    Jiangdong's army and the defenders of Xinye had a final confrontation.

    Sun Ce took off his helmet and let the wind pull his long black hair.  The defenders of Xinye had been defeated. Due to the lack of food, many of the defenders did not even have the strength to lift their swords. Even so, they followed their generals and rushed out of Xinye, preparing to use their lives to show their final loyalty to Jingzhou.  .  Although such a death-seeking army did not bring much trouble to Sun Ce, it did bring a huge impact in his heart.  Therefore, Jiangdong's army did not kill them at the last moment, but formed a siege and captured most of the defenders alive.  [bsp; Sun Ce looked at the captured defenders. Although they were disarmed and surrounded by enemies several times larger than himself, there was no fear or uneasiness on their faces. I am afraid that Sun Ce would give an order now.  Even if it takes their lives, it will be difficult to make them show the slightest fear.  Sun Ce couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he could be regarded as an unparalleled military soul in the world if he could not show any regret until the moment he died in battle.

    Sun Ce did not want to humiliate these people any more, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Give them rations for a thousand men, disperse the whole army, and let them go."

    Huo Jun took a step forward and said angrily: "Sun Ce, kill him if you want. There is no point in pretending here. We good men in Jingzhou will not be favored by the enemy."

    Sun Ce let out a long sigh: "General Huo, I don't like to be merciful to the enemy. Although you are stupid, you have shown me people who fight for honor and integrity. Let you go as if it were  Let me thank you."

    "Stupid?" Huo Jun snorted heavily, "Sun Ce, you don't understand anything at all."

    "I don't understand anything." Sun Ce's tone suddenly became stern, "I only know that on the eve of the fall of Xinye City, your wise lord Liu Biao was lying in the silk and satin of Jiangling City, drinking and having fun.  Any support available to you."

    Huo Jun lowered his head and said sadly: "Jingzhou is so big that it is difficult for the lord to take care of everything. We have just been forgotten."

    "No, you have not been forgotten." Sun Ce smiled coldly, took out a military newspaper from his breastplate and threw it to Huo Jun, "My spies intercepted the order from Xiangyang yesterday. The letter ordered you to do whatever it takes.  , to forcibly defend Xinye. Once it is breached by me, all the houses and buildings in the city must be burned immediately. As for the food shortage mentioned above, if my understanding is correct, it seems that it was deducted by you, General Huo."

    Huo Jun looked at the order in his hand, his eyes seemed to be bursting with fire. He gritted his teeth, leaving a sharp line on his cheek.

    "General Huo also has to obey such an order?"

    Huo Jun was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Yes, I must obey. There is no other choice."

    "Oh." Sun Ce heard that Huo Jun's tone had loosened up, so he took another step forward and asked in a low voice: "General Huo has something to hide, is it inconvenient to tell him?"

    "I can't surrender, I can't surrender" Huo Jun gritted his teeth.  He became an official in Liu Biao at the age of twenty, and has been ordered to guard Xinye. He has always shared joys and sorrows with his soldiers, and now in front of his brothers, he can't tell his difficulties no matter what, even in Xiangyang City, trapped  His parents, wife and children.

    Can¡¯t surrender?  Sun Ce frowned, where is this?  Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, led his horse close to Sun Ce, and whispered, "Brother, do you still remember Wenpin?"

    Sun Ce suddenly realized that he was full of contempt for the likes of Liu Biao and Cai Mao. Those who govern the world with filial piety will not harm others' relatives, and those who govern the world with benevolence will not stop people from worshiping them. Liu Biao is really in vain to be called the Eight Horsemen of Jingzhou, and he even has this point.  Don't even understand.  Whether he is the overlord who rules the world in troubled times, or he is a penniless commoner, as a son, husband, or father, he always hopes that his family will be safe and able to survive in troubled times.

    Sun Ce jumped off the horse, walked into Huo Jun, and whispered: "General Huo, if my guess is correct, the reason why you can't surrender is because of the word 'filial piety'?" Sun Ce lowered his voice in his throat, even if it was  It is difficult for people standing next to him to hear clearly what he is saying without concentrating.

    But Huo Jun heard clearly. He looked into Sun Ce's eyes, and a desolate look slowly appeared on his face. He wanted to say something, but he felt like he was mute and couldn't speak for a long time.  At the end, Huo Jun nodded gently.

    "Filial piety comes first, why should General Huo be ashamed of this?" Sun Ce smiled faintly, and then whispered, "General Huo, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. If I ask you to be filial, I wonder if General Huo can switch to  Under my account. Although I dare not say that I am a wise master who is rare in the world, but at least I can clearly distinguish between right and wrong."

    Huo Jun lowered his head and thought for a long time, then asked: "Where are my brothers?"

    Sun Ce smiled and said, "But I will obey General Huo's orders."

    ?Huo Jun nodded: "Okay, as long as you treat my brothers well and rescue my family from Xiangyang, we will sincerely call you my lord."

    "Okay, it's settled." Sun Ce got on his horse, "But before that, I have to wrong General Huo and all the good brothers and fake death once."

    Sun Ce was walking on the streets of Xinye with his horse, and asked Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, has Taishi Ci been caught?"

    Zhou Yu shook his head and looked at Gan Ning and others behind him. Gan Ning shrugged his shoulders and said, "Gong Jin, don't look at me. I don't know where he went."

    Cheng Puce immediately took a few steps forward and said to Sun Ce: "We know that your lord cherishes talents, so we checked carefully several times, but there is no trace of Taishi Ci among the dead or captured defenders."

    "This is strange." Sun Ce was a little confused, "Taishici is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so why didn't he follow Huo Jun out of the city for a decisive battle?"

    Gan Ning blinked and said with a smile, "Maybe my lord and I were mistaken this time?"

    When the generals heard this, they all laughed.  Sun Ce raised his whip and said: "Let's not say so much. If it is mine, there is no way to escape. Let's go to Xinyefu Yamen first to discuss how to get Huo Jun's family out of Xiangyang and discuss the next march.  Route." After saying that, Sun Ce clamped his horse's belly and let the horse run in the direction of Xinyefu Yamen, and the generals also followed suit.

    The generals walked into the central hall together, and there was no one in the yamen. As soon as Sun Ce stepped across the threshold, he felt his heart palpitate again for no reason. It was the same feeling as the last time he faced Taishi Ci.  Before Sun Ce had time to think about the reason, an arrow whizzed straight towards his face, and he could almost feel the air flow stirred up by the arrow.

    "Lord, it's dangerous!" Gan Ning and others shouted in alarm, but the enemy suddenly fired cold arrows, and the generals were unable to rescue them.

    Sun Ce jumped back based on intuition. The long sword at his waist was unsheathed. The cold light flashed out and broke the arrow into two pieces.  Sun Ce broke out in a cold sweat, but before he could land, the second arrow was already heading straight for his heart.  The first arrow that Sun Ce avoided was just to make him do what he did at this time. The real killer was hidden in the almost uninterrupted second arrow. Now it was too late to retract the sword. He was in the air again, without a trace.  Focusing on it, Sun Ce could only twist his body with all his strength, but it was too late. The long arrow penetrated the armor forged from fine steel, and then penetrated into Sun Ce's left chest.

    Sun Ce fell heavily to the ground. Taishi Ci threw away his long bow, jumped down from the beam, pulled out the two halberds from behind, and rushed towards Sun Ce like a tiger.

    "Sun Ce, you bastard, I'm going to kill you today!"
