At that moment, Sun Ce had the urge to chop off Zhu Jianping.

He had a strong intuition: He dared not say whether there was a heavenly disaster, but it was certain that there was a ghost here. He used an illusory prophecy to trap him in a certain place for a year and fasting. Damn, should he quit drinking and sex?

What is depressing is that even if he kills Zhu Jianping, it will be useless. He doesn't believe it, but someone believes it. Zhong Yao and Xun You's example are right in front of you. Who dares to say it doesn't believe it at all? Even if he himself, he dares not say it.

This is a coincidence.

Instead of killing Zhu Jianping, it is better to keep an eye on it. Of course, it is not important to find out whether Zhu Jianping lies. What is important is that if it is a plan, then who made the plan and what goal he wanted to achieve, and whether he could use it to make the other party lose a lot of rice without losing it. This is the core issue.

Judging from the current situation, it is possible for several parties, and Cao Cao is the most suspicious. Zhu Jianping is from Pei and is in the circle of Ruying scholars. He should be very familiar with Cao Cao. Yuan Tan and Cao Ang are also suspicious. Needless to say, although Cao Ang is an ally, he is afraid that only he himself knows what he thinks. It is good for Yanzhou to find the village party Zhu Jianping to disrupt the morale of the army and maintain the current balance.

Sun Ce signaled Guo Jia to go and find a reason to keep Zhu Jianping and not let him contact others. When Guo Jia comes back, he tells Guo Jia his guess and asks Guo Jia to arrange for the military to deduce it.

Guo Jia's opinion is similar to Sun Ce, and all parties have suspicions. What is different from Sun Ce is that he is unwilling to take this risk, so he would rather believe it than not, and strongly demanded that Sun Ce go back to Jianye, preferably before the New Year. Just board the stairs and take advantage of the northwest wind to go down, and you can go to Jianye in three or five days, and you can also go to Jianye Xindu for the New Year. After the New Year, the spring water will gradually rise and the risk will be greater.

Sun Ce was speechless, but he firmly opposed it. Lu Su was facing the emperor in Hongnong. He was returning to Jianye to take refuge at this time?

"Share you, what about it?"

"King, Zhong Yao is right. If you want to do extraordinary things, you must wait for extraordinary people. Now we are not only the first in the world, but also the first in the world to do the world with the king's way and build achievements for thousands of years. It is the time when the old and new changes. Success or failure depends on the king. If the king has a chance, what will happen to the world? Moreover, the three-way attack is the limit of money and grain supply. If you do the recruitment again, you will be domineering and inconsistent with the original intention. It is conceivable that within one or two years, unless the opponent makes a major mistake, it will be difficult for us to make substantial progress. Since that is the case, why not wait? Even if it is a plan, you might as well take the plan and take the opportunity to adjust the rhythm and prepare for the situation."

Zhang Hong, who came after hearing the news, agreed with Guo Jia's opinion. He had no comment on Zhu Jianping's prediction, but he believed that as far as the current situation was concerned, it was not necessary to slow down. Lu Su sent troops to Hongnong to use Yangzhou's food. Once the war broke out in Qingxu again, the money and food consumption would be more. At the critical moment of the five-year plan, hasty expansion of the scale of the war was not the best choice, and defense was more stable than offense. Since it was impossible to conclude that Zhu Jianping's prediction was a trick, it would be better to go with the flow and go back to Jianye for a year to rest, so as not to be worried.

Sun Ce felt something was right. "You inform Yu Fan to prepare and wait for Hongnong's news to come and confirm that nothing happened, we will set off."

"Here." Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief and turned to make arrangements.

——

On the east side of Hengling, Huaiyuan.

Jiang Qin sat under a big locust tree, looking at the battlefield a hundred steps away, with a calm expression.

The arrows were flying, "swooshing" sounded. Just over ten steps away, the shooters of both sides were shooting from the air. Under the suppression of two A-level shooters, the Bingzhou Army's powerful crossbowmen on the opposite hillside were shot so hard that they did not dare to show their heads. Although there were covers of swords, shields and terrain to use, the ten powerful crossbowmen still lost three people, two died and one was injured. Seeing Jiang Qin's shield walls beside them, they could not even see Jiang Qin's figure. They rationally gave up the extravagant hope of killing Jiang Qin and instead restrained the Jiangdong Army's archers.

The two shooters have the lethality of 20 crossbowmen. Letting them join the battle pose a great threat to the trapped camp. Even the main general Gao Shun may encounter an unexpected accident. Being able to entangle them and prevent them from getting out is also a way to complete the task, and it does not disappoint the trust of the General of the Central Army. Upholding this belief, the seven Bingzhou military strong crossbowmen insisted tenaciously, shooting one or two arrows from time to time.

Such long shots are difficult to pose any threat to Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin was able to watch the battle in the camp calmly from a close distance. Jiang Qin was very interested in this opponent he was about to face. When he was by Sun Ce, he heard Sun Ce mention it and kept it in his heart. Now that he has the opportunity to compete face to face, of course he should not take it lightly.

He could die, but Hongnong could not lose it. Lu Su gave him two thousand people and enough food and weapons, and asked him to defend Hongnong for half a year. He not only had to complete the task, but also overcomplete the task, becoming a nail in the throat of the court. He was not worried about the imperial army. The Xiliang soldiers were not good at siegeing cities and were newly trained. Even if they had the advantage of military strength, they would have no use in the face of Hongnong's terrain. However, Gao Shun's camp was different. This was an elite infantryman, which was most suitable for this kind of terrain.

To a certain extent, the tactics of the camp of the camp are similar to those of the Jiangdong Army. Jiang Qin is clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the camp of the camp. The only difference lies in what level the camp can reach. So when he heard that Gao Shun might go into battle in person, Jiang Qin came. He wanted to witness the combat effectiveness of the camp of the camp with his own eyes.

Gao Shun led the camp to set up a formation more than a hundred steps in front of the slope and prepared for a frontal attack. This was the last position close to Hongnong. It had passed the middle of Hengling. The slope gradually slowed down, and the crossbows on both sides were not so obvious, so a frontal impact was possible. With Huangfu Jianshou leading the camp to fight with the army, Gao Shun personally led the camp to fight and wanted to boost morale.

The battle these days has been too frustrating. Although he has seized several positions in a row, the casualties of up to 10 to 1 made the soldiers frightened. Siege is more difficult than fighting for the mountains. In this proportion, all the vanguard troops led by Huangfu Jianshou can't capture Hongnong City even if they can't. Gao Shun did not want to sacrifice his subordinates innocently. After discussing with Huangfu Jianshou, he decided to use this opportunity to test the combat power of the Jiangdong Army.

If the Jiangdong Army is really strong and even the camp cannot break through directly, the plan to attack Hongnong must be modified or even given up.

After half a day of competition, with nearly five times the advantage of military strength, the Bingzhou Army crossbowmen achieved checks and balances against the Jiangdong Army crossbowmen. The final victory or defeat depends on the infantry in the mountain road. Everyone knows that the outcome of this battle has nothing to do with Hongnong's gains and losses, but with the morale of both sides.

There was only one infantry in the Jiangdong Army responsible for blocking, and there was a siege on each hillside on both sides. Gao Shun's camp was known as a thousand people, but in fact there were less than four songs. At this moment, it was not all of them. There was only one song of soldiers standing in a neutral formation, and two songs posed a formation to form a fair battle. Although the soldiers in the camp were not as neat and exquisite as the Jiangdong Army, their momentum was not weak at all, and they had the majesty of elite soldiers in a hundred battles. The two songs of soldiers met and wanted to invite a fight in front of the formation for a moment. The soldiers on both sides were very excited and couldn't wait for the battle to begin.

Although single-handed battles are no longer mainstream, fair duels are still a popular drama for ordinary soldiers. For them, big fists are the hard truth, and walking around the world is never the great truth, but the sword in the hand.
