Chapter 79 Return of Taishi Ci

"I didn't expect that I saw the wrong person today. Taishi Ci betrayed me! Go out and look for him. Taishi Ci must have gone to Yuzhang. You lead people to chase him. You must bring Taishi Ci back! I want to ask him personally. I

Isn’t it bad for him? Why should he betray me?!”

Sun Ce was furious, punched the case with his fist, and shouted sternly.

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others had never seen Sun Ce so angry, so they immediately agreed in unison and led their troops out of the camp to find and pursue Taishi Ci.

After Zhang Zhao heard about it, he hurriedly came to Sun Ce and said, "General, Taishi Ci has probably returned to Qingzhou."

"Tai Shi Ci has the ambition to help the world. I think he should have joined Liu Zhengli and not just returned home. I trusted him because I thought he was a man of faith and would not let me down in the end. I never expected that he would betray me."

Let’s go!”

There was a lot of reluctance and resentment in Sun Ce's words.

Needless to say, Taishi Ci's military prowess was on par with Sun Ce's. He was also a courageous and resourceful man. If he was chosen as a general, he would be as powerful as a tiger.

Now that Taishi Ci has escaped, Sun Ce has not only lost a brave general, but also gained a powerful enemy. If he escapes to Yuzhang and allows Liu Yao to reuse him, it may not be so easy to seize Yuzhang in the future.

Zhang Zhao shook his head slightly and said: "I don't think so. Liu Zhengli is a man with the same name. He couldn't reuse Taishi Ci before, and he won't reuse him now. Although Taishi Ci was a general who pretended to surrender, he was once defeated and captured, and he surrendered again.

Liu Zhengli must be jealous of the name of his enemy and will never entrust him with troops."

"Does the general know about Liu Xuande?" Zhang Zhao suddenly asked.

"But Liu Bei and Liu Xuande lost Xuzhou? What does this have to do with Liu Xuande?" Of course Sun Ce had heard of Liu Bei.

"It is said that after Lu Bu attacked Tapi, Liu Xuande was willing to surrender the state and left Xuzhou for Qingzhou. Now he is the prefect of Donglai. Liu Xuande annihilated the Yellow Turban bandits in Donglai and treated the people of Donglai with tax cuts and exemptions. He was very popular and benevolent.

The reputation spreads far and wide!"

Zhang Zhao paused for a moment, and then said: "Liu Xuande was willing to let the big states and rebel against the counties. Although he had no choice but to show his ambition. Without ambition, it is difficult to give up the great benefits. He succeeded in suppressing the bandits in Donglai, and like Cao Cao, he accepted

The Yellow Turban thieves were soldiers. Wang Xiu and Liu Zheng were wise and righteous people in Qingzhou, and they were accepted by them. It can be seen that their intention was not just to defend the county, but also to seize the state."

"Taishici is from Donglai, and he is a wise, righteous and brave man. How could Liu Xuande let him go! Now the people coming from Qingzhou must be sent by Liu Xuande to persuade Taishi Ci to return to Donglai to serve him, so I guess

Taishi Ci must go north."

Sun Ce nodded frequently. He also had the ambition to compete for the world, so he naturally understood what it meant for Liu Bei to give up Xuzhou and go to Donglai.

In particular, what Liu Bei did in Donglai, whether it was suppressing bandits, reducing or exempting taxes, or recruiting refugees to work in the fields, were all aimed at winning the hearts and minds of the people and promoting benevolence.

Liu Bei also recruited the Yellow Turban thieves as soldiers to strengthen the army. His intention was naturally to seize Qingzhou and compete in the world in the future!

"What Zibu said is that Liu Xuande is good at recruiting scholars and has great ambitions. If Taishi Ziyi is the best, he will definitely be our strong enemy in the future!"

Sun Ce immediately sent Chen Wu and Dong Xi to lead his troops to pursue them north.

"I heard that one of Liu Xuande's military advisors once said, 'Xuzhou is a place that treats envoys well. A defeated general can still find a place to live, but how can an envoy from Rangzhou be left without a seat?' when he was sent to meet Lu Bu as an envoy." This man was very young.

, seems to be from Xuzhou, does Zibu know this person?"

When Zhou Xing met Lu Bu, his ridicule for not having a seat spread, and even Sun Ce knew about it.

However, at that time, Zhou Xing was just an envoy on behalf of Liu Bei and did not attract much attention.

Zhang Zhao thought for a moment and replied: "I heard that he is from Xiapi, but I have never heard of his name before. I also heard that Liu Xuande defeated the thieves in Donglai because of this man's strategy. Liu Xuande also

With the bravery of the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it is very easy to defeat the thieves. If Tai Shici returns to Donglai and joins forces with Liu Xuande, the one who will compete with the general for Xuzhou in the future will definitely be Liu Xuande!"

"I heard that Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong, sent 10,000 troops to cross the sea to capture Donglai. If it is easy for Liu Xuande to defeat the Liaodong soldiers, there will definitely be a place for this man in the world in the future!" Zhang Zhao sighed again.

Zhang Zhao's words made Sun Ce feel very uncomfortable. Today's princes, not to mention Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family have disciples and old officials all over the world. They are the heads of the famous families in the world, and all the children of the famous families want to go to Yuan.

Since Cao Cao captured Yanzhou and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans as soldiers, he organized them into the Qingzhou Army, which greatly increased their strength. He attacked Xuzhou twice, and now he has pacified the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan and Runan. I heard that he also led troops to Luoyang to protect the emperor. This man will definitely be in the future.

He is one of the powerful enemies.

And Liu Bei has gained power in Qingzhou, with many brave generals under his command and the assistance of wise men. As a result, it will be even more difficult for Sun Ce to compete in the world in the future!

Although Sun Ce felt uncomfortable, he believed that he had the ability to compete in the world. Now he has won three of the six counties of Yangzhou. As long as he gets Yuzhang County and separates from Yuan Shu, he can win the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang.

After capturing the whole of Yangzhou, we can go west to capture Jingzhou or north to capture Xuzhou. If we capture these two states, it will be much easier to conquer the world.

Sun Ce waited for two days and sent out several groups of troops to chase and search, but Taishi Ci was nowhere to be seen.

The people chasing to the west first saw two people galloping on their horses and thought they were Taishi Ci and people from Qingzhou. As a result, the two people ran south again and chased for more than a hundred miles before catching up. However, they found that these two people had nothing to do.

It's not Taishi Ci, but two people from Xuzhou.

Tai Shici and Tai Shiyuan hurried together day and night, and successfully crossed the river from Danyang to Jiujiang.

I originally planned to go north from Jiujiang to Guangling, Xuzhou, and then go all the way back to Qingzhou.

As a result, Yuan Shu set up checkpoints everywhere in Jiujiang, and the interrogation was very strict. The two of them were afraid that their identities would be discovered, so they had to go south to Lujiang, then westward from Lujiang to Runan, and then from Runan to Pei State, and then to Mount Tai of Lu State, etc.

County, arrived at Langya, then arrived at Beihai, Qingzhou.

The road took a long detour, so by the time they returned to Qingzhou, Liu Bei had defeated the Liaodong soldiers and the Liaodong soldiers had retreated.

When he first entered Beihai, Taishi Ci saw many people heading towards Donglai with their old and young children in their arms. He couldn't help but feel strange. When he stepped forward to inquire, he found out that these people had heard that Donglai had no thieves and there were fields to farm, but the pirates in Beihai had invaded the area.

But there were more and more people, so the whole family fled to Donglai.

"Is Donglai really free of thieves?"

Taishi Ci couldn't believe it.

He knew what the situation in Donglai was like. Not only was it far away from the capital, it was even far away from the prefecture. It had never been taken seriously by the court and the governor. It was precisely because of this that bandits in Donglai were so rampant.

But now, I have only left Donglai for a few years, but I heard that there are no bandits in Donglai County.

Taishi Ci knew that this was the result of Liu Bei's suppression of bandits, but he still had some doubts in his heart. He thought that Liu Bei had only wiped out some of the bandits and the situation was much better than before. Therefore, the people rumored that there were no bandits in Donglai.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for the people to live without thieves!

With questions in their hearts, Tai Shici and Tai Shiyuan returned to their home in Donglai County and met their old mother.
