Sun Ce thought about it for a long time but still couldn't find a feasible solution, so he simply put it aside and went to pick up Sun Jian first.

He stood up and made a gesture. Ma Chao immediately greeted excitedly, "Go away, go." He asked Sun Ce again, "General, who are you going to chase?"

"No one chases."

Ma Chao suddenly lost his face. "If you don't chase him, will you let them run away like this?"

Sun Ce ignored him, walked to the ox cart, and looked at Wen Chou. Wen Chou was kidnapped by Pang De, his wounds were cracked, he lost too much blood, and he was dying. He thought he would die, but he didn't expect that this person's life was really hard, he was not dead, and he kept breathing.

"General, cut it down. Just like him, he will be a useless person after he is rescued. He is less than forty years old." Ma Chao followed and complained: "Ling Ming, you are really, why are you bringing it back? Wouldn't it be more convenient to bring a head?"

Pang De didn't say a word. Sun Ce disagreed with Ma Chao's opinion. If you killed him at that time, you would have killed him. It is normal to die on the battlefield. Even if he was just injured by accident, it would be inhumane to kill him now. Even if he threw him in a swamp and waited for death, it would be better than killing him directly.

"Go to find a car nearby and take him with you."

Ma Chao curled his lips and looked at Pang De. "You can find a way to solve the problem you are causing."

Pang De responded muffled and turned to the Mu Mu Pavilion. After a while, he came back with a ox cart. The cart was covered with straw, and there was a handful of grass ash under the straw, and a handful of tucks beside it. Sun Ce saw it and said nothing, but he had a little impression of Pang De's carefulness. Wen Chou's wound was still bleeding, and grass ash could suck blood. The tucks were dug soil. It was probably that if Wen Chou died, he would bury him so that he would not expose his body to the wilderness. When he met by chance, he was both enemies and us, which was also the fulfillment of benevolence.

Not far away, Sun Ce met Han Dang. After discovering that Yuan Tan had withdrew his troops, Sun Jian sent Han Dang out of the camp to reconnaissance. It was not difficult to determine where Yuan Tan was going, but it took a little time to find Sun Ce.

"How is my Ahon?" Sun Ce asked.

"Of course it's good." Han Dang smiled and said, "I thought I would lose all this time, but I didn't expect that the general came so much that he stunned Yuan Tan and reversed the situation."

Sun Ce was very surprised and turned his head to look at Han Dang. Han Dang was sincerely happy, his handsome face was filled with excitement, and there was no sign of depressedness or depression. Seeing Sun Ce looking at him, Han Dang understood and couldn't help laughing. "Don't worry, Junhou has never lost a battle, it's much worse than this. As long as he doesn't die, he has a chance to make a fortune. If he suffers some losses, he regrets and blames himself. If he seeks death, how can Junhou be here to this day?"

Sun Ce laughed silently. He was worried that Sun Jian would be in a bad mood when he was hit by this blow, but he forgot how Sun Jian got along the way. In terms of ability to resist strikes, Sun Jian was much better than him. He was worried about Sun Jian just because he was worried about it.

After letting go of his psychological burden, Sun Ce felt much more relaxed. He walked northward and came to Sun Jian's camp, and met Zhu Zhi. Zhu Zhi was packing the camp and preparing for evacuation. When Sun Ce asked, he realized that Sun Jian had followed Yuan Tan with Huang Gai and two thousand soldiers with combat power. He wanted to chase him, but then he thought about it and let it go, but just let Han Dang go for reinforcements.

After waiting for most of the day, in the evening, Sun Jian and Han Dang returned. Although Yuan Tan retreated, the arrangements were made very carefully, especially Cheng Yu, with a strict camp. Sun Jian did not find any opportunity. He watched Cheng Yu cross the Sishui River, demolished the floating bridge, and retreated.

When the bonfire was lit, the father and son sat opposite each other, there was no delicious food, only some rice balls and beef.

"What are your plans?" Sun Jian asked on his own initiative.

"I originally wanted to take Changyi, but Yuan Tan was very stable and had little chance." Sun Ce said: "What are the plans of Ahweng?"

"I'm not very good at making plans." Sun Jian said: "I'm still quite used to implementing plans. At the beginning, I heard from Governor Zang when I was confronted by Xu Zhao, when I was confronted by the Yellow Turban, when I was confronted by Gong Zhu, and when I was confronted by General Yuan. Now General Yuan has entrusted you with the funeral, so you will naturally have to take on this responsibility. Yuzhou has already made me feel overwhelmed, let alone the entire Central Plains."

Sun Jian bit a piece of meat, chewed it slowly, and smiled bitterly: "These families cannot be killed, nor can they not be killed. I really don't know what to do with it."

Sun Ce nodded. "Okay, leave the family matters to me. After taking Hulu, you will go back to Pei County to rest first. If the war is necessary, I will send someone to inform you."

"You want to take Shanyang?"

"Try it, there's no confidence." Sun Ce scratched his head. "Yuan Tan retreated too quickly, with limited losses. With the replenishment of food, the military can recover its vitality. It's more than enough to defend the city. We have no advantage in our military strength. The weather is getting warmer and the rain increases, which is not conducive to marching and fighting. We can only wait for autumn before talking about it."

Sun Jian sighed, revealing envy. "Yes, there are disciples and officials everywhere in the Yuan family. There are so many people who want to vote for them. They want money and people, but they don't look like us. If you save thousands of people, you're already struggling."

Sun Ce smiled. "Aweng, too many people may not be a good thing. You may be united as one, or you may have ulterior motives. If there were too many people, you could win, and the Qin State would not have been the one who unified the world at the beginning."

Sun Jian laughed and nodded repeatedly. "It's reasonable, it's reasonable." He touched Sun Yi's head. "Boy, have you heard that you have to learn from your elder brother in the future. Be more polite to the scholars. Don't just know how to fight bravely."

Sun Yi nodded vigorously. "Well, Ahon, I understand."

The next day, Yan Xing led his troops to arrive and brought the latest news.

Guo Jia led the main force to Hulu, but Hulu ordered Lu Qian to refuse to surrender, and Guo Jia was deploying a siege. After Sun Ce asked, he realized that Lu Su and Dong Xi had not yet divided his troops. Guo Jia planned to divide his troops after taking Hulu, otherwise there would be only 10,000 people to attack the city. He was worried that the troops would be insufficient and the losses would be greater.

Sun Ce sighed secretly. The fighter shots were fleeting. If Cao Ang really went to Rencheng or Lu State as he expected, it would be unlikely that Lu Su and the others would want to detour Rencheng now. However, this is not a big deal for Guo Jia. The battlefield situation has changed rapidly, and it is impossible for the scouts to maintain timely communication, not to mention that this is still in the enemy territory. Guo Jia did not know the situation here, and could only judge based on the situation he faced. He could not let the lake and land not attack to capture Rencheng.

Sun Ce immediately rushed to Hulu and met Guo Jia.

After meeting, before they had time to communicate, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Do you know that Xin Zhuozhi is injured?"

"Because of me?" Sun Ce was very surprised. He seemed not to have hurt Xinpi at that time, and he regretted it for a long time. Why did he let Xinpi go so far? At least he should have used the Overlord to kill him.

"It should be that he was seriously injured. If it weren't for Hua Tuo, he might have died."

Sun Ce felt a little relieved, exchanged the situation, and then asked Guo Jia: "What should we do now, wait?"

Guo Jia did not think about it. "Take Hulu first, then Changyi."

"Changyi?"
