Sun Jian escaped for more than forty miles in one breath before stopping.
It was already evening, and there were only a few hundred Jiangdong soldiers around him.
In addition to the injured, there were also his nephew Sun Bi, his trusted generals Zu Mao and Han.
When they died in battle, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai's life and death were unknown.
Only one younger brother, Sun Jing, was still with them.
They suddenly lost all their energy and seemed to have lost their souls.
Sun Jing arranged for Jiang Dongbing, who was still with him, to come to Sun Jian and see his appearance.
She felt bad and immediately said: "Brother, I know you are heartbroken, but when things have reached this point, you must hold on." " Sun Jian, such a brave man, had already wet his clothes with tears.
He knelt on the ground with a bang and cried in his arms: "Bier, Da Rong, and Yi Gong are all gone.
Gong Fu and De Sheng are dead and alive.
Fifteen thousand Jiangdong Now there are only more than 300 disciples left.
How can I, Sun Wentai, have the dignity to go back to Jiangdong to meet my elders?"
Sun Jing hurriedly tried to persuade her: "Brother, you must not have such thoughts.
You are the backbone of our Sun family.
If you have any shortcomings, my Jiangdong Sun family will be doomed."
"Brother, you must not lose your fighting spirit at this time.
There are no generals in this world who are always victorious and undefeated.
An occasional defeat or two is nothing.
We can still get up and regroup."
"Although there are only more than 300 people around us, I think that most of our Jiangdong disciples have just escaped.
There are not many enemy troops.
Even if they pursue them, they cannot kill many people.
Most of our disciples are scattered around.
We We must send people to find them and gather the scattered children."
"In addition, regarding Gongfu and Demou, since they were not killed on the spot, there is hope of survival.
We must send people to find them as soon as possible."
Sun Jian gradually cheered up after being persuaded by his younger brother Sun Jing, and began to assign tasks to Sun Jian and the soldiers around him.
On the one hand, he sent people to inquire about the movements of Liu Cheng's army, and on the other hand, he sent people to the surrounding areas to gather the scattered Jiangdong.
Soldiers and horses, these people come from Jiangdong thousands of miles away.
Those who are unfamiliar with this area will not go too far.
The spies who went to investigate the movements of Liu Cheng's army only took an hour to return and reported to Sun Jian that the troops were no longer around the battlefield and had lost their trace.
Sun Jian didn't know why, but since this enemy was no longer nearby, he no longer worried about exposing his position, and immediately sent people to the surrounding counties to announce that he was here, so that the Jiangdong disciples who heard the news could quickly come to join him.
Sun Jian thought that he had completely lost the chance to make a comeback.
Unexpectedly, the number of Jiangdong soldiers who gathered two days later reached more than 8,000.
Even Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were found.
However, Cheng Pu suffered serious internal injuries.
The yellow cover is intact.
After Sun Jian gathered and rectified his troops and horses, he forced the surrounding counties to supply a batch of food, grass and military supplies, and then led his team to bypass Qiao County and go west to Chen County and Xu County to rush to Suanzao to participate in the alliance.
At this time, Liu Cheng had already led his army to the valley hills near Suiyang.
The army had experienced a big battle and was tired after marching for two days.
Liu Cheng ordered to camp on the spot to rest, and at the same time ordered Wang Yue to send people to explore Guangling.
The location of the troops of Prefect Zhang Chao and Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian.
Twelve thousand prisoners captured from Yingchuan were also following Liu Cheng at this time.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for this army to reach the valley hill in two days.
After these days of long-distance forced march training, the number of these 12,000 prisoners has been severely reduced.

Only 8,000 people are left, a total reduction of 4,000.
Most of these reduced people died of exhaustion during the journey, and some Unable to bear the torture, he tried to escape during a break, but was soon overtaken and killed.
A large army was fed three meals a day, and the amount of food consumed was not a small amount, not to mention the war horses that needed to be fed.
When Liu Cheng defeated Sun Jian, a lot of the food and grass carried by the prisoners had been consumed on the way.
After defeating Sun Jian, a large amount of grain and grass was seized.
The grain bags on the backs of the prisoners were filled again, and most of them were consumed after marching to the valley hills.
That night, Liu Cheng convened the generals and officials in the Chinese army's tent to discuss matters.
Wang Shuang looked at Liu Cheng with a grimace and said: "My lord, I am both a father and a mother, and I have to take charge."
The soldiers and horses stared at the prisoners, really eating them.
No need, I don’t know a few words and my abilities are limited.
It’s okay for me to go into battle, but I really can’t do something like this that requires calculation and brain use.
No, the statistics of grain and grass supplies, Distribution etc. have been messed up.”
Liu Cheng also knew that it would be too difficult for a military general like Wang Shuang, who didn't know a lot of Chinese characters, to worry about such things that civil servants did.
He thought for a while and asked: "By the way, what about Xu Jing and Xun Chen now?"
how's it going" Wang Shuang shook his head and said: "According to the Lord's instructions, my subordinates only gave them one meal a day and did not let them eat enough.
These two people have been so hungry these days that their eyes light up when they see the food.
But These two people are still unwilling to surrender to the Lord."
Liu Cheng was surprised and said: "When did I ask you to persuade them to surrender?
I just asked you to bring them with you.
Okay, come and bring Xu Jing and Xun Chen."
The soldier outside the door promised: "Promise" After a while, Xu Jing and Xun Chen were brought to the Chinese army's tent.
Liu Cheng asked while eating barbecue: "You two, how are you doing these days?"
When the two of them saw the barbecue and flatbreads on the table in front of Liu Cheng, their eyes couldn't help but shine, their throats squirmed, and they swallowed hard.
Xun Chen composed himself, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, General, but I'm fine with you."
Xu Jing said angrily: "Liu Anran, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated.
If you want me, Xu Jing, to surrender, you are dreaming."
Liu Cheng glanced at Wang Shuang and said: "I also know that you two are men of integrity.
How can you be convinced by me so easily?
So I don't expect you two to serve me."
Xun Chen couldn't help it anymore and said angrily: "Then you catch us and neither kill nor let go.
What's the point?"
"I, the general, can answer this question."
Liu Cheng took a bite of the pie and said, "First of all, I am not a bloodthirsty or indiscriminate person.
Although you two followed the rebels to cause rebellion, you are not the main culprit after all, and I am not the main culprit.
I plan to take you back to Chang'an and hand you over to Yousi for disposal; secondly, you are all rebels.
Since you have been caught by me, why should I let you go?"
Xu Jing cursed: "After all, you, Liu Anran, are just Dong Zhuo's lackey."
"Bold" Liu Cheng slammed the table, and the table immediately fell apart with his palm.
Wine and food were scattered on the floor.
He shouted with an angry look on his face: "Although Dong Zhuo has power over the government, he still has no control over me, Liu Cheng.
This general is loyal to the imperial court and the emperor.
You and others joined the local officials in revolting.
In name, they were under the banner of crusade against Dong Zhuo, but in reality they were targeting the emperor and the emperor.
Regarding the imperial court, don't think that this general doesn't know the thoughts of the princes in Guandong.
Seeing that the emperor was young, Dong Zhuo had monopolized power, and the imperial court was out of control, they thought that the world was in chaos, so they all developed armaments and tried to conquer Dong Zhuo.

To get rid of the control of the imperial court, all of them are wolfish ambitions.
Of course Dong Zhuo should be killed, shouldn’t the princes of Guandong be killed?”
"Who suggested allowing local officials to recruit soldiers and horses to resist the Yellow Turbans?
Who suggested recruiting Dong Zhuo into Luoyang?
Who led the army to attack the palace and violate the royal majesty?
Who suggested restoring the state pastoral system?
All of them were done by you with ulterior motives.
The disciples have been deeply favored by the emperor for generations, but they secretly want to poach the royal family.
Aren't these people typical representatives of ingratitude?
They are all uncultured jackals, tigers and leopards."
Xu Jing and Xun Chen were so embarrassed by Liu Cheng's words that they were speechless.
Liu Cheng stared at the two people, stood up and walked slowly in front of them, saying coldly: "I will not care about the collision between you two, but you should not think that you are some great person.
There is no one in this world."
No matter what, the sun will shine every day It rises from the east and sets from the west.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the seasons change.
The cycle of reincarnation does not stop from today.
I, the general, will not raise idle people here.
If you don’t work, you will not be fed.
You two have read the books of sages.
You should know that you can get something without working.
"It's a shameful thing to eat for free."
Xu Jing and Xun Chen looked at each other.
"Wang Shuang" Liu Cheng shouted.
Wang Shuang stood up and clasped his fists and said, "My subordinate is here."
"Give them two jobs.
If they don't do it, their food supply will be cut off.
If they don't work hard, then military law will take care of them."
"Yes."
Wang Shuang clasped his fists and agreed.
He turned around and smiled at Xu Jing and Xun Chen: "You two, from now on, Xu Jing will be responsible for managing the statistics and distribution of grain and grass; Xun Zhan will be responsible for managing the statistics of military supplies and money.
I hope you two Located in Make the account books within two days.
If you are half-hearted and do not work hard, don't blame me for being unkind.
Give them each a big cake and a bowl of soup.
Prepare knives, pens and bamboo slips.
After eating, take them with you.
Go to work” "Nuo" A primary school student came over and agreed, saying to Xun Chen and Xu Jing: "Two gentlemen, please" Xu Jing and Xun Chen looked at each other, with deep helplessness in their eyes.
They could only shake their heads and sigh as they followed the small school out.
At nightfall, the people sent out to inquire about the information were put into effect, and they reported to Wang Yue the whereabouts of Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, and his 20,000 troops.
Wang Yue immediately came to the Chinese army's tent and reported to Liu Cheng: "My lord, there is Zhang Chao. and the whereabouts of his 20,000-strong army.”
Liu Cheng suddenly stood up and said: "Where is it?"
“Just outside Suiyang City” "What's just outside Suiyang City?"
Liu Cheng was shocked.
"No wonder there are traces of the march of the army here."
Suiyang is the administrative seat of the Liang Kingdom, and is only about twenty miles away from Guqiu.
This means that Liu Cheng's troops are right under the nose of Zhang Chao's army.

Liu Cheng's mind was racing at high speed.
He paced back and forth in the tent.
After a few back and forth, he asked: "Zhang Chao shouldn't know that our army has touched his back, right?"
Wang Yue shook his head and said: "It's absolutely impossible.
They must have arrived outside Suiyang City around noon today, and we arrived here after they arrived.
The eyes of the princes are now on Xingyang and Hulao Pass.
They haven't arrived yet.
The arriving princes of Guandong also set their sights in the direction of jujube, how could they look behind them?"
Liu Cheng thought for a while and then immediately ordered: "Come here, tell the soldiers to go to sleep immediately and get up at midnight to prepare for battle."
