three kings

Chapter 361
Sun Can turned his gaze to Sun Ce, and saw that Sun Ce and some of the generals beside him were in a tight siege. Everyone's faces were very peaceful and full of generosity. He couldn't help but sighed slightly in his heart. Jia Xu's words made him After figuring out some things, I and Sun Ce are two completely different, very different people.But there is one thing that is similar, that is, they are all people who are truly unwilling to fail. For this kind of people, they can accept death in battle or defeat in battle, but they can never accept being captured and humiliated, especially when they are in their own hands. In front of the opponent, even facing thousands of sharp arrows, it will not make him lower his noble head and his unwilling heart.

At this time, Sun Can sighed and said: "Although it is impossible, I can't just give up like this. If Sun Ce can surrender, the blow to the Jiangdong Army's morale will be immeasurable. It doesn't matter whether he surrenders really or falsely. The important thing is that as long as he surrenders, most of Jiangdongjue's talents will be used by me. At that time, he can enjoy the rest of his life in peace, and if he turns his back on him, he will be executed in a legitimate manner."

After saying that, Sun Can ordered the soldiers to step back ten steps, galloped forward, and said loudly: "General Sun Ce, to tell you the truth, Gong Jin has already led a group of soldiers and horses to go to Wu County to defraud the city under the banner of the Jiangdong Army. You have no way out before, no way back after, even the last hope of Wujun will fall into my hands, it can be said that you are in a desperate situation. Now you have no soldiers to call except thousands of soldiers beside you The general respects you for your heroism, and admires your bravery. If you are willing to abandon your arms and surrender, this general promises that you will be treated as a guest of honour, and that even your soldiers will not be insulted in the slightest. It is a heavy responsibility. You and I are the people of the big man, why should the general fight to the death, causing both sides to lose and hate each other? Doesn’t the general cherish the lives of these loyal soldiers beside you?"

Sun Ce, who was thinking about countermeasures in the distance and didn't dare to act rashly, looked around slowly. There were many vegetation around him. Looking carefully, there was indeed something abnormal, showing signs of a heavy army ambushing. The more than 3000 soldiers were all standing together scatteredly, already exhausted, their armor was torn, and the blood on it had dried and turned black and red.Can't tell whether it's blood or the true color of Yijia.The bows and arrows have long been used up, and there are gaps in the swords. Every soldier's brows are deeply tired, and there is nothing but despair in their eyes.Sun Can's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears.Almost every soldier here has long known that death will come at any time, and their life and death are in their own thoughts.

Sun Ce smiled slightly, as if he had made some kind of decision, and said to Cheng Pu and Chen Wu who were guarding in front of him: "Mr.

Cheng Pu and Chen Wu hesitated for a while, glanced at each other, and silently stepped out of the way.

Sun Ce stepped forward a little bit, and Sun Can led Xu Chu a little bit forward, and they didn't stop until they could clearly see each other's face.

Sun Can looked at the haggard Sun Ce, and suddenly remembered the encounter a few years ago. He couldn't help feeling deeply moved, and asked, "General Sun, do you still remember what you and I said when we first met?"

Sun Ce asked confusedly, "What?"

Sun Can smiled and said: "That day, I intended to take you for my own use. You said that you only believed in the strong. If I could defeat you in battle, then you would be willing to serve me! Now, I am going south to Jiangdong , did not win with force, and defeated the enemy with wisdom in several battles. A few days ago, you were defeated by me in the battle. I have heard that General Sun has made a promise. Now that you are dying, it is because you keep your promise Time."

Sun Ce was taken aback, thought about it carefully for a while, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Don't make me angry, the general. At that time, Ce only said that Ce believed in the strong. If the general can defeat me in battle, I might Think about one or two. There is a world of difference between thinking about one or two and serving you as the general said. At this moment, Sun has already thought about it very clearly, and the general does not need to talk too much, because he has no intention of saying it."

He looked at Sun Can carefully, as if he wanted to imprint his face in his mind. It was this person who made him completely defeated and had no chance of turning over. If he hadn't tempted him to go south in the first battle, I'm afraid he would never have thought of it. This strategy.

At this time, he showed a self-deprecating smile, what's the use of talking so much now, the terrain of Shenting Ridge is dangerous, and it is not conducive to breaking through the siege.With the strength of the opponent and the bravery of the soldiers, forcibly breaking out of the encirclement is no different from sending them to death.He said: "General, you are also a vassal of a town and the commander of an army. How can you not know that the commander is captured, which is a shame and a great shame. Sun Ce is not talented, and he was the master of Jiangdong. If he begged for his life, what would I do?" Facing the ancestors of the Sun family, how can we face the people of Jiangdong, and how can there be any reason to restrain them?"

Sun Can thought that the other party had forgotten his oath, but he didn't expect the other party to remember it so clearly, and said: "Can knows that General Sun is righteous, and he will never be willing to rescue him, but the general is willing to die. Don't tell me that those soldiers under your command Should they all die, they are innocent."

Sun Ce glanced at the soldiers behind him, and he couldn't help but feel heavy. He would surely die today, so why bother to implicate these brothers who followed him?Let's see if there is a way out. If there is no way out, I have no choice but to...

Thinking of this, he smiled lightly, and said calmly: "I'm very curious, obviously you are chasing soldiers constantly, where did you get the ambush soldiers? When Sun broke out for the first time, he was blocked by at least 6 soldiers. These soldiers also Constantly chasing our army from behind, and then being thrown away by our army near Zhenze. As far as I know, you only brought [-] troops to the south. Some of them took over Moling, some of them wanted to swindle Wu County, and there were [-] more Many soldiers are still chasing our army on the road, how can you keep me?"

After all, Sun Ce pointed his spear at Sun Can, as if to break through.

"Haha" Sun Can laughed, "General Sun wants to see our army ambush, so please be blunt, don't go around explaining, this is not your character."

Sun Can knew that this was Sun Ce's last struggle, and he did exactly what Jia Xu said, knowing that there was nothing he could do, and he would not give up until the last moment.Anyway, Sun Ce was already the turtle in his urn, and if he wanted to escape but couldn't escape, he simply became more generous and rejected Sun Ce's idea of ​​breaking through, so he asked the soldiers to cheer up.

Under Sun Can's order, the sound of "dong dong" drums shook the sky, and there were loud shouts from the hills on the left and right, and densely packed soldiers appeared on the hills.Some shot with bows bent, some pointed at crossbows, and some even held boulders and flammable hay.

Sun Ce raised his eyes and saw that the mountain on the left was wearing blue battle armor. The leading general turned out to be Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong who had been chasing after him and were thrown away.

Looking to the right, the soldiers on the hill on the left were wearing white battle armor. The leading general did not recognize him, but standing behind him was Huang Zhong, the veteran who beheaded Huang Gai.

At this time, there was another scream from the rear, and the soldiers came to report that Zhang Fei led a large army to appear behind the army.

Sun Ce's expression was gloomy, and there was no hope. As long as the opponent stayed at the intersection, within half an hour, his army would be wiped out by the opponent's arrow rain and flying stones.

Sun Can said with a smile: "General Sun doesn't know something. In this strategy, General Sun's strategy is not the strategy, but the banner."

"Hall?" Sun Ce murmured to himself in confusion.

"That's right! It's the banner!" Sun Can said confidently: "Sun actually only brought 6 elite soldiers to the south. And the army that stopped General Sun did have more than 6 people. But you guessed a little wrong, It is true that there are [-] people who blocked you, but this does not mean that there are also [-] people who are chasing you. The generals have not changed, and the generals who are chasing you are still the same people, but their soldiers have been transferred back here. You escaped In a hurry, I didn’t notice this at all. I just instinctively believed that the same number of soldiers and generals must be the same. In this way, I hit the maze in your heart and made a wrong judgment.”

"Haha" Sun Ce laughed loudly, "So that's how it is! Then these generals should have arrived here on Qingqi after I changed lanes?"

Sun Can nodded with a smile, "Exactly. After General Sun changed his route, the general under Sun's command brought hundreds of personal guards and rushed here day and night to carry out the final encirclement and annihilation plan."

Sun Ce sighed, and said: "Although I am not reconciled, I have to admit that I have lost, completely defeated." He looked behind him and said, "Sun is incompetent and put you in a desperate situation. You have paid for me, Sun Ce. Today, because of my negligence, I let you die. Even so, you still fight to the death. In terms of emotion and reason, you have all done your duty, worthy of the heaven and earth, worthy of yourself. Now the situation of death, There is no point in continuing the battle. You are our indomitable warriors in Jiangdong, and now I order you to drop your weapons and surrender."

"My lord!" Cheng Pu burst into tears, and said, "We still have the strength to fight, we can't give up!"

Sun Ce smiled and said: "Cheng Gong, you have followed your father for decades, you are both wise and brave, how could you fail to see through the current situation, I am more unwilling than you in my heart, but with the current situation of our army, we are fighting to the death , it just increases the number of killings and casualties, it cannot change the situation of the battle."

His tone was full of despair and helplessness.

Sun Can just watched all this quietly, not feeling happy at all. It is really a pity that the overlord is a stranger, not to mention that he is the one who caused this situation.

Sun Ce showed a bright smile and said: "General, although you and I are close friends, we know each other as confidants. I have something to entrust to you. I wonder if you will agree?"

Sun Can said solemnly: "As long as it does not violate the interests, if Sun can do it, he must do his best and never lose his word."

Sun Ce's eyes were suddenly filled with warmth and longing, and after a quiet silence for a while, he said, "Sun lost his father when he was young, and his mother has endured all hardships, and brought him up with one hand. The grace of nurturing is as high as the sea, and Sun Ce A certain one's ambition of dominance left him no time to be filial to her old man. Sun Ce has nothing to worry about except his mother, and I hope the general will not make things difficult for him."

Sun Can said firmly: "Don't worry, General Sun. Sun Can swears to God here that he will never embarrass the Sun family for no reason. He will not do anything harmful to Mrs. Sun. .”

Sun Ce relaxed, and said with a smile, "I believe you." He tore out a piece of clothing from the armor, stroked the tip of the Overlord Spear with his index finger, wrote something on the cloth, and said with a smile, "I, Sun Ce, are all over the place. , How could he die in the hands of the enemy." After finishing speaking, Sun Ce drew his long sword out of its sheath, a cold light flashed, and amidst the exclamation of the crowd, his tall and straight body fell off the horse.

Sun Can said loudly: "No!" But it was too late, Cheng Pu and the others had long wanted to rescue them, but Sun Ce had already guarded against them, and suddenly drew his sword to kill himself, and they had no way to rescue them.

"Big Brother!" Sun Quan mourned loudly, he gave Sun Can a sad look, and said, "Sun Can, I hope you remember what you said today, otherwise, I will turn into a ghost and I will not spare you." Gu Ding knife cut across the neck He also fell off his horse.

"Haha! Mr. Wentai, Mr. Bofu! Demou is here to accompany you!" Cheng Pu stabbed himself in the throat with the iron spine snake spear, blood sprayed, and died immediately, falling to the ground.

Han Dang, Chen Wu and other generals also shouted "Master" and committed suicide one after another.

It was too late for Sun Can to save him. Looking at the corpses all over the place, he couldn't help but feel very sad. He didn't save any of them. The Jiangdong warriors are indeed loyal.

"Come here, bring the corpses of Sun Ce and the generals back to Moling and hand them over to their families. In addition, set up a monument here to write down everything that happened today, so that future generations can remember everything that happened today. In the orders to the various state capitals , From now on, Shenting Mausoleum will be changed to Heroes' Hill."

On March [-], Sun Ce, the overlord of Jiangdong, hanged himself in Shenting Mausoleum.

On March [-], Zhou Yu, with the help of Lu Xun, swindled open the city gate of Wujun as a remnant soldier from Jiangdong, and captured Wujun.

Six days later, Sun Can arrived in Wu County, and after ten days of rest, he began to dominate Jiangdong again.

On April [-], Sun Can's army surrounded Sanyin City, the capital of Kuaiji County. The army only defended but did not attack, and frequently sent people to negotiate with He Qi, the prefect of the city.

Afterwards, with Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao as the forwards, they divided their troops into two groups and took Yuzhang directly.Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were invincible all the way through the border, but Hua Xin, the governor of Yuzhang County, did not dare to fight, so he abandoned the city and fled.

The dragons in Yuzhang County had no leader, and Sun Can's army captured Yuzhang without any effort.

So far, the entire territory of Jiangdong has been under Sun Can's command.

Sun Canjun once again dominates the world, with the momentum to sweep the world and dominate the territory of the Han Dynasty.
