September, mid-September.

Danyang County, county seat, Wanling City.

After Yuan Shu defeated Shouchun, he crossed the Yangtze River and Huai River to Danyang, and the prefect of Danyang was his companion Yuan Yin. After reaching Danyang, Yuan Shu temporarily established Wanling in the Zhong country.

Inside the palace courtyard,

It is not so much a palace courtyard, but rather a larger mansion. After all, compared to the Shouchun Palace, Wanling can only be considered a larger inn.

At this time, a civil servant walked over and looked at the pavilion. Yuan Shu was half lying and half leaning. There were several female concubines beside him, and six or seven dancers were dancing gracefully not far away.

Alas! The civil servant sighed heavily.

After taking a few steps forward, the civil minister bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are so happy, so happy!"

"Oh~, where does the joy come from!"

Yuan Shu drooped his eyelids, glanced at the civil minister with a squinted eyes, and said no interest at all. Since he was defeated by Cao Cao, he has been in a slump and enjoys all day long without any fighting spirit.

Although Cao Cao was hateful, he hated Zhang Xiu the most, because Zhang Xiu detained his beloved concubine in Jingzhou, which made him extremely annoyed when he missed him day and night.

"Your Majesty, I just got the news that Cao Cao's soldiers stationed in Shouchun have been withdrawn. It is said that they have left because of the food. Now Shouchun City is empty. My Dazhong revival is expected!"

The civil minister said excitedly.

Although Yuan Shu couldn't do it, he still wanted Zhong to make a difference. After all, he was already the position of Jiuqing, and was above ten thousand people.

"Take it serious?" Yuan Shu sat up.

No matter how broken Shouchun is, it is better than the remote land of Danyang. Moreover, there are palace groups in Shouchun. Then he will ask for some money, food, and beauties from the aristocratic families in Runan, and he will enjoy it.

"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true. The soldiers of Dazhong can return to the capital again." The civil minister cried and said with joy.

"Okay, hurry up, go and send an order to order Ji Ling to rectify my Dazhong soldiers, prepare to cross north, return to Shouchun City, and show my Dazhong's heroic figure again."

Yuan Shu smiled and waved his sleeves.

"I hope, I will send an order to summon all officials to return to Shouchun and build the imperial capital." The civil minister stood up excitedly, his face turned red and his face retreated.

Seeing the scholar retreating, Yuan Shu smiled again, pinched the wine glass, and said to the dancer who was already standing still not far away: "Hurry up, continue dancing."

…………

In late September, the second year of Jian'an.

The emperor of Zhong led all officials to cross the rivers north and returned to Shouchun, hoping to realize the prosperity of the past.

Of course, Shouchun is broken and everything is in trouble. In the eyes of the world, Yuan Shu is already a dry bone in the tomb, and he still has the momentum of his Jianghuai overlord in his early years.

At this time, Wuxian General's Mansion.

Sun Ce was wearing a golden armor and a white robe, and was handsome and heroic. At this time, he held a letter and immediately laughed and said, "Hehe, okay, Cao Mengde did not lie to me."

After saying that, his sword eyebrows raised and he was overjoyed and said, "Gongjin, then Yuan Shu has really led his troops back to Shouchun. Now, his companion Yuan Yin leads his army to guard Danyang, and there are less than 10,000 troops."

Zhou Yu chuckled softly and said, "Should take it!"

"Okay," Sun Ce shouted cheerfully: "Cheng Pu obeys the order, and you will be the pioneer general, immediately get eight thousand elite armors, gallop at night, and head straight for the Danyang County."

"No!" Cheng Puqiu responded.

"Han Dang obeys the order and lets you lead the army to guard Wujun." Sun Ce looked at Han Dang and said solemnly.

"The last general takes the order." Han Dang felt helpless.

"The other generals will make meals at the third day of tomorrow, and will go out to the camp at the fourth day of tomorrow. They will follow me to Danyang and attack all the county of Danyang in one fell swoop, and resist Yuan Shu and Jiangbei." Sun Ce shouted.

Once he is in Yangzhou, he will be considered a overlord. However, this time he must be fast and must take down Danyang when Zhang Xiu cannot react and go straight to Yuzhang.

Only by taking Yuzhang can one feel at ease.

"No!" The generals all responded.

I have to say that Sun Ce is still very charming, with a lot of civil and military affairs under his command, and most of them are the backbone. In addition, Sun Ce is a righteous person, he pacified several counties in Jiangdong in this short period of time.

Seeing the generals leaving, Sun Ce looked a little anxious. He wished he could kill to Danyang City now. Fortunately, Cao Cao notified him in advance and he made preparations in advance.

"Gongjin, how do you want to conquer Danyang in this battle?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu excitedly and said.

"Yuan Yin is timid and has no plans. He can gather all our troops and attack Wanling quickly. As long as he breaks through Wanling, the surrounding county towns will definitely be surrendering." Zhou Yu said solemnly.

Sun Ce nodded, and finally he could fight again. He had longed for a long time.

…………

The same year, at the end of September.

Danyang, within Wanling.

It was already the autumn harvest season. Looking around, the millet had already hung ears.

In the fields outside the city, three or two people looked at the fields in front of them. They were worried and beat their chests and stamped their feet. Because the drought in various places was constant and the panic fleeing people, the corn yield in Danyang was very low.

I saw a thin and dark old man grabbed the ears and rub them in his hands for a while. The light yellow millet appeared, but the rate of grain output was too low, only two-thirds of that in previous years.

"Old man, what should I do?" The old lady looked painful and a little desperate. If the fields were not planted well at this time, it means that there were not many full meals in winter and the whole family would go hungry.

Moreover, now that Yuan Shu has banned miscellaneous taxes and exploited them, they have nothing left. If this continues, people will die of hunger.

"Huh, don't talk about those useless things, hurry up and grab them." The old man urged, bent down and cut two handfuls of rice and millet. He straightened his waist and frowned slightly, and said with a heart of heart: "It's really not possible. I'll go to the mountain to cut some materials and sell them for money in winter."

When the old lady heard about chopping wood, she looked tight.

Chopping wood in winter is extremely dangerous. The mountains and roads are slippery and the weather is cold and cannot keep it cold. The only thing that hungry jackals, tigers and leopards in winter is a big danger.

Before she could speak, she could hear a panic cry from afar.

When I stood up, I saw dust flying, flags covering the sun, and dozens of horsemen were in front of me.

"My fellow villagers, don't panic. I am Sun Ce, the former general of the Han Dynasty. I am ordered to fight against the thieves and will never hurt you." Sun Ce raised his gun and shouted.

But at this time, the people only had one word about leading the army, and they were afraid!

The fear in their hearts made them panic and they didn't dare to stay. Even if the food outside the city was their extremely important food, they didn't dare to stay for it.

I shouted for many miles, and it was the case.

Zhou Yu slapped his horse and chased him, looking at Sun Ce and said, "Lord, it is normal for the people to be flustered. The lord should lead the army to take Wanling directly. Only in this way can the people's hearts be stable."

Sun Ce nodded and looked at Wanling City not far away.

He raised his gun and rushed towards Huang Gai and said, "Huang Gai, you will immediately bring people to camp and build a siege ladder overnight. You must be able to capture Wanling tomorrow so as not to miss the autumn harvest of the people."

"No!" Huang Gai responded with his fists.

Sun Ce glanced at it and it seemed that the harvest of Danyang this year was not very ideal, but fortunately, as long as he captured Danyang, he would get a piece of the autumn grain.

"Chen Wu, you lead dozens of cavalry and shoot the letter of surrender you prepared before into the city to disturb the morale of the army."
Chapter completed!
