Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 501 Chen Deng, Chen Jiao, Lu Su vs Xu Kun, Zhou Yu, Sun Quan
Zhang Sui galloped all the way and finally arrived at Liyang Port five days later.

Just as Tian Feng said in the brocade bag, Xu Rong was there with his 1,000 cavalrymen.

Seeing Zhang Sui, Xu Rong seemed quite excited. He bowed to Zhang Sui earnestly and said, "Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations, my lord!"

The generals also saluted.

Zhang Sui's eyes fell on Huang Han and Zhen Hao, and asked curiously: "When did you arrive?"

Zhen Hao and Huang Han were not with Xu Rong and the others before.

They were all in Lujiang, and were separated by Zhang Sui from his own 1,000 cavalrymen.

Zhen Hao smiled and said, "Bo Cheng——"

Zhen Hao quickly changed his words and said, "My Lord, we arrived here three days ago."

Pulling a scroll from his sleeve and handing it to Zhang Sui, Zhen Hao said, "Isn't the younger brother of the military advisor and lieutenant general Chen Yuanlong the governor of Guangling?"

"Military Advisor Chen Yuanlong went to Guangling for a while after you left Lujiang, my lord."

"During this period, we happened to encounter Sun Ce's army attacking Guangling."

"hey-hey--"

Zhen Hao laughed triumphantly and said, "Twenty thousand troops attacked Guangling. Under Chen Yuanlong's strategy, Chen Jiao and Lu Su led the charge, and Sun Ce's twenty thousand troops didn't even land!"

"General Zhang He set up an ambush on land, but no one showed up."

"Sun Ce's 20,000-man army lost nearly 2,000 men and retreated in defeat."

"According to military advisor Chen Yuanlong, his strategy worked. Chen Jiao and Lu Su were both young and brave, and they led their troops to fight fiercely. Sun Ce's army suffered heavy losses. Sun Ce was worried that if too many soldiers were lost, the aristocratic families in Jiangdong would take the opportunity to rebel, so he ordered the army to retreat."

"However, the rumor in Jiangdong is that the aristocratic families in Jiangdong have always been dissatisfied with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu and are ready to rebel at any time."

"Besides, they are already gathering their troops."

"Sun Ce got wind of the news and had to withdraw his troops."

"And this scroll was originally sent to Tian Biejia by Military Advisor Chen Yuanlong."

"After Biejia Tian took a look at it, he asked Huang Han and I to bring it here."

Zhang Sui nodded, took the scroll and opened it.

There were dozens of lines of text written inside, saying: "On September 25, Sun Ce sent General Xu Kun as the chief general, Zhou Yu as the military advisor, and his second brother Sun Quan as the deputy general, with 20,000 troops to attack Hailing Port. Lu Su was the vanguard and Chen Jiao was the deputy general. They successfully defeated the enemy before Sun Ce's army landed, beheading more than 2,000 enemy soldiers."

"Lu Su's subordinates almost shot and killed the main general Xu Kun."

"The Guangling crisis is resolved."

"Zhang Xun and Zhao Yun are stationed at Ruxu Harbor, with a large number of naval forces."

"Deng believes that Sun Ce is likely to temporarily abandon Lujiang and head north from Xiakou."

"Hebei and Jingzhou are allies. My lord, you can consider sending a large army from Lujiang directly to the land near Xiakou to ambush Sun Ce's army."

"Sun Ce is extremely brave and ambitious."

"Xiakou Governor Huang Zu was old and confused. Deng believed that Huang Zu could not stop Sun Ce."

"But Lord Yuan, the governor of Jizhou, did not take it seriously."

"My Lord, you can take it yourself, and then we can work on it slowly."

After Zhang Sui finished reading the contents of the scroll, he looked a little strange.

It turned out that Sun Ce did not personally lead the troops in the battle of Guangling.

Instead, Sun Quan was sent.

Unfortunately, Sun Quan was defeated.

According to historical records before the time travel, Sun Quan achieved great results in internal warfare.

However, there seems to be no victory in foreign wars.

Now Chen Deng is still a rookie in giving advice and plans, but he can still defeat the army led by Sun Quan.

When Chen Deng matured, Sun Quan would no longer be his opponent.

As for Zhou Yu——

Zhou Yu was very powerful in history, and was even listed as one of the 72 generals in the Temple of Martial Arts.

However, he is still very young after all. It is not surprising that he cannot defeat Chen Deng alone without Sun Ce.

Just, very curious.

Lu Su also joined the battle this time.

I don’t know what Zhou Yu was thinking when facing Lu Su.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Sui shook his head.

Have no idea.

Okay, I’ll wait until I see Lu Su next time and ask him what he thinks.

Zhang Sui rolled up the scroll and said to Zhen Hao, "When you came here, did you know the situation in Hebei?"

Zhen Hao shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"No one knew about my journey here."

"I found out only after I crossed the Yellow River and rushed to the plains."

At this point, Zhen Hao asked excitedly: "My Lord, have we been promoted?"

Xu Rong and others also looked at Zhang Sui expectantly.

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "I got promoted!" "How could I forget you?"

Looking at Xu Rong, Zhang Sui said, "You are now the General of the Central Army and concurrently the Commandant of Jinyang. The appointment letter will be here soon."

Xu Rong looked a little dazed.

General Zhonglang?
Finally back to the original position.

Zhang Sui then looked at Zhen Hao, Huang Han and several other generals and said, "You have all been promoted. I have seen it. It's just that I came out so quickly that I didn't write down every one of them. When you go back this time and go to the government office and receive the appointment letter, you will know."

"You are all my brothers. As my cavalry, you should know my temper."

"I mean what I say, and I won't lie to you."

Only then did the generals smile happily.

Xu Rong had also seen the contents of the scroll and said with a smile, "Then my lord, after we defeat Cao Cao here, shall we go down to Xiakou?"

"We are your cavalry, my lord."

"We should be the first to fight for what merit we have."

"Besides, I really want to see who this Sun Ce is."

"When I was in Lujiang before, the people there always praised me as the 'Little Overlord of Jiangdong'."

"I, Xu Rong, refuse to accept this!"

"Anyone can take the title of Little Bully?"

"In today's world, no one is worthy of the title of 'Overlord'."

"I'm just a butcher, not even qualified."

"Back then, his father, Sun Jian, was known as the 'ferocious tiger', but I killed him and made him lose his armor and weapons. He had to let that general serve as his substitute, which was how he managed to escape."

"This Sun Ce has never learned his lesson."

"This time, I want to take his head myself!"

"The old one ran away, I can't let the little one get away!"

Generals such as Zhen Hao and Huang Han nodded.

Zhang Sui looked at the eager expressions of the crowd and said after a moment of hesitation: "Let's see!"

"The deadline is half a month."

"If Cao Cao's army arrives and we scare them off, I will lead you to ambush Sun Ce."

"But, at that time, I couldn't show up."

Looking at Xu Rong, Zhang Sui said, "I will be your personal guard at that time. You will contact Huang Zu, the governor of Xiakou, as the General of the Central Army of Hebei and the Commander of Jinyang, and agree to form an alliance to ambush Sun Ce."

"If we can't wait for Cao Cao's army to arrive within half a month, or if we can't scare off Cao Cao's army, then, let alone ambush Sun Ce at Xiakou, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep Hebei."

Zhang Sui's words made generals such as Xu Rong, Zhen Hao, and Huang Han look serious.

Zhang Sui sighed: "The situation is actually quite serious."

"I just experienced the war in Yecheng."

"My father-in-law, three sons and a nephew were all killed in the battle."

“The news hasn’t spread widely yet.”

“So, now the whole of Hebei doesn’t seem to have changed much.”

"Once it spreads widely, I'm afraid wars will break out everywhere."

"I have dispatched three armies to various places to prevent rebellion."

"So, it's impossible for us to get any more reinforcements."

"Hebei cannot afford to have four armies fighting at the same time."

"The people can't afford this consumption of food and grass."

Zhang Sui glanced at all the generals and said, "You are all my cavalry. You have been with me since I became a cavalryman."

"You are the only ones I can rely on."

"We will fight bravely this time and scare off Cao Cao, but many of our brothers will surely die in the battle."

"Your names are also registered."

"If we die together, there's nothing to say."

"My lord, if I die, Hebei will belong to someone else, so I naturally have not considered the issue of your families."

"As long as I am alive, I will do my best to take care of the brothers who died in the battle and your families."

"If we can successfully complete the mission and scare off Cao's army, you can return alive and bring honor to your family. Moreover, as my main force, you can see your own future."

"I, Zhang Sui, think I've been pretty good to you guys."

"I have climbed all the way to here, and whenever there is a reward, you all get the big share, and I am the small share."

Zhang Sui exhaled and said, "I won't say anything more."

"Please pass the message along."

"Those who want to run, I'll give you a chance. Within the next twelve hours, you can leave on your own, but leave your horses and weapons behind."

"After twelve hours, I assume that you are all willing to sacrifice your lives with me to build a better future for your career and your family."
