Liu He sat up and patted his forehead. Although he tried his best to control it, he had a lot of talks yesterday and there were too many people toasting, so he was still a little overdose in the end. Although he woke up from alcohol, his head still hurt a little.

As soon as the door of the tent was lifted, Xun Chen walked in. Seeing Liu He like this, he chuckled: "General, have you a headache?"

"Oh, I made Youruo laugh. When the two armies were fighting, they were drunk. I was really a piece of rotten wood and could not become a great man."

Liu He smiled bitterly and reached out to signal Xun Chen not to be polite. Xun Chen did not sit down. "General, no one is wrong. If you have any mistakes, you can correct them. Now is not the time to blame yourself. There may be more headaches later. Please cheer up and be prepared."

Liu He was shocked, his body moved slightly, and then forced himself to control it. Although it was only a moment, he could not escape Xun Chen's eyes. Xun Chen nodded secretly. Liu He had experienced the storm and had a good personality.

"What happened? Was Wu'er the camp?" Liu He said in a calm tone as much as possible, but his heart was a little upset. The daytime battle was not good, and his morale was already damaged. If he was attacked again at night, it would be very unfavorable to the morale of the army.

"No, but this matter is more troublesome than Wu'er's camp. Sun Ce is not in the camp opposite, he is in Tan County."

Liu He suddenly raised his head and clearly heard a slight sound on his neck. "What did you say, Sun Ce is in Tan County?"

Xun Chen was ready and nodded silently. Liu He supported the couch with both hands, bowed and was about to get up, but he didn't move. He paused for a moment, sat back slowly, took a breath, and slowly vomited out, with a bitter smile on his face.

"This is really surprising. Sun Ce actually left the main force and appeared in Tan County. So, Donghai may not be protected." Liu He stood up, found the map from the case, spread it open, looked back and forth for a moment, and clicked on the map twice with his fingers. "I'm afraid something happened to Xia Pi. However, Sun Ce acted so quickly, it should be mainly cavalry. Without siege equipment, he had no way to take Pi. Youruo, what do you think Sun Ce means to rush to Tan County?"

"Stop the general from going north and guarding the back for Tao Qian. In addition to Xia Pi and Tan County, Sun Ce may also send people to Qu County. There is a Mi family in Qu County, so Sun Ce can easily control Qu County. If you control these three points, Tao Qian's back will be considered safe."

"Whether they say it is safe or not." Liu He sneered his fingers and said, "I have cavalry in my hand, and the whole of Xuzhou can go."

"The general is right. Using cavalry interspersed raids can indeed achieve the effect. However, infantry cannot do this. If the general goes north at all costs, he can only give up Guangling and Xia Pi."

Liu He's eyes twitched, and his mouth felt a little bitter. This was an accident. No one expected that Sun Ce would escape from the main force and rush to Tan County, disrupting his plan. If Donghai was in hand, he would have half of Xuzhou. To the north, he could join forces with Yuan Xi to attack Tao Qian, and to the west, he could join forces with Yuan Tan to attack Sun Jian. Now the situation has changed suddenly, and he has only Guangling and Xia Pi in hand, and is trapped in a corner.

Of course there is no problem in breaking through, but his plan to occupy Xuzhou was failed.

Liu He's eyes turned to Xun Chen. "Youruo, can you have a clever plan to teach me?"

Xun Chen smiled. "The general has no choice, why not ask the leader for instructions?"

Liu He's eyes rolled, and he understood it. He sighed. "Sun Ce used troops, and he could not attack, and he could not defend. He could not defeat him. He could only ask the leader for help."

The two of them laughed knowingly, but shook their heads at the same time. Xun Chen withdrew from the tent. Not long after, Liu He's family came and reported to Liu He about the news that Tan County had changed hands and the head of the family was trapped. Liu He was mentally prepared and acted calmly, saying that he would have a solution. Soon after, Wen Chou sent another news, Sun Ce and Tao Ying appeared in Xia Pi, setting up camp in Yishan, and holding on.

Liu He immediately asked Chen Gui to discuss it. Chen Gui was also surprised to learn that Sun Ce appeared in Xia Pi. However, he was not very worried. Whether it was Xia Pi City or Chen family, Sun Ce could not be able to capture it in an urgent manner. As long as Liu He returned to support in time, Xia Pi would be very safe.

"What are the plans for the general?"

"Move troops to Xia Pi to see if you can break through the Yishan camp and defeat Sun Ce." Liu He sighed. "Sun Ce is indeed a strong enemy, and he must be united as one. Mr. Chen, please help me."

Chen Gui sighed. "Even if the general doesn't say anything about family hatred, I can't let it go with Sun Ce. General, Sun Ce has Yuzhou and Yangzhou as the foundation, and has formed an alliance with Tao Qian. His strength is not Guangling, and Xia Pi can compete. If there is no foreign aid, it will be difficult for the general to last for too long."

"Mr. Chen said very much. I want to ask for help from Alliance Leader Yuan. I need an envoy who can be respected by Alliance Leader Yuan. I wonder if Mr. Chen can work hard."

Chen Gui agreed with the promise with mercy.

Liu He was overjoyed and immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters. He first informed the news about Tan County and Xia Pi, and announced that he would transfer troops to Xia Pi. In order to facilitate his actions, he led the Prime Minister of Xia Pi and discussed with Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, to temporarily transfer Ling County, which was originally Guangling, to Xia Pi, to collect taxes, and to collect civil servants, and strive to repel Sun Ce as soon as possible to avoid affecting the farming season.

Zhao Yu agreed. Liu He was strong and powerful, and he had decided to support Liu He. Liu He said this to give him face, so how could he not agree?

Liu He reciprocates his favor and declares Zhao Yu as the deputy general. He asks him to be responsible for the logistics supply of the army and sends people to control Zhongdu to prevent Shen You's troops from breaking into Guangling County in the south of the Yangtze River. Then, he informs the rear of Wen Chou Palace and leads the army to Xia Pi.

Guo Jia also received news from Sun Ce and followed Liu He to Xia Pi. However, he walked very carefully and asked Lu Su and Dong Xi to be responsible for the front and rear armies, ready to fight at any time. Although Wen Chou had been cruising nearby, he never found an opportunity.

Three days later, both sides rushed to Xia Pi. Sun Ce received the news and sent someone to contact him and led Guo Jia to the Yishan Camp. After the two met, they exchanged relevant situations, and Guo Jia specifically expressed their approval to Lu Su. Bogupi was Lu Su's first battle, but he was brave and resourceful, and had the potential to be independent. Time was urgent, so he suggested that Sun Ce give Lu Su more opportunities to show his abilities as soon as possible and lay the foundation for the important tasks he entrusts to the future.

Sun Ce smiled. It was gold that always shone. Guo Jia could see the small things, and he would definitely see Lu Su's potential. This result was long as he expected. However, he was not in a hurry to let Lu Su walk to the front desk.

"Tao Qian is still unwilling to let go. Xuzhou will not become our territory in a short period of time. Talents like Lusu should not be promoted too quickly, otherwise it will easily attract people to hate, which will be unfavorable to him."

Guo Jia smiled. "The general is right. Lu Zijing is a proud person at heart. If he is by the general, there will naturally be no problem. Once he guards the side, it is really a problem whether he can get along with his colleagues."

"It's okay, he is proud, but not self-righteous. He still recognizes people who have real abilities. Letting him stay in the guard camp for a longer period of time can make Dong Xi, Quan Rou and the others dare not relax. Too kind, he will not have passion."

Guo Jia smiled with his palm.

At this moment, a noise came from outside the camp, and someone was arguing loudly. After a while, Youyi always reported that someone came outside to join the army, but refused to take the exam according to the normal procedures, claiming to compete with Sun Ce himself.

Sun Ce was very curious. "Who is so confident?"

"He called himself a native of Langya, his surname was Xu, his name was Sheng, and his courtesy name was Wenxiang."
