Chapter 432: No One Gets a Bargain


Taishi Ci did not stop in Lingyang City, but only rested in the city for one night.

The next day, he led his troops and horses to Nanchang as quickly as possible.

He ignored the cities he passed along the way and instead bypassed the cities and headed towards Nanchang.

Taishi Ci had already tested out the lack of troops in Nanchang.

If the troops in Nanchang were not empty, Huang Gai would never risk the risk and desperately pursue the people he sent.

In fact, when Taishi Ci led his troops to the city of Nanchang, the sparseness of the troops on top of the city also proved this point.

Without further ado, Taishi Ci decided to immediately launch an attack on the city without giving the city officials and garrison time to prepare for the defense.

He asked the craftsmen accompanying the army to just build some siege ladders, and the attack began that afternoon.

The Nanchang garrison was called Zhu Zhi, a native of Danyang.

He had defected to Sun Ce in the past two years.

At this time, he only had 800 men under his command.

The 800 men had to guard the four city walls.

On average, each wall could only be assigned 200 men.

When Taishi Ci was ordering people to build siege equipment, Zhu Zhi immediately ordered the young men in the city to go up the city wall to help defend the city.

Although the order was issued, it was very difficult to pull the people up the city wall to defend the city.

The Sun family's actions in Jiangdong were not benevolent.

Why should you let the common people work for you?

When Tai Shici ordered the siege to begin, Zhu Zhi only mobilized two hundred young men.

Zhu Zhi was very angry, but time waited for no one, and he had no time to trouble those young men who did not obey the call, so he had to He led the soldiers to climb up the city wall in a hurry to defend against Taishi Ci's attack.

The siege battle lasted from noon to You hour.

At dusk, the siege soldiers were driven off the city wall by Sun Ce's army again and again.

Taishi Ci couldn't sit still.

He grabbed his spear and said to Liu Yao: "Prince, we are here to fight."

Here you go, I will personally lead the troops to attack the city."

Liu Yao was in a hurry: "General, wait a minute.

The general is the commander-in-chief of an army.

How can he personally lead the troops to attack the city?

If something unexpected happens, the soldiers of the three armies will be immediately defeated."

Taishi Ci clasped his fists and said: "Liu Governor, we have no choice.

Sun Ce may have known that we are coming to Nanchang.

If we can't capture Nanchang before he comes with his troops, we will become homeless dogs and have no place to stay." " "Hey, you all blame me, Liu Yao, for being incompetent."

Liu Yao sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.

Taishi Ci immediately jumped off his horse and ran toward the city wall with a spear.

When he reached the bottom of the city, he rushed under a ladder and pushed aside the soldiers in front of him, shouting: "Get out of the way, let me go up first, you follow me."

Quickly climb up the city wall behind you" "Yes" all the soldiers shouted in unison.

I saw Taishi Ci holding a gun in one hand and grabbing the ladder with the other hand and starting to climb up quickly with his hands and feet.

As he climbed, he used his long gun to deflect the arrows and falling stones.

Soon, Taishi Ci rushed up to the city wall, and with one move of the spear in his hand, five or six soldiers of Sun Ce's army were swept to the ground.

Some more soldiers who defended the city found that the enemy was rushing up, and immediately came to reinforce with weapons.

Taishi Ci He immediately stepped forward to fight with them to make room for the soldiers climbing up from behind.

With Taishi Ci opening the way in front, more and more soldiers climbed up.

This was soon discovered by Zhu Zhi.

Zhu Zhi immediately rushed over with dozens of Sun Ce's soldiers to drive Taishi Ci and his party off the city wall.

"Zhu Zhi is here, the thief will die!"

Zhu Zhi shouted, rushed over and slashed Tai Shici in half.

Taishi Ci raised his gun and opened the door, shouting: "You are shameless for speaking so loudly, you should die first."

After that, Taishi Ci quickly used his marksmanship to fight Zhu Zhi.

The two fought for more than thirty rounds before Zhu Zhi couldn't hold on any longer and was forced to retreat repeatedly.

Taishi Ci accidentally knocked away his sword and stabbed him in the shoulder blade.

After being shot, the soldiers rushed over and stood in front of him to rescue him, regardless of life and death.

After Zhu Zhi was seriously injured and rescued, the defenders quickly collapsed.

Taishi Ci led his soldiers to quickly seize the city wall and open the city gate.

The army rushed into the city to hunt down Sun Ce's army, and sent troops overnight to search for the people hiding in the city.

Sun Cejun at home didn't finish until dawn.

The seriously injured Zhu Zhi was led by the soldiers to escape from Nanchang City.

They searched and searched for him all night but were not caught.

After daybreak, Taishi Ci arranged for the soldiers to eat and rest, then welcomed Liu Yao into the city and said to him: "Liu Governor, just going south to Nanchang is not enough.

We must capture Chaisang as soon as possible.

Only by capturing Chaisang can we have There is no way out, otherwise you will be trapped and die in Chaisang City."

Liu Yao asked: "What does General Taishi want to do?"

"We will leave our generals and troops behind, and also ask the governor to come forward to gather the officials in the city and let them help appease the people.

If these officials fail, they will be killed to frighten the rest of the people.

I don't know what the governor thinks."

Liu Yao nodded and said: "Good, general, just lead the troops to attack Chaisang.

Don't worry, the government affairs will be left to this governor."

Taishi Ci immediately ordered his general Zhang Ying to lead 5,000 troops to stay in Nanchang City, while he himself took the remaining 8,000 troops to Chaisang after resting for half a day.

However, it was said that Sun Ce had conquered Danyang City that day, but when he learned that Liu Yao had fled to Taishi Ci's army, he did not pursue him.

Instead, he appeased the people in the city, sent troops to conquer the surrounding cities, and sent Zhou Yu to lead the army to Wu Commandery to conquer the cities.

There was no result in conquering the cities in Danyang, but he heard from his subordinates that Huang Gai was coming.

He was shocked.

Wasn't Huang Gai supposed to confront Taishi Ci?

Why did he come to Danyang?

Sun Ce had an ominous premonition in his heart, and immediately ordered Huang Gai to be brought into the Governor's Mansion.

When he saw Huang Gai's clothes and armor were in tatters, his hair was disheveled, and he was in a mess, he was shocked and said: "How did the old general become like this?

Aren't you just like this?"

Is Taishi Ci confronting you?

Why did you come to Danyang?"

Huang Gai knelt down and cried loudly: "Young Master, I am incompetent.

I was deceived out of the city by Taishi Ci's trick and was ambushed twice.

All my troops and horses were lost.

Now Taishi Ci led his troops and horses straight to Nanchang.

I'm afraid that Nanchang will fall into the hands of Taishi Ci by now."

Now it was good, Sun Ce occupied Liu Yao's lair, and Liu Yao occupied Sun Ce's lair; Sun Ce captured the families of Liu Yao and Tai Shici, and Liu Yao captured the families of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

When Sun Ce heard the bad news, he felt like he was struck by lightning.

His eyes flashed and he took several steps back and sat on the desk.

His face turned pale and frightening.

"It's a capital crime for me, it's a capital crime.

I feel sorry for the old princess, and I also feel sorry for the young master.

I really have no shame in embarrassing myself in front of the young master anymore.

I also ask the young master to find a way to save the old lady and several young masters."

As Huang Gai spoke, he drew a sword from the waist of a soldier next to him and wanted to kill himself.

"Stop him!"

Sun Ce, who woke up in time, shouted.

Two soldiers had already rushed forward and grabbed Huang Gai's hand, but they failed to prevent him from killing himself.

Sun Ce was also a determined man.

When his family was captured, he had to stabilize his mind to appease Huang Gai.

He was one of the only two veterans who had made great achievements with his father Sun Ce back then.

The remaining one, Cheng Pu, was currently guarding Chaisang.

Just after comforting Huang Gai, Sun Ce paled again when he thought of Cheng Pu.

Now Chai Sang, who was guarded by Cheng Pu, had to guard against a possible attack by Liu Biao in Jingzhou and a sneak attack from Tai Shi Ci from behind.

He was afraid that he would be unable to support himself alone.

No, Danyang, Wu Commandery and Kuaiji must be stabilized as soon as possible, and troops must be gathered to take back Yuzhang Commandery.

However, Sun Ce was wary of having his family in Liu Yao's hands, worried that Liu Yao would harm them.

Zhou Yu was not around, so Sun Ce had no choice but to bring Zhang Hong and others to discuss countermeasures.

Finally, he decided to send Zhang Hong as an envoy to Nanchang and proposed to Liu Yao the idea of ​​exchanging family members and vassals of both parties.

Cheng Pu, who was stationed at Chaisang, focused his attention on Jingzhou, but he had no idea that Nanchang had been captured by Taishi Ci.

He was attacked from behind by Taishi Ci.

More than a hundred people sent by Taishi Ci disguised themselves as civilians and drove carriages to block it.

The city gate was blocked, causing the city gate suspension bridge to be unable to be pulled up.

Taishi Ci then led his troops to attack.

The veteran general Cheng Pu struggled to lead his troops to resist, but in the end he failed because the general was heartbroken.

Bie Taishi Ci was wounded and captured.

More than half of the soldiers in the city were captured, and the rest were either killed or routed.

Nanchang.

Liu Yao knelt and sat on the main seat, with officials and generals standing on both sides.

A man came to the gate.

This man was Zhang Hong sent by Sun Ce.

Zhang Hong walked to the middle of the lobby and saluted with his hands raised: "Zhang Hong, the chief officer under General Sun, has met Liu Jishi."

Liu Yao picked up the wine cup and drank it, and asked: "Zhang Hong, why do you come to see me today?"

Zhang Hong asked with a smile: "Don't Governor Liu want to welcome back his family?"

Liu Yao's face stiffened, but he quickly sneered: "What's the matter?

Sun Ce's son wants to use his family to threaten me, but he doesn't want to think about the fact that he, Sun Ce's family and most of his officials are now locked up in prison by me.

If he dares to touch Even if I don’t have a single hair on my family’s head, I will have all my family members buried with me.”

Zhang Hong was not angry, he raised his hands and said: "Liu Governor, you have said so much.

Naturally, my lord does not dare to touch your family, but if you dare to touch my lord's family, you will definitely suffer the consequences.

Zhang came here this time to discuss with Governor Liu on behalf of my lord, the exchange of family members and captured officials.

I wonder if Governor Liu intends to exchange."

Liu Yao said: "Of course there is an exchange.

Let's do this.

You stay here first and rest for a day or two.

When you have rested, we will discuss the exchange of family members and captured officials.

Someone will come and arrange a place for Zhang Changshi."

"Yes" an official stood up and agreed, saying to Zhang Hong: "Zhang Changshi, please"

Zhang Hong originally wanted to say that he was not tired and could just talk about anything, but saying that would make him appear to be in a hurry, which would be detrimental to the negotiations, so he persisted and followed the officials sent by Liu Yao.

As soon as Zhang Hong left, Liu Yao immediately said to Zhang Ying: "General Zhang, please immediately send someone to Chaisang to report this matter to General Taishi.

After all, his family members were also captured by Sun Ce."

Zhang Ying promised: "Don't worry, the governor, I will send someone to Chaisang right away."

At this time, Taishi Ci was sending troops to capture other cities in Yuzhang County, and had conquered more than half of them.

After receiving the news sent by Zhang Ying, he immediately arranged for his general Fan Neng to command 3,000 troops to guard Chaisang, and he took the remaining troops with him.

Return to Nanchang
