Fifteen chapters of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Fei was about to kill himself, but Liu Bei stepped forward to grab the knife, saying that brothers were much more important than wives, not to mention that Lu Bu treated his children well, and Zhang Fei made no big mistake. After speaking, he cried, and Guan and Zhang were deeply moved.

Yuan Shu heard that Lu Bu had captured Xuzhou, and wrote a letter asking Lu Bu to attack Liu Bei together. Lu Bu agreed and sent Gao Shun to lead the army.

Liu Bei received the news and fled east to Guangling. Gao Shun met Ji Ling and asked for the property promised by Yuan Shu. Ji Ling said that he would ask Yuan Shu first.

Gao Shun went back and saw Lu Bu and told him everything. Lu Bu was wondering when he received a letter from Yuan Shu, saying that Liu Bei had not been eliminated yet, and that he would give property after Liu Bei was eliminated.

Lu Bu was angry and wanted to attack Yuan Shu, but was persuaded by Chen Gong. He followed the advice and invited Liu Bei to stay in Xiaopei.

Liu Bei went happily. Lu Bu was afraid that Liu Bei wouldn't believe him, so he sent Liu Bei's children back first. Mrs. Gan Mi met Liu Bei and said that Lu Bu treated her and both of them well, and Liu Bei wanted to thank Lu Bu. Zhang Fei didn't want to go, so he took the two ladies to Xiaopei first.

Lu Bu met Liu Bei and said that seizing the city was not his original intention, but that Zhang Fei was drinking and causing trouble. Others might take the opportunity to attack the city, so he defended the city on his behalf. Liu Bei said that he was going to give Xuzhou to Lu Bu. Lu Bu refused, but Liu Bei refused and lived in Xiaopei ever since.

Here Yuan Shu entertained the soldiers at a banquet in Shouchun. It happened that Sun Ce returned victoriously from the expedition to Lujiang, so Yuan Shu called Sun Ce over. Since Sun Ce defected to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu loved Sun Ce very much.

Because Yuan Shu regarded himself as an elder before Sun Ce and was often arrogant. Sun Ce felt sad that he had fallen from his father's prestige. After hearing this, Zhu Zhi, an old minister of Sun Jian, thought that Sun Ce could borrow troops from Yuan Shu and station them in Jiangdong in the name of saving Wu Jing. Yuan Shu's counselor Lu Fan happened to hear this and was willing to give his soldiers to Sun Ce to help him, but Yuan Shu was not necessarily willing to lend troops.

Sun Ce said that he was willing to use the imperial seal as a mortgage because Yuan Shu had wanted this thing for a long time, so Lu Fan thought it was feasible.

So the next day, Sun Ce cried to Yuan Shu. He could not avenge his father's revenge, and his mother's revenge came again. Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, persecuted his uncle Wu Jing. He wanted to save Wu Jing and was willing to use the jade seal passed down from the country as a gift. guarantee.

Yuan Shu was overjoyed and appointed him an official, and lent him 3,000 men and 500 horses.

When Sun Ce arrived in Liyang, he met his old friend Zhou Yu, and the two went together.

Zhou Yu recommended Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong. Sun Ce recruited people with courtesy, but the two people did not come, so Sun Ce went to recruit them in person before they came.

Liu Yao once stationed troops in Shouchun, but was driven to Jiangdong by Yuan Shu. Here he heard that Sun Ce was coming and gathered everyone to discuss. Taishi Ci recommended himself, but Liu Yao said that Taishi Ci was too young and refused to agree, so he asked Zhang Ying to accept the challenge.

Zhang Ying was fighting against Huang Gai. Not wanting anyone to defect to Sun Ce, he planned to perform meritorious service first and then defect. He set fire to the army and caused a commotion. Zhang Ying was defeated and fled. These two people were commended by Sun Ce.

Zhang Ying was defeated and Liu Yao wanted to kill him, but was persuaded.

Sun Ce said that he dreamed of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty yesterday. He ignored everyone's dissuasion and came to the ancestral temple Liu Yao set up here. After burning incense and paying homage, he ignored everyone's dissuasion and crossed the mountains to watch Liu Yao's camp.

Liu Yao received the news and thought that this was Sun Ce's plan to lure troops, so he stayed put. Taishi Ci thought that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he rode on horseback to chase Sun Ce, shouting who was willing to go with him, but only one person responded. Everyone laughed.

Sun Ce watched for a long time before leaving. When crossing the mountains, he heard Taishi Ci shouting for him to stay, and the two fought to a draw.

Taishi Ci saw that he would not be able to capture him for a while, and because we were outnumbered by the enemy, he thought that if he captured Sun Ce, he would be stopped by others, so he pretended to lose, fought and walked, led him to the plain, and tore him apart. Get into a ball.

Liu Yao's thousand soldiers and horses arrived, Sun Ce's twelve cavalry also arrived, and Zhou Yu led troops. Everyone fought in a group, and they did not retreat until it rained.

Liu Yao and Sun Ce faced each other. One side was holding Tai Shici's weapons, and the other side was carrying Sun Ce's helmet. Taishi Ci stepped forward to call for formation, but Cheng Pu stopped Sun Ce and stepped forward to meet the enemy. The two men retreated shortly after fighting. It turned out that Zhou Yu led his troops to destroy Liu Yao's base camp Qu'a, and Liu Yao had no intention of fighting.

That night Sun Ce attacked the camp at night and Liu Yao's army was defeated. Taishi Ci defected to Jing County. Liu Yao and his reinforcements fought against Sun Ce again and were defeated, so he defected to Liu Biao.

Sun Ce attacked Moling and asked Xue Li to surrender. He did not want to be shot in the leg by an arrow, so he took advantage of the situation and faked his death. In the evening, Xue Li, Zhang Ying and others fought their way out of the city and encountered Sun Ce's ambush. When the enemy saw that Sun Ce was still alive, they were shocked and surrendered. After reorganizing his troops, Sun Ce came to Jing County to capture Tai Shi Ci.

Taishi Ci recruited two thousand people in Jing County, but unfortunately most of them were mountain villagers and did not understand discipline. At night Sun Ce attacked Jingxian, leaving only the east side for Taishi Ci to escape. After he had fled for fifty miles, his men and horses were exhausted. Suddenly the ambush shouted, Taishi Ci's horse was tripped, and Taishi Ci was captured alive.

Sun Ce treated him with courtesy, and Taishi Ci surrendered, saying that he was willing to take care of the remaining soldiers. Sun Ce agreed. Everyone was worried that Taishi Ci would never come back, but Sun Ce thought that he was a loyal and righteous man, so he was not worried. The next day, Taishi Ci packed up the remaining soldiers and returned.

After that, Sun Ce was in Jiangdong, pacifying the people, and people came to surrender. Everywhere his soldiers and horses passed by, people were frightened. However, Sun Ce's troops did not disturb the people, so his reputation was very high.

The person who occupied Wu County at that time was Yan Baihu, who called himself the king.

When Sun Ce's troops came, Yan Baihu's younger brother Yan Yu met the enemy. Taishi Ci's skill in archery gave him great authority, so Yan Baihu had the idea of ????surrender and asked Yan Yu to go out of the city to see Sun Ce, saying that he and Sun Ce wanted to share Jiangdong equally.

Sun Ce was furious, and the white tiger abandoned the city and fled. Huang Gai and Taishi Ci pacified the surrounding cities, and Sun Ce pursued the enemy.

Wherever the White Tiger soldiers passed by, the people could not bear to be disturbed. When the troops reached Yuhang, they were repulsed by the local people led by Ling Cao. Ling Cao later joined Sun Ce.

Bai Hu defeated Cheng Pu at the ferry and fled to Kuaiji. Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji, thought that Sun Ce had annexed too much territory and wanted to help Bai Hu. Yu Fan said that Sun Ce was a benevolent soldier and should not help Bai Hu, so he was Swear back.

The two sides faced off, but Wang Lang was defeated and could not leave the city, hoping to use up Sun Ce's food and fodder.

Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing said that most of Kuaiji's grain and grass were in Zhadu, so it would be better to capture him. Sun Ce obeyed.

So he ordered the suspected soldiers to light torches in the camp, and the rest of them pretended to go to Zhadu, waiting for Wang Lang's soldiers to come and capture them in one fell swoop.

Here Wang Lang and others saw that Sun Ce's large army had withdrawn and a small number of troops were left behind to play tricks, so they all led their troops to pursue him. The white tiger fled, but Wang Lang did not dare to return to the city and ran away. Sun Ce then captured Kuaiji.

On the second day, Dong Xi came to surrender to Sun Ce with a white tiger head on his head. Sun Ce asked Sun Jing to guard Kuaiji while he withdrew his troops and returned to Jiangdong.

Sun Quan and Zhou Tai were guarding Xuancheng, but bandits invaded. Zhou Tai risked his life to save Sun Quan. In danger, he told Sun Quan that Yu Fan had recommended famous doctors to him when he was injured before. Sun Quan heard about Yu Fan and wanted to conquer him, so the two of them went to visit Yu Fan.

Yu Fan recommended Hua Tuo.

Sun Ce completely pacified Jiangdong. While contacting Cao Cao, he asked Yuan Shu to return the jade seal. Yuan Shu did not want to return it, and thought that Sun Ce did not want to repay, but took it from him, and wanted to attack him.

The counselor thought it would be better to strengthen his own strength and attack Liu Bei first.
