Just before Liu Yu defeated Yuan Xi.

In the far south, Sun Ce also started a new chapter in his life.

Sun Ce's life was not so good under Yuan Shu's command. Although Yuan Shu admired Sun Ce very much, he only used Sun Ce as a brave general.

Sun Ce didn't have much idea at first. He originally planned to settle down with Yuan Shu for the time being.

The expansion of Yuan Shu's power also led to friction with the surrounding princes. Sun Ce showed superior combat capabilities in various battles. At the same time, Sun Ce was handsome and liked to joke with others. He often mingled with ordinary soldiers and was deeply loved by the soldiers.

their love.

What troubled Sun Ce the most was Yuan Shu's attitude towards him.

Yuan Shu was capricious and often broke his promises. At first he promised to appoint Sun Ce as the governor of Jiujiang. However, in the end he appointed his crony Chen Ji from Danyang as the governor. Later, Yuan Shu had a conflict with Tao Qian and sent troops to attack Xuzhou and attack Lujiang.

The prefect Lu Kang asked for 30,000 hu of army rations, but Lu Kang refused to give it. Due to tactical problems, Yuan Shu failed in the battle with Tao Qian. Yuan Shu blamed the failure on Lu Kang's lack of cooperation and became angry.

He sent Sun Ce to attack Lu Kang.

Before Sun Ce sent out troops, Yuan Shu made a wish: "I used Chen Ji wrongly, which led to the defeat. I often regret that I used the wrong person. If you capture Lu Kang this time, I will guarantee that Lujiang County will be granted to you."

."

Sun Ce once visited Lu Kang when he was in Shu County. Lu Kang looked down on Sun Ce and only asked his chief clerk to receive him and did not come out to meet him. For this reason, Sun Ce held a grudge. Now that Yuan Shu has promised again, Sun Ce is naturally very happy.

He fought more bravely. Sun Ce was unstoppable, beheaded Lu Kang in Lujiang, and easily captured the entire territory of Lujiang.

Sun Ce was happily preparing to take office as the governor of Lujiang in Lujiang. However, Yuan Shu went against his promise again and appointed his old subordinate Liu Xun as the governor of Lujiang. Sun Ce was more and more disappointed with Yuan Shu's ruthlessness and unrighteousness, and he was completely unable to do so anymore.

I believe in Yuan Shu, and I always think about how to get rid of Yuan Shu every day.

Liu Yao of Yangzhou also had a huge conflict with Yuan Shu. Liu Yao served as the governor of Yangzhou. The past administrative seat of Yangzhou was Shouchun, but Shouchun had been occupied by Yuan Shu and established a administrative office in Qu'a. Liu Yao was also a famous person.

The ambitious man was thinking about how to capture Shouchun every day. At the same time, Liu Yao was also worried about his growing strength.

Yuan Shu would annex him. In order to preemptively attack Yuan Shu, Liu Yao took the lead in sending troops to attack Yuan Shu and stationed troops in Hengjiang. Yuan Shu was furious and sent his confidant Hui Qu to lead 80,000 troops to fight with him. Unfortunately, Hui Qu was incompetent and had no way to help Liu Yao.

This caused trouble, and the two sides faced off across the river for a long time, with no result.

Sun Ce, who was very keen on fighting opportunities, found a good opportunity to form an independent army and break away from Yuan Shu, and made a special trip to Yuan Shu to request a fight for this matter.

Sun Ce said to Yuan Shu: "I am willing to lead troops to conquer Hengjiang. After Hengjiang is conquered, the general can recruit young men locally, and he should be able to recruit 20,000 to 30,000 people. As long as they are trained, these troops will become powerful under the general's command.

Combat power and contribute to the general’s great cause.”

Yuan Shu knew that Sun Ce was dissatisfied with him and that he could no longer use him as he had done in the past few times. But Yuan Shu believed that Liu Yao occupied Qu'a and Wang Lang occupied Kuaiji. The two men were very powerful, no matter how strong Sun Ce was in combat.

, in terms of military strength

The huge disparity between them could not make Sun Ce feel comfortable. So Yuan Shu agreed to his request and pretended to return Sun Ce's old troops that he had brought before. He did not even give him the most basic food and grass, and he made it clear that he would not give him back.

Sun Ce has opportunities for development.

Sun Ce no longer cares about Yuan Shu's views and attitude towards him. Being able to break away from Yuan Shu is his biggest thought now.

After leaving Yuan Shu, Sun Ce's heart was full of pride. Now he was like a tiger that escaped from the cage, unstoppable. Along the way, people kept coming to vote, and Sun Ce's team continued to grow. When they arrived in Liyang, they had expanded to nearly 10,000 people. Sun Ce

Write a letter to inform your friends about the news of Dongjin

Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu led troops out to greet Sun Ce and sponsored military rations. This greatly solved Sun Ce's problem of insufficient food and grass due to the expansion of the army. Zhou Yu has known Sun Ce since childhood, and their relationship is very close, no different from the two brothers. Now Sun Ce needs his own help.

Of course Zhou Yu would not let him down.

Sun Ce patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said, "Gong Jin, you are the one who can help me the most at this critical moment."

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Bo Fu, how can I let you, a guy with strong limbs and a simple mind, go out and conquer the world by yourself? If I don't watch you by your side, who knows when you will die."

Sun Ce held Zhou Yu's hand and said excitedly: "Then let the two of us join forces and let all the princes in the world know the abilities of our two brothers. Let's fight for hegemony together!"

"That's right, now is the time for the two of us." Zhou Yu held Sun Ce's hand.

Cheng Pu and others looked at young Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, as if they had seen the scene of their young selves meeting Sun Jian in the past, and sighed that Sun Jian had someone to succeed him.

With the provisions and troops provided by Zhou Yu, Sun Ce immediately led his troops across the river, with Zhou Yu at his side to advise him, and attacked Hengjiang, taking advantage of it, and captured it one after another. Liu Yao's subordinates Fan Neng and Zhang Ying were unable to withstand Sun Ce's attack and were directly defeated.

.Then, Sun Ce attacked continuously and was invincible. No one could resist his sharpness. Moreover, Sun Ce's army had strict military discipline and the people also supported it.

With the support of Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others, Sun Ce crossed the river from Liyang and prepared to attack Liu Yao who occupied Niuzhu camp. Facing Sun Ce's attack, Liu Yao was a little disdainful. Yuan Shu's many troops did not take him

How about how capable young Sun Ce is? Anyway, Liu Yao didn’t take Sun Ce seriously at all. With this mentality, Liu Yao suffered a big loss. Liu Yao

He never expected that the young Sun Ce would be so powerful in combat, and the attack power of his troops was so terrifying. In the end, Liu Yao was defeated by Sun Ce and fled in panic to Dantu. Sun Ce took the opportunity to capture Niuzhu camp and seize the opportunity.

All the food, weapons and equipment in the warehouse that Liu Yao had not had time to take away were able to enrich the combat power of his troops, and their military strength was greatly improved.

Taking advantage of the great victory, Sun Ce rushed forward with his army and successfully occupied Qu'a. Of course, Liu Yao would not let Sun Ce continue to be arrogant and sent his general Taishi Ci to counterattack Sun Ce. Taishi Ci's bravery impressed the equally brave Sun Ce. Taishi

Ci caused trouble for Sun Ce. Taishi Ci and one of his cavalry faced Sun Ce's thirteen cavalry. Taishi Ci and Sun Ce dueled alone. Sun Ce snatched Taishi Ci's halberd, and Taishi Ci snatched Sun Ce's helmet. Later, reinforcements from both sides arrived.

Stop the troops.

Sun Ce suffered his first defeat since his march, but he did not complain at all. Cheng Pu and others were worried that Sun Ce would be angry because of this, but they did not expect that Sun Ce looked very happy.

"It's really rare that there are such warriors in the world." Sun Ce said happily. Sun Ce was very confident in his martial arts, but he didn't expect Taishi Ci to be able to tie with him, and the fighting spirit in his heart became even stronger.

Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce wanted to conquer Taishi Ci, so he said: "Since Bo Fu values ​​​​so much, I will let my younger brother design a plan to get Taishi Ci over."

"Gong Jin, come quickly." Sun Ce said hurriedly.

Zhou Yu leaned into Sun Ce's ear and told him his countermeasures.

Sun Ce's eyes lit up when he heard this. Cheng Pu and other veterans didn't know what the two men were discussing.

In the next few days, rumors spread among Liu Yao's army that Tai Shi Ci wanted to betray Liu Yao and join Sun Ce. Liu Yao, who was already under great pressure from Sun Ce's attack, was very concerned about this rumor and summoned Tai Shi Ci to come.

Question. Taishi Ci, who has always been loyal and loyal

He felt that he had been insulted, but the rumors were so well-founded that Taishi Ci could not explain it. Forced to do so, Taishi Ci used actions to prove his innocence. Taishi Ci came to Sun Ce's army alone to challenge him. Liu Yao followed with a large army.

Later.

Sun Ce followed Zhou Yu's plan and did not fight Taishi Ci. Sun Ce kept revealing in his words that Taishi Ci would join him in destroying Liu Yao, deliberately making Liu Yao suspicious of Taishi Ci. Liu Yao didn't believe it at first, but

Sun Ce and Taishi Ci fought several times, but both seemed to show mercy. Finally, he had to believe that Taishi Ci had collaborated with Sun Ce, so Liu Yao expelled Taishi Ci.

Liu Yao destroyed the Great Wall and expelled Tai Shi Ci, who was finally subdued by Sun Ce. Liu Yao's stupidity allowed Sun Ce to gain a strong general in vain. Without Tai Shi Ci, Liu Yao would not have been able to resist Sun Ce's attack and was defeated again.

Escape.

Sun Ce continued to march towards the core area of ​​Yangzhou, and the people panicked.

At first, when the people heard that Sun Ce's troops had arrived, they were frightened, disoriented, and couldn't avoid it. Local officials often abandoned the city and hid in the grass. Later, people gradually discovered that wherever Sun Ce's army went, the sergeants

They strictly obeyed the general's orders and did not dare to rob the people. They had chickens, dogs and vegetables, and no offense was committed. So the people were very happy and competed with each other to reward the troops with cattle and wine.

Sun Ce rewarded the officers with labor and issued a proclamation, telling the subordinate counties: "No one will be asked about Liu Yao's villagers and subordinates who come to surrender; those who are willing to join the army can join the army, and their whole family will be exempted from taxes and corvee; if they do not want to join the army, they will not be forced to do so."

."

After the proclamation was issued, followers came from all directions. In a short time, they had recruited more than 20,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 horses. From then on, Sun Ce's reputation was powerful in Jiangdong. Soon, Liu Yao gave up his discipleship again.

Fleeing west, Sun Ce captured Wu Commandery.

At the same time, Zhu Zhi attacked Wu County from Qiantang. Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, resisted Zhu Zhi in Youquan. Zhu Zhi defeated Xu Gong, and Xu Gong fled and attached himself to the bandit Yan Baihu. Zhu Zhi then acted as the prefect of Wu County.

Liu Yao made a last-ditch effort and launched a counterattack against Sun Ce. However, the situation was completely in Sun Ce's hands, and Liu Yao's counterattack was like a moth flying into a flame, bringing about his own destruction.

After Liu Yao was eliminated, only Wang Lang of Kuaiji remained in Jiangdong.

After a great battle, Sun Ce captured Wang Lang alive and unified the entire Yangzhou. His fighting style was so brave that people compared him with the former Xiang Yu, and he was known as the "Little Overlord".
