Danyang, west of Jingxian, among the mountains.

Matun was built in the deep valley to avoid the government and in order to avoid the government, the people of Danyang Mountain chose mountains in the deep valleys. The terrain was extremely steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it also formed a horn with the protection gate, which was actually not easy to obtain.

Sun Yi, the prefect of Danyang, along with General Xu Kun of Pinglu, Pan Zhang of Wumeng, and other famous generals from Jiangdong, led a large army to siege for fifty or sixty days, but still failed to capture Matun.

However, after a long siege, Matun was at the end of his strength. In the first month of the ninth year of Jian'an (204 AD), Zhou Yu, who retreated to Chungu, re-arranged defense, was ordered by Sun Quan to send troops south to help Sun Yi quell the rebellion.

The arrival of Zhou Yu's reinforcements made the Matun defenders lose their souls, and the morale of the Jiangdong army greatly boosted. Sun Yi took the opportunity to select elite troops, use Pan Zhang as the attacking commander, and work with Zhou Yu's army to attack with all their might.

Pan Zhang lost Nanchang before, and felt that he had no face to return to Wu to see Sun Quan, so he stayed in Danyang to help Sun Yi fight against mahjong, protect the thief, and made meritorious in order to commit crimes.

However, Pan Zhang was eager to make achievements. He was the first to be the official and soldier every time he attacked, especially the last time. Because of his fierce attack, he was caught in a siege and was once in a critical moment. Fortunately, he fought desperately to rescue him, so he was able to escape and recovered for more than a month.

Originally, Sun Yi did not intend to use Pan Zhang as a general this time. Pan Zhang was unwilling to let the emperor down, so he asked to go into battle with his wounded. His words were generous and excited. Sun Yi was also a person with a temperament. He deeply admired Pan Zhang's actions. He immediately disagreed with the public and appointed Pan Zhang as his general to attack Matun.

Pan Zhang also did not disappoint Sun Yi's expectations. Although his injuries had not healed, his courage became stronger. He held his arms and practiced, and personally led his men to advance to the city. From the day to the evening, he conquered Matun in one fell swoop.

"Matun is broken! Matun is broken!" As Matun is opened, the soldiers of Jiangdong Army siege burst into cheers that echoed through the valley, and then flocked into the trough and killed and plundered. Matun became a purgatory on earth for a time.

"Otherwise." Gui Lan said: "Ma, the two thieves of Bao, have always been led by Matun. When Matun comes, Baotun will lose his courage and ambition. I believe that within ten months, you will be able to win and return to the army."

"So that's it." Guichi suddenly realized that his brother Guilan, as Sheng Xian's former official, was trying every means to avenge the Lord, let alone Sheng Kuang, as the son of man, had turned to Liu Jing, which was completely reasonable.

In the next few days, as Gui Lan's judgment, the thieves of Baotun learned that Matun had lost their battles and had no fighting spirit. Before Sun Yixing's army came to attack, they took the initiative to abandon the tun and leave, trying to escape into the mountains to hide.

After hearing this, Sun Yi was very helpful and said with a reserved attitude: "The poem says: 'Half of those who travel a hundred miles is ninety." Although Matun is still there, the protection is still there. Now it is too early to quell the thieves and chaos."

Sheng Kuang calmed down a little and replied: "I resigned from my post as a state at the end of last year and became a general of Annan."

After the celebration, Xu Kun led his troops to Wu, and Zhou Yu's army returned to Chungu. At the same time, Guilan and Dai also secretly sent an envoy to Yuzhang, intending to contact Liu Jing.

In February, when Guilan was secretly sneaking into Yuzhang, the envoy Dai captured the Jingzhou army scout. The envoy explained his purpose. Gao Xiang, who was responsible for guarding the county border, dared not ignore it, and immediately sent a team of troops to escort him to Nanchang.

"Ziye..." As soon as Sheng Kuang saw the visitor, he immediately stood up and blurted out.

Sun Yi was arrogant and arrogant. When he was in Wujun, he was often arrogant and brave enough to be inferior to his elder brother Sun Ce. He was enough to be on the battlefield. He was only afraid of his second brother Sun Quan and did not get the opportunity to perform.

Now that he has left Danyang to deal with a small Matun thief, he has almost exhausted him. The Matun thief is so difficult to deal with, let alone Liu Jing? Sun Yi's arrogance has been greatly reduced since then, and he dares not be as ignorant as he used to be, and regards all the heroes in the world as nothing.

Zhuge Liang received Gao Xiang's report and attached great importance to it. He secretly received the visitor, with only Xu Shu, Yang Yi and Sheng Kuang accompanying him.

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Sun Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said to his left and right: "In the past, both brothers had told me about Ma, and it was difficult to obtain the danger of protecting Ertun. I didn't agree with it at that time. Now I personally attacked Ma and protecting the thief, and only then did I realize what my brother said was true."

The visitor was not someone else, but Gui Lan's younger brother Gui Zheng. Although his talent, virtue and fame were not as good as his brother, he was also a master of Wu County. In the past, Sheng Xian attached great importance to the Gui brothers and promoted them, and Sheng Kuang was also friendly with the two.

Ma, Baoertun raised troops to cause chaos, which certainly destroyed Sun Yi's plan to rescue Yu Zhang, but also hindered his conspiracy with Dai Yuanxi Ying Liu Jing.

"Didn't Brother Zun work in Hefei Prefecture? Why did he appear here?" Gui Zhengzun was also surprised to see his long-lost friend.

In the middle of the first month, Sun Yi led his army back to the county city of Wanling, Ma, to protect the thieves' property. He did not take any of them, and distributed them all to the officials and soldiers. The soldiers were overjoyed and all said "Long Live". Sun Yi's move greatly won the morale of the army and his prestige rose sharply.

Sun Yi had expected that he would send troops to pursue him as soon as possible, and he won a complete victory. He beheaded thousands of prisoners and was equally similar. He obtained all his baggage and property and returned.

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were nestled in the deep mountains for more than two months. After a long battle, people were angry. Now that they have achieved success, the soldiers naturally have to vent their feelings.

When Sun Yi heard this, he was happy and couldn't help laughing and said, "Hope is as Guardian said."

"The two thieves of Ma and Bao have been entrenched in Danyang for many years, and have been rebellious (Sun Ce), and have been attacking the enemy (Sun Quan) for several attempts but cannot be determined. Instead, the thieves are on the rise. The thieves are weak and the army is fighting against the enemy. The victory is passed back to Wu, and the name of the thieves will shake Jiangdong." Gui Lan also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she praised Sun Yi against her will.

Sheng Kuang couldn't wait to ask: "Ziye had said before that if he wanted to see the person in charge, he would discuss something big, but he didn't know what big thing was?"

In fact, Sheng Kuang had already guessed the purpose of Gui Zheng coming here, and immediately introduced Zhuge Liang to Gui Zheng and said, "This is the military advisor Zhuge who is the governor of Yangzhou and is a general manager of Jiangdong affairs. If Ziye has anything to say."

With Sun Ben's death, Zhuge Liang is now intimidating Jiangdong. He can stop his children from crying at night. He is solemn and handsome. He politely respected Zhuge Liang and said slowly: "The King of Shengfu is worthy of Jiangdong. He is deeply jealous of the Sun brothers. He is killed innocently. Wu and the people of Wu are all indignant! His brother Guilan was deeply favored by the King of Shengfu and often thinks of taking revenge. Now his brother is the governor of Danyang. The county magistrate Dai (member) Bo Yunsu and his brother are in the same heart. He heard that General Annan promoted the righteous army to punish the people and punish Sun Ben and was overjoyed. Therefore, he was sent to come down to welcome the righteous army."

Although Sheng Kuang had already predicted it, it was still difficult to hide the surprise. It was because Gui Lan and Dai Yuan were in a high position in Danyang. If the two of them turned against each other, it would be easy to seize Danyang. Sheng Kuang said with tears in his eyes: "Sir, I did not see the wrong person at the beginning. Zihuan (Gui Lan) and Bo Yun (Dai Yuan) were loyal and righteous, but he would never let each other down."

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang also praised: "In order to repay the old kindness of the Lord, he will not hesitate to take the risk of the destruction of the clan. You are the true national soldiers!"
