Looking at the tall city in the distance, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel excited, and he roared to the sky!
In fact, the apparent murderers of his father's death were Liu Biao and Huang Zu, but in reality the driving force behind it was Yuan Shu.
If it weren't for Yuan Shu's willfulness, his calculations against the Sun family's army, and his deliberate attempt to weaken the Sun family's strength... with Sun Jian's bravery and military strategy, he might not have lost to Liu Biao of Jingzhou.
Therefore, Sun Ce subconsciously had a deep hatred for Yuan Shu.
Today, this hatred was completely released by him!
Yuan Shu first withdrew into Nanchang City, while Zhang Xun organized troops and horses to resist Sun Ce's army outside the city. Arrows rained down from the city gate, blocking Sun's army from the city gate.
After Yuan Shu ran into the city, he calmed down his nervousness.
He clenched his fists fiercely, and his nails dug deeply into the flesh of his palms.
"Young thief Sun Ce, how dare you do this? Yuan treats him like his own son, how dare he betray me? I swear to destroy him!"
After saying that, Yuan Shu turned around and ordered Ji Ling: "Ji Ling, I order you to quickly mobilize the concentrated army and go to the north gate to guard against it! You must take Sun Ce's head for me!"
Ji Ling cupped his hands and said, "No!"
Yuan Shu smiled coldly and said bitterly: "Sun Ce only has 20,000 troops, but he dares to attack Yuan's Nanchang City? I have 50,000 elites under my command! Wouldn't it be easy to destroy him?"
Yan Xiang followed Yuan Shu with a worried look on his face.
"Ming Gong, I'm not worried about Sun Ce's rebellion right now, but if Sun Ce doesn't kill Lu Bu... what about Lu Bu?"
Yuan Shu suddenly trembled all over and said: "No! I forgot that there is that thief!"
Not long after Ji Ling mobilized the Chinese army in the city to go to the north gate to assist Zhang Xun in defending Sun Ce, a burst of shouts came from the west of Nanchang, and immediately the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army guarding the city tower started shouting.
Yuan Shu was in a hurry and met Liang Gang, whose face turned pale with panic.
"Did Lu Bu's army come to attack the city?"
"Yes! Song Xian, Hao Meng, and Hou Cheng of Lu Bu's army are attacking Xicheng!"
"Come and see with me!" Yuan Shu couldn't help but said, running up to the city tower in three steps and two steps at a time, looking towards the outside of the city wall.
I saw about ten thousand infantrymen of the Bingzhou Army, brandishing various weapons, and under the command of the three fierce generals of the Bingzhou Army, they roared with great rage from their throats while charging towards the city tower.
There is also a huge ram that is pushing hard against the door. Nanchang City is like an ant nest at this moment, as if there is a slight gap, countless infantry will swarm out of the gap.
Liang Gang nervously said to Yuan Shu: "Ming Gong, what do you think we should do about this matter? Sun Ce just rebelled, and now Lu Bu has also come to attack. How should we resist?"
Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said: "What else can we do? Hold on! Yuan has 50,000 elites. It is enough to resist Sun Ce and Lu Bu. They have always relied on Yuan to supply food and grass. Now that they have no food and grass, I think they
How long can you hold on? You actually dare to betray me! You are simply seeking death!... Get the infantry archers ready and all the soldiers on standby behind the city gate."
After all, Yuan Shu was not an idle person. At this critical moment, he immediately made the most correct judgment.
"No!" A military commander in Yuan's army responded, turned around and ran down the tower quickly to carry out Yuan Shu's order.
Yan Xiang frowned. He had a hunch that the current situation was different from usual, but even if it was different, he still had to deal with it in the same way.
At the garrison station in Nanchang City, Ji Ling had already arrived here to prepare troops and horses and build bridges. Le was waiting for Yuan Jun's generals to split up and take action. The soldiers in the city all looked nervous and couldn't help but say anything in this sudden emergency.
It's just a matter of wearing armor and fighting hard.
After receiving the orders from the generals, the heavily armored soldiers quickly rushed to the rear of the west and north city gates, formed a square formation, and were ready.
Yuan Shu personally presided over Ximen. He showed rare diligence and shrewdness at this moment.
Yuan Shu walked around the west gate of the city wall and sternly encouraged all his own soldiers behind the city wall to cheer up and work hard to defend against the enemy.
"Over there, quickly, get a few people and put out the fire!"
"All bows and arrows are ready, hurry up, move quickly."
"Open the bow! Load the arrow! Shoot the bastard of Bingzhou Army hard!"
Yuan Shu's order was shouted out in a hasty tone by the lieutenants at all levels, as well as the army commanders and commanders, asking his soldiers to do their guarding work one by one.
Yuan Shu personally took charge of the city's defense and greatly enhanced the defense strength of Nanchang City. Facing the offensives of Lu Bu and Sun Ce, the defense was watertight.
But Yan Xiang was not reassured. He always felt that there seemed to be some problem somewhere.
But he couldn't tell for a moment what the specific omission was.
After following Yuan Shu around the front city, he returned to the steps of the tower in Wengcheng, which is the highest position of the entire city wall.
Yan Xiang took advantage of this commanding position to look coldly at the frantically attacking Bingzhou Army outside the city, and then glanced inside the city.
For a moment, Yan Xiang's gaze remained motionless.
He found a large group of people on the streets of the city, heading towards the granary.
Those people had hoes, sticks, rakes, and even brooms in their hands!
Yan Xiang couldn't help but feel nervous: These people... seem to be common people in Nanchang City. Where did they come from? What do they want to do with so many people gathered together!
Before he could figure out a clue in his mind, there was already a burst of killing sounds coming from the direction of the granary at the bottom of the city.
Yan Xiang's head suddenly dripped with cold sweat.
The rioters in the city actually rebelled at this juncture?!
…
In the mountain forest not far from Nanchang City, the three major armies of the Tiger Guards, Danyang Elite Soldiers, and Taishan Soldiers were waiting closely, sharpening their swords. They only waited for the order from the pottery merchant to join the battle group and take down Nanchang.
The pottery merchant looked at the city in the distance where the shouts of killing were loud, turned around and asked Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi with a smile.
"Yuan Shu resorted to military violence. After occupying the city of Nanchang, he failed to practice moral governance. He forcibly robbed the people of their rations for military use and arbitrarily raised taxes. Do you think the people of Nanchang will take advantage of this juncture to rebel?"
Sima Yi smiled and said: "Students estimate that this matter is 90% likely! After all, the people of Yuzhang County are fierce and fierce, and they belong to a land where half of the barbarians have not yet developed their wisdom. In recent years, Zhuge Gong has been focusing on appeasement policies.
The people of Nanchang must not be able to accept the sudden tyranny of Yuan Shu!"
The potter nodded, then looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Liangliang, are you in a hurry to go into the city to rescue Lord Zhuge Liang?"
Zhuge Liang was indeed very anxious.
But as smart as he is, he naturally understands that now is not the best time to attack Nanchang.
The longer the delay is, the more changes Yuan Shu's defenders will encounter and the morale will decline. This is the best time to attack.
"Teachers don't have to worry about what students think. It's not the best opportunity to attack right now. We have to wait for something to happen in Yuan Junzhong..."
Just when Tao Shang was discussing with Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi about the time to march, he saw Chen Deng running over in a hurry and whispered to Tao Shang: "Master, twenty miles to the southwest, a large army is approaching.
Marching in the direction of Nanchang City, it is neither Lu Bu's army nor Sun Ce's army. Their troops do not wear armor and are all dressed in furs and cloth. I am afraid they must be from Baiyue!"
The potter suddenly became a little nervous when he heard this.
At this critical moment, which tribe of Baiyue barbarians came to disrupt the situation? Isn’t this a riot?
"Approximately how many people are there on the other side?" the pottery merchant asked in a low voice.
"The school affairs office's school affairs returns are at least three thousand people."
The potter's face looked a little heavy.
The number of three thousand is not too many, but it is definitely a lot. Once these Baiyue barbarians join the battle group in Nanchang City, no matter which side they go to, the variables they bring are unpredictable.
The pottery merchant turned to Xu Chu and said, "Zhongkang, you and Tao Ji stay here to look after the soldiers and horses. Don't move lightly for the time being."
"promise!"
"Xu Rong, order the Taishan Army and follow me to meet those Yue barbarians!"
"promise!"
Three thousand Taishan troops rushed out of the woods and headed towards the unidentified barbarians.
Seeing those Yue barbarians getting closer and closer, the pottery merchant narrowed his eyes slightly and observed carefully.
But seeing such barbaric soldiers holding strange scimitar weapons, wearing leather clothes of different colors, and all their faces seemed to have been smeared with paint or cinnabar, it made people feel like ghosts.
Goosebumps.
Compared to the strangely dressed barbarians, the general who led them was even more frightening.
Although they were far apart, the pottery merchant and others could still roughly make out the outline.
The general's height is almost the same as that of Xu Chu. His forehead is extremely wide, his face is large, his eyes are sunken and look dull and dry, his upper and lower proportions are out of proportion, his nose is pointed upward, and his neck is very thick.
And look at her bright red outfit and appearance... Why does it look like she's still a woman?
Xu Rong's single eye under the mask flashed: "What a fat woman! What kind of monster is this?"
The potter swallowed softly and whispered: "The pig has become a sperm. I don't know what kind of family can afford such a woman. Who can marry her? Hehe, I guess the whole family will have to marry her."
What a disaster..."
Before he finished speaking, a thin figure in white clothes appeared behind the fat woman, waving enthusiastically at the pottery merchant: "Brother! It's me! It's me!"
Tao Shang was suddenly shocked: "Second brother..."
Well, it turns out that these three thousand barbarians are the elite troops of the Hanyue tribe brought by Tao Ying to support the pottery merchants.
The potter and brother Tao Ying were extremely happy to meet.
Tao Ying has been away for several months, which is quite emotional.
This younger brother of mine has not shown any other abilities, but his ability to deal with Baiyue is very strong!
Unexpectedly, he could actually connect with Hanyue and marry Hua'er, the daughter of the leader of the Hanyue tribe. This achievement is really impressive.
It seems that Tao Ying would be a suitable candidate to hand over the southeastern states and counties to his younger brother and let him take care of Baiyue and Shanyue in the rear.
"Second brother, aren't you very happy and don't want to come back?" Tao Shang's face darkened and he complained to Tao Ying dissatisfied.
Tao Ying giggled a few times and then said: "That's just a momentary capriciousness of the younger brother, does the elder brother take it seriously? Come on, elder brother, let me introduce you to your younger siblings!"
The pottery merchant turned his attention to the fat girl who was as tall as a diamond, and was stunned.
"Second brother, could this be yours..."
"She is Hua'er! How about it, eldest brother? Isn't my younger brother's wife very beautiful? She is better than my sister-in-law, right?"
"Strong! Really strong! The younger brothers and sisters are indeed different. They have everything they want. They are so gracious! The second brother is so lucky. I am so envious of him as a brother."
