Lu Bu asked him to give this gift, so it was not to let him vent his anger. The Jiangdong Army did not hurt Guangling's army this time.

How many of the more than a thousand troops in Jiangdu City were able to escape from the Jiangdong Army's attack, and Zudu's betrayal caused confusion for the Guangling Navy, whose combat effectiveness was less than half of its usual level.

Zu Du's betrayal is a disgrace to the Guangling army, and I am afraid it will become the laughing stock of other generals in the future.

Military generals attach great importance to their own face, and now that Cheng Pu's head is in place, Hou Cheng feels that his back is straight.

After traveling for more than ten miles, the scouts sent news that a battle was taking place ahead, and one of them was fighting under the banner of the Xuzhou Army.

"Definitely, the army led by Yuanlong, go quickly." Lu Bu ordered.

The distance from Jiangdu to Guangling is only sixty miles, but after withdrawing troops from Jiangdu, Chen Deng has endured a lot of torture.

The Jiangdong army was chasing after him fiercely, with no intention of letting go. This made Chen Deng even more certain that the Jiangdong army was plotting against Guangling. He could only pin his hopes on Hou Cheng.

If Guangling is lost, the status of the Chen family in Xuzhou will definitely be affected in the future, including that it is impossible for him to get Lv Bu's reuse again. The monarch and his subjects choose each other. When the subjects make the monarch feel dissatisfied, If you want to have a greater improvement, it is easier said than done.

The Jiangdong army's attack on Guangling also made Chen Deng realize the shortcomings of the navy.

After the establishment of the Guangling navy, although the training was impressive, it was not as good when it was actually fighting the enemy. The navy must not only be good at fighting on the water, but also adapt to fighting on the ground.

Among them, Zu Du's betrayal annoyed Chen Deng the most. Zu Du was the general he single-handedly promoted. Who would have thought that at the most critical moment, it was Zu Du who betrayed him.

"Chen Deng, hurry up and catch him with your arms tied. Don't you think you'll be safe by fleeing back to Guangling?" Huang Gai shouted majesticly.

Chen Deng snorted coldly: "Even if I die in battle, I will not take refuge with you shameless people. If Marquis Wen comes, I will definitely let you die without a place to die."

Huang Gai laughed loudly and said, "Marquis Wen? Now I'm afraid I still have to worry about Pengcheng's safety, how can I care about Guangling."

"Chen Taishou, if you take refuge in the lord, you will be recommended by him, and the benefits of the Chen family will be indispensable." Zu Du persuaded.

Chen Deng pointed at Zu Du with trembling fingers and scolded angrily: "You shameless person actually betrayed me. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have lost Jiangdu."

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Why should Chen Taishou do this?" Zu Du said.

"Zudu, if there is a chance, I will definitely cut you into ten thousand pieces, so that I can wash away my hatred. You shameless people will be punished by everyone." Chen Deng scolded.

Huang Gai sneered and said: "Chen Deng, at this moment, he is still trying to be brave in front of this general. Look at the soldiers behind him, do they still have fighting spirit?"

The soldiers who followed Chen Deng to retreat from Jiangdu are now only more than [-] people left. Their expressions are full of fear and uneasiness. Everyone will die on the way to retreat to Guangling.

"All those who follow me are warriors from the Xuzhou Army. They are the elite under Marquis Wen's tent. Even if they die, they will not join the Jiangdong rebels." The official killed and returned to Guangling."

From Chen Deng's words, what the lieutenant soldiers felt was the determination to see death as home, and returning to Guangling was even more the hope of the lieutenant soldiers. It was only [-] miles away from Guangling, and it only took half a day at the speed of infantry.

"Withdraw to Guangling? It's a joke. I'm afraid Guangling has already been breached by the army led by General Cheng Pu." Huang Gai laughed wildly.

Chen Deng's heart sank. The Guangling Army had reached such a level that Huang Gai obviously had no need to hide.

"Nonsense. There are elite defenders in Guangling City. The city is high and the pond is deep. It is wishful thinking to break through Guangling." Chen Deng retorted.

The more it was at such a time, the less he could show weakness. The reason why the soldiers who followed him did not leave was because they wanted to return to Guangling City. Once they lost their last hope, these soldiers might leave him.

"Kill, capture Chen Deng alive!" Huang Gai shouted.

Chen Deng led the army to fight and left, watching the number of soldiers in the army continue to decrease, Chen Deng's mood can be imagined.

At dawn, Chen Deng was surrounded by the Jiangdong army. Because Sun Ce led more than a hundred cavalry to kill them, the cavalry had such a terrifying movement speed on the battlefield that the speed of Chen Deng's retreat was greatly affected.

On the black horse, Sun Ce looked serious, looked at the Guangling soldiers in the arena and persuaded: "This general is Sun Ce, so let's put down our weapons. I will let the past go, otherwise, I will die."

The arena fell into a deathly silence. If there was hope of survival, who would choose to die? Death means everything is over.

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army around them made the soldiers of Guangling feel desperate. It was obviously impossible for them to escape from the hands of the Jiangdong Army.

The cavalry of the Jiangdong Army was enough to cause them to suffer huge casualties on the way back to Guangling.

"Prefect, what should we do?" A general asked in a low voice.

"After General Hou Cheng returns to Guangling, he will definitely lead an army to come to support him. Guangling is only [-] li away from here. As long as the soldiers in the army fight to the death, there may be a chance to escape." Chen Deng said.

Chen Deng's words restored the confidence of the generals in the army.

"Chen Deng, the general admires your ability quite a lot. If you are willing to join us, the position of prefect of Guangling is still yours." Sun Ce stepped forward and shouted.

Chen Deng was unmoved at all. If he made such a choice, the Chen family in Xuzhou would really be over. It should be known that the important figures of the Chen family are now in Pengcheng, and the monarch cannot tolerate the betrayal of the courtiers.

This is why Chen Deng would rather die in battle than seek refuge with Sun Ce.

"Sun Ce, you sent envoys to Pengcheng back then, but now you are leading an army to attack Guangling, aren't you afraid of Marquis Wen's anger?" Chen Deng asked.

Lv Bu was the pride of the Xuzhou army lieutenant. At this time, Chen Deng mentioned Lv Bu, which restored a lot of confidence in the lieutenant. They had absolute confidence in Lv Bu's combat effectiveness.

Chapter 299 It's Marquis Wen's cavalry, it's the lord who's coming

Sun Ce laughed loudly and said, "I thought Chen Yuanlong was a smart guy, but now it seems that he is so pedantic. What is the difference between Lu Bu wanting to compete with General Yuan and courting death?"

"Ben Jiang admired your talent and persuaded you like this. Otherwise, you would have been decapitated long ago."

"Thanks to your love, I will swear to the death." Chen Deng said seriously.

"Okay, what a Chen Deng." Sun Ce snorted coldly, and at the same time felt a little depressed. Lu Bu is a traitor in the eyes of the princes of the world. Why is Chen Deng willing to work for Lu Bu? Even if the Chen family is in Pengcheng, once the Jiangdong army breaks through Guangling In terms of the city, does Lu Bu still dare to act rashly?

"To capture Chen Deng alive, he was going to let Chen Deng see with his own eyes how Guangling and even Xuzhou fell." Sun Ce shouted.

After the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army received the order, they rushed forward immediately.

Chen Deng commanded the lieutenant generals to fight. From time to time, some soldiers put down their weapons and chose to surrender. In less than half an hour, there were only a hundred or so people around Chen Deng.

It was because of Zhou Yu that Chen Deng was captured alive. The Chen family where Chen Deng lived had considerable influence in Xuzhou. A living Chen Deng was the most valuable. It was easy to kill Chen Deng, but it was the Chen family in Xuzhou who aroused This will not help Sun Ce to march into Xuzhou in the future.

After the battle in Jiangdu, Sun Ce admired Zhou Yu even more. Zhou Yu was the biggest hero in capturing Jiangdu and Guangling.

Guangling is rich and prosperous. After obtaining Guangling, Sun Ce's strength can be further improved.

Sun Ce didn't want to follow Yuan Shu's orders all the time. He also wanted to make a career. At the beginning, Sun Jian obeyed Yuan Shu's dispatch, so why not let the Sun family have a good territory, but it's a pity that Sun Jian's governor of Xuzhou fell to someone else.

Jiangdong is where Sun Ce rose to prominence.

It would be unforgivable for Yuan Shu to miss such a good opportunity to fight Lu Bu.

As for sending envoys to Pengcheng before, in Sun Ce's view, it is nothing at all. As long as there are enough interests, the alliance between the princes is not binding. As a prince, if you can't even understand this point If so, it is the most dangerous.

Interests are the most important in the eyes of princes.

"To capture Chen Deng alive, the general should immediately lead the army to Guangling to avoid other accidents." Zhou Yu said, until now there is still no news of Cheng Pu, which makes him a little uneasy.

"General, it's not good. Lu Bu led his cavalry to Guangling and drove our army out of the city." A general rode his horse and shouted.

This cry even made the two sides in the confrontation stop fighting.

Sun Ce's complexion changed slightly when he heard the words, and he no longer had the calm expression he had just said, "Why did Lu Bu appear in Guangling?"

Chen Deng laughed and said: "Guangling soldiers, Marquis Wen led an army to help Guangling, but Sun Ce's plan failed. Marquis Wen will come to rescue us soon, and it will be the Jiangdong Army that will fail."

This kind of news is definitely a sound of heaven to the Guangling army that is on the verge of death. Many soldiers' fighting spirit is rising. They are soldiers of the Xuzhou Army. The hope of survival is in front of them. Why should they give up?

"Where's General Cheng Pu?" Sun Ce asked.

"General Cheng led an army to attack the prefect's mansion, and suddenly a large number of cavalrymen were killed in the city. It was difficult for the last general to guard the city gate, and he didn't know about General Cheng's situation." The general lowered his head in shame.

Sun Ce gritted his teeth and scolded: "Incompetent, you can't even guard the city gate, what use are you for?"

The Xuzhou cavalry appeared in Guangling City, and the city gate was captured by the Xuzhou army, which shows that Cheng Pu's situation is extremely dangerous.

"Do you know which general in the Xuzhou army is leading the cavalry?" Zhou Yu asked.

The general shook his head. The Jiangdong army occupying the city gate at that time thought that they could rest easy. Who would have thought that a cavalry team would suddenly appear in Guangling city.

"Catch Chen Deng first." Sun Ce said slowly.

The Xuzhou cavalry came from Pengcheng, which made Sun Ce feel the urgency of the situation. It was indeed unexpected that the Xuzhou army dared to send cavalry to support Guangling at this time.

The news brought back by the generals under Sun Ce made the soldiers around Chen Deng excited. At this time, they had already confirmed that Guangling City was in their own hands. As long as they persisted, reinforcements would come.

"What's the use of struggling hard." Sun Ce raised the spear in his hand and said in a low voice.

Many generals in the army turned their attention to Sun Ce. They understood that this was Sun Ce's plan to make a move. The reason why the young Sun Ce was able to subdue the fierce generals under Sun Jian's tent in the past was because Sun Ce had high martial arts skills. The attack on Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang was not defeated either.

Although there are reasons why the three of them did not dare to fight with all their strength, Sun Ce is also an extremely terrifying figure.

Billowing dust and smoke appeared not far away, attracting the attention of Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers.

"No, it's cavalry." Han Dang reminded.

Just by looking at the dust and smoke in the distance, one can imagine how many cavalrymen are coming.

There is no cavalry of this scale in the Jiangdong Army. The only possibility is the cavalry from the Xuzhou Army.

"Prepare for battle!" Sun Ce shouted, narrowing his eyes slightly, looking at the cavalry not far away.

A gust of wind blew by, and the banner with the word "Lu" came into Sun Ce's eyes.

"Could it be that Lu Bu came in person?" Sun Ce's heart froze.

Lu Bu is a long-established military general, and he has a great reputation among the princes, but this also aroused Sun Ce's warlike heart. He was invincible in Jiangdong and defeated Lu Bu, which is definitely a world-famous event.

The cavalry that came rumbling broke the situation on the battlefield, and the offensive that Chen Deng and others faced weakened a lot.

"Marquis Wen, it's Marquis Wen's cavalry, the lord is here." Chen Deng was very excited.

Looking at the soldiers around him, there are only dozens of people left. Back then, Guangling's naval army had 500 people. In one battle, only these were lost, and he felt even more guilty.

Thinking back to how high-spirited he was when he was appointed as the prefect of Guangling for Lu Bu, he wanted to do more in Guangling, and the formation of the navy was also the army he proposed to defend Jiangdong. Unexpectedly, after the First World War, the navy would become past.

Chen Deng shed tears, both excited and guilty. Lu Bu personally led the cavalry to help Guangling, which melted Chen Deng's heart.

The speed of the cavalry was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, they appeared in the sight of Jiangdong Army soldiers.

Within a stone's throw of Jiangdong's army, the guards reined in their horses one after another.

Such neat movements made the atmosphere in the arena even more dignified.

The scimitar exuded a icy cold light, and the face of the guard cavalry was a little tired, but they looked at the Jiangdong Army with burning anger.

Chapter 300 Sun Ce's Provocation

This is the enemy army that invaded Xuzhou. All they have to do is to obey Lu Bu's order and give the enemy a severe lesson with the scimitar in their hands.

Sun Ce's expression became more and more dignified. From the Xuzhou cavalry, he felt a huge pressure. It was like a fierce tiger entrenched in front of him.

When the infantry faced the cavalry, they themselves would be under tremendous pressure, even though the Jiangdong Army had already taken precautions, and even gave up the attack on Chen Deng to a certain extent.

The strength of the cavalry lies in its invincible destructive power. The terrain here is open, that is to say, if it cannot withstand the cavalry's attack, the Jiangdong Army will be accompanied by a stormy attack by the Xuzhou cavalry.

Looking at the formation of the Xuzhou cavalry, Sun Ce was also quite envious. If he could have such an elite cavalry under his command, why not be able to rule the world.

Silent oppression came to his face, and Chen Deng led the soldiers back to the side of the cavalry.

"Is Sun Ce in the army?" Lu Buce immediately stepped forward and asked.

The battle robe was stained with blood, and the mane of the red rabbit horse was also knotted together.

Sun Ce laughed loudly and said, "I've heard that the cavalry under Marquis Wen's command are brave. When I saw them today, they are really extraordinary."

Lu Bu took a closer look at Sun Ce, but he saw that Sun Ce was about eight feet tall, with a burly figure and piercing eyes. He was not an ordinary person at first glance.

"Sun Bofu, why did you lead the army to attack Guangling for no reason?" Lu Bu asked.

Sun Celang said: "This statement is wrong. As the so-called rebellious officials and thieves are punished by everyone, in the past you betrayed the governor of Bingzhou Ding Yuan, worked for the tiger, and killed many loyal officials and generals of the Han Dynasty. You will be a courtier of the Han Dynasty. thief."

"You're not afraid of being laughed at when you say such an excuse. If you want to take Guangling from this Marquis, it depends on whether you have the ability." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

"This general admires Marquis Wen's courage. Pengcheng is in danger, and he led his cavalry to Guangling. If General Yuan knows the news, what kind of attack will the Xuzhou Army endure?" Sun Ce sneered.

Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "Yuan Shu is just a mere thing, this Marquis doesn't pay attention to it. Since Ben Marquis brought it, it will be the time when the Jiangdong Army will be destroyed."

The generals behind Sun Ce heard the words and looked at Lu Bu with anger. In their minds, Sun Ce is an invincible existence, and the army under Sun Ce has also gained a great reputation in Jiangdong over the years. Although Lu Bu has the reputation of being brave , but it is accompanied by a lot of infamy.

The two cannot be compared.

After receiving Lu Bu's hint, Hou Chengce immediately stepped forward and said, "It's really not easy for the Jiangdong Army to come from afar. Marquis Wen specially prepared a gift for General Sun."

Hou Cheng's words were very polite, even slightly respectful.

A cavalry rode forward, took the wooden box from Hou Cheng's hand, and rushed back to the main formation.
