Chapter 538 Prisoners of War
Unlike Chen Deng who could only insist that "I have an imperial edict." Sun Quan said so confidently and had famous scholars from all over the world testified. Even if Sun Quan did not have an imperial edict at this time, everyone could not help but feel that Sun Quan's words were more credible.
This is how people in the world are. The truth doesn't matter. They only believe what they believe.
Originally, the soldiers on Chen Deng were very unfavorable. Now, even Dayi and Zhengming no longer seem to be there. Do these soldiers still need to continue to follow Chen Deng? Will fighting for such Chen Deng be meaningless to die, and even bear a stigma after death?
"Listen to everyone across the street!"
Sun Quan raised his arms and shouted,
"Of course, it also includes you Chen Deng. You are surrendering. I promise not to hurt your lives. I believe you did not know about this crime of forging imperial edicts in advance. However, I have already told the truth through now. If you are still obsessed with it, it would be a crime to know the law and a great crime to deceive the king. Not only will you suffer, but I will compare your identities one by one after another. When I take charge of Guangling, I will definitely settle it!" Sun Quan's words were full of warnings and intimidation.
"Don't listen to him! I am the real prefect of Guangling! It is him who committed the crime of deceiving the king! It is him!"
On the opposite side, Chen Deng quickly turned around and explained heart-wrenchingly to the soldiers and generals behind him.
Next to him, some of Chen Deng’s confidants also took the lead in saying,
"I believe Lord Chen Deng! Lord Chen Deng is definitely not that kind of person!"
However, on this side, Sun Quan would not give the other party time to shake the consideration.
"bow!"
Sun Quan signaled that all five hundred cavalrymen took out their bows and arrows.
"lift!"
The bow and arrow are raised and aimed at the diagonally above. This parabolic route will soon cause another damage to the soldiers opposite.
Seeing Sun Quan's actions, the soldiers on the other side suddenly became panicked.
"I surrender! I surrender!"
"Don't kill me!"
"We don't know anything!"
One person took the lead, and one after another, someone put down his weapons one after another.
Seeing this, Chen Deng looked as if he was dead and knew that everything was over. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said nothing. Without warning, he suddenly turned his horse's head and fled back.
No matter what, as long as he can go back, there is still hope!
"You guys are here to guard him, I'll chase him."
Sun Quan smiled coldly,
"drive!"
He rode a horse and flew out of the team quickly. He took out the longbow on his back calmly. Sun Quan didn't believe that someone could get one horse and one horse out of his equipment, and he had a Qilin bow.
"Protect your sir!"
After Chen Deng escaped, seeing that Sun Quan was about to chase him, several Chen Deng's confidants immediately rode their horses toward Sun Quan, trying to stop him. However, before they got close, Sun Quan shot out several arrows and several horses fell down. In this fast moving state, Sun Quan could do the same thing, which was really shocking everyone.
Seeing that the commander of his side was so brave, all the five hundred cavalry shouted with great momentum. On the other hand, the soldiers on Chen Deng's side actually fled and lost their fighting spirit.
So, no one secretly attacked Sun Quan, and Sun Quan successfully rode his horse past the enemy troops.
"Hahaha, Chen Deng, the people's hearts are lost, what's the use of you running away?" Sun Quan said with a smile.
On the horse in front of him, Chen Deng turned around and saw that no one of his soldiers helped to intercept Sun Quan. He was discouraged for a moment and his face turned pale.
"Sun Quan! Do you really want to kill everyone!" Chen Deng roared.
"I said, if you don't run, I will never kill you. But now..." As the two got closer, Sun Quan took a bow again. Although Sun Quan was not riding a famous horse now, adding one horse can increase the strength of the horse, allowing the horse to persist even if it is injured. Reducing one horse can reduce the running-in between Sun Quan and the horse, indirectly improves Sun Quan's riding skills, and almost reaches the state of unity of man and horse. In comparison, Chen Deng rode over to sneak attack at the beginning, and then escaped now, the horse under him was somewhat tired, and his speed was naturally far inferior to Sun Quan.
call out!
Cold arrows flew past.
With the scream of the horse in front of him, Chen Deng fell from the horse's back. He was so elegant that he was completely embarrassed at this time.
"The king succeeds and the enemy loses, kill me."
Chen Deng lay on the ground, without begging for mercy or surrender.
"Oh? Why are you determined to die?" Sun Quan drove forward and looked at Chen Deng condescendingly, "It seems that there is no deep hatred between you and me, right?"
"Although you and I have no deep hatred, your Sun family and my Chen family have great hatred!" Chen Deng replied in a deep voice.
Sun Quan shook his head and sighed. It was indeed the same as Zhu Zhi said at the beginning. Sun Ce destroyed Chen Yu and stopped the Chen family from rising, and had already formed a deep hatred with the Chen family.
"Chen Deng, I think you are also a talented person. Why don't you think about it? Once you surrender to me, your future achievements will not be worse than those under Lu Bu or Cao Cao. As long as you Chen Deng are still here, why worry about the Chen family's rise?" Sun Quan said.
This time, Chen Deng's unexpected attack made Sun Quan more determined that Chen Deng is a talent. To be honest, if I had not allowed me to think about my magical skills twice, Sun Quan would never dare to catch up in reality. In this way, he would have fallen into Chen Deng's plan and gave Chen Deng enough time to make arrangements.
Hearing Sun Quan's words, Chen Deng's eyes were shocked and puzzled, and he sighed in his mind that Sun Quan had indeed guessed that he had defected to Cao Cao. No wonder he had deliberately said that before. Sun Quan believed that he did not dare to expose it, so he was speechless. However,
"The Chen family is not my own Chen family. My father and several younger brothers are in Xiapi. If I surrender to the Sun family, where will they be placed? Do you think Lu Bu will let them go?" Chen Deng sighed, "You don't have to worry about it anymore. If you want to kill and cut it, I will never surrender."
Hearing Chen Deng's words, Sun Quan couldn't help but smile.
So that's it. Chen Deng is a family. As long as he has weaknesses, it's easy to deal with. Yes, if you think about it carefully, since Chen Deng is hostile to the Sun family because of Chen Yu's affairs, it means that he is a person who cares very much about the family and puts the interests of the family above his own interests. For such a person, as long as he can grasp his weaknesses, he can control him well.
Lu Bu is stupid. Although he also controls the Chen family, he trusts them too much. As for hostages, you must treat them completely as hostages and not be led by the hostages.

Leave the fantasy and return to the scene,
Since this illusion simulation was very successful and gave Sun Quan great confidence, Sun Quan did not act like a new commander, commanding very freely. From top to bottom, his confidence infected everyone.
Afterwards, Sun Quan directly followed the development in the illusion, took a small number of light cavalry and went to pursue Chen Deng's troops who retreated normally rather than retreating.
After Chen Deng escaped alone and was captured alive by Sun Quan, he tied Chen Deng back. On this side, Chen Deng and other troops who gave up resistance were all detained by Wu Jing, who hurriedly crossed the river and chased him.
"Zhongmou, don't take such risks again in the future, okay?"
Wu Jing ran to Sun Quan and smiled bitterly. To be honest, this sneak attack did not scare him, but Sun Quan's behavior scared Wu Jing very much. (To be continued)
