fame and fortune. Of course, Liu He has to be more attentive to give such good conditions.
